Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 937 Inverted and Staggered Halls

What appeared in front of Lei Xiao and his party was a giant prayer hall of the dwarves.

The solid and heavy stone pillars propped up this long and ancient hall, causing a thick but solemn sacred atmosphere to rush towards the face.

The flower window ceiling of the hall is not the rounded arch that is common in the human nations, but the characteristics of the dwarves. It is a simple and direct square plane without any rounded corners or arcs.

These palace stained windows made of special ores, even after a long time, are still as clean as new, depicting the images of dwarves holding battle axes or forging hammers.

Rugged and delicate lines are also taken into account. Just looking at it will make people feel refreshed. It can be called a perfect painted artwork.

In stark contrast to the dwarven roof windows, there are two rows of giant statues of dwarf guardian warriors standing on the aisle in the center of the hall.

These pious statues of dwarf warriors are lifelike, with uniform movements, holding a long-handled battle ax in one hand, and a giant shield in the other, all kneeling on one knee.

The long years have caused them to be severely corroded and covered with thick floating ash, which looks mottled.

The most important thing is that compared to the nearby roof, these huge mottled statues standing on the ground are very far away from Lei Xiao and his party, making the whole scene very discordant and extremely weird.

In fact, just as Lei Xiao and his party walked out of the gate of the dungeon corridor, they stepped on the roof of the palace full of artistic sense, not on the ground of the palace.

In other words, what Lei Xiao and his party stepped into was a completely upside-down dwarven prayer hall.

This unexpected grand and ancient scene, completely contrary to common sense, caused Lei Xiao and the others to be taken aback, creating a sense of unreality as if they had passed away.

"An upside-down temple? What a weird sight."

Surprised, Ariel raised her head and waved her staff to guide the ball of light to walk among the statues of dwarf warriors hanging upside down from the ceiling. It was like lighting up lamps in a dark temple, illuminating the The way forward for a group of people.

"It's really weird, and there is an extremely discordant place."

Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and while walking in the upside-down temple, he nodded thoughtfully: "The prayer hall is the most devout place, and the upside-down temple can't be intentional by the dwarves. Add that incongruity, and it becomes very clear."

"What the lord said is very true. In this way, the reason why this place is a strange upside-down scene is only one possibility."

Hong Ye's slender fingers lightly brushed across her white chin, and immediately understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.

"My lord, what is going on here?"

Ariel leaned forward, her delicate face was full of puzzlement, obviously she hadn't reacted yet.

"Then let's talk about the disharmony first. In fact, this is the most obvious point."

Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly forward, and while signaling the team to start moving forward, he nodded to Ariel and said, "The last step we were in was the gloomy dungeon just now, and the next step is to step into this upside-down dungeon." Temple, the answer is self-evident."

"So it is!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's prompt, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood: "The dwarves have always been known for their integrity and stubbornness. How could it be possible to build a sacred palace and a dungeon filled with death? The two It’s almost like they were forcibly pieced together, this is where the disharmony is!"

"Yes."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and continued to guide Ariel's thoughts: "We have explored so many ruins along the way, and we have also mastered some mysterious effects left over from the blank era, and one of them can perfectly explain all of this."

"It's the 'misplaced thing' effect! "

Ariel had already fully reacted, and immediately took over the conversation: "The reason why these two dwarf ruins that I don't want to do at all appear under the castle is because they didn't exist here in the first place!"

"In this way, this upside-down temple can be explained clearly."

Lei Xiao stepped through a flower window on the roof of a palace and lightly snapped his fingers.

"Since the "misplaced thing" can appear in a place that does not belong to itself, it is a reasonable thing for it to be upside down during the process of being moved by some mysterious force. "

Hearing Lei Xiao's summary, all the subordinates nodded their heads, apparently fully understanding everything in front of them.

"'Misplaced thing'?He's just a despicable outsider, but he didn't expect to know a lot! "

Han Shui's disdainful voice rang out with great interest, "This is something that my Shanglu family has not figured out for more than six hundred years, and it can be regarded as an unexpected harvest."

"Before this, I have been wondering about a question."

Lei Xiao ignored Han Shui's words, and continued to his subordinates: "That is, we have explored so many ancient ruins of different races in the land of Lengyan Kingdom, and they are too close to each other. It's in line with common sense."

"That's true, especially the buildings of the dwarves. Although they are found all over the Lengyan Kingdom, they are often of extremely limited scale, which has always puzzled the archaeologists of the royal family."

Ariel followed closely beside Lei Xiao, and echoed, "From this point of view, there must be a lot of "misplaced things" in it. "

Speaking of this point, Ariel's fair face could not help but a hint of doubt emerged again, and she asked in confusion: "Who caused all this? What's the point of doing this? More precisely, it's not at all. It’s not something human can do.”

"It's still unknown, the only thing we can confirm is that the "misplaced objects" are the same as the "lost relics", both of which are mysterious effects left over from the blank era. "

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, nodded to Ariel and the surrounding subordinates, and said, "Although we have figured out the reason for this inverted palace, the magic trap inside still exists, so be careful to explore it." .”

"Hehe, he is really a cautious guy."

Han Shui's disdainful and sly voice began to echo in the huge temple again.

"May I tell you that this temple of the dwarves is a treasure. Naturally, our Shanglu family will not destroy it at will, so this is the safest place in this trial ground. All the traps have been cleared. You can Walk with confidence."

In Han Shui's words, there was a bit more austere, playful taste: "But at the end of the temple, your time of death will really come, and there is another interesting scene that people didn't expect."

"Although there are no other people in this temple, why are there always flies hovering around my ears?"

Naturally, Lei Xiao would not listen to what the other party said, and nodded to signal his subordinates to proceed cautiously.

