Chapter 1442: The Butterfly Family's Tomb

In the cave beneath the 【Black Night Temple】, the hidden wall and the passage leading to the sealed butterfly tomb were both in the most hidden space at the back of the cave, so Xia De did not have to worry about being discovered by the Ring Warlocks arranged by the church here before he even entered the cemetery.

And when he walked out from behind the hidden wall with the four gems, he found that someone was already waiting for him in that dark corridor.

"Xia De!"

The light ball floating beside the seventeen-year-old girl illuminated her beautiful face. Iluna seemed to have been waiting here for a while. She was very satisfied to see the surprised expression on Xia De's face:

"I'm fast enough, right? After receiving the message, I knew you must have new arrangements. After the earthquake, I applied to perform a mission outside the city, and then found an excuse to come here alone. Anyway, in the situation tonight, it's reasonable for anyone to suddenly disappear for a while."

"Really fast enough, but many strange things have appeared outside the city tonight. I think we still need to confirm each other's identity."

Xia De suggested. "Very reasonable."

Iluna said in a good mood:

"How about asking a question that only we know?"

"Hmm... At the end of the year festival, what special material was mixed in the gloves you knitted for me?" "I sent a scarf, not gloves, and it contained... my hair."

Iluna was a little embarrassed, and then asked Xia De: "What is the most beautiful part of our fortune-teller friend?" "Of course, those purple eyes."

Xia De said without thinking, and then saw Iluna giggling. His originally nervous and slightly annoyed mood was also slightly relieved under such a small joke, so he waved to Iluna:

"Then, let's go."

The green gem represents spring, the red gem represents summer, the golden gem represents autumn, and the white gem represents winter.

The Four Seasons Gems were embedded one by one by Xia De at the end of the passage that blocked the two from moving forward. After the last gem also entered its position, the four-color gems radiated soft light together. In those lights, the stone wall fluctuated like an illusion, and then dissipated bit by bit.

Displayed before Xia De and Iluna were the narrow tomb passage steps leading to the deeper underground. Since this cemetery was sealed after Mr. Lehman's death, it was the first time it had been opened again.

If it were ordinary people, they would have to consider the oxygen problem underground, but Xia De and Iluna didn't need to worry about that. "Let's go."

Xia De said to Iluna.

Although this was a veritable Fifth Era ruin, Lehman's cemetery was not an exaggerated underground building complex. After formally entering the tomb passage through the gate, they walked thirty steps forward and arrived at the double-door stone gate at the end.

Both stone doors were in the script of the Fifth Era, decorated with butterfly and flower patterns. The epitaph of Mr. Lehman was engraved here, and Xia De had seen these contents in "The Butterfly Family: My Life," but Iluna discovered something strange:

"This is not only Mr. Lehman's cemetery, but also the burial place of three butterfly girls?" "That's right."

Xia De nodded, knowing what Iluna wanted to ask:

"Those butterfly girls were the familiars of the ancient god 【Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly】. Logically speaking, their lifespan should far exceed that of the ordinary man Lehman in the Fifth Era. And according to the description of the epitaph and the content I saw in that memoir, this cemetery was sealed after Lehman's death, and they were buried here at the same time."

"Could it be that because of love, they voluntarily entered the cemetery to accompany Mr. Lehman's corpse?" Iluna asked in disbelief, and Xia De shook his head:

"I don't know either, but there will probably be answers next."

The gate engraved with the epitaph should be considered the real gate of the cemetery. But this gate didn't have a unique lock. Xia De used a little force and pushed it open.

Behind the gate were still steps leading down, and the walls on both sides were no longer monotonous stone bricks. Here, some relatively abstract patterns of various butterflies were painted. Xia De and Iluna didn't walk down immediately. Xia De frowned and looked at the darkness deeper inside:

"There is an illusion. If we enter like this, we will probably fall into a passage that will never find an end." "It's normal for a cemetery to have defensive measures."

Iluna evaluated, and took out a silver metal piece from her pocket: "The church has a special way to break illusions. Let me try it first."

She activated the charm with her own spirit and threw it toward the steps ahead. The metal piece fell on the downward steps with a clatter, and then emitted bright light.

This light shone directly on the murals on both sides of the wall. The originally abstract butterfly patterns with severely peeled colors actually moved under the light of the charm.

But Iluna didn't relax, instead she became serious: "It seems that standard equipment still won't work."

