Chapter 21: The Book of Spells: Gems (I)
[Today is an outbreak, don't forget to vote after midnight, the first update]
Seeing that Salin asked for its name, the little devil hesitated to look at the other people, and said to Salin: "My lord, the name of the demon must not be known to outsiders. Are these all your wives?"
Salin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, they can't understand your language." ”
"My name is Agareth Sabes DiCapria Ani Andosis Sacpis. "The little devil said a name that wasn't too long, at least not very long for the demon.
"Well, if you follow me in the future, you'll have to choose another name. Are you a man or a woman?"
"I don't know ...... yet"
"Aren't you an adult?" Salin was surprised, this little demon had been locked up here for tens of thousands of years, and he was not yet an adult. Some demons need to be adults to determine their surnames, but this Salin knows very well.
The little devil was a little ashamed, no matter how low the level of the ordinary demon was, it would mature within a thousand or two thousand years. But the space in which it is held is weird, and it just can't continue to grow.
"Then you can change the appearance of Chengren at will. Salin ordered.
The little devil ate a few fish, regained some strength, and began to perform Transfiguration. The demon's transfiguration is not an illusion, and it cannot be distinguished even if you touch it with your hands. After ten minutes of hard work, the little devil fell to the ground panting, having completed its transformation technique.
The little devil turned into a tall woman with long black hair, eyebrows, slightly deep eye sockets, and a slender neck. Her (it) upper body was dressed in a rudimentary jacket, thin enough to see through the fabric. The lower body was wrapped in a long skirt, but there was an extra piece of animal skin. The two pieces of clothing are somewhat similar to what Sika was wearing originally, revealing a delicate and plump waist.
This dress is indeed similar to the human beings on the murals tens of thousands of years ago. Saleen didn't bother to correct it, just like a human. But the little devil's taste is good, and the woman she has become has a noble demeanor, and she can't be violated, but her eyebrows are gorgeous, forming an alternative temptation.
"That's good. Salin also didn't want the people around him to be ugly, he was already worried about the demon's aesthetic ability, but now he was relieved.
"Of course, I'm in the form of Goddess Myers. ”
cough, cough cough......
Saleen coughed desperately. This little devil is really bold, and he even dares to blaspheme the appearance of the goddess!
"My lord, don't you like it?" The little devil noticed Salin's mood swings, and Saleen calmed down, thinking to himself, the goddess Myers has fallen for so long, and there is no more magician in the temple of nature in this world, and I am afraid that no one will remember the appearance of the goddess Myers. Forget it, the little devil's strength is insufficient, and it costs a lot to cast a transformation spell.
Looking at the little devil lying on the ground, Salin couldn't connect this image with the goddess Myers. He shook his head and said to the little devil, "That's good, you can call Neris in the future." ”
"Master, what's your last name?" said the little devil who had changed his name to Neris was very happy. She started calling Master Salin, which was a good sign that she was able to adapt to her identity very quickly.
"My name is Saleen Metatrin. A look of gloom flashed across Salin's young face. When will this surname be seen again?
"From then on, my name was Nylise Metatrin. Master, is it okay?" the little devil asked cautiously when he saw that Salin was in a bad mood.
"Well, yes, you can tell me about this space...... No, the situation inside this temple. Salin looked around, his magic torch still not extinguished, and was stuck on the steps by Sika.
"This is the altar, the center of the temple, surrounded by three floors, a total of twenty-four halls. ”
"Oh, this is the Temple of Nature!" Salin was surprised and disappointed, he had thought that this temple had been secretly built by some unknown god to the believers, ready to compete for the followers of the goddess Myers. If it were a natural temple, there wouldn't be any oil and water in this ruin. The goddess of nature advocates simplicity, and in this place that has just been repaired and abandoned, there can be no magic props, and there can be no artifacts. To Saleen's surprise, the goddess Myers was the common belief of the entire continent back then, so why did she build a temple in secret?
As long as the goddess issued an oracle, even the emperors of the First Dynasty would not refuse. The goddess can choose the address of the temple anywhere on the mainland, and according to the power of human beings back then, a larger temple can be built in a maximum of a week.
History will always unconsciously drown out some truths.
Remembering the words in a magical notebook, Salin stopped thinking about the strange question, and said to Nellis, "This is the altar, and the main shrine is in the back?"
"Yes. The little devil replied obediently, but she was lying on the ground, a little indecent.
"How long do you have to rest?"
"Master, it's only a twelfth day, I'm so tired. The little devil quickly explained. She was not yet an adult, and it would take two hours to weaken after performing a Transfiguration Technique, and she was afraid that Saleen would think she was useless, so she looked at Saleen's eyes pitifully.
