Chapter 500

Chief Dejiko finished his prayer, stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry for keeping the lord waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter."

Ren shook his head, and found that Djiko's flame of faith had grown a little bit, very weak, and it would be difficult to detect it without careful observation with the eyes of the soul, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and the flame of faith that had been blazing a little bit resumed to a dim state.

He had seen much more of the fire of faith, but very little of it.

The fire of faith represents the degree of devotion to the gods. The more devout, the more intense it will be. Unless the faith is shaken, it will only increase and not decrease under normal circumstances, and the ups and downs are not violent.

Dejiko, as a follower of the sun god, is obviously the most devout believer, but the fire of faith is receding, and there is only one explanation.

That is to doubt the belief in the god of the scorching sun.

Ryan followed Djiko and found that among the tauren under the totem of the stone pillar, some of the flames of faith also fluctuated. This is by no means a normal phenomenon.

With doubts, Ren entered a tall building not far from the stone pillar totem. The log house was relatively simple, but the interior was very spacious. It looked like the meeting hall of the Sunstrider tribe, and it was also the most important place on Bright Cliff.

The Ultramarines remained outside the door, with only Sicarius and Borch following in.

"My lord, please sit down."

Dejiko was very enthusiastic and invited Ren to sit down at the long table in the middle of the hall.

The tables and chairs here are all built according to the size of the tauren. An adult tauren is at least 2.5 meters. For Ren, who is less than 19 meters tall, it is like breaking into the kingdom of giants. Everything in the room is like After zooming in twice, I sat on a solid wooden chair, and my feet couldn't reach the ground.

A female tauren brought up a drink. The huge wooden cup was like a wine barrel, filled with a white liquid, which smelled very fragrant, and reminded Ren of milk tea.

Unable to accept the hospitality, Ren picked it up and took two sips. It was sweet and mellow, and tasted quite good, but the portion was too much. Another glass would be enough to take a bath.

He slandered, looked at Dejiko who was sitting at the top, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Habu should have told you what I want, right?"

"Yes." Djiko nodded, "The demon souls of scarabs are of no use to us sunwalkers, and we rarely hunt them. The two demon souls obtained by Habu were just an accidental transaction. If the lord wants to To have more, one must enter Atas."

"Atas?" Ren was a little dazed.

The translator next to him, Habu, explained: "My lord, Atas is the plane of the setting sun."

Seeing the dazed expression on Ren's face, Dejiko's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Atas is the seat of my lord Anser's kingdom of God. Although it is broken now, outsiders cannot be allowed to enter casually."

He paused for a while, and continued after Habu finished translating: "Besides, the area of ​​Artas is about the same as the empire, and the interior is very dangerous. If there is no experienced guide, it is impossible to find the scarab within three or four years. I heard Habu said, the lord needs a lot of scarabs?"

"Yes, the more the better." Ren admitted generously.

The scale of the Spearwing Knights has been expanding. This is a long-term plan for the future. Even if only one-twentieth of the Spearwing Knights can be promoted to the middle rank in the future, the demand for scarab demon souls is not a small number, at least hundreds of them , possibly thousands at most!

Dejiko smiled a little, "Atas has a huge number of scarabs, which can definitely meet the needs of the lord. I can lead people to guide the way myself, but the lord must promise to do one thing for me."

Ren nodded indifferently, which was expected.

"Speak, Chief."

Dejko glanced at Habu, and Sicarius and Borch standing behind Rennes, obviously not wanting them to hear the inside story.

"You guys go out first." Ren turned around and said, "Habu, you too, I just need to talk to His Excellency the Chief in Imperial."

Habu, who was full of curiosity in his heart, left with a depressed expression on his face.

After the three of them went out, Dejiko continued to speak, and said in the not-so-fluent Imperial language: "How much does your lord know about the situation of our lord Anser?"

"Very few, I only heard of His honorable name before." Ren replied truthfully: "This is the first time I know the existence of the Sunstrider tribe."

"This is thanks to the Mother Goddess for protecting us. Without the benevolent Mother Goddess, the Sunstrider tribe would have been wiped out by Geon and his followers long ago." Dejiko's eyes flashed hatred, anger and gratitude, which was very complicated , he sighed a long time, "My lord Anser was once the closest ally of the Mother Goddess, with powerful divine power, but was usurped by Ge Weng. The tauren kept praying, hoping to be resurrected one day, but..."

