Chapter 1195: Dome of the Gods
Bang bang bang, the small cart slammed into the gravel in front of it. Burning novels?`
This time, Ivan noticed that there was a layer of protective magic on the surface of these small carts, which allowed it to break through the sand easily.
No wonder I couldn't feel the vibration when I was inside before.
"These cars are so scary, I almost fainted. Just like the passage we walked down, the goblins always pay attention to cost, not comfort. In their eyes, the most important thing is gold , they don’t want to spend more money on things they don’t think are useful.” Lavier said, taking a big breath of air, “But it’s okay now, when I came here with Mr. Zosey’s excavation team last year, it was still Not having this railroad, but sliding down a tube, at least three thousand feet above the ground, would be an absolute nightmare..."
This kind of high-intensity friction between the skin and the pipeline is terrifying just thinking about it.
"The skin directly rubbed against the metal tube?"
"Yeah, that was the case at first, but then the objection was too great, and the goblins figured out a way to put a lot of lubricating fluid in that sealed narrow pipe. Believe me, it was a nightmare within a nightmare. Lubricating fluid friction, not to mention the sticky and disgusting feeling, the wizards who use the pipes have to use the bubble head spell to prevent themselves from accidentally drowning in the lubricating fluid." Lavier continued, trembling , obviously recalling something bad, "At the beginning of this year, a goblin really accidentally choked to death, you know, they were so short that Gringotts installed these railroad tracks here. I heard , they are very reluctant to do that because it adds a significant portion of the cost, so they charge for using the carts."
Aiwen remembered that on the platform just now, those wizards who were dissatisfied with their jumping in line yelled that they paid the money and so on.
It turned out to be like this, goblins are really stingy to the extreme, it's really not easy to take advantage of them.
"Greedy goblin!" he whispered.
"That's right, but they can still communicate. As long as gold is not involved, goblins are not bad creatures. To be honest, wizards like Mr. Said are much stronger. You just saw them, and those stupid Muggles have a strong prejudice against women." Lavier said, wrinkling his nose, as if thinking of something, did not continue, "Now is not the time to talk about these, let's go to the Dome of God to see Bar."
"Don't you have to wait for others?"
"No, the pendulum told me before, he asked me to show you around first, and then go to the obelisk to meet." Lavie said, "Come on, I dare say you will definitely be shocked .”
Under her leadership, Aiwen left the temporary platform through a corridor.
This corridor seems to be a gap in the rock wall, and it is dark inside, but there is no need to worry about falling or getting lost.
Because it was too narrow, Aiwen almost walked past the walls on both sides.
As soon as he came out of the corridor, his eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of Aiwen was a cyan quaint stone door with carved patterns on it, surrounded by eight huge circular columns, a full four hundred feet high, and each column was carved with exquisite pharaoh reliefs.
The statue wears the unique snake-shaped crown of the Pharaoh, and it is the image of a young and handsome boy. His hands are wrapped around his chest. Unlike the pharaohs holding hooks and shackles that Ivan saw before, the young pharaoh in front of him holds a scepter in his left hand, surrounded by gems at the top, and a magic wand in his right hand.
"This is Ramses II!" Lavier whispered. "During his reign, he was a god, at least as powerful as we understand God. Well, Alvin, don't take those stairs, and don't get close That front door, the curse on it has not been broken, we will pass through that place."
She pointed to the right, and Aiwen saw an entrance opened on the wall next to the gate.
There the wizards built a ramp that can be walked down.
Ivan raised his head and glanced at Ramses II on the pillar again, trying to engrave this young pharaoh in his mind.
Then, he followed Lavie to the gap in the wall.
"In addition to the statues of the gods, there are many statues of Ramses II in the Sun Ruins." Lavier whispered as he walked, "Remember, you must speak softly in front of the statue of Ramses II. Also, don't say disrespectful words."
"Why? Are you still afraid that he won't hear you?"
Ivan noticed the expression on Laviere's face, and a somewhat absurd idea came to his mind.
An ancient sorcerer more than three thousand years ago, no matter how powerful he was, even if he was a spellcaster comparable to the gods, now there is nothing left, only commemorative statues, but La Veyer seemed afraid of being heard.
"I'm just afraid of being heard by him!" Lavier said solemnly, "Ramesses II may not be dead, have you forgotten that he is considered the owner of the "Sun Golden Sutra", in this book Records the secret of eternal life..."
"But the tomb of Ramses II is in the Valley of the Kings. Even the mummy has been found. How could he be alive?!" Aiwen said, "The "Sun Golden Sutra" records eternal life, but it is just a legend."
"Everyone says that, anyway, it's never wrong to be careful." Lavier shook his head disapprovingly.
Aiwen discovered that most wizards are superstitious, and believers have some strange customs that have been passed down somehow.
It's as if Neville and Ron still believe that amethyst will bring good luck, ominousness really exists, and water salamander tail can exorcise evil spirits. They also vowed to Ivan that this is common sense in the magic world...
He couldn't correct Lavier's understanding, and he didn't intend to say anything disrespectful in front of the statue of Ramses II. Aiwen and Lavier walked into the Dome of God through the narrow gap. In the next second, He found himself in a hall of unimaginable size.
Tens of thousands of torches hung on the walls on both sides, barely illuminating the entire hall.
Aiwen felt that his eyes were not enough, and there were statues of gods on both sides of the hall. Although he had known from Lavier that there were many ancient Egyptian gods here, the number he saw was still far beyond his imagination. The number exceeds two hundred.
Each of them was as tall as the statue of Ramses II seen outside, between four and five hundred feet.
The movements and expressions of the gods are different, and they are either animals or animals with human heads.
At the front of the Dome of God, there is still the statue of Ramses II.
He is bigger than other god statues, sitting upright, with a solemn and solemn expression, holding the wand with his right hand across his chest, his left hand holding the handle of the throne, and the clothes he wears are engraved with hieroglyphs and spell runes .
On the ground, patterns and runes made of brown jade are scattered throughout the hall.
You can see that there are lights flashing on it from time to time...
