Volume 4 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 18 Piety
"There's a treasure mountain and you can't enter! It's really annoying! This Nabu is too infuriating, he has to come to get in, why don't you do face recognition??"
Rupert looked at the uneven wall, angry and angry, the fat on his face kept shaking, and he looked a little hideous and terrifying.
"You dead fat pig, be quiet!Don't you see Brother Yuan meditating?" Hayden shouted at Rupert.
"What else could he have seen of that Naboo? This is really weird! Pretending, can he really think of any other way?" Rupert was so angry that he even began to scare with Yuansu.
"Squeak!"
A sharp voice sounded like thunder, and a bright light appeared in front of everyone.
Rupert's mouth opened wide in surprise at this point, and he watched in disbelief at the change in front of him.
He was still scolding Yuansu just now, but in the blink of an eye, Yuansu slapped Rupert in the face with practical actions.
In the end, it was Yuansu who solved the problem that was bothering them.
It's not just Rupert's various behaviors that surprise Yuansu, but Yuansu's various performances have also brought Rupert all kinds of surprises and constantly refreshed Rupert's imagination.
The originally solid and seamless stone wall was broken directly from the middle at this time, slowly spreading out to both sides, and through the gap, the light also shot directly into the cave.
The white light shone on Yuansu's face, and Yuansu woke up directly, he didn't expect that his whim attempt would really succeed, but this also made Yuansu's heart have deep doubts.
Why did he imagine Cangzhe's face in his heart and chant Cangzhe's name to finally succeed in opening the entrance to the underground Babel Tower?
Is it just because both of them are gods who created words?
Or are Nabu and Kura just one person, just two different names?
Yuansu was puzzled, he planned to test the little assistant Sisi when he had time, he felt that there must be a very important secret hidden in it.
However, it is imperative to pass the current hurdle.
With Hayden's support, Yuansu slowly got up, the entrance to the underground Babel Tower had been opened, and all that remained was to find what they wanted.
Rupert rushed in the moment the door opened, followed by Liz and Stephanie, but Hayden and Yuansu walked at the back of the line.
Yuansu slowly stepped into the stone gate, and a brilliant and bright world appeared in front of Yuansu's eyes, shaking Yuansu's eyes a little difficult to open.
Compared to the darkness inside the cave, it was like daylight inside the tower, and everything was clearly recognizable.
The whole space is like an inverted pyramid, large at the top and small at the bottom, the top layer is a square, full of 100 zhang long and wide, the golden tiles pave the road, and the top is dotted with various animal patterns, including the angry snake that Yuanjuku saw before, and of course, there are lions, horses, dogs, long snakes and other more common animals.
In the center of the field of vision is a large round stone pillar, made of gold, shining with golden brilliance, leading to the bottom of the line of sight.
Along the path to the upper level, there is a staircase that winds down to the lowest end of the tower.
Looking around, the space is dominated by gold, and on the walls, most of them are painted with statues, various animals, human beings with different faces, and various utensils.
Yuansu is not very interested in these statues, although these can represent the brilliant culture of the ancient country, but after all, these have disappeared, they are the products of the era, and he is not here to study history, he just wants to find the natural treasures he needs.
Since this is the abode of the gods, and he has passed the test set by Naboo, there should be no danger to them, and he can naturally explore to his heart's content.
"Haha! I've found something good!" Rupert cried out happily.
Yuansu hurriedly looked in Rupert's direction, at this time Rupert had already walked about halfway to the position, he was holding a golden teapot in one hand and a golden cup in the other, shaking and dancing in his hands.
"These gods are too extravagant! I don't think they need these things, so I'll just let me take them!" Rupert continued to muttered to himself.
Yuanju's posture was nimble, and he came to Rupert's position in a few steps.
Only then did Motojuku discover that a seat had been set up in the place where Rupert was standing for rest and rest, and that Rupert had taken away the tea utensils placed on it.
Rupert had already touched it many times, and although the things above were made of gold, it was difficult for him to take them away, except for the tea utensils that looked like they were taking what they wanted.
Rupert touched the silver ring on his right hand, trying to fit the gold tea set into the ring.
