Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth blood-stained letterhead(1/2)
As soon as he entered the ground, a pungent smell of blood hit his nostrils, ten times farther than on the ground.
Alyssa, who was walking in front, suddenly let out an "ah" sound, and subconsciously took a step back, almost bumping into Fang Plover. Fang Plover quickly supported her with his hands, and at the same time looked over Miss Nightingale's shoulder, using the rosin torch to flicker the light and dark.
When Guang Guang saw the scene in front of him, his stomach immediately turned.
In the darkness, the cellar seemed a little cramped.
In this narrow space, a five-pointed star array painted with blood in the center of the cellar is particularly eye-catching. Although the thick blood has dried up to a dense black this morning, it still gives people a sense of evil and uneasiness.
Feeling. On the top of the five-pointed star, scattered are some fragments that originally belonged to a certain part of the human body——
A head with closed eyes was placed right in front of the entrance. The head was pale, with drooped eyelids sunken inward, like a skeleton. The mouth was wide open, and two streaks of blood and tears ran down across it. It had already been gouged out.
eyes and tongue.
There were some tallow candles placed next to the broken pieces. The candles had long been burned out. Farther away, there were mountains of corpses piled up in the corners of the room. Some were missing arms and legs, or they had been decapitated and their heads were missing. Blood was flowing all over the floor and gray walls.
There was a thick layer of black spots on top, squirming outside the firelight. When you looked closer, you could see that it was a thick layer of flying insects.
There is a white river of flesh flowing between the flesh and blood, and there are countless maggots going in and out between the bones. When Tianlan saw this scene, his face suddenly turned pale, and he retreated three times in a row.
Step, as if someone had punched him in the face, he retched and retched.
She didn't even dare to make a sound loudly, she just hesitated and said:
"I, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I went up first."
Then he pulled Jita and ran back the same way without looking back.
Luo Yu looked up, then turned back to look at the others apologetically, and then chased after them. Fang Yu didn't stop the three of them. After all, Parker and Xiangxi had come down once before, so there was no danger down here.
It doesn't take that many people.
However, although the Papalar man had been here once before, he still huddled outside and did not dare to come in at this moment. He was not worried about the disgusting stench, but the countless insects in the cellar.
Everyone else's expressions were not very good. It's not like they had never seen tragic scenes. The hell-like scene in Dolifen's sea of fire was not much better than here.
But it was an illusion after all, and it was still far different from experiencing it personally.
Only Aitila looked at this scene with a slightly calm expression. She turned back and said to everyone:
"This is a typical 'blind follower' ritual."
"They summoned Descartes here to mass-produce 'Blood Worms', and the 'Blood Servant' is one of the experimental subjects." She turned back and looked at the cellar with an uneasy expression: "They
It seems that the 'experiment' did not go well, otherwise there would not have been so many corpses left, but the previous 'Servant of Blood' shows that the other party did not completely fail."
"They may have finally succeeded in the experiment before the transfer. Although there were not many samples, the other party still prepared usable 'blood worms'."
"What does the 'Blind Follower' want to do?" Alyssa asked in a low voice with a somewhat uneasy voice: "Using bloodworms to create panic in Tansnir?"
Etila shook her head: "Historically, they do have such a record." She did not say a subtext, but everyone understood her shaking head. Maybe a 'blind follower' would do that, but it is not necessarily the case.
It's in Tansnier.
"These people are really unreasonable..." Alyssa couldn't help shaking her head uneasily: "What are they doing this for?"
"What's even more unreasonable is," Luo Hao replied from the side: "Maybe there are still selected people involved."
"How can this be?"
"Isn't it strange that you have forgotten the origins of those slaves?"
Alyssa closed her mouth with a very ugly expression.
Abed also seemed a little silent on the side, and then he raised his head and said: "I must report this matter to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"That's natural," Fang Pulou then looked back from below with the same ugly expression, and replied, "But don't rush for a while, let's investigate this place first, Mr. Abed."
The latter listened, nodded slightly, and agreed.
At this time, Luo Hao put the big shield aside and said to everyone: "Do we want to go in and take a look?"
Alyssa looked into the cellar with disgust.
Fang Yu reached out to stop Sylvide, who was about to enter the cellar, and whispered: "Wait for me outside."
The ship officer lady raised her head and smiled at him tenderly, without saying a word to object.
Fang Yucai said to the elf lady on the side: "Miss Attila, please take care of Sylvide and Tangtang."
Miss Elf looked at him quietly and nodded. If she might encounter any trouble, it would only be in the cellar. She understood that Fang Plover's request for her to stay was actually just an excuse. As a believer in nature, she
I'm really not used to such situations.
