Chapter 535: "Artifact? Artifact! ”
What follows is a nearly hour-long Q&A, in which the blonde middle-aged man who claims to be the Guardian has to answer all questions because he is being controlled by Poplar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
During the entire questioning process, the other black-robed people who were hidden on the side did not act rashly, and the reason why this happened was because the person who was controlled by Poplar had the highest status here!
In this ruined city, all of them are so-called guardians, numbering three hundred, and the one controlled by Poplar claims to be a divine servant, while the others are divine slaves, all under his command.
These three hundred of them are responsible for guarding this place, and anyone who sets foot here will be assassinated by them, they feel that this place is left by the gods, and mortals are not allowed to come here and desecrate this place.
The status of the divine servant is the highest, and there is only one person, and whenever the divine servant is close to death, a person will be designated to become the next divine servant, leading the divine slave to continue to guard this place, waiting for the so-called god to come.
They didn't live here for thousands of years, in fact, everyone came from the outside world!
Three hundred guardians, who have maintained this number for countless years, are killed every time someone is over sixty years old, on the grounds that they are no longer qualified to serve as divine slaves and should return to the arms of the gods.
When the number of divine slaves decreases, the divine servants will send people to secretly leave the desert, capture people from the outside world, and go through harsh training, torture and brainwashing, so that they will accept their identity as divine slaves from the depths of their souls, and instinctively will not question their own thoughts and lose themselves.
The divine servant controlled by Poplar is also from the outside world, and he has only been a divine servant for three years, which is why he can speak English.
Poplar can't imagine how harsh torture and brainwashing it must be before people can fundamentally change their minds!
Legend has it that there are countless treasures in this city, but over the course of thousands of years, these guardians have taken those treasures to the outside world one after another, exchanged for necessary supplies, and brought back here through the desert, so that they can survive here.
Thousands of years have passed, and the wealth in the city has almost been consumed!
From generation to generation, they have remained here until now.
For thousands of years, the mystery of this place has not been known by the outside world, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of torture and brainwashing everyone here has gone through to keep the secrets here.
The insects in the outer moat are not kept in captivity, but a special creature in the desert, which is only found in this place, and when necessary, they will even feed on some kind of bug.
Because they have been neighbors with those bugs for countless years, they can get along with the bugs because of the experience they have passed on.
The way they peel off human skin is to use the mucus from the insect as a material, and as long as the person is soaked in that mucus, the skin will quickly fall off......
After careful questioning, Poplar understood that the so-called God in their mouths had never seen anyone before, but it was just a spiritual belief, and the brainwashing from generation to generation, people who did not believe in God were treated as heretics, and the rest were extremely convinced that God existed, and they were faithful servants of God.
They worship the god of the sun, which is evident from the sun motifs they pose with their corpses......
These are just a bunch of poor people, who have been secretly brought here from the outside world since they were children, and have been brainwashed and tortured and trained, and their thinking has been distorted, even if the poplar ecstasy sound is controlled, they can't completely erase the kind of attachment to God in their hearts.
In the end, Poplar asked the most crucial point, looked at the divine servant and said, "Can you tell me why such a large area is not visible to the outside world at all?" Also, why are you invisible? ”
The fundamental reason why he came here was this, and his heart was full of curiosity.
The divine servant immediately replied: "The reason why the divine city is not discovered by the outside world is because countless years ago, the god left an artifact here, and the divine power emitted by the artifact can hide this place from being seen by the outside world, and the reason why we can be invisible is also the reason for that artifact, the ancestor of the divine servant, stripped three hundred pieces from the artifact, and we can hide our bodies at will with the fragments in our hands."
As he answered, the servant showed Poplar the so-called fragment, which was a black piece of metal the size of a fingernail.
When he saw that thing, Poplar's eyes widened suddenly, it was just such a piece of metal, but it exuded magical fluctuations, which could affect his telepathy and vision.
"The so-called artifact fragment is estimated to be a deception, I would rather believe that this is an unknown metal element that has not yet been discovered by science," Hinting at the metal piece in his hand, Poplar muttered to himself.
This kind of metal piece, when exposed to the air, will emit magical fluctuations, which can distort the light and affect the vision and even the aspen telekinesis and electronic signals, so as to achieve the purpose of making people invisible, such a small piece, can affect an area with a diameter of two meters.
It's easy to get rid of this invisibility or to make it visible, just soak it in water!
These three hundred so-called guardians, each of them has a piece of such a fragment on their body, and there is a glass bottle containing water on their body, and they can manifest it by placing the fragment in the water, and once the metal piece leaves the water, it can emit magical fluctuations to achieve the purpose of stealth.
