Chapter 25: The Veil
Word Count: 4232 "Renault, when do you think we'll be as strong as Captain Alsop." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Ngawang is a little frustrated, it is true that here they are nothing, at the mercy of others.
"There will be a day. Renault smiled, but his eyes were extremely determined.
"Hey, it's been a long road, I'm dizzy. Daisy said a little depressed, they had been walking for a while, but fortunately they finally saw the head, which was a huge platform, connected to the road, and was suspended in the air by steel cables.
"Poor people. Iliel looked at the mercenaries below and said with some reluctance, most of the elves are still kind.
The rest of the people who can climb also climbed the heavenly road, but the white gas is also completely covered with the ground, in the faint light to look down a white expanse, very fairyland, at this time the cold is slowly rising, for a time in the heavenly road people are not in danger of life.
In the struggle just now, far more than those who died at the hands of their own kind died from the cold, and it was not until they climbed the road to heaven that these crazy mercenaries recovered, with gloomy, sad, and angry faces, and I don't know how many people lost their companions again.
After the incident just now, the mercenaries tried their best to distance themselves from others, and the scene just now made the mercenaries who seemed to be an alliance no longer retain the only bit of trust, and even now there is hatred, the former companions were killed, but they never thought that they were also one of the crazy ones.
"Finally climbed up. "Renault stepped on this platform, this platform is pitch black, and the stone wall is of the same material, there is no pattern on it, it is a lifeless large stone slab, which is hung on the top of the cave, and a dozen thick iron cables firmly hang this rigid board.
Yes, now they finally saw the roof of the cave, and it was pitch black.
The road to heaven is connected to the side of the stone slab, and people just walk up to the platform from here, and there is a pillar on each side of the platform, and four pillars are black and painted, and I don't know what it does.
In front of the platform is the huge statue, a masked woman, showing her eyebrows and eyes, Rao is so that the people present still feel that this woman must be a peerless beauty, the whole stone statue reveals a noble, cold temperament.
"Whose stone statue is this, it's so beautiful, if only I had a statue of my own. Little stars popped into Daisy's eyes.
"Daisy, go back to your fiancé, he'll be happy to help you fulfill this wish. Eliel laughed.
"No, no, I don't want to look for him, I get angry at the mention of him, who wants to marry him." Daisy muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Is this statue ......?" Renault thought.
"Boss, what are we going to do now, there's no way out, those disgusting white gases are still rising. Rurul stretched out his head and looked at the white air path below.
"I don't know, it's safe here for the time being, let's find out what I find. Reynolds said.
This is the mercenaries have climbed up one after another, a group of people standing on this big stone slab blankly, to be honest, this slate is really big, more than a thousand people standing on it does not look crowded.
The clever man had already begun to study around a few strange stone pillars, and there were small holes in the stone pillars, which were cold to the touch, but there was no response. After studying for a long time, no one found anything of value.
"Commander, did you find anything?" asked Dillon in a muffled voice.
"There's nothing special about this stone pillar, it seems to be an ordinary stone. Alsop didn't have a clue, they wanted to ask Renault how he was, but Renault was a newcomer, and they experienced mercenaries didn't want to ask Renault without thinking about it, especially when they learned that they hadn't actually come in.
When asked about him, he seemed to be very smart, and he was like a fool.
"The veil of the goddess must be lifted to live. "A group of mercenaries are obviously not interested in the four stone pillars at this time, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but it is an anagram, so far the mystery has been confirmed, then the next sentence will definitely be the key clue.
So the mercenaries tried to lean towards the statue as much as possible, because the stone slab was wide, and the statue was not too far from the stone slab.
At this time, Renault paid attention to the stone pillars, what is the meaning of the four stone pillars in the four directions, what is the purpose of these holes, and what does this have to do with the veil of the goddess.
Renault squatted beside a stone pillar and thought, not everyone ran to observe the goddess veil, and a small number of people were still studying the stone pillar here, at this time, a sea tribesman stared at his already large eyes, and the gills on both sides of his cheeks moved.
