Chapter 3969 The Song of the Purple Moon (20)
The space where the dilapidated temple is located seems to be a closed, special space.
After initially confirming his surroundings, Gerdov immediately tried to break through the enclosed environment... but he couldn't break through it for a while.
The enclosed structure of this temple space was much more robust than he had imagined.
"So that's how it is... This is the power of the Sea God..."
As a god who was quite famous in the Old Gods era, and whose divine power even extended to the Void Sea, Gazef had to admit that he seemed to have underestimated this fallen sea god.
However, it's unrealistic to think that the residual power of a fallen god could trap him, one of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation; it would simply take a little more time.
At this moment, Gerdav became more interested in another group that had also entered the temple space.
“With Eva outside, there shouldn’t be any problem…” Gazef’s gaze narrowed slightly. He didn’t release his senses, but simply used his eyesight to watch the giant sand serpent move forward from afar, and said with a light laugh, “Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains here.”
……
"This should be the temple of Kalithorpe."
On the giant sand serpent, [Golden] Shak, with his arms crossed, looked back and forth across the road... What he was observing were some broken stone tablets on both sides of the road, and houses that had collapsed to the point that only the foundations remained.
“Brother, look, the inscriptions on these stone tablets seem to record some of the deeds of the Sea God.” [Golden] Shak pointed to a relatively intact stone tablet, causing the giant python to pause. “This records the war between the Sea God and an evil god… Hmm… It mentions the [Old Ones] or something… Could it be those disgusting guys from the [Fantasy Side]?”
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Captain Luo, looked at Golden Shaq in surprise.
This left Shaq completely bewildered, and he even began to doubt, "...What, am I wrong?"
Captain Luo shook his head and said, "Brother Shak can understand these ancient characters?"
[Gold] Shaq said with a smile, "I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I can understand some of it... After all, it concerns the [Sea God] treasure, so I've studied the script used in the time of Kalythorpe. It's just a pity that there's so little information left, so I've only learned a little bit in a short time."
"You're quite eager to learn, Brother Shak." Captain [Lo] smiled slightly. "I can't understand these inscriptions for the time being either. I'll have to rely on your interpretation from now on."
"I will handle it!"
[Gold] Shaq chuckled and continued searching for useful information on the broken stone tablet... Now that they had even found the [Sea God's] hidden temple, the [Sea God's] treasure was probably not far away, right?
Right now, Shaq is incredibly motivated!
At this moment, Ah Xi Ruo stared at [Golden] Shaq with a strange expression... I can't tell, this [Golden] Shaq.
—Indeed, the prejudice in my heart was really...
“However, judging from the situation here, it seems that a disaster has occurred?” Ah Xi Ruo pondered. “This doesn’t seem like something that could be caused by natural weathering and collapse.”
"Perhaps it's related to the disaster that the [Laurel] tribe suffered back then," [Gold] Shak casually said. "In that case, could it be that this temple space is based in that so-called [Black and White Abyss]?"
Ah Xiruo shrugged and gave her a look that said, "How would I know?"
“There are very few inscriptions here that are legible.” [Gold] Shaq then urged the Sand Serpent to accelerate. “Let’s go straight into the temple. There’s no need to waste time here… There’s no danger ahead.”
The sandmen he summoned had clearly scouted ahead.
……
Gerdrey arrived at a stone tablet that was only half intact, and pondered for a moment before reaching out to touch the inscriptions on it.
"It's script from the [magic side] of the Old Gods era..."
However, it wasn't the common magical script of that era; it was probably a lesser language—that was about all Gazef knew about it. Perhaps the other one of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation, the one nicknamed "Scholar," would be able to decipher it perfectly.
As for Eva, forget about her. That guy is a Berserker. Don't let his good looks fool you; all he thinks about is muscles.
"Is this the wreckage of the [Moonlight] turret?"
Soon, Gazef was drawn to the completely destroyed defense systems in the streets of the miniature city beneath the temple.
