I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 345 344. My ancestor has been to this place before

When the two of them ran away like crazy, Lloyd felt deeply for the first time that the [Embodiment] system had an unparalleled absolute advantage.

At the same time, I also deeply understood why the housekeeper was so brave when he was young, fighting against the sky and the earth every day, and still lived to such an old age.

The escape speed of the [Realization] system is definitely unmatched by other systems...

I saw Lloyd and little Olga, one letting the [Projection] wrap around his whole body, and the other letting his ancestor carry him, as fast as if they were wearing speed shoes, as if they could even surpass lightning.

The power hidden in the darkness is just about to move, and these two guys have already escaped from the underground area...

Then, little Olga asked her ancestor to take the lead, charging all the way, knocking away all the broken walls blocking the road, and forcibly opening up the shortest straight path.

By the time that invisible mysterious power began to become truly active and spread, these two guys had already escaped who knows how far away...

If Lloyd hadn't felt that it was almost done and signaled that he could stop, the two of them could have rushed all the way back to the town below like this...

The two of them looked back again, and sure enough they saw the scene that little Olga had guessed before.

The ruins of the building that had been knocked away by the ancestors have regained their vitality and energy, and have begun to return to their original positions, continuing to maintain their original postures and angles without any change.

It is exactly the same as the way the skeleton was restored before.

Huh? Wait, expiration date?

But I have no idea about this, so how can I eliminate it? Or to master it?

Lloyd couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and then sat on the floor, sorting out the current clues, and discussing the next ideas with little Olga.

Lloyd sighed with lingering fear.

"Let me think about it."

Maybe it's some kind of unique, 'one-click restoration' type [miracle]?

So whether it's the wind and snow that haven't stopped for two months, or the skeleton uncle who keeps sending letters, it's all because of this restoration that a certain 'solidification' effect is achieved?

This power of restoration is not even limited to this area, including the expiration date on the letter. Is it possible that it is also part of the 'restoration'?

If the two of them didn't escape in time, I'm afraid they would really be 'one-click restored', right?

"It turns out that this is the real horror of this ghost place... Fortunately, you had some sudden ideas before..."

He looked at the skills one by one, and finally stopped at the column of special skills and saw the [Incomplete Miracle]

Lloyd looked at the ancient ruins that had returned to peace. As the sky got darker, it was gradually shrouded in night. Although it looked empty, there was a hidden horror that was incomprehensible...

Little Olga also sat down next to Lloyd, and then magically took out exquisite pastries and delicious dry food from her pocket. She even set up a small coffee stove and brewed coffee while saying with lingering fear:

The unknown is truly scary...

The 'holy relic' of a krypton player, that's really different...

Although this skill is still marked in gray font for the time being, indicating that it cannot be used yet, Lloyd has a vague feeling that the dangerous power lingering in the ruins is probably related to this kind of ancient miraculous magic.

"The real mystery here should be the terrifying 'reduction' from before. It is extremely secretive and weird, and because of the influence of the distorting forces in the air, it interferes with inspiration and intuition, making it difficult for people to detect the incoming danger. …”

He was obviously still confused and could only hope that Lloyd had been exposed to such things in Mizkatok.

And all the traces left by Lloyd and the two were swept away, as if they had never been there.

"Yes, I have never heard of such a strange power. It is really difficult to understand. What is it? A ritual left from the glorious era? Or is it some kind of sealed artifact that has not been contained? Do you have any questions about this? Any clue?"

Little Olga also breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"Actually, I didn't realize this at all at first, and even took it a little lightly, but luckily I still had my family emblem on me. It reminded me at the critical moment that danger was approaching, and I suddenly thought of this kind of thing. "

Hiltina must have encouraged me to come to this hellish place just for this power, right?

Lloyd obviously didn't have a clue at the moment, so he had to open the panel and count the cards he had on hand.

Lloyd first made some bold assumptions, and then thought of the unknown expiration date, and immediately an even bolder and unreasonable association came to his mind.

Is there a possibility that the skeleton who sent the letter did not intend to deceive people and then murder them, but hoped that someone would save him, or that someone would solve the incident?

That skeleton is a soul that has been locked here forever, trying to find relief in this way?

Could it be that what it originally wanted to write was a letter asking for help? Just because of the resentment during his lifetime, as well as the influence of distortion and reduction, the content of the letter became 'uncle's legacy'?

