Chapter 475: The Ineffable Castel II
After walking around the house, this sense of disharmony became more and more serious. Isaac looked up, leaped a few times and jumped to the top of the tallest tree.
Looking down at the greenhouse from top to bottom, the "trees" in front of me gradually overlap with certain shadows in my memory, forming an absurd conclusion.
"These are not trees, these are..."
Isaac swallowed and pointed at each crop below in disbelief.
"Rye, turnips, beets, hawkweed"
"These...are actually those short plants?"
There was no doubt about it. Isaac had seen these plants before. They were exactly the same as the ones in front of him, only they were many times larger.
For example, the rye is usually only as high as a person's waist, but here it looks like a forest, and you need to raise your head to barely see the top.
Beets are short plants that grow close to the ground, but in this greenhouse, they create a green space that looks like a small house.
Isaac slowly looked up at the "tree" he was standing on.
This is the tallest plant in the entire greenhouse.
He raised his head and looked at the huge cone-shaped fruit above his head. He originally thought it was some strange thing, but now he looked closely. Corn!? Isaac took a breath and broke off a fruit from the corn.
It was an ordinary kernel of corn. There was nothing special about it except its size—it was bigger than Isaac's fist.
This... is this God's manor? Standing among these huge plants, Isaac suddenly felt as if he was just a little man in a fairy tale.
What kind of magical place is this? Isaac hesitated and stuffed the corn kernel into the pocket of his clothes. If he was lucky enough to go back, maybe he could take it back with him.
If Castel is really brought there, the lord might be able to use it to grow a forest of corn. That way, many people won't have to starve.
Recalling the memories he had seen in the North and the Empire, Isaac's eyes became more determined - he must leave here alive and return to Castel! Sliding down the corn stalks, Isaac was about to jump to the ground, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and the whole person became sluggish in an instant, falling down like a puppet.
And on the petiole above, Isaac's figure condensed again.
Isaac fell down and soon landed on the ground. Then the ground slowly moved and his figure gradually sank.
——That was not mud, but slowly creeping physical pollution! Isaac, who was above, watched in shock, his face full of relief for having survived the catastrophe.
A transcendent being like him is extremely afraid of physical contamination. Even if he is just slightly contaminated, he will be easily corroded. In this regard, mortals who have not come into contact with the Sea of Unconsciousness are safer.
"This huge crop is actually fed by pollution?"
Isaac suddenly remembered the pipes in the corridor that led directly to the underground, and he shuddered.
"Could it be that they are extracting pollution from the evil god's body to feed the plants and produce fruits?"
He took out the corn from his arms in disbelief, his hands shaking a little.
Using evil gods as fuel to provide power and pollution as nutrients to grow food, what kind of weird and terrifying existence is this?
Even a powerful evil god is just a consumable to maintain its operation. Does such a place really exist in the world?
Isaac didn't even think about the possibility of hallucination - he simply couldn't imagine such a weird and twisted scene.
Forcing down his surging emotions, he looked at the corn kernels in his hand with a bit of awe, and after thinking for a moment, he stuffed them into his pocket.
The greenhouse also has several platforms on the upper floors, which seem to be for the convenience of observation and recording, and there are doors on them.
Isaac used the wall to gain leverage, jumped up, unlocked the door silently, and pushed open the door.
This is another corridor, but there is a faint light in the distance.
Isaac was refreshed. The light meant that he could leave the church! This church was so strange that Isaac felt that he would go crazy if he stayed inside any longer.
He was about to walk over there when he suddenly paused.
A shrill alarm sounded, and with his extraordinary perception, he could vaguely feel the ground shaking slightly.
Someone was running by quickly! The owner of this church had discovered his escape! Isaac no longer had time to investigate slowly, and rushed towards the light as fast as lightning.
Turning the corner, the dark corridor was suddenly filled with light. Isaac tried to open his eyelids despite the glare, and everything around him was a little blurry.
This seems to be a skylight. Below, you can see circles of buildings and even a huge metal furnace that goes straight underground.
Twisted and twisted metal pipes were scattered all over it, with a few faint flames visible through the observation holes. The surging physical pollution seemed to carry the unwilling wails of the evil god as it was melted into slag by the ruthless steel.
Isaac shuddered and dared not look anymore. He felt that this place was like hell on earth.
He quickly raised his head. Since this was a patio with sunlight above, he must be able to get out from above!
Sure enough, this place was close to the top floor. He climbed over the guardrail of the patio, exerted force with his legs, and leaped upwards layer by layer! At the top of the church was a stone tablet, just above the patio. It looked like a memorial tablet. Isaac didn't dare to think about what kind of existence would be commemorated in such a terrifying church, so he just took a glance and prepared to leave.
But just this one glance made him stop in his tracks.
"Ch-Chloe?"
There was a diary hanging on the stone tablet, and Isaac saw it very familiarly - it was Chloe's diary! As the chief of the Fire Chasing Moths, Chloe could use this diary to communicate with the beings in the [Chrysalis], and even have simple communication with Brother Keschi. It was extremely magical and precious.
At this moment, familiar waves came from the diary! Chloe's soul is in this diary! ? Isaac's eyes trembled. There was only one possibility: Chloe was dead, and she kept her soul by using the [Pupa], and communicated with the world through this diary.
Chloe is dead?! The chief is dead!? Isaac was a little shaken for a moment. Chloe might not be the best fighter among the Fire Moths, but her overall knowledge and ability are the strongest. Even she can't handle the situation. Isaac's heart was cold. Is Castel still alive? Is the Fire Moth still alive?
Could it be that his Ashes Alliance is the last spark of the organization?
No, he must leave here alive and preserve the last legacy for the Fire Moth!
Regardless of the danger, Isaac rushed to the memorial and grabbed Chloe's diary!
