Chapter 421: The Heart of Onelens
Sawan flew for another ten days against the strong wind, and finally came to the place that the undead Orch had spoken. The wind and sand made it difficult to see the scenery in the distance, and Sawan vaguely felt that there was a continuous mountain range in front of him, and he did not know the exact situation of the ups and downs. In front of the mountains is a flat desert, and in the desert there is a black oppressive object that seems to be a huge city.
At this time, the undead Orch appeared again, and he pointed ahead and said to Savan, "Master, there is the heart of the former empire, called Onerens, the capital of the former empire. The mountain range to the left of Oneto is the Stick God Peak, while the Axe God Peak is the Axe God Peak to the right. ”
Hearing Olchi's introduction, Sawan couldn't help but think of the text recorded on the stone tablet, one of which mentions the axe god and the stick god: west of the axe god...... Eeast of the Stick God...... Arms intersected......
Sawin chewed on the meaning of the words, since the axe god and the stick god are the names of the two peaks, what does it mean that the arms intersect? Could it be that the two peaks can still meet together? After thinking for a long time, Sawin didn't understand what it was trying to express, so he threw this to Olchi.
The undead Olchi pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Master, if my guess is correct, this intersection of arms should refer to a legend from the past. ”
Sawin asked, "What kind of legend, tell me quickly!"
"Legend has it that at the end of autumn, when the wind has passed, on the day of worship to the autumn god, when the sun has just risen, the projections of the Axe God Peak and the Stick God Peak will intersect, which also indicates that autumn has ended, and it is time for the cold winter to begin." ”
Sawan secretly pondered Orchi's statement, as if the words on the tablet were very consistent with the legend, and it seemed that this was probably what it meant at the moment. But I don't know how long it will be until the end of autumn, and I can't wait here forever.
"Orch, have you ever seen this legend yourself?" asked Savin.
The undead Olch shook his head and replied, "I didn't get a chance to see this legendary spectacle. ”
"And do you know where the projections of the two peaks will meet?" Sawan continued.
"Sorry, I don't know. Olch shook his head.
Sawan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Orch didn't know this place, but he didn't give up, so he asked some more details about the sacrifice to the autumn god. According to Orchi, the worship of the autumn god was held in various places, and was usually led by the local noble lords.
During the Autumn God Festival, livestock are slaughtered as sacrifices, and then a large pit is dug to buy these sacrifices into the ground as gifts to the Autumn God in the hope of a good harvest in the coming year.
While listening to Olchi's introduction, Sawin wondered in his heart whether there would be something buried there since the words on the slate were so important, and it specifically mentioned the place where the projections of the two peaks met. If in the past, sacrifices had to be bought to worship the autumn gods, could it be that the place where the sacrifices were buried was the place where the projections met......
Sawan felt that this possibility was not impossible, but it was not easy to find this place to bury the sacrifice at the moment, and even the undead of Olch did not know about it, let alone an outsider. In desperation, Savin had no choice but to dismiss this idea for the time being, and wait until he arrived at the city of Oneto to have a look.
As the distance gradually closes, I see the ruins of an incomparably large city in front of me, although most of it has been buried, but you can still see how grand the city was back then from some of the remaining tall buildings. Many of the towers have collapsed, but what remains is still amazing, and Sawan was surprised when he first saw the Mage Forest, but it was still far inferior to the ruins of Oneto.
One of the most surprising was a huge behemoth in the middle of the city, Savin didn't know what it was, and couldn't tell what it looked like in the first place, but the part that survived was already amazing, almost like a mountain towering in the middle of the city, and the surrounding buildings seemed extremely small compared to it.
The thick sand had covered the building, but some outlines could still be discerned, and the whole building was like a square cone, layered on top of each other, and at the top of it was a huge platform, and at each corner of the platform stood a tall tower. Today, all four towers have collapsed, and only half of them are still standing.
Sawin sighed in his heart: "I really don't know how to build such a miracle back then, I can only describe it as breathtaking." ”
The undead Olch said to Savan, "This is the palace of the Sun Emperor back then, and it is also the place where the sun is worshipped. When I was younger, I used to come here to participate in the sacrifices, and I remember that the whole palace was unimaginably gorgeous in golden colors, but now it has become like this......"
Listening to Olchi's words, Sawin felt a burst of emotion in his heart, and then a burst of nervousness, if this time the end could not be passed, would the world he lived in also become like this......
After flying around the city of Oneto, Savin could see roughly what the city looked like, it was a square city, surrounded by tall walls, and in the center of the city was a huge square cone-shaped palace, and other buildings were around the palace, and the whole city was strictly planned, and it could be seen that it took considerable effort to build the city.
Olch kept telling Sawan about the glory of Oneto, but Savin's attention was no longer there, and he was now trying to figure out the meaning of the words on the tablet. No matter how great Oneto is, it is in the past, and now we have to look forward, and with the lessons of Onerens, perhaps a way through the disaster can be found now.
Not much useful has been found in the ruins of the city, after all, most of the buildings have been buried, and the only thing worth noting is the majestic royal palace, where something may be found. Thinking about this, Savin flew towards the top of the palace, and soon landed on the large platform at the top.
"This is the place where the sun used to be worshipped, and only the Sun Emperor and the royal family could ascend here, and other nobles could only worship outside the palace. ”
Sawan looked around, the platform had collapsed in many places, but it was still huge, and there was a square altar in the center of the platform, which was already covered with dust. The towers at the four corners of the platform had collapsed, and one of the truncated towers had smashed into several pieces on the platform, and nothing else.
After looking at it, he found no useful clues, much to Savin's disappointment. The ruins of the city don't seem to be of much value, and if there is anything noteworthy, it is probably buried under the sand.
Savin stood at the highest point of the city and looked out, the geographical location chosen by Oneto is actually very good, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one side is a plain, from a military point of view, it will be an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, but at the beginning, the magic of this civilization was very developed, and probably not too many troops were needed to fight.
Sawan looked in the direction he came from, and saw that the flat earth stretched out, as if the whole thing was directly spread out in front of him, probably the original Sun Emperor would have felt the same way. Savin looked to the left and right again, and the two peaks of the axe god and the stick god were on both sides, like two giants guarding the city.
Thinking about the stone slab at this time, Sawan could probably imagine the scene of two mountain peaks gradually intersecting in the sun's rays at the end of autumn. Savan looked at it, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, he took a few steps back, gestured with his hand to the front, then took a few steps back, and suddenly shouted: "I understand!"
Sawin walked a few steps until he reached the altar, then gestured with his hand, and suddenly exclaimed with joy: "Found it! Found it!
It turned out that Sawan found that the height of this royal palace was actually very particular, as long as you stood on the altar and looked ahead, the two peaks seemed to slope from both sides to the middle, forming an equilateral triangle with the horizon, and the apex of this triangle should be the place where the projection intersects.
