"If it is said that someone has brought us back to the past, I definitely don't believe it."
Looking at everything in front of and behind them, the two were silent for a few seconds before Jenkins said this, and Alexia also added:
"It's an illusion, and it's a very clever illusion."
She stretched her hand forward, and the mottled color blocks floated in the air as the palm passed by, but in the next second, it returned to the city street scene again.
"Although the power of that machine and mine are different in nature, they manifest in similar ways. It seems that the thing that creates illusions wants us to enter this city."
Alexia said lightly, without feeling any pressure.
"Probably thousands of years, it becomes too boring, so weave such an illusion."
Jenkins looked at everything in front of him and sighed, stretched out his palm, and four ice chess pieces automatically emerged from the spirit. Throwing it casually, the chess piece fell to the ground. As the icy blue light shines sequentially, the swordsman, knight, astrologer, and priest who knelt on one knee and greeted Jenkins appeared beside Jenkins.
They had lost the humanity they had had when they challenged Jenkins in front of the palace, and had become fully manipulated puppets. Jenkins guessed that the soul to which the chess pieces belonged had returned to the world of [Lord of Winter], leaving only the chess pieces corresponding to the power.
"Go."
He gave a very simple order, and then the chess pieces got up and walked towards the city, and disappeared from sight after a while.
Jenkins shared a blurred vision of the pieces with his eyes closed, and both the cat and Alexia looked at him curiously. Not long after, the young man opened his eyes, scooped the air, and four chess pieces appeared in the palm of his hand again.
"coming."
He said this, turned around and picked up Alexia and jumped up. Almost in the next second, a scorching red ray flew from a distance, leaving a trail of white smoke on the ground under their feet. nicks.
"The ice field at the beginning was not an illusion, but it was not the complete truth either. I saw it through the eyes of the chess pieces. The cube itself was completely sealed. It could only affect its surrounding area. It was in the Seduce us."
When he jumped up, Jenkins was holding Alexia, and after jumping up, Alexia was flying with Jenkins.
After getting the prompt from Jenkins, Alexia took Jenkins directly to an extremely high altitude. And as they moved away from the ground, the illusion of the city disappeared little by little, and the snow field reappeared under their feet. At the same time, the densely packed bronze chains that could not be observed on the ground also appeared in the field of vision.
The huge silver cube was not floating in the air at all, but was locked in the center of the plain by thirteen thick chains that were constantly wriggling.
The chain constitutes the main body of the seal, and together with the engraved ceremony below the snow surface, it has faithfully sealed this metal for nearly ten thousand years.
But time will change everything. Jenkins believes that at the beginning of the seal, the sealed thing cannot exert any influence on the outside world, but now it can use illusions and active attacks.
"I don't think we can completely destroy it. What the First Men couldn't do, I don't think we can either."
Alexia observed it for a while before saying regretfully.
"I think so."
Jenkins also admits this. Although he has eliminated many similar things so far, it is all due to restraint or accident. With his current hard power, he still can't easily destroy the thing below... He doesn't even know what it is.
"Then let's find the treasure that the goblin mentioned in the book first. It seems to be mentioned in the mural just now."
Jenkins suggested.
Alexia held him and flew to a higher altitude. After confirming that he could not be affected by the cube under her feet, she began to look for places where the treasure might be hidden in the snow field.
It should be said that goblins are more reliable than those mischievous elves. Looking around, Jenkins found a completely different spiritual light from the sealed object in the northern part of the snowfield, and only after landing did he find that it was a small altar sitting alone in the snowfield.
Jenkins, who was an apprentice in an antique shop, immediately recognized that this was an ancient altar used to pray for safety and the blessing of the gods. There are similar buildings in the complex.
There are usually hidden compartments and secret rooms at the bottom of this kind of altar to place sacrifices, and if there are no gods to respond to the call of humans, the latecomers can naturally take those things if they are bold and not worried about being cursed.
It took Jenkins and Alexia a lot of work to find the entrance to the bottom chamber. In the small space of less than 100 square feet (about 9.2 square meters), the most conspicuous thing is the metal plate lying in the center.
I don't know what kind of alloy formula is used for this metal plate, and there is no trace of oxidation after so many years. The front of the metal plate bears incised three paragraphs of text, the first of which uses letters unknown to Jenkins and Alexia, but the second and third are barely translatable and later found to have the same meaning .
"In other words, this is written three times in different languages. Is it because the text itself may be lost? Sure enough, it is reserved for the latecomers."
This is not very unexpected. In the seals that seal indestructible monsters or more terrifying things like this, there are often messages left by the sealers, which can be used as hints and references for later generations. After roughly translating the words on the alloy metal plate in front of me, the meaning is almost as follows:
[The moon of fire in 1888 in the fifteenth era, we had to seal 'it'. Ayr City is over, everyone is crazy, I should have known it was a trap, the merchant who brought 'it', it was the mad poet, I thought it would all be new poetry.
I will use the last resort left by the Orthodox Church before this area is sealed off to seal 'it'. I don't know how many years this means lasts, but hopefully it won't cause trouble for newcomers to the land.
I hope you who read these words can forgive me, I can't tell you too much information, because 'it' can calculate everything, I can't even tell you the specific model of 'it'.
But remember, latecomers, "they" are not singular, and the dreams at night gave me a deep glimpse into what happened in older times. "They" are monsters and nightmares born of human intellect, terrible miracles born of gears and steam. Everything that happened in Ayer City is just the power of one of "them", a disaster after being used by that mad poet, latecomer, if you are confident that you can solve the thing that was sealed by us, then please bring this secret room The "weapon" in the book, I hope it can help you; if you can't solve all this, please take the gift I left you and leave, and then tell the Church of Orthodox God what you have seen and heard here.
Sorry, latecomers, there is no treasure here, but a monster that destroyed my hometown.]
