Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 189 Backlund, Williams

Above the boundless gray mist, the magnificent palace stands quietly.

Klein sat quietly in the seat that belonged to the Fool. Across from the long table with mottled copper green was the World shrouded in gray fog.

He was waiting for someone, waiting for the embers.

When he realized that someone had deliberately obscured his knowledge of the underground ruins, Klein passed this information to Ember without hesitation.

Of course, this information was reported to The Fool in the capacity of The World in the form of prayer, and then The Fool told it to Ember.

"almost."

Klein opened his pocket watch and glanced at the time. Then he extended his spirituality and touched the flame that represented the embers.

Soon, a figure appeared on one side of the long bronze table. It was Yu Jin!

Klein did not hesitate and immediately controlled the World and spoke hoarsely:

"Mr. Lover, the underground ruins I mentioned to you last time are on Williams Street. I wanted to tell you the location of the ruins as soon as the New Year, but someone secretly influenced me and made me subconsciously ignore any information about this underground ruins."

"I guess there is a shocking conspiracy hidden behind this underground ruins!"

"..."

The "prayer" just now only briefly explained the problem, so this time Klein explained it in great detail.

Yu Jin also listened carefully to the narration of the 'world' and nodded slightly:
"I'll go check right away. Where are you now?"

Klein did not hide anything and said:

"Bansi Harbor, the ancient name of this place is Binsi. According to the evil spirit, this is the residence of the descendants of the Medici family. According to the evil spirit, as long as we find Soran, Einhorn and the direct descendants of the Medici family, take 10 ml of blood from each of them, mix them with holy water, and sprinkle them into the room where the other party is, we can remove the seal..."

Klein told Yu Jin all the information that the evil spirit had told him. After all, Yu Jin was going to explore the underground ruins next, and this information might be of some help to him.

"Medici?"

Yu Jin grasped a word and asked back.

"Yes."

Klein nodded slightly and explained, "Although this family is not as prominent as the Soran and Einhorn families, it is able to stand on par with them, and its strength should not be underestimated. Its ancestor Medici should be an 'Angel King' and one of the original founders of the 'Redemption Rose'."

After a pause of one second, Klein added:
"In addition, the Medici family is suspected to have mastered the Hunter Path, which is also the Red Priest Path. In other words, the title of the Angel King should be the Red Angel or the War Angel."

"Is that so?"

Yu Jin nodded thoughtfully, but what he didn't say clearly was that the reason he asked Medici back was not because he didn't know this family, but quite the opposite - he had met the 'ancestor' of this family.

Although it was only a brief meeting, among the followers of the 'Ancient Sun God', Medici was the one who impressed him the most.

"And one more thing."

Klein hesitated for two seconds, then manipulated the World and said hoarsely, "I heard a legend on Bansi Island that was related to a secret organization called the Divine Skin Messenger..."

Klein briefly repeated the legend that Danitz had told him, and then paused before asking, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Yu Jin's expression was somewhat surprised:
"The Divine Skin Apostle?"

“The Divine Skin Messenger,” Klein corrected.

Yu Jin shook his head slightly and said:

"I only know about the Divine Skin Apostles. They are the followers of the Queen of Night Eyes."

"That's right!"

Klein's expression became serious. The Divine Skin Messengers also believed in the 'Queen of the Night Eyes'!
"What do you know about this organization?"

Klein hesitated and asked.

Although divination showed that there was no danger on Bansi Island, and the so-called "Godskin Messenger" organization had long been wiped out, there was no harm in getting more intelligence, and it was free anyway.

Yu Jin hesitated for a moment and then slowly said:

"I don't know much about them, but if I have to compare them to an organization, the members of this organization should be divided into Divine Skin Apostles and Divine Skin Nobles, who believe in the Queen of Night Eyes who controls the destined death."

Klein's eyes moved slightly and he asked:

"What about the Queen of Night Eyes?"

He didn't know what level of existence the 'Queen of Night Eyes' was. Others might subconsciously think that she should be a god of the same level as the True God. But Klein knew that in the Second Era, angels were equal to subordinate gods, so there were so many gods with different titles under the command of the Ancient Gods of the Second Era.

