Lord of the Oasis

After all, Kant has learned a lot.

In the Academy of Lion Castle, after studying systematic subjects, he would choose to read some other books.

Such as historical biographies, regional travel notes and other readings.

These are Kant's favorites.

As a traveler, he must first understand the history and civilization of this world, so that he can have a general understanding in his heart, and then make corresponding means to quickly improve his strength and reputation.

Of course, even if he has read a lot of books, doubts still exist at present.

This is due to information asymmetry.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the historical materials of the Age of the Gods were so scarce that they could only rely on imagination.

There is no way.

Even on the earth, for tens of thousands of years, only fragmented myths and legends can be passed down. Even if relics and a few fragmentary antiques are discovered, it is only a guesswork to draw a few conclusions.

Not to mention the feudal era that was still in the cold weapon period.

Without systematic archaeology, it is impossible to connect the results obtained by archaeology, and it is also impossible to excavate the history hidden in time. This is undoubtedly a tragedy in archaeology and history.

is something any scholar laments.

Just like Kant's teacher, the Hank Scholar, was so.

He has spent decades, can be called a lifetime, just to find the lost city.

And this is just one or two sentences in historical materials and myths, but it actually exists, but the truth is hidden in the dust of history, and there is no remaining history to be found.

Kant can now prove it to be true.

Because the cave dungeon he is in now may have a great connection with the Lost City.

But these are secondary.

The most important thing for Kant at the moment is to deal with subsequent things.

This majestic underground city built in a cave is already under his control.

Explore everything in the city,

Look for anything of value, loot treasures that may have been left over from ancient times, and if Kant wishes, he can also permanently choose to occupy the dungeon.

After all, according to Kant's observations, there is still life here.

Fresh water has uninterrupted flowing underground rivers.

Living materials can be transported through rivers and dam roads along the river.

The most important thing is the perfect houses and buildings in the city. According to Kant's current estimates, in terms of the scale of the underground city, even a population of 5,000+ will not have any problems.

It was indeed a small town in the feudal era.

You know, at the beginning of the Middle Ages, the population of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, was only 20,000+.

But the downside here is equally obvious.

Kant looked up and looked at the rock formation above his head, where a lot of shimmering moss and fluorescent mushrooms grew.

The light of Yingying is as gentle as a veil, releasing soft light, so that the entire cave is bathed in the light as soft as moonlight.

It's like a moonlit world.

But the shortcoming is here, which makes Kant hesitate.

Without sunlight, it means that it cannot be planted, and even aquaculture cannot be produced. Apart from relying on rivers to develop fisheries or transportation, there is no future at all. It can be said that Kant does not have the foundation to develop this cave underground city, even permanent occupation. If you can't do it, you can only use it as a refuge in the event of a crisis.

But even if it is used as a shelter, the village of "Aaron" on the outskirts of the Sangwaya Mountains can also do it. After all, the castle of "Drehem" in Kant is extremely stable.

What's more, "Aaron" can be upgraded from village head to town right away.

If there is an enemy, you can break through the "Drehem" castle, and then take the "Aaron" town.

So what if you escape into this cave?

It is not that they will be hunted down, continue to use the strength that Kant cannot resist, and easily break through the defensive offensive of this dungeon. Even if it is impossible to attack the dungeon without a large amount of material reserves, the siege can also besiege Kant and the others inside. To death, there is no capital to resist at all!

With a slight sigh, Kant still gave up the idea of ​​occupying this place. After all, it really does not have the ability to develop this dungeon that has no output and no future development.

"Lord Lord, there is no abnormality around."

The Ravenston Rangers who had gone out to inspect the surrounding streets and houses had returned.

His face looked relatively relaxed, and he reported to Kangdehui: "The houses are all empty. It seems that this underground city should have been abandoned by the former residents long ago."

"Well, I see." Kant nodded.

In a dungeon sealed with demons, it was only natural to evacuate the residents.

Kant had already thought of this.

The captain of the ranger looked at the Mayan-looking pyramid temple on the mountain, frowned and guessed: "Maybe we can find something valuable there, I don't know why, in our minds, we are all a little nervous about the temple over there. Move, this weird feeling reminds us of the Empire's Snake Worship Cult."

"Do you feel weird too?"

The mages who came over spoke and nodded to Kant: "In that temple, positive energy and negative energy are very strong, and they are competing with each other. Maybe we should go and see."

"Is it dangerous?" Kant asked with a frown.