Having said that, the tauren chief's expression was tangled.

Ren's soul eye also saw that the other party's mood fluctuated violently, as if facing a difficult decision. The information revealed in the words also confirmed his guess. Behind Anser's fall was indeed the sun god Ge Weng under the black hands.

He waited for a while, but Dejko didn't speak, so he asked:

"But what?"

Dejiko lowered his voice: "Since more than 30 years ago, my tribe and I heard the answer when we prayed."

Ryan was taken aback, answering the prayer meant the god was coming back to life!

But Djiko didn't look happy at all, his face was shrouded in haze, and he said in a low voice: "That response is very strange, unable to communicate, and it doesn't seem like language. I can hear that voice is full of evil and madness. Kind of like, like..."

His face was full of pain, and he couldn't continue.

Ren's heart trembled slightly, and he could understand Dejiko's situation. He had prayed for tens of thousands of years for generations, and finally saw the dawn of the resurrection of the God of Scorching Sun, but something went wrong. How could he not feel sad?

No wonder the faith of the tauren was shaken.

After waiting for a while, Dejiko regained his composure, and continued: "I discussed it with the clansmen, and that voice is definitely not my lord Anser, but rather a beast without wisdom!"

"What does Your Excellency the Chief want me to do?" Ren asked softly.

Dejiko looked at the entrance of the hall vigilantly, confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, and said in a low voice: "When my lord fell, he left behind and built a secret mausoleum in Atas, which is specially used for resurrection. God’s cover-up, even Geon didn’t discover it, and only a few of the most devout believers at that time knew the location, and the chief of the Sunstrider tribe was one of them.”

"Over the years, I have visited the mausoleum of our lord many times to check on his situation, but the mausoleum was blocked by a huge ancient rune circle."

"That was the rune circle arranged by the sun priest under my lord during the Second Era. The Sunstrider tribe broke off the inheritance of the sun priest thousands of years ago. We couldn't open the door of the mausoleum. Inaccessible."

"I asked an archdruid in the family to go there, but I couldn't crack it."

Ren understood it when he heard this.

"Your Excellency the Chief wants me to help open the mausoleum?"

"Yes, and no." Dejko nodded and shook his head again, "We want to open the mausoleum, but we hope that the teacher of the lord, that is, the holy soul wizard, can do it." He was afraid that Ren would misunderstand , quickly explained: "It's not that I can't trust the lord, it is my lord's mausoleum after all, and it is definitely not something that ordinary wizards can crack. It is safer to let the teacher of the lord come."

Ren knew it well. To put it bluntly, the other party still couldn't trust his own ability. A wizard who was just in his early twenties, no matter how famous he was, how could he be trusted by the Holy Soul wizard?

He smiled, "If you ask my teacher to help, the price will not be the demon souls of a few scarabs."

Djiko's face changed slightly.

Ren said again: "Besides, the teacher has important things to do these years, so he can't leave Wezeland easily, so I can only do it for him."

"My lord..."

Dejiko was still hesitating, when he saw Ren standing up, he said confidently: "Don't worry, Chief, open the door, I'm a professional! Even the teacher can't compare to me in this respect. In this world, there is no I can't open the door."

The tauren chief was shocked by Ren's tone.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded, "Then please trouble the lord."

"Wait." Ren raised his hand to stop Dejiko, "I only said that I can open the door, but Your Excellency the Chief also said that it is a tomb of a god, which is very dangerous, and only a few scarabs can open it." Devil Soul, it’s not enough for me and my brothers to take risks.”

"The arrangement in the mausoleum is only for pagans. Let me lead the way, and the lord can rest assured." Dejiko explained: "After the lord opens the door, you don't need to go in."

"I don't want to go in either, because I'm afraid that the person inside won't let me go." Ren shook his head and said.

Regardless of whether the person resurrected in the mausoleum is the God of Scorching Sun or not, even if he is not resurrected safely, he is still an extremely terrifying existence. Dejiko also said that the voice of the other party is full of evil and madness. It is difficult to escape.

Dejko opened his mouth, unable to make a guarantee.

He could only ask: "Then what does the lord mean?"

The initiative of the transaction immediately fell into Ren's hands. He smiled lightly and put forward an idea: "I can follow Your Excellency the Chief to enter the plane of the setting sun and go to that mausoleum. But before that, Your Excellency the Chief must lead me the way, at least Hunt the demon souls of fifty scarabs."