This 'Queen of Night Eyes' might be a true god, but she might just be an angel.

But no matter what, this organization once killed an archbishop of the Church of Storms, which means that they have at least demigod-level power! This is still a huge threat to Klein, who is currently only Sequence 6.

Yu Jin glanced at him and said calmly:
"The Queen of Night Eyes has long been dead, and her destined death has long been sealed."

"died?"

Klein was somewhat stunned. That was a god! How could he die just like that? When did he die? Could it be that those so-called divine skin messengers had been believing in a god who had long been dead? This couldn't be right!
Or did this happen in the last few hundred years? Because he had the same name as the Goddess of Night, he was killed by the Goddess of Night herself? But this is not right! Some details don't match up, and there are conflicts in time.

Yu Jin crawled out of the grave at about the same time as himself. Even though the Church of Darkness was backed by him, he would not have known the information about the "Godskin Messenger" without him actively asking. However, Yu Jin seemed to know the members of this organization quite well and seemed to have dealt with them personally.

However, judging from the trajectory of Yujin's movements since he crawled out of the grave, this is clearly impossible!
So, is there a possibility that -

Yu Jin had dealt with this organization before coming to this world, which means that those Divine Skin Apostles and the Queen of Night Eyes they believe in are not native to this world! Of course, this is just Klein's guess, he has no evidence.

But if the Queen of Night Eyes is dead, and the legend on Bansi Island is true, and the Divine Skin Messenger has been wiped out by the two major churches, then no matter how glorious this organization was in the past, it can no longer pose any threat to him.

After the two of them exchanged information, this short "meeting" came to an end.

Klein sent away the ember, remained silent for a few seconds, and decided to do another divination.

"The port of Bansi is in danger."

Klein held the pendulum and chanted the Fish Giant.

After repeating this over and over again, he opened his eyes and found that the topaz pendant was still rotating clockwise, but with a small amplitude and slow speed.

The result is the same as before, there is danger, but not great.

Klein silently put down the pendulum, wrapped himself in spirituality, and fell into the gray fog.

Back in the real world, Klein pressed the mechanical button on the toilet, put away the paper doll, and went to the washbasin next to him to wet his hands.

During this short period of time, he quickly sorted out his thoughts:

Although the divination showed no danger, it was still better to be cautious. Hide if you can, avoid if you can, and play it safe. Pulling out a tissue to wipe his hands, Klein opened the door and looked out, and saw Danitz still standing in the middle of the living room.

Outside the window, a strong gale had blew up at some point, causing the trees to sway and even the boats to sway.

When Danitz saw Klein coming out, he deliberately said in amazement:
“It really is a weather museum.”

"This reminds me of a unique custom in Bansi Port. On foggy and weather-changing nights, close your door tightly, don't go out, and don't respond to knocking sounds. Otherwise,"

Danitz deliberately said in a sinister tone, "Something bad will happen."
-
Backlund, Williams Street.

In the evening, a "gate" emitting a pale blue illusory light suddenly appeared in a quiet alley on Williams Street.

The door opened silently, and Yu Jin's figure returned to reality from the spirit world.

The entrance to the underground ruins is located in a mansion at 8 Williams Street, which once belonged to the Pound family. The so-called Pound family is actually a branch of the ancient Tudor family, who had to change their name to avoid being hunted down.

But even after changing their names, this branch still remembered the glorious past of the Tudor family and never gave up on recreating this glory. Therefore, with the determination to "make Tudor great again", they have been secretly searching for the secret ruins left by the Tudor Empire in Backlund.

The ruins under this mansion were their reward. They built an exaggerated basement under the mansion to explore the area of ​​underground ruins. Thirty or forty years ago, they found the ruins and built a secret door leading to it.

Of course, this entrance has been completely blocked——

Klein bought two pounds of explosives and completely blew up the entrance to the underground ruins.

The owner of the mansion thought that the underground ruins had fallen into disrepair, so he did not doubt its authenticity and did not try to explore the underground ruins. In order to avoid trouble, he did not tell others about the underground ruins.

With the help of the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring, Ember did not alarm anyone.

He easily sneaked into the mansion, walked through the living room, and went down the stairs to a fairly spacious basement.

