Chapter 456: Ancient Undead
Sabrina lay on the ground, looked at the distant black tower in the middle of the fire, and muttered, "Rachel, you must be joking with me, right?"
Rachel gripped the rock with both hands and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm not kidding." ”
"Tell me, then!!How are we going to get over the lava?!!!
Rachel pressed her back against the rock, and moved towards the cave step by step, the wind blowing her long hair, the heat scorching her skin, and without the slightest fear on her face, she turned back to Sabrina and said, "No matter when and where, there is always a road ahead, as long as you can take the first step." ”
Watching Rachel slowly walk out of the cave, Sabrina first glanced behind her, then gritted her teeth and stood up, walking towards the cave in the face of the strong wind.
Walking out of the cave, Sabrina realized what the road was in Reicher's mouth.
Beyond the entrance of the cave there is a winding path that leads down the rock wall into the distance.
Stepping onto the platform, the loose rocks under her feet and the gushing spring made Sabrina feel 100,000 spirits and walk forward cautiously.
It was a perilous, long and arduous journey, and it was the first time in her memory that Sabrina, who had lived for so many years, had stepped into such a hostile environment.
If it weren't for the advancing woman in front of her, guiding and encouraging her, Sabrina would probably have turned around and returned.
After walking forward like this for almost an hour, the tall black tower in the distance grew taller and taller in the field of vision.
Sabrina, who borrowed the girl's body, was already sleepy at this time, looked at the breathtaking majestic structure in her eyes, and said breathlessly, "What is that?"
Rachel played with the broken hair in her ear and said softly, "The Beacon Tower, the abode of the Absolute Will. ”
"Absolute will?
"According to the Presbyterian Church, the Absolute Will is the beginning of all things, the origin of the universe. He has different forms in the eyes of different people. ”
Sabrina looked at the tower in Richel's mouth and asked incredulously, "You mean, the Presbyterians are here because of this tower, and what exactly are they trying to do there?"
"It is rumored that the Absolute Will can transform an ordinary person into a god in the world. ”
Sabrina laughed, "Is this kind of thing possible?"
Seeing Richel's serious face, Sabrina's eyes widened: "Are you serious?"
"Yes, in the Christian Dead Sea texts, the Tablets of the Gods, and the Chanting of the Old Gods, there are descriptions of the Black Tower and the Absolute Will. However, under the deliberate cover of believers, these records are either vague or simply erased. ”
Sabrina pondered for a moment, "You said earlier that Eliad was secretly doing something, could it be that he wants to become a god through this power?"
Rachel shifted his steps and continued towards the Beacon Tower, saying, "You'll need to find out for yourself, but what I can tell you is that soon you will realize that the truth may be even more terrible than you think. ”
Sabrina, full of suspicion, followed behind Reichel and continued to walk towards the goal step by step.
Soon, the two of them came to the cliff below the giant tower.
Rachel gestured to Sabrina, taking her steps softer and not making noise.
The two climbed up to a narrow hole in the rock wall and followed the crack in the stone to a large hall.
Blazing lava flowed down the mountain wall like a waterfall, and smooth obsidian paved the entire space. A tall altar is located in the center of the hall, and the ground below the altar is painted with an inverted pyramid and several lines of unknown significance.
The masked servants were busy in the hall carrying all kinds of experimental equipment and materials.
Their master, Elder Eliad, stood in front of a large machine powered by geothermal steam, carefully observing the compass above.
Barrels and barrels of black, viscous liquid were poured into the machine, and they flowed down the countless huge pipes behind the machine, through the obsidian floor, to the sea of magma at the end of the hall.
"What the hell are they doing?"
Rachel didn't answer Sabrina's question, but just beckoned to the former, motioning for him to follow.
The two of them stepped on the high rock wall, carefully bypassing the people in the hall and crawling towards the higher part of the hall.
Climbing the stone steps at the top of the hall with her hands and feet, Sabrina looked down and looked down from a height of tens of meters, and the person was the size of a fingernail.
With the force of her feet, Sabrina tried to climb over the last step of the stairs, but the rock where she landed loosened, and a large piece of rock broke off the rock wall and fell straight to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Sabrina's face turned pale, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Rachel stretched out his hands and used his "mental power" to firmly hold the falling stone, and pulled it upwards little by little.
