Chapter 355 Stepping into the Bone Church (plus two in one)

The figure of Enos came out from the guest room.

Elena was stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes, and suspected that she was wrong.

"Elena, tell me, what happened to you?"

Princess Enos said lightly.

Her tone was unquestionable, as if a condescending monarch was giving orders.

"Ai, Your Highness Ainos... this... this, haven't I come out of the hallucination yet?"

Elena stood where she was, motionless.

"Illusion?"

Enos was puzzled.

Mira also barged in. She sniffled and smelled a bit of blood on Irina's body.

Elena sat down on the bench in a daze, and Stephanie hurried to support her.

The noble girl gasped heavily.

Enos stepped forward and gently pressed Irina's shoulder,

"Elena, what's going on? It's really me, not an illusion."

"Really, is it you? Didn't you leave the imperial capital?"

"It's a long story."

Enos said simply,

"Is it better, I look forward to your answer."

After a while, Elena nodded.

Mira leaned over and caught Elena's pale complexion in her eyes.

She smelled a breath of black mist.

"Irina, what happened to you...does it have anything to do with the original church?"

Mira asked directly.

Hearing those words, Elena's eyes were full of panic.

"How, how do you know?"

After a while, Elena nodded with difficulty,

"Yes...my father has been chanting this word since he came back from the cathedral..."

Enos raised her hand involuntarily.

Before the princess could ask questions, Mira asked first:

"What did your father encounter there? And... what do you mean by hallucinations?"

Seeing that Mira asked everything she wanted to ask, the princess fell silent and waited quietly for an answer.

Elena rubbed her hands, as if preparing for something.

After a long time, she finally spoke:

"You know, my father... is a famous church historian, and it is for this reason that he was summoned by the patriarch.

It is said... some relics seem to be found in the underground of the cathedral. The Patriarch hopes that he can judge the age of the relics...

My Lord above, my father agreed to him, and my father should not have agreed, but, but... that is the patriarch, his father's godfather. "

Mira couldn't help asking:

"What did your father... meet there?"

Elena trembled at this moment, as if facing some terrible memory.

"I, I heard when my father came back, he kept talking about the new prophet, the other side of God, such blasphemy, evil door, evil door... What a pious man my father used to be, he didn't miss a single one in ten years morning prayer...

But, but it just happened!
He was chanting all kinds of scriptures that I had never heard all day long, like he was brainwashed.

My mother couldn't take it anymore, and they quarreled. My father's eyes were red at that time, and he cursed the imperial church as a whore, usurping the position that belonged to the original church.God, please forgive him. "

Elena became more and more excited and anxious as she spoke, her neck was flushed red.

Enos and Mira looked at each other.

Then, Mira asked again:
"Elena, is there anything else? What exactly happened to your father?"

Yi Lianna held her head, she calmed down, and said after a while:
"He said he met a woman inside, the woman was dressed in black and no one could see her face."

Enos frowned.

She bit her finger falsely.

What Elena's father saw in the Bone Church was not the same as what the Mason's Guild Master saw.

The master of the stonemason's guild is talking about a person who is related to the contract of honesty.

But Elena's father met a woman.

"You keep talking."

Enos said.

Elena nodded and said softly:
"That woman... claiming to be from the future, she told my father that in this era, she has not yet been born, and her appearance now is just an illusory projection.

My father couldn't see the woman's face, she didn't look old, but her voice had magical power, 'like an angel...', these are my father's exact words, but it must not be an angel, otherwise it would be So sacrilegious!

The woman said: She serves the Great Suffering, she listens to her god, and her god is also from the future, and from the Lord. "

After saying this, Yi Lianna said some incoherent words, but they didn't have much meaning, and many of them were her subjective emotions.

Elena brings more news and more mysteries to the princess and Mira.

It seems that in the Bone Church, different people meet different people.

After Elena finished explaining these things, Ainos wanted to settle Elena down.