But then she said: "Wait a minute, Ed."
Then he reached behind his neck, took off the pendant with the Holy Emblem of Aimea, and hung it on Fang Plover's heart.
"It's okay now." After doing all this, she nodded.
Fang Yu held the Holy Emblem a little unclearly, and vaguely felt Amaya's eyes returning to him again. He was a little surprised, but he did not hesitate, and just turned around and said to the other people: "Luo
Hao, Parker, Mr. Abed, let’s go in and take a look.”
Parker shivered with fright, hugged the doorpost and shrank back, screaming: "I won't go in!"
It's a pity that it's not up to him.
At Fang Yu's signal, Luo Hao grabbed the guy and dragged him in.
Abed seemed very calm. The hostel just lowered his head and pondered for a while, seeming to be still thinking about the 'blood worm'. But now after listening to Fang Plover's instructions, he nodded and followed Luo Luo.
Hao also walked in.
It's strange to say.
Just as the three of them entered the cellar, the densely packed flying insects on the wall flew away with a 'buzz', but just as they were about to fly towards the door, the Aimea Holy Emblem on Fang Plover's chest suddenly emitted a ray of light.
The burning light comes.
Wherever the light passed, the flying insects on the ground and walls scattered away as if they were avoiding the plague, fearing that they would not be able to escape.
A large area of the cellar was immediately freed up.
Seeing this scene, Parker, who was being held by Luo Hao, stopped struggling and stared with dark eyes, unable to help but marvel.
Fang Yu lowered his head and looked at the Holy Emblem on his chest in surprise. He couldn't help but think that belief in divine power is really useful - should he also find a god to believe in? For example, the alchemist's patron, Anji.
That's a good choice.
But it seems that my cousin Tang Xin is also a priest and a believer of Mirela, but it seems that apart from mastering some superficial healing spells, the goddess of life has never performed any miracles on her.
Is there such a big difference between hypocrites and true believers?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back.
After all, the two had lived together for more than ten years. Tang Xin instantly understood what her stupid cousin meant, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? I'm just a new pastor, but I don't have the ability to let Mirela
Madam, please take care of me."
Sylvide smiled slightly and said with a pun: "In fact, there are not many believers who are trusted by Ms. Amaya like Miss Attila."
Fang Yu was startled after hearing this, and felt in his heart that this was really the case.
And he looked at Miss Elf, who still looked calm and didn't care about their discussion.
But the discussion was a discussion, so he turned around and walked into the cellar.
There was not much space in the cellar. The four of them covered their mouths and noses with their hands, resisting the discomfort caused by the stench, and walked all the way to the other end. There were some shelves stacked there, filled with bottles and cans, and a few snow-white
Skulls, bloody hand saws, pliers and other tools.
The four of them rummaged through it separately to see if there were any useful clues left behind. However, Papalar's sharp eyes spotted a blood-stained silver cup on the shelf, and he took a step forward.
, stood up on tiptoes and took it off the shelf.
After he took the cup back, before he could wipe it with his sleeve, he saw a dark millipede crawling out of the cup.
This horrifying scene immediately frightened the little guy to let out a miserable scream. He threw the cup hard and let it fall to the ground with a clang. At the same time, he stepped back and hit the cabinet at the back.
The cabinet creaked and tilted, and it was about to fall on him.
Fortunately, Fang Plover had quick hands and quick eyes, and he used his hand to hold up the cabinet from falling. However, the empty door of the cabinet opened, and the glassware inside fell out like raindrops, breaking to pieces on the floor.
Fang Yu lowered his head and looked at these glassware, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Those are actually a set of alchemical vessels. In fact, they are things like retorts, which are mainly used for distillation, condensation and condensation. In Aitaria, except for alchemists and pharmacists, they will not
Who else would use this kind of thing?
This shows that there is at least one alchemist who has 'worked' here. But as for whether it is the wandering alchemist, it can only be said that in his mind at this moment, the other party is obviously very suspicious.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the other party took the initiative to expose it and made such a big move of taking away Inhanz Type 4 from the 'Sand House'.
In fact, if it hadn't been for that incident, Princess Rupert might not have been so anxious to rush back from Bargo. What was the purpose of the other party exposing her whereabouts? Was it an unintentional move, or was it intentional to lure Princess Rupert here?
place?
Thinking of this, he was not even in the mood to argue with Parker. He just pushed the cabinet back, then turned back to Abed and asked:
"By the way, Mr. Abed, when you were searching here, did you find any traces of the Inhanz IV that was lost in the Sand House?"
Abed listened and shook his head at him.
To be continued...
