Chapter 811

Gwen couldn't help laughing.

Harrison realized that he had made a fool of himself again, but he didn't dare to get angry now, so he could only hand over the task to the 1.9-meter-tall guard A with a sword.

Lin still calmly crossed his arms and stared at guard A twisting and rotating the puzzle.

Well, it's a good thing that I'm smart and got a warning from the little mermaid, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

When guard A finally adjusted the puzzle, the blue and gold intertwined light lit up under the hollow relief, and the door that had been sealed for a long time slowly opened under the drive of the mechanism.

Everyone looked inside expectantly.

Originally, I thought it should be a treasure house, or some magnificent sacrificial hall.

The result was disappointing. There was actually a passage inside the door, and a staircase could be seen at the end.

But compared with the simple stone staircase before, this place looks much more exquisite. There are exquisite dragon patterns on both walls, and there are wall lamps that look quite gorgeous.

This lamp is different from the ones behind it. The previous one was a magic lamp driven by a mechanism, but this one is an ancient oil lamp, which is lit with a blue flame.

A closer look shows that there is still half-dried grease in the lamp.

There is a flint on the top, which should have been lit when they started the mechanism. There is a faint smell of incense in the room.

Gwen suddenly said: "Do you feel something strange? It should be a closed space here, but the air below is still very fresh. Even the magic card is not used."

Yiran said: "I just looked at it, and I didn't see any vents. It must be that the material in the wall is special and can filter gas."

Gwen continued: "Also, this oil lamp is very strange. It has been so many years, and the grease inside has not dried up. Is this really grease?"

Harrison snorted coldly and answered confidently: "I heard that there is a kind of lamp oil that uses mermaid oil. Do you know what mermaid oil is? It is to squeeze the oil out of the body of a mermaid. No matter how long it is left, it will not dry up, and it can burn for a long, long time."

Gwen immediately turned his head away with disgust.

"Cruel, disgusting."

Yi Ran, who was at the center of the topic, froze, her face turned pale, and she waved her hands with tears in her eyes.

"No, it's all fake, just a rumor..."

Lin touched his chin: "This story has been circulating for so many years, and it's so true..."

Noticing Yi Ran's frightened look, "Don't squeeze me," he changed the subject.

"In the final analysis, it is still made up by those crazy mermaid hunters to raise the value. Anyone who believes it is a fool."

Harrison was a little unconvinced: "Then why hasn't this oil dried up yet?"

Lin showed a look of looking at an idiot: "There is a deep-sea monster called the Gamos whale. There is a piece of fat on its abdomen, called long gelatin.

This kind of glue will not solidify and can burn for a long time. There is also a faint smell of ointment. People often mistake it for mermaid oil. This thing is basically collected by nobles and wealthy families."

Harrison's face froze: "What is this thing... I haven't heard of it."

Yi Ran took a long breath and nodded repeatedly: "Don't blame you, Harrison, your family is too poor, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Chapter 67 Orthodox Dragonborn in the Western Regions? Too weird

At the end of the passage is a staircase. Lin carefully checked the sides of the passage and the ceiling and floor, and did not find anything special.

The passage was not long, and soon reached the end of the stairs.

After walking down a short distance, the view became wider again, and exclamations rose and fell among the crowd.

"It's so big!"

Yiran exclaimed, leaning on the handrail of the stairs and looking down.

Xiye quickly grabbed her clothes, worried that the handrail had not been maintained for many years and would suddenly break.

She is becoming more and more careful now, but her carefulness is never directed at herself.

Lin stared at the giant statue in the center, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes.

The statue is indeed very large. It is estimated that it is at least more than 20 meters, and the widest part may be 30 meters.

The statue is a giant dragon with gold and blue intertwined, with more gold and less blue, very similar to the rock dragon, and the carving is also lifelike. At first glance, the dragon seems to be alive.

Lin has a strange feeling in his heart.

This dragon is actually very similar to the Oriental Dragon of Blue Star, from the totem at the beginning to the statue today, plus the bloodline of the Bijie Kingdom.

Emmm, there is a sense of dislocation of the descendants of the dragon in the Western Regions.

Oh, the name Bijie sounds like Ah San, which... feels even weirder.

In the center is a thick supporting pillar, which is also the largest of all the load-bearing pillars. The other load-bearing pillars are made of stone, but the exposed part of the middle pillar is actually made of metal.

The dragon is hovering on the pillar as a whole, and it is also carved around the metal pillar.

The statue is very large, but compared to the overall space, it only occupies one-fifth.

This place is too big, longer than a football field, and much wider.

The stairs they are now on are at the top floor, completely attached to the wall and all the way down. There are lights all around, making the statues shine.

But the lights are only 20 meters high, and there are no lights below, so it looks pitch black.

Judging from the statue, there are at least dozens of meters below.

I don’t know what is hidden at the bottom.

All around are hard rock walls, square and very flat, and there is even a suspended ceiling on the ceiling, and there are various carvings under the suspended ceiling.

