The Whispering Verses Chapter 1488: The center of the earth
Chapter 1488 The Center of the Earth
The stranger sighed. He felt that his biggest feeling during his adventure in the first three months of 1854 was not that he knew the power of the earth, but that he understood love and marriage.
When foreigners are in their hometown, they don’t even know what love is, let alone getting married. After coming to this world, he understood love under the guidance of Luvia. And I saw so many stories in the Randall River Valley, and at the end, I met my first friends again. He had many things to say to Luvia, to Dorothy, to Lesia. By the end of the night, he wanted to go see the sunset with them and talk about the meaning of life.
Of course, we should wait until we have free time to think about the meaning of life and feelings about love. At this time, there is no extra time for Xia De to waste.
Except for the astonishingly large coffin and stone tablet in the center of the entire main tomb, the only remaining movable item is the key placed in the center of the top of the coffin.
Since Sister St. Perry said that Mr. Lyman left a gift to Shade, it must be this key.
After picking up the ordinary-looking stone key, Shade almost immediately noticed a keyhole on the wall opposite the entrance to the tomb.
It is quite strange to say that with Shade and Iluna's perception ability, it is impossible not to detect the abnormal keyhole in such a relatively small space. But it was only when Shade picked up the key that he could feel the existence of the keyhole.
Not only that, when Shade touched the key itself, he also felt that this ordinary stone key was also confirming himself.
[If you are not the one who touches the key, the key will not have any power. This is a special item created by relying on the magic of the Butterfly God. 】
"She" reminded softly, and Shade immediately thought that only the power of the old gods who were proficient in illusions could perfectly hide the keyhole.
So Shade and Iluna went to the deepest part of the tomb and inserted the key into the keyhole. After a click, a door popped open in the wall.
The space behind the door is not very large. It looks like a naturally formed underground cave. The only thing in the cave is a spring filled with black mud.
"This is."
The girl with long brown hair was startled and hurriedly pulled Shade back a step:
"Crazy Earth? No, the power is stronger than any other Crazy Earth we have encountered. Is this the entrance to the Heart of the Earth?"
Eluna keenly sensed the most original power of the earth. When she even took the initiative to listen, she once again heard the irregular and huge heartbeat that could only be heard in a deep meditation state.
"It seems as I thought. Before his death, Mr. Lyman and his wife made their cemetery the only guardian of the physical world's normal entrance to the Heart of the Earth."
Feeling the vague attraction of divinity, he looked back at the sarcophagus:
"Is this a gift? If I hadn't come here in person, I'm afraid the intruder would have to face more than just illusions."
Eluna immediately thought of the scene of the coffin exploding and undead creatures jumping out of it, and she frowned slightly:
"Judging from your last description of the stone mirror demon Goethe, its combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the guardian. I am afraid that for so many years, I have never faced the guardian head-on, not only because I prefer to play conspiracies, but also because I prefer to play conspiracies. Because of the only entrance, even it cannot be safely entered.
Yes, for so many years, the legend of the Heart of the Earth in Randall Valley has been circulating. The location of the Night Temple is not very hidden. The way to enter here is to reach the top of the mountain, and it is not completely impossible to find it. But from I have never heard of anyone entering, and even the guardians are not sure that they can pass here safely. ”
"If you explain it this way, it makes sense that the crazy land in the cave was not solved by the guardians when Miss Benanis and I first came. They usually don't rely on this at all. Passage to and from the heart of the earth."
Xia De said.
Eluna also looked at the coffin with great admiration:
"Although it relied on the power of the old gods, this matter was, after all, led by an ordinary man in the Fifth Era. It is really amazing. If his deeds can be known to people, our church will at least give him a death. The honor of later canonization.”
"The God of Butterflies, Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterflies."
Xia De thought more. It was obvious that the power of the old **** was inextricably related to the ancient **** [Earth Mother Goddess]. But it happened that her dependents followed the man back to the material world, and it happened that after her death, her dependents became the guardians of the Heart of the Earth.
It is difficult to say whether there is a possibility of deliberate arrangement by God. But if you think about it this way, a series of events in the Fifth Age [Worm Cave] had a different meaning from the beginning. Therefore, Shade did not intend to consider this possibility, because even if the guess was verified, it would not cause any Impact.
