Chapter 63: The Broken Altar
In this endless blue world, the three of them rode the Pokémon to their heart's content. None www.biquge.info of the three of them are professional riders, so they can't play the highest speed of the elves, but they don't care.
I don't know how long I swam, but just when Genma thought that everyone was going to spend the rest of their time in this way, Green River suddenly made a discovery: "There seems to be something over there." As he spoke, he manipulated the tyrannosaurus to break away from the group and swim towards that side.
"We're keeping up with that, too. Genma said, although he didn't find anything, he believed Mr. Midorikawa. Then he and Multi-Track chased after the tyrannosaurus and the dragon.
As the group approached, the target grew larger and larger from a small black dot to a floating black cylinder. Maybe it's another amazing discovery, and the three of them sped up once again with a fever in their hearts.
Finally, the three of them came to the target and saw what it was.
"Is this an altar?" Genma said with some uncertainty. The thing in front of me is suspended diagonally in front of everyone's eyes, with a diameter of about fifty meters and a height of about three meters, and it looks like an altar in appearance, but the base has been destroyed for unknown reasons, but the main part is still there due to the strong material.
Green River undoubtedly had the most say in these things, and he didn't twist it, and after observing it, he said, "It should be an altar, and it should be an altar made of extremely precious materials." Although the altar is hardly used now, the shape and the pattern on it indicate that it is an ancient altar. ”
"Mr. Green River, you said it was a precious material, but I don't know what it is? It looks like it's some kind of metal. Multitrack asked curiously.
"Do you know about metal coatings?"
"Yes, props that can help elves evolve. ”
"Well, the metal coating is actually an activated metal, and after it is applied to the surface of the elf's body, it will react with the energy in the elf's body and re-solidify, so that the elf will become a steel attribute. This metal is very precious, and the whole body of this altar is made of metal crystals solidified by a metal coating. ”
"Ahh The price of metal coating is very expensive, and it is too violent to cast an altar from such a precious material.
"Generally speaking, altars are generally made of earth, but they are not strong enough and are only used temporarily. The materials used for the altar that were really used for a long time were very exquisite. For example, the altar of the Vortex Islands uses terrazzo mined in the deep sea, which is rich in water energy and strong enough. Terrazzo is a difficult material to mine, and it is very expensive, but it is not worth mentioning compared to this altar. ”
"Yes, this one is made of metal crystals, no wonder the pedestal is destroyed, but this altar is still there. ”
"And it's not that simple, you think about it, the Uzumaki Islands are dedicated to the sea and the sea gods, but only terrazzo is used to build an altar, and this altar is cast from metal crystals, and I don't know what kind of great existence it is sacrificed. ”
Genma didn't speak, but thought about it, although I don't know whether the sea god worshiped in the Uzumaki Islands is Lokia who appeared here or Grunado, who created the sea in legend, but there is no doubt that both are the same level of existence, if there is a higher existence than them, then it may be the legendary creation god Arceus.
Although there was some speculation, Genma did not say it, because he could not explain how a child of an ordinary family knew about this information that could be said to be confidential. So he turned around and said, "Mr. Green River, the patterns on the altar seem to be some frescoes, why don't we take a closer look!"
"Okay, let's go over and take a look, but be careful, we can't tell if there's any danger here. ”
"Hmm. Genma and Duo Rail nodded, and the three of them approached to see the murals.
Due to their age, although these frescoes have not been damaged because of the sturdy materials of the altars, and although there is a cultural generation gap, through those simple pictures, people can still vaguely understand what seems to be described on them. It seems to be talking about a group of people living in a place where the climate is arid and the land is barren, so they built this altar in the hope of praying to the gods for rain. Eventually, God answered them and brought them abundant rain to make people's lives better, so they cast this altar to express their gratitude to God.
"Somewhat clichéd stories. Green River commented. In ancient times, when technology was not developed, people had no other way but to rely on Pokémon power, so a lot of worship of Pokémon was carried out. Some of the worship still has remnants even now, "By the way, do you think that the space we are in now is formed by the residual energy of that 'god'?"
"Impossible, since you said that they worship Pokémon, then the so-called 'god' should be Pokémon, it's hard to imagine any Pokémon so powerful, just the residual energy is so much. Multitrack said with some uncertainty.
Regarding the judgment of the multi-track, Genma shook his head: "This is not necessarily, some legendary divine beasts have the ability to destroy the world and destroy the world, and it is completely understandable that there is so much energy left." ”
"But there are two kinds of energy in this space, the water system and the wind system, and it seems that they are completely of the same origin, and the divine beast of the water flying attribute seems to have never been discovered at all!"
Genma shook his head, and didn't say any more, Arceus can change all attributes, and few people in this world should know about it!
Unfortunately, the mural says that the so-called gods did not really come, but sent messengers to carry them out on their behalf. Green River said regretfully.
"Divine Messenger?" The two looked at Green River in surprise, limited by their experience and observation ability, they didn't understand as much as Green River, and when they heard what Green River said, they immediately leaned over.
"Well, you see, there's a portrait of that angel here. Green River said, pointing to the mural. The two hurriedly leaned over, only to see the place pointed by the green river, only to see a man in a robe standing on the altar in the picture, holding a scale in his right hand, and holding a ball in his left hand, and in the next picture, the ball turned into rain.
"Is this a human, or is it an elf that has turned into a human form?" Genma said curiously. In addition to the elves who have the ability to transform congenitally, such as Changeling and Zoroa, other powerful elves can also disguise themselves as humans.
"It should be people. Green River guessed, "The scales he holds in his hand symbolize balance, justice, and law in ancient cultures, which are not owned by the elves." And there's a bigger portrait here. With that, Green River led the two of them to the other side.
This portrait is larger and clearer, and even the facial features of the god can be clearly seen. Underneath the portrait, there is also a line of text.
"Mr. Green River, what do these words mean?" asked Multitrack.
"I only know the first ones, which are ancient words meaning Guardian of Balance, and the last ones I guess are the names of the gods. It doesn't seem to be the same language as the previous text. ”
"Iosis. Genma said suddenly.
"What?" Green River and Multitrack turned to Genma at the same time.
"I know those words, and the pronunciation is: Aiosis, which means balance and protection. Genma explained calmly, but there were big waves in his heart. These words belong to the kind of writing system that my father gave me since childhood, and the previous ones are not the same type at all, but they are the same as the language of the sacrificial songs sung on multiple tracks, and they all contain powerful words, and it seems that the secret hidden in my village is far from being as simple as I think.
