Chapter 3303 The Secret of the Country
The hound nodded very humanely:
"Please rest assured, it is definitely safe here. This cottage originally belonged to the 'Gravekeeper'. Even if the Gravekeeper no longer exists, no undead will dare to disturb this place."
"So what exactly is a gravekeeper? Some powerful undead individual?"
Theresa couldn't help asking, but the hound shook his head seriously:
"If you hadn't saved me and my daughter, I would never have dared to tell you this. The Gravekeeper is an angel."
No one, including Miss Violet, expected this answer:
"Which god's?"
"Not the master of this place at this moment, but the master of this place at that time."
The hound spoke in a very restrained manner, with its tail drooping uneasily:
"This place was once the gateway between life and death. When the master of the destined death was still alive, the owner of this hut watched over the dead souls coming and going. In the unknown years after the curtain of the old days fell, the former owner of this hut left this place, but still no dead soul dared to enter here."
"But why are you and your daughter allowed in here?"
Miss Liad ventured to ask, and the hound replied:
"Because we have received an invitation, you are temporarily staying here, so you have the right to invite us in."
The Witch Queen thought more:
"How do you know this information? Where does the information come from?"
"The Corpse Tree has been here for many years. I can't tell how long because of the chaos of time and space, but over the years, the number of corpses devoured by the tree is more than the total number of corpses it devoured in the world of the living. If this world didn't allow the tree to be too powerful, and I hadn't been suppressing it, it would have been out of control long ago.
After the tree devoured a corpse, it was able to obtain part of the corpse's memory, and I could also read the memories in the tree that gradually dissipated as the spirit surged, just like reading a book. Those ancient rumors and stories were brought by the corpses devoured by the tree, so I know so many things."
It was also a little afraid of Miss Violet, and although it seemed normal when talking to the blonde witch emperor, Shade noticed that it had its tail between its legs.
"I know something about the angel of the owner of this place at that time. Which angel is it specifically?"
The Hound hesitated before speaking:
"I am the dead. I dare not speak the name, but the angel's holy number of death is '4'."
This means that the angel here is the fourth angel created by the "Ancient Death God". Shad then looked at Sister Beren. Although the fire-bearing nun was not a part of the [Spiritual Order], one of the branches of the Ancient Death God sect, from the beginning, at least in the late Fifth Era, a fire-bearing nun dressed like this must have belonged to the [Spiritual Order].
Sister Belen then replied quietly:
"The fourth angel created by the ancient god, the [Ancient God of Death], the Angel of Requiem, is responsible for guarding the eternal silence."
Because of past experiences, Shade immediately speculated whether the disappeared "Angel of Requiem" was the master of this land of the dead, and whether the angel had become a god. But then he immediately denied this speculation. The old god "God of the Grave" clearly existed when the ancient gods were still alive, which coincided with the existence of the ancient god angel. The two could not be the same existence.
"So it's this person. Many of the existing techniques for soothing out-of-control souls originated from him. Is there any more information about the angel of soothing souls?"
Violet asked the nun as well, but she shook her head slightly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the ancient information has been lost for a long time, and the angels of death have always been mysterious."
"Because this box might be a relic left by the angel, so we can get help from it?"
Theresa looked at the worn wooden box at the end of the bed in awe again, and everyone else agreed with this guess.
However, even if they knew the secret of the former owner of the house, it would not be of much help to everyone at this time. The angel had been gone for a long time, and it was unlikely that he would come back again because of the arrival of their group. This news only helped everyone confirm the safety of the house.
Xia De then continued to ask the next question:
"Do you know anything about the owner of this country?"
The hound suddenly became more cautious, and it held its child, who had boldly looked into Mia's eyes, in its arms:
"This is the kingdom of the great one. Most of the things I know cannot be said directly, otherwise the great one will definitely feel it and watch us. In fact, you may have been watched by others."
Xia De did not comment:
"Just say what you can say."
"God is here, in the core tomb in the center of this wasteland. The so-called 'core' does not refer to the center of time and space in the usual sense, but the center in the concept. Legend has it that the core tomb is the location of the door that communicated with the real death in ancient times.
