Chapter 243: Petrified Camp

Morrigan grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it.

"The soil here is actually so fertile, which is rare outside..."

Even the eyes are full of green. For Morrigan, who has been living in the City of Divine Blessing, this is something that can only exist freely in the words of the ancestors.

The outside world is desolate, monsters are rampant, and the land is barren. Human beings can only barely survive in broken city-states. That is why the last pure land of mankind [Laputa] is so precious. Only nobles can go there. Qualifications.

"There seem to be some buildings over there."

Allen pointed to a jungle in the distance. There seemed to be something hidden in the shadows of the trees.

Mr. Azashes pondered for a while, then suddenly walked back to the exit of the cave, and furiously pounded on the edge of the cave entrance with his fists.

It wasn't until the cave exit completely collapsed that he clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and take a look at the front."

"Master, I'm going to explore the way." Morrigan said quickly at this time: "I've almost recovered, there should be no problem."

"Be careful." Mr. Asaches nodded.

Seeing the maid turn into a shadow and sneaking away in an instant, Allen couldn't help but marveled, "Your Majesty, this Miss Morrigan, it seems that she has not appeared in the castle before?"

"Isn't it time to show up now." Azaches responded calmly, then looked at Clary and ordered: "No matter what, don't leave my sight later, you understand."

"Okay...ok." Clary nodded.

But he hesitated to speak.

She actually wanted to ask Boss Azashes about Morrigan's origins.

But at this time, the owner of the dungeon, Allen, was nearby. Boss Asachus seemed to be avoiding Allen's existence, so Clary could only give up temporarily.

They waited for a moment and prepared to catch up with Morrigan, but then a black shadow sneaked back.

Morrigan, who had just explored the road, appeared again, with a solemn expression: "Master, there is something ahead..."

…

Lifelike human-shaped stone statues appeared chaotically in a settlement in the jungle.

Weeds have covered almost half of this settlement, and most of the wooden houses have rotted... Several people walked among the statues, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.

"This place seems to have been built by the [Divine Blessing Holy See]...the clothes on these stone statues seem to be the old-fashioned equipment of the [Divine Blessing Holy See] warriors."

"Yes, this is the old-fashioned equipment of the Holy See." Mr. Asaches took a deep breath: "These statues are not carved by the people living here, but... people who used to be the Holy See!"

The sculptures depict warriors... a group of warriors who seemed to have encountered something terrible and escaped in a hurry!

Each of the statues is facing the incoming person, running away, showing fear, and many of them are even looking back.

"These are not statues, they are people! They are alive, but they touched something and turned into stone statues."

Asaxes' sudden conclusion shocked everyone, and a creepy feeling spread quietly... There seemed to be something terrible in this rich land, which instantly broke the beauty of the moment.

quiet!

So quiet!

There was no sound at all... In such a fertile land, not even a small animal or insect was seen!

…

The settlement they discovered was actually more like a sentry post previously deployed by the Divine Blessing Church. As they continued to deepen, no fewer than ten similar settlements were discovered.

Similar statues are basically found in settlements.

And then... still, quiet.

"Hey, this gathering place seems a little different."

It is almost the end of the jungle, but the gathering place found here is far larger than the previous ones. There are not only buildings, but also some old-fashioned vehicles from the [Divine Blessing Church].

At this time, Moriah came to a car with a large boiler. He suddenly opened the front cover of the car and took a look at it. "Master, this car...may still be usable."

Azashe's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked around, "Let's search inside these buildings, maybe we can find coal for burning. Morrigan, see if you can repair the car."

"learn."

Clary was surprised at this time and said: "Miss Morrigan, you...can repair these things?"

Morrigan said calmly: "The master's library has collected a lot of knowledge. I will take some to read when I am bored... There are also some old equipment of the Holy See stored in the castle, and I have studied them a little. Miss Clary, you want Come and help?”

"I... better go find something." Clary shook her head subconsciously.

Everyone started to act separately...most of half an hour passed while they were busy working.

When Mr. Azashes came back, Allen and Clary had already come back first and seemed to have gained something. Morrigan was working hard on the car to repair it.

"What did you find?" Mr. Allen asked directly when he came up.

Mr. Azashes actually held a book in his hand at this time, and he could only be heard saying slowly: "I'm lucky, I found a diary."

"About this place?" Allen's eyes lit up.

Asaches handed the diary to Allen casually, and he quickly read through it.

Asaches continued: "Our previous guess was good. Everything here was indeed arranged by the Holy See...no, the previous Pope Cicero. Every gathering place is actually a transit point for transporting supplies. [God It seems that there is a research base behind the mountain, and materials are transported there."

Allen had already turned the diary halfway through. "According to what was mentioned in the diary, the owner of the diary did not know what the research was at the research base... He was unable to get to the edge of the research, and the further he went towards the base, The tighter the guard, the higher the authority required. But there is something else written here..."

"What did you write?" Morrigan frowned.

Allen pondered: "Earthquake... The diary mentioned earthquakes, and the last part said, [There have been more and more earthquakes recently]... [Another earthquake, many roads have been destroyed, We have temporarily lost communication with the research institute]... [No news was received today]... [Someone is missing]..."

"Missing?" Clary also frowned, "Have you found it?"

Allen shook his head: "I haven't written anything since... maybe I haven't had time to write it yet."

He turned the diary to the last page and held it up in front of everyone. On the paper, he just wrote a word that had not yet been written, and then it stopped abruptly.

"The owner of the diary, something happened." Morrigan said solemnly: "Perhaps it is related to this disaster."