It seems that what the high priest of the [Laurel] tribe said—that at least the [Moonlight Cannon] was dug out from here—was true.
……
"Let's just go in; there's no danger inside the temple."
The Sand Serpent slowly lowered its head at the entrance of the temple, and everyone stepped down one by one. Even so, [Gold] Shaq still cast a sand shield on all of his allies.
He glanced down at the animal hide map, but there was still no new information displayed.
The temple's condition was actually quite poor, and we found very little information as we walked in... The only relatively intact part was a corridor with many murals and texts on the walls.
However, it only records the growth process of "Sea God" Kalithorpe. According to "Golden" Shaq, what is recorded here is similar to the legends of "Sea God" outside.
"Speaking of which, in the legends about the Sea God, have you ever heard the story of the deep love between Kalithorpe and Davy Jones?" Golden Shaq suddenly asked.
—This seems to be an attempt to liven up the somewhat somber atmosphere.
"【Davy Jones】?" Captain Locke blinked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"【Davy Jones】, a legend among legends, the captain of the legendary ghost ship 【Flying Dutchman】!" 【Gold】Shaq chuckled. "He was a Void Pirate who was already famous in the Old Gods era, older than the current 【Nine Pirate Kings】! The current Pirate Alliance headquarters' history is nothing compared to his!"
"A ghost ship?" Ah Xiruo paused, then subconsciously said, "I don't think ghosts are anything special in the void, right? Could it be that the immortal beings in the void are afraid of spirits?"
“Of course I’m not afraid of spirits.” [Gold] Shaq chuckled. “Apart from the kind of [ghosts] on the [fantasy side], ghosts are indeed nothing to be afraid of. However, the [Flying Dutchman] is no ordinary ghost. [Davy Jones] is said to be immortal, and it seems that he became a special [lich] for some reason... Once a stranger is trapped in the [Flying Dutchman], he can only stay on the ship and serve forever, unable to escape the bondage of this ghost ship for all eternity, until he finally becomes a part of the ghost ship.”
Ah Xiruo still didn't feel much—mainly because it touched on a blind spot in her knowledge.
She asked curiously, "You're saying that the captain of the Sea God and the ghost ship are lovers?"
"Hmm... to be precise, it should be a rather clichéd love triangle, right?" [Gold] Shaq rubbed his chin. "Legend has it that [Davies Jones] already had a lover, but [Sea God] Kalithorpe, for some reason, forced his way into [Davies Jones]'s life and even plotted to curse [Davies Jones]'s lover... In the end, [Davies Jones] agreed to [Sea God]'s request to save his lover and became the captain of the [Flying Dutchman], forever staying by [Sea God's] side."
"The ghost ship was given to Davy Jones by Poseidon?" Ah Xiruo was taken aback.
“Yes.” [Gold] Shaq chuckled. “If you ask me, [Davis Jones] is a complete idiot. He has such a rich, powerful, and mature goddess throwing herself at him and he still resists! If it were me, I would have kicked my worthless first love to the curb long ago! If he really can’t bear to part with her, he can secretly keep her as a mistress!”
"Bah! Scumbag!"
"Hahahaha!"
[Gold] Shaq laughed twice, completely unfazed.
—He's a scoundrel to begin with. There's no house to collapse in this ruin. Why would he care about Xi Ruo's spittle?
"And then?" Ah Xiruo couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What were the endings for [Poseidon] and [Davy Jones]?"
[Gold] Shak said, "It seems that after [Davy Jones] became the captain of the [Flying Dutchman], he never gave up searching for a way to kill [Poseidon]. It is said that [Davy Jones] once piloted a ghost ship deep into the third node of the [Primordial], attempting to find the lost artifact [Trigger Trident] to lift [Calythorpe]'s curse on him... However, whether [Davy Jones] found the [Trigger Trident] is unknown. The legend about him ends here."
