In the early morning, Gal, who was used to getting up early and running in the morning, wanted to cry but had no tears when facing a crooked note in the living room, basically few words were spelled correctly.
The information above is very simple:
Grandma, Uncle Gal,
Good morning, we went to explore the Temple and the Underground with John, and we went home at noon, because Mike—my stupid brother didn't prepare enough food. In addition, John said that there are no man-eating monsters in the underground palace, and promised to take us to the spooky museum when he came out-although he didn't promise to know the way, but don't worry, we will have a good time.

One big scourge, with two small scourges... Gal's face was numb, and his temples throbbed with pain.
etc! Archbishop Al is still in the underground palace, and he hasn't had time to inform him about the ancient priest!
Gal slapped his forehead, picked up his coat, and ran out without looking back.
Temple, underground palace.
I do not know when a new magic circle was hung next to the enchantment core, and the two echoed each other. The heart of the abyss jackal was taken out intact, placed in a crystal, and hung high on the front of the magic circle. above.
Aldo sat quietly beside the coffin with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, it would almost make people think that he had died again—the whole tomb was so silent that it was maddeningly silent.
At this moment, there was a soft "click" sound from the corner of the wall. Aldo opened his eyes, and found a small, unobtrusive magic circle at the corner of the wall emitting a tiny light, which disappeared immediately.
This is someone who broke into the underground palace and accidentally touched a small defensive circle.
Aldo frowned, then relieved.
In their time, the underground palace was not so mysterious, and people would come in to maintain the magic circle from time to time. Students who were exceptionally outstanding in the magic circle were also allowed to come to the underground palace to observe and study when they were about to graduate, but for children who had just entered school It is still a forbidden area, and only some naughty ghosts dare to come in for "exploration".
However, although the children are very curious, their destructive power is limited, and generally they will not cause too serious consequences. Aldo knows that the current archbishop, Mr. Goode, is in the temple at this moment, and these trivial matters can be left to him.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden throbbing in his heart, Aldo frowned, and looked around the formation in the entire tomb, nothing unusual. Suddenly, he trembled all over, and lowered his head in disbelief. The rose flower pinned to his neckline withered at a rapid speed—the delicate petals rolled up, revealing the dark veins inside, revealing A dying old man came.
The dry petals fell one by one, leaving only a bare core and stalk, which fell into his hand.
It was as if something had hit him hard in the heart.
"Impossible, this... this is impossible..." The man almost staggered to his feet, and the stone door of the tomb quickly opened in front of him.
Who's coming in? Where is he? Where is he? !
There was silence in the underground palace, as if the person who touched the defensive magic circle just now did not exist. Aldo ran frantically through every secret passage and visited every magic circle. The heart that had been silent for a thousand years seemed to suddenly Being woken up with a bowl of cold water splashed on his head, and then, when he was at his most sane, thrusting a thorny thorn straight through it... the pain was numb to him.
I don't know how long I have been looking for, but I found nothing. Aldo slumped to his knees on the ground.
Why give me this illusion
It's been so many years... No matter how unforgivable mistakes he made back then, isn't the punishment for so many years not enough
The cruelest thing in the world is to hand a tiny hope in front of a desperate man, and then smash it with his own hands.
As early as when Carlos was an ordinary apprentice in the temple, the forbidden area of the underground palace was like his own back garden to him. come out.
It's all about Mike being misbehaved, he didn't watch, Mike stepped into a small defensive circle, Carlos quickly got him out by the neck: "Be careful, what did I say? with?"
Mike shrank his neck: "Follow you, don't rush in."
"This is the underground palace, you will be miserable if the archbishop finds out!" Carlos threatened him.
Unexpectedly, Mike sniffled without fear at all: "I'm not a child, so I'm not afraid."
Carlos scowled—this expression was a little difficult for him: "Then you don't want to enter the temple to study in the future, do you?"
Mike froze, obediently stuffed his little paw into Carlos's hand, and walked along with his ridiculous little backpack on his back.
In fact, there is really nothing interesting in the underground palace except for all kinds of magic circles—especially for these two little boys who have to struggle for a long time even to write a note. After walking for a while, Lily felt boring and didn't want to walk anymore. Opening his arms for a hug, he put his arms around Carlos' neck and said, "John, shall we go to the eerie museum?"
This posed a problem for Carlos. For him, taking a taxi from Mid-Levels to the temple early in the morning with his two children was already a remarkable achievement.
Although he is familiar with the temple, it is only limited to places like the underground palace that have not been remodeled for a thousand years. Tourists come and go outside, and the rest has been diverted more than once. Who knows where the "ghost museum" is
But he couldn't bear to reject the limp little girl in his arms.
"Okay." Carlos thought for a while, and finally compromised, "Let's find a way out, go to the front hall."