There is a gray-white stone door in the corner of the basement. It was supposed to be integrated with the wall, but now it is exposed.

The ember approached the stone door, and with a slightly heavy rustling sound, it slowly pushed the door open a crack.

A gap large enough for one person to pass through.

The sunworm helmet on its head emitted a soft but dazzling light, illuminating the scene behind the door.

It was a corridor paved with dark stone slabs, with several wooden doors on both sides of the corridor, leading to rooms on both sides. They were all closed, and the marks were brand new, obviously they were replaced not long ago. Yu Jin did not try to enter the rooms on both sides of the corridor, but walked straight to the end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is also a huge double wooden door.

"Crench!"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open a crack, but the corridor behind the door had already been blocked by mud and rocks, making it difficult to pass through.

The wooden door exists only to cover up the pile of rocks and make it look less messy.

The rocks blocking the tunnel were at least ten meters thick, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass through.

But for Ember who has the teleportation ring, this is not difficult.

The ring on Yu Jin's hand emitted a pale blue and illusory light, which came and went quickly. It disappeared in just a moment, but Yu Jin's figure also disappeared with it.

When he reappeared, he was already on the other side of the rubble.

The light from the sunworm helmet dispelled the darkness around him, allowing him to see everything around him clearly.

This is a spacious hall. The area near the corridor has partially collapsed, but the area at the back remains largely intact.

The style here is the same as the corridor outside, mainly dark black stone slabs, with eight columns of the same color standing tall. Metal rods hang down from the high dome, and at the bottom are candlesticks carved into different creatures.

"Dingling bell~!"

Amid the crisp sound of bells, three tall figures wearing bright silver armor and horned helmets slowly emerged.

The moment they appeared, they understood their responsibilities and moved quickly towards the depths of the ruins with heavy steps.

At the same time, the bell in Yu Jin's hand was replaced with the Dusk Amulet given by Shiris, and a terrifying dark power gathered in his palm.

"Snapped!"

“Sizzle, sizzle~!”

The dark energy turned into a stream of light and fell to the ground in front of it, and exploded in an instant. The exploding black energy turned into countless tiny beetles. They covered the already dark ground and began to advance forward inch by inch, leaving no blind spots!
As one of the rare dark miracles, Doris's Corrosion is quite useful in this closed environment.

As the distance got closer, a platform half a meter above the ground appeared in Yujin's sight, with two huge iron-black chairs placed on the platform.

Yu Jin looked at the two chairs thoughtfully and continued forward.

Walking all the way to the end of the hall, there are seven tall and heavy black stone doors, arranged in sequence, two on the left, one in the middle, and four on the right, perfectly matching the Quaternary's pursuit of asymmetry.

Different symbols and patterns are carved on each stone door, and on the leftmost stone door, there is a dark black background, dotted with bright colors, and surrounded by a half-covered crimson circle.

That is the holy emblem of darkness, the symbol of the goddess of night.

tie!
With a heavy and rough friction sound, the black stone door slowly opened backwards.

Under the illumination of the sunworm helmet, the room behind the stone door was completely illuminated.

First there was an open space several meters long and wide, also paved with dark black stone slabs, followed by a platform nearly one meter high.

On the platform was a gigantic statue, about four or five metres long, filling almost the entire end of the room.

It was a lady with a hazy but exceptionally beautiful face. She was lying on a platform with her head supported by her right hand. She was wearing a layered yet simple black classical dress, with a circle of radiating lines under her head.

There were sparkling spots of light on the lady's dress. They were bright and clear fragments of gems, just like the starry sky under the night sky.

Against this backdrop, the circle under the lady's head looks like a full moon.

Yujin had seen this statue before, above the gray fog, in the scene that materialized in the 'world'.

This is the goddess of night.

For believers, carving the image of the goddess of night is undoubtedly a blasphemy and distortion.

But Yu Jin felt that this was probably the true image of the Goddess of Night.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that the lady's face was blurry and he couldn't see her appearance clearly.

But this is not surprising, as the people who carved these statues probably were not qualified to see the goddess's appearance clearly.

But based on her figure alone, Yu Jin was unable to identify the identity of the Goddess of Night.
