Chapter 515 Another Eldest Son

Vivian has many times evaluated the historical inheritance of short-lived species from the perspective of long-lived species. These evaluations are always profound and accurate. Just like the witch story circulated in the Andre family, just three hundred years of family inheritance will cause such a huge deviation from the truth at that time, not to mention the ten thousand years of historical records on the dream plane - in the middle There have been many twists and turns and interruptions, so it is understandable how much error has occurred in the legend that has been passed down to this day.

Nowadays, even the longer-lived races in the Dream Plane can’t figure out what the truth was back then.

People have always thought that the ancient magic empire's research on forbidden technologies offended the goddess. The artificial miracles built by the magic emperors were symbols of blasphemy. The three major wonders, including the Sunset Volcano, have been regarded as evidence of deviance for many years, but who Can you imagine that these things are actually used to suppress the eldest son?

Although the suppressive effect of these things is probably quite limited.

At the foot of Sunset Volcano is a large stone wilderness. The land made up of layers of huge black rocks extends to the coastline on the east side. And on a small mound between this stone wilderness and the limestone fortress is An old monastery that looks almost abandoned.

This monastery is the last facility of the Huiyao Sect on the east side of the kingdom, and it is only managed by a few old ascetics.

The mottled and peeling outer wall of the church is covered with thorns. Surrounding the monastery are only large pieces of gravel but a few sparsely growing salt-tolerant bushes. From the appearance alone, no one would have guessed that this is the watch church of the second sacred cave. Hao Ren and the others did not waste time in the gray stone fortress. After a brief handover with the fortress defenders, Ofra led the team directly to this dilapidated monastery. The entrance to the sacred cave was under the monastery.

Lily looked at the dilapidated appearance of this ancient monastery and sighed with emotion: "This place is so shabby... Can a fortress and an old monastery really protect such an important place as Sunset Mountain?"

“Don’t underestimate these ancient facilities,” Archbishop Auburn shook his head. “Three ancient ruins are guarded by corresponding churches, the Lake Center Church in Beinz Diocese, the old monastery in Sunset Volcano, and the Giant Tree of Life. These three facilities are the oldest and most powerful magical nodes. The church system of the entire kingdom is providing energy to these three nodes. Although they look dilapidated, even an army is difficult to break through. Defense here.”

"The church in the middle of Beinz Blood Lake was destroyed in an instant. Later investigation found that the eldest son completely cut off the magical operation of the chapel at that time." Ofra shrugged. "It turns out that the eldest son's power is far beyond our understanding. Even the ancient magic empire couldn't fight it, and our current magical system is just fragments, let alone useless."

Archbishop Auburn shook his head and said no more. The monks of the monastery opened the entrance to the underground: this entrance is located in the back garden of the monastery's chapel. From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary large tombstone. Hao Ren estimated that the church in the center of Beinz Blood Lake also had such an entrance, leading to the "holy coffin" storage point under the church. But before he could find the entrance, the entire chapel was swallowed by the whirlpool.

The three sacred caves where the eldest son is sealed actually have the same structure: the eldest son sleeps in a huge underground cavity. The underground cavity is surrounded by a maze-like cave system, and above this system there is an artificial rock shell (constructed Those who were the ancient magic emperors), the rock shell held up the upper surface, and a small church was built directly above the entire system (the builder was the first pope of the Glory Sect). Underground in the chapel is a safety device that constantly exerts "hypnosis" on the eldest son, the Holy Coffin.

The entire structure is like a silver nail driven into the coffin to prevent the resurrection of evil spirits - the world has spent ten thousand years protected by this fragile safety device.

Go down a steep rocky passage to reach the underground part of the chapel. This is a medium-sized underground palace, very spacious, but with a simple structure and no decoration. It is a completely practical facility.

Hao Ren followed Archbishop Auburn out of the corridor and saw a spacious rock hall illuminated by magic glow stones. There was a stone platform in the center of the rock hall. The stone platform was empty, but the slight depression in the center seemed to prove that Something was once stored here. Around the hall, many gray-robed monks can be seen meditating - gray robes are the dress of ascetics.

"These are the ascetic groups sent from the royal capital," Ofra explained in a low voice. "The church and the royal capital have sent a lot of extra people to monitor the movements of the two sacred caves. However, if ordinary people get too close to the tentacles, they will Being controlled by the mind, most people can only guard in the gray stone fortress. Only these ascetics and some high-ranking knights went underground. The high-ranking knights are in other crypts."

Hao Ren nodded. He knew that the place where the eldest son slept was like a huge underground maze. There should be countless criss-crossing corridors and huge crypts nearby. The knights and monks from the royal capital should have gone to various crypts. Yes, the ascetics here should be responsible for guarding the entrance.

