Those black stone pillars appearing at the end of the horizon are obviously not natural landscapes—they are magnificent, tall, and haunt a desolate and ancient atmosphere. Each stone pillar seems to be several thousand meters high, and its shape is also extremely regular, all of which are straight lines Cuboid, and the size of each one looks exactly the same. Hao Ren's excellent eyesight allowed him to see the details of the stone pillars from such a long distance: he saw that the dark surfaces of those pillars were not smooth and empty, but were etched with many mysterious patterns. They have never been seen in any world. If I have to say it, they are a bit like the words used in the temple of the Goddess of Creation.
The majestic stone pillars are so tall that the clouds are hovering halfway around the pillars, and their huge size may also disturb the weather within a certain range. A large amount of swirling mist can be seen on the upper half of the stone pillars, as if there Many cyclones are formed, and below the waist of the stone pillars, you can see bright electric lights jumping between the pillars from time to time—the span of each electric arc reaches several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers. As the airship gradually approaches those stone pillars , Hao Ren heard rumbling thunder coming from the direction of "Stonehenge".
And the aura of the goddess of creation became more and more obvious: he experienced several illusions of the goddess of creation, and personally touched the related artifacts and relics, so he had some judgment on this aura.
"What it is?"
Hao Ren stared blankly at Stonehenge in the distance, and didn't care to hide his lack of common sense, so he asked directly.
"You don't know about the Pillars of Imprisonment?" Sir Morian looked at Hao Ren in astonishment, "As the guardian of the temple, you don't know about them?"
"Pillar of imprisonment?" Hao Ren frowned, "I... really don't know, it's hard for me to explain the reason to you, but I don't know anything about many things in this world, you can think it's some kind of ancient The power of it hinders my cognitive function, in short, I need your help to introduce."
He came up with a lame but barely usable reason on the spur of the moment. He believed that similar curses or mind magic must exist in this world—even if they didn't exist, they could use the secret power of ancient times to fool them. But he didn't expect that the old knight didn't care about the real reason at all: Morian had reached an agreement with Veronica, as long as Hao Ren really stood by his team, they could ignore this "ancient guardian" everything unusual. So Morian just pondered for a moment before speaking: "According to legend, the Pillar of Imprisonment was driven into the earth by the goddess of creation."
"His hands from the Goddess of Creation?" Hao Ren's eyes widened immediately, "Why did you use it?"
"Used to suppress the first rebel—the evil giant Lochmarton," said the old knight, "the Pillars of Imprisonment can be seen in many places in Kolo, towering over the land and mountains, and driven deep into this place. Every energy node in the world, Lochmarton was once firmly locked in the depths of the earth by these pillars, until he broke the earth and escaped, and these pillars faded. But even so, the pillars of imprisonment are still Powerful miracles, they have unparalleled power of order, even when the tide of chaos hits, these pillars have never collapsed."
The old knight said, and added a little story: "It is said that the founding sage of the country of beacon fire led the legendary legion "Red Fist" to rise in the west of the mainland. He survived the chaos by climbing to the top of the Pillar of Imprisonment in the middle of the Western Desert, and the Lord of Fire stood on the top of the Pillar and looked around.
Hao Ren nodded while listening, but in fact he didn't listen to much. All his attention was attracted by those pillars.
Is that a sealing device built by the goddess of creation? !
He was a little excited at the first moment, but he calmed down quickly after the brief excitement. He realized that those pillars were still somewhat different from the temples he saw in Corpus. Although they were large in scale, they lacked a kind of... The pure aura may not necessarily be built by the Goddess of Creation, but the divine power they carry is unquestionable... So these things must at least be related to the Goddess of Creation.
There is such a thing as the "Pillar of Imprisonment" in the world of Kolo, which has never been seen on a planet like Holleta or Tanagus. These magnificent creations can only be created before the fall of the goddess of creation. Built before the fall of the Firstborn and Guardian races...
Then the thing suppressed by these sealing devices is definitely not the crazy eldest son or the guardian.
Of course, all the above conjectures must have a major premise: the ancient legends mentioned by Morian must be accurate, and these pillars must indeed be some kind of prison facility.
