As the microbes in the clouds wake up from dormancy, the underground world ushers in the morning in the light of the clouds. Pieces of pure white clouds light up one after another like light panels that are energized in sequence, and the mysterious glow falls from the top of the clouds to illuminate the entire grassland. The local people have their own world view to explain the alternation of day and night and the phenomenon of wind and rain in this world. They believe that a huge monster breathes at the end of the world, and the smoke emitted by the monster forms clouds covering the earth, and a huge monster called "Kudra" The firebird flew out of the monster's nostril every morning, and the firebird lit up the clouds and mist, so that the light shone on the earth.
A team came to the high slope near the ancient city of Dorasil. Vivian and Hao Ren were standing on the highest point to observe the distribution of the city's buildings. Several small bats were hovering over the city. They were using ultrasonic waves to detect those Detail of the megalithic ruins. Vivian saw some secrets of the city in the vision of the blood spar, and now she is looking for the part that confirms with the vision through her bat clone.
Geisel and Bernia were also brought along, and now the latter is praying to the clouds with her eyes closed, chanting some difficult sentences that seem strange for her age. Heather Anna was bored, she curiously asked Geisel: "What is she doing?"
Geisel explained Bernia's actions: "The saint is thanking the giant flame bird "Kudra" for lighting up the sky and bringing light to the world, and at the same time praying that Kudla will remember to return to the nest on time when dusk falls , so that this world will not usher in the legendary "light burial"."
"Light burial?"
"If the giant flame bird forgets to return to its nest, the day will continue forever, and the clouds will continue to light up for more than a dozen days and nights. At that time, the temperature of the whole world will rise, and the plants will be burned by the light—there are several such cases recorded in the mythology. Event," Geisel introduced the mythical story of this world to Heatherana, "If such an event happens, all the saints, elders, and warriors of all tribes will go to the Pillar of Eternity guarded by their own tribe and knock on the shell of the pillar. This will remind Kudla to return to the lair, and the day will end."
He should be talking about the situation when the world's fragile ecology is accidentally out of balance. After all, everything here is barely maintained by a layer of cradle shell made by the eldest son. A slight fluctuation of this system may bring unimaginable turmoil to the entire world. The so-called "beating the shell of the Pillar of Eternity" should have a certain effect. Because this is the only way for surface creatures to communicate with the firstborn below: beneath those pillars of eternity are the rich nerves of the firstborn. These processes are endowed with mysterious mythological significance, so Hesianna can only curl her lips after listening to it: "Eh, hehe... It's an interesting legend, very interesting."
At this time, Vivienne finished communicating with her bat group, and her eyes fell on the largest pyramid on the side of Dorazil: "There is a lot of space in that building, and it should lead to the ground. The pyramid has tunnels connected to it. Bernia, do you know the legend about these pyramids?"
Bernia just finished praying to the clouds. She trotted to Vivienne quickly: "The Great Pyramid is your throne, and the surrounding pyramids represent the three kingdoms, the three church states, and the three dominions of the Sun Dynasty era."
"Have any of you checked the underground of this city?"
Bernia thought for a while, then shook her little head vigorously: "No! Because the city is sacred, the foundation of the city is the foundation of the world, it is in the neck of the giant 'Toka', if you disturb the city, it will make 'Toka' 'Get mad and he'll throw the whole world off his back and throw it into chaos. Of course if it's you who moves it's fine... right?"
The little saint still retains the curiosity and recklessness that should be expected at this age. While she seriously takes those myths and stories seriously, she also has the recklessness to verify these things with the "goddess". Vivian was stunned for a moment before she realized: "Oh. Toka... In your fairy tales, I seem to have built the whole world on the back of this hunchbacked old man. Tsk tsk, the imagination is so rich. I don't know you guys How did you come up with it?"
Bernia blinked: "Isn't it?"
"You say yes," Vivienne smiled. Patted the head of the little saint, then pointed to the big pyramid, "Let's go there."
The Great Pyramid on the side of Dorazil is a magnificent but only decorative building. It occupies one-tenth of the city's area and is made of heavy white stone bricks. The side of the pyramid facing the wilderness is smooth and without There is an unusually wide staircase on the side facing the city, leading from the bottom of the pyramid to the flat top of the tower. With this ladder as the dividing line, the towers on both sides of it are covered with huge and mysterious ancient reliefs. Those reliefs depict a large number of animal and plant landscapes and social life scenes that existed during the Sun Dynasty, almost like a scroll of historical pictures carved on stones. When Hao Ren and the others came to this city last time, they didn't even have time to take a closer look. At this time, I couldn't help being amazed when I saw the reliefs on the pyramid.
