Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hitting (Physics) to Open the Door

From the time Joshua decided to go to the giant pyramid to the time he arrived, it didn't take much time to be honest, and it only took a few minutes in total. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The speed of the golden powerhouse's flight can break through the sound, with the fluorescent white mist as the coordinates, everyone does not have to worry about losing their bearings, and naturally quickly arrived at the side of the huge pyramid.

From the side, you can see that there are obvious traces of weathering and erosion on the tracks of this miraculous moving fortress, and the erosion of magic and matter by the surrounding environment has inevitably turned these once perfect creations into the appearance of rust all over the place.

However, on the other hand, on the huge silver-white trapezoidal pyramid, Joshua unexpectedly did not see any traces of time erosion, and he even noticed that on the smooth three sides of the pyramid without steps, there were actually countless reliefs, but because the reliefs were too huge, and there was really no bright light source in this world, he couldn't notice it at all when he watched it from a distance.

At the top of this relief are white clouds, and below it, there are countless totems of various birds, and at the bottom are the patterns of the earth and the sea, with mountains, cities, people, and huge ships, as if a whole world is painted.

The crystal ball suspended at the bottom of the tower is naturally a symbol of the sun - just like this world, the sun is shrouded in darkness, the sky is dim, and the golden light in this crystal ball is also very weak, as if it will be extinguished at any time, but even so, it faintly exudes a sacred and orderly power, maintaining its own form.

"Indescribable magnificence...... However, it stands to reason that more than 1,000 years have passed, so why does it still maintain such a good appearance? ”

Joshua stopped in mid-air, he looked at the huge building in front of him, and thought seriously: "Such a huge fortress has not been destroyed by the Aragami, there must be a certain means of self-defense, and there is a certain danger in approaching it rashly...... We need to test it first. ”

Without hesitation, he immediately gathered a red fighting qi in his hand, and then 'sent' to the vicinity of this pyramid from afar, but the strange thing is that this fighting qi did not encounter any obstacles, but slowly shrunk by itself, and then naturally dissipated before it came into contact with the silver-white steel relief.

"Is it a predatory defense...... In this case, it is not harmful. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Joshua learned a lot of information through the temptation just now: "The reason also makes sense. ”

Rin, who was carrying it on his back, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Master, I think that the aura of the divine machine I felt before did not come from the wreckage of the divine machine underground, but from here. ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the middle area of the huge pyramid: "The breath is inside, and it's very obvious. ”

"Inside?"

After a moment of silence, Joshua turned sideways, and he said to Moriath and Cleel behind him, "Both, let's get ready to land." ”

This was the purpose of the crowd, so it didn't take long for the crowd to land on the pedestal of the mobile city.

Mottled rust spread across the entire steel base, and on this metal slab large enough to hold a city, there were clearly visible signs of decay, and it was covered with dense and strange cracks, even the traces of moss and mold left by the past could be clearly seen.

In addition to admiration, Joshua also found that since he came to this base, the negative state on his body suddenly disappeared, and at this time, the warrior felt as if he had returned to the normal world, and no longer had to spend energy to deal with the invasion of the chaotic forces outside.

But just as he was looking around for some clues that might have been left behind, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I've found a complete skeleton here, come and take a look."

Moria's voice was as loud as all the other dwarves, even if she was old and hoarse, but it was enough to reach everywhere. Joshua naturally walked quickly, and when he followed the old dwarf's gaze and looked down, he saw a corpse that was almost turned into white bones in the crack of the steel earth at the base.

Kleel also came here, looking at the skeleton, she used her magic power to conjure up three phantom rattans, carefully poked into the gap, took them out, and sent them to everyone.

Joshua crouched down and carefully observed the unclothed bone, and within two seconds, he had roughly recreated the image in front of the bone's owner.

It is a race that resembles humans in appearance, with similar facial features and bodies, but in different places, it has one or more pairs of wings and more fragile bones. As for the internal organs, according to the distribution of bones, the position and performance of the other party's organs should be very different from those of humans, which can be seen from the fact that the other party's ribs are a plate bone, not a strip.

"This skeleton is a bit like the Aronyi people who were extinct due to environmental upheaval before the Age of Legendary Light."

Kleel also saw a hint of familiarity: "In the Druid Historical Witness Hall in the Far South, there is a collection of fossilized bones of the Aronwing man, and there are indeed similarities with this skeleton. ”

"But it doesn't help us where we are now."

