"Ah! Brother Ryan, what's wrong?" Dove was thinking about her own thoughts and didn't notice that Ryan had stopped. She bumped into Ryan's back, screamed in surprise, and then asked.
Dove didn't hear Ryan's answer, so she looked forward. The sight in front of her made Dove stunned. The thick pile of fur in her hand fell to the ground, and she said in a trembling voice: "A miracle, This is a miracle.”
Dove opened her eyes wide, because what appeared in front of her was a huge space. The difference between this space and other spaces was that except for some fluorescent plants, there was no other light in the other empty caves. There is a hazy light in this space. In the hazy light, there is a tall building. This building occupies most of the entire space. The most significant thing is that in front of the building, there is a huge statue, which emits The source of the hazy light is this statue.
Ryan saw the magnificent building in front of him. Due to the distance, he could not tell what material it was made of. However, even like this, it was difficult to cover up the majestic momentum. This building was similar to a large temple. It was the appearance of Alliance City. Those temples in Alliance City have large and small temples due to freedom of belief. In front of the temple are the statues of the respective gods that believers believe in, so Ryan knew this building was a temple when he saw it. But this temple is too huge, nearly a hundred meters high, and the statue is even taller than the temple, more than a hundred meters high. However, Ryan has never been interested in so-called gods, so he can't I know what kind of statue this is from the God's Mansion, but Ryan knows one thing, which is why several races in the underground are in peace with each other. You must know that even if they are one race, they are fighting each other, let alone different races. Now Ryan understands .
Because in this space, there are countless kobolds standing, yes, they are kobolds. The armor on these kobolds is several times more gorgeous than the kobolds who attacked Mu'an City last time, and they are taller. After visual inspection, they are enough. They are more than two meters tall. According to the comparison of the physique and strength of the kobolds, these kobold warriors are at least level 4 warriors. There are tens of thousands of people below. If a level 4 warrior is the leader of a small tribe, So one can imagine the number of kobolds in this dark area, and now these kobolds are obviously performing a religious ceremony.
I saw dozens of kobold warriors who were taller than the surrounding kobolds, wearing different costumes, followed by a few older kobold mages. Ryan looked carefully for a while and found that this place was obviously divided into two parts. , According to Ryan's analysis, one type of kobold without armor is of a higher level and is obviously involved in religious rituals, while the rest of the ones wearing armor are obviously believers.
Because the distance was too far, Ryan could only clearly see the movements of these kobold priests, but could not hear the sounds. Ryan looked at Dove, whose face was pale next to him. Ryan sighed slightly, and then pulled Dove's cold hand. Little Hands continued to carefully observe the following with the night vision binoculars. I don’t know if it was destined that Ryan’s night vision glasses and night vision binoculars were not lost, but Dove’s was lost. Fortunately, Ryan was there. The place is hundreds of meters above the ground. It is a raised rock, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the kobolds below. With so many kobolds, it is no wonder that the dwarves, gnomes, dark elves and humans in the Underdark can live in harmony. of getting along with each other.
"Don't be afraid, let's take a closer look." Ryan felt his hand being held tightly by Dove's hands. Ryan looked at Dove, whose face turned pale, and whispered comfort, and Dove heard Rui
If so, show a smile.
While watching, Ryan was secretly surprised. Ryan discovered that this was a sacrificial activity, and the sacrifices were made of some living dwarves, gnomes, dark elves, and even a small number of humans. These people were killed by strong kobolds.
The priest carried them into the temple, and the end was predictable. Nearly a hundred people were carried into the temple one after another. Ryan was very glad that Dove did not see the scene in front of him.
What makes Ryan strange is that these kobold priests came out as soon as they entered, but the kobold mages who were obviously the leaders of the priests did not enter the temple. Is there anything special about this? It's just that each sacrifice is being carried.
When entering, these kobold mages will emit a green light and shoot at the sacrifice. When doing this, whether it is the kobold warrior lying on the ground or the priest, it gives Ryan a solemn feeling. This feeling
It's strange, and as the sacrifices are carried in, the light on the unknown statue becomes brighter and brighter.
"Is it a real miracle?" Ryan looked at the scene in front of him and was completely shocked. Although Ryan didn't know much, he still vaguely knew the difference between the statue of the god and the residence of the god. The statue of the god was just a dead object.
, but the God's Palace has divine power in it, and the statues that can respond to believers are called God's Palace. In other words, the statues worshiped by the kobolds really exist, and they can also give replies. The God's Palace that can give replies.
There are not many in this world, but most of them appear during major sacrifices every year. This is called a miracle.
"No, it's not a miracle!" After Ryan was surprised, he overturned this guess, because miracles can show great pressure. If it is really a miracle, then he and Dove should be able to feel it.
And the brighter and brighter light in front of you does not give people the slightest feeling. In other words, it is just like the lights on the earth, not even the light of magic, because it can emit such a wide range of magic light, it will definitely produce violent magic fluctuations.
.
Moreover, Ryan also knows that within the scope of a miracle, only this god's mansion has the greatest power. For example, in the City of Angels in the Empire of Light, there are only light magic elements for several kilometers around the statue of the God of Light.
There is the Earth Goddess in Alliance City. Ryan just stepped into the Earth Goddess's temple and he only felt the element of earth magic and no other elements at all. Therefore, the strength of the priests who can enter the temple to practice is very terrifying, but
To become a priest, you need not only talent, but also a sincere heart, the latter being the most important.
Ruien narrowed his eyes slightly. The huge statues and temples in front of him all showed how extraordinary this god's residence was. The statues were not built casually. There were rules. It is said that there are many kinds of gods. The specific one of Ruien was not very clear.
Understand, so who must have built such a large temple? Are they the kobolds below?
