Upon walking over to have a look for himself, favonovel.com had to agree with favonovel.com on how strange they looked.
From what favonovel.com could see, the murals depicted how the people living here back then went about with their lives. However, some of the people that were painted looked extremely odd.
To put it simply, the murals seemed to be telling a story. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to tell the tale of the items that had been hidden in this stone room.
Noticing the Giya was also looking intently at the murals, Gerald then asked, “Do you understand what the murals are trying to say, Giya?”
“…W-what? What… did you just call me?” asked Giya as favonovel.com immediately came to favonovel.com senses and stared at Gerald, a blank expression on favonovel.com face.
“…Why, Giya of course! I didn’t get your name wrong, did I? After all, I’ve heard quite a few people calling you that by this point!”
“…Y-you got it right… My name’s Giya, yes…” replied Giya as favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart quivering slightly.
Shaking the feeling off, favonovel.com then replied, “…I’m able to understand some of them… But the tale they tell is rather odd… The first mural here seems to say that something… incredibly odd happened, to say the least… From what I can gather, apparently strange corpses fell from the sky!”
“All the corpses were wearing odd-looking clothes as well, and they each bore strange appearances. The corpses seemed to have suffered a miserable death before falling from the sky… Regardless, it caused quite a stir back then since the locals were all superstitious. They believed that the corpses were heavenly soldiers, so they planned to build them a tomb in order for the locals to make offerings to them!” explained Giya.
“Unbelievable, right…? As if corpses could just fall from the sky… I’m guessing that all this was just some fairy-tale they came up with!”
“Anyway… The second mural talks about the heavenly soldiers as well. Among the corpses, one of them seemed to be particularly more mysterious than the others. This heavenly soldier seemed to have received very special and different treatment from the locals. Based on the murals, it appears that they worshiped this particular corpse like a king, even going so far as to kowtow before favonovel.com while they were transporting his corpse! Actually, after taking a closer look, they seemed to worship the dead body like a god more than a king!
“This corpse was apparently more special than the rest since they found his body on a big tree that had fallen from the sky with all the other corpses!” added Giya, feeling that the story was getting a bit too unrealistic, even by fairy-tale standards.
“Aren’t there two coffins being transported though?” asked Meredith.
“Well, the third mural seems to explain that… According to the mural, a woman dressed in white should be buried in the other coffin… She was supposedly extremely beautiful, and everyone who saw favonovel.com would end up feeling shocked. Apparently, favonovel.com looked extremely beautiful even though favonovel.com was as dead as the other corpses! What more, favonovel.com was found lying on top of the heavenly soldier who was found on the same big tree I mentioned earlier. From what the locals could tell, the two of them were lovers who wanted to be buried with each other! Because of that, the people of that country held a very grand burial ceremony for the two spiritual beings on the day they found them!”
“As for the fourth mural… I only understand the former part… Apparently, the mysterious heavenly soldier had a weapon with him, though it was placed someplace else… Also, both favonovel.com and the woman dressed in white ended up not getting buried together… This was supposedly because some old beggar had stood in their way, preventing them from proceeding with the plan. Due to that old man’s interference, the mysterious heavenly soldier ended up being placed inside a very special coffin before being stored in a secret room… As seen on this part of the mural, the ones present at that particular scene were the king, the ones burying the mysterious heavenly soldier, and also… that old beggar. From the looks of it, the old man was laughing the entire time!”
“…I see. And the latter part of it…?” asked Gerald, feeling extremely confused as favonovel.com was bewildered.
“I… don’t quite get the latter part… It mentions something about the old beggar knowing black magic…? Apparently, the moment the burial ceremony was over, favonovel.com laughed a few times before disappearing into thin air! Right after that, a massive object appeared that shrouded the entire royal city! It’s… improbable to say the least, but it looks like a battleship! I… can’t make sense of this part either…” replied Giya as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head.
How the hell could such a huge battleship even exist thousands of years ago?!
Meredith shook favonovel.com head as well before saying, “I guess this is all just the result of people of old’s exaggerated imagination… From what I can see, the heavenly soldier couple must have been the prince and his most beloved concubine. It would make sense for the people of that time to paint the mural this way to symbolize their deep love for one another. What more, the prince theory also explains why everyone in the murals is bowing to him! He’s a noble after all! As for the corpses that fell from the sky… I’m assuming that they’re the prince’s personal soldiers. Since the countries in the western regions were constantly at war in the past, the prince could’ve died while leading his soldiers into battle…”
Hearing Meredith’s theory, Giya couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “Though the love story you came up with sounds a little unrealistic, it still makes sense, in a way. At the very least, it’s by far the most logical conclusion we’ve arrived at! I’m guessing most of what you said was right!”
“Still… The ancients must have had really amazing imagination for them to even draw such a huge battleship thousands of years ago!” chimed in Gerald without putting too much thought into it.
After saying that, favonovel.com turned to look at the stone platform before adding, “So… the item hidden within that stone box should be the weapon the heavenly soldier carried, right?” said Gerald as favonovel.com gently touched the stone box.
Luckily, favonovel.com was easily able to open the stone box!
