Chapter 343 Temple 2

Luo Qi looked up and saw more than a dozen towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, reflecting the crimson palace in front of him, as if this was the center of the world. The wind-eroded pillar seems to have gone through endless years, leaning on the mountain and standing tall, as if it came from the mountain, the only corner of another lost world revealed.

The wind was blowing from nowhere, but Rocky could hear it swirling high and low in the deep space of the temple, like a ghostly shrill song. Beyond that, there was silence, long since the glorious races left, their favorite symbols carved into a circle of the central arch. Like a seal created by words, words are transformed into graceful lines linked together, like vines climbing through arches.

"I know what this is." Zhou Quan was also looking at the words.

"I don't know all the old sayings." Roach said.

"I don't recognize a few," Zhou Quan said, "but I thought about what this place was." Have you ever heard that Highland mages live near temples? They would regularly go into the snow-capped mountains and practice in the temple. ”

"You think this is it?" Rocky asked. "So close to home?"

"If this isn't a temple, where else do you think it is?" Zhou Quan asked rhetorically.

"Is there a curse in that temple?"

"Uh" Zhou Quan hesitated, and was about to say something, Luo Qi's eyes widened suddenly, he knew that he had to pay extra attention to the reaction of the Mind Mage when he went out, so he was so frightened that he immediately endured the words.

"I hear someone talking." Roach said, looking down to feel the consciousness, which he found growing more and more ethereal as he got closer. It's like eavesdropping on someone else's whisper, and you hear the voice, as if every word is in your ear, but you can't hear every syllable, and you can't hear what the person is saying.

Zhou Quan didn't dare to come out, and paid full attention to Luo Qi's every move. If Roach says "not good" at this time, then he is ready to run away.

Rocky remained motionless, and suddenly, he looked up and sat down on the ground.

"What? Buddy? Do you want to meditate here? Zhou Quan said.

"I still have to think about it, it's too tiring to stand." Rocky said, his elbows resting on his thighs, his hands propping his head on his head, and he tilted his head to look at the arched entrance. "Perhaps, this is just a public station. Can you send a message home? ”

"I can't, there's no energy here, and I don't feel the power of being connected to other public stations." Zhou Quan said.

"Maybe because of the power outage, the post station is offline." Roach said.

"This can't be a public inn, right?" Zhou Quan said, "But what you said is also possible, after all, we don't know what a public post station is." ”

"Brother Quan, you can always understand what I'm talking about, even my brother doesn't know what I'm talking about." Roach said, turning his head to look at him.

"Du Zhengyi is a busy man, how can we waste so much time on human entertainment." Zhou Quan said indifferently.

Luo Qi didn't say anything more, Zhou Quan said all the truth. Roach sat under the ancient arch for at least half an hour, meditating like an ascetic in Kathmandu, but in the middle he pulled out a bean to eat and drank some water.

Zhou Quan waited, and when he was bored, he lit a fire next to them, and spent time making a tent and adding graffiti to the tent. In this regard, Roach has to say that he is the most patient mage he has ever seen, and the degree of patience is a bit heartless. If Roach had been sitting here, he might have been able to stay with him for a long time, and he would be so bored that he would have copied a full set of household items, and then copied a full-scale red stone arch opposite.

"I've finally translated the words on the arch." Forty minutes later, Rocky turned back to him with some excitement.

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you fighting against that consciousness here?" ”

Roach was also shocked, "You think I can fight while eating?" ”

"Oh, that's not important." Zhou Quan happily turned over all the errors in these details, "But how do you translate the ancient language while sitting?" Didn't you know each other? ”

"That doesn't matter." Luo Qi said, he licked his lips, and he called a few ghosts who were good at this to help him check the information, but none of these things Zhou Quan knew. "Are you interested in the words written on it?"

"Interested! If it is written above that it is forbidden, then we had better hurry back home, I'm afraid there is a curse ahead. Zhou Quan said jokes seriously, but it wasn't all jokes, it basically meant serious.

