Chapter 814 Return to Dorasil

As the microbiomes in the clouds awaken from dormancy, the underground world welcomes the morning in the cloud light. Pieces of pure white clouds lit up one after another like light panels that were powered on in sequence, and a mysterious glow fell from the top of the clouds to illuminate the entire grassland. The locals have their own worldview to explain the alternation of day and night and the phenomenon of wind and rain in this world. They believe that a huge monster breathes at the end of the world. The smoke spewed by the monster forms the clouds that cover the earth, and a huge monster called "Kudla" The firebird flies out of the monster's nostrils every morning. The firebird lights up the clouds and mist, and then the light shines on the earth.

A team came to a high slope near the ancient city of Dorasil. Vivian and Hao Ren were standing at the highest point observing the distribution of city buildings. There were several small bats hovering over the city. They were using ultrasonic waves to detect those buildings. Detail of megalithic ruins. Vivian saw some secrets of the city in the vision of the blood crystal, and now she is looking for parts that corroborate the vision through her bat clone.

Geisel and Bonia were also brought over, and now the latter is praying to the clouds with her eyes closed, constantly uttering some difficult sentences that are extremely strange for her age. Hesiana was bored and asked Geisel curiously: "What is she doing?"

Geisel explained Bonia's actions: "The saint is thanking the giant flame bird "Kudra" for lighting up the sky and bringing light to the world, and at the same time praying that Kudela will remember to return to the nest on time when dusk falls. , so that the world will not usher in the legendary "Burial of Light"."

"Light burial?"

"If the giant flame bird forgets to return to its nest, the day will continue forever, and the clouds will continue to light up for more than ten days and nights. By then, the temperature of the entire world will rise, and the plants will be burned by the light - the myth records several times like this "If such an incident occurs," Geisel introduced the mythology of this world to Hesiana, "if such an incident occurs, the saints, elders and warriors of all tribes will go to the Pillar of Eternity guarded by their tribes and knock on the shell of the pillar. , this will remind Kudela to return to his nest, and the day will be over."

He should be talking about the situation when the fragile ecology of this world is accidentally out of balance. After all, everything here is barely maintained by a cradle shell made by the eldest son. A slight fluctuation in this system may bring unimaginable turbulence to the entire world. The so-called "beating the shell of the Pillars of Eternity" should have a certain effect, because this is the only way for surface creatures to communicate with the eldest son underground: the rich nerves of the eldest son are connected under those pillars of eternity. These processes have been endowed with mysterious mythological meanings, so Hesiana could only curl her lips after hearing it: "Uh-huh... quite interesting legend, quite interesting."

At this time, Vivian finished communicating with her bat group, and her eyes fell on the largest pyramid on the side of Dora Siler: "There is a lot of space in that building, and it should lead to the underground. There are several surrounding The pyramids have tunnels connected to them. Bonia, do you know the legends about these pyramids?"

Bernia just finished praying to the clouds, and she hurriedly ran to Vivian's side: "The Great Pyramid is your throne, and the surrounding pyramids represent the three kingdoms, three theocracies, and three autonomous dominions of the Sun Dynasty era."

"Have any of you checked the underground of this city?"

Bonia thought for a while and shook her little head vigorously: "No! Because the city is sacred, and the foundation of the city is the foundation of the world. It is in the neck of the giant Toca. If the city is disturbed, Toca will be disturbed. 'When he gets angry, he will throw the whole world off his back and throw it into chaos. Of course, if you want to move, that's no problem... right?"

The little saint still retains the curiosity and recklessness that should be expected at this age. While she seriously takes those mythical stories as true, she still recklessly asks the "goddess" to verify these things. Vivian was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Oh, Toca... In your mythology, I seem to have built the entire world on the back of this hunchbacked old man. Gee, my imagination is so rich, I simply don't know How did you come up with it?"

Bonia blinked: "Isn't it?"

"That's right," Vivian smiled, patted the little saint on the head, and then pointed to the big pyramid, "Let's go there."

The Great Pyramid located on the side of Dorasil is a magnificent but only decorative building. It occupies one-tenth of the city's area and is made of heavy white stone bricks. The side of the pyramid facing the wilderness is smooth and unobtrusive. On the side facing the city, there is an unusually wide staircase, leading from the bottom of the pyramid to the flat top of the tower. With this staircase as the dividing line, the towers on both sides of it are covered with huge and mysterious ancient reliefs. Those reliefs depict a large number of animal and plant landscapes and social life scenes that existed during the Sun Dynasty. They are almost a volume. Historical scrolls carved in stone. Hao Ren and the others didn't have time to take a closer look when they came to this city last time. Now they couldn't help but marvel at the reliefs on the pyramid.

