Chapter 15 The Key
Seeing that Karl's frowning eyebrows were relaxed but still a little confused, God Thoth also understood what the other person was thinking, so he went on to explain:
"We have actually studied this location and test very clearly."
"It's a pity that the key to enter has been missing."
"oh?"
Hearing God Thoth speak like this, Karl knew that the next step was the highlight.
To say this in front of him, there must be something wrong with this so-called location and key, otherwise he wouldn't have said this kind of news directly.
Sure enough, this god immediately took the initiative to tell what he knew.
In the distant past, although the ancient people were not as knowledgeable as the humans in the Industrial Revolution era, they still had a lot of courage and exploration spirit.
After obtaining the method of making the talisman from Alice, they naturally became interested in this so-called origin of mankind.
Thus, the vast exploration activities began.
With the power of the talisman, they defeated the original rulers. After gaining power and status, they immediately began to satisfy their desires and curiosity.
Therefore, I naturally marched into the so-called 'Desert of Despair', and then found this so-called 'Test of Nine Pillars'.
They have come this far, but they can only go so far.
Because the road ahead is blocked.
For the official opening of the Nine-Pillar Test, the door lock of the trial place must be opened, but they did not have the key to open the door lock.
In the years that followed, extraordinary beings and even beings who ascended the throne of God devoted themselves to cracking the Trial Place. Because of the impact of their actions, the human race even built a city in the desert.
Unfortunately, human power has its limits, and so does God.
The seal left by Alice was so unbreakable that they could not break the blockade of the trial area at all. No matter whether they tried to break it through research at the earliest, or they finally had no way out and violently broke it, this area has never been opened to them.
Open the veil.
This incident also troubles the Egyptian gods to this day.
After listening to this description, Karl immediately continued to ask:
"Then this desert should be the Sahara Desert, right?"
"That's right."
God Thoth nodded, and then turned his gaze to Green's chest, who was quietly listening to the story.
"The door lock of the trial ground actually requires some kind of special magic array structure to analyze."
It was this action and conclusion that set off a huge turmoil in Karl's heart.
Something that went against his three views happened in front of him again.
According to the wishes of God Thoth, the magic circle on Green's chest is undoubtedly the key to the trial place.
But in this way, an unexplainable paradox appears.
According to what Karl knows, the so-called Sahara Desert should have first formed 2.5 million years ago, which can be said to be quite a long time ago.
Based on the word "desert of despair" in Alice's revelation, it can be inferred that she set up this so-called trial place in the desert at least after this point in time.
Combined with God Thoth's description just now, we can get a time range for the appearance of the trial place.
From 2.5 million years ago to the emergence of Egyptian civilization, it was about 10,000 years ago.
And in this case, the time is not right.
The magic circle on Green's chest is basically composed of Solomon's demon sigil, runes and other magic symbols.
However, the appearance time of these magic characters is later than the appearance time of the trial land.
But at the same time, the key to the trial place is actually this magic circle!
Isn't this a complete time paradox?
If I had to explain it, could it be that Alice traveled through time and went back in time to set up this trial place?
This is not science fiction, there is a time machine!
You can’t say that the other party has successfully gone against entropy, right?
Is there anything that a civilization of this level cannot do?
If this possibility is ruled out, then Karl has an even more terrifying speculation.
Perhaps these mysterious cultures that have appeared on the earth were all guided by this guy named Alice?
Whether it's Norse mythology, Greek mythology, Sumerian mythology, etc., there is actually Alice's back in it?
Either of these two inferences means that there is a terrible fact hidden behind the matter.
Just thinking about it with his head made Karl feel dizzy now.
This feeling of powerlessness in the midst of it was that he was really weak compared to himself, and was more than a hundred times stronger when facing the Eidolon Lord.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice appeared in the temple:
"Hoohoho~~!"
"Now that we know our next destination, shouldn't we get on the road and say goodbye to this hooded man?"
That's right, Naiya, who was beaten in half by Karl just now, has repaired her body and is now limping towards them.
As a result, Karl couldn't say anything, and Thoth was moved.
Standing up from the steps under the throne, the god came to the frowning Karl:
"Sir, if you plan to go to the trial site, then I think you should need a guide."
Just like his actual actions, God Thoth's eyes revealed an emotion called anticipation.
This problem that had been unsolvable for thousands of years seemed to be solved, so he naturally decided to take part in the action.
Karl has no time to worry about these things now, and his speculations about Alice are enough for him to imagine.
So in Cal's place, Cyril answered the god Thoth's request:
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
From a practical perspective, this god may not necessarily tell him everything.
Why not take him with you to the Sahara Desert, so that if you encounter a situation that is difficult to understand, you can find the answer directly from him.
This is what Cyril thinks.
As for God Thoth, he immediately nodded in agreement after hearing Cyril's reply.
Then, the god made an unexpected move.
Without any hesitation, he took off the hood on his head!
After taking off his hood, the man casually drew his hand on the ground, and a large amount of clay appeared out of thin air and piled up in front of him.
Under the control of the god Thoth, the clay gradually took shape and stood, forming a clay figurine that was exactly the same size as himself.
Then, just as everyone expected, the clay figurine's body surface gradually became active, and it transformed into a human form exactly like the god Thoth.
Putting the hood in his hand on the head of the clone, God Thoth nodded with satisfaction:
Chapter completed!
