Chapter 507 The Secret of the God of the Scorching Sun(1/2)
Dejiko walked very fast and seemed a little anxious.
He had been here many times and had not encountered any danger, so he was not as careful as Rennes, but Rennes did not relax his guard and observed the surroundings.
There is an obelisk on both sides of the stone road every twenty meters, just like a street light on the side of the road.
These obelisks are all carved from a whole piece of rock. The body of the stele is nearly five meters wide and has a height of more than fifty meters. It gradually shrinks from bottom to top to form a spire, and the top is shaped like a pyramid's spire. The body of the stele is carved with complex patterns and runes, revealing the vicissitudes of vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere and a faint power of faith.
Renn visited with the Eye of Soul and found that the pictures and texts on the obelisk were similar to the stone pillar totem of the Sun Chaser tribe, and many of the contents corresponded to each other.
Most of the contents on each obelisk are the same, but at a certain detail position, it seems to be a number or coordinate, pointing to a specific target and position.
Halfway through the stone road, Renn suddenly paused.
He sensed that the power of faith on an obelisk was extremely strong. At this moment, the pattern runes on the monument were running. The power of faith from the distant void gathered to the spire, collected through the body of the monument, flowed into the underground and disappeared.
“Is the obelisk used to collect the power of faith?”
Rennes suddenly realized.
He couldn't help but slow down and carefully observed the obelisk that had reacted. After the power of faith gathered, he entered the ground, his eyes looked in the direction of the fluctuation of the power of faith, and finally pointed to the magnificent pyramid ahead.
Degiko noticed that Rennes did not follow and turned around and asked, "Lord, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Renn shook his head.
The power of faith is invisible to the naked eye. Degiko cannot discover the true function of the obelisk. Its form is different from the totem of the stone pillars. It is likely that these stone tablets are used as decorations.
His eyes glanced over and soon he found several working obelisks.
Obviously, the power of faith collected by each obelisk comes from different places.
"Your Excellency Chief, do you know that there are other people who believe in the God of the Scarlet Sun in addition to the Sun Cruise Tribe?" Ren asked calmly.
"In the Old World, we should be the only one." Degiko shook his bull's head and replied in a not-quite affirmative tone: "However, it is rumored that in the primitive jungle south of the New World, there may be some troll tribes who still believe in my master, but it is too far away to prove it."
"You mean the trolls in the South Continent?" Renne was a little confused.
The New World is actually composed of two continents, one north and one south, and there is a narrow continental bridge that is as narrow as a streamer.
The new continent that people often say usually refers to the Northern continent, which is "North Jones". In the last era, the elves and dwarves developed brilliant civilizations on both sides of the Northern continent respectively, and later destroyed them in the abyss and invaded.
The Southern Continent has always been covered by vast and primitive forests, with many dangers, complex terrain and difficult to penetrate deep, and has never been developed by humans, elves or dwarves. According to some explorers, there are many troll tribes hidden in the primeval forests of the Southern Continent, and there is an ancient troll empire. It has been tens of thousands of years since the First Age, but it has never been proven.
Rennes has also heard of these rumors, but he doesn't know whether it is true or not.
"When my Lord Anse had not fallen, his main believers were trolls, and some of the taurens, elves and humans." Degiko said as he walked: "You must know that my Lord Anse was born in the prehistoric era, and at that time, Alanus was still a world of trolls."
"When the trolls established the first era, several troll kingdoms served my lord."
"When He fell, it was the middle of the Second Age, the era of giants and dragons. The troll civilization had long collapsed, the empire was divided, and countless trolls were driven to the remote corner of Alan Ershi and survived in a harsh and wilderness."
“It is not surprising that some unknown troll tribes maintain their faith in my Lord.”
"I met a desert troll tribe in Atas that believed in my Lord. Unfortunately, they degenerated into a semi-wise race, leaving only a small amount of traditional instincts, and there is no real faith."
Dejiko's face was full of helplessness and regret when he said this.
Renne nodded without saying a word.
He looked at the obelisks on both sides and over again, there were more than 80 people collecting the power of faith, and there were still a lot of power of faith, and they were transporting to the pyramids at all times.
From this we can see that in addition to the Sun Chaser tribe, there must be believers of the God of the Scalming Sun.
Rennes could not accurately estimate how many of these survivors were. It was speculated that between 200,000 and 3 million, even if calculated in the smallest number, it was not a small number. So many believers could not be unknown in the Old Continent. The biggest possibility was the rumored troll tribes in the Central and Southern Continent or races in other planes.
"No wonder the God of the Sun has hope of resurrection."
"wrong!"
Ren suddenly reacted.
It is more difficult for the resurrection of gods than for mortals to be called gods. In the history of the gods of Alan Os, there are only a handful of gods who have successfully resurrected them. Each of them has a miracle and is almost unreplicable.
After the fall of most gods, they disappeared into the long river of time and were silent again.
For example, Moradin, the "god of forging and crafts" of the dwarves, fell in the last era, and there are still a large number of dwarves who maintain their faith in Him and insist on praying every day. Even though the dwarves have declined now, Moradin's believers are definitely more than ten times more than the God of the Scarlet Sun, but Moradin shows no sign of resurrection.
For comparison, the fire of faith of his friend Zoltan was almost extinguished and silent, and the situation was much worse than that of the God of the Scarlet Sun.
