Chapter 568: Exploring the Holy Land
The night is dark.
In the depths of the Witch Forest, under the shade of many dense trees, a pyramid with a radius of 100 meters stands.
This pyramid is different from the most common Egyptian pyramids on earth, and is more similar to the Yakma pyramid - it is relatively low, made of large boulders, not completely conical in shape, with upward steps in all four directions, and a platform at the top on which a ceremonial temple is built.
This is the mecca of the Jungle Lodge – Artis!
It is said that this was once the site of the real Jungle Hut, which at that time was not as divided as it is now, and was a powerful organization of wizards, and the pyramid was where the bodies of the sacrificed good wizards were kept.
In other words, a mass grave.
Later, for unknown reasons, the place was destroyed, leaving only the ruined pyramids, and the jungle hut was divided into a dozen forces, but it remained very reluctantly united.
Either way, in the eyes of any wizard in the jungle hut gathering place, this place has an extraordinary meaning, and it is not allowed to break in casually.
In the night, Richard appeared here, under the cover of concealment, shadow cloak and other spells, skillfully avoiding the guardians in the shadows, and quietly approaching the pyramid. Sweep down the steps of the pyramid towards the top and finally stop in front of the closed temple door, unnoticed.
Looking at the closed door of the temple, Richard's eyes flashed, it was not the first time he had been here, there had been several temptations before. Through the temptation, he found that the entrance to the entire temple was carved with very complex magic patterns, and specific authentication was required to enter it safely, otherwise it would cause a warning. To this end, he worked hard to find the key to the Holy Land. Fortunately, I finally found it.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the key to the Holy Land with a pale golden luster, inserted it into a hole in the temple door, and turned it around.
"Brush—"
The temple was carved with a number of stone doors that supported the magic pattern, and quietly slid open, revealing an entrance leading inside.
Richard didn't hesitate and walked in quickly.
Entering the temple, the first thing you see is a staircase that rotates downwards and descends the staircase deep into the interior of the pyramid to reach a hall.
The hall is very large, covering an area of thousands of square meters, and the four walls are inlaid with fluorescent crystals, which is very bright. On the floor of the hall, there are many sarcophagi, all of which are dead jungle hut wizards buried here, and in front of the sarcophagus stands a stone tablet with the name of the dead wizard and a brief biography.
Richard glanced down the hall and frowned slightly.
According to the usual specificity of the Black Spirit King's treasure, it is indeed hidden in the tomb. But whether it is the treasure outside the White Rock City or the treasure of the Black Stone Necropolis, the tomb is just a disguise, and there is no body inside.
It was different now, this was a real tomb, and a tomb that was still in use, and he didn't think that the last treasure of the Black Spirit King was hidden here—if it did, it would have been taken away a long time ago.
Don't...... Could it be that there is a hidden secret door in this hall of the mass grave?
Richard guessed in his heart, squinting his eyes across all the corners of the hall, and after scanning them a few times, his eyes fell on a sarcophagus in the center of the hall.
Looking over, I found that the sarcophagus was somewhat new compared to the rest of the sarcophagus.
To go into more detail, there was less dust on that sarcophagus than the rest of the sarcophagus.
"In the near future, has it been moved?" Richard narrowed his eyes, stepped closer to the sarcophagus, and with a slight force, pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus, and saw a black hole inside, revealing a downward passage.
"Sure enough. Richard said, jumped into the sarcophagus without hesitation, and walked into the passage.
......
"Click......
Richard walked to the end of the passage and found a small chamber.
But there is no treasure of the Black Spirit King in this secret room, but a separate sarcophagus is placed, and the tombstone in front of the sarcophagus has the name of the deceased written on it - Artis!
Artis, this is the name of the jungle hut and the name of the deceased.
For a moment, Richard understood.
He knew a little about the Jungle Hut's past, so he knew that the person who founded the Jungle Hut, a wizarding organization, hundreds of years ago, was called Artis. It is precisely in honor of each other that the name of the sacred place of the jungle hut is consistent with the name of the other party.
After thinking about this, Richard was slightly disappointed.
Sure enough, the last treasure and the real secret of the Black Spirit King are not so easy to crack, and this is obviously not the burial place of the last treasure.
In this case, could it be said that he had guessed wrong from the beginning? The word "Artis" in the hint in the metal ball cube did not refer to the sacred place of the jungle hut?
That...... And what is the place?
Richard pursed his lips, walked to the sarcophagus and pushed the lid open with his hand, and saw that there was no passage inside, but an urn and a stone box containing burial goods, which showed that this was indeed the tomb of the wizard "Artis", not a fake.
Richard frowned, but did not give up completely, and with the last glimmer of hope, he opened the stone box of the funerary goods, and saw that there were some small worn objects, damaged spell items, and a parchment scroll.
Parchment scrolls?
Richard raised his eyebrows, picked up the scroll, opened it and glanced at it a few times, his eyes wide.
There are no powerful spells recorded on the scroll, but some thoughts of Artis during his lifetime, which is a kind of codex. In the second half of the Codex, Richard discovered that a rather complex design of the magic spell prop was recorded.
The name of the magic pattern spell item is called the right hand of the god, and it requires a lot of magic patterns to be stacked and cooperated. According to the description, once crafted, this magic spell item can exert powerful attack power, in addition to the irresistible power of fate.
"The power of fate?prophecy spell effect?" Richard frowned, looked at the codex for a long time, and suddenly thought, how similar the design of the "Gauntlet of the World" is to this "Right Hand of God"!
No, not similar, Richard shook his head. It should be said that the "Right Hand of God" has made some simplifications on the basis of the "Glove of the Destruction of the World", so it does not seem as complicated as the Glove of the Destruction of the World.
No, it's not simplification, Richard shook his head again. It should be said that the right hand of God is part of the glove of the destruction of the world, and it is to separate some of the functions of the glove of the destruction of the world, and these are the ones that are vaguely described on the design of the glove of the destruction of the world.
In other words, the Codex of the Right Hand of God and the Scroll of the Extinction Glove Design Scroll are the most complete when combined!
In this way, he was not looking for the wrong place, otherwise how could he explain the connection between the right hand of God and the glove of destruction?
However, it is true that this is not the burial place of the Black Spirit King's last treasure - if it were, the Codex with only one God's Right Hand would be too shabby and perfunctory.
Therefore, the three words "Artis" have another interpretation. He's on the right track, but he's still some way from success.
"It seems that we have to continue to research and continue to search. Richard said to himself, "It's really not easy. ”
