Chapter 216: The Mummy on the Golden Throne

The pyramids, as we all know, are the traditional architecture of ancient Egypt, which is simply the tomb of the king after his death.

The design inspiration and art style of the medieval Warhammer Riguni Hekhara are basically from ancient Egypt, and the pyramids are an iconic structure that you can't miss.

Since the "Immortal the Great" Setra, almost every priest king has built a pyramid for himself during his lifetime, the most famous of which is the "Great Black Pyramid" of the old man Nagasna.

Most of these pyramids are in the territory of Gunekhkala in the south of the Old World, which is now the "Land of the Dead", and it is rarely found in other places.

No one wants to be buried in a foreign land after death, let alone a king of Nehekhara, who worships death.

The pyramid in front of the stone is not large, covering an area similar to two basketball courts, about ten stories high, and there seems to be nothing special about the appearance, it is a triangular and four-sided pointed cone stone building, but the gray-white stone polished on the surface has been eroded by the years, and has long been mottled, and many places are faintly yellow.

There is a small rectangular door on the east and west sides of the pyramid, from which the tomb guards rushed out just now, and there is a larger doorway on the north side, which is supposed to be the main entrance.

Shi didn't hesitate too much, and took more than a hundred orcs and entered directly through the open main gate.

Inside, there is a large section of stone stairs with no end in sight, spiraling upward, and the inside is not as dim as expected, on the contrary, due to the large number of glitter stones inlaid at the top, as well as various other dazzling gems that cannot be named, the whole passage is illuminated as daylight, and even the murals on the stone walls on both sides are clear.

I don't know what kind of pigment these murals are used to paint, after hundreds of thousands of years, they are still brightly colored and lifelike, and the stones are probably glanced at a few times, and the paintings are nothing more than some scenes of the ancient Nekhkara people worshipping the gods, plus a large section of Nekhkara characters, there is nothing special.

After walking for about ten minutes, it is estimated that I have come to the middle of the pyramid, and finally a small door with light finally appears in front of me, everyone passes through the door, and what catches their eyes is a vast space with a height of more than ten meters, the higher the narrower, the top is naturally the spire of the pyramid.

As soon as the orc, who followed closely behind the stone, walked out of the passage and glanced left and right, he immediately pulled out his weapon and let out a roar, as if he was about to fight.

They were quickly stopped by their own boss, who knew what the big guys were stimulating, nothing more than the silent statues around them.

Originally, around the hall against the wall, there was a neat circle of various structures.

The most numerous of them were the Ushabits, who had just seen kobolds with twin knives, as well as the bird-headed Ushabit, who held a giant bow, and the taller, ancient Ushabit, who held a giant sickle-shaped two-handed knife, and finally had a crocodile head on it, which looked even more ferocious.

It was precisely because of the sight of these familiar faces that the orcs picked up the guys and prepared to fight, but what they didn't know was that these structures were not infused with the heroic spirits of Nehekhara warriors, which were just mechs without power on, similar to decorations.

In addition to Ushabit, the stone also saw several familiar tomb giant scorpions, tomb walkers with human faces and snake bodies, basically a common construct class in the undead army of ordinary tomb kings, and he also found a real big guy in the depths of the hall.

It was a super-large structure the size of a dragon, and orcs who had not seen it did not recognize it, but the stone could call its name at a glance, "Battle of the Sphinx", a behemoth comparable to a dragon.

Good guy, I didn't expect there to be this here, if all the structures in this hall are awakened, not to mention a small "Broken Claw Tribe", maybe all the forces of the entire "Northern Border Alliance" combined may not be able to stop this terrible legion.

When you see the "Conquest of the Sphinx", you know that this hall is the resting place of the Priest King, and it is the exclusive mount of the Priest King, as well as those constructs, which are also elite troops.

As for the other massive skeleton cannon fodder, they are not qualified to stand in this hall, their sleeping place should be the bottom of the pyramid.

Telling the boys not to move in place for the first time, so as not to touch any mechanism to prevent tomb robbers, the stone continued to look around carefully.

The whole hall was brightly lit, and the walls were filled with flaming candles, but it was not as golden as he had imagined.

You know, this is a tomb of a priest-king, and according to the customs and wealth of the ancient Nekhkala, he would not be surprised at all if the walls and floors of the entire hall were covered with gold bricks, but now there is no superfluous ornamentation in the stone except for the golden throne in the middle and a sarcophagus behind it.

This is also not in line with Nehekhala's golden tyrant style, and it is inevitably too simple, so simple that he even suspects that he has come to the wrong place.

But soon his attention was drawn away from other places.

The stone found that on the gray stone floor, it was painted with various dark red patterns, and countless geometric figures crisscrossed it, presenting an eerie messy beauty.

Centered on the throne in the center of the hall, these motifs spread in all directions, covering the entire floor, then up the corners, and even covering the frescoes on the walls, until finally to the spire at the top.

What is this operation? The stone was sure that this was definitely not an ordinary pattern, otherwise how could it cover all those large and large murals, it must have been painted after the fact, and judging from the magic fluctuations that these patterns vaguely emanated, it was very likely that this was a huge and complex magic array.

Having a general understanding of the layout of the hall, and finding that there was still no movement in the system, Stone instructed Simu to continue to stay where he was with the orcs, while he himself walked towards the throne in the middle, he had a hunch, and the answers to all his doubts were there.

To be precise, the throne was not in the middle of the pyramid, and the position was occupied by the sarcophagus behind him, which was not surprising to the stone, which was the "Coffin of the Souls".

The surface of the bottle is engraved with various Nekhkara hieroglyphs, and the sarcophagus inlaid with various gold and precious stones is the heart of the Tomb King's legion.

It is inhabited by the restless souls of the undead legion, and those skeletons that have died in battle, as long as their souls are immortal, will automatically return to the "Coffin of Soul Gathering", waiting for the next summon of the Lich Priest, re-enter the new bone frame, or be directly injected into the construct to continue the battle for the loyal king.

As for the golden throne in front of it, and the mummy corpse sitting on it, there is no doubt that it is the owner of this pyramid, a former priest-king of Nehekhara.

However, as soon as the stone approached, something unusual was immediately noticed.

On the forehead of this king, there is a dagger that is clearly dangling.
