Chapter 507: The Secret of the God of the Scorching Sun
Dejiko walked quickly and seemed a little anxious.
He'd been here many times and had not encountered any danger, so he wasn't as cautious as Wren, but Wren didn't let his guard down and watched his surroundings.
Every 20 meters or so on both sides of the stone road, there is an obelisk, like a street lamp on the side of the road.
These obelisks are all carved from a single piece of rock, with four sides of the stele, nearly five meters wide and more than fifty meters high, gradually shrinking from the bottom to the top to form a spire, the top of which resembles the spire of a pyramid. The stele is engraved with intricate patterns and runes, revealing the vicissitudes of life and the simple atmosphere, as well as a faint power of faith.
Wren looked through with the Eye of the Soul and found that the text on the obelisk was similar to the stone pillar totem of the Sunseeker tribe, and many of the contents corresponded to each other.
The content on each obelisk is mostly the same, but it is completely different in a certain detail, appearing to be numbered or coordinated, pointing to a specific target and location.
Halfway through the stone path, Wren suddenly looked at him.
He sensed that the power of faith on an obelisk was extremely strong, and at this moment, the pattern runes on the stele were moving, and the power of faith from the distant void gathered to the spire, collected through the body of the obelisk, and disappeared into the ground.
"The obelisk is used to collect the power of faith?"
Wren's heart flickered.
He couldn't help but slow down, carefully observing the obelisk that was still reacting, and after the power of faith gathered, he entered the ground, his eyes followed the direction of the fluctuation of the power of faith, and finally pointed to the magnificent pyramid ahead.
Dejiko noticed that Wren was not following, and turned back and asked, "Lord Lord, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. Wren shook his head.
The power of faith is invisible to the naked eye, and Dejiko does not see the true function of the obelisk, and the form is not the same as the stone pillar totem, and it is likely that these stone tablets are used as ornaments.
Glancing over, he soon found several more working obelisks.
Obviously, each obelisk collects the power of faith from a different place.
"Your Excellency, do you know that there are others other than the Sunseeker clan who believe in the God of the Sun today?" Wren asked quietly.
"In the Old World, it's supposed to be just us. Dejiko shook his bull's head and replied in an uncertain tone, "However, it is rumored that in the primeval jungle south of the New World, there may be some tribes of trolls who still believe in our lord, but they are too far away to be confirmed. ”
"You mean the trolls of the Southern Continent?" Wren was a little confused.
The New World is actually made up of two continents, one north and one south, connected by a narrow land bridge that is as narrow as a streamer.
The New World, often referred to as the Northern Continent, is often referred to as the Northern Continent, also known as the "Northern Juans", where elves and dwarves developed glorious civilizations on both sides of the Northern Continent in the last era, and were later destroyed by the Abyss invasion.
The southern continent has always been covered by vast primeval forests, full of dangers, complex terrain and difficult to penetrate, and has never been explored by humans, elves or dwarves. According to some explorers, there are many tribes of trolls hidden in the primeval forests of the Southern Continent, and there is an ancient empire of trolls, which has been passed down from the First Age for tens of thousands of years, but has never been confirmed.
Wren has also heard these rumors, but he doesn't know if it's true or not.
"When our Lord Anser had not fallen, his main followers were trolls, and some minotaurs, elves, and humans. Dejiko said as he walked, "You know, our lord Anser was born in prehistoric times, when Erenus was still a world of trolls. ”
"When the Trolls founded the First Age, there were several kingdoms of trolls serving our lord. ”
"At the time of his fall, it was the middle of the Second Age, the age of giants and dragons, the troll civilization had long since collapsed, the empire was divided, and countless trolls had been driven to the remote corners of Ehrenus, struggling to survive in the harsh wilderness. ”
"It's not surprising that some unknown tribe of trolls keeps their faith in our lord. ”
"I met a tribe of desert trolls in Atas who believed in our lord, but sadly, they had degenerated into a semi-intelligent race, with only a few traditional instincts left, not true faith. ”
When Dejiko said this, his face was full of helplessness and regret.
Wren nodded and did not speak.
He looked at the obelisks on both sides, and counted all the way, there were more than eighty of them collecting the power of faith, and there were quite a few of them, which were being sent to the pyramid every moment.
