Lord of the Oasis Chapter 253: .The old man in the temple
After all, Kant learned a lot.
In the academy of Lion Castle, after studying systematic subjects, he will choose to read some other books.
Readings such as historical biographies, regional travelogues, etc.
These are Kant's favorites.
As a traverser, he must first understand the history and civilization of this world, so that he can have a general understanding in his heart, and then make corresponding means to quickly improve his strength and reputation.
Of course, even if he has read a lot of books, the doubts still exist for now.
This stems from information asymmetry.
Thousands of years ago, the historical data of the Age of the Gods was so scarce that it could only be imagined.
There is no way.
Even on the earth, for tens of thousands of years, only fragmented myths and legends can be handed down. Even if relics and a few fragmentary antiques are discovered, it is only by guessing that a little conclusion can be drawn.
Not to mention this feudal era, which is still in the cold weapon era.
Without systematic archaeology, it is impossible to connect the results obtained by archaeology, and it is also impossible to excavate the history hidden in time. This is undoubtedly a tragedy in archaeology and history.
is something any scholar laments.
Just like Kant's teacher, the Hank Scholar, was so.
He spent decades, a lifetime, to find the Lost City.
And this is just one or two sentences in historical materials and myths, but it actually exists, but the truth is hidden in the dust of history, and there is no remaining history to be found.
Kant can now prove it to be true.
Because the cave dungeon he is currently in may have a great connection with the Lost City.
But these are secondary.
Kant's most important thing at the moment is to deal with subsequent things.
This majestic dungeon built in a cave is already under his control.
Explore everything in the city, look for anything of value, scavenge for treasures that may have been left behind in ancient times, and if Kant wishes, he can also permanently choose to occupy this dungeon.
After all, according to Kant's observations, there is still life here.
Freshwater has an uninterrupted flow of underground rivers.
Living supplies can be transported through rivers and dam roads along the river.
And the most important thing is the complete housing and buildings in the city. According to Kant's current estimation, in terms of the scale of the underground city, even a population of 5000+ will not have any problems.
This was indeed a small town in the feudal era.
You must know that at the beginning of the Middle Ages, the population of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, was only 20,000+.
But the downside here is equally obvious.
Kant looked up at the rock formation above his head, which was growing in abundance of shimmering moss and glowing mushrooms.
Yingying's light is as gentle as a veil, releasing soft light, so that the entire cave is bathed in a light as soft as moonlight.
It's like a moonlit world.
But the shortcoming is here, which makes Kant hesitate.
Without sunlight, it means that it cannot be planted, and even aquaculture cannot be produced. Apart from relying on rivers to develop fishery or transportation, there is no future at all. It can be said that Kant does not have the foundation to develop this cave underground city, even permanent Sexual occupation can't be done, it can only be used as a refuge in times of crisis.
But even if it is used as a shelter, the village of "Aaron" on the outskirts of the Sangwaya Mountains can also do it. After all, the castle of "Drehem" in Kant is extremely stable.
What's more, "Aaron" will be upgraded from Village Chief to Town in no time.
If there is an enemy, it is possible to break through the castle of "Drehem" and then the town of "Aaron".
So what if you escape into this cave?
It's not that they will be hunted down yet. Continue to use Kant's unstoppable strength to easily break through the defensive offensive of this dungeon. Even if the dungeon cannot be attacked without a large amount of material reserves, the siege can still destroy the dungeons inside. Kant and the others were besieged to death, and there was no capital to resist at all!
Slightly sighed, Kant still gave up the idea of occupying this place. After all, it really does not have the ability to develop this dungeon that has no output and no future development.
"Lord Lord, there is no abnormality around."
The Ravenston Rangers who have dispersed to inspect the surrounding streets and houses have returned.
He looked relatively relaxed, and reported to Kangdehui: "The houses are empty. It seems that this underground city should have been abandoned by the former residents long ago."
"Well, I see." Kant nodded.
The dungeons were sealed with demons, and the evacuation of the residents was a matter of course.
Kant had already thought of this.
And the captain of the ranger looked at the Mayan-looking pyramid temple on the mountain, frowned and guessed: "Maybe we can find something valuable there, I don't know why, in our mind, we are all right there. The temple is a little throbbing, and this strange feeling reminds us of the empire's snake worship."
"Do you feel weird too?"
The wizards who came over spoke and nodded to Kant: "In that temple, positive energy and negative energy are very strong, and they are competing with each other. Maybe we should go and take a look."
