Chapter 256: Captain, lost!
The white clothes on the corpses that have not completely rotted away are the robes of the gods of light.
Thousands of corpses lying neatly in this corpse pit are believers of light.
They came to Darkmoon Island at the invitation of Darkmoon Patriarch Bernard and made great contributions to the development of Darkmoon Island.
As General Tuffman said, the reason why Ancestor Bernard can become a hero respected by everyone on Darkmoon Island is not just because of his love story, but because he is great enough, because he has done enough Merit, on this basis, his love story will be talked about by later generations, cited as beautiful talk and legend.
Under Bernard's governance, Darkmoon Island has made great progress, transforming it from a small force hanging in the sea into a force that cannot be ignored in one area. The church talks about a partnership.
These are the foundations and definite structures laid by Bernard's era.
Karen hadn't read those two notebooks, but she could probably guess that Bernard must have promised something to be able to attract such a large force of the Remnants of Light to Darkmoon Island for cooperation.
For these bright remnants, having a foothold, a base, and a solid starting point from scratch is a temptation they simply cannot refuse.
However, they must be careful, because they know the sensitivity of their identities, but despite this, they were still invited to the island by Bernard. Here, Bernard's personal factors must have played a huge role.
But when the matter was over, after these bright remnants had contributed their strength and hard work to the development of Darkmoon Island, they were killed here.
This stone tablet is the tombstone that Bernard erected for them.
On the tombstone, their contribution was affirmed, and Bernard did not cover up his shameless betrayal.
This island is not far from Darkmoon Island, but it is permanently sealed. Even if you drive a boat right in front of it, you will not be able to see the existence of this island.
This is not a snake island, but a grave island;
Not only are the bodies of thousands of believers of light buried, but also the secret of the true rise of Darkmoon Island, as well as the filthy and dark side of the ancestor Bernard, who is praised by everyone.
Ophelia bit her lip, she is extremely complicated now.
Of course, Karen believes that she can recover quickly and will not "break down" because of this incident, even breaking her defense.
After all, as an ancestor, Bernard has made outstanding contributions to the islanders of Darkmoon Island for his descendants. Ophelia is a good competitor for the next generation of Darkmoon Island’s patriarch, even though she is still very young, but It's impossible for her not to know the dark side of being in a high position.
It's just that the story of the ancestor Bernard is too beautiful, so beautiful that there is a gap when it is really linked with reality.
This sense of difference also exists on Karen's side.
Because the "Bernard" he knew and knew was just a poor patriarch who was struggling to pursue Pu'er.
Even though Pu'er was very disgusted by his entanglement, ridiculed him in various ways, and even left him directly on a dangerous island for a "forgetting in the sea", he was still obsessed with this love that only touched him.
Oh no, he also used his lies to create a beautiful dream. In this beautiful dream, he not only touched himself, but also touched generations of people on Darkmoon Island.
So much so that when Ophelia stood in front of the Pu'er tombstone in the Wien Manor, her eyes were flushed.
This is a funny person, this is a sad person, you even have an emotion called sympathy for him.
But it was such a person that at this moment, Karen saw the cold blood under his mask.
Karen has been in contact with the people of the Light Cult. They are very cautious, and they are also very careful. They have a natural distrust of the things around them. Even with such a group of people, Bernard still successfully used and betrayed them.
Ophelia said, "I just started to read the notes. I think there should be a record of this paragraph at the end."
"Unfortunately, the answer was revealed in advance."
"What a pity?" Ophelia murmured.
"Probably, this is also the reason why your uncle needs the blessing of the Dark Moon when he signals you to look at these things. These things cannot be seen in the light."
Ophelia nodded and said, "The person you are chasing is the remnant of the light?"
"Yes."
"He knows the teleportation formation in his uncle's garden."
"Now it seems, yes."
"Who is his identity?"
"I have no idea."
"You're still hiding it from me."
"Yes, there are some things I can't tell you."
"We are of the same clan, aren't we?"
"I'm still looking for a sense of belonging, and now is not the time to discuss this, how should we go back?"
"That stele is just a connection point for the teleportation formation."
"Who was the previous owner of your uncle's garden?"
"It has always belonged to the industry in the palace, and the direct family members can use the power."
"That is to say, in the past, that other garden might have belonged to the ancestor Bernard?"
"Uncle said that the other garden once belonged to that person, and that person should be the leader of this group of remnants of the light...the group of believers of the light."
"The house is very big, and it doesn't necessarily mean that only one person lives here, so there is absolutely no one-way teleportation here, and the magic circle that teleports back to Darkmoon Island must also be on this island.
You see, these corpses are neatly arranged. It looks like they have been disposed of after killing people. Those who dispose of the corpses and those who left the tombstones must definitely go back.
Maybe, when Patriarch Bernard was alive, he would often come to see it. "
"have a look?"
"Remember the old friends, this is not a conflict, although he betrayed and killed them."
"Then let's start looking. I want to get out of here, and here, it shouldn't be made public."
"You sound like you're trying to silence me."
"You are the descendant of the ancestor Bernard, and you should protect the wisdom of the ancestor Bernard."
