Chapter 160: The Gatekeeper and the Shepherd
In the early morning of the next day, Yin Yuan got up early, and when he was having breakfast, Duke Rose still did not appear, and the housekeeper looked a little worried.
Yin Yuan asked the butler, "Do you know where the duke usually goes, I haven't come back for a long time and I don't know, he hasn't come back yet, could it be that something happened?"
The butler pondered, "The Duke often goes to do something alone, but it is rare that he does not come back all night. As for where he will go, we don't know. ”
"In that case, then you go down first, and then talk about it later, and if he still doesn't come back tonight, then send someone to find him. Yin Yuan made a decision, "Also, take care of the people below, and don't allow any rumors to spread and affect the town." ”
"Yes, I'll do it. ”
After eating, Yin Yuan returned to the study, which had been cleaned by the servants, and looked very bright and tidy.
Sitting at the desk, a black mist appeared in front of Yin Yuan's eyes, the black mist was intertwined, and an illusory mirror appeared on the table, and the scene in the study last night appeared in the mirror.
Yin Yuan looked somewhere above his head, then lowered his head again, and his hand stroked over the table, and the black mist and mirror disappeared.
Walking to the bookshelf, looking at the row of bookshelves where the books were missing, he recalled in his mind the memories of yesterday's flipping through the pages, when he looked through them yesterday, Yin Yuan had stored all the contents of the books in his mind, and at this moment, a book was flipped through in Yin Yuan's mind, and the contents of the pages were clearly visible.
"Old Chapters", this is the name of this book, and the content is also some anecdotes, true and false, it is impossible to distinguish between true and false, but all the stories in this book have a protagonist.
Yin Yuan couldn't get any other information from it, rubbed his temples, Yin Yuan lay on the chair, at present, whether it was the relics of the capital or the matter of the Duke of Rose, they were all confused, the strange plants, and the black shadows lurking in, their origins, Yin Yuan did not know.
However, since he and the others appeared in this blood-colored mountain range, it means that the relics of Emperor Xudu are also in this area, but how to find out.
A carriage slowly drove in from the gate of the town, the holy white and patterned, showing the sacred, it was the carriage from the Holy See.
The people in the town were surprised, and some people who were originally from outside the Scarlet Mountains were even more surprised, but they knew that the Holy See had not entered the Scarlet Mountains for hundreds of years, otherwise, there would not be so many fugitives going to the Scarlet Mountains to hide, because they knew that the Holy See would not enter the Scarlet Mountains, but this agreement seemed to have been broken today.
Something is going to happen, and after some people look at each other, they all see such news from each other's eyes.
The carriage drove slowly towards the location of the church, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the town.
In that direction, there is the church, and people also think of the church in the town that has no people, although there is no one, but the Duke of Rose in the past generations will send people to clean and maintain.
People have always thought that this was the Duke of Rose ostensibly to maintain the status of the Holy See, but now it seems that the church is just for this day.
Shortly after the carriage of the Holy See entered the town, the Ducal Palace, the steward, had already received the news that "the carriage of the Holy See appeared in the town and was heading in the direction of the church." The butler muttered, and a man beside him stood there respectfully hunched with a flattering look on his face.
"Good, it's your reward. The butler's hand shook, and the three gold rose coins landed in the palm of his hand, and then dropped them on the man's outstretched palm. "Stand down. ”
"Thank you, Lord Butler, thank you, thank you. The man greedily looked at the gold coins in his palm, smiled and ran out of the Duke's Palace.
The butler walked upstairs and reported the situation to Yin Yuan.
Yin Yuan sat on the chair, his back was very straight at the moment, he looked ahead, his fingers lightly buckled on the table, "The people of the Holy See, then I'll go and see what they mean." Prepare a suitable gift for me. ”
"Yes. The butler said as he stepped back and prepared.
The church, the carriage drove in slowly, the pure white church, with ancient pattern reliefs on the outside, just because there was no one, it looked very empty.
The carriage had already stopped in the square outside the church, and the coachman stood respectfully beside the carriage, bowing and waiting.
The curtain opened, and a woman wearing a white robe, a crown of thorns, and a veil on her face stepped out, slowly got out of the car, and walked towards the church.
The coachman followed quietly.
A group of townsfolk who came with them were very surprised to see how the Holy See had sent a woman over, although she seemed to be quite good-looking.
When the woman entered, the door of the church was closed for the first time, and the door was closed on one side and the cross on the other, harmonious and holy.
Then, a pillar of holy white light rose to the sky, countless angels, flowers, beautiful musical notes, sacred prayers, gold and silver interlaced runes appeared on the holy white wall, and for a time, the church seemed to become a legendary heaven.
Yin Yuan stood in the corridor and looked at the scene in front of him, "Is this a provocation?"
In the dense forest not far from the town, the path began to twist, like a long snake, countless resentments rose to the sky, and converged into a twisted monster in the air, it was a monster with hands and a head, the monster looked at the pillar of light that soared into the sky in disgust, roared a few times, and then rushed into the ground and disappeared.
Roses were swaying and shaking all over the town, and somewhere underground, in a sea of blooming roses, a huge rose slowly opened, and a figure lay in the middle of the flower, the figure opened its eyes, and its pupils looked up in disgust like blood-colored roses.
Around Him, countless roses bloomed, and one by one the eyes opened, and the flowers hung down toward the central rose, like a courtier facing a king.
"Holy See!" a faint voice echoed in the space, and the flowers slowly closed.
Duke's Palace, the courtyard where the guards were located, Disma opened his eyes, "The breath of the Holy See, how is it possible?" Disma looked at the huge pillar of light through the window, his expression changed.
On the hill near the town, a group of people in tattered armor were gathering at this moment, led by a man with a cyan ghost face shrouded in black robes, who was talking.
