Spiral steps lead directly to the ground floor.
The width of the steps was just enough for two people to walk side by side. Rody and the king slowly walked down the steps. Although there were no torches lighting the way, the design here seemed to be worthy of being called "the biggest secret of Sauron's royal family." , from the moment the two took the first step up the stairs, bright gems emitted a soft light on the handrails on both sides of the spiral staircase.
Roddy immediately realized - this is a magic circle similar to lighting magic!
The steps actually went all the way down. According to Rody's calculations, it took a long time to walk. At this speed, the depth of this secret underground place would be amazing.
In fact, as Rody walked along, he was also counting the number of steps in his mind. When he secretly counted "three hundred and thirty-three" in his heart, he finally saw the ground below - the steps had reached the end!
The king smiled and opened his hands, as if he was very proud: "Welcome to the 'House of the Holy King'!"
In front of him was an arch-shaped door. The king suddenly smiled and said: "Your Excellency Rody, please knock on the door!"
Rody frowned, but still stretched out his hand and lightly knocked on the door twice...
The huge stone door slowly opened on both sides. To Rody's surprise, there were two rows of fully armored warriors standing inside the door!
Although there were not many of them, they all wore a kind of armor that made Roddy feel a little weird. The style of the armor was similar to the current Roland Knight's armor, but it only covered the most critical parts...
Rody's heart moved...the armors of these people were somewhat similar to the female paladin of the dragon tribe that he saw that day.
The only difference is that these people all wore helmets, completely covering their faces.
The king was not polite and took the lead in leading him in!
After walking into this stone door, Roddy felt as if he had truly entered a world full of surprises...
This is an absolute miracle!
You can't see the end of the entire space at a glance. Various sculpture towers are right in front of you. Each of the huge stone sculptures is more than ten meters tall, showing various shapes. They wear armor full of simple meanings and have complex expressions. Serious and dignified.
"These are the ancestors of the Shaka royal family!" the king introduced solemnly, then lowered his head slightly and walked slowly over.
Nearby is a huge underground fortress-like place, with a city wall ranging from one to seven or eight meters high lying in front of it! Under the city wall is a "moat"!
When Roddy walked across the suspension bridge, he couldn't help but look under the moat and saw a "river" glowing with silver!
"This is a moat. The ancestors dug the trench and then poured mercury into it!" The king said proudly: "This kind of strange poison can kill humans! As long as a person falls into the river and accidentally chokes, A mouthful of water will kill you!"
After walking through the city wall, Rody was surprised to find that this place was completely a military fortress! In this secret underground ruins, there are actually dozens of fully armored warriors standing on the city walls! Although there are not many people, it is enough for a city wall of only a few dozen meters!
Nearly a hundred meters deep underground, there is such a cave. Even Rody couldn't help but look strange!
Looking at the warriors on the city wall, the king sighed: "These warriors are carefully selected. The most elite ones are from the Sauron royal family! Each of them has a strength comparable to the 'Holy Knights'! For Sauron, The Royal Family of Lun is absolutely loyal. And they have been sent here since they were young, in this dark place! Everyone can die for the Royal Family at any time!" At this point, the king sighed: "What a pity. , It’s really hard to find such people now, the entire ‘Guardian Knights of the Holy King’s Palace’ only has three thousand people now. This is the last absolutely trustworthy force of Sauron’s royal family!”
Rody also sighed in his heart: In such an underground world, there is such an army. You can imagine how such an army is trained and selected...
Within the city wall, Rody couldn't help but look up at the sky. What surprised him was that there should be a stone wall above his head, but when he looked around, he saw stars and the moon! ! The sky was so real that Roddy couldn't help but think that this place was simply an open-air night...
The king explained: "The sky above is an illusion created by magic, with the cycle of day and night."
Rody sighed: "What a big deal!"
Guo Wan smiled slightly: "It took the Shaka royal family hundreds of years to build this place!"
The surrounding stone houses are completely arranged according to the pattern of a military fortress. Rody can clearly feel that if the city wall outside is breached, the defenders can use these stones to build as if Layers of resistance!
And the innermost part is actually... another palace that has shrunk a bit!
The palace was built entirely out of large blocks of black stone! There was no warrior defense this time. Rody and the king walked directly in - but Rody would not be so naive as to think that there would be no defense here. With his strength, he could clearly feel the faint murderous aura coming from all directions.