Standing up slowly, Joshua's brows furrowed, and just as he was about to say that he would look for other peculiarities, Joshua's eyes suddenly froze.

He could faintly see a few characters in the smudge next to the bones.

"Wait."

He immediately set the skeleton aside, and then brushed the surface of the steel base with his fighting spirit, sweeping away the stains, rust marks, and all kinds of messy dirt, and suddenly, dozens of obvious characters appeared in front of Joshua's eyes: "Here are words...... It's an iron plate that collapsed many years ago, and if you don't look closely, you really can't find it. ”

Without saying much, Joshua simply swept away all the dust and rust on this iron plate, and suddenly, a small stone slab that was extremely smooth, about three meters long and two meters wide, appeared in front of everyone.

"I can't read the text."

After looking at it for a while, the old dwarf simply shook his head and said, "At first glance, it does have similarities with the lingua franca, but in fact it is completely different. ”

Cleel hesitated for a moment, and pronounced out a word or two: "Even though the Crystal Sun ......" but it was only one or two words, and the elf shook his head as well: "This language has a trace of similarity with the astral language, but only a trace." ”

Naturally, Joshua couldn't understand it at all, he was originally the son of an earl in a rural place - the Northland is indeed a rural place - how could he distinguish such a high-end thing as a different world language even if he added it to his previous life, how could he distinguish such a high-end thing as a different world language?

But I don't know how to go back - but he has a system!

"System, translation."

With Joshua's order, a progress bar loyally appeared in front of his eyes.

40%,42%,46%…… 100%

The progress bar jumps quickly, and after only a few minutes, the system prompts you to say that the translation has been successful.

"It's not a magical language, it's just a lingua franca, and it's not difficult to translate."

Joshua looked at the translation result given by the system and read it out:

"Even if the Bright Sun of Heaven is extinguished, we will use the elements as a furnace to reforge the Crystal Sun."

"Even if the heavens and the earth decay, we will also use steel as a dome to reshape the land of life."

"The people of Karlis will never give up, even if the world is destroyed, we will struggle to survive on the bones of the world."

In addition to the opening sentence, which resembles a propaganda slogan, there are many words and sentences of praise written on the steel plate at the back, and some general course of their history is also written, which is similar to what Joshua knew from the old butler's secret letter, even if there is a slight discrepancy, he does not pay much attention to it.

Overall, after roughly reading this iron plate, Joshua finally understood why this mobile fortress under him was built.

The Karlis, as we call them, were once a magical civilization with extremely advanced alchemy, and their Void Ships were able to enter and exit the Astral Void and travel through multiple worlds, and they had a name for themselves in the multiverse. Their great alchemy is theoretically capable of destroying the entire surface of the earth and reshaping the world's ecosystem.

However, due to the sneak attack by a certain Void Evil God, the essence of their civilization was destroyed, and the civilization style was restrained, the pure energy magic energy firearms could not cause great damage to the evil god clan - Aragami like vindictive spirit and live ammunition firearms, causing them to be defeated again and again in the process of resistance. After the Great Battle of the Plains, they could not even defend their home world, so they could only retreat to the major mobile war fortresses to resist the tide of Aragami army.

In the process of resistance, their alchemy has advanced by leaps and bounds, the completion of the divine machine is getting higher and higher, and the mobile fortress is also getting bigger and bigger, and to some extent, they can fight back a little, but because the entire Karlis world is eroded by chaos, the [Heavenly Fire] Sun is gradually extinguished, causing the earth to fall into a cold winter, everything decays, and they can no longer survive, causing them to almost wipe out...... At this time, it was proposed to create a new ecosystem in the man-made environment - that is, the source of the huge pyramid fortress under the feet of Joshua and others.

The rest of the history doesn't describe much, but Joshua knows that this move did not lead them to success, and in the end, when the people of Karliss finally saw a glimmer of victory, the body of the Void Evil God was finally able to stretch out a tentacle and descend on this polluted almost world, completely crushing their resistance - the divine machine was cast from Aragami Crystal as a raw material, and it did not have a self-will like Joshua's Hotaru and Rin, how could it resist the call of the evil god? Naturally, it is a war against the water.

"It seems that the giant crystal ball should be the 'Crystal Sun' in the inscription."

