Chapter 253. The old man in the temple

After all, Kant had learned a lot.

In the academy of the Lion Castle, after studying the systematic subjects, he would choose to read some other books.

For example, historical biographies, regional travelogues, and the like.

These are Kant's favorites.

As a traverser, he must first understand the history and civilization of this world, so that he can roughly understand it in his heart, and then make corresponding means to quickly improve his strength and reputation.

Of course, even if he reads a lot of books, the question still exists for now.

This stems from information asymmetry.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the historical materials of the Age of the Gods were so scarce that they could only be imagined.

There's no way around it.

Even on the earth, tens of thousands of years, there are only fragmented myths and legends that can be handed down, even if ruins and a few fragmentary antiques are found, it is only a few conclusions that can be drawn by guessing.

Not to mention this feudal era that is still in the period of cold weapons.

Without systematic archaeology, it is impossible to connect the results obtained by archaeology, and it is also impossible to excavate the history hidden in time, which is undoubtedly an archaeological and historiographical sadness.

is something that any scholar laments.

This is the case with Kant's teacher, the Hank Scholar.

He spent decades, which could be called a lifetime, just to find the Lost City.

And this is exactly what there are only one or two sentences in historical materials and myths, but they actually exist, but the truth is hidden in the dust of history, and there is no remnant of history that can be found.

Kant can now prove to be true.

Because the cave dungeon he is in now may have a great connection with the Lost City.

But these are secondary.

Kant's most important thing at the moment is to deal with the aftermath.

This majestic dungeon, built in a karbern, is already under his control.

Explore everything in the city, find anything of value, loot treasures that may have been left behind in antiquity, and if Kant wanted to, he could also choose to occupy the dungeon permanently.

After all, according to Kant's observations, it is still possible to live here.

Fresh water has underground rivers that flow uninterruptedly.

Supplies can be transported by rivers and embankment roads.

And the most important thing is the perfect houses and buildings in the city, according to Kant's current estimates, in terms of the size of the dungeon, even if the population living 5000+ is not the slightest problem.

This was indeed a small town in feudal times.

You must know that at the beginning of the Middle Middle Ages on Earth, the population of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, was only 20,000+.

But the disadvantages here are equally obvious.

Kant looked up at the rock formation above his head, on which a large number of shimmering mosses and fluorescent mushrooms had grown.

The glittering light is gentle like a light veil, releasing soft light, so that the entire cave is bathed in a light as soft as moonlight, and the beauty is intoxicating, as if it comes from spiritual comfort.

It's like a moonlit world.

But this is the shortcoming, which makes Kant hesitate.

Without sunlight, it means that it is impossible to cultivate, not even to produce, except for relying on rivers to develop fisheries or transportation, there is no future at all, it can be said that Kant does not have the foundation to develop this cave dungeon, and can not even occupy it permanently, but can only be used as a refuge in times of crisis.

But even if it is used as a refuge, the village of "Aaron" on the outskirts of the Sanwaya Mountains can also do the same, after all, the castle of "Drehem" in Kant's is extremely stable.

What's more, "Aaron" will soon be promoted from village chief to town.

If there is an enemy, you can break through the castle of "Drehem" and then capture the town of "Aaron".

So what if you escape into this cave?

It's not that they will be chased and killed, continue to use the strength that Kant can't resist, easily break through the defensive offensive of this dungeon, even if it can't be attacked, there is no dungeon with a large amount of material reserves, and the siege can also besiege Kant and them to death, and there is no capital to resist at all!

Sighing slightly, Kant still gave up the idea of occupying this place, after all, it really did not have the ability to develop this unproductive and unpromising dungeon.

"My lord, there's nothing unusual around."

The Livingston Rangers, who had gone out to inspect the surrounding streets and houses, returned.

His face looked more relaxed, and he reported to Kant: "The houses are empty, and it seems that this dungeon should have been abandoned by its former inhabitants a long time ago. ”

"yes, I see." Kant nodded.

In a dungeon sealed with demons, it is natural to evacuate the inhabitants.

Kant had already thought of this.

The Ranger Captain looked at the Maya-like pyramid temple in the middle of the mountain, frowned and guessed: "Maybe we can find something valuable there, I don't know why, in our minds, we are all a little throbbing to the temple over there, this strange feeling reminds us of the Empire's snake worship." ”

"Do you feel weird too?"

The mages who came over opened their mouths and nodded to Kant: "In that temple, positive energy and negative energy are very strong, competing with each other, maybe we should go over and take a look." ”

"Is it dangerous?" Kant asked, frowning.

