Chapter 31: The Temple

It was a gate of light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A corridor filled with the golden glow of the morning sun leads to an unknown place, replacing the elegant and ornate silver room, as if paved with gold.

"This ......"

"It's not like Nephtis's style. ”

Magellan took a step forward, feeling the subtle sensation of stepping on the light with the soles of his feet.

"Where does this lead?"

"The bottom of the lake. ”

The countess remained in the same position as she had recited the incantation, her arms outstretched, and she remained motionless for a long time, feeling the mysterious power that pervaded everywhere.

"Mixed...... But powerful, almost omnipotent......"

Magellan reached for the golden wall, touching nothing, but could see his fingers resting on the wall, unable to move again.

"What the hell is this......"

"Miracles. ”

The countess lowered her arms and walked forward.

At a certain moment, she crossed the eternity.

Magellan followed the countess into a certain place, and at that moment the whole world slowed down.

He was standing in the midst of a raging torrent, and countless people were swept in, and countless faces were looking at each other in the torrent.

Magellan looked around blankly, trying to see the faces of the countless people, but all he saw was chaos.

Countless people gathered here, men, women and children, all talking something, but the sound was an unrecognizable hum, all of them were showing joy and sorrow, but Magellan saw only a distorted light and shadow.

Time is frozen.

Magellan began to get agitated, he wondered when it was going to end, and then Magellan began to wonder, he didn't know when he had the idea.

The shouts of the crowd grew louder and louder.

Magellan wanted to see the end, but he didn't see anything.

And just like that, 10,000 years passed.

Finally, the journey is over.

Magellan stood at the finish line, staring blankly at the silver moonlit turnaround staircase, unable to remember why he had come here for a long time.

"Ah......h

The countess put a hand on Magellan's shoulder: "If you don't understand what you see, then you can't protect yourself." ”

"Was the magic of ancient Emanchet so dangerous......

"Meow. ”

It was much later that Magellan finally came to his senses, and he looked up at the moonlight from nowhere, and let out a long sigh.

"Where will it be next?"

This was knowingly asked, but Magellan couldn't help but wonder if the end of the steps down could really be the temple of the goddess.

"Maybe Horus really fell in love with Nephthys. ”

"The alliance between the gods is not something that mortals can understand, but at least, there will be no love between the gods. ”

They descended the stairs and reached the bottom a short time later, passing through an archway and entering an ornate hall.

It was an inverted hemisphere, with a stone floor underneath and a clear lake above, the current floating unnaturally like an amplified bubble, and the silver moonlight shining through the lake illuminated the hall.

On the earthy sandstone floor, the moon inlaid with silver, along the edge of the circle, is the phase of each full moon from Crescent Island in the thirty days of the month.

"There is no road. ”

This was not normal, Magellan looked around, but did not see the statue of the goddess and the right hand of Thoth, which he expected.

"What a surprise," ...... countess looked down at the floor, "whether simple or extravagant." ”

In ancient Emenchet, silver was a rarer precious metal than gold, and the silver moon phase on the floor was comparable to that of any gold temple.

But it shouldn't be that simple here, maybe it's not strange that there are no statues of goddesses, there are no frescoes because there are no walls, but there's nothing on the floor that has anything to do with Nephthys, it's really impossible to explain.

"I'm sorry......" the countess shook her head in disappointment, "there is no sign of divine power here, and those three spells are probably useless." ”

"This is not the end. ”

Helen knew what Magellan was talking about.

This is not the end, it is not a place for believers to worship the goddess, so there must be a way to open the way for priests to perform sacrifices in a real temple.

"But there's no clue here. ”

"Perhaps," Magellan ...... his hand brushing the silver moon on the ground, "it's not just the power of the goddess that can sustain magic." ”

The countess shook her head: "Which spell is it?"

"I don't know. ”

The countess opened her arms, felt the invisible power that existed somewhere, and then recited the incantation.

"Sam Ahhoku ......"

Nothing happened, and the moonlight filtered through the deep lake waters, staining the blue-gray of the sky and silently spilling onto the ground.

"Joule in ......"

The waves on the surface of the lake are like clouds in the night sky, dimming the moonlight as they drift by, and then disappear into a corner of the dark sky.

"Ellut ......"

The countess's spell did not change anything, nothing happened, for better or for worse.

Magellan knelt on one knee and looked down at the silver that had been cast into the moon phase, as if remembering something.

"In the legend here, the goddess's clothes were woven with moonlight and silver thread, and the most important part of that dress was the veil, and every month, Horus would chase after the goddess, pull off the veil, and then the goddess would bring it back, which is the origin of the change of the moon's phases. ”

"Do you think these silver motifs are the so-called veils of the goddess?"

"Now the question is how to unravel it. Magellan smiled.

"Ancient Emanchet had very little research on magical alloys, most of their magic came from the power of the gods, and they rarely made alloys, and here it was clearly pure silver. ”

"Such sterling silver is rare. ”

Magellan stood on top of a crescent moon, glanced up, and then smiled at the countess, "Come and see." ”

"This ......," the countess stood there, looking up at it, "incredible......

It was a full moon night, but in the countess's eyes, the moon in the sky was a silver hook.

"I didn't feel any power at all......"

"Here. ”

Magellan walked over the full moon and glanced up.

"That's ......"

When the countess stood on top of the full moon and looked up, she saw a great goddess.

Nephthys spread her pure white wings, the full moon glowed silver behind her head, and the goddess was covered in silver ornaments, inlaid with turquoise and obsidian. Through the lake, the goddess seems to be in the distant sky, and her tall body envelops the earth, which is awe-inspiring.

"Nephthys ......"

"What an impressive deity. ”

"But this shouldn't be the altar of the goddess......"

"You can try reciting mantras there, I think you can feel the power now. ”
