"What's going on?" Leo, with doubts in his heart, stepped forward and took a closer look at the body of the fire defense girl in the ruins of the secret room.

It's not quite appropriate to say they are corpses, because most of them have rotted to the point where only the bones are left. There are a few corpses that have not completely decomposed. Only three corpses are still slowly decaying. The reason why all these corpses are recognized

It is a fire-bending woman, because all the corpses are wearing extremely obvious fire-bending clothes and have fire-bending masks on their heads. The only thing missing is the scepter in the hand of the fire-bending woman.

"Isn't it true that people are not fire-proof girls, but the scepter is?" Seeing this situation, Leo couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

After Leo's eyes scanned all the corpses, he finally landed on the relatively best-preserved corpse of a fire-fighting woman. Although it was almost similar to a mummy, Leo could still identify the fire-fighting woman from some subtle features.

The body of the fire-bending girl was that of the fire-bending girl he had communicated with not long ago, and the cause of death of this fire-bending girl was completely different from the other fire-bending girls.

Judging from the preservation of the bones of the other fire-proof girls, they all died of natural causes. Only the body of this fire-proof girl had different injuries. The most serious one was that the heart was pierced from the back, which can be said to be fatal.

, and judging from the size, width and other details of the scar, it should be a big sword, which made Leo couldn't help but think of the big sword in Seledor's hand. In addition, other wounds also include knight swords, battle axes and burns.

Wait for traces.

Leo quickly constructed a picture in his mind based on the scars on the corpse. In this picture, three people from the White Cult, three people from the Berserker, the old man who read the book, and Seledor attacked the Fire Defense Girl at almost the same time.

Attacked, the fire defense girl barely even made a move to resist, and was killed by their combined forces.

"Did you have a premeditated plan?" Leo thought doubtfully.

It's just that this idea only flashed in his mind for a moment before he rejected it. Unless others said it, Seredor could never be a part of the premeditated plan. Although he and Seredor didn't get along for a long time, they could

He could clearly feel that Seredor was a person. In a certain aspect, Seredor and Jason were very similar, so he was willing to bring Seredor with him to the royal city.

If it weren't for the power of the small garden that disrupted the time and space of the royal city and caused him to miss the time and space at that time, maybe he would still explore the royal city with Seledor now, and even help Seledor complete his purpose of going to the royal city.

However, the current situation shows that Seredor also took action against the firebender whom he respected very much, and also launched the most fatal blow, which is obviously very inconsistent with Seredor's character.

Either there was something abnormal about the fire girl, and the people in the prayer hall secretly made a plan to get rid of the abnormal fire girl, or the fire girl was normal and something was wrong with others.

"Those idols?" Leo's mind instantly thought of how Seledor and the others had obtained something by praying to different idols before they cut off contact with the fire girl. At this time, he thought about everyone's experiences at that time.

The location seemed to coincide with the location of Fire Defense Girl's wound. For example, Seledor was standing behind Fire Defense Girl at that time.

"That is to say, there was something strange over there, and the moment I lost contact with the fire defense girl, they took action at the same time." Leo frowned slightly and murmured to himself: "Is it because there is something wrong with the statue?

?”

Although there is no evidence, from all the current clues, it seems that there is something wrong inside the statue. The moment Leo threw the tree heart into the bonfire to maintain the flames of the bonfire, something hidden in the statue was inspired.

While Seledor and others prayed to the statue and received the revelation from the statue, they were also affected by the things hidden in the statue, or even invaded, and finally launched an attack on the fire defense girl.

, and they work seamlessly with each other.

Leo muttered to himself again and said, "Why am I fine? Is it because the things hidden in the statue have been inspired in the past time and space?"

As he spoke, Leo squatted down and carefully looked at the corpse of the fire girl. Because the collapse of the secret room just now caused the corpse to be a little dislocated, but judging from the position of the corpse, it was obvious that it had been carefully selected.

, and also moved the bodies of other fire-fighting girls around so that they could lie intact in a separate open space. This shows that someone specially brought the corpse of the fire-fighting girl here for burial, and this person also

I know the fire-prevention women very well, otherwise it would be impossible to find this secret room where the corpses of the fire-prevention women of all generations are stored.

Soon Leo found a book from under the fire girl's body. This book was originally supposed to be placed on the fire girl's belly. The fire girl was lying on the ground with her hands folded on the book. Just because of what she just said

The movement caused the fire girl to turn over and the book was pressed under her body.

This book is not a religious book related to the royal city, but a magic notebook, a magic notebook written in words that Leo cannot understand. It is just because of the special power of the place where everything ends that Leo

I could barely read some words and patterns on the cover and some pages that did not involve mysterious powers, and I could barely figure out that the author of the book was a magician from Dragon Academy.

Seeing this magic notebook, Leo immediately thought of the old man who had been sitting next to the campfire reading, because he remembered that the old man always had a leather bag hanging on his waist, and the bag was bulging, so he should have put something in it.

Judging from the appearance, it is about the same size as the magic notebook in his hand now.

"Why? Why did he bury the fire-bending girl? Why did he put the most important magic notes on the fire-bending girl?" While making his guess, Leo quickly had new questions in his mind.

Logically speaking, after Seledor and others were affected by the unknown power in the statue and attacked the fire girl, they should not have disposed of her body so carefully, unless they recovered after killing the fire girl.

He regained consciousness and escaped from the control of the unknown power in the idol.

Moreover, judging from various signs, they did not rely on their own strength to escape from control. It was more likely that the Fire Control Girl did it before she died. What will happen to the people who have recovered after they realize what they have done?

You can imagine the mood.

