"boom"

Something didn't seem to stop or was out of control. It slammed into the outer wall of the main hall, and probably swept the load-bearing giant column, so that the entire temple trembled slightly.

It sounded noisy and chaotic outside, some people were screaming, some people were screaming, mixed with some broken sentences:

"How the fuck... how to control it?! Ah, ah, I'm going to be thrown away—"

"Why are these undead so crazy!"

"Can you identify the direction? Ah?!"

"Follow up, follow up! Your Majesty has entered the door!"

Kevin: "..." It sounds like some unreliable method was used.

As a result, in the next second, a black gust of wind with a smell of death and decay slammed open the huge stone gate of the temple, smashing its head and covering its face. Kevin quickly grabbed the pillar of the stone cup with his eyes and hands, and barely escaped it.

For a time, ghosts and wolf howls filled the entire temple. The shrill roars of thousands of beasts and the piercing roars of birds of prey came one after another, all pouring into his ears, making Kevin's eyes go black, and a "hum" sound in his head, a The head rose to two big.

Did this fucking drive an entire farm in here? !

The two stone gates slammed into the walls on both sides, and the gravel fell straight down, sweeping up a piece of dust that had accumulated over the years, making people unable to open their eyes.

Kevin just blinked his eyes twice and blinked the dust out of his eyes, when he saw a black shadow with wings spread its head down, Osved's order came from above through the noise: "Get out of the way! Don't let them hit the idol Blasphemy!"

In the legends that have been circulated in the mainland for a long time, whether it is the tomb of the gods or the tomb of the god Fae, in the main hall, in addition to the totem symbols, there are also huge stone statues corresponding to the gods. Those stone statues are not pure sculptures, but coffins.

They are hard and hollow on the outside, and inside are the remains of the gods who have been sleeping for thousands of years, symbolizing that even if the gods die, they will always stand tall and stand upright.

Such a statement has been passed down from generation to generation, and later it has become a fact recognized by almost everyone, although no one has confirmed it, and it is impossible to confirm it.

"Did you all come in? Lead this group of things and lock them out the door!"

Before Kevin opened his eyes, he felt another gust of wind blowing over his head, and then the black fog that was screaming and howling was walked towards the door with such force that it almost sent Kevin flying again.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, but everything seemed to be running according to the emperor's command. The whistling black fog was about to crash out of the door. Someone had already taken a long breath and shouted in advance: "Finally. —"

As soon as these two words were spoken, the black mist suddenly turned its direction, as if the things in the temple attracted their attention more than the living people. saw that black fog screamed in confusion and rushed towards the huge Fae statue.

Osved and the others couldn't react in time. When they turned around and chased after them, they only saw the scene of the god statue crashing down.

"Boom-"

After a blast of boulders hitting the ground, there was a series of noisy sounds of rubble rolling to the ground. The Fae statue, which had stood alone in the temple for an unknown number of years, was just smashed to the ground.

Everyone: "..."

They were so frightened that they closed their eyes and even their hearts were shaking: Fae God Tomb! This fucking is Fae's tomb! We dug God's grave, not to mention, but opened God's coffin, save... life...

It doesn't matter if the person sitting on the bird's back closes his eyes, even the giant orc who turned into a bird has his eyes closed, so one can imagine it.

Hearing the muffled sound of knocks one after another, everyone slammed into the door, slammed into the door, and slammed into the wall, and they all fell into pieces. When they finally could no longer be blinded and had to open their eyes, they suddenly realized that the black fog that was mixed with thousands of undead had disappeared for some reason.

"What about the dead and the undead?" Nick stammered, but he never dared to glance near the shattered stone statue.

"It seems that I didn't hear it after the statue fell down..." Someone whispered back.

The statue is down...

Why the fuck is the Refreshing Statue down...

Everyone nodded silently and took a deep breath.

"What are you doing lying on your stomach? Get up!" Osved's impatient voice sounded coldly again. He paused and added in a low voice, "The statue is empty, and there is no body of the legendary Radiant God."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and then quickly got up and looked at the large piece of gravel, but they didn't see anything that looked like a corpse.

This makes me feel better.

Nick and the others patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kevin stood beside the stone cup, looking at the shroud like a hurricane passing through the temple, his expression was a little numb: Are these little grandchildren who don't know how many generations apart are a little lawless? Ok?

Of course, the word "grandson" is purely swearing, without any intimacy.

The fact that the statue was destroyed was indeed very shocking to Osved, but when he found out that Fae's body was not here, the shock of another event clearly prevailed - the Honourable Kevin Fassbender is standing there. Shaped next to the temple stone cup.

Osved squinted his eyes, raised his foot over the large and small gravel, walked towards Kevin, and sneered: "Your Excellency Fassbender, are you taking the medicine well? Why don't you just use a little more and let We sleep straight into the next century?"

