Chapter 317. Underground Temple Ruins (Part 1)
Standing up to leave the hall, Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel that was still stained with oil.
The food prepared for this banquet was indeed abundant, although it could be seen that it was prepared in a hurry, but those fresh ingredients were indeed the delicacies that they loved during the trek, and they could only eat air-dried meat and bread.
In fact, even the "Drehem" castle in the sentry oasis can't eat such fresh ingredients.
A bounty from the Sanwaya Mountains.
The mountains are rugged though.
But the abundance of natural resources is amazing.
The Rhodok people are inhabitants who live in the mountains, and they have a good ability to adapt to the Sanwaya Mountains, and now, when they come to the Sanwaya Mountains, they have established their own new Aaron, new towns, which can fully make the Rhodok people once rely on their proud tenacity habits, excellent survival ability in the mountains, and give full play to them.
Whether it's the exploration of the surrounding mountains or the exploitation of the nearby mountains, these Rhodoks are at ease, and even with the help of the Ravenstonians, who are also suited to fighting in the mountains, they have cleared the vicinity of the threat.
For example, those carnivorous creatures, and even more terrifying demonic creatures, including the gnolls scattered in the Sanwaya Mountains.
It has been swept away.
Even if there is an occasional fish caught in the net, it is not too threatening.
Almost every few days, a hunting party of Ravenston rangers and Rhodock's skilled crossbowmen will once again sweep the surrounding hills and streams to ensure the safety of civilians as they move around the area.
Relying on the 5-meter-high walls built along the rock formations on the mountainside, and the 7-meter-high arrow towers, they moved very quickly, and as the trees on the surrounding hills were cut down, the space inside and outside the walls was cleared, adding a bit of safety, and as long as there was a danger that the hunting party could not deal with, the infantry guarding on the city wall could go to support at any time.
He wears a heavy chain of armor lined with iron armor and linen robes, a thick helmet, a heavy machete like a halberd in both hands, a broad shield like a small door panel on his back, and a Rhodok sword at his waist.
This is the burly and strong, rock-like soldier of the Rhodok Mountains.
Top tier 5 infantry.
The defense is extremely strong, even if it encounters the strongest infantry at level 6, the Nord royal guards can fight.
If you fight in the mountains, the axe-throwing effect of the Nord royal guards is weakened, and these Rhodok soldiers form a halberd phalanx to fight against the enemy, or fight in close combat with broad shields and swords, and their combat effectiveness can surpass the Nord royal guards, which can be called a bunker on the battlefield!
With such a high defense, even demonized creatures can't break through the defense, and they work together with each other, with excellent military formations, and are strangled in the trapped cage.
It is a more powerful and ferocious demonic creature, combined with the ranger and the sniper crossbowman, and the same miserable death!
A cave on the side of a hillside.
In order to prevent demonic creatures and demons from appearing inside, Jem Ste deliberately arranged for 10 of the strongest Rhodok sergeants to be stationed on a small platform outside.
Every day, there are patrols armed with torches to patrol the ruins of the temple inside.
Stay safe.
After all, this cave is connected to the ancient passage, although the cave dungeon has been explored, but in fact, Kant's exploration has not completely worked, in the area of the cave dungeon, the underground river and the ancient passage, but also lead to a deeper place, a place that has not yet been explored, an unknown place!
Even if there are still demons and demonized creatures, Kant will not be surprised, so before leaving, he also asked James to guard this place carefully to ensure that there will be no accidents.
James, of course, was unusually strong in his guards, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
If there is a real danger.
Their towns will be hit most directly!
The walls were built slightly above the bottom of the mountain, just outside the cave, so it can be said that if an enemy rushes out of the cave, it will be the inside of the town.
Although there is still a fence at the top of the hill.
But it's only half a meter high, and even with the help of the arrow tower, it's basically useless.
It's just a vigilance, lookout, and command.
Of course, thankfully, there have been no enemies in the ancient passages, and the temple ruins underground are very peaceful under strict defense.
There are no anomalies.
Armed with torches, the Rhodok soldiers were the first to enter the cavern and enter the ruins of the temple.
Behind was Kant, who was following with the civilians carrying four long ladders, and as the temperature dropped, the cold breath flowed, and soon from the cave that extended downward, after walking through the stone gate, into the ruins of the temple.
"It's a miracle."
The mages from the Einface Empire exclaimed.
Even the well-informed lion knights looked up in surprise and looked at the ruins in front of them with a look of amazement.
They had not yet come, even the seven mages who had seen all this still had emotion on their faces, and they had a kind of heartfelt admiration for the glory of the Age of the Gods and the Ancient Era.