After Leo made what he thought was the most reasonable guess based on the clues he could find now, he turned his attention to the magic book in his hand and quickly flipped through a few pages, trying to see if he could end everything.

The special power of the place interprets the magic book.

But after flipping through two pages and seeing a magic circle diagram, he suddenly froze, as if he had discovered something, with a serious look on his face, and then he saw him take out the book he had been reading from the storage space.

I took out the crystal magic book that was stored in the space, and compared the cover of the crystal magic book with the magic array diagram.

I saw that there is also a very fine magic array diagram on the surface of the crystal magic book. Because of the crystallization on the surface, you can't see it clearly if you don't look carefully. What's interesting is that this magic array diagram is actually the same as the magic array on the magic notebook in Leo's hand.

The pictures are almost identical, and what's even more incredible is that the handwriting of the special characters on the magic circle is exactly the same. According to Leo's graphological analysis, it can basically be judged that it was written by the same person.

"Could he be the crystallized old man in the big library?" Leo couldn't help but come up with a bold idea after making the discovery.

Although this idea seems a bit absurd, it is not impossible, because the time and space of this place where everything ends is completely chaotic. The present may be the future or the past. Everything that happens here cannot be explained by common sense.

.

This magic notebook is an unexpected gain for Leo, and it is also very important to him, because he may be able to find out how to use the crystallized old man's magic book by interpreting this magic notebook.

Thinking of this, Leo unceremoniously received the magic notebook as a burial object and the crystal magic book into the storage space, and then checked it carefully to see if there was anything missing.

After finding nothing missing, Leo got up and moved some stones from the rubble nearby, piled them neatly on and around the body of the fire girl, and made a simple grave. Then he got up and left, continuing

Rush towards the hidden path leading to the upper ancient city.

Along the way, Leo was thinking about the final destination of Seledor and others while constantly trying the effect of the ball of human pus in his hand, and the final result was very good. As long as Leo did not take the initiative to provoke, those living corpses and

Monsters that show signs of being possessed by human pus will not actively attack Leo.

It didn't take long for Leo to return to the temple area. This time he didn't think much about it. After preparing any spiritual skills, witchcraft and divine seal power that could cope with emergencies, he

He walked into the main street of the temple area and entered the patrol area of ​​the monsters transformed by the clergy.

Just like other places, after Leo entered the patrol area of ​​​​the monsters, those monsters were also aware of it, but the human pus on Leo's body had a very good camouflage effect. Those monsters did not attack Leo, but just followed the instructions

I patrolled back and forth on my established route.

Leo moved quickly within the temple area, without wasting time searching the surrounding temples. Although he probably had a lot of good things in the surrounding temples, he was not in the mood right now. The only thing he could do was to leave here as soon as possible.

He wanted to know if the world where Joey and others were located was on the same planet as the world of Velen.

However, at least now Leo is sure that this place where everything ends, or the royal city, is far away from Joey's world, far beyond the scope of a small galaxy, because he can't feel the mark of life on Joey at all.

The location of the secret path is very eye-catching. It is in the largest temple in the temple area. There is only one statue stored here, that is God King Gwen, who is called the incarnation of the sun. However, like other statues in the temple, the statue of God King Gwen

It was also destroyed, with only the lower body sitting on the throne still relatively intact, while the upper body had been completely smashed into pieces.

However, it is easy to see from the remaining fragments that the statue of Gwen is very large, so big that just in a sitting position, the top of its head can already touch the ceiling of more than 30 meters high.

However, something strange is that Gwen does not seem to be a human being, because the lower body remaining on the throne is not a human foot, but a ball of flame.

According to the information recorded in that book, the production of statues of gods in the royal city is very strict. Only high-level clergy are qualified to make statues of gods. Moreover, the appearance of the statues has extremely strict requirements. They must be made exactly according to the appearance of the gods. They cannot

Any personal expression is tolerated, so except for the size of the statues which can be slightly modified, the shape of each statue is the shape of its corresponding deity.

Since other gods have such strict rules, the statue of the King of Gods cannot tolerate any sloppiness. Therefore, the flames on the lower body of the statue mean that the God King Gwen does have a lower body made of flames.

And this also made Leo even more puzzled, because based on this calculation, how could this god-king with a flaming lower body have children with similar human bodies?

This is completely inconsistent with some near-theorems recorded in Leo's memory of the reproduction of life in the universe.

Leo couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that the children of the God King are not the God King, so when the eldest son makes a mistake, he will punish him so severely, and even deprive the eldest son of everything."

However, just after Leo made the malicious speculation, there were several very sudden and unusual noises around him, which startled Leo and caused him to involuntarily focus his attention on the place where the noise came from.

I saw two figures walking out from behind the statue of God King Gwen. I didn't need to think too much. From the clothes of the two figures, I could tell that they were the two knights who were guarding the White Cult nuns.

However, their condition is not very good now. The armor on their bodies is seriously damaged. Both of them have many scars. One of them even lost an arm. The worst thing is that they have all turned into living corpses.

, that is to say, they are no different from the living zombies outside, they are just slightly stronger.

Seeing that these two knights had turned into living corpses, Leo couldn't help but wonder what happened to them, and he didn't take any precautions, because it was easy to see from the test just now that living corpses would not be interested in possessing them.

The human pus disguises him as any attack, so he now thinks that the two zombie knights will not attack him.

However, he soon realized that his judgment was wrong.

I saw that just when the two living corpse knights moved Leo less than ten meters away, the two living corpse knights suddenly activated and rushed in front of Leo at an extremely fast speed. The knight swords in their hands cooperated with each other to block the block.
