The orthodox **** that the Granger family believed in was the **** of the sun and the earth [Old Man with the Lamp], so this small church that was a hundred years ago is also the Church of the Sun. Generally speaking, the specifications of churches in the cemetery are different from those of regular churches. This is the first time Shade has seen the Church of the Sun in the cemetery.
Although it has been abandoned for more than 300 years, the cathedral in the urban area of Randall Valley City has not sent priests here for a long time, but it is probably because the lumberjacks who came to work here repaired it out of respect, or for other reasons, abandoned it. The church in the cemetery seems to have been maintained, and at first glance it doesn't look like it was destroyed three hundred years ago.
The earthquake in 1498 destroyed the most important catacombs in the Granger family cemetery. According to Earl Granger, although he tried to reopen the passage to the closed catacombs after the earthquake, he gave up after finding it too difficult.
The underground rock formations in this area are extremely thick. If you want to dig the ground, you don't actually dig up the dirt but the big rocks. Therefore, there is no need to worry that someone will easily steal those dusty tombs. And when the outsider arrives in 1854 in the universal calendar, the only area worth exploring is the chapel in front of you.
"If it wasn't mentioned in the memoir that Mr. Lehman kept one of the four gemstone keys in the hands of future generations for safekeeping, I really doubt whether today is a waste of time."
Xia De muttered, in that "Butterfly Family: My Life", only a few chapters were used to introduce Mr. Lehman's arrangements for his own funeral. The issue of the location of the cemetery is not mentioned in the book, but the whereabouts of the four gems are mentioned.
One is stored next to the statue of the ancient **** together with the memoir; one is entrusted to a friend to take away from home; one is given to the most precious daughter to pass on to future generations; one is thrown into the trading market, and fate decides that it will go away direction.
Because the colors of the four gemstones were mentioned in the memoir, Shad was able to confirm that the white gemstone provided by Stone Oxenfurt was the one "entrusted to a friend to take away from home".
Therefore, Xia Decai thought that he should gain something by coming all the way here today. If not, you can only consider consuming precious coins and let Luvia help you with divination.
The gray exterior wall of the chapel in the cemetery is covered with vines that withered in winter. All the windows were boarded up, but luckily the door was not.
The lower end of the rusty metal door has almost merged with the ground. Xia De pushed it but did not push it open. After using the door key to unlock it, he still couldn't push it open. Only then did he realize that the deformation of the door frame had completely locked the door.
"I apologize for that."
He said softly, then kicked the door open, and reminded himself to find a way to seal the door again before leaving.
The interior of the small church, which had been closed for a long time, was extremely gloomy and cold, and there was a smell of corruption. The area of this small church is quite limited, generally only including the main hall for prayer and the living area for the clergy.
At this time, the main hall was empty, with some construction waste piled up in the corners. The remains of dead rats and dead spiders lie in hidden corners, and it is not known which side starved to death first.
Xia De bent down and wanted to lift up the iron door that he had completely kicked off from the door frame and put it against the wall, but when he lifted up the thick metal door, he found that the lock of the door had been damaged. It's not clear if this happened dozens or hundreds of years ago.
And then, he actually saw tiny bloodstains on the rusty metal handle on the inside of the door. There was an extremely sharp bump on the door handle that looked like it had been accidentally scratched.
"Interesting, this is who came here - Echo of Blood."
Slightly squinting his eyes, the imperceptible blood stains on the doorknob immediately began to emit a scarlet light.
Xia De then looked at the ground under the door frame, and sure enough, he saw dripping blood. It appears that the wound was quite large when it appeared.
However, the owner of the wound didn't seem to have any intention of treating his own wound. Xia De looked inside the church, and there would be blood dripping scarlet colors on the ground at regular intervals.
He walked inward along the bloodstains, but found that the bloodstains did not spread to the back of the church where the clergy lived, but extended all the way to the stone pulpit and disappeared.
"The wound he treated here?"
Because the windows are closed, the light inside the church is quite weak. In order to prevent the ranger from following again, Xia De did not light up the light on his fingertips. Because of this, in the darkness, he could easily see the lower side behind the podium, and there was also a faint scarlet light representing bloodstains.
The amount of blood attached here is extremely rare. If it weren't for the sunlight at the door that couldn't reach such a deep place, Xia De wouldn't be able to observe it at all:
"I didn't bandage and clean my wound, but came here in a hurry... What's here?"
