In a sense, the Church of the Reflection is not only a place where successive popes have passed over, but also a museum in its own right.

The busts of the Church rulers on display alone are of great historical significance, not to mention the magic stone sigils that can recall the major events in history through holograms.

If you want to visit it as a tourist attraction in the future, the tickets will definitely sell out.

It's just that if Roland wants to go in now, he has to spend a lot of effort - although the Reflection Church is located under the old Holy City Church and is completely mirrored, the two are not connected. The stone slabs and clay in the middle were more than ten meters thick, and they were scattered with the Stone of Divine Punishment, which was very troublesome to excavate by hand or directly traversed by the Magic Ark.

After asking Isabella for details, he decided to enter through the underground passage of the monastery anyway.

After all, these passages used to be unimpeded, and although they were later destroyed and blocked, they were not a big problem for the Magic Ark. What's more, the abandoned passage will not be affected by the Divine Stone, and the former is naturally much safer and more secure than the Privy Council, which is shrouded in the influence of the Divine Stone vein.

In addition, in order to avoid getting lost, he asked Sylvie to scan it in advance and determine the best route for this sightseeing trip.

As a result of these preparations, the witches also learned the news. On the day of departure, Roland found a crowd of people gathered outside the tent, among which the little girl Lightning was the most excited.

"Your Majesty, how can you not call me for such an important expedition!" she pursed her lips, as if she had been greatly wronged, "Am I not your chief explorer!"

"Goo-goo, goo-goo!," Maisie said helpfully.

"Uh...... This is just a sightseeing tour, and there is no danger in the place where the Pope will succeed. ”

"Then I want to go too...... All right?" asked the little girl, her eyes twinkling.

There's no way he can't refuse.

With the first, there will naturally be latecomers.

"Take me, Your Majesty," whispered the hummingbird, "and I can help you with your luggage." ”

"As a member of the Quest Society, how could I miss such a crucial moment, are you right, Your Majesty?" the speaker was none other than Agatha.

"I'm going where Sister Anna goes!" the crisp voice came from Nanawa.

"It would be a problem if there was an evil plague in this underground building, didn't you say that places with poor air circulation were the most likely to breed plagues?" Lily said seriously.

"If it's the Starfall Queen, I'd like to see her again......" Not only the witches, but even Phyllis "Seventy-Six" came over.

"Wait, isn't she your enemy of Tachira?" Roland curious.

"But she's also a leader to be respected—and without Master Akaris, we wouldn't have been able to survive the disagreement. ”

...... By the end of the day, almost everyone got their wish and hitchhiked to the Church of the Reflections.

Originally, Roland had only planned to bring Anna, Nightingale, Sylvie, and Isabella, but now due to the huge increase in participants, Maggie had to make several trips back and forth to bring them all into the abandoned tunnels.

These intricate tunnels have remained intact despite being sealed off for a long time. There is no sign of water seepage, and it has not been eroded by plant roots, except for a lot of dust, it is very smooth to walk through.

After about a quarter of an hour's walk, the group reached the upper area of the Church of Reflections. Then, led by Isabella, the group soon came to a grand hall – not so much how spacious it was, but because its dome was almost invisible. On either side of the gate stood a row of stout stone pillars, also straight up, hidden in the darkness.

In other words, its floor height is much greater than its width.

Roland walked into the hall and immediately felt a strong sense of crampedness, as if he was walking on a cliff. Although the walls on both sides were illuminated by glowing magic stones, the faint yellow light was only enough to illuminate a very small area at the bottom.

"This is the prayer room, and portraits of the popes hang on the walls of the hall. Isabella explained as she walked, "On the day of the handover, Oberline took Mayne here for a trip, but the archbishop didn't expect that Oberline had brought another person besides him. ”

"That man is Gero. Roland said in a deep voice.

"Well, it stands to reason that the Pure are never allowed to set foot here, and the witches who infuse the sigils with magic are all selected from among the transformers, and once they have seen those visions, they will soon be used in the transformation rituals of the Divine Punishment Army. Isabella nodded, "From the moment she arrived, she was one of the candidates for the Pope. ”

"It's disgusting," Nightingale said indignantly, not knowing if she was talking about the transformation ritual or if she was talking about Jieluo.

Isabella closed her mouth in amusement.

When they reached the end of the hall, a full-length portrait that took up the entire wall appeared in front of them. Unlike the dim Daozhong, the frame is surrounded by luminous stones, and the soft light brings every detail of the painting to life.

Although Roland had heard Agatha and others mention the appearance of the Witch King many times, when he really saw the portrait, he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Akaris's sword in both hands, her eyes level, as if staring at an unknowable future, but as if looking at him.

Any words describe her appearance is a little lacking, softness and perseverance, ice and fire seem to be perfectly blended in her, as long as you have seen her, it is hard to forget. If only his facial features were outstanding, he wouldn't have been so surprised. In Akaris, the aura of the Ruler rushed to her face, almost like substance—as if she were a natural god, and as long as she was by her side, she could usher in inevitable victory.

"What a beautiful woman," Anna exclaimed, "but fortunately she's gone." ”

Hey, what does the second half of the sentence mean? Roland patted her head lightly, even if Akalise was still alive, could he still be attracted to the other party and be stunted?

However, looking at the nightingale beside him, he decided not to say it.

He must have a clear conscience, but in case...... What if that guy gives some "untrue" or "half-truth" judgment?

After admiring the face of the Starfall Queen, the group walked into the illusion hidden behind the giant painting.

"There are a total of nine magic stone sigils here, and I haven't seen all of them, but some seem to have been passed down from a much older era. Isabella pressed her hand to the magic stone, "I'll activate each one if you want to see it." ”

"Let's get started," Roland nodded.

It was pitch black in an instant.
