Chapter 9: The Unknown Road Ahead

Two things can be judged from the travelogue of Arouca. The pen "Fun" is www.biquge.info first, this Michael Kinson is a complete megalomaniac, but he is very good at working hard. Otherwise, even if the Red Sect disciples couldn't even eat back then, and their bodies were weak and weak, they wouldn't have been killed by one person. Second, the person in charge of recording these two travelogues must have been dissatisfied with the Red Sect, otherwise the last paragraph of the travelogue would have been deleted......

People other than Arouca can naturally only understand the deciphered part. And this part happens to be not nutritious, mainly mentioning that the sun god once appeared here, and the location of the ruins, etc., as for whether it is true or not, no one knows. Aluka didn't care if they could understand it, and pointed directly to the underlined passage: My words are like a rock, and the stars will never fade. Remembering that the heart can become benevolent, and engrave the world can open the way.

This most important passage could not have been translated by scholars hired by the Rhine royal family. Because it's the equivalent of encountering an ancient book in an ancient book that is older than this one, and they don't even know that it's another language. The adventurer Michael just copied this sentence in his travelogue and did not explain it.

Pointing to this passage, Aluca said: "I think this may be a hint to open the way forward, it is underlined, and it is obviously important." ”

But we don't know what that means. "Looking at the shape of these characters, there are some differences from other ancient characters, maybe this is not a text, but some kind of symbol." Legend has it that in ancient times, magicians would use various symbols to draw magic arrays, thus wielding magic that was more powerful than they could be. Maybe we can try to carve these words into the ground and see what happens. ”

Hearing these words, Aruka almost applauded Henry's national teacher, but he didn't expect the national teacher to be so witty. He really couldn't think of a way to guide everyone to do this, and judging from the current situation, it must be that there was a glowing moss on both sides of the road for some reason, which was covered by the traces of the Nosse language. It was impossible for Aluka to say without any grounds: let's scrape off the only moss that could illuminate and see what happens!

Except for the eccentric Aluca, those who work as mercenaries are all temperamental, that is, the kind of rough people who take off their pants and never waste time doing foreplay. After hearing the suggestion of the national teacher, Xinong immediately volunteered to draw his long sword and carve it on the ground. Jofa and Trehack were also in good spirits, and the hope they got after despair was always the most tempting.

Although Xinon is handsome, he may not have artistic cells if he is handsome, and the Enoch language he drew with the tip of his sword is ugly, but fortunately there is no mistake in writing. Know that this is not the magic symbol they imagined, and a bend and a hook may make these words take on other meanings.

After the whole sentence was engraved on the ground, there was indeed a change in the tunnel, and the degree of the change was more than Arouca and the others imagined. I saw that the darkness on both sides of the passage suddenly creeped up, and then rushed towards the middle, as if the lights of the train cars were turned off one after another, and soon they fell into a situation where they could not see their fingers, as if their eyes were blindfolded. A sentence suddenly flashed in Aluca's mind at this time - he was overwhelmed by the water and did not know what to do.

Kindness...... He was already stunned by his endless desire to complain.

"Great Sun God, please bless us in our mission to save the Rhine Kingdom. In the darkness, only the gasps of a few people and the prayers of Henry's national teacher could be heard. Because they all believed that this was an abnormality caused by the divine power of the sun god, no one panicked. Even the rebellious uncle who is ungodly and rebellious has a deep fear and trust for the sun god in his heart. Each of them was convinced that the sun god would not harm his own people. Centuries of faith are not so easy to dissolve.

Only Aluka doesn't believe in the sun god, if he wants to choose, it is better to believe in Yuqing Purple Void Gao Shangyuan Emperor Taishang Daojun, and he doesn't know where to go higher than the sun god when he hears the name, he is just a little surprised that the puzzle of this underground tunnel is over. Aren't the dungeon puzzles in Western magic one after another......

But he knew that the puzzle wasn't that simple. First of all, someone must recognize the Nossi language, and from the account of the adventurer Michael, a few people knew each other even hundreds of years ago. Then you have to be able to understand that mysterious passage and engrave it in the tunnel. It's easy to do doesn't mean it's easy to think about, it's like the story of Columbus's eggs, everyone thinks I can do it after seeing it. This mentality is as stupid as solving a math problem after reading the answer, and thinking that you are smart.

