This is the real reason why the lost city of Erthos became what it is today.
It's not that Vivian has lost her memory of this city, but that she has really never been here at all. It is her evil body clone that dominates the city, and it is also the one that destroys the city and pushes it into a different space.
That evil thought body. Everything exceeded Hao Ren's initial guess, and even completely exceeded his previous concept of the special existence of the "evil thought body".
It turns out that there is such a special individual in the body of evil thoughts?
But there were still many questions that were not clear, so in the end he suppressed all the speculations and confusions in his heart, and continued to ask what happened after that. Because judging from the current status of the Colossus Corps and the Spirit of Ethos, the people who fell in the city were
Something must have happened here after entering the different space.
"What happened after the city fell into the alien space?" He asked Ethos in his mind, "What did you experience?"
"The moment the city fell into a different space, the last surviving resisters in the city also died in the shock of time and space. After that, the 'Lord' stood on top of the pyramid of the Great Temple for a long time, I think at least hundreds of years...
I couldn’t understand what she was thinking, or maybe she wasn’t thinking at all, and during that process, I was slowly stabilizing my injury.”
"Injury?" Lily blinked, "What injury?"
"You don't think that I can be safe and sound when the ubiquitous moonlight comes, do you?" Ertus' voice was a little helpless, "Even the spirit body of the Chaos Wanderer can't resist the weird red moon... I
I don’t know what it was, but its light almost tore my soul apart, and the damage continued hundreds of years after the city was thrown into another dimension. I originally thought this situation would last forever,
But then the moonlight in the city finally gradually weakened, and I was able to calm down."
Lily asked curiously: "Then what about the 'Master'? Why did she return to the pyramid?"
"I don't know, but since this city fell into a different space, the power of the 'Lord' has been declining. Even though I am only a spirit body, I can still feel this. She stood on the pyramid for a long time
, until most of the power of the moonlight faded, she returned to the big temple without warning, and then fell into a deep sleep. During the whole process, I never understood what kind of logic she was following."
"Actually, she really has no logic," Vivian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "At least after she started going crazy, she would no longer be logical."
Yzaks thought for a while and asked guessingly: "After the 'Lord' fell asleep, you took over the remaining stone statue soldiers here?"
"Those are my limbs," Erthos replied. "They (referring to the residents of the city) cut off my armor and bones and made them into various things including stone statues, but for
This has no impact on the Chaos Wanderers. I just temporarily lent those things to them. When the people in the city died, I took back everything..."
As Ethos's words fell, the giant statues that were standing quietly suddenly became active again. They turned around with a rumble and began to arrange themselves into a neat square formation. The moment they saw the stone statue soldiers moving, their hair exploded.
, jumped up half a meter high with a meow, and then hunched over and whispered in protest, he took small steps and hid behind Hao Ren: The cat girl was frightened by these stone bumps.
At this time, Hao Ren had vaguely figured out the connection: "So these stone statue soldiers are not guarding the 'master' at all... In fact, you are 'guarding' her!?"
"Guarding is not a big deal. I know the power of these stone statue soldiers. If the Lord wakes up, these stone statue soldiers will not be able to stop her at all. I am just monitoring this place to prevent anyone from accidentally entering this alien space and awakening the Great Temple.
In the past long years, this kind of thing has happened more than once. Different spaces will always be connected with the main material world for various reasons. Once a reckless adventurer enters the Great Temple,
It may cause unpredictable consequences. I remember that the last person who broke in was even standing at the steps of the great temple. They were just a group of humans, but they had incredible weapons and tenacious fighting spirit... But luckily
I still stopped them."
As Ertus finished speaking, Hao Ren saw a stone statue of a soldier coming out from behind the team. The statue of a soldier opened its huge palm, and some twisted metal fragments and tattered uniforms fell from between its fingers.
slide.
"British Army," Vivian judged after just one glance, "Uniforms from World War II."
"There are countless mysterious incidents of military disappearances in history, and half of them were unfortunate enough to fall into alien spaces." Hesiana shook her head and sighed, "These alien spaces are all left over from the mythical era and are still causing harm today.
People are not shallow."
