Chapter 1198: The Unclean Obelisk
The exit of the secret passage is located on a semicircular stone platform with a protruding wall, and from this point you can see what is going on below.
The room was large, with murals painted on the walls around it, and wizards underneath.
Three huge obelisks stand in the center, forming a triangle.
The three obelisks are the Obelisk of the Sun, the Obelisk of the Moon, and the Obelisk of the Stars.
It didn't take Lavier to introduce it, and Evan would be able to recognize it.
It is easy to identify, as the three obelisks are topped with sun, moon and star markings.
They were almost parallel to Aven's current height, and it didn't take much effort to see them.
These three striking markings are made of turquoise jade, and under the torches, the jade shimmers with a strange brilliance that is impossible to ignore, and you can't help but be intoxicated by it just by looking at it, and the wizards who have just entered this secret room are staring at these three marks like Aven......
It is undeniable that the three giant obelisks are full of quaint, mysterious, and spectacular atmosphere, set off by jade markings.
But Aiwen's gaze moved down to the obelisk, and the first thing he felt was uncomfortable.
The uncomfortable place is not some weird shapes, but the color of all the rocks on which the obelisk was built.
"You didn't tell me these three obelisks were red and black!" Evan said to Lavier.
"Oh, I don't think it's anything to be aware of, and although rocks of this color are rare in the Egyptian region, it wasn't too difficult for Ramses II to get a few of them. Lavier replied, seemingly surprised as to why Evan was asking, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"
Evan shook his head, he couldn't tell what was wrong, he just didn't feel well.
The main rock of the three obelisks in front of me is not a solid color, but a strange red and black color.
In general, there can be more black, which seems to be the texture of the rock itself, and there are fewer red spots on it.
Moreover, the spots vary in size and are unevenly distributed.
Evan didn't know why this was the case, in general, this rock was inferior and would not have been used to build an obelisk.
Not to mention, this important obelisk located within the remains of the sun......
Ancient Egyptian sorcerers were very fastidious, and even pure black obsidian would not have been used to build obelisks that symbolized merit and power.
Normally, they use golden yellow, which is the most sacred color.
Strange colors, that's what Evan thinks these three obelisks are abnormal.
The ancient Egyptian sorcerers made this stone into an obelisk and arranged it here, which must have been useful, it could not have been a whim, or simply because of the unique aesthetic of the builders, not that they did not understand art, but it certainly would not be so avant-garde and abstract.
As in other regions, in the magical civilization of Ancient Egypt, variegated colors were often a sign of uncleanness!
"Is it unclean?" looked at the obelisk, and Evan muttered quietly, "Is it contaminated?"
Also, where he felt uncomfortable, the reddish-black spots on the obelisk seemed to be the color of blood clotting.
Blood, an obelisk tainted with blood, a symbol of uncleanness!
This was not a good idea, and along this line of thought, the more he looked at the three obelisks, the more strange he felt.
Even with it, the whole secret room made people feel very uncomfortable.
Evan sniffed hard and followed Lavier down.
The room was full of people, and there were probably more than two hundred wizards crowded in front of the obelisk.
Most of their sorcerers, who were proficient in alchemy, were trying to discern something from the three obelisks.
Some wizards waved their wands at the obelisk and chanted words, not knowing what magic they were using.
Others kept writing down something on the parchment they carried with them, and more people were talking about it, pointing at each other's obelisks.
"Lavier, Aven, here!" the sound of the pendulum rang out in the crowd.
He and four other hired alchemists were standing in front of the Sun Obelisk, with three goblins beside him.
"You've been to the Temple of the Gods!" he said, "Well, have you found anything?"
"I didn't find anything special, I just felt spectacular. Evan replied, "The statues of the gods are beyond my imagination. ”
"Yes, this ruin is beyond everyone's imagination!" Pendulum nodded, as if he was a little disappointed that Evan and the others hadn't found anything, "Whether in terms of size or level, the Sun Ruins are the tallest and largest of the ancient magic ruins found so far, and I believe that this is the most important temple and palace built by Ramses II." ”
"Absolutely, there must be a lot of treasure here!" said another elf.
His words were echoed by the other goblins.
"Countless riches are ours, as long as we can crack those damn curses or the alchemy traps in front of us. ”
"It's just a matter of time!"
"Let's talk about it first, according to the previous agreement, whose excavation team finds something belongs to whom, and other teams are not allowed to rob it. ”
"Of course, it has to be!" said Pendulum, turning to look eagerly at Aven, "Aven, come to me, look at this obelisk, and see if you can find anything from it, it's your forte." ”
There seems to be some kind of agreement between these goblins, dividing the treasures that have not yet been found.
The elves are not as united as the wizards think, and there is competition.
"Oh my God, Pendulum, this kid can't be the alchemist you hired?!" a dark-faced goblin deliberately shouted in an exaggerated tone, looking at Evan with malicious intent, "I thought he was an intern on your team!"
"Evan is an alchemist I've hired for me, what's wrong with that, Raffle?" Pendulum asked rhetorically, looking warily at the other.
"Question? Do you want to say that he knows alchemy?!" said the elf called Lovell, "this is the biggest joke I've heard this year, can't you find a better alchemist?"
"I also think this kid is too young for him to still be in school, right?" said another elf objectively.
"Yes, I'm a Hogwarts student. LS course!" Evan said, not intending to explain anything.
He took two steps above and stood in the position where the pendulum had just been, carefully observing the obelisk of the sun in front of him.
Not to mention the uncomfortable color, the Sun Obelisk is the tallest of the three obelisks and the simplest in style.
The entire obelisk is a square cone-shaped stone pillar carved with hieroglyphs and ancient scripts.
It is worth noting that in the center of each side, it is separated by a columnar red crystal that rises vertically.
The top of the red crystal is connected to the sun marker made of jade, and the bottom extends to the ground.
Strange, Ai Wen didn't pay attention just now, why was this columnar red crystal inlaid on the obelisk?
It's another anomaly, and those red-black spots on the obelisk......
