Chapter 100: A Strange Holy City
"Target...... Experimental Base No. 7 ......"
Bai Huang still remembered the vague voice that appeared in his head before the teleportation, Shirley said that this was the Kingdom of God, and the mysterious shield called this the seventh experimental base, but the feeling of depression here was very similar to that of the Nibelungen.

Bai Huang felt that it was useless for him to guess here, he stared at the shield in his hand in the hope that it would activate again and send them back to the Akalin Continent, but this time the striped circuit pattern on the shield was motionless, and he tried to knock and knock but there was no response.
Seeing this, Shirley also started to make a fool of himself, and after a while, one person and one skeleton had no temper at all with this broken brand that was not gold or wood, so she decided to venture into the holy city in front of her, where the legendary god of war lived.
The so-called "Never-Falling" Hoyred is now full of devastation, full of broken walls, and the myth of invincibility has been nakedly broken, Bai Huang does not have much emotion about this, this is because he is an "outsider" after all, although Christina's "Gift of the Dead" has given him a more or less general understanding of the Akalin Continent, but he has still not been able to fully integrate into this world, especially the history and culture of the Akalin Continent.
The biggest difference is probably "mythology", although there are many religions in the original world of Baihuang, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and so on and on, but for most atheists who have experienced the impact of the information age, the so-called myth is nothing more than a product of the rule of the age of ignorance, although in modern times some of its nature has had to change with it, and has become a relatively pure and fragmented belief, but if someone tells you with absolute certainty that God really exists, then most people will still scoff at it and think it is nonsense from the bottom of their hearts.
However, in the Akalin Continent, the gods are real, not to mention some well-preserved holy relics of the Church and places of divine presence in various places, even the history throughout the Akalin Continent is also full of myths and miracles that are truly recorded, and before the Twilight Age, there is no doubt that the gods shine.
All the people sacrificed, the heart prayed and prayed, and there was a god descending from heaven to bless all souls. Hunters worship Urel, the god of bows and hunting, farmers worship Sif, the goddess of land and harvest, and valiant warriors are passionate about the best sacrifices to Tyr, the god of war.
No matter what era, struggle, battle and even war are always the main theme, even in that mythological era, as the god of war, Tyr is also one of the gods with the most believers, and "Høyred who never falls" is the holy place in the hearts of all warriors, they all fight bloodily to the death in order to be able to offer the most wonderful battle to win the favor of the god of war, and after death to be able to enter Hoyred's Valhalla is the greatest glory.
Bai Huang can imagine how crazy that era was from Shirley's introduction to the mythological era, taking war as food, war as fun, and war as pride, Bai Huang admires those seekers who "can die at the end of the day", but if everyone is crazy, then it is undoubtedly a pathology. And Shirley's answer also confirmed his guess, there was indeed a period of chaos in history that got out of control because of the fanaticism of faith, a large number of fanatical believers fought each other, the mainland holy war was everywhere, and the kingdom and religion attacked each other so that the later Ragnarok appeared.
"I'm interested in that part of the history of the Twilight Period, especially the causes of Ragnarok. Shirley took a history lesson with Bai Huang with great interest, perhaps because she often searched for treasures by herself, and finally someone ...... Well, it's a skeleton who is willing to be an audience, and she can't stop talking as soon as her belly full of words opens.
"I've been to big libraries in various places, I've read many files, and I've discussed with some white-bearded old men, and although it's still full of mysteries, I've still restored some truths hidden in the fog of history, and although I've been scolded, there are still people who support my point of view. ”
Shirley said this, thinking back to the codex that seemed to be the master of theology and history from a hundred years ago, Martin Eisleben, the old blood-stained and broken codex with only two or three pages left, which could no longer be measured by "book", but it was the few records that made her more and more sure of her guess.
"The cause of Ragnarok is likely to be related to the fall of Tyr, the god of war!"
And there is no doubt that the Holy City, where the god of war lives, must hide some clues.
The curiosity of cats is on the same level as that of huskies, and Shirley's curiosity is stronger than that of cats, and the same Bai Huang can't stop it, and when such a combination walks through this ancient and mysterious holy city, the result is already doomed.
The first thing Shirley did was to try to knock off the mutilated skull of the Hell Demon Dragon King on the city gate, which she called to protect precious historical relics, but when she found that the skull had completely decayed, she immediately lost interest, and Bai Huang wanted to roll his eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Along the tall and thick city walls, Bai Huang and Shirley found the entrance to the Weiling Tower, and followed the stone steps that were still intact spiraling upwards, and climbed to the top of the tower with a single skeleton that could see almost half of the Holy City.
Looking down from a high place, the collapsed buildings, broken statues, roads full of huge cracks, and scorched stone monuments in the dim dim light are all in view, Shirley once again felt a wordless shock, this is the holy city with countless heroic spirits guarding the continent and being called "the never-falling Hoyred", but now it is full of devastation, almost a ruin, what kind of force can invade the kingdom of the gods, destroy the city and kill the gods!
It must be other gods, in addition to Shirley, she has no other ideas, and those who can kill gods must also be gods, there is no doubt about it, after all, even those peerless powerhouses in history whose combat power is comparable to that of gods have not spread rumors of killing gods. Shirley took a deep breath to suppress the emotion in her heart, and didn't think much about it, because she subconsciously felt that thinking too much about it would make her feel extremely uneasy.
Carefully identifying the legendary landmarks, looking at a palace in the distance where only the outline can be faintly seen, if I am not mistaken, it is the home of all indomitable warriors - Valhalla, in front of which is a stone tablet engraved with the name of the Heroic Spirit, and their first stop is there.
Just as Shirley was charting her course, Bai Huang's attention was elsewhere, and he looked at the remains of the Holy City, which were covered with huge scars and resembled the corpse of a giant beast, and felt a trace of uneasiness and doubt.
There is no doubt that Hoyred had experienced a terrible war, but there was nothing left but the wreckage of this holy city, no people, no corpses, not even weapons and armor, and it was too complete for a ruined city that was almost in ruins.
For some reason, Bai Huang always felt that this so-called holy city was full of weirdness.
