Chapter 209 - Only blood can...
“My daughter is so amazing( Find the latest chapter!
At the end of the mural, the Twin Emperors designed a unique ritual to help the ethnic group bear the curse.
Oriana speculated that in the process of sealing Lucachia, he should have obtained some spoils, such as knowledge, books, sacred objects, mystery, etc. This set of rituals should be designed by combining these.
Later, in order to hold the ritual, he came up with a series of actions that seem to be extraordinarily absurd to outsiders.
First, I didn’t know what method was used to forcibly raise the plain forest area where the elves originated, and turn it into the current elven garden.
With his strength at the time, it should be impossible to do such a thing, most of which borrowed the spoils obtained from Lucacia.
This move aroused strong opposition from the elves, but was forcibly suppressed by the twin emperors with blood and brutal means, forcing countless residents to leave their homes and be displaced.
Then, he began a series of violent expropriation, forced a large number of civilians and craftsmen, and began to build this large-scale temple.
For the elven empire that had been declining at that time, it was tantamount to worsening the situation.
The entire process of rituals took nearly 100 years, and almost squandered the few remaining assets of the Elven Empire.
During this period, several rebellions broke out in the country, and the Twin Emperors were also assassinated in dozens of times.
Countless bards compiled his atrocities into poems and sang them everywhere. From children to the elderly, they all believed that he was a lunatic, mentally ill, and a tyrant who would bring the country to extinction.
But these were all suppressed by his tyrannical force.
“They hate us, even if we want to save them…”
“This is also the suffering we should bear.”
“They will finally abandon us…”
“This is also our responsibility.”
In the last mural, the Twin Emperors walked into the temple alone, closing the door tightly, leaving only a trace of his back.
At this point, the story came to an abrupt end, and no one knew what happened afterwards.
But they should have succeeded.
Because the elves still exist.
Even if they have fallen to the point where they cannot gain a foothold on the mainland and have been driven to overseas islands, they are still alive.
At the same time, the Yayalaka people, almost no one knew about them…
The twin emperors who saved the race are missing, and few people know his sacrifices and contributions. His history and records are strictly controlled. His last impression among the elves has been fixed in the “crazy tyrant”. One image.
To this day, young elves like Eveya still hold a lot of prejudice against him and are afraid of him.
He saved the race, but was abandoned by the race.
“It’s really not easy for a civilization to survive…”
Rohr sighed in a low voice.
“I blamed him, it turns out that he is such a great emperor…”
Eveya also sighed, knelt in front of the last pair of backs, clasped her fingers, and whispered in an elf language.
Probably something like a memorial ceremony, right?
As for Oriana, after sorting out the historical knowledge in her mind, she helped to supplement the following plot:
“According to some of our previous discoveries, the elves really started to decline from the time when the twin emperors were reigning. At first we thought it was caused by the improper governance of the emperor. Now it seems that there is actually another hidden story.”
“Although the elves after this have weakened, they are not without opportunities, at least in the process of subsequent battles with humans for the continent, they have shown extremely strong strength.”
“This shows that the curse was really taken by the Twin Emperors. After a thousand years of recuperation, the elves became stronger again, and there are signs of revival.”
“It’s a pity that they still maintained their arrogance as always. They made serious mistakes in their judgment of the situation, and the transcendental system was not perfect and too outdated. They underestimated the strength of human beings. This led to the final settlement on the desert island.”
Roll and Keli listened attentively as they were both fresh and young, nodding their heads non-stop.
Oriana did not forget to exhort at the end:
“Keli, after going back, we must carefully organize the story of the twin emperors. This kind of hero who has made great sacrifices for the ethnic group, even if it is a former enemy, is worthy of our praise.”
Keli held her drawing book tightly with both hands and nodded vigorously.
“Well, let’s go to the last floor and have a look. There should be more stories recorded there, right?”
Roll said again.
So everyone continued to move up and came to the highest level of the temple, intending to witness the final end of the Twin Emperors.
