Chapter 39: Bones
In a small, unremarkable room, Kungo discovers clues to the chatter of two gods.
A sentence of "Come back!" ”
An inexplicable number.
This led Apo to believe that the guy who left these two clues was actually a psychopath.
The two of them spent 24 hours navigating the outrageously large underground base before finally finding the next clue.
A blocked gate.
The charged armor used on the gate.
This charged armor is the strongest of all entity armor, and can block attacks of level 7 energy without breaking. This also means that Kungo has to blow up this underground base in its entirety, otherwise he will not be able to violently open this door.
And he'd walked through every other place he could, and he'd explored all the places before this door.
This is a door that must be passed.
And the only way to open the door is to find the code.
There is a recognizer on the door, entering the code is the only way to open it, any other connection will make the door self-destruct.
Based on the fact that this is a gate made of charged armor, once it explodes, Kungo may not be able to block it with his face, so Apo didn't dare to try to crack the code after discovering this trap.
Kungo looked at the identifier for a long moment, and then smashed it in Apo's heartbeat.
The smashed identifier did not cause an explosion, but it revealed a nine-square password entry window underneath.
Apo's whole person was confused: ", what is this?" What is this? ”
"Combination lock!" Kungo smiled and entered the previous string of numbers.
Then, the door opened.
"Damn, is it really open?" Apo was even more shocked.
"That's why I said that the previous clue was actually very straightforward!" Kungo laughed.
Po suddenly came back to his senses after a moment of confusion: "No, this is very wrong! All of the Empire's ciphers are logical ciphers and matrix ciphers used, and such a simple and ineffective numeric-only cipher has never been used! ”
"And the Empire's style of action back then was not so gentle, although all the vassals of the Empire could retain their own cultural traditions, but as long as the technology tree reached a certain level, it would move closer to the Empire."
"Therefore, any race within the Empire that has the concept of 'combination locks' uses logical ciphers and matrix ciphers. Only one race will use a numeric-only password! ”
Kungo had already understood what the other party meant: "Yes, there is only one race. Earth Humans. The real function of this combination lock is not to lock people, but to determine whether the people who come here are human beings on the earth! ”
He laughed twice, "Do you know what that means? ”
"That guy in this base has been watching the earth, it's not closed here, he's been watching the outside!" Apo said in a deep voice, "Host, who are you thinking of?" ”
The two were silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "Golden Ceremony!" ”
Kungo took a deep breath and looked at the long corridor behind the passage: "It seems that we should be able to see the secrets here next!" ”
"But it could also be a huge trap, the kind to take!" Po whistled, "Do you want to go in?" ”
"Of course!"
Kungo strode into the hallway.
All the way forward, after more than ten minutes, the long passage was finally completed, and what appeared in front of Kungo was a rather ordinary-looking door.
It is two meters high and one or two meters wide, and it is ordinary, made of mahogany.
On the surface, it is.
But seeing a mahogany door in this place is the biggest anomaly in itself.
Kungo took a deep breath and pushed open the mahogany door.
Behind the door, there was a dim room of 1,000 square meters, and the moment Kungo pushed the door open, the room lit up with bright light.
Twenty-two chairs are placed symmetrically on each side of the room.
Each chair had a skeleton on it.
From the appearance of those bones, it can be seen that they are not the same race, but they have obviously been carefully kept, otherwise these bones would have turned to ashes after such a long time.
In the main seat of the room facing the door, there was a very ornate throne-like position, and there was a skeleton on it.
Golden.
And the abdomen has bone plates that look like scales.
The bones of a pure-blooded Lando, and the bloodline is very pure and noble.
The skeletons of the Landos are quite recognizable, their bones are golden, and the purer the gold, the more golden, the nobler their lineage.
"Royalty?" Po almost screamed, "There's a royal skeleton here?" Oh, my God! ”
"Oh no, except for the last thousand years of war in history, there is only one member of the imperial family who is missing, and he is Tiatma the Great! Could it be that this is the remains of Tiatma the Great? ”
Looking at the tall skeleton, which almost looked like it was made of pure gold, Po felt chills all over his body—if he had a body.
Tiatma the Great was one of the most controversial emperors in the history of the Golden Empire.
Some say he's great, others say he's cowardly.
But no matter what later generations say, he is also an ancient, and just like that, Apo would not be so shocked.
What really shocked Apo was that from the historical materials he had obtained from Bai Yu before, it was known that the person who originally established the Golden Rite Society was none other than Emperor Tiatma.
This emperor, who suddenly disappeared after reigning for 3,000 years, and almost caused the first civil strife of the Golden Empire to fight for the throne, actually died here?
Judging from the various traces, this underground base has not been opened for at least 30,000 years. In other words, it is definitely not a certain emperor 30,000 years ago.
Of all the emperors of 30,000 years ago, only Tiatma the Great is missing.
While Awa was shocked and sighed, Kungo was observing everything around him, and finally his eyes fell on the golden skeleton.
"Why don't you come out to meet? Did you bring us here so that we might see your bones? ”
Po: "What are you talking about??"
"You hear it, you feel it, and you still don't know?" Kungo snorted.
"Tiatma the Great is still alive?" Po felt that if he were a living person, he would have fainted at this time.
"I don't know if I'm alive or not, but I shouldn't be dead!" Kungo shrugged his shoulders and unceremoniously raised the MT-144 in his hand to aim at the skeleton, "If you pretend to be deep again, believe it or not, I'll give you a shot?" ”
It may have been Kungo's threat that had played a role, or maybe it was something else, and an ethereal voice appeared directly in Kungo's mind.
"You're finally here, Earthling!"
