Encyclopedia of Feanor Continent

Sharma, the god of war, the king of heroes, and the first queen of Feinuo, was born in an inauspicious year and died in 803 AD. The coffin is stored in the Sharma Temple in Baita City.

Sharma's deeds are known to everyone in the entire Feanor continent. There are countless ancient books that record her strength, beauty and wisdom. There are too many legends and stories about her, but what is interesting is that when I travel However, many places contradicting the legends were found in some monuments before the Second Cataclysm.

"It seems that we have reached our destination." The mage climbed lightly on Palos, and took the bundle of long ropes from Kent. He found a stone suitable for tying the rope around, and tied the rope firmly. Ask: "Who wants to go down first?"

"I'll do it." Palos grabbed the rope and slid down slowly, and Evandel grabbed his shoulder armor this time, getting closer than before.

Palos tried to focus on something else to keep himself from thinking wildly, the surrounding white fog was billowing, and he could hardly see anything, only the ghosts were screaming and trying to pounce on them, he had to keep chanting exorcism Make sure the two of them are not overwhelmed by ghosts.

"It's amazing." Evandel didn't panic at all, and his tone was calm as if what he saw was not a terrible sight, but a pleasing natural wonder, "I have never seen so many ghosts crowded together. scenes together."

Palos didn't speak up. In fact, he didn't have any idea in his heart. He was afraid that the rope would not be long enough and he would fall, and he was afraid that something would rush out of the thick fog to attack them, and he was afraid that he would slide all the way to hell as the mage said.But Palos felt that with Avandell by his side, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about anything. No matter what the situation was, this powerful and wise mage could find a way to solve it.

This kind of mood is really subtle. Not long ago, his impression of the group of mages was still dangerous and unpredictable, and he had to be cautious, but now he trusts a mage wholeheartedly, even for the mages. Trust more than your own mentor-Kent can make mistakes, but Avondel's judgment never seems to be wrong.

In such wild thoughts, the bat on the mage's shoulder suddenly began to chirp, and Evandel translated for him: "Stop it."

Palos quickly grasped the rope tightly with his gloved fingers, and Evandel said again: "You shake it from side to side."

Palos did the same. After he hung on the rope twice, he felt his knee hit something hard. Palos swayed harder to swing himself over, stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A stick that looks like wood.

But the dry and rotten wood shattered the moment he caught it, and Palos swung out again. He tried several times before he finally caught something and fixed himself.

After climbing up and standing still, Palos saw clearly that this was a half-collapsed house. This room seemed to be split from the middle by someone, leaving only half of the second floor floor and the only remaining A little bit of the roof, what he grabbed just now was probably the beams on the roof or something. Thousands of years have rotted the wood to such an extent that only the stone part is still standing.

Next to it was a bottomless crack that split the already ruined city into two halves.

The mage's slow fall technique has also reached its limit. He got off the knight. When Palos was looking for a place to tie the rope, he looked around with a torch, but he could only see a thick layer of dust on the ground. No house is complete, most of them are only faintly identifiable broken tiles and ruins, and occasionally some dried corpses can be seen among the ruins, all with their mouths wide open, their movements frozen in the most painful and desperate moment .

"Is this really the White Tower City?" Although he had already prepared himself to some extent, the tragedy he saw was beyond Palos' imagination.

"It's unmistakable. After all, it's been more than 2000 years. Such a long time is enough to turn many things into dust." Evandel said, "Judging from the density of the foundation, this area was once very prosperous and should be the center of the city. area. Sharma's shrine may be nearby, but hopefully we're lucky it's on this side of the Rift, or we'll have to find our way to the other side of the cliff."

At this time, the other two Templars also slid down the rope. The three Templars stood together, expanding the range of the Holy Word of Exorcism, but they still couldn't see anything outside the range of the Holy Word. , the place illuminated by the torch can only see the white mist and countless distorted human faces that appear and disappear from time to time.

With such a thick fog, even the dark elves, who can see things in complete darkness, cannot see clearly beyond ten meters. However, bats don’t need to use their eyes to see. Natalie uses what humans cannot hear. Echo explored the way and pointed out a general direction for them.

The Templars were secretly rejoicing. If what they brought was not a mage, but an ordinary ancient language expert, they might have to grope in this place where they could not tell the direction until the supplies were completely exhausted. Before, the Templars would have to retreat due to exhaustion. Although the power of the Holy Word will not be exhausted as quickly as the magic power of the mage, it is not inexhaustible.

In the past, the gods that people could legally believe in were not only the God of Light, but also other gods such as the God of Wisdom, the God of Life, the God of Fortune, the God of the Earth, the God of Justice, and many others that people have no way of knowing now. gods.

Of course, some of them worship the God of War Sharma himself as a god. Although Sharma claims that she has lost her divine power, it is useless to worship her. People still spontaneously built many temples dedicated to Sharma. The largest and most luxurious is the Sharma Temple in Baita City. It is said that after Sharma died, his body was also buried in this temple.

