Who's humming? What's the song about?
No one knew for sure.
As the humming sound became clearer, Dokibell slowed down. Every step it took was very cautious.
Angor also heard the song, which sounded a little sentimental.
If Angor ignored the depressing atmosphere in the church and tried to listen to the humming without subjectivity, he would find that the humming was quite beautiful.
It made his heart itch a little.
But under this surface of preparation, there was an unsettled sadness.
Angor might not be a musician himself, but as a descendant of a noble family, he had to learn how to appreciate music.
"The sorrow hidden beneath the love," Angor muttered. What was the song trying to express?
It sounded like it was remembering someone.
While Angor was still trying to figure out what the humming meant, Dokibell had already reached a stone tablet.
"Strange. I didn't see this tablet when I came here," Dokibell lowered its voice and spoke to the people in the church.
Everyone looked at the tablet. The shape of the tablet wasn't regular. It looked like a piece of broken rock. However, Dokibell called it a "tablet" because there was an inscription on it.
The inscriptions were written in a language he had never seen before. But for some reason, just looking at the strange lines of the inscriptions, Angor felt a strong sense of sadness, as well as a tinge of unwillingness.
"It's Abyss Language," Madelyne whispered.
There were three languages known to wizards on the surface of the Abyss: Demon Language, Ancient Demon Language, and Abyss Language.
As their names suggested, Demon Language and Ancient Demon Language were both demons' languages. However, Ancient Demon Language was more elegant and powerful. Only a few demons with ancient heritages could understand it.
The Abyssal language was an even more widespread language, similar to the common language of the Sorcerer World. Normally, it was used by the natives of the Abyss, but most demons and magical creatures could understand the Abyssal language.
"The inscription says: The Resting Place of the Undying Brigade."
When Madelyne read it aloud, everyone looked at each other. "Is it the Undying Brigade?" Brofen frowned.
"I don't know, but rumor has it that after the Undying Squadron went on an expedition, they never returned. Could this be the resting place of the expeditionary army? "Vifet was surprised.
As they discussed, Angor began to understand what was going on.
Immortal Street was the settlement city where the detainees of the Cinder Rock would eventually be transferred to. It was actually built by humans, half-blood demons, and some abyssal natives.
The reason why it was named Immortal Street was because the aboriginals wanted to pay tribute to their most powerful army, the Immortal Brigade.
According to the inscriptions here, the resting place of the Undying Squadron was here. But why was there no inscriptions here before?
Did someone erect the inscription here not long ago?
Could the person who erected the monument be the one who hummed the song?
"Shall we go forward or circle around?" Brofen asked.
"Even if we take a detour, where can we go? The members of the Undying Squadron were all half-blooded demons. If someone is paying respects to them, their strength shouldn't be too strong. " Sennefer paused for a moment. "After all, we owe the half-blooded demons a favor when we built Immortal Street. Let's go inside and take a look. If what the inscription says is true, we should bring the remains of the Undying Squadron back to Immortal Street. "
No one objected to Sennefer's decision.
Dokibell began to move forward, but Sennefer also ordered it not to run.
It was really the resting place of the Undead Brigade. Running would disturb their sleep. Besides, running would only anger the person who erected the monument.
Dokibell continued forward for a while. Suddenly, the sky outside turned dark.
Sennefer pushed open the door of the church and walked outside.
The light outside was incomparably dim, as if it was night time!
In the Abyss, it was difficult to distinguish between day and night. There was no distinction between black and white. It was always drowsy. But now, the sky was completely dark, as if it was a moonless night.
Sennefer's expression was gloomy. "I think we've entered an alternate dimension."
Even the rampaging elements were much quieter in the "darkness". This was clearly different from when they were on the Silent Coast.
Dokibell followed Sennefer's order and retreated, but it still didn't leave the darkness.
"If we can't get out, let's keep moving," Sennefer said. "Let's go to the humming."
Although they had come to this strange place, the sky had changed, the environment had changed, and even the activity of the elements had changed. However, there was one thing that didn't change: the humming.
It was still echoing in their ears, and it was even clearer.
