After all, Kant learned quite a lot.
In the Academy of Lion Castle, after studying systematic subjects, he would choose to read other books.
Examples include historical biographies, regional travelogues, and the like.
These were Kant's favorites.
As a traveler, he must first understand the history and civilization of this world, so that he can roughly understand it in his heart, and then make corresponding measures to quickly improve his strength and reputation.
Of course, even if he has read a lot of books, doubts still exist at present.
This stems from information asymmetry.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the historical materials of the age of the gods were so scarce that they could only be imagined.
There is no way.
Even on the earth, for tens of thousands of years, only fragmented myths and legends can be passed down. Even if relics and a few fragmentary antiques are found, it is only guesswork that can draw a few conclusions.
Not to mention this feudal era, which was still in the period of cold weapons.
Without systematic archaeology, it is impossible to connect the results of archaeology, and it is also impossible to excavate the history hidden in time. This is undoubtedly a tragedy in archaeology and history.
is something any scholar would lament.
Just like Kant's teacher, the Hank scholar, is like this.
He spent decades, which could be called his whole life, just to find the lost city.
And this is the only one or two sentences in historical materials and myths, but it actually exists, but the truth is hidden in the dust of history, and there is no remnant history that can be found.
Kant can now be shown to be true.
Because the cave dungeon he is in now may have a great connection with the lost city.
But these are secondary.
The most important thing for Kant at present is to deal with the follow-up matters.
This majestic underground city built in the cave is already under his control.
Explore everything in the city, look for anything of value, and search for treasures that may be left over from ancient times. If Kant is willing, he can also choose to occupy this dungeon permanently.
After all, according to Kant's observation, it is still possible to live here.
Freshwater has underground rivers that flow uninterruptedly.
Living materials can be transported through rivers and riverside embankment roads.
The most important thing is the well-established houses and buildings in the city. According to Kant's current estimation, judging from the scale of the underground city, even a population of 5,000+ will have no problem at all.
This was indeed a small town in the feudal era.
You know, at the beginning of the Middle Ages on Earth, the population of London, the capital of England, was only 20,000+.
But the downside here is equally obvious.
Kant looked up and looked at the rock formation above his head, on which a large number of shimmering moss and fluorescent mushrooms grew.
Yingying's light is as gentle as a veil, releasing soft light, bathing the entire cave in light as soft as moonlight. The beauty is fascinating, and it seems to come from the comfort of the soul.
This seems to be the world of moonlight.
But this is the shortcoming, which made Kant hesitate.
Without sunlight, it means that planting cannot be done, and even aquaculture cannot be produced. Apart from relying on the river to develop fishery or transportation, there is no future at all. It can be said that Kant does not yet have the background to develop this cave dungeon, and he cannot even occupy it permanently. It can't be done, it can only be used as a refuge in a crisis.
But even if it is used as a refuge, the current "Aaron" village on the outskirts of the Sanvaya Mountains can also do it. After all, Kant's "Drehem" castle is currently extremely stable.
What's more, "Aaron" can be promoted from a village head to a town immediately.
If there are enemies, they can break through the "Drehem" castle, and then capture the "Aaron" town.
So what if you escape into this cave
Will he be hunted down? Continue to use Kant's irresistible strength to easily break through the defensive offensive of this dungeon. Even if he can't attack the dungeon without a large amount of material reserves, the siege can still besiege Kant and the others inside. Until death, there is no capital to resist at all!
Sighing slightly, Kant still gave up the idea of occupying this place. After all, it is indeed unable to develop this unproductive dungeon without any development prospects.
"My lord, there are no abnormalities around."
The Ravenston rangers who had dispersed to inspect the surrounding streets and houses returned.
His face looked relaxed, and he reported to Kangdehui: "The houses are all empty. It seems that this underground city should have been abandoned by the former residents long ago."
"Well, I see." Kant nodded.
In a dungeon that is sealed with demons, it is only natural to evacuate the residents.
Kant had already thought of this.
The ranger captain looked at the Mayan-shaped pyramid temple on the mountain, frowned and guessed: "Maybe we can find some valuable things there, I don't know why, in our minds, we all feel a little scared about the temple over there." This weird feeling reminds us of the Snake Cult of the Empire."
"Do you feel weird too?"
The mages who came over opened their mouths, nodded to Kant and said: "In that temple, positive energy and negative energy are very strong, and they are competing with each other. Maybe we should go and have a look."
