Chapter 104: Pandora's Box (2)
After reading the ancient elven text in the book, the moon god priest Imantir explained the origin of this thing to Niu with a serious face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not a box, it's a box with a unique shape, Pandora's box.
In the records of this big book, there are even many extinct ancient races that call it Pandora's box, because no one knows whether opening this box will bring good luck or endless disasters to those who open it.
The records in the big book are all legendary stories, because the first time this box appeared was in ancient times, when the whole world was ruled by the ancient gods, and even the elf who wrote this book of records, the moon god Elucia, whom he believed, had just ignited the divine fire and officially became a god.
According to the recorded story, the gods of ancient times often directly incarnated as a terrestrial race that lived like wild beasts at that time, walking on land, and the kind fire god Prometheus stole fire from the kingdom of gods in the sky in order to help the tribes.
With this spark, the various races began to multiply rapidly, and created their own splendid civilizations, until various powerful heroes appeared in each race, successfully ignited the divine fire and officially became gods, and these new gods challenged the ancient gods.
The new gods, infused with the power of faith, eventually won, and the ancient gods worked together to create a perfect elven woman, Pandora, before being destroyed, and sent her to the human world to take revenge, thus provoking the previous infighting between the major races and starting a never-ending war.
Countless intelligent races that existed in ancient times were wiped out in the war, and their gods fell into a deep sleep because they lost the source of faith, and the last extinguished divine fire dissipated in the long river of time.
In the end, only one-tenth of the scale remained, that is, the dozens of intelligent races on the continent at present, and with the intervention of their respective gods, the remaining races united to stop the war and kill Pandora, the source of all this.
When Pandora died, her body was reduced to ashes, and her core, made by the power of the ancient gods, became a strange box that could not be destroyed no matter how hard the tribes of the time tried.
I don't know when it began, the legend of this box began to circulate on the mainland, and the legend said that as long as you open this box, you can get the full power of the ancient gods, so countless careerists began to fight for this box.
At the end of the story, it is recorded that this box was opened twice, the first time a dwarf Muradin Copperbeard, after the original ordinary dwarven boy opened the box, he established a huge dwarven empire, but while obtaining the power of the ancient gods, he was also spurned by the Titan gods believed by the dwarves, and after the death of Muradin, the empire quickly declined.
The second time an unknown forest troll opened the box, the only result was that the rift in time and space guarded by the Highland Elf tribe was opened from that time.
So in some extreme records, this box is called the source of calamity, claiming that if it is opened, it will bring endless calamity to the world.
Just like saying the Book of Heaven, the Moon God Priest Imantir spoke for a long time before closing the big book in his hand, and finally said to the stupid cow: "This book of ancient legends handed down from the Elven Empire, the stories recorded in it are the only records I can find in this box, after all, the time is too long, as for how much credibility there is, you have to know that this is a legendary story tens of thousands of years ago......"
At this point, the Luna priest paused, and gave Niu Dali a slightly embarrassed smile.
"It's especially the ancient gods, this god and that god are very mysterious, and the legend is that they are all things that trick children into sleeping. Niu Dali casually played with this so-called Pandora's box, and asked casually: "How can this box be opened?" ”
Imantir pointed to the strange lines on the outside of Pandora's box and said, "If you smear it here with blood, this box will open automatically, but I advise you not to try to open this box, my lord, in case the legendary thing is true?"
Under Imantir's gaze, Niu vigorously put away the box, got up and walked out of the temple.
It was another quiet night, and the little fox Helena, after pandering to the old cow, finally fell asleep in sweat, but Niu Dali did not feel sleepy, and casually put on a robe and walked to the balcony outside the bedroom.
There happened to be a group of guards under the leadership of the officer, patrolling downstairs, and saw the little dwarf lord on the balcony, and after saluting excitedly, he began to continue patrolling, but the steps that were not heavy were put down even more.
As soon as his mind moved, Pandora's box appeared in Niu Dali's hand, and there seemed to be a voice in the power that kept urging the old cow to open the box, and he would get great help after opening it, remembering the almost unfulfillable oath, Niu Dali put the index finger of his right hand to his mouth.
The cow vigorously bit the tip of the index finger of his right hand, squeezed out the blood and smeared it on the lines on the box, and after spending more than a dozen drops of blood, the old cow smeared all the lines with his own blood.
Gently placing the box on the ground, Niu Dali's muscles tensed up all over his body, ready to attack or flee at any time, and then stared at Pandora's box on the ground.
There was no earth-shattering movement at all, a crisp click sounded in the silent night, and then the box that Niu Dali had not been able to open before automatically opened in any way.
By the bright moonlight in the sky, the ox poked his head vigorously to look inside Pandora's box, and it turned out that the legendary ox forked to the extreme, and after opening it, it would either dominate the continent or destroy the world, and there was only one bronze seed the size of a pigeon's egg.
Yes, there is an unknown seed inside, although it is much larger than the seed of ordinary crops, and Niu Dali can't recognize what kind of seed it is, but Lao Niu is completely sure that this is definitely a seed, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
After waiting for a few minutes, the seed had been lying quietly in the box, and it had not hatched into a little monster that wanted to destroy the world, so Niu Dali carefully twisted the seed with two fingers.
The bronze-colored seed tentacles were slippery and cold, and Niu Dali's fingers had just touched it, and an intermittent message from this seed came to Lao Niu's mind, and there was only one sentence repeatedly passed in this message: "Quickly bury me in the soil, bury me in the soil......"
