Chapter 39: Misin
"Steward Peggy, please speak carefully, as far as I know, the angels have no reason to betray their comrades at this time." Akara's face became very serious, which made it impossible for her to be serious, after all, if this matter was not done well, it was likely to cause a drastic change in the whole situation.
"Lord Akara, you misunderstood me, the source of the pollution is from heaven, not that there is an angel involved in this, this source of pollution is from the Sisters of the Blind Eye, and it is one of the sacred relics of the Sisters of the Blind Eye."
"A relic of the Sisters?! But as far as I know, all the sacred relics of the Sisters have been destroyed, and there should be no ...... left in the world."
Akara's brow furrowed deeply, and his withered hands were constantly intertwined, looking very nervous.
"Yes, Guandaril said that this artifact, called the 'Key to the Mountains', is now stored in an underground chamber somewhere in the monastery, guarded by the souls of several powerful nuns who volunteered to die, and that the creatures of hell are not allowed to enter at all, and Andariel abandoned us after learning of our situation, saying that someone else would help him take it out."
"What?!! The key to the mountains? Isn't it broken? Why is it ......"
Shocked even more by the name of the relic, Akara muttered to herself and walked around the tent, and after a long while, she suddenly let out an exclamation, rushed to the corner of the tent, and pulled out a book from there.
"I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Akara sat in his chair and spread out the book on his lap, and an irregular cylinder engraved with runes appeared on the page, a portrait with a small line clearly marked underneath the portrait - the key to the mountains.
Xue Hua became a little interested, he walked up to Akara and read the text of the book with Akara, Akara touched the pages with her hand, in this way she could read like a normal person.
"The Key to the Mountains is the essence of the mountains, the spiritual object that is forged from heaven, the only way to open the gates of the mountains, it is an artifact, it is a pass given by the mountains to the Sisters of the Blind Eye, as long as you hold it, anyone can get through the mountains unimpeded, under the feet of the person who holds the key to the mountains, the moat turns into a path, the cliff grows a bridge, the abyss becomes flat, and the mountains melt out of the tunnel. The Key to the Mountains is immortal, its appearance is only a symbol, and its external destruction in any way will only lead to the return of the Mountain Key to the embrace of the mountains, and you will never be able to destroy it unless you level all the mountains in this world! β
This passage is a record describing this sacred relic called the Key to the Mountains, Xue Hua was a little puzzled when he saw it, since it was said that it could not be destroyed, why did Akara say that it had been broken?
"Because I saw it crack in the middle and lose its divine power, and there was no external force exerted in the process...... At the time, I thought the mountains had abandoned us......"
Akara seemed to see through what Xue Hua was thinking, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Calm down, Lord Akara, Andariel wishes to use the cover of this artifact to drop the Hell Bait into the Holy Well! Moreover, there should be others in the camp who have betrayed humanity! β
Xue Hua reminded Akara a in a bit of a hurry, he was afraid that one day when he came back from the hunt, he would find that the entire camp had suddenly turned into monsters.
"If it's really the key to the mountains, then things are in trouble......"
"Why?"
"The Mountain Key has always been a sacred relic in the Order's vault, and only the oldest of the Order's ancestors know where it was placed, and I know where it used to be, but I haven't seen it since it broke in front of me."
"Doesn't that mean that no one knows where this holy relic is?"
Xue Hua scratched his head, he was most afraid of this kind of headless and brainless thing, how big was the monastery? It's almost equivalent to a small city, and if you don't know the exact location in this kind of place, it's really no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
"There's one person who probably knows."
Kashya spoke suddenly.
"Who?!"
"Blood Crow!"
"Blood Crow? Which blood crow? You don't mean the blood crow in the place where bones are buried, do you? β
"Is there a second blood crow in this world?"
"Hold the grass, that's a demon!"
"But she was once the captain of the inner security of the monastery, and if anyone had the best chance of knowing where that relic ended up, I couldn't think of anyone else but her."
Kashya said firmly.
"But how do you communicate with a demon?"
"Not necessarily, the Blood Crow has actually been struggling all along, it stores its last will in a bow that it used in its lifetime, and that bow is placed in the Great Mausoleum in the Burial Place, but if I go, the bow will be hidden by the demonic power, and others will not be able to find the bow if they are too strong, but if the person who is too weak goes, once it comes into contact with the bow, it will summon the doppelganger of the Blood Crow, which is a monster of up to level twenty-five, and basically no one can win."
"In other words, as long as you get that bow, you can save the soul of the blood crow?"
"Yes, and we'll be able to find out the whereabouts of the Mountain Keys from the Blood Crow."
"Well, that's a good idea, but what are you staring at me all the time?"
Kashya's eyes stared at Xue Hua with strange eyes, and Xue Hua's hairs stood on end, and he turned around and wanted to run, not even wanting to hear where Tagao's avatar was.
It's a pity that Kasha, as a big Amazon, how could he let Xue Hua run away?
Directly carried the back collar of his clothes and pulled him back.
"No way! Don't even think about it! You haven't paid me this time, and you want me to do such a damn thing? Slave owners are not as inhuman as you! β
Xue Hua struggled desperately.
"Really not going?"
"Don't go!" Keep struggling.
"But you have to know that if you want to hire mercenaries in Rog's camp, you have to clean up the place where the bones are buried~"
"So what? It's a big deal that I'm going to kill the blood crow again, and I want to go down to the mausoleum to find that damn bow, but there is no door! β
"But people can only hire one mercenary, Anne and Funia, who are you going to abandon?"
Kasha finally reveals his sinister true colors.
"I ...... Depend on! β
"And these two girls are my darling, if you don't have any skills, I may not give you any of them~"
"You! You! Shame on you! β
Xue Hua almost didn't vomit blood, to be honest, he really didn't want to let go of such two beautiful cute girls~ I had planned it, but I didn't want Akara to entrust him to investigate the reward of the evil cave this time, and he was thick-skinned and asked Kasha to ask the two girls to come over, but Kasha was actually waiting for him here with a net open......
But suddenly, Xue Hua remembered another thing, which made him wilt all of a sudden.
What a swarm! The swarm!
How can you hunt with a swarm with two girls? If the queen of insects is allowed to go out hunting alone with the swarm, he will not be able to share the experience and pick up items, and if he doesn't release the swarm, with his little strength, it will be enough to even mix in the bloody wasteland!
Looking at Xue Hua, who suddenly lost his energy, Kasha shook his arm, as if he wanted to see if he was spoiled by her.
"What's wrong? So uninspired? Forget it, I'm kidding you! Really, big manγγγγγγ β
"That's not it...... Hey, I'll take this errand, but Annie and Funia will leave it to Sister Kashya, you take care of it, I'll ...... Not very convenient. β
"Huh?!" Kasha looked at him in surprise, and then as if she had thought of something, she glanced at Akara, but saw Akara sitting there with a faint smile, talking to Peggy about something, feeling Kasha's gaze, she turned her head, smiled at Kasha and nodded.
Really! This little guy has secrets! And I'm afraid it's not a small secret!
