Chapter 217: The Book of Oracles
The mechanical spider docked on the edge of the black mire, slowly crouching.
Xiao Yu jumped off the back of the mechanical spider.
"Didi, Didi." The mechanical puppet followed Xiao Yu's back, making a strange noise.
The mechanical spider stood up, silently aside.
Xiao Yu looked curiously at the city, not knowing what kind of tasks were waiting for him in this lifeless city.
After walking some distance, a crisp system prompt sounded.
System: You've discovered the Lost City.
Xiao Yu walked to the interior of the Lost City, there was no one on the street, unlike the rest of the Dark Swamp, the sky here was very clear, and a ray of sunlight was projected from the sky, forming a dappled light and shadow in the city, looking at the scenery and architecture here, Xiao Yu felt like he had come to the ancient city of Europe in the seventeenth century.
In the middle of the street ahead, the water on the fountain was still gushing, and an unknown wildflower was quietly blooming, blooming in all its glory, but no one cared about it.
The streets are lined with shops with open doors but empty and nothing left in them.
"The Lost City." Xiao Yu savored the name, and the city was indeed a forgotten city.
Xiao Yu walks around the city, looking for useful clues.
"Didi, Didi." The robot puppet made a strange noise, as if guided by something, and walked towards a secluded alley next to it.
Xiao Yu suddenly forgot that the mechanical puppet was the master here, the key to the task, and would naturally provide clues to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu followed the robot puppet into the depths of the alley.
"Didi, a hundred yards ahead, the cardinal priest, the Nader half-undead, the level twenty elite" The mechanical puppet mechanically broadcast some information, after hearing this voice, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, what does this Nader half-undead mean?
"There shouldn't be any problem in dealing with a level 20 elite." Xiao Yu thought and prepared to go and clean up the cardinal.
"Didi, Didi." The mechanical puppet suddenly emitted some rapid alarm sounds, "One hundred yards behind, Cardinal Priest, number twenty, approaching, danger warning"
Xiao Yu glanced back, and found some red figures in the corner in the distance, Xiao Yu quickly started stealing, and the mechanical puppet also entered the stealth state.
Xiao Yu walked to the edge of the alley with the mechanical puppet, clinging to the wall. There were only two exits in front and back of this alley, only more than five yards wide, and there were towering courtyard walls next to it, Xiao Yu had no way back at all, so he could only hold his breath, hoping not to be discovered by these cardinal priests.
Twenty cardinals marched in a neat line.
Xiao Yu carefully looked at these cardinal priests, these cardinal priests were short in stature, about the same as dwarves, wearing red cloaks, covering their faces, and holding red scepters about two yards long in their hands.
The twenty red-clothed priests slowly approached Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu held his breath, looked at the faces of these red-clothed priests, and saw the faces of these red-clothed priests, Xiao Yu almost suffocated.
These ugly cardinals had half a human face, half a skeleton, no pupils in their eyes, and were pale and godless.
Seeing these red-clothed priests slowly approaching this side, Xiao Yu's heartbeat couldn't help but increase a little.
A cardinal priest suddenly raised his head and looked towards Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu hurriedly calmed himself down, the red-clothed priest didn't find anything, and continued to walk forward, and the team of twenty cardinal priests gradually walked away, and finally disappeared at the end of the alley.
"What the hell are these cardinals!" Xiao Yu vaguely understood the literal meaning of the half-undead of the Nader.
Xiao Yu followed the mechanical puppet forward for a distance.
"Didi, find the Book of Oracles, a hundred yards away," the cyborg said.
Xiao Yu understood that this hundred yards was the detection distance of the mechanical puppet, and any thing or creature that entered within a hundred yards of the distance could be detected by the mechanical puppet.
"The Book of Oracles?" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, what is this Book of Oracles?
"Take me to the Book of Oracles." Xiao Yu said that it was the first time he had given an order to a robot puppet, and he didn't know if the robot puppet would obey it, and Xiao Yu realized that this oracle book must be related to the mission.
"Targeted, Book of Oracles." The mechanical puppet heard Xiao Yu's order, said, and walked forward.
Xiao Yu followed the mechanical puppet and walked forward.
"Cardinal Priest Spotted Ahead"
"Can you get around it?" Xiao Yu asked, Xiao Yu was not afraid of a level 20 elite monster, but if he was discovered by the patrolling team of cardinals when dealing with the cardinals, it would be dangerous.
"Detour." The mechanical puppet took Xiao Yu forward for a distance, and then turned into an alley, and turned around in the alley to the door of a garden house.
