Chapter 500: God's Tomb
Chief Dejiko ended his prayer and stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry for keeping my lord waiting. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Wren shook his head, and found that Dejico's fire of faith had grown a little, very faint, and it was difficult to detect if the soul eye did not look closely, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and the fire of faith that had burned a little bit returned to a dim state.
He had seen the fire of faith a lot, but rarely did.
The flame of faith represents the degree of devotion to the gods, and the more devout it is, the more intense it becomes, and unless the faith is shaken, it generally only increases and does not fluctuate.
Dejiko, as a remnant believer of the god of the scorching sun, is clearly the most devout believer, yet the flame of faith is regressing with only one explanation.
That is to cast doubt on the belief in the god of the scorching sun.
Wren followed Dejiko on his way and found that among the minotaurs under the stone pillar totem, there was also a part of the fire of faith that fluctuated, which was by no means normal.
Suspicious, Wren entered a tall building not far from the Stone Pillar Totem, a relatively simple log house, but a spacious interior, which looked like the council hall of the Sunstrider clan and the most important place on the Bright Bluff.
The Ultramarines remained outside the door, with only Sicarius and Borch following behind.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat. ”
Dejiko was enthusiastic and invited Wren to sit down at the long table in the middle of the hall.
The tables and chairs here are all made according to the size of the minotaur, the adult minotaur is at least two meters five, for Wren, who is less than one or nineteen meters tall, it is like breaking into the kingdom of giants, everything in the room seems to be enlarged twice, sitting on a sturdy log chair, his feet can't reach the ground.
A female minotaur brought a drink, a huge wooden cup like a wine barrel, filled with a white liquid, and smelled very good, reminding Wren of milk tea.
Under the hospitality, Wren picked it up and drank two sips, it was sweet and mellow, and the taste was quite good, but the portion was too much, if only another cup would be enough to take a bath.
He sneered, looked at Dejiko, who was sitting at the top, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Habu must have told you what I wanted, right?"
"Yes. Dejiko nodded, "The scarab spirits are of little use to us Sunwalkers, and we rarely hunt them. The two demon souls that Habu got were just a fortuitous transaction. If the lord wants more, he must enter Attas. ”
"Athas?" Wren was a little dazed.
Habu, the interpreter next to him, explained, "Lord Lord, Atas is the Remnant Sun Plane. ”
Seeing the sudden expression on Wren's face, Dejiko's expression became serious, and he said with a straight face: "Atas is the location of the divine kingdom of our lord Anse, although it is broken now, it cannot be allowed to outsiders to enter casually. ”
He paused, waited for Habu to finish translating, and then continued: "Besides, Atas is about the size of the Empire, and the interior is very dangerous, and if you lack an experienced guide, it is unlikely that you will find the scarab beetle without three or four years. I heard from Habu that the Lord needs a lot of scarabs?"
"That's right, the more the merrier. Wren graciously admitted.
The size of the Knights of the Spear Wing has been expanding, this is a long-term plan for the future, even if only one in twenty of the Knights of the Spear Wing will be able to advance to the middle level in the future, the demand for the Scarab Demon Soul is not a small number, at least hundreds, and at most thousands!
Dejiko smiled slightly, "Attas has a large number of scarabs, and it will definitely be able to meet the needs of the lord, I can personally lead people to show the way, but the lord has to promise to do one thing for me." ”
Wren nodded indifferently, this was all expected.
"Chief, please. ”
Dejiko glanced at Hab, as well as Sicarius and Borch, who were standing behind Wren, apparently not wanting them to hear what was going on.
"You go out first. Wren looked back and said, "Hab, you too, I can just talk to His Excellency the Chief in the imperial Chinese." ”
Hab, who was full of curiosity, left with a depressed face.
After the three of them went out, Dejiko continued to speak, and said in the imperial Chinese that he was not very fluent in: "How much does Lord know about the situation of my lord Anse?"
"Very little, I had only heard of His name before. Wren replied truthfully, "This is the first time I have known of the existence of the Sunstrider tribe. ”
"This is thanks to the Mother Goddess for her protection of us. If it weren't for the merciful Mother Goddess, the Sunstrider tribe would have been wiped out by Geon and his followers. Dejiko's eyes flashed with hatred, anger and gratitude, very complicated, he let out a long sigh, "My lord Anser used to be the closest ally of the mother goddess, and his divine power was powerful, but he was usurped by Geon, and the kingdom of God was shattered and fell for more than 10,000 years, and he could only rely on the Minotaur of the Sunseeker tribe for generations to insist on praying, hoping to be resurrected one day, but ......"