Now that she and Mira have concealed their whereabouts, it is naturally impossible for Elena to spread the news.

"Elena, we're going to put you under house arrest."

Enos said in a calm voice.

Elena was taken aback, blinking her eyes like a moose caught in a hunting net,

"You, are you..."

The aristocratic girl nervously suspected that Ainos was from the original church, and she was already at her wits end.

The queen smiled lightly,
"Please hear my words to the end, otherwise, everything will go off track."

After finishing speaking, Enos added:

"This is for your protection, Irina. You stay here until all is said and done. Stephanie will provide what you need."

Then, Enos glanced at Stephanie.

The latter shrugged and said helplessly:

"Okay, I will follow the orders of Her Royal Highness."

At this moment, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief, she said a little timidly:

"My mother... returned to her mother's house because of father's beating, and now only father and servants are left at home... I am a little worried about him, merciful Lord, please protect him..."

Enos spoke out at this time, and before Elena spoke, she had already made arrangements in her mind.

"Irina, although I have deceived the whole city, I can still contact my father. You don't believe in my ability, but please believe in your honorable emperor."

Even though Enos's voice was gentle, when those words fell into Elena's ears, the boulder hanging in the noble girl's heart fell down.

"Thank you, Your Highness Enos, thank you... Oh, may God bless you! The Lord will definitely bless you!"

Yi Lianna clasped her hands together, excitedly offering blessings to the princess.

Enos lowered her eyes.

May God bless...

Feel free to.

The bells of Deschanel Cathedral rang again and again.

This incomparably solemn church is the belief center of the entire empire. It seems to be located on the central axis of the Deschanel Empire. Whether it is the imperial capital full of nobles or the serfs on the land, they all know its existence. When the sun rises, the ray of morning light that presses over the silver bell tower of the church is the symbol of the entire empire.

During evening prayer, Ainos and Mira stepped into the Deschanel Cathedral.

The inside and outside of the cathedral was almost full of people, and devout true believers circled around the cathedral again and again. If it was time for festivals and ceremonies, there would be more true believers coming here, and the square streets would be blocked.

The cathedral is so prosperous that fewer people come here to pray only when the farming season is busy.

Although Ainos has concealed her whereabouts, as a powerful nobleman of the empire, the princess naturally has a way to enter the cathedral. In fact, Deschanel Cathedral has a secret path reserved for the princes, allowing them to enter the cathedral. It is possible to avoid the crowded crowd, and inside the cathedral, there are also prayer rooms or front row seats specially set up for them. These convenient methods are obtained by the princes through donations from generation to generation.

Ainos and Mila were walking in the secret passage. They had already disguised themselves and came in by presenting invitation cards. The monk who guarded the door thought they were friends of some prince, but failed to guess their real identity. identity.

Stepping into the cathedral, Mira bumped into the majestic and solemn atmosphere head-on. The flat curves were used in all aspects, and the Doric columns rose from the ground to support the majestic roof. In the depths, there is an altar for mass, and behind the altar are the four sacred scriptures of the true religion. The first of them, "The Book of Kings and Prophets", came out of the oldest Kingdom of Logos in the world, and it has gone through thousands of years. It has been passed down to this day, and it will be passed on for thousands of years.

"People say that this is the closest place to heaven."

Enos said softly.

Mira scanned the majestic and magnificent cathedral with her eyes wide open. After a while, she came back to her senses and said:
"What did you say... I didn't hear clearly."

Enos thought for a while, it wasn't important anyway, so she shook her head,

"Forget it, nothing."

Seeing Ainos answering like this, Mira didn't ask further, she asked with some expectation:
"Enos, we will pray here, shall we pray here?"

She was so excited that she asked twice.

The queen shook her head and said:
"Have you forgotten, Mira, we have more important things to do."

Mira patted her head, she almost forgot.

"So... where do we go now?"

Mira lowered her voice.

