Release that Witch - Chapter 1074
[Chapter 1052 Protective Measures]
“Oh, it’s interesting…” Rosser whispered.
“What did you say?” Sean looked at her, “What’s so interesting?”
“It’s okay to tell you, mortals.” Roser opened his thick lips, “Underground civilizations have left relics all over the continent, and Taquila has naturally studied them, and these symbols…” She walked to the mottled In front of the pillar, shake off the dust on it, “It’s not the characters they use, and it has nothing to do with the magic characters formulated by the Federation. Isn’t this interesting enough to think of the history of the Four Kingdoms?”
Azima found that she couldn’t understand at all. Although the meaning of each word was clear, they just didn’t know what they were talking about together.
What comforted her a little was that Mar, who came from a noble family, and Naf, the local guide, had the same confusion, not much better than her.
Sean showed a thoughtful expression.
“I’ve heard His Majesty say that before the Four Great Kingdoms there were only scattered villages and small towns, which were regarded as the corners of the mainland. The so-called history means no history. If this relic was not left by the civilization in the battle of divine will , then it means—”
He was stunned when he said this.
“In the past, there were alien races that we don’t know?”
“I can’t draw conclusions on this yet,” Roser said with great interest. “Whether the underground civilization will divide into tribes and create different languages is unknown. Only by going in and taking a look can we get more information.” message.”
“Lord Xiao En, there seems to be a stone tablet here,” the soldier who was inspecting the stone gate suddenly shouted, “It seems to have our words written on it.”
A group of people immediately surrounded them.
I saw a piece of granite lying across the weeds, covered with moss, and only one side had been polished. It would be difficult to find its existence without searching carefully.
It took the soldiers a while to clean it up, and the engraved handwriting was also displayed in front of everyone.
“The land cursed by the gods, do not enter, you will die.”
After seeing the warning above, Nave couldn’t help but take a breath.
“Could it be… the legendary temple of curse?” He took two steps back and stammered.
Sean and the Witch of God’s Punishment exchanged glances, “Do you know its origin?”
“I just heard others say that it was more than a hundred years ago…” Naf stared at the dark hole and swallowed, “Didn’t the local lords send the wolf-hearted people to cross the cage mountain? Did people set up many traps? According to legend, a team led by knights encountered mountain rain during a mission. where it rained, and found a strange temple by chance.”
“Oh?” Roser raised his eyebrows. “Did they find treasures inside after they went in, and the villagers were driven by greed to smuggle out the treasures, but they were cursed by the gods and died tragically one by one?”
“You, you’ve heard of it too?” Naf asked in surprise.
“Pfft,” Roser laughed loudly, “mortals really haven’t made much progress. They played this game hundreds of years ago, and it still works now. I bet the lord made up this rumor—for Swallowing the windfall in the ruins all by itself. As for those poor people, they were just treated as evidence of a curse, and they were killed one by one.”
“But…they didn’t die immediately.”
“What?” Rosser frowned.
The guide shrank his neck and replied cautiously, “It took almost ten years for them to die one after another, and that knight was no exception—it is said that they were in excruciating pain when they left, and even the skin on their faces fell off. It came down, revealing pieces of rotten flesh and blood. It looked hideous, and this is also the source of the curse. In order to prevent the spread of bad luck in the territory, the lord ordered that no one approach that area, so now no one knows its specifics location.”
“Are you sure?” Rosser walked up to Naf and put his arm on his shoulder.
Looking at the arm that was thicker than his thigh, the guide’s face turned pale, “I heard it from the tavern, I promise I’m not lying! My lord, if you don’t believe me, you can ask other people, if you have any questions , that must be a mistake in the rumor itself!”
If it took so long to die, then the theory of silence would be untenable, Azima thought, and if it is common for knights and lords to conspire to frame villagers, it would be another matter to kill the knights together—— The latter is an aristocrat, no matter how young his family background is, he cannot be executed at will without a trial.
Could it be… is this really a curse from the gods?
“Uh, how about…let’s go back to the town first, and wait until we hear more information before taking the next step?” Liaison envoy Mal Tokat suggested.
“The next move?” Nave looked at Sean in disbelief, “Could it be that you came here for the Temple of the Curse in the first place?”
“That’s not true, but it just happened to be together,” Roser let go of Neff, “How about it? I think as His Majesty’s trusted guard, you will definitely not run away?”
“Of course,” Xiao En replied calmly, “Fulfilling His Majesty’s entrustment is the first priority. Now that the goal is in front of us, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com naturally has no reason to turn back.”
“Very well, then let’s go in and have a meeting with the so-called “gods” for a while,” Roser revealed a wicked smile.
“But you can’t just go in unsuspecting like this,” Xiao En shook his head, “In fact, His Majesty also mentioned that you may encounter danger when you approach the source.”
“He even foresees this?”
“That’s right,” Sean turned his head and said to Azima, “After you left that night, His Majesty explained some things to me alone. He said that we may encounter two situations, one is that the source is exposed on the surface, In that case, we don’t have to do anything, just return to Neverwinter after sealing off the scene. The other is that the source is located in an underground mine—the deeper the cave, the greater the probability of danger. Therefore, if you encounter the second In this case, it is necessary to take precautions in advance. Although this is not a mine, it meets all the characteristics of a mine.”
After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers at the soldier, “Bring the things here.”
The two quickly unloaded their bags and found five snow-white coats.
Rosser squatted down, opened it curiously, and looked through it, “It’s just an ordinary leather jacket.”
“It wouldn’t work if it was paired with a mask.” Sean picked up a piece of clothing and put himself in it—Azima found that this was the only word to describe it. The top and bottom of the leather clothing were connected as one, without even a single button.
It’s not so much clothes, it’s better to say it’s a pocket cut into a human shape. After it’s put on, only one face is exposed, and the hands and feet are wrapped in it. It looks very weird.
Then he put on a transparent mask to fill the last gap, and a fist-sized iron can was fixed on the front of the mask, which looked like a pig’s nose.
“Five people go in, and the others stay outside,” Sean said in a low voice, “Apart from Miss Azima and Ms. Rosser, is there any one of you who wants to come?”