The darkness lasted for about two or three breaths, and the group felt the tunnel shake. The amplitude of the tremors changed from small to large, at first only slightly shaking, like the bumps of a horse-drawn carriage walking on a mountain road, and then the mountain shook on the spot, as if standing on an erupting volcano. Unable to see the others, Aluka struggled to stabilize herself, crouched on the ground with one hand, and crawled towards the wall. And then...... He found that he couldn't touch the wall even after a dozen steps away.

The tunnel itself is not wide, and it can accommodate two carriages in parallel. So there is only one explanation for this, and that is that the walls are gone. Thinking of this, Aluka immediately understood why the place was in darkness. The walls of the tunnel were gone, and the fluorescent moss that covered the walls was gone, and that was the only source of light underground.

"Teacher, Master Guoshi, are you all right?" said Aluca, who heard Sinon screaming in the darkness.

Cui Hak's voice immediately rang out: "The earthquake is still intensifying! Lao Tzu lie on the ground and hold your head in your hands, otherwise you may fall down and break your stupid head!"

Hearing this, Aluka immediately prepared to lean down, he knew that he was only a half-mercenary, and he should trust the teacher's judgment at this moment. But he was still a step too late, and the ground shook violently, as if a giant dragon was stretching and rolling under the ground, and Aluka was violently swept away, and then fell heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness in an instant.

——

"Woo......"

I don't know how long it took, but Aluka finally came to her senses, only to feel a splitting headache, and every bone in her flesh was wailing and screaming. A dim dim light appeared in his dim vision, a light that made people feel a hint of warmth, but there was no sense of reality, as if he was not really in it, but looking at an old faded photograph.

"Brother, are you awake?"

Sinon's voice came from the side, and Aluca felt like she was being helped up, and her headache eased a little. He struggled to stand up straight, looking around. He found himself standing in a narrow hallway less than ten meters long, lit by a chandelier overhead, and paved with smooth but broken rectangular marble tiles underfoot. The walls on either side of the corridor are hung with eerie oil paintings, which are neither the portraits popular on the continent of St. Ainos, nor the landscapes favored by some niche painters, but more like the abstract paintings that Aluca has seen on Earth. The painting is full of chaotic patches of color, as if it were just a child carrying a brush and dipping it in paint.

"Uh, are we in hell?" said Aluca, enduring the pain.

"If hell is like this, Lao Tzu really wants to live for a few days. Trihak leaned against the wall and sneered, he didn't look hurt, "You guys and Old Man Henry have all fainted, and I didn't faint, but I don't know what happened." When the darkness in the passage receded, we were in this hallway, but I didn't feel the slightest sign of movement...... I hate to admit it, but probably only gods can do that. ”

Aluka asked, "I think it could be a teleportation array left by a magician, who knows how amazing magic is?"

"There's a door at the end," Trehack replied, "but everyone thinks it's better to wait until you wake up to open it, and thank you for having a group of benevolent companions." ”

"Then let's move on, this is obviously the residence of the great sun god. Seeing that the task was about to be successfully completed, Xinong's emotions became more and more high. Henry was the same, and even knelt on the ground and prayed.

The group walked a few steps to the only door in the hallway. This door is similar to the single wooden door common in aristocratic mansions, with a symmetrical classical pattern carved on the surface, and a round handle on the door. Strangely, they could see a dazzling white light flowing out of the crack in the door. This image strengthened their belief that this was the residence of the sun god.

Still cautious, he drew his sword and asked everyone for permission before slowly twisting the handle and opening the wooden door.

In an instant, the icy and turbulent white light engulfed everyone like a flood. This light has no temperature, but it makes everyone feel boundless cold, as if everything from skin to flesh and blood to bones to soul has been frozen into ice. And the scenery that unfolded in front of them surprised them even more.

Behind the door, there is an infinite space. White light fills every corner, there is no sky, no earth, not even the horizon. After Aluka stepped out of the door with the others, she felt a hard substance under her feet, and when she looked down, she found that there was still a white light under her feet, as if floating in the air.

"Damn it......" Trehack's stunned voice sounded, "the door is gone." ”

Several people were startled, and at the same time looked back, and found that the wooden door when they came in had indeed disappeared, and there was only boundless light behind them. Not only can you not distinguish between southeast and northwest, but you can't even judge up and down, left and right. A strange and terrifying feeling hit everyone's heart, which was far from the Sun God Residence they imagined. The sun god symbolizes warmth, violence, destruction and rebirth, but there is only death and cold.

As they were at a loss, an old but powerful voice rang out.

"Strange, can you tell the old man how you got here?"