"Nope." The mages replied, "We do not perceive any signs of life. ”

"That's good."

Kant beckoned, signaling all the surrounding soldiers to assemble.

Together with the Swadian knights, they dismounted and walked towards the end of the dungeon, the temple of Maya-shaped pyramids built against the mountain, and gathered in a procession and walked briskly.

They were vigilant, but they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

The central avenue is 30 meters wide, and the houses on both sides can still be seen with ornate carved ornamentation.

They are all sun-inspired patterns that Kant was familiar with.

However, if you look closely, you can see that those Sun Sacred Patterns have now cracked.

And just in front of the door of the pyramid temple, a huge pit had appeared in the ground, and a huge stone coffin had been completely opened, and there were a large number of pitch-black, black flesh-like flesh eggs around it.

But by this time the eggs had withered, as terrible as dead corpses.

"Whoosh-"

Arrows roared, and the Ravenston rangers raised their bows in solemnity.

The sound of falling to the ground was heard in the shadows of the houses not far away.

"There is a situation."

The ranger spoke, his tone calm: "But it's all settled." ”

The Rhodok sergeants walked quickly towards the place where the sound was, entered the house with the door wide open, pulled out a few small demons and horned demons with arrows in their eye sockets, and reported in a deep voice: "It's those demons who escaped in!" ”

Kant looked at it and said, "It's not really a threat. ”

A bunch of low-level demons.

Even if it is twice the size of the previous reappearance, it will be torn to pieces by his current level 5 troops.

So to speak.

Level 5 has become the pinnacle of human conventional combat power.

If you want to rise again, you may have to consider the mysterious supernatural power.

And when the time comes, the upgraded class can no longer be called a level 5 class, maybe the level will be higher, such as the level 6 class in other magic mods, the level 7 class, and even the top level 8 ace class and so on!

As long as it complies with the rules of this world, the mod of the system can appear in this world.

Finish the remaining lower demons.

Kant led the team on their way to the Maya-shaped pyramid.

The huge stone building, with a humanoid statue of nearly 5 meters at the top, also holding a sun disc made of gold, is facing the small light at the top of the mountain, flashing a faint halo.

This is from the time of the gods and symbolizes the power of the sun god.

The mages became solemn.

Standing behind Kant, he clenched the staff in his hand and reminded softly: "There are powerful gods who have descended here, and we can sense that the subtle divine power is still remaining in this temple, although it is inaudible, but as the place where the gods have descended, some rules have been permanently changed. ”

"Is there any danger in this way?" Kant frowned, he didn't have a good impression of the gods.

"Don't worry, my lord, there's no danger here."

The mages continued, "The gods have been gone for a long time, and the rules that have been changed are about to be erased by time. ”

Kant nodded: "That's good." ”

This time I didn't come to the temple to check on security.

If there is anything, such as strange things, artifacts, gold and the like, he will not be polite, he can pack them all and take them away in minutes, and even when he has time, he will come across gems inlaid in stones, gilded walls, he is willing to buckle or scrape them off with a dagger and take them away.

Thousands of years of borderlands, occupied by the demons of the abyss, and then the dungeons that he seized became his territory, and everything in it was his spoils.

Taking away his spoils, Kant had no psychological barriers.

There can't be either.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, the glory of the gods has long since faded, and whoever has the biggest fist now is the truth.

Of course, in the current situation, Kant's fist is undoubtedly bigger.

Even the Abyssal Demon fell in front of his troops.

"Safety!"

Sergeants of Rhodok, who were exploring the way ahead, beckoned.

"Let's go." Kant turned his head to look at the houses on both sides that had been destroyed by the demons, and said in the same deep voice: "Cheer up, when encountering abnormal situations, when there is no hostility or a deadly attack, it is not allowed to attack without permission." After a pause, Kant added in a deep voice: "Except for demons." ”

"Understood!" The Livingston rangers behind them nodded in response.

That's actually what it says to them.

Sergeant Rhodok in the front, and Swadia knight in the back, are all melee warriors.

Defense-oriented.

When an enemy is spotted, these top archers are the first to attack.

The accuracy of the arrows is deadly.

If you encounter an unknown and powerful enemy, it will be really wronged to take the lead in attacking and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, at least Kant's troops can't bear too many losses, after all, Kant, who pursues too many elite soldiers, prefers to destroy the enemy army rather than provoke the powerful enemy to be targeted by the destruction of the enemy.