"No." The mages replied: "We did not perceive signs of life."

"That's good."

Kant beckoned, indicating that all the soldiers around him should be assembled.

Along with the Swadian knights, they dismounted and walked towards the end of the dungeon, the Mayan-shaped pyramid temple built against the mountain, lined up and walked quickly.

They were extremely vigilant, but they found nothing unusual.

The central avenue is 30 meters wide, and the houses on both sides can still vaguely see gorgeous carvings.

They are all the sacred patterns of the sun that Kant is familiar with.

However, if you look closely, you can see that those sun saint patterns have cracked.

And just in front of the door close to the temple of the pyramid, a huge pit has appeared in the ground, a huge stone coffin has been opened, and there are a large number of dark, black flesh-like flesh eggs around.

But at this time those flesh eggs had withered, and they were as terrifying as dead mummies.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The arrows roared, and the Ravenston Rangers raised their bows solemnly.

There was a sound of falling to the ground in the shadow of a house not far away.

"There is a situation."

The Ranger spoke with a calm tone: "But it's all settled."

The Rodok sergeants walked quickly towards the place where the voice was, entered the house with the door open, and pulled out a few little demons and long-horned demons with arrows in their eye sockets, Shen Shenghui reported: "I escaped in. The demons of the army are defeated!"

Kant glanced at it and said, "It's not really a threat."

Just a bunch of low-level demons.

Even if it reappears twice as large as before, it will be torn to shreds by his current level 5 units.

It can be said like this.

Level 5 arms have become the pinnacle of human conventional combat power.

If you want to rise again, you may have to consider the mysterious extraordinary power.

At that time, the upgraded arms can no longer be called 5th-level arms, and may be of a higher level, such as the 6th-level arms, 7th-level arms in other magic MODs, and even the top-level 8th-level ace arms and so on!

As long as it conforms to the rules of this world, the MOD of the system can appear in this world.

Defeat the remaining subordinate demons.

Kant led the team to continue toward the Mayan pyramid.

The building built with huge stone blocks has a human-shaped statue of nearly 5 meters at the top. It also holds a sun disc made of gold high, facing the tiny light at the top of the mountain, flashing a faint halo.

This is from the age of the gods and symbolizes the mighty power of the sun god.

The mages became solemn.

Standing behind Kant, clenched the staff in his hand, and reminded softly: "A powerful deity has come here, we can sense that the subtle divine power still remains in this temple, although it is inaudible, but As a place where the gods descend, certain rules have been permanently changed."

"Is there any danger like this?" Kant frowned, he didn't like the gods.

"Don't worry, Lord, there is no danger here."

The mages continued: "The gods have been gone for a long time, and the rules that have been changed are about to be erased by time."

Kant nodded: "That's good."

This time leading the team to the temple is not to check the safety issues.

If there is anything, such as strange objects, artifacts, gold, etc., he will not be polite, he can pack it all and take it away in minutes, even if the time is too late, when he encounters gems embedded in stones, gilded walls, he will Willing to snap it off with a dagger or scrape it off and take it away.

Thousands of years of no-man's land, occupied by abyss demons, and then the dungeon that he seized, has become his territory, and everything in it is his trophy.

Taking his spoils away, Kant has no psychological barriers.

Nor can there be.

In a world where strength is paramount, the glory of the gods has long since faded. Now whoever has the bigger fist is the truth.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Kant's fist is undoubtedly bigger.

Even the abyss demon fell in front of his troops.

"Safety!"

The Rhodok sergeants who were exploring the way ahead waved.

"Let's go." Kant turned his head to look at the houses on both sides that had been destroyed by the demons, and also said solemnly: "Everyone cheer up, when there is an abnormal situation, when there is no hostility or a fatal attack, it is not allowed. Attack without authorization." After a pause, Kant added in a deep voice: "Except for demons."

"Understood!" The Ravenston Rangers behind him nodded in response.

This sentence is actually for them.

The Sergeant Rhodok in the front and the Swadian knight in the back are all melee warriors.

Mainly defensive.

These top archers are the first to attack after spotting an enemy.

The accuracy of the arrow without missing a shot is lethal.

If you encounter an unknown and powerful enemy, it would be a real injustice to launch an attack first and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. At least Kant's troops cannot bear too many losses. After all, Kant, who pursues too many elite soldiers, prefers to destroy the ruins The enemy army, rather than the target of causing a powerful enemy to be destroyed and wiped out.

