Chapter 557 Night Temple (1/2)
Cassie chose her next words carefully:
"Despite the fact that the Hollow Mountains were designated as a Death Zone, it see theht Temple exists, and why a Saint is stationed there"
Sunny frowned Even Kai and Effie seeht Sky Tide was the only Saint on the Chained Isles"
The blind girl shook her head
"No, there is another Saint Cormac He oversees the Citadel and ventures into the h searching for so In fact, that was hoas able to receive perht Tee, I was meant to useht for a bit, then said:
"So far, everything sounds reasonable?"
Cassie nodded, then shi+fted uncomfortably
"Yeah But there are just tooto do with the Saint and his mission For one, there are just too many Awakened there — around a hundred, I think That is much more than is needed to support one Saint However, the most eerie part is not their number, but who those Awakened are"

She hesitated, then said somberly:
"With the exception of two Masters who serve as Saint Cormac's lieutenants, all of them are… Lost"
Sunny perked up
What Cassie had told the There weren't thatthe Awakened, so ould a hundred of theether in a remote and isolated Citadel?
But that wasn't the reason why Sunny was suddenly excited Leaning forward a bit, he asked:
"Oh, yeah? Is there one called Mordret?"
Cassie thought for a few moments, then shook her head
"I don't know We weren't really allowed to interact with the Lost while living in the Night Temple You see, the whole Citadel is separated into three areas The outward ring is where ere given a space to establish a base We were forbidden fro the temple itself, unless escorted by one of the Masters That is where the Lost live and the Gateway is situated"
She suddenly fell silent, and then added in a darker tone:
"But there is another area inside the temple, too One that even the Lost aren't allowed to enter The Inner Sanctu the Gateway, I felt the doors of the Sanctu it"
The blind girl shi+vered
"Or at least, they seemed like people But they weren't They were all Echoes… human Echoes"
Sunny scowled
'What the hell?'
One huuarding that actual humans couldn't?
No… that wasn't important Clan Valor could keep its secrets He just needed to get the knife from the altar
"So… what about an altar? Have you perceived an ivory knife lying on it?"
Cassie lingered for a few ht Temple is different from the one in the Sanctuary You don't need to touch the altar to activate it So I've only felt the altar from afar… it is indeed cut from a slab of black stone, from what others tolda star and a bolt of lightning behind it Other than that, I can't say"
