Chapter 051: Sculpture
After two hours had passed, in the midst of the crowd and sound waves, Sauron's ears heard the eagleman's report, "My king, all the goods have been loaded, and the anchor is about to be lifted!" ”
Trade with the kingdom of the gods is about to begin, no words of excitement, no tiredness. The only feeling www.biquge.info the pen is doubt.
"What kind of scene will it be like to pass through that cloud curtain vortex?" A pair of silver eyes are always radiant, and the sharp gaze that does not let go of anything shines with the same desire to stop thinking.
On the shore, Jessica, the sacrifice of the gods, and a pair of young girls walked side by side, hurrying, talking and laughing, basking in the radiance of the gods, showing impatience.
Watching them step briskly and quickly, Sauron couldn't find a sense of steadiness. Travel back and forth from one dimension to another, trading. It's an unbelievable thing, even though it has a 'God-given' aura.
With Sauron's nod of approval, he ordered the young griffons to take the lead, leading about two hundred of their clan archers, avoiding the eyes of most people, and rushing onto the ship from the other side of the Great Ship of Light and Shadow.
The female warriors of these brave griffon tribes are all carefully selected marksmen.
They haunt the dense forests of the Splitting Mountain Falls, and even in the Griffon Tribe, few warriors can match their lightning agility, and Sauron has appointed them as their guardians.
"My king, as a diplomat of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, I will live up to my mission for the hard-won God-given trade!"
Before leaving, the only clergyman was a diplomat elder, and a pair of light blue eyes were slightly bulging, forming a plane with the eye sockets, and his eyes showed toughness and determination because of the rush of his heart. If you look closely, you can see that above the other person's eyes, there are two slightly raised shiny lines, and sparse eyebrows.
Correspondingly, Zoro's black eyebrows, which are as high as the two sword blades, and the deep and decisive eyes under the black eyebrows, are even more tenacious.
"I'm here with all my clansmen, waiting for your good news!" Sauron's palm lightly patted on the shoulder of the diplomat elder, and the feathers on the back of his hand could be seen thin, and the green veins were faintly visible.
…………
The diplomat elder ascended to the deck, and the moment the ship lifted anchor, a charred cloud like broken cotton wool appeared in the sky, and it became dark and chaotic.
The sea breeze sometimes blows the sails off, but without the wind, the ship cannot sail far.
However, the wind blew so violently that many of the people who stayed on the shore could not stand steadily, and had to hold on to their stakes so that they would not be blown into the sea. That kind of wind can blow a house into the illusory sea like a matchbox.
Immediately after, a strange sight appeared in front of Aaron's eyes, a huge ship of light and shadow sat like a giant in the mountains, with a serene expression and a solemn appearance. It doesn't need to be manually paddled, and it works naturally.
As for the sudden appearance of this unique sea breeze, it is a bit ruthless. It roared like a lion, as if it was about to tear the universe apart. The water of the entire illusory sea poured back and forth like a waterfall.
Finally, because of some kind of force. In Sauron's vision, the griffons and two hundred griffon archers fell into the sea like dumplings.
"Help!" Seeing this scene in his eyes made Zoro's face change slightly.
Gryphon tribe - Pioneer.
According to the tradition of the Zhurong tribe, 'Xian' is just a surname, and 'Li' is his first name.
The moment the hull of the ship began to operate, like other female archers, his feet were inexplicably empty, and Xianli suddenly felt a force pull his entire body down. It was as if the deck under your feet had been sucked away in an instant. A bunch of wings behind the back is useless.
Falling into the churning illusory sea, his body is getting heavier and heavier, and Xianli realizes that he is drowning! He desperately tried to get rid of it, but to no avail. He opened his mouth and shouted, but immediately his nose, mouth, ear canal, and eyes were filled with seawater, and he was pressed into the depths like a sponge...... After that, he didn't remember anything, and when he woke up, he was already lying on land.
After counting the number of people, it was found that ten griffon female archers were swept away by the illusory and real sea breeze and whirlpool, which was like a warning.
