Chapter 288 Closed Altar

Xinjie and his party, who originally planned to travel, met Lilia, the assistant of the long-lost detective Hank, in Tina Village. Due to the request of the village head Bacar and out of Xinjie's personal considerations, the six escorted Lilia to find Hank near Tina Village.

Unexpectedly, after finding Hank, Xinjie learned from him that the priests of Astia had a new action, and their target seemed to be an altar north of Salena that had long been closed because it had been abandoned. After learning the news, the original plan to continue traveling had to be stopped, and several people went to the closed altar.

Just as they planned to pass through the only cave that could reach the altar, they were stopped:

"Hight, it's dangerous here. You can't go there!"

"Master, someone is in the way at the cave. Do you want to clear him?"

Hearing Icarus say this solemnly, Nanali and Rin Tosaka turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly at it. The so-called "disappearance" was really cruel.

Fortunately, Xinjie was calm enough. He shook his head and said, "No, I'll go and have a look." With that, he stepped forward to see who would not let them enter the hole. He estimated that the biggest possibility should be the priest of Astia. Since they are engaged in a special activity as Hank said, things like "free people should not enter" should naturally be handled well.

Unexpectedly, although it was indeed the priest of Astia who blocked their way, he was an old acquaintance of Xinjie.

"Oh! Isn't this the opener?"

"Christophe Priest?"

Xinjie did not expect that Christopher would guard here in person. Xinjie first met him on Sochia Island. From then on, Xinjie began to officially contact the people of the Astia Temple, and then officially became the initiator step by step.

Christophe's priesthood is second only to Brumel in the Temple of Astia, which is completely different from the last time they met Bemius in the labyrinth of the cursed. That's why when he saw Christopher personally guarding this place, Xinjie knew that their action should be very important, at least more important than the last time in the Maze of the Cursed.

After seeing this situation, Xinjie strengthened his belief in going to the altar, no matter what method he used.

"Shouldn't Icarus knock Christopher out from behind? In that case, he would not know that he did it. If he asked later, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and stunned him and escaped from the cave. We entered the cave to chase that person?

This is a good idea. Xinjie thought for a moment and felt that there was no problem. While listening to Christopher, he was ready to order Icarus to beat the stick.

"Opener? Why are you here?" Christopher asked, "Shouldn't you still be in France now?"

It seems that the priests of Astia have a characteristic that they have regarded the opener as the code name of the new hero.

"We are here to travel." Xinjie answered truthfully.

"Great! This must be God's guidance!"

"Christophe Priest?" Xinjie doesn't understand what he means.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so excited. It's great that you can come here. I was going to inform you to come here. Since you're here, go in quickly. Lord Brumel is waiting for you inside!"

"Brumel? Is he coming too?"

"Yes, these are your friends, so let's go in together~! Lord Brumel will tell you the specifics. Don't worry, if I stay here, no one else will come in!"

"I'm not worried at all..."

Xinjie said something and said to everyone behind him, "Come in together."

Since Christopher directly let them in, the previous stuffy plan had to be abandoned. But I don't know why, Xinjie actually felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Like most of the caves in the Kingdom of France, the western cave of Salena is also a natural cave that is artificially transformed, which is quite easy to walk. It can be seen that the people who built it have put a lot of thought into it.

It didn't take long for Xinjie and his party to find Brumer. When they saw him, he was directing others to move things, as if they were very busy.

Desp> Despite this, he found Xinjie at the first time.

Opener! Why did you come here so soon? The people sent by Christopher should have just left, right?

Brumel, who was originally in control of everything, also showed a surprised expression after seeing the sudden appearance of Xinjie.

"We traveled nearby and happened to meet Priest Christopher. He told me that you were waiting for me here." Xinjie explained one sentence.

"So that's it! Is this really God's instruction? God, you haven't abandoned us yet!" Seeing Brumel's devout prayer, Xinjie did not disturb him, but watched quietly.

After he finished praying, he turned to Xinjie and said seriously, "Anyway, you came just in time, opener... It seems that the day of the decisive battle is coming!"

Xinjie has long wanted to complain about Brumel's way of speaking like a magic stick, but in another sense, he is originally a magic stick, right?

"Through this cave, you can see a closed altar in the snow, which is the source of the power of the demons, so destroy that altar! In this way, the road to the gate of time and space can be opened.

Is that the closed altar Hank said?

Although the motives of the Astia Temple have begun to be doubted, it is naturally incumbent on Xinjie to do this kind of thing.

"I see. Just go straight along the cave, right?"

"Yes, there will be a priest of the temple to meet you. When you destroy the altar, he will tell you what to do next. Remember, we have run out of time. Libelius is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't find the door of the cross to ask the gods for help as soon as possible, it will be really finished."

It could be seen that Brumel's expression was very serious when talking about this matter. Xinjie nodded and said, "I know. My friends and I will try our best."

"Please, opener, you are the only one who can save the world now!"

After saying goodbye to Brumel, the six people went straight through the cave to the other side of Salina Island.

As soon as they left the cave, they saw the long-lost snow.

"Jay, it seems that the climate here is the same as the village of Abanis." Saber looked a little excited after seeing the heavy snow flying all over the sky and took Xinjie's hand and said to him.

"Indeed," Xinjie looked at the map Hank gave him. "Geographically speaking, it is located north of the Salina Mountains, and it is normal to have this climate... Then, next, we should go to that altar."