The surface of Sunset Volcano looks unchanged, but layers of defense lines have been set up underground - lines of defense that only have a psychological comfort effect.

Archbishop Auburn pointed to the stone platform in the center of the long hall: "This was once used to place the holy coffin, but after opening a layer of the shell of the sacred cave, we moved the holy coffin to a deeper place."

Then he led the team through the hall and continued towards another corridor that sloped downwards. It didn't take long for everyone to pass through a stone wall that looked like it had just been cut through, and the road ahead suddenly became clear.

"What we just passed through was the outer wall of the church's crypt, which was broken last month." Another bishop looked back at the black stone wall engraved with Laita runes. "From here on, we enter the influence of the eldest son. It’s within range.”

Several accompanying ministers in the team immediately clenched the magic amulets in their hands: these people are ordinary people. They do not have the strong mental power of monks or the strong will of high-level knights. It is just that their mission forces them to go deep into the eldest son's body. The realm, relying on those blessed amulets, they can move freely in this underground world.

"I feel a little hot," Nangong Wuyue was the first to feel the change in the surrounding environment after leaving for a while, "And there seems to be a bit of... sulfur smell in the air?"

"We are under the Sunset Volcano," Ofra smiled. "The Werewolf Magic Emperor Sanur created the world's largest and most complex underground lava river down here. There will be some heat and gas coming from the gaps in the rocks. It seeped in. But don’t worry, we have confirmed that there is no leakage.”

Nangong Wuyue curled his lips and created a layer of water mist around him: "Tsk tsk...Why do we always encounter this kind of thing? I've started to lose my scales in the past few days."

Hao Ren: "..."

Everyone went deeper along the underground passage. The further they went, the wider it became. They passed several forks and relatively spacious stone chambers. Just as Hao Ren expected, there were three to five high-ranking people at each fork and stone chamber. Knights or monks were stationed. They built simple camps and defense lines in this underground world, monitoring any possible disturbance in the maze-like tunnels.

At the same time, Hao Ren finally saw what he wanted to see: the eldest son's tentacles began to appear on the surrounding cave walls.

When Archbishop Auburn saw those winding and huge tentacles, his face finally lost its calmness like a stone sculpture. The mosaic on his head even shook slightly. As a professional who tempers his spirit, and is familiar with "Origin Blood "A high-level clergyman who is very sensitive to the "Origin Power". He feels the powerful power and crazy ideas contained in these tentacles more clearly than others: "These are the outer tentacles, and only a small part of them have mental interference. The ability will not be affected as long as you avoid it carefully, so it is relatively safe here. But if you continue forward, you will enter..."

"It will enter the key 'organ' of the eldest son. I know, we have gone in personally," Hao Ren nodded, "These tunnels should still be in the outer layer of the cave. Have you opened the outer shell of the inner area?"

"It's right in front, but we didn't open it." Archbishop Auburn nodded and led everyone towards a fork in the road. "We searched for ten days and finally found the ancient magic emperor in this maze-like tunnel. What was left as a weak point in the barrier was that, disturbingly, there was a gap in it from which part of the Firstborn's tentacles spread out."

After moving forward for about ten minutes, the team came to what Auburn called the "barrier entrance." This is a huge circular cave. Ancient and sacred texts can be seen everywhere on the walls around the cave. They are the seals and messages left by the first pope. Hundreds of ascetics and paladins built fortresses and defense lines in this cave, closely monitoring the several tentacles spreading out from the west side of the cave. Hao Ren saw those tentacles protruding from a huge crack instead of "penetrating" tightly from the rock like other places. This showed that these tentacles used a more violent method when breaking through the barrier. They consciously Expanded his access channels.

But it seems that this should be just a short-term "false awakening". Now those tentacles have calmed down again. Judging from the marks around the tentacles, they last "twitched" many years ago.

"It's scary," Ofra smacked her lips, "When we don't know it...how many things are happening underground on this planet?"

Hao Ren cautiously approached the tentacles, and after confirming that there was no response from them, he stepped on them boldly. He climbed along the tentacles to the crack in the stone wall and looked at the situation on the other side.

On the other side was the secret room where the eldest son was sleeping. He saw a huge stone chamber filled with ominous red light. Countless tentacles gathered from all directions to form a tangled and twisted sarcoma-like organ. The organ was dormant, with a faint red light on its surface. Light changes light and dark at an extremely slow speed.

"The good news is that he slept very solidly. The bad news is that this 'tumor' looks bigger than the one in the Dragon's Back Mountains." Hao Ren jumped back to the ground, "Where is the holy coffin? I want to analyze its principle."

Archbishop Auburn pointed to a small stone house in the center of the knight's station: "It's right there."