"Is there any danger?" Kant asked with a frown.
"No." The mages replied: "We have not sensed any signs of life."
"That's good."
Kant beckoned to signal the surrounding soldiers to gather.
Together with the Swadian knights, they also dismounted and walked towards the end of the dungeon, the Mayan-style pyramid temple built against the mountain, gathered in line, and walked quickly.
They were extremely vigilant, but did not find anything unusual.
The central avenue has a width of 30 meters, and the houses on both sides can still vaguely see gorgeous carvings.
They are all the Sun Sacred Patterns that Kant is familiar with.
But if you look carefully, you can find that the sun saint patterns have now cracked.
And just before the door of the Pyramid Temple, a huge pit appeared in the ground, a huge stone coffin was completely lifted, and there were a lot of dark fleshy eggs around it.
But at this time, those meat and eggs had withered, as terrifying as a dead mummy.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The sound of arrows roared, and the rangers of Ravenston raised their bows solemnly.
There was the sound of falling to the ground in the shadow of a house not far away.
"There is a situation."
The Ranger spoke with a calm tone: "But everything has been resolved."
The Rhodok sergeants walked quickly towards the place where the sound was, entered the house that was already wide open, and pulled out a few little devils and horned devils with arrows in their eyes. Shen Shenghui reported: "They escaped Those demons are defeated!"
Kant glanced at it and said, "It's really not a threat."
Just a group of low-level demons.
Even if it reappears twice the size before, it will be torn to pieces by his current level 5 arms.
It can be said like this.
Level 5 arms became the pinnacle of human conventional combat power.
If you want to rise again, you may have to consider the mysterious extraordinary power.
And by that time, the upgraded arms can no longer be called level 5 arms, maybe the level will be higher, such as level 6 arms, level 7 arms in other magic mods, or even the top trump card arms of level 8, etc.!
As long as it conforms to the rules of this world, system mods can appear in this world.
Finished off the remaining lower demons.
Kant led the team to continue towards the Mayan-shaped pyramid.
The building built of huge stones has a humanoid statue close to 5 meters high at the top, also holding a sun disc made of gold, facing the tiny light at the top of the mountain, flashing a faint halo.
This is from the age of the gods and symbolizes the mighty power of the sun god.
The mages all became solemn.
Standing behind Kant, he clenched the staff in his hand and reminded softly: "A powerful god has come here before, and we can sense that the subtle divine power still remains in this temple. As a place where gods descend, certain rules have been permanently changed."
"So, is there any danger?" Kant frowned, he didn't like the gods.
"Don't worry, my lord, there is no danger here."
The mages continued: "The gods have been away for a long time, and the changed rules are about to be erased by time."
Kant nodded: "That's good."
Bringing a team to the temple this time is not about checking safety.
If there is anything, such as strange objects, artifacts, gold and other things, he will not be polite, he can pack them all away in minutes, and even if there is time, he will come across gems inlaid on stones and gold-plated walls. Willing to snap it off with a dagger or scrape it off and take it away.
The land of no man for thousands of years was occupied by the demon of the abyss, and then the dungeon that was seized by him, became his territory as it should be, and everything inside was his spoils of war.
Taking away his spoils, Kant has no psychological barriers.
It is impossible to have.
In a world where power is paramount, the glory of the gods has long since faded. Now whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.
Of course, judging from the current situation, Kant's fist is undoubtedly bigger.
Even the demons of the abyss fell before his troops.
"Safety!"
The Rhodoks sergeants who had scouted ahead waved.
"Let's go." Kant turned his head and looked at the houses on both sides that had been destroyed by the demons, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone cheer up, if you encounter abnormal situations, if there is no hostility or a fatal attack, you are not allowed Unauthorized attack." After a pause, Kant added in a deep voice: "Except for demons."
"Understood!" The Ravenston rangers behind nodded in reply.
This sentence is actually addressed to them.
The Rhodok sergeants in front and the Swadian knights in the back are all close combat fighters.
Focus on defense.
After discovering the enemy, these top archers are the first to attack.
The precision with which the arrow never misses is deadly.
If you encounter an unknown and powerful enemy, it would be really unfair to launch an attack first and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. At least Kant’s troops can’t bear too many losses. After all, Kant, who pursues too many elite soldiers, prefers to destroy and destroy. Enemy forces, instead of provoking powerful enemies, were targeted by Destroyed Raku.