The king said calmly: "If someone breaks in without my guidance, I'm afraid they will have been shot into an arrow target before they reach this door! 'Guardian Knights of the Holy King's Palace', except for those warriors you saw In addition, there are magicians! Although the individual strength of those magicians is not outstanding, the Shaka royal family has long mastered a trick that can combine the power of magicians to greatly increase their lethality! Even the Paladin can kill him!" At this point, the king seemed to look at Roddy intentionally or unintentionally.
Rody's heart moved: Combine the power of magicians... Then, isn't it the legendary 'combination magic'
After entering the small palace inside, Roddy discovered that the doors of every room in the palace were closed.
"The people living here are basically high-level guardian knights and magicians. Those magicians always have weird personalities, so they are generally not willing to meet people." The king smiled slightly.
Rody sighed: "With this power, if we follow the king's sneak attack plan, we can conquer the dwarves! Why does your majesty need me to live with you?"
The king smiled slightly and continued to lead Roddy in.
In the main hall of the palace, the hall is completely bright! The walls are inlaid with various strange gems of different sizes, and the various rays of light are mixed together, illuminating the entire hall like daylight!
Inside the main hall, there are seven or eight human-shaped stone sculptures erected on both sides! The sculptured figures have different postures, some are sitting and some are standing, and the expressions on their faces are also different, whether they are happy or sad, laughing or angry, and each of them is wearing a uniform style of robe-like clothes. The clothes were very strange, without any extra decoration. Almost everyone wore a robe, tied with a simple belt, and wore a strange "hat".
Rody could only describe it as a "hat", because it was basically a garland-like thing woven from unknown plants and put on his head.
"That's a thing called 'olive leaf'! That plant can no longer be found!" The king smiled: "These are the great ancestors of our royal family in the Shaka Empire! In the ancient Shaka Empire, the emperor There is no crown! The corolla made of olive leaves is the crown! According to ancient legend, the meaning of olive leaves is peace!”
The king's smile was somewhat solemn, and he pointed to the largest statue in front of the hall. It was an old man with long hair, and his face was solemn and a bit vicissitudes of life. His upper body was naked, and the robe was simply tied under his waist. The muscles on his chest were clearly shaped, and his eyes were looking ahead. Maybe it was Roddy's illusion, but he couldn't help but feel that the muscles on his chest were clearly sculpted. There is a bit of sadness in the eyes...
The king sighed: "That was the first emperor of the Shaka Empire! He was also my great ancestor!"
After the king said this, he slowly walked to the stone throne under the statue, sat down, and said in a low voice: "In my name, call my subjects!"
"Shajia!" A low chorus echoed from both sides of the hall at the same time!
Rody was slightly startled. He had already faintly felt a trace of magic fluctuations. He understood that those responding sounds were caused by magic.
Immediately, an old man shrouded in robes walked in from underneath the hall.
"Your Majesty!" The old man lowered his head.
The king looked at Rody and smiled: "This is the leader of the 'Guardian Knights' of the Shaka royal family! He is also the person I trust the most!" At this point, the king smiled, and he seemed to smile very strangely. With three points of pride: "He has another identity, which no one knows except me... the leader of the Roland Continent Magician Association! The Sith Master!!"
Looking at the old man below who had his head lowered and remained calm, Roddy had really changed his color!
The leader of the Magician Association!
This Sauron royal family... Well, no, it should be said to be a descendant of the royal family of the Shaka Empire. How much power has it penetrated? How many forces
Rody sneered: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Sauron royal family has mastered a lot of power. Under such circumstances, do you still need me?"
The king frowned but said nothing. It was Sith who spoke: "Mr. Roddy, the Magician Association may seem powerful, but it is actually a very loose organization. Even the president of the Magician Association is only honored in name and cannot command. The full power of the Magician Association... All I can do is to do my best to cultivate more talents for Your Majesty... "
The king sighed, and then whispered: "Master Sith, Mr. Roddy is the first person to come here as a guest! I think you must have arranged the first program to entertain him, right?"
Sis' face was expressionless and he said calmly: "As per your instructions, it has been arranged!"

"This kid Rody, I don't know what he is doing now." Tianlie leaned lazily on a long chair and stretched out. What he was lying on was actually the emperor's throne!
Andy sat cross-legged on the floor. He closed his eyes and said slowly, "Are you worried about him?"
Tian Lie glared at Andy: "Worried about him? In this world, even if everyone dies, he probably won't die!"
Andy finally opened his eyes, but just rolled his eyes: "Then what are you worried about?"
