Volume 4 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 5 The Ruins of the Ancient Kingdom
"Fate?" Motojuku murmured in a low voice, "Do you believe that fate really exists?"
"I believe it! From the moment I met Brother Yuan, I knew it! Although fate is ethereal, it will give pious human guidance. Fate guided me to meet you, Brother Yuan, and then led me step by step to the critical moment in my life!"
Yuansu sneered, "If you want to restore the country, I can't help you much, I don't have any interest in conspiracies and fights, and I don't have time!"
Hayden also laughed shamefully, "Brother Yuan, you misunderstood, I came to you today, but I didn't ask you to help me restore the country, I just wanted Brother Yuan to take me to find a place!"
"Looking for a place, a place?" said Motojuku was interested.
"Gugulunguo, Brother Yuan, have you heard of it?"
Yuansu shook his head, this name is not mentioned in many general history books in the Western world, "No!"
"After all, this history is too long, and it has long disappeared into the dust of history!
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me what the place you are looking for has to do with the country of Gulin!"
"The country of Gualon was once a paradise to be desired, with beautiful scenery, suitable climate, fertile land, people living and working in peace and contentment, no danger of war, strong walls, many palaces, resplendent gold, the hanging gardens of which were famous all over the world, and the wise kings who established a strong civilized society and were admired by the whole world, and they were the first country in the world to be founded. ”
"Go on, get to the point, what's going on now?" Motojuku was a little impatient with Hayden's rhetoric.
"Now it is gone! It has been replaced by other dynasties and nations!"
"Then what do you mean by Gugulon?" Motosu was puzzled.
"Although the kingdom of Gugulon is gone, there are still some relics that still exist!"
"Existence exists! Dynasty change, it has always been like this, why find it, is there anything special about it?"
Hayden smiled slightly, "Brother Yuan, you finally got the point, of course there is something special about the country of Gulin, and its special thing is that it holds the secret of becoming a god in the country of Gulin!"
"The secret of becoming a god?" Motosu felt extremely stunned, "Is there really a god in this world?"
"Of course there is! God and we don't live in the same world!"
Yuansu asked rhetorically, "Since there are gods and the secret of becoming gods, why did the country of Gugulun perish?"
"This is naturally God's punishment for them! Besides, becoming a god is not so simple! Brother Yuan, do you know about the Holy Crusade?"
"Holy Crusade, I know this!" Motojuku nodded.
The Holy Crusade is an eastward religious military campaign led by the Holy Church, which now occupies most of the beliefs in most countries in the Western world, and its targets are the current Smanan Empire, the Ante Kingdom, the Timu Kingdom and some small surrounding countries.
According to the Holy Church, they are not waging a war of aggression, but to recover the plundered land.
The war, which lasted for almost two centuries and ended in defeat, is an indelible history for the Holy Church.
"Why did you bring up the Holy Crusade again?" Motojuku continued to ask.
"The Holy Crusade attacked the holy city of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem is the legendary birthplace of the Holy Church, and Jerusalem was also established on the basis of the ancient kingdom! Part of the reason for the Holy Crusade was to find the ruins of the ancient kingdom and then find the secret of becoming a god. ”
Motosu listened to Hayden speak in a serious and serious tone, and he vaguely felt the connection between these series of things.
"Of course, it is not only the Gugulon Kingdom that holds the secret of becoming a god, it is said that there are three other countries, including the Ancient India and Ancient Xia Kingdoms in the Eastern World, and the Ancient Egypt Kingdom in the Western World. Every nation holds the secret of becoming a god, which has been passed down in its entirety over time, while others have completely dissipated, while others have been left in a state of mutilation. ”
"Do you mean that the Holy Crusade is the secret of the Holy Church in order to complete the Divine Rites?"
"This is the case! The war in the world is actually a game between gods! a game between the new gods and the old gods, a game between gods of different faiths!" said Hayden respectfully.
"You've talked so much, I finally understand a little bit! What you mean is that the ruins of this Gugulon country are very important, and everyone wants to fight for them, and the big ones are involved, isn't that what you mean?"
"Yes!" Hayden nodded.
"But what does this have to do with you, and what does it have to do with me?"
Hayden was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and pondered for a long time.
"Of course it matters, don't you want to become a god, Brother Yuan?"
"I think, but didn't you also say it, even if you know the secret of becoming a god, it's not so simple to become a god, and these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet!"
