Chapter 316: The Temple
When people think of the Caucasus Mountains, they immediately think not of its magnificent beauty and its rich implications, but of the myths associated with it.
The story of Prometheus may be familiar to everyone. This "fire thief" brought light and warmth to the world, but he suffered from the wind and rain on the cliffs of the Caucasus, and the pecking of the eagle. Heroes who transcended suffering were revered by the populace and saved as a result. This ancient myth has long been a distant memory of mankind.
"Since ancient times, mountains have been places of worship. Prometheus' practice of giving fire to humans was exactly what the purpose of the sacrifice was, and because of the ancestor worship factor, Prometheus was considered to be the first man, not a god. Later, he became a revered sun god and guided people out of the life of drinking blood. Although in Greece more people thought that the god of wisdom was Athena, it was because of the change of times, and Athena was similar in nature to Prometheus. Athena is based on the goddess of the earth believed in by the matriarchal clans of the Mediterranean region, while Prometheus is based on Hindu mythology. ”
On the outskirts of Sukhumi there is the ruins of a castle named after the first emperor who united the Georgian principalities, Bagtala III. Four kilometres from the city is the famous Clarsourie Wall, which resembles the ancient Great Wall of China, and is a spectacular stretch through the mountains.
Although there is also a group of caves in Ochamchilef, the most famous of which is two kilometers long.
But they're not here to watch.
Walking on the rolling city wall, Ling Yi looked out at the beautiful forest land. By the way, I'll give Tomorrow Nai a little common sense. Having said that, the mythological inheritance around the world is not as simple as it seems, and it is absolutely impossible to understand it without professional research parties and magicians who have received systematic education.
Asujina has been learning magic for less than three months.
However, she is extremely adaptable, and any basic knowledge is in her hands, and it will take less than a few days to understand it. So Ling Yi also saved a lot of effort and began to teach magic.
First of all, she was taught projection magic.
In the world of the moon, this is a difficult magic trick that is regarded as a chicken rib.
However, Ling Yi was very optimistic about this magic trick.
Once mastered, there is no limit to what you can achieve.
"Projection magic is very difficult. But there is also a trick. As long as you know enough about projection objects and have enough mana, it will definitely come to fruition. ”
'On the importance of knowledge' Ling Yi raised a finger and said seriously.
"I'll try to remember everything you say."
Asukina nodded emphatically.
"No, it doesn't have to be that way. Just keep all the 'knowledge' I am talking about. The rest doesn't matter. ”
The corners of Ling Yi's mouth twitched. The smile barely kept it.
Asuna Yuuki, the girl who was entangled with him in the hot spring a few hours ago, made a rather strong impression on him, although he was not a virgin. But there is still too little experience with young women.
Facing her confession and that green and clumsy kiss
It should be said that it is fortunate that Kusla's call came in time, otherwise he would not have gotten up this morning.
"Mr. Ling." Not far away, Kusla put away his phone and walked over.
"The address was found, just under a canyon south of the Clarassuri Wall, and although the terrain was quite complicated, it would take us about an hour to reach it by foot."
"Then let's go, I can't wait to meet the 'Human Ancestor'."
Looking at Ling Yi, who was full of interest and couldn't wait to leave, Kusra couldn't help but say:
"Hey, have you ever wondered who will clean up this mess if it fails?"
In his opinion, Ling Yi was only a powerful magician at best, and it was undoubtedly a dead end for him to use the God of Disobedience as his opponent.
However, he is kind to others, and it is difficult for him to refuse Ling Yi's request.
"Don't worry, even if I go to the netherworld, I won't die."
Ling Yi replied heartily.
"No, I don't mean that. It doesn't matter if you die or not, the key is the surrounding residents. Even if he is the father of mankind, once he becomes a god of disobedience, who knows what strange things he will do. ”
There is a saying in Japanese mythology.
To be evil is to be an evil God, and to be good is to be a good God.
"So what? People who don't know each other, how many deaths are just a number to me. ”
"You guys really have no scruples."
Kusla let out a low sigh and said in dismay.
"This is the privilege of those who have power."
Ling Yi left without looking back.
****************
The Western Caucasus Mountains are roughly a combination of ice, snow and forests.
Ice peaks can be seen in the distance, and the foothills are covered with lush forests.
To put it bluntly, if Kusla hadn't led the way, Ling Yi and the others would definitely have lost their way.
Because the terrain here is in the shape of a stepped circle, the further down you go, the more you have the illusion that there is hell ahead, the sun is blocked by the dense foliage, almost the same in any direction, and the air gradually becomes cold and filled with the smell of earth.
"Kusla, what do you say is down here?"
Ling Yi asked suddenly.
"Who knows, I haven't been here either, but I've just gotten some information from the locals. I can guarantee that I didn't lead the wrong way, but whether the information is correct or not is unknown. ”
Kusla, who led the way in front, said without looking back. He was wearing a jacket, thick pants and leather boots, and compared to Ling Yi's casual dress, he looked like a professional tour guide.
"Actually, I don't care about that, as long as the temple is nearby, I'll be able to find it sooner or later."
Ling Yi said casually.
"Expeditions, though, are a different story."
"Adventure?"
Asujina was speechless.
She was too tired to do anything.
As a result, this guy still thinks about adventure and puts business on the back burner.
"Is Tomorrow Nai tired?"
"Huh?"
was poked in her mind, and Tomorrow Nai suddenly panicked.
"Without that, I can still hold on."
This sentence seems a bit inconsistent.
Ling Yi didn't bother to break it, and took out a string of silver necklaces from his pocket.
Pendulum divination - this is a spell used by Erica and is extremely popular in Celtic culture.
Druid priests who claim to have been blessed by the forest live in this kind of place, and it's not surprising that they won't be able to find anything if they lose it, which is why this object seeking spell was born.
Speaking of which, in the East there is a kind of magic called 'Feng Shui', which practices secrecy.
Feng Shui is good at 'observing' those 'invisible' 'qi'.
The dragon ruler is one of the most famous spells of Feng Shui.
If Sect Master Luo Hao is also there, it will only be a matter of minutes to find out where the temple is.
After all, Feng Shui is also a type of magic.
As one of the few magicians, there's no reason why she wouldn't.
Ignore Kusla and 'If you have something like this, I'll take it out sooner!' 's complaints, this time it was replaced by Ling Yi to lead the way.
Looks like he's going to make a quick decision.
(Today's physical education class is too tired, Saturday and Sunday will make up the update.) (To be continued......)
