Chapter 382 Drinking the blood of the gods can become a god
In a dark room in the slums of Anduo City, Dalton looked haggard and stared at a parchment in his hand. His eyes were as red as if he had rabies. It was obvious that he had not slept for an unknown amount of time.
The room was blocked on all sides by densely packed houses, and no side could see the sun. The sound of water droplets hitting the roof kept coming from the house above when people were drying clothes.
Although it was broad daylight, the room was extremely dark, and only with the help of candlelight could I barely see what was going on inside.
Since there has been no light all year round, there is a thick smell of moisture in the house, as well as various discarded food, and the smell of feces and urine mixed together, making it extremely unpleasant.
Dalton seemed not to notice it at all, just studying the parchment as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
This one-meter-long and wide parchment scroll has a map of the temple drawn on it, with text marking each key node. There is also a coffin deep in the core of the temple, with something written in bright red text inside.
Although Dalton didn't recognize the words above, he knew what was deep in the core of the temple.
After waking up, all the secrets about becoming a god disappeared in Dalton's mind, and he just inherited this parchment from his ancestors.
In addition to the secret of becoming a god, the Temple of Creation also contains a drop of the divine blood of the Creator!
Drinking the blood of gods can make you a god.
The places marked on the parchment are obviously the core of the temple, but the words on them are from the Bactrian Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, and only a handful of people can recognize them today.
These characters have changed greatly from the characters currently used on the mainland. If you are not an expert in language and characters, you will not know what they mean.
Although all major countries on the mainland have more or less preserved ancient books from the Bactrian Dynasty, a thousand years have passed and no one has studied the texts written thousands of years ago.
Even Lilith and others who survived the Great Shang Dynasty were not born yet during the Great Xia Dynasty.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize it. Memorize it first and then find someone who can recognize the words.
Dalton prepared food and water in the house for a month without leaving the house, memorizing the contents of the entire map every day.
Now he can not only draw the entire map with his eyes closed, he can even write down the Daxia characters on it.
Dalton certainly didn't want to sell the secret at this time. He even wondered if he was crazy before, why he would release the news.
As long as you find this creation temple, enter it, and get the divine blood, you can become a god!
What else do you need gold coins for at that time?
But at this point, Dalton had no other choice. He could only find a way to protect himself first.
And his way of protecting himself is also very simple, which is to destroy this parchment. If he is the only one in the world who knows this secret, then he will be safe.
Dalton finally closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, picked up a pen and paper, drew a new map, and compared it with the map on the parchment. After making sure that there was no problem, he put the parchment on the candle and lit it.
The entire parchment caught fire and quickly burned to a pile of ashes.
Dalton was not relieved when he saw that the parchment had been burned to ashes. He took out water and washed it away until nothing was left. Then he walked to the window, opened a corner of the rag curtain, and looked outside.
Like all slums, the slums of Anduo City are also full of chaos and all kinds of dirty things, but this has also become Dalton's greatest protection.
In the past month, Dalton has seen adventurers and people dressed as mercenaries come to the slums more than once, but most of them couldn't stand the harsh environment here after coming in and retreated.
But such days would not last long. One month was enough for them to dig three feet into the ground in other parts of Anduo City.
Once they can't find him outside, I'm afraid they will immediately move their target to the slums.
In other words, there is not much time left for him.
Dalton looked in the mirror for a while. He hadn't washed himself in a month. Not only did his whole body smell bad, he looked unkempt, and he was completely unrecognizable from his original appearance.
Now walking on the street, anyone would think he is a beggar.
Dalton took out a human skin mask from his arms and put it on his face carefully. When he saw that the face in the mirror had completely changed into a different person, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The Extraordinary Academy is indeed the most mysterious place in the world. It can even produce such magical things."
This mask appeared in Dalton's hand together with the parchment. According to the memory in his mind, his ancestor got it from the Extraordinary Academy.
Dalton smiled in the mirror and made a few expressions. After confirming that there was no problem, he opened the door and walked out of the city.
This mask and parchment were actually given to Dalton by Chen Luo after he hid in the slums.
Dalton never doubted his memory at all. He didn't even think about why he already had this human skin mask and was hiding it in the slums.
Dalton's appearance changed drastically, his clothes were no different from those of a beggar, and the stench emitted from his body made everyone avoid him, so no one would notice him.
Just as Dalton walked to the gate of the royal capital with excitement and was about to leave the city, a sharp horn blast suddenly came from the city wall.
Dalton's expression changed suddenly. He had lived in Anduo City for more than thirty years, so he naturally knew what this horn meant.
This is an enemy warning, and is usually sounded only when the royal capital is attacked by enemy troops or monsters.
Is it a monster, or is there an enemy attacking the Samar Kingdom?
When Dalton saw the city gate closing quickly, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
No matter what the situation is now, it is obviously impossible to leave the city.
Dalton couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, why did he encounter such a thing at a critical moment!
...
On the 100-meter-high wall of Anduo City, the city gate guard had a look of astonishment in his eyes. He looked at the cavalry rushing in from the distance.
Some cavalry came to the royal capital, but they didn’t receive any news!?
How can this be!?
Is the Samar Kingdom really coming to an end?
The thunderous sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
As the huge cavalry team got closer and closer, the city gate guard saw the flag held by the front cavalry.
"It's the Knights of Glory!"
The city gate guard exclaimed, his voice trembling, and he immediately turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Quick, quick, go and report to Your Majesty that the Holy Sword Kingdom is attacking!" (To be continued)
