Chapter 658 Headless Statue

Under the huge shadow of the city wall, two figures shrouded under the burqa slowly walked towards the old city area in the city.

The night guards stationed by the city gate stepped forward to intercept, but the figure took out a family emblem engraved with an abstract spider from his black robe, and the guard immediately retreated back to his post, everything was left unspeakable.

These two people are naturally Elise and Geno. Elise asked Geno to follow her back to the Kissilla family's mansion, which is her mother's home. But after hundreds of years of operation, the Kissilla family and the Zaafan family are no longer separated, and her spider webs are spread throughout the immortal fortress.

A full moon was reflected on the irregular cobblestone road, like a group of eyes staring silently. The houses on both sides of the street were made of stones, and the exquisite craftsmanship might have been written by a war stonemason.

As he deepened, Geno could feel that the walls on both sides became higher and more oppressive. It seemed that they were falling every step, as if they were about to walk into the ground of the immortal fortress like this.

The streets were filled with terrifying silence, without the hawkers on the streets, without the crows passing by, and without the snoring of drunkards on the streets, and the noisy streets outside the walls seemed to be two different worlds.

Moreover, there are pitifully few lights here, with no lanterns that mark the boundaries or candles in the upper windows. Although the candlelight is to guide the courtiers at night to show good deeds. Only the lonely moonlight shines on them, now the only light is leaving them.

"How long will we go?" Geno broke the silence.

"It will take half an hour to walk." Elise estimated the total number of roads and came up with this result.

The road planning of the Immortal Fortress is very poor, not as straight and open as Picheng, with all the roads leading to Rome. It consists of many winding alleys and bridges not on the same level. If the road network under the ground is included, it will be even more complicated.

Today's immortal fortress was slowly expanded from a captured ancient city. New bricks and old tiles have accumulated over hundreds of years, so the road here is three-dimensional and tortuous, like a 3D maze.

"Then why did you come so quickly?" Geno asked back.

He remembered that he had slept for less than an hour, and Elise sat in his room. If he had been on the road for more than half an hour, it would have been impossible for the other party to come so quickly because he saw Elise put on makeup.

"Did you forget I'm a spider? I've climbed over the roof and can avoid many detours." Elise looked back at Geno with interest.

Normal people can't let go after looking at her spider legs, but Geno doesn't care and doesn't mind the four terrifying things behind her at all.

"No wonder... straight-line distance and actual distance are two concepts." Elise's words reminded Geno of the fear of being dominated by mobile phone navigation. It took an hour to complete the ten-minute journey.

In a corner, Geno saw an armor statue, more than two meters high, full of majestic terrifying and oppressive feeling, but his head was smashed. It was cast from a pig iron hammer and looked like a headless warrior, wearing plate armor and holding a mace hammer.

Geno felt an inexplicable sound coming from the cavity of the statue tempting him, as if he could immediately gain power when he touched the statue. This seemed to be a kind of spiritual magic. If he had not had the super self-control to ignore all control, he would have stretched his hand in the blink of an eye.

"Elis, do you feel the inexplicable power on this statue?"

"I didn't notice anything. Is there anything strange about this statue? There were thousands of identical statues in the old town, all of which were smashed off their faces. It was as sparse and ordinary as a signpost to the residents of the Immortal Fortress."

Geno's problem made Elise feel puzzled. She didn't feel any unusual smell from the statue.

In fact, outsiders who have just arrived at the Immortal Fortress will feel that the Noxus living here are too nervous about some strange phenomena.

For example, everyone turned a blind eye to the dark magic shining on the three huge monoliths in the center of the Immortal Fortress, and was indifferent to the strange headless statues scattered all over the city.

"If this statue is complete, it is carved with the original founder of the Immortal Fortress?" said Geno.

"Yes, no one in Noxus can admit his mistake, because every history book will inevitably mention that the empire was established on the demise of this warlord."

"Why did you smash the head of the statue? Does this affect anyone's interests?" Geno knew who the armor represented, but he couldn't say that name.

That name can only be pronounced in Ou Chen's language, and Ou Chen's language has inexplicable power, similar to the spirit of words. Once it is said, it will inevitably cause something to happen, either in this world or in another world.

"I don't know, I just know that this is made by the Black Rose, which was long before I joined the Black Rose." Elise shook her head, her eyes not staying on the statue too much.

These statues existed much longer than the time when Elise was born, and like the legend of the Black Rose, they were circulated in the immortal fortress early on.

"Okay." Geno nodded and continued to follow Elise.

After walking for about half an hour, Geno saw that spiders appeared in the dark corners more frequently, which showed that Elise's nest was getting closer and closer.

"Are you going to bring me into the ground of the Immortal Fortress? I heard that you built a palace that belongs to you underground?"

"The so-called palace is just a place for brainwashing. I have placed believers of the Spider God there, but there is no one there now. We have arrived. This is a mansion under the name of the Zafan family, but there is no need to be so clear, it is all mine anyway."

Elliri led Geno through a dilapidated door made of silver-brown tree-dried wood, and walked into an old mansion.

The mansions within the high walls were made of pale stone, which he had never seen before, but were not monolithic. This was the case with many large Noxus buildings.

The architectural style of the house is relatively old, at least for hundreds of years, and many places are covered with dust.

They passed through the withered garden. The fountains in the garden had dried up for hundreds of years and had been covered with layers of dilapidated cotton-like spider webs. Among them, the black spots like cotton seeds were actually dormant spiders.

"Wait! You'll arrange for me to live in this kind of shabby haunted house full of spiders?"
