When Nairo saw Isabelle again, the latter had already walked out of the secret room in the library.
However, there were still a couple of Holy See soldiers guarding the door of the secret room.
"What's the result of the search?" Isabelle asked in a deep voice.
"We followed the markings on the map you gave us and opened the secret rooms one by one." Nairo shook her head and said, "Some of these secret rooms have already been opened, and some of them haven't … However, we didn't find anything."
Isabelle frowned.
Nairo continued, "However, we found a gap in the deep pit where the main cannon hit. We sent people down to investigate and found some new footprints … There's a huge hidden space deep underground. I'm afraid that [Rose Earl] is still alive. "
"Hidden space underground?"
"There are signs of someone opening the gate!"
Isabelle tapped her finger on the table as she was thinking.
The [God Bless Church] on La Puda was formed by the defeated soldiers of the Holy See. In the war 15 years ago, almost all of the elites of the former [God Bless Church] were killed. Even the former Pope died in that war.
Therefore, many of the secrets of the [God Bless Church] became secrets that no one knew the answer to after the death of the previous Pope … including the location of the [Myriad Element Mother], which was the most important item in the [God Bless Church].
As for the current [La Puda]'s Pope Elohim, he only became the new Pope after the [La Puda] reorganized the Holy See. Of course, Elohim's position in the Holy See was not low. He was even one of the few people who had real power after the former Pope.
At the same time, Elohim was also the person in charge of the hybrid project. He belonged to the pro-war faction of the Holy See, and he even wanted to control the taboo power of the hybrids.
Isabelle looked at Nairo coldly, and this young knight was a bit confused.
Isabelle didn't say anything. She only thought about Nairo's growth and the death of the conservative faction of the new Holy See in La Puda.
"Get ready. I'm going down," Isabelle said quickly. Isabelle quickly said, "We don't have much time. I believe the commotion in the City of God's Protection will attract the attention of the Vampire Palace soon."
Nairo nodded quickly.
He also understood that with his current combat strength, if he were to encounter the army of the Royal Court of Vampires, there was only the possibility of being annihilated.
…
…
Vampires could see easily even in the dark.
At this time, Arthashis could easily see everything in front of him. The further they went, the more obvious the traces of manual opening became. In the end, they even stepped on the flat floor.
It was a passageway with no end in sight.
"If it's safe to leave this place, I'll give you what you want, Alan."
In the quiet atmosphere, Assaches's voice suddenly rang out. This caused Mr. Allen, who had been silent most of the time, to have some obvious ups and downs in his emotions.
At the very least, Mr. Assaches could hear the guy's heartbeat speeding up a little.
"If this passageway can lead to the outside, I am confident that I can help you escape the Holy See's pursuit, Count." Mr. Allen seemed to have become excited. "I've been operating in the City of God Bless for so many years. It's not in vain!"
"I don't doubt it." Mr. Assaches chuckled softly.
He was more concerned about when Isabelle's men would appear.
"There seem to be some … symbols here?" K Er Lili held a torch and stood in front of the wall of the passageway. "Look at this … mark!"
"I seem to have seen this mark somewhere." Mr. Assaches looked at it and said, "In the information of the Holy See, many documents are classified as top secret … This seems to be some kind of top secret mark. But I've never seen any information with the same mark. "
"Maybe it's not important, or maybe it's the most important." Alan said coldly, "Judging from the secrecy of this place, it can only be the latter?"
"This place might be related to [Universal Essence]." Assaches suddenly looked at Alan.
The expression of the owner of the dungeon slightly changed, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken … He was currently being troubled by the corrosion of [Ten Thousand Element]. The most important thing was obviously information on [Ten Thousand Element], and whether or not he could survive.
"My Lord Count, you mean?"
"I know something about [Universal Essence]." Assaches shook his head and said, "But it's very little. It's just some marginal information. It was privately recorded by a researcher in the Holy See, in his diary. "
"What exactly is [Universal Essence]?"
Assaches said, "An energy source similar to a [Perpetual Motion Machine]. According to the description in the researcher's diary, [Universal Essence] can transform any substance … No, perhaps it is created out of thin air, to be more precise."
