Chapter 111: Sanctuary Castle, clues to Long Er's resurrection
"Uh, Long, Long'er, in broad daylight..."
"During the day? What's the matter? There's no outsider here, what does it matter?"
"No... Long, Long'er, wait a minute. Hey! My clothes!"
Lingyi retreated in panic, but his body was locked by Long'er's legs, so he could only struggle on the spot. Long'er looked at Lingyi's chest with lustful eyes, as if opening the door to a new world, and excitedly stretched out his hands and gently stroked Lingyi's chest and abdomen.
Long Er was enjoying the experience, but Ling Yi's panicked struggle affected the desk, and the book "Clan of the Holy Maidens" on the desk fell quietly, with some papers scattered out.
After seeing this, Lingyi quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, Long'er, Long'er, there's something on the ground."
"Nothing is more important than now. Hehehe, Xiaoyi's body, to be honest, I have never really taken the time to appreciate it. Hurry up!" Long'er grinned, wishing he could strip Lingyi of his clothes right now.
"No, there really is something, really." Lingyi resisted humbly, but it seemed to affect Long'er's mood.
She pouted and looked at Lingyi with some dissatisfaction, saying, "What is there to care about so much?"
"There's a piece of paper on the ground. Maybe my mother left me some words." Lingyi said, pointing to the ground.
Long Er looked in the direction of Lingyi and saw that there were indeed two pieces of paper scattered on the ground beside him next to the book. He let go of Lingyi in annoyance and gently pushed him away. Lingyi stepped back obediently like a child who had done something wrong, scratching his head in confusion.
"We agreed that if it's not something important, I will drain you dry tonight!" Long Er snorted coldly in annoyance, but Ling Yi shivered, his back felt slightly cold, and his waist ached slightly.
Long Er bent down and took out the two pieces of paper on the ground. After opening one, he found the piece of paper that he had seen before in the first volume of the book. Long Er was not curious and then opened the second one. However, after opening it, the anger in Long Er's eyes disappeared instantly, and then his eyes were filled with loss, shock, and panic...
When Lingyi saw this, he didn't know what was written on the note, but was afraid that Long'er would be angry, so he carefully walked around from the side, came to Long'er's side, and peeked in.
There were only two lines of words written on the note, but the first line made Lingyi slightly stunned:
"Child, your lover has not yet been resurrected."
The short sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly waking Lingyi from his sweet dream. For the first time since the incident in the Nameless Village, Long Er's body had all five senses restored. The extremely excited emotion washed away all doubts and thoughts. He just wanted to immerse himself in this beauty, as if in this beautiful dream.
However, this sentence undoubtedly pulled Lingyi and Long Er back to reality.
"I, haven't been resurrected yet..." Long Er muttered to himself blankly, but still smiled optimistically and cheerfully, "What? I said it wouldn't be that simple and easy. Turns out it hasn't been resurrected yet, hahahaha. It looks like there's still a long way to go."
Long Er's cheerful laughter did not infect Ling Yi, who was also feeling lost. Ling Yi stared blankly at the note in Long Er's hand, muttering to himself, "Yeah, how could he be resurrected without any warning... This is simply impossible."
Long'er saw Lingyi standing there extremely calmly, but his eyes were empty and lifeless. Drops of transparent dew slowly condensed on his eyelids and fell quietly: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you, Xiaoyi, huh? It's okay, it's okay. I think it's good like this now. It's okay." Long'er hurriedly put down the note in his hand, stroked Lingyi's cheek with one hand, and hugged Lingyi's waist with the other hand.
Long Er tried to use the residual heat from his body to warm Ling Yi's cold heart, but Ling Yi was unmoved and still stood there stupidly, unable to even stand steadily and leaned on the desk.
"Yeah...he hasn't been resurrected yet. Long Er hasn't been resurrected yet." Lingyi kept muttering this reality.
But the dragon man panicked: "Xiaoyi, it's okay, Xiaoyi, am I not here?"
"But you didn't come back to life. What should I do?" Lingyi cried softly as he collapsed. "I kept saying that I would find out the truth about the Nameless Village, follow my mother's footsteps, and bring you back to life. But what's the result? Did they find out the truth about the Nameless Village? What was my mother's obsession? What about your resurrection?"
"Am I fine? I think this is good." Long Er hurriedly comforted Ling Yi.
But Lingyi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think this is good. I don't want you to be trapped in my body forever. This will make me feel that it is my right to have you. I will trample on you."
Lingyi's worries always shock Long'er. She has thought about Lingyi's greed, Lingyi's desires, and Lingyi's obsession, but she has never thought about Lingyi's fear.
Long Er smiled slightly, stroked Ling Yi's cheek and said, "Silly boy, why would you think so?"
"Because you live in my body, it may seem like a romantic situation, but it is unfree and unfair to you. You are also an independent individual, and I don't want to imprison you." Lingyi's voice was filled with self-blame and demands, and he held Long'er's hands and confided in him.
Long Er's mouth corners slightly raised, quietly broke free from Ling Yi's palm, stretched out his hand to touch Ling Yi's cheek, and then pinched Ling Yi's cheek viciously: "What are you thinking about, how could my little Yi be like this? Don't you think about it."
"I, I'm not..." Before Lingyi could finish his words, Long Er interrupted him immediately.
"And could you please finish reading this? There's more to it!" Long Er said, holding the note and placing it in front of Ling Yi.
Lingyi was slightly stunned, then looked at the note.
