Chapter 279: Statue of the Old God
It is normal to have secret rooms in ruins. Whether it is a ruin from the mythical era or a dungeon built by wizards, everyone likes to build secret rooms. This has become a habit.
Many ruins that have been discovered for dozens or hundreds of years have been plundered by adventurers to the extent that even the floor tiles have been taken away, but there are still rumors of new secret rooms from time to time.
Aoerdai looked into the secret room, then raised his hand and hit a magic sphere that emitted cold light. Seeing that there was no roar of any monster in the secret room, he walked in.
This room is still very empty, less than twenty screens, and semicircular.
At the end of the secret room stands a stone sculpture about four or five meters high.
Like most sculptures in ruins, the details have become blurred due to the passage of time, and only its more obvious features can be identified.
This is a sculpture wearing a robe, a crown, and holding a scepter. The facial details are completely unclear, but it can be seen that there is a pair of huge curved horns on the head of the sculpture, and a tail behind the buttocks, but the tail is fragile and has broken and fallen to the ground.
When he got closer, Alde noticed that the robe did not cover the whole body, or to be precise, it was not all a robe. One part was the wings extending from the back to the front, covering the chest like a cloak.
This looks like a statue of the demons, but demons do not have tails and wings.
"Is that a statue of our tiefling?"
"Impossible."
"You think too much."
Before Alde could speak, Delger and Perrin shattered Nimia's dream.
It is indeed similar to the tiefling, such as having horns and tails, but the tiefling does not have wings.
In front of the statue is a stone altar, and the front of the altar seems to be carved with some kind of pattern.
Nimia reached out with a bit of regret to wipe the dust off the front of the altar, revealing the pattern on it.
"A pentagram? Could it be related to the devil?"
"Don't look at me! Although I have the blood of the lower plane, you are discriminating!"
Demons or devils come from the lower plane, and their hybrid with mortals is tiefling.
Because demons and devils are too fucked up, tieflings are also discriminated against in the mortal world, and Nimia is also very sensitive to this.
Aoerdai didn't listen to the conversation of others. She carefully looked at the stone carving of the pentagram and found that there were three flame-shaped patterns in the center of the stone carving. They were very small and unclear, but they did exist.
Then she looked up at the statue standing behind the altar, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked.
In a trance, Aoerdai seemed to see that the unclear face of the stone statue suddenly turned into the appearance of Li Chengxi, which startled Aoerdai and unconsciously took a half step back.
At this time, the face of the stone statue was still so unclear, as if it was just an illusion.
But Orday already had the answer in his mind.
This is the statue of the previous Demon King, and the pentagram is also his holy emblem.
This place was obviously built in secret, and the individuals or organizations that tried to destroy the existence of the Demon King did not know about it, so it was preserved.
After thinking for a while, Orday turned around and said to the three people who were arguing about discrimination:
"Do you have a god you believe in?"
Perrin grabbed his holy emblem when he heard it, which meant, do you think I don't have any faith?
This is like asking a maintenance worker what job you do.
But Orday mainly asked Derge and Nimya, and the two looked at each other when they heard it.
"When I was a child, I believed in the Soul Forger with my family, but I haven't prayed to him for nearly a hundred years."
Soul Forger Moradin, the main god of the dwarves, most dwarves believe in him.
But it's not absolute. Adventurers like Derge are generally too lazy to believe in a certain god. Compared with gods who may not provide help, the axe in their hands is more reliable.
"I don't have any either. Just staying alive is hard enough. How can I have time?"
Tieflings are very similar to demons, but that doesn't mean they will believe in demons.
Due to widespread discrimination, it is difficult for tieflings to find stable jobs. Most tieflings will join the ranks of adventurers, at least there will be no racial requirements for this job.
Auerde looked at Draguer, shook her head, and looked at Nimya again. This time she said:
"Come here and kneel in front of the altar."
"Ah? What do you want me to do?"
"Pray and try."
"Uh... is this really okay?"
Perrin interrupted at this time:
"Praying to unknown gods is a very dangerous thing."
If it is a good god, it's okay, but if it is an evil god, it will be troublesome.
"It's not a big problem. This statue has lost its power. Look at how it has decayed."
That's true.
All statues are not so easy to destroy. This thing is actually equivalent to the camera of the god in the mortal world, and it is generally blessed with weak divine power.
On the other hand, since it has decayed, it means that the god represented by the statue has either forgotten about it or has fallen.
Nimya didn't want to do such a risky thing, and felt that Olday was using her as a guinea pig.
"You don't have to open your heart, just silently recite your wishes in your heart, I promise there will be no danger. How about this, I will give you an extra 10% of the profit from this adventure."
"Really?"
When Nimya heard that there was money to be made, she immediately became interested.
This is because she was afraid of being poor when she was a child.
Following Alday's instructions, she knelt on one knee in front of the altar, clasped her thumbs with both hands close to the tip of her nose, closed her eyes at the same time, and silently said in her heart, "I want gold coins, lots and lots of gold coins."
——I am indeed afraid of poverty.
There was no reaction at first, and Aldai thought there might be something wrong with her guess.
But just a few seconds later, the statue suddenly lit up with a layer of golden light.
This layer of light formed a beam and hit Nemea who was kneeling in front of the altar, but it was not an attack and Nemea himself was not aware of it.
Immediately, a huge crack opened in the statue, and the four- to five-meter-tall statue quickly collapsed in front of everyone, eventually turning into a ball of rubble.
Nemea was awakened by the sound and took several steps back to avoid the scattered gravel and dust. Only then did she notice that she was covered with a layer of golden light, and the golden aura quickly dissipated and merged into the Nemean skin.
"What's that?"
Aldai did not answer, but asked:
"how are you feeling?"
"I feel...I feel as if I am full of power."
This is an indescribable feeling, just like waking up naturally from sleep, feeling inexplicably more energetic.
"You don't feel any discomfort, right?"
"Well, rather, it feels good."
"emmm..."
Looking Neemia up and down, Aldai said to the other two people:
"Turn around first, don't look back."
"Why?"
"Because I need to take off my clothes for inspection."
"."
Palin and Derger immediately turned around. Aldai waved his hand, and there seemed to be an extra layer of curtain in the air, making it difficult to see clearly.
Then she went straight to unbuttoning Neemia's clothes.
"Wait! Stop it! I'll take it off myself! Don't take off my pants!"
It’s no wonder that Viola often said that Aldai’s research spirit was fucked, and she didn’t care about anything once she encountered something she was interested in.
Since it was not cold yet, Nemea needed to be flexible as a wanderer, so she didn't wear much, so Aldee took off her clothes in just a few strokes, leaving her in her underwear.
Carefully observing the Tiefling's burgundy skin, his concentration made Neemia even wonder if Aldai was a crook.
However, Aldai was obviously not interested in Goji, and she soon discovered a mark that looked like a brand on Neemia's lower back.
There are three flame-like marks in the center of a five-pointed star.
Aldai stretched out her fingers and touched it a little, trying to confirm whether this thing existed from the beginning or whether it appeared because of the prayer just now.
But when Aldai's fingers touched it, the mark suddenly twisted, changing from a five-pointed star to a slightly open pattern of a hand.
That is Li Chengqi's holy symbol.
