"It seems that everything in this cave is borrowed from most of the symbols of Arab civilization." As soon as he saw this world full of rich ancient Egyptian style, Liang En immediately understood what was happening here.
As we all know, the Arabs were originally a group of nomads in the desert, so they were full of martial virtues, but they didn't have much to offer culturally.
For example, those onion-roofed buildings come from the Eastern Roman Empire, a lot of technology comes from Persia, and even the famous belly dance comes from Egypt. There are not many original things.
It's just that the Arab Empire was really good at summarizing and summarizing, and was able to integrate this knowledge from all directions. In the end, it left a series of cultural imprints similar to Arabic numerals.
"Let's start the investigation. Those who have long-range investigation methods will investigate over there first -" After everyone came in, the leader Liu Shoubei pointed to the pyramid that glowed golden in the distance and said.
"As for the others, they are conducting separate investigations. It is unlikely that this exotic-style cave was here from the beginning, but it should have been brought here consciously. Therefore, the goal of everyone's investigation is to find the core that controls the entire cave."
After the order was given, a mountain ghost in the team, wearing clothes made of leaves and bark, and a complete deerskin, summoned an eagle made of silver mist and flew in the direction of the pyramid.
As for the others, they dispersed and each investigated what they thought was important.
"What is this?" Liang En said as he walked to a nearby huge object deliberately wrapped in straw, then drew out his sword and cleared away the covering straw.
In an instant, a red sandstone pharaoh statue more than two people tall appeared in front of him.
Sure enough, as he had guessed before, the Arabs who obtained this space could not accept these humanoid statues for religious reasons, but they were also worried that destroying the statues might affect the space, so they could only use this method to keep out of sight.
"Relics left by the ancient Musili people!" After seeing the statue, the original Confucian mage's eyes immediately widened. He rushed to the stone sculpture with a quick step and carefully read the words on it.
"Can you understand these words?" Liang En asked curiously, because in another world, these words have been dead words for thousands of years, and he is not sure what the situation is like in this world.
"I can't understand." The mage shook his head and said. "Because the gods of ancient Egypt have fallen, these words that communicate with the gods will naturally be forgotten."
"But for those of us who study magic, the discontinuation of ancient writing has also caused us to encounter a lot of problems when studying some magic, so we now want to restore this language."
"It's a pity that this kind of writing is related to gods. Even if the god who created the writing has died, the remaining power prevents us from deciphering the secrets of these words through magic."
"So now we can only use traditional epigraphy to carry out research, but because there are too few samples and our language is very different from theirs, we still haven't figured out what this language is until now."
"So now whenever we find objects engraved with such characters, we try our best to record the characters, their carriers, and even the surrounding environment, and then send them back to several academies and universities."
"It seems that once things like words are forgotten, it will be very troublesome to decipher-" Liang En sighed, and then used a drop of luck essence in the copper tripod to learn this based on the simple ancient Egyptian course he had learned before.
kind of text.
After the brain directly learns a series of knowledge, the words on the statue that were like a sacred book to him before reveal their own secrets.
"Owned by Rameses II, this place is favored by Hathor. May all glory belong to Hathor." From the words at the foot of the statue, Liang En quickly found written records about this space.
"Mr. Liang, do you recognize these words?" As a practitioner, the Confucian mage has a meticulous observation ability of the surroundings, so he quickly deduced what Liang En was doing from his expression and movements.
At the same time, except for the mountain ghost shaman who summoned the eagle spirit, everyone else in the team gathered around curiously and listened to Liang En's explanation of his discovery.
"It should be said that we know each other partially." Liang En naturally did not dare to finish his words. After all, although the difference in the general direction between the two worlds is only the presence or absence of extraordinary power, God knows how big the difference will be in details.
"Now it can be determined that this place was left by Ramses II, one of the greatest pharaohs in the ancient civilization of Besri, as you call it, and was blessed by the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility.
"
"According to the ancient Egyptians' worship of gods, the core of this cave should be located in a temple dedicated to Hathor." At this point, Liang En frowned and recalled the rammed earth platform he saw when he came here.
"If I'm not wrong, the temple should have a rammed earth platform, and there will be cow statues and vineyards around the building -"
"Shaman Lin, please find the place where Mr. Liang mentioned it." As soon as Liang En finished speaking, Liu Shoubei immediately turned to the mountain ghost shaman who controlled the eagle spirit.
"Yes!" the mountain ghost shaman promised and made several gestures at the same time. The next moment, a nearly transparent silver light flew out from his fingertips and flew towards the pyramid.
Just a few minutes later, the Mountain Ghost Shaman, who had been squinting his eyes before, suddenly opened his eyes wide, then pointed in the direction of the other side of the pyramid and said.
"I think I have found the place you are looking for. It is a large courtyard surrounded by rammed earth walls painted white. There are many cow statues and many grapevines in it."
"In the center of the courtyard is a high rammed earth platform, with a white temple on top. The exterior walls are carved with many words and patterns. The most conspicuous one is a female figure with a bull's horn on its head and a disk drawn in the horn."
"You're right, it's right here." After seeing all the eyes turning to him, Liang En nodded, then looked at Liu Shoubei, the team commander, and said.
"Based on the current known situation, the core of the cave should be in this temple, and we now have a chance to get the core of the cave before the pirates react."
"Of course, I don't deny that the core is likely to be hidden in the pyramid area, but considering the habits of ancient Egyptian civilization, this possibility is not very high."
After finishing speaking, Liang En looked at Liu Shoubei. After all, he was the one who could make the final decision.
"Just do what Mr. Liang said." After thinking for less than a minute, Liu Shoubei made his decision. "Commander Ping specifically told me before I came here that after entering here, I should listen to Mr. Liang on professional matters."
of."
After making the decision, the Taoist priest in the team quickly took out a bunch of talismans and turned them into talisman horses, and then everyone rode towards the target temple and rushed towards it.
