CCCVIII. Temple
The claw is the sword, and the scale is the steel armor.
The wings are spread, and the world is in chaos.
From the moment he woke up, the sky fell apart.
The language of the dragon contains a certain true spirit, and the breath has a great power, and the dragon slayers of the ancient era called this great power the dragon's roar.
In human language, imitate the pronunciation of its real name.
It's called Garsek.
Since the confluence of the celestial spheres nine hundred years ago, it has descended on this continent.
Dwelling in this borderland of gold.
It's been nearly a thousand years.
Iron Soul Island.
Central Temple.
The sky was gloomy, and a heavy gray curtain of lead seemed to press down on the whole land, first sporadic drizzle, then turning to a downpour.
The ancient stone palace is surrounded by bluestone stairs on all sides, about a thousand steps, and the appearance of the glorious quaint building on the central high platform has lost its former appearance due to weathering and crazy vines.
Civilization here is long gone, the huge palaces, the trivial internal structures have been completely destroyed, the stone pillars, the partition walls, all collapsed under some kind of great force.
This turns the ancient stone palace into a huge cavern, and there is no lighting at all, just darkness.
Doulinger and his party had already arrived, ascending the exaggeratedly long staircase into the interior of the palace.
Illuminated by torches.
The faces of the group were filled with unconcealed ecstasy, and the face of endless greed being satisfied was stirred into a blessedly arc.
After going two hundred meters into the palace, I couldn't see my fingers, but under the lighting of the torches and the touch from under the boots.
Jewelry, gold, precious stones, pieces of things with a sparkling luster are everywhere.
Some of them are already crazy.
Picking up handfuls after handfuls, and even taking off his coat and wrapping his clothes, he only hated that he only had two hands and couldn't empty all the treasures here.
If you take these and sell them, 50,000 golden dragons? No...... Or even a hundred thousand, or even more, because the further you go, the more treasures are piled up.
Even Doulinger's subordinates are people who have seen the world, but I really haven't seen this scene.
As historians have claimed, the central temple is home to a treasure trove that rivals the riches of the nation.
Former Bema General Horis was also a little uncalm, and couldn't help but bend down and use his hands to dig the gold artifacts.
Only Doringer.
The light of the torch shone only on half of his face, and in this case his expression was still like that of a dead man, eerie and terrible, without the slightest joy, and he did not know what he was thinking.
There may be other gold mines on the island.
But unexpectedly, there is no need for any development, and all vested profits have been placed here in advance?
There was darkness all around, and it was far from the exit of the palace, even around the corner.
"Master Dao, with this money, there is no need to whisper to Yisu and be the governor of the East China Sea. Why don't we start our own country? Like Lostella, there is a constitutional monarchy. ”
Even Doulinger's scholars were carried away by this wealth.
The ecstatic crowd gouged through the innumerable gold vessels on the ground, making a noisy noise, and with excitement, let out uncontrollable cheers and howls.
Suddenly.
Horace sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't draw his sword to show hostility, just scanned around with a torch in one hand, the flames flickered, but it couldn't illuminate the darkness, and he felt a gust of wind blowing.
Doulinger's face became more and more solemn.
Finally, with the sound of a cascade of artifacts falling like a waterfall, two incomparably blood-colored rays appeared at the end of the darkness.
In an instant, most of the palace behind Doulinger was projected into a bright red purgatory, and he still couldn't see what the creature was at the end of the darkness in front of him.
There were only two blood-red rays of light separated by a few meters from each other.
It's terrifying and treacherous, especially in this dark temple cavern.
Whoa......
All the gold artifacts in the hands of the group fell to the ground, crackling and scattering, all shocked by the light, and their legs were weak, it was not like something that human beings could resist.
Some believers have already prayed to the gods.
Horis was also shocked and took two steps back, but he didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he dare to rush forward to find out the real thing.
The group found no trace of the so-called dragon activity, and rushed here before all the gold diggers.
"I, Doulinger, the uncrowned king of the East China Sea, am I?"
Doulinger's psychological qualities were extremely terrifying.
As the co-owner of the East China Sea, there are also a few dragon eggs on the display shelves at home to enjoy, and they also tear apart the giant demons that are more chaotic in the East China Sea, and the sky collapses without being shocked.
The voice seemed to come from the void, with an eternal distance, like an extraterrestrial sound.
It's been a long time since I've seen someone who can talk.
Garsek doesn't spend all the time here, he also goes out, but seven hundred years ago, he was tired of it.
"Now the ruler of the Western Continent is still Engema."
The creature at the end of the darkness asks an extremely strange question.
The voice was too desolate and cold, and the wind that blew made the temperature in the palace drop by dozens of degrees, and their clothes were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and their mouths could be filled with hot mist, and the torches and fireworks swayed.
Historians were shocked to the point that they couldn't get back to their senses.
Because of horror and fear, they were speechless.
"Now...... Is the ruler of the Western Continent still Engma? ”
The voice asked again.
Like thunder rolling in the sky, buzzing throughout the palace, the group only felt that their chests were bursting, their hearts were about to stop, and the weak people had already knelt down and prostrate on the ground, panting heavily.
"Engma...... You're referring to the Empress, unfortunately, she's been dead for seven hundred years, and now the Emperor's name is ......"
Doulinger thought for a moment, but with the degree of his rampantness, he didn't dare to say it.
I'm afraid of being hurt by the power of fate in that person's darkness.
"Now that the dynasty has changed, the ruler of the Western Continent is a country called Aram."
Doulinger replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, if he wanted to take the gold from this palace, he was afraid that it would be a little difficult.
"Oh...... It's been seven hundred years, and it's been a few years since the Holy Spirit. ”
Garsek has a fairly gentle temper, it will only kill people who try to leave the island, and it is quite a good choice to have someone as a dragon servant, a dragon sacrifice, to serve itself.
As he became more accustomed to the darkness, Horain's vision became clearer, and he could see the other things hidden in the palace, only to see that outside the pile of treasures, there were countless human bones.
This existence is able to communicate, so that Doulinger has no murderous intentions for the time being, and if he can solve the matter by peaceful means, he will try not to lean on the bloodshed.
"It's January 20th, the year 2690 of the Holy Spirit calendar, seven hundred years...... Are you a Blood, or an Elf, or something? I don't mean to be disrespectful, just curious. ”
Doulinger asked blandly.
And Garsek is long past the age of moving out of a long list of titles.
"It's rare, it's rare......"
The desolate voice was repeated twice, and it admired the courage of this man, the courage of this man, and few people dared to speak to it in nearly a thousand years.
"You wonder, why don't you take the first few steps? I'm giving you permission to do that, it's ...... The will of Garsek. ”
