Sure enough, after walking more than 10 meters, the front is no longer a narrow passage, but an open area, which seems to be a small square.

    After walking out of the passageway, the light of the torch completely illuminated the small square. To be exact, it should be a space similar to the "urn city", with a height of more than 6 meters and an area of more than 1000 square meters, surrounded by a circle of stone walls.

    More than ten holes have been dug in the stone wall, and some sundries can be seen in the holes. Renault guessed that these sundries should be weapons. Once the enemy attacks the passage, the black wizards can rely on the stone wall and use weapons to encircle the enemy.

    It has to be said that this kind of defense facilities are well designed, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is comparable to a solid fortress. It can be seen that the original black wizard organization is indeed full of talents.

    Unfortunately, as the black wizards left, the fortress also sank in the years and became a relic.

    There are a lot of sundries scattered in the square. After walking around the square, people found that they have also become garbage. Metal items are rusty, wood products are completely rotten, and a few sundries have been turned over. This should be the work of the water ghost club.

    There are almost no weapons in these sundries, and there is no sign of weapons cutting on the ground, which shows that the black wizards took the initiative to put the fortress, there was no battle, and they were in a hurry to leave, abandoning a lot of inconvenient things.

    As for the holes in the stone wall, Renault used [mindpower] to fly up and glance at them. As he guessed, time has eroded the weapons in the holes and turned these well-made killing weapons into rags. But it can also be seen that they are long-range weapons such as large bows and crossbows.

    Obviously, in addition to the black wizard, there are many soldiers in the black wizard organization. These weapons are mainly used by those soldiers.

    According to Renault''s information, the way of cultivation of black wizards is very strange. They don''t use magic power to strengthen themselves, but turn it into curse energy, and their melee ability is weak.

    Because of this, the black wizards are not suitable to fight alone, so the black wizard organization recruited a large number of soldiers.

    In battle, the black wizard uses strange black magic to weaken the enemy, and the soldier is responsible for protecting the black wizard.

    A hole more than 3 meters high has been dug on the right side of the stone wall, which is the gate to another area.

    After passing through the gate, Renault was shocked at just one glance.

    This is a huge square!

    These black witches have hollowed out a mountain. How did they do that?

    Even in the earth where there are a lot of construction machinery, it is not easy to achieve this. This group of people from other worlds should not be underestimated.

    The area of the square is 10 times of that of the small square, and the top of the square is a spherical dome with beautiful radian. This structure can ensure that the top will not collapse, and there is no need for stone column support, so the vision is very wide.

    Standing on the square, you can clearly feel the air flow, the air is not very dull, obviously there is air circulation, you can exchange air with the outside world.

    That is to say, the ventilation facilities have been working for hundreds of years.

    On the surrounding stone walls, you can see dense holes, which are "rooms" for people to live in.

    Seeing this, Renault has been convinced that there must be great fallacies in various legends about the "black wizard trial" and "black wizard organization against the father''s Church".

    The reason why the patriarchal church hunts the black wizard is certainly not because of the absurd saying of "eliminating evil".

    Although there have been rumors of demons in this world, no one has ever really seen demons. Where does the church go to eliminate evil?

    So the church has another purpose.

    It should be true that there has been a fierce fight between the black wizards and the divine knights, but the black wizard organization is not alone against the church.

    The black wizard is just a cover on the surface. It is someone else who really confronts the church.

    "He" is the king!

    The essence of black wizard trial is actually the struggle between theocracy and kingship.

    In order to fight for secular power, the two sides had a fight to the death.

    In order to fight against the church, the royalists wooed a large number of black witches, formed a black wizard organization, and even provided them with a large number of materials. The bow and crossbow in the hole in the stone wall is enough to prove this.

    Otherwise, how can such a large-scale underground fortress be built by hundreds of black wizards alone?

    The patriarchal church was not willing to be outdone. They launched a massive black wizard trial to cut off the royalists.

    The result of the contest is self-evident. The ruins themselves have explained everything.

    Renault suddenly asked, "Angela, during the black wizard trial hundreds of years ago, were any kings deposed or executed?"

    Angela looked at Renault for some reason and began to think about it. As a young lady from a big noble family, she systematically studied the history of the mainland.

    After frowning and thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "if I remember correctly, more than 300 years ago, Lord VII of Dushan kingdom was burned by the father''s church for blasphemy."

    "Later, in the name of purification, the Pope took rod VIII to the Holy See and educated him personally until he became king."Renault couldn''t help smacking his tongue.

    They are really cruel enough. In order to completely overpower the monarchy, it''s not enough to kill the former king. They even train the next generation of kings into puppets.

    After the victory of the church, all the records about the fight in the history books were erased, and all the blood and cruelty were summed up with a light sentence of "black wizard trial".

    The girl asked curiously, "why do you ask this?"

    Renault said with a smile, "because this relic is the secret fortress built by Lord VII."

    Everyone was shocked.

    Next, Renault will explain a series of reasoning process. His logic is very strict, and the derivation process is also perfect, which makes it impossible to refute.

    Finally, Renault made a conclusion with one sentence: "the real reasons behind the seemingly ridiculous events in history books are not absurd at all."

    In the history books on the earth, there are also countless examples. The most typical case is the "Warlords" in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

    In order to win the beauty a smile, at several times deliberately lit the beacon fire, Zhou you king really have such brain damage?

    This story is more ridiculous than the "black wizard trial".

