Chapter 723: The Legendary Emperor of Aratho
After listening for a long time, Locke nodded, he already understood what these people wanted.
This means that there may be an old god down there, and the followers of Twilight's hammer want to resurrect their god, and the guards of Tyre want to stop them. The solution is to take the silver hand, the artifact used to maintain the stability of the cemetery, from the cemetery, so that the tomb collapses and hides the entire area?
But this treats the symptoms but not the root cause....
And...
Locke subconsciously felt that the Twilight Hammer was still far away from him, but he didn't expect that he had already come here to dig up the corpse of the old god....
A slight touch on Locke's back appeared and disappeared, and Locke turned his head to look, and Demytia vaguely motioned for her to come over.
"I'm sorry, I'm going out, please wait." With that, Locke ignored their feelings and walked out first. Demethia also got up and smiled at them, following Locke.
Locke stood at the entrance to the inn in the bright moonlight on the land, no pedestrians around, only the magic lantern glowing white.
"My lord, promise them!"
Demytia's first words after coming out made Locke slightly surprised. In the past, she would not agree to let herself take risks, but now she is urging herself to agree?
"Why?" Locke turned to look at her holy face, "These are the old gods, and you probably don't understand how terrible they are. ”
"I don't understand, but I saw it in the prophecy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you here. Demitea looked at Locke with a smile, "This is a fateful journey, a destiny that belongs to you and me..."
"Fate? Hehe..."Locke shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe fate has buried us in that grave..."
"I don't know, but my final prophecy is that we will be washed by the rapids in the dark cavern," Demyteah's smile vanished, and she became rare serious, "I predicted this event in many ways, but the end result was that we would all enter that tomb." ”
"There's you and me, the fate we have to face!"
Destiny! It's fate again...
The coronation of King Lordaeron is just around the corner; The plan to win over the Forsaken is about to be implemented; Attendance at the summit of the Union and Tribes was also a few months later.... Locke sighed, seeing that this happened at this juncture?!
Just come out and inspect the development of the territory! How could there be such a big crisis!?
That's the Old Gods! Not a gnoll!
"My lord, we are of the Light... Warriors and its believers. Demetia whispered in Locke's ear, "I believe it has led us here, not to us falling on the ground." ”
"With only five people of the Tyr Guard, they will only sacrifice their lives in vain. Without our help, who can these Tyr guards turn to for help? Are we going to sit back and watch the cultists of Twilighthammer awaken the minions of the old gods who have fallen asleep? At that time, it happened in your territory, and you still need to deal with it? ”
"Old God minions?" Locke sighed and looked at the huge white lady in the sky, "If it's really just the minions of the ancient gods, then it would be great...."
"I don't know if the old gods really exist, but I believe that the real old gods won't be right here, awakening at this time." Demitian affirmed, "If that were the case, we should have seen a lot of strange-looking people gathering in this town." The security bureau of adults should have caught a lot of Twilight cultists, that's just the way it goes. ”
Hey, that's very possible!
Of the five known ancient gods, only Enzos is the deepest, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Locke based on Enzos in the tomb of Tyr, based on the memories of his previous life, the posts written by those who played Hubi on the Internet.
What kind of hanging nature of those people on the Internet, a big bone by the sea can give you an association, in the past, there was a big battle between the Titan and a certain ancient god here! How could the true ancient gods appear in front of everyone so easily?!!
Horses, thinking about it like this, scared themselves?!
Moreover, which ancient god existed around without signs of corrosion? Locke looked at the lights in the windows around him, and the laughter of the children, it didn't look like a sign that the old gods were born here!
Locke knocked on his head helplessly, why is he so high in status, but timid instead?
"Shall we promise them?" Locke tried to ask Demytia. Demetia nodded affirmatively! "Promise them!"
With the answers unified, Locke and Demytia returned to the room. The Tyr guards in the room, led by Tawad, were already impatient.
