Chapter 67 Above the Moon

Following Ellome's suggestion, Ivan wrote down all the contents related to the nightmare and asked everyone to participate in the analysis.Originally, he didn't place much hope. After all, this dream was too trivial, and it was extremely difficult to sort it out by himself. Others would probably just treat it as a crazy dream.But what he didn't expect was that someone really found clues from it, and these famous detectives were neither qualified persons nor the intellectual brains of the empire, but a group of priests who focused on studying ancient documents.

The head priest is called Cruz, who is close to two hundred years old and is the most senior scholar in the temple.He is less than 1.6 meters tall, with a long face, sunken cheeks, slightly pale and densely wrinkled.Perhaps because he has been engaged in the research of ancient literature for a long time, his body is thin, his eyes are deep, and his face is full of beard, which looks a little immortal.

In the conference room, the elderly priest was on a drip while explaining his views with the help of a loudspeaker:

"If we do some research on the ancient myths of Menis, we can find a lot of familiar things according to King Yiwen's dream. In the early dynasty period, Menis once had a legend of killing the god gun. The specific shape of the gun, everyone Just take a look."

Having said that, he raised his left hand with difficulty, and glanced at the apprentice standing beside him.

The latter immediately put down the clay tablet wrapped in black cloth in his hand, and after uncovering the black cloth, the simple pattern on the ancient clay tablet was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes.However, due to the blurry outline on the clay board, the onlookers only saw a mess of lines, and they didn't know what to say when they looked at each other.

At this time, the apprentice took out a painting from his arms, and put it next to the ancient clay tablet on the conference table: "You may not see anything useful just by looking at the clay tablet. Please observe carefully the engraved patterns."

Everyone turned their attention to the painting in unison. In the picture, there was a scene of two humanoid creatures fighting.

A slightly smaller humanoid creature with crown-shaped horns on its head, holding a strangely shaped dark red bident that looks like it is fixed by two spears intertwined.It gripped the bident with both hands, thrust it into the chest of the large humanoid, and stepped on its chest, sending it into the water.

"That's the spear! The shape is exactly the same!"

Seeing this scene, Ivan stood up excitedly from his seat, pointed to the double halberd on the clay board, and said in surprise and joy: "I will never forget this strange intertwined shape in my life! And The guy whose heart was pierced fell into the sea just like that, and there is almost no difference in the posture of sinking into the water."

"Then the answer is obvious. This memory is the memory left to you by the ancient kings."

Cruz coughed lightly, raised his left hand tremblingly, and pointed at the small humanoid creature on the clay tablet:

"The name of this clay tablet is the Great Red Dragon. It was originally inlaid in the altar of the ancient temple, and it was worthy of the highest sacrifice. Under the ravages of a certain flood in the early dynasty, this clay tablet sank together with the temple. After entering the holy river, it was just blocked by layers of silt and buried for thousands of years.

It was not reappeared in the world until 19 years ago because of the drought of the holy river... The meaning contained in it should be to praise the feat of the red dragon killing the evil god.And... there's a subtle detail.Your Majesty Yiwen, please take a closer look, does this humanoid creature with a god-killing gun look very similar to Ugarte, the Lord of Light? ? "

"let me see!"

Yiwen stretched out his hand to volley to pick up the clay tablet, and held it in his hand to observe carefully.Sure enough, he found the unique eagle-wing crown of the King of Light. Not only that, but also the spike-shaped impact structure on its shoulder armor and the metal feathers on the back are also vaguely discernible.

"It really is the King of Light! Things are getting more and more interesting... This dream of mine is indeed the memory of a certain generation of kings!" He immediately confirmed the other party's guess.

"Then your dream is very easy to explain. During the early dynasty, the empire should have experienced a similar disaster, and the scope was even wider than the land of Menes at that time. In the final decisive battle, Ugarte, the king of light, held The god-killing spear pierced the heart of the evil god and won the final victory."

After saying this, Cruz gasped tiredly and rested for about 2 minutes before continuing:

"However, this battle did not completely kill the evil god, it only temporarily sealed it... That's why the catastrophe brought by the fear beast today. As for the voice that made you pull out the god-killing gun... I think it is very It's strange...it's not yet possible to draw a conclusion."

"You are right."

In order to express his respect for the wise man, Ivan has already used honorifics at this time, and said following the other party's meaning: "The God Killing Spear may still contain the evil gods, or it may be about to be eroded by the evil gods. question."