But the stairway was blocked by a huge stone gate.
The door was carved with a pattern of a ferocious monster with wings on its back, which was very similar to the pattern on the gate of the temple restored by Eveya.
This shows that Eveya’s restoration is still in place.
“So what the **** is this? Two key doors are carved with it.”
Rohr couldn’t help asking.
“Maybe this is what the deity Lukachia they believe in looked like?”
Kelly speculated boldly.
To be honest, this speculation is not very reliable. The huge Lucacian pattern in the underground ruins of the Plenty Valley is actually quite different from the one on the door, except that they have wings and are very hideous.
However, the historical record after artistic processing is like this. The image of the same character at the same time period often shows various differences due to the understanding of the recorder. This is also a very common phenomenon.
The two images were originally sculpted by two civilizations, and the differences are quite normal.
So Oriana did not refute, she touched Keli’s helmet, and said as her mother praised her daughter:
“That’s right, I also have this kind of speculation. What we do in historical research is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify!”
“Keli also has this kind of thinking, it seems that this event has made a lot of progress!”
Rohr couldn’t help but smiled. He benefited a lot from this trip. It solved the historical mystery and witnessed the growth of his daughter. He was very happy.
However, in the end, the door didn’t look good to open. Whether it was pushed or pulled or separated left and right, the door didn’t move at all, as if it had been completely sealed.
“So…only…”
As he spoke, he took out his sword and planned to open the door in a simple and rude manner.
As a result, Oriana and Keli grabbed his arms one by one, and even Eveya grabbed his waist from behind.
“That does not work!”
“Don’t dad!”
“Please don’t destroy the relics of great ancestors!”
emmmmm
Rohr had to withdraw his saber in embarrassment, and then took off the women wrapped around him one by one.
Even if it’s the daughter, how come the other two adult women don’t consciously let go? Are you afraid of being taken advantage of by me?
“There is a way to open this door, and there is a text engraved next to it.”
Fearing that Rohr would be rough again, Eveya quickly picked up the magic light stick and illuminated the walls on the left and right of Shimen.
The top of the door is engraved with large characters written in Elvish: “Tomb of the Forsaken”
It seems that the Twin Emperors have already known his end and fate, and have given himself the title of ‘abandoned’.
Then, on the surrounding walls, some warning warnings were engraved:
“Don’t disturb your majesty’s rest!”
“Don’t approach, don’t ask, don’t explore!”
“Go back! Go back! Get away from here! Forget about it all!”
It sounds scary, as if there are some terrifying monsters inside.
But the most powerful monster has been imprisoned for a thousand years without eating or drinking, and it is not much better.
At least Oriana had carefully probed with her senses, and there was nothing in it.
And even if it is possible, you have to go in. Roer and others climbed here to eliminate all hidden dangers and ensure the smooth progress of archaeological activities.
If you don’t go in and take a look, suddenly a Gemini emperor rushes out, which is really scary.
“But how do you open the door? Don’t you have nothing to do?”
Rohr watched the three girls touching and pushing in front of the door, the door remained motionless, a little anxious.
“Just let me come?”
With that said, he took out his saber again.
As a result, the three girls turned their heads together and glared at him.
Rohr had to put the sword back in embarrassment.
“Wait, there seems to be something here!”
After Oriana carefully inspected the door with her perception, she found that the monster’s pattern was hidden in mystery.
“The lines that make up the wings are a little weird, like they are made up of some words and symbols… I will write them down first, and you will help translate them.”
With that, she grabbed the drawing book in Keli’s arms, wrote and wrote on it for a while, and told Eveya to stand by at any time and wait for the translation.
It is like a tyrant in the family.
Keli and Eveya still dare not say anything…
After a while, Oriana copied all the secret words hidden on the wings, and handed the painting book to Eveya.
“Uh… It says that it’s very dangerous inside, but if you are a descendant who is really curious, you can use the method of the Yayalaka to open this door…”
“However, the things in it are history that should be forgotten. Only by paying the price of blood can we explore the truth in the mist.”