While Hao Ren was thinking, the three airships gradually approached the magnificent pillars of imprisonment.
The black stone pillars stand on the ground like towers reaching the sky. When the distance is close enough, their scale becomes more and more shocking. The width of these pillars simply exceeds the concept of "stone pillars". When the distance is close enough, they Every face of the sky is blocked in front of the eyes like a wide vertical cliff, and the airship is like a bird flying over the edge of the cliff, inconspicuous and pitiful.
A huge electric arc jumped over the airship, and a strange buzzing sound came from all directions from just now. On the side of the airship, huge ancient runes were engraved on the stone wall of the Pillar of Imprisonment, Hao Ren saw that there was still blue light flowing in the rune.
These things are still working.
Amidst the thunder and buzzing, Hao Ren had to raise his voice and yell at Sir Morian, "We'll just fly right under the Pillar of Prisonment? Is that okay?"
"It's safe under the stone pillars, they are the safest place in the world!" The old knight also raised his voice, "Don't be frightened by the thunder above, they are just the conversation between the stone pillars, the power of the Goddess of Creation will not hurt her children!"
When the airship carried Veronica and her party through the majestic spectacle of the Pillars of Imprisonment, the other team traveled through the dense jungle in the southern part of the kingdom.
There was a loud bang, and an ancient jungle monitor lizard that may have lived for hundreds of years fell heavily from a high altitude. The moment it landed, its internal organs ruptured and died. This monster might have been the overlord of the surrounding jungle in a large area, but now But it has become a pool of flesh and blood that has lost its vitality, and soon, it will become food in a cauldron.
The one who is entitled to enjoy it first is the noble alpha wolf.
Lily, who was wearing a wolf fur cloak, stepped forward and kicked the corpse of the jungle monitor lizard. After confirming that it was completely dead, she waved her hands behind her: "Wolf cubs, tear up the meat. The gnolls clear the open space and light the fire." Cook, what should other people do, let's spend the night here today."
The wolves in the jungle howled horribly, and a dozen black wolves appeared beside Lily as if they appeared out of nowhere from the shadows. These demonic wolves first bowed their heads in respect to Lily, and then swarmed up to bite the huge wolf. The hide of the beast is as hard as iron, and farther away, those wolf men in tattered clothes and stone rings on their fangs screamed wildly, shoving, shoving and even fighting each other to execute the wolf man's attack. Command, to clean up the surrounding bushes and weeds, and prepare a huge bonfire by the way.
The other monsters also have their own work to do: the magic apes have to climb the giant trees, stand guard, and pick fruits; the dwarfs have to scatter around, collect smaller prey and clean up smaller dangerous factors; The clumsy furbolgs can't take on complicated tasks, so they are responsible for guarding the camp and preventing the weaker members of the herd from being harmed by the "natives" of the forest.
The aborigines here include the primitive beasts and monsters living on the mainland, as well as the servants of chaos that have appeared more and more recently.
And in this mighty army of monsters, a handful of embarrassed humans are particularly eye-catching.
These human beings used to be the crew of the Holy Hammer, the glorious sanctuary investigation team, and they still wear the unique white holy emblem armor or monk robes of various styles in the church country, but at this time it is difficult for them to maintain their usual Their demeanor and temperament have changed: these people are cold and tired, their armor is torn, and their clothes are dirty. Everyone looks like a broken soldier who has just retreated from the battlefield. Even the leader of the team, Carassius, now only He can stand unshaven in the dirt, and his favorite monk's robe has three huge cuts.
According to the "wolf" girl, the team experienced a "slightly turbulent airship forced landing". During the forced landing, everyone performed well, their emotions were stable, and most importantly - they finally landed with both feet on the ground.
Well, such a statement does not seem to be able to alleviate the frustration of the members of the investigation team.
But Calassius felt that the current situation was the luckiest of misfortunes: at least everyone was still alive. The terrifying storm before fell on everyone as if the end of the world. The scene of the storm was not recorded in any ancient books. It was obviously an abnormal riot of the forces of chaos. , he felt that everyone should thank the Goddess of Creation for her protection.
Of course, I also have to thank the "wolf" girl for her help—although she charges a fee... (to be continued~^~)
