Through a short turn, the field of vision immediately widened.
Just ahead, a gradually enlarged space came into view.
When he walked in, angel found that the underground building was actually smaller than he thought, at least smaller than those halls he saw in the underground waterway of Naro city.
Although the area is small, the spatial structure is hollow and multi-level. From the bottom lobby, you can see that there are at least four floors above. There are rooms on each floor. Some room doors are still open, and you can vaguely see the fresh layout inside. Those colorful clothes are by no means what they were in those days. They should be the accommodation of the hero team.
Putting aside the fireworks in the upper room, looking at the underground building alone, the overall feeling is like a church in a small town.
The reason why he thought so was because Angel found that there were rows of nails left on the broken marble floor. There is rust on outside of the these nails, but there is no corrosion, because raw material is dense copper, which is an extraordinary material.
This standard nail is specially used to fix the long row seats.
From the arrangement of these nails, the lobby in the past must be rows of benches.
In addition, with the obviously elevated collar platform directly in front, you can imagine that there must have been a preacher standing on the collar platform, talking to the people sitting below, perhaps doctrinal or secretly brainwashing.
This is almost as like as two peas that Angell had seen.
It's just much smaller.
However, if this is really a church, how can it be built underground?
Angel thought as he spoke out his reasoning and doubts.
He mainly wanted to hear the opinions of the black count. After all, the black count lived the longest here, and he must have seen countless religions. Maybe he had seen similar places.
However, the black count could not give an answer.
"It does look like a gathering place for sects, but after all, it has been inconclusive for many years. Perhaps this is just a place for exchange. Like your alchemists, there are similar alchemy exchange meetings in every extraordinary city, and they are mysterious, lest others know where they are." As the black count spoke, his tone began to change, and he would scoff at the exchange of alchemy. I guess there should be an unknown story in it.
Angel: "what Lord Black said is also possible. However, if it is similar to the alchemy exchange meeting, the comers should belong to the equal relationship. According to the layout of these rows of nails and the deliberately raised leading platform, it is not like a normal exchange meeting. If we insist on communication, it can only be the relationship between teachers and students."
In other words, this is an underground classroom?
This inference is more absurd than the underground church.
The black count seemed to think that the communication meeting was unreliable, but he didn't change his words, but asked, "which serious church will be built underground?"
"No." Angel said without hesitation: "even to say, it is difficult for sects to gain a foothold in the extraordinary city."
Religion flourishes in ordinary people's cities, mostly because of the selfish desire of kingship and the need for spiritual comfort after suffering. But in the place where the extraordinary live, let alone the extraordinary city, even the wizard market, it is difficult to see the existence of religious churches.
Because the wizard who pursues the truth will only believe in himself, the knowledge in his brain, and even the power in his hand, and will not believe in those illusory gods. If there are religious wizards, they must be bewitched, and they do not believe in gods made up by ordinary people, but abyss demon gods, druna outer gods, wild gods or loft evil gods.
These so-called gods, in addition to the evil gods in loft world, are eyeing the wizard world. In order to obtain greater benefits, it is common to put some bait to bewitch some unflinching wizards.
But even the believers of these gods can at most make some small moves in the extraordinary city, or make some small organizations that let the city master turn a blind eye. No matter how big they are. As for those who leave the church with dignity, there are very few.
However, the above situation only applies to the current generation.
It's hard to say whether there will be exceptions in the era when nailuo city still exists.
"Secret, underground buildings, suspected churches... Am I right? Is this the gathering place of demon believers? Or the base camp of villains in the garden maze?!" Kael's voice suddenly sounded with excitement in his words.
Angel: "maybe you're right, but if you want to be sure, you need some evidence."
"However, confirming the situation here can only be regarded as a secondary task. We mainly need to find out whether there is an entrance to the underground waterway." After a pause, angel turned to look at the crowd: "look separately. As long as you have doubts, mark them first. We'll see them together later."
At the end of his words, angel turned and looked at the count of Black: "Sir, can you untie VAI's seal for a while?"
Originally, some wilted Wai heard angel's words, his eyes suddenly brightened, and some looked at angel in disbelief.
