1051 Gods World War
On the long staircase that should have been full of graceful and sweet elf priests, at this moment stood the royal guards wearing powered exoskeleton armor.
These soldiers held their spears in their hands, raised their chins, and greeted their king with the most majestic posture.
The surrounding braziers have long been replaced with lights for lighting, and there are bundles of wires of various colors in some corners.
After all, before Chris and Andrea came here, there were countless human and elf scientists and scholars who had studied the ancient civilization of the elves here.
There is no way, on the one hand, the Ellanhill Empire has been curious about the ancient civilization of the elves for a long time, and on the other hand, it is also to prove that the ancient civilization of the elves is not a threat to the Ellanhill Empire.
Chris is not a fool either. At that time, the relationship between the elves and the Alan Hill Empire was far from being as close as it is today.
At that time, if you don't guard against the elves, you may be a real idiot. Even now, Chris's security consultants still have complaints about Chris and Andrea visiting the Temple of the Moon God together.
Of course, Chris felt that the security consultants were too cautious. Although his current magical power could not do anything to Andrea, he still had some confidence in self-protection.
If he was still guarding against the elves and his own woman at this time, Chris felt that what his emperor did was too boring.
Even so, he was fully prepared. More than 2,000 guards in the entire Moon God Temple were royal guards, not even a single elf magician was used.
In this case, as long as Andrea doesn't "snap kill" Chris, Chris will have time to retreat to a safe place under the cover of the Guards.
But Chris still believed that Andrea would not do anything to him—it could be regarded as a man's intuition, or his confidence in his abilities.
The two walked up the long stairs step by step until they reached the gate of the temple. The stone gate that was supposed to be here had collapsed because of the earthquake or the impact of the meteorite. ...
Anyway, in the past ten thousand years, the outermost layer of the temple has been damaged too much.
The magic defense barrier that was supposed to work normally has long been unable to play any role.
This ten thousand years is enough to turn too many things into dust: even if a mine of magic spar is prepared,
It can't support the magic consumption of the Moon God Temple for so many years.
"The elves in the past... were too obsessed with the pursuit of magic." Andrea said with emotion as she looked at the collapsed and shattered gate.
The magic lamps that were supposed to be bright no longer worked properly, and they were replaced by brighter electric lighting.
The corridors and halls are very bright at this moment, because it is still day and not night here in lunar time.
The moon Siris is not the same concept as the earth's satellite moon, it also has its own rotation, and the speed of rotation is the same as that of Alan Siris.
In other words, there is no backside of the moon here, and the telescopes of the Alan Hill Empire can naturally watch the remains of the Temple of the Moon on the ground.
The difference is that, for the elves, they can only look up at the sky and see the ruins left by their ancestors, while the Alan Hill Empire can touch it...
"Behind this wall...is the place where the priests used to rest..." Andrea looked at a wall full of mural carvings, and said with some sentimentality.
"I've read the report about it." Chris said to Andrea: "When our astronauts came here, most of them were still lying on their beds."
"They spend their whole lives serving the great Moon God." Andrea also has faith, but compared to the rise of the elves, her belief in the Moon God is not as pious as those priests.
"If we had such powerful space technology and so many spaceships at that time, more elves might have survived." She said with emotion, and walked into the huge hall that could accommodate thousands of people.
This is the main part of the temple, which bears the main function of offering sacrifices to the moon god. The biggest festival of the year was held here.
When the elves were at their strongest, the Great Elf King would lead the nobles and officials of the elves here to worship the great moon god and pray for the eternity of magic and life.
For a typical long-lived species, time has little meaning to the elves, so their understanding of death is obviously different from that of humans.
This can be seen from their classics. They have no descriptions like the God of Death. They believe that death is the end of magic, so their desire and pursuit of magic has reached the level of obsession.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be able to study space magic, and finally opened the taboo, causing disasters, and completely destroying their homeland.
"If they had mastered the space technology, then there wouldn't be so many things later." Chris said with a smile.
He raised his head and looked at the center of the hall, the statue representing the goddess of wisdom, magic and eternity.
Taking today's technology of the Alan Hill Empire as an example, this statue cannot be described as spectacular.
After all, the statue of Longsadelet standing in Calenoque is not much smaller than the statue of the goddess of the moon in front of him.
It's just that the statue in front of me, using some secret method, still maintains a faint surge of magic, lifelike.
It is true that it is lifelike, as if the statue has a soul - if Chris prays to this statue every day, he may also believe that there are gods in this world.
It is conceivable that if in an environment full of magic, there are some moderately bright magic lamps shining around, maybe this place will be more beautiful.
"Her feet... should be full of magical energy, like a pool." Andrea walked to the feet of the statue, and also looked up at the holy face of the goddess.
Chris still maintains due respect for the goddess. He knows that there was once an emperor who started a world war of the gods just because he had nothing to do with the statue of the goddess.
So Chris will not have any evil thoughts about the goddess in front of him, he just admires the art of the elves at its peak.
Just when Chris was lamenting the artistic attainments of the elves, Andrea pressed his hand on an ordinary stone, and a burst of magical ripples appeared on the smooth stone.
In the next second, a voice sounded from behind the two people, causing everyone in the hall to be nervous: "I have finally waited for this day... the king of the elves... has returned here..."
