Hao Ren originally thought that a "spiritual detective" like Pierre who wandered on the edge of the magic field would not have any good information channels, so he didn't pay much attention to what Pierre told. After all, this kind of people are just scavengers in the mysterious world. All they can come into contact with is superficial knowledge that aliens dismiss. Interested, but Hao Ren obviously overlooked one point: there are many things that escaped the stranglement of the demon hunters after the "myth collapse". .
It's just that the number of these scattered heritages is really rare, and the distribution is really messy. In the contemporary era when the mysticism is in full decline, there is no one to sort it out.
People like Pierre certainly don't have much general understanding of the heterogeneous world, and his explanation of the "myth collapse" is also a deceptive thing made up by those mystic scholars who are talking about themselves, but he mentioned His "sun roulette" is probably a real thing, because he mentioned the key word "shadow of wrath", which makes it hard not to think of the mysterious shadows that caused the battle.
"What is a sun roulette?" Vivienne also became interested in this term, and she asked curiously.
Pierre found a crumpled scroll from the bag, and carefully spread it on the table under the dim light: "This scroll is very precious. I found it in an underground palace in Egypt. This cost my life...I believe this thing depicts the sun roulette."
Hao Ren and Vivienne leaned over curiously at the same time. They saw that the scroll was black and yellow in color, its texture was like parchment paper, and the edges of the scroll had obvious signs of being burnt. This scroll, which has been around for so many years, depicts an exquisite disc-shaped thing. There are circles of mysterious patterns distributed on the surface of the disc. In the center of the pattern is a round hole that looks like a groove or a hole. The disc A line representing sunlight is also drawn around it. Hao Ren noticed that two standing ancient Egyptians, a man and a woman, were drawn in the corner of the disc. This seems to be describing the size of the disc with human height. If the scale is correct, the disc should be ten meters high.
Next to the disc pattern, you can see several passages written in ancient Egyptian script. Most of the writing is already illegible, since the text is right where the scroll was charred. All that can be read are a few short sentences: "The light wheel of the sun... Gods and beasts... Repression and punishment."
It seems to be the curse of the ancient gods and gods.
"Did you see it? It's very beautiful. According to the age of this scroll, such a beautiful picture is simply impossible. The Egyptians at that time did not have this kind of painting skills, and they did not make this kind of paper. "Pierre pointed to the details on the scroll with a flushed face, "But here are indeed ancient Egyptian texts. So this should be left by an 'awakened person' who has obtained mysterious knowledge, probably similar to The ancient detective of the spiritual world. In addition, you can see here, the surface of the disk, you can still see some traces of light gold, which was once smeared with golden dyes. After I analyzed the composition of these pigments, I found that there was gold in them. There is an ancient Egyptian painting The characteristic, that is, they will faithfully color the things on the picture, the more important things are, the more so. So we can judge the race and living area of the people in the picture according to the skin color of the people in the Egyptian murals——Joseph Caiyi's clues were found in this situation... oh it doesn't matter."
"Golden paint? This is indeed not a technique that the Egyptians of that era would use on scrolls," Vivienne became more interested in this topic. "So the disc is probably made of gold?"
"Such a huge golden creation, and so exquisite, and more importantly, it is also associated with words like 'sun' and 'god'. This is undoubtedly a sun roulette," Pierre nodded vigorously. "Humans at that time couldn't create such a thing, and they couldn't even imagine it, so only 'Tara' could create this artifact. As far as I know, the sun roulette is a huge golden device. The symbols on it depict It is a very profound magic mystery, and it is a key tool used by the Tara people to suppress the Shadow of God's Wrath... "
Hao Ren interrupted him: "As far as you know, what is the Shadow of God's Wrath?"
