Chapter 1427: Zheka Temple (2)

A few minutes later, Lucy saw a badly damaged sculpture. The statue can barely be seen to be a humanoid image, but it is not difficult to see that the so-called guards of the imperial city in Morodo's mouth are far from humanoid life.

The head of the sculpture found by scholars is depicted as wearing some kind of helmet, so it is impossible to verify Sharif's real appearance.

The outer layer of the sculpture is made of a ceramic-like material, but the inner layer is a solid metal. However, after years of wind and rain corrosion, the solid metal has been covered with mottled rust, and some places seem to be broken. The sculpture can no longer be seen in its original form, only the ten-meter-high dilapidated body resembles its former majesty and majesty.

"Sharif is the symbol of the guards of the imperial city. They are placed on the periphery of the imperial city, forming a pattern of guarding the imperial city." Morodo introduced the situation of Suraka while walking.

Ma Yin smiled and said: "But obviously these guards failed to keep the imperial city in the end."

Morodo shrugged, and he climbed up a low hill. The wind and sand made it difficult for him to move, and the scholar had to open the shield of the protective suit. After a layer of transparent pale golden light passed over his body like a stream of water, the strong wind and the steel-like sand in the wind were all buffered by the shield, and the impact on Morodo was negligible.

The scholar stood on the mountain bag, stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Suraka is here."

Lucy jumped up, and the wind and sand didn't affect her at all. Seeing that she didn't even open the shield, Moruo felt a little admiration at the moment. Standing on the hillock, looking in the direction of Morodo's finger, the silhouette of a huge capital can be faintly seen in the wind and sand. Even though this imperial city has been abandoned for thousands of years, one can still feel the majestic atmosphere and the vicissitudes of time from the silhouettes of those buildings.

Under the instructions of Morodo, the team marched through a relatively flat ancient road in the imperial city, and the broken sculpture of Sharif could be seen along the way. When the team stopped, a stone bridge that had been severely eroded by wind and sand crossed the bottomless abyss hundreds of meters wide, and landed on the land on the other side.

"This used to be Suraka's moat, and we found fish-like skeletons underneath." Morodo walked up the bridge.

Lucy looked down from the side of the bridge, and the bottom was so dark that she couldn't see the bottom. From time to time, a cold wind blew from below, carrying the unique smell of the underground. She frowned and said, "This river is too deep. Bar?"

"Its lower part is connected to the underground water of Suraka. Suraka has a complete water supply system. We have used instruments to detect it. The ground at the bottom of the imperial city is simply a labyrinth." Morodo turned back: "Suraka There are underground shelters, and we have found several. The shelters look damaged, and some passages are connected to the underground labyrinth. We believe that some of the citizens of the imperial city who took refuge at that time may have fled underground. They may be the first A batch of night devils."

"And this imperial city,

There are still night devils roaming in it today. "

Halfway through the journey, a fault of tens of meters appeared on the stone bridge. Main asked Lucy to wait a while, and he finally asked the soldiers to use tractors and long cables to build a rope bridge. When they were erecting the rope bridge, Morodo walked up to Lucy and asked, "Your Highness is so knowledgeable that he even knows about places like the Zheka Temple. I heard that His Highness is studying the cosmic twilight. Could it be the twilight of this generation?" Son appeared?"

Morodo has stayed on the Eternal Night Star for many years, and he has immersed himself in research and knows little about the outside world. Coupled with the harsh environment of Yongyexing, communication is inconvenient, and the exchange of information is even less. Scholars don't know about Alan. If Lucy hadn't come, I'm afraid they won't hear about it until they return to Idahua Star.

Lucy didn't hide it from him, nodded and said: "I'm collecting all the clues about the cosmic twilight. To tell you the truth, I almost lived in the Royal Library some time ago. Among the many documents, I accidentally saw Master Gewa’s writings, he was the first person to study the imperial city Suraka. In the information he recorded, a record slate about the dusk of the universe was found in the temple of Zheka. That’s probably our Idahua star’s information about the universe. The earliest record found at dusk, but unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this earliest record slab was not brought back to our home planet. So I can only go there myself, hoping to find some useful clues.”

Morodo said in a daze, "The Son of Twilight actually appeared? I thought it was just a legend."

He shook his head and said again: "I have read the works of Master Gewa. In fact, all of us scholars who stayed in Yongyexing for research have read his works. We have not retrieved the piece of Zheka Temple. slate, I know a thing or two."

Lucy's eyes lit up: "I would like to hear more about it."

Morodo smiled bitterly and said, "I only know a general idea, but it's far from detailed. Don't be disappointed, Your Highness."

