Chapter 172 Breaking into the Temple
In order to ensure the safety of the underground temple, the pope simply blocked the last passage to the underground temple, and Sinai did not object to this, because in the past hundred years, the church has made countless attempts and suffered extremely heavy losses, but there is no way to enter the temple of the Night Lady.
The flickering candles on the table gradually burned to the end, and Richard finally finished reading the last notebook,
In these old notebooks, there is a secret history of Faro, which records the battle between the two gods that have been entangled for hundreds of years.
Norland has a complete theological theory and a complete divine system, but because of the high degree of development, the divine order is very stable, and there are few gods who fall and change, and there are few new gods, but Faro's divine war is primitive and tragic, and it does everything to the extreme, but it allows Richard to observe the divine war from another angle, so as to have a deeper understanding of the divine order system,
Seeing this, Richard already knew where Sinai's mistake was,
The Night Lady's temple is a realm of its own, the stronger the people sent in, the more fierce the attack by the starrays, and the life force absorbed by the stars can be transformed and replenished with divine power, as if it is never exhausted, unless it is strong enough to suppress the night lady's divine power rules, it is possible to break this cycle,
The correct way is to let a large number of lower beings enter the temple to die, in order to consume divine power,
But Richard has a real talent to see through the cycle of divine power behind the stars, and even if Sinai guesses the rules, he can't calculate this limit, he just tries to send some ordinary people in to die, but there is no result in sending thousands of people, and Sinai doesn't dare to try again,
In the next two days, Richard asked the worker bees to dig and widen the passage of the Temple of the Night Lady, while cleaning up and counting the harvest in the temple.
Late at night on the third day, the star chrysalis arrived in the temple city with the newly produced worms, this time the star chrysalis transported more than 50,000 worms, and the kilometer-long body was full of flesh-white worms, and in the rear, seven flying flies transported the follow-up 30,000 worms, which was about a day's journey behind.
When the mayflies arrived, the worker bees had dug out a huge square outside the temple of the Night Lady, enough to hold all the worms, nearly 90,000 worms, and it was extremely spectacular to look at, if you think of a worm as a person, then the worms in the square are equivalent to the entire population of a large city,
At this moment, the entire temple surroundings, as well as the exit of the ground passage, are completely occupied by the brood unit, and the knights of the principality are not allowed to approach at all.
Richard looked at the majestic temple and gave an order in his consciousness,
The worms at the front began to crawl, like a white tide, pouring into the temple of the Night Lady, and the temple's defense mechanism was activated accordingly, and the starlight continued to fall from the void, and the sea of worms below continued to rush to the depths of the temple at full speed.
There are constantly worms crawling and crawling and not moving, and subsequent worms will crawl directly over the corpses of their companions and continue to move forward.
The stars in the temple rained down, and the worms were endless,
After a while, Richard could clearly feel that the temple's divine power reserves began to slowly decline, and the strategy finally worked, so Richard ordered again, and all the worms in the square that had not yet moved began to crawl, and poured into the temple of the Night Lady in an orderly manner.
I don't know how long it took, there were less than 10,000 worms in the square, and the corpses in the main hall of the temple were piled up, and the corpses were nearly ten meters high.
There was a sudden click directly above the temple, and an obvious crack appeared on the statue of the Night Lady in the main hall, and the eyes carved from black crystal were shattered into countless small pieces, and the entire temple began to shake slightly, and the stars gradually faded away, and finally all disappeared,
The defense system that made Sinai helpless for hundreds of years finally collapsed at this moment, and there were only more than 2,000 worms left alive, this number was still beyond Richard's expectations, which also means that if Sinai wanted to fill it with human lives, it would have to be ruthless to take out 100,000 believers.
After experiencing the blood sacrifice curse, Richard knew that Sinai was absolutely ruthless, but without seeing any hope, how could Sinai be willing to give up this blood.
This defense of the Night Lady is not only extremely subtle, but also makes full use of Sinai's cautious and suspicious character,
Richard pointed forward, and all the remaining worms poured into the temple and crawled to all corners, their mission was to find the rest of the traps and trigger them, paving a safe path for the future with their own lives.
In the blink of an eye, worms were all over every corner of the temple, and there seemed to be no other mechanism in it, in fact, a single starlight defense could block Sinai for hundreds of years, and there was no need for other defenses at all.
Richard walked towards the temple, and the last fortress of the Night Lady was finally completely open to Richard.
Richard passed through the main hall and through a portal before entering the true temple of the Night Lady.
