The elves are not the natives of the Maja continent, but they were once the largest number of foreign immigrants. Of course, that was a long time ago. I don't know how much time has passed by now. The once prosperous elves have withered to the point where only white elves are left. The other elf races either disappeared completely, or they hid in the deep mountains and forests and did not communicate with the outside world, or they became the minions of the devil.
Standing in front of this elf temple, Ye Ci looked around, looking at the ruins that could barely see the edge, it was not difficult to imagine how brilliant the crystal wall was before the elf family collapsed. Since the death of the last elf king, Dole, the elf family has been torn apart, and this huge and brilliant elf temple has completely lost its former splendor. ruins.
However, although this place has become a ruin, standing here can still vaguely feel its sacredness.
Ye Ci shuttled back and forth on this huge ruin, and recorded various details here on the map.
. Fortunately, because this is the elf temple, even if it has become a ruin, it seems that all the monsters living in the Rocky Mountains are still afraid of the prestige here, so there are no monsters in the elf temple.
It's just that being so quiet and safe has made this piece of ruins feel desolate.
The former Elf Temple was a huge building complex with many houses. Although it is now in ruins, it is still not easy to find something. Ye Ci shuttled through some abandoned houses. The bow that I was looking for was fruitless, but I found many rusted boxes. These boxes were basically locked. Fortunately, Ye Ci had a master key in his hand, and opened them one by one. A big sweep.
These chests were once left by elven priests serving in the temple, and were likely objects they considered precious, perhaps. Before leaving, these elf priests also thought about coming back to get these things, but in the end they had no chance to return to the temple again. These boxes are left in the temple permanently. Continue to rust with the ruins of the temple. Until the arrival of Ye Ci.
Ye Ci found a lot of precious potions and some rare fruits from these boxes, but those precious fruits that used to have great effects are now shriveled due to the passage of time, and only those potions that are well sealed In the end, it has survived the passage of time. In addition to these consumables, there are some books, but most of them are corroded and shattered when touched. Ye Ci scoured so many boxes and only found a few books that could be used.
Most of these books record the history of Elven temples, as well as some obscure incantations, which are very ancient Elvish languages. Ye Ci has not yet found an NPC who learns this language, and it is not easy to read it. I can only vaguely recognize some symbols, and what I put together is just something similar to a song, and I don't know what effect it will have after reading it out.
After spending a lot of time in these houses, Ye Ci finally found the main building of the Elf Temple. This is a huge gravel rubble, and there are still some columns and roofs scattered on it. On these remaining columns and foundations, there are many symbols that Ye Ci is familiar with - four-leaf clover. This is an ancient elf emblem, and it seems that this is the hall of the elf temple.
The emblem is a unique pattern that each race has, and each race is different. For example, griffins for humans, holy swords for dwarves, ribs for undead, and so on. The emblem is a very noble symbol in the race, it only appears on very important buildings, weapons, equipment and some utensils. It's like the four-leaf clover of the elf emblem. The leaf word has only been seen on the clothes of high-level elves. Other ordinary elves are not worthy of having such an emblem.
And here, the emblem of the four-leaf clover is everywhere. It can be seen that in the eyes of the elves, how important this temple is, even a floor tile is a treasure that people pay attention to.
.
Ye Ci walked through the overgrown square and soon walked to the ruins of the Elf Temple. However, when she looked around, she couldn't find the door to enter the ruins. The place that used to be the door was completely blocked by bricks and rubble, making it impossible for people to enter. Ye Ci stood at the door of the ruins and raised her brows. It seemed that God was destined to prevent her from entering here from the main entrance. She could only see if she could enter from other places.
After walking around the ruins a few times, she finally found an entrance in a corner, but the entrance was very low and not big. There is an iron railing above the entrance, but after so many years, the iron railing has long been rusted and rusted out, Ye Ci just raised his leg and moved towards the iron railing. With a slight kick, it shattered into several pieces and fell into the mouth.