Vivian stood at the bottom of the stairs and pointed to the reliefs distributed along the pyramid: "Look at them from bottom to top. These things record the history of the last period of the Sun Dynasty. The bottom floors are all pictures of animals and plants. , and further up are scenes of social life, and near the top of the pyramid, you can see people taking refuge in the highlands and wilderness. If it is correct, the abstract painting on the top of the pyramid describes the last stage: the closing of the sky."

Hao Ren stroked the ancient weathered stones and asked casually: "But what we are looking for is underground, right?"

"Yes, but the entrance is here. We have to find a way to open this thing..." Vivian said while casting her sights on several small pyramids around the main tower. "I remember seeing these towers in the blood crystal. It is activated and connected by light...the entrance to the underground is blocked by these huge stone buildings, and certain devices must be activated."

The data terminal buzzed and vibrated next to Hao Ren's shoulder: "Tsk, it's so troublesome, a large amount of technical support can handle everything."

Hao Ren smoothly pulled the guy off his shoulders: "Get out, this is a cultural relic, and are you planning to blow up their temple in front of the locals?"

Vivian ignored the unscrupulous conversation between Hao Ren and the PDA. She walked back and forth in front of the huge relief prints while recalling the fragmented fragments in her mind. Since these fragments were not her own memories, Therefore, it was quite difficult to recall it, but since the real thing was right in front of her, she was able to successfully match the information one by one with the relief in front of her. Finally she came to one of the reliefs, which was tilted and inlaid on the base of the pyramid. The center of the picture depicts a sun shining on the earth. This is what she's looking for.

Vivian's fingers brushed over the rough lines that represented sunlight: "Sunshine is a symbol of the old world. In this world, 'sun' is synonymous with 'ancient secrets', so if you want to open this place, you need to..."

She struck the relief three times and cried out in the language of this world: "Praise the sun!"

Hesiana slapped her forehead: "Why do I feel so weird - the ancestor of the vampire family is actually praising the sun!"

Vivian glared at her: "This is the password!"

"But your password doesn't seem to work." Hao Ren pointed at the motionless relief to remind Vivian.

Yes, nothing happened after Vivian "Praised the Sun". The relief didn't shine, the pyramid didn't swing open an underground entrance or anything like that, the scene was quiet as usual. Vivian frowned and tapped the relief again: "Maybe it's due to poor contact... Praising the sun?"

"Praise the moon?"

"Praise to Mars?"

"Praise to Saturn?"

"Praise for Enceladus? Praise for Arcturus? Praise for Castor?"

The data terminal suddenly let out a scream and flew over, interrupting Vivian's blind experiment. Then it fired a scorching beam of light directly from the corner of the fuselage and hit the relief. It cut the stone slab with sparks and shouted: "You have to know , this thing has been here for ten thousand years! Do you think the voice-activated switches in every world are as durable as those made by the Empire?"

The terminal increased the power of the beam as he spoke, and the thick stone slabs were cut like butter. No one else could stop it even if they wanted to. However, it was obvious that the terminal paid attention to scanning the structure behind it when cutting the stone slab. It cut the relief in two along a weird path. After the two stone slabs fell to the ground, the internal device underneath was exposed without any damage.

Some complex runes and fine crystals are inlaid on a metal cast substrate, looking mysterious and original.

The data terminal emits a blue light, scanning the connection between these ancient magic symbols, while emitting some small electric sparks to stimulate the tarnished crystals: "This machine should be able to give it an initial signal... If the part buried underground If it can be slightly more durable than this thing, the whole system might actually be able to start up.”

Continuous electric sparks hit those ancient symbols. After seeing this, Duncan whispered to Cassandra: "I saw that the agents who stole cars in the movies lit fires like this." "Well, stealing motorcycles. Cars are pretty much the same.”

After hearing this, Hesiana couldn't help but muttered: "But I can't understand why TM opened the ancient ruins like this..."

Just as the three of them were muttering to each other, the "car stealing technique" at the data terminal actually worked.

I saw those ancient runes suddenly brightening, and then a low rumble came from inside the pyramid. The sound went from low to high, and finally the entire ground began to shake!