This can explain why high-ranking powerful people also receive this letter, and why the contents of the letter are all consistent, and why the letter does not have any power that can interfere with other people's thinking. However, even if my speculation is correct, it will not be of effective help to the current situation?

When Lloyd thought of this, he scratched his head helplessly, and had no choice but to change his thinking. He first used [Space Control] to roughly restore the three-dimensional map of the underground area in his mind, observed it carefully, and then said:

"The structure and layout of these underground buildings look very special, like pieces of cheese stacked together in irregular ways."

"Huh? What kind of irregularity is it specifically? Can you demonstrate it?"

Little Olga asked curiously, and actually took out a large pile of cheese blocks wrapped in oil paper from her pocket, and motioned to Lloyd to show them to her in detail.

"Uh...you bring so much food with you?"

"Of course, even in such a difficult area, I cannot lower my quality of life, so I always carry at least five pairs of space storage bags with me, all of which are specialties from the Order... Do you want almonds for your coffee? ?”

"Okay, thank you, the sweeter the better."

Lloyd said casually, then picked up the cheese blocks and built an irregular square pile structure on the spot. It looked a bit like an earthen stove made of bricks, but it was not as neat as an earthen stove, and the layout was slightly messy. There is a specially vacant part in the middle, like a stove.

This is the general structural distribution of the underground area. I really wonder if Party B who originally designed this place took the wrong medicine. How did this messy and ugly layout come about? Didn't the construction party scold me at the beginning?

But when little Olga saw this strange structure, her eyes widened and she quickly exclaimed:

"This structure... I seem to have seen it in my ancestor's biography?"

Lloyd couldn't help but froze, and turned to look at half of his ancestors who were helping the two of them resist the wind and snow.

"It's not him now, it's when he was alive. Just wait, I'll recall it carefully."

Little Olga said, frowning and starting to think hard, while her hands began to keep throwing sugar cubes and cheese into the coffee pot.

It wasn't until the whole pot of coffee was almost turning into syrup that he came back to his senses and said quickly:

"I remembered that my ancestor mentioned in the family biography that he once selected a [Brilliant Gold]. Since you are from Mizkatok, you should know what [Brilliant Gold] is, right?

That was the strongest man who stood at the pinnacle of that era. To the mortals below, he was like a god!

Therefore, our ancestors have always been proud of talking about this matter, and even described the process in more detail...

At that time, he seemed to have taken part in some kind of assessment or selection? The location was a magnificent fortress that he described as something he had never seen before, but the specific selection process took place in the underground area.

He also described the fortress and the underground area as extremely complicated, like an underground maze. Until he finally left, he was unable to get a full picture of the place.

The entire selection process is to defeat the opponents you meet in one room after another. It is not necessarily a competition in terms of force, but also wisdom, willpower, insight, etc. The assessment is very detailed and complicated.

In comparison, personal combat effectiveness is very insignificant...

There were many people participating in the selection, including some well-known 'stars' at the time. However, the ancestor was just a young man who had just made a name for himself, but he was not afraid of any challenges and passed all the way, defeating many opponents.

It's a pity that my ancestor failed to win in the end. His artistic appreciation was not very good. In the end, he lost to his opponent in a painting appreciation session and was eliminated...

There was no way, our ancestors were still very young back then, our family was still very weak, and our foundation and accumulation in all aspects were insufficient...

But even so, the [Brilliant Gold] who invited him over also gave him sufficient rewards and benefits. Our family was able to become prosperous in the first place because of the gift of this [Brilliant Gold]. Unfortunately, it is regrettable that the old man Until my ancestor passed away, he was never able to meet the strong man who helped him a lot..."

After little Olga finished speaking, she pointed to the empty area circled in the middle of the pile of cheese and said:

"If the ancestor wins to the end, he should be able to go to the middle and see the [Brilliant Gold]... Uh... Why did I add so much sugar to this coffee? No, no, I have to change the pot."

"No, no, no, give me a drink, give me a drink."

Lloyd grabbed the pot of syrup without any concern, added some ketchup and hot sauce to it, and then dipped it into the white bread in his hand to eat.

Little Olga no longer bothered to complain about his weird taste, and continued to ask:

"So you said, could this be the place where our ancestors came to?"

"Compared to this... I'm more curious about what kind of person the strong man wants to select when he summons so many people and conducts various selections?"

Lloyd asked in a low voice.

Could it be that... you are choosing a 'saint'?

And then think of a worse possibility...

Is there really a [Brilliant Gold] deep in the center of this ruins?
