Chapter 346 Humanoid Questioning the Royal Capital

When Jiang Ge came to the cave space mentioned by the holy knight.

The scene in the cave became brighter under the illumination of the Holy Light Technique of the Glorious Church.

In front of you is an underground space full of traces of artificial excavation, covering an area of ​​about two hundred square meters.

There are extinguished objects, pots, bowls, stone tools and other utensils scattered on the ground. It is obvious that someone once lived here.

However, judging from the dust on these artifacts, those who lived here have either left or are dead, and have been for quite some time.

"Where is the living person found?" Jiang Ge asked.

"In front, Lord Saint, please follow me. Dr. Watson and His Excellency the Taoist Master have already passed by." The Holy Knight replied.

Passing through the living area with a large number of daily utensils, we came to the center of the underground cave. There was an altar with a very simple structure. Taiping Taoist Master and Lian Huasheng gathered there, surrounding a person who looked as skinny as

There is a pot next to the mummified old man.

And Jiang Ge also knew what happened to the people who lived here before.

The white bones were placed neatly on the altar and were very well preserved. What was not beautiful was that many of the bones had obvious scratches on them, and there was no dry meat on them at all.

Under normal circumstances, it takes a long time for a corpse to turn into bones. When the temperature is suitable, the flesh on the corpse will rot, become maggots, and then be eaten away bit by bit.

In some cool and sealed places, it is not so easy to completely decompose the corpse, at least the cave in front of you is such a place.

After glancing around, Jiang Ge walked straight onto the altar.

"He is a native living in this cave? How is the situation?" Jiang Ge asked the two people on the altar while looking at the skinny humanoid lying on the ground.

He has long hair and a beard, all with a withered pale color. He is wearing simple clothes similar to those of local folk rituals. He exudes a stench and can hardly see the breath of life on his body.

"It's not too good. It can only be said that the lamp has run out." Taoist Taiping replied.

"Your Majesty the Saint, I have a magical medicine that can temporarily wake him up. It will take about a stick of incense, but when the effect of the medicine wears off, he will die." Lian Watson looked at Jiang Ge, asking for advice in his tone.

.

"Then use it," Jiang Ge said, "but do you two understand the language of this world?"

Both of them shook their heads, and Lian Watson said, "Language is not a problem. I teach the saint to gain the favor of the Virgin, and I can understand people's hearts and minds."

Jiang Ge looked at Elizabeth in surprise, and received a smile from her in response, "That's exactly it."

"Let's start with the doctor," Jiang Ge said.

I saw Lian Watson taking out a small porcelain bottle from his bag, then pouring out two small white pills that were obviously products of modern craftsmanship from the porcelain bottle, and stuffing them into the mouth of the skinny humanoid.

When he looked up, he saw Jiang Ge looking at him with a strange look, so he laughed and said, "Sir, don't blame me, my little local elixir looks like this."

I believe you as a ghost!

Jiang Ge remembered that this guy used to feed him the same kind of stuff!

There was no time to trouble Lian Watson. After the skinny humanoid took the elixir, the remaining vitality in his body suddenly surged as if it had been ignited.

His body was trembling slightly, and under Lian Watson's control, he slowly opened his eyes.

His cloudy eyes were full of numbness, and he murmured a strange accent, like the dialect of some remote native tribe in the southern part of the empire.

"Dead, all dead..."

Isabel gently held Jiang Ge's left hand, and the power that could understand people's hearts was transmitted to Jiang Ge, allowing him to understand the meaning of the words of the humanoid in front of him.

As the fire after life burned, the pupils of the humanoid in front of him gradually regained focus, and Jiang Ge and others were seen.

"Dachun, Xiaochun, are you back?"

A choked and excited voice came out of the humanoid mouth, as if Jiang Ge and the others were people he knew.

"I'm sorry for you, I'm not a human! Did you come to ask for my life? Do you want to take me with you?" The humanoid was very excited, and his tone was mixed with self-blame, joy and other emotions. Although he woke up, there was nothing in front of him.

There is obviously something wrong with the humanoid's mind.

"I'm here to take you away," Jiang Ge thought for a moment, looked at the things in the pot next to him, and sneered, "Is my brain delicious? How does it compare to tofu?"

After hearing this, the skinny humanoid immediately burst into pain from the headshot, shouting that I am not a human being, it smells too good, please take me away, and so on.

"Okay, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I really want to take you away, but..." Jiang Ge said, "You ate my brain and made me forget a lot of things. Before I take you away, I want to

Let me ask you a question!"

"Dachun, Dachun, I will definitely tell you, I will definitely tell you!" The human figure murmured in reply with yellowing blood and tears in his eyes.

Jiang Ge and Taoist Master Taiping looked at each other and asked.

"When did the number of suns in the sky become ten?"

"Three years ago, one day three years ago, a hole was burned through the sky, and the other nine suns came out... This sun is poisonous. The ground has dried up, the lakes have dried up, and the rivers have dried up. Many people have died.

, many people died."

"What happened next?"

"Later, the imperial envoy from the dynasty came with a decree to take people to the royal capital. If they were willing to leave, they could follow them... Many people followed, but I heard that most of them died on the way."

"The people who stayed behind dug mountains and dug holes under the orders of the government. A group of people died while digging the holes... After the digging was completed, the government left a batch of grain and evacuated it."

"In the end, I will be the only one left, only I will be left..." The skinny human figure covered his face and cried bitterly, his voice getting weaker and weaker.

"Which direction is the royal capital?" Jiang Ge asked quickly.

"North, go north, through the mountains..." The voice of the skinny humanoid was intermittent, and the fire of life was like a candle, swaying in the wind, "I haven't been there either. I heard people say that there is still a gap between the royal capital and here.

After passing through the mountains, we took a big boat and walked northward for a month..."

"Dachun..., I'm going to die... When I die, tell me, will there be only one sun in the place you want to take me to...?"

The skinny humanoid stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to touch Jiang Ge, but before he could touch it, the voice suddenly stopped, and the body slowly turned into wood, then peeled off and sprinkled like incense ash, and finally turned into nothingness.

"Clean it up, let's fix it here for now."

Jiang Ge said indifferently, then looked up at the top of the cave, "The capital of this world's dynasty..."
