Chapter 478 West ← Myrcella? → East
Following the guidance of Aigalan and the Holy Gunners, Horn and his party arrived at the rock wall.

Next to the seeping rock cracks, there is a zigzag stone staircase that goes all the way up.

The sound of dripping water merged with the sound of footsteps, and the firelight and fluorescent light played a symphony, making the light and shadows on everyone's faces sway left and right.

As the blue light of the fluorescent moss became more and more dense, Horn and others finally stepped onto the artificial platform next to the palace.

Witt was the first to run towards the palace not far away. He ran around with a torch in his hand, and the timidity he had shown during the witcher incident seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"This is the Light Shepherd Clan, no, no..."

"Oh, that's right, the style of the Norn evil god. No, no, they don't have the technology to do that."

"Yeah, right?"

"What kind of building is this?"

Listening to Witt's desperate screams, Horn led Jeanne to the door of the palace.

In front of him was a bronze door carved with spiral ram horn patterns. Horn let go of Jeanne's hand, stepped forward, and reached out to push it, but it didn't move.

"Your Majesty, this bronze door has been rusted for too long and cannot be opened from this side. We can only enter through the hole in the wall."

Horn brushed his fingers over the exposed stones of the collapsed wall, and he stooped and stepped across. His back rubbed against the wall, but he did not feel any roughness.

"Your Majesty, this is the mural we found."

After entering the palace, before Horn could take a good look at the ancient palace, Rafael stood next to a row of neat columns and pointed in the opposite direction and said.

As the resin torches were lit one by one, a corridor about 30 meters long appeared in the pungent smoke, leading into the darkness.

In the dim firelight, a wall of scroll-like murals did appear on the side of the marble column with the shrine.

The mural is rather dark, but the colours have a rustic, warm undertone.

Under the smooth and winding lines, little people walk among the exquisite buildings, plants and mountains, and all the details are lifelike.

The murals of the Guairian period are generally made of red ochre, blue copper and lead yellow, and usually begin to fade away after three to four hundred years.

But it was unknown what technology was used to create the mural before him; the colors had not faded much, and Horn could even clearly see the blurry expression of the little man on the mural.

"Your Majesty, I will take you to see a strange place..."

"No need." Horn carefully observed the first mural. "We can go through the corridor and review the contents of the Gospel."

Perhaps due to limited space, the mural does not begin with the creation of the world, but jumps directly to the second chapter of the Post-Gospels, the Preaching.

This chapter mainly tells about Myrcella's birth, life, apprenticeship and enlightenment.

The content of the murals is completely consistent with the records in the Gospel, including the fact that the Holy Lord was expelled from the capital of the Ai'er Empire, the City of the Sun, and then went to the southern city of Limed to preach, where he was arrested by the local governor.

When Horn arrived in front of the mural, his pupils suddenly contracted. At this point, the mural finally differed from the Gospel.

The description of Myrcella's beheading in the Gospels is that after Myrcella's head was chopped off, she reached out and lifted up her head and put it back on her neck.

In an instant, flesh and blood solidified, the Holy Lord was resurrected and fought his way out of the sinful city of Limide.

In this mural, after the axe-wielding man chopped off the blond man's head, the headless corpse on the ground stood up just as in the Gospel.

But the difference is that in the next painting, the headless corpse actually just waved the chains and escaped from the city, leaving only the blond man’s head in its place!

What do you mean? Turn around and run?

Walking on the cold and damp floor, Horn continued forward along the marble shrine column, his brows furrowed more and more.

In the previous painting, the headless body of the blond man just ran away, but in this painting there is no follow-up.

Since there was no background in the painting, Horn could only see the blond man standing inexplicably on the round table.

Although the face of the little governor wearing a red hat was blurred, Horn could still see his fear.

In the next painting, the situation changed again, as if the misunderstanding was resolved, and the blond man drove the carriage away from Limide in a very lively manner.

No, then how exactly is your brain connected?
Horn touched the circular scar on his neck. At least he still had a "Flying Head Barbarian". Oh my god, how did you come back to life?
"Is there a missing part in the middle?" Armand also noticed something unusual, and felt as if something was omitted in the middle. "Why can't it be connected?"

