Chapter 489: The Mural
I was overjoyed, feigned disappointment and said, "Come back, Tyrannosaurus rex!" β
"How?" Zhao Ritian asked me.
"How?" I asked Leo.
"Wait a minute, get out of here first......" Leo seemed to have really discovered something, and didn't bother to talk to me.
"Sure enough, it didn't ......," I said with regret.
"Find another way!" Zhao Ritian said, "The Emperor Minotaur would not show these words in this way for no reason, and did not give a combination of ......"
"I think so," I said, "but the way to piece together these spells is probably not here?" Why don't we jot down these mantras, get out of the labyrinth, and look for the answers in the back? β
Zhao Ritian began to hesitate.
"Big deal, if we can't find a clue, we'll come back and look for it! I remember the route anyway! "I simply told a lie.
I can't remember any other route than the correct route......
"Well, then!" Zhao Ritian took several breaths and said, "Look behind!" If I can't do it, I'll go back to the surface, and even if I kill the oracle and the high priest, I'll come in again!" β
I thought to myself, "You don't have this chance!"
We started to "go back", to the right route, and continued to walk in front of the maze, and it didn't take long for us to get out of the three-dimensional maze.
During this time, Leo remained silent, as if sorting out those clues.
"Depth, it's also seventeen rooms," Zhao Ritian was preoccupied, but he didn't forget to count the number of rooms, "Seventeen times seventeen, it's four thousand nine hundred and thirteen rooms!" This is, the seventeenth-order Rubik's Cube! β
"Leave him alone," I said, looking at a wide square passage ahead, "maybe the treasure and the clues to solving the puzzle are ahead!" β
"Then, let's go over and have a look!" Zhao Ritian easily made up his mind.
This time, the space outside the exit is very small, and only the bottom two floors of the three-dimensional maze can be seen, and the rooms above are buried in the boulders above, merging with the entire plot.
This made me wonder once again if the three-dimensional labyrinth was really carved out of the boulders, but the walls of those rooms were unbelievably solid.
I tried, and the stone wall beyond the exit was easily smashed open by a hammer.
"This labyrinth, sure enough, is to save those words!" Zhao Ritian said, "Let's go, the most important thing now is to find the clues to piece together the text!" β
The passage ahead is square, with stone slabs on the ground, steps and notches for torches in the walls, and even some frescoes.
"How can the people who build the dungeon have superfluous artistic cells?" Zhao Ritian said a little depressed.
However, we were all attracted by the content of these murals.
The brushwork of the mural is very rough, it can even be said to be simple, and it is similar to what I wrote when I was a child, and it is a bit like the stickman martial arts cheats painted by Zhao Leao, in short, some simple lines and color blocks. The content of the mural is naturally the life deeds and great exploits of the Minotaur the Great.
The content on the mural is almost the same as what is recorded in the book.
The Minotaur the Great, born differentβhe was stronger and smarter than children of his age, much better than when I was a child.
His excellence was not only in his childhood, but also continued into his adulthood, and in the adult trial, he even killed a powerful demonic beast - a juvenile Beamon!
You must know that the Beamon Behemoth is a super high-level magical beast comparable to a dragon, and the adult Beamon, I'm afraid that even a legendary powerhouse like the Ron City Lord can only avoid its edge, and the juvenile Beamon Behemoth is also much stronger than the ordinary intermediate Demonic Beast, and the newly adult Minotaur can kill the juvenile Beamon, which is already much stronger than the current young patriarch!
After shining in the adult trial, the Minotaur embarked on a magnificent and wonderful legendary road, becoming the youngest Minotaur powerhouse, at that time, the orc race had not yet united, not to mention united, even mutual non-aggression that could not be done, all day long was to consume each other, generation enmity, our grudge with the wolf clan, in fact, it was formed at that time, at that time, the relationship between the trolls and the fox clan and us was not much better. However, with such a powerful and intelligent young warrior as Minotaur, he naturally had the upper hand in the struggle, and slowly, Minotaur became the patriarch and began to integrate the races of the entire Kalmdo steppe - not to invade, but to subdue all races with strong strength, even the powerful races such as the lion, tiger and elephant rhinoceros had to bow their heads and submit to them, after all, the orc race at that time did not have so many angry warriors and priests, and not many people mastered the madness skill, and the overall strength was very weak.
However, at that time, the orcs, except for the trolls and a few races who did not believe in the Mother Earth God and her children, did not have much difference in faith, just because the places of residence were scattered, and there were no majestic altars and grand temples to worship the gods, so the divine revelation and blessings that people received were not as good as they are now.
