Although Angelica ’s language is unknown, Hao Ren probably guessed about the ancient saint through a few short sentences.
First of all, there is no doubt that Gu Sheng is definitely not a human being, and he is still alive to this day-only in a very bad state of survival.
The ancient saint is indeed the supreme existence of the twilight capital. Humans living here regard it as a human **** and worship it. In the early days of the establishment of the twilight capital, when the ancient saint was still in good condition, he was indeed The supreme ruler of the city, but this situation did not last long. Gu Sheng may have made some sacrifices in the process of establishing the twilight capital-this sacrifice led to the rapid loss of his vitality, and gradually could not bear the responsibility of managing the city. According to the information added by Wendel, Gu Sheng no longer directly manages the various affairs of the city 1500 years ago, and no direct contact with the outside world a thousand years ago. The Iron Throne was also in that era. Closed, no longer open to ordinary people.
Five hundred years ago, Gu Sheng began to gradually lose the ability to communicate with the outside world.
To this day, he should be unable to speak, move, or express any wishes of his own. Ordinary people cannot communicate with them at all. Only the special group of "caregivers", due to their mysterious ancient blood, they You can also listen to the ancient saint's voice in some way similar to telepathy, but this kind of listening is also very chaotic-in the words of Angelica, it is dreamlike.
One such king cannot rule the kingdom, so after the Iron Throne is closed, all the management power of the Twilight Capital is completely vested in the Steam Council, and the Steam Council is not disappointed: although conservative and stubborn , But from top to bottom is still due diligence, so that the city continues to operate to this day.
For many years, the ancient saint has been in a state of false death, relying on a little fragile spiritual connection to communicate with his caregivers, but there has never been any sign of true soberness, but today, his spirit The activity suddenly became intense, and the caregivers were instructed through spiritual connections, asking them to bring those travelers coming from outside the twilight barrier to themselves.
And at this time, Hao Ren and they have been fighting with the Twilight Guards in full swing-in fact, it was their big trouble that caught the attention of Gu Sheng.
The ancient sage still did n’t wake up completely. He still had to talk to the caregiver. Although the caregiver himself was respected, he could n’t intervene in the city ’s management affairs. Contact and explain the situation, so after urgent discussions, the caregivers were divided into two ways, some went to the Upper Town to find the steam council to convey the ancient saint ’s will, and the other part came directly to meet the Hao Ren group of three.
"You know we are coming here?" Hao Ren looked at Angelica in surprise, "We are secretly acting here."
"This is the instructions of the ancient saint, he is watching you," Angelica smiled and nodded to Wendel. "Although I don't know the reason, this old gentleman also heard the ancient saint's Voice, Gu Sheng saw you coming through his eyes. "
With a proud expression, Wendell said that this was indeed the case. Hao Ren was immediately curious about this old man: he was just an ordinary person, and how did he get in touch with the ancient saint buried deep underground?
Unconsciously, a group of people have crossed several blocks along the secret route provided by Angelica. Hao Ren noticed that the surrounding buildings are gradually becoming sparse, and the messy small and medium-sized houses are Disappeared, replaced by large and neatly arranged stone buildings. After turning around the last street, the scenery in front of me was suddenly bright, and a solemn megalithic building appeared in front of a pedestrian.
This is a pyramid-shaped stone fortress, built with neat black and gray square stone columns. Although the fortress lacks decoration, it has a solemn atmosphere. The fortress is surrounded by a large empty square This square may have been an important meeting place in the twilight capital in the past, but now it seems empty and silent, lifeless.
At the top of this pyramid fortress, a pale golden beam of light breaks through the darkness and extends up to the depths of the layered city structure.
Hao Ren looked at this stone fortress a bit familiarly, and tried to recall for a long time, he suddenly realized that the structure of this thing looked like the Odin Golden Palace in the Asa Garden.
"This is the sanctuary of the Iron Throne," Angelica pointed to a gate at the bottom of the pyramid-shaped building. "The gate is over there, please follow me."
The stone fortress is not as grand and magnificent as imagined. In fact, as the residence of the "Ancient Saint", the interior decoration of this building is simply shabby in the eyes of Hao Ren. The walls of the stone corridor are bare, and the ground is covered with old stone slabs. No decorations such as sculptures or murals can be seen along the way. The only embellishments are the steam lamps embedded on the walls: these steam lamps put the sanctuary The light inside shines like daylight.
Along the way, Hao Ren also saw other caregivers: they are men and women, young and old, dressed exactly like Angelica, and even have the same temperament: quiet, speechless, gentle, and almost no emotion. This strange commonality may be caused by living in the Holy Years for many years.
The caregivers already knew the arrival of the visitors. After they saw the Hao Ren line, they nodded slightly or bowed to the side of the road. Everyone remained silent, during which there were only two young caregivers and Angeli. Card had a brief conversation.
In this weird atmosphere of silence along the way, Hao Ren they were taken to a hexagonal hall.
They finally saw the mysterious ancient saint and his present condition.
The hall is full of winding and entangled pipes and cables. These glimmering lines extend from under the six stone platforms around the hall and are concentrated on a metal platform in the center of the room. In a huge, transparent crystal, the iron throne is inside the crystal: a thin, twisted old man sits on a seat made of ferrous metal.
If you do n’t know it in advance, Hao Ren ca n’t even believe that this person is still alive.
He shriveled like a skeleton, his skin was decayed gray and black, and the thin skin was close to the bones, filled with various pipes, and the old man's head It is fixed by an iron shelf, and many cables extend from the temple and the back of the head. These cables are all connected to the Iron Throne under his body.
Hao Ren noticed that Gu Sheng had a blindfold on one of his eyes, and he guessed the identity of the other party.
Vivian was not surprised when she saw the ancient saint. She had expected: "Odin, it really is you."
"It turns out that this is the case ..." Hao Ren also has a feeling of stasis, the king of the gods who is unknown on the plains of Wiglute-who can do this kind of thing besides him?
Wendel was very excited. He did n’t even notice that the Vivian next to him called the name of the ancient saint very familiarly. The old man just crawled on the ground excitedly, kissing the slate floor in front of him again and again: "Sage! The light seeker has found a piece of paradise, and there is still light on Asgard's land!"
Odin on the Iron Throne did not respond. He just continued to sit there silently, seeming to have completely lost the ability to communicate with the outside world. Hao Ren turned to look at Angelica: "He has always been like this?"
"This is the way I saw him for the first time." Angelica nodded gently.
"What should I do next?"
“I do n’t know,” said Angelica, “I ’m just instructed to bring you here, the wishes of the ancient saint ca n’t be figured out.”
Vivian suddenly said: "I know what to do. Hao Ren, use Gungnier for me."
Hao Ren unexplainedly took the sharp gun from the portable space and handed it to Vivian. Then he saw that the latter chanted a few mantras to the spear whispered, and then under the curious attention of everyone, Vivian took this The gun was placed on the platform under the Iron Throne.
In a flash, the large crystal that sealed Odin gave out a faint shimmer.
"Actually, I just tried it, I didn't expect it to work," Vivian explained. "The Yassa tribe has a very good attainment in spiritual strength, and it is also quite good at the soul. The strong among them will take their own Part of the soul and life force is poured into the objects that accompany it for life, as a back hand in an emergency. Gungnier was broken into three pieces before, but the institutions inside it have been still running, so I guess the power sealed inside Are still there. "
Hao Ren is very optimistic: "So, can he recover?"
A weak and old voice suddenly came from all around: "I'm sorry, I can't." (To be continued.)