In order to commemorate the goddess who ended the war between gods and demons and saved the world, people set up powerful protective magic around the temple. According to ancient books, it is a kind of magic that "can exist forever and cannot be broken by any force." ", and also left the artifact "Sphere of Life" that she held in the temple.

That's why the Templars worked so hard to get here.

Looking at the scene that was even more desolate than the ancient tomb, the templar Basil said not optimistically: "All the buildings have become like this. Will Sharma's temple also be turned into ruins long ago?"

The mage said: "Natalie saw a very big statue. According to ancient books, there is an 18-meter-high marble statue at the entrance of the Sharma Temple. Since the statue is still alive, the temple should also be there."

"Anyway, let's go and have a look." Kent was limping. He twisted his foot when climbing the cliff just now, but he pushed away Palos who wanted to help him with a strong attitude. Everyone is in a hurry.

Palos looked at the mage for help, and Evandel shook his head: "I have nothing to do with the sprain, I can only let him rest well, cooperate with ice compresses and massage to speed up the recovery, and you know, the role of the holy words of exorcism Within the range, I can't cast spells."

"It's just a twisted foot, it doesn't matter." Kent said, "The goal is not far away, and the most important thing is to find the sacred object as soon as possible."

Led by the bats, they arrived at the place where the statue was located in a short time. The bats could not see the details clearly by relying on the echo. When they came to the foot of the statue, they found that the pedestal of the statue was covered with dust and There was a crack, half of the head fell to the left foot, and the arm that was supposed to hold the ball of life fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

In the surrounding area, there are only debris and ruins of bricks and tiles on the ground, and it is even impossible to tell what these buildings looked like before they collapsed.

"...In the end we came here for nothing." Basil sighed.

"We won't come in vain." Kent said resolutely, "The Ball of Life is an artifact, and an artifact cannot be damaged. It must still be buried in these ruins. We must find it!"

"Enough is enough, we've done our best, let's accept reality!" Basil broke out suddenly, and he yelled at Kent, "There are so many ruins, we don't even know where the temple is! How long will we have to clean up?" Find the right place? And some of the pieces are simply not something we can move!"

Kent sat wearily on a broken wall, looking a little bit shocked, and said as if comforting himself: "We have a mage, he will find a way..."

"I've never heard of magic that can lift heavy objects, and have you forgotten the undead around? When we cast the exorcism, he couldn't cast spells at all. As soon as we stopped the exorcism, he would immediately Swallowed alive by ghosts!" Basil took a few deep breaths, and his tone became a little calmer, "There is nothing we can do, let's give up."

Palos, who had been silent all this time, said, "It's too rash to give up like this. At least we should look for places where we can move."

He turned his head to look at the mage, wanting to ask for advice, but saw Evandel squatting in front of the statue's pedestal holding a torch, carefully reading the words on it, and didn't care what they were arguing about.

"Mr. Evandel?" Palos called him.

Avender straightened up and said calmly, "Even if you dig for 100 years, you won't be able to find it, because none of the surrounding ruins are Sharma temples."

"...Did we find the wrong place?"

"No, the location is right." Evandel said, "Actually, I have been wondering what the ancient book said about the protective shield that can exist forever and will never be broken. According to my understanding From the understanding of magic, any protective shield needs an endless supply of magic power. Once the supply is interrupted, the protective shield will disappear, and there is no protective shield that cannot be broken by external force, except for one case, that is, space isolation. So Sharma's temple should be hidden in an independent space, not the so-called magic shield, am I right?"

He looked at the Templar Commander Kent, and Kent just held his forehead: "...I don't know, and the information we have is limited."

"And this limited news has to be hidden from me." The mage looked at him with folded arms.

Basil still couldn't believe it: "Another space? No matter how you look at it, this is too unbelievable."

"I couldn't believe it at first, because even for the Age of Demons, creating an independent space as a mausoleum is too extravagant. Until I noticed a detail, you said that you hired me to unlock the temple However, a message was inadvertently revealed in the words. To unlock this protection, you only need to be proficient in ancient languages, and there is no requirement for you to know magic. This is very interesting. There is no magic shield. It can be released without magic, unless what you want is not 'release' at all, but 'passing', all you need is a key to enter that space, and this key is related to the ancient language."

"The ancient book found by the church does say so," Kent said. "As long as you read the words on the entrance and exit statues in ancient languages, you can be let go."

"What else was said in that ancient book that you refused to show me anyway, tell me all the details."

Kent sighed: "It was an early translation of the common language promotion. The front part is similar to the common Sharma legend. There is only one sentence about the method of entering the temple, 'hand in hand, read the stone tablet in front of the statue If you read the text on it, you can be released.' I don't know what this is implying."

"There is no hint of anything, this passage has been very clear - the text on the stone tablet is the key to open the entrance of the space."