"There's no danger here, is it?" asked Saleen.
"No, all the dangers have been eaten by me, but there is a constant magic array around this temple, and I can't leave. ...... hosts"
"Call me head in the future, by the way, you should learn a new language, this language, not many people on the mainland can speak now. Since there is no danger, you wait here, and I will go to the main temple to have a look. Salin briefly explained, and then said to Canghong and the others: "I'm afraid this ruin won't gain anything, but it's hard to say." This is the ruins of the temple of the goddess of nature, which has not yet been inaugurated. Let's go to the main shrine and have a look, maybe there will be some gains. ”
Pale Red also followed the light of the magic torch to see the surrounding pattern clearly, he was a mercenary who walked outside all the year round, and the meaning of the pattern of the way of nature. Hearing what Salin said, Pale Red was even more disappointed. In this expedition, he not only spent a lot of savings, but also lost most of his men.
"Don't be discouraged, this temple is very ancient, maybe the main temple will have a book left, just take a copy and sell it, it is also worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Salin comforted Pale Red, feeling that something was impossible. According to the description of the little devil, this temple was simply abandoned by humans.
Crimson barely bounced up, and followed Saleen around the altar to the back of the altar. The stone wall in the middle of the altar is actually a pillar, which is mistaken for a wall because it is a square column. The square pillars were carved with frescoes, and Salin noticed that in the frescoes on the front, there was indeed a woman who resembled the image of the little devil.
After the fall of the goddess Myers, most of the temples on the continent disappeared with the passage of time. However, in every empire, there are still some ruins, and the magicians have studied the layout of the temple, and it is easy for Salin to find a target.
The altar is followed by six passages, each of which may lead to the main temple. Salin took out the second magic torch and lit it, comparing it to the pillar in the middle of the altar, and in the light and shadow, a shallow trace appeared on the ground, pointing to the third passage.
The passage is long, because it is quite wide, but I don't feel depressed. The frescoes on both sides were lifelike, and Salin knew that it would be worth a lot of money if he chiseled them down and sold them, but unfortunately he didn't have that much strength, and it was a bit unreasonable to say that he had been given the Gift Ring of the Goddess of Nature and destroyed her temple.
Passing through the corridor, there is another huge space. Salin held the magic torch high and looked towards the center, rejoicing. In the middle of the main hall is a house. The whole house is carved out of black steel stone, with slender windows and columns to resemble trees.
This is the abode of the goddess, and the priest surnamed the female lived in it, waiting to receive the oracle or the goddess's arrival at any time. It seems that this temple is not half-done, the most important part has been built, and there can be some gains in it.
There is no statue of the goddess of nature, and the rooms around the main shrine are places where believers live, and the whole space seems empty, without the mystery of the Holy See.
"Let's take a look around. With that, Salin took out two magic torches from his backpack, handed his own torches to Sika, and then released the fluorescent spell, walking alone to the room in the middle of the temple. Pale Red hesitated, separated from Sarah, and went to look in the rooms around the temple, hoping to get something out of it. He also knew that even if he wanted to fight with Salin, he would not be able to fight for anything. Salin still has no intention of extinguishing his mouth, and he is already very merciful. Or maybe his heart is too soft. If she doesn't know the times and makes the magician angry, the Caucasian female warrior will immediately catch herself and feed the demon.
The abode of the goddess generally has six rooms, a bedroom, a prayer room, a preaching room, a book room, a magic room, and a lower room. The first thing Salin entered was the mission room, the only large window where the priestess preached every week, facing the thousands of believers in the temple square.
The room was empty, with a wooden bed in the center. The ministry lasts for a day, and every four hours, the pastor rests on her bed. Salin researched the wood and found that it was just ordinary pear blossom wood. It has not decayed in the long river of time, it is entirely because this space is isolated from the world, and it seems that time has not flowed.
Behind the mission room is the prayer room, where the priestess conducts her daily work, and where she communicates with the goddess Myers. Except for the extra decoration of the room, it is also empty. There was nothing Saleen wanted.
Behind the prayer room is the book room, which looks like a nobleman's study, with large bookshelves.
Salin's gaze fell on the center of the bookshelf, where three books were placed. There were thousands of books in this room, but there were only three on the shelves, and Saleen stepped forward with some excitement and released a detection magic.
There are no traps, no magic circles. The three books lay quietly on the shelves, as if they had been waiting for tens of thousands of years, just for the arrival of Salin.
