Chapter 228: Next Move, Nameless City!
The folding mirror, which was closing its eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened its eyes from the spider's field of vision, because in a distant and lonely place, there was a brief signal.
"Ah, someone finally found out."
A smile of relief appeared on the face of the folding mirror, and the trembling points he spent were finally not wasted, and it was time to blossom and bear fruit.
As for the person who found that place, the folding mirror can probably guess it.
Because that place is inaccessible, except for the situation that happens to be encountered, only that person can find that place under his own guidance.
Folding Mirror discovered a long time ago that the contents of the Necronomicon can actually be modified.
That's right, the contents of the Necronomicon are not set in stone and can be modified according to the wishes of the folding mirror.
When the folding mirror discovers this, it also realizes that the Necronomicon can not only cause shiver by reading it, but also by guiding the reader.
So on the inside of the title page at the end of the second Necronomicon, the folding mirror is accompanied by a scribbled map, marked with a location and a simple note.
Although there is no clear place name on the map, it is still possible to identify the geographical features by allowing those who study the map to discover exactly where it is.
Of course, it's not enough to have a treasure map, there must be a treasure.
Therefore, the folding mirror set up a terrain-like indescribable object in the treasure area.
Nameless City: An unnamed city built by an Nameless Clan in ancient times, it is now in ruins, but it still lives up to its name as a "cursed city".
The value of this unspeakable thing is not high, only 70,000 shivering value, and it is certainly not suitable as a treasure map treasure.
So in this nameless city, the folding mirror has an even more amazing arrangement, waiting for the treasure hunter to excavate.
...
The moment Orochimaru arrived, Orochimaru knew that this was the cursed city mentioned on the title page of the Necronomicon.
Looking at this mystery creeping on the yellow sand from afar, it looks like a small half of a corpse crawling out of a humble mausoleum.
Although there are a large number of other ruins in the Demon Desert of the Land of Wind, Orochimaru can confirm at a glance the antiquity of the ruins of the city in front of him.
It's old enough to call itself the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the other ruins.
It may have even been there when the river next to it, which had dried up and left only a bunker, was still alive.
It has experienced historical prosperity and was eventually eroded by wind and sand towards irreversible decay.
But in any case, the secret is worth exploring.
Orochimaru and another bespectacled traveler sat down near the entrance to the Nameless City to find a shelter from the scorching sun and sand.
"Orochimaru-sama, is this city really cursed as the legend says?" The bespectacled traveler across from Orochimaru asked.
"Pocket, sometimes human rationality is really a burden, and when it comes to thinking about individual issues, it is impossible to maintain a completely rational mind."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to find the real answer."
"Or preconceived intellect can completely destroy your brain the moment you touch the answer."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Orochimaru opened the Necronomicon in his hand, which was full of infinite horror cults.
Yakushi Dou quietly looked at the cult book called the Book of Death in Orochimaru's hand, and there was a slight curiosity and longing in his eyes.
After more than four years under Orochimaru, Yakushidou only learned about the existence of this book after Orochimaru defected from the Xiao Organization a few days ago.
Orochimaru told Yakushidou that if you don't have enough consciousness to open this book, which can be called a cult book, otherwise the mysterious knowledge and strange theories in it will instantly crush the brains of ordinary people.
None of the Medicine Masters had ever touched the Book of Necronomicon, not even the red cover on it.
In fact, Orochimaru usually treats the Necronomicon as a treasure, and it is impossible for anyone else to touch it.
However, Orochimaru would occasionally read out part of the Necronomicon for Yakushi to hear, which could be regarded as satisfying some of Dou's little curiosities.
"The eternal sleep is not the dead, but in the mysteries of eternity, even death itself will pass away."
Orochimaru took a deep breath and narrated this heavy text.
"These are the verses that Abdullah Al-Hassad, the author of the Book of the Necromy, recited when he dreamed of this place during the night."
"Isn't it puzzling?"
"It's incomprehensible, after all, Abdullah himself doesn't want to mark the detailed address of this place in the main part of the text."
"Abdullah is a complete lunatic, there's no doubt about it."
"But what is hidden in a place that even madmen fear?"
"Ou is a mole ant..."
Looking at Orochimaru's intoxicated expression, Yakushi Dou quietly stared at the Book of Necromancy.
Judging from the gilded font on the cover and the quality of the book's paper, the Necronomicon seems to be a modern product, and the author should also be a modern person.
But the author has a long and strange name and an unknown phrase...
Orochimaru-sama won't be deceived by anyone, right?
Although Yakushi Dou was slightly skeptical, he still didn't dare to say the doubt in his heart, because the current Orochimaru was already completely fascinated by this book of necromancy.
...
Orochimaru and Yakushidou waited quietly for hours in the dark night of the barren desert, until the stars faded and the eastern sky turned grayish, and then the gray gradually transformed into a rosy glow with gold edges.
At this time, the two knew that the dawn had finally come.
Orochimaru immediately packed his bags and left the foothold, and Yakushi hurriedly followed.
When standing at the entrance to the Nameless City, Orochimaru's joy intensified.
This joy and sense of accomplishment in the treasure hunt translates into subtle tremors, manifested in Orochimaru's toe straddling the camel's back and his shoulders in thick clothing.
Although it is a city, it has become about the size of other ruins in the Demon Desert after years and the relentless erosion of the desert.
Standing in front of this nameless city now, it is not easy to get a glimpse of the city's past prosperity.
At the entrance to the city, the medicine man, riding on the back of a camel, took advantage of his height and scanned everything around him.
Strangely, Yakushidou did not find any inscriptions or carvings about the city's builders.
And looking closely at the ground, Yakushidou found that the city was much larger than the ruins revealed.
On the yellow sand on the ground, Yakushidou can faintly see the imprint of the building hidden under the yellow sand.
It is something similar to a wall foundation or foundation, and although the wall or building has been completely weathered, these low places have been preserved because they have been buried by the wind and sand.
If you count the extent of these foundations, you can probably imagine how majestic this place used to be.
There may be no less civilization here than in Sand Hidden Village!
Even the location where Orochimaru and Yakushidou are located now is not the so-called entrance to the city, it is just an arched megalithic pillar in the city.
...
Cruising around the city on a camel, Orochimaru and Yakushidou found nothing particularly worth exploring, and the nameless city was surrounded by ruined walls that had been eroded by wind and sand.
But only in the middle of the city, it looks like a temple made of huge stones.
At the dark and deep entrance of the temple, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, causing the medicine master to shiver.
This made Yao Shidou's heart tremble a little, in this hot desert, why could it be so cold.
But before Yakushidou could think about it, Orochimaru had already driven the camel towards the entrance of the temple.
"Let's go inside."
"Pocket..."
