Vivian has evaluated the historical heritage of short-lived species many times from the perspective of long-lived species. These evaluations are always profound and accurate. Just like the story of the witch spread in the Andre family, the family inheritance in just three hundred years will cause such a huge deviation in the truth of the year, not to mention the Plane of Dreams's 10,000-year historical record-there is also After several twists and turns, it is understandable how much error has occurred in the legend that has spread to the present day.
Now even the longer-lived races of Plane of Dreams can't figure out what the truth was.
People have always thought that the ancient magic empire ’s research on taboo technology angered the goddess. The artificial miracles built by the magic emperors are a symbol of blasphemy. The three wonders including the sunset volcano have been regarded as evidence of deviance for many years. , But who can think that these things are actually used to suppress First born?
Although the repressive effect of these things may be quite limited.
At the foot of the sunset volcano is a large rocky wilderness, which is laid by a huge layer of black rock that extends to the east coastline, and a small mound between the rocky wilderness and the limestone fortress There is an ancient monastery that looks almost abandoned.
This monastery is the last facility of the Huiyao sect on the east side of the kingdom, and there are only a few elderly monks in charge.
The outer wall of the mottled church is covered with thorns. In addition to the large gravel is a few bushes of salt-tolerant shrubs growing around the monastery, from the appearance of it, I am afraid that no one can think of this as the second sacred cave watch church. Hao Ren They did not spend time in the limestone fortress, Austria Ophra and the fort defenders simply led the team to this dilapidated monastery, the entrance to the sacred cave is underground.
Lily looked at this ancient monastery with some emotion: "This place is really broken ... a fortress, an old monastery, can it really hold such an important place as the sunset volcano?"
"Do n’t underestimate these ancient facilities," Archbishop Auburn shook his head. "The three ancient ruins have corresponding temple guards, the lake heart church in the parish of Beinz, the old monastery at sunset volcano, and The small sanctuary of the giant tree of life, these three facilities are the oldest and most powerful divine nodes. The church system of the entire kingdom is providing energy to these three nodes. Although they seem to be ruined, even an army It is also difficult to break through the defense here. "
"The lake heart church of Beinz Blood Lake was finished in an instant, and afterwards investigation found that First born completely cut off the magical operation of the chapel at that time," Austria Ophra shrugged. "Facts have proved that the power of First born is far beyond our understanding, ancient magic The empire can't fight it, and our divine system is only fragmentary, not to mention useful. "
Archbishop Auburn shook his head and said nothing, and the monks of the monastery opened the entrance to the underground: the entrance was located in the back garden of the monastery ’s chapel, and from the outside it was just an ordinary large tombstone. . Hao Ren estimated that at the beginning of the Beinz Blood Lake, the Huxin Church also had such an entrance, leading to the storage site of the "holy coffin" under the church. But before he could find the entrance, the entire chapel was swallowed by the vortex.
The three sacred caves sealed with First born actually have the same structure: First born is sleeping in a huge underground cavity surrounded by a cave system like a labyrinth, and above this system is a layer of artificial rock The shell (the builders are ancient magic emperors), the rock shell holds the upper surface, and a small church is built directly above the entire system (the builder is the first pope of the Huiyao sect). The underground of the chapel stores a safety device that constantly applies "hypnosis" to First born, namely the saint coffin.
The whole structure is like a silver nail to prevent the resurrection of evil spirits on the coffin-this world has spent 10,000 years under the protection of this fragile security device.
You can reach the underground part of the chapel by going down a steep rocky tunnel. This is a medium-sized underground palace, very spacious, but simple in structure and without decoration, it is a thorough and practical facility.
Hao Ren walked out of the corridor after Archbishop Auburn and saw a spacious rock hall illuminated by magic glow stone. There is a stone platform in the center of the rock hall. The stone platform is empty, but the center is slightly depressed It seems to prove something has been stored here. And around the hall, you can see many gray robe monks meditating-gray robe is the dress of ascetic monk.
"These are the ascetic groups sent from Wangdu," Ao Ophra whispered. "The church and Wang both sent a lot of manpower to monitor the movement of the two sacred caves, but because ordinary people are too close to the tentacle Will be controlled by the mind, so most people can only guard at the limestone fortress, only these ascetic monks and some high-level knights enter the underground. The high-level knights are in other crypts. "
Hao Ren nodded. He knew that the place where First born was sleeping was like a huge underground maze. There should be countless crisscross corridors and huge crypts nearby. Knights and monks from the king capital should have gone to various places. In the cave, the ascetic monk here should be responsible for guarding the entrance.