She looked at the stone statues around her that were hurriedly escaping, and her meaning was already obvious.

Mr. Asaches also said at this time: "Outside the house where this diary was found, there was a statue lying on the ground. It may be the owner of this diary."

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

Mr. Azashes breathed out slowly and broke the silence at this moment, "Morrigan, can the car be repaired?"

"It should be fine, just give me a little more time."

"I'll look around to see if there are any other clues. You two, rest here for the time being." Mr. Asaches said seriously: "Morrigan, protect Clary while I'm away."

…

…

boom! !

The stone exploded, and the sealed cave exit was opened instantly. Several Holy See soldiers holding weapons rushed out instantly. They guarded the cave exit while looking around.

"The target environment is safe!"

Isabel walked out of the cave at this time... Her face looked a little tired, and the light armor on her body also had some burnt marks.

The young knight Naraku inspected the entrance of the cave and said, "Lord Isabel, these stones should be newly dropped."

"Don't think about it, that guy is the only one who can do these pranks." Isabel shook her head: "Azaches, he has always liked to make things difficult for others...Huh, he is really stubborn."

Always?

Naraku heard a hint of complex taste in the woman's mouth, but he did not ask deeply, but looked at the new world in front of him, with a look of alarm on his face, "Ms. Isabel, this place?"

"The place of origin." Isabel stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "There is the real treasure of [God's Blessing Church] there... Let's go, we will see it soon!"

"Attention everyone, check all the equipment on your body, and set off immediately!" Naraku immediately gave the order to everyone.

…

"stop!"

The warrior wearing black armor suddenly raised his palm.

Several soldiers in black armor walked out of the passage at this time, and then returned, "Reporting that there are traces of fierce battles ahead, as well as six burned corpses... There is also a suspension bridge, but it has been broken."

The leading black armored warrior looked at the old man in the wheelchair.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, "It should be the fire element. Isabel's body was not found, which means they have successfully entered... Cain, repair the suspension bridge. The fire element should be defeated. Naraku is capable of doing it." Arrived."

The leader of the black armored warriors...the man named Cain nodded silently at this time.

The old man in the wheelchair looked at the huge coffin behind him, which contained the things he had brought out from the secret room of the library.

"Finally, back to this place again."

…

…

"Really... do you want to go down?"

At the edge of the deep pit in the hall, Metanzo withdrew his probing gaze and showed hesitation. Here, more than a dozen corpses of soldiers from the Divine Blessing Church had fallen.

Griffith killed him in a few breaths.

But there are still a large number of Holy See soldiers in the castle. I believe that things here will soon be exposed. Griffith obviously has no intention of fighting head-on with the Holy See troops.

"Earl Rose is below, and the mastermind of the Holy See's operation should also go down." Griffith said calmly: "If Earl Rose is killed or captured by the Holy See, your keys may never be found again. "

[Yulia] looked at each other at this time.

Medanzo: Good guy, did you fool this guy into lameness?

[Yuliya]: I work very hard to kill you?

Metanzo: Are you really going down?

[Yuliya]: Otherwise? All the male protagonists were taken down?

Griffith suddenly joined the group chat: What are you discussing?

Metanzo and [Yulia] were immediately shocked.

[Yulia] said calmly: "I think it would be better to take the key to Nosta first than the key to Asaches... Griffith, how about you go first?" Take me to my adoptive father Nosta!"

"No need." Griffith shook his head, but he picked up [Yulia] and Metanzo one by one with each hand, as if grabbing chickens, and jumped directly into the pit.

Nosta is dead!

He killed it!

…

…

In the camp.

Clary sat silently next to the car repair station, and Morrigan basically didn't even look at her.

At this time, Mr. Allen came over, holding two kettles in his hands.

"There is a water source behind the camp. The water should be ok." Allen sent a kettle to Clary: "As for food, I haven't found it yet."

However, Clary felt hungry and thirsty. She silently took the kettle, but did not drink it immediately.

Mr. Allen sat down: "Don't worry, it won't be poisonous. In this environment, if I hurt you, I will undoubtedly be asking for trouble... Your Majesty, the Earl, values ​​you very much, doesn't he?"

Clary looked at Ellen expressionlessly.

Mr. Allen said: "It doesn't matter if you resent me. After all, I did take advantage of you before. But I am just trying to survive. If we didn't find a way to alert Earl Rose, we would have died at the hands of Nosta. "

Clary was silent.

However, at this moment, Morrigan suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"What's wrong?" Clary asked subconsciously.

"Shh." Morrigan whispered at this moment: "Something is approaching."

"The count is back?" Allen asked hesitantly.

"Something else." Morrigan said quickly.

Mr. Allen quickly got up and took out an exquisite dagger from his waist... Morrigan's eyes were moving around the camp at this time.

I saw a dark shadow in the jungle, flashing away quickly!

The three of them stared at each other and quickly leaned against each other... In the silence, the sound of flying in the jungle became more and more obvious. At this moment, Morrigan pushed Clary away in an instant!

A black shadow, at the same time, flew out directly!

Bang! !

A pit was smashed out of the camp in an instant, and the three of them scattered out and rolled out. When they could clearly see what they had saved, Clary couldn't help but gasped.

It is about two meters tall and at least five meters long... It looks like a wolf, but it has half of its body, completely skeletal, and four scarlet eyes.

"Monsters?" Mr. Allen couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are actually monsters here!"

Monster?

No!

At this moment, Clary wanted to exclaim that the monster in front of her felt like the [Messenger] she faced when she was a pilot in the previous world!

On the chest of the demon wolf-like monster, there is a... round hole the size of a fist!