But as long as you are cautious, the enemies who can threaten Kant now with more than 300 people are simply delivering food unless there is an abyss demon as powerful as Amentik.

Soon came to the frontal base of the pyramid.

In front of you is a staircase that leads to the top of the pyramid, about 80 meters.

Look up slightly.

Kant looked up at the portal of the black hole at the top.

The main body of the temple is at the bottom of the statue, and from the bottom up, you can just see the stone statue holding the solar disc in both hands looking down at the bottom, just like Kant and them.

The heart was beating slightly, and Kant always felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

But at this point.

A dialog box pops up on the retina in front of your eyes.

【Ding... Temporary Task Release]

[Temporary Mission: Search the Temple]

[Reward: Doubling Recruitment (Constant)]

[Description: You have come to the foot of the temple and found mysterious transcendent fluctuations faintly emanating from it. You think you might be able to find some treasures from ancient times, and decide to search for them in the temple. 】

Ad-hoc tasks from the system.

Kant frowned slightly.

The current system is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, it is all a little indicative in it.

Since it is a search for the temple.

Then according to Kant's knowledge of the system, there is definitely something in the temple!

After all, it is an indirect prompt given by the system.

Turning his head to look at Sergeant Rodok who was waiting on both sides, Kant raised his chin and said, "Go up, open the stone door, and report the situation after making sure there is no danger." ”

"Understood." The 10 Sergeants Rhodok nodded and walked briskly up the stairs with broad shields.

Right at the top of the stairs.

At the bottom of the two feet of the stone statue, the entrance to the temple is blocked by a heavy stone door.

At this time, Kant looked up at the nearly 5-meter stone statue.

It is exactly the same as the 100-meter-high statue of the god carved directly on the mountain in the temple in the ruins of the mountain, and the face is exactly the same, except for the difference in movement, the ancient armor on the body, and the clothes are very similar.

Perhaps this is the god of the Lost City, the god of the sun!

His face is about 25 years younger.

The entire face is sculpted to life.

This technology is incomparable to human beings today, in Kant's impression, even the best dwarves are incomparable, perhaps in the direction of making artworks, only those mysterious and strange elves on the coast of Mannheim can compare, but Kant does not believe that the stone statues they can carve are so lifelike.

It's like a real living thing, ready to get rid of this crust anytime and anywhere.

"It doesn't feel good."

Kant frowned.

This kind of condescending look made him feel a little awkward.

Especially the indifferent eyes that swept over the stone statue, as if they were gazed at by the gods of the past.

However, the soldiers beside him did not feel this way, and stood in formation, carefully scattered to guard the surrounding several intersections, especially the areas that had not been explored when they came, holding their weapons and shields tightly, and watching vigilantly, any abnormal situation would attract their attention, as well as the eyes of the rangers who were also ready to shoot with bows and arrows.

Kant's order is here, but for them, if they really encounter an irresistible enemy, then it is equally important to be the first to attack and ensure the safety of the lord!

"Click..."

Overhead, the awkward sound of stones rubbing against each other could be heard.

The heavy stone door was pushed open.

The Sergeants of Rhodok looked at the entrance of the black hole, looked at each other, took out the torches they carried, lit them with a fire storage device like a fire breaker, and carried them into the alley.

The torches burned very happily.

The choking black smoke emitted by the burning grease soon flooded the top floor of the roadway.

But the Rhodoc sergeants did not go far.

After only about 5 meters, you came to the wooden door at the end of the alleyway, which was beautifully carved with patterns, and there were precious gilts and precious stones on the doorknob, which looked extremely beautiful under the flickering of the fire.

Reaching for the doorknob, Sergeant Rhodok slowly opened the wooden door.

"Woo-woo-"

A cold breeze poured out through the crack in the door.

The torches seemed to be swaying violently by this cold breeze, and for a while the firelight in the alley was suppressed, the temperature dropped by several degrees invisibly, and the light dimmed.

The cold wind blew outward, and it swirled around the burly bodies of the sergeants.

Then, with the whimper of some kind of wind being squeezed in the small space, the sideburns outside the helmets of the 10 Rhodok sergeants were waved, and they rushed out of the corridor and disappeared into the breeze.

Sergeant Rhodok at the front lowered his broad shield.

There was a little doubt between his eyebrows.

Looking at each other, they didn't notice anything unusual, but they had a secret palpitation in their hearts about the cold wind.

Having come into contact with fantasy force, they are no longer limited to the traditional force of Calradia.

They didn't find anything weird.