"No, it's impossible. Look at these kobolds. They don't even know how to make armor. How can they build such a big statue?" Ryan looked carefully at the kobold warriors lying on the ground. The armor on these warriors was obviously
It was made of iron pieces, and the manufacturing process was very backward. Moreover, these iron pieces obviously had the characteristics of dwarf forging, so Ryan denied that the temple was built by kobolds.
Just when Ryan was thinking wildly, the light on the statue finally reached its brightest, and the prostrate kobold warriors below were howling crazily. As for the meaning, Ryan definitely didn't understand, and Ryan couldn't figure it out.
The man was howling, but Ryan turned around and saw Dove's surprised face, and was slightly startled.
"Alas!" Ryan knows what death is like. In his mind, this kind of light is not as shocking as that of a high-power searchlight, but don't forget that in the underdark, the dark place, there is such a
A large area of light, then it is not a miracle. Not to mention this dark area, even on the surface, it may also be called a miracle, because such a wide range of brightness without the slightest magic fluctuation is originally a magical thing.
Ryan is even more curious about this.
"Girl, let's go down and take a look." After a long time, both Ryan and Dove had a meal and slept for a while. The kobold warriors below finally disappeared one after another, leaving only dozens of kobolds.
The priests, and the kobold priests lived in a cave far away from the temple. Ryan was wondering why these kobold priests didn't live in the temple. Could it be that they were not adapted to the temple environment? Ryan observed
After a long time, I finally learned about the situation of the temple below. There are about 6 passages around the temple. This is Ryan's conclusion based on the shift change of the kobold warriors guarding the passage. There are 4 kobold warriors in one passage. Ryan discovered in total
There were 24 kobolds in one shift, and only 4 were visible. The invisible ones must be on the other side of the temple, and there was not a single kobold in or near the temple. Fortunately, the platform where Ryan was on
, the nearest passage was several hundred meters away. Ryan decided to go down and explore, so he turned to Dove and said.
Dove opened her mouth in surprise, looked at the temple, then at Ryan, and replied eagerly: "It's too dangerous, this is a miracle."
"Hehe, miracle, a trick." Ryan looked at the temple in the distance and smiled. If it were another magician, he would think so, because such a huge light can illuminate a square kilometer.
Bright light is a miracle, but for a city accustomed to bright lights, this thing becomes extremely ordinary.
"A trick?" Dove looked at Ryan in surprise and repeated in a low voice.
"Okay, little girl, you stay here, I'll go check it out." After Ryan said that, he walked towards the back of the passage. Ryan actually didn't want to take Dove with him, but he was worried that Dove was here and wanted to come.
The only way to go is to temporarily seal the passage behind with earth magic. As for how to seal it, Ryan only has one idea in his mind.
When Dove heard Ryan's words, she was slightly startled, then quickly hugged Ryan and shouted hoarsely: "No, you can't leave me, I want to go with you."
"Uh." Ryan was stunned by Dove's sudden reaction. Ryan vaguely felt that the relationship between him and Dove was not as simple as he thought. Ryan let out a surprised ugh. You know
Dove is not yet an adult, and Ryan is both sad and happy. What hurts is that Dove is not yet an adult, and he cannot do any immoral things. What makes him happy is that he has someone who admires him, and he is still a dark elf who is famous for his elegance and arrogance.
, at this time, Ryan felt like a strange uncle who was pestered by a little girl. It was not that the strange uncle wanted to take the little girl to see goldfish, but that the little girl was crying and shouting that she wanted to go.
"Okay, but we have to make good preparations." Ryan gave up trying to convince Dove because Ryan didn't want to leave Dove alone here. If anything happened, Ryan wouldn't have time to regret it.
"Okay." Dove's face turned red, she lowered her head in shame, and replied in a low voice. Ryan looked at Dove's shy look and sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, Ryan was forced to enter the temple.
This passage is originally a dead end, and one side is the way you came. Needless to say, with the grudge-holding character of high-level monsters, the three-headed hell dog will not leave without two or three months of hard work, and there must be a soil lizard on the other fork in this road.
Ryan didn’t want to face the crowd. Ryan’s decision to enter the temple was made after careful observation, because Ryan found that even the kobold priests did not dare to enter, or could not enter the temple, and these priests also had the biggest
His weakness is that he doesn't wear armor, which is easier for Ryan to deal with than the thick-scaled lizard leader.
"But it's so high, how are we going to get down?" Dove looked at the height of nearly 200 meters and asked Ryan doubtfully, because Dove really couldn't think of any way to get down safely.
After hearing Dove's words, Ryan magically rushed to his feet, pulled out some white silk threads from his waist, and then connected the three pieces of silk threads to each other, and then put several decorative metal rings on the boots with several clicks.
It becomes a simple descending device.
"Snow spider silk?" Dove looked at the silk thread in Ryan's hand carefully and asked doubtfully.
"Smart!" Ryan did not hesitate to praise him, and his proud expression also betrayed his current mood. Indeed, the Snow Spider is a level 5 monster that does not live in groups. It is not only highly poisonous, huge in size, but also haunted.
Weird, the best thing is to fall from the sky and then kill the prey, and the snow spider is white, so it has such a name, but the silk of this snow spider is very tough, and it is usually the best material used to weave inner armor, and Ryan
Fortunately, I acquired 3 pieces before this big trial. You must know that this piece of spider silk is probably more than 100 meters long. Ryan folded two of the pieces to make leggings, and wrapped another one around his waist. Originally, Rui...
Yes, they were collected to make a magician's robe, but this required too much spider silk, at least 10 spider silks, so Ryan thought of the ropes used in the expedition, so he refined several fine iron metal rings.
