All the contract girls want to marry me

Obviously, this is no coincidence.

The overlapping center of these three pictures must be an important location.

Matthew pointed to the overlapping point on the architectural map and asked in a deep voice: "What kind of building is this?"

Diana took a look and said softly: "This is the statue of the Lord of Holy Light."

"When was this statue built?"

"The Great Cathedral is a building left over from the Church of Light. After our Holy See accepted it, many modifications were made. This statue of the goddess was built after the victory of the Undead War in a few years."

"What was this place before this?"

Matthew asked.

Diana shook her head blankly, bit her lip and said, "I don't know."

Matthew: "..."

This answer is too good.

Looking at Matthew's somewhat dissatisfied look, Diana explained innocently: "You know, the first thing to do after a change of dynasty is to try to erase the traces of the previous dynasty."

"The Church of Light once created a civilization that was much more glorious than ours. If their achievements were put on the table, it would be difficult for us to behave as human beings."

Matthew nodded in understanding.

Overthrowing the corrupt old forces, and then surprisingly finding that each generation is worse than the previous one, what do the believers think?

Because of this, the Holy See has been trying to downplay the existence of the Church of Light, but it keeps emphasizing how difficult it is to fight the undead.

The Holy See seized on the final failure of the Church of Light and exaggerated them into evil beings.

Not only that, many good civilizations left behind by the Church of Light have also been swept into the garbage heap of history.

Rebuilding the Great Cathedral is also looking for legal reasons to erase the existence of the headquarters of the Church of Light.

Matthew did not accuse the Holy See. From the other side's point of view, there was no problem in doing so.

He stood up and walked out the door.

"I'm going to have a look at the scene."

"Wait a moment!"

Diana also stood up. She pinched Matthew's sleeve, shook her head slowly and said, "That is the statue of the goddess. If you openly attack the statue, others will not be able to accept it."

Matthew wanted to say that I could use my fists to make them accept it, but thinking about the unity that is most needed now, it was hard to say this.

Diana bit her lip and said, "I know a secret passage that leads to the bottom of the statue of the goddess."

"I found it by accident!"

She emphasized stubbornly.

Matthew smiled and said: "I know. There are always some surprises in this world. This is probably the guidance of fate."

With Diana leading the way, the two opened the entrance to the secret passage from behind a hidden wall and sneaked in quietly.

There was no moon or stars tonight, the courtyard was completely dark, and no one could see the naked eye. No one noticed the two little mice stealing something.

This secret passage is wider than expected, and it is not crowded if two people walk side by side.

Looking at the rich history conveyed by the walls made of stone bricks, Matthew knew that this must be a building from the previous dynasty that had not been discovered by the Holy See.

No wonder Diana didn't want to say it before.

It was discovered that the old buildings of the previous dynasty were neither reported nor demolished, but were kept as secrets. If this were true, it would be enough to be burned on the stake.

Although Matthew would not be serious with her, taking the initiative to expose this secret passage also meant that the fact that Diana's faith was not so firm was exposed. It was not a last resort, and she really didn't want to say it.

Diana was a little embarrassed, but in Matthew's opinion, Diana like this was more real and lovable.

How can people be without selfish motives?

Even the gods in the divine world have selfish motives, and they are very serious.

Through this ancient secret passage, Matthew and Diana came under the statue of the goddess.

Diana stopped and said softly: "This is it."

She spoke softly to the kitten. This feeling was much more exciting than stealing food, so she didn't dare to speak loudly.

Matthew also stopped. The light in his palm became a little brighter, and the bright light illuminated the underground space particularly clearly.

He looked at the surrounding walls carefully and rubbed his palms on the stone walls.

Through the reverberation of magic, Matthew quickly determined one thing.

There are no traps here, the thickness of the walls is very uniform, and there are no obvious flaws.

This wall is completely solid.

Matthew was a little disappointed. He thought he could find things left by the Church of Light here, but he turned out to be a little disappointed.

Diana always felt a little uncomfortable standing under the statue of the goddess, and suggested in a low voice: "Matthew, we can go back."

"Wait a moment!"

Matthew raised his hand to signal Diana not to speak.

He was not reconciled.

He always believed that his judgment was correct.

Matthew carefully inspected the stone wall and took out a lot of alchemical potions and applied them on the wall to help with the exploration, but still found nothing.

Seeing Matthew's disappointed look, Diana did not persuade him to leave like before.

She gently held Matthew's hand and said softly: "Otherwise, let's go look elsewhere and maybe we can find something new."

Matthew knew very well that Diana didn't feel there was anything here at all, she was just comforting him.

The reason is simple. Diana discovered this place earlier and must have been here more than once.