"When are we leaving?" Locke said directly to Tawad, "To avoid a bigger surprise, I suggest we leave now!" ”
"Wait! My lord! "Before Tawad could speak, Locke's Iron Guard captain was reluctant, and the Master Chief, who had many symbolic crutches on his chest, spoke out against it." For your safety, I don't recommend this. If we really want to go, it's us guards! ”
"Lord Tawad, how many of those followers of the Twilight Hammer are there?" Locke looked at the Master Chief who was keeping him safe, smiled and asked the Tyr guards behind him, "If possible, I want to transfer the nearest troops." ”
"There were less than thirty people, all spellcasters. But with all due respect, sir. They may just have doubts about this area, and they didn't really find out that there were ancient gods here. If you really send the army here, then there really won't be anything hidden here. ”
Tawad continued to persuade Locke, "Let's just sneak up and kill them." Then take out the silver hand and destroy the mausoleum, so that even if the other Twilight cultists find it, there will only be a large lake. ”
"If it's just these enemies, let's just go. Only ten people are needed, and the rest of the brothers are here to protect you. Master Chief insisted, "You are the future king of Lordaeron, and it is our duty to protect you. The situation we are facing now is exactly what it is our duty to do, not to put you at risk! ”
That's a good thing to say....
Locke patted Master Chief on the shoulder with relief, "Yes, Ral, you're right. I am the future king of Lordaeron, but I am also a warrior of the Light, a paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand. We are named after the Silver Hand, and now the Silver Hand is calling us. ”
"Moreover, if the demon Banazar did not defeat me, it proves that those people are no match for me."
Locke smiled at the Captain's words, and he turned to face Tawad, "Is this far from the tomb of Tyr?" ”
※※※
Berg and his clerk stayed, and they couldn't help in any way. Ten guards were also left behind to protect the town from possible terrorist attacks. Locke and Tyre's guards, along with the remaining fifteen Iron Guards, ascended the Kashgar Mountains against the back of Tranquility.
Ms. Bai hung high in the night sky of the Tirisfar woodland, which allowed the Kashgar Mountains, which were not very dense in the woodland, to see the road beneath her feet. Locke, led by the Iron Guards and the Tyr Guards, walked deep and shallow towards the top of the mountain.
"Tell me about the people who broke through the defenses and dissuasions of your ancestors." Locke walked in the middle of the line in full gear, the DK sword in his hand exuding a chill, glowing with a cold blue dim glow in the night.
"Him?" Tawad smiled wryly and shook his head, "He's a great man..."
"Why, is there such a big man that the Tyr guards admire?" Originally, it was just a casual conversation in the long night, but now Locke's interest came up, "Who is he?" ”
"Soladin, the founder of the Arathor Empire and the legendary emperor of the human kingdom..."
Locke stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but the Iron Guard and Tawad next to him helped him up.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape..."Locke regained his footing, and no one else could see his face in the night, only his slightly pitched voice, "I just heard me wrong?" Or are you mistaken? Lord Tawad? Are you sure it's Soladin the Great? ”
"Yes, in the latter part of his reign, he retired from the position of emperor. It is said that fascinated by the history of the human race, and curiosity eventually led him to explore the place. ”
Tawad looked intently at the sheep farm path under his feet, Locke was very curious about this legendary emperor, he was very depressed when he said half of Tawad, and could only continue to ask, "What happened later?" What's going on? ”
"Alas! At that time, the cemetery was not what it is now. Titan-style buildings cast by the Viku people caught his attention. Naturally, he confronted the humans who were already serving as Tyre's guards, resulting in a stalemate. Our ancestors did not allow them to set foot in this mausoleum, but the emperor was accompanied by powerful guards and learned wizards. ”
"Our ancestors didn't want anyone to disturb the peace of the cemetery, but they didn't want to cause bloodshed either. So, Soradin and his retinue forced their way through the guards and stormed the mausoleum. ”
But what happened after that, most of it was shrouded in rumors. It is said that Emperor Soladin and his retinue entered the dark mausoleum, and no one ever saw them coming out of it. ”
"But from that day on, the barrier of the mausoleum was much weaker. From time to time, strange sounds came out of the mausoleum... The guards knew that because of their foolishness in exploring the tomb, the wizards of Soradin must have broken the barrier of the mausoleum. So they didn't let anyone go there anymore. And they began to carry out centuries-long renovation of the surrounding environment of the mausoleum. ”
"They began to dig mountains, bulldoze hills ... Hundreds of years later, the mausoleum was completely hidden under the huge lake they had created on the top of the mountain. ”
"They hope to hide the news of the mausoleum in this way, fearing that the mausoleum will be disturbed by others again, and the ancient gods buried inside may awaken and release their evil power into this world again..."