Behind the pulpit is the place where the clergymen stand, similar to a pulpit, and the bottom is usually empty. Xia De also bent down and squatted down, relying on his own dark vision to observe the location of the bloodstain. He tried to reach out and touch it, and was surprised to find that there was actually a stone button that could be pressed on the inner side of the stone pulpit, and a faint blood stain was attached here: "Is there really a secret?"
He didn't press the button in a hurry, but dropped the Silence Charm first, and pressed the button that seemed to be stuck after confirming that he was ready.
Xia De took a slight breath, and was about to light up the light on his fingertips and walk down, but he heard a dull roar coming from the bottom of the cave. Just thinking about what this is, a miserable green light has already shone from the entrance of the cave.
"Moonlight Great Sword."
The silver sword was pulled out from the air. Two seconds later, as the miserable green light became stronger and stronger, Xia De also saw the source of the light. An evil spirit with an oil lamp in his left hand and a shovel in his right, covered in ragged clothes and a skeleton face, floated out from the depths of the cave along the steps:
"This outfit... a grave robber?"
The dark interior space of the church was reflected in a miserable green, Xia De took two steps back, leaving room for himself to fight. The floating undead roared again, and after holding up the oil lamp, it turned into smoke and disappeared below the cave.
[Left. 】
As the roar of the undead came from the left again, Xia De hurriedly dodged to the right, and then a miserable green light appeared at the source of the sound, and the evil spirit wielding a shovel slashed towards Xia De.
Although the undead looked extremely terrifying, Shad was used to seeing similar things in Midhill Castle.
While the evil spirit raised the falling shovel, Xia De took a step forward and swung the big sword in his hand. The great sword directly passed through the spirit body of the evil spirit, but it did not directly destroy it, but made its soul color much darker.
"Um?"
This is the first time I have encountered an evil spirit that is resistant to the moonlight sword.
The evil spirit stretched out its arms and straightened its chest, the mouth of the skull face opened, and the rune light flashed across its forehead. At the same time as piercing screams appeared, the air around it had obvious shock ripples.
Xia De, who was nearby, was swept by the ripples, and felt that the recovery speed of his own spirit suddenly slowed down. It's not a permanent slowdown, but it takes at least half a minute to recover:
"No, this is not a normal undead! It is the guard here!"
This special means of dealing with ring warlocks can only be spawned by special undead rituals. After realizing this, Xia De did not intend to hold back. While the evil spirit was flying toward him with an oil lamp and a shovel like a scythe, he lifted
With his free left hand, he slashed forward with a moonlight slash.
The undead's shovel hit the silver arc of light, and then the green shovel and the silver moon slash died together, which further confirmed the speculation that the undead was set up by the ring warlock to watch the door.
Shad continued to back away, this time raising his left hand, and a rotating silver light wheel took shape in his hand. The moonlight wheel was thrown at the evil spirit who had lost his weapon, and the evil spirit immediately raised the green oil lamp in his hand.
The lamp did not provide protection, but it actually absorbed the light of the moonlight wheel. But as a price, the lamp is also because it cannot accommodate the holy moonlight.
It shattered into dots of light.
"It's now!"
Xia De still didn't choose to get close to this evil spirit who didn't know how many abilities he had~www.mtlnovel.com~ This time the thunder in his hand exploded. The silver thunder gun left a bright silver light trail in the dimly lit church, and then went straight through the evil spirit's chest, and exploded together with the evil spirit.
The thunder gun didn't form much bursting smoke, but left some jumping arcs on the ground.
After the smoke dissipated and carefully confirmed that the evil spirit had really been wiped out, Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the hole exposed under the pulpit.
The stairs are not long, and below the opening is a relatively flat square basement that is about half the size of Shade's bedroom.
Two skeletons were lying by the wall at the end of the stairs, and one of them was dressed in exactly the same clothes as the evil spirit just now. This was the tomb robber who came together.
In the small underground space, there are stone tables on two walls and cabinets on one wall. On the table are flasks, funnels, balances, beakers and a few books, while in the cabinet are various samples of biological materials. Because it is preserved with a potion such as formalin, one-third of the contents of the bottles in the cabinet are still intact, and Shade can see the soaked frogs, snakes, and tiger whips. s things.
As for the ground between the table and the cabinet, even though it has been seriously faded, it is still exquisite and complex in Xia De's eyes. He doesn't even have to touch it, he can perceive the elemental reactions remaining in these traces.
