Volume 2: Lost in the Sea of Fog [031] Golden Sun
The City of Golden Armor is also known as the City of Sotun and the City of Gold.
The city was the center of the Mobis Dynasty and one of the three main cities.
The Mobis Dynasty had a total of three power centers, namely the three cities of black iron, bronze, and gold, which represented military power, imperial power, and divine power respectively.
And the Golden Armor City represents the divine right.
All the populaces of the Mobis dynasty believed in the golden sun, Sotunn.
They believed that the sun in the sky was an incomparably huge ball of gold, which radiated brilliant light, illuminated the earth, nourished all things, and was a benevolent deity.
If it is the earth, the sun and other gods are often benevolent and majestic, and may even be cruel, after all, the sun can also cause drought. However, in the water-abundant Mobis Sea, there is basically no possibility of drought, so people do not imagine the sun as a brutal existence at all, and generally treat it as a benevolent god.
"I remembered that I was eating here and they found out. The Hungry King suddenly shouted.
Hawkins laughed, "Food, to be precise, it should be stealing food, and stealing food is still offerings." ”
"What a bullshit offering, no one eats it there, I reluctantly help them eat it, not only do they not appreciate me, but they also shout at me and kill me, it's just disgusting. The Hungry King immediately retorted.
Mark wondered, "What is the offering? delicious?"
"I know that an offering is something that is given to something that is not needed. Marnie replied.
Mark looked at Hawkins, who smiled and said, "An offering is an offering to the gods, and I remember writing about it on the forum. ”
"Captain, you can't blame me for this, I have to go to work and school now, I really don't have time to watch. Mark hurriedly shouted.
Hawkins didn't dig deeper, smiled and patted Mark's shoulder, looked at the Hungry King, and said with a smile: "In the past I saw, you managed to escape in the end, why did you hit Columbus's hands again?"
"The past is unbearable, so don't mention it. The Hungry King shook his head slightly.
Marnie squinted and said, "It must be gluttonous, and then I don't know if I was sold." ”
"Don't slander the bear out of thin air!" the hungry king called Qu.
Hawkins smiled lightly: "Okay, let's go, this city has a lot of gold, but it's probably not easy to get all the gold." ”
The city is shrouded in fog, and no one knows how many ungodly creatures are hiding in it, or if past dynasties have set traps in the city.
Although Hawkins has the hourglass of time and can see a lot of information that ordinary people can't see, because he may be disturbed by the delusion world at any time, he doesn't rely on this information completely, at most he only uses it as a reference.
Three people and one bear, through a low bush, into the city.
Mark held a flashlight and frowned, "This place ...... It's a bit of a problem. ”
"It was so clean, it was like someone was cleaning it. Hawkins nodded and smiled.
The Hungry King moved his nose and spoke, "On the right, the gold is on the right." ”
"Gold, Hawkins, let's go!" Marnie immediately grabbed Hawkins' clothes and exclaimed excitedly.
Hawkins squinted and smiled, "Well, let's go!"
One of the special features of the buildings in the city is that the water chestnuts of the buildings are wrapped in round metal, which is generally made of brass, and if you can't afford to use brass, you will use other materials, but it will definitely be painted with a layer of gold.
This layer of gold paint has become mottled and mutilated by the erosion of time, and even a lot of it has revealed its original color.
However, the place where Hawkins and they went was very magnificent, the whole building was almost thirty meters high, the water chestnut was really wrapped in gold, and the gaps in the building were filled with gold, and the whole building exuded a cool atmosphere.
"That's a lot of gold!" Marnie said in deep amazement as she looked at the building with wide eyes.
Hawkins smiled: "It is said that thirty percent of the gold of the Mobis Dynasty is in the Golden City, although there may be discrepancies in the data, but there should be little difference." ”
"Captain, aren't they afraid that someone will come and steal?" asked Mark in surprise as he stepped on the slate on the ground, and found that the gaps in the slate were also filled with gold.
Hawkins laughed: "In the heyday of the Mobis Dynasty, there were more patrols here than you can imagine, and only small things like it could be fooled in. ”
"I'm not coming in in the dark, I'm coming in openly!" the Hungry King quickly retorted when he found out that Hawkins was talking about himself.
Hawkins smiled: "Okay, but it's not easy to take away this gold, here!"
"Coming?" Mark was stunned for a moment, and immediately clenched Fang Tian's halberd, his eyes scanning the four directions.
But visibility was very low in the fog, and even with a strong flashlight, they could not see much, and the construction industry in front could only see the outline, and only the flashlight could see the reflection of gold.
Suddenly, a golden monster suddenly burst out of the mist and swooped down on Mark at the front.
Mark had Hawkins' reminder, and he didn't panic, but directly used Fang Tian's halberd to block the monster's attack.