"Created out of thin air?" Alan frowned subconsciously and said, "Don't you need raw materials?"
"I'm afraid there's no need." Mr. Arthacis thought for a while and said, "This kind of [Myriad Elements] seems to be able to refine something out of a fantasy through some kind of method, creating something out of nothing … However, there is a restriction, and that is, the thing that can be refined must be something within one's knowledge."
"Something within cognition?" Alan was stunned. "What exactly do you mean? When it comes to knowledge, we should be limitless … We are constantly improving our knowledge of ourselves! Could it be that this substance can also be infinitely improved? "
"In theory, that's the case." Mr. Assaches said slowly, "It's a very inconceivable and absurd delusion … But obviously, the Holy See was indeed doing research in this area in the past, and it seems that they really came up with something."
Alan lowered his head and said, "I've come into contact with [Universal Essence], and the corrosion on my body is the best proof … But [Universal Essence] was once in my hands, so it obviously doesn't have the fantasy ability you mentioned."
"Perhaps you opened it the wrong way." Mr. Assaches shrugged.
This reason …
Mr. Alan realized that he actually had no way to refute it?
"Could it be that the Holy See's return this time is for … [Universal Essence]?" Alan seemed to have understood something, and his voice was alarmed!
"Basically, when the Holy See retreated, they took away what they could take away, and destroyed as much as possible what they couldn't take away." Mr. Assaches said, "Logically speaking, if it's [Universal Essence], it should be the highest priority … It's impossible for them not to take it away back then."
Alan pondered for a moment. There was no problem with this inference.
"What if there's a reason why they can't take it away?" However, he thought of another possibility.
Mr. Assaches muttered, "Let's continue walking, and we'll find out."
Alan nodded. He was more concerned about his own safety. "By the way, Lord Earl, in your opinion, when will the army of the Vampire Court arrive?"
"What army of the Vampire Court?"
Alan hesitated and said, "Lord Earl, please don't joke around. Didn't you contact the Court when [God Blessed City] was attacked? Moreover, even if you didn't take the initiative to contact them, the Court wouldn't just ignore you, right? After all, you were the hero who killed the previous Pope of [God Blessed Church], Cicero! "
Mr. Assaches frowned.
Whether the previous Pope Cicero was really killed by him … He himself didn't know!
"Maybe they're already on their way here." He thought for a moment and said.
In fact, other than the battle fifteen years ago, he had never been to the Royal Court of the Vampires … In these fifteen years, he had not contacted the Royal Court of the Vampires even once.
As for the Vampire True Ancestor who broke through [God Blessed City], he had never seen him before!
How did he become the new ruler of [God Blessed City]?
So it's you who killed the Pope Cicero!
You're the hero of my race!
The True Ancestor said that [God Blessed City] is yours!
Do your best!
That's probably it … A group of vampires ran over and said while looking at the confused Alan.
Am I not the Child of the Realm?
…
…
All the black-armored warriors in the castle were captured, and the human servants in the castle were also imprisoned in one place … The surroundings were very quiet.
Griffith brought [Yulia] with him, quickly traversing through the castle, avoiding some of the Church's warriors who were carrying out their search.
After a while, Griffith opened one of the walls, and there was a mezzanine space inside.
Griffith skillfully took an oil lamp from the wall of the mezzanine and lit it up … Although it was called a mezzanine, it was basically made up of stairs that went up and down.
Through this secret mezzanine, it seemed like it could lead to anywhere in the castle.
"It just leads to a few fixed places."
As if he saw through [Yu Liya]'s thoughts, Griffith said calmly, "In terms of structure, if the entire castle has this mezzanine, it's easy to be discovered. However, it's safe here for now. "
[Yu Liya] showed a pitiful expression.
However, Griffith wasn't moved and walked down with the oil lamp. [Yu Liya] had no choice but to follow him. After a while, Griffith opened the wall of the mezzanine again and walked out.
"What … is this place?!"
[Yu Liya] was surprised.
This peculiar place was actually filled with densely packed containers. Shockingly, the organs of various creatures were soaking in these containers.
It seemed to be a biological laboratory!
The laboratory wasn't small, and there were many containers, but it wasn't crowded … In the center of the laboratory, there were some rusty instruments and a bed made of metal — the kind that was welded with shackles and shackles.
