Chapter 277: Hall of Origin
Further into the interior of the Underground Kingdom, Dylan followed Rick to a large bronze door.
Looking at the copper door dozens of meters high, Dylan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"This is the hall of origin of our dwarf clan, which contains a large number of information about our ancestors, as well as a large number of stone paintings, sculptures, etc., including the origin and development of our dwarf clan. Rick said, looking at the bronze door.
Dylan suddenly seemed to hear something, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher, is there anything alive in here?"
Rick immediately shook his head: "How is this possible? There are many books and carved sculptures in this Origin Hall, how can there be any living creatures?And the temperature inside is very low, and nothing can survive in it for a long time." ”
Seeing that something seemed wrong with Dylan's eyes, Rick asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Dylan thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Maybe it's my hallucination." ”
However, for a moment just now, he clearly heard a steady breathing sound inside, but when he wanted to confirm again, the breathing sound suddenly disappeared.
Dylan couldn't help but touch the bronze door with his hand, only to feel the cold touch, so he couldn't help but retract his hand.
Rick smiled: "This door doesn't seem to be special, but this material is not pure bronze, and it is mixed with some very special extremely cold metal, which is why it is so cold." ”
Dylan suddenly understood, you know, this Gomore kingdom was built on the Gomore volcano, and the temperature under this underground should be higher, but the dwarves used their wisdom to make the climate of this underground kingdom very suitable.
In such a volcanic climate, this huge bronze door can remain extremely cold all year round, which shows that the materials used in this gate itself are extraordinary.
As for what exactly the extremely cold material is, even the records on the books are very vague, so no one can say clearly.
"Hehe, it is rumored that in this hall of origin, in addition to storing many wisdom books of the dwarven clan, there is also an unknown secret. But again, it is difficult to verify from the records, and this is a mystery that our dwarves have always been difficult to solve. ”
Dylan listened to Rick's story as he looked at the carved pattern on the massive bronze door.
For some reason, after staring at it for a long time, he would feel dizzy, and his vision would suddenly become blurred.
Dylan quickly realized that something was wrong and quickly looked away.
After Dylan regained his senses, he continued to ask, "Can the door of this Hall of Origin be opened?"
Rick was a little surprised, "What? Are you interested in the history of our dwarves?"
Dylan responded with a smile: "Teacher, you know, I'm just very curious." ”
Rick didn't think much about it: "It can indeed be opened, but this requires my father's permission, after all, this Origin Hall is full of precious treasures left by the ancestors of the dwarf clan, and it is not usually opened at will." ”
This kind of reply made Dylan a little embarrassed, he couldn't just ask His Majesty the King of the Dwarven Kingdom because of his curiosity, right?
At this moment, a kind voice came from behind them: "Hahaha, it's rare that a human would be interested in the history of our dwarves. ”
Dylan and the others looked back, but saw that His Majesty the King of the Gomore Kingdom was standing not far away, and beside him stood Dylan's father, Olvern Green.
The two of them were followed by a female dwarf with a strange wooden staff, who seemed to be the palace priest from yesterday's welcoming ceremony.
Ao Feng looked at his son with a smile and said, "If you really want to go in and have a look, let Oliver open the door." ”
The dwarven king on the side gave Ao Feng a roll of the eyes: "The key is not on me, it is with Wagna." She is the high priestess of our kingdom of Gomor, and she is in charge of all matters related to our ancestors. ”
King Oliver said, pointing to the dwarven priestess behind him.
The priestess did not seem to have a good temper, and even in the presence of the king, she looked unhappy.
I only heard her say in a cold voice: "I didn't have the key with me today, so let's do it next time." ”
Such a reply made everyone present a little embarrassed, and no one expected that the high priest would give the king such a face.
Rick frowned and said, "Wagna, my apprentice is interested in the history of our dwarven clan, why don't you have someone go back and get the key?"
Wagna said expressionlessly, "Even if I want to open the door of the Origin Hall, I will need to hold some corresponding rituals, and it will take me a long time to prepare. Forget it today, after all, I still have to accompany His Majesty the King and this knight of the Aofeng who came from afar to visit the Thunder Hair Statue. ”
Rick naturally heard the unhappiness in Wagner's tone, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Dylan.
Dylan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay! I'm mainly curious, I'll talk about it when I have a chance later, and I'm not in a hurry at this time." ”
Seeing that his apprentices had already said this, Rick could only snort coldly at Wagner, and then stopped talking.
The Dwarven King Oliver Spirits smirked, "Let's keep walking, we're going to be there just in time for noon, and we'll be able to see the rare Light of Azir." ”
Ao Feng on the side also quickly picked up Oliver's topic and asked, "Azir Light?
Oliver originally looked at Wagner, hoping that she, the High Priest, would explain the legend.
But seeing Wagna's extremely unkind face, Oliver could only shake his head helplessly, and explained as he walked forward: "This Azir light is a Gomol wonder that has existed for tens of thousands of years, and it is a kind of reflected light created by our ancestors. Wait a minute and go to the Thunder Hair Statue, you will see everything and everything will understand!"
After saying that, the kind-faced dwarven king looked at Dylan, "Little one, do you want to go with us to have a look?"
Dylan's first reaction was to look at the teacher on the side, only to see Rick's unhappy face, but Colin kept pestering him, hoping that he would agree.
In the end, Rick could only nod reluctantly.
In this way, the group walked slowly towards the legendary dwarven wonder.
Coming to the open area of the underground kingdom, Dylan looked up, only to see a huge stone platform high in front of everyone, showing a triangular shape.
The boulder protruded from the cliff face, but its shape was unusually neat.
On each side of the boulder, there is a stone staircase that extends upwards, which should lead to the boulder.