But as long as you are cautious, you can now threaten the enemy of more than 300 people like Kant. Unless you come back to the abyss demon as powerful as Amon Keke, it will simply be a food delivery.

Soon came to the bottom of the front of the pyramid.

In front of it is the stairs to the top along the way, about 80 meters, to the top of the pyramid.

He raised his head slightly.

Kant looked up at the dark portal at the top.

The main body of the temple is at the bottom of the stone statue. From bottom to top, you can just see the stone statue holding the sun disc in both hands and looking down, just like looking at Kant and the others.

The heart was beating slightly, and Kant always felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

But right now.

A dialog box pops up on the retina in front of you.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

[Temporary task: search for the temple]

[Task reward: double recruitment (constant)]

[Quest introduction: You came to the foot of the temple and found that mysterious extraordinary fluctuations faintly radiated in it. You think you might be able to find some treasures handed down from ancient times, and you decide to enter the temple to search. 】

Temporary tasks from the system.

Kant frowned slightly.

The current system is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, and there are some hints in it.

Since it is to search for the temple.

Then according to Kant's understanding of the system, there is definitely something in the temple!

After all, it is an indirect prompt given by the system.

Turning his head to wink at Sergeant Rhodok who was waiting on both sides, Kant raised his chin and said, "Go up, open the stone gate, and report the situation after confirming that there is no danger."

"Understood." The ten Rhodok sergeants nodded and walked up the stairs with their broad shields in hand.

Right at the top of the stairs.

The bottom of the two feet of the stone statue is the entrance to the temple blocked by the thick stone gate.

At this time, Kant looked up at the nearly 5-meter stone statue.

In the temple in the mountain ruins, the huge statue of 100 meters high that is directly carved on the mountain is exactly the same on the face. Except for the different movements, the ancient armor and clothes on the body are all the same.

Perhaps this is the gods of the lost city, the gods they believe in, the sun god!

His face was about 25 years younger.

The entire face is sculpted lifelike.

This technology is unmatched by modern humans. In Kant's impression, even the dwarves with the best craftsmanship can't match it. Perhaps in the direction of making art, only the mysterious and unfamiliar elves on the coast of Mannheim can be compared. But Kant also did not believe that the stone statues they could carve were so lifelike.

As if it were a real living creature, it could get rid of this rock shell anytime, anywhere.

"It doesn't feel good."

Kant frowned.

This condescending look made him feel a little awkward.

Especially the indifferent eyes swept across the stone statue, as if stared at by the former gods.

However, the soldiers next to him did not feel this way. They stood in line and carefully dispersed to guard the surrounding intersections, especially for the areas that were not explored when they came. They clenched their weapons and shields and watched vigilantly. Abnormal situations will attract their attention, as well as the gazes of the rangers who are also ready to shoot.

Kant's order is here, but for them, if they really encounter an irresistible enemy, it is equally important to launch the attack first and ensure the safety of the lord!

"Kakaka…"

Above the head, there was the awkward sound of stones rubbing against each other.

The heavy stone door was pushed open.

The Rhodok sergeants looked solemn, looked at the entrance of the black hole, looked at each other, took out the torches they were carrying, ignited them with fire traps such as fire folds, and held them up into the alley.

The torches burned very happily.

The choking black smoke emitted by burning grease quickly flooded the top floor of the roadway.

But the Roddocks didn't get too far.

But about 5 meters, I came to the wooden door at the end of the alley. It was carved with exquisite patterns, and there were precious gilt and precious stones on the door handle. Under the flickering fire, it looked extremely beautiful.

Reaching out to hold the door handle, Sergeant Roddock slowly opened the wooden door.

"Woooooo-"

A cold breeze rushed out from the crack of the door.

The torches seemed to be swaying violently by the cold breeze, and the fire in the alley was suppressed for a while, the temperature was invisibly lowered by several degrees, and the light was dimmed.

The gloomy wind blew outwards and swirled a few times beside the burly bodies of the sergeants.

Then, with a whimper that was formed by being squeezed by the wind in the narrow space, the temples of the 10 Rhodok sergeants swayed out of the helmets, rushed out of the corridor and turned into a breeze and disappeared.

Sergeant Rhodok at the forefront lowered his broad shield.

There was a bit of doubt in the eyebrows.

Looking at each other, they didn't notice anything unusual, but they were secretly heartbroken by this gloomy wind.

Having been exposed to fantasy-type force, they are no longer limited to Calradia's traditional force.