Kevin: "..."

According to his usual character, at this time, if he had no brains, he might have blurted out the words "too much, I'm afraid that you will be fooled", but at this moment, he shut up his mouth for the first time, and put his energy to fight. Bored back again.

The young emperor who was walking towards him looked very calm, with no extra expressions other than his usual sneer. His Excellency Fassbender, who has never looked at other people's faces, has been digging a little more this time.

It's just that there is a difference between this anger and a simple tantrum. Kevin can't describe the specific difference, but when he sees Osved like this, he feels a little guilty for no reason.

What's wrong with me?

Kevin mocked himself in his heart, raised his finger to the stone cup in front of him, and said, "Here - holy water."

Osved stepped forward and gave him a cold look.

There is indeed a puddle of water in the stone cup-shaped pond, which accounts for about two-thirds of the stone cup. This water has been stored underground for an unknown number of years, but it is still as clear as a wash. After the chaos just now, there was not even a layer of dust on the water surface, which shows that it is indeed very special.

When Osved faced the holy water, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face softened slightly. But when he looked up at Kevin again, his face turned faster than a book.

Kevin: "..."

He thought about it and asked again, "How did you get in?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but Osved's face turned darker when he asked. For the first time, Kevin felt that he deserved a punch.

Osved said lukewarmly, "What do you think? Aren't you the first to enter?"

Kevin: "..." My method is obviously different from yours.

The little lion class on the side sat up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Just as he was about to run this way, Dan grabbed him and winked for a while.

Ben obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the big black faces huddled together, but he couldn't get rid of Dan's clutches, so he could only say to Kevin from a distance, "I'm going to tell you! The soil in front of the thorns was all dug up, more than a meter deep! Guess what? A pile of animal bones were dug up! Ah, and skin, meat, and so on."

Kevin: "..."

Having said that, he suddenly remembered that in the Andorha jungle, Osved had mentioned that when the Priest's Court received the letter, when he was suspicious, in order to confirm the credibility, he took someone to dig Kevin's grave.

Coupled with the tomb of the gods this time, the grave was dug alive twice in a short period of time, and the revenge of killing his father was nothing more than that.

While Kevin was amusing himself and laughing at himself in his head, Ben pointed to Osved again, and continued: "Your emperor said that the separated bones represent a curse, curse God! God, can you think of this?!"

Kevin: "..." I'm still the unlucky one who was cursed, which you would never have imagined.

However, when he heard the curse, his expression became complicated for a moment, and then quickly returned to his original state, and asked, "Then?"

"Have you seen the second half of the monument at the entrance of the tomb?" Osved finally said in a deep voice, "I touched the phrase 'dead spirits open the way' on it. It just so happened that the ones that were dug up were aggressive, so I borrowed them. use."

Kevin looked in admiration: "...you really have guts all over your body."

"Then—" Osved stared into his eyes and said slowly, "How did you get in?"

Kevin was stunned by the question he suddenly threw back, and quickly responded. He raised his eyebrows at Osved, swept around the other people in the distance, leaned over and whispered, "It's also the undead who opened the way, but I don't need assistance, because I'm the undead."

He said, stretched out his left hand behind his back, and gestured at Osved's wrist: "You forgot? I'm a dead person."

Osved: ​​"..."

When Kevin raised his head again, he found that His Majesty's face had changed again. Kevin couldn't help but sigh that his thin face could accommodate so many complex meanings at the same time. It was really not easy.

"You knew about the curse buried at the entrance of the tomb?" Osved said this in a tone that wasn't a question at all. "When Ben mentioned it just now, you weren't surprised at all."

"That's it." Kevin shrugged, "I didn't know it at first, but then I knew a little bit."

Osved frowned: "You said before that the reason why you are in this situation now is related to Fae's tomb, and is it involved in this curse?"

Kevin admired his ability to associate more and more, "It does matter a bit, but it's not all."

With his affirmation, Osved's face became even more ugly: "The wave of undead disappeared after hitting the statue, is this curse solved or not?"

"Generally speaking, this curse stems from the resentment of the imprisoned undead. Now that they have been released from the ban, the effect should almost fade away." Kevin casually reassured.

Osved was so excited by his seemingly omniscient state that he was already a little numb. He didn't say much, just stared at him for a long time again.

"..." Kevin said helplessly, "I found that you like staring into other people's eyes a lot lately. Trust me, this is not a comfortable way to stare."

Osved didn't change anything because of what he said, it's time to watch or keep watching. After he pondered for a while, he opened his mouth to guess, "I even suspect now that when Emperor Besselman came to Fae's tomb, you were involved."