The surface of the sunset volcano looks unchanged, but there are layers of defense lines under the ground-defense lines with only psychological comfort.
Archbishop Auburn pointed to the stone platform in the center of the long hall: "Here was used to place the saint coffin, but after opening the outer shell of the sacred cave, we moved the saint coffin to a deeper level."
He then led the team through the hall and continued to walk towards the more oblique downward path. It didn't take long for everyone to pass through a stone wall that appeared to have been cut through, and the road ahead suddenly became brighter.
"We just passed through the outer wall of the church ground palace, which was broken last month," another bishop looked back at the black stone wall engraved with Leta runes, "enter from here First born's sphere of influence. "
Several entourage ministers in the team immediately clenched the magic amulet in their hands: these people are ordinary people, they do not have the strong spiritual power of the monk or the strong will of the high-level knight, but the mission is to prevent them from doing it. Without going into the realm of First born, relying on those blessed amulets, they can move freely in this underground world.
"I feel a little bit hot," Nangong Wuyue was the first to notice the change of the surrounding environment after a while, "And the air seems a little ... sulfur smell?"
"We are under the setting sun volcano," Austria Ophra smiled, "Under this Werewolf magic emperor Sanur created the world's largest and most complex underground lava river, there will be some heat and gas from the rock Has penetrated into the gap. But do n’t worry, we have confirmed that there is no leak. "
Nangong Wuyue skimmed his mouth, creating a layer of water mist enchantment around him: "Thum ... Why do I always encounter this kind of thing, I have started to lose scale in recent days."
Hao Ren: "..."
People went deeper and deeper along the underground passage, and the more they opened, the more they passed through several forks and more spacious stone chambers. As expected by Hao Ren, there were three to five people at each fork and stone chamber. High-level knights or monks are stationed. They built rudimentary camps and lines of defense in this underground world, watching for any wind and grass that might come out of those labyrinths.
At the same time, Hao Ren finally saw what he wanted to see: First born's tentacles began to appear on the surrounding cave walls.
Archbishop Auburn finally lost his stone-like calmness when he saw the winding and huge tentacles. His head mosaic even twitched a little, as a master of tempering spirit, and yes The high-level priests who are very sensitive to "source blood" and "origin power", he feels the powerful power and crazy ideas contained in these tentacles more clearly than others: "These are outer tentacles, and only a small part With the ability of mental interference, it will not be affected as long as you avoid it carefully, so it is still safe here. But if you continue to go forward, you will enter ... "
"I will enter the key 'organ' of First born. I know that we have been there in person," Hao Ren nodded. "These tunnels should still be on the outer layer of the cave. Have you opened the outer shell of the inner layer?"
"It ’s in front, but we did n’t open it," Archbishop Auburn nodded and led the crowd to a certain fork. "We searched for ten days and finally found it in this labyrinth-like tunnel. The weak point of the barrier left by the ancient magic emperor is disturbing that there is a gap on it, and some of the tentacles of First born spread from that gap. "
After ten minutes of further progress, the team came to the "barrier entrance" in Auburn's mouth. This is a huge circular cave, and ancient and sacred writings can be seen everywhere on the walls around the cave, which are the seals and messages left by the early pope. Hundreds of ascetic monks and paladins built forts and lines of defense in this cave, closely monitoring the tentacles that spread from the west side of the cave. Hao Ren saw the tentacles protruding from a huge rift instead of “seeping” tightly from the rock like other places, which shows that these tentacles used a more violent method when they broke through the barrier, and they expanded consciously To get in and out of the channel.
But it seems that this should only be a short period of "wake up". Now that the tentacles have quieted down again, judging by the traces around the tentacles, they last "twitched" the last time it should have been many years ago.
"It's scary," Ao Ophra sucks, "when we don't know ... how much is happening underground on this planet?"
Hao Ren approached the tentacles carefully, and confirmed that the latter did not respond before stepping on it boldly. He climbed along the tentacles to the crack of the stone wall and looked at the situation opposite.
On the other side is the sleeping room of First born. He saw a huge stone room filled with unknown red light. Numerous tentacles gathered from all directions to form a tangled and twisted sarcoma-like organ. The organ was dormant and its surface The faint red light changes at a very slow speed.
"The good news is that the sleep is very porcelain. The bad news is that this" tumor "looks bigger than the Dragonspine Ridge," Hao Ren jumped back to the ground. "Where is the holy coffin? I want to analyze its principle."
Archbishop Auburn pointed to a small stone house in the center of the knight ’s resident: "Just there." (Unfinished.)
