After raising the question, Christina fell into a state of tension.
She herself didn't know which answer she was expecting, "I don't know you" or "Actually, I know your parents very well."
Of course, as an adolescent girl, Tina had imagined that she was actually a member of a hidden wealthy family. She had imagined that her parents were actually wealthy, pretending to be ordinary people commuting to get off work every day just to "experience" their daughters.
But after entering the world of occultism and learning too much secret knowledge in just one day, she was not sure whether this "extraordinary" was a good thing or a bad thing.
Her parents are Beyonder, or even Angel, which will inevitably bring about huge changes in her and Dorothy's lives, and this may not be a good direction.
For example, Pierre, who claims to have been swallowed by darkness because he extinguished the candles in Underground Catacombs 18 years ago and has only recently returned to reality, is completely a victim of extraordinary power.
Fortunately, "Genie" didn't give Tina too much time to think. He didn't change the topic or act stupid like he did a few times before. He answered almost instantly:
"If you say you have interacted with them and had some contact, then my answer is: yes.
"But I am not their friend, let alone their enemy. The relationship between us is better to say... collaborator."
"Cooperate? Like what?"
Because the conversation in his mind was always shared between the three, Dorothy immediately joined the conversation and asked in a curious tone.
It seemed that he was approaching the final seal. Genie no longer concealed some things that he had to avoid talking about before changing the topic, but answered slowly in the minds of the two of them:
"For example, my relationship with you is the same now. I am also trying to get them to free me from the seal, or to get some ancient and mysterious knowledge from me."
Isn't this the situation I face today? Could it be that when my mother was young, she also picked up "Magic Wishing Lamp" like me, gained occult knowledge from Genie, and then tried to break the seal and release it? Tina was thinking, suddenly realized something, and continued to ask:
"Mom came to this Underground Catacombs 18 years ago just because she wanted to unlock the seal of 'Magic Wishing Lamp'?
"Could it be that Bayam, Resurrection Square and even Giant King’s Court of the East Continent all left her footprints?"
It seemed that there was a brief silence on Genie because of Tina's speculation.
After a moment, He answered in a voice that had lost its sense of majesty and was no longer magnificent:
"Although there are some problems with the order and causality, the seven seal positions of 'Magic Wishing Lamp' do have a certain relationship with your mother... Of course, she had not met me 18 years ago, and she did not come here to lift the seal."
Sure enough, Genie has truly admitted that he has a relationship with his mother, and Tingen City North Borough's Street Park, Backlund East Borough the End Church church in, Bayam Penthouse suite near the port, Resurrection Square in Cookawa City, Giant King’s Court In the deepest part of the world, Yarnam City, Church of the Fool, and now Underground Catacombs are all places where my mother has been. Even those legends are closely related to her. In this way, "Golden Queen" Could it be that the inseparable Gehrman Sparrow is... Tina's mind flashed back to the places she quickly arrived and left today, and the doubts in her heart not only did not decrease, but became more and more.
At the same time, Dorothy also continued to ask Genie, who suddenly became very knowledgeable:
"Then why did mom come here 18 years ago, when she was almost an adult?"
"The Underground Catacombs of Trier was once part of a huge seal. Of course, that was not the seal that trapped me in the magic lamp, but it was made to bury the Old Trier of Fourth Epoch so that the power inside would no longer leak...
"Trier of Fourth Epoch is the ruins of a divine war. Various forces that even God cannot control or handle are lingering. The mainstream belief of Intis at that time The believers of Eternal Blazing Sun and God of Steam built a new Trier City above it, forming a seal with millions of residents and more corpses, allowing these powers to stay quietly deep underground.
"As a price, and also as part of the side effects of the power of God at that time, various strange phenomena will occur in this Underground Catacombs, one of which is the 'hidden' power encountered by this Pierre. Your mother accidentally entered Underground Catacombs due to the influence of the powers in the seal, but soon left. It was not until she truly had the power to solve the problems here that she returned here.
"Of course, these historical issues have been resolved, and Trier underground is no longer full of danger. Otherwise, the moment you blew out the candle, you would have been affected by the 'hidden' power and all traces of its existence would have been erased."