"The message Luvia gave me didn't make it clear, but can we really enter here with just the two of us?"
Eluna asked worriedly, naturally because of what the black mud represented:
"If it's not enough for the two of us to enter, then you can go alone and I'll wait here? Mang? You don't have to worry about me."
"It seems that Luvia didn't tell you what I gained in the fifth era."
As he spoke, Shade took out the stone box he carried with him. After opening it, the black stone was trembling slightly.
"It senses the essence of the Heart of the Earth. This stone is much more useful than the stones we each hold."
"This is. Oh, you actually got this! Not long ago, Mr. Granger told me that the fragments of the Heart of the Earth are difficult to collect. Look, the church also gave me a small fragment, small The fragments did not notice the heart of the earth."
Eluna said, taking out the small bottle containing the stone. Shade also had a smaller fragment in his hand, which was given to him by the Guardian.
"So, the church wants you to master the power of the earth?"
Shad asked, Iluna nodded sadly:
"Yes, but unfortunately I don't seem to have much talent."
"She" seemed to smile in Shade's ear.
"However, the power of the fragments of the Heart of the Earth can cure the symptoms of petrification caused by the filth flowing from the earth. It is the same as the elixir made with your Holy Grail, but it requires permanent consumption of the fragments. Strength."
Eluna carefully collected her fragments:
"So when the Holy See gave me the fragment, it also meant giving me a chance."
"Since small fragments cannot trigger the power of the earth, what about large fragments?"
Shad asked again, gesturing to Eluna to touch the black stone in the stone box. Iluna then reached out and touched it. At the moment of contact, golden light burst out from her fingertips and the surface of the stone. Unfortunately, Iluna still failed to break through herself:
"It still feels a little worse, but the power contained in these fragments is indeed not comparable to that of small stones."
"That's why I asked Luvia to inform you to come here too."
As he spoke, Shade stretched out his hand to her:
"Let's go together. The power of this stone is beyond my imagination. It can protect more than just me."
"Okay then."
The two held hands together, and then jumped into the dark spring together.
Shad has had the experience of jumping into black mud before, but this time he did not encounter the same feeling of darkness and suffocation last time. He and Iluna grabbed the black stone at the same time, and the stone began to emit a dazzling golden light after they were stained with black mud.
Not only that, when the two people completely entered the black mud, the stone became heavier and heavier, so that the two people holding the stone gradually seemed to be dragged downwards by the stone.
The golden transparent shield repels the black mud around it, protecting the sinking two people. In the process of sinking, Shade's spatial perception told him that they were not going downward in a spatial sense, but passing through a special environment that could not be explained by his current knowledge. They were moving in the same direction as in space. Move deeper into the center of the earth.
The whole process didn't take long, not even a minute. The two people, keeping their heads down, feet up, and holding the heavy stone with both hands, saw the fiery red light appearing deeper.
Xia De's desire for divinity had now reached a level that was almost beyond his control. He knew what he wanted was right ahead.
The fiery red light got bigger and bigger, and after breaking through that layer of light, the two people who fell from the sky fell together on the hot and hard ground.
"Oh!"
Eluna covered her head and supported the ground to stand up, but immediately felt that her hands were almost burned.
He and Shade helped each other stand up, and then looked at the scene in front of them in surprise with him.
To put it simply, this is a magma lake in the center of the earth.
The top of the head is a dark rock formation with stalactites hanging upside down, and in front of it is a completely enclosed magma lake in the center of the earth. The magma lake is surrounded by a circle of standing stones about ten meters above the magma level. This is also where Shade and Iluna appeared.
Fiery red magma, or a substance that looks like magma, is surging in the lake in the center of the earth, and the high heat it brings is constantly impacting the two people wearing winter clothes.
The loud noises shocked the soul, and the strange fiery red light made the eyes and brain feel uncomfortable at the same time.
Beyond vision and hearing, what had a more serious impact on Shade and Iluna was the power of the magma lake itself. Just feeling that ancient and stable power with your heart makes your whole body feel like it's about to turn into stone. The scenery created by ancient power and natural power makes the mortal body instinctively want to prostrate and worship.
