Chapter 1574 Stone Ball
Ross Belmont believed Sylvia's words about the town of Lübeck. This belief was not only due to Sylvia's own persuasiveness, but also because of the absolute suppression of blood that prevented him from opposing Sylvia.
Ya.
However, he did not immediately lift the defensive line of the town soldiers. Instead, after hearing Sylvia mention that the arrangements in the forest had been lifted, he ordered his men to lead a team of men to Sylvia and Leo.
He went to the mentioned town of Lübeck to check the situation, and he led Sylvia and Leo back to Red Rock Town.
After returning to Red Rock Town, Leo and Sylvia did not go to the mayor's mansion, but went to the altar on the edge of the town.
Rose Belmont did not accompany him because he needed to change his clothes. Instead, he asked his officials to lead them there as guides.
After he returned to the mayor's mansion, he immediately reported the matter about Sylvia through the family secret method, and the other party also responded immediately, and the content of the reply was only one sentence, which was to make him believe
Sylvia, as for whether Sylvia’s identity is Queen Theresa, it was not mentioned.
However, even with just one sentence, Ross Belmont could feel from this sentence that the family seemed to have a sense of awe towards Sylvia, who was suspected of being Her Majesty the Queen.
Just when Rose Belmont contacted the family through the family's secret method and confirmed Sylvia's identity, Leo and Sylvia had already arrived at the altar, and Leo directly removed the stone ball that sealed abscesses and flesh from the ground.
It was taken out.
"This forbidden stone ball is really exquisite." Sylvia took the stone ball from Leo's hand, looked at it before her eyes, and said.
This stone ball is very small, only about the size of a fist, but its precision is not much worse than the huge stone ball that sealed the Eye of Truth back then. Even the fine Turing characters on it are more complicated. At least Leo can't do anything about it.
After figuring out the combination in a short time, the only thing that is certain is that the Turing root on the stone ball and the Turing root on the golden piece of meat should be the same combination of Turing roots.
"Using such an exquisite sealing stone ball to imprison a piece of abscessed flesh and blood is overkill." Leo tried to use the spiritual net to sense the situation of the stone ball. He soon discovered a peculiarity of the stone ball, that is, this stone
The ball won't stop any prying eyes.
At this moment, Leo's mental net can easily penetrate the stone ball and detect the abscessed flesh and blood inside, as if the stone ball does not exist, but the abscessed flesh and blood sealed inside the stone ball are tightly imprisoned.
, unable to move, even if Leo's spiritual network penetrated to explore the secret of its composition, he was unable to make any counterattack.
"Perhaps it was not made to trap the flesh and blood of abscesses, but was used in other places. It is just convenient to trap the flesh and blood of abscesses." Sylvia said jokingly.
However, after listening to Sylvia's joking guess, Leo couldn't help but be stunned. This sentence seemed to inspire him and made him realize that this stone ball might really be what Sylvia said.
That way, the purpose of creation was not to imprison something.
"Sir, can you tell me about this altar and the town of Lübeck?" Leo asked the town official on the side.
"Ah?" The town official was stunned, and then said in a daze: "Lübeck Town? I have never heard of this name. I just know a little about the altar. For the specific situation, you might want to ask Mr. Ross.
Some, he should know better."
"No, maybe you can learn more about the altar by asking the old guard." Another town official reminded: "I remember that the old guard's family has always guarded the altar."
A native-born town official immediately corrected him: "You are mistaken. The original family of watchers has long been extinct. The watchers who followed were all outsiders who just inherited the name of that family." He said.
, he added: "However, that person inherited everything from the Watcher family and should know more about the altar than we do."
After hearing what the town official said, Leo motioned to the town official to find the guardian of the altar.
Not long after, the watchman, wearing an old leather armor and holding a spear in his hand, was brought to the altar by the town officials. He still didn't understand what was happening now, and looked confused and nervous.
After learning that Leo just wanted to know the past about the altar, the old guard breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Leo what he knew.
The old caretaker didn't know exactly when the altar was built. He only knew that the altar existed before it was built in Red Rock Town. At that time, the altar did not have any name. The family he inherited the surname from was designated by the Belmont family.
After he became the guardian of the altar, he gave it the name of the altar, which is still used today.
The old caretaker didn't know who built the altar and what its purpose was. He just knew that after the annual ritual, he would have the same dream at night, and not only him, but according to the caretakers of all generations
The diary records that every caretaker would have the same dream like him after the annual ritual. The dream was very simple. It was a person sitting on a chair and saying something to him in an unintelligible language.
.
The previous caretakers once told the upper echelons of the Belmont family about this matter, and the Belmont family's response to them was also very simple. They said that they were affected by the strange influence of the altar ban, which caused some abnormalities, so that the caretakers did not need to
Worried, but no solution was offered.
The former guardian of the altar was afraid that he would be under the strange control of the altar, but he did not dare to leave, so in order to relieve the pressure, he tried to carve out what he saw in the dream. The guardian still has this feeling until now.
Habit.
Upon hearing this, Leo motioned to the old caretaker to take him to see the dream objects carved by the altar caretaker.
Afterwards, the group of people came to the caretaker's hut outside the altar. After entering the hut, everyone seemed to have entered a stone sculpture exhibition hall. Various exquisite small stone carvings were neatly placed on the shelves of the hut.
Even the locals of Hongshi Town were surprised that the town actually had a master stone carver.
These stone carvings are pieces of exquisite art in the eyes of the people in Red Stone Town, but in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, these stone carvings contain other meanings, because they found that many of these stone carvings have obvious
Characteristics of the French Empire.
Gu Qi
For example, although the sculpture of a figure sitting on a chair does not have the face of the figure carved out, his clothes are carved out, and his clothes are very typical of the aristocratic clothes of the French Empire, and they can even be distinguished from the clothes.