Hao Ren was also lamenting, but he also admitted that Ethos's decision was no choice: he and his team had proved Etos's concerns were correct with facts, and outsiders entering the great temple would really wake up the sleeping people.
If the "Master" awakened today is not a group of supermen but a group of ordinary adventurers, then the consequences will be really disastrous.
Since that divine evil thought body has the ability to throw this city into a different space, then she must also have the ability to return herself to the main material world!
Vivian looked up at the sky, her expression a bit dumbfounded: "So you sent stone soldiers to fight with us before..."
"I was just preventing you from going to the great temple," Erthos said slowly, "but I didn't expect that you would go straight to the temple instead."
"This is the difference between non-professionals who make trouble and professionals who make trouble," Hao Ren spread his hands, "We are the ones who make trouble professionally."
Everyone: "..."
Hesiana calmly stepped back: "Just say it, don't take me with you."
"No wonder your stone statue soldiers will stay as far away from the Great Temple as possible no matter how noisy they are. It turns out to prevent waking up the monsters there," Hao Ren smacked his lips and shook his head, "And after we entered the Great Temple, you kept the stone statues in
It stopped outside. That probably means giving up the treatment, right? In that case, why don't you tell us? It's not like you don't know how to communicate with others, so you just sent a group of stone soldiers to attack. Normal people would resist, okay?
.Look at it now, we blew up a bunch of your colossi, and you kicked and injured my cat, the losses on both sides are not small."
He came over and rubbed Hao Ren's arm, muttering: "Big cat, I don't feel any pain anymore."
Ertus's helpless voice sounded in everyone's mind: "It's not that I don't want to communicate with you, but this kind of communication is more likely to awaken the sleeping 'Master'. In fact, if you hadn't successfully eliminated the 'Master',
I will never 'open' my mouth again."
"Will spiritual communication awaken the master?" Hao Ren felt as if he had come into contact with another piece of information about evil thoughts. "Has such a thing happened before?"
"Spiritual communication itself will not wake her up, but it is very dangerous to mention her during the process of spiritual communication. She is actually still watching the city while sleeping, and there are too many opportunities to wake her up," Ethos'
There was a sigh in his tone, "In addition to this risk, many of the guys who break into this place also have unpredictable behavior patterns, and communicating with them will bring more uncontrollable factors. There was once a group of people who fled
After the wizards learned about the sleeping place of the 'Lord', they had crazy thoughts. They actually wanted to deliberately awaken the Lord to gain powerful power. I really can't understand this self-destructive tendency, nor can I understand those strange things.
The little creatures have weird ways of thinking, so I simply stopped communicating with them. Until you appeared, you were an absolute surprise."
"Yes, after all, we not only woke her up, but also killed her," Hao Ren shrugged. "In short, we have figured out the ins and outs of this city, but I still have a lot of curiosity about the 'master'
Where. Do you know where she originally came from?"
"Before the Lord went completely crazy, I had several communications with her," Erthos said slowly, "but she never mentioned her origins. She just said that she was wandering on the Great Plains, wandering aimlessly.
Her purpose and direction, she didn't know her name and race, or even where she originally came from. Moreover, her mental state was very strange from the beginning, even when she was more 'sane',
Her thoughts are often interrupted, or she falls into strange long silences. Sometimes she will immediately stop a topic and start an incomprehensible, brand-new topic, but more often than not, she just mumbles to herself...
Sorry, it seems I can't help you in this regard."
Hao Ren himself doesn't have much hope in this. Every evil thought body is mysterious and incomprehensible. Even Vivian herself doesn't know when and where she split the evil thought body. The evil thoughts in Etos City
It is a miracle in itself that the "Great Master" actually has a period of "awakeness" where he can communicate, but he can't expect too much other than that.
But just when he had given up on learning more about the "Great Master" from Ethos, the other party suddenly spoke again: "Although I don't know the origin of the 'Master' very well, she once left something behind.
, I think you will be interested."
"Something?" Vivian suddenly became energetic, "What is it?"
"It's a gem. After she woke up from an intermittent slumber, she handed the gem to the city's high priest. If I'm not wrong, the gem should still be in the place where it was sealed."
Hao Ren and Vivian couldn't help but glance at each other, and then each saw the other's thoughtful expression.