"Perhaps I can learn from the poet Rozin and leave a copy of "Karen's Secret Diary" to be published fifty years after my death."
"At this time, it's not suitable for humor. I hold back my anger and hide it for you tonight."
"I know, I know, so I want to distract you."
Ophelia stretched out her hand to grab Karen's collar, and Karen's eyes narrowed and she ducked with one leg.
"You have heard what my uncle and I said tonight. I said that I have a good impression of you."
"I also have a crush on you. You are beautiful and cute."
"Perhaps, I can learn from the ancestor Bernard and bury you here too. This is a good place to bury shame, isn't it?"
Karen heard the words and licked her lips;
He knew that she was angry.
In her capacity, from meeting in the afternoon to meeting in the evening to now, it is very rare that she has been forcibly endured until now has the signs of a catharsis erupting.
"I can do it, even if you also have the blood of the Darkmoon, you have a high status in the Sect of Order, but don't really irritate me."
"OK."
Ophelia nodded and said, "Now, look for the teleportation circle."
"OK."
Karen knew that she was angry or uncomfortable. Under this premise, unless she was willing to coax her, whatever she said would be a sin.
Fortunately, Karen believed she was just talking, and she could control her emotions.
The location of the teleportation circle should not be at the seaside, so the two of them marched towards the dense jungle.
There are many snakes on this island, and the soles of the shoes can easily step on the snakeskin on the ground when they are traveling, and they are a little brittle. Karen finally understands the origin of the name snakeskin bag.
However, although the island is densely vegetated, there seems to be no trace of other biological activities, so how do so many snakes reproduce?
There was a hillside in the center of the island, which was not high. Ophelia stepped on the rock and Karen followed behind. The two of them walked up while observing whether there were any caves around.
Finally, the two came to the top of the slope, where they could overlook the entire island, surrounded by the sea on all sides, bringing a sense of despair of being isolated and abandoned.
"Come separately, I'll go to this side, you go to the other side, and in an hour, reunite here." Ophelia suggested.
"I don't agree to look for it separately." Karen, who was silent all the way, finally said, "This is prone to accidents."
In an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, it is necessary to act separately, which is almost like helping "accidents" and forcibly paving the way for the occurrence of accidents.
But Ophelia seemed to have misunderstood Karen's meaning, and she said, "I won't leave you alone to teleport back."
Karen glanced at her and wanted to laugh, but she held back and tried to keep her tone calm:
"I never worried that you would leave me alone."
"Then why..."
"I'm timid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the dark."
Ophelia looked at Karen for a long time, then she could only nod her head and say, "Okay, let's go here."
Karen and Ophelia started downhill, with Ophelia in the front and Karen in the back.
Halfway down the slope, Ophelia stopped because a cave appeared in front of her.
"The teleportation circle is probably inside." Ophelia took out a night pearl from her pocket and touched it with her fingers. The light of the night pearl flickered immediately. This brightness is not inferior to a searchlight.
The two entered the cave, and the cave was surprisingly dry. It stands to reason that this should be the natural nest of snakes, but there were no snake scales or skins, nor the stench of snakes.
After walking in for a while, a door appeared in front of him, a stone door.
Karen was about to step forward to push, but Ophelia took the lead and stretched out her hand to push, and the stone door was pushed open.
The night pearl floated and flew into it, illuminating the environment inside.
There is a stove inside with a pot on it.
The stove is very small, which is to help support a pot.
Further down, there is a stone bed with a stone cabinet.
Here, it seems to be a living place with poor conditions but nothing lacking. Karen even saw a large can in the corner. Not surprisingly, this should be a "spittoon".
The night pearl floats upwards, and there is a chandelier carved out of stone above it. There should be oil in it, but it should not be ignited now.
"The direction we came from may be wrong. The entrance should be there." Karen pointed to the door on the other side of the wall.
Ophelia walked over, stretched out her hand and pushed it open. Inside the door was a larger space with a row of tables and chairs, like a living room.
As the night pearl continued to float and illuminate more places, two figures appeared in front.
The appearance of these two figures made Ophelia and Karen instantly enter a state of defense, but soon, both of them realized that it was a false alarm. It was not a human being, but two human-shaped stone sculptures.
Opposite the two human-shaped stone sculptures, there are two sarcophagi.
"This is the statue of the ancestor Bernard." Ophelia pointed to a stone sculpture and said, "This one looks familiar.
Karen took a closer look and found that it was a female stone sculpture.
The woman wears a hood, a necklace of jewels hangs around her neck, wears a long skirt, boots on her feet, and holds a magic wand in her hand.
Isn't this Pu'er!
"It's Pall," Cullen said.
"Oh, yes, I have seen her statue in the Missing Palace built by Patriarch Bernard for Ms. Pall. It is indeed her."
Karen's eyes noticed that the two hands of the stone sculpture were held together, like a couple standing close to each other.
This detail made Karen feel uncomfortable instinctively. If Ophelia was not by his side, he would probably have smashed this statue of Bernard directly.