This is a spatial treasure, which he usually uses to place various daily necessities, and for high-level magicians, this kind of spatial ring is not an unusual thing.
However, Rupert was surprised to find that the ring that could have been used normally was completely invalid at this time, and those gold tea sets could not be put into the ring at all, and the most surprising thing was that those gold tea sets disappeared in his hands out of thin air, and then returned to the original table in a dignified manner.
"It's so stingy, I can't bear it!No wonder your people have left you!" Rupert whispered.
The lack of access to the gold tea set did not dampen Rupert's interest, and he continued to move merrily towards the bottom of the tower.
As they approached the base of the tower, their field of vision narrowed, and they moved closer to the central pillar.
As Yuansu descended the stairs, he could feel that he was gradually getting closer to the heavenly treasure he wanted.
At last he saw where the stone pillar connected to the staircase, where there was an arched stone door, where Rupert had appeared.
According to the conventional understanding, it is the last shrine that should be stored, a place where the gods are worshipped, and at the same time a place where various offerings and treasures are hidden.
Yuansu did not hesitate, and Hayden naturally did not give in, and the two of them quickly moved towards the position of the stone gate.
Soon, the two of them came to the stone gate, and Stephanie and Liz also resisted, and the four of them entered the stone pillar together.
The inside of the stone pillar is still very bright, and on the white walls, around a circle, there are carved statues one by one, lifelike, and with people's gaze, they will even make various expressions, as if they are really alive.
Motojuku was shocked, but quickly adjusted.
In the center of the doorway, there is also a statue, which, unlike the others, is incomparably taller, almost several times the size of the others.
The statue depicts a man with wings on his back, a long beard, a three-tiered domed crown on his head, a loose robe with a disc tattooed on his body, bare feet, and a shovel in his hand.
"These old gods are really poor! they don't even have any decent relics! It's disappointing! You see, their sacrifices are here, you said, let me take them first!" Rupert grumbled in disappointment.
Motojuku looked over at Rupert, who was standing beneath the huge statue, where there was a huge golden table, on which were placed all sorts of different things, wheat, barley, apples, grapes, dates, peaches, lambs, piglets, calves, all made of gold, stacked in rows.
Rupert quickly put away all the tributes with the ring in his hand, and soon the entire table was empty.
These are even more lucrative than Rupert's last harvest in the Broken Ancient Mountains, but Rupert's heart is still not satisfied, and he wants more.
Although gold is precious, it is only an ordinary product, and he has gone through all kinds of hardships to find such a mysterious place, and naturally he wants those transcendent and holy items.
For example, the spear of Longinu, a sacred relic in the Holy Religion, has undergone unimaginable changes because it has been stained with the blood of Allah, and those who possess him can gain extraordinary powers and great power.
It stands to reason that this place is dedicated to the king of the gods, the god Marduk, so there should be a decent holy relic!
Legend has it that the god Marduk has created a powerful bow to kill the evil dragons that plague the world, and if he can get it, it would be good to use.
Rupert thought to himself that he would have to keep trying, and after simply packing up the sacrifice, Rupert left again.
Yuansu's heart was a little irritable, he obviously sensed the breath of heaven and earth, but there was no trace in his field of vision.
Motosu looked at Hayden, who was staring at the huge statue on the wall, and then he folded his hands and knelt down respectfully.
"Creator of all things, King of the gods, Lord of all directions, God Marduk! Ask you, pious people," said Hayden, aloud.
Hayden spoke the language of the ancient kingdom, which Yuansu could not understand, but from Hayden's respectful eyes, Yuansu could see Hayden's piety.
Yuanju's heart fluctuated, he knew that this should be the ultimate purpose of Hayden's trip, and at the same time, he was also very curious in his heart.
Is he really going to witness the coming of the gods with his own eyes today?
Hayden continued to whisper silently, his pious expression with a thunderous firmness.
"Devout believers from the city-state of Barron! I have heard your call!" an ethereal voice rang out from the sculpture directly in front of Hayden.
Hayden looked up in surprise, and Yuansu also looked at the statue in surprise, and the bright golden light shone, and a middle-aged man with golden wings stood in the air and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Tell me, my great people, what do you want?"
