Chapter 45 The One True God
This group of warriors all had the strength to approach the Sanctuary, and behind them, there were also three strong warriors who were obviously taller and burly, all of whom were already powerhouses of the Sanctuary level, and the long and thick curved horns on their heads showed their extraordinary status.
It was clear that these warriors were of high status among the barbarian tribes, and when they appeared, many barbarian civilians prostrate themselves on the ground and shouted praises.
But this did not bring them good luck, and when the Ogre High Lord stopped in front of them with a hundred costumed knights and a cruel smile, the end of the battle was already doomed.
It took Richard a morning to defeat all resistance and capture the valley, followed by a thorough search of the valley by worker bees and other combat units.
Richard examined the warriors who rushed out of the cave, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a warrior formed by the blood of demons." ”
Aceris looked around and said, "I smell the abyss. ”
"And the fallen gods. "Brood replenishment.
"The smell of death is also strong. "This is Sandru.
Richard did not rush into the cavern, but let out his senses, exploring the rules of the surrounding space and the direction of energy.
Unsurprisingly, in this valley, the rules of the Faroben plane have changed many times, and energy has converged from all directions, like a bubbling stream, into the depths of the valley's subterranean.
"Let's go, go inside. Richard was the first to enter the cavern, and his followers rushed in.
The cave is actually an unexpectedly vast world, very Richard entered a naturally formed huge space, here is hundreds of meters in a circle, nearly 100 meters high, the four walls are carved several stone staircase passages that circle up and down, and there are dozens of passages connected here.
The floor of the hall was engraved with a huge magic array, and three huge pools more than 100 meters long were carved out in the center, and black and red mist was swirling inside.
A pool in the center was empty, with a huge skeleton on the left and right, a humanoid skeleton on the left, also a hundred meters high, and a giant beast skeleton on the right, with six-legged wings and a forked tail in the middle, turning into two whip tails.
The left and right skeletons were wrapped with some black gas, and no obvious muscles had been generated, and the deep pool in the center had obvious breath, and the giant killed by Richard should have been lying here.
When he saw the skeleton of the giant beast on the right, Richard held his breath for a moment, the characteristics of this skeleton were too obvious, and the aura was strong and distinct.
This is the skeleton of a star beast, although it should be a juvenile star beast in terms of size, but the complete skeleton of a star beast is extremely rare even in Norland, and each large star beast bone can be used to make space props.
The value of this star beast skeleton is still higher than that of the giant who was killed, and the skeleton in the pool on the left, although Richard has not had time to study and understand what it is, the powerful rule power contained in it has already revealed its value.
At the edge of the three great pools, some barbarians in gray robes were busy, who looked like sacrifices or shamans, and when they saw Richard enter the hall, they all exclaimed in shock, and they all put down their work and greeted them.
A barbarian, who was too old to look good, took a few steps forward and said majestically to Richard: "Get out of here, intruder, you have trampled on the holy land that belongs only to God, and now you can be forgiven, or else the greatest and only god will be wrathed, and his wrath will burn the earth, and his guards will tear you to pieces." ”
Richard smiled slightly, pointed to the giant pool in the center, and said, "Guard, do you mean the huge guy who was lying here, if it is, then unfortunately, it has been torn to shreds by me, oh, forgot to say, I am very happy with its heart and bones." ”
When the old barbarian heard this, his whole body trembled, and he did not know what to say for a moment, when he suddenly let out a roar of great grief and indignation, and slammed into Richard.
Without Richard having to make a move, Zong Hu next to him stretched out his foot and tripped up, causing him to fall to the ground, groaning in pain for a while, and losing the ability to get up.
The barbarians in the belly of the mountain were almost without any force, and were easily defeated, but the interrogation that followed was very unpleasant, and these barbarians were more stubborn, and refused to say a word about what kind of punishment to use, and they were strong-willed, and all kinds of spiritual temptations were fully effective.
Just as Richard was restrained, Aceris walked up and whispered in Richard's ear: "Your Highness, I have a way to get them to speak, but the process is not so pleasant, and I need to avoid it." ”
Richard hesitated, then nodded.
Aceris waved all the barbarians to a nearby room, and a moment later there was a hoarse scream of exhaustion, the kind of pain that felt from the soul just by listening to it, and the expressions of Richard's long-sladen followers were somewhat unnatural.
