Mage? Spell Engineer!

At the end of Harold's Avenue, the Upside Down Church is like a ballerina, pointed by the tallest spire, and the whole building is upside down. Its base is firmly attached to the dome of the cave space, like a huge, white stalactite.

"How do we get up there?" The dwarf raised his head desperately, as if he could not climb to the entrance.

Freddy pointed to the steeple window, with its tattered wooden ladder window hanging down from it.

Obviously it can't carry the weight of four people, and even the small briquettes can only be considered less than half an adult. To be on the safe side, Rorschach gave everyone the [Levitation Technique]. They floated and used their hands to pull themselves up along the hemp rope.

Rorschach suddenly thought, would walking in space also feel like this?

There was no anti-gravity or inversion inside as Rorschach imagined. The big clock was tilted to one side, broken and corroded. Fortunately, the spiral staircase inside the steeple is single-story, which means its underside is now turned over for people to step on.

There was obviously someone here, as there were oil lamps hanging from the top of the tower (originally the bottom of the tower), burning and emitting a nice aroma of oil.

Zinglev raised his big nose and said, "It's whale oil. And it's high-grade, otherwise it would just smell bad." His hometown has a lot of products refined from whales, and he has a lot to say.

"When you open the door, isn't it a certain distance from the current floor? Be careful not to fall over." When they climbed to the main body of the building and were about to leave the clock tower, the poet remembered that the previous ceiling was the current floor and reminded him.

But he thought too much. There was a wooden ramp set up when he went out. He stepped on it carefully and landed smoothly.

The church's rooms and corridors are complex, but the rest of the place is dark. There is only one path lit with the same oil lamp, which seems to guide visitors.

"It's so gloomy. It's the same as the tomb I visited before."

Indeed, the atmosphere is similar to that of a back-and-forth fight. From the perspective of [dark vision], Rorschach saw that the unlit areas were very dilapidated, and the remains of wooden furniture and lamps were scattered all over the place. This means that it is possible that the church was originally normal, but was suddenly turned upside down and all the furnishings were shattered. There was also a lot of accumulated feces, and when a gust of wind blew by, an unpleasant smell came.

"This is the territory of their kind." After communicating with his "men", Little Coal Ball announced that the accumulated feces came from bats.

They followed the path indicated by the oil lamp, with Singletary being more cautious and walking ahead. He always kept his gun ready. Whenever he encountered a door, he would open it with the muzzle of his gun. If there was anything dirty, he would be able to get the hot gun immediately.

Freddy doesn't think he needs to be like Singletary. His theory is that people who can stay in a ghost place like the Upside Down Church must not be normal people, and I'm afraid guns are useless at all. The explosion of the doll's barrel was more terrifying, so he insisted on using the fire stick as a walking stick.

"There are paintings! We have come to the main hall!" The poet and the poet were happy to see art, although the art was trampled under their feet.

Fortunately, the ceiling in the church is not a vault. It seems that Istani has its own architectural style, but what remains unchanged is the mural to be painted on the ceiling of the main hall.

The place they were standing on was an island described as lush with water and grass. The protagonists were elves. Their clothes were simple, and the decorative images were mostly natural elements such as grass, leaves, and flowers. Among them was a tall and beautiful elf, holding his head with one hand, half sitting and half lying on the canopy of the giant tree, accepting worship from other elves.

Humans are also on this land, and their clothes are simpler than those of the elves. There are scenes of elves sharing food with humans, which seems to have a good relationship.

Step by step, the content depicted in the oil painting changes accordingly. A wooden boat with its horns raised is docked, and a short humanoid creature wearing animal skins is rushing toward the settlement brandishing an ax and a hammer. Thick smoke rises everywhere it goes. However, the fireworks did not burn the giant tree. At this time, the worshiped elf closed his eyes and seemed to be in a slumber, unable to hear the cries of the people below.

"It seems that the dwarves are the villains here, right?" Freddy was not too concerned about the excitement. He whistled to Singlev: "Maybe there are some of your ancestors in there."

Zinglev was completely indifferent: "Anyway, we love peace now. The recent war is to compete with you Istani people for fishing grounds, not even for land. The fight has not yet started." This matter obviously embarrassed the royal navy. There was no report, and Freddy just thought Singletary was talking nonsense.

The images of both sides of the war change in the picture. Both sides have evolved from coarse cloth and animal skin clothing to armor, swords, shields, bows and arrows. You can also see the dwarves pulling out strange creations, while the elves wave their branches and summon Giant trees, bears and other large animals participated in the battle, and there was even a bridle flying dragon in the sky.

Still sleeping, still sleeping. At this time, the giant tree had grown into the sky, and the great elf seemed to be lying on the clouds without being able to see below.

The smoke continued to burn, but the enemy changed. Some humans wearing better armor joined, as well as cavalry holding lances in one hand and scriptures in the other. Their armors still glowed with golden light. The human team was mainly composed of soldiers from the old empire and people from the Church of Light and Order. At the back of the team were batches of half-clothed human slaves, as well as guys in strange clothes mixed in with the crowd, holding up staffs.

"Look who's here?" Now the dwarf came back to the scene and asked the poet knowingly.

Freddy shook his head: "Maybe my ancestors were pure natives of Istani."

The story of the oil painting is very strong, even the little brittle ball who is not good at words can understand it. Of course, she does not know that the people surrounded by yellow and white paint represent the Church of Order.

Smashed furniture and broken chandeliers were moved away, and the group wondered what was depicted next.

A grand battle unfolded. An extremely huge and noble elf was fighting a giant of the same size. The giant's face could not be seen clearly, only its vague outline. Among them was a smaller woman with antlers and a sad face. The middleman is not attacking either party. Countless little people at their feet were also fighting, and there were also sacrifices. The blood of sacrifices and warriors was flowing all over the earth.

There are also many unknown creatures with wings. They either hold heavenly fire or thunder and lightning, and strangle flying dragons and other flying beasts in the sky.

The sky and the earth were burning, and there were countless trees. The side facing the great elf grew crazily and became twisted. The side where the Lord of Order saw it burned with fire, leaving only dark charcoal at the end. The earth is cracking, rivers are flowing, and entire islands are being destroyed.

"This painting is too rough." Zinglev curled his lips. The dwarf had exited the painting, and now he could comment without any scruples. If the previous picture was a realistic style with superb skills, here it is an abstract style with image collapse.

"Because it depicts a battle between gods." It was not difficult for Rorschach to guess that the Great Golden Man is the Lord of Order, and the person opposite him should be Sylvanos, the main god of the elves. He has a handsome appearance, and even his angry look is full of charm. , but relatively, the attack methods and techniques are far inferior to those of the Lord of Order. It seems that after this guy became a god, he ignored the elves below until the Lord of Order and the Terrifying Ape Apes landed on the island and ransacked their homes.

As in well-known history, the Lord of Order and his human empire were victorious. Sylvanos reluctantly escaped into the clouds, and the deer-headed goddess who clearly did not participate in the battle was pierced by a spear of light, and she and Rorschach were in Dryats' dream. consistent with what is seen in .

The original woods and meadows turned into towns, where the conquerors lived in tall and gorgeous palaces, and the church of the Lord of Order rose from the ground.

And the whip fell hard on the conquered. Among them are not only elves and locals, but also human slaves who migrated here.

They felt pain and despair. In the villages by the sea, strange altars began to be built. On the dark and dark sea surface, a new great existence came.
