Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1868: The Sun Wheel (72)
Chapter 1868 Shining on the Sun Wheel (Seventy-two)
Meanwhile(?), somewhere in Africa, in the tomb of Pharaoh Menes. ≈
Boom!
With the last wave of explosions, the rubble that blocked the road ahead was shattered by high-frequency sonic booms, and they slowly slipped like quicksand, revealing a finally passable road in front of Bedivere and others.
"Cough cough...Finally!" The werewolf youth waved away the dust flying everywhere, coughing and complaining: "I thought I would dig in this **** ancient tomb for the rest of my life. !"
"Isn't it only half an hour?" said Academician Zuster, who followed behind Bedivere. "That's how excavations work. Be patient. You haven't seen the worst yet."
What exactly counts as the worst, is it going to take days or months? Bedivere didn't ask, because he was a little impetuous and didn't bother to ask such a question.
As the rubble was cleared away, the passage in front was opened again, and the condition of a large area in front could finally be seen. However, it is also strange, why is the part of the corridor collapsed and blocked due to the change of the bottom shell, but the wider space in front is not damaged at all?
"I know what you're thinking, Mr. Bedivere." Academician Zuster had already guessed the doubts in the young werewolf's mind, and explained first: "An ancient building like the Pyramid of Menes, a large area It is usually supplemented with the space expansion technology of the subspace, which expands the space and also forms a protective energy field in that area. As a result, it is not easy to protect the area with this energy field. It collapsed under the influence of crustal changes, and the common corridor connection area is more prone to collapse because it is not protected by the energy field."
"I see." Bedivere replied thoughtfully. Having said that, when they first entered this pyramid, they have been operating in the area that has been supplemented by the warp. It is no wonder that the nearby rooms are all well preserved, and there is no sign of collapse.
Bedivere doesn't know how many floors they've gone deep into the ground now, and he's given up after counting a few. He only knew that the excavation just now was to use the high-frequency sonic boom devices of the spherical golems to blast the rubble blocking the road, so that while clearing the road, it extended diagonally downward, passing a long passage or corridor-like structure, They finally came to this relatively large hall.
This place should have gone deep into the ground. Affected by the crustal activities over the years, although the function of the subspace of this hall is still complete, and it is still maintained at the point where it does not collapse, the lighting has become very poor. The shimmering magic incantations on the surrounding ceilings and walls seemed to be its only means of illumination, and the ruby sconces on the walls were no longer working, completely extinguished.
"Be careful, everyone, there may be traps in this hall." Bedivere then took out the Black Moon God Steel Scimitar from his waist, smeared it with flame resin, and used it like a torch.
Although he said so, judging from the dilapidation of this hall, the chances of a functioning murder trap hidden in it are actually not high.
"Boss, you should look at this." Big Lawrence tugged at Bedivere's shirt at this time.
"What?" The werewolf youth looked at the situation.
There is a mural on the wall in the direction the Big Lawrence pointed. Under the firelight, the gold on the frescoes and the dark gray of the walls form a very sharp contrast, making the frescoes more conspicuous.
Bediver initially thought it was a special texture of the magic spells on the walls, or some kind of purely decorative mural. But when he looked closely, he realized that the so-called murals were actually narrative comic strips, and the simple-style pictures had a unique sense of sophistication.
The first picture is of a king-like figure, whose status can be seen from the crown and scepter he carries. He was looking into the distance. In the distance, there seemed to be an island among the ripples of the ocean. The background of the island was the picture of the rising sun.
"The first king of Egypt, Menes, possesses endless power and treasure." Academician Zuster said suddenly. Bedivere thought Zuster was telling a story, but he soon realized that the academician was actually chanting to the cuneiform writing below the fresco. Those words that Bedivere couldn't understand were probably only understood by the scholars of the Myerson Brotherhood.
"However, the great king has everything, but only one thing, which cannot be preserved." Academician Zuster continued to translate.
"This thing is life itself."
People grow old, and one day they will grow old and die. Since ancient times, no matter how famous the princes and generals were, they could not escape the clutches of the **** of death.
Bediver frowned and turned to look at the second image that followed.
