C509 The Stone Statue Wept Blood(1)

The soil is getting harder and harder, and I know we've come to the city of Vinck.

"Zhang Loong, quickly go up. I am feeling very stifled." Grace could no longer tolerate the lack of oxygen in the environment.

I stopped and quietly listened to the movement on the ground. The ground was silent. It was unlikely that they would be in the middle of a busy city. Thus, I brought Grace out of the ground.

"Ah!" Grace cried out in shock.

"How rude! I haven't shouted yet, but you were scared by me."

The surroundings were very dark. I took a closer look and saw a bald temple. Zhu Zheng was squatting on the ground and looking at us. That temple's Zhu was clearly old. His eyebrows were already white, and the deep wrinkles on his face looked like old tree bark.

"Water ghost?" The temple wish stood up and pointed at us.

I was slightly embarrassed. We just passed through the swamp, and our bodies were covered in mud and water. Aren't we like water ghosts?

"Hehe, it has been many years since anyone stepped into this forgotten monastery. It doesn't matter if you are a water ghost." old temple attendant said with a smile.

Grace used his hand to wipe the mud off his body and muttered, "I was almost scared to death by you."

Old temple attendant looked at me for a while and narrowed his eyes. "What a familiar feeling. More than twenty years ago, a person came to this monastery. The aura on his body is very similar to yours. He came and went. From then on, the gargoyles in my temple will bleed in their eyes every rainy day. Furthermore, every few years, there will be one less gargoyle here. It's like I've grown legs and run away."

Old temple attendant lit an oil lamp, allowing us to clearly see the things in this dark temple. The temple was very wide, and there was a terrifying totem engraved on the wall in the middle. One. Something like a demon was nailed to the wall and the demon seemed to have no limbs. Its entire body. It had roots all over its body. On the left and right sides of the totem, there were two rows of stone statues. They looked like humans and beasts. More than half of the stone statues were missing. Only the empty stone seats were left. The remaining stone statues' eyes were bleeding.

"Ever since the stone statue bled, the jury never came here to perform the ritual again, everyone has evacuated, leaving only me, an old man with nowhere to go" What? old temple attendant murmured.

"The devil on the wall is..." Grace looked at the terrifying totem in shock.

Old temple attendant looked up at the totem, "The one drawn is the King of Hate, Mephisto. Those stone statues are his servants. The stone statues disappeared one by one, and the Kurast was getting more and more chaotic day by day. Over the years, wars have been going on between the various nations. The Empire only has the appearance of prosperity left."

Old temple attendant bent down and coughed for a while." That feeling is really similar. It feels like that person from more than 20 years ago has returned. "

More than 20 years ago? I have never stepped foot on the land of Kurast in my life. Furthermore, I have been wandering in the desert of Lut Gholein for a few decades. Where did this old temple attendant come from?

"After that person came, seeds of hatred were planted in every corner of Kurast. Today, the old man once again felt this kind of Qi. What will your arrival bring to this ancient land?" old temple attendant pointed at me, making me feel very uncomfortable. It seems like I will be accompanied by a rain of blood wherever I go.

"Old man, do you know how to go to the judges' meeting?" I don't really like such a mysterious conversation. Besides, Marina and Ekdo's experiences have made me anxious and anxious, and I want to leave as soon as possible.

Old temple attendant blinked his turbid eyes. "After leaving the temple and walking east for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that will be the Empire's administrative center."

"Thank you!" I bowed.

"Zhang Loong, these stone statues make me feel very unsettled. There is a legend that the blood dripping from these stone statues is a sign of the revival of demons." Grace still looked at the blood dripping stone statues in shock.

I thought of the words of the Undying King. There is no end to the war in the Three Realms. Because this is a true era of darkness. I patted Grace's shoulder. "Whatever comes will come eventually. There's no use worrying about it. Let's think about how to save Ekdo and the others. "

I tore off my clothes. Grace was stunned for a moment before he understood what I meant. We are dirty, and we can disguise ourselves as beggars. We won't attract anyone's attention if we walk around the strictly guarded Vinck.

Old temple attendant picked up the broom shakily and began to clean the monastery. "Those who want to leave have to leave. It's useless to force it."

Grace frowned and pushed open the monastery's door. He walked out. The sky was very gloomy. It had been raining since last night.

Grace took off his cloak and covered himself with the Earth Rock Demon. The strange summoning creature did not appreciate it and grabbed it. It threw it on the ground. Grace looked at me awkwardly. "It doesn't matter if I'm dirty, but walking on the street naked will cause a disturbance."

I glared at the Earth Rock Demon and thought, "If you don't listen, I'll chase you away!"