Walking in from the entrance, it is a staircase extending downwards. The sun can't shine through the dense leaves and enter this staircase, so Ye Ci can only go down. Fortunately, the elf's night vision ability is good. After she is familiar with the dark light, she can easily see the environment inside the entrance.
Obviously, this is a sewer, although the entire temple has been in disrepair for a long time, but the sewer has not collapsed, but there is no such a large amount of water, leaving only shallow water on the slate. While Ye Ci was running fast in this sewer, she vigilantly sensed the surroundings. As long as there was any trouble, she could immediately launch the most deadly attack.
However, there is obviously still the divine power of the god of nature worshipped by this elf, and it is also quite feared by all the monsters in the Rocky Mountains. Ye Ci did not find any monsters in the sewers. It's just that the road here is really tortuous, and the road is also very confusing. Ye Ci hit the wall several times before finding the intersection.
Climbing up from the sewers, the first person to enter is the third underground floor of the Elf Temple, which should have been the storage room of the elves. There are about fifty rooms in the huge first floor, but each room is on the top. Lock, Ye Ci only opened the doors of the three rooms that had been rusted beyond appearance. She found a lot of food inside. She couldn't open all the other rooms, not even the master key. The only way, she can only give up the plan to search all the houses.
Follow the road all the way to the second floor. The second floor should be the residence of the elves who used to serve in the temple. There are many rooms, and the layout of the rooms is similar, with bookshelves, desks, and simple beds. However, the books on the bookshelf have long since turned into ashes, leaving only the empty bookshelf, desk and the bed. But these are all made of wood. When Ye Ci reached out and touched it, these things turned to ashes in an instant.
. Nothing of value was found on this floor, so Ye Ci could only go to the first floor.
There are several huge rooms on the first floor, but there are also iron generals hanging on the rooms. Not only that, these beautifully shaped doors have not become dilapidated due to the passage of time, but are just like newly built, but these doors are covered with a lot of dust, and there are many similar magic circles on these doors. the same thing. Ye Ci tried to use the master key to open the locks. The locks could be opened, but she got the news that the door could not be opened because of the seal. She could only give up the idea.
Leaving the first underground floor, and walking up to the first floor above ground, this is the huge ruin that can be seen from the outside. From the outside, it is already dilapidated, and it is not much better from the inside to the outside. go. After passing through the huge corridor, I came to the inner court. The inner court was also a dilapidated scene, with dust and spider webs everywhere, but Ye Ci was attracted by the deepest scene as soon as he entered the inner court. There was a holy altar, spotless on it, and in front of the altar stood a seven-hole golden lampstand with huge white candles burning on it.
It was as if the elf temple had never fallen into disrepair, and the cleanliness on the altar was incompatible with the dilapidation in the inner court. The most eye-catching is the huge elf statue behind the holy platform, which is the goddess of nature worshiped by the elf family. As for Ye Ci, all her attention was on the bow in the hands of the goddess of nature.
It was an unpretentious bow, like a weapon used by the most common rookie in the novice village. But Ye Ci knows that this is not the whole truth. The more precious things in the world are, the more ordinary their appearance is. This will also make many people who only pay attention to appearance and these things miss out.
Everyone knows that you can't measure a person by appearance, but often everyone can't escape such a cycle. They always like to believe in the beautiful things they see in front of them, and disdain the ordinary and simple things.
Ye Ci thought, this thing is probably like this.
She walked to the edge of the altar, stood in front of the altar, looked up at the statue of the goddess of nature, and felt more and more feminine. Ye Ci looked at the statue for a while, and began to think of the actual problem, that is, how would he take off the bow on such a tall statue? Climb up or hook down with cat claws
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Ci decided to climb up by himself. After all, using cat claws might destroy this sculpture, which is really a pity.
However, when Ye Ci decided to climb up and take action, the system prompted: "You cannot pass through the barrier." (To be continued)