Luo Qi looked at Zhou Quan, stretched out a thumbs up to him, and continued, "It says that flying to this tranquility, the fire demon is far away from the mountains. I'm not good at translating. ”

"Meaning this is a dwarven mining factory?" Zhou Quan paused and asked with a complicated expression.

Roach turned around and glared at the arch for a moment, then said, "No, I don't think so. ”

"Definitely not! So what exactly does that mean? Zhou Quan finally became a little anxious, "The most important thing is that let's talk about the main point, does this mean that you can or can't step in?" ”

"I have a little different opinion on this statement." Roach was still sitting on the ground, his hands pressed to his thighs, as if he was going to confront the Invisible Demon. I think this sentence is too elegant. We mages are all pragmatic, and if we were pragmatic, we wouldn't write such a poetic thing on the door. ”

"yes, yes." Zhou Quan agreed, "The ban on traffic and safe passage is more suitable for our style. ”

"So I think what these two sentences mean, in fact," Roach took a deep breath and finally spoke, "in other words, it's a flight stop, no fireworks." ”

Zhou Quan raised his head to look at it with a complicated expression, and just when Luo Qi felt that he should use something to continue to persuade him, Zhou Quan stretched out a thumbs up to him, "I think you're right!" ”

"I don't even have to argue with you?" Rocky was a little surprised.

"No, no, in principle, mages in ancient times could fly, and this is not much controversial now. What you say makes a lot of sense, why am I arguing with you? Zhou Quan said indifferently, "So it should be safe here?" But if that's the case, then it's more functional than symbolic. It's not a temple at all, and if the Highland Mage uses this as a temple, it would be completely stupid. ”

"What does that have to do with us, why are you suddenly angry?" Roach said in surprise as he stood up from the ground, "We didn't come here to find the temple, we didn't come to explore, didn't we just come here?" ”

"I'm just a little disappointed, I thought I could see some special ancient ruins." Zhou Quan said, "Don't you feel that there is a consciousness here?"

"I feel it." "But it's not close enough to stand here, and I'm going to have to go in and get closer to actually get in there." ”

"You just spent dozens of minutes just translating that jargon?" Zhou Quan suddenly became a little anxious again.

Roach nodded. "From an archaeological point of view, this is a special ancient ruin!"

"What if it's full of words? Do you want to translate one step at a time? Zhou Quan asked.

"Then it proves that this place is safe, and I'm going to bring a group of people over and turn this place into a laboratory, and I can apply for my own project through you." In the future, I can officially work in Pei Shu's laboratory, work in advance, and I don't even have to wait until I graduate, I can save my family a sum of money on tuition. Rocky said earnestly.

Zhou Quan only had a basic judgment about Roach, and this judgment was not enough to tell whether Roach was telling the truth or falsehood. To put it simply, he was almost confused now, staring at Roach in confusion.

Roach picked up his backpack from the ground and put it back on his back again, "I'll go in and have a look, you can wait for me here." ”

"I'll go in with you." Zhou Quan hurriedly said.

"That's fine, you can help me evaluate the project." Roach said, turning and walking through the arch.

Behind the tall arches are deep cave corridors, and there are not many places where sunlight can shine through the arches. Roach's face tensed as he turned his head to face the depths of the cave, and he had a bad feeling as if he was going through the monster's throat and spontaneously entering the monster's esophagus.

Zhou Quan didn't even hesitate at the door, he followed in directly, and sent out a cluster of light balls, which were not as dazzling as Du Zhengyi's light balls, but they were barely usable.

Roach walked forward, and by the light he could see the dust hanging on the walls, barely seeing their true colors. Zhou Quan followed him one step behind him, and he monitored Zhou Quan's heartbeat and even the activity of his brain.

