Chapter 436: The Bells Ring
……

On the uphill way to the castle, Oval seemed to finally remember something about what Anti had asked about before and some legends about the miracle twins in Pu.

"Mother?" Anti heard the word proposed by Oval.

"The earliest city of Asaron was just a small village belonging to the common people. However, it was able to develop first in dangerous times. In fact, it was not because of the Miracle Twins at the beginning. At that time, the Miracle Twins were not born yet, but there was already a person with magical powers who provided people with a corner of peace. The reason why Asaron was able to attract so many people to come here in the early days was because of this mysterious person."

Oval thought for a moment and then said, "This mysterious being is said to be the mother of the miracle twins."

Anti was stunned for quite a while.

Because the achievements of the Miracle Twins are so exaggerated, people subconsciously ignore the very common thing that "since they are human, these guys naturally have parents."

It’s like Anti didn’t ask Xiuman “Do you remember your parents in each of your lives?” It’s hard to think of such a tricky thing.

Thinking in this way, the Lebaons clan is a subspecies of human beings, so this infinite god of war must also have parents.

When you think about it this way, doesn’t it seem like everyone has become more friendly?
But mothers also have innate powerful powers?

"And is there any magical power that is steadily spreading among ordinary people?"

"It's not clear, but it should be that only this mother and the Miracle Twins possess special powers. Other than that, we don't have any more legends." Oval denied.

“But the mother died after giving birth to the miracle twins. Until now, we don’t even remember the name of this great mother.” Oval sighed.

"Is it related to the First Miracle Worker?" Anti used his "special power" to make an association.

"I'm sorry, it was too long ago and we don't remember much. You may need to go to the castle in person to find the answer." Oval said helplessly.

As the two talked, the ancient castle in the mountains was getting closer.

It's the kind of place that feels perfect for a classic Gothic horror plot.

Of course, in fact, the colors used in this castle are very warm, and it does not look cold even though it is next to the mountain. When you get closer, it feels like you have come to a mysterious garden rather than a gloomy horror movie set.

What is particularly eye-catching is the highest point of the castle, where there is a bell tower with a large golden bell on it. I heard that it has been hanging there for a long time and has not faded despite years of wind and rain.

There are many ordinary people here, and they are the family members who followed Oval here.

Oval greeted his tribesmen and received an enthusiastic response.

Unlike the people outside and the ordinary soldiers, the non-combatants here seemed much friendlier, and at most were only slightly wary of Anti, the outsider.

Oval led Anti all the way through, through the open castle gate and into the interior.

The ancient castle has not been renovated for many years. Although it has been maintained by ordinary people, it still looks dilapidated.

As soon as Anti came in, he saw a portrait at the end of the hall, facing the door, which was so worn out that it was no longer recognizable as a human being.

Noticing Anti's gaze, Oval said, "That should be a portrait from a very early period, but it is severely damaged and it is difficult to tell who this portrait is of... But here, it is probably either the King of Shadows or the King of Real Creation."

But not.

Anti's night eyes gave the answer.

[Portrait of "Sylvia": The Shadow King Eryaluka salvaged his mother's face from the void, and the True King Cynthia painted the picture for her. The mother who gave birth to a pair of miracles for ten years, protected the world and contributed her life to the miracle of mankind. Her name disappeared in the long river of history as time passed. When she was dying, she looked at her children with only love in her last glance.]

That mother…Sylvia.

Not any of the Shadow Kings or the True Kings, they just remember the mother who gave them life.

Anti withdrew his gaze and looked around.

Just as Oval said, this hall was basically used as a warehouse for their supplies.

But Anti was not looking at these. Since entering the castle, a mysterious attraction has lingered in Anti's heart.

This place seems to have some connection with him?

It was strange, he was sure he had never been to this place.

When Xiuman gave Anti information before, it was also full of riddles. There is no conflict between hating riddlers and being a riddler himself.

At that time, Xiuman said intriguingly: "Assalon is the hometown and royal city of the Miracle Twins, but I arrived there very early and stayed there for a long time. After it was expanded into the royal city, I haven't been there again. Most of the time I stayed in the sanctuary and ran around the world. You will definitely gain something there, it is a place you must go." Wow, it makes me sick just thinking about it.

Anti squinted his eyes, came back to his senses, and thanked Oval.

At this point, what Oval had to do to help Anti was almost done.

"Just call me if you need anything in the future." After leaving these words, Anti walked alone into the depths of the castle.

Oval looked at Anti and still felt that this visitor was truly magical.

But it is totally worth it to spend such a short time to get help from a mysterious and powerful person in the future.

She didn't stay for long. As the consul, she had a lot of work to do. She came out to accompany Anti on shopping trips as a way to relax. There was still a lot of work to do.

It's not just the battle lines outside, there are also many livelihood issues in the city, and there are also family matters...

……

Anti walked inside the castle. The further he went in, the fewer people there were. Gradually, all the other sounds were left behind, and the only sound left was the echoing sound of his footsteps as he strolled through the castle.

He looked at every room along the way.

There is basically nothing left.

As they walked, there were fewer windows in the corridor, and Anti gave up trying to figure out the direction. With his sense of space, trying to figure out the direction in such a huge castle maze was simply asking for trouble.

Since Xiuman said he has a connection with this place, he will definitely find something if he wanders around, so just relax.

As the number of windows in the corridor decreased and the surrounding light became dim, Anti knew that he had entered the depths of the castle, the part inside the mountain.

Anti took out the light miracle medium and cast "Illumination".

In sufficient light, he finally came out of a room, turned around and found a door at the end of the corridor.

Anti: ...

I said before that the castle looked warm and harmonious. What are you doing?
Poor sense of space does not mean poor memory. Anti remembered that there was no such door where he had just walked.

I walked into the room, walked around, and came out the door.

Anti stepped back into the room, walked around it, and looked again. The door was still there.

Looking back, the corridor we came from now seemed inexplicably long.

Was the corridor this long when I came here? I can't remember this clearly.

The meaning was very clear, and Anti walked directly towards the door with the lighting.

The moment he stepped through the door.

thump—

The bells are ringing.

Everyone inside and outside the castle, as well as ordinary people, looked up in amazement.

Oval, who had just left the castle, also turned his head suddenly to look at the golden bell on the top of the castle.

At this time, the big bell swung greatly and made a heavy sound.

The sound of the bells spread throughout Assalon and could be heard in the outer city outside the city walls.

Many residents in the city immediately prayed towards the castle.

The castle, which had been silent for many years, was ringing again.

According to their rumors, the last time it was resounded was when the Hand of Heaven and Earth arrived.

On the city wall, the twisted lines trembled violently under the sound of the bell, and finally suddenly gathered into a ball, turning into a small ball of chaotic lines.