He looked at the imperial city beyond the bridge and said, "Master Gewa should be the first person to find the Zheka Temple. In fact, he was also the one who discovered the imperial city. When he discovered the imperial city, it was not what it is now. , The conditions at that time were much worse. The entire imperial city was submerged in sand, and we spent a lot of manpower and material resources to clear out a part of the imperial city."

"As for the temple, Master Gewa thought about getting back the record slate at that time. But he gave up for some reason. It is worth noting that there was a whole centurion who followed the master into the temple, but only Master Gewa Come back. I didn’t say anything about the disappearing team master, but don’t leave your own research experience, which is the book His Highness saw. After writing it, Master Gewa died suddenly, making the temple of Zheka It cast a lot of doubts. Later, other scholars wanted to continue to study the temple, but now that place has become dangerous and inaccessible. In addition, Master Gewa had left records, and at that time there was no sign of cosmic twilight , so this matter was finally shelved. Now we are more researching the imperial city Suraka, hoping to deduce the details of the fall of this civilization from the ruins found in it, and dig out the specific details about the planet's step-by-step death. Happening."

"According to what you said, there should be some kind of power in the temple to wipe out the entire team of Master Gewa. It can even affect the death of the master. This is not easy." Lucy thought for a while, and then Said: "That force prevents the master from taking the slate out, but allows the master to leave relevant records. Isn't this contradictory?"

"Who knows, these things happened a long time ago, and the specific situation has long been lost in time." Morodo shrugged.

At this moment, Ma Yin came back and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the cable bridge has been built."

Lucy nodded and said to Morodo: "Then let us find the truth by ourselves."

A starship staggered out of the high-altitude thundercloud, and the shield on the surface of the starship was crumbling. When leaving the thundercloud, an electric light whipped on the shield, and the shield finally disappeared. Part of the energy was absorbed by the shield, but the lightning whip still passed through the starship, leaving a dark trace on the outer armor. Electric fire spewed out from the gaps in the starship armor, and several black smoke slowly came out. Dragging and swaying behind the starship, like black flags.

The starship stayed in a relatively stable low altitude. In the control room, the captain Yilu hooked the side of the chair with an iron hook, rubbed his head and got up, and then shouted: "Bastard Jinka, this is what you call New shield? Damn, this bullshit shield is worse than the old one, did you bastard spend your money elsewhere!"

Spit out a string of bubbles, the Ruffian Jinka walked a few steps while holding onto the bridge guardrail, then shook his head and said: "It must be that Kidd who lied to me, but he patted his chest and told me this latest model The shield can even block the main gun of the battleship!"

"The Kids? You bought it from the Kids? How many times do I have to say that those cyborg bastards are vampires, they'll suck every drop of blood from you, you idiot!"

Hana with blonde hair and blue skin came over: "Captain, we have received a communication request from our employer."

Yiru made a gesture, Hana understood, stretched out her finger and pointed in the air, and a holographic projection appeared in front of the captain. The projection was a man, but his whole body was covered in a dark red cloak, even his head was tightly hidden, obviously he didn't want these mercenaries to know his identity.

Even the voice has been processed. When he speaks, his voice is sometimes low and sometimes hoarse: "Captain Yilu, I hope I can hear good news. Count the time, you should have found that little girl, right?"

The captain waved his hand and said, "Something went wrong, we arrived at Yongyexing much later than expected."

"How much slower?" the man asked.

"Only five hours."

"What?" The man said angrily, "Five hours, then they would have left the base long ago. Damn it, you took my deposit, if you mess it up, I want you to look good!"

"What's the hurry, as long as they haven't left Yongyexing, we will complete the mission."

The man sneered: "If you go to the base now, you will be in vain. Yong Yexing says it's not big, but it's small. It doesn't take ten days and a half months to search the entire planet. Let me ask you, do you know where the target is now?" ?"

"I don't know." The captain said as if it was a matter of course, he leaned forward slightly, and said, "Isn't it you? Since you spent so much money to hire us, you can naturally get the whereabouts of the target, right?"

The man snorted coldly, "I'll give you the coordinates of the target in five minutes. If I miss it again, I'll have to consider whether to replace it with someone else."

"Understood, my lord, we will take care of it."

At the end of the communication, Marquis Rowan looked ugly and cursed bitterly: "These idiots may not be able to ask them to do it in the first place. Damn it, if they mess up, I will definitely not spare them."

The Marquis shouted into the air: "Contact Baron Yeka, ask him to locate Marquis Marquis's starship, and then give me the coordinates."

"Yes, my lord." The artificial intelligence responded.
