Chapter 74 Exploration
Standing on the bridge in the air, Richard stood still in the cold wind before he said, "Let's go see the temple." ā
According to the deathbed confession of the three divine envoys, the nest of gods and the temple already existed before Hulan had a written history, and no one knows how far back they were. In the process of the formation of civilization, the Hulan people naturally formed the current power system, which is reasonable and powerful, and has hardly gone through any detours. Later, a certain strong man discovered the secret of the temple and the nest of the gods, and cracked some of the mysterious words in the temple, from which he got the method to become a legend, and Hulan also had a legendary powerhouse.
Since then, the Hulands have built the holy city around the temple, and they have explored the temple and the lair for generations, trying to decipher the mysterious text.
Before the Norlanders entered Hulan, the Hulan knew that there were countless worlds beyond Hulan, and there were many very powerful planes among them, and once these planes were connected to Hulan, it would be the end of Hulan. Therefore, although Hulan is not big, it has been martial in all dynasties, and when Norland first entered Hulan, the advance army was wiped out under carelessness.
The three oracles only knew a fraction of what they knew, and most of their memories were stored in their souls, confined to the exclusive zone of the Soul Shepherd. When needed, Nayu can retrieve their memories. It's just that this process will not only cause boundless pain, but also cause severe damage to the soul, so it won't be used a few times. But the soul can be slowly nourished and repaired in that area, which actually means that if the soul shepherd wishes, the captured soul will never rest in peace. This is also where the soul shepherd is feared.
There are several places of particular importance in the temple. One of them is naturally the control room where the three divine envoys are located. This is the place where the functions of the temple are controlled, but it is a pity that the Hulan people have only cracked a very small number of them. The Light of Divine Punishment at the top of the temple is one of them, the other is the opening and closing of a few mechanisms inside the temple, and that's it.
Richard walked around the control room, looking at every corner, especially the central round platform, and finally determined that the Hulandians really didn't have many ways to decipher the control. The method used by the Three Divine Envoys is to input the special power obtained by cultivating in a special way into the round platform to achieve a very vague control. And Richard had already seen a lot of alchemy machinery handed down from the period of the Dragon-Blood Dwarf and Elven Empire in the dark blue, so he could see that this round platform must have some kind of special control method, but the Hulan people couldn't find it.
Leaving the control room, there is the Divine Grace Zone, which occupies a quarter of the top floor of the temple. This is the name given to it by the Hulands, and it is very large and divided into several small areas, and the Hulands have only managed to enter two of them, and the other areas are always sealed behind metal partitions, and they don't know what is inside.
Entering the so-called Divine Grace Zone, Richard felt as if he had entered the Schumpeter family's real yĆ n room for a moment. There were rows of gutter-like things diagonally along the walls, a few filled with a pale blue liquid, most of which were empty. Each sink has a transparent lid on it, and the empty sink lid is open, while the sink containing the liquid inside is closed.
There was a person lying in several closed sinks, both men and women, and they were all lying in the sinks, all of them with terrible wounds on their bodies. The men's chests heaved slightly, their hearts still beating, but they weren't breathing. Although they were badly injured, their vitality was growing at a very slow rate. There were also a few people in this group that Richard knew, and they were several of Hulan's Sacred Domain powerhouses, all of whom had been seriously injured in previous battles and fled. Richard judged that their injuries would probably not last long even if they fled back, so he did not send anyone to chase them. But now it seems that it is possible for them to recover.
Richard then took some interest in the so-called Divine Grace Zone, and continued to examine it carefully. He didn't know what was wrong, since the dragon mage left, he always felt a little dying, as if he was not interested in anything, but his attention would not be distracted.
This temple is full of mystery, and it obviously belongs to a civilization that is completely different from Norland, and it seems to be more powerful than Norland, at least not weaker than Norland's humans. Such a place is the most valuable place to explore the plane. Richard continued to walk deeper into the Grace Zone. One of the compartments inside is significantly more luxuriously arranged, with only three sinks in the large area, which looks larger and more functional than the outside one. Both sinks were empty, and only one of them was soaking a woman's body.