Shak paused, then pondered, "Later, the Old Gods' Era erupted into a terrifying war that swept across the four sides of the Void, devastating the entire Void ecosystem. Countless powerful immortals perished, and countless powerful civilizations were annihilated, not to mention the peak golden small worlds that had reached their zenith, which were wiped out in countless ways... The Darkest Hour—just hearing about it is terrifying. And it was during the Darkest Hour that the Sea God, Kalithorpe, fell. Therefore, the story of Davy Jones and Kalithorpe ended there."
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly glanced at [Luo]... Boss Luo.
Boss Luo: I don't know? It wasn't me...
"There's a statue of a god here too."
...It was Bai Zhi's voice.
She stopped in front of a passageway and pointed inside... It was probably just a side hall of the temple.
“Let’s go take a look.” [Gold] Shak pondered, “My Sandmen have done a preliminary investigation, and there are no statues enshrined in the main hall… It should be the one that the [Laurel] tribe dug out and enshrined. There’s actually another one?”
Soon, the group arrived at the statue that Bai Zhi had mentioned.
"This statue doesn't seem to depict the sea god?"
This is a statue kneeling on one knee, with both hands outstretched, holding nothing... It seems that it should have been holding something here.
This female statue is actually only about two meters tall, a very small one.
"Why is it in this posture? It feels like it's guarding someone." Ah Xiruo walked around the statue to the back, only to find that the heels of the kneeling statue were shackled. "Sinner? What does this say, Shak?"
—They don't even add "brother" or "older brother"!
[Gold] Shaq narrowed his eyes, glanced at the base of the female statue, and pondered, "Ko...Lib...So? That sounds like a name."
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly reached out and pressed against the body of the [Colybuso] statue, "This is not a statue...she is alive!"
……
……
……
……
A perfect landing... The witch narrowed her eyes – Xiao Meng was gone!
There was a piece of ground on the ground that looked as if it had been dug out by something—but there was no need to be alarmed, after all, Xiao Meng had her hidden [Niu Bingwei], and that [Niu Bingwei] was not some temporary product.
No danger signal came from Niu Bingwei—but the witch was also unable to pinpoint Niu Bingwei's location.
"Could it be blocked by some kind of force?"
Just as the witch was muttering to herself, a terrifying sense of crisis suddenly struck—as if by instinct, the witch immediately raised her arm.
A metal bracelet on her wrist instantly generated three light shields: purple, silver, and gold!
The triple light shield was shattered in an instant by a terrifying force!
The witch was terrified and ended up rolling away in a rather embarrassing manner!
A knight's lance, formed from energy, had now plunged deep into the earth before shattering and disappearing into light and shadow.
"That's what it was just now..." The witch took a deep breath and suddenly looked up!
In mid-air, a female knight clad in magnificent golden armor and with long, deep blue hair calmly looked down.
The witch gasped again. "I mean... is there some misunderstanding? I don't think I know you?"
—Where did this female knight come from...?
Formidable rival...
No, it's an unfathomable monster!!
"Finally found you, you spying rat." Eva chuckled. "I'll give you two choices: surrender and come back with me, or... I'll cripple you until you're barely alive, then drag you back with me."
"...Can't you speak properly?" The witch rolled her eyes in annoyance.
—What kind of aloof female knight is this? Shouldn't this kind of person be caught by those green, incredibly fertile little devils to have babies?
Who let her out...?
If all else fails, if we don't have the green little rascals, pigmen or black beasts will do too, right?
"What disgusting things are you thinking about?" Eva's gaze suddenly sharpened.
A terrifying aura instantly locked onto the witch's entire body... This time, the witch's expression truly changed drastically. "You... were you sent by that four-eyed guy in the mirror?"
“Not bad.” Eva sneered. “But you just offended me… I’ve decided, I’ll cripple you.”
In an instant, a huge knight's lance appeared in Eva's hand, and behind her golden armor, a pair of huge wings of light unfolded simultaneously—Charge!
"TM..."
The witch gritted her teeth, stood up without saying a word, and then turned and ran...