The same fallen god, the more remnants, the more Moradin's resurrection is hopeless;
But the God of the Sun, who has fewer believers, can respond to prayers. Even if His response is problematic, the situation is much better than Moradin. What is He based on?
There must be amazing secrets hidden in the pyramid!
After moving forward for several miles, the team finally arrived at the end of the stone path and came to the foot of the pyramid.
The entire tower stands on a huge platform. There are hundreds of stone steps between the platform and the stone path. Following the steps up, you will reach the base platform, which is like climbing a flat mountain top square.
The pyramid in front of me is made of countless huge stones, each of which is more than five meters long, and is neatly built, and it is built up one by one, forming a slope. The four slopes gather at the top of the tower, only a few dozen meters away from the dome, as if within reach.
The team continues to move forward, the closer it is to the pyramid, the more you can feel its grandeur and shock.
Looking up at the pyramid, everyone felt a sense of insignificance.
Rennes was shocked.
This is taller, larger and more spectacular than the largest pyramid in the previous life. The dome here is higher than the channel exit, exceeding 300 meters, which means that the height of the pyramid is close to 300 meters, twice the height of the largest pyramid in the previous life, and its volume reaches more than four times!
The entrance of the pyramid is facing the direction of the passage, coming up from the steps, and there are also obelisks on both sides, which are taller than the obelisks below.
Renne's eyes swept past, and there were more than a dozen of them running in the obelisk above.
He also found the stone pillar totem corresponding to the Sun Chaser tribe, but Degiko himself had no idea and walked past the obelisks.
Finally, the group came to the entrance of the pyramid.
This is a twenty-meter-high stone door, with exquisite patterns engraved on it, depicting the miracle of Anse, the god of scorching sun. There are two tall stone statues standing on the left and right of the gate. Their appearance should be a divine servant, wearing armor, holding a spear, and closing their eyes as if praying.
"Lord, we're here."
Degiko turned around and looked at Renn, lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the gods behind the door, and said, "Open this door, inside is my lord's mausoleum."
"Have you tried it?" Renn asked, looking at the heavy stone gate.
"Of course, countless times." Dejiko heard Rennes's meaning clearly, walked to the door, pressing his huge palm on the door to inject the power of the holy light.
Bang!
With a light sound, a layer of light appeared on the stone gate and bounced the Tauren's hand away. At the same time, a beam of sunlight appeared in the air and shone on his head.
Dejiko obviously knew that he would be attacked, but he did not try to dodge, allowing the light column to shoot on his bull's head. The newly opened holy light barrier collapsed instantly and let out a muffled groan.
His face showed pain, and it was obvious that this beam of light was not feeling well.
Renn watched the whole process very carefully.
That layer of magic protection is stimulated by the runes on the door, and its energy comes from the inside of the pyramid. The falling beam is the counterattack ability of the protective magic circle, which is equivalent to the seventh-ring spell, that is, Dejiko is a legendary high-level sun walker, and has extremely high resistance to the power of the holy light. If it is a legend with a slightly weaker strength, it has been burned to ashes by the light beam.
Dejiko recovered and smiled bitterly: "As long as someone touches the door, it will trigger the counterattack of the 'Yang Flame Light' and cannot escape it at all."
"So you didn't want to avoid it." Rennes suddenly realized.
"Yes, and the greater the pressure or energy applied to the door, the greater the power of the Sun Flame Light." Degiko was very helpless. Seeing Ren approaching the door, he reached out and quickly advised: "Lord, don't try it easily."
Before he finished speaking, Renn pressed his hand against the door.
He did not inject soul power or other energy, but just exerted force, as if he wanted to push open this door.
Buzz...
The heavy stone gate trembled and made a huge sound. The rune magic array on the door was immediately activated, shining with dazzling light, causing the tauren who was watching the movement here to subconsciously close his eyes or turn his head.
A large beam of light fell from the sky and shone on the top of Renne's head like lightning.
Dejiko was shocked.
This is the most terrifying "Sun Flame Light" he has ever seen, at least above the eighth ring, or even close to the Nine Ring spell.
However, the next moment, Rennes disappeared.
The sunlight shone on the ground, leaving a charred black spot without causing any damage. With a snap, Renn's figure turned into lightning and returned to the door, carefully observing the runes on the door.
"Lord..." Dejiko was dumbfounded.
Renn turned his head and smiled, "I just tried it a little. This protective magic array is very clever and powerful, and it is very different from the current magic system. If it was more than 10,000 years ago, I would have no choice but to use it, but more than 10,000 years have passed..."
Dejiko's eyes lit up, full of hope.
"After such a long time, no matter how powerful magic protection is, problems will inevitably arise. As long as it finds out its loopholes, I can crack it." Ren said calmly, looking confident.
"Very good!"
Dejiko was overjoyed. He did not have much expectations for Rennes, and placed his hope on Rennes's teacher, that is, the Holy Soul Wizard.
Renn changed his words and said, "But it will take some time for me to crack it."
"How long will it take?" Dejiko hurriedly asked.
"Ten to fifteen days." Renn thought for a while before giving the answer.
The joy on Dejiko's face froze, and he said with a frown: "Our food and water may not last for so long."
"I have also stored some food and water here, which should be enough to save some use." Rennes took out a large amount of supplies from the Nebula Ring, which was originally for food for himself in case of emergencies and could allow himself to eat alone for half a year.
To be continued...
