Compared to the rear of the church where Shade appeared just now, the main hall of the church is relatively well preserved. Even the long stone seats are still intact, at least half of them. The area here is very open, and when it is prosperous, it can accommodate at least a few hundred people to sit together and listen to the priest's sermons.
It's a pity that now, the surrounding windows are blocked by debris, short grass that still remains active in winter grows in the cracks of the bricks on the ground, and there is no trace of the Holy Emblem on the wall behind the pulpit. It is impossible to identify where this church belongs. A god from the past.
The wildness of nature and the majestic church are perfectly integrated. Everything in this world cannot withstand the power of time.
The only thing worth noting is the stone statue of a middle-aged man in a robe sitting on the right side of the central aisle, in the first row of flute tables and chairs. The stone statue was very lifelike, with the details of the hair, the folds of the robe, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes completely consistent with the real person. stone statue eyes
Looking at the empty wall of the church where the Holy Emblem should be hung, Shade could even see relief and melancholy in his eyes.
The face of the stone statue is a typical southern Kasenlik look. If it weren't for the sufficient light here, Shade would even think it was a living person.
"Stone statue?"
He walked over, put his hand on the shoulder of the sitting statue, and then felt that he touched a thick layer of dust.
[Ordinary stone statue. "Is it just a stone statue?"
【Yes. If you don't believe it, try breaking it. 】
Shade hesitated and did not do so. Although it is difficult for [Breath of Time] to restore that special stone, since that stone statue is the only broken thing in that church, let it stay outside.
After checking the outside for a while, and sighing at the scenery, Carson came to the small door of the main hall of the church. The small door outside is not the entire church. Although it is not blocked by debris, the double metal doors are locked together tightly.
"The person with the lock on the inside who was the first to leave locked himself out of the church, or did he use the space maze to leave?"
I was thinking in my mind, and whether the door lock was meaningful to Carson, but to me who had not yet been promoted to Central, I just knocked on the metal door, and the lock popped open with a click, and even the hinges It crashed automatically and fell to the snowy ground.
Squeak~
He bent down slightly and exerted force with his hands. With a harsh sound, the double-open metal door was pushed open a small gap, allowing the sunlight inside to escape. He walked out of the door sideways and stood on the platform below the steps of the church. He covered his eyebrows with his left hand and looked at Qi Zhou with squinted eyes without any surprise.
In Carson's imagination, since the abandoned church could still remain relatively intact and there were no traces of human activity, it must be in the mountains of the Granger Valley, or deep in the jungle. But when I really came to the door, I saw that inside the church was a deserted courtyard covered with snow. In the center of the courtyard, there was no statue fountain except the base. And inside the courtyard, there are actually the streets of the city.
A silent flow of people passed through the ancient abandoned church. Citizens dressed in Shadwyck winter clothes continued their lives in the weather with fine snowflakes falling.
The street is very narrow, but it can still allow two carriages to go towards each other. The small gate of the church courtyard is a wrought iron gate common in church buildings. Across the street from the gate is a second-hand bookstore with no eight floors. The snow dyed the vertical roof silver, and ice hung from the door of the bookstore
The rain eaves on the first floor were hanging down, and a young man who looked like an apprentice was holding a broom low and trying to lift them up.
Looking closer to the sky, the city's bell tower, the side spire of the Zhengshen Church, and the chimneys spewing white smoke into the sky are all visible in the turbid snow.
The girl selling newspapers passed by the church door, did she look outside? The gentleman with a cane passed by in a hurry, but he just glanced at his pocket watch. The carriage drove past the entrance of the abandoned church, causing Carson to focus on the white curved arch gate at the entrance to the church courtyard.
Under the gate. But then I realized that the people down the street didn't seem to pay any attention to the rather small church.
Not only did some people notice me, but some even cast their gazes at the deserted courtyard. Even the strangers in that neighborhood would definitely cast their gaze outside even once.
"There is no such building outside the territory. It is reasonable in itself. The church will allow the Old God Church to appear in the territory city. And even if the Orthodox Church allows it, it is also reasonable whether the homeless people come to occupy the winter residence outside. People inside see it. Out there? Then
The second exit is really boring. "
But the export is outside the territory, which is also a good thing for Carson. At most, it saves me the time of running around.
I tried walking up the steps behind the church door and into the courtyard, and sure enough, someone still noticed me. So Carson grabbed a handful of snow, kneaded it into a snow ball, and threw it over the fence. The snowball fell on the street and scattered. The woman passing by with a white briefcase immediately looked at
The snowball on the ground then looked at Qi Zhou in confusion, as if he was looking for which naughty child was throwing the snowball.
