Despite the best efforts of the elders of the tribe to maintain the history and culture of the world, there are still some ancient legends in this world that have been completely forgotten by the world.Just as people have forgotten the true meaning of the pyramid complex of Dorasir, the other world above the zenith, and the real reason for the end of the solar dynasty, they have forgotten everything about the "capital of the end, Sirador".This is a myth that has been lost to history: buried beneath the Sun King Dorassil, there is a dark city shrouded in darkness, which is a mirror image of Dorassil's underworld, known as "Sirador".This city of shadows has been hidden beneath layers of rock and steel since its founding, and is encased in a thick protective shell that permeates the blood and spirit of the ancient sages, allowing everything that sleeps in the last city of Sirador to sleep forever.Far from the forbidden land of the world, huge houses without doors and windows can be seen everywhere, these huge stones are quarried from the darkest and hottest underground, containing the powerful primordial power of the goddess, they are surrounded by the never-ending power of thunder, leaving the capital of the end in a constant state of recharge.In the middle of the city is a primitive cave known as the "Toka's Throat".Toka, the king of giants, is a hunchbacked old man who carries the whole world according to local legend, and he is ordered to look after the goddess's garden, but he destroys the goddess's garden due to his irascible personality.As punishment, the goddess commanded Toka to carry the newly created world on his back and never lie down to rest or shake it off.But Toka's irascible personality is difficult to control, and he only agrees to carry the world in fear of the goddess, and this terrifying king of giants is always looking for an opportunity to shake off his burdens.The wise goddess discovered this, so she asked the ancient human sages to build a city in the depths of the world, named it "Silador" herself, and laid down seventy-seven nails made of thunder boulders in Syrador, and the nails suppressed Toka's nerves, causing the irascible king of giants to fall into a long period of trouble, and the whole world ushered in stability.Now Hao Ren and the others are standing in front of the "City of the End, Silador", and the huge stone pillars that burst out with powerful electric light in front of them are the legendary "Seventy-Seven Divine Nails", and the big hollow in the center of the city is the "Toka's Throat", and the tentacles extending from the cave are the "nerves of the Giant King" mentioned in the mythological story.It's a real mythical city, but unfortunately no one knows about it anymore.If Hao Ren and the others could hear that legend, they might be able to deduce a lot of useful information, but unfortunately this ancient story was cut off thousands of years ago when a certain tribe was hit by a plague.No one knows the myth of this underground city, and explorers who rush into it can only stare at the majestic spectacle and speculate on the role of the electrocuting stone pillars in the entire system.Hao Ren was not surprised by those tentacles, and he was even a little relieved when he saw those things: he had long known that the world was built on the basis of the eldest son, and seeing the traces of the eldest son at this time was just a progress in things for him.He looked around, and found a downward ramp at the edge of the platform that led to the strange city.He led the party towards the city, and Geisel followed with his sword clenched in hand.Bernia glanced at the tentacled cave surrounded by thunder before she followed, and the little saint was so frightened that she swallowed hard, whispered a prayer, and hurried to follow Vivien's figure: being by the latter's side would give her peace of mind.The data terminal floated in the air, testing the energy response of the boulder pillars as it went: "All the stones resonate with each other, it's a whole system, and the whole city runs like a computer."
I don't know how long the discharge reaction has been going on, and it seems to be the tentacles that come from the source of its energy. ”Hao Ren thought for a moment: "The eldest son gives energy to the city, and then in turn the city uses electric shocks to stimulate those tentacles?"
”"It's not a stimulus, it's a lullaby," a holographic projection appears above the terminal, showing a three-dimensional model of the entire city, and you can see circles of blue waves around the large hollow in the center of the city, and those waves are the electric light released by the seventy-seven boulder pillars, and with these blue light surges, the electrical signal in the firstborn's tentacles is also suppressed to a very low level, "These things suppress the activity of the firstborn." ”"Just these stones?"
Hao Ren's eyes widened, he knew how big the eldest son on this planet was - this was a real adult individual, and the three little tentacle monsters on the planet Holleta were not comparable to it at all, "Ancient people have such a clever ability?"
”"So there must be some other force that is helping, and these tentacles also seem to be actively cooperating with the suppression in the first place," the data terminal pointed to the huge stone pillars, "these things alone can't suppress the big guys underground." ”The team reached the depths of the city, close to the most electric boulder pillars, the crackling of electricity creating an unsettling atmosphere, and the smell of ionized air in the air.However, Hao Ren noticed that the electricity on the boulder pillars was controlled: they only jumped and passed at a height of more than ten meters above the ground, and it seemed that there was no need to worry about them suddenly splitting down.Nangong May changed into a water snake form, using water mist to create a huge semicircular cover around everyone, so that even if there was an electric light splitting down, it could be transmitted to the ground along the water shield.While maintaining this barrier, she looked up at the dark boulder buildings in all directions with a little worry: "I don't know what's going on......
I always felt like someone was staring at me. ”"I feel a little bit of that, too," Hao Ren frowned, "and it seems that there is a line of sight in all directions. ”Hearing this, Lily immediately widened her eyes and looked around, she also wanted to try if her psychic eyes could play a role, but it was obvious that it was not an ordinary ghost entrenched here, she stared around and didn't find anything, so she had to flick her tail: "I didn't see it......
But I don't like this place, there's static everywhere, you see what my tail has become. ”Hao Ren took a look and saw that Lily's tail had swelled twice as much: it was caused by static electricity in the air.Then they passed a large stone slab that stood in front of the path leading to the central cavern, and on which were inscribed the ancient characters of this world.Nangong Sanba read it out: "Toka's throat......
What does it mean?
”"It must have something to do with the giants who carry the world on their backs," replied Geisel, "but the city is lost, and I have not heard of it." ”Bernia's eyes widened at the bright arcs of electricity, her curiosity and attention drawn to the wondrous sight of the city.In the midst of those arc jumps, she seemed to faintly see figures flying around in the air.The little saintess looked at these things with great interest, and her ears moved slightly: "Goddess, they are singing~~" Vivian was stunned: "Singing?"
Who's singing?
”Bernia stretched out her finger and said, "It's all over the place, a lot of people are singing to the hole in front of them." ”Hao Ren didn't let go of the little girl's words, but he couldn't find the "many people" in Bernia's mouth after looking around, and he realized that this was similar to the situation in the ghost town of Domir at the time: "I'm afraid it's a spirit that only she can see." ”"Listen to what they're singing and saying," Vivien told Bernia, "but don't just follow them."
Those should be ancient spirits, they don't necessarily have malicious intentions, but the places they are going to are definitely not what you can't go. ”Bernia nodded incomprehensibly, "Oh." ”They came to the great crater known as the "Toka's Throat", where the ground was almost completely covered with the tentacles of the eldest son.Countless huge black tendrils stretched out from the ground and poked out into the surrounding pillars of electric light, and there was a faint glow of electricity floating on the roots.Hao Ren cautiously came to the edge of the pit, and when he looked down, he could only see a bottomless chaotic darkness, and a faint red light in the darkness: it was either lava or some large organ of the eldest son.The data terminal examined and found that the tentacles were highly active, but still did not detect the apparent neural activity of the firstborn: everything was suppressed by the surrounding pillars of electromorphic stone, which slept as if they were dead.After Hao Ren sent back the preliminary data of the cave as usual, the data terminal suddenly whistled: "Huh-partner, it seems that you have the answer to your original question: the question of the energy source of this planet's ecosystem has been clarified." ”Hao Ren was immediately interested: "Where did it come from?"
”"The firstborn is devouring the planet itself."
