In the darkness, the icon of the storm goddess Grimona still stands quietly in the center of the underground sanctuary, covered in veil, overlooking the earth.

Of course, according to strict doctrinal distinctions, the "goddess" in the underground sanctuary is the other side of Gemona, and should be called the "Maiden of the Silent Sea".

Duncan stared at the cold stone statue, and he was sure that he had heard a voice, a whisper that seemed to be in a dream, from the stone statue.

However, Shirley and Ah Dog, who were close at hand, had not responded until now - apparently only he had heard the voice.

"Mr. Duncan?"

Shirley also noticed Duncan's strange behavior at this time, her eyes widened a little nervously, and she involuntarily clinged to the dog, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Did you hear anything just now?"

Duncan casually extinguished the flame in his fingertips, and asked in a low voice as he cautiously approached the statue of the Silent Sea Maiden.

"Voice?" Shirley and Ah Gou looked at each other and shook their heads, "No." ”

The statue did not react to Duncan's approach, and no more sound was heard.

Duncan felt that he might be a little reckless this time.

He only felt that the connection between the Storm Goddess and this church had been severed, and that the previous summoning of the dog and burning the door of the temple had not caused any vision, so he let go of his hands and feet a little while exploring, but he did not expect that his own flame would attract the attention of the "god" - if the question just now really came from Gemona.

As a result, he reflected a little in his heart and decided to be cautious next time.

And while reflecting a little in his heart, he also suddenly had a question:

Looking at the situation of this church, before he and Shirley came in, this place was obviously completely abandoned and forgotten, and the connection between the storm goddess Ge Mona and this place has obviously been blocked, it stands to reason that his own flame is also the "invading force" in this church, and after the flame is burned, it can only make the erosion and shielding of this church more serious than before, just like lighting another fire on the ruins that have been seriously burned, but how ......

After the fire passed, the connection between the Storm Goddess and this place was briefly strengthened!?

Aren't you an intruder? Shouldn't one's own flame be very destructive to the power of the gods with the attribute of order? Why did you burn the spirit of the goddess?

The more Duncan thought about it, the more confused he felt, but he didn't think about it for long.

After all, he couldn't be sure whether the faint whisper just now was Ge Mona's voice or not, he was just speculating based on this conjecture, and the immediate priority was ...... It's about thinking about what to do next with this wrong church.

After the whispering disappeared, there was no follow-up, Duncan didn't know what a goddess was usually busy with, but the other party didn't seem to continue to look at this place now, and the rest of the underground sanctuary still maintained its original appearance, and the flames released by himself did not lift any "curtain" like the one in the abandoned factory.

He didn't feel the situation on the other side of the "curtain" anymore, the flame he had left in the split body of the umbrella monster was still nowhere to be seen, he could only be sure that the flame was still burning, and even began to spread, but he couldn't touch the "dimension" where the flame was located.

This church is indeed an important node in the veil, but with the strength of him and Shirley, it seems that it is not easy to pry this place.

And with the current situation of his body, coupled with the current distance between the Lost Country and the city-state of Purander, it will be difficult for him to mobilize a larger scale of flames, and it will be difficult for him to make a bigger movement here.

After weighing it so quickly, Duncan had a faint idea in his heart.

It's time to be "Enthusiastic Citizen Mr. Duncan" again.

This church has been hidden to this day, and some inexplicable force has been blocking outsiders from prying eyes on this place, so what if ...... Did he force the lid open?

He was curious to see how the Deep Sea Church in the city-state of Poland would react, and even more curious about what the Storm Goddess would do - since he couldn't open the curtain himself, he might as well make this place big news.

Of course, this time it may not be possible to find a few patrolling night watchmen to report it, which may kill the first investigators who came in, how to use a reliable and effective way to poke this place into big news...... You have to think about it carefully.

