Chapter 464 The reward for crossing time and space
Lynch didn’t like this ending, but maybe this is life, it’s really helpless.
Officer Natalie’s original reminder was indeed based on experience. You really shouldn’t be emotionally attached to the people in your memories.
When he heard the ending of the story, even though he had been mentally prepared, there was still an inexplicable sourness in his heart. Even his nose felt sour. He raised his head hard to suppress the weakness that was about to be revealed.
Sighing deeply and trying to spit out the sourness in his chest, Lin Qi looked at the mural on the wall with great emotion. Just like many years later, when I heard the news of the death of an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, I felt regretful, reluctant, but helpless. All that was left was endless sadness.
The countess next to her has red eyes, and the police officer also looks sad. The memories of what she just experienced are still in front of her eyes. Unfortunately... maybe this is life.
There was an oppressive silence in the cave. Nikolai looked at the three listeners strangely, but did not disturb their remembrance. After a long time, the three were freed from their sorrow. Lynch let out a long sigh and whispered:
"Unexpectedly, she was the one who told the tribe to catch up and fight against Mordiggian, and specifically told him not to wake up. Is this so that we can find their tribe? But...how could this happen?"< br>
The countess sniffed and whispered softly: "Perhaps under the dual effects of the distortion of the dreamland and the time power of the billions of radiant lords, the fragments of memories were passed back to the past, and were received by her who was on the verge of... . She left that entrustment in order to fulfill her promise. At that time, she still remembered her promise to us. ”
"It seems like this." Lin Qi's heart moved, looking at Elder Nicklei with a strange expression, and asked thoughtfully, "In addition to her last words, she should have left something else." < br>
"How could you..." The old ghoul's terrifying face was full of human shock and disbelief. He pointed at Lin Qi rudely and was stunned for a long time before his expression gradually loosened and his voice was clear. Suddenly he said, "That's it, I understand, I understand, very powerful friend, hey, that's it, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Muttering to himself a bit glumly, the old man The ghoul turned around and left in a hurry, leaving the three of them standing there with surprised expressions on their faces. They could only pass the time by looking at the murals. The murals were messy, complicated, and very difficult to understand. Fortunately, Lynch's archeology was not complete yet. I returned it to the professor. I still have some knowledge about totem analysis and so on, so I can barely analyze a little bit of the content.
Basically, it is the historical events of this tribe, how to compete with the aboriginal people of Middle-earth, how to gain a foothold in this mountainous area, how to ensure Mordiggian's sleep through sacrifice, how to meet the ancestors of the Valente family, The two parties formed a strategic partnership. Especially the last two stick figures with the blaster Mordiggian. Even though their hearts were still sad, the three of them still couldn't help laughing.
It’s so ugly.
However, seeing his own image appear on the murals of other tribes, Lin Qi felt a subtle feeling that it was not worth taking such a big risk.
Nikolai rode on horseback for more than ten minutes before taking a few people to another cave, which was at least the size of two basketball courts. It was filled with all kinds of ancient items. It looked like a warehouse at first glance.
But as soon as they entered, the three of them were shocked. The warehouse was in a mess, like a parking lot destroyed by a tornado. The most appropriate description Lynch could think of was that everything was not where it should be. . And several strange ghouls were squatting on the side, huffing and puffing, sticking out their tongues and breathing heavily, as if they had just fought with Mordiggian for thirty minutes. The only good thing was that the three of them saw a familiar stone box on the stone in the corner of the warehouse.
In fact, I am not very familiar with it. What I saw back then was a stone box with strange patterns carved on the surface, which looked simple and thick, full of mystery and seriousness. Instead of the current one with its surface covered with old mud, as if it had just come from an ancient tomb. Planed stepping stones.
Elder Nikolai explained: "I saw it once when I was the successor of the high priest. It was a bit difficult to find, but I finally found it. This was the last thing passed down by the ancestor. She said that maybe some time in the future Someone will take it, so we must keep it well."
Shua, the three people's eyes all became strange. They looked at the messy environment, the messy stone box, and then looked at Nikolai. Elder, his eyes wandered between the three.
There was actually a look of shame on the wolf's face, and it sounded like a baby crying. The old ghoul picked his claws and said awkwardly:
"I made sure to take good care of it at the beginning, but after a few After changing the high priest several times over a hundred years, no one came to pick it up. The ancestors thought that no one would come again, so they gradually forgot about it. The ancestors said that you should be the one to pick it up. , Who would have thought that it would take two epochs for you to come here? I was afraid I couldn’t find it just now, but luckily I didn’t throw it away, no, I mean it’s still well preserved.”
Said Nikolai. The elder held the box in both hands and handed it over: "This is the relic of the ancestors. You are the last friends of the ancestors, so I leave it to you for safekeeping. Please keep it."
Did you really get it?
Lin Qi took a deep breath and couldn't believe it until he took it in his hand. He wiped the loose soil on it and could still vaguely see what it looked like the day before yesterday.
“We just asked one question and didn’t even tell you what happened, so you believed it so easily?” Lynch asked doubtfully, “Aren’t you afraid that I’m lying to you?”
"There are only a few people who know the stories of our ancestors, and even fewer people know that this relic exists, and everyone has direct access to it, so the fact that you know its existence speaks for itself." Nikolai The elder stared at Lynch and Miss Diana and said, "More importantly, if it were someone else, I would definitely doubt it, but you are different. You are the ones who have personally ended our mission of thousands of years. It is you who have ended the entrustment of our ancestors. Isn’t it reasonable for you to inherit the relic? There are no coincidences in the mysterious world, and there are invisible connections between causes and results. Although I can’t understand the connection, at least there is no need to doubt your authenticity.”
The judgment of high-level bosses is different from ordinary people. Lin Qi nodded lightly and said: "Then we will accept it. Do you know what is inside?"
"I don't. I haven't lived long enough." The old ghoul said with a bitter smile, "A high priest once opened it, and then he died and took away dozens of people. Since then, all the high priests have not dared to do it again. Curious.”
It seems curiosity not only kills cats, but dogs can’t escape either.
Lin Qi nodded, put the box back on the stone, pressed the hidden button of the box skillfully, and opened the box that he finally got.
