The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The dazzling fire burned in the sky, and its light gradually became softer, illuminating no longer the gloomy sky, but the stone walls with obvious signs of weathering.

Ivan's eyes finally moved away from the stone carvings on the wall. The Thunderbird looked at the stone cups arranged in an equilateral triangle and the knight's skeleton kneeling in front of the shrine.

"I didn't expect that the Holy Grail is also a trinity..." he said. "This labyrinth not only has such an ontological form, it also folds time and space. The three Holy Grails are stored in different places."

He first pointed to the stone cup in the lower left corner: "From the perspective of the order of the river of time, the first one to be born is it - the 'Tear Cup'. The cup containing tears of regret."

Then, his finger moved to the top: "Next is the 'Blood Cup', which symbolizes God's sacrifice and God's forgiveness. Since its birth, after humans were driven out of Eden, the road to God has been reopened. opened…"

Finally, he pointed to the lower right corner: "Finally, there is the 'empty cup' that symbolizes the present. It is waiting to be obtained, and it contains time, the future, and life..."

Ivan stopped narrating. The meanings of the tear cup and the blood cup are very clear, but what the empty cup contains in the end is a bit confusing...

Time, future, life? What do these words mean?

"If time and space are folded, then Sean may have been transported to the time period where the tear cup or blood cup was stored." Aaliyah said.

"It's very possible. It's not easy to retrieve the Holy Grail from the depths of time and space. We have to wait for him here. The place we are in is not the third 'empty cup' in the history where the Tears Cup and the Blood Cup are stored. It's probably here. If possible, in addition to waiting for Sean to come back, we have to make sure the empty cup doesn't fall into the hands of the Gehrmans."

Although neither of them are full believers in Salvationism, it is the consensus of almost all the explorers to prevent the sacred objects from falling into the hands of the SS.

There was still no definite news about Sean. Aaliyah looked anxiously at the black humus that was slightly illuminated by light outside the cave, and her eyes turned to the remains of the Templars inadvertently.

The skeleton was slightly raised, as if staring at the Holy Grail on top.

Following the dead man's gaze, Aaliyah looked at the wall, her brows suddenly frowned: "Ivan, this shrine is set up in the maze passage, does it have other functions and meanings?"

An artificially excavated shrine suddenly appeared in the natural cave, and the energy emitted from it fed a large amount of black sheep matter. A Templar knight even died here... The two of them were immediately blessed, and they gently placed the knight's remains in the natural cave. Next to her, Aaliyah quickly knelt down in the knight's position.

She raised her head and followed the sight of the skeleton upwards... In the center of the triangle formed by the three stone cups, she saw a faint diamond-shaped mark. The depression is formed by the staggered arrangement of stone bricks and cannot be discovered without kneeling down.

"There's the diamond-shaped logo of the Templars there!" She pointed excitedly in the direction of the stone wall, and Ivan quickly squatted down next to her. Their faces were very close to each other, and he quickly saw the logo.

Mazes, shrines, hidden signs... Ivan's eyes moved. He had some ideas, so he probed his ectoplasm - it was obviously an interface. If he connected his ectoplasm to it...

The ectoplasmic tentacles could no longer enter, and there was a faint repulsive force from the interface that repels Ivan.

"No, my soul has nothing to do with the Salvationist faith. I am just a pagan and cannot be connected. You can try it."

Aaliyah was baptized in Leon when she was a child. Although she did not often attend sermons and worship, she never did anything that violated the teachings and precepts. Not only that, although she is now King, she is one of the rare explorers who has gained powerful power without relying on other beliefs...

Aaliyah probed the ectoplasm. Her ectoplasm did not feel the resistance from the interface and was inserted smoothly.

The ectoplasm cautiously probed forward in a cavity. Soon, she touched a warm object, and her spiritual essence merged with that object smoothly...

Done!

She closed her eyes and felt the thing that the ectoplasm was integrated into. She saw a little light awakening lazily in the darkness, and then began to spread along an invisible vein inside the wall...

She felt that her soul was connected to a huge system.

The light flows along the long-dried river, like a nerve cord being reawakened inch by inch. Soon after, she felt that her mind extended to another shrine, and another shrine...

The shrines are like nodes, spreading and connecting, as if forming veins on the leaves.

With her eyes closed, feeling the thoughts spreading in her mind, Aaliyah said: "The Knights have built many shrines in this underground maze, and the shrines are connected to each other, forming a global monitoring system...

"After being connected, my perception can travel throughout the maze..."

Ivan was also a little excited: "Can you find Sean?!"

Aaliyah didn't speak. Her mind wandered along the crystal nerve cords, and gradually touched the edge of the "nerve", and a huge structure appeared in her heart. The veins that branched again and again finally formed a glorious and gorgeous phoenix feather...

Aaliyah shook her head: "No trace of anyone has been found yet."

As her thoughts deeply assimilated with the maze, Aaliyah frowned: "The tunnels of this maze are intricately intertwined, like the huge root system of some kind of plant...

"Many places in this root system have been corrupted..." Her eyes opened slightly, revealing the same glow as the diamond-shaped interface, "The power of the Hessian Sheep Mother once spread unbridled here, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com As far as I can see, the Knights Templar once fought a desperate battle with this old master in this maze...

"In the end, the Knights were almost completely wiped out. However, the black lives that came here basically lost their activity and were scattered in this maze to survive."

Arya saw many knight skeletons, and more black humus...

Hundreds of years ago, an unknown guard war broke out underground. The tragedy is beyond human imagination.

"So, the once prosperous Knights Templar declined. The Hessian Sheep Mother once invaded this maze, and in order to stop it, the Knights exhausted their energy." Ivan said slowly, "Not only was this guard battle not recorded History that no one even knows…”

In order to prevent the old masters from getting the power of the Holy Grail, the holy warriors paid too much.

It's not that the Knights forgot their responsibilities and left only an old drunkard to guard the Holy Grail, but that the entire Knights had been burned out in that guarding battle, and only the last bit of fire was left, on the mountain of Montserrat, on the Drifting in the monastery of Guani…

Following the neural pathways, Aaliyah's intuition spread to a huge darkness.

She felt a huge ominous atmosphere coming from the darkness.

"What's wrong, Aaliyah?" Ivan asked.

Her expression was very serious and her face was a little pale: "I feel great malice, so pure..." She adjusted her breathing, "It's so pure that it's like the original Heisen Sheep Mother radiates."

"The Holy Grail may be in there, I have to go in and take a look."

Aaliyah held Ivan's hand tightly and tried to spread her thoughts into the huge darkness...