Purely in terms of architecture, in the ancient era of the gods, those gods were no less than the Einface Empire.
This is a brilliant, commendable achievement!
Inside the vast space, the huge statue of the god is carved from the rock formation, and although it has been slightly blurred with the passage of time, you can still see the majesty of the once victorious period, which is enough to shock the soul.
The rock formation overhead, there are two dim pillars of light refracting and illuminating, making the entire temple ruins dim at any time, but it can also be faintly distinguishable at close range, just like the moonlight at night shrouded in dark clouds.
At the bottom of the two feet of the statue, there is a coffin on the platform.
Next to them were two bodies lying flat.
Vaguely, one could see the golden robe and the black robe, parallel to each other, and seemed to be opposites, with a hint of mystery in the dim light released by the sun's disk.
That is the goddess and witch who were killed by Kant.
and an inner coffin enclosed in a stone coffin and made of gold throughout.
"Be careful!"
Bandak commanded from the side.
Ahead, the farmers are holding a 10-meter-long and 3-meter-wide, slightly rough wooden ladder, carefully coming to the side of the underground river, following the roaring water, with the help of the solid stones on the shore carefully leaning the ladder against the edge of the stone platform in front.
The other farmers' ladders also leaned over and were easily placed in two sections, just right off from the underground river.
A rudimentary wooden bridge based on a wooden ladder was built.
The farmer climbed up carefully, made sure that the wooden ladder was stable, walked to the stone platform and came back, and then reported to Bandak and the others, indicating that it had been successfully built.
"Lord Kant, it's all right."
Bandak reports.
"Hmm." Kant nodded, but ordered behind him, "Let the ranger go up and have a look." ”
"Yes!"
Ten Ravenston Ranger responded immediately.
Holding heavy bows, they walked quickly to the side of the underground dark river, stepped on the wooden ladder and walked lightly to the stone platform, cooperating with each other in an orderly manner, and some people pulled out their two-handed swords behind their backs and quickly checked the stone platform.
There was an anomaly there, two women who had been turned into corpses.
Care has to be taken.
The mages were behind Kant, looking at the stone platform, their faces equally solemn.
The 18 people discussed with each other in a low voice, and their faces were cloudy and uncertain about the aura that was still lingering around them, especially for the two corpses.
The voice was so loud that it caught Kant's attention.
"What's going on?" Kant asked.
"We're seeing something different."
The mages reported: "Those two corpses seem to be the combined products of pure positive energy bodies and negative energy bodies, how to put it, although they look like humans, they are more similar to Lord Bandak. ”
"I don't understand." Kant frowned.
"Well, it can be understood that you don't need to exercise, you are born with an extraordinary physique."
The mages explained: "Look at Lord Bandak, it still needs to be developed, and those two corpses have been developed, and they are truly powerful existences, but they can also feel that this pure power has almost dissipated, and they have lost their lives again, leaving only the last bit of pure elemental power." ”
"Got it." Kant shook his head, in fact, he still didn't understand spells.
"Safety!"
Ahead, 10 Livingston rangers searched the stone platform and waved after making sure there was no danger.
Kant turned to the mages and said, "Let's go and have a look." At the same time, he commanded the lion knights: "Follow closely, and if you encounter danger, protect these mages first." ”
"Yes!" The lion knights immediately responded.
The mages are in poor health.
It is estimated that even the physique of the level 3 infantry is not comparable.
can only be regarded as a healthy adult, and it cannot be compared with Kant, who has been instilled with the body of a knight.
What they are good at is academic research, studying spells, and they are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so mages are better at casting spells from a distance, rather than hand-to-hand combat with swords like knights at close range!
Cautiously, they stepped on the wooden ladder and stepped onto the stone platform on the opposite bank.
The stone platform at the foot is carved with circles of patterns.
Esoteric and majestic.
It seems to be the supreme ornament handed down from the ancient era of the gods.
Kant had seen all this in books, and after so much exploration, he now knew that it was a unique ornament of the sun deity, a symbol of divine might.
But now he is trampled under Kant's feet.
He stepped forward.
Lion knights and mages crowd around.
On the outside is the Livingston Ranger with a heavy bow and a two-handed broadsword.
If it weren't for the limited weight of the wooden ladder, those heavily armored and fortress-like Rhodok sergeants would have come to protect them personally, after all, they are the best infantry in close combat, and they are the best candidates to protect Kant.
But with the transcendent Lion Knight, there won't be much of a problem here.
It's just the mages squinting.
Looking at the two corpses, and then looking at the golden coffin inside the sarcophagus next to him, surprise appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It turned out to be such a huge ... Strange things! ”
