Chapter 1212: Under the Ancient Well

"The odds are so high?!" There was joy in everyone's eyes.

"But only if we find the other three 'supreme' artifacts."

"Now we only know the whereabouts of the King's [Scepter], but what about the other three? Where are they? ”

"Panic what! We have Myers, the prophet, here, and as long as these three artifacts are in the treasury, we will find them sooner or later. ”

After everyone discussed, they looked at Lin Qiye with a blank eye.

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, "Actually, in the prophecy just now, I already vaguely sensed the location of the [Holy Grail]. ”

"Found the Holy Grail? So fast? The agents spoke in surprise.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the Holy Grail is hidden in some dry oasis in the desert......"

"Then let's go now!"

“…… Don't rush. Lin Qiye held his forehead a little tiredly, "Just now, I only roughly sensed its location, and it is not clear how far I will go, and because of the continuous prophecy, my spiritual power has been a little overdrawn."

Well, let's rest here for the night, and when I'm back tomorrow, I'll go find the Holy Grail. ”

Hearing this, some of the agents looked a little embarrassed.

"But we have less than two days left, and if only the time comes when the imprint of those two gods has left in us has begun......"

"Hehe, you're so nervous." Lin Qiye smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said unhurriedly,

"After I recover tomorrow morning, I can predict the whereabouts of all the artifacts, this treasure house is not too big, we will find them one by one, and we will be able to collect all the artifacts in half a day at most.

Now, we are grasshoppers on a rope, you can't get four artifacts, you can't kill those two gods, then I can only be trapped here by them all the time.

How can I harm you? ”

Everyone thought for a moment, and their expressions softened a little.

"Alright, let's take a break here tonight, and then set out tomorrow to find the Holy Grail." Claude nodded in response.

……

"The dungeon has been attacked?"

When the city lord heard the report of one of his attendants, his face suddenly became gloomy, "What about the invaders?" "

"They...... They were all well kept in prison, but one of the attendants who had a quarrel with them before died, and his head was smashed severely. "

The attendant seemed to recall some disgusting image, and his face turned pale.

"People died, but they didn't run?" The city lord frowned slightly, and doubts appeared on his old face,

"Could it be...... Just pure revenge? "

"I don't know, we asked the intruders, and they didn't say anything."

"…… I know. The city lord was silent for a moment, "For countless years, there have never been invaders in Wucheng, but this time there are so many ...... in one breath

Could it be that this world is really going to be chaotic? "

"City Lord, what should we do now?"

"Tomorrow morning, kill the invaders and sacrifice them to the three gods...... Then send the dead squire over with you. The city lord said slowly,

"Inform all residents of the city to enter the highest alert state, and be ready to activate the artifact of inheritance and maintenance at any time to deal with more foreign invasions."

Hearing this, the squire's face changed:

"City Lord, is the matter so serious?

Even if more than 20 intruders came in one breath this time, wouldn't they still be suppressed by you in an instant? As long as your [Scepter] is in charge, no amount of intruders will threaten us, right? "

"No matter how strong the [Scepter] is, it's just an artifact, and we're all ordinary people." The city lord looked down at the cane in his hand, and a flash of worry flashed in his eyes,

"Moreover, not all 'supreme' artifacts in this world are under our control."

"Are you worried about ......"

The city lord sighed and looked out the window at Wucheng, which was shrouded in darkness, "May the three gods bless us......"

……

It's getting dark.

The morning sun fell on the ancient brick and stone pavement, and more than a dozen attendants carried one end of the silver lock and carried more than twenty prisoners with black bags on their heads, and walked to the execution platform on the edge of the city.

Many residents stood on both sides of the street, cautiously looking at the more than twenty intruders, curious and timid.

"They were the ones who made trouble in the city yesterday!"

"Supposedly an intruder from outside this world? What do you look like? "

"It's about the same as us, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, except that some of them don't have the same skin color as ours, whiter than bleached cloth!"

"Really? I didn't see it yesterday? "

"Fortunately, you weren't there, and they almost cut off my arm...... If it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the lord of the castle, I'm afraid I would have been sacrificed to the three gods. "

"Kill them quickly!"

"……"

Amid the cries of Wucheng residents, more than 20 "agents" were brought to the center of the execution platform.

Sharp knife lights flashed one after another, and a moment later, more than twenty bloody corpses fell to the ground, blood slowly flowing down the support of the execution table.

"Sacrifice the three gods!"

Among the attendants, I don't know who shouted, everyone immediately threw all the more than 20 corpses into an ancient blood-colored stone well.

The dull sound of landing echoed in the ancient well, and more than twenty bloody corpses were all submerged in the narrow darkness and disappeared.

"May the three gods bless."

Seeing this, everyone bowed their heads and chanted.

At the end of the execution, when the crowd dispersed, the attendants threw a corpse hidden under a black cloth in the corner with a broken head into the ancient well.

They stood by the ancient well, staring at the abyss in front of them, and muttered to themselves in the same way:

"May the three gods bless ......"

The attendants left, and there was a dead silence around the ancient well.

No one noticed that in the deepest part of this dark and narrow ancient well, three motionless figures like stone statues slowly opened their eyes.

"There are so many offerings...... Now, the sacrifice to the Holy Grail should be enough? "

One of the statues spoke in a low voice.

Babbling –

Finely rubble fell from the body of the central statue, and the dust-laden arm lifted up to hold up a mysterious dark golden goblet.

The viscous blood swayed on the edge of the wall of the cup, and it was halfway through the height of the cup.

A dim light flashed, and more than twenty blood-colored corpses piled up in the center of the ancient well automatically floated up, turning into a mass of blood and flowing into the dark golden cup.

"Huh?" The stone statue in the center narrowed his eyes slightly, "These sacrifices...... There is no life. "

"No life?"

"This is a soulless artificial body that cannot be sacrificed to the Holy Grail." The stone statue in the center was silent for a moment, "An outsider has entered the [King's Treasury]. "

"Someone else sent by the kingdom of God?" The stone statue on the left frowns slightly.

"I can't believe that after so long, there are still people thinking about this treasure trove...... Since these are soulless artificial bodies, those fools above must have been tricked by outsiders.

Their essence must be hidden somewhere in this [treasure house]. "