The first line of the note did read "My beloved has not been resurrected", but the second line was still my mother's guidance.
"If you want to revive your lover, go to the castle in the sanctuary."
Lingyi stared at the note blankly, and looked at Long Er in disbelief and said, "This... this is still mine, my mother's?"
"What else? You can't even write the same handwriting as our mother's. It's the same as the handwriting in the book she wrote." Long'er shouted unhappily, and like an elf, he quietly slipped away from Lingyi's arms and came to the wooden door.
"Castle, sanctuary, could it be that?" Lingyi said, pointing to the castle ruins not far away with some disbelief.
"Maybe. It wouldn't hurt to go and have a look."
"So, Xiaojiu and Sheila?"
"Let them sleep, they are the ones who kept pestering Xiao Yi, hehehe."
"That makes sense."
"Right, let's go, let's go and take a look."
……
After leaving the wooden house, Long'er informed the giant silver-white horse and left Xuela and Xiaojiu to be taken care of by the giant silver-white horse. He took Lingyi's hand and walked slowly along the path in the fields towards the castle.
"Xiaoyi, are you unhappy?" Long'er held Lingyi's arm, rested his head on Lingyi's shoulder, and asked curiously.
"No, no, it's just..." Lingyi said, but he kept staring at the ground and thinking, "I was thinking, in this period of time, it seems that only your resurrection has not made any progress, I feel a little..."
"Don't we have it? Our mother said that we will find clues in the castle." Long Er comforted.
"But I always feel a little panicked, as if I have forgotten something." As Lingyi and Long'er were talking, they had already arrived in front of the castle and stopped.
A turbulent river blocked the way, but fortunately there was a wooden suspension bridge connecting the castle. On the other side of the river was indeed an old and simple medieval castle. There were some signs of cracks on the walls of the castle. What was strange was that there were no special emblems or symbols on the castle, nor were there any conspicuous flags. The overall look was probably more like a particularly large house.
Lingyi looked at the dark and narrow corridor, took a deep breath, and said to dispel his doubts: "Let's go in and take a look."
"Yeah." Long Er responded softly and walked into the castle with Lingyi.
The castle was pitch black. Lingyi took out a light bulb from his bracelet and lightly touched the end of the bulb with his finger. The light bulb emitted light. The magic tool "lamp" created with inspiration from modern technology emitted such a huge brightness that it illuminated everything around.
However, what is even more surprising is that from the outside, this looks like a castle, but when you go inside, you find that it is extremely empty, and the air is filled with the smell of blood. It may be more like an arena. The light of the "lamp" illuminates all the surroundings. Although it cannot be compared with sunlight, it can at least prevent yourself from moving forward in the dark.
There is a statue in the central area of the castle. It is a statue of a girl kneeling and praying, just like Zero One. The statue is not tall and seems to be only two meters high.
"Is this a castle?" Lingyi muttered to himself while looking around blankly.
"This... why does it look more like a place for fighting? There seems to be blood on the ground." Long Er pointed at the black stains on the ground and gave a hint.
Lingyi also noticed that the ground here was almost covered with black mud stains, which splashed on the floor like water. Combined with the strong smell of blood in the air, it was hard not to think of blood.
"What is this place?" Lingyi looked around curiously. Although the furnishings here were old, there was no conspicuous sign. "Let's go and take a look at that statue. It looks a bit like the mark of the saint. It may be related to the mark on my forehead."
"Okay." Maybe it was because Lingyi was beside him, Long Er instead held Lingyi's arm tightly and weakly, as if he was very scared and panicked.
However, Lingyi did not experience any abnormal situation. This was due to the fact that he had frequently hunted magical beasts under the training of Xuenv and Yan Wuchang in the past five years. As a result, Lingyi no longer had to look for so many other auxiliary materials for making magic tools, as they were all stored in his bracelet.
As he approached the statue, he discovered that there was a Saint's mark on the forehead of the statue in front of him, in the same position as Lingyi's. Lingyi was surprised: "How come this position is exactly the same as mine?"
"Same position?" Long Er looked up curiously at the statue and said, "It seems to be exactly the same as Xiao Yi's position. My, Xiao Jiu's, and Xue La's positions seem to be different. Does this have any special meaning?"
Lingyi shook his head, but stared at the statue in a daze: "Why do I feel like this statue is calling me..." Lingyi said, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently approached the forehead of the statue.
However, at the moment when Lingyi's fingers touched the statue, the stone statue suddenly opened its eyes.
Lingyi was so scared that he quickly held Long Er in his arms, took two small steps back, and looked at the statue vigilantly.
At this moment, the statue actually looked like a real person. It slowly raised its head, and its eyes shone brightly. If it weren't for the light bulb in Lingyi's hand, the eyes would have been like a beam of light in this dark arena.
The light swept over Ling Yi and Long Er, and then a voice that Ling Yi was familiar with sounded: "Confirmed that the target's magic source is similar to Master Ling Yue, the position of the Saint's mark matches normally, and loading begins..."
After hearing this voice, Lingyi's vigilance gradually dropped, but he still stared at the stone sculpture: "This sound is a bit like the sound that rang in my ears when we were first teleported here."
"It's a bit similar... Then could that voice also be set by our mother? Just to get us to this place?" Long Er looked up and asked puzzledly.
"I'm not sure. At least for now, the message my mother left behind is consistent with our situation..." Lingyi felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this. "That's not right. Why do I feel as if my mother knew everything about me in advance? It's as if my mother is watching us from somewhere."