The bricks on the ground showed a reddish-brown color … It was a thick layer of solidified blood, like a hard shell.
"This is the place where the [God Bless Church] used to do biological experiments." Griffith said calmly, "After the Earl took over the castle, he found this place and then sealed it … The door outside has been sealed."
"But we can come in through the secret passage?" [Yu Liya] was stunned. "Since there is a door, why did they build a secret passage?"
"Who knows what the people of the Church thought back then." Griffith shook his head. "Maybe some people didn't want to come in openly, or … they wanted to secretly take something out from here."
"This is … a specimen of a vampire's corpse?"
In a round container that was as tall as two people, [Yu Liya] saw a male vampire's corpse — with her knowledge, she could easily see that all the organs of this vampire's corpse had been removed …
Not only the vampire's corpse, but she also saw many baby specimens in the containers — these babies seemed to be born with deformities and horrible shapes.
"I don't like this place." [Yu Liya] clasped her hands and said, "Master Griffith, didn't you say that the secret passage can lead to other places? Should we … leave this place?"
'Useless … cowardly woman.'
This was Griffith's evaluation — but in this environment, [Yu Liya]'s reaction was normal … If she didn't move, he could only suspect her origin.
But the reality was different.
This woman had once resisted her curiosity and turned a blind eye to the opening of the prison door. She had turned around and left without hesitation.
"The other places are the library and the Pope's Hall that used to be the [God Bless Church]. There is also a path, but it has collapsed. I don't know where it leads to. Now, the library and the Pope's Hall are guarded by the soldiers of the Church … Do you really want to go there? "
"Let's … let's stay here." [Yu Liya] said with a trembling voice.
Griffith suddenly chuckled. "Miss Yu Liya, don't you have any thoughts about this secret passage?"
"Thoughts … thoughts?"
The smile in Griffith's eyes became bigger. "Yes, thoughts in your heart."
[Yu Liya] swallowed and said, "I … what thoughts can I have …"
"Like I said, this secret passage is connected to the library." Griffith walked closer. "Aren't you curious how I know about the existence of this secret passage? Or, to go deeper, have I ever used this secret passage to spy on Countess Rose, who has been hiding in the library all this time? "
"Mr. Griffith, you are the Earl's loyal subordinate. How … how could you do such a thing?" [Yu Liya] said quickly, "The Earl must have told you about this secret passage, right?"
"What secrets do you have?" Griffith said with a playful expression.
"Mr. Griffith, what … what are you talking about?" [Yu Liya] stepped back subconsciously.
Griffith chuckled and said, "During the selection competition, Nord pointed out that you were the winner and took you away. Before Nord died, he wanted me to bring you to him … At the same time, you became Earl Rose's VIP guest. Without a doubt, you are just an ordinary person. Although you are pretty, it isn't enough to make you special. "
"Those marks, were you the one who left them?" [Yulia] couldn't help but frown. Her expression changed instantly. "Norsta, why are you here?!"
Griffith subconsciously looked away. By the time he reacted, [Yu Liya] had already rushed to the entrance of the secret passage.
Griffith narrowed his eyes. As a vampire, his speed was much faster than that of a normal human. He had already blocked [Yu Liya]'s path.
[Yu Liya] kicked out without saying anything.
However, Griffith easily grabbed her ankle and threw her against the wall. "Your strength is not bad, but it's a pity that your foundation is too low."
Griffith walked up to the injured [Yulia] and looked at her coldly. He was about to say something when Yulia suddenly stopped in front of him.
Unexpectedly, [Yu Liya] said, "I'll tell you their secret. Please let me go! Really, I can tell you now! "
Griffith opened his mouth slightly. He thought that it would take some effort. He didn't expect the other party to give in so quickly … Moreover, his intuition told him that this woman was the type that was afraid of death.
"Oh?" Griffith smiled playfully again. "Tell me about it."
"Actually, Nord isn't from this world." [Yu Liya] said slowly, "Even Earl Rose isn't from this world … They came from the same place and knew each other a long time ago."
Griffith narrowed his eyes. "Continue."
His intuition told him that this woman's words were … true?
She wasn't lying!