It can be seen that outside the tribe of the Sunseekers, there must also be followers of the God of the Scorching Sun.
Wren couldn't accurately estimate how many of these remnant believers were, guessing that it was between 200,000 and 3 million, even if it was the smallest number, it was not a small number, so many believers could not be unknown in the Old World, the biggest possibility was the rumored troll tribe in the South Continent, or races from other planes.
"No wonder the god of the scorching sun has hope of resurrection. ”
"That's not right!"
Wren reacted suddenly.
The resurrection of gods is more difficult than that of mortals, and in the history of the gods of Erenus, there are only a handful of gods who have been successfully resurrected, and every resurrection experience is a miracle that is almost impossible to replicate.
After the fall of the vast majority of gods, they disappeared into the long river of time, and were never heard again.
For example, Moradin, the "god of forging and craft" of the dwarves, fell in the last era, and there are still a large number of dwarves who maintain their faith in him and pray every day. Even though the dwarves are now gone, Moradin definitely has more followers than the god of the sun, perhaps more than ten times more, and yet Moradin shows no signs of resurrection.
In contrast, the flame of faith of his friend Zoltan, which was almost extinguished, was dead and silent, and the situation was much worse than that of the god of the scorching sun.
The same fallen god, the resurrection of more Moradin believers is hopeless;
And the god of the scorching sun, who has fewer believers, is able to answer prayers, even if his response is problematic, and the situation is much better than Moradin's.
There must be an amazing secret hidden inside the pyramid!
After several miles, the team finally reached the end of the stone path and came to the foot of the pyramid.
The whole tower stands on a huge platform, there are 100 stone steps between the platform and the stone road, go up along the stairs, come to the tower base platform, as if climbing a flat hilltop square.
The pyramid in front of him is made of countless huge stones, each of which is more than five meters long, neatly built, and built up one by one, forming an inclined plane. Four inclined planes converge at the top of the tower, only a few tens of meters from the dome, as if within reach.
The team continued to move forward, and the closer they got to the pyramid, the more they could feel its grandeur and awe.
Looking up at the pyramids, everyone felt a sense of insignificance.
Wren was shocked.
This is taller, larger, and more spectacular than the largest pyramid in previous lives. The dome here is higher than the exit of the passage, more than three hundred meters, which means that the height of the pyramid is also close to three hundred meters, which is twice the height of the largest pyramid in the previous life, and more than four times the volume!
The entrance to the pyramid is facing the direction of the passage, and from the staircase, there are also obelisks on both sides, which are taller than the ones below.
Wren's gaze swept over, and there were more than a dozen obelisks in motion.
He also found the stone pillar totem corresponding to the Sunstrider tribe, but Dejiko himself was unaware and walked past the obelisks.
Finally, the group came to the entrance of the pyramid.
It is a twenty-meter-high stone gate with elaborate carvings depicting the miracle of Anser, the god of the scorching sun. To the right and left of the gate stood two tall stone statues, presumably in the form of priests, dressed in armor and holding spears, with their eyes closed as if praying.
"My lord, here we are. ”
Dejiko turned to look at Wren, lowered his voice, as if afraid to wake up the gods behind the door, and said, "Open this door, and inside is the tomb of my lord." ”
"Have you tried?" Wren asked, looking at the heavy stone door.
"Countless times, of course. Dejiko heard what Wren meant, and walked to the door, his huge palm pressed against the door and poured the power of holy light.
Syllable!
With a soft sound, a layer of light appeared on the stone door and flicked the Minotaur's hand away, and at the same time, a beam of sunlight appeared in the sky and shone down on his head.
Dejiko obviously knew that he would be attacked, but he didn't try to dodge, and let the pillar of light shoot on his bull's head, and the holy light barrier that had just been stretched out instantly collapsed, and let out a muffled snort.
There was pain on his face, and it was clear that the pillar of light was not comfortable.
Wren watched the whole process very carefully.
That layer of magical protection is activated by the runes on the door, and the energy comes from the inside of the pyramid. The beam that falls down is the counterattack ability that comes with the protective array, and the power is equivalent to the seven-ring spell, that is, Dejiko is a legendary high-level scorching sun walker who has extremely high resistance to the power of holy light, and the slightly weaker legend has been burned to ashes by the beam.
