After making up his mind, Lawrence immediately started preparations. Of course, this does not mean that he will just walk down the hillside and rush into the pyramid, because during the investigation just now, he discovered that there was a five or six meter high road around the pyramid.
The city wall surrounds the entire pyramid in the center, and also enclosed within the city wall is a series of buildings that look like temples.
Although the Jackal guards patrolling the city wall and the Jackal clergy operating in the temple-like buildings within the city wall are just ordinary people, considering that there are at least 1,000 Jackals here, Lawrence
I decided to collect some information outside and be fully prepared before entering this pyramid.
Through observation a few hours before dark, especially the close reconnaissance of the ghost shadows of insects, Lawrence did find a lot of interesting things here. For example, on the surface of the pyramid facing the main entrance of the city wall, there was a piece with various patterns drawn on it.
Covered by a patterned linen tent, six senior warriors wearing painted leather armor were stationed at the entrance of the tent.
The reason why they were identified as high-level samurai was that Lawrence had never seen a Jackal wearing upper body clothes except these people along the way. On the other hand, the perception strengthened by Bai Ze's bloodline could vaguely detect them in the five senses.
Six hundred meters away, I felt that those people were extraordinary beings.
Because Lawrence has not seen anything related to the extraordinary along the way, so even if these so-called extraordinary people are a group of people who are not even trainees, they are stronger than ordinary people and may only use a little brute force.
Warriors. But in such an environment, they can also be called the people who stand at the top of power in this plane.
There is no doubt that the place where these people can be stationed in this plane must be an extremely important place. So Lawrence found a place with thick bushes to hide himself, and then held the telescope and began to focus on observation.
During his observation, he found that the building complex under the pyramid could be considered well-guarded. On the city wall and on the road leading to the city, those sturdy warriors wearing linen loincloths around their waists, shirtless and wearing turbans or
They carry a quiver across their bodies, hold a triangular bow in their hands, or hold a large cowhide shield in one hand and a spear with a golden metal tip in the other to patrol in a small group.
These jackal warriors patrolled very regularly, so Lawrence saw the warriors stationed at the door of the linen tent next to the pyramid changing their defenses. And during the time when these warriors were changing their defenses, Lawrence saw through the opened tent door
Everything going on in the tabernacle.
This tent has walls on only three sides, and the side next to the pyramid is empty. And there is a door on the wall of the pyramid that is enveloped in the tent. This door is built of pure red stones.
, the patterns on it are some weird skulls and monsters, and they don’t look like the original structure of the pyramid.
And just outside this gate are two extraordinary people who have also not reached the trainee level guarding here. However, the copper armor with golden metal scales they wear and the crescent ax made of the same metal they hold in their hands indicate that
Their identities should be more noble and their combat effectiveness should be stronger.
But these were not what Lawrence paid attention to. The moment the curtain blocking the door was lifted, he saw at a glance the six-armed snake-man relief carved on the stone door, representing the bloody sky. This also shows that
People from the Bloody Sky came here.
After confirming this, he began to suspect that the strange runes on the pyramid and the blood-red top of the tower were not painted on the tower at the beginning of construction, but were painted on by the bloody sky to achieve some purpose.
This guess is very reasonable, because the earliest Hapi god was the god of the Nile and the god of fertility. Therefore, in the astral plane controlled by his church, theoretically there would be no such thing related to death and blood.
Runes. And it was confirmed that the power controlled by another force controlling this place, Bloody Sky, is just related to blood and death.
Eight hours later, the sky began to darken. Lawrence, who had mastered the shift rules of the guards in this place, easily released the [Camouflage Technique] to blend into the background color. Although there were some torches and braziers on the city wall, these uses
The light of the brazier or torch, which was fueled by animal fat or linseed oil, was so dim that the guards, who were just ordinary people, did not even notice Lawrence using metal hooks and ropes to climb over the wall.
After entering the area defined by the wall, Lawrence saw some things that he had not seen before because the wall blocked his view. For example, in front of the temple in front of the linen tent, there was an extremely flat square paved with light yellow polished square stone slabs.
This square is full.
In the middle of the square, there is a road paved with golden sand that connects the temple to the gate on the city wall. On both sides of this road, there are small five- to six-meter-high obelisks that do not match the surrounding environment at all.
monument.
According to the habits of the ancient Nile civilization, it was a very common practice to erect obelisks in front of various important temples or other buildings. They would record various temple-related information on the obelisks.
However, under normal circumstances, this kind of obelisk will be carved from gray, black or khaki stone. In some special and extraordinary areas, gold or crystal obelisks are carved. In short, on the whole, the ancient Nile civilization
When constructing the obelisk, great emphasis was placed on achieving harmony with the surrounding environment.
And now the obelisks standing on both sides of this sacred road leading to the temple are all carved from a stone as bright as blood, and they are not the traditional hieroglyphs, runes or flat surfaces of the ancient Nile gods.
Sculptures. Rather, they are some lifelike sculptures that appeared in the Age of Enlightenment after the end of the Dark Ages.
These carvings are all monsters that look very twisted. Some of them Lawrence had seen in the library of the Church of Knowledge, but most of them he had never seen before. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these monsters are all extremely evil.
The chaotic monster.
When Lawrence was close to those obelisks, he could feel the magic power emanating from these stone tablets, but he could also feel that the magic power on these stone tablets was extremely weak. Even the magic power on some stone tablets had disappeared. This meant that even if
These rooms used to have some purpose, but now they are just decorations.
Following the shadows in those rooms, Lawrence quickly lurked to the area closest to the tent. With the help of dark vision, the patrols and clergy who could only move around with dim torches nearby could not move around at all.
How to find Lawrence who uses magic to hide his figure.
However, the last seven or eight meters of the journey became the most troublesome part of the adventure, because there was a circle of torches surrounding the open space in front of the tent that illuminated it clearly. Lawrence did not feel that his simple [camouflage technique] could escape from this
The place muddles through.
But this is not without a solution. Lawrence quickly touched the unguarded side of the tent according to the terrain he just observed and the habits of these people. Then he threw two bottles of coma potion from the side almost simultaneously to the center and the group of guards at the door.
inside the door.
In an instant, two clouds of gray smoke instantly enveloped the surrounding space. The two warriors in the tent and the six warriors guarding the door of the tent fell to the ground at the same time. It had to be that the potion prepared by Fatina and the ratmen was indeed
It's very powerful, especially when facing these ordinary jackals who are just scratching the surface.
After the potion took effect, Lawrence took advantage of the moment when all the guards were unconscious, opened the door curtain and broke into the tent. Then, before the guards and clergy on the outside could react, he quickly rushed into the open door.