"No, this is a scroll painting. It looks casual, but the painting has strict requirements on the size." Witt, who had received a lot of artistic training, leaned his head against the mural and stared, "There are no signs of repainting or missing paintings."

Isn't it a repainting or a lack of paintings? Horn didn't say anything more, just continued forward along the corridor.

According to the Gospel, the rest of the story is that after Myrcella escaped from Limid, she felt that there were too many sins in the Western Continent, so she went to the Eastern Continent to preach under the guidance of a wise man.

This is the chapter of "The Gospel of the Eastern Tour". In this chapter, Mircella immediately increases rapidly and starts killing the natives of the East Continent!

The dwarves were driven to the mountains by Myrcella, and the giant dragons that originally ruled the East Continent were all killed by Myrcella in the Dragon Sleep Mountains. The evil gods were even killed and fled to the grasslands.

With this achievement, the poorer and purer Aiel people of the East Continent quickly converted to the Myrcella religion.

Horn felt something was wrong when he saw it, because the Gospels have always been more about reasoning than narration, and more about preaching than killing.

Under normal circumstances, Myrcella is very restrained, and usually doesn't listen to teachings before using her boxing skills.

Why is it that in "Eastern Tour Records" people just kill without explaining the reason?
In the church's interpretation, this was understood to mean that the only way to deal with the sinful pagans was to eliminate them, so they were killed on a large scale.

But the content of the mural now shows that the blond figure representing Myrcella did not go east after leaving Limed, but went west!

That is the core area of ​​the empire.

Unlike the murderous people in "Eastern Tour", this blond little man rarely took action. He preached and cured diseases and recruited followers along the way.

The contents of the three paintings are about controlling floods, droughts and bandits, winning over three followers and countless new believers...

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Following behind Horn, Rafael asked Horn who suddenly stopped.

Looking at the contents on the mural, the muscles between Horn's eyebrows twitched.

A drowning blue-haired woman, a green ranger chopping down trees, a laughing red-nosed clown.

These three followers with halos on the back of their heads cannot be matched with any saints in history, but they can be matched with the three evil gods in "The Gospel: Crossing the Sea"!

The Lady of the Lake, the Man in Green, and the Clown God represent lust, plague, and greed respectively.

On the road of returning eastward with the survivors led by Myrcella, three evil gods, under the order of the devil, blocked the immigration. The two sides fought with wits and courage, and were finally killed one by one by Myrcella.

These three evil gods are also considered the ancestors of witches, ogres, and vampires.

But on this mural, the blonde little person Myrcella and her three mortal enemies were actually preaching around a campfire.

The dark corridor became quiet, with only the sound of people breathing.

Looking at the mural in front of her, Jeanne felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.

Unlike Horn, the grandson of the Saint who passes through his hands with money every day and sits on the tip of the tongue of the Saint Lord, Jeanna is much more pious, and this has not changed even after she became a witch.

After going through so much, especially the existence of a certain saintly grandson, Jeanna thought that even if something outrageous happened, she would not be surprised.

But the murals before her still made her speechless.

This is ridiculous.

After coming out of the monastery, Armand, who was extremely familiar with the Gospel, was dumbfounded and chuckled, unable to utter a word.

"Holy Lord, Holy Lord... This is simply blasphemy!"

Holding the cross in their hands, several senior believers trembled as they prayed on the spot.

Following Horn's footsteps, the group felt increasingly depressed, but fortunately the subsequent murals returned to normal.

After arriving in the prosperous heart of the empire with three followers, the blond man began to preach to the poor, teaching them farming and breathing techniques.

This scene is strikingly similar to the last section of "Eastern Tour", in which Myrcella in the book developed her own power in the Eastern Continent in this way.

Then came the classic plot: the governor of the empire captured Myrcella again and sent her to the imperial capital, Yongxia City.

At this point, the mural miraculously connects to the last section of "Eastern Tour".

If Horn is right, the next section of the mural will be the longest chapter in the post-Gospel biography of Messiah, the Crossing of the Sea.

"What's behind?" Horn, who was engrossed in watching, was stunned when the dim colors and silky lines on the wall disappeared.

"Behind, why is there nothing behind?"