Speaking of this, the Minotaur Chieftain's expression was tangled.
Wren's soul eye also saw that the other party's mood fluctuations were very strong, as if facing difficulties in making difficult choices, and the information revealed in the words also confirmed his guess, behind Anse's fall, it was indeed the black hand of the sun god Geon.
He waited for a long time, but Dejiko didn't speak, so he asked:
"But what?"
Dejiko lowered his voice: "Since more than thirty years ago, my people and I have heard an answer when we prayed. ”
Wren was taken aback, and answering the prayer meant that the gods were about to be resurrected!
But Dejiko didn't look the slightest happy, his face was shrouded in gloom, and he said in a low voice: "That response is strange, can't communicate, it's not like words, I can hear that voice is full of evil and madness, it's a bit like, it's like ......"
His face was full of pain, and he couldn't go on.
Wren's heart was slightly cold, he could understand Dejiko's situation, he had prayed for thousands of years, and finally saw the dawn of the resurrection of the god of the scorching sun, but something went wrong, how could he not be sad?
No wonder the beliefs of the Minotaurs were shaken.
After waiting for a moment, Dejiko regained his composure and continued: "I have discussed with my clansmen, and the voice is definitely not our lord Anse, but like a beast without wisdom!"
"What does Your Excellency want me to do?" Wren asked softly.
Dejiko looked at the door of the hall vigilantly, made sure that no one was eavesdropping, and whispered: "When my lord fell, he left behind and built a secret mausoleum in Atas for resurrection. The mausoleum was concealed by the Mother Goddess, and even Geon was not discovered, and only a few of the most devout believers of the time knew the location, and the chief of the Sunseeker tribe was one of them. ”
"Over the years, I have visited my lord's tomb many times to check on him, but the tomb has been blocked by a huge array of ancient runes. ”
"It was the runic circle set up by the Sun Priest under my lord's seat during the Second Age. The Sunseeker tribe broke off the lineage of the Sun Priests thousands of years ago, and we couldn't open the door to the mausoleum, and we couldn't enter it after years of study. ”
"I've asked one of the great druids of the clan to go, but I haven't been able to crack it. ”
Wren understood when he heard this.
"Your Excellency the Chief wants me to help open the mausoleum?"
"Yes and no. Dejiko nodded and shook his head, "We want to open the mausoleum, but we hope that the lord's teacher, the Holy Soul Wizard, will do it." He was afraid that Wren would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I can't trust the lord, after all, it is my lord's mausoleum, and it is definitely not something that ordinary wizards can crack, so that the lord's teacher is safer." ”
Wren knew it, to put it bluntly, the other party still couldn't believe in his ability, a wizard who was just in his early twenties, no matter how famous he was, how could he be reliable as a Holy Soul Wizard?
He smiled, "Ask my teacher to help, and the price will not be a few scarab demon souls." ”
Dejiko's face changed slightly.
Wren said: "And the teacher has important things to do over the years, and he can't leave Wizeland easily, so I can only do it for me." ”
"Lord Lord......"
Dejiko was still hesitating, when he saw Wren stand up, he said confidently: "Chief, please rest assured, open the door, I am a professional! Even the teacher is not as good as me in this regard, in this world, there is no door that I can't open." ”
The Minotaur Chief was stunned by Wren's tone.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded, "Then trouble Lord Lord." ”
"Wait. Wren raised his hand to stop Dejiko, "I only said that I could open the door, but His Excellency the Chief also said that it was a god's tomb, very dangerous, and the spirit of a few scarabs was not enough for me and my brothers to take the risk." ”
"The layout in the mausoleum is only for heretics, and I will lead the way, so the lord can rest assured. Dejiko explained, "When the lord opens the door, he doesn't need to go in. ”
"I don't want to go in either, for fear the guy inside won't let me go. Wren shook his head and said.
Regardless of whether the resurrection in the mausoleum is the god of the scorching sun or not, even if it is not safely resurrected, it is an extremely terrifying existence, Dejiko said that the other party's voice is full of evil and madness, if you don't recognize your own believers, turn your face and make a move, it will be difficult to escape.
Dejiko opened his mouth, unable to give guarantees.
He could only ask, "So what does the lord mean?"
