Chapter 464 Rewards Across Time and Space
Lynch didn't like this ending, but maybe this is life, it's so real and helpless.
Officer Natalie's original reminder was indeed based on experience. You really shouldn't be emotionally attached to the people in your memories.
When he heard the ending of the story, even though he had been mentally prepared, there was still an inexplicable sourness in his heart. Even his nose felt sour. He raised his head hard to suppress the weakness that was about to be revealed.
Sighing deeply and trying to expel the sourness in his chest, Lin Qi looked at the mural on the wall with great emotion. Just like many years later, when I heard the news of the death of an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, I felt regretful, reluctant to leave, but helpless. All that was left was endless sadness.
The countess beside her had red eyes, and the police officer also looked gloomy. The memories of what she had just experienced were still in front of her eyes. Unfortunately... maybe this is life.
There was an oppressive silence in the cave. Nikolai looked at the three listeners strangely, but did not disturb their remembrance. After a long time, the three were freed from their sorrow. Lynch let out a long sigh and whispered:
"Unexpectedly, she was the one who told the tribe to catch up and fight against Mordiggian, and she also specifically told him not to let him wake up. Is this so that we can find their tribe? But...how could this happen?"
The countess sniffed and whispered: "Perhaps under the dual effects of the distortion of the dreamland and the time power of the billions of radiant lords, the fragments of memories were passed back to the past, and were received by her who was on the verge of... In order to complete herself, she She only left that entrustment with her promise. At that time, she still remembered her promise to us. "
"It seems that's the case." Lin Qi's heart moved, looking at Elder Nicklay with a strange expression, and asked thoughtfully, "In addition to her last words, she should have left something else."
"How could you..." The old ghoul's terrifying face was full of human shock and disbelief. He pointed rudely at Lin Qi and was stunned for a long time. Then his expression gradually loosened, and his voice was full of surprise, "It turns out So, I understand, I understand, awesome friend, hey, that’s it, wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
Talking to himself a bit eccentricly, the old ghoul turned around and left in a hurry, leaving the three of them standing there with surprised expressions on their faces. They could only pass the time by looking at the murals. The murals were messy and complicated, and very difficult to understand. , Fortunately, Lynch's archeology has not been completely returned to the professor. There is still a little bit of knowledge such as totem analysis, and he can barely analyze a little content.
Basically, it is the historical events of this tribe, how to compete with the aboriginal people of Middle-earth, how to gain a foothold in this mountainous area, how to ensure Mordiggian's sleep through sacrifice, how to meet the ancestors of the Valente family, The two parties formed a strategic partnership. Especially the last two stick figures with the blaster Mordiggian. Even though their hearts were still sad, the three of them still couldn't help laughing.
It's so ugly.
However, seeing his own image appear on the murals of other tribes, Lin Qi felt a subtle feeling that the risk was worth it.
Nikolai rode on horseback for more than ten minutes before taking a few people to another cave, which was at least the size of two basketball courts. It was filled with all kinds of ancient items. It looked like a warehouse at first glance.
But as soon as they entered, the three of them were shocked. The warehouse was in a mess, like a parking lot destroyed by a tornado. The most appropriate description Lynch could think of was that everything was not where it should be. And several strange ghouls were squatting on the side, huffing and puffing, sticking out their tongues and breathing heavily, as if they had just fought with Mordiggian for thirty minutes.
The only good thing was that the three of them saw a familiar stone box on the stone in the corner of the warehouse.
In fact, I'm not very familiar with it. What I saw back then was a stone box with strange patterns carved on the surface, which looked simple and heavy, full of mystery and solemnity. Instead of the stone box now covered with old mud, as if it had just come from an ancient tomb. Planed stepping stones.
Elder Nikolai explained: "I saw it once when I was the successor of the high priest. It was a bit difficult to find, but I finally found it. This was the last thing passed down by the ancestor. She said that maybe someone would take it for us in the future. Be sure to keep it well."
Well, the eyes of the three people all became weird. They looked at the messy environment, the messy stone box, and then looked at Elder Nikolai, their eyes wandering between the three.
There was actually a look of shame on the wolf's face, and it sounded like a baby crying. The old ghoul picked at his claws and said awkwardly:
"It was well managed at first, but after hundreds of years, the high priest changed several times and no one came to pick it up. The ancestors thought that no one would come again, so they gradually forgot about it. They just kept it as a commemoration. Ancestors You are the one who said I wanted to get it. Who knew you would come after two epochs? I was afraid I couldn’t find it just now, but luckily I didn’t throw it away. No, I mean it was still well preserved.”
As he said that, Elder Nikolai held the box in his hands and handed it over: "This is a relic of the ancestors. You are the last friends of the ancestors. I leave it to you for safekeeping. Please keep it."
Did you really get it?
Lin Qi took a deep breath and couldn't believe it until he took it in his hand. He wiped the loose soil on it and could still vaguely see what it looked like the day before yesterday.
"We just asked one question, and we didn't even tell you what happened, so you believed it so easily?" Lynch asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
"There are only a few people who know the story of our ancestors, and even fewer people who know the existence of this relic, and everyone can directly touch it, so the fact that you know its existence speaks volumes." Elder Nicolae stared at Lynch and Miss Diana and said, "More importantly, if it were someone else, I would definitely doubt it, but you are different. You are the ones who personally ended our thousands of years of mission. You ended the entrustment of our ancestors, and you inherited the relics of our ancestors. Isn't this very reasonable? There are no coincidences in the mysterious world. The cause and the result have their own invisible ties. Although I can't understand the connection, at least there is no need to doubt your authenticity."
The judgment of the high-level boss is different from that of ordinary people. Lynch nodded gently and said, "Then we will accept it. Do you know what is inside?"
"I haven't opened it. I haven't lived enough." The old ghoul smiled bitterly, "A high priest once opened it, and then he died and took away dozens of tribesmen. Since then, the high priests of all generations have not dared to be curious anymore."
It seems that curiosity can not only kill cats, but also dogs.
Lynch nodded, put the box back on the stone, skillfully pressed the secret button of the box, and opened the box that he finally got.
