Chapter 548: Inside the Church
Afterwards, the shadow clones scattered everywhere sent news of their deaths one by one. Most of them died silently. The scenes seen in the memories of a few were exactly the same as the previous two. This was understandable in the copy. Most of the NPCs and monsters in it had no intelligence and only relied on instinct to attack invaders.
But what is certain is that there must be many secrets in it, and many secrets should be able to be explored from the copy.
Zhou Ning took a deep breath, tried to relax, and slowly observed the situation around him, trying to gather as much useful information as possible. Even if he had to die, he had to do it in a meaningful way.
There was no sun or moon in the sky, only darkness and endless fog. The entrance to the town was not far ahead. Zhou Ning did not hesitate and walked straight over and stopped for a moment.
There was a plaque hanging above the entrance with three characters written in unfamiliar characters, which Zhou Ning could not recognize with his current reading level.
He asked Jasmine in his heart, "Do you recognize the words above?"
Jasmine was probably still angry about how Zhou Ning had killed her reflection with his ultimate move. After a while, she said unhappily, "I know. This is a variant of the ancient elven language. It's the name of a town, and the phonetic translation is Hume Town."
Hume Town? Actually, there is a word called Hume in the French language, spelled as hume, which means night. So it seems to have some meaning.
Zhou Ning once again sent out several clones to explore the area, and he himself stepped into the town without hesitation.
But upon entering the town, he was struck by a dizzying whisper, leaving him dazed and even slightly shaken. However, having faced several gods head-on, he naturally had some resistance to such whispers. He simply stood still for a moment, shook off the influence of the whispers, and continued to explore inside.
It was no different from the scene I had seen outside before. In this town, the black or gray stone buildings had become houses of varying sizes, which really looked like the lost elf town in the mirror!
But it wasn't until I got closer that I realized that the buildings here were actually slightly different from those in the Lost Elf Town.
The buildings vary in size. Some have ceilings close to twelve meters, which is almost eight times Jinse's height. It is obvious that they are not for ordinary elves to live in. Some are like ordinary houses, only twice Jinse's height.
Jasmine whispered, "This is consistent with certain historical records. In ancient times, elves and giants were allies and lived together for a long time. Later, for unknown reasons, the giants split into two. One group remained in the Elf Kingdom, while the other chose to leave and establish their own kingdom, forming an alliance with werewolves. This later became the United Kingdom of Byron Giants and Werewolves."
This is another blank part in the background story of the Apocalypse game, and this is also the most attractive part of Apocalypse. Its history has never been lost, but hidden in every corner, which requires players to continue to explore.
Referring to his previous experience in the Lost Elf Ancestral Land, this also proved that the scene before him was not the same place as the Lost Elf Ancestral Land in the mirror, but more like a projection of an ancient elven town.
Even in a dungeon, the various stacked gray buildings still give people a creepy feeling.
Zhou Ning took a deep breath and began to explore the scenes inside each building together with his shadow clone. These buildings were arranged quite compactly. Although they looked a bit old and dilapidated on the surface, the scenes inside seemed to be frozen in time.
When Zhou Ning walked into an alchemy shop, the alchemy products inside were still in good condition. A nearby crucible even contained residual liquid from a potion that hadn't been fully distilled. It seemed the alchemist had suddenly left while distilling the potion.
If it weren't for the fact that you can't buy it for free in the copy, it would probably be a considerable income.
After coming out of the alchemy shop, Zhou Ning entered the nearby engineering shop and bar one after another. The situation was almost the same. During this period, several clones died one after another. They all died silently in the fog and in a relatively dark environment. However, this time they didn't even see the person who killed them.
Zhou Ning didn't care, continuing to explore with his shadow clones. As the memories of his clones gradually returned, he gradually pieced together the entire town: a town shrouded in mist, abandoned by time, ancient and decaying. Judging by the strange deaths of some of his clones, besides the old man in clerical attire and the unknown being, there was a strong possibility that some hidden monster lurked in the darkness and mist.
Unconsciously, Zhou Ning had gradually entered the depths of the misty town. Not far ahead, on the high slope to the northwest, was a tall tower made of gray-black bricks. This should be the same church as the one in the Lost Elf Town.
Similarly, in the courtyard stands a four or five meter high statue of a goddess.
Similar to the statues he had seen before, the goddess statue before him had long ears and a beautiful face. She held a bow and arrow intricately carved with patterns, and a silver moonbird perched on her shoulder. It was clearly an elven goddess statue. However, as Zhou Ning passed through the mist and approached, he discovered that behind the statue, back to back, was another statue: a beautiful human woman in a long robe, with a sunbird perched on her shoulder.
"Damn it!" Jasmine couldn't help but blurt out a curse word. Zhou Ning had never expected the discovery here. There was actually an extremely rare twin statue in this place.
Zhou Ning could sense the faint shock coming from Jasmine, because there was an iron rule in mysticism that all gods believed in were unique. The polytheism in Chinese mythology could not hold true in Apocalypse. Otherwise, the confusion of faith would not only fail to gain a response from the gods, but it would also easily attract the attention of evil gods due to aimless sacrifices, leading to madness and loss of control.
Only certain secret organizations that believe in evil gods could have dual beliefs, but the question is, how could the Elf Goddess and the Sun Goddess be evil gods? It seems that this place has far more secrets than he imagined.
Whether it was because he was in a dungeon, or because this was just a projection of an ancient town, Zhou Ning didn't sense any trace of divinity in the two statues. He turned his gaze away from the statues, reached out and pushed open the church door, then couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Because the elves worship darkness, there is no light inside the church, making it look heavy and dim.
The only thing lighting up the interior of the church is a candle on the altar, which seems to be frozen in time and is still lit today.
The statue on the altar had been destroyed, but it looked like a statue of the elven goddess. There were signs of destruction around it, and there were pools of blood on the ground, which was pungent. In the corner sat a monster with eight hands, four legs, and covered with tumors. He wore a captain's hat on his head and a loose and tattered captain's coat.
Zhou Ning frowned and subconsciously restrained his breathing to avoid irritating him, but after a moment he realized that the monster was dead.
He seemed to have heard of this scene as well...
After a brief recollection, he remembered the source of the familiar feeling.
He once heard Richie Burke say that many years ago, their captain, the famous pirate "treasure expert" Sidney, took Richie Burke and others to explore the Sea of Misty Sea.
They repeated the emperor's sailing route in the foggy sea and found the first batch of treasures left by the emperor on a small island, including some treasures and a sword, something called a lucky clover, and a treasure map leading to the legendary great treasure.
With the help of the lucky clover, they successfully traversed the turbulent currents deep within the Sea of Fog and arrived at an unknown island. There, they not only found numerous treasures but also ancient ruins that appeared to belong to ancient elves. They only explored the outer reaches of the ruins and found a book. Not long after, Captain Sidney went mad and transformed into a terrifying monster. Rich Burke and First Mate Aaron Ingersoll barely escaped with the help of the lucky clover.
So, is it possible that the ruins are connected to this area? Perhaps it's a projection? Seeing this scene, Zhou Ning vaguely felt that his guess was correct. And now, the treasure map was hidden on his body.
