Chapter 254: Temple of Kings

Behind the broken granite door is an empty hall. The steep cliffs on both sides of the main hall seem to have been cut by knives and axes, and the edges and corners are so sharp that you can't see the end when you look up. A deep and dark glimmer of light came from the ceiling of the abyss and sprinkled on the huge stone statues standing on both sides of the main hall, giving the atmosphere in the main hall a touch of solemnity and sacredness.

Stepping into the space of the main hall and going down the granite stone steps, Jiang Feng's eyes followed the direction of the tactical flashlight, scanning the hundred-meter-high boulder statues on both sides of the main hall, and his face couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"Here...... Is it the Temple of Kings? ”

The Temple of Kings, the temple sung by countless heroic epics, the temple of the souls of the legendary dwarves. Legend has it that every dwarven king who died was entitled to put his stone statue in this temple and be admired by posterity as long as he did not commit any major wrongs during his lifetime.

According to the epic, the dwarven Flame Hammer Legion was inspected by the dwarven kings and ancestral kings in the Temple of Kings, and stepped into the front line of the battle against the Chaos Legion.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It is no wonder that for more than 2,000 years, countless bards, adventurers, and even wizards have explored the secrets of higher creatures in ancient times, but no one has found this relic that appears in the epic, it turns out that its true body is not in the Aditya continent and Noren continent at all, but in the small secret realm! ”

Jiang Feng sighed in his heart, the protection of the ancestral statues by these dwarves was simply convincing.

Who would have thought that the altar that sealed the entrance to the secret realm was located in the depths of the inland desert of the Aditya continent. Who would have thought that the secret place that those aboriginal wizards coveted was nothing more than guarding the garden outside the Temple of Kings......

The only thing that Jiang Feng couldn't understand was why those dwarves wanted to set up such a troublesome setting as Day Zero if they just wanted to hide the stone statues of their ancestors. Every twelve to fifteen days, the magic elements of the entire secret realm are emptied, and those who have a little mind can find the clues here.

There is also a secret entrance that is actively opened every five years, as if it is intentionally letting people in.

At the end of the main hall is a giant throne carved out of granite. The throne was empty, presumably unfinished. According to the description in the epic, this throne should belong to the oldest king.

On the cliff-like handrails on either side of the throne are carved a line of dwarven script.

"Wisdom makes our eyes like torches to see through the darkness."

"Courage makes us fearless and overcomes obstacles."

Jiang Feng frowned, standing under the throne and thinking, trying to penetrate the secrets hidden in this temple of kings.

He could clearly feel that this was the end of all the magical elements, but this throne was like a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring the magical elements in the space, as if there was no end.

Suddenly, Jiang Feng's heart moved slightly, and he looked back suddenly, his gaze quickly swept over the statues of kings on both sides of the wall.

"Twenty-seven kings...... And so it was. ”

According to the original volume of Nolan's epic poem, until the end of the Covenant Age, there were twenty-nine dwarven kings, except for two of them, the stigmatized mediocrity and the alcoholic, and counting the twenty-seven kings of the first king, all of them in this temple!

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng's mind instantly became active, it was not that this temple was not completed, but that there was a discrepancy between the things recorded in the epic and the facts!

The throne of the Temple of Kings was originally empty, and the oldest King, the King of the Great One, was in this Temple!

"Wisdom makes our eyes like torches to see through the darkness."

"Courage makes us fearless and overcomes obstacles."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Feng silently read the words engraved under the throne, and his gaze moved along the stone statues on both sides of the main hall.

Only then did he notice that the right eye of each granite statue was empty, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Do you want to find out who owns the throne?"

Thinking of the steam robot guarding the main gate before, Jiang Feng's heart moved slightly, and he took out the lava core that he had put into the space ring.

By comparing the dimensions of the eye sockets on the statue, he could be sure that the lava core was just right to fit in!

"I see, walk through the forest with the magic sealed and defeat the steam robot at the door...... Is this a test of courage? ”

"I thought that the test of wisdom was to find this ruin, but I didn't expect the real trial to be here. If I find the wrong person, I'm afraid there are other agencies waiting for me......"

"But it's a pity that this problem may be difficult for ordinary people, but it can't stop me."

The corners of Jiang Feng's mouth hooked up a smile.

Although he had not seen what the dwarven king looked like thousands of years ago, it was not difficult to find the one that best matched the many descriptions among the countless epics according to the descriptions of that king.

This level must be a test of the tester's erudition, but for Jiang Feng, who has an intelligent brain chip and often collects information about the aborigines, it is as simple as a pediatrics.

Screening the most likely items from countless chaotic information mixed with truth and falsehood is one of the analysis functions of the brain.

"Brain, search the database related to the entry of the Aditya continent! Combine all the descriptions of the oldest dwarven kings and compare them with the stone statues of the temple! ”

【Searching......】

[3,470 entries were found, and the entries with the highest repetition rate were selected to sort ......]

[Sort according to the year the entry was written......]

[Analysis completed......]

Soon, the brain chip marked the third stone statue on the left hand side in Jiang Feng's field of vision!

It was the oldest statue of the Dwarven King.

At the same time, the accuracy rate is also given, which is 97.1%!

"Are you hiding here......

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth, and he took out a reconnaissance rotary-wing drone and hung the lava core on the robotic arm under the drone.

"Go ahead."

With a subtle buzzing sound, the gyrocopter drone flew to the top of the statue. Normally, this hundred-meter-high colossus should have been climbed by the person who was tested himself.

However, for Jiang Feng, there is not so much trouble, and a drone is enough to do it for him.

Seeing that the lava core was stuffed into the right eye socket of the "Great One", Jiang Feng ordered the drone to retreat a few meters and waited quietly for a moment, but nothing happened.

Just when he frowned slightly, thinking that he was wrong, there was a sudden tremor of shaking the ground from the soles of his feet.

"What's the situation!?"

Jiang Feng was shocked in his heart, watching the gravel dust shake off from the air, thinking that he had found a mistake, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart.

However, just as he was about to quickly leave the temple, a circular inscription circle suddenly emerged from the floor, enveloping the entire hall. The magical elements gathered here erupted like a torrent in an instant, instantly filling up the circuits of the inscriptions.

White light flickered, illuminating the entire space within the Temple of Kings.

When that light dissipated, Jiang Feng had already disappeared from the main hall.

At the same time, countless stones fell from the sky, burying twenty-seven idols. With the collapse of the corridor, the entire ruins collapsed in the earthquake, and the Temple of Kings, which had never seen the light of day, was completely annihilated in the dust of history......

Dozens of kilometers away, Yiran also felt the huge earthquake. Not only that, but almost at the same time, she also felt that the magic element, which had been extremely thin, was being refilled......

Slightly stunned, Yi Ran removed the muzzle of the gun aimed at the forest, looked in the direction of the return of the magic element, and muttered to herself.

"Day Zero...... It ended early? What's going on?! ”