The uniform footsteps of a group of six people rippling back and forth in the upside-down dwarven prayer hall, bringing a long-lost vitality to this lost ancient temple.

In the process of advancing, Lei Xiao noticed further.

This hall is extremely grand, and I am afraid that it can gather at least one hundred thousand dwarves to pray and sing at the same time, which is evident from this.

But it can't help but make people sigh that such an amazing and huge building was finally buried in the torrent of time and space, losing its original function.

And its former owners, the dwarves who built this temple, probably have already been annihilated in the blank age, and ceased to exist 3000 years ago.

In addition, as Han Shui said, there are indeed no other magic traps found here, only all the upside-down majestic scenes constantly stimulate the senses and nerves of the group.

"I'm afraid there is no real reason why there are no magic traps here. It's just that the magic traps are concentrated on the real ground of the high ceiling. Even the Shanglu clan can't hang them upside down and transform them."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.

Not long after, Lei Xiao and his party finally came to the end of this lost temple of the dwarves, stepping on the dust and emotion.

Accompanied by the dazzling light ball commanded by Ariel, it flew past the front at extremely high speed, and the scene in front once again caused Lei Xiao and others to look surprised.

At the end of the temple where light and shadow meet, there is a giant dwarf statue hanging upside down. The thick and burly body and the thick wire beard are very conspicuous. The calm expression and the forging hammer in the hand show that this statue A god skilled in forging.

Under the reflection of the guiding light sphere, the thick and thin engraved lines of the dwarves made the sharp-edged statues come alive, as if they would turn over at any time and stand on the ground again.

These are not the most surprising places.

Under the hanging dwarven god statue, there is actually another statue of a goddess of the same size standing on its back.

The figure of this goddess is slender, and the carving techniques used are obviously much more delicate than the statues of the dwarves. Although I can only look up to half of the profile, I can already see that it is perfect.

Putting it together with the statue of the dwarf god hanging upside down above the head, it looks like Beauty and the Beast.

In the hand of the goddess statue is a gorgeous oil lamp, as if it is illuminating everything around it.

However, the huge body of the goddess standing upright at a 45-degree angle gave people a very strange feeling, as if she would lie down on the ground at any time and fall into pieces on the ground.

All in all, this sudden oblique goddess statue is completely different from the dwarf gods that originally existed here, and it is obviously not from the same style of craftsmen.

"It's such an obtrusive statue of a slanting goddess, and its posture is even more weird."

Ariel opened her starry eyes wide, with a look of astonishment on her face, and blurted out: "This goddess statue obviously shouldn't appear in this dwarf temple!"

"It is indeed the case. Whether it is the carving technique or the characters portrayed, they are not dwarves, but more like a humanoid race."

Jiang Li's eyes moved, wandering back and forth in the part where the racial characteristics of the goddess statue might appear.

But since the head scarf of the goddess statue covers the ears, it is impossible to tell the difference.

"My lord, look quickly!"

A rough voice sounded, and I saw that the knotweed had come under the goddess statue, and raised his finger to point directly in front of the goddess statue.

Hearing the sound of the knotweed, Ariel's guiding light sphere flew in that direction, illuminating another vast space.

At this point, Lei Xiao and his party found out.

Although this is the end of the Dwarves' Upside Down Temple, it is not the end of the road.

Right in front of the weird goddess statue, there is actually a 45-angle slope that goes straight up, leading to an unknown dark zone.

"This seems to be another temple."

As the ball of light flew into the darkness, Ariel's fair face had a look of sudden enlightenment.

"It turns out that the "misplaced things" here are not just the dwarves' upside-down temple and the dungeon just now, but also this temple of an unknown race! "

"Furthermore, the front ends of the two temples are overlapped, and the direction is also deviated. This is why there is a weird scene of standing upside down and standing upside down!"

After Ariel finished speaking, everyone else, including Lei Xiao, suddenly became enlightened.

"The two temples that were originally not connected, because of the effect of "misplaced objects", are they finally connected in this posture? "

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, his face full of surprise: "It's really an unexpected sight, and who would have thought that there are actually two temples of different races hidden under the castle of the owner of the Shanglu family."

It is conceivable that some extremely impressive secret treasures must be hidden in it at the beginning.

I'm afraid this is the reason why the Shanglu family was able to quickly rise in the Lengyan Kingdom at the beginning, and finally became one of the three giants of Lengyan. This is simply the start-up capital given by God.

"I'm not interested in those ordinary treasures. If there are items similar to the "Key of Truth" in these two temples, they should still be treasured in the Shanglu family's treasury. "

"At that time, as long as Lin successfully ascends to the throne of Patriarch, everything will be mine."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.

"But which race's goddess statue is this?"

Ariel looked up at the huge standing statue, and couldn't help frowning tightly.

Ariel clearly understands that only by knowing the master of this brand new temple can she use its racial characteristics to better solve the upcoming magic traps.

After all, judging from Han Shui's words just now, this sudden unknown temple is the real murderous intention.

"The goddess does not reveal any racial characteristics, and it is difficult to speculate at this time."

Jiang Li and Hong Ye looked at each other, and after seeing a trace of confusion in each other's star pupils, they shook their heads helplessly.

"Since there is no way to find out the owner of the temple, the only way before us is to move on. There must be more clues in this unknown temple."

Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates, waved his hand and said, "Under Han Shui's schemes, Keen and the others outside must not be able to hold on for too long. We must race against time."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the subordinates cheered up and started thinking about the brand new temple.

Although it is a slope all the way up here, for Lei Xiao and other strong people, it is naturally no different from walking on flat ground.

However, not long after Lei Xiao left, he found that the atmosphere around him seemed to have become strange.
