Chapter 004: The Sound of the Bell

The backrest of that throne extends directly to the apex of the temple, with twelve enormous black wings extending out on either side

only to find that the surroundings were filled with an intensely cold white blizzard

He took off his clothes; too exhausted, Su Ge did not take a shower and fell into a deep sleep on the bed

After thinking for a moment, Su Ge suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he was shot and killed by this long gun when he got off work

This pattern is something that Su Ge will never forget in his lifetime, as it was the last sight he saw before his death

In the city center, the bells of the Church of the Holy Blood rang six times, signifying the arrival of morning and the beginning of a new day

On either side of every four steps, there are a pair of exquisite statues

"This thing is too conspicuous; it would be great if it could turn into a cane," said Suge as he prepared to rise.

That is not a dream! Moreover, this spear looks quite familiar. Having experienced such great upheavals as time travel, Su Ge's ability to cope has significantly improved.

When he climbed to the edge of the throne, he hesitated for a moment but did not sit down. Following the enormous wings extending from the back of the throne, he arrived at the top of the temple, the location of the bell tower that was making the sound

The sound of the bell held an inexplicable allure for Su Ge, and he instinctively took a step towards the temple.

Hoo hoo hoo

These four statues are uniformly mounted on skeletal warhorses clad in heavy armor, each adorned in different garments and possessing distinct forms

This staircase consists of sixteen steps. As before, there are pairs of statues on both sides every four steps.

Suddenly, Su Ge exerted force, accompanied by a piercing sound of friction, as he pulled out the two-meter-long spear in one swift motion

Above is a flat area approximately three meters long, followed by the steps of the second stage

At this very moment, he realized that the silver spear that had appeared in his dream was firmly grasped in his hand

This statue depicts a group clad in heavy armor, wearing wolf-headed helmets and silver-gray masks, each statue approximately two meters tall, entirely silver-gray, resembling real figures.

At the third level at the very top, there is an ancient bell tower, within which a large black clock can be seen faintly in the center.

Knock knock knock

Such a scene made Su Ge very suspicious; if it were not for this ship being frozen by white frost, there would even be a risk of it disintegrating at any moment

This temple is entirely pitch black, resembling one constructed from obsidian, exuding a sense of both solidity and a heavy, eerie atmosphere

The bedroom is not large, approximately 20 square meters. The interior is quite simple, featuring a double bed that once belonged to my parents, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe, with nothing else.

Dong!

Suddenly, Su Ge sat up and was astonished to find himself drenched in sweat, as if he had just emerged from an oven

The body seems to have recovered somewhat. Su Ge thought about moving his body a bit

Suddenly, he heard the heavy sound of the bell, which came from behind Su Ge, at the middle position of the ship

Because in the middle, there is a magnificent staircase of ice blue leading to the top

As soon as the words were spoken, the spear rapidly shrank, transforming in the blink of an eye into a silver-gray twisted cane approximately 1.2 meters in length

Here, Su Ge leaped down, holding the spear, and accurately jumped onto the throne

There are still a pair of statues on both sides of every four steps

The great bell continues to emit a deep sound, yet nothing strikes it

One is wearing cloth armor and holding a staff; another is dressed in a strange long robe and wielding a scythe; one is bare-chested, holding a skull; and the last is a humanoid figure engulfed in flames

Knock knock knock

At the highest point above, there is a massive throne

It should have been numbed by the pressure, Su Ge thought to himself as he lowered his head to look down

The husky, which had been lying nearby, stood up, bouncing around energetically while wagging its tail at Su Ge.

The volume of the ship is extremely large, measuring at least fifty meters in length, resembling a sailing ship from the Age of Exploration. However, at this moment, the entire vessel is encased in eerie white ice.

The steps are divided into three stages

At this moment, the sound of the bell becomes deeper and more resonant, as if this sound could spread throughout the entire world without fading away

Although Ada has good mental strength, she has not slept well for three days and is also very fatigued

Through the ice, Su Ge could see that this dilapidated ship was in a state of great disrepair. The wooden deck and the hull were riddled with holes left by the passage of time, and the three towering masts stood empty, devoid of sails

However, these statues no longer resemble statues, but rather look like real people

These statues are more exquisite and sophisticated, as they not only wear more refined armor but also have capes billowing behind them, with various forms of galloping wolf mounts beneath their waists

The sound of the bell grew louder, and countless icy blue chills howled in, burying this place.

This staircase is of exquisite quality, entirely in ice blue adorned with mysterious runes, complex and profound

Hoo hoo hoo ... ... Aow wuwu ... ...

The first stage is the longest, with a total of 24 steps.

The internal structure of the temple is quite simple; although the altar, the deity statues, and the offerings are not visible, it still imparts a sense of oppressive solemnity

After having dinner, the two individuals engaged in a brief conversation before going to sleep

However, he felt that his left arm was somewhat heavy

Sugumuran glanced at the strange structure, then took a step forward, ascending the stairs as he walked ahead

In the next moment, it began to rain from the sky; however, when it appeared in Su Ge's field of vision, it transformed into snowflakes

It is noteworthy that the weapons of these eight knights in the relief are all different

The dressing table that once existed, along with some other items, was given to Ada by Sugg.

In that fleeting moment, Su Ge's eyes narrowed sharply.

She slightly turned her head to look at the tip of the long spear, where there were beautiful and exquisite patterns of whirlwinds and lightning.

These snowstorms resemble a whirlwind, enveloping the entire battleship, obscuring the surrounding scenery.

The temple occupied a vast area of the battleship, and it took Su Ge only a few steps to reach the entrance of the temple

Knock knock knock

In the cold temple, only a pair of ice-blue eyes flashed by, and then tranquility was restored

The link between the mast and the hull is in a state of disrepair, appearing quite chaotic.

Kaka... ...

The cold wind blows stronger, and the sky is filled with flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder, as if a storm is about to arrive

The deep and resonant sound of the bell continues to emanate from the temple

To stretch his body, Su Ge slowly sat up

At this moment, Su Ge appeared as if under a spell, his eyes flickering with an eerie blue light, and he walked into the temple in a dazed manner

Countless spirits are carved above, along with galloping wolf packs, armored knights, racing skeletal warhorses, and at the forefront stands a king, masked and wielding a spear, riding a giant wolf

What is this place?" Su Ge furrowed his brows and looked around.

respectively, great sword, halberd, giant axe, bow and arrow, crossbow, hammer, machete, gauntlets

At the end of this stretch is the final three meters of ground, above which are the steps of the third stage, totaling eight levels

Turning around, I discovered that the middle section of this ship actually housed a temple

Hello!

The sound emanates from there

Suge weighed the spear in his hands and found that it was not too heavy; with his physique, he could easily lift it.

Suge stood silently for a moment, then moved to the left side of the large clock and reached out to grasp the silver spear.

Uncertain whether it is a dream or an illusion, Su Ge heard the sound of howling wind and piercing wolf howls in his sleep

When Su Ge opened his eyes, he unexpectedly found himself standing on a ship

Looking up, the structure of the temple is divided into three tiers, forming a trapezoidal pyramid shape, with each layer smaller than the one below it

This spear is approximately 2 meters long, having penetrated from the top left side of the large bell and emerging diagonally from the bottom right side, as if the person who threw this spear intended to pierce through the bell itself

A silver spear is inserted into the body of the pitch-black clock

In the moment of grasping, the terrifying cold ice spread from Su Ge's hand to the silver spear

What a strange dream, and yet so real. At this moment, Su Ge clearly remembered every detail of the entire dream.