At that time, thousands of souls came here from the world of the living, broke through the tombs, climbed over the wasteland of tombstones, passed through the thirteen gates cast in soul iron, weighed the weight of their souls under the witness of angels and petitioners, and finally entered the deepest darkness. That is the end, that is also the destination. "
It emphasized:
"The above are all rumors. I don't know if they are true or not. But in this era, there is definitely no way for souls to go here. This is certain."
As it finished speaking, a voice rang in Shade's ears:
[Outlander, you have learned some secrets about the old god "King of Skeletons" (1/3): The throne of the old god sealed the gate of the dead, intercepted the souls that should have left, and forged its own kingdom. ]
"So, I just need to find two more to complete the mission, right?"
Miss Liad was once again frightened by the topic of gods. After all, she was thrown in because she tried to steal in the temple.
She said tremblingly:
"Since the passage leading to death here is in the core tomb, then the road to reality won't be there, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be strange to have two passages together?"
She just tried not to think of the worst case scenario, but Shade thought of the "portal room" in Sylvia's tower with many portals.
"I don't know where the door to the world of the living is. None of the corpses eaten by the corpse tree know this."
The hound shook his head, turned back and nuzzled his restless daughter, and continued:
"Also, do you feel that the above-ground part of the wasteland is very large due to the spatial anomaly? But in fact, the most critical area of this country is the underground cemetery. The above-ground part is the remnant of the past, and the underground part is the main area where the power of the old god radiates.
The Tombstone Wasteland - the underground cemetery area, was built by the old gods themselves. According to the memories of ancient souls, when the original death controller was still alive, the wasteland did not have an underground part. "
"We haven't found the entrance to the underground area yet. If it's not necessary, there's no need to go underground."
Shade spoke up, comforting Miss Liad and Miss Theresa who were secretly worried. Miss Violet, on the other hand, didn't seem to be worried at all. She just held the teacup and looked at Shade very elegantly. The shabby environment around her couldn't hide the natural and strange light on her.
"Finally, I told you about the main common monsters here, and you have already met the knights and knights. They may not know as much as I do, but I know three beings in the wasteland who must know more secrets: the Marquis of Ghoul, the Swelling Lady, and the Gravedigger of the Coffin.
The former devoured too many corpses and became larger than a mountain. The Swelling Lady is a terrifying ancient evil creature whose true identity no one knows. The last Gravedigger is the Chosen One chosen by the master of this place. After his death, the gods gave him power to watch over this world.
The Hound warned:
"The Marquis of Ghoul shouldn't be interested in you since you are not corpses. I don't know the situation of Madam Swelling either, but try not to contact her. As for the gravedigger, if it finds you, you'll be dead."
It helped five living people outline the general situation of this world with the answers to three questions. A huge underground world, seemingly endless numbers of undead, evil creatures and minions of evil gods roaming among the tombstones, lost ancient legends, missing ancient angels, and old gods with deep secrets - this place is like the "Eternal Night City", there are too many things that Shade doesn't know.
His time was limited, and he certainly could not know all the secrets here. Based on the information given by the hound, the next action had to be more cautious, as no one wanted to really face the gods here.
"So Shade, what's next?"
The blonde Violet asked, apparently handing over the command of the "team" to Shade. After all the witches looked at him, he said:
"We now have 24 grave goods and a shovel, and knowing the exit, we only need 13 grave goods. I know that in order to find the exit and actually leave, we may need to consume more grave goods, but even so, we are still rich now.
Therefore, I want to use 7 of them to try to help Sister Belen find the First Flame. On the one hand, this can help us know in advance what dangers those special tombs have, so that we can prepare for the final departure; on the other hand, Sister Belen's level is twelfth, the highest level among us.
Finding the flame of the First Fire will make her stronger, which will ensure our safety when facing the 'Cemetery of Thirteen Funerary Objects'."
He looked at the four witches:
"I know this matter only involves Sister Belen and me, so she and I can go on the adventure, and you wait for us here."
