Chapter 344, the ancient temple on Qipan Island
"Lord Sarah, we can discuss this matter later, no matter what, the Fountain of Immortality has not yet been found. The terrain of Checkerboard Island is so intricate that you can't touch it without a certain amount of luck, and it's too early to talk about that. β
Sarah retracted her outgoing momentum and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Even if I find it, I won't say yes to your request! Remember, the reason why you were able to land in Tahiti and travel safely between the continent of Saint White and the continent of Lane is that without our Provencal family, even if your Pope is there! It's up to me to decide on the seven seas! β
"Hehehe.... Yes, Lord Sarah, you are right, and please forgive me for being abrupt. β
The red-robed old man bowed slightly and bowed to the King of the Seven Seas.
But it is not difficult to see from his expression that although his actions are saluting, there is not much respect in his expression.
Sarah turned around and winked at a few of her cronies.
The sea warriors stood in front of the Holy See, and Sarah himself walked into the entrance of an ancient temple not far in front of him.
He hadn't seen this ancient temple before, but this was the first time he had seen it, so he wanted to find out.
Maybe that's where the fountain of youth appears? He had a hunch that even if there was no fountain of immortality in this ancient temple, there would be other treasures!
As a qualified pirate, you will never let others get your hands on your treasures.
After watching this king of the seven seas walk into the ancient temple, those sea fighters followed in one by one. But their eyes were still full of vigilance and warning.
Seeing that the people of Provence had already left, one of the clergy hurriedly walked up to the old man in red and said, "What about Bishop Zilil! His Holiness has told us to get the Fountain of Youth, and try not to offend the pirate leader! β
saw that the cardinal archbishop opened his eyes that had been squinting, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Pope just said as much as possible, didn't we just do our best?" If that pirate doesn't know what to do, there is no need for our Holy See to maintain the existing alliance with him.... Anyway, we already have enough people to be transported to the border of the Lane continent, as well as to that holy city. We also have charts and reef maps across the Solo Sea. With this, our own shipyard can also build sailboats, and let our own sailors sail across the channel, and these are no longer a problem. As long as this pirate king dies .... The sea fighters in his family are not worried. Send a few men to stay here, and the others will come with me. β
With that, the cardinal led his men into the temple.
And just about five minutes after they entered the temple, the clergy of the Holy See guarding outside the temple heard a few loud explosions like thunder!
The ground seemed to shake as they stood, and then they saw a flash of fire in the distance, which seemed to be in the direction of the harbor.
There is only one port on Qipan Island, which is already under the control of Octopus and the Holy See.
Legend has it that although the port changes its position every year, it follows a fixed track and four points, and crosses back and forth on the four feet of the chessboard island.
This time, the entrance to Qipan Island happened to be moved to the northeast corner, which was also the closest direction to Klose's route.
His luck was good, and the first guessed position was the right treasure~
And the explosion they heard and the fire they saw were the effects of the Iron Plate after the cannon was fired.
It had blown the harbor into flames from afar, and all the ships docked outside the harbor had been shattered, and even if the King of the Seven Seas and the Holy See could find the Fountain of Youth, they would have to think of using local materials and rebuilding the raft to swim back.
And the two forces that entered the temple did not hear the movement outside, I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is sometimes quite good, such as this sound insulation effect, that Nima is really good.
Far away, the Iron Plate blasted the other party's harbor and the docked ships into slag, and when it was about to dock, it was so savagely crashed into the shore, knocking out a gap in the beach inland the port.
At this moment, the pilots on the Iron Plate also took off one after another, scouting and searching for enemy movements in the surrounding area.
Soon, one of the pilots sent back the news that he had found traces of the actions of the Holy See and the ProvenΓ§al family.
Immediately following them, according to this trace, they quickly found the existence of the ancient temple.
A group of people in the Holy See were looking into the distance through the cracks in the towering vegetation on the island when they suddenly saw several dark shadows flashing overhead.