"After arriving at the mausoleum, I will judge whether to open the door."

"If I find it too dangerous, I can leave at any time." Ryan saw Dejiko's anxious face, "I will report to the teacher when I come back, and the teacher will decide whether to make a move, but Your Excellency may have to wait patiently for a few years. ?”

Dejko thought for a long time, and found that he had no choice, nodded and said: "Yes."

Ryan laughed, "Happy cooperation!"

"Pleasant cooperation."

Two very different hands held together, and Dejko said that the cooperation was happy, but his heart was full of bitterness.

He immediately walked out of the chamber and summoned the Sunwalkers.

Ren also told the Ultramarines to rest and prepare for battle.

An hour later, Dejiko's manpower had been summoned. In addition to himself, there were two legendary sunwalkers, one legendary middle-level and one legendary low-level, leading twenty-five tauren, the number of which was the same as that of the Ultramarines. All are high-level sunwalkers.

After the team converged, Dejiko took the lead and entered a tall building on the top of the mountain that was closely guarded by the tauren. There was a passage leading to the interior of the mountain.

The passage consists of spiraling stone steps, wide enough for three tauren to walk side by side.

There are such passages in the six peaks of Guangming Cliff, which can directly reach the ground, allowing the tauren to go back and forth between the top and the foot of the mountain. But on the highest mountain in the middle, the passage is not used to go up and down, but to go deeper into the ground, and a huge cave appears in front of you.

In a cave with a diameter of 100 meters, the dome is ten meters above the ground. A stone pillar totem penetrates from the ceiling, and its roots fall in the middle of the cellar.

A complex rune array is arranged on the ground around the stone pillar.

Ren recognized at a glance that this was a plane teleportation array, but it was different from the teleportation array in the Temple of Storms in details, and it seemed that the energy used to activate the teleportation array was different.

bang bang bang...

Heavy footsteps came from the passage on the other side of the crypt, and a group of kodo beasts were led out by the tauren. They are larger than ordinary Kodo beasts, with a body length of up to six meters. Metal armor is installed on the neck and sides, and a large skin bag filled with water and food is hung.

Ren glanced at it, and saw that there were more than fifty Kodo beasts, far exceeding the number of Sunwalkers, and they were obviously also equipped for the Ultramarines.

Dejiko explained: "The sky of Atas is shrouded in broken void, which is very dangerous, and it is easy to get lost when flying, so it is best to walk on the ground. Sir, your fighters, those flying dragons, don't release them at ordinary times. Come out so you don't get lost."

"Okay, I will tell everyone to be careful." Ren expressed his understanding.

Soon, the Sunwalker and the Ultramarines each mounted a kodo and finished the line in the Vault.

Dejiko took out eight golden crystals, inlaid them in the grooves on the totem of the stone pillar, stretched out his hand and pressed them to start infusing the power of the holy light, and rays of light that seemed to have substance shone out, flowing in the engraved lines of the totem , like a magic circle where liquid flows onto the ground.

Ren recognized that it was the Sun Crystal, which was very precious in Ellenus.

Half a minute later, the entire rune circle was lit up by the power of the holy light, and the light rolled back to the top of the stone pillar totem, and the space gradually distorted. With a bang, a five-meter-high golden teleportation was opened on the stone pillar. Door.

Dejiko hopped on his kodo and was the first to rush in.

Then came the other two Legendary Sunwalkers, and twenty-five tauren, all driving Kodo beasts, rushing into the golden portal one after another.

"Let's go in too."

Sicarius led the Ultramarines in a file, then Borch, and Ryan was the last to enter. The moment he entered the portal, the surrounding scene changed rapidly, layers of void flashed from the front to the back, and the body also floated as if it lost gravity. It lasted for about ten seconds, and the gravity returned to the body. The Kodo beast under the seat Step on firm ground.

Ren looked around and found that he was in another burrow, and the portal behind him was also on a huge stone pillar totem, which was gradually closing.

Dejiko rode a Kodo on a slanting stone path.

The end of this stone path was blocked by a huge boulder. He jumped down and moved the boulder several meters high with all his strength.

Suddenly, a beam of blood-red sunset light shone in, which was so dazzling that Ren could not help squinting his eyes.
