There shouldn't be any poison gas or anything like that, but it's unclear whether there are any hidden weapons or not.

Chapter 127 Ancient Tomb 2

There was nothing much to say. The other two watched outside while Thomas went in by himself.

The tomb was more spacious than expected.

And... it feels like this is more of a basement than a tomb.

After entering, there is a stone hall. Due to excavation and damage, there are scattered debris all over the ground, many of which are messy fragments.

These fragments should be some reliefs set on the four walls.

Thomas pieced the fragments together at random and combined them with the undamaged reliefs to roughly determine that the main content of the reliefs was many symbols and patterns full of religious meanings.

Man and the world, man and God.

This is not a funeral style at all, it is more like something that should appear in places like churches, temples and shrines.

After searching the stone hall, Thomas continued forward.

In the spiritual field sensing, many objects that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye are scanned one by one.

There were no dangerous quicksand traps or gravity traps. In fact, as mentioned before, this place looked less like a tomb and more like a crypt for people to live in.

There are two small stone chambers on both sides, which also do not contain coffins or corpses. They look more like small rooms.

This layout looks familiar... If I had to describe it, it's like the rooms in a temple where clergy live.

Thomas had seen many churches and understood this kind of layout.

Damn, this is a secret temple?

If the stone hall just now is considered the front hall, and this is the wing room for clergy to live in, then the main hall of the temple is in front.

This isn't a trap... but a real small temple?

Thomas was surprised. He drew his sword first and then walked towards the main hall in front.

But this warning is unnecessary because there is nothing here either.

There is only a small statue on a high place.

Slightly taller than humans.

The statue is a seated male with his palms outstretched, holding something.

Thomas walked around and made sure there was nothing here except a bunch of incomprehensible reliefs. Then he turned back and found some stones to stand on so that he could see what the statue's palm was holding.

It was a crystal skull.

Thomas happened to meet the crystal skull's eyes.

In an instant, a magnificent and strange flame ignited in the crystal skull's eye sockets. The flames seemed like a window, and Thomas saw an incredible land in the distance. It seemed like the tomb of the gods, and countless laws were born and destroyed in the vision.

Here lies the Burning Land, blanketed in the flames of destruction, as if even space itself were ablaze. There lies the Frosty Silence, permeated by a chilling cold that freezes time. Here lies the Wasteland of Death, shrouded in the shadow of the Grim Reaper; there lies the Nameless Sword Tomb, where countless flying swords whiz by, their auras crisscrossing. Here lies the prophetic bubble that seems to peer into the future, and there lies the thread of fate that holds the promise of capturing one's own destiny...

Thomas blinked.

The flames in the crystal skull's eye sockets disappeared, and the cemetery of the gods, which was visible through the flames as a window, was naturally no longer visible. Everything seemed like a short dream, or a fantasy that flashed through Thomas's mind.

Thomas reached out, took off the crystal skull, and then carefully wrapped it in a piece of cloth.

There's something fishy about this thing!

There's nothing else worth noting around here... Wait, there is!

There are some inscriptions behind the statue.

It wasn't any writing that Thomas knew of, but it seemed to be an article?

Fortunately, Thomas came well prepared this time, so he took out his tools and directly copied the words on the statue.

Go back and take it to the Grand Master or Gandalf, they should know it.

Thomas took the spoils and started walking out.

I don’t know if this crystal skull is dangerous... I have to give it a try.

As he was thinking this, he heard a voice.

"I didn't expect that I would gain something by coming here by chance!" A female voice came from the entrance of the tomb.

A third party arrived, and, unsurprisingly, confronted the Profane Knights guarding outside the tomb (underground temple).

The woman's voice was filled with surprise.

"You were able to discover such a secret arrangement, so you must be the lackeys of the Christian Church! Unfortunately... you're unlucky to have run into me!"

Then there was the sound of metal clashing and the collision of weapons from both sides.

Thomas whistled softly. For some reason, he thought of a senior schoolmate in his past life who walked into the examination room with arrogance and then left in a disheveled state.

Some people are just so unlucky that even if all the questions are multiple-choice questions where they can be answered with ease, they still can't answer a single question correctly except for the one about filling in their name.

Thomas continued walking out, but after only a few steps, he heard a scream. A woman's voice.

"How is this possible!" The voice was shocked and angry. Not surprisingly, he suffered a loss in the battle.

The Blasphemous Knight is a master who has at least reached the peak of the elite level. There are probably not many people in the world who can fight him without suffering any loss.

"Watch out!" Then there was another chaotic sound, mainly the sound of long boots hitting the ground.

"Now!" the woman's voice returned to its previous tone. "Put the knife down!"

Those who can loudly order the enemy to lay down their weapons either have an unquestionable advantage or have hostages.

Thomas could imagine that the voice's owner had a powerful card in hand. He figured it was most likely that they were holding Eva hostage.

But...will this work?

He couldn't help but lament for this woman in his heart. Why do women want to take shortcuts so much?

