Chapter Twenty-Three: Escape
Magellan, who was asleep, saw Gu Kua, who was covered in golden light, holding a spear and slamming a gloomy man in gorgeous clothes, felt very relieved, and smiled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Then he woke up.
The stinging pain coming from his left rib reminded him that this was still underground, and that it had been nothing more than a pipe dream.
Magellan looked at the countess, who was still standing next to him, and thought he hadn't slept long. He got up and looked down into the abyss.
There was only darkness and nothing to see.
"I just had a good dream. ”
"That's really fast, you just woke up from sleep. ”
"It's over?"
"That city has been destroyed. ”
"Ah......" Magellan let out a long sigh, "my wound hurts." ”
"Let's go, go find the Book of the Sun. ”
Magellan walked to his clothes, bent down with great difficulty to pick up the clothes, and put them on the shoulders of the ****.
The two walked together into the darkness behind the small door.
They walked up the stairs in the dark and saw a small room. There was no light in the room, only a small window, and bright lights came in from outside the window, illuminating the small room.
Magellan stood in front of the small window and looked out, and found that it was just a round of rotunda outside, this small window was very hidden, and those standing in the small room could overlook the entire gladiatorial arena, but it was difficult for the people below to notice it. He turned and walked away from the small window, looking around the small room by the light of the fire outside.
There was nothing here except a square table in the middle of the room, which drew attention.
"I think this might be the Book of the Sun. The countess spoke first, her hand brushing over the stone platform with a crisp sound of small stones colliding, and then she drew a thin, square stone rod from the stone platform and handed it to Magellan.
"This is ......" Magellan held up the stone stick the thickness of chopsticks and placed it in front of his eyes, and found that it had the words of the ancient empire on all sides.
"Start building temples, blasphemers, anger the gods......"
Magellan walked to the stone platform and finally saw what it was. The entire stone platform is made of countless upright stone sticks, each with writing on all four sides.
"This is supposed to be the place where the great shaman presides over the sacrifice. ”
This small room is very cleverly designed, when the warriors reach the end and the sacrifice begins, someone standing in the room can see their movements, and the voice of the voice is reflected, as if the person who spoke is standing next to the warriors in the rotunda. The warriors could not find the man standing in the small room anyway, and they were only in awe, thinking that they had seen the gods.
Then the owner of this room is about to come out: the Great Shaman.
The presiding officer of the sacrifice, the noblest of the Empire's sun worshippers.
The master of the Book of the Sun.
"I would say that such a book really doesn't have any merit other than being eye-catching. ”
"At least it didn't fade and turn into a pile of dust. ”
"Well, you must love this book. Magellan tried to make a foolish appearance, but the look he made from time to time as if he had been stabbed in the left rib made the effort a complete failure.
"In order to celebrate our discovery of the Book of the Sun without worrying about who will be able to translate it, I suggest we hurry back to the camp for dinner. ”
"So we're still in time for dinner, haha, I thought we'd been a hundred years underground. ”
Magellan gasped and followed the countess up the steps.
Most of the way was pitch black, and Magellan had to be a dead horse doctor, and took out the relics of the ancient kua, an oil lamp with a strange shape.
It was an oil lamp made of snake bones, and the main body was the skeleton of a small snake with its tail stuck in its mouth. Underneath is a dusty earthenware lampholder with only a shallow amount of polish in it, which looks like it could run out at any moment.
Magellan took out the tinder, lit the tail of the little snake, and was overjoyed to see that the lamp illuminated a small area.
With the light, they went a little faster. But the situation is still not optimistic, Magellan's panting voice is getting louder and louder, and he is almost unable to walk.
"Do you want me to hold you?"
Every time the countess asked, Magellan refused and walked faster.
Just as he was about to hold on and say "yes", they saw a campfire.
and the people by the campfire, the white hats.
Magellan crawled hand and foot to the campfire, sat on the ground, and spread his limbs.
The white hat stood up and saluted the countess, and then asked impatiently, "Did you see the tribal warriors who came in with me?"
Magellan was silent for a moment, then said in a nonchalant tone: "They are dead." ”
The white hat was speechless in shock.
"Sorry, we're underestimating the supernatural power here. ”
"You mean?" the white hat took off the hat from his head and waved it in his hand unconsciously.
"There won't be a second time. ”
"Huh. The white hat let out an indecipherable gasp.
The three of them sat by the campfire and fell silent together.
Eventually, they made it to the top of the ladder.
Along the way, the white hat remained silent, only helping Magellan when he couldn't hold on.
Eventually, they passed through a series of ornate halls and came to a door sealed with dirt.
"If I'm not dizzy, this is the exit. Magellan said weakly, pulling out the sapper shovel from his pocket.
"There is no need," said the countess, drawing a musket, "we must hurry now." ”
Then she aimed at the dirt and pulled the trigger.
Magellan and Whitehat watched dumbfounded as the dirt uncorked the bottle, revealing a standard garden hole.
The smell of grass and trees mingled with a cacophony of shouts, and Magellan shook his head and stepped into the path that the countess had opened with a corkscrew.
He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he was embarrassed to find that he didn't know what to say: "Hmm...... That's a really powerful thing...... It's ...... like stone."
"Expensive magic items, I won't give them to you if you want them, it's an accident, I won't allow a second time. The countess said this in a playful tone, and walked out of the ruins first.
"I swear I never want that, I'm crazy happy to have no next time. ”
Magellan shook his head, straightened up, and saw the chef's two fangs shining beneath the flickering flames of the torches.
"Long time no see. Magellan smiled.
"You don't look like you haven't had dinner yet, which is bad. ”
"I was wrong, and I corrected it. ”
