Perhaps because of the well-preserved structure, the interior of the entire palace did not suffer much damage, and it still retains its original appearance.

Wall paintings from the Byzantine era can be seen everywhere.The unique patterns of the Byzantine Empire are engraved on the huge supporting pillars.

However, the most striking thing is the giant statue standing in the palace hall.

It was a bearded male with a divine expression holding a scepter in his left hand and a castle model in his right.

The entire statue, standing on a high platform, occupies almost two-thirds of the palace hall.

The open-air ceiling and the sunlight falling down shone on the statue, as if it had been covered with a sacred coat.

Looking up at the statue, the amazement in Laura's eyes became even brighter:

"This statue must be an immortal prophet!"

While sighing, Laura glanced down, just in time to find a beautiful brick painting on the ground at the foot of the statue:

"Look, Lu Qi, this depicts the journey of his believers moving out of the Syrian desert..."

There is more than one brick painting, walking counterclockwise around the high platform of the statue, while Laura analyzes the content that the brick painting wants to express according to the portraits and words on the brick painting:

"They settled in the hidden valley, and built a great city, which is the city of Kit."

"To protect the city and its people, the Prophet raised an army of valiant warriors."

But when she came to the last portrait, Laura was in doubt.

In the portrait, the army kneels before the Prophet and presents him with a glowing diamond-shaped object.

"What they are holding is not the holy source, but something else, but what is it?"

Whispering, Laura squatted down, looked carefully at the words engraved on the portrait, and translated word by word:

"His warriors forged him a map of Atlas, allowing the Prophet to keep hold of the city and its secrets..."

As soon as the words fell, Laura's eyes lit up, and she suddenly came to her senses.

She stood up abruptly, looked at Lu Qi at the side, and said excitedly:

"It's a map of the city!"

"As long as we find this Atlas map, we can use it to find out where the source of the divine is!"

Chapter 353 Convergence, return

Although she didn't find the holy source right away, Laura was very excited to find an important clue.

As for Lu Qi, he was also very happy.

It's not because the name of this city map is the same as the security consulting company I founded in Los Santos, they are both called "Atlas"

It's because the second ancient relic of the world mission has been found!

Next, as long as they continue to collect the offerings related to Kit City, after they return to London, they can announce the existence of the "Lost City" to the world and complete the world mission!

Of course, before that, he had to deal with the Holy Trinity army headed by Constantine and help Laura uncover the secret of the holy source.

. . .

Slightly suppressing their excitement, the two walked through the palace hall and walked deep into the palace.

However, they soon discovered that all corridors were blocked by falling boulders, making it impossible to proceed.

Going around, the two finally came to a corridor submerged in the lake.

Looking at the clear lake water and the road that is connected with the mountain, Laura frowned, "I think, this is the road that Jacob said, right?

Hearing this, Lu Qi on the side could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Anyway, there is no other way to go, so I can only try."

"I hate getting wet"

Although she said so, Laura obediently began to take off her clothes.

The two first took off their fur coats, socks and shoes, and then put important weapons such as firearms and walkie-talkies into their backpacks.

After taking protective measures, the two stood by the water and began to warm up.

As for the warm-up exercise, of course it is the eighth radio gymnastics that Lu Qi once taught Laura on Yamatai!

one two three four two two three four

After fully warming up, the two "plop" twice and jumped into the icy lake one after another.

As soon as he jumped into the lake, Lu Qi's first feeling was only one word: cold!

However, the warm-up effect was not bad, coupled with super physical fitness, I quickly adapted to the temperature of the lake.

After running in the water for a while, the two took a deep breath and dived down.

Following a narrow mountain river, after diving for about 20 meters, the two saw the exit.

Stepping on an extended staircase, the two left the lake, walked through a porch, and came to the ruins.

Looking at the ruins of the buildings I had seen in the village, I hugged myself with both hands

"Finally out"

While sighing, Laura seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked:

"Lu Qi, tell me, is Jacob still alive?"

"If he is dead, how should we explain to Sophia and the others when we return to the village?"

Although he knew that Jacob was the legendary prophet who had lived for thousands of years, and he also knew that he possessed the power of the divine source in his body, he would not let him be so easy.

However, Lu Qi didn't know how Jacob could survive in that situation.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Lu Qi could only comfort him with words:

"What we can do now is to return to the village as soon as possible and tell Sophia the news that Holy Trinity is about to attack."