There are two purposes for coming here. The first is to take away the "bait", but secondly, of course it would be best to take away the "fish hook" as well.

Thomas quickened his pace.

Then, before he had taken a few steps away, the woman let out a second scream.

The screams stopped abruptly, as if someone had pinched the bird's mouth, abruptly cutting off its chirping.

Thomas walked out of the tomb exit.

The Blasphemous Knight stood still, a black-haired woman appeared on the ground, and Eva was looking over and over at a dagger in her hand.

There was a certain aura emanating from the sword, which was hard to discern due to the distance, but it seemed to be a magical weapon?

“Dead?” Thomas asked.

"Knocked unconscious," the Blasphemous Knight said simply. "One wrist was broken."

Thomas looked at the woman's deformed arm, then at the dagger in Eva's hand, and roughly guessed what had happened.

There's not much to say. There's no water source nearby and the winter snow has melted away.

Now all I have to do is wait patiently for this woman to wake up.

The dagger that looked like a magical weapon was put away by Eva, but Thomas ignored it completely.

This is someone else's spoils of war.

He had no need for a dagger anyway.

Chapter 128 Ancient Tomb 3

About half an hour later, the unconscious woman slowly opened her eyes.

She was simply tied to a big tree with a rope.

She was not frightened, nor did she even struggle. She just tried her hands and found the pain unbearable. She knew that her hands were broken and she could not untie the simple rope, so she stopped moving.

"Who are you?" she asked in a deep voice, looking at Thomas squatting in front of her.

Miss, are you mistaken about your identity? Are you qualified to ask me this now?

Thomas complained in his heart.

"Of course, it's the Christian lackey you mentioned," Thomas replied. "Are you... a follower of Marlowit?"

"It's Marlowit," the woman said disdainfully. "You blasphemer..."

Her voice was cut off by the scraping sound of a blade being unsheathed as Thomas slowly drew the dagger from his belt.

"To put it simply, I have two questions," Thomas said. "The first is, where is your base? And the second is," he pulled out the bag containing the crystal skull, "what is this thing?"

"Our bases are everywhere! Humph! Marlowet's dream connects us together. You'd better let me go immediately, otherwise..."

Thomas nodded. "What's this?" he said, pointing to the crystal skull.

"I don't know," the woman replied.

“You’ve never been in here?” Thomas asked.

The crystal skull is not hidden and can be easily found by anyone who has entered the underground temple.

"I haven't been here," the woman replied.

"I see... Then why did you come here?" Thomas turned around and put the crystal skull away.

"My superiors sent me here."

Thomas suddenly thrust the dagger, aiming for the woman's head. She instinctively tilted her head to avoid it, but Thomas's move was a feint. With a flick of his hand, the dagger stabbed directly in the direction the woman was trying to avoid. However, he managed to retract the force in time, and the blade of the dagger only grazed the woman's skin, causing no real damage.

There was only fear on the woman's face.

This...is the wrong reaction!

A mid-level warrior who has been tempered enough will not miss such an easily see-through attack.

There is a difference between practicing and not practicing. For example, this woman obviously has not practiced, at least not thoroughly.

Thomas turned around and looked at the Blasphemous Knight. "How is her combat ability?"

"Normally." The Blasphemy Knight was very frugal with his words. In other words, not difficult to deal with?

Thomas turned around and saw the anger in the woman's eyes that said, "Just wait!"

"Who's your boss?"

"I don't know. I'm just a pawn. I don't know the answer to your questions," the woman replied.

"Oh," Thomas checked the dagger in his hand, turning it over and over.

"Wait! What do you want to do? Don't kill me! If I die, Marlowet's curse will definitely..."

Thomas stood up, made room, and said to the Blasphemous Knight not far behind him, "I'm done."

The Blasphemous Knight nodded, then swung his hand, and the Damascus sword slashed out a silver light.

Dense silver light swept past, and the nameless woman fell to the ground, apparently breathing out but not in.

"That's a really cool move," Thomas said. "Does it have a name?"

Not only was the attack powerful, but most importantly, it looked effortless, as if the Blasphemy Knight could perform it at will.

"Silver Judgment." The Blasphemous Knight replied.

After walking two steps, Thomas suddenly slapped his head because he remembered those tomb robbers.

One of them was hit by the Silver Judgment, but it seemed that the hit was not in the vital part.

Thomas remembered that although bullets were lethal, many people on the battlefield were simply knocked unconscious or in shock, not truly dead. Given enough time, they would wake up.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that one of them was just unconscious.

Speaking of which, the power of this Silver Judgment is in no way inferior to the submachine gun in the previous life.

It may not be as good as a rifle, but it can definitely be compared with a submachine gun.

Thomas pinched his philtrum—perhaps because the other person had been unconscious for a long time, he woke up unexpectedly.

"You...you guys..." The man looked at Thomas in front of him in shock.

Thomas didn't say anything. He had already held the crystal skull in his hand to block the tomb robbers.