Judging from the ornaments on her face, it was a tribal woman, but she was not as tall as a tribal woman, but more petite than a human woman. Her body was perfectly proportioned, and at first glance it was clear that it contained explosive power, but the surface of her skin was slightly loose, apparently due to the fact that she had been immersed in the water for too long. The woman had a wound on her waist that was long enough, but not deep. The deepest part of the crotch was only a little exposed, but the flesh of the wound was a death-like blue-gray. The liquid in the sink nourished the wound, and the flesh continued to foam finely, but the new flesh soon turned blue-gray.
With such a powerful body repair ability of the sink, Richard could not see the slightest sign of the woman's wound healing, and although the woman's heart was still beating, it was extremely slow, and she also gave Richard a strange feeling, making Richard always feel that this was just an empty shell, and the soul was really gone.
One by one, the followers also walked into the divine grace area inside, and as soon as Semia saw the woman in the sink, he immediately exclaimed, "Chase the sun! she's still alive?"
"Do you know her?" asked Richard.
Semir looked complicated and said, "This is one of the two legends of Hulan, but he is not a useless guy like Long Xing. In the bloody battle of the Continental Bridge, she single-handedly dragged Gordon and Mordred, and actually had the strength to kill half of our team of Constructed Knights. Even Lord Gordon admits that this is a terrible woman, and if she is as constructed as the strong man of Noland, then we will be in real trouble. It was only at the end of that battle that she was seriously injured by Mordred's chance. But we also had to stop at the bridge to the mainland. ā
Semia recalled the fierce battle of the day, sighed lightly, and then continued: "After she escaped with serious injuries, we all thought that she would definitely die, because the blow of Mordred's invocation of bloodline power has the annihilation power that locks the soul, and she will die without the help of a great priest above level eighteen. The Hulands have no priests. For many years, the Hulands had claimed that she was not dead, but we only thought that was bragging, because since that battle, although she claimed to have appeared a few times, she had not been seen at the front once, let alone participated in any battles. But I didn't expect that she was still alive, but it seemed that her soul had long been annihilated, and now all she left was an empty shell. ā
Richard walked to the sink and carefully observed the body of the day, his face became more and more serious, and said, "No! her soul should still be there, this body is obviously still spiritual, her soul must have left somehow, and it has just left." ā
Everyone's expressions were also stern, a soul may not be able to do anything, but the soul of a legendary powerhouse is difficult to say. Maybe she could possess another body, or even inhabit a magical golem. Even if the new carrier is not very powerful, with her deep understanding of combat, it can still exert great power. This temple is so mysterious, and obviously biased towards a mechanical civilization, maybe it hides some powerful magic puppet.
Richard frowned slightly, looked around the entire Divine Grace Zone, and was silent, and after a moment he suddenly shouted, "Naiyou!"
Nayu immediately opened her small mouth and let out a sharp and short scream! With her scream, you could even see a circle of light gray ripples circling around her, rapidly spreading. This ripple is tangible and insubstantial, and it is extremely fast, and the walls of the Divine Grace Zone can't stop it at all!
Richard also felt a slight dizziness when he was swept by the ripples, and so did Aceris, only quicksand as if nothing happened. The reaction of the others was much stronger, the stronger ones only felt dizzy, and several of the weakest constructed knights even felt as if they had been struck with a heavy hammer, and their eyes went black when they landed, and they fell directly to the ground.
Nayu's cry has a powerful impact on the soul, similar to the Banshee's Howl. Although the lethality of living beings is not as good as that of the Banshee's Howl, the impact and shock of all kinds of soul bodies is far above the Banshee's Howl. If she was now in the form of a soul body, then as long as she was within the range of Naiyu's scream, she would probably not be able to escape the catastrophe. Naiyu's shout covered most of the temple.
Nayu's shouting gradually subsided, and Richard listened attentively, but did not perceive anything, so he shook his head and ordered, "Take this body away." ā
The Battle Priest glanced into the sink and said, "Her body is still wrapped with a strong dark annihilation power, and once she leaves this tank, she may soon completely decay. ā
Richard said lightly: "You are also an eighteenth-level great priest, and you can't cure her?"
The battle priest immediately raised his head proudly, and said, "Of course, this matter will not be difficult for me! We have to keep an eye on her body at all times in case her soul gets a chance to return. You must know that after my treatment, once her soul returns, she will be an intact legendary powerhouse!"
"It's simple. After you heal her first, I will send someone to Faro at once. "Richard's order was simple and straightforward...... What is it?