"That's the Golden Retriever Four-Fingered Ape, a gold-loving delirious creature, all the hair on its body is made of gold, and different Golden Retriever Four-fingered Ape has different abilities, be careful not to be careless. Hawkins prompted.
Mark nodded, his eyes scanned the fog around him, just now the golden retriever four-fingered ape missed a blow, and immediately retreated into the fog, there will definitely be the next attack.
"There's a lot of gold, here!" said the Hungry King.
Mark felt the shaking of the ground, and immediately looked up ahead, dozens of golden haired four-fingered apes rushed out of the fog at the same time, these golden haired four-fingered apes were not the same size, the big ones were one meter five, and the small ones were only about one meter, and they directly attacked Mark when they came out.
Their hands are somewhat similar to those of humans, but they only have three fingers, and some of them are looking at Mark's eyes, some are looking at Mark's arms, and some are even reaching Mark's descendants.
", don't mess around!"
Mark dodged the attack, felt a chill in his lower body, and suddenly shouted.
However, the golden haired four-fingered ape obviously didn't want to let him go, and he swarmed up again, which was still a familiar routine.
It's not that Mark didn't fight back, the problem was that the sharp Fang Tian painting halberd hit the golden retriever of the golden retriever four-fingered ape, and it could only cut off a part of the golden retriever at most, but it couldn't cause damage to the golden retriever four-fingered ape.
So back and forth, he was directly chased and beaten by a group of golden retriever four-fingered apes.
"Hawkins, aren't you going to help Mark?" Marnie asked curiously, watching Mark being chased and beaten.
The Hungry King was also surprised and asked, "Why are those monkeys only chasing Mark and not bothering us?"
"Mark can handle it, those monkeys have good defense, but Mark will definitely win in the end, as for why they don't trouble us, of course because they can't see us!" Hawkins replied.
In fact, he has been turning on the electromagnetic force field, and when the Golden Retriever Four-Fingered Ape appeared, he had already distorted the magnetic field and shifted the light, causing only Mark to be exposed to the Golden Retriever's sight, so Mark was undoubtedly the target of the Golden Retriever's attack.
Of course, this is not to pit Mark, but mainly to let Mark fight more.
"Let's go, let's go inside!" Hawkins began.
He led Marnie and the Hungry King straight forward, and when he entered the gate, Marnie's eyes widened.
It is a temple where even the walls inside are covered in gold, and if it weren't for the fact that there are many places that have been gnawed by the golden-haired four-fingered ape, the building itself would be a work of art.
"This is the Sotun Temple. Hawkins said with a smile.
The Hungry King frowned and said, "Here...... I remember that in the past this was a place I was afraid to come to. ”
"If you had been here, you wouldn't have been so lucky. Hawkins chuckled.
Marnie struggled out of Hawkins's arms and excitedly said, "A lot of gold, all mine, all of it!"
"No, you only have a quarter of the gold. Hawkins corrected with a smile as he pressed her little head.
Marnie turned around and looked up, looked at Hawkins cutely, and said, "Hawkins, or give me your share, even if you drug my sister, I will support you." ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to get Maryn involved, you're only a fifth. Hawkins smiled.
Marnie quickly turned around and covered her mouth, deciding not to talk to Hawkins until the gold was in her pocket.
"Great master, I have a question, does Sotun really exist?" asked the Hungry King, who was not very interested in gold, and leaned on the arm of a bench made of gold, looking at Hawkins.
The Golden Sun Sotun, this is the god that all the Mobis Dynasty believes, and if it doesn't exist, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fool the people of the entire sea to believe in it.
The problem is that the Hungry King has never heard of Sotunn, neither in the real world nor in the delusional world.
"Him...... Exist. Hawkins thought for a moment and replied to the Hungry King.
The Hungry King was surprised: "It really exists, so why?"
"You're asking, why didn't He stop the Nameless Fog from encroaching on the waters of Mobis?" Hawkins asked with a smile.
The Hungry King nodded repeatedly, and that was the question it wanted to ask.
"Because the golden sun has long since fallen, a dead god naturally cannot shelter his followers. Hawkins looked ahead, his eyes as if he had seen through the fog, reaching the deepest part of the temple.
In the depths of the temple, on top of the high platform, a huge golden autumn emitted a dim light, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.
The Hungry King widened his eyes and said in shock, "Has it fallen?"
After that. Hawkins laughed.
The Hungry King was suddenly afraid, it didn't believe that the sun in the sky was golden autumn, but Sotunn was a real existence, which was a bit scary.
"Let's go, let's go see Sotunn. Hawkins laughed.
He walked over to Marnie, who was trying to figure out how to remove the golden bench, lifted Marnie in his arms with one hand, and walked deeper into the temple.
This is Sotunn's last refuge, and death is inevitable here.