Dejiko eased up and said with a wry smile: "As long as someone touches the door, it will trigger the 'Sun Flame Light' counterattack, and you can't dodge it at all." ”
"So you didn't try to get out of the way. Wren was stunned.
"Yes, and the more pressure or energy is applied to the door, the more powerful the Flame Light will be. Dejiko was very helpless, he saw Wren approaching the gate, stretched out his hand, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Lord, don't try it lightly. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Wren's hand pressed against the door.
He didn't inject soul power or other energy, he just exerted force, as if he wanted to push the door open.
Airplanes......
The heavy stone door shook and made a loud noise, and the rune circle on the door was immediately activated, shining with a dazzling light, making the minotaur watching the movement subconsciously close his eyes or turn his head away.
A thick beam of light fell from the sky, shining like lightning above Wren's head.
Dejiko was shocked.
This was the most terrifying 'Yang Flame Light' he had ever seen, at least above the Eighth Ring, and even close to the Nine Ring Spell.
However, in the next moment, Wren vanished.
The sun's light shone on the ground, leaving a scorched black that did no damage. With a snap, Wren's figure turned into lightning and returned to the door, carefully observing the runes on the door.
"Lord Lord......" Dejiko was dumbfounded.
Wren turned his head and smiled, "I just gave it a little try. This protective circle is very ingenious, and it is also very powerful, it is very different from the current magic system, if it was more than 10,000 years ago, I would have done nothing about it, but more than 10,000 years have passed......"
Dejiko's eyes lit up, full of hope.
"For such a long time, no matter how powerful the magic protection is, there will inevitably be problems, as long as I find its loopholes, I can crack it. Wren said indifferently, looking confident.
"Great!"
Dejiko was overjoyed, he didn't expect much from Wren, and put his hopes on Wren's teacher, the Holy Soul Wizard.
Wren changed his tone and added, "But it will take some time for me to crack it." ”
"How long will it take?" asked Dejiko hurriedly.
"Ten to fifteen days. Wren thought for a moment before giving an answer.
The joy on Dejiko's face froze, and he said with a sad face: "Our food and water may not last so long. ”
"I also have some food and water here to save a little use, which should be enough. Wren took out a large amount of supplies from the Nebula Ring, which was originally for himself to eat, in case of emergency, so that he could eat alone for half a year.
"There are so many!"
Dejiko looked at the materials piled up higher than himself, and his face couldn't help but be full of astonishment, how big is this dimensional ring that can be placed?
He couldn't help but look at the black ring on Wren's hand, and then he realized how valuable it was.
Wren smiled and didn't explain much.
In fact, he was now able to open the entrance to the pyramid directly, and as a result of that attempt, the key to the door worked on it. The reason why he deceived Dejiko and said that it would take ten days to half a month was not to crack the magic protection at all, but to create time for Leslin to create a dimensional teleportation array, which may not be successful.
Also, make some preparations yourself before opening the door.
Wren tried the spell and found that Anse's tomb was a one-way locked space, allowing the portal to be opened from the inside out, but not vice versa.
Of course, it is completely impossible to teleport in and out of the pyramid.
So he opened a portal of ethereal spirits, leading to the desert ruins outside the mausoleum, and let the few remaining minotaurs and more than fifty Kodo beasts enter, so as not to be scorched by the remnant sun for a long time, and there was also a risk of exposure.
Once the arrangements were in place, Wren began to study the runes in front of the door.
Through different methods, the runes on the door were activated again and again, and the light of the sun was flashed, and then he sat down and pondered for a while, and then got up again to continue his research. From time to time, I walked around the foot of the pyramid a few times, and climbed to the top of the tower, and found that standing on it would also be attacked by the light of the sun.
After tossing for most of the day, he sat down to rest.
Drinking water while eating dry food, his eyes were not focused, and he was obviously still thinking.
Neither Dejiko nor the Minotaurs dared to disturb Wren, the Ultramarines were resting nearby, and Borch was already asleep with his newfound blaster.
No one knows, Wren's mind is not thinking about cracking the magic protection at all, but opening the interface of the mobile phone, looking at the more than 700 grids of power in the soul power pool, ready to improve and strengthen himself.