See the family crest.
"The coat of arms of the Fanmere family." Sylvia, who knew the heraldry of the French Empire well, instantly identified which Franmere family it came from from the style of the coat of arms, and reminded Leo in French.
"The Fanmeer family?" Leo was stunned and said, "The blasphemer family?"
The reason why Leo was able to understand so quickly which Van Mil family Sylvia was referring to in the French Empire was because this family was very famous, because it was the only one in the French Empire after the establishment of the Third Empire.
The aristocratic families of the empire were purged by the church in the name of blasphemy. Because of this incident, the empire promulgated three far-reaching laws: the Religious Law, the Amnesty Law, and the Noble Law.
All of them suppress religious theocracy.
"Can you tell the specific identity from the badge?" Leo asked.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Sylvia shook her head, then thought for a moment, and said, "However, I remember that the church's slogan against the Van Mil family was blasphemy, but in fact it seemed to be related to wizards. Could it be?
Is it the tower wizard?"
"It's very possible." Leo nodded in agreement.
"You" Just when Leo and Sylvia were talking in French, the altar guard on the side looked at the two people with a look of horror, as if they had seen something terrible, and even because of fear, his legs
He was so weak that he couldn't stand still and sat down on the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" the town official asked with an unhappy look on his face when he saw the altar keeper's impoliteness.
"They, they are weird, they are banned weird!" the altar guardian shouted in panic, and ran out of the altar in a rolling and crawling manner.
Faced with the identification of the altar keeper, Leo and Sylvia both looked confused and confused. Although the other town officials accompanying them did not completely believe the altar keeper's words, they still couldn't help but take a few steps back.
And he put his hands on the weapon at his waist and the prayer relic hanging around his neck.
At this moment, Leo and Sylvia also realized why the altar keeper had such a reaction, because just now the altar keeper mentioned that in his dreams, a person kept sitting on a chair and saying something to him,
The Belmont family explained that this was due to the strange influence of being banned. Leo and Sylvia were talking in French just now, and the pronunciation and other details were exactly the same as the language spoken by the man in the altar keeper's dream. This made it possible that
The altar guard made some associations and equated the two people in front of him with the strangeness of the ban.
Although the reason for the misunderstanding was a bit dumbfounding, Leo and Sylvia had no intention of explaining it. At this time, Ross Belmont, who had changed his clothes, also came to the altar, and the altar caretaker who had just escaped because of the misunderstanding also followed.
By his side, it was just that he had obviously not gotten over the misunderstanding. He was still holding the weapon tightly in his hand, and his eyes were still full of panic when he looked at Leo and Sylvia. On the contrary, Rose Belmont looked very calm, not at all affected by just now.
The rhetorical impact of the Watchers.
Before contacting the family, Ross Belmont might have doubted the identities of Leo and Sylvia because of the accusations made by the watchers. Even if they would not become directly hostile, he would have taken some precautions, but he had already obtained
With clear instructions from the family, he knew that the two people in front of him definitely had unusual identities and could not be banned weirdos, so after meeting the watchers, he still chose to lead only a few guards over instead of turning around.
Bring over those soldiers who are still on standby.
"I heard from the caretaker that you two want to know about the altar and the strange things that are banned. I know these things more clearly and can answer them for you." Rose Belmont was very proactive, and when Leo and Xi
Before Sylvia opened his mouth, he expressed his willingness to tell what he knew about the altar and the strange things banned. However, because what he said contained some taboos, he sent everyone else around him outside the altar.
Only then did he begin to tell what he knew.
In fact, he didn't know many things. When he became the mayor of Red Rock Town, his family gave him some instructions and also told him some secrets about Red Rock Town.
For example, the altar was built by the Belmont family. The altar was built to ban the weird thing that led to the destruction of the town of Lübeck. The reason why the Belmont family was so active was mainly because the weird thing was also related to the Belmont family.
.
Ross Belmont is not very clear about the specific connection, but judging from the information left by the mayors of Redstone Town, it may have some connection with a certain plan of the family in the early years. That plan involved the creation of gods. It can be said that
It was very heretical, and I gave up later without knowing why. It may have something to do with the Church of True God’s hunting of heretics, or it may be due to other reasons.
In addition, Ross Belmont said that things like the strange ban in Lubeck Town are not unique to Red Rock Town. There is also a similar altar in Belmont Castle, but that altar is directly managed and guarded by family members. As for
He didn't know the more specific things, after all, he was just a branch of the Belmont family.
After listening to Rose Belmont's words, Leo asked him to find the altar keeper again, and then without further ado, in the altar keeper's nervous mood, he directly used his psychic skills to search for the altar keeper.
The memory of that dream in the brain.
That dream was too profound for the altar keeper. He soon found this memory and directly used a substitute to replace the altar keeper's consciousness and enter the dream memory.
I saw that the dream was very simple as the altar caretaker said. In a room that looked like a study, a middle-aged man wearing French aristocratic clothing sat on a chair.
There is another detail surrounding the altar. The altar caretaker did not mention it, perhaps because he has no memory. This detail is that the middle-aged caretaker holds two stone balls in his hands. One of the stone balls is the stone ball that Leo took from the underground of the altar before.
The stone ball dug out.
"You are here, my fellow wizard." Just when Leo entered that memory, the middle-aged man seemed to be able to see Leo, staring at Leo, and speaking to Leo in that special French aristocratic accent.
Ou said.
After Leo heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't help but suspect that the middle-aged man in front of him might have bent his consciousness on the altar guardian in some way.
However, the middle-aged man soon seemed to be able to guess Leo's thoughts and said: "Don't be nervous, I am not possessed by a soul, it is just an image left in advance. You can see that this image is stored in the analysis ball.
