Chapter 219, The Place of the Ascended
"Seriously, it's just a crossing, I've crossed over, and then it's time to eat, drink, it's business as usual, don't worry about anything, because fate will always make arrangements when you need it most...... Of course, if you have an immortal body like me. ”
“……”
Lines looked at the endless desert, then at the starry sky in the sky, and sighed.
Frightened and frightened, and subjected to the nonsense of the magic sword, Lines felt that he was simply unlucky to be home.
"Hmm......"
At this time, there was a slight sound from Anne on her back, and Lines could feel the heat coming from her forehead, it seemed that the magic overdraft had made her body extremely weak, and if she didn't find a place to rest now, I was afraid that the consequences would be serious.
But...... According to Hadias's words, this is no longer the same space as the Valoran where he lives, he is not burned dry by the heat, he has not been vacuum blown up, and his feet are still on the ground, so it is not easy to find a place to rest in this case.
At this time, Jax on the side also seemed to see something, constantly patrolling around, and the lamppost in his hand was also tightly held, as if he was vigilant about something.
But Sivir, as if something good had happened, was calm, but Lines could always feel a glimmer of joy coming from her.
No...... Perhaps it's more appropriate to say it's ecstasy, like the ecstasy of following a treasure map to find a treasure.
"Hey, there's a couple of buildings over there. ”
At this moment, Sivir said, placing his hand in front of his eyes, as if trying to focus on something in the distance.
Building?
Isis tried to look forward, but all he saw was sand.
"Sure enough, your eyes are still so sharp, I'm afraid the desert vultures can't compare to them. ”
Jax didn't look at it either, but sarcastically said on the sidelines.
"Hmph, desert vultures are blind sparrows in front of me...... Instead of that, let's hurry over and let that little girl rest. ”
Sivir said, and was about to move forward.
"What about water, if there is no water, even if we can rely on our physique to support ourselves, Anne is now dehydrated, and she will not be able to get out of the desert alive if she doesn't think about it. ”
Lines said.
"Hmm...... Who knows, it can only depend on the will of God. ”
Sivir shrugged his shoulders and walked ahead of the group.
Lines, on the other hand, frowned.
Disoriented, without supplies, and sick with a sick man, would a mercenary who had been crawling in the desert for years say this?
Suspicious, Lines followed.
……
After walking for about a moment, a faint yellow line finally appeared from the dust in the distance, and Rains had to squint his eyes to make out that it was a building made of earthy yellow masonry.
And as the distance got closer and closer, Lines's brows became more and more furrowed, until he walked less than a hundred meters away, and this large and terrifying building showed its prototype in the eyes of everyone.
"Hey, Sivir, are you really going to take us inside?"
Jax tapped the exterior wall of the building with the lamppost in his hand, and to his surprise, although it looked like it was already a long-standing building, there was not a single piece of dirt dropped, which made Lines even more suspicious.
"You know, we're not treasure hunters, and we're not interested in accompanying you to nostalgia for the past. ”
"But that's the only way out, isn't it?"
Sivir asked rhetorically, as she stepped forward and pressed her ear to the outer layer of the building, as if listening to something.
"There was the sound of water, inside the building. ”
"But ......"
Looking at the triangular building in front of him, and the strange bird on the door frame of the building, Lines was sure that he had seen a description of a similar building in a textbook on the general history of Valoran.
If the person succeeds in ascending, it will be transformed into a temple and worshiped by the people, but if it fails, it will become a mausoleum for the loser to place his body, and at the same time, he will be buried with a large number of jewels, in order to use the glory and wealth for himself to exchange for the opportunity to ascend after death.
However, until now, there is only one temple of the Ascended that is still worshipped in Shurima, and it is said that the incense is not very strong, and whenever an adventurer finds the place of the Ascended in the desert of Shurima, there are only countless jewels and a dried corpse inside.
Although countless people have entered the Shurima Desert in search of the place of the Ascended, despite the extremely slim chance, even if they do, the terrible ancient Shurima magic and all kinds of strange and cruel mechanisms inside will make these outsiders die, even if they are lucky enough to pass all the levels and get the treasure, the strange curse magic will leave some unforgettable traces for these accidental rich people.
The place of the Ascended in front of him was almost too high to see the top of the tower, and there were already staggering treasures and ...... buried in it Countless dangers.
If it were normal, Lines would not have chosen to enter here.
But now......
Lines looked back at Anne on her back, her eyes were closed, her face was a little pale, she hadn't spoken for a long time, and it looked like she was in a coma.
"Alright, as you say, let's get in quickly. ”
With that, Lines reached out and pushed the heavy door.
"Hey, boy, watch out!"
Jax on the side saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late.
Bang~~~~~
With a scalp-tingling sound, Lines had pushed open the earthy-yellow, ornately carved door.
Suddenly, a dusty smell came from inside the door, and at the same time, the walls of the house suddenly lit up with fire, and torches hung around the walls, illuminating a small room.
The golden frescoes painted with molten metal, the strange carvings on the beams, a trickle encircled the middle of the room, and around the trickle, the green flowers and plants quickly opened up as if by magic.
In the middle of the wall opposite Lynes there was another closed metal door, on which was carved a fresco of a bird with wings spread out, like the sun, shining on the earth, and in the center of the mural was a line of ancient Shurima script carved with a sharp instrument.
There were no mechanisms, no poison gases, not even the suffocating putrid stench, and the sight made Lines and Jax look at each other.
Over here...... Wouldn't it be nice to be a shelter?
