Chapter 2726 The God of System and the Origin of the Great Lakes
When the wet stone tablet fell to the ground, the not-so-strong whispering element had already spread throughout the camp. However, Grace and Helen walked over together and reached out to touch the stone tablet, and the whispering element was suppressed as if it was sealed.
"It is a derivative of the relic, but not a derivative of this lake. This lake is indeed not a relic."
Grace, the sister in the white dress, said softly, and Helen turned to Shade and said:
"Sir, please take a look. This is a text I don't recognize."
It is unknown how many years the stele has been underwater. Although the surface is mottled, most of the words and patterns are still clear. The stele has no base and is inserted into the soil at an angle.
At this time, the side facing away from the campfire was full of words. Shade bent down and brushed away the water droplets and mud:
"This is... Fourth Era 1080. The Temperance Seal is no longer recognizable here."
Below this sentence was a holy emblem, which was not the usual round shape but a shield shape, and was decorated with thorns. Shade did not recognize this, so the most knowledgeable people present, Granny Cassandra and Miss Danister, came forward, and after a brief discussion, they came to the conclusion:
"This is the holy emblem of the Ascetic God, also known as the 'God of Temperance', the 'God of Thorns', and the 'God of Pain'. But please note that this god is an evil god. He still exists today, but his followers rarely appear, so the Orthodox Church does not know much about his cult organization."
Xia De nodded. It’s not that the evil god doesn’t do good things, just like those people who helped him during the Battle of Moon Bay. Therefore, those sealed by the evil god are not necessarily good people.
He continued to translate the words under the holy symbol:
"Please do not enter this place without permission. If you enter this place for unknown reasons, please abide by the following rules:
If there is a human body submerged in the water, please record the individual's characteristics and exit the area immediately. Do not touch the lake surface or attempt to rescue them.
If there is a human body floating on the water, then reality has left you and this moment is an endless dream. Please maintain a clear mind and wait for rescue. May God bless you.
If there is a human body standing on the water, please turn around and leave immediately at all costs. Do not communicate, do not look at, do not sense, and do not remember. "
This is all the content on this side of the stele. The decorative patterns on the outside are not words and therefore do not need to be translated.
"What is sealed here? If I understand correctly, it was the gods who sealed this place?"
Iluna asked softly, and the Red Butterfly sisters said with certainty:
"Whatever was sealed before, it must be gone now. The lake is 'empty', and if the seal still existed, the stone tablet should be beside the lake to warn people, not in the lake."
"The Fourth Epoch, the era of darkness and chaos, is so far away from now. What is on the other side?"
The 18-year-old red-haired girl asked, and Shade lifted the stone tablet and turned it over. But there was no text on the back, or nothing at all, it was a very smooth stone surface.
Shade frowned slightly, and Granny Cassandra reminded him:
"Ancient artifacts unearthed in the Fourth Era sometimes require blood to solve puzzles. In that dark and chaotic era, intelligent life forms were united by ethnicity and believed that only shared blood was real. People at that time paid great attention to this."
Miss Swift behind her cut her palm and pressed the bloody handprint on the stone tablet. The smooth stone surface glowed slightly, and a moment later a vivid and exquisite mermaid pattern was etched on the smooth surface of the stone tablet.
The mermaid was tied up with several chains and was depicted in great detail, with her beautiful face even looking a little enchanting.
"So, is the seal here related to the mermaid race? Or, the one who is sealed is a mermaid."
Miss Danister, who was not aware of the situation, guessed, but found that most people were looking at Shade. Shade took a deep breath and watched the light and shadow dancing on the tilted stone tablet.
For a moment, he clearly saw the mermaid tied with chains on the stone tablet winking at him.
wow~
Another tail slapping sound came from the lake, causing the cat to bark threateningly. Luvia put her hand on Shad's shoulder, and Shad stood up from the stone tablet:
"Everyone stay in the camp, I'll go to the lake by myself."
"Is that the thing?"
Iluna asked somewhat unhappily. She hated the guy who said she was simple.
"Maybe, but she went a little too far this time."
He picked up the cat and handed it to Tifa. The maid looked worried:
"Do you really want to go alone?"
"I'll go with Shade, and I'll take the Night's Watch. Emilia, don't say anything, even if you take the Ocarina of Time it won't be enough."