Watching the previously calm illusory sea continue to churn, the hazy shadow of the white sailing ship sails smoothly and enters the center of the vortex surrounded by the cloud curtain one after another, giving people a new understanding of the 'trade' between these spaces.
"God-given trade may be a gift from the gods. Only with awe can this fireworks shine. ”
Sauron tugged at the corners of his mouth. But even if he can be open-minded, it seems that there are not only a few people who have this kind of awe of the unknown.
"It's not a force of nature, and I've never seen anything like it in my memory."
Xianli's father, Xianshan, the patriarch of the griffin tribe, muttered a whisper from his mouth. The relentless scratching of the years has made that face wrinkled and deep, like cracked earth.
And witnessing the changes of the wind and clouds, the unbelievable scene, made him hold an attitude of 'awe' and look at the sky with a different kind of gaze.
Seventy-year-old Xianshan, in his cloudy eyes, swayed clear blue ripples, as if in old age, he found his life, as well as the beginning of the griffin tribe.
……
As the sun slowly descends, it is bright and dazzling, and the sea and sky are suddenly sprinkled with golden light.
The last light and shadow ship entered the whirlpool, and the surface of the illusory sea returned to calm from churning, and all those cloud curtains and whirlpools disappeared.
It's as if nothing just happened before.
As time passed, the sunset on the horizon hung like a soft fireball on the edge of the sea and the sky.
Perhaps it had been hanging for too long, but it slowly sank and came to a steady halt as soon as it reached the surface, but this was not a good sign for Sauron.
Because the next moment, the sunset may disappear.
"Look there, my king, it's Rudolph!"
The sun was still half an hour away, and following the direction of the eagle man's raised hand finally made Zoro's slightly regretful heart beat again.
In the direction of the west, a cloud of dust rose in the distance.
In Sauron's horizon, there was probably a team of thousands of people, running the plains. And the Eagle Scouts sent out earlier had also taken the lead in flying into the Eagle King's territory.
About ten minutes later......
A large pile of glittering, mysteriously radiant crystals piled up next to a stake in Sauron's eyes.
"My king, collect the crystal stones...... More than 13,000! Panting and hoarse, Rudolph looked a little tired and weak. Sweat flowed out, and the whole person looked like a drowning person who had just been rescued from the illusory sea.
It only took half an hour to reach the destination.
Let Rudolph exhaust the last shred of strength in his body. Seeing the Eagle King's eye waves flowing, unfathomable and mysterious. This made him unable to understand the purpose of collecting these crystal stones.
"Summon the Sky Temple, before sunset, collect 0/13268 of the number of crystal stones."
Witnessing the refreshed data, Zoro knew that with 10,000 crystal stones, the number here would only be more and not less.
It's just that how to use these crystal stones to summon a temple out of thin air makes him feel a little puzzled. And seeing that the time is approaching night, at this time, the afterglow of the sunset on the horizon will soon disappear.
Staring at the sunset on the horizon, those silver eyes became brighter and sharper, and due to carelessness, a crystal stone, from Sauron's palm, fell into the mud and sand that seemed to be filled with moisture under his feet, followed by the data reflected in Sauron's eyes, and refreshed it in seconds.
"Summon the Void Space Temple, before sunset, collect 1/13268 of the number of crystal stones."
Thinking back to the vision that had happened a few hours earlier, Sauron quickly reacted. In his half-open, half-closed, silent eyes, a sharp light shot from within. "Drop it down, throw these crystals into the Illusory Sea. Now is the time! ”
……
…………
The sun is fading away, night is coming, and night fog covers the land.
"Collect 10,000/13,268 crystals to summon the Sky Temple!"
The light of torches rising from the shore, and witnessing the appearance of the temple under the gaze of many eagle people with demented eyes is like witnessing the whole process of a crystal flower blooming perfectly.
Under the impetus and squeezing of the blisters, a crystal tile roof is first revealed in the horizon, just like a crystal island, rising in the eyes of everyone.
After a while, everyone but Zoro could barely believe their eyes.
