Chapter 5: The Temple of the Wilderness
Since he was knocked unconscious and brought in when he came in, it was a problem for Leitch to get out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
According to the memories of their predecessors, ancient tombs are generally extremely dangerous, and in order to deter those tomb robbers, there are often a large number of traps buried in the tombs. The older it gets, the more dangerous it is, as there is a chance that undead creatures such as ghouls and resentful spirits may appear in the tomb.
They would definitely be able to get out by following the tomb path, because Daris, they probably came in along the tomb road at first, but God knows how many traps there are on the way, and he is only half of the Hangzi Mage apprentice now, and he is far from Daris's strength, and he doesn't want to be shot into a sieve with a bow and arrow on the way, or sharpened into a stick by a blade or something.
So how do you get out?
This is the burial chamber, and the original owner of the burial chamber will certainly not be idle enough to build a path out here - yes, although the original owner will not, but Daris, they are very likely! They must have been in and out here more than once, and the altar of the Faceless King must have been brought in from the outside--because the statue was too big for Skahn's star ring to fit, and there was a lot of trouble to enter along the tomb path-so why didn't Daris's others open another passage here?
With this in mind, Ricky set out to find it. In the end, he really found a passage behind the waterfall.
Since this passage was hidden behind the waterfall, he couldn't find it at first, no matter how much he tried to find it, and he couldn't help but wonder if his reasoning was correct. Fortunately, when he inadvertently looked at the waterfall, he suddenly had an idea, and remembered the "Journey to the West" he had seen in his previous life, and the water curtain hole in it was hidden behind the waterfall?
The passage hidden behind the waterfall is obviously freshly dug, and the soil layer is much newer than the burial chamber, and of course it is rough and unartistic.
The passage is very short, and it is about ten meters up to the end. The end is now blocked by a thick stone slab pulled down, but this is not a problem, there is a pull gate next to it. Seeing that turnstile, Leitch was sure that his previous guess was not far from the truth, because that turnstile was used in the current style.
When Leitch walked out of the passage and looked at the scene around him, he couldn't help but be stunned - this was actually a temple?! He knew what it meant to be bold - the entrance to the entrance was just blocked by a statue, who would have thought that?
It was only a small temple, with only one main temple, and it was decaying, and looking at the dust on the statue, it was not difficult to guess that it had been a long time since there were believers to worship.
The continent of Blanca has a well-developed faith, and the system of gods and spirits can be described as extremely complex. But all this is not without a trace, and in the final analysis, it can be found that the difference in faith is mainly due to the difference in the power system.
For example, the Valley of Dawn in the eastern region of Blanca, which is occupied by humans, is also known as the ancestral land of warriors, which is mainly derived from the Star Soul warrior system.
According to the Star Soul Pillar of the Star Soul Palace, the Star Soul Warrior system began at the end of the First Era, that is, at the end of the Ancient Era. It was a time when dragons and titans were vying for supremacy, and the human race on the continent was even slaves under the rule of dragons at that time. Until the heaven and earth mutate, the God of War Pillar descended from the starry sky, the glory of Augustine shone on all the people, and the indomitable ancestors evolved into powerful star soul warriors!
However, the early stage of the formation of the Star Soul Warrior System was not smooth, and the dragon regarded those warrior ancestors as rebels and suppressed them bloodily, which once made the newly lit Star Soul Fire almost extinguished! Until the great Dragon Slayer Saint Malo was born, bathed in the blood of the dragon and founded the Star Soul Temple, leading the awakened ancestors to fight unrelentingly, and finally pushed the Star Soul Warrior System to the whole continent!
Among them, the place where the God of War Pillar landed is located in the territory of today's Holy War Kampra, perhaps the reason why it has been affected more deeply is that the talent of the Kampra people is the strongest among all the human races, and almost ten Kampra people can have an awakening into a Star Soul Warrior! The power of the stars cultivated by the Star Soul Warriors comes from the God of War Star Domain, so the main belief of the Kampra people is undoubtedly the God of War Augustine.
The Magic Empire of Karachi is the oldest human empire on the continent of Blanca, founded at the beginning of the epoch and has been around for 10,000 years. Among the six human kingdoms, the Karachi Magic Empire is not only the most extensive in terms of territory, but also recognized as the strongest human empire on the mainland! In addition to the unparalleled magical talent of the Karachi people, the Karachi Empire has inherited most of the remnants of the ancient Magic Empire of Fast in the previous era!
The last era, the Third Age, is the only one in which humans dominate the continent. And the protagonist of the Third Age is none other than the extinct Magic Empire of Fast. The rule of the Fast Empire lasted for more than 10,000 years, which can be called the golden age of mankind, in which magic has developed to an incredible point - the city in the sky, the crystal palace under the sea, the volcanic fortress, the magic gunship, the plane conquest****** countless planes tremble under the staff of Fast, even the powerful abyss plane was once pushed to dozens of floors underground!