After a long time, the screams finally died down, and Asiris walked out with a normal face, and said to Richard: "Your Highness, everything you need to know has been asked. ”
The dark magician asked the word in an indescribable awkwardness, and Tiramisu muttered something to himself, while Splash frowned, unwilling to look at him more.
Richard looked at it all in his eyes, and knew in his heart that although some of his followers were already stronger than Aceris in strength, their experience and ruthlessness were compared to this kind of dark priest who had experienced several battles.
Aceris forcibly extracted the soul memories of the barbarians, and the memories obtained in this way were only scattered fragments, and the dark priest pieced together the memories of dozens of barbarians to get a complete answer, but after the memories were extracted, these people were completely mutilated and could no longer recover, and from then on they became idiots with only shells.
Aceris sorted out his thoughts and said, " Your Highness, the duty of these people is to maintain the operation of the magic circle here, and guide the barbarians living in the valley to worship the so-called one true god, similar to the role of the priest in our church, in addition, they will also monitor the operation of the entire magic circle, and adjust the energy gathered, allocate the use, in the past three hundred years, most of the energy has been used to resurrect the giants in the central resurrection pool, and a small part is used to create divine warriors, that is, those barbarian warriors we encountered, the three resurrection pools are lying in the messengers of the true gods, they need time to resurrect, and in less than two hundred years, the ancient giants in the center can fully wake up。 ”
"What is their purpose. ”
Aceris said, "Open the passage of the plane and let the true god descend directly to this plane, so that the power of the plane will be increased, and it will become a complete and strengthened world." ”
Richard scoffed at this statement.
In addition to the gods of the original plane, once the powerful beings of other planes enter a certain low-level plane, the first thing they do is to transform the plane environment, and even change some of the plane's rules to make it suitable for their own survival.
Such a result will undoubtedly have a drastic impact on the creatures of the original plane, and even the direct extinction of life is very likely, which is already common knowledge in Norland, even if the magic apprentices know it, but these faroese barbarians obviously can't understand so much.
Therefore, any attempt to invite the true gods to come down is a stupid suicide in the eyes of a legendary mage like Richard, not to mention that most of the so-called true gods are the Great Lords of the Abyss, murderous and cunning.
Whether it is human beings or barbarians, even including the native gods of Faro, the longest has gone through hundreds of thousands of years, and how can it be possible to deceive and take advantage of these great beings who have been stored for millions of years, even if it is a fair trade, there are few successful examples.
Richard first gave the split-brains a preset command, and then flew to a protruding platform on the cave wall, from which he could look down on the entire magic circle.
Richard set up a portable workbench on this platform, and began to reproduce the giant ** array in the hall, and studied the secrets in it.
Hundreds of worker bees began to explore the halls in the belly of the mountain, and as they went deeper, the map of the mountain structure in Richard's mind was rapidly plumping.
Very much, the secret caves in the mountain have been discovered one by one, most of these caves are closed, and each cave has a magic circle similar to the hall.
The walls of the cave were carved out like a beehive-like lattice, and the lattice was equipped with steel cabinets, and the worker bees opened several steel cabinets, which were filled with a yellowish translucent liquid with a faint rancid smell.
Each steel cabinet was soaked in a barbarian warrior, most of them mutilated, and white filaments floating in the broken wounds.
Richard immediately put down his work and rushed to these secret caves to investigate.
After careful inspection, Richard confirmed that the magic array in the cave had some kind of function of gathering energy, which could be regarded as a reduced version of the giant ** array in the hall, and the barbarians in the steel cabinet relied on the energy gathered by the magic circle to stay alive, and the broken body could be gradually repaired after a long time.
A barbarian with an intact skeleton, or some other creature, would turn into one of those zombie warriors that Richard had eliminated if he had been immersed in these steel cabinets for decades.
In the magic circle of the cave, the same pale yellow liquid flows, and it is like blood, transporting the energy it carries to all corners of the circle.
Richard found that there were several metal pipelines leading to the depths of the earth beneath the circle, and those strange liquids were transported up through these pipelines, circulating in the circle for a week, releasing the nutrients and energy they carried, and then returning to the depths of the earth from several other pipelines, and so on.
The giant ** array in the hall hadn't had time to examine it in detail, but these pipelines showed that this mountain peak was far from as simple as it seemed, and deep underground, it hid the true secrets of the Origin Land.
