Chapter 2290 Exploring the ruins

"The source of sin."

Under Sally's slightly puzzled gaze, Rhodes slowly said a word that was unfamiliar to her.

"It is said that that was the power that the Stigmata once had. Someone imitated this power, and with the death of that person, the source of sin was left in the treasure house in the cloud. While my body was sleeping, the sin was The source came to me."

In Sally's confused eyes, Rod explained.

"The Burning Domain on my body comes from the source of sin... there are many unique powers and even domains that can be obtained."

Sally nodded. Rhodes' answer made her happy. This joy was not because she knew the secret about the source of sin, but because she felt Rhodes' trust in her.

She knew that if Rhodes was before the influence of King Lust, he would never tell her these things. The King of Lust also changed Rhode's attitude towards her invisibly.

Although Rhodes didn't notice it herself and still had a lot of defenses in her heart, she laughed when she discovered this. Those unique eyes were the best proof.

"Tell me about this ruins." Rhodes stepped forward slowly, came to where Sally was standing, and asked her, "How long have you been here? Is there anything hindering your exploration?"

"It's not an obstacle, it can only be said to be a bit troublesome." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the darkness ahead, but Rhodes could see it clearly, "The Shadow Cult had already declined when I was born. This is the origin of the Shadow Cult. The land was sealed with a divine seal by the angels.”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Rhodes with interest: "Not long ago, the seal that existed here failed. According to the investigation of other members of the Thieves Guild, it is speculated that something happened in Yunzhong City. The long-lost Saint The Marked One performed miracles in Erathia, and the seal here was loosened."

Under the leadership of Sally, Rhodes slowly stepped forward and soon saw the seal in her mouth.

Under the shadow realm, the still dazzling golden chains blocked the way forward. From the chains, Rhodes could feel a familiar power. It was a sacred spell belonging to angels, which could easily dispel the energy of death, but Now, these chains have completely broken from the middle and have lost the power of sealing.

After crossing the chain, Rhodes stepped into the ruins. Soon, he noticed something unusual.

"This is not your darkness." Rhode said slowly, staring at the dark hall ahead.

"Have you discovered it? I also want to remind you." Sally said with a smile, "This is the place with the strongest shadow energy on the entire continent. Before the Shadow Cult weakened, they studied shadow energy here. I believe There is another world in the darkness that no one can see, and this is also the doctrine they believe in."

Rhodes looked around, and everything behind the seal was shrouded in a layer of darkness. This darkness was very similar to the darkness in Sally's field, and was the result of shadow energy.

Fortunately, the level of darkness in front of him did not faze Rhodes. Those scarlet eyes originating from heroes could see through the deepest darkness in the world. Naturally, Sally on the side would not be affected by this darkness.

"That's the Shadow Palace. Since the angel sealed this place, no one has been here except me." Sally introduced Rhodes to the majestic building in the dark.

"Did you find anything here? Are you interested in the treasures left by the members of the Shadow Cult?" After entering the Shadow Hall, Rhodes asked her while looking at the nearby sculptures. If Rhodes saw it right, In other words, those are all sculptures of demons, and they look hideous and terrifying.

What puzzled Rhodes was that Sally had previously ignored the artifacts on her body. The reason that attracted her to explore the ruins of the Shadow Cult could not be the treasures left by those members. As for the information related to the artifacts, , judging from her reaction, she seemed to be dismissive of it, but Rhodes was deeply attracted by this.

"What exactly attracted you to come here?" Rhodes asked.

Seeing Rhodes asking about this, Sally had no intention of hiding it and whispered: "According to the Book of Silence, the Shadow Cult has extremely detailed research on shadow energy, and even those mages cannot reach their level. If I can get the secret method of the Shadow Cult, maybe I can remove the influence of the Shadow Realm on me."

Rhodes glanced at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she came here to get rid of the darkness around her. Her control of the field was not yet able to be freely expanded, and there was still a certain gap between her and those ancient legendary peaks. .

"Fortunately, you came back to me, now I don't have to do this." She smiled as if she had thought of something.

Rhodes waved his hand: "I'm just here to explore the news about the artifact, I have no other ideas."

She snorted lightly and said no more. Under the leadership of Sally, the two soon arrived at a library filled with classics.

"Thanks to the angel's seal, these classics can be well preserved. Otherwise, let alone being stored for so long, just a few decades would be enough to erode the records on them. In a sense, I have to thank Those angels, if they hadn’t sealed this place, these books would not have survived.”

As Sally said this, she took out a tome and threw it towards Rhodes.

Rhodes took the book. There was no theme on the title page of the book. He flipped through a few pages and found that all the information recorded on it was the information of the Erathian nobles, from the military strength in the territory to unknown dirty things. , there are relevant records on it.

"What's written on it?" Sally asked curiously.

"Information about those nobles." Rhodes threw the classics aside. "Unfortunately, that information was from a long time ago. If it were from this era, it might still be of some use."

"Do you want information about the nobility of this era?" Sally asked with interest, "The Thieves Guild will definitely be able to meet your requirements, as long as you..."

"I'm just giving you an example." Rhode interrupted her and glanced around. There were hundreds of books here, and it would probably take a lot of time to fully sort out the useful information.

Different from the ruins exploration that Rhodes expected, he did not encounter any danger here. Instead, there were a lot of classics waiting for him to browse, but for some reason, Rhodes always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
