Chapter 889 Sun Roulette

Hao Ren originally thought that a "spiritual detective" like Pierre who wandered on the edge of the magic realm would not have any good information channels, so he didn't pay much attention to what Pierre told him. After all, this kind of people are just equivalent to scavengers in the mysterious world. All they have access to is superficial knowledge that aliens disdain. Even demon hunters don't have much regard for this kind of people who wander between humans and aliens. Interested, but Hao Ren apparently ignored one point: there were many things that narrowly escaped being killed by demon hunters after the "Collapse of Myths", and the final destination of such things happened to be in the hands of humans who were not taken seriously by all forces. .

It's just that the number of these scattered heritages is really sparse, and their distribution is really messy. In the contemporary era when mystical doctrines are in overall decline, no one has sorted them out.

People like Pierre certainly don’t know much about the alien world in general. His explanation of “myth collapse” is also a deception created by those blabbering mystical scholars, but he mentioned The "Sun Roulette" is probably a real thing, because he mentioned the keyword "Shadow of God's Wrath", which makes it difficult not to think of those mysterious shadows that cause fights.

"What is a sun roulette?" Vivian also became interested in this term and asked curiously.

Pierre took out a crumpled scroll from his bag and carefully spread it out on the table under the dim light: "This scroll is very precious. I found it in an underground palace in Egypt and almost paid for it." I risk my life... I believe this thing depicts the sun disk."

Hao Ren and Vivian approached him curiously at the same time. They saw that the scroll was black and yellow in color, and its texture was like parchment. There were obvious signs of burnt marks on the edges of the scroll. This scroll, which is unknown how many years old, depicts an exquisite disk-shaped thing. The surface of the disk is distributed with circles of mysterious patterns. In the center of the pattern, there is a round hole that looks like a groove or a hole. The disk Lines representing sunlight are also drawn around it. Hao Ren noticed that two standing ancient Egyptians, a man and a woman, were also drawn in the corners of the disk. This seemed to be using human height to describe the size of the disk. If the scale was correct, the disk should be ten meters high.

Next to the disk pattern, you can see several paragraphs written in ancient Egyptian characters. Because these characters are right on the burnt part of the scroll, most of them are no longer legible. Only a few messy short words can be read. Sentence: "The sun's halo...gods and beasts...suppress and punish."

It seems to be the kind of incantation that the gods murmured in ancient times.

"Have you seen it? It's very beautiful. According to the age of this scroll, such a beautiful picture is simply impossible. The Egyptians at that time did not have such painting skills, and they did not make this kind of paper. Pierre pointed to the details on the scroll with a blushing face, "But these are indeed ancient Egyptian texts, so this should be left by an 'awakened one' who obtained mysterious knowledge, probably something like An ancient spiritual detective. Also, if you look here, you can see some traces of light gold on the surface of the disk. Golden dye was once applied here. After analyzing the composition of these pigments, I found that they contained gold. There is a legend in ancient Egyptian paintings. The characteristic is that they will faithfully color the things on the picture, the more important the things, the more so. Therefore, we can judge the race and living area of ​​the people in the picture based on the skin color of the characters on the Egyptian murals - about It was in this situation that Se’s Caiyi found the clue... Oh, it’s not important.”

"Gold pigment? This is indeed not a technique that the Egyptians of that era would use on scrolls." Vivian became more interested in this topic. "So the material of this disk may be gold?"

"Such a huge golden creation, and so exquisite. More importantly, it is connected with words like 'sun' and 'god'. This is undoubtedly the sun roulette," Pierre nodded vigorously, " Humans of that era couldn't build such a thing, and couldn't even imagine it, so only 'Tara' could create this kind of artifact. As far as I know, the sun wheel is a huge golden device, and the symbols on it depict very The profound magic mysteries are the key tools used by the Tara people to suppress the shadow of God’s wrath..."

Hao Ren interrupted him: "As far as you know, what is the Shadow of God's Wrath?"