But as long as you are cautious, you can threaten Kant's more than 300 enemies now. Unless there is an abyssal demon as powerful as Amenkirk, it will be a delivery.
Soon came to the front bottom of the pyramid.
In front of it is a ladder to the top along the way, about 80 meters, directly to the top of the pyramid.
Look up slightly.
Kant looked up at the dark portal at the top.
The main body of the temple is at the bottom of the stone statue. From bottom to top, you can just see the stone statue holding the sun disc in both hands looking down, just like looking at Kant and the others.
His heart was beating slightly, and Kant always felt very uncomfortable.
But at this moment.
A dialog box pops up on the retina.
[Ding...Temporary task release]
[Temporary task: search for the temple]
[Task Reward: Double Recruitment (Constant)]
[Task introduction: You have come to the foot of the temple, and found mysterious extraordinary fluctuations faintly emanating from it. You think that you may be able to find some treasures handed down from ancient times, and decide to enter the temple to search.]
Temporary tasks from the system.
Kant frowned slightly.
The current system is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, and it has some hints in it.
Since it is searching for the temple.
Then according to Kant's understanding of the system, there is definitely something in the temple!
After all, it is an indirect prompt given by the system.
Turning his head and winking at Sergeant Rhodok who was waiting on both sides, Kant raised his chin and said, "Go up, open the stone door, and report the situation after confirming that there is no danger."
"Understood." The ten Rhodok sergeants nodded and quickly walked up the stairs with their broad shields in hand.
Right at the top of the ladder.
The bottom of the two feet of the stone statue is the entrance to the temple blocked by a thick stone door.
At this time, Kant looked up at the nearly 5-meter stone statue.
In the temple in the mountain ruins, the huge 100-meter-high statue carved directly on the mountain is exactly the same in face, except for the different movements, the ancient armor and clothes on the body are very similar.
Perhaps this is the god descended from the lost city, the god they believed in, the sun god!
His face looks about 25 years younger.
The entire face is sculpted lifelike.
This technology is incomparable to modern humans. In Kant's impression, even the best dwarves are incomparable. Perhaps in the direction of making artworks, only the mysterious and strange elves on the coast of Mannheim can compare. But Kant did not believe that the stone statues they could carve were so lifelike.
It's like a real living thing that can get rid of this layer of rock anytime, anywhere.
"It doesn't feel right."
Kant frowned.
This condescending look down made him feel a little awkward.
Especially when he glanced at the indifferent eyes of the stone statue, it seemed to be stared at by the gods of the past.
However, the soldiers beside them did not feel this way. They stood in line and carefully guarded several intersections around them. Especially for the areas that had not been explored when they came, they clenched their weapons and shields and watched vigilantly. Abnormal situations will attract their attention, as well as the gazes of the rangers who are also ready to shoot.
Kant's order is here, but for them, if they really encounter an irresistible enemy, it is equally important to launch an attack first and ensure the safety of the lord!
"Ka Ka Ka..."
Overhead, there was an awkward sound of stones rubbing against each other.
The heavy stone door was pushed open.
The Rhodoks sergeants looked solemn, looked at the entrance of the black hole, glanced at each other, took out the torches they carried, ignited them with a fire storage device like a fire pocket, and entered the roadway with them.
The torch burned very happily.
The choking black smoke emitted by burning grease quickly flooded the top floor of the roadway.
But the Rhodoks did not go very far.
However, after about 5 meters, we came to the wooden door at the end of the alleyway, carved with exquisite patterns, and there were precious gilt and precious stones on the doorknob, which looked extremely beautiful under the flickering firelight.
Reaching for the door handle, Sergeant Rhodok slowly opened the wooden door.
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"
A gust of cold breeze gushes through the crack of the door in an instant.
The torches seemed to be shaken violently by the cold breeze. For a while, the fire in the alley was suppressed, the temperature dropped several degrees invisibly, and the light became dim.
The cold wind blew outwards and swirled a few times around the burly bodies of the sergeants.
Then, with a whimpering sound caused by some kind of wind being squeezed in a small space, the temples outside the helmets of these 10 Rhodok sergeants swayed, rushed out of the tunnel, turned into a breeze, and disappeared.
The Rhodok sergeant at the front lowered his broadshield.
There was a bit of doubt between his brows.
Looking at each other, they didn't find anything unusual, but they were secretly palpitating about the cold wind.
