Chapter 450 Blazing Coffin
As night fell over the eastern coastal city, the valley by the Mediterranean Sea, which should have been welcoming the morning sunshine, was still shrouded in endless rain.

The white fog that came with the rain filled the mountains and forests, adding another obstacle to the already inconvenient movement in the mountains.

Members of the Gattuso family in black were vaguely visible in the mist, and the academy specialists who came with Lu Lincheng were also mixed in. They were searching everywhere, and there might be something else around such a large tomb group.

However, rain, fog, and forests greatly increase the difficulty of the search. Without the right time and place, it is useless to have only the right people.

Lucrecia shook off the rain on her body and took off the hood of her raincoat. Her bright golden hair, which she was so proud of, was inevitably stained with rain, and some of it stuck to her neck, which was also wet from the rain.

This somewhat sloppy appearance made her, who always paid attention to her image, quite uncomfortable. But no matter how uncomfortable she was, what could she do? The rain washed away the road they had come from, and they were trapped in this small valley.

With the power of Gattuso's family, such a thing seems impossible to happen, but it actually happened.

The rain in the valley has been falling since yesterday. Although it seems heavy, it is not enough to prevent the helicopter from taking off. But once mixed with the fog, the helicopter that came to pick them up lost its way several times and is still hovering somewhere in the mountains.

The sea route was also blocked. The family's ships from Rome and Portofino had already set out last night, but they lost their way when they entered the sea area near the valley which was also covered by fog.

When they emerged from the fog, they either drifted to their hometown of Sicily or entered the waters of neighboring France. This was really unacceptable for the Gattuso family members who grew up by the sea.

Although outside aid could not enter here, fortunately the electronic signal was not completely blocked. Although the signal was weak and could not contact Dongfang, it was still possible to inform the family members on standby outside the valley.

Lucrecia stood under the tent, looking outside. The fog blocked her vision, but she was not greatly affected by the awakened bloodline. Even if she did not enter the solemn and strange Omega Hall again, she could still look at the huge building that was almost embedded in the mountain from the outside.

According to my mother, this group of tombs is hidden in the mountain. If it weren't for the sudden heavy rain that caused the landslide, no one would have thought that such a thing that could shock the world could be hidden in this small valley that no one cared about.

Omega's tombs. Even though she had personally fought these guys at close range in the Roman Nibelung, Lucrecia was still shocked by the scale of these tombs.

It seems a bit inappropriate to call this relic a tomb complex, because this place is more like a temple than a cemetery.

Lucrecia looked at the outline of the "tomb" that was looming in the rain and fog. As early as when she was in the Roman Nibelung, she discovered that these guys were not just machines. They could build gorgeous and classical cities, which shocked her when she first entered the Roman Nibelung. It was like returning to the amazing cultural renaissance era.

They built tall temples that radiated a magnificent aura as if some great being had been present... but at the same time, they gave people a strong sense of déjà vu.

Because similar temples...or churches, are spread all over Europe.

Lucrecia didn't dare to imagine it any further. This mythical creature, Omega, in some ways, overlapped with the religion she believed in...

"Have a cup of coffee to wake yourself up." Mrs. Gulveig in the tent brought her a cup of hot coffee.

When she discovered the anomaly in this valley, she keenly realized that it would not be a task that could be completed in a short period of time to fully discover the secrets here. Therefore, when this camp was first established, a lot of supplies were stockpiled.

This is also the reason why they can remain so calm even when their connection with the outside world is half cut off.

Lucrecia took the coffee and took a sip. The warmth and bitterness refreshed her as she had not had much rest all night.

"It's really amazing." She exhaled a breath of hot air, "What we found seems to be just a corner of the ruins. I wonder what else is hidden in the mountains here."

Gulveig glanced at his daughter and said, "I thought you would be confused because the contents conflict with your beliefs."

The mixed-race society originally did not believe in religion. After all, according to the descriptions in religious texts, they were not completely human and seemed to be the ones who would be liquidated on the Day of Judgment.

However, the fading of their bloodline made them panic and inevitably seek spiritual comfort. The Gattuso family was not the first one to do this. After all, even the Kassel Academy, the center of the mixed-blood world, had a large church.

Lucrecia turned her head to look at her mother. In stark contrast to her, this noble lady did not lose her composure because of the bad weather in the mountains.

She smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, you told me that praising the Lord is to pursue peace of mind, but if this itself brings confusion to the mind, then it is putting the cart before the horse."

This statement was considered treasonous by other believers, but Mrs. Gulveig, who brought religion into the Gattuso family, showed no emotion, because it was indeed what she said.

The hybrids were indeed becoming more and more secular, and closer to ordinary people, but they knew that before humans, there were powerful dragons who once ruled the world.

The civilization of dragons is no longer traceable, but the stories they left behind have evolved into myths around the world. Unlike ordinary people who simply view religious classics and myths as stories, they have understood the reality of the world and have truly come into contact with "myths" themselves.

Who knows which of those "myths" tells the story of this religion, which is believed by the most people in the world?

"I can see that you are not troubled by this." Mrs. Gulveig looked at her daughter with praise, and then asked, "Then my daughter, what makes you so uneasy?"

Lucrecia turned her head to look at her mother and sighed secretly. This is what a mother is. No matter how bright your smile is, she can still see at a glance the heavy worries in your heart.

"Well, I guess it's not because of me?" Another lady came over.

She seemed to be about the same age as Mrs. Gulveig, but her appearance and figure could not be seen because of the heavy hooded raincoat, but she must be not much younger.