Vivienne stood at the bottom of the stairs, pointing to the reliefs distributed upwards along the pyramid: "Look at them in order from bottom to top, these things record the history of the last period of the Sun Dynasty. The bottom few floors are all pictures of animals and plants , and further up is the scene of social life, and near the top of the pyramid, you can see people taking refuge in the highlands and wilderness. If you are right, the abstract painting on the top of the pyramid describes the last stage: the closing of the sky."
Hao Ren caressed the ancient weathered stones, and asked casually, "But what we're looking for is underground, right?"
"Yeah, but the entrance is here, we have to find a way to open this thing..." Vivienne said while turning her eyes to the several small pyramids around the main tower, "I remember seeing these towers in the blood spar. Activated and connected by light... the entrance to the subterranean is blocked by these monolithic structures, and some device must be activated."
The data terminal buzzed and vibrated beside Hao Ren's shoulder: "Tch, it's such a trouble, a large amount of technical support can take care of everything."
Hao Ren easily pulled the thing off his shoulders: "Go away, this is a cultural relic, and are you going to blow up their temple in front of the locals?"
Vivian ignored the unscrupulous conversation between Hao Ren and the PDA. She walked back and forth in front of the huge relief prints while recalling the fragments in her mind. Since these fragments were not her own memories, Therefore, it is quite difficult to recall, but because the real thing is in front of her eyes, she still smoothly matched the information with the relief in front of her eyes one by one. At last she came to one of the bas-reliefs, inlaid obliquely on the base of the pyramid, and in the center of the picture was a sun shining on the earth. This is what she was looking for.
Vivienne's fingers brushed over the rough lines representing sunlight: "Sunshine, the symbol of the old world, in this world, 'sun' is synonymous with 'ancient secrets', so to open this place, you need..."
She tapped three times on the relief, and said aloud in the language of this world: "Praise the sun!"
Heather Anna slapped her forehead: "Why do I feel so weird—the ancestors of the blood race are actually praising the sun!"
Vivienne glared at her: "This is the password!"
"But your password doesn't seem to be working." Hao Ren pointed to the unmoving relief to remind Vivian.
Yes, nothing happened after Vivienne "praise the sun", the reliefs didn't light up, the pyramids didn't dangle to open an underground entrance or something, the scene was quiet as usual. Vivienne frowned, and tapped on the relief again: "Maybe it's a bad connection... Praise the sun?"
"Praise the moon?"
"Praise Mars?"
"Praise Saturn?"
"Praise Enceladus? Praise Arcturus? Praise Pollux?"
The data terminal suddenly let out a scream and flew over to interrupt Vivienne's blind experiment, and then directly released a scorching light beam from a corner of the fuselage to hit the relief, and it yelled while cutting the stone plate with sparks: "You have to know , This thing has been here for ten thousand years! Do you think the voice-activated switches in every world are as durable as those made by the Empire?"
The terminal increased the power of the beam while speaking, and the thick stone slab was cut like butter, and no one else could stop it. However, it is obvious that the terminal paid attention to scanning the structure behind it when cutting the slate. It cut the relief in two along a weird path. After the two slabs fell to the ground, the internal device underneath was exposed.
Some complex runes and fine crystals are inlaid on a metal casting substrate, which looks mysterious and primitive.
The data terminal emits a blue light, scanning the connection between these ancient magic symbols, while emitting some small electric sparks to stimulate the tarnished crystals: "This machine should be able to give it an initial signal... If the part buried underground can A little more durable than this thing, the whole system might actually work."
The continuous electric sparks hit those ancient symbols. After Duncan saw this situation, he whispered to Cassandra: "I watched the agents who stole cars in movies like this." "Well, stealing motorcycles The car is about the same."
After hearing this, Hessiana couldn't help muttering: "But I don't understand why TM opened the ancient ruins like this..."
While the three of them were muttering to each other, the "car stealing technique" on the data terminal actually worked.
I saw those ancient runes suddenly brighten up, and then a deep rumbling sound came from inside the pyramid, the sound went from low to high, and finally the whole ground began to shake! (to be continued~^~)
