Chapter 2570: Purification of the Goddess

After passing through a short turning road, the vision immediately became wider.

In front of him, a gradually enlarging space came into view.

After walking in, Angel found that this underground building was actually smaller than he imagined, at least smaller than the halls he saw in the underground waterway of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm.

Although the area is small, the spatial structure is hollow and multi-layered. From the lobby at the bottom, you can see that there are at least four floors above, each with rooms. Some of the room doors are still open, and you can vaguely see the vivid layout inside. Those colorful clothes are definitely not from the past. They should be the accommodation for the hero team.

Putting aside the fireworks in the upper room, looking at this underground building alone, the overall feeling is like a church in a small town.

The reason why I think so is that Angel found that there are rows of nails left on the broken marble floor. These nails are rusty on the outside, but not corroded, because the raw material for making them is dense copper, which is an extraordinary material.

This type of nail is specially used to fix long rows of seats.

Judging from the arrangement of these nails, the lobby in the past must have been lined with benches.

In addition, the obviously elevated podium in front, just by imagining, one can imagine that there must have been a preacher standing on the podium, speaking some doctrines or secret brainwashing words to the people sitting below.

This is almost exactly the same as the church Angel had seen.

It's just much smaller in scale.

But if this is really a church, how could it be built underground?

Angel thought about it and expressed his inferences and doubts.

He mainly wanted to hear the Black Earl's opinion. After all, the Black Earl had lived the longest here and must have seen countless religions. Maybe he had seen similar places.

However, the Black Earl could not give an answer.

"It does look like a gathering place for a sect, but after all, many years have passed and it is hard to say for sure. Perhaps, this is just a place for communication, just like you alchemists, don't you have similar alchemy exchanges in every extraordinary city, and they are all kept secret, for fear that others will know where they are." As the Black Earl spoke, his tone began to change, and he had a kind of sneer of disdain for the alchemy exchange. It is estimated that there should be an unknown story here.

Angel: "What Lord Black Earl said is possible, but if it is similar to an alchemy exchange, the visitors should be equal. But looking at the layout of these nails and the deliberately raised platform, it doesn't look like a normal exchange. If you insist on talking about communication, it can only be the relationship between teachers and students."

In other words, is this an underground classroom?

This inference is even more ridiculous than the underground church.

The Black Earl seemed to think that the exchange meeting was not reliable, but he did not change his words, but asked: "Which decent church would be built underground?"

"No." Angel said without hesitation: "It is even difficult for religious people to gain a foothold in the Extraordinary City."

Religion is very prosperous in ordinary people's cities, mostly because of the selfish desire of royal power and the need for spiritual comfort after ordinary people have suffered. But in places where extraordinary people live, let alone the Extraordinary City, even in the wizard market, it is difficult to see the existence of religious churches.

Because wizards who pursue the truth will only believe in themselves, the knowledge in their brains, and even the power in their hands, and will not believe in those illusory gods. If there are really religious wizards, they must be bewitched, and they do not believe in the gods made up by ordinary people, but the Abyss Demon God, the Deluna Outer God, the Wild God or the Loft Evil God.

These so-called gods, except for the evil gods of the Loft world, are all eyeing the wizard world. In order to gain greater benefits, it is common to place some bait to seduce some weak-willed wizards.

But even the believers of these gods can only do some small actions in the Extraordinary City, or set up some small organizations that the city lord turns a blind eye to. It is not possible to do anything bigger. As for those who leave the church openly, there are very few.

However, the above situation only applies to the current generation.

It is hard to say whether there will be exceptions in the era when Naraku City still exists.

"Secrecy, underground buildings, suspected churches... Then am I right, this is the gathering place of demon believers? Or the base camp of the villains in the garden maze?!" Kael's voice suddenly sounded, with excitement in his words.

Angel: "Maybe you are right, but to be sure, we need some evidence."

"But confirming the situation here can only be regarded as a secondary task. Our main task is to find out whether there is an entrance to the underground waterway." After a pause, Angel turned to look at everyone: "Search separately, mark any doubtful places, and go to see them together later."

After speaking, Angel turned to look at the Black Count: "Sir, can you temporarily unlock Wai's seal?"

Wai, who was a little depressed, heard Angel's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and looked at Angel in disbelief.

This famous super-dimensional wizard actually pleaded for him? ! Could it be that in this short journey, he saw the fragility of his heart and the restless soul that was unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to soothe his wounded heart?