He estimated that the part of the temple that is open to tourists is probably the outer hall that was worshiped by visitors from all over the world thousands of years ago, and the places where they settled down. He took the two children through the underground palace based on his memory, and came to Aldo without knowing it. tomb.
"Um?"
what is this? newly built? Carlos groped on the stone gate for a while, found the magic circle controlling the stone gate, and carefully input a little energy.
The stone door in front of them was slowly pulled up, and the vast energy of the enchantment core and the sea-like blue immediately poured into the eyes of the three people.
"Wow—" Mike and Lily exclaimed in unison.
Mike couldn't help but take a small step forward, trying to reach out to catch the blue light, but Carlos grabbed it back.
"Don't move baby," said the serious man, who had the power to obey. Mischievous Mike was stunned, and obediently stopped, "This is not a place where children can run around."
The energy radiated from the big magic circle is like an ocean that fills the world, and it is inextricably linked with the entire temple and the whole world. Judging from the pattern, it should be a kind of defensive magic circle, but it reveals There was some kind of deep fighting intent, full of oppressive feeling.
There was a crystal floating on the small circle next to it, and Carlos immediately discovered that there was a heart of an abyss jackal sealed there, and some kind of energy in it was being continuously transferred from the small circle to the big circle, as if to provide Nutrients are the same.
Could it be... has something to do with the legendary enchantment
Immediately, Carlos' eyes fell to the ground, and he found an empty crystal coffin parked there, the coffin lid was lifted to one side, and there was a withered flower beside it, as if someone was still here just now.
Is it Mr. Goode? Carlos thought, is this the sword-wielding priest
No one was there, it was very likely that when Mike was repairing the magic circle, he was alarmed by the defensive magic circle accidentally touched by Mike, so he probably went to search the underground palace.
Carlos carefully closed the stone door, scratched his hair, felt like he was in trouble, picked up a baby with a guilty conscience, and slipped out of a secret passage next to him without a sound.
Just as they left, Aldo walked out of another secret passage in a daze. Carlos, who was already hiding, heard the sound of the stone door behind him, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He squeezed Mike's little face and said in a low voice: "Almost Get found out, little villain."
Mike was still immersed in his disappointment: "What? Is Santa Claus going to catch us?"
"Santa Claus lives at the North Pole." Carlos also picked him up, walked out of the secret passage, and corrected the listless little Mike, "There are only terrible archbishops and even more terrible priests in the underground palace, if you disturb their work , when you go home, your little butt will definitely be beaten into a rotten persimmon by your grandma."
What? ! Mike clutched his little ass pitifully, and suddenly felt that the Archbishop and Mr. Priest were terrible-they would sue his grandma!
Just when Carlos was about to escape with the two little ghosts without anyone noticing, and then went to the front hall outside to finish work and go home, Gal rushed over anxiously and told the Archbishop Mr. Goode about it.
"Childlike... Well, I have to say, that Your Excellency is really childlike," Mr. Goode sighed, yawned, just changed his pajamas, and followed Gal to the entrance of the underground palace.
"Yeah, sorry for the disrespect, he's just like another nephew of mine." Gal smiled wryly, feeling a little mad in his heart, he hurried over, and even Louis was alarmed, the new priest got up early in the morning to prepare lessons for the students , Before I could take off my glasses, I heard about such an unimaginable incident, so I had to follow along.
Louis pondered over his words for a long time before he could say: "That gentleman's style of doing things is really... unique."
Mr. Gude sighed again, stood at the gate of the underground palace and called out: "Your Excellency, are you there?"
His sound passed through countless magic circles, spreading throughout the underground palace like a stone thrown into the water.
It's just that Mr. Good's title is really unclear. Carlos heard this sound, and Aldo heard it too.
Carlos paused, coughed in embarrassment, and said to Lily and Mike, "What to do, I was caught."
Lily thought seriously for a while, and said like a little adult: "Then we should take the initiative to go out and admit our mistakes."
This time Mike agreed with his little sister listlessly: "We should confess and be lenient, and strive for a lenient sentence."
After breaking into the underground palace so many times without being caught, I didn't expect to graduate for a thousand years, and now I can't guarantee it at the end of the day. Carlos' face collapsed and he felt a little ashamed, but he still thought that Lily was right, a man should be brave.
Carlos opened a side door familiarly, let Mike jump out first, followed behind with Lily in his arms, and awkwardly smiled at the three people standing on the other side of the corridor, watching them silently: " Hey, my..."
And at this moment, the front door in front of Mr. Good was pushed open. The blond man in the white robe had adjusted his expression, and returned to that cold, stone-like state. Ask: "What do you call me..."
Then he caught sight of the blue-eyed man holding a little girl in his arms. The morning sun made his skin almost transparent, jumping on his soft chestnut hair tied behind him, with a smile that never faded in a thousand years. .
That scene was so beautiful that it never even appeared in his most cherished dreams.
"...something..."
Aldo didn't know how he finished this sentence, he was simply stupid.
