At that time, colonists who set foot in South America came one after another in order to obtain the treasures of the Inca Empire.

In such a situation, it is inevitable that many legends and rumors will appear, and it is not known which of them are pure rumors, and which are clues with valuable real information attached.

One such myth is the "Paittiti", which first appeared in letters from the 1580s claiming that the Incas were merely a cover for the destruction of their treasure and that the Bilcabamba was not their last stronghold.

Legend has it that deep in the mountains there was a city called Paikikin, which was the final fortress of the Incas. It is only by word of mouth that the Spaniards falsely refer to Pajigin as "Gran Paititi" according to their own linguistic habits......

According to the records of the Jesuit Andrea Lopez, he claimed that the Inca royal family still ruled Paitti, and that the city was so rich that even the clothes of its inhabitants were adorned with gold and silver ornaments.

He also mentioned that the city was also home to the coffins of the Inca kings, and that it was located deep in the rainforest surrounded by waterfalls, and although he did not specify the location, he stressed that the information he received was "very reliable......

But no matter how reliable he claimed, until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the exploration of Paitti had yielded no results, and the enthusiasm of the people had reached a low point, and frequent frustrations were enough to dispel any illusions of the adventurers.

Since then, this hidden city, nestled deep in the mountains and jungles and surrounded by waterfalls, has become a mere legend.

Until Miss Crawford was so gifted...... Archaeologists have come out of nowhere, relying on clues from the ancient ruins excavated here in Cozumel, all the way to the Peruvian jungle and directly into the legendary hidden city......

At this point, fantasy and reality converge, and legends are no longer false.

“…… We were caught up in the internal power struggle of the Paittiti, and the leader of the rebels, Queen Unuratu, gave us great help, of course, to take what we needed, otherwise she would not trust us outsiders. ”

Miss Crawford smiled bitterly, but there was not much complaint in her tone.

"But later, when I found the secret spot according to the map, I only found a silver statue in the shape of a serpentine there, and the box of Ichchel was not there, and Queen Unuratu told me that the statue was the key to the temple of the mountain......"

Mo Chen didn't interject, just listened quietly, combing through the information.

Miss Crawford's party has been working hard for such a month, constantly fighting in the air, and they have also been involved in the internal strife of the hidden city, and inexplicably even part-time mercenaries.

Explore, fight, try to find clues, interpret the information left behind by ruins, murals, and various ancient objects, deduce little by little, and complete the puzzle piece by piece, and finally succeed in finding the box of Ichchel.

In the process, she will not only have to fight against the remnants of the Holy Trinity, who have long laid the foundation in the Hidden City, but also fight against the humanoids known as "Yasir" in the eerie, dimly lit and mysterious tombs or underground ruins......

The difficulty and horror of this process can be imagined, and Miss Crawford is indeed under great psychological pressure.

And the process of decryption is extremely brain-consuming, this is the real world, but not a game, and you can set the difficulty at will, and open the survival instinct at low difficulty, and the surrounding scene will immediately change color.

Different colors give you different instructions, the kind that makes it easy for you to pass the level. What's more, there are many opportunities in the game to try repeatedly, and even there is more than one life, and there are save points......

In many cases, Miss Crawford encounters problems that she only has one chance to try, and once she fails, it is not only a matter of breaking the clue, but also may cause a huge crisis and danger to her life in some special scenarios.

"It's really hard for you......" Mo Chen weighed the silver box in his hand, sighed, and said in a harmonious voice. It's a pity that we used to have a dagger but didn't have a box, but now we got a box dagger but it's gone. ”

"yes, it's still too late...... I don't know what happened yet, but everything was fine until the last contact. When we came to see it, there was nothing. ”

The girl with a ponytail pursed her lips and looked at the tragic post-disaster scene around her, her expression was very ugly.

"Well, you said that the dagger can't be moved until you get the silver box, otherwise it will cause all kinds of terrible natural disasters around the world, so now this phenomenon is ......"

“……”

“……”

"That's right, this tsunami is unusual and not a purely natural phenomenon...... And the timing of the occurrence is also subtle—"

Mo Chen nodded lightly: "It's the dagger in the ruins that was ...... by Naia." After being taken away by the Holy Trinity, in less than ten minutes, the tsunami suddenly flooded Kozumel. ”

Therefore, it can basically be thought that the dagger was suddenly touched and taken away from the altar in the ruins, resulting in the evil consequences.

Of course, it is also possible that a passing god or demon king used his power to set off a tsunami and directly destroyed Kozumel, but this probability is too slim, and the dagger was indeed taken away by Naia, so there is no value in discussing.

Lowering his head and feeling the heavy weight of the silver box in his hand, Mo Chen reversed it, and there were no gaps in all directions of the silver box, with only one side and a groove.

Not very regular, but the blade that should belong to the dagger can be inserted into it, tightly combined grooves.

Just like the scabbard, scabbard and the like, this silver box is probably the scabbard of the dagger, and the blade is hidden in it, which plays a role in containment and protection, and can also well suppress the power of the dagger itself.

Ichchel's Box......

Ichchel is an ancient divinity in Mayan mythology, the goddess who governs water, textiles, fertility, and the movement of the moon. Considering that the Aztec religious system is largely similar to that of the Mayan culture, it seems normal to be involved in Mayan mythology.

"Ichchel's silver box was forged in heaven and later brought to earth...... I saw a huge sinkhole called a limestone crater near Paittiti, and the mural information I saw in the ruins below said so. ”

Miss Crawford saw that the other party was carefully examining the silver box, and spoke again.

