Alexander's Memoirs - The Pioneers Chapter 17 The Gods Under the Temple
Noli quickly jumped over her teammates and motioned for her to go in first. She grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand and let the tip of the sword touch the ground. She held a torch in the other hand and carefully opened the door. This was a library full of decaying smells.
, the adventurers couldn't help but feel a sudden joy and inexplicable irritability.
A few people went in, used the light of torches to make sure that the dark place was safe enough, and then began to search the library, which was full of cobwebs and dust. The adventurers couldn't help but feel an inexplicable irritability. There were a small number of damaged books on the five large bookshelves.
, as for the missing parts, they were piled up in the corner of the room. These books had been completely stuck together due to moisture, but the names on the spines could still be seen as totaling five categories, namely botany, zoology,
Geography, medicine and religious books. There are two exceptions, namely, high-end interpretation of summoning spells and notes on maximizing the effectiveness of permanent protective arrays. There is also a book in the center of the library with two golden candlesticks placed at the bottom.
Wooden table dripping with wax.
"Be careful." Alexander remained vigilant about things that might appear in the bookshelves and stacks of books, and walked towards the table. Behind her, Susie sniffed the smell in the air and followed slowly, extending her arms while Alexander was investigating the candlestick.
He stretched out a front paw and began to scratch the table leg. The sound of "Bang!" frightened several adventurers, and Susie was even frightened to jump up. A shallow dark grid popped up on the edge of the table, and a small box was placed in it.
This small book has a black cover and exudes a slight scent of pine oil.
Alexander hesitated for a moment and then reached out to open the book. The handwriting on the first few pages was blurred. She turned a few more pages, but fortunately, she could barely make out the scrawled content on a few pages.
After folding these pages and waiting for others to come over, Alexander began to read this small book that seemed to be a note: "In these three nightmare days, the disease has been eating away at my body, and I can feel that my life span
It is nothing compared to what it once was. My god, please help me!"
"The blessing was completely successful. I am now full of power! He transformed my flesh and blood and made my body full of magic. The whole process took two weeks. I heard that many people died of giving up during the transformation process. Although I am very
Fortunately, most people don't make it. But now the horror is over. And I truly am stronger and more alive than ever! I will definitely praise Him for His mercy on me."
"Thank you to this unspeakable god for giving us food and wine. He not only gives me strength but also allows me to build an army. It allows me to trample on this land!"
"It is supposed to be a beautiful creature, a creature blessed by the gods. I can't tell where we went wrong. Is it that the skin and flesh are not pure enough? Is it that the blood is not mixed properly? Is it that the runes are drawn wrong? No experiment can be the first time
It worked, but this time it was different. We had a divine blessing. This quivering lump of flesh and bone was an affront to the gods. The whole operation was a mistake. I was responsible for getting rid of it. But at that moment
When I arrived, my dagger was hanging in the air. The thing looked at me. It had two eyes, two human eyes. I was so weak, I lost my faith, I was ashamed of my gods. I put it
He threw it into the river and ran back home. I couldn't stay to see what happened to it because it would be a shame to me. The others didn't think much about our failure. They talked about further attempts. But now
I feel hesitant about this behavior that contaminates the concept of life. Having a heart but no soul is not truly living.”
After reading the last part, Alexander clicked his tongue and said: "I'm afraid this is not an evil god. Don't ask me why."
The other three adventurers immediately thought of the monster near the tomb of the giant beast. Alexander continued: "It seems that the monsters outside do come from here, but the people here don't seem to intend to create monsters. But this god...
Maybe this kind of monster is what this evil god wants to create?"
After Alexander finished speaking, Noli carefully poked the nearby pile of books with her sword, and when poking, she avoided the parts that might tip over. Then she picked some books that seemed dry and swept them with the tip of her sword.
Go to the ground and prepare to take them away. Susie pricked up her ears and walked over slowly and started baring her teeth, as if she wanted to bite these books.
Freya had been picking through the bookshelves before, as if she wanted to take away the books she cared about, but in the end she didn't move any of them. Sherlock had no desire to take away the books.
Alexander felt that time was tight, so she said, "Let's go as soon as you're done. We spent a lot of time in this room." Then Alexander walked out, and she guessed that the village chief's team would move faster.
Creation...According to the wizard, are he and I also considered creations? Noli thought about leaving a small space in the backpack, and then filled the remaining space with as many books as possible that were not completely damaged, making sure that the backpack would not
After the influence event, she picked up the torch again, and when she saw that her teammates had already gone out, she quickly followed them.
At this time, the tribe team also walked out of a room not far across the road, and then the gatekeeper with a sledgehammer said hummingly: "The buildings we explored are the living room, the preparation room, and the storage warehouse. You guys
What’s the gain?”
"Well, the dining room and the library." Alexander said, handing over the small book, waiting for them to finish reading, and then continued: "It seems that these people were tempted and deceived by something... and after a long, long time,
Looks like we're about to face a complete monster."