"Is there any danger?" Kant asked with a frown.
"No." The mages replied: "We do not perceive signs of life."
"That's fine."
Kant waved his hand, indicating that all the soldiers around him should be assembled.
Together with the Swadian knights, they dismounted and walked towards the end of the dungeon, the Mayan-shaped pyramid temple built against the mountain, assembled and lined up and walked quickly.
They were vigilant, but found nothing unusual.
The central avenue is 30 meters wide, and the houses on both sides can still vaguely see gorgeous carvings.
All are the Sun Sacred Patterns familiar to Kant.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the Sun Sacred Patterns are now cracked.
Just in front of the door of the Pyramid Temple, a huge pit has appeared in the ground. A huge stone coffin has been opened, and there are a large number of dark, black flesh-like flesh eggs around.
But by this time the fleshy eggs had withered and were as terrifying as dead mummified corpses.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
The arrows roared, and the Ravenston Rangers raised their bows in solemnity.
The sound of falling to the ground is heard in the shadows of houses not far away.
"There is a situation."
The Ranger spoke in a calm tone: "But it's all settled."
The Rhodok sergeants walked quickly towards the place where the voice was, entered the house with the door wide open, and pulled out a few little devils and long-horned demons with arrows in their eye sockets, Shen Shenghui reported: " It's the demons who fled in!"
Kant glanced at him and said, "It's not really a threat."
A group of low-level demons.
Even if it reappears twice as large as before, it will be torn to shreds by his current level 5 units.
Suffice to say.
Level 5 units have become the pinnacle of human conventional combat power.
If you want to rise again, you may have to consider that mysterious supernatural power.
At that time, the upgraded arms can no longer be called level 5 arms, maybe the level is higher, such as the level 6 arms, 7 arms in other magic MODs, and even the top ace arms of level 8 and many more!
As long as it conforms to the rules of this world, system mods can appear in this world.
Finish the remaining subordinate demons.
Kant led the team to continue toward the Mayan-shaped pyramid.
The building built with huge stone blocks has a human-shaped statue of nearly 5 meters at the top. It also holds a sun disc made of gold high, facing the tiny light at the top of the mountain, flashing a faint halo.
This is from the age of the gods and symbolizes the mighty power of the sun god.
The mages became solemn.
Standing behind Kant, clenched the staff in his hand, and reminded softly: "A powerful deity once descended here, and we can sense that the subtle divine power still remains in this temple, although it is not enough. Smell, but as the place where the gods came, some of the rules have been permanently changed."
"So, is there any danger?" Kant frowned, he didn't like the gods.
"Relax, Lord, there is no danger here."
The mages continued: "The gods have been gone for a long time, and the rules that have been changed are about to be erased by time."
Kant nodded: "That's good."
Leading the team to the temple this time is not a security check.
If there is anything, such as strange objects, artifacts, gold, etc., he will not be polite, he can pack it all away in minutes, even if he has time, he encounters gems set in stones, gilded walls , he was willing to buckle or scrape it with a dagger and take it away.
The thousands of years of unclaimed land, occupied by the abyss demons, and then the dungeons that he seized have become his territory, and everything in it is his spoils.
Take his own spoils, Kant has no psychological barriers.
No way.
In a world where strength is paramount, the glory of the gods has long since faded. Now whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.
Of course, given the current situation, Kant's fist is undoubtedly bigger.
Even the Abyssal Demon fell before his troops.
"Safe!"
The Rhodok sergeants who were exploring the path ahead waved.
"Let's go." Kant turned his head to look at the houses on both sides that had been destroyed by the demons, and also said solemnly: "Everyone cheered up, encountered an abnormal situation, no hostility or launched a fatal attack. , unauthorized attacks are not allowed." After a pause, Kant added in a deep voice: "Except for demons."
"Understood!" The Ravenston Rangers behind them nodded in response.
This sentence was actually addressed to them.
The Sergeant Rhodok in the front and the Swadian knight in the back are all close combat fighters.
Mainly defensive.
These top archers are the first to attack when an enemy is spotted.
The accuracy of the arrows without missing a shot is lethal.
If you encounter an unknown and powerful enemy, you will be wronged if you take the lead to attack and cause unnecessary misunderstanding. At least Kant's troops can't bear too many losses. After all, Kant, who pursues too many elite soldiers, prefers to destroy Destroy the enemy, rather than provoke a powerful enemy to be destroyed.
