029 The seeker of eternal life
Vivian aimed at the sudden attack from the stone gate, smashing a large piece of gravel and splashing.
The attack ended, and the fairy lady stopped.
The rusty arrows on the side were still roaring, but they couldn't hurt her and Dorn a little.
Vivian observed the stone door that had been smashed into a small pit by her. After confirming that there was no problem, she waved the ebony staff twice.
Eighty! Eighty!
Seeing Vivian waving his heavy staff to smash the door, such a quantifier came to his mind inexplicably.
After a few strokes, Vivian smashed the stone door into a deep pit, and the gap in front of him also appeared at the tightly closed area between the two doors.
Taking advantage of this gap, the fairy lady successfully pushed open the seemingly thick stone door.
The passage opened, and the mechanisms on both sides also stopped shooting, and the arrows in it should have been shot.
"Hait, get it done."
Vivian placed the staff against the wall and patted the dust off the palm of his palm with satisfaction.
Donne on the side was silent throughout the whole process.
After the passage was opened, he looked at Vivian and then at the slider slabs on the ground that had not yet been untied.
Just now, it was amazing...
Sometimes, in the face of absolute power, it seems a bit irrelevant to take wisdom.
"Are we going in?" Vivian, who was standing in the front position, turned around with a clear smile on her face.
At one moment, Dorn felt that if the fairy lady had a long tail, she would definitely be slamming now...
...
Behind the stone gate is a still narrow passage.
"There is probably the tomb of Earl Winfon in front of me." Dorn thought to himself.
When passing through the stone gate, he also turned on his system and checked the map in the email again.
Judging from the map, it seems that the opening point of this [Concerto Forest] is located deep in this passage.
"If the opening point of the copy of [Concerto Forest] is in the tomb of the skinned count? If this is true, then the count is really persistent in treating the remains..."
There was always an old, rotten and moldy smell inside the passage. It was like something that decayed for a long time at the end of the passage.
The more you go, the more obvious the smell becomes.
"That count must have been dead for a long time, right? Why does it have such a strong rotten smell here?" Dorn was a little puzzled.
After walking a few more steps forward, the fairy lady next to her pulled Dorn's cuff: "Don, look at the wall."
Through the light provided by [Lighting], you can see rows of strange murals carved on the walls on both sides of the passage.
The lines are very sloppy and the graphics are also very rough. There is no way the murals in the tomb passage should look like, but instead they are more like children's casual graffiti.
The content of the graffiti seems abstract, but the content depicted is not difficult to understand.
In some places, the same random text carving comments are also coordinated with.
"This mural seems to be narrating." Dorn raised his left hand, pointing [Illumination], and approached the mural with Vivian to look at it.
The story recorded by the graffiti mural is not difficult to understand. After a brief interpretation of the two, they successfully interpreted the large rows of patterns on both sides of the passage and connected them together.
“In a long time, or maybe not too long ago.
The territory under the Qima Snow Mountain was led by an earl named Wen Feng.
This lord was moody and tyrannical.
He loves skinning and punishment, and even enjoys the pain of peeling off the skin of living people and listening to the pain of the punished person.
The residents of the territory lived under his brutal rule and dared not speak out.
They only dare to call this cruel lord the Count of Skinned…”
After looking at the first few scribbled murals, combined with some short text annotations, the content is roughly like this.
"It's similar to the story told by Grandma Elian." Vivian muttered to herself when she saw this.
She stretched out a hand to touch the mural in front of her. The content of the mural was-
A villain with a high hat stood in front of a cross crucifix with a knife, with a simple but creepy smile on his lips.
Another villain with a bare chest and exposed breasts was tied to the punishment rack, and his body was "bloody" with sloppy but vivid strokes.
Vivian's fingertips touched the painting on the wall, only conveying the rough, uneven grainy feeling.
"Well... weird."
She quickly withdrew her hand.
It is obviously a very simple painting, which is a very normal touch and touch, but after feeling it for a long time, I always feel that this painting is conveying a strange uneasy feeling to people.
Vivian pressed a little closer to Dorn and quietly reached out to hold Dorn's hem.
The two of them continued to look at the following content on the mural—
"Earl Winfon lived through his youth so violently and happily, entering middle age.
During this period, the white-haired count suddenly became uninterested in anything.
Even the skinning criminal law that he loved to watch when he was young now seems to be lacking in interest.
The Count was thinking about one thing, something that perhaps everyone had thought about.
[I have endless wealth, groups of servants, and the supreme strength of my territory. I lived a very satisfying first half of my life. But how can I continue my life longer?]
That's how the Count thought.
The Count who has gone through most of his life wants to live longer.
Or, further, he wants to pursue eternal life.
The middle-aged Earl Wenfeng found a completely different life pursuit from her youth.
But is there really a way to immortality in the world... "
Dorn frowned and finished reading the second part of the mural.
The amount of information seems to be very large.
First of all, the content in this mural really mentions things related to "eternal life".
"In other words, the [secret of eternal life] left by the outsider who died at the hands of the heart of the earth element before his death was not groundless."
"However, the skinned count even built a cemetery, which means he did not find a way to immortality in the end..."
Dorn thought, touching his chin.
In addition, there was another thing that made him very concerned about.
Who left these scribbled murals in the tomb passage?
This random abstract portrayal does not have any serious feeling, and does not seem to be carved by the tomb owner before his lifetime.
Moreover, the occasionally brief handwriting in the murals is gaze with casual words.
In the vocabulary, you can even feel the attitude of the person who engraved these words toward Earl Winfon - contempt, joke, mockery, and sarcastic.
"So, someone who looked down on Earl Wenfeng entered the passage of the tomb chamber and carved these graffiti-like paintings?"
Dorn guessed this way.
But if that's the case, what exactly does this person want?