When they turned their heads to look overhead, there was nothing.
Several of the clergy looked at each other, all shaking their heads, bewildered. They couldn't imagine what it was that could make such a loud noise, could it be an earthquake?
But the next moment, a bag wrapped in oiled paper suddenly landed not far from them, startling everyone.
The clergy who remained outside the Holy See had never seen such a thing, and thought it was like a box wrapped in oilcloth?
They looked around for a while, then moved some distance closer, and when they saw that nothing had happened, they boldly walked over to the box and looked around.
The box was just wrapped in a tarpaulin, and they couldn't see why, so they decided to pry it open, maybe it would be a case of fine ale?
And just as these people were about to open the box with clubs and short swords, the box exploded violently!
The wave of air pushed these papal people far away, and the debris from the explosion flew in all directions! Some of the clergy were covered with stubble, screaming one after another, and they rolled on the ground in pain, but after the explosion, their ears buzzed, and they could not hear anything, not even their own cries for help.
Although no one spoke out at this moment, they all had a feeling in their hearts.... I'm going to die!
I have to say that the hunch of these gods is very right. Soon, a group of flying soldiers landed underground, spears in hand, and stabbed the throats of the howling clergy, telling them to go to their High God in advance.
And when Klose and the others walked to the gate of the ancient temple, he also had a strange feeling in his heart.
His feeling was somewhat similar to that of the King of the Seven Seas, and even if there was no Fountain of Immortality in this temple, there were other cow breaking things!
So what if he goes in as such? What about getting in? Or do you want to go in?
In the end, Klose happily decided that the temple had to be entered!
He left the sailors and soldiers behind and let them continue to search for and destroy enemy forces around the island. And he, with Night Wind, Meloyd, and Jason, who strongly demanded to follow, rode into the ancient temple on Bajie.
Although Klose walked into the ancient temple with only three people and a pig, none of the people in Crow City showed any concern for his safety.
The strength of those lords' wives is obvious to all, and if the three of them will be injured while protecting the lord, then I'm afraid it will be useless for all of them to protect them.
The most important thing is that the lord of his own family is a master of magic himself! And I heard that his swordsmanship is also very powerful, and he can already compete with Captain Kret.
Klose's swordsmanship was passed down to Ocassi a thousand years ago, so isn't that powerful?
Walking into the ancient temple, Klose casually threw out a crystal ball that emitted a faint white light and could float on its own.
This is a pathfinder prop, and its main role is lighting and pathfinding, so he has nothing to worry about.
Everywhere the white light shone was moss-covered boulder walls, and wetland insects hiding.
It can be seen that this place has not been trodden by human footprints for a long time, and the footprints just left are obviously those left by the Holy See and the Pirate King.
Klose drew Ocassi's greatsword and held it in his hand, carefully clearing the way ahead.
The roads in this ancient temple lead in all directions, there are forks in the road everywhere, there are cloisters everywhere, and there are traps everywhere.
He didn't know how many times he had rounded the exit, and finally, at Nightwind's suggestion, he used the magic element as a signpost at every fork in the road.
In this way, Klose and the others finally arrived in a room that he had not seen before.
But there were already two corpses lying on the floor in this room, two pirate corpses.
"Hey, look! The King of the Seven Seas must have entered in front, and none of the blood of these corpses had coagulated! But how could he ignore the corpses of his companions? Could it be that traces of the Fountain of Youth? We'll have to find it ourselves. β
Klose examined the deaths of the two pirates and found that they had both died of poisoning.
He frowned and looked around and said, "Be careful, everyone, there may be some kind of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes here." β
Meloyd raised the corners of her mouth: "Master, don't worry, no matter what poisonous insects are infested here, I will find it as soon as possible." If it was interesting, it wouldn't bother me. β
Klose laughed and said, "Hey~ I forgot that there is an ancestor who used poison here?" β
Yes, with Meloyd, they are not afraid of who will poison them.
