The twenty-third Altar of the Sun
This land, known as the Devil's Horn, occupies only one-twentieth of the Ice Continent at most, but due to the Berlusconi Mountains, it has been isolated from the rest of the world for eternity, resulting in a completely different geographical appearance and species from the Ice Continent.
Poor Li Ke Li, after the rise of Adi Tan, was forgotten by his master for a while. It wasn't until a topic about the heritage of the Sun Elf tribe came to an end that the boy remembered this loyal servant.
Fortunately, the fainting Li Keli did not have the concept of the passage of time in his mind, and because of this, his loyalty dropped to 99%. To Adi's surprise, however, Hannibal didn't seem to care much about the secrecy of the altar. Seeing that Adi woke up Li Keli, he offered to take the two to the altar to rest.
The effectiveness of the Radiance Guardian lasts for about an hour, and this typical magical defense-type defensive magic really has no physical defense ability at all. Therefore, Adi could easily splash the water in the water bladder handed by Hannibal on Li Keli's face.
The former captain of the Royal Guard was still a little confused when he woke up, but his loyalty to Adi kept him a precious reticence. Let Adi's various lies have no chance to be exposed.
Since Hannibal seemed to have no intention of avoiding this topic, Adi naturally asked, "Isn't the altar of the elves supposed to be very secret, so that others don't know about it?
Hannibal smiled: "Although this altar is a forbidden place for our Sun Elf clan, it is also a self-wise, indestructible artifact, and it usually does not need anyone to guard it at all. Our elves can't reproduce, and new sun elves are born only on the altar of the sun, so every fifty years of birth, the clan will send out the guardians of the altar, the purpose is only to protect the newborn elves and guide these children home. I just thought you were Kun Demon, so I was a little nervous. ”
"Oh! This altar is so magical, it's an artifact?"
Adi exclaimed in surprise: "It seems that the record in the Moonlight Book is true, I thought it was ......" Suddenly, the boy thought of talking about this issue, maybe it was rude, so he quickly stopped talking. Li Keli, the former captain of the Royal Guard, had already returned his naturalist attainments to the stern tutors of his student days, and he had not even heard of the book "The Book of Moonlight", so he could only watch in amazement at the high-minded talk of Adi and Hannibal.
However, the artifact has never been associated with the gods, and the news of an artifact is enough to make the entire continent set off turbulent waves, Li Keli was shocked beyond measure, and at the same time very admired, although his little master Adi expressed surprise, but quickly regained his calm cultivation.
Hannibal smiled elegantly and said, "The Book of Moonlight was written two thousand years ago, and I didn't expect it to be circulated outside, but there are many fallacies on it." Our Sun Elf tribe was born on the altar, but the Moonlight Elf was born from the Great Moon Lake, and the Forest Elf was born from the ancient wood that whispered the forest for more than a thousand years......" Hannibal said here, his tone paused slightly, and Adi immediately understood what he didn't want to say. The other two of the five elven clans, devoted to darkness and slaughter, have a deep hatred for the self-proclaimed elves, and it is not surprising that Hannibal does not want to mention them. The clever boy immediately changed the subject and talked about an interesting question about some kind of herb that was a specialty of the elves.
The three of them chatted and walked, and after a few turns under the leadership of Hannibal, they saw the magnificent altar in the valley surrounded by seven or eight small peaks. The altar is two hundred meters high, most of it buried deep in the mountain, presenting a perfect pyramidal structure, and at the very top of the altar is a wide boxy platform, more than thirty steps long and wide. The top of the altar is so wide that you can see how huge the base is.
Hannibal pointed to the altar and said, "For some unknown reason, this altar moves eastward every year, and at the earliest time, it should have been buried in the place where you appeared, with only a very small part of the ground exposed. You'd better not try to get inside this altar, for we've had curious people break in, but none of them have ever been able to get out of it. ”
Adirona replied, "I understand!" However, Hannibal's explanation suddenly made him think of a possibility, the teleportation array of the third layer of the labyrinth was probably originally intended to transmit them to the top of the Sun Altar, but it was only the continuous movement of this living artifact that would make them fall.
Adi thought back to the map in his mind, and on this level, in addition to the general shape of the altar, there was also a note. This note uses a much older script that is very different from the other ancient scripts on the map. Originally, Adi couldn't figure out what was written on it, and he looked up a lot of information, and only translated a few vague fragments, but in the northern foothills of the Berlusconi Mountains, on the last layer of the underground labyrinth, he actually met a long-lost elf, which made him vaguely understand a little bit of the key.
"The most fascinating thing about history is that you can discover secrets that no one else has ever discovered. This is also the most real reason why historians tirelessly read and study the vast number of obsolete documents, because when you immerse yourself in the long river of history, you will find wonderful pleasures that no one can experience. Inexplicably, Adi remembered this passage, the famous historian of the Ice Continent, his mentor of continental history, and the only three royal allowance recipients of the Yenching Military Academy.
Looking at the Sun Altar, most of which were buried deep below the ground, Adi mobilized the memories of the Magic Emperor in his brain, and soon found several ancient dictionaries, translating the words on the map that he had memorized a long time ago, word by word. He was unable to translate the tool books that lacked ancient scripts, but now that he has the Magic Data Edition of the Great Royal Library, these words are no longer a problem.
The annotation marked on the map on the fourth layer was revealed by Adi's translation, and it was something like a proverb.
"When the altar of the sun rises in the sky, the ancient gods sealed in the dark world will return! A thousand worlds will be reduced to fire, and the wrath and war of the gods will continue until the next generation, until all things perish. ”
Adi was slightly shocked by this proverb that preached the destruction of the world, but quickly regained his composure, and said in his heart: "I don't know how many years ago this map is the product, and I am afraid that these proverbs have long expired." ”