But as long as you are cautious, you can now threaten Kant's more than 300 enemies. Unless you come back to the abyss demon as powerful as Amon Keke, it is simply a gift.
Soon to the bottom of the front of the pyramid.
In front of you is the stairs to the top along the way, about 80 meters, to the top of the pyramid.
He raised his head slightly.
Kant looked up at the dark portal at the top.
The main body of the temple is at the bottom of the stone statue. From bottom to top, you can just see the stone statue holding the sun disc in both hands and looking down, just like watching Kant and the others.
The heart is beating slightly, and Kant always feels very uncomfortable.
But right now.
A dialog box pops up on the retina in front of you.
[Ding…temporary task release]
[Temporary Mission: Search for the Temple]
[Quest reward: double recruitment (constant)]
【Task introduction: You came to the foot of the temple and found that mysterious extraordinary fluctuations faintly radiated in it. You think you might be able to find some treasures handed down from ancient times, and you decide to enter the temple to search. ]
Temporary tasks from the system.
Kant frowned slightly.
The current system is no longer as simple as it used to be, and it's all with some hints in it.
Since it is searching for the temple.
Then according to Kant's knowledge of the system, there is definitely something in the temple!
After all, it is an indirect prompt given by the system.
Turn his head to wink at Sergeant Rhodok waiting on both sides. Kant raised his chin and said, "Go up, open the stone gate, and report the situation after confirming that there is no danger."
"Understood." The ten Rhodok sergeants nodded and walked up the stairs with their broad shields in hand.
Just at the top of the stairs.
The bottom of the statue's feet is the entrance to the temple blocked by a thick stone gate.
At this time, Kant looked up at the nearly 5-meter stone statue.
And in the temple in the ruins of the mountain, the huge statue of 100 meters high directly carved on the mountain is exactly the same on the face, except for the different movements, the ancient armor and clothes are the same.
Maybe this is the **** of the lost city, the **** they believe in, the sun god!
The face is about 25 years younger.
The entire face is sculpted to life.
This technology is unmatched by modern humans. In Kant's impression, even the dwarves with the best craftsmanship can't match it. Perhaps in the direction of making art, only the mysterious and unfamiliar elves on the coast of Mannheim It can be compared, but Kant does not believe that the stone statues they can carve are so lifelike.
As if it were a real living creature, it could escape this rock crust anytime, anywhere.
"It doesn't feel good."
Kant frowned.
This condescending look made him feel a little awkward.
Especially swept the indifferent eyes of the stone statue, as if stared at by the gods of the past.
However, the soldiers beside them did not feel this way. They stood in line and carefully dispersed to guard the surrounding intersections, especially the areas that were not explored when they came. They clenched their weapons and shields and watched vigilantly. At the same time, any abnormal situation will attract their attention, as well as the eyes of the rangers who are also ready to shoot.
Kant's order is here, but for them, if they really encounter an irresistible enemy, it is equally important to launch the attack first and ensure the safety of the lord!
“Kakakaka…”
Above the head, there is the awkward sound of stones rubbing against each other.
The heavy stone door is pushed open.
The Rhodok sergeants looked solemn, looked at the entrance of the black hole, looked at each other, took out the torches they were carrying, ignited them with a fire holder such as a torch, and held them up into the alley.
The torches are burning very happily.
The choking black smoke from the burning grease quickly flooded the top floor of the roadway.
But Sergeants Rhodoks didn't get too far.
Only about 5 meters, I came to the wooden door at the end of the alley. It was carved with exquisite patterns, and there were precious gilt and precious stones on the door handle. Under the flash of fire, it looked extremely beautiful.
Reaching for the doorknob, Sergeant Rhodok slowly opened the wooden door.
"Woooooooooooooooo"
A cool breeze burst out from the crack of the door.
The torches seemed to be swaying violently by the cold breeze. For a time, the fire in the alley was suppressed, the temperature was invisibly lowered by several degrees, and the light was dimmed.
The gloomy wind blew outwards and swirled a few times around the burly bodies of the sergeants.
Then with a whimper of some kind of wind being squeezed in a small space, the temples of the 10 Rhodok sergeants swayed out of the helmets, rushed out of the corridor and turned into a breeze and disappeared.
The front sergeant Rhodok lowers his broad shield.
There is a bit of doubt between the eyebrows.
Looking at each other, they didn't notice anything unusual, but their hearts palpitated for this gloomy wind.
Those who have come into contact with fantasy force are no longer limited to Calradia's traditional force.
They didn't find it weird.