Tian Lie didn't pay attention, but whispered to himself: "I think the guys from Roland Temple have already caused trouble for him..."
Andy suddenly smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Tian Lie shook his fat head and jumped up from the chair like a potato: "Old Skeleton, aren't you worried? The Roland Temple is not that easy to deal with. After all, there are still a few paladins. … besides… "
Andy sighed: "When did you become so verbose? If there is anything else, please tell me."
Tian Lie's expression seemed strange: "Roland Continent is not as simple as imagined... A temple may not have much... However, it is the birthplace of the human world, and there are always many strange secrets there. Woolen cloth… "
Andy seemed to smile: "What about?"
Tian Lie closed his eyes and two words popped out of his mouth: "Shen Lu!"
He suddenly smiled again, the fat on his face squeezed together: "I remember back then...my old man...hehe...but it was because of that divine record..."
Andy frowned: "Shenlu? Are you talking about those nonsense about 'can't see the sky, can't see the earth, can't see people...'? You told me this last time, but I don't believe in those nonsense... God's Religion It’s just a big lie in itself... Humph."
Tian Lie sighed: "Yes, lies are indeed lies... But there are always some things that we cannot explain."
Andy suddenly stood up and frowned: "Damn fat man, is there anything else in your mind that you haven't told me?"
Tianlie shook his head: "No more... really no more... except... except one thing..."
"What?"
Tian Lie's voice seemed to be filled with nostalgia: "Back then, I once found a record in the ancient books of Roland Temple... It was about the 'Shen Lu'! And... there is also a secret that has been buried. ..." At this point, he suddenly smiled and said loudly: "But those are no longer important. Those things have been buried for thousands of years. Now we just need to pray that that boy Rody doesn't get into any trouble in Roland Continent. Already…”
Andy frowned and said, "What record? You never told me!"
Tian Lie seemed to think for a while: "Oh... let's not mention that record. Even if you read it, it will be in vain... because... because that record is not complete at all! No one can understand it. But... "
Andy said: "But what?"
Tian Lie chuckled. He walked to Andy's side, stretched out his big hand to pat Andy's shoulder, and laughed softly: "After I read the record, I was inspired and thought of a ridiculous story. Thoughts…”
"What?"
Tianlie sighed: "I've been thinking... if... I'm just saying if... if, this world was not created by God... God is not the creator, but just a conqueror... Hehe... Do you understand what I mean? Suppose this world originally belonged to mankind, and God just conquered mankind and told a big lie to future generations, saying that the world and mankind were created by God... "
Andy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Interesting! You fat man is so fucking interesting!" He suddenly changed his color and said: "Damn it, fat man, tell me, that ancient record you saw , what on earth is it?”
The fat man closed his eyes and murmured: "Nothing... it's war..."
"war?"
The fat man nodded: "That's a hypothesis. There is an ancient record hidden in the Roland Temple. There is a passage in it that confused me at first. However, hundreds of years have passed and I can't remember it very clearly... The sentence above is It says this: If there is another war between humans and gods..."
"Wait!" Andy suddenly shouted: "What did you say? What do you mean there's a war again?!"
The fat man spread his hands: "I don't know! I really don't know! That's what it says in the record! That's why I'm confused... Will there be a war between humans and the gods who created this world? That's a joke. Therefore, I guess, unless... God is not the creator of this world at all!"
"Joke..." The expression on Andy's face seemed to be smiling, but there was a bit of sadness in the smile: "What a joke... How many truths in the world that were later affirmed were regarded as such when they were born. It’s a joke…”
His eyes suddenly lit up: "The record you saw in the Roland Temple mentioned the divine record? It also mentioned the sentence "What if there is a war again?"
The fat man nodded.
Andy suddenly showed a strange smile: "Then, I guess, the so-called 'divine record' records a record of a war between humans and gods?"
A war between humans and gods
If the world and humans were created by gods, then why would there be a war between gods and humans
Fatty Tianlie laughed loudly when he thought of this. He pointed at Andy and laughed wildly: "I thought I was already very rebellious, but I didn't expect you to be crazier than me!!!"
Andy didn't laugh! There was no smile on his face. He stared at Tian Lie and said slowly: "Actually, it's very simple... No matter what you say, you damn fat guy, you are still a human being! So many times, you still can't escape from this world! You can't escape from that world." Circle... But I don't know how! So I can think more than you!" He said quietly: "Because I am not a human being at all!"
He looked at the fat man and smiled: "I am a bystander standing outside the circle!"
