Chapter 507: A Secret Hidden Under the Tip of the Iceberg (Part II)
Despite the intricacies of the underground waterways, Founder quickly found Nimfu, Javelin, and Fina under the guidance of the chains. At this time, the three of them were also hiding at the entrance of a sewer, quietly peeking to the other side. Seeing the appearance of Fangzheng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Fangzheng, it's good that you're okay."
"Looks like you're not in any danger."
Facing Fina, Fang Zheng also nodded, and at this moment, Fina had put on her priest's robe again. However, perhaps because she had been soaked in the water for too long before, Fina's priestly robe was wet all over her body, and it was tightly attached to the girl's body, so that when Fina bent down, Fang Zheng could even see the fabrics on her chest that were tightly clinging to her skin, unwilling to follow Newton's laws and set off the rounded lines......... Well, it's a different way to look at it.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Silently reciting a sentence in his heart, Fang Zheng immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Nimfu.
"Where's that big friend of ours?"
"Right at the end of this passage, master."
Nimfu reached out and gestured to that side.
"I sensed it moving this way, but it hasn't moved since."
"Good."
After receiving Nimfu's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he turned his head and gestured to the others.
"Let's go check on the situation, Iona, Nimfu, you two come with me, Miss Fina, you follow, Javelin, protect Fina."
"Okay."
After giving the order, Fang Zheng walked into the sewer in front of him, and walked forward in the direction Nimfu had assigned.
There was a dead silence throughout the sewers, and there weren't even rats or other small underground creatures that would normally appear underground, not even weeds or anything like that. Not only that, but on the way here, Fangzheng has also discovered that the situation here is quite special. The entire sewer was not built out of something like cement in Founder's impression, nor was it simply a hole dug out. On the contrary, everything here seems to have been artificially constructed.
But as Nimfu had felt before, it was just one result. Fang Zheng also found that the whole place revealed a female god who said, "I want to have a hot spring where you can take a bath without being disturbed and peep, and preferably with beer and sausages, and it won't block the sewers, and it can last a lifetime", and then it directly formed such a thing.
As for how this thing was excavated, the process of building it by what process or architectural principle was directly skipped.
Is this goddess reliable?
It can be said that by now, the original image of the goddess in Fang Zheng's mind has completely collapsed, and has been replaced by an image that he doesn't know what to say at all......... But in any case, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with words like honoring the sacred.
I guess that the so-called goddess guardian is something like that.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also sighed, originally he came here to see if he could analyze the civilization and technology of the Goddess of Creation. But now it seems that his wishful thinking has failed, and if all the creations of this creation goddess are this kind of "not talking about the process and only looking at the result" thing, then he can be said to have achieved nothing at all.
However, Fang Zheng also suspected that the power of the Goddess of Order to create the world may not be the same as the power she herself used. He had also read it from the canon before, but the goddess of order taught the knowledge and skills of the civilization of the people on this continent, and these things need to be "processed", not as simple as "the old lady said you will, you will".
From the previous conversation with the Knight Captain of Wells, Fang Zheng has also discovered that this world does have their own system of order, including the power of the stars and the existence of various forces, orders and rules.
The connection between these things is quite tight, not like the forces here, just looking at the results, and the process is completely random. Then it means that the knowledge that the goddess of order has taught to the people of this continent should not be exactly the same as the power she uses.
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, the group also passed through the underground waterway and came to another exit. It's also a huge space, but judging by the surrounding drainage pipes, it's supposed to be a place for the integration and diversion of the underground waterways. At this moment, it was here that Fang Zheng finally saw for the first time the true appearance of the "Giant of Light" recorded by the Fino Knight.
It looked like a combination of energy and armor. On the armor of the Giant of Light, you can clearly see the white background, inlaid with gold thread patterns. And the armor of the entire Giant of Light consists of a helmet, shoulder armor, breastplate, gauntlets, waist skirt and combat boots. As for the rest of the places that are not shrouded in armor, they are made entirely of light. It appears to be something disembodied, resembling a magical creature. And Fang Zheng didn't see any sword or other weapons in the hands of this giant of light.