Dokibell walked in the direction of the humming for half a minute. The group standing in front of the church's door saw something strange.
A large number of tombstones and sarcophagi were in front of them.
Brofen frowned. "Is this the graveyard of the Undying Squadron?"
"It doesn't matter. The humming is right in front of us. Let's go check it out."
Dokibell kept moving forward. As they entered the graveyard, they also saw some inscriptions on the tombstones. The symbols on the tombstones basically confirmed that the Undying Squadron was the expeditionary army worshipped by the aboriginals of the Abyss.
Even so, they didn't touch the sarcophagi. Instead, they decided to meet the hummer first.
After a while, Dokibell stopped.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they saw a brightly lit room in front of them.
There was a brightly lit room in the depths of the graveyard. It didn't seem strange. Perhaps it was where the gravekeeper lived.
But! This room was very different! It wasn't just a room. It was a …
A bar!
There was no sign, but the wooden bars and the cloth that was brightly illuminated by the lights inside indicated that this was a bar.
There was also a large word written in Abyssal on the cloth: Liquor!
Below the cloth, they saw some tables and chairs, as well as a bar counter.
The breeze in the cemetery blew gently, causing the cloth to sway up and down. Through the gap between the shaking, they could even see a pair of pale hands with painted nails on the bar counter, mixing drinks with great rhythm.
The humming they had heard earlier was coming from the bar.
Everyone had different expressions, but they were all confused. Why was there a bar here? Could it be that this bar was a place to treat ghosts to drinks in this desolate cemetery?
"Who are they trying to fool?" Sennefer jumped off Dokibell and walked towards the bar without hesitation.
But before she could get close, she heard a dull sound of stones grinding against each other.
She turned around and saw a sarcophagus being pushed open. She frowned and looked over.
A hand reached out and grabbed the edge of the sarcophagus. The hand was covered by armor, so she couldn't see what was inside. With a sharp metallic sound, a humanoid figure stood up from the sarcophagus.
It was a fully armored knight with a broadsword on his back.
However, the armor was old and the broadsword was broken in half. There were also signs of corrosion on it.
As soon as the knight appeared, not only Sennefer, but also the others were ready to fight. But something unexpected happened. The knight didn't care about the tense atmosphere and simply walked into the bar with his boots.
When Knight walked into the bar and lifted the curtain, everyone could vaguely see a woman with a graceful figure behind the bar counter.
The humming stopped for a moment, as if someone was trying to entertain the knight.
"Is he really treating a ghost to a drink?" Angor was also outside the church. He could not help but wonder.
Sennefer snorted and walked into the bar without hesitation. She was still cursing Lucien in her mind.
However, when she tried to step inside, a gentle barrier of light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the bar and knocked her away. Sennefer was sent flying, but the force didn't do her any harm. She adjusted her posture in the air and landed on the ground steadily.
As soon as she landed, Sennefer's eyes flashed with anger. She raised her fists and swung them at the bar.
However, as soon as the flames touched the barrier, they were repelled.
Sennefer used the same amount of force as she cast the spell, and the barrier gave her the same amount of force.
Fortunately, Sennefer was only testing the waters. Otherwise, she would've been injured by the recoil of the force.
It seemed that the bar in the graveyard wasn't going to entertain Sennefer.
Sennefer looked inside the bar with a hint of fear in her eyes. She didn't feel anything when she tried the barrier the first time. But the second time, she sensed something was wrong.
That light wall faintly emitted a terrifying aura. This aura was incomparably powerful. Even if she wasn't cursed, she still couldn't be compared to that aura.
Perhaps only Sir Monchi could compare.
In other words, the one who set up the barrier was at least a level-3 truth-finder.
Sennefer didn't know whether the man was in the bar or not, but she knew she couldn't act recklessly. If something went wrong, she wouldn't even have enough time to construct a plane passageway.
Sennefer's expression changed. She turned to the bartender and said, "I was just craving for alcohol. Forgive me for my rudeness."
After Sennefer apologized, the bar became quiet again. However, the humming stopped.
She continued, "I wonder if I can go in and have a drink?"
As soon as Sennefer's voice trailed off, the people in the bar finally responded.