But at the bottom of the pyramid temple, the mages who were still waiting, their faces changed slightly.

Directly raised their heads, a slight wind gushed out of the laneway, making their faces change even more, frowning slightly, and reporting to Kant in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, my lord!" ”

"What's wrong?" Kant looked up, but he could not see the wind that had dissipated.

"Very strong negative energy."

The mage at the head raised his head, his eyes full of shock: "Even after thousands of years of weakening, we can sense the intensity of that negative energy, if at the peak, it is estimated that our group of people will be swept away by the storm formed by that negative energy, and we will be destroyed on the spot and become fools who know nothing!" ”

Kant frowned, looking at the solemn faces of the mages next to him, as well as the Livingston rangers from the Pander world who also had a sense of mysterious powers, he couldn't help asking, "What have you found?" ”

"Negative energy, rich negative energy."

The mage swallowed and foamed, stabilized his mind, and spoke: "Just now, a wind formed by the accumulation of negative energy gushed out of the entrance of the temple, which caught us a little off guard, but fortunately, after tens of thousands of years of weakening, it did not have any lethality. ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded, he just had to make sure there was no danger.

However, the mage frowned: "Something is wrong. ”

"What?" Kant asked.

"Yes, something is wrong."

The mage closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, repeating in his mouth, "It's really wrong! ”

"That's right, I feel it too!" The other mages nodded in unison.

They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"What's going on?" Condense's tone was slightly soothing.

These mages obviously sensed that something was wrong, and he had to know the details, so he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Tell me immediately, is there anything wrong in this temple?" ”

"It's... Yes. ”

The mage replied with some hesitation.

"Say." Kant said in a deep voice.

"That's right, Lord Lord, in this wind of negative energy, we have found a cold aura that only belongs to the dead, and this is the most significant characteristic of the undead in our perception!"

The leading mage frowned and explained, "It's in this temple! ”

"Yes, inside the temple!" Other mages chimed in.

"Undead." Kant's face was solemn.

The Rhodok sergeants behind him, the Swadian knights were equally solemn, including the Ravenston Ranger, who obviously knew something about the undead, after all, they were corpses that had risen from the dead, and as long as there was a war, some writers could always paint a terrifying picture through these broken corpses.

But no matter how you describe it, these undead who have come back from the dead, these corpses that should have been sleeping forever, should never appear in the world, this is equivalent to the most basic rule, and the boundary between life and death has been broken!

Kant knows more about the spirits of the dead.

After all, in the film and television materials of the previous life, the special race of the undead is not weaker than the demons.

What's more, in the world of war winds in which the mages live, there is a race of undead.

And it is divided into vampires and bones, and each has its own independent state!

As one of the powerful human powers, the Einface Empire has of course had fierce conflicts with these evil creatures, and even the Inquisition House owned by the country exists in order to solve those evil and filthy demons and undead!

The mages looked solemn.

Turning to Kant, he suggested, "My lord, inside the temple... Maybe it's a bit of a no-brainer. ”

Kant narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's be more detailed." ”

"There may be undead creatures."

The mage spoke, his tone a little hesitant: "Undead creatures do not have a time limit, but bones and flesh will become more and more decaying, of course, if they are powerful undead, even time cannot hinder them, in other words, soul fire is the source of their power, as long as it is not extinguished, it is equal to eternal life." ”

"What's going on inside the temple?" Kant asked.

"We need to actually go over and see it." The mages didn't dare to boast about Haikou, and said cautiously: "But in our perception, there is still a vague aura of the undead, because the negative energy has already found the characteristics of the cold undead. ”

And at this moment, the main entrance of the temple.

Sergeant Rhodok pressed down on the gilded doorknob and pushed open the fine wooden door.

With a long "squeak", the bronze door shaft was slowly pushed, allowing the entire interior of the temple to appear in front of them, dim and deep.

The torch was raised, and a light that had not been seen for a long time appeared in the main hall of the temple.

It is a hall of nearly 2,000 square meters.

But the Rodok sergeants widened their eyes, and the two people at the front even subconsciously took two steps back!

Bones, bones all over the ground!

And in the center of the end of the main hall, the old man sitting on a golden chair with a scepter in front of the statue of the god!

PS: Recommend a friend "Night Killing", the plot written is very brilliant, the protagonist slaughters the emperor level, the fairy grass of the dawn killing, even if you haven't played it, you can be a killer and it's very cool to watch. Don't blow it, don't black it, among the recommendations, this is my favorite to read, and it's definitely a guaranteed book absurdity!