Now, he can understand the emotions that Pu'er said about this person being annoying and disgusting. Bernard is really a person who is absolutely narcissistic to the point of nausea.
"The two sarcophagi are..." Ophelia looked at the two sarcophagi, "Does it symbolize the meaning of the ancestor Bernard and Ms. Pall to be buried together after death?"
"You can open it and take a look." Karen suggested.
Ophelia hesitated for a while, but nodded.
Karen bent down, reached out and grabbed the edge of the sarcophagus lid, and began to push with force.
Finally, Karen pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus by half, and it was empty and there was no body.
"It should be symbolic." Ophelia said her previous guess again.
Karen was noncommittal, came to the second sarcophagus, bent down, grabbed the lid of the coffin with both hands, and started to push.
To Karen's surprise, this push didn't stir up as much dust as before.
This means that this sarcophagus has just been opened!
Who is it, who is it?
Captain, is that you?
Captain has been here before? Where is the captain now?
After all, it was sent by three people together, most likely the captain.
Karen pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus. Inside this coffin was not empty, but a female corpse was lying inside.
The female corpse has been dehydrated and turned into a mummified corpse, but she still retains some of her appearance before her death, and the clothes on her body are also robes of light.
"Not Ms. Pall," Ophelia said.
Nonsense, Pu'er should be sleeping on the big bed in the bedroom at this point now, how could he be lying here?
Karen shook her head and said, "It's his wife."
"His wife?"
"This is not a symbolic arrangement, it should be an arrangement of two families, implying the friendship and relationship between the two parties."
"Is it the one who left the notes?"
Her uncle left her two notes, one is from the ancestor Bernard, the other is from "him", and "he" is the leader of this team of believers of the light.
"It should be." Cullen pointed to Bernard's stone sculpture, "He continued their friendship in this way. The two stone sculptures, one represents Bernard himself, next to Ms. Pall, and Belle The woman that Na thought should be her other half.
Opposite, in the two coffins, there should be the 'him' and the 'his' wife. "
Ophelia noticed that Cullen didn't use an honorary title when she mentioned "Berner" this time, but she just took it for granted that Cullen didn't have a sense of belonging to her bloodline and Darkmoon Island.
In fact, Karen's disgust for Bernard has risen to an extreme.
How shameless do you have to be to be able to act like this after killing everyone else's subordinates and his wife?
Really, so shameless.
"Only his wife?" Ophelia asked.
"He should have escaped and was not killed by Bernard."
"Escaped? The person you chased? Is it his descendant?"
"Looking at it now, that's it."
That "he" should be the descendant of the mad Pope, a member of the "Filias" family. That person died on the seabed. His body was discovered by the captain. He fused together.
So it's not wrong to insist that the captain is a descendant of "his".
The former Philias, with a large team of believers of the light, cooperated with Bernard to help Bernard build Darkmoon Island. After that, Bernard killed them all.
Philias' wife also died in this betrayal, and Philias himself escaped.
Did he die in an accident while facing the chase after escaping, or did he die in an underwater cave after a period of time after escaping?
Karen had no way of knowing this.
But with the hints in the captain's "memory", Philias must be this "he".
No wonder the captain didn't want to wait all day. Even if the current owner came back, he still insisted on coming in to find this secret. The secret here is really very important to "him".
"The teleportation circle doesn't seem to be here." Ophelia said, she was still more concerned about how to get back.
"It should be out from here, maybe it's outside. We came in through the back door before, and this is the front door."
Karen packed up her emotions, pushed the coffin lid back and closed it, stood up, and motioned Ophelia and herself to go out.
There is also a stone gate outside. After pushing it open, the view outside instantly becomes clear. Here, it is facing Darkmoon Island.
And there is a platform covered by trees outside, you can clearly see the traces of pouring, the teleportation circle, it is there!
"Someone!"
Ophelia reminded.
Karen also noticed that there was a man standing on the platform with a deer's head on his head.
team leader!
Karen breathed a sigh of relief, the captain is here waiting for him to go back together, well, tonight's adventure or farce can be over, he really misses the soft bed in the standard room of the hotel, he should really go to the hot spring tonight .
However, in the next scene, Karen's heart, which had just been put down, was lifted up in an instant.
"Eliza, you left me, Eliza..."
Does the captain miss Miss Eliza?
"Jennifer, you left me, Jennifer..."
Jennifer?
Karen instinctively thought of the woman lying in the coffin she pushed open earlier.
At this time,
The captain turned to look at where Karen and Ophelia were.
A feeling of palpitations emerged from Karen's heart. When the captain called out the strange woman's name "Jennifer", Karen knew that something was wrong.
The captain stretched out his hand and took off the deer head he was wearing.
What was revealed was not the face wrapped in black veil, nor the captain's face, but a **** face.
team leader,
Has taken off his mask. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The captain's eyes fell on Ophelia, he took a deep breath, and said with a wicked smile:
"It's the smell of the Darkmoon bloodline... That's right... It's the smell... Haha... The Dark Moon... should die... The blood of the Dark Moon... should be extinct!"
team leader,
lost.