Kevin knocked on the rim of the stone cup and said in a leisurely manner: "How much have you thought about, let's just ask together, don't squeeze them out one by one like pouring beans."

"So your answer is?" Osved insisted.

"Okay, just count me in." Kevin sighed.

Osved: ​​"..."

"What's your expression?" Kevin was amused by his toothache-like expression, so he didn't even come closer, instead he straightened his waist and crossed his arms, and said slowly, "The last time you asked me about my life How many years have passed, can you count now? Or change your name to great-great-great-grandfather or something?"

This shameless bastard got a little carried away when he was amused, and he was punished just after saying this.

Seeing Osved's eyes swept across his arm, he paused, and then grabbed his wrist with astonishing force as before, causing Kevin to almost stumble.

"What's wrong with your arm?!" Osved's anger that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly rushed to his head, and he asked sharply, "Why is there such a big wound suddenly when you stand here so well?!"

Although the emperor's strength is great, he is only at the wrist, and deliberately avoids all places where he may touch the wound. His knuckles and tiger's mouth were stretched and white, and there was no blood at all, showing how much effort he had used and how much anger he had.

The wound just grew bigger and bigger under his eyelids, dripping with blood, gurgling down Kevin's arm, and in the blink of an eye it was all over Osved's hands.

"Speak!" Osved's expression looked as if he was about to swallow his life, which made Kevin feel a little guilty again.

When he was at Parsons Manor many years ago, he only felt that the character of this ***-year-old young master was not at all awkward, probably due to the abnormal growth environment, and the way he expressed his emotions was always ingenious. Those who like in my heart always say they are bored, and when they want to attract attention, they especially like to go against people. Sometimes they are extremely paranoid and go to extremes, but their essence is not bad.

Kevin can actually tell at a glance the thought of a child, but unfortunately, he has a bad nature and is a complete bastard. Knowing and knowing, but he didn't follow the young master's intentions at all, and it was fun to tease people so much that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight.

He's a jerk, but he's still self-aware in a way. Knowing that he is playing around with people like that, it's good that the young master doesn't hate him, and it's impossible to like him more.

So, when he proposed to single-handedly go to Fae's tomb, Osved's reaction actually surprised him.

After all, he could see that although His Majesty the Emperor had a bad face all day, when he stopped him, it was really out of kindness and concern. So much so that Kevin felt that Osved had the potential of "masochism" at that time.

But this time it was different. Although Osved strongly opposed his proposal out of fear, he was not so angry.

So much so that Kevin directly put the surprise on his face.

Probably seeing his expression, Osved's clenched fingers loosened a little, and Shen Di's expression forcibly eased a little, and asked again: "What's the matter with you? Obviously not injured, but suddenly he festered. become like this."

Kevin replied: "Because in the tomb of the gods, the physical condition is not stable. After all, this is not a place suitable for living people. It should be better after going out."

After speaking, he pointed to the arm that Osved was holding, and said, "Did you see it? It's starting to heal."

As he said, after the shocking wound that almost revealed bones expanded to the extreme, it healed towards the middle at a speed visible to the naked eye, first the bones and then the flesh.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, what are you busy with, don't you want the holy water? Just leave it like this?" Kevin waved his hand, looking like he was already alive and kicking.

However, his body seemed to be dedicated to hitting him in the face. As soon as he finished speaking, the part of his neck bone near his shoulders began to fester again. Because of the movement involved, the pain was probably severe, which made him frown slightly. .

Osved: ​​"..."

Kevin: "..."

To be honest, whether it is the process of festering expansion or the process of re-healing, it is quite blind and very unsightly. Compared with the small incision on the wrist last time, these are much scarier.

In Kevin's opinion, this kind of thing is really not suitable for inviting people to share, so he "cough", moving his fingers, and raising his eyebrows at Osved: ​​"It's almost, my hand is numb from you. , you are pulling my neck even harder, let me move first."

Osved grabbed his wrist and didn't respond immediately, still keeping his eyebrows down and staring at the wound, wondering if he didn't hear it or was thinking of something else. After a while, he raised his head and released his fingers, nodded his head and slowly spit out a word: "Okay."

There was nothing wrong with the content of the short-distance conversation in just a few minutes, but the atmosphere was really weird. When Kevin retracted his hand, he habitually took a step back before he started to squeeze his wrist to activate the blood.

Osved had turned around and walked towards the crowd. When he turned his head, his expression was very serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Kevin heard him give the order to Wujin Iron Cavalry: "Whoever has an empty water bladder, come over and load the holy water."

After speaking, he turned his head to search again, and asked, "Where is the medical officer? Where is the medical officer?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here. I knocked on my leg and got a little cramp. Do you have any orders?" The medical officer raised his hand near the ruins of the statue, struggling to stand up.

