Chapter 20 Skull Temple

Sigmund looked around as if nervous , but unfortunately there were no lights on the way down the elevator, and he couldn’t see anything.

“Don’t mention that thing here.”

He whispered to William in a low voice.

“Why?”

Seeing this, William lowered his voice.

The other party was silent for a while, then said.

“I’ll tell you later, but don’t tell me now.”

A few minutes later, with a “click” of the gears, the elevator stopped. A beam of orange-yellow light lit up from the hands of ten miners on the elevator, illuminating the otherwise dark mine.

The main passage of Mine Road No. 9 seems to be able to accommodate three trains running side by side, and the main passage is divided into many branches like the branches of a tree, and each branch intersection is hung. There is simple signage.

There are some spots on the stone wall of the mine. There are spots like traces in some places. Under the light of the miner’s lamp, there is a faint silver light, which is the ore containing the source silver.

“Today we are in charge of the No. 3 channel. Everyone pays attention to the brightness of their magic crystal miner’s lamp. Don’t go too deep into it alone. If the light goes out, go back on the same path. Call for help. The golden-tailed bird must be attentive at all times, and immediately notify everyone to come and gather here if something goes wrong.”

Before stepping off the elevator, Sigmund reminded everyone, and everyone responded sparsely. He groaned and walked away.

Sigmund watched everyone walk away, and then said to Colt, who had been holding him beside him.

“Your leg is injured, don’t work too hard, come in with me, and I’ll help you complete your work targets for today.”

Coltershook the head.

“No need, Sigmund Uncle, it’s just a leg injury, and it’s just a superficial wound, it won’t affect it.”

“That’s fine, you go to the mine with us today Look deeper into the road, and you’ll come too.”

He patted the teen’s head, then turned to William.

“Don’t bring this up in front of those people, they have a lot of friends who died in that accident.”

“Accident? That number seven mentioned earlier Mine collapse accident?”

William also asked simply.

“That’s a nightmare, if I say, the whole Silver Stream Mine should be locked down until the cause is found.”

Sigmund replied.

“About two months ago, we dug a bone burial in Pit No. 7.”

“Bone burial?”

“The earliest Some people claim to have seen ghosts in the mines. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon, after all, people die in the mines every year due to various accidents. The bodies that died below could not be buried in the large cemetery of Thorn City, so they often The phenomenon of ghosts appearing, and people will get used to it after more times. And every year, the church will send clergy down to organize two large-scale blessing ceremony… It’s far away, in short, someone is somewhere in the No. 7 mine road. Witnessed ghost haunts several times.”

In this world where magic and gods really exist, mortal souls will go to several places after death.

Most of them will return to the wheel of the world to wash their memories and reincarnate. And if you are a saint, or meet the conditions of certain gods, such as glorious death in battle, it is also possible to enter the Divine Kingdom of the gods you believe in and gain immortality.

Of course, if you have signed a contract with some Void King, or are targeted by Void King because of certain characteristics, the soul may also be robbed into the Moon Realm.

Leaving a ghost after death is a special state. When a person has some blessings or curses, or because his obsession is too strong, his soul may be left behind after death. Shadow stays in the present world.

Since it is an afterimage, the ghost is just a memory of the past, and all they can do is repeat the words and deeds of the past. In addition to being a highly credible evidence in court, they basically cannot have any substantive impact on the present, and even without the help of magic to stabilize their existence, they cannot stay in this world for too long. .

“You mean those ghosts were dressed in the Blackwater Kingdom period?”

William asked in surprise. According to the history that Liliana gave him, the Riel Empire was about eighteen. The Blackwater Kingdom conquered a hundred years ago. In other words, those ghosts have existed for at least 800 years.

If ghosts can exist for more than 800 years, there must be something with strong demon power as a medium.

“Yes, at first we thought that the ghosts were the resentment of the miners who died in the mine. It turned out that they were dressed in ancient clothes, similar to the Blackwater that people wear on the annual New Year’s Day. Traditional costumes from the Kingdom period are a bit like that.”

Sigmund continued.

“Although we reported it, it didn’t seem to have attracted much attention. Later, we tried to dig in the direction where the ghost appeared. Finally, after digging a layer of shale, we found A huge burial place. Tens of thousands of fossilized skulls piled up into a temple, where the ghosts I saw earlier worshiped.”

Sigmund thought of this, his expression A little trance, caught in the memory.

“A few of us had the guts to walk in, but I couldn’t persuade them. The ghosts ignored them at first, but when he got close to the skull temple, all the ghosts were gone. They all hit the skull temple, the entire No. 7 mine was shaken, and they were instantly submerged by countless skulls.”

He rubbed Colt’s head again as he spoke. hair.

“The aftermath of the earthquake caused the collapse of Mine No. 7, and the rest of us were able to run out of it, thanks to Colt and his father who lifted the broken support frame, for this reason. One of his legs was crushed and one eye was blinded by flying stones. Your father is a life saving benefactor for all of us, Colter.”

“So then there was Blocked?”

William asked.

Sigmund nod

.

“Then the duke first blocked the entire Silver Stream Mine for a month and sent people to investigate. It is said that after a thorn black guard squid was damaged, the duke sent three groups of adventurers to explore. The first two groups They didn’t come back, and the third batch is the most famous black thorn mercenary group in Thorn City. And even they have only the chief Cass Durant survived. Of course, you should have heard about what happened later, he became A lunatic who kills people.”

William recalled the warning Cass had given him when he had met earlier.

The nerubian that first appeared in Silver Stream Mine.

“Finally, the Duke ordered the closure of the No. 7 mine, and the opening of the No. 9 mine, which I thought was more difficult to mine. That’s it. This is what happened. So now , may I ask you a question?”

Sigmund stopped, looking at William.

“What is your real identity?”