Hayden looked a little anxious, "Even if it is very difficult to become a god, why not try it when the opportunity is in front of me?" I don't want to be a weak person forever, I want to be strong so that my destiny will not be dominated by others!"
Motojuku was a little silent.
"Brother Yuan, do you remember Phenter and Borg? Do you remember those white wolves? Do you remember those men in black? If we have god-like strength, will we still be controlled by others? Will we still have no resistance at all? I don't have a talent for cultivating magic, but at this time, I have a chance to change my fate in front of me, and now, I want to catch him. ”
Hayden said in a deep voice, word by word, extremely firm, Yuansu could feel the blood surging in Hayden's heart, since the return of the Broken Ancient Mountain Range, Hayden's whole person has undergone tremendous changes.
Yuansu's heart is not full of emotions, the belief of becoming stronger has always run through all aspects of his life, and he has never dared to slack off.
"In that case, then you can tell me about your plan!" Motojuku said calmly.
Hayden understood that Yuansu had indirectly agreed to his request for help, and his heart naturally became much more relaxed and happy, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he said to Yuansu with some excitement, "I already know the approximate location of the ruins of the Gugulon Kingdom!"
With that, Hayden took out a palm-sized piece of gray leather from his bosom, which looked like there were still some traces of dirt on it, and handed it to Yuansu.
Hayden has always had a habit of hiding things, so it's no surprise that there are traces of dirt on it.
Motojuku took the leather and stroked it gently, a warm feeling came, he couldn't tell which animal the leather belonged to, but he knew that this leather was absolutely precious and suitable for preservation.
However, after carefully searching through the leather, Motojuku found that there was no pattern or text on it.
"What is this?" Motosu was puzzled.
Hayden picked the leather from Motoju's hand again, and placed it on a small oil lamp in the room, and burned it.
Yuansu probably understood what Hayden was doing, the leather was not ignited by the flames, on the contrary, the whole leather suddenly became much larger, directly doubled in size, and patterns appeared on the leather one by one.
Yuansu felt that the things on it were more like a kind of text, dense, composed of various different lines and small squares, Yuansu had never seen this kind of text, and he didn't understand what it meant at all.
"It was left behind by a dead explorer, and on it was a script of the kingdom of Gugulon, which was only circulated among the priests of the kingdom, and which is hardly used anymore!" Hayden explained.
"Do you recognize the words on it?"
"I didn't know each other before, but now I understand it!" replied Hayden respectfully.
"You mean you learned it from Temple?" Yuansu frowned slightly, and at this time he finally understood why Hayden and Temples were involved in the plan given to him by the little assistant Sisi.
"Lord Temple's ancestral family has always been a priest, and he is very interested in this kind of writing, although he is not a priest, but he has been learning the inheritance of his ancestors! He does not want this kind of writing to be broken, so when I found out that this kind of writing appeared in his house, I asked him to learn it, and Master Temples readily agreed!"
The little assistant Sisi had long known about the possible connection between Hayden and Temple, and Yuansu just made this connection go smoothly.
At this time, Yuansu also strengthened his belief in helping Hayden, because the heavenly treasure he was looking for was likely to be in the ruins of this so-called Gugulon Kingdom, and helping Hayden was actually equivalent to helping himself.
"And what is this text about?"
"It records the explorer Crow's expedition, and records the specific location of the ruins of the Gugulun Kingdom, but due to the constraints of the conditions at the time and other factors, he did not really explore the ruins, and then he suddenly fell ill and died violently, and finally failed to explore the ruins, which became his lifelong regret!"
"This man is quite tragic!" Motojuku smiled involuntarily.
"Yes, his bad luck has given us an advantage!" The location mentioned by Crowe is in the territory of the current Ante country, but due to the change of place names caused by the change of dynasties, the exact location can only be judged when we arrive in Ante country!" Hayden patiently explained.
"Okay, when are you going to leave?"
"The sooner the better! The current situation in the country of Ante also has the Holy Church, and in its influence, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no variables!"
"Okay! My recent cultivation has also hit a bottleneck, so I'll walk with you!" Yuansu's body finally stood up after sitting for a long time, and Hayden naturally stood up immediately.
As the night deepened, a faint moonlight shone into the room through the window, and both Motojuku and Hayden were happy and tacitly acknowledged, however, suddenly, all of them had frightened expressions on their faces, and they felt the slight sound of someone moving outside the house, and at this time a deep and deep voice also came.
"Haha! How can you not bring me such a good thing?"