But compared to the elegant and graceful Lady Gulveig, her raincoat could not hide her fatigue. That's right, after two consecutive days of observation in the ruins, even a mixed-blood like Lucrecia who has awakened her bloodline would inevitably feel tired, let alone those of them who only have an excellent bloodline rating?

But even so, it couldn't conceal the unique temperament of the lady. Fatigue turned into laziness on her, but she behaved so competently, as if no matter where she went, people couldn't ignore her existence. This reminded Lucrecia of her good friend Chen Motong. In some ways, the two seemed similar. But the one who was more similar to this lady was her fiancé. When he was lazy and didn't want to do anything, he was exactly the same.

After all, they are mother and son, how can they be any different?

"Professor... Joe." Lucrecia greeted him a little stiffly.

Qiao Weini, the wife of the dean of Lu Lincheng who I met before...also, the mother of her fiancé. She is an oriental woman, but both her name and her personality are like a western woman.

"Don't be so reserved. I heard that you are a very generous girl." Qiao Weini looked at the girl who, theoretically, would become one of her daughters-in-law in the future.

"Forgive my rudeness, but at a time like this, I can't help but lose my composure." Lucrecia said that as a legitimate fiancée, she shouldn't have treated this future mother like this.

However, when there are quotation marks around the word "legitimate" and a semicolon after the word "fiancée", it becomes a different matter.

"Ah, you're talking about that plan..." Qiao Wei Ni seemed a little distressed, and then looked at Mrs. Gulveig, who had not spoken since she came in, "I'm sorry, I tried to stop it, but it was useless."

As a staunch supporter of monogamy, Jovini believed that monogamy was one of the great achievements of mankind and should not be trampled upon, so she naturally voted against the Nibelungen Plan.

But it turned out to be useless.
However, as the mother of "Adam", the core of the plan, how much effort she put in opposing this plan seems to be a mystery.

"Yes, it seems that you really did your best." Mrs. Gulveig replied coldly.

Lucrecia saw that her mother was not dissatisfied with her future mother. It was more like a conversation between two good friends who had not seen each other for many years. One knew that she would not care about what she said, and the other would not care about what she said.

However, as a daughter, Lucrecia still felt that it was better for her to say something. She smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry about my affairs. I am confident that I can be the only Eve."

Then she looked at the rain outside the tent, and the bright smile on her face gradually disappeared: "What makes me feel uneasy is the things in there."

Although the existence of Omegas is very different, they can die. Lucrecia, who once buried them, naturally understands this. However, is the Omega in this ruins, which only reveals the tip of the iceberg, really dead?
"They are all dead." Qiao Weini gave the answer, and she also looked into the rain. "Perhaps they were still alive when they first entered the temple, but after the things in the coffin came out, they all died without exception."

She seemed to have the same opinion as Lucrecia, and thought that this was not a tomb group but a temple.

"Coffin..." Lucrecia said softly, looking into the depths of the tent.

The coffin taken out of the temple was being cleaned in the deepest part of the tent, ready to be sent to Rome after the rain stopped and the fog dissipated.

The coffin was a long hexagon, with patterns so intricate that it made one dizzy at a glance. There was a huge cross emblem on the detached coffin lid. This was why Mrs. Gulveig felt that her daughter would suffer from a conflict of faith. The coffin was like a holy object.

Similarly, this coffin was too huge. Ordinary people could only look up at it. Even for Omega, it was considered huge. It was hard to imagine what the being lying inside looked like.

The coffin was in the same state when it was inside and it was still in the same state when it was transported outside. It was already opened when it was in the temple. It was naturally empty inside. In the case of insufficient light, the open coffin was like a door. No one knew whether it led to heaven or hell.

...Or, it leads to some other place.

"Whose coffin is this?" Lucrecia asked in confusion.

But after she asked this question, no one answered. Both Mrs. Gulveig, who brought her here, and Qiao Weini, who was directly involved in the excavation process, fell silent.

It was as if the owner of the coffin was a taboo that could not be mentioned.

Lucrecia's uneasiness came not only from the Omegas that had ceased their activities in the temple, but also from the coffin that she had personally escorted out.

Lucrecia didn't know the name of the coffin, and naturally didn't know where it came from. But just when she touched the coffin just now, she suddenly knew the name of the coffin - the Blazing Sky Coffin.

Rather than funeral supplies, the original purpose of this coffin might be to carry something. As for what it was...

Lucrecia looked at the side of the coffin. The Immortal Blade who had left Sunan with her was also standing in the shadows. It was this mobile armor that moved the giant coffin out of the temple.

When they came back, the family specifically requested to bring this armor back with them. The reason was very simple, because the original name of this type of armor was Seraph.

And Omega, in the family's view, is actually the prototype armor of Seraph.

After several enhancements, the size of the Immortal Blade was already comparable to that of Omega. However, standing in front of the giant coffin, it still looked very small. The things in the coffin were much larger than Omega and the Immortal Blade, the Seraph Armor.

Lucrecia turned around and found that her mother was staring at her fiancé's mother with complicated eyes, as if she was hesitating whether to say some ominous guess.

"Mother, do you know something?" The expressions of the two people made her certain that these two people... no, perhaps the four people including their husbands seemed to know something.

Lucrecia still remembers that when she and her mother first arrived here, her father, who had been waiting for them, said that he had never expected that the thing they had been looking for was so close to them.

Mrs. Gulveig turned her head with a complicated expression, while Qiao Weini said solemnly: "These Omegas also have their own saviors."