It is precisely because of this thing that the three hundred guardians can come out of nowhere and cause some terrifying supernatural events.
"Damn, once the magical thing is explained, it's actually like that," Poplar pouted.
The fragment in his hand was soaked in water in a glass bottle, otherwise it would not have been visible to the naked eye.
No wonder this kind of thing has not been found in the world, it cannot be seen at all without encountering water, and it is understandable that it has not been discovered so far.
With a flash of his eyes, Poplar felt that something was wrong, if these fragments were stripped from the so-called complete artifact, logically speaking, this huge city could not be seen by the outside world, and should be shrouded in even greater metal fluctuations, so that even if you enter this city, you can't see anything at all, but why does it feel that there is only a barrier between this place and the outside world?
Poplar didn't understand this situation, and asked the people he controlled, but this guy didn't know, and only said that it was the credit of the artifact, it was the thing of the gods, and it was placed in the temple, and they didn't dare to touch it.
With a flash of his eyes, Poplar felt that he would know the reason when he waited and looked, and that there must be a larger whole.
"No......" subconsciously muttered to himself, and Poplar touched his chin and frowned in thought.
He always felt like he'd heard of it somewhere.
There was a quick thought in his mind, and then his eyes widened suddenly.
"God Destroying Gold!" The three words blurted out, and Poplar's heart pounded.
After he learned the Atlas script, he read many books from the Atlas, especially books about the introduction of mountains and rivers and various minerals, including the mention of this metal.
Of course, the books he read at the beginning were only for ordinary people, and the name of God Destroying Gold was only mentioned, and there was no specific introduction.
The actual introduction to this metal was seen in the Inheritance Jade Pendant after he received the Shinto Inheritance, and it was introduced in a book about drawing talismans.
This kind of metal can be called a god of heaven and earth, a rare treasure, incomparably precious, too little and too little, often a piece the size of a grain of rice can set off a bloody storm!
According to the introduction, this metal called God Destroying Gold is scarce because it is invisible to the naked eye, and scarcity is not the main reason for his preciousness, the main reason is his efficacy.
Ordinary weapons, when refining, if they are mixed with a little bit of this god-destroying gold, then this weapon is in the hands of a warrior, and the blood and qi are urging, which is enough to kill the divine soul of a Shinto monk!
If the amount of this metal is large, the weapon that can be refined is enough to shatter the spells of the Shinto monks!
It can be said that this metal is the nemesis of Shinto monks, so it is called God Destroying Gold!
This is just the most ordinary use of the God Destroying Gold, if this kind of thing falls into the hands of Shinto monks and is refined into a magic weapon, then it is called terrifying, and it has incredible power!
Legend has it that the heirloom jade seals of every country in the other world are doped with this metal, so they can suppress the Shinto monks in the territory!
"If what is said in the introduction is true, then such a small piece, if it is mixed with an ordinary sword body, this sword is in the hands of a martial artist, and it is urged by blood and qi, and the martial artist holding the sword is enough to fight with the people of the Yin God realm of the Shinto monk, because the sword body emits magical fluctuations, which is enough to cut off the connection between the Yin God and the heaven and the earth!"
Looking at the fragments in the glass bottle in his hand, Poplar muttered to himself, so excited that he was shaking all over.
Artifact shards? This fucking shards are artifact fragments, and there are three hundred of them......
Wrong!
There's also a whole 'artifact'!
This can only affect an area with a diameter of two meters, so how huge is the complete 'artifact' that can cover a desert?
Poplar's heart is hot all of a sudden, you must get it!
He only had a cursory understanding of the use of this kind of thing, and the record was not detailed, after all, it was hard to find, and Poplar believed that the effect of this kind of thing was absolutely against the sky, and it was far from what he knew and could say clearly!
Unceremoniously putting away this fragment, Poplar looked at the 'divine servant' with burning eyes and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the so-called artifact?" ”
"The highest part of the palace," the other party said, pointing to the palace in front of him.
Standing up, Poplar immediately wanted to go over and look at the so-called artifact and get his hands on it, but he stopped and looked at the servant and said, "Now, order them to give me all the pieces on their bodies!" ”
This kind of thing, in the hands of a bunch of crazy people, is simply a tyrannical thing.
Those divine slaves were absolutely loyal to the divine servants, and under the orders of the divine servants, the fragments fell into the hands of Poplar, plus the divine servants in their hands, exactly three hundred pieces.
After getting all the fragments, Poplar walked to the palace without hesitation, but stopped again and asked the servant: "By the way, it seems that a person came in at first, where did he go?" ”
