Chapter 7: Mysterious Knowledge

The temple was as silent as a tomb. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the ancient Emunkai people believed, the power of the underworld is strong and irresistible, and together with the sun, it controls the fate of the entire universe.

But in this place infinitely close to the underworld, humanity does not feel greatness from that power, but only terror.

Murky Nile water flows through the canal, and the monotonous sound of water echoes through the sealed space.

"Maybe we need the sun. ”

"But that time has passed. ”

Magellan knew that in many temples, the sun shines into the darkness only once a year to add luster to the gods.

He looked up at the statue of the goddess and searched for a stunningly large gem. Then he found it, and it was a diamond in the middle of the goddess's golden tiara, right on Isis's forehead, hidden in the darkness, but when the perspective moved, the dim change of light was still dazzling.

"How often do the followers of Isis perform sacrifices?"

"Every day the sun shines on the feet of the goddess, every year the sun shines on the eyes of the goddess, and every fifty years the sacred ring appears...... There are also legends...... On the day of the end of the universe, the complete Knot of Isis appears. ”

"It's time to leave. ”

The countess gave Magellan a surprised look, but the surprise disappeared.

"You ......"

"Meow ......"

Helen was interrupted by the sudden cry of the black cat.

The gloomy temple suddenly lit up.

The sun is reversed, and in this small world, light and shadow are reversed, like time going backwards.

Then a ray of sunlight shone on the goddess's forehead.

The diamond was brilliant and radiant, like a sun, shining its rays in all directions. It was on the statue of the goddess that the Knot of Isis emerged.

It was two cobras intertwined with each other, and the bright snakes had deep shadows hidden in their bodies.

"It's ......"

The black cat jumped on the statue's feet and looked up at the two of them ostentatiously.

"Meow ......"

The tall idol is dissipating.

The earthy yellow rock slowly disappeared, replaced by a tall, dark-skinned goddess.

She was covered in ornate gold jewelry, inlaid with obsidian, and held a tall golden staff with the Knot of Isis at the head.

The goddess lowered her head and looked down at two mortals and a kitten.

"Butters ......"

As soon as the word was spoken, the goddess collapsed, and golden spots of light remained in the air, but the goddess was no longer there.

A heavy object landed on the stone floor.

It was the head of a baboon, its fiery red face was full of deep wrinkles, its blue eyes were empty, its dark brown hair was messy, and there was a terrible wound on its neck, and golden blood spread silently on the stone slabs.

The kitten gently jumped on top of the baboon's head and raised its little face at the two of them.

"Meow ......"

The stone statue of the goddess has disappeared, and the temple has been dimmed.

"Bartes?"

"Meow!"

The countess put her hand in front of the kitten, "Then I'll call you Batters." ”

Magellan took a huge chest of gold from behind his back and put the baboon's head inside.

"Miss Butters is not in our plans. ”

"Yes. ”

Magellan nodded, and jumped onto the platform left behind by the idol's disappearance. He knew that the countess understood the meaning of that sentence.

That's enough.

"Not here. ”

They had to get out of here, but there seemed to be no way out in the temple.

"In the text of the real name of the goddess Isis, there is no word for a way out. The countess looked up at the enclosed temple and said the word that stood for the door: "Irachion." ”

Her voice echoed through the dark space, but the door did not appear.

Helen shook her head: "There are no other words in the real name text that I know that have anything to do with the way out." ”

"The power of the goddess is extremely weakened," Magellan said to the countess, "perhaps everything she left behind is gone." ”

"Is that good news?"

Magellan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know how far it is from the ground, but if it's in the desert......"

"You think this is a desert?"

"There's too much dust in the middle of the pillar of light, and there's living water in the temple, and it's relatively isolated from the outside world, unless it's really dry......"

"This is in the great library of the great ancient wonder, Alexandria. ”

The countess seemed to be sure of this, and she walked to a place, then stopped.

"Look there, that corner. ”

Magellan walked up to the countess and let out an exclamation.

"So ......"

It was the other end of the complex route through which the sunlight traveled every day, and Magellan's left eye was now on the path of the sunlight as it entered the temple every day, and the image reflected on his retina was an unforgettable scene.

In the Arafan hall, huge giants walked, each roll of parchment as huge as a lighthouse, and Magellan watching it all like a speck of dust.

"We ......"

"It's been made smaller. ”

Magellan opened his mouth to prove what a ridiculous idea this was with theories that he knew were beyond the whole world, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

"Like you said, it's very dry and there have been several tragedies in this library throughout history, and each fire has swept away all the precious documents in a very short period of time...... It's just too dry here. ”

"So, how are we going to get out of here?"

"Meow ......"

The black cat barked on the countess's shoulder, not knowing if it was an illusion, and Magellan heard the feeling of showing off and being coquettish.

The kitten jumped to the ground and ran to the base of the idol.

Then the temple lit up.

It was a dazzling glow of gold, like a raging flood that filled the temple in an instant.

"Meow!"

The black cat jumped down the stairs that appeared at its feet, turned back to Magellan, who was still and let out a defiant cry.

"Let's go. ”

Magellan and the countess followed the black cat down the stairs, and in a square room, they saw the source of the golden light.

It was an ornate ball of pure gold, glowing from the inside out, with intricate orbits and star positions carved on the surface of the massive orb, as well as intricate writing of her real name, and Magellan's expected portrait of the goddess Isis.

"What is this?"

The countess had seen all the materials Magellan had seen, but he did not remember mentioning this impressive device in them.

"The sun of the goddess Isis. ”

Magellan laughed self-deprecatingly, he had seen the information on the device, but had forgotten it.

"So, what can this device, which represents the true meaning of the goddess's power from the supreme sun, do?"

"Look. ”

The black cat walked into the golden sun, and the ball was like a ball of golden mercury.
