Looking around, Joshua saw nothing worth paying attention to except the statue of the Seven Gods of Mankind that seemed to have been renovated in front of the hall. This was an ordinary church with wooden seats, stained glass and fine details. Although the murals and statues are a little old, they are very clean and there is no dust: "The prayer hall is still the same, but it doesn't feel dirty at all. Is someone cleaning it?"
The seven statues in front of the hall mean that this place does not worship any particular god, but believes in all seven gods of mankind. Joshua can see that this is the most widely spread faith temple on the road - After all, for the people, it is definitely better to believe in seven than to believe in only one.
"I've been here..."
After thinking for a while, Joshua patted the wooden chair next to him with his right hand and asserted: "There was a time when I was a child, and my father would bring me here every Sunday."
In the past, Joshua would have simply thought that his father was more religious, but now it seems that there must be some secret behind it. He frowned and recalled seriously: "At that time, he would go to a room in the side hall alone every time. Leave me alone to play with the knights, there must be a secret inside."
Doing what he thought of, Joshua walked towards the side hall room that he still had an impression of. Passing through the altar and the confessional, he came to the dark side hall with no windows, and walked to the door of the room on the left in the middle. Joshua felt the heat on the back of his hand again.
"It seems this is the right place."
After trying it, he found that the door was not locked. He opened the door and entered the room. At a glance, Joshua found that the closed room was unexpectedly not dark.
This is a private study room. The floor is black granite, and there are some stones emitting golden light as light sources on the ceiling. They should be fluorite fragments. The four walls are surrounded by huge bookcases, and in the center is a piece of Feiyun wood. Looking at the desk, Joshua couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice, with some emotion: "The fluorite fragments are okay, but Feiyun wood is a high-grade wood that coexists with the Fuyue dragon. Its texture is enough to be used as a weapon, but it is actually used Make a desk…”
Now was not the time to worship rich people. He used the light of the fluorite fragments to roughly observe the surroundings, and it didn't take long for him to find clues.
"There are cracks in the floor."
The legendary warrior's eyes are so sharp. Even though his strength is no longer what it used to be, his observation ability is still strong. In addition, players are already good at scraping the ground to find clues. Joshua found the obvious flaw on the floor with great proficiency: "Although It’s well concealed, but the wear and tear caused by frequent opening cannot be removed.”
Stretching out his hand, the warrior was ready to test if there were any switches or traps around him. However, the moment his hand touched this special granite floor, a magic pattern suddenly flashed on its surface. Just before Qiao Xiuya thought he had triggered a trap, and when he was about to retreat, a low and dull machine sound sounded.
"Energy detection... The frequency band matches, target: Joshua Van Radcliffe, the first heir to the family, the highest authority sequence, the door is open."
"Origined from fire, born from steel, wisdom is immortal and order lasts forever."
Following the ancient praise, the black rock slowly opened up, revealing a narrow passage leading underground in front of Joshua, but he paused and did not go in immediately. Joshua frowned and began to remember. The origin of this compliment.
In the late third edition of the Continent of Strife, in the new map Star Boundary Void, there was a very difficult public dungeon. Its full name is called [The Ancient Sacrificial Site that Connects Ten Thousand Realms]. Players generally refer to it as the Sacrificial Ground of Ten Thousand Realms. In the core area of this public copy, there is a huge obelisk tower. There is a stone tablet at the entrance with many inscriptions written in ancient characters.
The previous praise came from it.
Legend has it that before the world existed in ancient times, the entire multiverse was a void, with nothing but indescribable chaos crawling in silence.
However, fire arises from nothing, illuminates the void, and distinguishes existence and nothingness, order and chaos, light and darkness. This fire is the original source of all things. It gives power to all existence, allowing chaos to retreat and matter to appear. This This is the origin of the world in which all things live today.
Fire burned away the chaos, and the remaining residue was steel. With the strengthening of order, life was gradually born. All things got soul and wisdom from fire, and body and strength from steel, including human beings. one.
Relying on fire, people name everything without names, summarize laws and logic, perfect order, and determine the value and significance of all things. People use the hope, persistence and enthusiasm brought by fire to develop this wild world, and steel is created The beginning is also the source of power. It is born of fire, but it is pure because of people. People use bones, stones, bronze and steel to cast tools and weapons to deal with all disasters, battles and disputes. People use steel to bring calmness and reason. He Kulie, handles all problems and judges all sins that should be judged.
Originated from fire, born from steel, wisdom is immortal and order lasts forever.
This is the earliest and only creation myth known to players in the Continent of Disputes. Even the seven gods of the human race and the gods of other races have not refuted this statement. Joshua also saw textual research analysis in the game forum back then. However, he had no interest in this mythical masterpiece and had never clicked on it at all.
Hearing this sentence here really surprised him. After all, the current mainstream belief is the Seven Gods of the human race. The worship of the Prime Fire and the Origin Steel has long retreated, and traces of them can only be seen in ancient books.
"I remember that the mages of the White Tower have demonstrated that magic comes from the remnants of the original fire in the multiverse, and fighting spirit is the condensation of the power of the origin steel in the body of every living being."
Joshua stared at the passage, and then walked straight down.
There was nothing to worry about. He was going to go down no matter what. In this case, there was no need to hesitate.
The passage leading to the underground was not long. Every once in a while, there would be shimmering fluorite fragments embedded in the walls, providing light. Not long after, Joshua arrived at the bottom, in an empty hall. .
In the center of the hall is a huge statue. It is a giant hand holding a hammer and wrapped around a black snake. The power contained in it makes people feel that this giant hand will swing the hammer and strike the earth in the next moment.
On the four sides of the hall, there are many rooms, which contain many instruments commonly used by alchemists and mages. There are even extremely expensive things like crystal forging tables and elemental furnace cores, which make people feel like they have come to the Great Alchemy. However, only the passage directly in front attracted Joshua. He had a hunch that at the end of the dimly shining passage, there was a being calling him to come.
Joshua walked quickly towards the front. The passage was deep and dark, with no light except in front of him. But after a while, his eyes suddenly became clear.
A huge and complete piece of fluorite hung above the room at the end of the passage. The unique smell of rust from steel hit his face. Even Joshua squinted his eyes slightly. After he got used to it, he opened his eyes and observed the room carefully. .
"What's this… "
Questioning in confusion, Joshua looked at the room again.
In the underground chamber under the cemetery church, there are countless weapons stuck in the ground. Among them are knives, guns, big swords and giant axes, and even flails and cross hammers. But one thing is the same, that is, they They were all very old and worn, with countless traces of rust on their bodies.
Among hundreds of weapons on the verge of decay, Joshua felt that this place was a grave, a grave of weapons, but for some reason, two weapons attracted his attention.
A giant sword, and a giant axe.