The hall is full of people, and the mass has not yet started. Everyone is making a lot of noise, exchanging theological scriptures, daily trivialities, and gossip stories... It can be said that the church is a gathering place, where people connect with each other and get close to each other. There are times when the pre- and post-Mass chatter is more enticing than the dull mass time.

Under this atmosphere, no one would notice the conversation between Ainos and Mira.

And the princess pointed Mira in a direction,
"In the past few days, Stephanie has desperately searched for clues to the Bone Church, and combined with the ledger of the Mason's Guild, the church is probably in the side hall, very far away from the hall."

Mira nodded. In Deschanel, Mira from Heaven has no connections at all, and she doesn't know where to collect clues, so she listens to Ainos for many things.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is also willing to listen to Her Royal Highness.

So, the two daughters didn't delay anymore, they set off quickly, relying on the clues in Ainos' hands, and the princess's innate sensitivity to clues, they soon found the masons' work in an inconspicuous corner of the side hall. Place.

After the two women looked at each other, they walked straight into the construction tunnel.

Inside the tunnel, there was the smell of smoke and dust everywhere. Ainos covered her nose and looked around at the scene.

The wooden frame used to support the tunnel appeared crookedly in front of it, with cracks stretching on it, and the wooden veneer fell off. At first glance, it looked like a peeling human face.

The construction site had long been sealed off by the Imperial Church, and a simple wooden door soon appeared in front of it, with a hanging sign hanging from it, which read in eye-catching red paint - no entry.

Ainos threw away the wooden sign and broke open the lock on it with the hilt of her sword.

The lock was wooden and had obviously been put on in a hurry.

Stepping into the depths of the tunnel, the smell of smoke and dust became stronger and more pungent. Mira frowned and followed Ainos in front of her.

"Do you really want to go deeper?"

Mira hesitated.

Enos nodded and said:
"Please rest assured, I will not be Alexios VI who was crushed to death by scaffolding."

Mira froze for a moment, raised her face and smiled:
"I didn't expect Enos to make a joke."

Enos replied softly:

"I'm just rarely good at it, but that doesn't mean I'm not good at it."

The brief conversation eased the tension in the hearts of the two women, and they quickened their pace.

Finally, with the sound of crisp footsteps, they walked out of the tunnel and stepped into a wide area.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a vast underground space under the cathedral."

Enos sighed, took out the flint and lit the torch that had been prepared.

The fire light lit up in the blink of an eye, and when Mira saw the scene in front of her, her heartbeat suddenly started to speed up, and goose bumps appeared.

Enos was also stunned.

In the field of vision of the two, a series of white bones were arranged in an orderly manner, standing like gray walls around the Bone Church.

Those white bones were all facing people, and their dark and empty eyes seemed to be staring at the two uninvited guests. Gusts of wind came out of nowhere, and when passing by here, there was a strange creaking sound.

The two girls took a deep breath of cold air and swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost simultaneously.

"Follow me, Mira."

Ainos held the torch and walked in front of the girl.

Mira nodded, and she followed closely behind Ainos.

They began to shuttle between the human bones, the coldness of the ground spread all over the floor, and the sound of water droplets dripping could be heard from time to time.

As the two went deeper, a thick fog floated in the depths of the church, which further obstructed the vision of the two in the dark, and like an unknown magic power, Mira almost fell from Ainos several times. Get lost around.

Mira followed Ainos, walking around the wall made of human bones. They walked for an unknown amount of time, but they still couldn't see the end.

It's like walking into an impossible maze.

Mira rubbed her hands nervously, and she followed the woman with the sword in front, bypassing another wall of human bones.

After turning the corner, the thick underground fog thinned a bit, Mira breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her face to look at Ainos in front.

Then Mira stopped.

She saw... a different head of blond hair.

Enos is not blonde!

The girl's heart rose to her throat in an instant.

Mira suddenly realized that what she had been following was not Enos, but a blond woman of unknown origin!