But at the bottom of the pyramid temple, the faces of the waiting mages changed slightly.
Directly raised their heads, a gust of wind gushed out of the alleyway, making their faces even more changed, frowning slightly, and reporting to Kangdehui in a deep voice: "Something's wrong, my lord!"
"What's wrong?" Kant looked up, but couldn't see the wind that had dissipated.
"Very strong negative energy."
The mage headed by looked up, his eyes full of shock: "Even after thousands of years of weakening, you can feel the intensity of that negative energy. If it is at its peak, it is estimated that we The crowd is swept away by the storm formed by that negative energy, and they will be destroyed on the spot, turning into ignorant fools!"
Kant frowned, looking at the solemn faces of the mages next to him, and the Ravenston rangers from the Pande world who were also aware of the mysterious power, and couldn't help but ask: "What did you find?"
"Negative energy, rich negative energy."
The mage swallowed, stabilized his mind, and said: "Just now, a wind formed by a gathering of negative energy rushed out of the entrance of the temple, which caught us by surprise, but fortunately, it has passed tens of thousands of years and thousands of years. Weakening, it doesn't have any lethality."
"Hmm." Kant nodded, as long as he made sure there was no danger.
But the mage frowned: "It's not right."
"What?" Kant asked.
"Yes, something is wrong."
The mage closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and repeated in his mouth: "It's really not right!"
"Yes, I sensed it too!" The other mages nodded as well.
Glancing at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"What's the matter?" Kant was a little stern.
These mages clearly sensed something wrong. He had to know the details. He couldn't help but said solemnly: "Tell me immediately, is there anything wrong in this temple?"
"Yes... yes."
The mage was hesitant to answer.
"Speak." Kant said solemnly.
"It's like this, Lord Lord, in this wind composed of negative energy, we found a cold aura that only belongs to the dead, and in our perception, this is the most distinctive feature of the dead!"
The head mage frowned and explained, "It's in this temple!"
"Yes, right in the temple!" The other mages chimed in.
"Undead." Kant's face was solemn.
The sergeant Rhodok and the Swadian knights behind him are equally solemn, including the Ravenston Ranger. Obviously they know something about the undead. After all, they are corpses that have come back from the dead. Scary pictures can always be drawn through these dismembered corpses.
But no matter how you describe it, these dead spirits, these corpses that should have been sleeping forever, should never appear in the world. This is equivalent to the most basic rule. The boundary between life and death has been broken!
Kant knows more about the undead.
After all, in the film and television data of the previous life, the undead, a special race, is not weaker than the devil in the slightest.
What's more, in the warwind world where mages live, there is a race of undead.
And it is also divided into vampires and bones to establish their own countries!
As one of the powerful human powers, the Ainfus Empire has of course had fierce conflicts with these evil creatures, and even the Tribunal owned by the country exists to solve those evil and filthy demons and undead!
The mages looked solemn.
He turned his head and suggested to Kant: "Lord Lord, in the temple... may be a little gloomy."
Kant squinted his eyes and said, "Tell me more."
"There may be undead creatures."
The mage spoke with a hesitant tone: "Undead creatures have no time limit, but their bones and flesh will decay more and more. Of course, if they are powerful undead, even time cannot stop them. In other words, the soul The fire is the source of their power, and as long as it is not extinguished, it is equal to eternal life."
"How is the situation in the temple?" Kant asked.
"We need to actually go and see it." The mages did not dare to boast, and said cautiously: "But in our perception, there is still a vague aura of the undead, because the cold undead characteristics have been found in the negative energy. "
And at this time ~IndoMTL.com~ at the main entrance of the temple.
Sergeant Rhodok pushed down the gilt door handle and pushed open the fine wooden door.
With the long "squeak" sound, the bronze door pivot was slowly pushed, allowing the entire interior of the temple to appear in front of them, dark and deep.
The torch was raised, and a long-lost light appeared in the main hall of this temple.
It is a hall of nearly 2000 square meters.
But the Rodok sergeants' eyes widened, and the two people in the front even took two steps back subconsciously!
Bone, bones all over the place!
There is also an old man sitting on a golden chair with a scepter in front of the statue in the center at the end of the main hall!
PS: Recommend a friend "Murder in the Night", the plot is very good, the protagonist is slaughtering the emperor, and the fairy grass of Dead by Daylight, even if you haven't played it, you can read it as a killer. I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to criticize it. Among the recommended novels, this one is my favorite, and it is definitely a guaranteed book!