The inner sanctuary was carved into the wall one after another, and in each niche stood a knight with a sword in both hands, who had obviously been here for hundreds of years, but instead of rotting, their faces were ruddy, and if Richard had not noticed that there was no soul in their empty bodies, he might have thought that these knights were not dead at all, but only asleep.
Richard walked up to a knight, observed him carefully, and touched, the knight's skin was still soft, and the internal functions of the body were intact, but there was no soul, it was an empty shell, Richard probed the flow of life force in the knight's body, and under the insight, the knight had no secrets at all,
After a while, Richard finally figured out the direction of his divine power and life force, and couldn't help but be amazed,
When there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the life force absorbed by the stars will be sent into the bodies of these knights, and then through a process similar to belief and prayer, it will be transformed into the divine power of the Night Lady, and it will return to the divine power reserve, supporting more stars to attack the enemy, these knights are not sculptures, nor ornaments, but the core of the entire temple defense system,
Richard had thought of combining the living form with the magic circle like this, but it was not finally realized, which was too demanding for the living body, if the cost was calculated, it would be better to design a few more magic circle function modules to achieve similar functions.
Richard inspected the knights one by one, and when he turned around the walls of the inner sanctum, the whole design was basically clear.
These knights must have been fanatical followers of the Night Lady, who had the strongest faith in their lifetime and were willing to guard the underground temple for the Night Lady, so they were chosen and eventually became part of the defense system.
Regardless of whether the method is cruel or not, this defense system itself is full of genius ideas, and even Richard, who is a holy constructor, is extremely impressed, no matter what else is in the temple, it is worth the trip to get this defense system,
Richard continued to inspect the temple, and what appeared in front of him was a large complex of buildings, consisting of more than a dozen halls of various sizes, extremely functional,
There is enough equipment to arm a thousand knights and tens of thousands of warriors, and it is still intact, and to Richard's surprise, there is also a very large library in the temple, covering everything from history, magic to magic,
Richard casually took a few books and flipped through them for a while, many of Farrow's missing histories before the invasion of the Star Beasts, as well as the unsolved mysteries, can be found here, of course, the history after the fall of the Night Lady is gone,
If these books fell into the hands of any historian or theologian, they would be ecstatic, and for Richard, they were also of great value, especially the many records relating to the gods.
Among them, there are the experiences of the gods from a mortal to the ignition of the divine fire, as well as the secret records of the gods' conquests, as well as the legends of the gods and the invasion of the alien plane or the battle between the legendary powerhouses of the plane.
Those that can be included in the private library by the Night Lady must have been tested by her, and it is impossible to be false, after all, the Night Lady was mixed with medium divine power with a thin priesthood, but the corresponding God of the Day is a weak divine power, if the gods also have high and low talents, then the Night Lady must belong to the list of geniuses,
Faro has been closed for a long time, and just as he was opening up, he encountered the invasion of star beasts, and then the covenant of the gods, Faro closed the door to the outside world again, cutting off the opportunity to communicate with other planes and even the main plane.
But because of this, Faro's divine warfare is quite primitive and chaotic, which happens to be another side that Richard has never had the opportunity to see, flipping through these most authentic records of divine warfare and gods, Richard's understanding of the entire Faro plane rules is getting deeper, no wonder Faceless was able to observe and experience Norland's plane rules from the basic training of foot knights,
Of course, Richard can't do faceless Cheng dรน now, but these records in his hands, in Richard's eyes, are not just historical stories, they are just a thin veil away from the direct description of plane rules.
At this time, information kept coming from everywhere, and most of them were discovered by worms and worker bees who were exploring everywhere.
Most of the buildings in this temple complex turned out to be warehouses, in addition to a large number of weapons and armor, there are also mountains of magic and magic scrolls, and there are not a few rare mineral materials, and these treasury materials alone are enough to revive a sect.
This temple is obviously the last nest that the Night Lady prepared for herself, and the gods are all able to spy on the long river of time, perhaps at that time, the Night Lady was already uneasy about the future, so she began to build this underground temple complex,
Richard was not in a hurry, he had been flipping through the books in the library, for him, these books were the most precious harvest, more valuable than other resources combined, and he watched quietly for a day and a night, until a worker bee found the entrance to the basement level,
When Richard stood at the entrance, he saw a staircase that stretched down diagonally, the slope was very steep, and the end was completely hidden in the darkness, and he didn't know how deep or far.
And Richard just stood at the entrance and felt a wisp of breath wafting in, that breath could not be smelled, and could not even be experienced with perception, but could only be captured by real talent,
That's the breath of divine power,