After thinking about it, Duncan unconsciously showed a smile on his face, this is the smile of the Lezi people when they are planning a big fun, but this smile startled Shirley and Ah Dog next to him, especially the latter, who clamped his tail on the spot: "Deng ...... Deng...... Mr. Duncan, do you have any plans? ”

Duncan waved his hand when he heard this: "It's nothing, I just plan to contribute to maintaining the order of the city-state." ”

Ah Gou purred in his throat, and said this in his heart, even if he said it to those crazy demons in the deep sea, I am afraid that no one would believe it, the expression on the big guy's face just now was obviously a subspace invader who finally figured out what a subspace invasion was, and was ready to carry out a subspace invasion with a smile......

"Well, there's nothing to see here," Duncan didn't care about Shirley and Dog's reaction, he just glanced back at the icon of Grimna, leaving a meaningful gaze before turning and walking towards the exit gate, "This place is not a good place to stay for long." ”

The group quickly walked towards the exit, but before leaving, Shirley couldn't help but stop: "Mr. Duncan, this ...... What about this dead nun? ”

Duncan also stopped, quietly watching the lady who had died in battle.

She was still young, sadly young, she was not a battle-hardened guardian of the Church, but she had died in the darkness of the Underground Sanctuary with a sword in hand.

Duncan suddenly realized a problem.

Nun...... Why is the guardian of the church a nun? Wouldn't there normally be a team of specially trained guards stationed here?

He recalled what he had seen in the main hall earlier.

The group of guards appeared to have died in the main hall of the church...... And according to what he saw in that scene of "superimposed reality", the defenders were not killed in battle, but more like they were sitting on a bench praying and suddenly all of them died violently.

The defenders who were supposed to be stationed in the underground sanctuary died suddenly in the main hall of the church, there was no sign of battle before her death, the nuns who were supposed to stay in the main hall were killed alone in the chapel, the intruders were suspected of being subspace, and there was no breath left after the battle, the church was sealed off and forgotten after that, and some kind of "aftersound" of the nuns returned to the main hall and continued to pray day after day......

Duncan's attention returned to reality, he stared at the nun quietly for a few seconds, and then said softly: "I'm sorry, I can't bury you, you stay here first, maybe someone will come to find out the truth of the year." ”

In this matter, it is really necessary to use the hands of "professionals".

Duncan stood up and walked to the exit to the main hall, and Shirley couldn't help but say in the back, "Ah, shall we just leave her here?" ”

"It's called a reserved scene," Duncan didn't look back, "let's go, the investigation here isn't over yet, but we don't need to do it ourselves." ”

Shirley groaned in understanding, and followed Duncan with the dog, and they left the underground sanctuary and walked to the staircase leading to the main hall.

There was a slight bump from behind them.

Duncan stopped abruptly and looked back in the direction the voice had come from.

At the entrance to the main hall stood a dark wooden door, slightly concealed, reinforced with steel and rivets, and sacred rune lines faintly visible on the door.

Shirley glanced back, her eyes slowly widening in horror.

Then she turned her head and saw Duncan with a straight face, his face as deep as water.

"Door...... Door ......" Shirley raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the door, opening her mouth a few times and not knowing what to say.

"I see it." Duncan interrupted Shirley, and then stepped back to the door of the temple, glancing at the dark door, and reaching out to push it gently.

The door is unlocked, but if you continue to push it, you will feel resistance.

Someone was stuck behind the door.

He withdrew his hand and pondered for a few seconds, resisting the urge to light another fire to bring the door open.

He already knew what to expect inside when he opened the door, and the strange phenomenon here made him give up the idea of trying again and again in a brutal way.

"Distorted Time and Space...... It's really twisted to a certain extent. ”

At the same time, in the Cathedral of the Deep Sea in the upper city, a calm-faced Vanna ended her daily prayer routine and arranged the day's work with her subordinates, and after she withdrew her followers and went to the depths of this magnificent and sacred building alone.

This is the Cathedral's archives, and under the gaze of the goddess, this archive records all those records that involve the transcendent and are not suitable for public.

In a sense, it stores the history of the city-state of Plande, the "memory" of the Church for this land.
