Chapter 314 Temple
The forests of the Arakawa realm are full of demonic beasts and demonic plants, but there are few low-level guardians, Arthur's dragon power naturally restrains all the demonic beasts, and the very dangerous forest area has become the safest place, after talking to the fire weaving roughly, Arthur has a general understanding of Arakawa, each area has two guardians in charge of trials, and their duty is to test those who come.
Now Arthur only knows three areas, these three areas are obviously very large, Arthur took more than two days to get out of the desert area, this dense and endless dense forest area does not know how many days to get out, and his ultimate goal is to go to the water source area to find holy water.
After nearly a day of safe marching, Arthur and Fireweave came to a place that was clearly a temple.
This temple is different from the Dawning Continent and the known places on the continent, he is biased towards the special fusion of ancient Babylonian and ancient Egyptian pyramids, which looks very strange, but is unusually complex and grand.
Arthur saw what he saw, and wondered if he was studying architecture. Both were born as saviors, but the times in which the two lived were hundreds of years apart.
"Master, shall we go in?" asked Hoori.
"Of course, I at least have a natural advantage over the four members of the Scarlet God Cult that I don't have to fight the defenders, since such a building exists here, it will definitely have the value and significance of his existence. ”
The temple has not had a guest for a long time, and in the middle and lower parts of the place, where it cannot receive sunlight, it is covered with moss.
Arthur's powerful perception looked inside, empty, like a quiet lake, dead and unusual.
The entrance is a passage made of boulders that can be stacked by three people in parallel, not wide, and the inside is very deep, without any light source. Fireweave walked in front of Arthur, and a flame suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Be careful, there should be a lot of traps around here. Arthur reminded.
There were some animals on each of the rocks below, Arthur stopped the fire weaving walking forward, and by the light of the fire in the fire weaving hand, Arthur looked at the surrounding walls, the murals on them were very interesting, they were all monsters from the wartime.
Overlaps with the picture on the ground.
The monsters on the ground can be roughly divided into five similar animals, tigers, wolves, lions, white bears, and mice.
Tiger-like monsters fail to fight humans, wolf-like monsters stand in the jungle and look down on men with bows and arrows, lions with wings fly in mid-air and swoop down on human armies, giant white bears chase humans with blood in their mouths, and tiny rats hide behind humans.
Some of the innermost things are too dark to be seen, but the general content should be similar.
"Fireweave threw a ball of fire at the tiger slate in the middle. Arthur commanded.
The flames in the hands of the fire weaver smashed on the stone slab, and in an instant, ten thousand invisible blades swept across, and several strong winds fought directly in the air, screaming and sobbing.
"Oh my God, this is really damning, one wrong step will be doomed. ”
Arthur took out the crystals he had picked up from the remnants of the magic puppet from the spatial ring, threw them out one by one, and after the light lit up the surroundings, Arthur carefully looked forward.
After watching it for nearly 30 minutes, Arthur looked at the fire weaver beside him and said. "Do you know the legend of the mouse?"
"Master, haven't rats always been the most useless creatures?"
Arthur shook his head slowly.
"The first symbolism of the rat is spirituality, which includes both its cleverness and its functional psychic aspects. It has a sensitive sense of smell, is timid and suspicious, has a high level of vigilance, and its body is very dexterous, it can run through walls and walls, and it also has two other sudden skills. ”..
"From tens of meters or even hundreds of meters in the air, the roof of the building fell to the ground, turned over, and gasped for breath as if it was nothing, and there was absolutely no worry about breaking your life. ”
"Although it is not an aquatic animal, and it does not have super swimming skills, but it cannot be stopped by narrow ditches and shallow ponds, and in order to survive, it can drill several meters under the water in one breath and remain unscathed. So to fall or drown a rat is a bit of a wasted effort. ”
My former hometown describes a man as quick and adaptable, and he is often described as "fickle as a mouse." "Rat nature is psychic, and can predict good luck and evil. In fact, rats are born in nature, grow up in nature, react to the unexpected that will happen in nature, and have special instincts. ”
Arthur paused for a moment, then looked at the only creature attached to humans and explained.
"The second symbolism of the rat is that it is vigorous. It has a high survival rate and a long lifespan, and most of them can enjoy their old age, die well, and have children and grandchildren unless they are attacked by predator cats or large-scale extermination operations, which is beyond the reach of other animals. ”
"The world is always wonderful, and the most powerful creatures may get many, but they will never survive to the end, because it is often the weakest but shrewd people who live to the end. ”
"I think the owner of this temple is a shrewd advisor. ”
"If my guess is correct, this place should be inhabited by one of the Beast Emperor's most trusted men, the poison wizard Rasin Fan, the ruthless poisoner who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in one night. ”
Unexpectedly, this ruthless person was compared to a mouse by Wujiang. ”
Arthur stepped on the stone slab symbolizing the rat and was fine!!
"It's good to only step on mice, don't step on anything else, or we'll all die." ”
The two of them continued to move forward, and when they crossed the end, the door in front opened, and there was a loud sound behind them, and the door outside closed, and magic lamps appeared on both sides, lighting up the murals on both sides, and Arthur saw the whole picture clearly.
The frescoes in the second half did change a lot, but except for Arthur, Fireweave couldn't understand what it was. But Arthur saw a cat and a mouse on the mural, and smiled knowingly, as for what kind of people don't say.
Sure enough, he's a fellow believer!, but can anyone else but me and you understand what these are?
You're lonely, borderless, just as I'm lonely.
Living alone and wisely, there is nothing to share the secrets hidden in their hearts alone, and even if they share them, they don't understand the meaning of these pleasures. You gain a lot, but you lose a lot.
I came here because of impulsive righteousness and courage, and why are you?
"Master, how these frescoes are so peculiar, how can the cat and the mouse walk on two feet, and how the cat is so stupid. Hoori asked, confused.
"It is a reality that a cat catches a mouse, a cat can't catch a mouse is a fairy tale, a cat and a mouse become good friends is an expectation, and a cat falling in love with a mouse is love. ”
"Two parties who are naturally hostile to each other are only fatally entangled, just like the two parties in those love stories. ”
Hoori looked at the end and pointed to a corner. "My lord, there are words there. ”
Arthur looked up at the place.
