Chapter 39: The Capital of Crime
The three of them had no choice but to go back underground the way they came.
It seems that Su Ziyu is very interested in everything about the ancient dragon, and Sister Fried has learned a lot about the ancient dragon belief from his mouth by taking some words from the onion knight.
In the Age of the Gods, powerful warriors were honored to hunt dragons, and the warriors of the Protoss forged many weapons specifically against dragons. The Sun King, Gwen, led the Protoss to slaughter all the Immortal Dragons, but later someone created new dragons, which are now huge dragons with no scales and only heavy dragon skin.
It is said that the later flying dragons were all made by magic from the scaleless white dragon Hiss, but the white dragon Hiss was burned in the initial fire, and this matter cannot be verified.
The warrior's ancient dragon faith was born in the last one or two thousand years.
That is, when the royal family of Lothric rose, the royal family in the mouth of the undead all referred to the current royal family of Lothric, who were said to be descendants of the mixed blood of the gods and humans. In addition, there is an old royal force in this world, the direct descendants of the Sun King-Gwen, who live in Arnorrond, not far from here, and have not been seen in front of people's eyes for a long, long time.
The giant wyverns that Suziyu saw in the royal city of Los Ric were not wild, they were very closely related to the royal family of Los Ric, and were regarded as one of the pillars of the kingdom.
It's even possible that those wyverns were made of people!
Legend has it that the ultimate result of the ancient dragon belief was to become a dragon, but it was not purely for the sake of great power, but for another purpose.
"Survive the dark ages without fire."
Sister Fred glanced at the onion knight walking in front of her and whispered, "The former king of Lothric, the Demon King, Osroes, is said to have gone mad because of the power of dragons. β
"However, the original purpose of the Lothric royal family's research on ancient dragons was to survive the dark ages without fire by turning into a flying dragon."
Before the Initial Fire was born, the world was ruled by immortal dragons.
Now that the initial fire has dimmed, not everyone can not foresee this, and the kingdom of Lothric, as the most powerful force today, has secretly made preparations with two hands. The first is to cultivate the Salary King, purify the bloodline through some ways, retain more powerful natural power, and do not hesitate to give birth to some special offspring in the evil way of secret methods and blood marriage.
In this way, the blood of the Protoss can be preserved to the greatest extent, and the children of the royal family are born with amazing talents.
But the curse was born.
In the inheritance of the recent generation, although the Lothric royal family also gave birth to the eldest prince Lorian, who can single-handedly take on the demon prince, but also gave birth to the second prince of Lothric, who is powerless and can't even hold the lightest sword.
In Su Ziyu's view, this is completely a deformed child born after the marriage of close relatives, and part of the so-called curse was born from this.
Ancient Egyptian royal families, European royal families, and many royal families on earth in ancient times were so close marriages were abolished for the sake of so-called blood purity.
But the royal family of Lothric may have mastered some special secret methods to depose one prince and give birth to another prince who is even more powerful. However, it is estimated that no one expected that the eldest prince of Lorian would be willing to bear this terrible curse together in order to protect his younger brother, and turned into a sharp sword to protect him.
The second preparation is the ancient dragon faith.
If the initial fire is really extinguished, in order to continue the fire of life, some people who have become dragons may carry through the dark ages without fire.
But as for the specific secret, only the royal family of Los Ric knows, and it is not clear to outsiders whether it succeeded or not, because the wyvern is only controlled by the royal family.
"Man became a dragon."
"Isn't humanity just as extinct?" Su Ziyu shook his head.
The dragonman's body looked strange, with signs of a living corpse, not like a successful work.
"I've been to the interior of the city of Lothric." Sister Fred thought for a moment and said softly, "Actually. In addition to the ancient dragon faith, they also have another angelic faith that has been denounced as a heresy. β
"It seems to have been born because of the failure of the ancient dragon faith."
"There are traces of civil war in the royal city, and they may have fought because of the clash of faith."
"It's a pity that the dragon hunting armor inside is too difficult to deal with, so I didn't go in."
