The entrance to the ruins is nothing special. It is just a stone house half buried in the sand with a relatively large door. Most of the ruins look like this.
Some of the mercenaries were left on standby outside, while the rest followed the team at the end to provide security. Not to mention whether it was the adventurers who were more experienced in dealing with the ruins or not, just the foolishness and courage needed to explore the unknown.
There are no mercenaries, so bringing mercenaries is just to ensure maximum safety.
It goes without saying that the members of the Salted Fish Knights are the vanguard. The other adventurers will follow in order according to their strength. The last mercenaries will be stationed in the explored areas as support. The whole team is mighty.
, excluding the mercenary logistics and other personnel stationed outside, there are nearly two hundred people. It is a veritable large-scale adventure.
As for the position of my team, do you believe me when I say I am with the Salted Fish Knights? Although they tried their best to dissuade me at first and wanted us to stay at the back, but after I changed my divine outfit to the Virgin Mary,
After taking the form, they were all speechless.
That's right, I am the strongest being here!
"Amy... is it okay for us to be pioneers like this? It must be okay for you and Aili, but we..." Pachulia tugged on my clothes, seeming a little worried.
"No problem! I will definitely protect everyone!" I raised the gorgeous scepter with a huge heart-shaped gem on the top and gave the mage girl a confident smile.
Oh, this thing is the weapon that comes with my magical outfit after switching to its ultimate form. Ellie's staff was overloaded and broke when I threw the Super Super Holy Light Ball.
The ordinary stone door has been opened by the discoverer, and the team entered the ordinary dark passage along the ordinary stone steps. Because there were so many priests, everyone held up ordinary holy light balls for illumination, which was better than ordinary torches.
Something much easier to use. At the end of the passage is another ordinary stone door, which has also been opened by the discoverer. Inside is a rather spacious ordinary underground hall. There are ordinary pillars, ordinary patterns, and a hall inside.
The huge stone door on the side is obviously not ordinary.
There is a huge relief sculpture of a woman holding a sword on the stone gate. Although it has experienced thousands of years, it is still lifelike. The vague smile of the first generation Valkyrie immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Is this the first generation Valkyrie? Why is her expression so strange? What is written around here?" I looked at the text around the relief and found that I couldn't understand any of it.
"This is the common language of ancient times. I learned it when I was studying ancient technology." Loli Hut said from the side.
"What does it say on this?"
"Do you want my power? If you want it, I can give it to you, go find it! Everything is put inside!"
"...I understand the reason for this expression, a strong aura of abduction." I curled my lips and began to look at what was around me.
However, there was an empty hall all around. There was nothing except some debris that might be fragments of bottles and cans on the sculpture base.
"How do you open this door that is so big? Should we all smash it together?" I asked the people from the Salted Fish Knights, who were trying to figure out a way to open the door.
"Of course not, Miss... You just need to push hard to open this door. It says on it." A female swordsman pointed to the bottom of the door. There was indeed a line of small words on it, but I still couldn't understand it.
The two powerful girls of the Knights held the door with both hands and slowly exerted force, and the door moved inward with a rumbling sound. After the door was completely pushed open, we saw...
It was pitch black.
"What kind of relic is this? It's not up to standard at all! Aren't all relics equipped with their own lighting? How come it's so dark that people make a sound of 'oh!'" I yelled out at that time.
"Miss, please don't do this! This may lead to unpredictable dangers! The ruins are not here to play!" The captain of the Knights scolded me severely.
"I know!" Although my tone was not good, my voice had been lowered.
The knights asked us to wait outside the door, and then they formed a battle formation and entered the door first. Of course, they did not forget to ask me how many states I wanted. By the way, their high priest actually lowered his head in shame when he saw me.
, as for?
"Hey... Is it really okay for you to go in rashly... Do you want me to throw a few holy light balls in and take a photo first?" I shouted to them in a medium voice.
"No, miss, if the explosion of the Holy Light Ball triggers some mechanism, we will be in trouble."
"Can I throw something that doesn't explode?"
"ah?"
As a result, several people were instantly destroyed by me as if they were facing a formidable enemy. It turns out that ordinary people can't throw the Holy Light Ball without it exploding. I really didn't know that.
With the lighting, the situation inside immediately became clear: a spacious corridor, huge columns on both sides, and another door at the end.
Why do ruins like to have so many doors? If you want people to enter, don’t open doors. If you don’t want people to enter, don’t open doors.
In the middle of the corridor, near the door, there is a relatively small stone pillar, which is also engraved with ancient characters in relief. People from the Knights are stepping forward to find out.
Then they didn't say anything, and they all looked very hurt.
"What's written on it?" I walked up and asked.
"Miss, it says, 'Because we can't find a way to illuminate for thousands of years, please bring your own light source, hahaha!'"
"...Is this really the resting place of the first-generation Valkyrie?"
"If historical records are true, then it is."
"..."
Because of such a painful reminder, the tensed nerves of the group suddenly relaxed a lot. The large group jumped into the corridor and soon reached the end of the corridor.
There are no reliefs on this door, but there are many words engraved on it. After the guys from the Knights read it for a while, they all showed solemn expressions.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"Miss, this ruins is a little different from what we thought." The big man who had spoken before turned to me and said.
"Is it because the owner of the ruins is very dishonest?"
"No...that's not what I meant..."
"what is that?"
"Miss, you can read it yourself." The big man handed over a piece of paper with the translated content written on it.
The following is the translated content, my God! There are so many!
"That's right, I am the first Valkyrie who will be called the First Generation, the First Ancestor, the First Emperor, the First Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and so on in the future. I am also the origin of all future Valkyries. I will seal most of my power.
It exists deep in this underground palace, if you want it, go in and get it!"
"Ha! Do you think it's that simple? Okay, no more joking, let's talk about serious things."
"The power of our divine envoys is very powerful, beyond your imagination. I don't know what the world will be like in a few thousand years, but I know that once our power reappears in this world, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to it.
changes. Our power is used to protect sentient beings from being devoured by evil, but it can also be used to destroy sentient beings. Therefore, I am here to warn you in advance that if you come with evil intentions, then you will not
You may pass many tests and reach the end.”
"Okay, even if you come with lofty ideals and want to use it to protect your beloved things, I advise you to go back now. This power is too powerful. Except for the successors of my bloodline, ordinary people
It's impossible to control at all. It's not like being corrupted by power! I'm not evil! It's just that power makes people expand, and when they expand, they lose their minds. By that time, what you once loved and wanted to protect will
, it may become irrelevant.”
"The last point may be difficult for you to accept, but please think about it after reading this: This world needs a devil. Only a devil can bring peace to all continents. Otherwise, what we fight with every day will no longer be mindless monsters.
But they are the same kind with flesh and blood.”
"Then if you finish reading it, I'll ask you to go back, that's it."
"Oh, by the way! There is no danger behind this door. There are many treasures inside that I can't even use up. Let's take it back as a souvenir! Hey hey hey!"
"Also! If you are the protagonist, then feel free to enter! You can walk the right way with your eyes closed, no problem at all! Because you are my good daughter for countless generations! Come and kiss me!"
I held this piece of paper and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Are these all just yarn? Are these things written in your ruins? If you don’t want others to get them, just don’t make them!