While speaking, those strange-looking butterflies "flew" out of the mural. They didn't attack the two standing at the tomb gate, but flapped their wings and completely blocked the dark passage.

Iluna still wanted to try, but Xia De stopped her: "Let me try."

He took out the silver flute stuck in his waist. This was the God-made object 【Butterfly Calling Flute】, which was obtained from the Saint Peri Cemetery, a gift from the Fifth Era.

Xia De actually didn't know how to play the flute, but at least blowing the flute was no problem. The effect of playing this long flute was to summon butterflies according to the consumption of different spirits, and finally even summon Helen and Grace.

But when facing the butterfly illusion guarding the cemetery, when the flute sound rang out, the abstract butterflies returned to the wall. At the same time, in the deep passage leading to the deeper underground, strange distortions appeared in the air. Xia De and Iluna heard a sound similar to a paper bag being poked, and then the illusion was lifted.

"Since Sister Saint Peri said that Mr. Lehman left a gift for me in his cemetery, I think Mr. Lehman wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for me."

Xia De said.

Continuing downward, after walking 33 steps, the narrow passage suddenly opened up. But this was not a tomb, but a church. In the church, the holy emblems of the ancient god 【Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly】 and the True God 【Lantern Elder】 were placed on the left and right respectively.

Even in the Sixth Era now, there are similar structures in the underground tombs of the local people in Randall Valley, so Xia De and Iluna just took a few glances and continued to walk toward the deeper underground.

During this period, there was another earthquake, and compared to the ground, the shaking feeling could be felt more clearly underground. Fortunately, this underground cemetery was extremely sturdy. Even though the earthquake was strong, not even dust fell from the ceiling of the cemetery passage.

And after passing through the church in the cemetery, what followed was the main tomb of the cemetery.

The main tomb also used double-door stone gates as a partition, and the portraits of Mr. Lehman himself and the three girls with butterfly wings behind them were carved on the stone gates here.

After pushing open this gate, it was a square tomb. A huge stone coffin was placed in the center of the tomb. Judging from the volume of the stone coffin, what was buried inside was definitely not one person.

Very surprisingly, this tomb was not completely dark. There were brightly colored murals on the walls of the tomb, depicting various butterflies flying in the underground large cavern from a bird's-eye view. Every butterfly on the mural was emitting a faint light. Although the light of a single one was very weak, the faint light added together was enough to provide lighting.

And the butterflies in the center of the mural above the tomb were the most numerous. The soft light shone on the stone coffin from above. It was indeed a good choice to sleep here.

"We came here so simply?"

Iluna seemed worried about traps and didn't dare to walk in directly, but Xia De walked in directly:

"What did you think would be here? Ancient evil spirits or gargoyles guarding it? This is just a cemetery. He has already prepared to welcome me, an old friend."

Xia De came to the huge stone coffin, and a stone tablet stood in front of the stone coffin. The names of Mr. Lehman and the three butterfly girls were written on the stone tablet.

As for that stone coffin,

the style looked relatively simple, and butterfly-style patterns were carved on all five sides.

Xia De didn't go to disturb Mr. Lehman's rest. He bent down to read the stone tablet in front of the stone coffin, and then told Iluna, whose ancient language grades were not very good, the content on it:

"The question is solved. The three familiars of the god passed away together with Mr. Lehman." "What do you mean?"

Iluna asked in confusion, and Xia De wiped the floating dust on the surface of the stone tablet with his sleeve:

"Voluntarily following Mr. Lehman to leave the 【Worm Cave】 is equivalent to giving up their long lives. This is a special contract, which you can understand as a contract of love. From then on, those three familiars of the ancient god bound their souls to Mr. Lehman's soul. When one party passes away, or one party changes their mind, this primitive, ancient, and not very binding contract will cause both parties who signed the contract to die together."

Xia De paused and added:

"Butterfly girls have the power to break free from the contract, but they didn't. The one who made this stone tablet seems to be the son of Mr. Lehman and one of the ladies. He wrote everything down."

"Martyrdom?"

Iluna was slightly shocked, but also showed respect.

"It shouldn't be considered martyrdom, it can only be considered... he died, and they also felt they should leave. After all, entering the normal material world at the beginning was just to accompany him. Mr. Lehman died, so they had no reason to stay. Is this love?"

The seventeen-year-old girl muttered to herself, while Xia De, who was squatting in front of the stone tablet, thought of the matter of Stone Osenfurt and Hela Osenfurt. ===== CHAPTER 1443 =====