Angelic Faith?
"Turn people into angels?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.
Sister Fride shook her head gently and said, "No. Instead, it turns into something more outlandish. β
The royal family of Lothric is also doing everything to survive the dark ages without fire, and it seems that even within the Fire Transmission Sect, there are people who believe that the initial fire will be extinguished one day.
"In comparison."
"I think it's more appropriate for the former royal family, the Sun King, Gwen, to prepare in secret." Sister Fred hesitated for a moment, then said again, "The world of Eiredel's paintings. β
"It is said to be a unique world created to cope with the future world where the flames will be extinguished."
"A shelter secretly prepared by the Protoss."
This is the third time Sister Fride has spoken of the world of painting.
"That's why you've always wanted to go to that world of painting?" Su Ziyu asked softly.
"Yes." Sister Fried nodded, "I'd like to go and see." β
Ancient dragon beliefs.
Trying to turn people into dragons and survive the dark ages without fire in the future.
Already GG.
Angelic Faith.
The attempt to turn people into strange creatures resembling angels is also aimed at surviving the dark ages without fire.
The same GG, and sparked a civil war in the royal city of Los Ric.
As for the taboo pattern of blood marriages constantly giving birth to salary kings, it was directly invalidated because the two princes of Lothric refused to spread the fire, and they hated the fire so much and openly opposed everything, not necessarily because they were not affected by the more chaotic secrets within the royal family.
That demon king is still alive now, although he has gone crazy.
Su Ziyu didn't get much definite information from Sister Fred's mouth, but just by peeking at the leopard from this information, she could understand the extent of the chaos within the Lothric royal family.
It's probably madness in despair.
"Do you think that world of painting can serve as the last refuge for humanity?" Su Ziyu asked slowly.
"At least one hope." Sister Frede nodded.
Wishing to put out fires does not mean wishing all life to perish.
Sister Fride should still hope that there is a place where the fire of humanity can continue.
"Huh?"
"I seem to be lost! ......" Just as the two people behind were secretly communicating, the onion knight who was walking in front of the team scratched his head a little embarrassed, turned around and said, "I don't know where we have gone." β
Su Ziyu and Sister Frid, who were secretly exchanging information about the world of painting, couldn't help but stop.
They looked at each other helplessly, and then began to check the situation around them, and the first person leading the way was the Onion Knight, who said that he had been here before, but now told the two men that he was lost.
It's really unreliable to let this Tie Hanhan lead the way.
"We should have gone deep underground." Sister Fride looked around and said, "Let's go over there." β
Su Ziyu has never been here at all, so he naturally listens to their arrangement.
The group walked for a while.
I don't know where it was, but there are a lot of corpses nearby, and there are some traces of a battle from a long time ago.
"There's a cell there!" Sister Fried raised her hand.
Click.
Su Ziyu stretched out his hand to test the solidity of the cell, then took out the dark sword and raised his hand to slash, and the dilapidated cell door was opened.
The cell was empty.
But in the corner there was a dry corpse, sitting on the far left, dead for a long time.
"Seems to be an immortal." Sister Fried glanced at it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to remove the palm of the dead corpse, and soon an extremely strange ring appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was a ring surrounded by a hovering golden serpent.
"Here you go." Sister Fred picked it up and glanced at it, then turned her head and handed it to Su Ziyu beside her, "This seems to be the rumored greedy golden snake ring." β
"I didn't expect to be here."
- "Greedy Golden Serpent Ring (Strange Thing): The snake is a degenerated dragon, an extremely greedy creature that enhances its ability to hunt for treasures, and will sense all treasures when there are nearby. β
This seems to be a treasure hunt.
Su Ziyu took it and looked at it, put it on his hand to experience it a little, and then shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to fight." β
"It's okay to wear it once in a while."
The hovering golden snake on the ring was too big to affect the fight more than the gemstone ring.
"It's a pity it's not the Silver Serpent Ring of Greed." Sister Fried said with pity, "That ring is said to increase the soul that can be plundered after killing an enemy. β
Is it?