He could feel that Zhou Quan's heartbeat was extremely stable, staying within the mage's standard heart rate, and the fire of his consciousness was also stable and strong. Luo Qi shallowly invaded Zhou Quan's consciousness, did not touch his current thinking, nor touched his memory, and cautiously only touched the part of Zhou Quan's brain that was completely responsible for basic physiology. Zhou Quan's physiological indices are very stable, he has no special hormone secretion, and there is no obvious change in blood pressure, which means that he is not afraid at all, not nervous, and not anxious. In an unfamiliar, grandiose, ancient building, there are potential enemies in front of it, and there may be invisible but deadly curses in the back, but under these premises, Zhou Quan is unusually calm and quite Du Zhengyi's style.

He's stupid or he's stupid

Roach muttered to himself.

The corridor stretched for about fifty meters and at the end, a wide hall appeared in front of them. Zhou Quan manipulated the light source, constantly copying the light source and sending it to all corners of the hall, like countless invisible hands transmitting and distributing lights.

Roach walked slowly, through the hall, and now he could see the whole hall. It's huge, and if you want to compare, it's like a small airport. So if the mages who flew here were going to stay here, they wouldn't be flying on wings, they would at least have big animals like eagle-headed horsetail-winged beasts.

Roach let himself think about what it had been like in its prime, but now there was nothing but empty silence, and countless flying and spinning balls of light illuminated only nothingness.

"There's nothing here." Zhou Quan said regretfully, "There is not even a trace of the use of the Highland Mage. ”

Roach didn't answer, he walked to the wall of the hall, which was too far from the entrance of the cave for the wind and sand to invade. There were signs of flooding on the ground, and the sediment had poured in and deposited a thick layer on the ground, but the walls against it were clean.

Roach touched the wall, which was unusually smooth, like a cast metal. He grabbed a ball of light and leaned against the wall, where he saw familiar mage ornaments that were often used even in today's mage buildings. But the ornamentation is hidden under the walls, and there is no trace of it where the fingers have touched it.

"Roach, what are you doing?" Zhou Quan turned around and saw his abnormal behavior and followed him.

"Look at the walls here." Roach whispered.

"Bronze?" Zhou Quan asked casually, the ancient civilization liked to use this very much.

"Not like, but it's metallic anyway." "But look at it, do you see anything special?" ”

"Uh" Zhou Quan looked hard for a while, "Smoother?" ”

"Copper was originally golden, but when it rusts, it is cyan. Sometimes in museums, you can see a little golden heart on the lid of a bronze pot. "But look at this wall, thousands of years have passed, and the metal has not corroded at all. ”

"Oh, the walls are interesting to look at." Zhou Quan said without interest.

Roach knocked on the wall.

"Oh my god, if it would be effective to knock a bone, it wouldn't be able to be used to make a wall at all." Zhou Quan said next to him.

Roach was starting to want to smoke him a little.

At this moment, Zhou Quan raised his right hand, holding a handful of BS in his hand, and stabbed Luo Qi's head fiercely.

Roach didn't dodge, looking at him calmly, his BS stuck to the wall, not even a scratch left. "The quality of my heart is good!" He said.

"You don't have murderous intent." Roach said sincerely, "If you really want to kill me, I can make you brain dead first." Your brain is not very resistant to the Mind Mage. ”

"Awesome." Zhou Quan said, and then asked, "Are you saying I'm simple-minded?" ”

"I'm also a simple person." Roach said.

Zhou Quan laughed, and then he burned the walls with fire, burned another round with karmic fire, sprayed with cold water, and later asked Luo Qi to stand a little farther away and sprayed the walls with a bubbling liquid, which Luo Qi suspected was liquid nitrogen. All in all, the walls were barely damaged.

"Alright." Zhou Quan finally received his magical powers, "Although my skills are not superior, they are similar to those experimental mages." I can responsibly say that I have only seen this metal once. ”

"Is it the new material from the lab?" Roach asked keenly, remembering that the lab had gotten the new material.

"It's not." Zhou Quan said, "It's the knife used by Du Zhengyi, oh, and guns, arrows, and chains, in short, Du Zhengyi is very good at condensing weapons of this material." ”11