The most terrifying thing is that the Fast Empire has given birth to a total of three god-level mages, including the founding emperor Nicholas! And now, the Karachi Empire worships these three Dharma gods, and they are respected as the three holy spirits of Karachi!
But even if it is as strong as the Fast Empire, it will not be able to avoid the fate of extinction in the end. Most historians of later generations believe that the crazy "god-making" plan is undoubtedly the main culprit that led to the demise of Fast, and it is also the main cause of the "Battle of Twilight"!
The "god-making" plan is a man-made god plan. The details of this project are still unknown to the general public, but it is not difficult to guess how crazy it is just by its name. There is no doubt that the god-making plan ended in failure. However, a considerable number of scholars believe that if the Battle of Dusk had not broken out, the God-making Project would not have been without the possibility of success! Because the Karachi-people were not outstanding in magic before the God-making Project, but now the Karachi-people are the most magically gifted human race, and the proportion of mages has reached a terrifying 10%!
The Battle of Dusk, also known as the Battle of the End. In the bard's ballad - the scepter of dawn blasts open the grave of dusk, the ghost of the remnant screams and whimpers, the trumpet of the High King blows away the gloom of time, the beginning of glory is the end of the day, the evil eye spreads calamity, the emperor falls, the blood is severed, and the glory of Fast is buried in the dust******
In the Battle of Dusk, the ruler of the Dusk Tomb, the terrifying Lord of the Demon God Dusk invaded the continent of Blanca with the true body of the strongest Demon God, the last emperor of Fast, Steeu, was killed in battle, the royal blood was cut off***** the Battle of Dusk lasted for nearly a hundred years, the continent of Blanca was full of blood, white bones blocked the road, and hundreds of millions of dead creatures!
At the time of his death, the Lord of Thunder, the embodiment of judgment, the Supreme Thunder Saint King descended into the mortal world in his supreme true body, expelled the darkness, judged the evil, defeated millions of abominations and spirits in one fell swoop, and banished the Lord of Dusk back to the Dusk Tomb!
The Inquisition appeared in the late stages of the War of Dusk and was founded by the four followers of the Thunder King, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The four Knights of the Apocalypse are Light, Redemption, War, and Death. In the Battle of Dusk, the Four Knights of the Apocalypse led the Knights of Judgment to fight in all directions, and even once counterattacked into the Dusk Tomb and made a great name!
Even after the founding of the state, Saint Laurent canonized the Inquisition as the Protectorate. Now, after tens of thousands of years of development, in the territory of Holy Roland, there is only one Sect left in the Inquisition!
The Magic Empire of Karachi, the Holy War Campura Empire, and the Holy Laurent Empire were all founded at the beginning of the era, far older than the Dawson Free Federation and the Kingdom of Abidjan.
The Kingdom of Abidjan was founded 7,000 years ago by the founding emperor Abidjan Gouauste, who was the first deputy commander of the Witcher Legion of the Karachi Empire. As a result, Abidjan led a rebellion, staged a coup d'Γ©tat, and finally established the kingdom of Abidjan after a bitter battle.
Coincidentally, the Dawson Free Federation, also known as the Liberty Frontier, was originally a slave trade center and transit point for the Karachi Empire. Four thousand years ago, the largest slave revolt in history broke out in the Free Frontier, and the Dawson Free Federation was established.
From the history of the two countries, it is not difficult to see that the relationship between the Kingdom of Abidjan and the Dawson Free Federation and the Karachi Empire is not much better.
The dominant forces in the kingdom of Abidjan are the Witchers and Bloodstreaked Warriors. The Demon Hunter appeared in the Third Age, and is said to be one of the products of the God-making Project - through complex magic rituals, magic crystals are implanted into the blood of ordinary people who do not have the talent of mages, and those who succeed will have the ability to cast spells, that is, witchers, and those who fail will not be able to die again.
Ironically, the Witcher originally existed as a mage guard, but since the Witcher mutiny, the Witcher now has made the hunt for mages his first goal.
And the Blood Warriors are a product of this era, appearing only for thousands of years. The first blood-streaked warrior in history was the Blood Troll Mastag. Mastag was originally a great sage, but his natal magic book was destroyed in a major battle, and his magic power was lost. Originally, the world thought that Mastag would spend the rest of his life as a wasted person, but what was surprising was that Mastag successfully communicated with an abyss lord with the help of rituals, and after sacrificing a seventh-level demonic beast snow troll, Mastag actually obtained the ability of the snow troll - with a near-immortal body, and his strength also has ice and snow attributes!
After that, the Bloodstreaked Warriors began to spread across the human countries at a frantic rate. But compared to the Star Soul Warriors, the Blood Pattern Warriors have a fatal flaw, if the sacrifice ritual is not successful, then the sacrificer will not die or be crippled! And the failure rate has reached a terrifying 90%!
The witchers themselves have no faith - if the hunting of mages does not count, the blood-streaked warriors believe in the abyss lords, the sworn enemies of the various races of the continent, so the kingdom of Abidjan is very unpopular with other countries.
