Chapter 708: Land of Inheritance I

The large buildings in front of me are centered on a tall building.

The tall, pointed roof made Dean see this iconic building in the entire complex at first sight.

Moreover, such a tall and pointed roof did not start from the beginning, but suddenly protruded after passing through a flat and square roof.

It's like a mountain on the flat ground.

Dean fell from the sky and stood at the door of this tall building.

Two tall statues, fully thirty feet high, divided left and right, stood in front of the door.

The faces of these two statues are not clear, very vague, and even the whole body is abnormally rough, with a style different from the statues that Dean is familiar with!

Only the long swords and shields in their hands can be distinguished at first glance.

Temple of the Sky City!

After looking at the two iconic buildings, Dean has confirmed that he has arrived at the necessary destination.

Without hesitation, Dean passed between the two statues.

The temple does not have a gate.

When Dean passed between the two statues, he had truly stepped into the temple. The interior of the entire temple was as wide as the building.

A wooden chair, with an arc, is neatly arranged towards the core of the temple.

￡ There, a statue a hundred feet high loomed large.

And it is precisely because of the existence of this statue that the roof of the entire temple protrudes like that.

"Build the entire temple with the statue as the core?"

Dean murmured softly.

Then, he looked at the wooden chairs.

These, in a special arrangement, line the chairs throughout the temple hall. There are as many as a thousand in number. And this number is also the time when the number of god-born nobles in the entire sky city is the largest.

In fact. This number is already quite a long time ago.

Now, the nobles in the entire Sky City are far less than at that time, and it is already quite a good situation to be able to fill one-third of the seats.

These are what Long Lang told Dean.

At a glance, Dean saw the arrangement of chairs and some subtleties on the chairs, which confirmed Long Lang's words.

Even, it was much less than what Long Lang told.

At most two hundred people!

Every chair here represents a deity. When the descendant of the god dies, his descendants will naturally inherit it. If there is no heir, it will be vacant.

Therefore, even if these chairs are rearranged every time.

However, there is a fundamental difference between a chair that has been sat on for a long time and a chair that has been placed all the time.

Peeling paint, wear marks.

These are the details that must be paid attention to by Dean, who was once an assassin.

Then, Dean looked at the tall statue in front of him again.

Like the two statues guarding the gate outside the temple, rough and vague. It is the style of the statue in front of him, only the weapons and protective gear are very clear.

A long sword that reaches between the waist and belly of the statue. Standing there lifelike, the two hands of the statue are stacked on top.

Like an old knight.

On Godez, most of the knights would ask the painter to leave a portrait of themselves when they were old.

And among them, most of the actions are like this.

There is not only the idea of ​​not being able to wield a long sword, and the idea of ​​spending his old age in peace, but also the idea of ​​hoping that he will meet his future life in peace.

In short, it is a portrait that makes people feel that the hero is twilight, but also has a little bit of expectation.

Almost every family of Jade has such a portrait.

Dean had seen quite a few, too.

However, Dean has never felt that kind of sharpness and restraint like now.

That's right, it's sharp and restrained!

It's not that I gave up swinging the sword and looked forward to a new life.

It's just plump and restrained, for the next time to show off your sharpness.

"The expectation of the Sky City family? Or?"

Dean looked at the statue again in a slightly pensive manner.

According to Long Lang, this statue is their ancestor.

Of course, it is definitely not carved according to the person himself. The roughness and vagueness have already explained everything.

And the feeling expressed on the statue, it illustrates the hope of the sculptor.

That is the hope of the people in Sky City.

Not the current generations, but the original generation!

This statue existed here from the beginning, and the temple was built later!

It seems to be nothing, but in connection with some introductions by Long Lang and the avoidance attitude of Sky City, Dean keenly noticed a difference.

Seems like...something happened in between!

Otherwise, the attitude of avoiding the world in Sky City is too strange!

It is completely different from what is contained on the statue.

After thinking for a while, Dean, who didn't come to any conclusion, shook his head and walked quickly behind the statue - he didn't forget his original purpose.

Behind the statue is a long corridor.

If the previous place was a place where the nobles of the Sky City could step in, then only a few people such as the elders and the lord of the Sky City could set foot here.

Because, after passing through this corridor, it is the inheritance place of the entire Sky City!

However, Dean didn't move immediately.

His sight was attracted by the layer upon layer of tombstones on the side of the corridor.