That's a very useful curiosity.
There was basically nothing left here, and the group followed Sister Fride back again, turning around in the dark passageway, walking for about half an hour, killing many strange monsters with snake-long heads on the way, and finally came to a somewhat different place.
"We seem to have entered the area of the capital of sinful karma."
Sister Frede crouched down, picked up a cup on the ground, looked at it, and said, "This is something from the capital of sinful karma. β
A very ordinary dusty silver cup.
Took a few steps forward.
Su Ziyu saw a touch of gold again, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a plate made of gold, weighing about half a catty, and the purity of gold was not low.
"The capital of sinful karma once gathered the greatest wealth in the world."
"Everything here is golden."
"Aristocrats and merchants wielded utensils made of pure silver and gold, and before the initial fire dimmed, they controlled much of the world's trade, greedily plundering all the riches they could."
Sister Fried picked up another piece of melted gold and said slowly, "Until the fire of sinful karma comes here." β
"Greedy desires."
"It also brings the flame of greed."
Su Ziyu only had a broken ruin left in front of him, which had been buried in the ground for an unknown amount of time, but he could still find a lot of gold and silver when he removed the wreckage of the ruins.
It was the currency of the world when the flame had not yet dimmed.
Right now.
These things are worthless.
"Let's go." The Onion Knight didn't even look at the gold and silver on the ground, and his expression was much heavier when he came here, and he said slowly: "I seem to remember how to go." β
The further you go, the more gold and silver utensils appear in front of you.
There are so many that you will step on it if you are not careful on the road.
In their line of sight, there were also some incinerated human remains, which were piled up as if they had melted, and large amounts of gold and silver were scattered next to them. Legend has it that the fire of sinful karma falls from the sky and burns only human flesh and blood, while nothing else burns at all.
These should be the people of the capital of sinful karma who were burned to death at that time.
Su Ziyu saw that many people were still holding a lot of gold and silver jewels in their arms before they were burned to death, and these corpses were mixed with these gold and silver jewels to form a tomb mountain.
"Be careful!"
"There are enemies!" Su Ziyu suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice.
Heavy footsteps sounded.
In the line of sight of the group, a monster of considerable size appeared, and they saw a fat body crawling on the ground, with moss on the gray-black skin, and the part of the head had disappeared, replaced by a big hand, with eight huge gray-black fingers, when the fingers were raised, it could be seen that the palm was densely packed with eyeballs, and the eyeballs were all over the palm, and drops of disgusting viscous liquid were oozing, which made people look extremely disgusting and uncomfortable.
"What the hell is this!" Su Ziyu felt that his spirit was polluted just by looking at it, and when the monster lifted up, he could still see the torn belly, which was also full of a bunch of weird eyeballs.
Another of the same monsters crawled out.
Their seemingly sluggish bodies became quite ferocious as they approached, and they flipped over and flew over.
Poof.
Thump.
With a flash of lightning and black flames, the two monsters were quickly dealt with, they looked a little hideous and disgusting, but they were not very difficult to deal with.
"Gain 1 Source Power."
"Gain 1 Source Power."
Su Ziyu found that a faint aura appeared on the corpse, and when he looked over, he found two strange objects, but this strange object made him feel a little disgusting.
- "Pieces of: Pieces of that contain poison that can be thrown at enemies, and are said to be found on some giants. β
Is this a giant?
Su Ziyu looked at the size of this monster and felt a bit like a distorted giant.
A monster has dropped two pieces of.
There are four in total.
It was all labeled as poisonous, and he finally knew where the piece of that Sun Knight threw at him in the first place came from.
Do you want this strange thing?
I always feel so disgusting.
Su Ziyu glanced at Sister Fred next to her with a disgusted expression on her face, and silently put away the four pieces of with her mental strength, fortunately he could take it without his hands.
Put it away first.
In the future, if you meet that Sun Knight again, throw this thing back.
I'm really eating!
