Chapter 287: The Temple
After calming down his friends who had been scattered in the ruins of the floating island, Rococo took the longbow from his back and held it in his hand, and after finally checking the iron doors behind the high wall ruins on both sides to make sure that there was nothing to take advantage of the gap in escape, he walked along the steps on the other side of the platform towards the temple above.
This desperate desert trip, originally just to help the flash bubbles extract the true red crystal necessary for the inheritance mission and go to the desert oasis to find the sand yang fruit, but by chance encountered the fallen Beamon who appeared on the southeast side of the desperate desert, and then encountered the sky whales who were suspected of chasing after and annihilating those fallen Beamon, Rococo Their adventure this time suddenly deviated greatly from their original direction.
From the southeast side of the Desperate Desert close to the Eastern Continent of Order, I came to the middle of the Desperate Desert, which is the real dividing line between the Eastern Continent of Order and the Northern Continent of Chaos, and along the way, I saw the hinterland scenery of the Desperate Desert that has never been shown in front of the players so far, and saw the scene of the wind elemental creatures fighting the fallen Beamon like a microcosm of the centuries-old strife between order and chaos in the middle of the Desperate Desert, and even saw the top powerhouse of the two camps on the continent in this era. An earth-shattering battle between the ancestor of the wind elemental and the fallen god of war, Beamon...... And all this is because Rococo and his party encountered a sky whale in the desert and were sucked into their bodies by it.
For Rococo's friends, they just thought that there would be such an adventure, probably because they were lucky enough to appear at the scene of the Sky Whale destroying Chaos Beamon, so maybe some plot mission was triggered. Rococo thought so at first, but after seeing the Wind Elemental Ancestor in her previous battles, she finally had a vague guess.
And now, as the Sky Whale followed the Ancestor of the Wind Elementals, took them to the ruins of the floating island and left them behind, only to leave her alone near a temple, Rococo's speculation gradually made her feel closer to the truth.
Walking slowly up the steps, Rococo looked at the interior of the temple, which was a little dim due to the lack of light, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked in with his hand on the bowstring. If her guess is true, then there shouldn't be any danger here, but it's not a bad thing to be careful.
At the moment when Rococo stepped on the floor of the temple with one foot, suddenly on both sides of the main entrance, two bright orange torches lit out of thin air, extending from the doorway to the inside of the temple to form a bright passageway, at the same time, from the ceiling at the top of the temple, countless ice crystals floated in mid-air out of thin air, but because of the breeze blowing from nowhere, they only floated near the ceiling and did not fall, and the aqua blue ice crystals reflected the light from the ground torch near the ceiling, It adds a beautiful splendor to the temple illuminated by the torch.
On the left side is a human man holding a sword in his left hand and a book in his right hand and a humanoid dragon with dragon wings and tail wearing dragon scale tight armor, and on the right is a beast warrior with a strong physique holding a battle axe and an elven old man wearing a staff in a magic robe, and at the end of the torch road, there is an empty flat land also surrounded by torches, and on the stone wall of the temple opposite the flat ground, The statue of Arya, the goddess of creation, is carved there, and it is full of mystery and holiness under the light of the torch and the refraction of ice crystals.
Slowly walking into the temple, Rococo slowly walked to the small square inside the temple, raised his head, Rococo looked at the statue of Arya on the wall, and couldn't help but have a very strange feeling.
It wasn't the first time she'd seen the statue of Arya on the continent of Emissia, but there was no doubt that the statue in this temple resembled Arya herself more than the stone statues enshrined in the Holy City by the Cult of Creation, but because of this, the sculpture gave Rococo a greater sense of disobedience. After all, since entering "Redemption", Rococo has not seen the unreliability of the natural goddess, but perhaps because of the relationship between the static demeanor, or because of the addition of the art form of the stone sculpture itself, the goddess statue in front of her, which is nine or five points similar to Arya herself, brings her a sense of holiness that she has never felt from Arya herself.
And just as she was carefully looking at the statue of Goddess Arya that existed on the back wall of the temple, suddenly, in the open space of the square in front of the statue of the goddess, with bursts of powerful magic fluctuations, ripples appeared in the space like water, and then, the stone bricks on the ground of the square flew up, forming three rings in mid-air, in the center of the ring, the cyan wind elemental airflow gathered and condensed into a humanoid body with only outlines but no detailed posture or even facial features, and as the arms of the body opened, Two streams of water swirled from the fingertips on the left side and wrapped around the left arm, while on the right, the five fingers opened their palms upward, and a red flame appeared above the palms.
Rococo was stunned for a moment, and then heard a voice that was neither male nor female, coming from the elemental humanoid.
