#110.Inside the castle on top of the tower.
It is a very typical building of the mythological era, and although it is now dilapidated, it can still be seen that it was born in the "wild" period when there were many false gods and monsters like dogs.
The overall style is based on roughness, and only on top of this does it spread out the solemnity and delicacy that contradict it.
The whole castle is as if it was carved out of a huge stone, and it seems that the top of the mountain is carved into the shape of a castle.
From where the two of them were standing, there was a road leading to the castle gate, and on both sides of the road stood totems carved out of rocks, different from the humble totems in the city below, these rock totems were more delicate and delicate, although most of them had become blurred, but some of them could still be vaguely recognizable.
Some of the main bodies are carved full of thick tails intertwined, while others are carved with countless mouths......
It is almost certain that none of the rock totems are carved repeats, and that those rock totems present the image of various individual organ aggregates or a distorted object, which may be the abstract image that exists in the mind of the interpreter and carver. A powerful being possesses unparalleled willpower, and if he does not want mortals to know his true appearance, he can easily let mortals travel through such abstract concepts in their minds.
At the end of the road was the castle gate, and with protective magic, Lena and Ballard walked to the stone gate.
Calytan then scooped two small spirits out of his head, one into Heine's head, and the other on Lena's face.
"I don't know what mental interference will be inside, one more layer of protection is counted."
This kind of kindness would not be refused, and of course Heine slept like a dead dog, and she had little chance to refuse......
The carving on the gate is a collection of all those totems, and as I guessed just now, there is no repetition of the totems.
Judging from these intermingled and distorted patterns, it is indeed evidence that Tiamat once existed here.
- In the literature, Tiamat is the same, no one knows what he looked like, only one-sided speculation and image conjecture out of fear.
Lena didn't intend to destroy this precious artifact, so after pondering for a while, she decided to let Ballard open the door.
Remember the embarrassing joke that Lena once made about opening the door, yes, she herself thinks that this is a curse with the same setting, and the specific statement can be "opening the door can only be dismantled or destroyed by the ability to dismantle or destroy".
As a skilled trade, Ballard gladly accepted the commission.
However, after searching for a long time, he could not find the keyhole that could pick the lock and the crack in the door under the crowbar, so he had to wake up Heine, who had replenished his strength, in desperation.
"Wake up, girl, it's time for you to show off your skills."
As soon as the words fell, the girl who slept like a dead pig got up.
"What's the matter? Playing your muscles? I can! ”
“……”x3
This girl is afraid that she will be asleep, and she will be able to dream in the future......
briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to her, and after thinking about it, the girl immediately slapped her head.
"I said why I had a dream of flying...... Ah, you just want me to see how to open this door, right? ”
The three nodded.
Focusing on the door where there was not a single gap, Heine took out a stethoscope-like device from his bag, and Heine leaned on the door and listened carefully.
In fact, the purpose of asking Heine to come and find a way to open the door is not because she is a thief who dares to steal anything after a hundred battles, but mainly because the three of them feel that as newcomers, there will always be some kind of newcomer aura and other kind of luck deepening, and this girl is a green pollution-free version of Familion, with the double metaphysical bonus, she should be able to lead to unexpected effects.
Sure enough, just as she was about to give up on another method, her hand inadvertently pressed against a twisted lotus pattern on the door.
The sound of the bracket working sounded as the pattern was pressed down, and the door made a loose muffled sound.
Hurriedly retreated behind Lena, only to hear a louder muffled noise, and the door slowly rose in the flying dust.
It didn't take long for the gate to rise completely, and the not-so-dark interior came into the sight of the four of them.
It's not too dark, it's not that there's something working inside that keeps the lights going, it's the light that shines through the cracked gaps and crevices.
Floating dust fluttered wildly in the beams of light, soaking the scarf around his neck with water and covering his mouth and nose as a temporary mask to protect against the dust.
Walking into the empty hall, some old murals appeared in front of the eyes of the four people, completely different from the usual castle, the hall should have rich decoration only graffiti on the walls of ancient paintings, most of the content of the murals is about the process of the establishment of the city, following this process to find the beginning of the history of the four people for a while.
It was a painting full of distorted notches, as if it had been deliberately destroyed. However, it was clear to the four of them that this was an expression of fear and resentment that the inhabitants had used to express their irresistible existence.
Heine doesn't seem to like this style of stuff very much, so she decides to skip this paragraph and check out something else first.
The distortions covered most of the place, and simple symbols representing humans were prostrate on the ground, at the mercy of the distortions.
The second mural depicts a day when a part of the twist was detached, and people are still crawling underneath the twist.
The third one is different, the distorted piece has a "distinct" image, with a tail, a body, a mouth, reproductive organs, some internal organs, and a large eye. These things glued together in a haphazard manner, forming a huge monster that could not be easily described.
He held the humans behind him, staring at the distortion with his huge eyes.
The fourth motif is no longer the chaotic twisted notch, and the simple lines of humanity prostrate behind the monster, and in front of the monster, a mountain is slowly rising from the earth.
"It turns out that this tower was not built by man......"
Ballard sighed softly.
"I'm curious as to why Tiamat took the initiative to protect these people, that guy hates humans as creatures."
As an ancient spirit being, there was some credibility to what Calytan said, after all, she didn't know how long she had lived, she only knew that she had seen Tiamat once, as she said, Tiamat hated humans.
"It may not be that the owner of this city is human, it may be ......"
"Lina Lina, you see, there seems to be a secret door here...... Wow——! ”