"Huh... let's move on." Noli paused: "It seems that the power is not just infection, but also a strong temptation... Do you still persist in knowing the evil? Should you say that you are born evil, or are you born evil?
It's a last resort. Let's go, we'll see each other sooner or later. By the way, who doesn't have any medicine yet? Get one as a spare." Noli took out a bottle of healing potion.
"Of course, we must eliminate future troubles." The village chief said with certainty, and then Sherlock stepped forward and took the bottle of medicine, muttering: "I have finished the medicine, thank you."
"Then let's go." Solas weighed the new weapon in his hand - a metal hollow pipe with one end sharpened, which was probably found in the previous building.
Everyone approached the temple, ignoring the outer walls with huge indescribable totems and walked in. The bottom of the temple was made of many marbles and obsidian, and you could clearly see some wonderful patterns on those marbles. Next, it was divided into
Five huge pillars in a pentagonal central area support the triangular roof at the top. Inside is just a human-shaped statue of an unknown god. The facial image is very vague and there are no hand-held objects. There is a table and a table in front of the statue that have been
Mats rusted by time. There are some decorations and sacrificial items on the table, such as gems placed in the center of the table, gold-cast wine glasses and some beautiful ceramic plates containing rotten food, etc.
The hook-nosed middle-aged man replaced the short bow on his back with two long daggers and then carefully walked around behind the statue and motioned for others to come over. During the process of walking around, the statue seemed to have been moved, and everyone came over and saw him opening a
The entrance to the cave was covered by beautiful new silk. The stone steps leading down showed serious signs of wear.
The adventurers walked to the ladder and waited for the opportunity to climb down in the order temporarily decided by the village chief. Alexander, relying on his special ability to see through darkness that he had not yet told others, scanned the location where the fire could not illuminate.
After walking down one hundred and eighty steps, everyone descended to a passage that was not very dusty. They carefully maintained a few firelights and walked forward about 500 feet to a corridor. The first thing that bore the brunt was the room directly in front.
Forty feet to the left and right of the corridor is the end - the doors of the three rooms are made of metal, and the thickness is probably not low.
"Is this it again, letting the goddess of fate make the choice?" Noli looked at the village chief, then inserted the extinguished torch into a torch stand on the wall, and took off the sword she was carrying.
Alexander looked at both sides carefully, and with the good eyesight necessary to become an excellent archer, he observed: "The door on the left has a round-like mark with a jagged edge, and the door on the right has a round and slender bar.
What do you say about the marks that form a suspected lever?"
"This door doesn't even have a keyhole. The mechanism that opens it should be in one of the rooms." Sherlock said with certainty, looking at the middle.
"It could also be that there are mechanisms on both sides that need to be opened at the same time." The big man speculated using intelligence that did not match his appearance.
"So, where should we go first?" Noli stretched out her torch and pointed to the room with the gear mark. The tribe team had no objection, and the village chief took the lead and walked to the right.
Alexander walked to the door on the left. There was no place to pull it and no hidden mechanism was found. She looked back and saw that her teammates were ready and pushed it, but she didn't push it and heard a click. This sound scared several people.
The adventurers all backed up and crouched down. Sherlock at the back was hit by Nori and fell to the ground. However, there was no unexpected attack. After two more clicks, the door slowly moved backwards.
Open.
The smell of rust made the adventurers' noses protest. The light from the torch in Freya's hand illuminated part of the room, and many shriveled corpses could be seen lying in this place. Alexander pinched an arrow and walked slowly with his bow.
Stepping on the dried blood, Freya also held the torch tightly and walked into the room. There were many bird's nest-like nests in the corners of the room. These metal branches were made of metal. There were many things like embryos inside.
There are still embryos alive in the nest, four in total.
"Be careful." Alexander's calm voice came. She saw some skinless monsters with no skin and exposed flesh and blood, lying half-dead in the corner waiting for their death.
The adventurers raised their weapons and looked at these unclean creatures with bloody flesh. A small amount of bones like exoskeletons protected the important parts in front of them. It may be that their bodies secreted sticky light red mucus, and they were still able to move at first.
Shi Rang's pieces of bone armor were covered with countless excrement, but it was covered by the smell of blood. Two weird eyes that looked like human embryos were staring at the adventurers. The mouth was very strange because it had no skin.
The saliva secreted for a long time cannot stop flowing down, making people feel like they are in a creepy nightmare. The skinless monster's arms reveal the enviable muscles and red and blue.
There are blood vessels, and the hands are completely unlike human hands. The pieces of bone armor are wrapped in pieces that look like a hammer, and more vividly, they look like inseparable crab claws. They are completely humanoid combat weapons. I don’t know what kind of person can cultivate them.
Such a horrible and miserable monster.
Everyone had not yet recovered from the shock caused by this blasphemous picture. Alexander was about to propose putting these monsters to rest, but the embryos grew rapidly and seemed to be developing into new skinless monsters. This chapter has been completed!
