"Hey!"

Alulu nodded, raised her hand, and summoned divine power.

The golden light covered the statue, producing an effect far beyond Dorothy's. In the light, the statue of the goddess moved. She turned the scripture in her hand, and on the new page, the middle part collapsed, and a mechanical handle rose.

"It's done!"

Zoe jumped over and grabbed the mechanism, but before pulling it, she turned back to ask Leon's opinion.

Seeing him nod, the kitten smiled and pulled hard.

The mechanism made a sound and the church floor shook slightly. In front of everyone, the floor in front of the goddess statue moved away, revealing steps leading down.

"It seems that pure divine power is needed to open it." said Elafia.

Li Ang lit the adventure lantern, led the way, and led everyone into the underground passage.

"Why not me?" said Dorothy unhappily.

"The Holy Knight possesses a purer divine power." The relatively silent Andasu suddenly spoke up.

The animal-eared girl said as if she was touched by something: "That is really dazzling, and different from yours."

"hateful."

Looking at the half-elf gritting his teeth, Leon felt that Andasu was not a yin or yang to her.

He had only seen a few holy warriors at the level of excellence. They were incredibly powerful and could inflict heavy casualties without much need for powerful equipment.

Considering Andasu's reaction, the overly pure divine power might contain light elements.

The reason why it is said to contain is because the attacks launched by the Holy Knight are far from the power of those who truly master the element of light.

Andasu's reaction seemed like she was feeling physically uncomfortable. Since Leon knew that she could launch dark element attacks that he had never seen anyone use before, he guessed that she was feeling uncomfortable because she felt Alulu's light element.

Speaking of which, in the Flowing Silver Arena, the beast-eared girl was fighting against Zoe. Ever since she started training as an evil assassin, Alulu has never used her holy power in front of her.

Li Ang looked at Xiao Niu. As her plump breasts blocked her view, it was more difficult for her to go down the stairs than for most people. She took every step slowly and staggered, causing the pair of pink pigtails behind her head to swing back and forth.

"Alulu, what is your oath?"

"Oath?" Xiao Niu blinked his pure purple round eyes.

"You have to take an oath to become a paladin."

"right."

Alulu agreed with this statement, but she couldn't say exactly what the oath she had made was.

It is an unintentional oath, not maintained intentionally, but nothing has been done that may lead to breaking the oath.

What should I say? A pure heart?

Li Ang had never heard of such a situation before, and could only assume that her mind was completely flawless.

After walking down the stairs, everyone came to a stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, four coffins are clearly visible.

"See, I said it was a tomb."

Dorothy said a little angrily.

"Is the teacher in there?" Alulu looked at the coffins.

"Everyone is covered in dust. This place has been closed for so long that it doesn't look like anyone has been here before," said Alafia.

The blonde's gaze was mostly fixed on the walls of the room. Unlike the Lynden family tomb she and Dorothy had visited before, where there were inscriptions recording the life stories of the family members, the walls were covered with huge stained glass paintings, which were far more exquisite than any church on earth.

At first glance, these paintings are connected to each other and can be said to be comic strips.

"This place... is definitely not simple." The blonde's tone was a little uneasy.

Leon was still surprised to see that although the usually calm Ellaphia liked to say "trash", she showed emotional fluctuations.

Douding was staring at the pattern at the bottom of a stained glass painting. Li Ang took a quick look and didn't make out anything.

He opened the system map to see what the system called this place.

"Saint's Chamber" is clearly marked on the miniature map panel.

156. The Name of Wattam

"Don't go forward yet."

Li Ang warned: "Beware of traps."

Alafia raised her hand, and her magic power created a number of flying blades. They were different from the flying blades that carried everyone flying before. They were similar to the Silver Heart Sword. The sword body was hollow, and there was a small energy ball emitting golden light inside.

Flying blades flew forward one after another, forming a neat array and hovering close to the wall.

She released the flying sword for lighting effect, and the entire stone chamber was suddenly brightly lit.

The girl raised her hand and continued to manipulate the magic power. The flying swords moved in the air, gently touching every brick on the wall, ceiling and floor, moving lightly up and down, left and right, as if dancing in the air, and the blonde girl waving her hand was the conductor.

The spectacular flying sword maneuver ended, and Douding said calmly, "We've eliminated the conventional traps."

The four girls in Leon's group were originally in shock because they entered the Tomb of the Saints. Although Leon didn't know what was so shocking about Zoe, they were all stunned by Alafia's actions at this moment.

One of Alafia's secrets, "Symphony of Thousand Blades", is like playing music when it is performed. Leon even suspects that the name of this secret seen on the panel was not given by her herself, but was given by others based on the situation in which she displayed her power.

This move of hers directly solved the difficulties of exploration and liberated the girls' freedom of movement.

However, unlike Alafia who was obsessed with a wall glass mural, they all surrounded Leon, with him as the core of their actions.

"Who is sleeping here?" asked Andasu.

Dorothy was speechless because she grew up in a religious environment of Watamu, and Alulu had never imagined that there was such a place under the church where they lived. Only Andasu didn't feel anything about it.

"Saint." Leon uttered a word.

His words also made the half-elf and the calf turn their heads to look at him.

They actually recognized some of them, but they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

"Saint, if this is really the tomb of a saint..."

Dorothy looked at the four coffins again and swallowed.

She was not religious, so Leon thought she was thinking about something disrespectful.

But it's not her fault at all. Whether it's her style as a gamer in her previous life or the habit of most adventurers, the first thing she thinks about is whether there are any precious burial objects.

