She originally thought that, as the Twilight Saintess who ended the previous era, Vivian’s tomb should be in a remote wilderness, becoming a legendary place spoken of by adventurers and rcenaries. But she never imagined it would stand openly in Bambul City, and be built so magnificently.
"This was built by the Daylight Church," Isabella sighed and said.
"Huh? Why?" Alice was sowhat puzzled, "Shouldn’t they be enemies?"
Isabella mocked, "Don’t tell you think this batch of the church is the sa as those before the Twilight of the Gods? They don’t have any real heritage; they just accepted the instructions from the Gods and re-established the church. To make believers trust them, apart from necessary oracles, a powerful enemy is indispensable. Vivian is that enemy; they need Vivian’s existence to demonstrate their legitimacy but don’t want Vivian’s deeds to encourage the people to resist."
Therefore, they built a luxurious tomb for Vivian, propagated her deeds, yet they also edited Vivian’s stories.
"Gosh... Didn’t they say Claude’s tomb is next to it?" Alice looked around but couldn’t find any other tombs.
"Oh, that small heap under the tree over there," Isabella pointed alongside the road.
"??? Huh???" Alice looked at the little mound not even knee-high, completely bewildered.
"A simple marker is enough; after all, he’s an enemy," Isabella said, "These two tombs were actually quickly constructed by the Twilight Council back then. After Twilight City was conquered, the church alliance toppled Claude’s tomb and rebuilt Vivian’s tomb."
"That’s too much! Do they really need to distinguish like this?" Alice felt indignant for Shen Sui.
"Actually, it’s not too bad," Isabella recalled sothing and chuckled, "Otherwise, with the church’s slander against Claude over these years, if his tomb were well known, I’m afraid many would co to spit on it."
Uh...
Shen Sui, who had just opened the Dueling Device, didn’t know whether to laugh or curse at this.
The feeling was very subtle.
But since they were here, why not open a box before leaving.
Shen Sui opened the input box and sent a command to Alice.
Alice, upon receiving the command, was visibly stunned, attracting Isabella’s attention: "What’s wrong, Alice?"
Isabella knew about Shen Sui, so Alice didn’t hide it from her and said, "Claude says he has a treasure box in Twilight City, and since we’re here, we should open it."
"Oh, you an Claude’s treasure box," Isabella thought for a mont and said, "He seems to have three treasure boxes in Twilight City."
"It’s five," Alice corrected.
Isabella was stunned; having co to Bambul City over a thousand tis in her life, how could she not know there were other Claude’s treasure boxes here?
However, a thousand years have passed, and Shen Sui’s rembered coordinates had long been destroyed in the war a millennium ago.
But Shen Sui’s treasure boxes have the characteristic of being indestructible, a chanism of the ga, and logically should not have been destroyed by the war.
Isabella calculated that the locations of the known three treasure boxes were all confird, with two displayed as tourist attractions and one inside the Daylight Church in Bambul City.
"You an... the remaining two are in the mining tunnels of Twilight City?"
"Yes. Claude says one box is placed at the entrance of the underground tunnels, used before mining to store extra items, though it’s filled with all sorts of strange things nowadays. Another one is beside the underground lake at the tunnels’ bottom, where Claude created it while fishing..."
"Why would there be fish in an underground lake?" Isabella’s lips twitched, "This guy can really fish anywhere."
Alice awkwardly smiled, as she’d already seen such things; Claude had even placed treasure boxes in the sewage.
"Speaking of fishing treasure boxes, after looking around here, co with to my castle; I have another of Claude’s treasure boxes to open there," Isabella rembered sothing and said to Alice.
"Huh?"
Isabella bitterly smiled, "It’s another of Claude’s fishing treasure boxes."
"Isabella, sis, you have a lake at ho?"
"No... unless my understanding is wrong, that should be a blood pool..." Isabella recalled this, her expression turning bizarre.
Fishing in a vampire’s blood pool, such things only Shen Sui could do.
The most critical point is, he truly fished sothing out, even though it was just an ordinary fish, Isabella was still startled enough to drain the blood pool dry for a thorough check.
When Shen Sui fished out a fish from the blood pool, Isabella was entirely dumbstruck.
"As for the mining tunnels in Twilight City you ntioned..." Isabella reminisced a bit and then looked suspiciously at the tomb in front of her, "If I rember correctly, the Twilight Council once used the tunnels as their tomb... Huh? What are you doing with a shovel?"
Surprised, Isabella looked at the shovel in Alice’s hand.
"Digging up the tomb," Alice replied as if it were the most obvious thing.
"Isn’t that too much?"
Alice blinked innocently at Isabella.