And the belief system of the Dawson Free Federation is definitely the most complex among the countries, because it was originally a slave concentration here, so the race here is undoubtedly the most complicated. Even among the ten lords of the Dawson Federation, there is a dwarf, an orc, an elf, and even a demon spirit! Therefore, it is not surprising that there is any kind of faith in the Dawson Federation.
In addition to the above orthodox god system, there are also many wild gods and demon gods that are not recognized by the public.
The so-called wild god is also very easy to understand, which means to be a monk halfway and in the wild. Most of these gods did not have many followers, and their dogmas tended to be peaceful, and they did not pose any danger to the rule of the nobility and the stability of the region, so the aristocratic rulers generally turned a blind eye to this.
As for the Demon God, the Faceless King is a Demon God, and Daris and Skahn are typical Demon God believers. Most of the demon gods reside in the sinister realm of annihilation, and most of them have bad intentions for the continent of Blanca.
The most notorious person on the continent today is undoubtedly Brune Hades, the Lord of Twilight from the Dusk Grave, who single-handedly set off the Battle of Dusk to end the Third Age!
Of course, the Abyss Great Lords believed in by the Kingdom of Abidjan are also demon gods, but in the territory of Abidjan, these Abyss Great Lords are called the Old Gods.
Leitch stared at the altar idol intently, and found that this was not one of the gods he was familiar with before, it was estimated that most of them were wild gods, otherwise her temple would not have been built in such a barren place, and Daris, they would not dare to use her altar as a cover.
But seeing that this goddess is only wearing a light veil, her figure is graceful and plump, although her face is covered with a light veil, but she still exudes a suffocating charm.
At this time, Leitch was standing at the entrance of the debut, and the statue of the goddess was within his reach, and under the ghost's request, he actually wiped a handful on the face of the statue of the goddess. After wiping it, Lei Qi couldn't help but look at his hands in a daze, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the king of Shang who was cowardly and had molested Nuwa, Lei Qi suddenly calmed down, compared to him, he just wiped a handful on his face, what is it?!
Lei Qi walked out of the hall, and at the same time couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and laughed in his mouth: "The pear blossom brings the rain to compete for beauty, and the peony cage smokes and smokes makeup." But you have to be coquettish to move and take back the king of Lei Man's service!"
What Leitch didn't know was that the moment he walked out of the temple, a faint golden light lit up in the beautiful eyes of the goddess statue, but it only flickered slightly, and then dimmed again.
After leaving the temple, he chose a certain direction, and Leitch kept walking without looking back. Anyway, he hadn't been to this place, and it was almost the same for him to go wherever he went, as long as he could finally get out of this wilderness and find the official road. There is usually a signboard every few miles on the official road, and then he can find his way back to Leiman City according to the sign.
After walking for about four miles, he finally found the official road. This official road is just an ordinary official road, and only one carriage can be accommodated. After walking a few hundred meters on the official road, he finally found the long-awaited sign. Since this section of the road is not a fork in the road, this is just a two-way sign: three miles to the left, Baixi Village, and eighteen miles to the right, Niutou Village.
Seeing that the sky is almost dark, he is not familiar with the place, and his current strength is not good, and he still has to solve today's accommodation problem before it gets dark. So without much thought, Leitch walked to Baixi Village, which was closer to him.
Before that, Reich looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly sank into the thick haystack, and when he came out, he had two pieces of iron armor in his hands. He has nothing on him now, and that's what he needs to eat and lodging tonight.
The two pieces of iron armor in his hand weigh about seventy or eighty pounds, but fortunately, his current body is already tall and strong, and now he has transformed into a mage apprentice, and mentioning these seventy or eighty pounds of iron armor is just easy for him. If it were the same body in his previous life, there would be no need to think about it.
The administrative division of the Dawson Federation is different from that of Leitch's previous life. This is a village managed by the main city, in which the population of the town and the population of the village are roughly one to two, like the city population of Lei Man City has a city population of more than one million, then the villagers near Lei Man City are also about two million. The same is true for other main cities, but all cities within each province are under the jurisdiction of the realm ruler. Generally, there are a few hundred people in a small village, and a few thousand people in a larger village, so there are about two thousand people in the villages near Lei Man City.
Lei Qi walked slowly along the official road, and along the way, he really appreciated the mountains and waters of Lei Man's territory. Although the memories of his predecessor have been preserved intact, his predecessor is almost an otherworldly version of the otaku, and he has lived for more than ten years and wandered around Lei Man City!
Next to the official road is a stream, although the stream is not big, but the mountains and rocks are rugged, and it can be regarded as a drop. There are mountain peaks lurking by the stream, but they are not high mountains and big veins, just some delicate small peaks of me, which contrast with the stream. Giant trees rise between the mountains and rivers, and from time to time hares, pheasants, and even elk can be seen roaming among the mountains. At sunset, the birds fall in the forest****** in short, Leitch thinks the scenery is beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't in the mood, Leitch could hardly help but stop.