"Okay, don't move, I'll go over." After Osved finished speaking, he raised his foot and stepped over a few rubble, walked to the doctor, squatted down, and asked a few words about the doctor's situation in a low voice.

Kevin withdrew his gaze, and did not continue to pay attention to the movement over there. He only thought about things related to the curse.

But just a moment later, the familiar steady footsteps approached again. Kevin raised his head helplessly, and saw Osved beckoning to him and said, "Let them pour holy water, stop posing there, come and pack up and prepare to go back."

Kevin nodded, walked over, and when he was in front of Osved, he turned his head and lowered his voice with a stern face: "Such a big wound, it's not going to heal quickly, I asked the doctor from the doctor. Get some powder."

"What's the use of medicinal powder..." Kevin couldn't help laughing and crying, "It's not finished yet, the wounds are all healed up, and when the wind blows, there's no other use other than smearing my face—"

Before he could say the word "la", Osved, relying on the tall man, put one hand on the back of his neck and directly covered his face with the other.

Kevin only felt a scent of anther rushed towards the door, filling his nostrils in an instant, and the next second he felt a deep drowsiness rushing up, as if a thick swamp had been poured into his head, and he couldn't even stir it. .

His eyes were dark, and the last thought flashed in his chaotic mind: Are you so itchy that you actually plot against me? !

Then he lost consciousness.

Except for Osved's anxious words, the conversation between the two of them deliberately kept their voices low, and the whole group of people in the temple did not know what happened.

"I just lowered my head and looked up, why did the little white-faced commander lie down..." Dan Gan stared at Osved with a pair of big white eyes, "Is he, is he still angry?"

As soon as Osved picked up Kevin and walked towards the crowd, he heard such a silly question. He rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Of course I'm angry, but it's just a little overworked to come in alone. Let the medical officer give him some medicine, and now he is in a coma."

The medical officer who gave the emperor a lot of drug addiction lowered his head silently, touched his nose, coughed and said, "Well, yes, painkillers painkillers."

Dan: "..." He really didn't understand why painkillers could knock people out.

But in view of the scene his escort bumped into in front of the tomb gate, he decided it would be better to shut up and not ask more questions.

"Your Majesty, the holy water is ready." Nick led the two of them towards the side, shaking the water bladder in his hand, "Shall we go now?"

Another officer glanced hesitantly at the gravel on the ground: "Is the statue... just leave it alone?"

Osved motioned for Dan to change back into the form of a giant eagle and put the sleepy Kevin on his back before walking to the gravel, squatting down and rummaging carefully.

"What are you looking for, Your Majesty?" Nick and the others couldn't help asking.

"Haven't you noticed that this statue is really hollow?" Osved pointed to a severed hand of the statue in front of his feet, and swept a circle of other curved stones, and said, "If it wasn't for putting something in it Things, why bother to make them hollow?"

When everyone heard this, they also felt that it was reasonable. After being told this by the emperor, everyone understood his intention - since the statue is hollow, it is very likely that there is something in it, or it once contained something. The emperor wants to find some traces on these gravel.

Because the statue is too big and there are too many gravel, it took a lot of work to find it, especially in the whole temple, there is only the bug lamp brought by Kevin, and the lighting is very problematic.

Fortunately, there were quite a few of them, and each of them gathered a few pieces and took a look at the bug lantern, and they quickly looked through most of them.

"Your Majesty! Here! Come here!" An officer raised his hand and gestured.

"What?" Osved hurriedly walked over, following his fingers to a rubble lying on the ground.

"Look at this arc, if you guessed correctly, it should be the bottom of the statue." The officer used his fingers to draw an outline and said, "Look here, do you want footprints?"

Osved frowned, took the bug lantern held by someone else, and approached the stone. Seeing that on the stone, there are faint traces, like some kind of dark liquid such as blood water, etc., which are stained under the feet, leaving a mark on the stone statue.

It's just that don't know how many years ago this imprint was, so shallow that it almost disappeared.

What does the footprints at the bottom of the statue mean?

At that moment, everyone held their breath subconsciously - that legend may really be true, and they couldn't imagine any other possibility except Fae's body that left these footprints.

"Wait!" Nick dug out another stone next to him. He put the stone under the insect lamp and said, "There is something here."

"what?"

"This is... a name and a pattern." Nick handed Osved both the stone block and the bug lamp, "Your Majesty, why can't I understand this pattern? The characters used for the name are very old, and I don't know how to pronounce it. ."

Osved stared at the stone for a moment, then said solemnly, "The pattern is a flower... no, it's a flower vine and thorns. The name is..."

The ancient texts are quite different from the ones used now, but some can still be inferred from the current ones.

The emperor's eyes stayed on the unfamiliar name for a long time, and then tried to read it: "Morley, the engraved name is Morley."