It turns out that Pierre was not making up the story. He really encountered a supernatural event and lost 18 years of his life... No wonder Genie just said that candles are just symbolic now... Only then did Tina fully believe what happened to Mr. Trier University, but he had new questions in his heart.
Her mother, Angel Granger, is not Beyonder now, but according to Genie, she once had the power to solve the "crisis" of Underground Trier. It is also related to many Saint and Angel, and there is even a Ms. Angel "Chariot" who looks almost the same and has the same name...
"Genie, is my mother really not Beyonder, nor... God?"
She repeated the question Magic Mirror Arrodes in her mind.
This time, Genie did not answer directly:
"We are approaching the last seal. Today's journey is coming to an end. When we get there, all your questions will be answered."
Phew——Tina heard his sigh in the quiet Underground Catacombs where only the footsteps of three people could be heard.
Could it be that my mother was once really "Golden Queen", a Angel, but for some reason, her identity and strength have changed, so now she is just an ordinary person in Tingen City? Only in this way can all the previous questions be explained at the same time, and Arrodes's answer can be satisfied... This idea came to her head, and she immediately smiled to herself.
If Tina initially just wanted to let "Magic Wishing Lamp" realize his wish, now he wants to know more about his parents' past and have a deeper understanding of their experiences and past. Unfortunately, both Arrodes and Genie avoid talking about it, and they have a strange feeling that "you will know when you get there."
Anyway, it's the last sealing location. Speaking of which, now I can walk the same path that my mother walked... Tina calmed down and continued to follow the somewhat familiar Trier University student Pierre, walking deeper into Underground Catacombs.
With Tina and Dorothy, Pierre shuttled through the underground corridors with no apparent rules, and soon reached the second underground floor through the ancient stone stairs.
The area here is obviously larger than the first floor, and there are not only tombs on the walls on both sides of the passage, but also separate tombs with their own names. They are filled with corpses that have become bones. The excess ones are piled on the roadside, making the already not spacious road even narrower.
Tina even noticed that the hands and feet of some skeletons lay across the passage, as if they were deliberately creating obstacles for passers-by and trying to trip them up.
Combined with Underground Catacombs's ancient rule of "lighting a candle," Tina is a bit creepy.
If Underground Trier's divine power has not yet dissipated, if a bystander accidentally stumbles over the skeletons on the roadside, the candle will inevitably fly out, and it will most likely be swallowed up by darkness and forgotten by everyone.
Fortunately, the tombs have become a safe place. Along the way, they saw many tourists dressed as Trier university students or communicating in different languages. These people were very interested in the ancient tombs of Trier. They stopped in front of the tombs, walked into them to see the remains of the deceased hundreds of years ago, and even took photos.
"The solemn and serious atmosphere has been ruined by these tourists..." After being blinded by the flash again, Pierre complained to Tina in a low voice, "We are about to reach the third floor. Where is your destination Underground Catacombs?"
"Near the entrance from the third to fourth floors."
Tina replied with a smile.
In fact, the instruction of "Genie" was to the fourth level, but Tina was worried that the enthusiastic Pierre would prevent them from entering the deepest part, and was also afraid that the other party would follow her and refuse to leave, so she lied.
"If it was last year... I mean 18 years ago, I would definitely stop you. The third and fourth floors of Underground Catacombs are larger than the upper two floors, and there are many passages connecting the nearby abandoned quarries and deep grottoes. Once you get lost and the candles burn out, you will be in the dark Eternal Sleep...
"But even now, it is dangerous for two underage girls to wander around Underground Catacombs without the guidance of their parents."
Pierre said while holding the candle.
This person is quite enthusiastic, but judging from the current situation, there is no danger if the candle goes out, but you have become a problem for me and Dorothy... Tina cursed, but was embarrassed to disappoint this enthusiastic person, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this moment, Dorothy suddenly brought his candle closer to his face, made his expression sincere, and said in a soft tone:
"Actually, we just want to look for my mother's footprints. This is a kind of... nostalgia."
"Miss you..."
Pierre's expression was a little dull, and then he sighed softly. He obviously misunderstood what Dorothy meant, or perhaps this was the effect that the latter deliberately wanted to create.
"Let's go then, I'll take you to the deepest level of Underground Catacombs."
His pace quickened a little.