Apparently this guy is eager to find something, this kind of sea tribe looks similar to humans, that is, it has fish gills, some skin scales, and elbows have fish fins, not like frogmen, shell people, not like people at all.
"Bah, this broken thing is just an ordinary stone, why do you think it's a baby. The Sea Clan muttered, then spat on it, and then turned away.
However, the squatting Renault was almost not spewed by the spit, and the spit hit the stone pillar, and then something strange happened, the spit was sucked into one of the holes, and then Renault noticed that there seemed to be a faint flash of blue light.
Renault watched this scene thoughtfully, then took out his water bag, and then poured some water on it, the strange thing is that the water did not flow down, and it was sucked in at once as it was just now, and then it also flashed with blue light.
"Renault, what are you doing, there's too much water?" Awang looked at Renault curiously.
“…… I'm trying out what this thing does, and I seem to understand it now. Reynolds said.
"So what is this for, to help us find the treasure?" said Rurul, apparently sensing the hope of the treasure hunt again.
"No, no, at least it might get us out of this place. Renault shook his head.
With the passage of time, the white gas slowly rose, and the people standing on the stone slab could finally see how the white gas came from, and the stone walls under the head of the goddess statue on all sides were small
Holes, white gas is pouring out from here, including the chest of the goddess statue.
It's just that until now, people don't know what this white gas is, so terrifying power is simply unheard of, even Alsop didn't dare to approach, the ghost knows if his magic power is enough to resist that damn white gas?
"What the hell is this veil, how can I get rid of it? Dillon said depressedly.
Hundreds of thousands of people stared at each other here, and also tried a few waves, stunned to figure out what material this veil is, only knew that it was definitely not the same thing as the stone wall next to it, and it seemed to have a certain degree of flexibility, but no matter how people did it, there seemed to be no response, and some people even wanted to jump over and open it directly, but they were sucked down by a terrifying suction force as soon as they jumped, and this guy finally climbed up, and went down all of a sudden, much faster than when he came up, of course, he couldn't get up again.
With the experience of the past, a cadre did not dare to mess around, but there were mercenaries who threw a hook to try to hook up the veil, but the hook was hooked, and the mercenaries thought that the opportunity had come, and used the strength of the milk, but they pulled the rope off, and the veil did not react at all.
The mercenaries in the back are all kinds of methods, all kinds of strange, but all of them fail without exception, so some people can't help it, are you awesome?
So a dozen magic bolts were thrown over, and it was strange to say that the terrifying suction seemed to be only aimed at life, and it seemed to have no effect on this dead thing, so there was a loud bang.
Then the sound of "bang-la-la" sounded, don't get me wrong, it's not the veil opened, but the iron cable on the stone slab fell more than ten meters in a daze, and suddenly everyone broke out in a cold sweat, obediently, there is that terrifying white gas below, the white gas that was already rising suddenly seems to be a lot closer to them at the moment, especially the person who throws magic, I can't wait to slap myself a few times, you say this hand is cheap.
Next, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that this terrible iron rope would be unhappy and lower more than ten meters, so that they would not have to cry.
"Little brother Renault, what do you think?" The powerful mercenary finally pulled down his face, and had to ask this little mercenary who seemed to be weak.
"Well, well, I have a little idea. Renault said honestly.
"Oh, let's hear it. Rose Shadow looked at Renault excitedly, as the head of the Blood Rose, Rose Shadow was only about thirty years old, wrapped in a breastplate, exposing her navel, and her lower body was also a skirt armor, her slender and smooth legs were exposed to the air, her right shoulder blades were connected to the palm of her hand were finely patched up armor, and her left hand was bare, revealing her wheat-colored healthy and smooth skin, and her chestnut curly hair was tied up at will, with a delicate face, she looked heroic.
Among the strong men in the depths of Renault in front of him, he didn't pay much attention to this strong woman when he was nervous, and it seemed that he was indeed a good stunner at this time, although it didn't suit his appetite.
"I don't know if you've noticed the whitened murals below. Renault asked.
