Chapter 139: Palace (below)

　　 Ola still grasped the ring as if he was still looking at the words on the inner wall of the ring, and Shava immediately moved to the side of Sisterm to guard.
　　 "Where is this?"
　　Sistem sent a spiritual message to Ola, and at the same time twisted his head to look around. He found that there seemed to be no windows in this hall this time, only these candle-like magic lights were shining.
　　 After waiting for a long time, Ola seemed to be trying to understand something, and sent a spiritual message: "Shadow...the key."
　　 "The Key of Shadow? Why is there such a strange name here?"
　　Ola didn't seem to hear the question from Sisterm, instead he muttered to Sisterm and sent a spiritual message: "The key of shadow, the words on this ring mean this."
　　 "……"
　　Sisterm snatched the ring from Aola's feet and at the same time sent a very angry spiritual message to Aola.
　　 "I mean where this is, not the words on the ring."
　　 and Ola, who was robbed of the ring, finally found out that their location had changed.
　　 was no longer in the empty room of Sisterm's Lair at this time, but appeared in a strange palace.
　　 Ola turned to look around and said with a dazed expression: "Sisterm, where is this? It seems to be a half plane."
　　 "Demiplane? What is that?"
　　Sistem asked Ola, and Ola showed a pensive expression again and continued to remember.
　　 Looking at Ola with a dazed look, Systrom wanted to stretch out his tentacles to torture the lazy butterfly.
　　 But after thinking about it, Systrom finally sighed helplessly.
　　 Ignoring the butterfly still thinking on the side, Sisterm looked at the cloister next to the palace hall and walked over.
　　……
　　 Although appearing here inexplicably, Systrom's [intuition] didn't feel dangerous.
　　 There seems to be no other presence in this palace except him, Shava, and Ola, and Systrom's tentacles did not hear any movement other than the three of them.
　　 There will be some fragments of bones in the corridor. Most of these bones are the bones of humans or elves, rather than the jackals or scavengers as Sisterm guessed.
　　 There is no flesh and blood on the piled bones, and there is no moldy smell in the palace. It seems that these bones have been processed, and the pile is only used for decoration, setting off the gloomy atmosphere here.
　　Sistem quickly moved to a pile of bones, used his tentacles to break a small piece of bone fragments, and put them in his mouth to chew.
　　The bones may have been completely dried after being left for too long. They are crispy and have a good taste, but the taste is very ordinary, with only a slight chocolate flavor.
　　 It is estimated that these bones have been placed for at least decades, or hundreds of years.
　　 And these bones made Systrom a little relieved.
　　 These bones are completely edible as food, and Aura can make ice cubes, and their water source is guaranteed. At least for a short time, they will not starve to death due to lack of food.
The corridor on which Sisterm walks is about tens of meters long. The corridor is about four meters high and about six meters wide. Every few meters on both sides of the corridor, a picture frame made of bone appears with black shadows. In some portraits, there will be a strange red eye.
　　 If Sisterm is not bad, this is undoubtedly a palace dedicated to Rafael, the of shadows and curses, or a temple.
　　 But this temple should not have been built by a rat man.
　　 It's not that Sisterm questioned the ability of the Ratman, but that the many magic candles in this palace and the portrait of Rafael were arranged higher.
　　 With the height of about one meter, the rat people would not place these portraits to a height of about 1.7 meters. This height is more like the height of creatures like human beings.
　　……
　　 After walking out of this corridor, Sisterm appeared in a round hall more than ten meters high. In the center of the palace, there was a seven-meter-high statue of Rafael.
　　 This idol was carved to life, and Rafael's red eyes just looked at it, and he seemed to be stuck in it.
　　 Rafael’s idol seems to have a pool of nearly twenty meters in diameter, but what exists in the pool is not water, but various skeletons.
　　 Sistrom also saw a dragon skull nearly two meters in the pond.
　　 A lot smaller than the original dragon head of Ola, Sisterm swallowed the inadvertent mucus from the glands in his throat and chose to leave.
　　Sistem was somewhat afraid of Rafael’s idol. After looking at the idol from a distance, he found that there was nothing unusual, and he moved to the corridor on the other side of the hall...
　　 The entire palace looks very empty, except for the blue-gray stone walls and black floor tiles, there are only three common things, bones, portraits and magic candles.
　　 The structure of the palace is also very simple, a large hall more than ten meters high, on both sides are connected to the corridors dozens of meters away, and the end of one of the corridors is connected to several rooms.
The structures of several rooms are similar. There are some test benches on which there are bottles and jars like the rat-man wizard, which seem to be bottles containing plague germs, but after unscrewing a few, Systrom found these bottles The plague germs have lost their activity and all died.
　　 There is also an underground tunnel in one of the rooms, which connects to a cell.
　　 There are still some torture instruments in the cell, some iron chains, and some knives and tools that Sisterm doesn't recognize. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
　　 Sisterm also found a dead body in the cell. The flesh and blood on the surface of the body had been dried. Looking at the pointed ears on the corpse's head, Sisterm speculated that it was an elf.
　　 But apart from this elf, Systrom had no more discoveries.
　　 This temple does not have any windows, and there is no exit from this temple.
　　……
　　 After searching back and forth in this temple for several hours, Sisterm finally stopped helplessly and looked at Aura Butterfly who was playing with the black gem ring again.
　　 It was this black jewel ring that brought them here, so using this ring is very likely to let the three of Sisterm leave.
　　 However, Ola vowed to fiddle with this ring for a long time, and nothing happened. The gray light that brought the three of them here has never appeared again.
　　 And just now, Ola gradually expressed a flustered mood.
　　 Although Aura still pretended to be calm on the surface, she told Systrom not to worry.
　　 But Sisterm knew that it was already difficult to rely on Aola to leave here with that ring.
　　 Now there is only one way to leave this palace, and that is to sculpt Rafael's idol by hand to communicate with this evil god.
　　 It is somewhat dangerous to communicate with the evil god, but through a method similar to sacrifice, there is still a great opportunity to leave here.
　　 But looking at Ola playing with the black gem ring, Systrom suddenly had an idea.
　　 Why should he communicate with Cthulhu?
　　Aura can also communicate with the evil and become a believer of the evil god.
　　 If you make a mistake, you have to bear it yourself. Isn’t that fair?