    In fact, the real situation is just the dog blood ethical drama of the royal family of Zhou Dynasty, that is, the infighting between king you and his father and son. As a result, King Ping colluded with the princes and killed his father king you.

    In the middle ages of Europe, there were similar absurd stories, such as the witch trial which lasted for more than 300 years.

    In this evil tide of persecution of women, thousands of women are framed as witches, and there are countless ghosts in the inquisition.

    After listening to Renault, the others were silent.

    In this group, except for Renault, who has no faith, all of them are believers of the father''s church, except that muse and Angela are shallow believers, while the goodies are slightly more devout.

    In their opinion, although there are a lot of scum in the church, it is not bad on the whole.

    But Renault''s words completely overturned their cognition and made them realize for the first time that the Church of the father is an interest group in essence, from the Pope to the lowest clergy.

    As long as someone stands in the way of this group and violates its interests, the church will not hesitate to destroy him, even the king.

    After searching for nothing, they left.

    The water ghost club has got ahead of others. These people have turned over every corner of the ruins. They are cleaner than dogs.

    Next, Renault and others will go all the way to the East, cross the whole black witch marsh, make a detour in the middle of a small town, and finally go to Baisha Bay.

    There are a large number of port cities in Baisha Bay. Before the storm season, countless merchant ships came and went to Baisha Bay. As long as people arrived at Baisha Bay, it was easy to find the opportunity to go to sea.

    The drizzle hit the broad lake, causing countless ripples.

    The misty rain between heaven and earth is like a fairyland.

    Renault was sitting on the iceboat, pretending to be fishing with a bamboo pole nearly 10 meters long.

    The iceboat is not the one before, but a new one rebuilt by Renault, with a length of more than 15 meters.

    The construction method is also very simple, using fast drying wood and vines to build the prototype of the ship, and then wrapping it with a thick layer of ice is enough. With Renault''s super efficiency, it only takes half an hour.

    The bamboo pole comes from Heiwu marsh. A few days ago, when he passed by a swamp shrub, Renault came across a strange kind of bamboo. The whole body of the bamboo is snow-white, and the surface has formed a natural ice pattern. It feels cold.

    Even muse and Angela don''t recognize this kind of bamboo. Obviously, it''s a new variety produced by magic power mutation. In an environment full of magic power, mutation is everywhere, and there are countless strange things.

    Renault named it snow bamboo. Its flexibility is amazing. When snow bamboo is folded in half, there is no trace of fracture. It can be called the top fishing rod material.

    Because of this, this guy just on the spur of the moment, using snow bamboo to make a fishing rod, indulged in "fishing" activities.

    At the top of the fishing rod, a long wire line drops into the lake. As the waves rise and fall, the end of the wire is empty, with neither hook nor bait.

    According to Renault, it''s called "Lei Gong" fishing, and those who wish to take the bait.

    Yes, as long as Renault''s favorite fish are all "taken" voluntarily.

    If anyone dares not to take the bait, his ferocious nature will be exposed instantly, and he will strangle it with wire.

    Squatting on one side of the three silly suddenly "ah Wu" called, but also stretched out the dog''s paw has been pointing to the distance.

    Angela, sitting on the other side, immediately touched a black ring on her left hand and began to focus.

    Then the girl said, "Sansha said that a big fish came to us."

    The black ring in her hand is exactly the strange ring that Renault seized from Russell. This strange ring has a quite magical effect - communicating with animals.As long as the mental power and magic power are input into the ring at the same time, it can establish a stable spiritual link with the designated animal. Within a certain range, the user and the animal can clearly sense each other''s position.

    What''s more, as long as the animal''s IQ is high enough, both sides can even communicate through ideas.

    So Renault gave the ring a name: the ring of animal language.

    However, for Renault, the ring of animal language is of little use. He simply transfers the ring to Angela, which is regarded as waste utilization, so that she can communicate with Sansha barrier free.

    After the girl got the strange ring, she became a translator of Sansha.

    Sansha''s perceptual ability was really amazing. It took more than ten seconds for Renault to see a water mark on the lake through the continuous rain and water vapor.

    Big fish!

    According to the thickness of the water mark, the fish must be more than 3 meters long.

    When the water mark was close to 30 meters away, Renault suddenly picked up the snow bamboo pole. The metal wire at the end of the bamboo pole was suddenly pulled up by the bamboo pole and flew up to the sky with a large string of water drops.

    Then, as if the silk thread had a sense of wisdom, it floated up automatically and quickly flew to the water mark.

    It''s time for the willing to take the bait.

    Big fish seems to be aware of something bad, suddenly splashing large waves on the water, it suddenly swung its tail, changed the direction of swimming, quickly dived, trying to avoid the wire.

    At the next moment, the speed of the silk thread suddenly increased, and it stabbed into the water in the blink of an eye and rolled the tail of the big fish.

    Before the big fish had time to react, the silk thread turned into a fatal cutting line, dragged around the tail at high speed, and easily cut the scales and cut into the fish.

    The fish''s tail was cut off for 14 days, and a large amount of blood spilled from the fracture and dyed the lake red.

    What''s more, the wound seriously affected the action of big fish, that is to say, it was disabled.

    Renault raised his hand again, and a cold water passed quietly in the water, hitting the big fish accurately. The water burst and wrapped the big fish.

    Then the ice water condensed into ice, completely trapped the big fish and brought it to the surface.

    With [reverse heat convection], there is no fish that Renault can''t catch.

    Renault looked at the ice and touched his nose. "I''ve eaten this one. I''ll grab another one."