"Those murals, of course, all eight murals, I've seen them carefully, but there's nothing at all, it seems that it's just an event of great significance to the wolf clan, and it's a commemorative significance. A mercenary powerhouse said uncertainly.
"There was a painting of a human woman and a wolf-headed man, and although it was a little blurry, it was vaguely clear that the woman was masked. Reynolds said.
"You're saying that the woman is probably the goddess?" thought Alsop.
"Well, everyone must have stopped the mythical story of the moon god descending on the werewolf kingdom, right?" said Reynolds.
This story is a very widespread basic myth in the mainland, and basically children in the mainland can hear this story from their elders, and these myths are very popular as a pastime when they are young.
Legend has it that a long time ago there was a powerful werewolf kingdom on the continent, these people are different from the orcs and wolves, they are a real noble race, human appearance, but they can transform into werewolves during battle, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, they believe in the moon god, because the moon brings them great power, and the moon god also favors this race.
This powerful werewolf nation has a wise king, who is very powerful and also governs the country well.
However, the worship of countless people, coupled with the rhetoric of the ministers around him, after a long time, the king gradually degenerated, spent all his time drinking, and liked beautiful women very much, wantonly scraped the beauties of various races on the mainland, and gradually relaxed the governance of the country, and enjoyed it all day long.
Finally, one day disaster befell this country, the water is gone, the werewolf kingdom is located in a very arid area, all the water sources come from the groundwater, there is no river on the surface, but the underground water vents are not coming out of the water, for a time the whole country is gloomy, and the people are not happy.
However, the king turned a blind eye, still only knew pleasure, and finally the moon god could not stand it, she was very heartbroken to see the king so depraved, and the king who warned the mediocre several times turned a blind eye, and the moon god, who could not bear to hurt his own believers, had no choice but to think of a way.
On the day of the king's grand parade, she incarnated as a human woman, wearing a white dress and a veil on the king's street parade, the king was deeply attracted when he saw the woman incarnated by the moon god, he suddenly felt that the previous beauty was eclipsed in front of this woman, at that moment his heart was completely occupied by this woman, although he had not seen the whole picture, but only that figure, that temperament, and that pair of seductive eyes, the king had been fascinated.
He was so eager to be able to take off her veil and see her as she really was, so he stopped the great parade and received the woman with the noblest courtesy, he only wanted to have this woman and capture her heart.
The moment he saw the woman, the king expressed his desire to see the woman's true face, and the woman chuckled, which made the king completely intoxicated, and made him even more eager to see the woman's true face.
However, the woman said that he wanted to see her face and the king would agree to her on one condition, and the king immediately nodded and agreed, at this time he was willing to give everything, and the woman asked the king to investigate the cause of the lack of water and restore it.
The king agreed, and for the next seven days and seven nights, the king did not close his eyes, and led a group of men to investigate the cause day and night, and finally they found out the reason, it turned out that there was a water demon in the bottom of the kingdom, a monster that likes fresh water very much, although I don't know what caused this monster to come to this arid land, but the water source of the whole country is cut off by it, and it is a fact that it is all used to maintain oneself.
So the king and the warriors of the kingdom fought with this monster for three days and three nights, and the battle completely changed the surrounding terrain, the mountains became basins, and the plains became canyons, and finally the king suppressed the monster at the expense of many strong men, and then built four huge pillars around the monster, and these four pillars sealed the monster, and also used the monster's natural characteristics of gathering water to continuously provide water for the people, so the werewolf country regained its vitality.
The king was overjoyed when he found the woman, and the woman unveiled her veil at the appointment, and a peerless face eclipsed everything around her, and the king was shocked to see the woman's true face, and he recognized that the woman was the moon god, so he knelt down on the spot, trembling, and the moon god did not blame him, pointed out his past mistakes, and then praised him for solving the kingdom's water problem, and gave the king a moon god cloak, and then disappeared into the world, the moon god's teachings and forgiveness made the king enlightened, and from then on he concentrated on governing the country, and the werewolf kingdom became more and more powerful after that, becoming the most prosperous empire on the continent。