That is the coffin of a legendary... no, mythical figure. For a person who has no taboos, the first thing that comes to mind is to open the coffin and take a look.

But Li Ang restrained himself with reason.

First of all, this is Alulu in front of me.

Secondly, he had heard of cases of people being punished for violating the tombs of high-ranking beings, and of people stealing tributes to the gods and being hunted down by a high-level divine being who suddenly descended to take on human flesh.

Generally speaking, it is best not to touch sacred tombs or offerings to gods.

"What is a saint?" Zoe asked.

Andasu also had the same doubts.

Elafia was absorbed in the murals on the wall. Leon said to them, "Do you know what 'Watham' means in the Watham religion?"

Naturally, they both shook their heads, and Li Ang began to explain.

Nubis has gone through a long time, and many languages have appeared among various ethnic groups and civilizations.

The current "Newbis Common Language" was actually voted on from the native languages of the guild founders - this is a rumor.

In fact, although there was some discussion, the pronunciation of the most widely used dialect in Newbiss at that time was finally decided upon.

Why pronunciation, because the language itself is already used by the vast majority of Newbis people.

The various variants and dialects of the main language have different names in different places, or even no names at all, and are regarded by local islanders as an innate and natural way of communication.

It's not surprising that many of the islands of Newbys are connected, and the same is true of their languages.

But before the guild gradually connected the world, although some people noticed the problem of language identity, no one thought that the common language could cover such a wide range. In almost every airspace, more than 70% of people can communicate across islands, but there are differences in dialect pronunciation.

This matter, like the similarities in the natural environment and culture of the islands on both sides of the wind wall, is also often discussed by scholars.

The common language of Newbis still contains the ancient language before the change. Among the words in this ancient language, the most well-known are the names of the four major airspaces.

The Watamu religion in front of us is also among them.

Watamu, in ancient language, means "the sacred one".

What are the Holy Ones? They are the followers chosen by the Goddess when she walks on earth. They are her true disciples, so they are also called "saints."

Believers revere saints, and even those who possess extraordinary powers in the religion hope to become legends and true "saints."

But in the ancient times when the time can no longer be counted, the four saints were all saviors who were baptized by the goddess's sacred power and received true blessings. They spread the goddess's glory and will and assisted her in saving the world.

Therefore, Watamu actually refers to the four baptized goddess agents. When this sect was founded, they were not called goddesses, because the purpose of faith and practice is to make oneself a "Watamu".

"I see."

Zoe didn't seem surprised after hearing this.

Leon looked at her and smiled. This little girl had witnessed many legends herself, whether it was the Star Soul or the Bahamut that was summoned not long ago, the title was much more exaggerated than that of a saint.

"The story of God has its moment of truth." Andasu said, "I wonder when we can see the traces of the Beast God left in this world?"

The girl with animal ears was thinking about the Yunxiang tribe.

"Saints, the stories people have been talking about all the time, the stories I've been reading since I was a kid have become reality..."

Dorothy sighed, crossing her arms.

Indeed, although the Star Soul and the giant dragon with the name of the Creator God are bizarre, due to their extremely high level of power, they sometimes do not feel real, and they also have many mysteries.

The shock brought by the tombs of legendary figures who are widely believed and still alive in modern religions is another kind of feeling.

"Is this really the saint's tomb? Could it be a fake?" Dorothy asked again.

"It can't be fake."

Alulu said, "The teacher must know this place. He is a devout believer. How could he forge a saint's tomb?"

The pink-haired girl definitely doesn't believe such a thing.

Leon thought it was perfectly normal for a half-elf to have such speculation. To put it in a more down-to-earth way, it was similar to those text messages from Qin Shi Huang on Earth; only those who believed he was truly alive had a problem.

In the minds of most people today, saints are pure legends.

"Yes, that explains why the bishop and the Knights of the Guardian Church are here."

Dorothy said, "It's no exaggeration to say that this is the resting place of the saints and the most sacred place in the entire church."

"But no one has ever entered this stone chamber."

Leon looked back at the way he came. Now the entire stone chamber was lit up by Ella Fiya. Jun Yang could clearly see that the road he came in was covered with dust, but there were only footprints of their group.

The sarcophagi were also covered with dust, and the covers were made to look like sleeping people, but the faces could not be seen clearly because of the thick dust.

The half-elf shrugged and spread his hands, not wanting to talk anymore.

"Let's take a look at these paintings first."

Li Ang walked to the first painting, and the girls followed him.

The goddess of mercy is obviously in the upper center of the picture. She is smiling at four kneeling people. Only their backs are visible, and their race can be seen.

The four people from left to right are two humans, the Dodo tribe, and the Oxhorn tribe.

"Is this the scene of the goddess baptizing the four saints?" said Alulu.

"There are words underneath," Zoe said, pointing to the bottom of the painting.

Dorothy read it aloud.

"On the Day of the Transformation of the Wattams into Saints, Saint Aranfano, Saint Lawrence, Saint Kinufit, and Saint Zephyrinus received the grace of the Goddess.

"Clement dedicated the Saints' Chamber on the day it was completed."

After reading it, Dorothy took a breath and said:

"This place is truly unique. The legends I've heard recorded in the Watamu scriptures never mentioned the saints' real names; they were always addressed by nicknames."

"What are their nicknames?" Andasu was curious.

The half-elf recalled, "Something like a Saint of Divine Power or a Saint of Divine Wisdom."