"As for the rest, let it be."

. . .

When the two passed through the mountains and returned to the vicinity of the village, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.

Near the valley where the village is located, the howling wind and snow were replaced by warm sunshine.

The two, who were all wet, first found a place nearby and lit a bonfire.

Taking off all the wet clothes on their bodies and putting them aside to dry, the two changed into a new set of underwear, then put on animal skin coats, and sat by the campfire to keep warm.

After drying the clothes, eating something, and replenishing energy, the two were ready to leave camp and set off.

At this moment, in the ruins beside the two of them, there was a subtle sound of rolling stones.

Lu Qi and Laura's reactions were very consistent. They subconsciously took out their weapons and aimed at the source of the sound.

"Who is where?!"

"Don't be impulsive, it's me!"

Following a rather familiar voice, a figure came out slowly.

Looking at that calm face, Laura's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but shout out joyfully:

"Jacob?!"

The person who came was Jacob who was separated from the two of them in the mine tunnel!

Lu Qi guessed right.

The prophet who possessed the power of the divine source did not just die when the mine tunnel collapsed. Instead, he found another way, crossed the mountains, and returned to the valley.

Jacob didn't die, which also made Laura's worries just disappear.

Looking up and down at Jacob, who was fine, Laura breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I thought something bad happened to you"

"Haha, am I fine?"

Lu Qi, who was at the side, couldn't help taking a step forward, and patted Jacob on the shoulder:

"Glad you're okay."

"Let's go, your people can't wait to welcome their leader back"

. . .

The three people who reunited had just walked along the path of the ruins, and after walking a short distance, they encountered a team of prophet survivors guarding near the exit of the ruins.

And the captain of the team is Sophia!

The moment she saw Jacob, Sophia was startled for a moment, and then a joyful expression appeared on that unsmiling face:

"Father!!!"

This shout also made Lu Qi and Laura understand why Sophia has a high status among the survivors.

It turns out that she is the chief's daughter

As soon as the words fell, Sophia rushed to Jacob and hugged him tightly.

"Sophia, I'm back"

After hugging deeply, leaving Sophia in her father's arms, she looked at Lu Qi and the two beside her.

At this moment, in her eyes, there is no longer suspicion and disbelief, replaced by deep gratitude:

"Lu Qi, Laura, you really did it! Thank you!"

Hearing this, before Lu Qi could speak, Laura waved her hand and said with a smile:

"You're welcome, we're allies, and we should help each other."

After thanking Lu Qi and Laura, Sophia turned around, held Jacob's hand, and asked worriedly:

"Father, those intruders"

"Yes, Holy Trinity is coming, we must be prepared!"

After all, Jacob took a step forward and said loudly in a thick voice:

"I hereby order that from now on, these two are our allies, and no one is allowed to harm them."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, looked at Lu Qi and the two seriously, and said in a deep voice:

"Come on, we're running out of time"

Everyone moved towards the village, Jacob also began to perform his responsibilities as a leader, and began to assign tasks to his subordinates:

"Prepare weapons and ammunition, defend the defense facilities, and go!"

"Organize people and take the old people and children to the catacombs!!"

"Light the beacon, we must warn other villages!!!"

With the return of Jacob, the entire tribe of the prophet's remnants began to work quickly

Chapter 354 Preparing for war, the conditions of allies

The news of the leader's return spread throughout the village.

And Laura and Lu Qi have officially become allies of the Prophet's remnants, preparing to fight against the invading Holy Trinity together with the people of this land.

As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. The difference between having a leader and not having a leader lies in whether there is a person who can make decisions.

Any organization needs a wise leader in order to lead the collective development and growth.

The existence of Jacob is an important reason why the remnants of the prophets can always live and thrive in this land.

From the eyes of the survivors looking at him, Lu Qi can tell that he is a good leader who is deeply loved by his tribe

The group returned to the meeting hall in the center of the village and met Joseph who stayed behind.

The two who met again did not say much, but just used a hug to express their concern for each other.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Qi and Laura knew that Joseph was not Sophia's uncle, but an elder of the Remnant tribe, who was Jacob's deputy.

"Sorry, we don't trust outsiders very much, so we didn't tell the truth at first"

"Understandably, I would do the same if I were you."