Wai's eyes were shining, and his heart was rippling, but his understanding was obviously wrong. And the Black Count, even if it was just a nose, saw more clearly than him.

The Black Earl asked directly: "What do you need him for?"

Angel: "Let Wai ask the logistics of the heroic team just now, especially the old man who never rested, about what the original appearance of this place was, where they made major changes, whether there are any symbolic patterns or textures, and a series of other questions."

Although confirming whether this is the Demon God Church is not the main task, as long as the relevant information is known, it may be possible to find the entrance from some details.

The Black Earl thought for a moment and roughly understood what Angel meant.

Among the people present, Dox has spiritual perception, Angel understands magic arrays, and Kael loves to explore ruins, so the only one who can ask these trivial questions is the otaku Wai.

"I understand." The Black Earl did not say much, and directly unsealed Wai's mouth, then flew out of his arms, indicating Wai to go alone to find the group of people just now.

Wai had not woken up from his dream at this time, and gave Angel a grateful look, and then returned to the passage with a look back every three steps.

The Black Earl flew up with the stone tablet: "I'll go look around first. What have you found? Contact us with the mind lace."

After speaking, a mind lace connecting everyone was quietly constructed.

The Black Earl's goal was very clear. He flew directly to the top, as if he had discovered something.

Angel looked at Dox: "We go together?"

Dox was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

Angel: "This place is not very big, and it is enough to divide into three groups. Moreover, your inspiration is very strong. Maybe there are clues on the way. If you don't notice, there is me."

Dox: "...The second sentence is the real reason."

Dox was too lazy to say that his inspiration had not jumped out yet.

However, since Angel took the initiative to say that he wanted to follow him, it would be fine to go together. It happened that he could brush up his favorability while studying why there would be deviations as long as the inspiration involved Angel.

"Then let's look for it in this lobby first." Dox said, and walked towards the direction of the leading platform.

Angel didn't follow immediately, because the lobby was not big, so he looked around first to see if there were any signs of supernatural power.

Angel walked to the side, stretched out his hand to touch the somewhat broken but still cold wall, slowly closed his eyes, and began to radiate his mental power.

In less than a few seconds, Angel retracted his outward mental power.

"It's painful, right? I tried it when I got here just now. The mental power here can't be transmitted at all. If you force it to pass through, it will only backfire." Dox, who was standing on the podium, looked at Angel with a gloating look.

Angel said calmly: "Since you tried it as soon as you came, you didn't find anything?"

Dox said "Ah", confused: "I, do I need to find anything?"

Angel said lightly: "I expected the result after the mental power probe, I was just testing the penetration of mental power. From the current mental power feedback, there should be a very large magic array around here, but it is worth mentioning that although this magic array is very large, it may even be larger than we can imagine, it does not include this place."

"That is to say, this underground building is built next to the magic array. Moreover, the location is extremely close to the magic array, otherwise it is impossible for all the walls facing it except the exit to produce the same mental feedback."

Dox frowned slightly: "I know there is a magic array outside, but what does this mean?"

Angel: "It means that this place is not far from the deep layer of the underground waterway, that is, the real maze."

The underground waterway of Naraku City even has residential houses on the surface, and there are few extraordinary facilities, so there will be collapse. But it's different in the depths, where there is even a magic array in operation. The magic array can be felt underground, which means that there is a real underground maze next to it.

Dox also understood what Angel meant at this time: "This building is built right next to the real underground maze, and it is surrounded by many sides. It is so close that it is definitely not unintentional."

Since it is not unintentional, it must be deliberate. Why did the original builder deliberately build it next to the underground maze? Is there any conspiracy? Will he prepare to sneak into the underground maze from here?

"It seems that this time we chose to explore here first, which may really be right." Dox murmured in a low voice: "This place should not be as calm as it seems on the surface. There must be secrets."

While Dox was muttering, Angel also said silently in his heart: It's not that we chose the right thing, but that you chose the right thing.

This is once again proved that it is a very wise choice to bring Dox to open the way.

After confirming that there may be secrets hidden here, Angel did not idle and began to continue looking for suspicious points in the lobby.

There are a lot of things of the hero team in the lobby, most of which are daily necessities, and some weapons. Generally speaking, they were all worthless items.

Angel did not touch their supplies, but used his mental power to observe the ground and walls through these ordinary objects, looking for any extraordinary traces or hidden patterns.

However, perhaps because time had passed too long, all the extraordinary traces had disappeared. Only the fireworks left by the heroic team were left here.