The famous super dimension wizard pleaded for him?! In this short journey, did he see his inner fragility and restless soul unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to comfort his wounded heart?
Wai's eyes were shining and his heart was rippling, but his understanding was obviously out of line. And the black count, even if it's just a nose, can see through better than him.
The black count said directly, "what do you need him to do?"
Angel: "let VAI ask the logistics of the hero team just now, especially the old man, about what the original appearance here is, what major changes they have made, and whether there are symbolic patterns or textures."
Although it is not the main task to confirm whether this is the demon God church, as long as you know the relevant information, you may find the entrance from some details.
The black count thought for a moment and probably understood what Angel meant.
Among those present, DOX has spiritual perception, angel knows the magic power array, and Kael loves relic exploration, so it's the otaku Wai who can ask these trivial questions.
"I see." The black count didn't say much. He directly untied the seal on VAI's mouth, then flew out of his arms and motioned VAI to find the group alone.
Wai didn't wake up from his dream, thanked angel with grateful eyes, and then returned to the channel step by step.
The black count controls the slate to fly: "I'll go around first. What do you find, spiritual connection."
After the words, a tie connecting the hearts of people came out quietly.
The black count's goal is very clear. He flies directly to the top. It seems that he has found something.
Angel looked at DOX: "are we together?"
Dox was stunned. "Why?"
Angel: "it's not very big here. It's enough to divide the troops into three routes. Besides, you have strong inspiration. Maybe there are clues on the way. If you don't notice, there's me."
Dox: "... The second sentence is the real reason."
Dox is too lazy to say that his inspiration has not jumped out so far.
However, since Angela took the initiative to follow him, it doesn't matter. It's just that he can brush his favor and study why there will be deviations as long as the inspiration involves Angela.
"Let's look in the lobby first." Dox said, and went in the direction of the podium.
Angel didn't follow immediately because the lobby was not big. First look around to see if there were any extraordinary traces.
Angel walked aside, reached out and touched the broken but still cold wall, slowly closed his eyes, and his mental power began to spread.
Within a few seconds, angel took back his mental power.
"Have you suffered? I tried it when I came here just now. The mental power here can't penetrate at all. If you force it, it will only bite back." Dox, standing on the podium, looked at angel with gloating eyes.
Angel said calmly, "since you tried when you came, didn't you find it at all?"
Dox said "ah" and looked confused: "I, do I need to find anything?"
Angel said faintly: "I have expected the results after the spiritual power is detected. I'm just testing the penetration degree of the spiritual power. From the current spiritual power feedback, there should be a quite large magic power array around here, but it is worth mentioning that although the magic power array is quite large, maybe even larger than our imagination, it doesn't cover here."
"It means that this underground building is built next to the magic energy array. Moreover, it is very close to the magic energy array. Otherwise, it is impossible for other facing walls to produce the same spiritual force feedback except the exit."
Dox frowned: "I know there's a magic array outside, but what does that mean?"
Angel: "it means that it is not far from the deep layer of the underground waterway, that is, the real maze."
There are even folk houses on the surface of the underground waterways in nailuo city. There are few extraordinary facilities, so there will be collapse. But the depths are different. There are even magic energy arrays in operation. You can feel the underground magic energy array here, which means that there is a real underground maze next to it.
Dox also understood angel's meaning at this time: "this building is just built next to the real underground maze and surrounded by many sides. It's definitely not unintentional to be so close."
Since it is not unintentional, it is deliberate. Why did the original builders deliberately build next to the underground maze? Is there any conspiracy? Are you going to sneak into the underground maze from here?
"It seems that this time we choose to explore here first. Maybe it's really right." Dox murmured, "it shouldn't be as calm as it seems. There must be a secret."
While DOX was talking, angel said silently in his heart: it's not that we chose the right one, but that you chose the right one.
This proves once again that it is a very wise choice to open the way with DOX.
After confirming that there might be a secret here, angel was not idle and began to continue to look for doubts in the lobby.
There are a lot of heroic team things in the lobby, most of which are living materials and some weapons. Generally speaking, they are worthless objects.
Angel did not move their materials, but used his spiritual power to observe the ground and walls through these mortals, looking for transcendental traces or hidden lines.