After dealing with this sudden crisis, Rachel let out a long breath, nodded at Sabrina, and continued to climb up.
The two of them came to the zenith directly above the hall, which was a small platform covering an area of less than 100 square meters, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a hand-dug suspended bridge leading to the body of the huge black tower not far away.
Looking at the pale blue light flowing on the tower, Sabrina noticed that Richer had stepped on the suspended bridge, and walked towards the tower without hesitation.
"What do you want to do?" Sabrina followed behind Richel, looking terrified at the deadly sea of magma beneath her feet.
Rachel said as she walked, "I'm going to confirm some of the things that the Absolute Will has said to me......"
Sabrina suddenly realized: "It turns out that you, like Eliad, also want to be the god of this world!"
"No, it's not. Richer turned back to Sabrina and said, "I don't have any interest in becoming a god, I care about some other role of the Beacon Tower......"
"Sabrina, when I touch the Beacon Tower, my consciousness will be out of my shell, and if there is any movement, I need you to wake me up. ”
"That's enough! I now understand that you didn't trick me into coming to the Council of Elders to help me get rid of Eleanor!" Sabrina said disappointedly, "You're just doing it for yourself!"
Richer shook her head slightly: "When you find out the meaning of my words, you will understand that I am not lying to you...... After I touch the Beacon Tower, everything that happens here will prove everything I said. ”
"Of course, if you don't believe in me anymore, you can also turn around and leave, with questions and regrets, and leave here forever. Rachel turned around and continued walking towards the Beacon Tower, "The decision is yours. ”
While Sabrina was still hesitating, Rachel had already walked in front of the Beacon Tower. The latter closed his eyes and placed his hand on the cold metal surface, and the pale blue light suddenly began to circulate faster, and the light became brighter and brighter.
Like an empty shell that has lost its soul, Richer is connected to the beacon tower, never to move again.
After waiting for a while, Sabrina found that everything was calm and there was no so-called vision, and she was disappointed that she was going to give up everything that was meaningless and turned around to leave.
At this moment, in the sea of magma below the cliff, some unusual phenomena suddenly appeared.
A large number of bubbles bubbled out of the surface of the magma, and the tongue of fire above the lava jumped higher and higher, and there was a faint tremor on the ground.
Confused, Sabrina walked to the edge of the platform and leaned on the ground to look down.
The next scene scared her so much that she almost fell off the high platform.
Accompanied by the violently spurting magma and violently shaking the earth, a monster head with a diameter of more than twenty meters drilled out of the magma.
The skull was red all over, its epidermis was covered with huge folded scales, hundreds of eyes of various sizes were scattered between the scales, and a large bloody mouth full of sharp teeth let out an earth-shattering roar towards the sky.
"Oh my God! what the hell is that?!" Sabrina scurried back, only to find the head peeking out of the magma higher and higher.
Its body is like a centipede, divided into segments, each with many wriggling tentacles, and each linked to a pipe that constantly pours black liquid. Even if you look at it cursoryly, the length of this monster's body exposed to magma has exceeded two hundred meters.
After making a circle around, the monster pointed its head at the beacon tower, squirmed, and pounced in the direction of Richer and Sabrina.
Sabrina, who had no time to think about anything else, lunged up to the suspended bridge, grabbed Rachel's shoulders, and pulled her off the beacon tower.
Like someone who had been rescued from a drowning experience, Rachel snapped open his eyes and gulped in a big breath of air.
"Monsters, monsters are coming!" Sabrina shook Rachel's shoulder vigorously with one hand, and pointed at the rapidly approaching lava monster with the other.
Reicher froze, as if she had expected this to happen, and pulled Sabrina into a path above the platform.
Listening to the monster's roar, Sabrina, whose body was still trembling, asked Rachel, "What is that?!"
Richer said calmly, "Aren't you looking for a way to get rid of Eleanor? ”
"Wait, that guy, you say?" Sabrina looked at Rachel in disbelief, "You mean, that monster used to be a human?!"
Rachel smiled and turned her head to Sabrina: "You must be familiar with his name, the ancient sage of the alien race, the greatest alchemist of Ancient Terro, Sutherland......"
