Chapter 193 Relics

Half an hour later, the team arrived deep in the underground ruins.

Ahead was the ruins of Essos. The once ancient and glorious kingdom was now only a piece of broken walls. Among the many ruins, there were low stone houses for civilians and two-story stone buildings representing the town hall.

The Kingdom of Essos worshipped black, so most of the buildings in the ruins were black as the main color, and some large buildings had giant spider reliefs carved on the walls.

According to legend, the goddess of night was a giant spider.

She was born on the land of the Kingdom of Essos, and ignited the divine fire under the faith of countless subjects, thus becoming the guardian of Essos, and thus transformed into a half-human, half-spider god form.

"Is this the ruins of the Kingdom of Essos?"

Rafi looked around and came to a collapsed wall, stroking the spider relief on it with his hand. The relief, which had been precipitated over the years, was already a little worn and mottled. As soon as it was touched, it turned into small pieces of gravel and fell down.

"There is blood there." Eve suddenly whispered.

Following the direction of her finger, Isaac saw some brown bloodstains on a rock. Although it had dried up, judging from the extent, it should not have been left for more than a week.

"It seems that the fallen one is indeed hiding nearby."

Isaac stroked the dried bloodstains with his hand, a slight smile appeared on his face, and then he stood up and followed the remaining bloodstains around him, leading everyone to the deeper part of the ruins.

Not long after, following the bloodstains, the team came to the outside of a temple.

This is already the center of this ruins city. Compared with the buildings on the periphery, the temple in front of us is more complete. Although the exterior looks a bit old due to the erosion of time, it can still vaguely feel a sense of grandeur and solemnity.

"It is said that in the First Age, all ancient humans believed in gods."

Isaac looked at the temple in front of him and sighed, "In order to win the favor of the gods, even if they were poorly clothed and hungry, they would still build temples and offer the best to the gods."

"It's ridiculous that they don't pursue their own power, but instead beg for mercy from others!" Rafi curled his lips in disdain.

Times have changed, and the years that belonged to the gods have long gone. With the concepts of the wizard world today, it is difficult to understand the ideas of ancient humans. In the eyes of wizards, the pursuit of truth and one's own power is the eternal truth. As for the ancient humans' belief in gods, praying for the mercy of gods by means of priests and other means is undoubtedly a stupid behavior.

"Let's go in." Caroline shook her head and was about to step into the temple.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Enzo suddenly stopped her, looking at the ground in front of the temple, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, there is a rune trap set there."

Caroline was startled and quickly stepped back.

"I'll take care of it." Isaac took a step forward, raised his arm slightly, condensed a ball of lightning in his palm, and then waved it towards the ground. As a ball of lightning exploded, the rune trap was also triggered.

"It's okay now, let's go."

After solving the rune trap, the team walked towards the temple. This magnificent building has hundreds of steps, all carved from giant rocks.

It's hard to imagine how much it would cost for the ancients to build such a temple.

Several people walked through hundreds of stone steps and came to the entrance of the temple. Two bronze-cast metal doors were open. They walked in and found that the inside of the temple was pitch black. Eve clapped her palms lightly, and then lit up a ball of light.

The scene inside the temple came into view.

First, there was a huge statue, with the upper body of a goddess and the lower body of a spider. After countless years of baptism, the statue of the goddess of night in the temple had already cracked, as if it would break if it was hit hard.

In addition to the huge statue in the center, there are four columns supporting the top of the temple.

In addition to these, there are only mottled walls around, with various reliefs carved on them, including some Essos characters, which seem to praise the glory of the goddess of night to the world.

"Come out, don't hide anymore." Isaac looked around and suddenly spoke.

Although the temple was silent, the rune traps outside and the faint smell of blood around proved that there was indeed a wounded fallen hidden here.

After a while, there was still a dead silence around.

"Humph!" Isaac snorted coldly, and suddenly swung his hands, and strong magic fluctuations spread from his body, spreading to every corner of the temple in an instant.

"Cough cough!" With a painful cough, a figure appeared next to a stone pillar.

It was a female apprentice, wearing a gray robe, her face looked very pale due to excessive blood loss. She leaned against the stone pillar with a weak breath. There was a hideous wound on her left leg, which looked worse and exuded a bloody smell.

The last disguise was torn, and the female apprentice Pamela fell into despair.

"Another third-level apprentice, it seems that we are really lucky!" Caroline smiled, but a cold murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she slowly walked towards Pamela.

The magic power turned into a lightning blade, and Caroline raised her palm.

"No! Wait a minute!" Seeing Caroline coming towards her, Pamela's eyes were filled with unconcealable fear, and she screamed hysterically, "Don't kill me! I am willing to exchange my life for a secret!"

"Secret? I'm not interested!" Caroline was unmoved and slashed with a lightning blade.

"Wait a minute, Caroline." At this time, Enzo suddenly spoke.

Caroline's movements stopped in vain, the lightning blade in her hand was fixed on Pamela's neck, and if it moved forward an inch, it would cut her throat. She looked at Enzo in surprise, and then dispersed her magic.

On the opposite side, Pamela, who had survived the disaster, looked like she had been fished out of the water. Her clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat. Her eyes were motionless, and her pupils were almost shrunken to the extreme.

"Let's hear what her secret is first." Enzo said in a low voice.

According to the scan of the chip just now, the female apprentice did not lie. She did hide a secret. Although it was not clear what it was about, Enzo still wanted to find out.

"If I tell the secret, will you let me go?" Pamela swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly.

Pah!

After a hard slap, Caroline said with a smile, "I'm sorry, you don't have the right to bargain with us. If you don't want to tell me, I can kill you now."

"I know." After being slapped, Pamela lowered her head to hide the humiliation on her face.

"The secret I want to tell you is related to the leader of Nightfall City, the fraudster Lord Justin." Pamela took a deep breath, organized her words in her mind, and said, "It is rumored that he died at the hands of the wizard of Thunder City. I suspect this news is false!"

Please give me some recommendation votes, or monthly votes would be even better, thank you very much!
