Chapter 0274 Priceless Treasure
According to the history of the 'Gate of True Knowledge', the elves began to establish settlements on the continent of Faeron 25,000 years ago to develop their own civilization. But at that time, the ancient evil insect Caworth had already been driven to the abyss.
For ancient creatures like Arkworth, the records of the elves are also unknown, and it is unclear what their origin is.
Based on his evil nature, from time to time, Caworth lured a few believers in the main material realm and caused some trouble. That's why it left its name in various historical classics, otherwise it would not have a sense of existence at all.
The library of the Gate of True Knowledge contains a small amount of information about ancient evils, but most of them are half-clawed and rarely explicitly recorded. When Zhou Qingfeng dug out the stone gate of evil words, the five-pointed star he wore on his chest immediately reacted.
The pentagram conveys a few simple words to the outside world, 'history', 'knowledge' and 'power'. Zhou Qingfeng could sense that the 'Gate of True Knowledge' was very eager to collect the content of the 'evil words', but he was silent about it.
The Stone Gate of Evil Words is very sturdy and protected by powerful magical powers. If it breaks through head-on, Zhou Qingfeng has no ability to dismantle it at all. But when it comes across a bunch of poor villagers with hoes, it meets its nemesis.
The entire excavation lasted three days, and the village's grain stock was also eaten with an open belly for three days. The slaves of the Powell family have never been so excited, as long as they work hard, they will not be beaten or scolded, and they will be very happy when they are full of food and drink.
Powell Jr. also put down his shelf and pulled down his face to express his willingness to take refuge. He didn't care about his little faith, he just wanted to get some kind of recognition in order to maintain his dignity. Maybe he can be a blessing in disguise and let him officially take charge of the Powell family.
But even Kelly scoffed at this idea, openly mocking Powell Jr. for being a hypocrite without convictions, and having no position in order to keep his position, "You still want to be surnamed Powell?" Don't forget who you really are. ”
Zhou Qingfeng had already entered the underground space opened up by the descendants of the evil insects. Kelly stayed outside to ensure safety and turned down Powell Jr.'s request to come in. The halfling girl's caustic words made the other party embarrassed and angry.
The real identity, this is the fate of Powell Jr. He has always discriminated against untouchables, and he can't accept that he is a descendant of untouchables. He had been sleepless and mentally confused for the past few days, including his brothers.
Defecting to Zhou Qingfeng became Powell Jr.'s last hope, but Uncle Zhou had no interest in him. Kelly reminds him of his 'true identity' in order to make him understand that the two sides are on different camps. But his heart was like a pinprick in shame, and he turned around and left.
When Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the underground space, Powell Jr. and his brothers all left, leaving the village and not knowing where to go. Kelly reminded and asked, "Why should I get rid of him, he is likely to turn around and get you in trouble." ”
"I want to lure the snake out of the hole, and this guy might surprise me."
"Maybe it's a fright."
Hahaha...... Zhou Qingfeng laughed loudly, waved his hand and shouted, "Leave him alone, I have cleared out the secret room of the descendants of the evil insects." Let's take a look. ”
Without the Guardians, no matter how strong the secret room is, it can't withstand the excavation of dozens of hoes. The wooden fort of the Powell family was completely demolished by Zhou Qingfeng's order, and the secret room hidden underground was like an archaeological site, which was completely excavated.
The outer walls of the chamber were poured out of corrupted flesh and blood, and it took at least hundreds of deaths to complete. It is this material that prevents the entry of the hidden servant and also shields the outside world from prying eyes.
The formal way to open the secret room is to interpret the ancient heresies on the stone door, and the informal way is to excavate violently. Obviously, Uncle Zhou chose the latter - many of the traps carefully designed in the secret room were all scrapped.
"The secret room has two floors, the upper floor is a studio. The next floor hasn't been dug up yet, and it's probably a storage room. Zhou Qingfeng acted as a guide and brought Kelly into the excavation site, "For those who study ancient history, this is a treasure place." ”
Based on the weirdness and horror of the Descendants of the Evil Bug as they fight, Kelly thinks she's going to see an eerie Chamber full of twisted furnishings. But in fact, this underground space is very refreshing, clean, not large but neatly arranged.
The first floor of the secret room resembles a study, with tables and chairs, a special meditation room, and several bookshelves. Zhou Qingfeng's 'treasure land' refers to the hundreds of volumes on the shelves.
"These books are all made of human skin, and they are all skinned alive by children who have never reached adulthood." Zhou Qingfeng took a copy from a bookshelf, "The descendant of the evil insect we killed is called 'Meng', and it has been in the north for fifty years and has harmed many people.
'Meng' has a good habit of taking notes and likes to do some academic research. These shelves record its life experiences, in the language of the Abyss, the lingua franca, and many other discourses written down by ancient heresies. ”
Kelly took the human skin book handed over by Zhou Qingfeng, and the moment her fingers touched it, she heard an eerie ghost cry from the book. She threw the book back to Zhou Qingfeng in shock, "That guy is not dead yet?" ”
"It's not 'Meng', it's a child who has been mutilated by 'Meng'. Not only did that guy peel the skin to make books, but he also extracted the souls of the victimized children and imprisoned them and trained them to become 'book servants'. From then on, he only had to dictate what he did. ”
Zhou Qingfeng patted the book in his hand. A gray-misty child, less than a foot tall, stared blankly at him and Kelly, as if waiting for orders.
The hundreds of books on the shelves are the souls of hundreds of children who have been mutilated and imprisoned. Supposedly, as a dark day voter, Kelly shouldn't be too surprised, but she shook her head at this and said, "It's so evil." ”
"Ancient evil beings are such beings. It looks at us like pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks. ”
Zhou Qingfeng took out the five-pointed star on his chest and activated it into the state of 'Gate of True Knowledge'. When the evil books in the secret room are placed in the library, the pages made of human skin are turned into powder, and the souls of imprisoned children float out and are free.
Continuing to ......, there was a consciousness in the 'Gate of True Knowledge' calling towards Zhou Qingfeng.
As a result, volume after volume of human skin scrolls was placed in the library of the 'Gate of True Knowledge', and several shelves were quickly emptied. Even the stone gate engraved with ancient evil sayings is no exception.
When these objects enter the 'Gate of True Knowledge', they immediately disappear. The knowledge recorded in it is extracted separately and finally compiled into a book, which becomes a valuable collection in the library.
Kelly looked very curious, so she asked Zhou Qingfeng, "What are you doing here?" Throw the book in it and count it as if you have learned? Can you use ancient heresies? ”
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, "It's not that easy." Sending it to the library is nothing more than recording the contents of the book, and at the same time freeing the soul that is imprisoned inside.
As for the ancient heresy, it is a dead text that has been cut off, and whether it can be deciphered depends on luck. As for the decipherment, maybe it will be useful. ”
This was not clear, Kelly didn't believe it, but didn't ask any more questions.
The consciousness hidden in the 'Gate of True Knowledge' answers this question, "The language that existed in ancient times was a tool for understanding the origin of power. It's priceless and so useful. ”