At a glance, there are almost endless tombstones, telling how many descendants of gods are buried here.

"At least more than one hundred thousand!"

After Dean made a simple estimate, he couldn't help being taken aback by the number he came up with.

First of all, he knew that the descendants of the gods who could be buried here were all nobles from the Sky City.

Secondly, because of their blood, the descendants of gods were born with extraordinary power and a much longer lifespan than ordinary people.

Being able to accumulate so many tombstones, Dean couldn't help feeling a little suspicious of the history of Long Lang's so-called Sky City.

because. According to Long Lang said. The history of the entire Sky City is only about 1,200 years.

One thousand two hundred years to accumulate one hundred thousand descendants of the dead?

Calculated based on the lifespan of a normal god descendant from 150 to 200 years old. It's really incredible, unless there are a lot of them, but Long Lang personally denied it.

Moreover, Liu Huo also said before that the city in the sky has only appeared for a thousand years.

The words of the two cannot be lies.

So what's going on?

With such doubts, Dean moved forward again.

Through the long corridor, Dean entered a circular room with a ceiling made entirely of crystal. Just light a few candles, and the whole room can be enveloped in light.

The elders of Sky City live here, but there is no bed here. Several soft couches appear here instead of beds, and in the center of the whole room, an incense burner appears there. smoke.

The familiar smell in it made Dean sure that it was a soothing fragrance.

Auxiliary items often used when meditating or reading. It can make people more calm and focus.

Dean to aid reading. To improve efficiency, such incense has also been burned.

Looking back, Dean saw a bookshelf taller than a person, on which nearly a hundred books were placed in an orderly manner.

Books are undoubtedly the best way to obtain information.

However, facing too messy books, Dean, who lacked time, could not allow it.

However, Dean has a fairly simple way of identifying——

Some important things will never be placed in the open.

This is the habit people are under protection!

It is also some kind of inferiority!

Dean began to quickly search around the soft couch.

In just a few minutes of work, Dean has gained a lot, a scroll and two books. The books are written in the common language on Godez.

What is recorded is the transaction with the Free Federation.

Dean was not surprised by this.

Behind the Freedom Federation is the shadow of the City of the Sky, which was preordained long ago.

Otherwise, even if the Freedom Federation hangs alone overseas, it will be absolutely difficult to escape the aggression of various countries.

Moreover, given the barrenness of Sky City, without the trade support of the Free Federation, not to mention building a city, I am afraid that even the most basic livelihood of the people cannot be guaranteed.

After briefly reading it and confirming that there were no more important discoveries, Dean opened the scroll.

This is a scroll written in a rather ancient language.

Fortunately, Dean, who has studied magic inscriptions, is not ignorant of such ancient languages.

Even if it is a bit jerky to read, you can read it.

And this scroll gave Dean a lot to gain.

Because, what is recorded above is about the 'blood curse'!

There are even some extended skills of the 'blood curse'!

Immediately, Dean began to read more seriously. He hoped to find a solution to the 'Blood Curse' on it, but in the end Dean was very disappointed.

Although almost everything about the 'Blood Curse' is recorded on it.

But there is no way to crack it!

Even, it has been mentioned more than once that there is no solution to the blood curse, and those who are in it will die.

And from those words, Dean felt a strong sense of pride.

A high-ranking look instantly appeared in Dean's mind.

And that annoyed Dean even more.

"It's impossible that there is no solution! It's just that I'm looking in the wrong direction!"

Dean shook his head and said to himself.

At the same time, his gaze turned to the very center of the room: the location of the incense burner.

This is an incense burner that is half the height of a person.

From the outside, there is nothing natural about it.

However, the road leading to the place of inheritance is under the incense burner.

Click!

Dean stepped forward, and according to Long Lang's description, he easily found the mechanism spring. With a crisp sound, the incense burner moved away soundlessly, revealing a downward staircase that was big enough for one person to pass through.

According to what Long Lang said, and combined with his own experience, after confirming that there was no problem, Dean stepped straight up the stairs and walked towards the place of inheritance that went deep underground.

At the same time, several figures suddenly appeared in the void, wearing standard robes, they quickly found the place where Dean first fought with Malcolm and others.

"There is a breath of Moco here!"

One of the men in robes raised his nose and said with certainty.

Then, he walked straight to an open space and waved his hand.

Suddenly, a large piece of land was turned up, revealing the body of the leader of the 'Seeker'.
