Chapter 2 Ash x Ashes

Chapter 2 Ash x Ashes

The fire girl guided Natasha closer to the Fire Sacrifice. Only then did Natasha discover that there were many tombstones erected on the right side of the road. There were even many stone coffins placed at the entrance of the sacrificial site, extending to the right rear.

There are several gargoyles standing along the stone steps, extending all the way to the entrance of the sacrificial site. They have huge stone wings. They are divided into two types according to the weapons in their hands. One is holding a light stick in its hand, and the other is

Gargoyles holding spiked spears and light staffs stood along the way, while others were distributed on the roofs and towers of the sacrificial hall.

Natasha got close to these gargoyles and even knocked them with her hands. It was indeed stone to the touch, but what made her curious was that the gargoyles holding the light sticks were burning all the time.

Seeing Natasha's curiosity, the fireproof girl came over and introduced: "This is a gargoyle from the Capital of Sin. It is temporarily serving as a guard for the sacrificial site. Lord Ashes originally planned to let the black knight guard this place, but for some reasons,

The more powerful Black Knight was rejected."

Natasha didn't pay attention to these stone statues, but thought that the person in charge who still wasted fuel and lit these lantern sticks even in the daytime, so-called ashes, was even more brainless.

As she got closer to the sacrificial site, Natasha's view of this building as a bunker became more and more accurate. The entire building was extremely low on the ground. You could even reach out and touch the eaves, and you could jump with a little force.

Getting to the roof is not difficult at all.

It wasn't until she stood at the entrance of the sacrificial site that Natasha could barely see the structure inside.

Looking from the foyer, the entire building is divided into three floors. The top is the corridor, which can be climbed up by the stairs on the left and right sides of the door. In the middle are five huge stone thrones, except for the middle one which occupies the central position.

, the others are lower than it and further forward, as if the other four are guarding it.

Under the throne is the third floor, which is buried underground. This floor is like the center of the entire sacrificial site. Only the brazier in the middle is burning. In front of the brazier sits a man wearing a huge sacrificial robe.

.

The entire interior of the sacrificial site looked to Natasha like a huge brazier, and what was burning was not the bottom floor, but the huge thrones on the second floor, as if the people originally sitting on those thrones were firewood.

I saw the fire prevention girl going straight down to the bottom floor and walking towards the person sitting next to the brazier.

The man was sitting cross-legged, sleeping with his head propped up on his right hand. He was wearing a huge sacrificial robe with a red background and embroidered with gold-edged holy texts. There was even a ribbon hanging straight from his neck to the ground.

"Lord Ashes, I'm back."

The man slowly woke up after hearing the sound, stood up and dusted himself off, but this made more dust flying in the air.

As expected of 'Lord Ashes', it was indeed all dust. Natasha thought to herself, and then saw the man standing up, with a twisted spiral one-handed sword stuck in the brazier.

The man turned around and opened his arms.

"Welcome back, my fire girl."

"Lord Ashes, this lady sent me back." After saying this, the fireproof girl stretched out her hand to point Natasha, who was standing behind her, forward.

"You let a blind nun go out alone without any protection or contact information. Is that how you formed your church?"

Natasha walked forward quickly and began to condemn the man.

After listening, the man lowered his head and muttered. It sounded like he was saying: "I thought so before Ludos told me who broke his leg."

"Lord Ashes(* ̄︿ ̄)"

The man immediately stood up straight and said, "It's my fault. It's my fault. It won't happen next time. There will be no next time."

Seeing the man like this, Natasha didn't know what to say. She could only secretly make up her mind to investigate later.

"I am Natalia Elianovna, how come there is such a unique church here?"

"Oh, this was rebuilt under the leadership of the new Pope Sullivan. I am just here to guard this sacrificial site. The fire girl and I will stay here to take care of it for the time being."

The man talked about the sacrificial site with great interest and introduced the huge stone throne one by one. He even planned to take Natasha to the top of the sacrificial site to see the magical bird's nest that he said could be exchanged for items.

When the man introduced her, Natasha seemed to have met a chatty person who couldn't stop talking, while the fireproof girl stood nearby and just watched with a smile.

As a last resort, Natasha could only interrupt the man's introduction.

"Sir, can you stop for a moment? Do you know that all churches in New York must register? If you have any legal questions, I can help. I happen to be doing a legal internship and can help you. But I need you to provide your name.

and related information.”

"My name is Ash Solar, and I am the chief priest of this sacrificial site. I have made all necessary registrations and registrations, and there are no problems."

After getting the name, Natasha wanted more information, so she asked: "Does your so-called sacrificial site need donations? It seems that you are so dilapidated, I can launch a fundraiser for you to help you improve this place.

environment of."

"In fact, we are not short of money. Some believers have bought most of the surrounding land and donated it to the sacrificial site. Even the private buildings outside the gate of the sacrificial site, and the rest, including roads and sidewalks, belong to the property of the sacrificial site.

"

After listening to Ash's words, Natasha didn't know what to say. She could only lament that she was so rich and lived in such a bad place. She was indeed a psychopath.

After that, Natasha walked around the sacrificial site and found that the entire dark sacrificial site was illuminated by candles. Candles were placed from the lowest steps all the way up to the third floor of the sacrificial site. Except for the blacksmith's stand under the foyer, the entire sacrificial site was

Not a single piece of iron was found, and of course the iron doors on the two towers must be considered iron.

Even the small passage under the blacksmith's bench was full of water, darkness, candles, and stagnant water everywhere made up the entire sacrificial site.

After walking around, I saw the fireproof girl and Ash again. The two seemed to have just finished talking, and then Ash walked towards Natasha.

"Miss Natalia, thank you for sending the fireproof girl. I will give you a miracle blessing to express my gratitude."

After saying this, Ash took out a coin, crushed it and sprinkled it towards Natasha. When he crushed it, Natasha seemed to hear a crisp sound from the bottom of her heart. Then she saw little golden lights floating towards Natasha.

Sha, eventually disappeared without a trace.

Feeling no change in her body, Natasha even felt that the little light was magic, but she still expressed her gratitude. She also said that she had something to deal with and left first.

After saying goodbye to the fire girl again, Natasha left the Fire Sacrifice. She did have something to do, get rid of this car that did not belong to her, and then find out the identity of Ash.

In the car, Natasha dialed Clint's phone.

"Cortana, congratulations. Fury told me that you passed the review." Clint's congratulations came as soon as the call was connected.

"Clint, I need you to help me check on someone's personal matter."

Natasha, who had just received the news that she had passed the review, could not mobilize SHIELD's forces to do things for her at this time. The sensitive period is not between the time before passing the review and the end of the review, but after that. So Natasha needs someone else.

Have someone you trust do this.

"Of course, I understand what you mean, who do you want to investigate?" Clint, who had introduced Natasha to SHIELD and even introduced his family to Natasha, naturally knew the ropes, and he also believed in Natasha.

, willing to help her with this favor.

"Ash Solar."

Items that appear: rusty coins. Ancient coins with rusty spots. After being broken into pieces, the treasure hunting ability can be temporarily improved. Those who lose their wealth will one day encounter greater wealth. This is an ancient blessing.
