Chapter 256 Captain, Lost!(1/2)
The white clothes on the corpses that have not completely rotted away are the robes of the God of Light.
The thousands of corpses lying neatly in this corpse pit are believers in the light.
They came to Darkmoon Island at the invitation of Darkmoon Clan Chief Bernard and made great contributions to the development of Darkmoon Island.
As General Tafman said, the reason why our ancestor Bernard has become a hero respected by everyone on Darkmoon Island is not just because of his love story, but because he is great enough and because he has made enough achievements.
It is on this basis that his love story will be talked about by future generations and become a good story and legend.
Under Bernard's governance, Dark Moon Island has made great progress, transforming it from a small force hanging alone on the sea to a force that cannot be ignored in the region. Now, it can even compete with the God of Order.
The church talks about establishing a cooperative relationship.
These are the foundation and definite structure laid in the Bernard era.
Karen has not read those two notebooks, but he can probably guess that to be able to attract such a large force of remnants of light to Dark Moon Island to achieve cooperation, Bernard must have promised something.
For these remnants of light, having a foothold, a base, and a stable start from scratch is a temptation that they simply cannot refuse.
However, they must be cautious because they know the sensitivity of their identities, but despite this, they were still invited to the island by Bernard. Bernard's personal factors must have played a huge role in this.
But when the matter was over, after these remnants of light had contributed their strength and efforts to the development of Dark Moon Island, they were trapped and killed here.
This stone monument is the tombstone erected by Bernard for them.
Their contribution was affirmed on the tombstone, and Bernard did not cover up his shameless betrayal.
This island is not far from Darkmoon Island, but it is permanently sealed. Even if you drive a boat right in front of it, you will not be able to see its existence.
This is not a snake island, but a grave island;
Not only are the corpses of thousands of light believers buried, but also the secret of the true rise of Darkmoon Island, as well as the dirty and dark side of the ancestor Bernard who was praised by everyone.
Ophelia bit her lip, she felt extremely complicated now.
Of course, Karen believed that she could recover quickly and would not "break down" because of this incident, and would not even be able to break through her defenses.
After all, as an ancestor, Bernard has made outstanding contributions to the islanders of Darkmoon Island for his descendants. Ophelia is a strong contender for the next generation leader of Darkmoon Island. Even though she is still very young now,
There's no way she doesn't know the dark side of being in a high position.
It's just that the story of ancestor Bernard is so beautiful that when it is truly linked to reality, there is a gap.
This sense of gap also exists on Karen's side.
Because the "Bernard" he knew and knew was just a poor young patriarch who pursued Pu'er hard.
Even though Pu'er was very disgusted with his entanglement, ridiculed him in various ways, and even left him directly on an isolated island full of dangers for a "forgetting in the sea", he was still obsessed with this love that only moved him.
Oh no, he also used his lies to weave a sweet dream. In this sweet dream, he not only moved himself, but also moved generations of people on Darkmoon Island.
So much so that when Ophelia stood in front of the Pu'er tombstone in Wayne Manor, her eyes turned red.
This is a ridiculous person, this is a sad person, you may even feel an emotion called sympathy for him.
But it was such a person who, at this moment, made Karen see the cold-bloodedness behind his mask.
Karen has come into contact with the people of the Illuminati Cult. They are very cautious, and they have a natural distrust of things around them. Even with such a group of people, Bernard still successfully used and betrayed them.
Ophelia said: "I just started reading the notes. I think there should be a record of this paragraph at the end."
"It's a pity that the answer was revealed in advance."
"What a pity?" Ophelia murmured.
"Probably, this is why your uncle needs the blessing of the dark moon when he tells you to look at these things. These things cannot be seen in the light."
Ophelia nodded and said: "The person you are chasing is the remnant of the light?"
"Yes."
"He knows the teleportation formation in his uncle's villa."
"Now it seems, yes."
"Who is he?"
"I have no idea."
"You're still hiding it from me."
"Yes, there are some things I can't tell you."
"We are of the same race, right?"
"I'm still looking for a sense of belonging, and now is not the time to discuss this. How should we go back?"
"That stone monument is just the connection point for the teleportation formation."
"Who was the previous owner of your uncle's villa?"
"It has always been an industry belonging to the palace, and members of the direct lineage can have the right to use it."