However, it may be that time has passed for too long, and all the extraordinary traces have disappeared. Only the fireworks left by the hero team.
As for the hidden lines... No. It is found that the floors and walls are also mixed with extraordinary materials of the same level as dense copper, which is also the reason why the building has not been completely wiped out by time.
Seriously, angel sighed slightly at the smoke and fire marks left by the hero team on the ground and the knife and sword scratches on the wall. Although these extraordinary materials are not worth money in his opinion, they are much more valuable than the pile of scrap iron on the ground. Take out a few bricks and give them to some alchemists. Even if the magic crystal can't be changed, there are still gold coins.
And the people of the hero team are asking for money?
However, it can't be blamed that they have no eyes. After all, the world of the extraordinary is too far away from them. Moreover, if they take out a few floor tiles, they probably can't find an alchemy shop that can sell them.
Angel shook his head and stopped thinking.
After looking for a circle in the lobby again, angel looked up and saw that DOX was still on the podium. He murmured silently in his heart. Did DOX find anything?
Just as angel was about to go to the podium, a stone slab flew down from the sky.
"Lord Black, have you found anything?" Angel stopped and asked.
Black count: "I found a gadget, but it's useless. I didn't take it, but it's worth some magic crystal. You can take it if you are interested."
After some conversation, it turned out that the reason why the black count just went straight to the top of the building was because he found a curl of smoke from the rooms on the second and third floors, all running to the top.
The black count had only his nose, and his sense of smell was unparalleled. He smelled something wrong for the first time. There were signs of campfire in the lobby and smoke from burning food in the accommodation, but the air in the whole building was quite clean and thorough. At that time, the black count guessed whether there would be a pipe for discharging smoke, and whether the pipe would be connected to the depths of the underground maze.
It turned out that the black count thought too much.
At the top of the building, he found a card embedded in the sculpture.
The card can remain immortal for many years. Naturally, it is extraordinary.
That's an inscription card.
The inscription engraved on the card surface is a beautiful lady in Tulle pouring the gurgling water in the water bottle.
The card surface of this inscription card is quite classic, meaning "purification of Goddess", which can purify the pollution in the air.
However, purification cannot operate unilaterally. After the pollution is collected, it will slowly turn into essence and form a sculpture outside. Sculpture as like as two peas.
The larger the sculpture, the more pollution is absorbed. Finally, the sculpture will completely wrap the card. At this time, the function of the purification card begins to decrease. The thicker the package, the weaker the effect.
Time flies. After so many years, the purification card has been completely wrapped by the sculpture, and the effect has become very low. It can absorb ordinary fireworks.
However, dispose of the sculpture outside, take out the purification card again, and find a person who understands the inscription to repair it, which can be restored as new. Therefore, in the black count's view, it is worth some money, but he disdains to ask for it.
Angel is not going to ask for inscriptions, because the suppression of extremist sects is very scarce in the southern region, but it is not scarce in other wizard circles. He can go to other wizard circles in Yuantan, so he doesn't care about a low-value inscription card.
Dox didn't want it either. There's the strongest purification on the blood side. Why does he want this? Moreover, if you want to sell, you have to find someone who understands the inscriptions. If there are people who understand the inscriptions, they don't know. Even if they are repaired, they can't sell them openly. After all, he is just a wandering wizard and has no backers. He doesn't dare to compete with extreme sects.
As for the other two, Kael has gone upstairs, Wai hasn't come back, and they don't communicate with spiritual ties, so they don't know it at all.
That's all about purifying the card.
"What about you? Did you find anything?" Asked the black count.
Angel shook his head: "the power of time can't leave a trace of transcendence."
Count Black: "what about him?"
The "he" mentioned by count black naturally refers to dox.
Angel: "I don't know. He's been standing on it for a long time. He doesn't know what he's doing. Maybe he's found something, but he hasn't realized it yet. Since adults are here, you might as well go and have a look."
The black count will not refuse. Facts have proved that DOX's talent for inspiration is very strong. They may still get lost outside without DOX's guidance.
Of course, DOX himself didn't know his role was so great.
When he realizes it, maybe it's when his talent appears.