The initiative of the transaction immediately fell into Wren's hands, and he smiled faintly and put forward an idea: "I can follow His Excellency the Chief into the Remnant Sun Plane and go to that mausoleum. But before that, Your Excellency the Chief must lead me the way and hunt at least fifty scarab spirits. ”
"When I arrive at the mausoleum, it's up to me to decide whether to open the door or not. ”
"If I find it too dangerous, I can always leave. Wren saw that Dejiko was anxious, "When I come back, I will report to the teacher, and the teacher will decide whether to make a move, but His Excellency the Chief may have to wait patiently for a few years, how about it?"
Dejiko thought for a long time, realized that he had no choice, and nodded, "Yes." ”
Wren laughed, "Happy cooperation!"
"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
The two hands that are much different are held together, and Dejiko says that the cooperation is pleasant, but his heart is full of bitterness.
He immediately walked out of the council chamber and summoned the Sunwalkers.
Wren also let the Ultramarines rest and get ready for battle.
An hour later, Dejiko's men had been summoned, and in addition to himself, there were two Legendary Sunwalkers, one Legendary Intermediate and one Legendary Beginner, leading twenty-five Minotaurs, the same number as the Ultramarines, all of them high-level Sunwalkers.
Once the team had converged, Dejiko led the way into a tall, heavily guarded building on the top of the hill, which contained a passage leading to the interior of the mountain.
The passage is made up of stone steps that spiral down, and is wide enough for three minotaurs to walk side by side.
The six peaks of the Bright Cliff have such passages that lead directly to the surface, allowing the Minotaurs to travel back and forth between the top and the bottom of the mountain. But on the highest peak in the middle, the passage is not used to go up and down, but to go deeper into the ground, and a huge cavern appears in front of you.
A cave with a diameter of 100 meters, the dome is ten meters above the ground, a stone pillar totem penetrates from the ceiling, and the root tribe is in the middle of the cellar.
The ground around the stone pillar was arranged with a complex rune circle.
Wren recognized at a glance that this was a dimensional teleportation array, but it was different from the teleportation array of the Storm Temple in terms of details, as if the energy of activating the teleportation array was different.
Bang bang bang......
Heavy footsteps can be heard in the passage on the other side of the cavern, and a group of Kodomon are led out by the Minotaurs. They are larger than the average Kodomon, reaching up to six meters in length, with metal armor mounted on their necks and sides, and large skin pouches filled with water and food.
Wren's gaze swept away, there were more than fifty Kodomon, far more than the number of Sunwalkers, and it was obviously also equipped for Ultramarines.
Dejiko explained: "The sky of Atas is shrouded in a shattered void, which is very dangerous, and it is easy to get disoriented when flying, so it is best to walk on the ground. Lord Lord, your warriors, those flying dragons, don't release them in normal times, lest they get lost. ”
"Okay, I'll tell everyone to be careful. Wren said he understood.
Soon, the Sunwalkers and Ultramarines each mounted a Kodomon and lined up in the cave.
Dejiko took out eight gold-like crystals, inlaid them in the grooves on the stone pillar totem, reached out and pressed them on them and began to pour the power of holy light, and one after another like a substantial light shone out, flowing in the carved lines of the totem, like a magic circle flowing to the ground.
Wren recognized it as the Sun Crystal, which was precious to Allenus.
Half a minute later, the entire rune array was lit up by the power of holy light, and the light rolled back to the stone pillar totem, the space gradually distorted, and with a bang, a golden portal more than five meters high opened on the pillar of the stone pillar.
Dejiko jumped on his own Kodomon and was the first to rush in.
Then came two other legendary Sunwalkers, as well as twenty-five minotaurs, all riding the Kodomon, one by one, rushing into the golden portal.
"Let's go in too. ”
Sicarius led the Ultramariners into the door, then Borch, and Wren was the last to enter. The moment he entered the portal, the surrounding scene changed rapidly, layers of void flashed from his eyes to his back, and his body floated as if it had lost gravity, which lasted for about ten seconds, and the gravity returned to his body, and the Kodomon under the seat stepped on the solid ground.
Wren looked around and found himself in another cavern, the portal behind him was also on top of a large stone pillar totem, gradually closing.
Dejiko rode the Kodomon and ran along a slanting stone path.
The end of the stone path was blocked by a boulder, and he jumped down and forcefully moved the boulder several meters high.
Suddenly, a blood-red rays of sunset light shone in, which was extremely dazzling, making Wren squint.
