Chapter 708: Land of Inheritance I.
The large building in front of me is centered on a tall building.
With its tall, pointed roof, Dean was the first thing he could see about the iconic building throughout the complex.
Moreover, such a tall and pointed tower is not from the beginning, but a sudden protrusion after passing through a gentle, square roof.
It's like a mountain on flat ground.
Dean fell from the sky and stood at the doorway of the tall building.
Two tall, thirty-foot-tall statues, divided into left and right, stand in front of the door.
The faces of these two statues are not clear, they are very blurry, and even the whole body is extremely rough, with a style that is different from the statue that Dean is familiar with!
Only the sword and shield in each hand can be distinguished at first sight.
Castle Temple in the Sky!
After looking at these two iconic buildings, Dean has confirmed that he has arrived at the necessary destination.
Without hesitation, Dean passed through the middle of the two statues.
The temple does not have a gate.
When Dean passed between the two statues, he had already stepped into the temple in the true sense of the word, and the entire interior of the temple was as wide as the shape of the building.
Wooden chairs, with an arc, lined up neatly toward the center of the temple.
There, a 100-foot-tall statue stands.
And it is precisely because of the existence of this statue that the roof of the entire temple is so protruding.
"Do you want to build an entire temple with a statue as the core?"
Dean muttered softly.
Then, his eyes looked at the wooden chairs.
These are arranged in a special arrangement of chairs throughout the temple hall. There are a thousand of them. And this number is also the largest number of god-descendant nobles in the entire Sky City.
In fact. This number is quite a long time ago.
Now, the nobility of the entire Sky City is far less than at that time, and it is already quite a good situation to be able to sit on a third of it.
These are all things that Long Lang told Dean.
And Dean looked at it, and some subtleties in the chair arrangement and chairs confirmed Takashiro's words.
Even, it's a lot less than what Long Lang told.
Up to about 200 people!
Each chair here represents a descendant of gods. When this godborn dies, it will naturally have his descendants to inherit it, and if there is no heir, it will be vacant.
Therefore, even every time the chairs are reorganized.
However, there is a fundamental difference between a chair that has been occupied for a long time and a chair that has been left all the time.
Paint peeling, abrasion marks.
These are details that must be paid attention to for Dean, who was once an assassin.
Then, Dean's gaze returned to the tall statue in front of him.
Like the two statues guarding the door outside the temple, rough and indistinct. It is the style of the statue in front of you, only the weapons and armor are very clear.
A long sword that reaches between the waist and belly of the statue. It stands there lifelikely, with the statue's two hands stacked on top of each other.
It's like an old knight.
On the Godez, most of the knights, in old age, asked the painter to leave a portrait of themselves.
And most of the action is like this.
There is not only the idea that he will not be able to wield the sword, but also the idea that he will be able to spend his old age in peace.
In short, it is a portrait that makes people feel the twilight of the hero, but with a hint of anticipation.
In almost every family of jadeite, there is such a portrait.
Dean has seen quite a few of them.
However, Dean has never felt that sharp and restrained as he does now.
That's right, it's sharp and introverted!
It's not that I've given up wielding a sword and is looking forward to a new life.
It's just plump and introverted, for the next sharpness.
"What do you expect from the Castle in the Sky? Still is? ”
Dean looked at the statue again with a slight groan.
According to Takashiro, this statue is their ancestor.
Of course, it is definitely not carved according to myself, and the kind of roughness and ambiguity has already been explained.
And the feeling of the expression on the statue speaks to the hope of the carver.
That is, the hope of the people of the Sky City.
Not the current generations, but the first ones!
This statue was originally built here, and the shrine was built later!
It doesn't seem like much, but when it comes to some of Tatsuro's introductions and Sky City's escapist attitude, Dean keenly notices something different.
Seem...... Something happened in between!
Otherwise, Sky Castle's escapist attitude is really too strange!
It's completely different from what is contained in the statue.
After thinking for a moment, but not coming to any conclusion, Dean shook his head and walked briskly behind the statue - he had not forgotten his original purpose.
Behind the statue, there is a long corridor.
If the previous place was a place that the nobles of Sky City could set foot in, then this was a place that only a few people, such as the elders and the lords of Sky City, could set foot in.
Because, through this corridor, it is the inheritance of the entire Sky City!
However, Dean didn't take the step right away.