"As His Majesty said... there is no evidence for judgment." Cruz sighed and shook his head, as if his lungs were affected, and let out a series of weak coughs.

"Speak up."

Ivan carefully observed the clay tablet, and found that there was a piece missing in the lower left corner, and there was an unfinished line of ancient text on it: "This clay tablet seems to have signs of damage...Elder Cruz, when you found it, did you just There's this wear and tear."

"Yes."

Cruz gently closed his head, looked at the gap in the clay tablet, took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Although there is a gap, according to the remaining text on it and the ancient books of the early dynasty period, the meaning of this sentence should be— —All creatures originate from the ocean, and they can also be destroyed in the ocean.”

"All creatures originate from the ocean, and can they be destroyed in the ocean?"

Ivan showed a pensive look, looked at the pattern on the clay board, and then looked at Cruz: "Mr. Cruz, is there any deep meaning in it?"

"This layer... I haven't thought of it yet."

Cruz shook his head, turned his gaze to the ancient clay tablet, and said with a little hesitation:

"However, regarding the sea in the clay tablet painting, I have a conclusion that I am not sure about. Although this clay tablet does not indicate it, there are additional clay tablets to support it. According to their records, this ocean is called Uslebaatar means the Crimson Sea. The strangest thing is that the Crimson Sea is not in the empire, not even in this world..."

Because this conclusion is so outrageous, when he said it, he obviously had no confidence.

"Where is it!?" Ivan asked quickly.

"On the moon... I have consulted many ancient books of the early dynasty, and Uslebaatar is located on the surface of the moon."

"On the moon...?"

Ivan gently put down the stone slab, and his dark pupils seemed to be rippling, swaying in circles, and finally revealed a sharp light: "Ugarte, the king of light, killed the evil god on the surface of the moon... no wonder I Search, but can't find any trace of it!"

one-one-one-one-one

After sorting out some clues and confirming that it was impossible to continue digging in a short period of time, Ivan sent away Elder Cruz, who was obviously exhausted, but the meeting did not stop there.

"The situation seems to be somewhat clear... Our search has always been on the surface of Heberon, and we have never investigated the situation on the surface of the moon." Kalenz slightly gripped the armrest of the seat.

"The crimson sea on the surface of the moon..." the seal squinted his eyes, looked at the clay tablet copy on the conference table, and said with a sneer, "I don't think it's credible. Even if there is water on the surface of the moon, it must be stored in the structure of ice. There can be no ocean."

"Creatures like fear beasts are simply unreasonable... Your current knowledge and mine are not enough to deny everything," the beholder said shaking his head.

"Is it true or not? Ask the captain to launch a satellite and see if it will be clear soon?" Bai Xiong lowered his eyes.

"That's right." Ivan made a final decision.

"The matter of the satellite, when I just sent Mr. Cruz away, I already ordered the golden clown to handle it."

Ivan stretched out his hand, tapped it lightly in front of him, and suddenly a virtual display screen appeared in front of him: "It's already taken off at this moment, and in about half an hour, my detection satellite will reach the sky above the moon and detect the surface at close range. Crimson Whether the sea of ​​the sea exists, whether the place where the evil god seals is there... all of these will soon solve the mystery!"

……

Half an hour later, the exploration satellite successfully arrived at the sky above the moon. Through the remote video system, the mysterious veil of the moon's surface was unraveled: the taupe surface was barren, with only mud and rocks, densely packed with craters and bulge-like volcanoes.

"It's not what I expected."

Seeing this scene, the seal couldn't help nodding: "This is what a satellite should look like. It's simply unscientific to want to preserve water and form an ocean without an atmosphere!"

"What are you in a hurry for?" Erica rolled his eyes at him, showing a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "The satellite has just arrived on the moon, and it hasn't traveled far. At least wait until it flies around the world before drawing conclusions!"

"makes sense."

Seeing that everyone was staring at the screen nervously, the seal swallowed the rebuttal, and did not say anything rationally.

The pyramid-shaped satellite continued to float in the air, and with the high-frequency operation of the built-in detector, it quickly swept across the surface of the moon.The scenery in the picture is monotonous, except for the crater formed by the impact of the meteorite, there are only brown land and the Grand Canyon.

Not to mention the ocean, not even a gram of ice was detected.

45 minutes later.

"Wait! There is a situation!"