The Minotaur unified all the orcs, built altars, temples, and palaces, and was about to become emperor.
At this point, the content of the mural is exactly the same as that recorded in the book.
Next, something was different.
According to the book, the actions of the Minotaur the Great caused unease among humans and elves, and they sent an elite assassination team to carry out the assassination, and at that time, the Minotaur the Great conquered the coastal area, and even the sea with the monsters and fishmen of the sea, and prepared to build a treasure labyrinth on an island. This labyrinth contains both the treasures he collected and the weapons against the sea races, so it is also a fortress to deter the sea races.
No one knows why the Minotaur did this at sea, as he had already built several labyrinths in the savannah.
The rest of the story is that the alien assassination team succeeded, and the Minotaur the Great died. Humans and elves invade the grasslands, and the lion and tiger rise......
But the content of the painting is that when Minotaur was in the adult trial, he got something from the hiding place of the baby beast of Beamon, and he didn't know whether it was a scroll or a stone tablet, and he seemed to have learned something from it, and he became extremely powerful.
In the frescoes at the back, there are glowing spheres suspended "in the sky", not the sun and the moon, surrounding the Minotaur in the middle, while the Minotaur the Great holds his hands aloft, holding battle axes and shields in his hands, as if declaring war on these luminous objects.
"These luminaries are the gods!" Zhao Ritian said with surprise and affirmation.
Is it difficult that God is a disembodied luminous being? I was surprised.
"In the early days, human beings on Earth believed in gods with specific images, which later evolved into totems, and later turned to formless and insubstantial gods, which is the progress of civilization," Zhao Ritian said, "However, I seriously doubt that the gods here are actually not native creatures, but some advanced civilization species from aliens, so they can't show their true faces." β
Leo also said something similar, saying that gods are actually evolved into higher beings, but this is probably an idea unique to earthlings.
At least I still believe that it was Mother Earth who created everything on earth.
And I found evidence, but instead of stating my opinion, I pointed to the evidence and said, "Look, one of them is based on a minotaur!" β
On the screen, a luminous figure descends to the ground and transforms into a minotaur, talking to Minotaur the Great.
This "god" incarnated as a minotaur could not see gender, but stretched out his hand and spread his palm, expressing his will for peace.
Zhao Ritian said: "Change is a medium-to-high-level magic, how can the gods not master it?" They only became who they were in order to subdue different races. β
Then, the next image left me speechless.
Because the Minotaur the Great and the "gods" incarnated as minotaurs fought.
I was horrified!
Why did the Minotaur the Great fight with the gods? It's incredible!
"Tia said that the version of the story that circulated among the elves was that the Minotaur the Great became a believer in the evil gods and wanted to rebel against the gods, although the orc gods of the mother earth god and the elves were opposed, but they both claimed to be the guardians of the earthly races and the gods of justice, while Minotaur was a believer in the evil gods, or rather, he himself was an evil god at that time, or a demigod who was about to become a god!"
"Demigods?" It's the first time I've heard of it.
"Aren't there half-immortals on our earth? The gap between a demigod and a real god is very large, but the difference between a demigod and an immortal is much smaller," Zhao Ritian said, "Generally speaking, when a person's strength reaches the level of legend, it is already close to a demigod, called a holy domain or a god domain or something, in short, the names of each race are different, but it is definitely a bullish humanoid nuclear bomb, the kind that cannot be provoked." β
"Minotaur the Great is a demigod? Sanctuary? God's Domain? "I'm very unfamiliar with some new names, but I also feel inexplicably powerful.
"Almost, at that time, he was even the object of all the Minotaurs' beliefs," Zhao Ritian said, "So, the gods of the Mother Earth Goddess line should have felt his threat and took matters into their own hands!" β
In the next mural, the minotaur "god" who has taken down the mortal earth lies on the ground, but the luminous body returns to the sky.
"It seems that like the setting of many movies, the god cannot come to the world in person, but can only borrow a stand-in," Zhao Ritian said, "Minotaur killed this god's stand-in, and it completely angered the Mother Earth goddess line!" β
In the next picture, Minotaur the Great built the island labyrinth and became emperor.
This is the end of the mural.
I was horrified to watch.
The era of these mural carvings should be before the ascension to the throne, so the content behind it is not shown, and the story seems to have a perfect ending.
But I know - the next thing is the assassination of Minotaur the Great. I want to talk about "Memoirs of the Bull Head" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