But in fact the "naughty child" is outside the yard on the other side of the fence.
"It seems that you can really see it."
Although he understood why, Carson wanted to go out and take a look after all. In order to prevent myself from coming back, I tied a thin wire under the fence of the courtyard. Then I held one end of the thin wire and opened the fence door, and then walked out.
When Carson's entire body came under the street inside, no one finally glanced at me, but they were not surprised at all, as if I was standing in this fixed position.
"When you walk out of the gate, it feels like you've crossed a film of water. The power of space."
I was thinking in my mind, looked up at my hand, and found that the thread was broken. Then he turned around and looked in front of him, only to find that there was a wall in front of him.
Walk a little further and take a closer look. On both sides of the wall are the courtyard of the "Granger City Public Printing Plant" and the eight-story building with the sign "Berkeley Botanical Exhibition Hall".
The house number of the building on the right is "No. 11, Cherry Leaf Street", and the house number on the left is "No. 12, Cherry Leaf Street". As for the abandoned church where Carson walked out just now, there were many traces of it.
"That's really..."
I inhaled slightly and pressed my hand under this wall. That wall was the inner wall of the "Berkeley Botanical Exhibition Tube". When my hand touched the wall, I felt every bit of normality: "Can you feel anything?"
[Are there any traces of elements? Maybe a specific method is needed to make the courtyard appear again. 】
Carson sighed, turned around and leaned against the wall, pulled up his hat, and looked at the small street behind him:
"You were really careless that time, so how should you go back?"
After checking it dozens of times, until many of the apprentices in the used bookstore on the other side of the wall noticed me, Carson reluctantly left the place and temporarily accepted the fact that the abandoned church had disappeared.
Without walking far, I crossed the street and retreated to the Terrence Secondhand Bookstore at "25 Cherry Leaf Lane" opposite. I walked through the bookshelves in the secondhand bookstore and selected an old book with multiple title pages missing, "Xia Dewai". "The Story of the Forest", intending to take it back as a gift for Young Rosie, and then walked towards the counter.
The person guarding the counter was an old gentleman wearing a wool vest, gray hair, and reading glasses. I was holding my head high, carefully repairing the torn parts of an old book with missing pages.
The old man paid Carson's bill very slowly, but before Carson took back the change, he asked in Shadwaiki, which he was not quite proficient in yet:
"Sir, you are actually a writer from the countryside."
As he spoke, he raised the book in his hand:
"You heard that there are a lot of boring rumors on that street. Do you know if I can't tell you about them?"
"A boring rumor?"
The old man's pronunciation of Shadwaiki was very standard, probably with the accent of the Granger Valley. I raised my head and pushed up my reading glasses, looking at Carson with slightly clear eyes. There was nothing casual about it. He said carefully:
"He must be concerned about the rumors that the blacksmith living at the end of the street is not having an affair with the young bartender in the tavern. So you think what he wants to hear is the story of 'the church that exists.' "
"Not really."
Yu Lun thought in her mind and flicked the large 1 pfennig coin in the change onto the table:
"Can I tell you about it?" "That's a story that doesn't make sense."
The old man did not take care of the coin, but continued to deal with the old book in his hand:
"Every few years, no one claims to have seen an abandoned church down that street, yes, right across from that store. But no matter how much people check, they often find no trace of the so-called church. . Even the priest from the Peace Church in the distance came here specially.
Checked, but apparently nothing came of it. "
"What a boring rumor...Have you ever seen the so-called church?"
"Of course not. To be honest, how do you doubt that kind of rumor? But if you write it into a story, you think it will probably be very boring."
Carson smiled and nodded. As long as this church "randomly appeared in any corner of the city" and was actually under the street, it would be fine if I saw it.
"Oh, I also want to ask you something else."
I left another coin:
"Local, are there no minor nobles with the surname 'Randall'?" "
"It seems that he is indeed from the countryside. He is of Common Language standards. He is the Earl of Willendale's Bar Valley - Earl of Randall. His reputation is probably unknown to anyone in the local area."
The old man said, still not paying attention to the coins.
"count?"
Carson was startled. In that case, I would have to disguise myself before I could send these two medals back.
"Excuse me, where is the manor of Earl Randall?"
“Want to buy a city map?”
The old man raised his head and asked with a smile, then pointed at the two coins:
"That can be counted in addition to the cost of the information."