Those who have been exposed to fantasy-like force are no longer limited to Calradia's traditional force.
They didn't find it weird.
But at the bottom of the pyramid temple, the faces of the mages who were still waiting changed slightly.
Looking up directly, a slight wind gushed out of the alleyway, which made their expressions change even more. They frowned slightly, and reported to Kangdehui in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, my lord!"
"What's wrong?" Kant looked up, but couldn't see the dissipated wind.
"Very strong negative energy."
The leading mage raised his head, his eyes full of shock: "Even after thousands of years of weakening, you can still feel the intensity of that negative energy. If we are at the peak, it is estimated that our group of people will be destroyed When the storm of negative energy sweeps through, your mind will be destroyed on the spot, and you will become an ignorant fool!"
Kant frowned. Seeing the solemn faces of the mages beside him, and the Ravenston rangers who came from the world of Pendor and also sensed the mysterious power, he couldn't help asking: "What did you find?"
"Negative energy, strong negative energy."
The mage swallowed, stabilized his mind, and said: "Just now, a wind formed by the accumulation of negative energy gushed out of the entrance of the temple, which caught us off guard, but fortunately, after tens of thousands of years and thousands of years of weakening, It doesn't do any damage."
"Yeah." Kant nodded, as long as he confirmed that there was no danger.
But the mage frowned: "It's not right."
"What?" Kant asked.
"Yes, something is wrong."
The mage closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and repeated in his mouth: "It's really not right!"
"That's right, I sensed it too!" The other mages also nodded.
Looking at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"What's going on?" Kant said in a serious tone.
These mages obviously sensed something was wrong, he had to know the details, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Tell me immediately, is there anything wrong in this temple?"
"Yes, it is."
When the sorcerer answered, he hesitated.
"Say." Kant said in a deep voice.
"That's it, my lord, in this wind of negative energy, we discovered the cold aura that only belongs to the dead, and this is the most distinctive feature of the dead in our perception!"
The leading mage frowned and explained, "It's in this temple!"
"Yes, it's in the temple!" Other mages echoed.
"Undead." Kant said solemnly.
The Rhodok sergeant and the Swadian knights behind him were equally solemn, including the Ravenston ranger. Obviously, they knew something about the undead. These mutilated corpses paint a horrifying picture.
But no matter how you describe it, these resurrected undead, these corpses that should have slept forever, should never appear in the world. This is equivalent to the most basic rule, the boundary between life and death has been broken!
Kant knew more about the undead.
After all, in the film and television materials of the previous life, the undead, a special race, are not weaker than demons in the slightest.
What's more, in the Warwind World where the mages live, there is a race of undead.
And it is also divided into vampires and bones to build their own country independently!
As one of the powerful human nations, the Enfarth Empire had of course had fierce conflicts with these evil creatures, and even the Trial House owned by the country exists to deal with those evil and filthy demons and undead!
The mages looked solemn.
He turned his head and suggested to Kant: "My lord, in the temple...maybe it's not optimistic."
Kant narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me more in detail."
"There may be undead creatures."
The mage spoke with some hesitation in his tone: "Undead creatures have no time limit, but their bones and flesh will decay more and more. Of course, if they are powerful undead, even time cannot stop them. It is their source of power, as long as they are immortal, they are equal to eternal life."
"What's the situation in the temple?" Kant asked.
"Need to actually go and have a look." The mages didn't dare to boast, and said cautiously: "But in our perception, there is still a faint breath of the undead, because the cold undead characteristics have been found in the negative energy."
And at this moment, at the main entrance of the temple.
Sergeant Rhodok pushed down the gilded doorknob and pushed open the fine wooden door.
With a long "squeak" sound, the bronze door shaft was slowly pushed, allowing the entire inner space of the temple to appear in front of them, dim and deep.
The torch was raised, and the light that had not been seen for a long time appeared in the main hall of this temple.
It is a hall close to 2,000 square meters.
But the Rhodoks sergeants stared wide-eyed, and the two people in the front even took two steps back subconsciously!
Bones, bones everywhere!
And in the center at the end of the main hall, the old man sitting on the golden chair holding a scepter in front of the statue!
PS: I recommend my friend "Killer in the Night", the plot is very well written, the protagonist is at the level of the emperor, and the fairy grass of Dead by Daylight, even if you haven't played it before, you can still read it as a killer novel. No bragging, among the recommended novels, this is my favorite, it is definitely a guaranteed book!