“…… Strange human adventurer, why did you break into here? ”
Intrude...... Obviously, it was your Sky Whale who forced us here, okay......
However, Rococo didn't care about complaining about the other party at the moment, she looked up at the top of the elemental humanoid's head, and after seeing the words "Elemental Ancestor" floating there, she immediately squinted her eyes.
The game system is equipped with an adventure assist system that can help players identify the identity of the creature in front of them, but all that can be read is the external identity of the other person when facing the other person. Just like if Rococo wears a mask under the identity of an NPC and calls himself Merrie Elu, the name of the NPC will immediately change from "Primordial Fairy Rococo" to "Mysterious Fairy Girl Meriellu", as long as other NPCs change their appearance or make some kind of disguise through some means, then before their true identities are recognized, the identity name of the other party will be displayed in the identification of the player system as a matter of course.
If it is an ordinary player, it may be difficult to doubt the "Ancestor of the Elements" in front of him, after all, the powerful power fluctuations emanating from the "Ancestor of the Elements" in front of him are not fake with this temple, and the appearance of the "Ancestor of the Elements" does seem to integrate the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth, which is in line with the legendary description of the Ancestor of the Elements controlling the power of the four elements.
But for Rococo, who inherited the memory of the original goblin, the "Ancestor of the Elements" in front of him can be described as full of loopholes. Putting aside the fact that only the Primordial Fairy and several other order camp superbosses know that the Ancestor of the Elements has long been divided, the simple appearance of this "Ancestor of the Elements" is very different from the Ancestor of the Genuine Elements, the Ancestor of the Genuine Elements is a super existence that has truly achieved the balance and integration of the four elements, and the one in front of him seems to be a combination of the four elements, but in fact, except for the wind element as the main body, the other three elements are simply in vain, and have not reached the level of balance and unity of the four elements at all.
Is the Wind Ancestor Spirit deceiving itself? But if that's the case, why would it use this lame disguise that she knew was a hoax at a glance?
"I am entrusted by the great Goddess Arya to be in charge of the elemental balance of the world, strange adventurer, please tell me what you are here for!"
As if because Rococo didn't answer it, the Ancestor of the Elements paused for a moment, and then spoke again.
Hearing the Wind Ancestor Spirit once again emphasizing his identity as the "Ancestor of the Elements", Rococo had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly felt a little realised.
He looks exactly the same as the original primordial goblin Merialu, which should be the reason why the Wind Ancestor Spirit instructed the Sky Whale to bring them here, but at the same time, he is now in player mode, and in addition to his appearance, his strength and identity are very different from Meriairlou, it is estimated that because of this, I am afraid that the Wind Ancestor Spirit is only surprised by his appearance but can't confirm whether he has anything to do with the primordial elf, so he wants to test her in this way, right?
"Your Excellency, you are not the real Elemental Ancestor, the Elemental Ancestor was disturbed by chaos in the Ancient Creation War, and has already incarnated into the Four Great Ancestral Spirits, if my guess is correct, Your Excellency should be the Ancestor Spirit of the Wind."
If you understand the reason, you naturally have to prescribe the right medicine to deal with it. The Wind Ancestor Spirit can't confirm her identity, so it's good for her to prove her identity to it.
"I know that it is difficult for you to trust you in my current state, but I still hope that you can believe that although I am not the original Lord Merielo, I am the one who has been entrusted by Lord Arya to inherit the original fairy inheritance. Now this alien adventurer identity is just one of the identities I have to carry out the mission assigned by the goddess, and if you still can't believe me, my other true doppelganger as the new primordial goblin will soon reach the Desperate Desert, and I will be able to prove my true identity to you. ”
Rococo's expression had always been very calm when she said this, but in fact, she was not so sure in her heart.
A straightforward approach like this is the simplest and most straightforward approach in Rococo's opinion. Since the Wind Ancestor Spirit was willing to let Sky Whale send her here, it meant that even if her identity could not be confirmed, it was inclined to believe that she was related to the Primordial Elves. The secret of the Elemental Ancestor's split is known only to a few people in this world, and the fact that he has a face identical to Merielo's as an insider, should at least dispel most of the suspicions of the Wind Ancestor Spirit because of this.
But this is Rococo's own calculation after all, once the Wind Ancestor Spirit is the type that is very suspicious, it is possible that he will not be moved by her words, thinking of this, Rococo can't help but feel a little weak, is he a little too straightforward.
The "Elemental Ancestor" on the other side was silent for a while, and just when Rococo nervously thought that he had failed to gain trust after all, he was pleased to find that the "Elemental Ancestor"'s body began to change.
“…… I believe in you, honorable Lord of the Primordial Elves. ”