If it is dug manually, it will definitely be a huge project.

However, considering the existence of rock dragons, other magical beasts, and earth magicians, it is not as difficult as imagined.

Rin threw a few fireballs down, lighting up the area below.

After seeing the environment clearly, everyone relaxed a little.

Because the distance is a bit far and the light is not bright enough, I can only see roughly.

But it can be judged that the place below is empty, except for an altar and a platform.

Only then did they discuss the unusually huge statue with confidence, especially the pupil in the center of the statue's eye, which seemed to be a large amber stone. They didn't know if it could be removed.

Then he started to say that he might be able to find the treasure house of Bijie Kingdom and everyone could make a lot of money.

Compared with Sacred Heart Grass, it is a treasure in the desert, which is more interesting.

In this way, the group of people went down the stairs.

Xiye frowned slightly, and even the little mermaid looked left and right suspiciously, and gently tugged at the corner of Rin's clothes.

"Linlin, do you feel weird? Your head feels uncomfortable."

Rin nodded solemnly.

He also has a clear feeling now, which is obviously a case of mental erosion.

“And I feel like it’s not just us here.”

"I do feel like I'm being spied on."

Xiye suddenly made a sound. She kept her hand on the hilt of the sword, her eyes were sharper than before, and she was looking around seriously.

In addition to their surprise, Gwen and Harrison also had unusual reactions.

The former was as suspicious as the little mermaid, while the latter touched her lower back from time to time and complained about the sudden pain.

Everything proved that it was not as safe down here as they imagined, and they had already fallen into the "trap".

Rin looked back at the three guards. The three guards were not very energetic and did not react. They just rubbed their arms.

Because the temperature down here is getting colder and colder.

No wonder there are no lights down there.

"Be careful, there should be traps or guards in such a place."

Rin warned aloud, and the others quickly picked up their spirits and held their breath.

When we reached the bottom, it was freezing. The temperature here was about 20 to 30 degrees below zero.

However, the temperature in the desert at night was already about ten degrees below zero, and they all wore thicker clothes and had the resistance of class members. Although their hands and feet felt cold, it was not to the extent that it was difficult to move.

Rinduo released several fireballs. Under the guidance of faint magic lines, the fireballs lingered among the crowd, bringing a lot of warmth.

The firelight illuminated the environment even brighter, and everyone was quickly attracted to a circle of pools surrounding the statue.

I thought they were stone platforms before, but now I looked again and saw that they were pools, and the pools were all covered in ice.

As the fireball approached, the ice began to steam.

The base of the statue is the largest pool, and the tip of the rock dragon's tail is completely submerged in the pool.

Rin looked at Harrison: "Any more tips?"

Harrison thought for a while: "There is only one last sentence left, the clouds are soaring and the rain is a holy thing sent from heaven."

Rin raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment and then ordered:

"Check around first."

After hearing this, everyone spread out and inspected the surrounding stone pillars, pools and stone walls.

Under the stone wall facing the dragon's head, there is a whole wall of murals.

Because this is not a relic from the old era, it is quite well preserved, with bright colors and clear narrative.

This is the official story of the founding of the ancient Bijie Kingdom.

There is not much difference from the history of the Biki Kingdom that Rin told before.

It's just that this place was built when the Vijie Kingdom still existed, so naturally it won't talk about the destruction of the country.

The characters in the corner of the mural caught Rin's attention.

Although the script of Bikie Kingdom is a small language, only numbers are universal.

Just like the popularity of Arabic numerals.

This string of numbers records the year when the mural was completed.

It was more than 1,200 years ago.

The Bijie Kingdom was destroyed about a thousand years ago.

Rin suddenly thought of something.

The Holy Empire controlled by the reincarnated people was overthrown by other royal families, and the Holy Empire fell into civil strife about a thousand years ago.

The false god Molek was exposed and killed a thousand years ago, slightly earlier in the morning.

Qi Yu's great-grandmother, the demon king who tried to let humans and demons coexist, also died tragically a thousand years ago.

Moreover, Qi Yu's great-grandmother was not seen at the Altar of Heroes.

But that's not the point. The point is...why did the time happen to be at that time?

Is it a coincidence, or is there something secret going on?

Rin suddenly became very interested in exploring a series of things that happened during that time.

But for now, we still have to solve the little puzzle in front of us first.

Chapter 68 I also summoned the dragon

They didn't find any mechanism or anything around.

This area is so large that even if there is any mechanism, it would be difficult to find it.

Xiye's eyes stayed on the rock dragon statue in the center for a long time.

"Did you find any problem?"

Rin asked as he came to her side.

The sword master girl's voice was deep: "It feels like the spying comes from the eyes of the statue, but I looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything unusual."

Rin followed her line of sight and looked into the eyes of the rock dragon statue.

The periphery of the eyes is just ordinary lapis lazuli, nothing noteworthy.