His gaze was drawn to the layers of tombstones lining the side of the hallway.
At a glance, the almost endless tombstones tell how many gods are buried here.
"At least more than 100,000!"
After a brief estimate, Dean couldn't help but be shocked by the number he had reached.
First of all, he knew that the gods who could be buried here were all nobles of Sky City.
Secondly, because of their bloodline, the Divine Descendants were born with extraordinary strength and a much longer lifespan than ordinary people.
And being able to accumulate so many tombstones, Dean couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of the history of Long Lang's so-called Sky City.
Because. According to Takashi Lang. The entire history of the Castle in the Sky is only about 1,200 years.
1,200 years to be able to accumulate 100,000 deceased gods?
It is calculated according to the life expectancy of a normal divine descendant between 150 and 200 years old. It's really incredible, unless there are a lot of them, but Takashi has denied it himself.
Moreover, it was said before that the city in the sky had only appeared for a thousand years.
The words of the two could not have been lies.
So what's really going on?
With such doubts, Dean moved forward again.
Through the long hallway, Dean entered a circular room with a ceiling entirely made of crystal. All it takes is a few candles to make the whole room shrouded in light.
The elders of Sky City live here, but there are no beds here, several soft couches appear here instead of beds, and in the center of the whole room, an incense burner appears there, and at this moment, there is still smoke rising inside.
The familiar smell made Dean sure it was a soothing incense.
Some aids that are often used for meditation or reading. It can make people more calm and focused.
Dean to aid in reading. To improve efficiency, such incense has also been burned.
Looking back, Dean saw a bookshelf more than one person high, with nearly a hundred books placed in an orderly manner.
Books are undoubtedly the best way to get information.
However, in the face of too many cluttered books, it is really not something that Dean, who lacks time, can allow.
But Dean has a fairly simple way of discerning -
Some important things will never be placed in the light.
This is a habit that people are in the habit of being protected!
It's also some kind of bad roots!
Dean began to quickly search around the couch.
In just a few minutes, Dean had gained a lot, a scroll and two books, written in the lingua franca of Godez.
The record is a transaction with the Free Commonwealth.
Dean wasn't surprised.
Behind the Free Federation is the shadow of the Sky City, which is a predestined thing.
Otherwise, even if the Free Federation is isolated overseas, it will definitely not be able to escape the countries. Invade. Outline.
Moreover, with the desolation of the city in the sky, without the trade support of the Free Federation, let alone the construction of a city, I am afraid that even the most basic livelihood cannot be guaranteed.
After a cursory look at it to make sure there were no more important discoveries, Dean opened the scroll.
It is a scroll written in a rather ancient language.
Luckily, Dean, who had studied magical inscriptions, was not ignorant of such an ancient language.
Even if it's a bit jerky to read, it's still able to read it.
And this scroll made Dean very rewarding.
Because, what is written on it is about the 'Blood Curse'!
There are even some extension techniques of the 'Blood Curse'!
Immediately, Dean began to read more carefully, hoping to find a way to crack the 'Blood Curse', but in the end Dean was disappointed.
Although it almost says a qiē of the 'blood curse'.
But there is no how to crack it!
Even, the above has mentioned more than once that there is no solution to the blood curse, and the middle one must die.
And from those words, Dean felt a strong sense of pride.
A high-minded appearance instantly appeared in Dean's mind.
And this made Dean feel even more annoyed.
"There can't be no crack! It's just that I'm not looking for the right direction! ”
Dean shook his head and muttered to himself.
At the same time, his gaze was on the very center of the room: the position of the incense burner.
This is an incense burner half a person high.
From the outside, there is nothing of nature.
However, the road to the land of inheritance lies beneath the incense burner.
Click!
Dean stepped forward, and according to Long Lang's description, he found the machine spring, and with a crisp sound, the incense burner moved silently, revealing a staircase large enough for one person to pass through Guò.
According to Takuro's words, and after confirming that there were no problems based on his own experience, Dean stepped straight up the stairs and walked towards the inheritance land that went deep underground.
At the same time, several figures suddenly appeared in the void, and they quickly found the place where Dean had first fought Malcolm and the others, dressed in standard robes.
"There's a Moko vibe here!"
One of the robed men shook his nose and said in certainty.
Then, he walked straight to an open field and waved his hand.
Suddenly, a large area of land was turned up, revealing the corpse of the leader of the 'seekers'.
