Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 185: Enter the pyramid

After rushing into the blood-red stone gate of the pyramid, what appeared in front of Lawrence was a stone hole that looked pitted. It can be seen from the two walls and the stone cross-sections on both sides of the wall that this hole should be a moving hole that the **** sky forced out of the wall when it could not find the entrance to the pyramid.

After stepping towards the inside for about ten meters, the surrounding environment immediately became dark, and Lawrence felt that the road under his feet was much smoother. Through eyes with dark vision, he found himself in a tunnel made of huge stones, and the stones were not connected with any cement or mortar.

Considering that the number of Jackals I saw along the way just now was not very large, and the tools used were mostly stone and wood, even metal tools were few. So this pyramid must be built with some extraordinary powers. The local population and the tools they use alone cannot be built.

The fall of the samurai standing at the door of the tabernacle quickly aroused the alertness of other patrols. Just ten seconds after Lawrence had penetrated into the corridor, he heard shouts and messy footsteps coming from the entrance of the corridor.

But it might be because it was a forbidden place for the jackals, so the jackals just stood at the door and shouted. No one dared to walk into that stone gate or throw bows and arrows and javelins in, which also let Lawrence breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he is not afraid of the jackals at the door who can only rely on brute force, and even with his ability to be able to kill out of the more than 1,000 guards in this circle of the city wall unharmed, he can kill him when it is not necessary. It is always good to reduce the casualties of the innocent.

After turning a corner, the noise behind him also slowly disappeared. Lawrence began to observe the interior of the pyramid with interest.

This is a very rare opportunity. After all, after the destruction of the Nile civilization in this world, the kings of the ancient Nile civilization who should have rested uncovered their coffins under the pollution of various filthy and chaotic atmospheres, and then formed an extreme The forces of evil. The pyramids built there have also become bases for the dead, known as the Tomb Kings, and even the Nile River, the source of the ancient Nile civilization, has changed from the river of life in the past to the current river of danger.

This also makes that almost no one of the living intelligent creatures has seen the inside of the top ancient Nile pyramid. Today, the only pyramids that everyone can see up close are those near the port of Iskandar, but those pyramids are at best second-rate in the ancient Nile civilization.

So after Lawrence discovered that some colored bas-relief began to appear on the corridor, he immediately summoned the book charm from a book in the pocket of his waist and let it float behind him and began to record the patterns on both sides of the corridor.

"Oh, great master! This is really precious information." As soon as the book charm came out, I saw the patterns on the walls on both sides. "Sure enough, as long as I follow your footsteps, I can continue to acquire all kinds of precious knowledge. ——"

Listening to the exaggerated flattery of the book charm behind him, Lawrence felt that his somewhat depressed mood because of the narrow space in the tunnel became slowly relaxed. Next he walked forward and scanned the murals on both sides of the road.

Because the people in the **** sky did not destroy the surrounding murals, Lawrence was able to see the original appearance of the murals in the ancient Nile era. The content of these murals and colorful bas-reliefs are not serious content related to the gods in the imagination, but some very warm-looking pictures.

For example, there is a mural showing a group of jackals standing under the vines to harvest grapes, while several other jackals are standing next to them in a special space stepping on these grapes to squeeze the grape juice. On the wall opposite this picture is a large group of jackals with tools in their hands to harvest wheat. In short, the pictures painted here are some very warm-looking pictures of ordinary people's production and life.

The internal structure of this small hill-like pyramid is completely different from that of Lawrence's last life. It does not have a single channel, but a complex system of tunnels like a spider web.

The only thing worth celebrating is that it may be because it is a very sacred place that is not suitable for placing any dangerous things, or it may be that the people from the **** sky have already explored the way when they came in. So Lawrence did not encounter any dangerous traps on the road.

After he walked carefully along the road for more than 20 minutes, he found himself in front of a stone gate. Each of the two gates of Shimen has a human-shaped recess, which looks like a gap left by something before it walks down from the door.

"This looks a bit like the legendary samurai corpse puppet." At this time, the book charm that floated closer to the two grooves and felt it, and said, "We should be glad that the corpse leader here no longer exists, because the The weak samurai corpse puppets are all expert-level, and the breath left in this groove is probably hero-level."

"How do you know this?" Lawrence turned to look at Shumei and asked, "Have you ever read books on this subject before, or have you met someone who has studied this subject?"

"Both." Shumei said after turning around Lawrence in a somewhat mischievous way, "Although one of my former masters was an ordinary person, he was also a researcher of ancient Nile civilization. Even me and him I went into a pyramid near Iskander Port and inspected it together. So I still have some understanding of this."

"For example, the corpse puppets of the ancient Nile civilization are the products of the gods, and they are all made by the most steadfast believers of these gods." In the dim stone front hall in front of the gate, Shumei used his The child-like voice spoke of a piece of knowledge that modern people would sound extremely strange.

"The predecessors of the samurai corpse puppets must be transcendents who believe in these ancient Nile gods, and at the same time reach the level of a master. These transcendents will make a great wish to dedicate everything to their gods before they die."

"After this decision is made, only a part of the souls of these believer volunteers will enter the kingdom of the gods they believe in, while the other part of the souls without self will be sealed in their bodies and pass A series of magic rituals eventually turned into a corpse puppet."

"These samurai corpse puppets were extremely powerful forces for the church and the gods in that era. They were often used in some important battles. Of course, they were also used for guarding in some important positions. And because these corpse puppets are usually in It consumes very little in a static state~lightnovelpub.net~ so now I can occasionally encounter them when exploring the ruins of the ancient Nile civilization."

"It turns out that the corpse of the samurai is like this." After listening to the explanation, Lawrence nodded. After obtaining permission, Lawrence also read many internal materials of the church in St. Gutenberg Cathedral, and the materials did mention it. The corpse puppet of Ancient Nile. It's just that the description of this kind of thing is limited to size, level and ability. Did not say their origin.

So after hearing how this kind of thing was made, Lawrence said that his three views were greatly shocked. After all, in the current Orthodox churches, there is basically no church that has such a habit.

Although the Church of the Reaper still uses similar corpse puppets, it only uses the remains of believers in the church or the corpses of enemies, and it has nothing to do with the soul.

It is very news for Lawrence that the corpse of the samurai is not here, but the problem now is that he found that the stone door in front of him could not be opened after trying.

"Master, let's find out if there are any other roads around for the servants in the Pyramid." After seeing Lawrence tried several times without pushing open the stone gate, Shumei retrieved the knowledge stored in his body. Proposed to Lawrence.
