Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fountain of Deep Shadows
The Temple of a Thousand is the center of power in Quells, where the 'royal family' rules over the whole of Quelles. They usually sit high on the huge wooden seats of their ancestors and deal with the affairs of the city. The wooden chairs are arranged in an arc, from the marble floor in a stepped pattern up to a high circular ceiling, which depicts the glory of Quells.
In recent days, there has been a marked increase in the number of royal gatherings. They have been informing the city for thousands of years and know all the news in the city. When rumors of the return of magic first appeared, no one took it seriously. But when Phantom Turtles began to appear on the Wizard's Boulevard to deliver the news, they realized something was wrong.
The Temple of the Immortal is the center of power for the wizards of Quells. It is often referred to as the "Temple of Dust". Thousands of years ago, when magic was at its worn, wizards ruled all of Quells. It was their magic that frightened all those who resisted.
But after the last dragon of Middle-earth died, magic gradually declined. The male wizards of the Immortal Hall have also been reduced to the point of testing some small tricks and reluctantly passing on various poisons. The royal family took the opportunity to regain control of the city. and suppressed the male witch line to the point that few people knew about it.
But the wizards who have been passed down for thousands of years have some background after all. They had been following a certain prophecy. 'The magic will return'.
For this reason, each generation of wizards has memorized all the magic of their own lineage. Although they have not been effective for thousands of years. But the legacy has never been broken. Until one day, a wizard suddenly discovers that his magic has worked. So a strange atmosphere began to spread in Quells.
Lin Xuan and Sasanian threw the stone-carved dragon into the desert known as the Garden of Bones. The two of them, as usual, traveled lightly and stepped into the desert city.
Surprisingly, there is no shortage of water in the entire city. Lin Xuan even saw fountains in more than one place. Seeing such a landscape in a desert city, Lin Xuan felt quite incredible. You must know that this is not the Dubai of later generations, and the productivity is thousands of years behind.
"Unbelievable, I thought King's Landing was already the busiest city in the world? But it's so much better here. ”
"A person's vision is influenced by various factors such as age, experience, experience, etc. You were born in Winterfell, and the furthest part of your life is probably King's Landing. The world is a lot bigger than you think, and I'm sure Quells is definitely not the most prosperous city in the world, because you haven't been to the Free Capital, White Harbor, or even the territory of the Dorn. There are countless cities that will amaze you. ”
"Maybe one day, I'll travel all over Westeros, and even other continents."
"Nice ideals, trust me you will do it. Am I right? Drogon. The little dragon named Zhuo Geng just shook his head dissatisfiedly, as if he was very unhappy that Lin Xuan disturbed his sleep.
The two walked and talked, and soon a huge palace appeared in front of them. Thousands of stairs are densely arranged. It leads to this dark door. At this time, Sassanid found that there were no people here, and there was a huge contrast with the prosperous scene he had seen before.
"The 'Hall of Immortality', people usually call it the 'Temple of Dust'. Many people come here in search of revelation and strength, but few are able to come out. Many people still believe in this place, but in normal times no one has come. This is the territory of the wizards. Follow me and don't take half a step away from me. Whatever you see, not even your father or any other family member, don't do anything. Reporter, here, only you and I are real. ”
The original wizard Lin Xuan didn't take it to heart, but after the return of magic, the wizards who controlled another magic system still deserved respect.
After entering the main hall, it was unsurprisingly unusually cold. Sasan couldn't help but shudder and leaned on Lin Xuan's body.
Some casual laughter began to appear, and all kinds of inexplicable whispers echoed in my ears. There was an eerie atmosphere brewing throughout the hall. But at this time, Lin Xuan did something that Sasanan didn't expect. I saw that with a shake of his right hand, a fireball was thrown directly. In Sasanian's stunned eyes, the fireball directly blew one of the decorative statues in the main hall to pieces.
"You know what? In the mage's world, there is no problem that cannot be solved by a single fireball technique. If there is, then another one. As he spoke, a fireball appeared in Lin Xuan's hand. And it's twice as big as the last time.
It's a pity that this time it was not thrown out after all. Because a bald-headed strange man dressed in a purple robe and an elder with a pair of dark blue lips appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.
"It's finally showing up."
"Wizard, this is not the place for you."
"Interesting, I think only I can decide where I can go and where I can't go. I didn't intend to start a war, after all, there was very little magic left in this world. So I decided to salute before I went. I need the Fountain of Shadows, in exchange for answering one of your questions about magic. ”
"Who do you think you are, Witch King?"
"I don't know who the Witch King is, but I know he's definitely not as good as me." A huge plum ring appeared at Li Xuan's feet. At the same time, dark clouds began to appear in the sky above the entire Immortal Hall. Countless thunderbolts rolled in it, as if they were about to fall in the next second.
The wizard felt the terrifying fluctuation of magic. It seemed that the power that would turn him to ashes in the next second forced him to make a compromise.
"Please follow me." The wizard said helplessly. Just now he tried to use illusion to confuse the mage in front of him. But the other party's spiritual power is as strong as the sea. He felt that even if all the male witches combined, they might not be able to shake the other party's spiritual power.
Several people came to the back of the Immortal Hall and entered a narrow passage. The passage sloped downwards to a depth of several hundred meters. Lin Xuan felt that he had come to the depths of the ground. At the end of the passage is a circular hall.
Around the perimeter of the hall stand more than a dozen statues, dressed in uniform robes. Looks like a great wizard of the ages.
"This is the center of the Hall of Immortality, where the Fountain of Deep Shadows is located. Where is the Fountain of Deep Shadows. For thousands of years, we have drunk the Fountain of Shadows in the hope of restoring our magic. But nothing worked. Until not so long ago, the sudden return of magic. ”
Lin Xuan ignored him, just concentrating and observing the Fountain of Deep Shadow. It was a deep blue spring that took on an eerie black color in the dim light of the fire. The spring water kept gushing, but it never gushed out of the small pool, and it seemed that a large amount of spring water was flowing to some unknown place.
