Temple of Rhun

The giant snake statue looked down at Lind like a behemoth examining the ants under its feet.

Because the details of the statue were so realistic that the lines of every scale on the snake's body could be clearly seen, Lind even felt that the statue in front of him was not a statue but a living creature.

"This isn't a snake," Alisha said, pointing out the mistake in Lind's words. "This is the dragon's primogenitor. Look at the horns on its head. They're about to break through its skin."

Lind looked in the direction Alisha was pointing. There was indeed an extremely obvious triangular protrusion on the forehead of the giant snake statue.

Alisha looked at the giant snake statue. Her eyes seemed to be filled with excitement. She took Lind's hand and said excitedly.

"Mr. Ander, we've found the legendary Temple of Rhun. This is the birthplace of the Dragon God."

The Temple of Rhun, the birthplace of the Dragon God.

Lind searched his memory for the term, but unfortunately, the original body had no memory of it.

Looking at Lind's dumbfounded expression, Alisha sheepishly hid her excitement.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ander. I forgot that you're not a member of the Tulip royal family," Alisha explained to the confused Lind. "The Temple of Rhun is related to the origin of our family. Legend has it that our family had been the ruler of this land before the Church of Light existed. In ancient times, the god we believed in was not the God of Light, but the ancient Dragon God. Our family's surname was derived from the Dragon God's name, Pandoragon.

"However, I don't know when it started, but our family became a believer of the God of Light. There's no record about the Dragon God in the history books anymore. In the current history of our family, our family has been a devout believer of the God of Light from the beginning. It's as if someone has tampered with our family's memories and modified our family's history."

"If your memories have been tampered with and your history altered, how do you still know these things?" Lind asked curiously.

"Although the Church of Light can rewrite the contents of the history books, our family's ancient bloodline will not forget. Some people in the family will feel the summoning of our ancestors when they reach a certain age and awaken a portion of their ancestral memories. However, this portion of memories is only a few fragments. If you want to completely unlock the memories, you have to go to the legendary Temple of Rhun and undergo a baptism at the birthplace of the Dragon God. Only then will you know the truth of our family."

Alisha lowered her head. "I always thought the Temple of Rhun was just a legend. My father told me about these things when I was a child. I always thought it was a story my father made up. I didn't think the Temple of Rhun really existed."

Upon hearing this, Lind more or less understood what was going on.

Why did Alisha's father, instead of enjoying his life as the emperor, come to Blackwater Town for no reason? There was no doubt that Alisha's father was one of the people who awakened ancestral memories.

Moreover, judging from Alisha's words, Alisha's father must have awakened his memories long ago.

However, as the emperor of the Tulip Empire, he was being watched by the Church of Light. He never dared to tell others such things. He could only tell it to his daughter, Alisha, like telling a story.

However, as the days passed, the emperor could no longer bear the memories in his mind.

Hence, he planned to come to Blackwater Town to find out the truth.

He had come to Blackwater Town for the sake of the Temple of Rhun.

"Since your father has awakened his ancestral memories, he should be here for the Temple of Rhun. If nothing goes wrong, he's still in the temple," Lind said to Alisha.

It was obvious that Alisha had also realized that.

She quickly stood up and shouted into the hall, "Father, are you here? I'm Alisha."

Her voice echoed in the empty hall, but no one responded.

She shouted a few times until her throat was a little hoarse, but she still did not see that familiar face.

Alisha could not help but look a little disappointed. Could it be that despite her searching for so long, her father was not here?

Faced with this situation, Lind closed his eyes and felt the faint fluctuations in the air.

Blood Magic—Bloodthirsty Rhythm!

The ability of this Blood Magic was to capture the heartbeats of the surrounding prey and amplify the sound before transmitting it back to Lind's ears. This was a detection-type Blood Magic. Once cast, any prey with a heartbeat would be exposed to Lind.

Lind quickly found the rhythmic sounds in the darkness.

Found it!

He was pleasantly surprised.

However, in the next second, several sounds of heartbeat came from all directions.

It was not just one heartbeat, but at least seven or eight!

Moreover, these heartbeats were very weak, like candles in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment!

"I found it!" Lind said to Alisha. "Come with me!"

With that, he ran into the temple.

Although Alisha didn't understand how Lind did it, she didn't hesitate and immediately followed behind Lind.

As an agile assassin, she easily caught up to Lind.

Lind followed the sounds of the heartbeat and walked straight ahead. Soon he saw a huge tunnel leading underground.

And the heartbeat that Lind had just heard was coming from the bottom of the tunnel!

However, the problem in front of them was that the tunnel in front of them seemed to be bottomless, and there were no stairs.

Lind knew the reason.

Since this Temple of Rhun was the birthplace of the Dragon God, the facilities inside were clearly not designed for humans.

Its size was for dragons.

That explained why the temple was so large. And the tunnel before them was clearly not prepared for humans, but for dragons.

Since dragons could fly, there was naturally no need for stairs.

This made things difficult for Lind and Alisha. How were they going to get down into such a deep cave without a ladder?

"Are you sure my father's down here, Mr. Ander?" Alisha looked at Lind as if for confirmation.

At this moment, Lind didn't dare to promise anything. Although he sensed heartbeat, he couldn't guarantee that it was Alisha's father's.

Moreover, Lind felt that something was amiss.

If Lind and his companion couldn't go down this passageway, then how did Alisha's father go down?

What concerned Lind even more was that he had heard more than one heartbeat. There were almost seven or eight of them.

If it was Alisha's father, there should only be one heartbeat.

There were so many more heartbeats. Whose were they?