Iluna said, and the blonde elf girl nodded. Then Shade looked around at the people who were watching them:
"Including Grace and Helen, you are all waiting for us in the camp. After Iluna and I leave the camp, we will immediately seal off the camp from the inside. Unless Mia recognizes me and comes back, no one can be allowed in or out under any circumstances."
Xia De's expression was very serious when he said this, so the Red Butterfly Twins, who originally wanted to go with them, had to nod in agreement.
But before leaving the camp with Iluna, Shad took off the black key hanging on his chest and turned it into the [Staff of Yggdrasil]. Shad handed the staff to Luvia:
"I don't know what happened this time, so hold this for me."
The confused purple-eyed girl took the staff. She didn't understand what it meant. But seeing Shade's expression, she didn't ask any more questions:
"Wait a moment, I'll tell your fortune once more, and you can go again, we still have three coins."
"If something unexpected happens, use a coin."
Shad nodded to her, then he and Iluna walked out of the camp gate holding hands.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed and jumped out of Tifa's arms, but did not follow Shad. Instead, it jumped onto Luvia's shoulder and squatted down. This was an extremely rare situation.
The purple-eyed fortune teller also subconsciously reached out and touched it, and was surprised to find that he was familiar with this action. But you know, Mia rarely gets so close to her.
It was already very dark, and then everyone cast a spell to completely seal off the camp. Without turning around, Shade couldn't even easily sense whether the camp still existed. The firelight from the camp also disappeared, and only the moonlight, starlight, and the silver torches erected on the periphery of the lakeside were still providing light.
The two came to the lake together, and as Xia De threw the small bottle of perfume into the lake, the originally calm lake surface emitting starlight suddenly became rippled.
Amid the sound of water, the perfume bottle floated for a distance into the lake and then sank directly into the water. Then a huge shadow flashed underwater again, followed by a splash, and the beautiful woman's head emerged from near the shore.
In an instant, the silver flames on the surrounding torches were all suppressed to the core of the flame, and the starlight in the night sky projected the colors of the starry sky onto her head like a spotlight.
The starlight illuminated the wet cheek, and the light reflected from her black hair made her black hair look particularly textured and more gorgeous.
Iluna didn't say anything, she just clicked her tongue to express her dissatisfaction. She and Shade both felt something strange in their emotions and thoughts when the other appeared, but Iluna, who instinctively disliked this "mermaid", would never change her attitude just because of her appearance.
"What do you mean this time?"
Shade asked, and the woman who looked up at the two people on the lakeshore asked with a smile:
"How rude! I thought you would greet me first and then report on the progress of debt collection."
The voice was lazy and hoarse, as if just waking up from a beautiful dream:
"I know what you want to ask. Yes, in the Fourth Age, some powerful and violent guys called upon the gods to seal me in this lake. That was a long time ago. I escaped later, but probably because I stayed here for a long time, this lake has my power."
"Why do I feel that you hate this place so much that you cast the most vicious curse on this lake before leaving? Otherwise, why did this lake not become a relic, but the stone tablet in the lake became a relic derivative? Isn't this proof of your power?"
Iluna asked this, and the woman's purple eyes looked at her. Iluna glared at her with her heterochromatic eyes without fear. The woman's head in the lake illuminated by the starlight began to laugh, which made Iluna feel even more despised.
"Yes or no, what does it matter? But interesting soul, it was not me who lured you and the witch here, it was you who broke into the Love Lake. I like this name. Who would hate love, who would hate happiness?"
There was a splashing sound in the water, as if two feet were gently swaying in the lake. The lake water reflecting the sea of stars was translucent, but Shade and Iluna couldn't see clearly what was under the head, which was quite scary.
"Although we followed Linda Bennet here, didn't you lead Linda Bennet here? Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why she would come to a place like this."
"Of course it wasn't me who brought it here."
The woman immediately denied it. She did not pretend to be aggrieved, but smiled and looked up at Xia De:
"If you investigate carefully, you will find that Miss Linda Bennet knew the secret of this lake a long time ago. The bold girl took the lake water here and fed it to the dead disciple York Bronte, hoping to gain his eternal love, and she really succeeded.
It's very interesting, isn't it? The opponent you regard as a strong enemy, the immortal who actually escaped death to a certain extent, was successfully drugged by an ordinary girl. "
