In a sense, the Church of Reflection is not only a meeting place for successive popes, but also a museum in itself.
The busts of the church rulers displayed inside are of great historical significance, not to mention the magic stone sigils that can review major events in history through holographic images.
If it is used as a scenic spot for people to visit in the future, the tickets will definitely sell very hot.
It's just that if Roland wants to go in, he has to spend a lot of time. Although the Reflection Church is located under the old Holy City Church, it is completely mirrored, but the two are not connected. The slate and clay in the middle are more than ten meters thick, and they are filled with God's Punishment Stones scatteredly. Whether it is excavated by manpower or directly traversed by a magic ark, it is a very troublesome thing.
After asking Isabella for details, he decided to enter through the underground passage of the monastery.
After all, these passages were unimpeded before, but they were artificially destroyed and blocked, but it was not a big problem for the Magic Ark. More importantly, the abandoned passage will not be affected by the divine stone. Compared with the privy agency whose entire cave is shrouded in the influence of the divine stone vein, the former is naturally much safer and more secure.
In addition, in order to avoid getting lost, he also asked Sylvie to scan it in advance to determine the best route for this sightseeing trip.
Thanks to these preparations, the witches also got the news. On the day of departure, Roland found a group of people gathered outside the tent, among which the little girl Lightning was the most excited.
"Your Majesty, how could you not call me on such an important expedition!" She pouted as if she had been greatly wronged, "Am I not your chief explorer!"
"Cuckoo! Adventure!" Maisie helped.
"Uh... This is just a sightseeing tour. There is no danger in the place where the Pope is enthroned."
"Then I want to go too... okay?" the little girl asked with her eyes flashing.
There was no way he could refuse.
With the first, naturally there will be later ones.
"Your Majesty, take me with you," Hummingbird whispered, "I can help you with your luggage."
"As a member of the quest, how could I miss such a crucial moment, are you right, Your Majesty?" It was Agatha who spoke.
"I'm going where Sister Anna goes!" The crisp voice came from Nana.
"It would be troublesome if the infected body of the evil plague was stored in this underground building, didn't you say that the place with poor ventilation is the most likely to breed the disease?" Lily said solemnly.
"If it's the Queen of Starfall, I'd like to see her again..." Not only the witch, but even "No. 76" Phyllis came over.
"Wait, isn't she your Taquila's enemy?" Roland asked curiously.
"But she's also a worthy leader. Without Lord Akalis, we wouldn't be able to hold out when differences arise."
… In the end, almost everyone got their wish on the ride to the Church of the Reflection.
Originally, Roland only planned to bring Anna, Nightingale, Sylvie, and Isabella. Now, due to the huge increase in the number of participants, Maggie had to transport them back and forth several times before bringing everyone into the abandoned tunnel.
Although these intricate tunnels have been closed for a long time, they still maintain their intact appearance. There is no sign of water seepage, and it has not been eroded by plant roots. Except for a lot of dust, it travels very smoothly.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group successfully reached the upper area of the Reflection Church. Then, under the guidance of Isabella, the visiting group soon came to a magnificent hall and said that its grandeur is not how spacious it is, but its dome is almost invisible at a glance. A row of sturdy stone pillars stood on each side of the gate, also straight up, hidden in the darkness.
In other words, its layer height is much larger than its width.
Roland walked into the hall and immediately felt a strong sense of crampedness, as if he was walking on a cliff. Although the walls on both sides are illuminated by glowing magic stones, the faint yellow light is only enough to illuminate a very small area at the bottom.
"This is the prayer room, and the portraits of the previous popes are hung on the walls of the hall." Isabella explained as she walked, "On the day of the handover, O'Brien took Mayne here for a trip, but the archbishop did not Unexpectedly, besides him, O'Brien also brought another person."
"That person is Zero." Roland said solemnly.
"Well, it stands to reason that the pure will never be allowed to step into this place. The witches who infuse the talismans with magic power are all selected from the transformants. Once they see those illusions, they will soon be used in the transformation ceremony of the God's Punishment Army. ." Isabella nodded, "From the moment Zero arrived here, she became one of the candidates for the Pope."
"What a disgusting approach," Nightingale said angrily, not knowing whether she was talking about the transformation ceremony or Zero.
Isabella wisely shut her mouth.
When they reached the end of the hall, a full-body portrait occupying the entire wall appeared in front of everyone. Unlike the dimly lit Daozhong, the frame is surrounded by luminous stones, and the soft light will bring out every detail of the painting vividly.
Although Roland had heard Agatha and others mention the appearance of the Witch King many times, when he saw the portrait, he still had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Akalis kept her sword in both hands, her eyes were level, as if she was staring at the unknown future, but she seemed to be looking at him.
Any word to describe her appearance is slightly lacking, softness and perseverance, ice and flame seem to be perfectly integrated in her body, and it is hard to forget once you have seen it once. If only his facial features were outstanding, he wouldn't be so surprised. In Akalis, the aura of the leader rushed to the face, almost as if she was a born god, and as long as she was by her side, she could usher in an inevitable victory.
"What a beautiful woman," Anna said with emotion, "fortunately she's gone now."
Hello, what does the second half of the sentence mean? Roland patted her head lightly, even if Akalis was still alive, could he still be fascinated by him
But after looking at Nightingale beside him, he decided not to say these words.
He must have a clear conscience, but what if... what if he was given some "untrue" or "half-truth" judgment by that guy? That was really indisputable.
After admiring the face of the Queen of Starfall, the group walked into the illusion room hidden behind the giant painting.
"There are a total of nine magic stone sigils here, and I haven't seen all of them. It seems that some of them are inherited from a longer time." Isabella put her hand on the magic stone, "If you want to see it, I'll activate each one."
"Let's start then," Roland nodded.
The surroundings became pitch black in an instant.