Eveya translated, and couldn’t help but tilt his head, not understanding the riddle.
Oriana was also confused.
“What is the way of the Yayalaka? Where can I find the living Yayalaka now?”
The small face under Keli’s visor also showed a look of embarrassment.
Although I dug a relic of the Yayalaka in the fertile valley before, and got some small gains, as the strawberry ice cream came in, the situation was chaotic and nothing was brought out…
Huh? Wait, there seems to be something brought out!
She hurriedly lowered her head and turned over her bear bag, and finally found a rusty and dilapidated dagger, or sacrificial knife, in it.
This is what she grabbed when she confronted the barbarians in the ruins. At that time, she pulled out the sacrificial knife and the strawberry ice cream suddenly appeared.
She packed this thing into Bear’s shoulder bag, and then forgot it all for a while because of the chaos of the situation.
And Professor Kant, who presided over the archeology, was disturbed by the subsequent series of events, and could not remember this little detail at all.
The main reason is that this sacrificial knife itself does not have any power. It is not an ancient mystery that people care about, but a cultural relic of pure academic value.
As a result, this precious and important cultural relic was in Keli’s bear bag, mixed with various passbook pocketbooks, clothes, skirts, socks, snacks and sweets, and so on. It has not been remembered until now.
But Keli took it out, and when she approached the door, the sacrificial knife that was almost the same as scrap metal actually lit up slightly.
And the stone gate that had been indifferent before, also began to tremble and sway slightly.
However, it still did not open.
“This thing is a cultural relic left by the Yayalaka people?”
Oriana’s eyes widened, she didn’t ask why her daughter had this kind of thing for the time being, but she continued:
“But this is not enough. Although it has a mysterious resonance with the door, it is not enough to make the door open.”
“What else are we missing…”
“That’s right! It’s blood! The door says, ‘Only the price of blood can we explore the truth in the mist’!”
After all, she asked for a sacrificial knife from Keli and planned to cut her finger.
But she was wearing a deformed armor, and she was obviously inseparable just by this shattered thing.
The deformed armor was taken off as a whole, there was no way to remove a part of it separately, and I didn’t know what was behind the door, so I took off the armor hastily, and it was too late to put it on after a while.
At the same time, the three of Rol, Keli, and Oriana present were all fully armed and wearing transforming armors.
Only Eveya…
“Humph~www.mtlnovel.com~ I can only trouble you to sacrifice a little…”
Oriana picked up the sacrificial knife and slowly approached Eveya.
“Don’t worry, I will be very gentle when I start!”
“No! Why is it me!”
Eveya quickly hid behind Roer, shivering.
When Oriana saw her like this, her heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
Originally, I only planned to cut her finger lightly, and then immediately use the secret technique to help her to sterilize and stop the bleeding.
As a result, now, I kind of want to hit her wrist with a knife, and then leave it alone.
It must be scary to rust into such a knife and create a wound, right?
As a result, Rohr stopped Oriana’s evil thoughts in time.
“Forget it, let me do it.”
With that said, he took the sacrificial knife from Oriana.
Eveya breathed a sigh of relief.
Your Excellency Rohr is really a good and reliable person, and he doesn’t forget to protect me at this time, and he intends to open the door with his own blood.
What a good man worth entrusting and relying on!
Oriana also thought that Rohr was going to give herself a knife, a little hesitated and distressed, she said quickly:
“Be careful, just make a shallow cut on your finger, and I will help disinfect it!”
Roll nodded.
Then he turned around and grabbed Eveya’s hand, and quickly swiped her thumb in a gesture of lightning speed.
———–
Well, I wish you all a happy Christmas Eve.
I’m just this kind of foreign festival, but I still wish everyone happy.
As for those who go out for the festival tonight, there will be no blessings.
The list is still too short, so we can get it tomorrow.
There will be a different sense of ritual when pulling the list on Christmas Day.
As if calling the saints.