"In other words, in the past, that villa might have belonged to our ancestor Bernard?"
"Uncle said that that villa once belonged to that person, and that person should be the leader of this remnant of light...the team of light believers."
"The house is very big, and it doesn't necessarily only have one person living there, so it's definitely not a one-way teleportation here. The magic circle teleported back to Dark Moon Island must also be on this island.
You see, these corpses are arranged neatly. It seems that they have been processed after the murder. Those who processed the corpses and left the tombstones must be going back.
Maybe, when our ancestor Bernard was still alive, he would come here from time to time."
"have a look?"
"There is no conflict in remembering the friends of the past, even though he betrayed and killed them."
"Then let's start looking. I want to leave here, and this place shouldn't be made public."
"What you said sounded like you were trying to silence me."
"You are a descendant of the ancestor Bernard, and you should protect the wisdom of the ancestor Bernard."
"Perhaps I can learn from the poet Luo Jin and leave a copy of "Karen's Secret Diary" to be published fifty years after my death."
"This time is not suitable for humor. I am holding back anger in my heart for your concealment tonight."
"I know, I know, so I want to distract you."
Ophelia reached out and grabbed Karen's collar, but Karen's eyes were fixed and she kicked off with one leg to avoid it.
"You heard what I said to my uncle tonight. I said that I have a crush on you."
"I also have a crush on you. You are beautiful and cute."
"Perhaps, I can follow the example of my ancestor Bernard and bury you here. This is a good place to bury shameful emotions, isn't it?"
Karen heard this and licked her lips;
He knew that she was angry.
With her status, it is very rare for her to endure everything from the afternoon meeting to the evening meeting and now to now showing signs of catharsis.
"I can do it. Even if you also have the blood of Dark Moon and you have a high status in the Cult of Kosmos, don't really anger me."
"OK."
Ophelia nodded and said: "Now, look for the teleportation circle."
"OK."
Karen knew that she was angry and uncomfortable. Under this premise, unless she was willing to coax her, anything she said would be a sin.
Fortunately, Karen believed that she was just talking and that she could control her emotions.
The location of the teleportation circle should not be on the beach, so the two of them headed towards the dense jungle.
There are many snakes on this island. When walking, the soles of the shoes can easily step on the snakeskin on the ground, which is still a little brittle. Karen finally understands the origin of the name snakeskin bag.
However, although this island has dense vegetation, there seems to be no trace of other biological activities, so how do so many snakes thrive?
There is a hillside in the center of the island, which is not high. Ophelia stepped on the rocks and Karen followed behind. The two of them walked up while observing whether there were caves around them.
Finally, the two of them reached the top of the slope, where they could overlook the entire island, surrounded by the sea on all sides, giving them a sense of despair of being isolated and abandoned.
"Separately, I'll go to this side, you to that side, and we'll meet again here after an hour," Ophelia suggested.
"I don't agree to look for them separately." Karen, who had been silent all the way, finally said, "This is prone to accidents."
In a strange and dangerous environment, we have to act separately. This is almost like helping an "accident" and forcibly paving the way for it to happen.
But Ophelia seemed to have misunderstood Karen's meaning, and she said: "I will not leave you and teleport back alone."
Karen glanced at her and wanted to laugh, but she held it back and tried to keep her tone calm:
"I never worried that you would leave me alone."
"Then why..."
"I'm timid, I'm scared, I'm afraid of the dark."
Ophelia looked at Karen for a long time and could only nod her head and said: "Okay, let's go here."
Karen and Ophelia started going downhill, Ophelia walked in front and Karen walked behind.
Halfway down the slope, Ophelia stopped because a cave appeared in front of her.
"The teleportation circle is probably inside." Ophelia said, taking out a luminous pearl from her pocket and touching it with her fingers. The light of the luminous pearl flashed immediately. Its brightness was no less than that of a searchlight.
The two entered the cave. The cave was surprisingly dry. Logically speaking, this should be a natural nest for snakes, but there were no snake scales or skins inside, nor was there the fishy smell that snakes have.
After walking for a while, a door appeared in front, a stone door.
Karen was about to push forward, but Ophelia got there first, stretched out her hand and pushed, and the stone door was pushed open.
The luminous pearl floated and flew into it, illuminating the environment inside.
There is a stove inside with a pot on it.
The stove is small and is only used to hold a pot.
