Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 184: pyramid

After making up his mind, Lawrence immediately began preparations. Of course, this does not mean that he is directly walking down the hillside and rushing into the pyramid with such big thorns, because during the investigation process just now, he discovered that a five- to six-meter-high wall surrounded the entire pyramid in the center. A series of buildings that looked like temples were also enclosed in the city wall.

Although the jackal guards patrolling the city wall and the jackal clergy in the buildings that seem to be temples within the city wall are just ordinary people, considering that there are at least 1,000 jackals here, Lawrence Decided to collect some information outside, and then enter this pyramid after making full preparations.

Through the observation a few hours before dark, especially the approaching reconnaissance of the phantom bugs. Lawrence did find a lot of interesting things from here. For example, on the surface of the pyramid facing the main entrance of the city wall, there is a place covered by a linen tent painted with various patterns. At the entrance of the tent, six senior warriors wearing painted leather armor are stationed.

The reason why they are considered high-ranking warriors is that on the one hand, Lawrence has never seen a Jackal in the upper half of the clothes except for these people along the way. On the other hand, the perception strengthened by the Bai Ze blood line can be vaguely in five. Six hundred meters away, I felt that those people were extraordinary.

Because Lawrence has never seen anything related to transcendence along the way, so even these so-called transcendents are not even a trainee level, that is, stronger than ordinary people, and probably only use a little brute force. Warrior. But in such an environment, they can also be called the people on this plane at the top of their power.

There is no doubt that the place where these people can be stationed in this plane must be extremely important. So Lawrence found a bushy place to hide himself, and then he held the telescope and started to observe.

During the observation, he found that the building complex under the pyramid can be regarded as heavily guarded. On the city wall and the road connecting that city, those brave warriors with linen waist cloths around their waists, shirtless headscarves or quiver cross-body, holding a triangular bow, or a large leather shield in one hand, Holding a spear with a golden metal spear tip to form a group patrol.

These jackal warriors patrolled very regularly, so Lawrence saw the warriors stationed at the entrance of the linen tent on the edge of the pyramid change defense. And during the time when these samurai changed their defenses, Lawrence saw everything in the tent through the opened tent door.

This tabernacle had walls on only three sides, and the side against the pyramid was empty. And just on the wall of the pyramid that was shrouded in the tabernacle, a door opened. This door is built of pure red stones, and the patterns on the top are some weird skulls and monsters, which do not look like the original structure of the pyramid.

And just outside this gate are two extraordinary men who also have not reached the level of apprenticeship guarding here, but they wear the kind of bronze armor with golden metal scales and the crescent axe made of the same metal in their hands. As a result, their identities should be more noble, and their combat effectiveness should be stronger.

But these were not the places Lawrence paid attention to. At the moment the curtain blocking the door was lifted, he saw the carved six-armed snake-man relief on the stone door representing the **** sky. This also shows that People from the **** sky have been here.

After confirming this, he began to suspect that the weird runes and the blood-red tower tops on the pyramid were not painted on the tower at the beginning of the construction, but the blood-colored sky was painted for what purpose.

This kind of speculation is very reasonable, because the earliest hobbit was the **** of the Nile and the **** of fertility. So in the astral plane controlled by his church, theoretically, there would be no runes related to death and blood. And it was proved that the power controlled by the other power that controls this place is just related to blood and death.

Eight hours later, the sky began to dim. Lawrence, who has mastered the guard shifting rules of this place, easily released the [disguise technique] into the background color, although there are some torches and braziers on the wall. But the light of these braziers or torches that use animal fat or linseed oil as fuel is very dim, so that the guards who are just ordinary people never found Lawrence who used metal hooks and ropes to climb over the wall.

After entering the bounding area of ​​the fence, Lawrence saw something that he hadn't seen before because the fence blocked his vision. For example, in front of the temple in front of the linen tabernacle, there is an extremely flat square, which is covered with square stone slabs polished in light yellow.

In the middle of the square, there is a road paved with golden grains of sand connecting the temple and the gate on the city wall, and on both sides of this path are five or six-meter-high small square points that are completely incompatible with the surrounding environment. monument.

According to the customs of the ancient Nile civilization, it is a very common practice to tree cubic obelisks in front of various important temples or other buildings. They will record various temple-related information on the obelisks.

However, under normal circumstances, this kind of obelisk will be carved with gray, black or ocher stone. Some special and transcendent areas have carved obelisks of gold or crystals. In short, on the whole, the obelisk of the Ancient Nile Civilization paid great attention to achieving a harmony with the surrounding environment during the construction.

And now the obelisks standing on both sides of the sacred road leading to the temple are all carved with a blood-red stone, and they are not traditional hieroglyphs, runes or the plane of the ancient Nile gods. Sculpture. But some vivid sculptures that appeared in the Enlightenment after the end of the Dark Age.

These sculptures are all monsters with very distorted bodies. Lawrence has seen some in the books of the Church of Knowledge, but he has never seen most of them. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these monsters are all extremely evil chaotic monsters.

Lawrence could feel the magic power emanating from these obelisks when he approached the obelisks, but he could also feel the magic power on these stones as well. Even the magic on some stone tablets has disappeared. This means that even if these rooms were used in the past, they are now just decorations.

Following the shadows in those rooms~lightnovelpub.net~ Lawrence soon lurked to the place closest to the tabernacle. With the help of dark vision, the patrols and clergy who can only move around with the nearby dim torches have no way to discover Lawrence who hides his figure by magic.

However, the last seven or eight meters of the journey became the most troublesome section of this adventure, because there was a circle of torches around the clearing in front of the tabernacle that illuminated it, and Lawrence did not think that his simple [disguise technique] could be used from this The place is confused.

But this is not without a solution. Lawrence quickly touched the unguarded side of the tent according to the terrain and the habits of these people just observed. After that, two bottles of coma potions were thrown into the center of the group of guards at the door and inside the door almost simultaneously from the side.

In an instant, two clouds of gray smoke instantly enveloped the surrounding space. The two samurai in the tent and the six samurai guarding at the entrance of the tent fell to the ground at the same time. I have to say that the potions prepared by Tina and the rat people are indeed very powerful, especially in the face of these ordinary people who are just looking at the doorway. For the Jackal.

After the potion worked, Lawrence took advantage of the fact that these guards were all unconscious, opened the door curtain and broke into the tent, and then quickly rushed into the tent when the guards and clergymen outside could not react. Inside the stone gate on the pyramid.
