Chapter 478 West ← Myrcella? →East
Following Aigalang and the Guards Saint Gunners who led the way, Horn and his party came to the rock wall.
Next to the water-seeping rock crevice, there is a zigzag-shaped stone step that goes back and forth all the way up.
The sound of water drops and footsteps merged together, and the firelight and fluorescence played a symphony, causing the light and shadow on everyone's faces to sway left and right.
As the blue light of the fluorescent moss became more and more intensive, Horn and others finally stepped onto the artificial platform beside the palace.
Werther was the first to run towards the palace not far away. He was running around holding a torch, and the timidity he had felt during the Witcher incident seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"This is the Shepherd clan, no, no, no..."
"Oh, yes, yes, the style of Norn Evil God, no, no, where do they have this technology."
“Yes, right?”
“What kind of building is this?”
Listening to Werther's collapsed scream, Horn led Jeanne to the door of the palace.
In front of him was a bronze door engraved with a spiral horn pattern. Horn let go of Jeanne's hand, stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed, but did not push.
"My Majesty, this bronze door has been rusted together for too long and cannot be opened from this side. We can only enter through the hole in the wall."
Finger brushed Horn walked over the exposed stones of the collapsed wall, his back rubbing against the wall, but he didn't feel much of the rough texture.
"Your Majesty, this is the mural we found."
Walking into the palace, before Horn could take a good look at the ancient palace, Rafael stood beside a row of neat columns and pointed in the opposite direction.
As the rosin torches were lit one by one, a long corridor measuring 30 meters in length appeared in the pungent smoke, leading into the darkness.
In the dim firelight, a scroll-like mural did appear on one side of the marble corridor with the shrine.
This mural is quite dark, but the color has a simple warm undertone.
Under the smooth and winding lines, little people walk among the exquisite buildings, vegetation and mountains, and all the details are lifelike.
Frescoes in the Ancient Ayr period were generally made of red ocher, blue copper and lead yellow, and usually began to fade away in three to four hundred years.
But I don’t know what technology was used in the mural in front of me, and the color has not faded much. Horn can even see clearly the blurry expression of the villain on the mural.
"Your Majesty, let me take you to see a strange place..."
"No need." Horn carefully observed the first mural, "We walked through the corridor, just in time Let’s review the contents of the Gospels.”
Perhaps due to space limitations, this mural does not start from the creation of the world, but jumps directly to the second chapter of the Gospel, the Acts of Preaching.
This chapter mainly tells about the birth, life, studies and enlightenment of Myrcella.
The content on the mural is completely consistent with what is recorded in the Gospel, including that the Holy Lord was expelled from Lieri City, the capital of the Ayr Empire, and then went to Limode, a large city in the south, to preach, and was arrested by the local governor.
Arrived in front of this mural, Horn's pupils suddenly tightened. At this place, the mural finally appeared to be inconsistent with the "Gospel".
The description of the decapitation of Myrcella in the Gospels is that after Myrcella had her head cut off, she reached out to lift her head and put it back on her neck.
In an instant, flesh and blood solidified, the Holy Lord was resurrected and killed the evil city of Limode.
In this mural, after the little ax man chops off the head of the blond man, the headless corpse on the ground stands up exactly like in the Gospels.
But the difference is that in the next painting, the headless corpse just waved its chains and escaped from the city, leaving only the blond man's head in place!
What does it mean? Turn around and run?
Stepping on the cold and damp floor, Horn continued to move forward along the marble shrine column, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
In the previous painting, the headless corpse of the blond man escaped, but in this painting there is no follow-up.
Since there was no background, Horn could only see the blond man standing inexplicably on the round table.
Although the face of the little governor wearing a red tube hat was blurred, Horn could still see his fear.
In the next painting, the situation changed again. As if the misunderstanding was resolved, the blond man drove the carriage away from Limode in such a graceful manner.
No, then how did you connect your head?
Horn touched the circular scar on his neck. At least he still has a "flying head barbarian". Grandma, how did you come back to life?
"Is there a part missing in the middle?" Armand also found something abnormal. He always felt that something was missing in the middle. "Why can't it be connected?"