As for the hidden patterns... there were none. However, it was discovered that the floor and walls were also mixed with extraordinary materials of the same level as dense copper, which was why this building had not been completely erased by time.

To be honest, Angel sighed slightly when he looked at the smoky traces left by the hero team on the ground and the scratches from the swords on the wall. Although these extraordinary materials are not valuable in his opinion, they are much more valuable than the pile of scrap copper and iron on the ground. If you take out a few bricks and give them to some alchemy shops, even if the magic crystals cannot be exchanged, you will still have gold coins. .

And isn’t what the people in the hero team want just money?

However, we can't blame them for being blind, after all, the world of extraordinary people is too far away from them. Moreover, even if they took out a few floor tiles, they probably wouldn't be able to find an alchemy shop where they could sell them.

Angel shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After searching around the lobby again, but still with no results, Angel raised his head and saw that Doakes was still on the podium. He murmured in his heart, did Doakes find something?

Just when Angel was going to take a look at the podium, a stone slab flew down from the sky.

"Lord Black Earl, have you noticed anything?" Angel stopped and asked.

Earl Black: "I found a gadget, but it's of no use and I didn't take it. But it's worth some magic crystals. If you are interested, you can go get it."

After some conversation, it turned out that the reason why Earl Black went straight to the top of the building just now was because he noticed the smoke wafting from the rooms on the second and third floors, and all of them ran towards the top.

The Black Earl has only his nose left, so his sense of smell is naturally unparalleled. He immediately smelled something was wrong. There were traces of bonfires in the lobby and smoke from cooking food in the accommodation. However, the air in the entire building was quite clean and thorough. The Black Earl wondered at that time whether there would be a smoke exhaust pipe, and whether this pipe would be connected to the depths of the underground maze.

In the end, it turned out that the Black Earl was overthinking.

At the top of the building, he found a card embedded in a sculpture.

Cards can remain incorruptible for many years, so they are certainly extraordinary.

That's an inscription card.

The inscription engraved on the card shows a graceful lady wearing tulle, pouring gurgling water from a water bottle.

The card face of this inscription card is quite classic, meaning "Purification of the Goddess", which can purify the dirt in the air.

However, purification cannot operate unilaterally. After the dirt is collected, it will slowly turn into substance and form a sculpture on the outside. The appearance of the sculpture is exactly the same as the goddess.

The larger the sculpture is, the more dirt it absorbs. In the end, the sculpture will completely wrap the card. At this point, the effect of the purification card begins to decrease. The thicker the package, the weaker the effect.

Time flies, so many years have passed, the purification card has been completely wrapped by the sculpture, and the effect has become extremely low, and ordinary fireworks vapor can be inhaled.

However, if you dispose of the sculpture outside, take out the purification card again, and find someone who understands inscriptions to repair it, it can be restored to like new. Therefore, in the eyes of the Black Earl, it was worth some money, but he didn't bother to take it.

Angel was not prepared to ask for it. Inscriptions were scarce in the Southern Territory due to the suppression of extreme sects, but they were not scarce in other wizarding worlds. He can go to other wizarding worlds via Yuantan Continent, so he doesn't care about a low-value inscription card.

Doakes doesn't want it either. The blood side has the most powerful purification technique. Why does he want this? And if you want to sell it, you have to find someone who understands inscriptions. It doesn’t know if there are people who understand inscriptions. Even if it is really repaired, it can’t be sold openly. After all, he is just a wandering wizard. He doesn’t dare to follow the extreme sect without a backer. Go against it.

As for the other two, Kael had already gone upstairs, and Vai hadn't come back yet. They didn't communicate with each other through the psychic tether, so they didn't know about it at all.

That’s all about purifying the card.

"What about your side, have you found anything?" asked the Black Earl.

Angel shook his head: "The power of time cannot leave a trace of the extraordinary."

Black Earl: "What about him?"

The "him" mentioned by the Black Count naturally refers to Doakes.

Angel: "I don't know. He has been standing there for a long time. He doesn't know what he is doing. Maybe he has discovered something, but he hasn't realized it yet. Since the adults are here, we might as well go over and take a look."

Naturally, the Black Earl would not refuse. Facts have proved that Doakes' inspirational talent is very powerful. They have reached this point, and without Doakes' guidance, they might still be lost outside.

Of course, Doakes himself didn't know how important his role was.

When he realizes it, that may be when his talent appears.
