Chapter 845: The Second Seal
The Euphrates River was the birthplace of ancient cultures in southern Mesopotamia from the Sumerian to the Abbasid era.
The earliest civilization of mankind was slowly established and developed with it as the center.
Right now, the river is slowly flowing through the city of Fallujah, as usual, bringing valuable water to this important city.
Standing on the bridge, Zhang Cheng condescendingly looked down at the endless river, and asked expressionlessly: "Are you sure that what I am looking for is under the water?"
"That's right, according to the map, there was supposed to be an ancient Babylonian temple here, but then the river seems to have changed, so it was completely submerged and eventually sank to the bottom, and now it is impossible to dig until the river is cut off. A very old scholar was quick to give an affirmative answer.
It has to be said that in the land of the Middle East, countless splendid civilizations have been born, including Surme, Babylon, and Assyria, which are both ancient and full of mystery, and even far exceed the birthplace of most human civilizations in the world.
But now, most of the ruins are gone, replaced by war, killing, hatred, and countless mosques.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, and directly ordered Yelena behind him: "Give them money!
"Are you sure?" Yelena subconsciously frowned.
Although she didn't know exactly what her boss was looking for, because of the spy's first reaction, she felt that it was safest to kill people and make sure that the news would not leak back.
"No, not necessarily. Also, you'd better get out of this area with the people as well, or I won't be able to guarantee your safety if something happens in a while. Zhang Cheng obviously didn't intend to explain too much, just gave a small hint.
"Understood! I'll lead the people back immediately. Yelena was not a fool, and immediately realized that something big was going to happen, and without saying a word, she took out bundles of dollars from her bag and distributed them to the experts and professors who had been busy for a long time.
Although more than 90 percent of these Sunnis are anti-Americans, they do not at all reject the most produced commodity in the United States, the dollar.
Of course, in addition to the dollar, there are various weapons and ammunition of American production.
In fact, just like Mentor Wang's "Law of True Fragrance", the vast majority of so-called boycotts are ultimately just a show, and it is impossible to succeed at all.
The reason is simple, the value of an item is determined by the market, that is, the purchaser himself.
More than 80% of buyers often pay attention not to the place of production, but to the quality and comprehensive cost performance of the product.
......
Seeing everyone gradually disappear at the end of the road, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, blessed himself with underwater breathing magic, and jumped off the bridge.
Thump!
With a splash of water, he finally came to the bottom of the river and began to look around for suspicious places.
Know that a small fork on the map often means that it may actually be a dozen kilometers of river channels.
What's more, the Euphrates is not a small river, but a super-large river with a length of more than 2,800 kilometers, which can almost be said to be the lifeline of the Middle East.
Add to that the variety of creatures and algae in the water, and finding a temple that was completely submerged thousands of years ago is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng can confirm an approximate location at present, that is, the distance from the urban area of Lujie.
In order to speed up his exploration, he used his almost infinite magic power to create thousands of arcane minions in one brain.
Although these guys have no intelligence at all, they are extremely sensitive to energy, and even the slightest bit can attract their attention.
Under the carpet search of the Olympiad minions, it took about 20 minutes for Zhang Cheng to find a very suspicious place.
It is located in the middle of the city, just above Resala, the largest district in Fallujah.
The riverbed seems to be nothing on the surface, but in fact, there is an indescribable mysterious energy constantly releasing from below, so that the surrounding aquatic creatures dare not approach.
When a grass carp passed by, it seemed to encounter a mysterious invisible force field, and as a result, it flicked its tail and circled it in a big circle.
"It seems that this is it!" Zhang Cheng thought in his heart.
However, he did not rush to make a move, but first carefully checked the surrounding environment to make sure that there was no protection, traps or anything like that, and then he thrust the supreme authority of the artifact into the mud.
In a few moments, the large amount of silt, clay and gravel at the bottom was carried away by the strong current, slowly revealing the hidden buildings below.
To be exact, it is a temple dedicated to an unknown god.
In the center of the temple, there is a round pillar made of bronze that is still as good as new, neither rusty, nor has grown algae or shells under the perennial baptism of the river, and exudes a golden glow.
At the top of the column, there is a rectangular groove, the size of which corresponds to the previously obtained slate.
Obviously, this is the entrance to the second seal.
Embedding a stone tablet covered in cuneiform script will allow you to enter the ancient seals set by the ancient gods of the two river valleys and face the powerful guards.
"Master, are you going to go in one of them?" the Supreme Authority suddenly asked through the telepathic link.
"Why not? Do you think I can't beat a single guard now?" Zhang Cheng asked with a frown.
"No, I mean, why not call Adam, who can help analyze the battle so that he can get a rough estimate of the sleeping gods. The Supreme Authority took the initiative to explain.
For this tempting proposal, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and immediately shook his head and refused: "There is no need for this. I wouldn't be foolish enough to open more than four seals before I have enough strength to awaken all the gods from their slumber. My plan is to open a seal first, confirm what the power of these seals is, and then decide what to do next. You see, the woman who claims to be the Creator is not my ally, but may be my enemy. ”
"Oh, what do you mean...... Maybe these gods are not enemies, but potential allies?" the Supreme Authority's tone was full of surprise.
"That's right, remember my usual style, and before you find out the truth, it's better not to choose sides too easily, or else you'll ......."
"Otherwise, you will become a fool who is used by others!"
"Yes, I don't want to be taken advantage of by anyone unless they can afford it. But unfortunately, the Creator seems to treat me as a free coolie and wants to send me away with a few words. ”
"Hey, I think she'll regret her stinginess one day. ”
