Rebirth of the Viking King

All living things in the world will emit psychic energy fluctuations as long as they survive. ReadМ

This became known as "thermal radiation" in later generations.

In the dim temple, the direction Loki was heading was the spiritual ripples of this thin gossamer. He was only promoted to Sequence 8 in the "Red God Path" from the Scarlet Creator.

In the illusion of blood mist, King Rafasal crushed an ancient monster, and the body "custom-made" for him still gave him the extremely powerful power of divine choice.

Even though the blood of the "Crimson Apostle" has been compressed to a very thin concentration by the water of God, he can still cooperate with the body of the ancestors to accurately capture the scattered spiritual energy in the air.

Contrary to his expectation, the breath of a living person actually emanated from the dark ceiling.

All religious buildings in the Middle Ages deliberately built extremely tall shelves to create a sense of mystery. Observed from the peaks outside the basin, the four gods sitting side by side in the Temple of Anubis are about 70 to 80 meters high.

Therefore, in this jump, Loki used all his strength.

After plunging into the deep darkness of the ceiling, he could see a long series of fire pots and the marble floor under his feet quickly getting smaller, but there were no beams or columns above the ceiling for a foothold.

When the rising potential energy became weaker and weaker, and he was about to return to the ground, a huge suction force came from above his head! Then, he involuntarily turned his body upside down and crashed onto a hard, dark stone slab.

In the mid-air of this ancient temple, there is a hidden space that can achieve "gravity reversal"!

After entering this deep darkness, the gravity under his feet would suddenly shift to the top of his head, and then he would be thrown into another space.

A mortal who enters the temple by mistake will never find the correct entrance, because the portal leading to the correct path is embedded in the dark and profound ceiling.

Loki stood up slowly, feeling only darkness in his eyes.

From time to time, the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the hard floor could be heard in his ears, making him feel as if he was already outside.

(No, I should still be inside the temple, but the interior of the temple is its own space, and it is impossible to judge the internal area by relying on the external size.)

Looking around, he found that what was shining above his head were not stars, but point-like light sources made of luminous gems.

The emitted spiritual consciousness touches the left and right walls, and you can feel that this is a stone room larger than a temple. After stretching out his palm, the "water drops" dripping from the top of his head to his palm were extremely heavy.

When he raised his hand and took a look, he found that they were round and smooth pieces of mercury.

What falls in the stone chamber is a mercury rain composed of mercury.

As for his side, there were exquisite coffins arranged one after another neatly.

The scene in front of me seemed extremely strange, but also seemed to be full of strange harmony.

The coffins used by the ancient Egyptians to seal corpses were completely different from the "long wooden boxes" used by the Easterners.

A master sculptor with a superb memory will carve the marble coffin into a contour close to the human body according to the face of the pharaoh during his lifetime.

In particular, the head of the sarcophagus will record all the important characteristics of the pharaoh.

In this way, you can identify which emperor's coffin it is by simply identifying the carvings and paintings on the surface of the sarcophagus without opening the coffin.

In his last life, Loki didn't know why ancient Egyptian craftsmen went to such trouble to make such a thing.

After entering this stone chamber, he finally understood.

During the long dynasty that lasted for nearly 5,000 years, there were too many Egyptian pharaohs who ruled this desert. The bodies of all the deceased pharaohs are placed here. It would be a lot of work to open the coffins one by one.

Squatting down and observing carefully, Loki discovered that the mercury dripping from the ceiling would flow into the sarcophagus through the natural grooves on the top of the sarcophagus.

He casually opened the lid of a coffin next to him, and a living human being appeared in front of him inside the sarcophagus.

Loki narrowed his eyes and slowly squatted down.

He found a young man in his twenties sleeping in the coffin. He has long chestnut hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge.

(wrong!)

(Why is there a young man with the characteristics of an Aegean resident inside an Egyptian-style coffin?!)

The appearance of Egyptians is quite distinctive among human civilizations. They have black hair, black eyes, thick ears and plump lips, and their skin is light golden.

But at this time, the man in the coffin was a young man with obvious Sicilian style.

Their most distinctive feature is the thin beard near their chin that turns almost their entire cheeks into an iron-green color.

There are also obvious regional characteristics in clothing.

A pure white and dark red linen robe intertwined, connected by a gold buckle about the size of a fist. This appearance looks very similar to the Roman nobles commonly seen in film and television works.

Then a new question comes.

Why is the body of a Roman nobleman lying in the Temple of Anubis deep in the Black Desert?

He opened a sarcophagus again, and this time a Roman woman appeared.

Her skin was so fragile that no signs of decay could be seen. The only difference from ordinary people was that her complexion was as green as steel. If you look closely, you can see mercury falling from the sky and collecting in the mouth of this corpse.

Beneath the soft skin, mercury surges as quickly as human blood.

Touching her chest, you can still feel that there seems to be a "heart" beating in the chest, but what the heart shoots out is the mercury inhaled through the mouth and nose!

Cold mercury filled her blood vessels, keeping her body permanently cold.

If humans want to avoid death, they must undergo metabolism. In this, blood circulation plays a vital role. The way the Styx priests preserved the corpses was to use "mercury" falling from the sky instead of blood to keep the human body running like a machine.

(It seems that what falls from the sky is not simple mercury, but a medium that can carry spiritual energy. With the help of body circulation, spiritual energy can be forcibly poured into the corpse to maintain the body's incorruptibility.)

Loki closed the coffin lid gently and continued walking forward. There are thousands of stone coffins densely placed in the stone chamber.

Opening a restaurant casually, most of them are Romans, and of course there are a few foreign faces.

Reminiscent of the burning animal charcoal in the inner hall, the gorgeous sculptures with obvious Roman style and a huge conspiracy slowly revealed their true identity in front of him.

(Maybe this isn’t the “edge of human society” at all!)

(The so-called "living in seclusion in the desert" is just a cover-up. The Styx priests have already mastered a method that allows them to travel to and from civilized society at any time!)

If you think about it carefully, this is actually the correct logic for ordinary people to deal with things.

All the countries around the Mediterranean were connected by merchants. When someone masters a unique skill, anyone will try to use the skills at hand to gain a higher status and more capital for themselves.

Call on more social resources.

After all, people are greedy. This is a nature that is engraved in the bone marrow and cannot be erased!

Loki could feel his heart beating hard, and a huge conspiracy was unfolding in front of him.

The neatly arranged coffins in the stone chamber form a huge and mysterious maze.

He could feel a huge spiritual energy not far away from him that was as hot as the clearing sun.

The dim light could not reflect the distance in front of him. He held the ax in both hands and moved forward step by step. In the darkness, he finally saw the source of the spiritual energy.

What appeared in front of him was a huge monster with the mouth of a lion god and a crocodile.

(Unsurprisingly, it should be the monster guarding the Pharaoh's body in the stone chamber)

Loki had no interest at all in knowing what this thing was. He calmly raised his axe. He was just about to hit the weird head, but he suddenly stopped his hands.

Then a shocking roar erupted in the stone chamber.