After reading all the words written on the slate, Joshua looked up at the huge crystal ball at the top of the pyramid that shimmered with a faint golden light in the eyes of Moria and Cleel looking at the otherworldly creatures, and he muttered to himself: "According to the energy fluctuations I feel now, in my heyday, I can really emit a light similar to the sun...... And the nature that Kleel feels should be the man-made ecosystem in its body. ”

Behind the slate, there is still some content, but those contents are nothing more than signs to guide the way, and the location where Joshua and them are now is the place where the Kallis landed their airships and transported people, and this slate is used to introduce the history of the fortress and guide the way.

Ignoring the old dwarf and the elf are similar to 'how does he understand?' ''Is this person human?'' After waiting for the incredible eyes and Rin's adoring eyes, Joshua pointed to the crystal sun at the top of the pyramid in front of him, and said to everyone: "If you want to enter the pyramid, you must first go to the top sun, accept the purification of the sun's radiance, and make sure that you don't have the seeds of chaos in your body, and the entrance is also on it." ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Sighing deeply, Moria, who felt that he was really old, said, "Let's go." ”

So everyone walked on the steel base and walked to the steps of the pyramid.

Joshua could feel that the closer they got to this silver-white pyramid, the stronger the power of order became, and the less negative states the gray mist caused to them, and even a faint positive state emerged. However, on the other hand, the fighting spirit in his body became more and more unable to be released, and the surrounding order was strengthened to a terrifying level, and without the power of permission, there was no way to use it outside.

As a warrior, Moria's face was a little ugly, but as a half-French class, the elf druid's face was a little ugly, and Rin, who was a psionic creature in human form, was being carried on his back by Joshua at this time, with a weak face.

The crowd was not slow to advance, and soon they reached the top of the pyramid.

Rin and Cleel were the first to say their praises in front of the huge crystal sun, as Joshua had instructed, and then a few golden rays of light shot out of the crystal and sank into the bodies of the two of them, expelling a large black mist. Later, Cleel felt that she could use the spell again, and Rin regained her spirits.

The old dwarf and Joshua purified their bodies one after another, but the strange thing was that Joshua's body did not have any chaotic filth at all, it was clean, as if she was not in the same world as Moria.

After all the personnel were successfully purified, they came to the entrance written on the iron plate.

After trying, the old dwarf faced the closed steel door in front of him, and said strangely: "What's the matter, we obviously did what was recorded on the iron plate, how could it not work?" ”

"I sensed that there was actually an energy reaction inside."

"But there seems to be something wrong, the door doesn't open," Kleel whispered. ”

"Strange."

Moria tried several more times, but he couldn't open the mechanism, and he was immediately a little annoyed: "What the hell is going on, how is it that the mechanism of these Kallis people is not even as good as goblins?" Although the things of those dwarves occasionally shock people's hearts and explode, they are still so useful! ”

He ignored the fact that he wasn't much taller.

"Master Moria, get out of the way for a moment, I'll try."

Joshua pushed the old dwarf aside, he took a deep breath, and then used the fighting qi in his body to burst out the power of his body's limit!

【God's Power!】 】

The shock wave was wrapped in infinite energy, and the blood rushed like a river, and in the shocked eyes of the others, Joshua put out both palms and hit the steel door of the integrated structure, and suddenly let out two dull knocking sounds like the ringing of a big bell, and when he looked closely, he saw that the warrior had inserted his ten fingers into the crack of the door like a steel drill!

Rumble! Boom Boom!

The muscles were agitated, accompanied by a piercing scraping sound, and this door, which was more than ten meters close to three or four stories high, and could enter and exit the huge alchemy machinery, was opened little by little by a warrior who was extremely small compared to it!

Joshua continued to exert force, his energy was scattered, and there were even translucent air turbulences around his body, and with the whistling sound of a long whistle and the harsh sound of metal twisting and deformation, the steel door that was originally as immovable as a mountain was completely 'beaten' open by Joshua with brute force at this moment!

"Whew."

Taking a breath, Joshua dissipated the power that erupted in his body, and the skin that had turned red due to the blood flow also returned to its original color, he looked at the door in front of him that was torn open by him and the entrance behind him with satisfaction, and nodded: "I said yes, what mechanism can maintain a perfect state for hundreds of thousands of years?" Even if it could, it would be impossible in this rotten fireless world. ”

He beckoned to the crowd behind him, who were almost looking at monsters: "Let's go, we have to buy time and explore the inside of this pyramid as soon as possible...... It's best to find some supplies. ”
