That's the real reason why the Lost City of Artos is what it is today.It's not that Vivien has lost her memory of the city, it's that she's never been here at all—it's her Evil Mind clone who dominates the city, and it's the same Evil Mind that destroys it and pushes it into another dimension.Everything was beyond Hao Ren's conjecture at the beginning, and even completely beyond his previous concept of the special existence of "evil thought body".It turns out that there is such a special individual in the evil thought body?
But there were still many questions that could not be clarified, so in the end he forcibly suppressed all the speculation and confusion in his mind, and continued to ask what happened after that, because judging by the current state of the Colossus and the Spirit of Ertos, there must have been something else going on here after the city fell into another dimension."
What about after the city falls into another dimension?"
He mentally asked Ertos, "What have you been through?"
”"The moment the city fell into another dimension, the last surviving resisters in the city also died in the space-time shock, and after that, the 'Juggernaut' stood on the top of the pyramid of the Great Temple for a long time, I think it was at least a few hundred years......
I couldn't understand what she was thinking, or maybe she wasn't thinking about anything at all, and in that process, I was slowly stabilizing my injuries. ”"Injuries?"
Lily blinked, "What injury?"
”"You don't think I'll be safe when the moonlight comes everywhere, do you?"
Ertos' voice was a little helpless, "Even the spirits of the Chaos Wanderers can't resist that strange red moon......
I don't know what it was, but its glow nearly tore my soul apart, and the damage continued hundreds of years after the city was thrown into another dimension.I thought it would last forever, but when the moonlight in the city finally faded, I was able to recover. ”Lily asked curiously, "And what about the 'Juggernaut'?"
How did she go back to the pyramids?
”"I don't know, but the power of the 'Domination' has been declining ever since the city fell into another dimension, and I can feel it even though I'm just a spirit.She stood on the pyramid for a long time, until the power of the moonlight faded for the most part, and then she returned to the Great Temple without warning, and fell into a deep sleep herself—all the while I never understood what kind of logic she was following in her actions. ”"Actually, she really doesn't have logic," Vivien shook her head with a wry smile, "at least after she starts going crazy, she won't have logic anymore." ”Itzax thought for a moment, guessed and asked, "You took over the remaining gargoyles here after the 'Juggernaut' fell asleep?"
”"That's my limb," replied Aertos, "they [in this case, the inhabitants of the city] cut my armor and bones and made them into all sorts of things, including gargoyles, but that didn't matter to the Chaos Wanderers, I only lent them them for the time being—and when the people of the city died, I took it all back......"
As Ertos' words fell, the colossi that stood silently suddenly moved again, and they turned around with a thud, began to line up in a neat phalanx - the moment he saw the gargoyle move, he exploded, meowed, jumped up half a meter high, and then hunched over and whispered in a low demonstration while rubbing small steps to hide behind Hao Ren: the cat girl was frightened by these stone bumps.And Hao Ren had already vaguely figured out the joints at this time: "So these gargoyles are not guarding that 'master' at all......
In fact, you're 'watching' her!?
”"I can't talk about guarding it yet, I know the power of these gargoyles, if the master wakes up, these gargoyles can't stop her at all, I'm just monitoring this place to prevent anyone from straying into this alien space and waking up the sleepers in the Great Temple - in the past long years, such things have happened more than once, the alien space will always be linked to the main material world for various reasons, and once a reckless adventurer enters the Grand Temple, it may cause unpredictable consequences, I remember that the last people who broke in were even standing at the foot of the steps of the Great Temple, they were just a bunch of humans, but they had incredible weapons and tenacious fighting spirit......
But luckily I managed to stop them. ”As Ertos' words fell, Hao Ren saw a gargoyle emerge from the back of the group, the gargoyle spreading his massive palms, and twisted metal shards and tattered uniforms slipped between his fingers."