"I suspect that the humanoid creatures called Yashir made the box, and they guarded it, and neither the false gods nor their fanatical followers could pass through it...... According to the frescoes, they hid the boxes there until the sun was reborn. ”

Speaking of this, her expression became very depressed-

"Actually, when we went in, we found out that the box had been taken away by the Trinity, and that was in the early seventeenth century, except that the man who took the box had betrayed the Trinity ...... in the end."

The man thought that if he brought the box back, the Holy Trinity would bring great disaster to the world, so he hid the box in a place he thought was safe.

As a result, the people who led to the Holy Trinity never knew that the people who had been sent out had actually obtained the silver box, and they were still struggling to search everywhere, and their footprints traveled all over the world. Laura was also completely misled, and ran again and again in vain.

Although this situation is really laughable, Miss Crawford is not a complaining person, but after a few words, she returns to the topic, and very seriously says a piece of information that she thinks is quite important:

"When I was in Paittiti, Queen Unuratu told me that when a great calamity strikes, the god Kukulkan must sacrifice himself to the sun, otherwise the world will perish."

Kukulkan is the Mayan term for the god Quetzalcoatl.

The image of a giant serpent covered in feathers is a deity that is commonly worshipped in Mesoamerican civilizations. In Aztec mythology, he is revered as Quezalcoatl, and in Mayan mythology, he is Kukulkan.

It represents death and rebirth, symbolizes the bounty of the earth, brings the rainy season, rules the morning star, and has the legend that he once presided over the sun god......

The main god with a variety of complex attributes is undoubtedly the top class of gods, and it is not inferior to Vereslana, King Mekar, etc., and can be among the same ancient divinities.

"Sacrifice to the gods?" Mo Chen couldn't help but smile, "Or did you specify to sacrifice the Quetzalcoatl God?" So, does our current world belong to the First Solar Period? ”

"Or maybe it's the Fifth Solar Age, in Aztec mythology, Quetzalcoatl became the sun of the Second Solar Age, so the myth says that he once presided over the sun god for one period......"

Miss Crawford said seriously, and she thought about it seriously.

"According to mythology, after the fall of the first four epochs, He would not accept the destruction of his people, so a fifth sun was born, but there are different opinions about who this fifth sun really is......"

"It's another fire transmission system, one god after another goes up to burn itself." Mo Chen pursed his lips.

"Anyway, according to their myths, in the end, instead of the sun going to be dark for five days, the world will be shattered by a catastrophic earthquake; It is that the sun will eventually be extinguished, and the world will perish in an earthquake......"

There is also the saying that the world was shattered by a terrible earthquake, and that humanity was devoured by monsters from the sky.

Either way, the only thing in common is that the Earth will be torn apart by a mega-earthquake from the inside out...... In contrast, Mo Chen was more inclined to the prophecy of the first legend.

That is, the version of "the sun is black for five days".

Because in the original plot, at the last moment, the sun was indeed plunged into complete darkness, and if Laura hadn't completed the ritual and expelled the eclipse, it is difficult to say what would have happened after that.

The next step is to search for Naia's traces, but the dagger and the silver box are matched, and the mysterious connection between them is very clear and strong.

As long as Naia didn't shield it, it was only a matter of time before Mo Chen captured the clue to the dagger. And Naia should not block the contact, but will deliberately leave clues, just like the image of his incarnation and the name he professes, all of which are clues specially left for Mo Chen.

Because He is such a chaotic being.

"Speaking of which, I still can't believe it's true."

Miss Crawford turned her head to look at the surrounding refugee camp and the ruins of the land and town that had been resurfaced after the outskirts had receded.

"I did archaeological work here, living as an archaeologist for two months, and I felt that I was already familiar with the land, and I even knew most of the people in the town...... But now, there is nothing. ”

Mo Chen blinked: "Do you feel cruel?" ”

"Yes, and it was too sudden to give me time to accept it at all. When I got on the helicopter last night and when I called, everything was fine......"

Miss Crawford closed her eyes and breathed heavily, as if she were suppressing some emotion.

"But when I came here, I didn't see islands and towns, not ports and local people, but a country...... It's hard to imagine that feeling. ”

Mo Chen didn't know how to answer this question.

However, Miss Crawford shook her head, and then forced her spirits to squeeze out a more reluctant smile: "I'm not too fragile to accept such a thing, the experience of Yamatai and Siberia has taught me, I just ...... Just ......"

She paused for a moment, as if she didn't know how to describe her feelings: "Probably it was too sudden, and if I had been a little more tactful to let me know about it, I might have been more receptive." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed—

"It was like over there, I remember the location of the inn where I lived on the island for two months, I was very familiar with the local people who were nearby, and I even remember that there was a not-so-pretty kitten in the hostel...... Now, that's all gone. ”

"This ...... Condolences. Mo Chen opened his mouth, and then he could only say that.

"It doesn't need to be like this, I just think it's too sudden. It's like the cat, if someone told me it was climbing a tree to catch a bird during the time I was away, and it was okay to accidentally fall down, not like it ......is now."

Waving her fist in annoyance, Miss Crawford was visibly unacceptable to all this, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, her full breasts rising and falling.

Finally, she calmed down and turned her head to look at someone: "By the way, Rose is staying on Cozumel's side, is he okay?" ”

“……”

“……”

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, then turned his face away and looked away: "The old man climbed the big tree yesterday to catch the birds......
