Unknown Knight
Chapter 184 Useless Artifact
With Bestur's intrusive opening remarks and the countless skeletons in the bay, James was not prepared to be polite to them and directly said to the fifth elder:
"Fifth Elder, right? We are here to look for Mr. Velen. Please ask him to come out and meet us."
"I'm sorry, my guest. I don't know what you are talking about. There is no one called Velen here. We are just ascetics on the island, and we have no connection with the outside world."
The fifth elder said indifferently that if Axel was sober, he would definitely punch him in the face, because the expression on his face was simply blasphemy against Buddha.
Similarly, the rough man from the grassland, Bestur, couldn't stand him even more. He interpreted the Fifth Elder's behavior as you look down on me and don't respect me. I have demonstrated my strength so much, but you don't even raise your eyelids when talking to us. This is really insulting.
Angry, he took a step forward, grabbed the collar of the Fifth Elder, and lifted up this skeleton, which weighed no more than 70 kilograms, like a chicken. He shook his hands and slapped him twice, causing the corners of the elder's mouth to bleed, his teeth to become loose, and stars to appear in his eyes. He almost fainted.
Or a young ascetic monk nearby couldn't stand this stimulation, he fell to the ground and cried:
"Let the Fifth Elder go. He has a firm belief and won't tell anyone. I'll take you there."
Bestur dropped the fifth elder in his hand, picked up the child who was at most twelve or thirteen years old, and said to him with a vicious look on his face:
"You'd better behave yourself and lead the way, or I'll kill them all!"
The little ascetic nodded vigorously and hurriedly, and Bestur let him go.
The ascetic monks outside also heard the noise and returned to the yard, holding farm tools in their hands and seemed to want to resist. But when they saw Ai Su and Ran Ying holding their bows and arrows, they immediately dropped the tools in their hands and stood still obediently.
Bestur said sarcastically:
"No wonder your Dark God Cult cannot prosper. You are all so cowardly and weak. I can destroy your entire cult by myself. Ha."
At this time, an ascetic monk who helped the fifth elder to stand up still had some backbone and said to him unconvincedly:
"We, the Fifth Elders, are only responsible for the study of doctrine. Usually, we just copy books and organize and compile religious materials. Bullying us is nothing. I hope you can still be so arrogant when you meet the subordinates of the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder."
Bestur smiled contemptuously at his words and wanted to step forward to teach him a lesson, but James pulled him back, shook his head at him, and pointed to the sky:
"Time is running out. Let's find Mr. Velen first. I don't want to spend the night in this damn place."
Bestur then gave up in disappointment, and several people drove all the ascetics into a relatively sturdy room. Bestur tied the door with ropes and moved a large stone to prop it up. Then he took the little ascetic to the fortress prison where Velen was imprisoned.
Yes, Velen is now imprisoned in the prison of the island fortress. After Bestur's intimidation, the little monk basically told them everything he knew. James asked him puzzledly:
"Isn't Mr. Velen the carrier of your religion? Did he commit any crime? Why is he locked up?"
“I heard from the Fifth Elder that all the former carriers were locked up when they were about to die. I don’t know the specific reason. I am just responsible for delivering meals to Velen Carrier every day.
Wei Lun Cheng Zai is very kind to me. He tells me interesting stories every time he brings me food. Are you his good friends who are here to rescue him?"
The little guy's sudden question stunned James. Seeing that he was as thin as a bean sprout, his head looked particularly large, and his big eyes were particularly smart, James couldn't help rubbing his head and said:
"Yes, we are friends of Mr. Velen, and we are here to rescue him."
"Oh, that's great. Velen Zaizheng is a good man and shouldn't be locked up here. Master, are there really a lot of delicious food and fun things outside the island?"
The little monk's rapid train of thought made James at a loss as to how to answer him.
When Aix heard about the delicious food, he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, which contained three chicken legs. He stuffed one into his mouth, gave one to Bestur, and gave the remaining one to the little monk.
It seemed that the little monk was eating a chicken leg for the first time. He tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth, his face showing happiness and satisfaction as white as paper. James looked at his childish and innocent face and thought that he must be a miserable child. He must have lived on the island since he was born.
As they were talking, they arrived at the prison where Velen was imprisoned. Before they even got there, the little ascetic happily shouted to the end of the corridor:
"Grandpa Velen, your friends are here to save you."
An old voice came from the cell, coughing and saying:
"Ahem, little Tata, you're joking with grandpa again. What friends does grandpa have?"
It was only when they arrived at the prison door that the old and frail Wei Lun was startled. He squinted his dim eyes and looked at it, and asked in confusion:
"Are you James?"
"Yes, old sir, I'm James."
The two of them are old friends regardless of age difference and close friends who appreciate each other, but this situation is really sad.
After little Tata opened the cell door, James stepped forward and helped Velen to sit down on a relatively clean stone step in the fortress.
Velen came up and asked James how he found this place. James shyly took out his notebook and handed it to him. Velen rubbed the notebook for a long time before he sighed and said:
"Ah, it's just as I guessed. Moros wasn't found?"
James waited for a while, and seeing that Velen had no intention of saying anything, and knowing that the issue of carrying capacity might involve his personal privacy, he did not ask any more questions.
However, the dark artifact was related to his master's recovery, so he could not afford to be too cautious, so he said to Velen:
"Old man, do you still have the dark artifact?"
"The Dark Artifact? Don't you believe in its function? Now it's just a useless thing. Why are you asking about it?"
Velen asked in confusion.
After hearing what Velen said, James felt discouraged. He thought, could it be that the dark artifact was damaged? Was he running all the way here in vain? He replied anxiously:
"I saw the record of this artifact in an ancient book, and then I remembered what you said before. Mainly, my lord, Lord Aix, suffered a serious brain injury, so I hoped that the artifact could cure his illness, so I came to you."
"Oh, it was possible before, but now the 'energy' of the artifact is gone. It's almost the same as an ordinary jar, and it's useless."
"Didn't they say that the artifact could cure all diseases in the world if it was brought to the altar? How come it's suddenly useless?"
James asked unwillingly.