They didn't find it weird.

But at the bottom of the pyramid temple, the faces of the waiting mages changed slightly.

Looking up directly, a slight wind gushed out of the alleyway, making their faces change even more, frowning slightly, and reporting to Kang Dehui in a deep voice: "Something's wrong, my lord!"

"What's wrong?" Kant looked up, but couldn't see the wind that had dissipated.

"Very strong negative energy."

The headed mage raised his head, his eyes full of shock: "Even after thousands of years of weakening, we can feel the intensity of that negative energy. The storm formed by the negative energy will be swept away, and will be destroyed on the spot, turning into an ignorant fool!"

Kant frowned, looking at the solemn faces of the mages next to him, and the Ravenston rangers from Pandeworld who were also aware of the mysterious power, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?"

"Negative energy, rich negative energy."

The mage swallowed, stabilized his mind, and said: "Just now, a wind formed by a gathering of negative energy rushed out of the entrance of the temple, which caught us by surprise, but fortunately, after tens of thousands of years, it weakened. There's no lethality."

"Well." Kant nodded, as long as he made sure there was no danger.

But the mage frowned: "It's not right."

"What?" Kant asked.

"Yes, something is wrong."

The mage closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and repeated in his mouth, "It's really not right!"

"Yes, I sensed it too!" The other mages also nodded.

They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"What's the matter?" Condé was a little stern.

These mages clearly sensed something wrong. He had to know the details, so he couldn't help but said solemnly: "Tell me immediately, is there anything wrong in this temple?"

"Yes, it is."

The mage was a little hesitant to answer.

"Say." Kant said solemnly.

"It's like this, Lord Lord, in this wind composed of negative energy, we found a cold aura that only belongs to the dead, and in our perception, this is the most distinctive feature of the dead!"

The headed mage frowned and explained, "It's in this temple!"

"Yes, it's in the temple!" Other mages agreed.

"Undead." Kant's face was solemn.

Sergeant Rhodok and the Swadian knights behind him were equally solemn, including the Ravenston Ranger. Obviously, they knew something about the undead. After all, they are corpses that have come back from the dead. As long as there has been a war, some writers can always get through. These dismembered corpses paint a horrific picture.

But no matter how you describe it, these dead souls, these corpses that should have been sleeping forever, should never appear in the world. This is equivalent to the most basic rule. The boundary between life and death has been broken!

Kant knows more about the undead.

After all, in the film and television data of the previous life, the special race of the undead is not weaker than the devil at all.

What's more, in the World of Warwinds where mages live, there is a race of undead.

And it is also divided into vampires and bones to establish their own countries!

As one of the powerful human powers, the Ainfas Empire has of course had fierce conflicts with these evil creatures, and even the Tribunal owned by the country exists to solve those evil and filthy demons and undead!

The mages looked solemn.

Turning his head, he suggested to Kant: "Lord Lord, in the temple... may be a little pessimistic."

Kant narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me more."

"Maybe there will be undead creatures."

The mage spoke with a hesitant tone: "Undead creatures have no time limit, but their bones and flesh will become more and more rotten. Of course, if they are powerful undead, even time cannot stop them. In other words, the fire of the soul It is the source of their power, and as long as they are not destroyed, they are equal to eternal life."

"How is the situation in the temple?" Kant asked.

"You need to actually go and see it." The mages dared not brag about Haikou, and said cautiously: "But in our perception, there is still a faint undead breath, because the cold undead characteristics have been found in the negative energy."

And at this moment, at the main entrance of the temple.

Sergeant Rhodok pressed down the gilt doorknob and pushed open the fine wooden door.

With the long "squeak" sound, the bronze door shaft was slowly pushed, allowing the entire interior of the temple to appear in front of them, dark and deep.

The torch was raised, and a light that had not been seen for a long time appeared in the main hall of this temple.

It is a hall of nearly 2000 square meters.

But the Roddock sergeants widened their eyes, and the two people in the front even took two steps back subconsciously!

Skeletons, skeletons all over the place!

And in the center at the end of the main hall, an old man sitting on a golden chair with a scepter in front of the statue!

PS: Recommend a friend "Murder by Night", the plot is very good, the protagonist is slaughtering the emperor, and the fairy grass of Dead by Daylight, even if you haven't played it, you can read it as a killer. I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to criticize it. Among the recommended novels, this is my favorite. It is definitely a guaranteed book!