If there really was a secret, could Diana still know it?

Since Diana comes here often, there is no need to look at the usual places.

Purple light emitted from Matthew's palm and the magic was activated.

If it were three days ago, Diana would definitely have stopped this disrespectful behavior towards the gods, but now Diana did not stop it.

It was the goddess who abandoned her, not she who abandoned the goddess.

The magic used by Matthew is [Space Shock].

This magic itself has no lethality. It is mainly used to prevent and destroy space magic and detect space distortion.

With the blessing of magic, the surrounding space began to fluctuate.

Matthew closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations in the power of space.

Still nothing.

After more than ten seconds, Matthew slowly opened his eyes, with a bit of surprise on his expression.

The space here is very stable and even seems to have been reinforced.

Why reinforce the space when there is no place like this underground?

There must be a reason!

Matthew crouched down and looked at the ground carefully.

The ground is not slate, but reinforced earth.

These soils are very old and full of history.

It was this weight that made Matthew believe in his judgment even more.

This is not the ground, but the former roof!

The central part of Hagia Sophia was once a gorgeous palace.

After the Holy See took over this great church, it used special magic to make the originally hard soil very soft, and eventually the palace sank into the ground.

In order to hide the truth, they had to eliminate the idea of ​​people going underground.

They needed a building that no one would dare touch.

This building is the statue of the goddess.

Regardless of whether one has a firm belief or not, one would not dare to disrespect the statue of the goddess within the confines of the cathedral.

Perhaps because of their guilty conscience, or perhaps for some other reason, the palace was basically preserved intact, but sank into the ground.

This secret passage was also preserved by accident, and was accidentally discovered by Diana.

If it could be predicted, would it still be called an accident?

Digging is not difficult as long as you go in the right direction.

Matthew is a super alchemist who is good at making puppets.

After the Spring Breeze Elf stopped running, Matthew never made a puppet with independent thinking, but he made many breakthroughs in ordinary puppets.

He summoned the digging puppet and soon dug a tunnel dozens of meters deep and found the entrance to the underground palace.

It was still several hours before dawn. Matthew and Diana had plenty of time. Driven by curiosity, they entered the underground palace one after another.

Through the tunnel, they entered a buried underground square.

It can be seen from the layout of this square that this must be a building left behind by the Church of Light.

Although the Holy See is secretive about the existence of the Church of Light, they do not reject the good things left by the Church of Light.

The architectural style of the Holy See was largely influenced by the Church of Light.

They made some modifications, bad modifications.

Looking at this former church hall, Matthew was amazed that the Church of Light perfectly combined the artistic taste and practicality of the building.

Unlike the Holy See, which deliberately emphasizes its own sanctity, the architecture of the Church of Light is very grand, full of masculine atmosphere, and very tense.

If the new church hall built by the Holy See is like a high-wattage light bulb, then the church hall of Light shines like the sun.

This kind of grand building exudes a kind of confidence.

Diana looked at this hall and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She is now the Pope of the Holy See, and it feels uncomfortable to be compared to others.

She thought of the disdain for the Holy See and the longing for the glory of the Church of Light in the words of Venerable Michael.

At that time, I thought it was the old guy’s memory filter bonus, but now it seems that it is actually true.

The two came to the entrance of the hall and walked up the steps.

Because it had been buried underground for so long, there was dust everywhere on the steps and it looked a little dilapidated.

However, this dilapidation not only did not weaken the grandeur of this hall, but also added a bit of vicissitudes of life.

The two of them did not communicate verbally, and just walked in silence.

Soon, they walked into the hall and saw the statue of the goddess enshrined in the middle of the hall.

What surprised them was that there were not one statue of the goddess enshrined in the middle of the hall, but two.

One of them is the Lord of Light, and the face of the other one is exactly the same as the Lord of Holy Light, but it looks a bit more charming, and the robe he wears is also black.

"Light and darkness?"

Diana opened her mouth in surprise.

She suddenly remembered the relationship between holy light and black light, and her heart moved. She opened her left and right palms at the same time, and milky white holy light and pitch black light appeared at the same time.

The holy light is soft and the black light is ferocious, both contain infinite power.

The moment Diana summoned the holy light and black light, the two statues also bloomed with corresponding light.

Matthew watched this scene silently, and he vaguely felt that there was some subtle relationship between Diana and the two statues.

If it doesn't matter, even summoning black light and holy light may not activate the statue.

As the light emanating from the two statues became stronger and stronger, the light in Diana's hand gradually brightened, as if in response.

A few seconds later, the two statues suddenly opened their eyes, and a black and white portal appeared between the two statues. Diana's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the portal.
