"I, I'm here, Elder Duval." At this time, Sander also limped to Duval and saluted respectfully. After seeing him, Duval immediately spoke again.
"Where is the forbidden library of those charlatans?"
"It's in the basement of that building! After entering from there, you will find the secret passage leading to the bottom!" Sander said, pointing to the Sutra Archives Building not far away. After listening to his words, Duval paused slightly, then turned his gaze downwards.
"underground……"
As he spoke, Duval's two heads leaned down and sniffed the ground carefully, and finally seemed to smell something.
"Don't look for any secret path..."
Duval's leader said this, then he raised his hand high, clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the ground in the square.
"boom!!!"
Under the tremendous force, a large hole was smashed into the floor of the square in an instant. Cracks quickly radiated outward from the center of the hole, and the vibration of the ground made everyone on the scene tremble.
This was not the end. After creating a big hole, Duval continued to punch in a circle without stopping, and continued to punch into the deep hole, making the hole deeper, and then repeated this process. With each earth-shaking punch, the ground of the square was also shaking again and again, and after just a few punches, the thick floor was directly pierced, and collapsed downwards with a loud bang, forming a big hole.
Duval, and the three people beside him fell underground together with the collapse, and finally landed in a huge underground space. It was dark here, and the only light shining in from the collapsed hole brought brightness to the place.
This is a huge basement that is more than ten meters high and supported by several pillars. In this basement, there are countless steel racks standing in rows. On these iron racks are welded and inlaid one after another safes made of solid stone as solid as jade and with fine iron frames and locks. These safes are neatly arranged on the racks and can be seen everywhere at a glance.
This is the forbidden library of the Holy Chant Church. Although it is called the forbidden library, it also undertakes the collection of many extraordinary forbidden items due to its high security factor. The traditional and pagan forbidden items collected by the church in the entire Prithvar, if they are judged to have a certain retention value and do not need to be destroyed after being determined by the historical department, they will be sent here for strict custody. If they are important banned books and forbidden items, they will be sent to the Holy Mount.
In the process of eradicating paganism and evil associations, it is often necessary to consult the corresponding legends to understand their habits. For the church's top leaders, the preservation of these legends is also beneficial for them to study the real secret history. Although the church carries out various brainwashing-like missions full of fabricated history, their own top leaders have a relatively sober attitude towards the real secret history, and they cannot fool themselves.
Although the entrance to the Forbidden Library was under the Sutra Building, due to its large size, it extended directly to the underground of the Sutra Building Square. After Duval realized this, he chose to use brute force to break through the thick floor to reach here.
Crouching slightly, Duval took a quick look at the underground library, then focused his gaze on Brand standing next to him, and spoke seriously.
"Where are the remaining pages?"
“Here!”
As he spoke, Brand retched and spat out a small cloth bag from his throat. He grabbed it in his hand, and after cleaning the mucus on the bag, Brand opened it, revealing a small piece of torn book page with only a corner inside.
What was strange was that on the torn sections of the pages, tiny red granulations grew out. After being exposed to the air, these granulations stretched out a little, then squirmed around as if sensing something, and finally all the granulations stretched out in one direction, pointing there together.
Seeing the appearance of the torn pages in his hand, Brand immediately moved and walked towards the location indicated by the meat bud. According to the direction of the meat bud, he quickly came to a large bookshelf. After carefully confirming the direction, he finally pointed to a safe on the shelf and said.
"Elder, it's in here!"
Listening to Brand's words, Duval moved his huge body, knocked down two shelves along the way, and came to the shelf where Brand was. Then he stared at the safe that Brand pointed to, leaned down, and stabbed it with a claw.
As expected, the safe was pierced, and Duval retracted his claws, while Brand reached into the hole in the safe, and soon took out an old red-covered biography. After noticing the biography, the broken page corner in Brand's hand immediately crawled towards it with its tentacles, and finally crawled into the pages of the biography.
"Elder, this is it!"
Holding the Ton Chuan high up, Brand said excitedly. Seeing this, Duval placed his huge claws in front of Brand, and Brand placed the Ton Chuan on Duval's claws.
Looking at the small red particle on his giant claw, Duval opened his wolf mouth, then raised his claw and sent the particle into his mouth. Just as Duval was about to eat the particle, something strange happened at the scene.
“Whoosh!”
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, in a shadow in the library, a dark afterimage shot towards Duval and flashed across his hand. After flashing past, the aorta at Duval's wrist ruptured, and a huge amount of blood gushed out, while the sword in Duval's palm disappeared one after another, and Durr didn't even react at the first time.
"roar!!
“Who is it!!”
Du Weier could not help but roar in anger as he was splashed with his own blood and saw the thing he had almost grasped suddenly disappear. Then he immediately began to sniff the air, following his sense of smell and looking to the side where a strange breath suddenly appeared in the space. Then he saw this scene.
In the center of the huge forbidden library, on the ruins caused by the collapse of the ceiling, a figure was standing there at this moment. He was wearing an old cape and a short windbreaker stained with blood, wrapping his slender body, and hanging all kinds of short knives on his belt and other parts of his body, from daggers to scalpels. His pair of leather boots were stained with blood and mud, and he wore a tattered gentleman's hat on his head.
In the left hand of that figure, he held the bright red sword that the werewolf had just held, and in his left hand, he held what looked to be a large rusty meat saw, stained with Duval's blood. His face under the top hat was wrapped in rag-like bandages, with only one scarlet eye showing, emitting a dangerous light.
The broken hole in the ceiling let in light from the outside world. This ray of light, the only light source in the library, shone on the mysterious figure that suddenly appeared, making him look not noble and holy, but eerie and terrifying. The dangerous aura emanating from his small figure seemed to be menacing the tall monster beside him.