"There is a legend among the detectives in the spirit world, that is, the land was ruled by gods in ancient times, and those gods who have become myths today all existed in real life, such as Odin and Zeus—these gods are very powerful, but they are not invincible. Because their arrogance has attracted a disaster that befalls them, that is the shadow of wrath. The shadow of wrath is the dark side of the heart of the gods. It is an unstoppable shadow force that descends from the depths of the universe to On the earth, the spiritual defense line of the ancient gods was torn apart, causing all kinds of melee. When the problem became more and more serious, the gods gathered together and asked the "Tara" family who also came from the dark deep space to create an artifact. It is the sun roulette. The sun roulette is cast by sunlight, so it can effectively fight against the dark power of the shadow of wrath. The Shadow of God's Wrath drove them to the side of the sun roulette, and finally sealed them inside the roulette. But in the end, something dishonorable happened in this battle... "
"Disgraceful thing?" Hao Ren was taken aback, "What's wrong?"
"The power of the sun roulette is so powerful that the gods have a greedy heart. They all tried to get involved in the roulette under the pretext of wanting to help take care of the seal, so after the battle caused by the shadow of wrath ended, they Another melee, driven by greed..."
Vivienne curled her lips immediately: "What the hell, how could they fight when I'm here."
Pierre was stunned: "Huh?"
"Uh, don't talk to her," Hao Ren diverted Pierre's attention awkwardly, "You can just say what you want, it's best to treat us as ordinary people, I really want to know what are the various legends in the circle of supernatural detectives like you? what kind."
Pierre moved his mouth with a weird expression, and when he was talking, he always forgot the identities of the two people in front of him, but when he calmed down, he remembered that these two people were the "insiders" of the bizarre fairy tales in his mouth, So a strong sense of disobedience welled up in my heart. But he still suppressed this feeling: "The legend goes like this, the gods were caught in a second battle, but there was no winner in this battle, and a force suddenly erupted from the sun roulette, killing all the gods who did it. They were seriously injured, so they realized that no one can control the power of the roulette, only Tara—these 'gods' from the dark deep space are the most powerful. In the end, the roulette was handed over to Tara for safekeeping , the Tara people put the roulette in their golden manor, if it is correct, it is the land under our feet."
After Pierre's narration came to an end, Hao Ren also began to sort out the information he had just obtained.
The myths and legends circulating among humans are quite distorted, but Pierre's narration can still partly fit Vivienne's memory and Hesperis' description. The "Tara" in the story is undoubtedly the Ancatero family who lost contact not long ago. This family was not very active in the age of mythology, but now it seems that they belong to a group of people who are powerful but careless about the world. The shadow refers to the shadow of chaos. Spiritual detectives believe that Tara comes from the dark and deep space of the universe. This is probably a myth. Maybe the Tara people know that they are from an alien planet in another universe, and this rumor has become "dark deep space" .
At present, the biggest difference between the "Spiritual Detective Version" and the "Alien Family Heirloom Version" is the addition of a sun roulette.
That thing seems to be the key element to seal the Shadow of Chaos.
"Do you remember that you have made something similar?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivienne, "or have seen something similar."
"I have no impression," Vivian shook her head. "But we should have sealed the Shadow of Chaos in something back then: it was an invisible shadow that had to be sealed in something tangible to control it."
"Even Hesperis and Wayne don't know about this roulette. Fortunately, we met this spirit detective, otherwise we might have missed the most important thing after entering Ancatero's territory," Hao Ren sighed, "But do you think it's appropriate for this spirit detective to continue his activities?"
Vivian shook her head: "His enthusiasm for knowledge is quite admirable, but it's better not to entangle this person, after all, he has a heart... who?!"
In the middle of speaking, Vivienne's eyes suddenly turned sharp, she stared at a corner of the room and shouted in a low voice, the surrounding air was immediately filled with sharp icicles. And after her words fell, something suddenly appeared in the corner of the room that was originally empty.
A handful of silver-white flames rose from the ground and gradually took the shape of a person. The white-haired girl who came out of the flames greeted Vivienne and Hao Ren: "Long time no see."
Hao Ren was startled: "Broken fire?!"
"...it's white fire..." (to be continued~^~)