But even so, through the marks on these armors, Fang Zheng could tell that it seemed to have experienced a very hard battle, and these traces were not very long, and there were even places where debris was falling with the movements of the Giant of Light. In this way, the possibility that this giant of light is the guardian of those who destroy monsters has increased.
But what is it doing here? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the heart of the area.
"Nimfu, can you parse it?"
"Hard, host. I can detect that there is some kind of force field around the opponent's body, and if I invade, it is very likely that the other party will find out. ”
Replaced by the original Nimfu, I am afraid that he would have started to act without saying a word, but obviously, the unreasonable manufacturing method of this goddess ruin has also hit Nimfu quite hard, so the little angel began to speak a lot more cautiously at this time.
Who knows how the goddess made this thing.
What if she had thought "I'm going to make an invulnerable bodyguard".........
"Why don't we just go over and talk to each other?"
Clutching the scepter in her hand, Fina also offered her opinion.
"Since the other party is the guardian of the goddess, then we should not be enemies, we are both children of order, why can't we communicate with words?"
"I doubt that this thing has the ability to communicate with others, and even if it did, it's hard to say whether the values of that era were the same as those of today."
Fang Zheng was also not very optimistic about Fina's proposal, after all, this thing looked more like a rigid automatic defense system than an artificial intelligence with the ability to judge itself. The evidence is that the Fino knights followed each other all the way before, if this thing really has its own will, it is impossible not to observe the existence of Fino and others, but it completely ignores those paladins, although it cannot be said to be absolute, but in the face of a "Gundam" more than eighty meters high in the depths of the earth, Fang Zheng decided to be cautious.
“—————”
Before everyone could come to a conclusion, the giant of light suddenly raised its head, and as if it sensed something, it turned around silently and walked to the other side. Then Fang Zheng saw the Giant of Light walk to the wall on the other side not far away, and then it stretched out its hand as if pressing something on the wall, and then, the Giant of Light's form flashed, and was swallowed up by a flash of light, and disappeared without a trace.
"Let's take a look."
Seeing the Giant of Light disappear, Fang Zheng also hurriedly led the others out of the underground waterway and came to the wall where the Giant of Light had disappeared, and it was only at this time that they found that there was a magic circle pattern on the wall in front of them that looked like a circular teleportation array, obviously, this should be a portal somewhere.
"Master, please let me try."
But this time, before Fina could speak, Nimfu raised her hand.
"Do you have a solution?"
"Yes."
In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, Nimfu nodded slightly, and then she looked at the priest Miss not far away, and directly answered the other party in the depths of her heart through spiritual connection.
"If my judgment is correct, then the Holy Light used by Miss Fina should be just a simple fluctuation of energy frequency. As long as you can imitate this fluctuation, then you can activate it even without the Light and devotional faith, if that's the case........."
"It shows that the goddess of order is indeed an existence from a higher civilization."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng also understood what Nimfu meant. Assuming that the so-called "devout faith" is simply a modification, and if there is no condition for this "devout faith" to be activated as well, then it means that all this is at least within the scope of their understanding.
Until then, though.........
"First of all, I need to determine the location of the portal, I don't want to be teleported to some kind of hell."
"Understood, master."
Hearing this, Nimfu also nodded, and then saw the little angel spread her wings and flew into the air, and soon came to the place where the giant of light stood before, and then she closed her eyes and stretched out her hand. Soon, Fang Zheng saw a faint light coming from all around the little angel's body, and at the same time, the portal in front of them began to gradually flicker as if it had been activated.........
"Master, the detection has been completed, and it can indeed be activated. The location of this portal should be on the surface, and if my prediction is correct, its location is more or less the interior of the Chaos Lands. It should be quite a bit of a distance from our camp........."
"Uh-huh.................."
Hearing Nimfu's answer, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, and then made a decision.
"Nimfu, activate the portal and get us out of here!"
"Yes, master!"
