Bernia is a short, small girl, completely different from the "fire witch" that Hao Ren had guessed before.She was dressed in an oversized, dark red cloth robe, with long brown hair braided behind her and decorated with colorful silk threads.The little girl hid timidly behind the adults, watching Vivien and Hao Ren with her big shining eyes, and she didn't dare to salute Vivien until Geisel called her out: it didn't look like a "saint" in a high position."
Bernia was just chosen as a saint last year," the elder of the Fire Clan, the sturdy warrior-like middle-aged man, explained a little embarrassed, "The last saint died suddenly, and Bernia took office in a hurry before she even had time to learn the knowledge of spells and rituals.However, her belief in the gods and her natural abilities as a saint are fine, and she will be able to be your guide. ”Vivien looked curiously at the timid little girl, who blinked her eyes and cautiously met her, and said in a very small voice, "Goddess, praise......
Praise be to you, and your coming to make the earth ......
The earth was terrified......
"It was like crying.""
Take us to the place where the witch is buried," Vivien said directly, not letting the little girl continue to be nervous, "The others don't have to follow. ”No one had any opinion on Vivien's arrangement, and Gezer retreated with the warriors of the Fire Clan, and when Horen heard them leave, he was already talking about the arrival of the Goddess and how Gezer had arrived in this place from the Wind Tribe in an instant.Bernia, on the other hand, was left alone, she glanced at Vivien carefully, and raised her hand to the root of the pillar tree: "There, far away, to enter the Pillar of Eternity." ”The Pillar of Heaven is so large that a single root is a mountain, and a small hole in the trunk is a tunnel, and the Fire Tribe lives at the foot of this giant tree, but their range is not much greater than that of a colony of ants nesting at the roots.The "temple" that Bernia is referring to is a tribal shrine located in the center of the Pillar Tree, so how far is it from the nearest root to the center of the trunk?
More than a dozen kilometers.The miracle plant created by the eldest son is so magnificent and amazing.Hao Ren took Bernia and drove directly to the holy place.The Pillar Tree, similar to the one the group had first passed through, was hollow, and when entered through a triangular crack at the base of the trunk, a large dark space could be seen.However, the difference is that there are many traces of human activity in this area as a base for the Fire Tribe, and some lights can be seen in the clearing inside the giant tree, and there is a wide road that has been groomed from the crack in the trunk to the center.At the end of the road, Hao Ren saw what Bernia called the "temple", unlike the other temples he had seen, the building in front of him was much more simple than he had imagined, it was just a building made of wood and stones, somewhat imitating the pyramid of Doraschel, not ornate, not even magnificent.Of course, even so, it is still much stronger than the tribal yurt outside."
The witch and the saint of four hundred years ago are buried in the back of the temple," Bernia seemed much more relieved when she arrived, and she was a little bold to offer Vivien the way, "It's quiet here, and the warriors only come here during festivals." ”At this time, Lily was looking up at the chaotic darkness above, which undoubtedly led to the surface crust of the Infernal Planet: "Anyway, you build a house here......
Won't you be hit by something falling from above?
”Bernia was stunned and whispered, "Occasionally......
Something will fall. ”Lily was taken aback: "Isn't that dangerous?!"
”Bernia kept a dumbfounded expression, as if she hadn't thought about it at all: "Goddess bless, so it's okay." ”Lily felt incredible: "What if I get smashed?"
Or even stoned to death?
”"That'......
Or the goddess blesses, if you are stoned to death, you should be able to be with the goddess," Bernia finished in a daze, and quickly glanced up at Vivien, "Right?"
”Vivien looked at the darkness above her head, and she felt weak herself, let alone bless others, but in the face of Bernia's desperate question, she could only nod stubbornly: "I will bless you, I will bless you-but I still advise you not to move inside the trunk in the future, you can go outside to hold ceremonies, this pillar leads to the surface, if something really falls, it is not just a matter of smashing a bag." ”Bernia didn't know if she understood, but she shook her head up and down in a daze, and then led the group to see the witch's grave.Behind the "temple" is a large open space enclosed with round stones, and many stone bags made of gravel are neatly arranged in the clearing.The bags themselves are the same, but at the top of each of them is a rough stone pillar with simple information such as the name of the tomb owner written in hieroglyphic symbols.The witch from Earth, who had explored the depths of the Infernal Star and had an extraordinary life experience, slept in this graveyard, her stone bag mixed with other people, and there was nothing special about it.Bernia pointed to the witch's grave, and there was only a simple sentence on the stone pillar of writing: Witch, friend, stranger, you sleep here, may your soul return to your homeland in your sleep."
That's it."
As she spoke, she bent slightly in front of the stone bag and made a simple prayer and consolation with a complex and strange gesture.Vivien looked curiously at the graves around her: "The people buried here are all the saints of the Fire Clan?"
”Bernia shook her head up and down: "yes." ”"Do you allow a foreigner—and possibly a 'cursed' outsider—to be buried with the holy maidens?"
Hethanna took over, "You don't have a taboo in this regard?
”"This was specially allowed by the Holy Maiden back then, and it is said that the Holy Maiden and the Witch were very good friends, and together they cured the original Plague of Black Spots," Bernia said, suddenly glancing at Vivien with some nervousness, "That's ......
Isn't it okay?
”Vivien immediately waved her hand: "Oh no, it's okay, that's good." ”"What else is left of that witch besides this tomb?"
Hao Ren was not satisfied with the only one grave in front of him, "Relics, messages, or other legends are fine."
Anyway, you're not going to bury all her stuff, are you?
”As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Lily, and said in his heart that if the witch's relics had already been buried, then he would have to let Lily leave the grave behind, anyway, she was the best at digging holes.Lily noticed that Hao Ren's eyes suddenly became excited, and she shrank her claws and hid behind Nangong May: "Landlord, don't look at me!"
Digging a hole is not the same as digging a grave!
”Thankfully, the witch's belongings weren't buried, and as Hao Ren had expected, those who had accidentally fallen into such a situation would find a way to pass on their story to their compatriots who might visit the place again - the witch had left a lot of things and had asked her native friends to keep them safe.Bernia led the group into the temple (which was actually a larger stone house) and retrieved some severely discolored parchment scrolls and carved tablets from an old stone box, as well as a lot of miscellaneous things: "This is the witch's left." ”Hao Ren is like a treasure, these things are what he wants.Vivien eagerly examined the relics, seeing scrolls and pieces of paper made of black goatskin, ritual knives carved out of obsidian, glass bottles that once held potions, some pieces of fabric, and an old pair of special gloves worn by witches to make potions, no doubt from Earth.She even found an eight-century-old coin in the pile, and she was stunned for a long time by the small, rusty, barely visible piece of metal: "......
It's been 10,000 years, it's been 10,000 years, and I'm picking up money for the first time......"
Hao Ren slapped the coin out of Vivian's hand: "Don't make trouble, it's not you who picked it up, it's someone else's relic." ”"Pretty much the same thing," Vivien pouted, "I used to dig other people's graves and never found any money. ”"Ahem," Hao Ren quickly coughed twice to expose the topic, "Let's take a look at what is written on these parchments." ”(To be continued.) )