"No, this is a scroll painting. Look. It seems casual, but the requirements for the painting are strict." Putting his head next to the mural, Witte, who has experienced a lot of art training, stared, "There is no trace of repainting or missing paintings."
It's not repainting or painting. Lack of paintings? Horn didn't say anything, and just continued to move forward along the corridor.
According to the Gospel, the following story is that after Myrcella escaped from Li Mode, she felt that there were too many sins in the Western Continent, and under the guidance of wise men, she went to the Eastern Continent to preach.
This is the chapter of "Gospel: Eastern Tour". In this chapter, it is probably that Myrcella immediately increased in number, killing and killing the natives of the Eastern Continent!
The dwarves were driven to the high mountains by Myrcella. The dragons that originally ruled the eastern continent were all killed by Myrcella in the Longmian Mountains. The evil god was even killed and fled to the grassland.
With this achievement, the poorer and purer Aiel people of the Eastern Continent quickly converted to the Messiah religion.
At that time, Horn felt something was wrong after reading it, because the "Gospels" has always been more reasoning than narrative, more preaching than killing.
Under normal circumstances, Myrcella is still very restrained, and usually does not follow the teachings to learn boxing skills.
Why is it that "Eastern Tour" doesn't even explain the truth and just kills people?
In the church's interpretation, this is understood to mean that the only way to eliminate sinful pagans is to kill them on a large scale.
But the content of the current mural shows that the little blond man representing Myrcella did not go eastward after leaving Limode, but walked westward!
That is the core hinterland of the empire.
Different from Sha Sha Sha in "Eastern Tour", this blond villain rarely does anything, preaching, treating diseases, and recruiting followers along the way.
The content of the three paintings is to control floods, droughts and bandits, and to conquer three followers and countless new believers...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Following Horn, Lafay Er asked looking at Horn who suddenly stopped.
Looking at the content on the mural, the muscles between Horn's eyebrows twitched.
The drowning blue-haired woman, the Green Ranger cutting down the tree, the laughing red-nosed clown.
These three followers with haloes on the back of their heads cannot match up with any saint in history, but they can match up with the three evil gods in "The Gospel: Crossing the Sea"!
The Banshee in the Lake, the Green Man, and the Clown God represent lust, plague, and greed respectively.
On the way Myrcella led the remnants back east, the three evil gods blocked the immigrants under the orders of the devil. The two sides battled with wits and courage, and finally were killed one by one by Myrcella.
These three evil gods are also considered to be the origins of witches, ogres, and vampires.
But in this mural, the blond villain Myrcella and her three mortal enemies are actually preaching around a campfire.
The dark corridor became quiet, except for the sound of everyone’s breathing.
Looking at the mural in front of her, Jeanne felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Unlike Horn, the saint's grandson who has money in his hands every day and sits on the tip of the Holy Lord's tongue, Jeanna is much more pious. This has not changed even if she becomes a witch.
After experiencing so much, especially the existence of a certain saint grandson, Jeanne thought that even if something outrageous happened, she would not be surprised.
But the scenes of murals in front of her still made her unable to close her mouth.
This is ridiculous.
Armand, who came out of the monastery and knew the Gospels extremely well, was dumbfounded and couldn't speak a word.
"The Holy Lord is above, the Holy Lord is above... This is simply blasphemy!"
Holding the cross in their hands, several senior believers trembled and began to pray on the spot.
Following Horn's footsteps, the group's mood became increasingly heavy. Fortunately, the subsequent murals returned to normal.
After arriving at the bustling hinterland of the empire with three followers, the blond man began to preach to the poor and teach them farming and breathing methods.
This scene is strikingly similar to the last section of "Eastern Patrol". This is how Myrcella in the book developed her own power in the Eastern Continent.
Then there is the classic plot. The governor of the empire once again captured Myrcella and sent her to the imperial capital of Yongxia City.
At this point, the mural is magically connected to the last section of "Eastern Tour".
If Horn's prediction is correct, the subsequent part of the mural is the longest chapter of the biography of Messila in the "Post-Gospel", the sea crossing chapter.
“What’s behind?” When the dim colors and silky lines no longer appeared on the wall, Horn, who was fascinated by it, couldn’t help but be stunned.
"The back, why is there no back?"