Xiao Yu observed, this is a somewhat dilapidated house, the location is a bit remote, looking into the wall, the architectural style in the courtyard is quite peculiar, but it is not luxurious, it is estimated to be an ordinary people's house.
"Book of oracles, five yards away." The robot puppet said, walking back and forth in front of the door of the house, but never opened the door.
"Are there any monsters around?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The number of monsters is 0," the robot doll said.
Since there were no monsters, Xiao Yu was not worried, walked to the steps of the mansion, pushed the door of the mansion, and the door creaked open, falling a lot of dust, choking Xiao Yu coughed.
Fan away the dust, Xiao Yu walked into the courtyard, which was a garden full of flowers, all kinds of wild flowers bloomed wantonly, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Walking along the weedy gravel path, in the middle of the garden in front of us stood a white stone pillar about a yard high, with an old book on top.
"Discover the Book of Oracles," the auto doll said.
Xiao Yu walked to the stone pillar and glanced at the cover of the book, there were four ancient words on the cover of the book, Xiao Yu could vaguely recognize the words 'Book of Oracles'.
This is obviously just an ordinary book, what is it called the Book of Oracles, the name is so loud, Xiao Yu opened the Book of Oracles and looked through it.
"The creator god Walshid created this world, Walshid said, this world is in charge of you, God is the guardian of the world order, who violates the order established by God, must accept God's sanctions, and the divine right cannot be violated"
At the beginning of the book is about theocracy, saying that theocracy is sacred and inviolable.
"No wonder this book is called the Book of Oracles." Xiao Yu saw this series of nonsense, and his head was a little big for a while, in order to find clues, Xiao Yu had no choice but to watch patiently.
"In the year 2930, the Nadian violated the authority of the gods, and in order to punish the Nadians, the gods reduced the city of Snard to the center of the earth. The benevolent gods punished the Nadian and forgave the Nad, but the Nadian tried to resist, and the city of Resa tried to resist the gods with the strength of a city, but was eventually defeated by the gods and buried by the volcano. The Nadian action finally angered the gods, and the gods joined forces to send down divine punishment, destroying twenty-seven cities of the Nadians"
Seeing this, Xiao Yu understood that these Nader people were just the victims of the gods in order to maintain and demonstrate their divine power, and those Nader people were strong enough to dare to wage war against the gods.
"Yetuo City, founded in 2922" Xiao Yu turned another page, this page is to introduce the history of this lost city, Xiao Yu looked at it boringly, turned to the last page, on the last page of the Book of Oracles, there were some intermittent words.
"Here comes the Naders, these fugitives who have been chased by the gods, they are ferocious and terrible, they have stormed the city, they have slaughtered our people, we have fought bravely, the city is full of blood, the mist is everywhere, the forest is dead, Els is dead, the great gods are dead, have you given up on us"
The handwriting is very sloppy, which shows that the person who wrote them was very anxious at first, and it can be seen from the tone that he was desperate and helpless.
Looking at these words, a lot of pictures appeared in Xiao Yu's mind, and he roughly understood what happened to this matter, but there was no talk of how the city disappeared from the world's field of vision, and what happened later, and the follow-up content is still waiting for Xiao Yu to explore.
"Didi, the Cardinal Priest was spotted, number 1, approaching." The mechanical puppet said suddenly.
There is another cardinal priest, Xiao Yu has entered a stealth state, let's wait for the cardinal priest to leave, Xiao Yu thought to himself.
"Oh no, the door isn't closed." Xiao Yu realized that he didn't close the door when he came in, and if he went to close it now, it would be too late, so Xiao Yu could only stay where he was.
It is estimated that he found that the door of this courtyard was not closed, and a red figure walked towards the courtyard, looked at it, and walked in the direction where Xiao Yu was.
"Damn." Xiao Yu clenched the dagger in his hand, ready to kill the cardinal priest at any time, and secretly prayed, "I hope it won't attract more cardinals." ”
The cardinal priest drew closer, looked around, found the book on the pillar, and reached for it.
Unexpectedly, the Book of Oracles suddenly burst into brilliance, and in the white light, the body of the cardinal priest kept dissolving, letting out a terrible scream, and a dazzling white pillar of light fell on the cardinal's body, and the cardinal priest instantly vaporized into a white mist and disappeared.
Xiao Yu covered his eyes with his hand to block the dazzling white light, and after a while, the white light stopped, and the Book of Oracles returned to its original ordinary appearance, leaving only some ashes on the ground, proving that a cardinal priest had appeared.
Xiao Yu looked at the Book of Oracles in shock, he didn't expect this Book of Oracles to be so powerful.
Instant kill!
The level 20 elite cardinal priest was actually killed by this oracle book in one blow!