In the line of sight, a temple appeared silently, the appearance was covered with crystals, and from a distance, the whole building was like a white sail racing, mighty, giving people a strange sense of vision in stillness.
With the surging of the blisters, there was still no sound, and a crystal path stretched to the feet, and the kind of smoothness did not need to be polished, because it was already smooth.
Whether it is this crystal road or the temple, it gives people a solemn, quiet and mysterious atmosphere. With the complicated feeling of peeping into the unknown, he stepped on it gently, walked forward slowly, and the sound of footsteps sounded in his mind: "Tong, Tong, Tong, Tong..."
The so-called temple is, to put it bluntly, actually a crystal hall.
Passing through the Moon Gate, the eyes suddenly opened up.
On the crystal-colored ceiling, several large crystal glass chandeliers are hung, scattering soft light like the moon. The crystal ground is shining with a glittering light, reflecting the reflection of a person.
Two crystal pillars stood tall in the middle of the hall, like two giant hands, firmly lifting the top of the hall. The mirror-like floor and the uniquely shaped ceiling are integrated with the surrounding crystal sculptures, reflecting each other in the eyes of Zoro.
Placed in the center of the hall, there are statues all around, which are not at all elaborate or original. Because the faces of these statues are all blurred, at least not even the facial features are clearly protruding.
The so-called Sky Temple is unfolding right in front of you. The hall was largely empty except for a few nameless statues.
……
If a person wants to drink water, as if he feels like he can drink the whole ocean, that is a kind of faith.
When you actually drink it, you can only drink two glasses in total - that's the reality.
Zoro's expression stiffened, and he let out a long sigh with a deep brow, unable to hide his disappointment at the 'reality' in front of him. Until next to his ear, an unbelievable voice was heard.
"This, my king! This turned out to be a temple! ”
The whole man was nailed there, as if the ground was about to crack at his feet, and let his feet take root. Many people, including Rudolph, couldn't believe what was in front of him, his brain, and even lost the ability to direct his own actions, only to stand there like a log, with two eyes in his eyes, looking at it all with a bit of a daze.
Rudolph's words attracted the attention of everyone present.
When he came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Rudolph's face, and Zoro's eyebrows were slightly raised, slightly hopeful, and slightly surprised.
This guy actually knows the Temple?
"So, you've seen other temples?"
Hearing Zoro's question, Rudolph seemed to have just been awakened from a dream, he didn't say anything, he took two or three steps back, and then touched the crystal ground with one knee, his face first turned pale, and then turned extremely red with excitement.
In fact, as Sauron had guessed.
Rudolph was a barbarian with a mysterious origin, but he was no stranger to the Temple. At the very least, he had some knowledge of the legends surrounding the temple.
Those are the three known temples: the Temple of Light, the Temple of Wisdom, and the Temple of Hurricanes.
Moreover, because of the existence of the three temples, the temple can have a life of up to 600 years and become a demigod being.
"My king! Touch the sculptures and you will learn the power of the temple. ”
Under Rudolph's fanatical, almost pleading gaze, Zoro moved slightly, giving Rudolph a puzzled look, but finally listened to his advice.
Suddenly,-
Many people's eyelids jumped at the same time, and the eyeballs seemed to want to pop out, and shot out a fierce light, in his perspective.
I saw the moment Sauron touched the sculpture, the sculpture without a face instantly shone brightly.
The Eagle King's state was automatically lifted, and Sauron, who had returned to his human form, touched the sculpture as if he had been sucked in.
His narrow and slender palms were very white, and there was a soft blue light under his nails.
Feeling a huge suction, as powerful as steel, tough as a steel wire, pulling a trace of crimson from Sauron's fingertips.
With the pain of his fingertips, Sauron's face suddenly turned red, until it was covered with faintly visible cobweb-like green tendons.
At this time, there is also another pair of hands.
The Eagle King's guard officer Weavers' hands were large, with prominent joints, a well-developed color like bronze casting, and the palms were full of calluses, all of which made him draw his sword very quickly. (To be continued.) )
