Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 188: decision

Lawrence followed the corridor beside the magic pool to the other side of the magic pool, and then he opened the space bag to let Resolute Hope hide in with his book charm, and then stepped up the stairs to the upper floor.

According to the occult knowledge that Lawrence has previously mastered, ordinary magic towers often arrange their control rooms and various functional rooms above the magic pool. However, because it is not clear about the layout of this ancient pyramid and the large amount of liquidized magic power that I saw just now goes up the pipe from the magic pool. So he held a gun in one hand when he went upstairs. Prepare magic with one hand. The whole person is in a state of extreme vigilance and ready to fight at any time.

Quietly along the way, nothing happened. However, the exit at the other end of the stairs was a closed stone door with a piece of animal skin painted with bright red runes pasted on it.

After approaching, Lawrence found that the hide looked very new, as if it had been here for a few days. At the same time, the red runes above are as bright as they were just painted.

"What is this? Is the Buddha sticker on the Five Elements Mountain?" Because this thing is just pasted there, all the runes on it have no hidden encryption, so Lawrence as the caster quickly understood what this thing is and how use. Just like he vomited, the only purpose of the animal skin in front of him was to block the door from the outside to prevent the contents from rushing out.

And to lift this seal is very simple, just reach out and lift this thing off the wall. Obviously, this design is purely for the convenience of the sealer to release the seal and enter the Shimen again.

Of course, this also shows that the person who designed this seal is convinced that he can come back in the future. However, judging from the current situation, his plan is still miscalculated because of what he encountered.

After reaching for the animal skin seal from the stone door, the stone door automatically opened inward. A small stone vestibule appeared in front of Lawrence.

This is a room made of regular large stones, with light yellow slabs carefully decorated inside. But unlike the magnificent room downstairs, the four walls and ceiling of this room are mainly frescoes of daily life in the Ancient Nile era painted with various colored mineral dyes.

But the picture that should have been very harmonious and warm has now become tattered, large pieces of decorative slabs smashed to pieces on the ground, and the remaining part is mostly covered by black blood.

Below these blood, there was a rotting corpse with only dry bones. And each withered bone held an exquisite dagger made of steel in the hand. Some of these daggers lay horizontally on the cervical vertebrae, and some fell to the ground with the hanging arms.

Obviously these people committed suicide, and they were still very determined to commit suicide. Because the blood is splattered, splattered far. Only those who are determined to die will slash the short sword across their neck so hard, leaving such blood marks and leaving the same cut on the neck bone.

"These corpses should belong to the people from the **** sky." Lawrence endured the discomfort in his heart and checked the human bones in front of him and came to a conclusion. Although the bodies of these deceased have decayed, some things left on the side of their remains allowed Lawrence to successfully determine the identity of the deceased.

Even from the remains of the dead, Lawrence found several magic badges that had expired. The text on these badges indicated that the dead who fell here were not only members of Scarlet Firmament, but also senior personnel in Scarlet Firmament.

"But why did they choose to commit suicide here?" With such curiosity, Lawrence checked the corpses on the ground. At the beginning, he didn't find any clues, but after opening a remains, he found some traces on the ground that seemed to be carved with daggers.

There are not many texts, and they look very messy. After simply rubbing all the words on the ground with the paper and charcoal carried in the space bag, Lawrence still got some important news from these few words.

"We can't get out, why did the leader do this?" "We succeeded, but is this the reward?" "Cheating, the leader is a liar, he left us and ran away--" The first few comments were all this This is probably due to a kind of disbelief after the trusted leader is trapped here, and then a lot of swear words that need to be silenced to express the indignation in the heart.

But at the end of the whole message, Lawrence felt that his hairs were standing up, because those nicks that were much deeper and scribbled than the others conveyed an extremely terrible news.

"After trying for a long time, we still haven't found a way to get out of here. In order to maintain everyone's morale, we talked about our previous work. After communicating with each other about the work everyone has done, we discovered a terrible fact, that Everything we did in the previous few years was to create a taboo, a terrible taboo. Hehe, we really—damn it."

At the end of the last text was a mass of jet-black blood, which matched the corpses who had apparently died of suicide at the scene. Lawrence quickly figured out what research these senior clergymen in the Scarlet Sky should have been doing during their lifetime. After the research was successful, the leader of the Scarlet Sky directly trapped them here.

Since the previous research belonged to everyone responsible for it, these people did not know what the leader of the Scarlet Sky was doing. But when they were trapped here and got a chance to communicate, they found that they had made a huge mistake. So that he gave up the hope of escape and chose death peacefully.

And now there is a stone gate between the thing called Taboo and Lawrence. After [Appraisal Technique] check, this gate needs a non-evil creature to input magic power that does not contain any dark and blood power before it can be opened. At the same time, some simple ceremonies should be held. Obviously, the corpse here, as the strength in the body of the senior person in the **** sky, obviously does not meet this requirement, so it sighed that he was trapped here.

"Do you think I should go in or not go in?" Lawrence asked after opening the space bag, and then roughly explained his previous discovery for the book charm hidden inside.

"It's up to you to decide, my great master." Shumei said in a very rare and serious tone. "You only need to choose what you want, but no matter how you choose, I will follow you."

"I understand." Lawrence nodded, then sat in a place where there were no remains and thought. Obviously, going forward is extremely risky. But if he retreats, then all the gains this time will be almost zero, and then he can only give this precious astral plane to a certain church to avoid being harmed by this uncontrolled plane.

"I still have to fight." After more than ten minutes of thinking, Lawrence made up his mind~www.ltnovel.com~ If you want to achieve success on the extraordinary road, you must have the courage to take risks. Once you lose this courage, even if you have the best conditions It is impossible to go far on the extraordinary road. Not to mention that such an astral plane can provide enough resources for his transcendent path, even if he has not found any transcendental resource output here for the time being.

Thinking of this he stood up, then walked to the stone door and took a deep breath. Then he pressed his hands on the stone gate and began to input magic power.

With the input of magic power, complicated hieroglyphs began to appear on the stone gate. Lawrence discovered that these hieroglyphs were actually an elegant poem praising God Hobbit.

Because of the previous gift from the God of Knowledge, Lawrence mastered the use of this language. So the first time his words appeared, he began to recite the above poem in ancient language.

"Long live, the Nile! You appear on this earth, come safely, constantly irrigate the earth, and give life to everything on it. The journey down from heaven, the master of the river, the giver of the fertile land, God Habi Ah, you brought life to every household—"

When the last word fell, the door opened silently inward. The entire pyramid and possibly the core of the entire astral plane appeared in front of Lawrence.