The second picture shows the pharaoh sitting on his throne, hiding his troubled face. Although the frescoes did not depict the specific appearance of Menes, only the outline of the king was depicted with extremely simple strokes, but it should not be difficult for observers to see that Menes at this time should have entered his twilight years.
Beside the pharaoh's throne, a woman's shape stands out. The lower part of the woman's body was a tail with a snake's eyes, and her face was painted so beautifully that she seemed to be saying something to the Pharaoh.
"The king who fears death, obeying the words of those who come, learns that there is a way of immortality and deceives time." Zuster continued to translate.
"The Descendants?" Big Lawrence couldn't help but wonder.
"Shh!" Bedivere interrupted Lawrence, shutting him up so that Academician Zuster could concentrate on the translation.
At this time, the academician has turned his attention to the third mural.
In the third fresco, the pharaoh sits in his treasure pile with several gems in one hand and a book in the other. He may have found a way to immortalize himself, but his twilight appearance is still the same, and his troubles are still the same.
"Traveling all over the world. The king found treasure. The king learned of the existence of the law of immortality, and he knew that he was the descendant of the ancient gods. However, the ancient gods could not avoid death, so what could the king do?"
[The Decay of the Soul]------Bediver knew about this for a long time, and naturally connected everything. The ancient gods traveled through the old universe and came to the new universe. With immortality, they thought they could live forever, but they didn't know that [the decay of the soul] broke the beautiful dream of the ancient gods. **The ancient god-human race that will never die, but died because of the constant decay of their souls. Many people suddenly fell to the ground and will never get up again.
Pharaoh Menes may have found a way to make his physique close to the "undead" of the ancient gods, but he knew that he could not escape [the decay of the soul]. He will die one day, just like the ancient gods at that time.
No one can escape death except...
"[The ancient gods that exist forever]------a relic from the deep sea era." At this time, Academician Zuster had already moved his gaze to the next mural and said.
The painting style of the fourth mural suddenly changed from a simple and delicate style to a complex and rough style.
There are no other characters in the painting, just a monster.
A monster that resembles an octopus that has been covered in its forehead. The beard of that thing is the tentacles of the octopus, and its bizarre body makes people unable to look directly. The outline is somewhat similar to that of a deformed human being, extremely rough and covered with scales. Bedivere was surprised that a gilded fresco could show such fine scales. In addition, the monster's large annular mouth with countless fangs, strange bat-like wings on its back, and a long and thick tail full of thorns, all of which are Shows that it is not a creature on Earth.
"The sleeping ancient god...devoured...everything...killed...." Academician Zuster was intermittent, struggling translate. However, the cuneiform writing in this part has become extremely illegible due to years of weathering and erosion.
"They...create everything...but don't care about everything..."
"They have, the secret to true immortality .
Just translating to this point, Eric, the counselor next to him, was suddenly moved.
"You're right?" Eric, who had always been calm, asked excitedly, "Why? It's here that you mention [The Reason]?!"
Academician Zuster did not directly answer Eric's question, but shrugged. He just translated it according to the cuneiform script, and he didn't know much else.
"Please continue, Academician Zuster," Bedivere said. He has no interest in the theory beyond the strings, and just wants to know how this series of murals was developed later. What kind of existence the ancient **** is, really makes the werewolf youth care.
"Well...Wang revealed the secret. A conspiracy~IndoMTL.com~Zuster turned his attention to the next mural and continued to translate: "Wang knows that if he continues to pursue immortality, Maybe he can get it, but he will lose everything because of it. "
The pharaoh in the fresco has a solemn expression again. He is holding a crystal ball-like object in his hand. He is peeping into the sphere, as if he can see all the truth of the universe.
"[Yingqi Orb] tells everything and tells the king the way to go in the future."
"Seal everything and hide the sun. In this way, the ancient gods will never come, and the king's descendants will be spared."
"A man should not pursue what is unattainable. Otherwise, it will only bring about his own destruction."
"Yingqi Orb is staring at you."
Academician Zuster just translated according to the text and read it out sentence by sentence. However, the text engraved on the mural itself may be some kind of incantation. When Zuster read all this, he touched some kind of trap, and the stone wall where the last mural was located began to sink.
A door hidden behind the wall is extremely clever, and thus appears in front of everyone.