After passing through some college students who were singing and dancing around the corpse, who were said to be practicing courage, and rejected a businessman who promoted the "Samaritan Women's Spring" spring water from the deepest part of the tomb, Pierre took his daughters who were "old acquaintances" in his memory and stepped into the third level of the tomb.
It consists of a huge square connecting the second and third floors engraved with the church's holy symbols such as Steam, Fool, and Doomsday, more named or unnamed tombs, and intricate passages. Pierre calls it Old Ossuary.
Fortunately, the core area of the ossuary has black lines printed on the ceiling for guidance. Pierre held up the candle and followed the line quickly bringing Tina and Dorothy into a huge but empty hall.
This place is different from other tombs. There are no bones. The floor and walls are smooth and clean, with no dead bones or moss. However, a Black Stone Pillar that penetrates the floor and ceiling stands in the center of the hall, as if growing from a deeper tomb, penetrating all the way to the ground.
"This is 'Night Pillars'. There are three Underground Catacombss in total, running through the floors between the third and fourth floors, but no one knows whether there are continuations in the deeper locations. Some occult researchers believe that they lead directly to the depths of Trier, leading to the old Trier before Sauron Dynasty... Bypass it, and behind it is the ladder to the fourth floor."
Pierre introduced.
The three of them were holding candles, but the weak firelight only barely illuminated the black stone pillar. Instead, it made the irregular pillar with a smooth surface, as if made of obsidian, even more mysterious.
At this time, Genie's majestic and majestic voice sounded in Tina's mind:
"This is part of Fourth Epoch Trier's seal. It was transformed from the body of 'Catastrophe' Demoness after his death."
Demoness of Catastrophe... is Sequence 2 of Demoness Pathway, a real Angel... Tina recalled the unfamiliar occult knowledge and slowly approached "Night Pillars", holding a candle in one hand and reaching out to the black cylinder with the other, stroking its cold surface.
Suddenly, a burning feeling came out of Night Pillars, flowed into her fingertips, and entered her body.
It was anger, despair and doubt, the strongest emotions that Demoness had before his death.
This... this seems to be related to me, Demoness Pathway's Angel's body after death, could it be...Tina suddenly thought of the unresolved question before.
Could it be that mom...
Just as she made a guess, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind her. The sound came from far and near, and was obviously not from Pierre and Dorothy. Tina turned back sharply, holding the candle above her head, trying to see clearly the surrounding darkness.
A white figure slowly appeared from the darkness. It was a woman who didn't look too old. She had black hair flowing down, and she was wearing a simple white robe. Her facial features were extremely delicate, and her temperament was so holy that she didn't belong in a dark and damp tomb.
This feeling reminded Tina of Backlund East Borough Archbishop Shermane in the church, but the temperament coming from inside the body and the unmodified beauty far surpassed the other person, giving Tina a strong sense of surprise.
So beautiful, I really want to be held in her arms...Tina Thinking about it, I almost forgot that I was still deep in the tomb, and that the other party appeared strangely like a legendary female ghost.
"Good afternoon, two... um, tourists?" Seeing that Tina and Dorothy both looked blank, the woman in white took a few steps closer, tilted her head and said, "Why do you want to touch that 'Krismona Night Pillar'?"
The voice sounded gentle, like feathers brushing against Tina's earlobes. She couldn't help but shiver and replied involuntarily:
"We wanted to go to the fourth floor of Underground Catacombs. When we passed by, we were curious about the 'Night Pillars', so we touched it. I'm sorry."
She didn't know why she wanted to apologize, but looking at the confused expression on the other person's face, she couldn't help but do so.
It was only then that Tina noticed that Pierre, who had just been holding a candle beside him, had disappeared.
As if she knew what she was thinking, the woman continued:
"The person who is not related to this matter has been isolated from 'Mirror World' by me. There are only three of us here.
"That Night Pillars was once part of the underground seal, but it is of no use now. If you want to touch it, you can touch it at any time."
It sounded like he was touching someone's body... Tina's face felt a little hot when he heard it, and he quickly moved his hand away from Black Stone Pillar.
"Then who are you?"
Dorothy on the side also recovered from the shock of seeing the other party's beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament for the first time, and asked.
"I am Krismona."
The woman with a little light golden growth at the roots of her black hair and a hint of purple in the depths of her crystal blue eyes answered.