Team Eng," Vivien judged with just one glance, "World War II uniforms." ”"There are countless mysterious incidents of the disappearance of armies in history, and half of them have unfortunately fallen into another dimension," Hethiana shook her head and sighed, "These alien spaces are all left over from the mythological era, and they are still harmful to this day." ”Hao Ren also sighed, but he also admitted that Ertos's disposal had no choice: his party had proved that Ertos's worries were correct, and outsiders entering the Great Temple would really wake up the sleeping master, and if it was not a group of supermen but a group of ordinary adventurers who woke up the "master" today, then the consequences would really be unimaginable.Since that Divine Evil Mind Body has the ability to throw this city into another dimension, then she must also have the ability to return herself to the main material world!
Vivien looked up at the sky, her expression a little crying and laughing, "That's why you sent gargoyles to fight us before......"
"I was just trying to prevent you from going to the Grand Temple," Ertos said slowly, "but I didn't expect you to go straight to the temple instead." ”"This is the difference between non-professional and professional troublemakers," Hao Ren spread his hands, "Our group of people are professional in doing things." ”Everyone: "......"
Heatherian stepped back quietly: "Just say it, don't take me with you." ”"No wonder your gargoyle will stay away from the Great Temple as much as possible no matter how much trouble you make, it turns out that it is to prevent waking up the monsters inside," Hao Ren smacked his lips and shook his head, "And after we entered the Great Temple, you let the stone statue stop outside, that probably means giving up healing, right?"
Anyway, if you tell us in this case, it's not like you can't communicate with people - just send a group of gargoyles to fight you, and normal people will resist, okay?
Look at it now, we blew up a bunch of your colossus, and you kicked and injured my cat, and the losses on both sides are not small. ”rolled over and rubbed Hao Ren's arm, muttering, "Big cat, I don't hurt anymore." ”Otos's helpless voice sounded in everyone's minds: "It's not that I don't want to communicate with you, but this communication is more likely to awaken the sleeping 'master'.In fact, if you hadn't succeeded in destroying the Juggernaut, I would never have spoken again. ”"Spiritual exchange will awaken the Juggernaut?"
Hao Ren felt as if he had come into contact with another piece of information about the evil thought body, "Something like this has happened before?"
”"Psychic communication itself will not wake her up, but it is dangerous to mention her in the process of psychic communication, she is still watching the city in her sleep, there are too many opportunities to wake her up," Ertos's tone sighed, "And in addition to this risk, many times the guys who break into this place also have unpredictable behavior patterns, and communicating with them will bring more uncontrollable factors, and a group of fleeing wizards have learned about it."
I couldn't understand the tendency to destroy themselves, nor the strange way of thinking of those strange 'little creatures', so I simply stopped communicating with them.Until you appeared, you were an absolute surprise. ”"yes, after all, we didn't just wake her up, we killed her," Hao Ren shrugged, "All in all, we've figured out the ins and outs of the city, but I still have a lot of curiosity about that 'juggernaut'.Do you know where she came from in the first place?
”"I had a few conversations with Juggernaut before she went completely mad," Ertos said slowly, "but she never mentioned where she came from.She just said that she was wandering the Great Plains, aimless and directionless, and she didn't know her name or race, or even where she was originally from.And her mental state was strange from the start, even when she was more 'sane', her thoughts were often interrupted, or she fell into an eerily long silence, sometimes she would immediately stop a topic and start a completely new topic that was incomprehensible, but more often she was just talking to herself......
Sorry, I don't think I can help you with that either. ”Hao Ren himself didn't have much hope for this - every evil thought body was mysterious and incomprehensible, and even Vivien herself didn't know when and where she split the evil thought body, and it was a miracle that the "Great Master" of Atos City had a period of "sobriety" to communicate with, and he couldn't expect much from it.However, just as he had given up learning more about the "Great Juggernaut" from Ertos, the other party suddenly spoke again: "Although I don't know the origin of the 'Juggernaut', she has left something behind, and I think you will be interested." ”"Something?"
Vivien instantly refreshed, "What's that?"
”"It's a gem that she gave to the city's high priest after an intermittent slumber awakening, and if I'm not mistaken, the gem should still be in the place where it was sealed."
Hao Ren and Vivien couldn't help but glance at each other, and then each saw the other's thoughtful looks.