"There is a legend among the detectives in the spiritual world that the earth was ruled by gods in ancient times. The gods that have become myths today all once existed, such as Odin and Zeus - these gods are very powerful, but they are not invincible. , because their arrogance attracted a disaster that befell them, that is, the Shadow of God's Wrath. The Shadow of God's Wrath is the dark side of the gods' hearts, an unstoppable shadow force that descends from the depths of the universe. On the earth, it tore apart the spiritual defenses of the ancient gods, triggering various melees. When the problem became more serious, the gods gathered and asked the 'Tara' clan, who also came from the dark deep space, to create an artifact. That is the Sun Roulette. The Sun Roulette is made of sunlight, so it can effectively fight against the dark power of the Shadow of God's Wrath. The most powerful warriors among the gods joined forces to launch a fierce battle in the sea of ​​clouds to the west of Mount Olympus. Drive the shadows of God's wrath to the side of the sun roulette, and finally seal them inside the roulette. But in the end, something disgraceful happened in this battle..."

"A dishonorable thing?" Hao Ren was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"The power of the Sun Roulette was so powerful that it made the gods greedy. They all tried to get their hands on the Roulette on the pretext of helping to guard the seal. So after the battle caused by the Shadow of God's Wrath, they Another melee driven by greed began..."

Vivian suddenly curled her lips and said, "What the hell, how could they fight with me here?"

Pierre was stunned: "Huh?"

"Uh, don't pay attention to her," Hao Ren awkwardly diverted Pierre's attention, "Just say it, it's best to treat us as ordinary people. I really want to know what the various versions of legends in your circles of supernatural detectives are. What kind of thing."

Pierre moved his mouth with a strange expression. When he got excited about talking, he always forgot the identity of the two people in front of him, but when he calmed down, he remembered that these two people were the "insiders" in the bizarre fairy tales in his mouth. Then a strong sense of disobedience came to my mind. But he still suppressed this feeling: "The legend goes like this, the gods fell into a second battle, but there was no winner in this battle. The sun roulette suddenly burst out with a force, killing all the gods who took action. After being severely injured, they realized that no one could control the power of the roulette wheel. Only Tara, these 'gods' from the dark deep space, were the most powerful. In the end, the roulette wheel was handed over to Tara. Keep it, the Tara people put the roulette wheel in their golden manor, if it is correct, it is the land under our feet."

Pierre's story came to an end, and Hao Ren began to sort out the newly obtained information.

The myths and legends circulated among humans are often distorted, but Pierre's story can still be partially consistent with Vivian's memory and Hesperius's description. The "Tara" in the story is undoubtedly the Ancatero family that lost contact not long ago. This family was not very active in the mythical era, but now it seems that they belong to a group of people who are powerful but have no secular intentions, and the wrath of God The shadow refers to the shadow of chaos. Detectives in the spiritual world believe that Tara comes from the dark deep space of the universe. This is probably a myth. Maybe the Tara people know that they are from an alien planet in another universe, and this theory has become "dark deep space" as it spreads. .

Currently, the biggest difference between the "Spirit World Detective Version" and the "Alien Family Heritage Version" is the addition of a sun roulette.

That thing seems to be the key element in sealing the Shadow of Chaos.

"Do you remember that you have built something similar?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivian, "Or you have seen something similar."

"I have no impression," Vivian shook her head, "But we should have sealed the Shadow of Chaos in something back then: it was an invisible and qualityless shadow that had to be sealed into something tangible to control."

"Even Hesperius and Wayne don't know about this roulette. Fortunately we met this spiritual detective, otherwise we might have missed the most critical thing after entering the Ancatero territory," Hao Ren sighed, "But do you think it's appropriate to let this spirit world detective continue his activities?"

Vivian shook her head: "His fanatical pursuit of knowledge is quite admirable, but it's better not to get this person involved. After all, he has a heart... who?!"

Vivian's eyes suddenly flickered in the middle of her words, she stared at the corner of the room and shouted in a low voice, and the surrounding air was immediately filled with sharp ice. And after she finished speaking, something suddenly appeared in the corner of the originally empty room.

A handful of silver-white flames rose from the ground and gradually formed into the shape of a person. The white-haired girl walked out of the flames and greeted Vivian and Hao Ren: "Long time no see."

Hao Ren was shocked: "Bai Huo?!"

"...It's white fire..."
