1053 Duke Figner
Leaving the narrow study room, continuing to walk deep into the maze, relying on the "memory of the maze" trained by years of game experience, I avoided the path I walked when I came and chose the path leading to the inside.
The glass walls here are dazzling and can easily lead to getting lost. But for Lin Chi, it is no big deal.
What he was more worried about was the patrol soldiers who might appear in the maze.
There was no other guardian in this temple. As Lin Chi expected, he had only walked a few steps before he heard heavy footsteps in the maze.
Before he could see the other party's appearance, Lin Chi had already walked quickly to the other side of the maze, avoiding the guy's movement range.
Regardless of whether the person patrolling in the maze is hostile or not, his current physical condition is in frontal battle, so the situation in the maze becomes a game similar to a cat and mouse.
At this time, Lin Chi felt like the protagonist of the classic old game "Pac Man", who was avoiding chasing his monsters while searching for available information in the maze.
The person patrolling the other side of the maze did not seem to move fast. Although Lin Chi made a sound when she walked, the other party seemed to have not noticed Lin Chi's existence and was still walking slowly.
Realizing that the other party had not chased after him, Lin Chi breathed a sigh of relief and walked carefully in the maze, looking for any information that might become a clue along the way.
Bypassing a dark blue glass wall, the haggard "old gangster" dragged his transformed body through the maze, and saw something worth noting on a glass wall.
It was a portrait framed in a dark frame. The bust of an old man was drawn with fine brushstrokes, and hung it on the wall and showed a kind smile to Lin Chi.
The old man was wearing a white robe and looked like a missionary. He held a book with a golden cover tightly in his thin hands, his expression was extremely kind, and the four big words "Saving all living beings" were written on his face.
Lin Chi stood in front of the picture frame and stared at the silver text engraved on the edge of the frame:
"Duke of Fegna. Great Lord, explorer, messenger of gods."
"He frees us from pain, He saves us from eternity."
——Is this guy a "god master"?
Recalling his experiences in Sodom City, Lin Chi realized that things were not simple. Judging from the "explorer" and "the messenger of the gods" in the introduction, the old man in the portrait might be the one who brought the two angels back to the temple.
In other words, the scroll I got before may have been written by this Duke Feigna. If this guy was the city lord, it would seem normal that the portrait would appear here. However...
Is this painting a bit crooked?
Noting some unnatural details, Lin Chi took a step back and found that the portrait was indeed slightly tilted to the left, as if someone had moved.
If it is a puzzle game, this will happen, which means that the clues are hidden behind the portrait.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi decisively took off the painting and turned the frame over. He saw that the back of the portrait was indeed written with a few lines of dark small words:
"Don't be deceived, this old man is just an evil idiot, his arbitrary behavior has ruined our temple."
"The guards don't allow us to tell the truth, I can only write the truth secretly in this place. If you want to know what the old man has done and look for his portrait, the evidence is all in it."
After reading the text written at the back of the portrait, Lin Chi hung the portrait back. He was still a little confused and immediately determined his next goal of action - looking for the portrait of Duke Feigner.
Because the situation is not clear, he naturally would not believe in the text behind the portrait, nor did he fully trust the content on the scroll. Instead, he decided to collect clues first and then judge the situation in the temple.
But before that, you must first make sure that you can leave alive...
"Dong!"
The dull footsteps sounded not far behind him, and the patrolman seemed to have arrived at this side of the maze. Lin Chi had no time to continue investigating the portrait, so he had to choose to run forward.
The reflection of "Tim, the long sword," reflected in the dark blue glass, and the body twisted and deformed on the wall, as if implying something. Lin Chi's pace was getting faster and faster, and his body seemed to be lighter than before.
“…”
He opened the attribute bar and looked at it, and was surprised to find that his physical attributes were rising, from his original failure to reach the level of 10 points.
Is the rise in attributes caused by physical transformation or other reasons? No matter why this happens, it is better to run away now...
He quickly walked through the maze and avoided the unknown chaser behind him. After about a minute, an arched metal door suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes, which looked very thick.
Listening to the sound of the patrol's footsteps approaching, Lin Chi had no time to think about anything else and stood in front of the door and pushed hard.
The unlocked door began to slowly open to the inside. The space inside the door was pitch black and there was no light source visible.
Lin Chi walked directly into the dark space behind the door, turned around and closed the door, and locked the patrolman outside the door.
He didn't know whether this gate could stop the patrolmen's footsteps, but now he couldn't care about that much. He had at least reached the new area, and he should be able to find other clues here.
——Is there a light source?
Standing in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Lin Chi looked around and looked for something that could create light. A burning smell in the air stimulated his nose, accurately indicating that there was combustible substances here.
Whether it is a candlestick or a torch, it can provide a bright light source. As long as you follow the pungent smell, you should be able to find it-
Lin Chi used his hands to explore the darkness and walked forward slowly. After only a few steps, he felt something slender and cold.
He reached out and touched down, confirming that he was touching a bumpy wall. As for the things used to splice the wall, it seemed to be a large number of white bones.
"Is this what the so-called Human Bone Church meant?"
Lin Chi thought secretly in his heart, walked steadily against the wall, and began to explore this strange human bone church in the dark.
clang!
The deafening loud noise kept echoing in the dark space, and it also brought a long echo, which made Lin Chi a little dizzy.
The sound sounded like a bell, with the effect of "magic sound filling the ears". Lin Chi leaned against the wall and stopped, and the rhythmic bell rang again.
Could it be that the time for pilgrimage has come?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Lin Chi heard a heavy breathing sound from the dark "Sanctuary".
