C170 The Underground Palace
At that moment, the stone door, which was already so soft, suddenly collapsed. "Crash!" It collapsed with a few sounds.
But in Sophie's eyes, it was completely different. "Ashlow only pressed his hand on the door and said a spell that he did not understand. The huge stone door immediately collapsed. It's too magical. I have never seen such a magic before. "
This matter had become a topic that countless descendants talked about enthusiastically. There were even quite a number of young people who asked Ashlow about the spell he used at that time. However, no one had succeeded. Ashlow's incantation also became a magic that many years later people competed to study.
At this time, the main character of my family was leading his newlywed wife through the gate and walking inside step by step. There was a long corridor in front of them, even though it was pitch black. The flame in Qingtian's hand is very bright. It illuminated the surroundings.
"I don't know where this corridor leads to. Hold on tightly to me. If there's anything, hide behind me" As he spoke, Qingtian walked inside.
After walking for a long time, he felt that it had been more than half an hour before he reached the end.
In front of him was an even wider area, but in front of him was a huge castle. How could he describe it? If the most magnificent castle on the continent was the main hall of the Church... This castle could be compared to the main hall. The twenty-meter tall city wall was lined with ballista bolts and catapults. It was enough to show that this place used to be an important military fortress.
"Looks like this desert might be a lost civilization. Maybe it has been too long since the sand covered this place. It buried the entire civilization inside. Maybe no one has been here for thousands of years. But how did the previous Pope know the location of this place? And he even lured that demon here to be sealed. Looks like the Church really has a lot of secrets." As he thought, Atlas slowly walked inside.
The castle's main gate was the same as the current forts. It was a very tall and thick wooden door, tightly shut. However, because this place had been sealed off all year round and had almost never been corroded, after so many years, it had still been preserved quite well.
He walked over and carefully observed his surroundings. He discovered that this place was basically a dead city with no signs of human habitation. Thus, he pressed his hands on the door and forcefully pushed it. "With a squeak, the door was pushed open.
It was unknown where the light came from, but it made the entire castle not pitch-black. One could vaguely see the surrounding scenery.
Sure enough, the inside of the castle was empty. Of course, it referred to creatures. The normal living facilities in the castle were very well-equipped, and the defensive measures on the city walls were very good. Rows of houses in the city, as well as the main hall in the center. However, many of the houses that were destroyed indicated that there had been a long fierce battle here.
"Sigh, I wonder what caused all the people here to disappear. Didn't the Pope tell you about this place?" Qingtian asked Sophie who was behind him.
"No. Although I grew up in the Holy Church, I have never heard anything about this place. It's just that when I was very young, my father followed the previous Pope here. However, he and the other three Cardinals died here, and the rest of the Cardinals also brought their corpses back. Moreover, no one has asked about this place, perhaps only Pope knows about it." The little girl clearly didn't know anything.
"That's right. With your disposition, it is impossible for them to tell you the secret about this place. If it wasn't for your physical condition, you might never have come here in your entire life." As he spoke, Qingtian continued to 'tour' the city with him.
The buildings in the city were basically similar to that of the current continent. From a long time ago, the fact that this place could be compared to the current level meant that the technology at that time was already very advanced. Seeing this, Qingtian couldn't help but think of Ancient Loulan City. It was also a mysterious culture. It was also a developed technology, but for some reason, it disappeared just like that.
The front of the hall was the most seriously damaged. Half of the entrance had collapsed, and the building in front had basically been destroyed. There were several large craters on the ground. It could be seen how intense the battle at that time was.
After kicking away the rubble beside him, Atlas continued walking in. The moment he stepped into the hall, the hall suddenly lit up. Countless magic lamps lit up the entire hall.
"What should we do? Should we go and find the sealed demon first?" Sophie carefully asked Tian Qingtian's opinion.
"No, let's go and find the treasure first. If we really fight later, those treasures might be buried. It was better to find all of them and put them away now. Don't you have the confidence to seal him for a while? Even if we can't beat him, taking all the treasures wouldn't be a wasted trip. Let's go, we'll look for him. " Tian Qingtian seemed to be more interested in treasures and pulled Sophie to search everywhere.
Although there was light after entering the hall, it was really too big inside. It was really not easy to find. "This is a completely imperial palace, look at these decorations. I've seen them in the imperial palace of Art and Menes. Most emperors would decorate this way." Tian Qingtian sighed as he observed his surroundings.
"I, why didn't I notice it?" Sophie followed beside Qingtian and looked left and right, but she did not find anything special.
"Of course you don't understand. You grew up in the Holy Church. Although the decorations there were very gorgeous, they were almost all reliefs and statues related to the God of Light and angels. The things of the royal family are completely different from what they are. " As he spoke, Atlas casually picked up a golden bowl that had fallen to the ground." Take a look. Is there anyone in the Church who uses gold to make cooking utensils? Moreover, the patterns on it are so gorgeous that they are basically used by a certain Emperor. " As he spoke, he directly threw it into the Cosmos Sack.
"This thing is also worth money! I still have a group of private soldiers waiting for me. This time when I go out, I will definitely be able to raise their equipment by a few levels."
Relying on Atlas's impression, the two of them walked towards the place where the valuable items were stored in the Imperial Palace. Sure enough, not long after, they found a golden door with a gold lock hanging on it.
"It should be here." As he spoke, Qingtian walked over. With a 'kacha' sound, he broke the golden lock and placed it into the bag. When he pushed open the door, he saw a dazzling scene in front of him.
Qingtian estimated that the house was full of gold, silver, and jewelry. These things were enough for an empire to sustain a war. However, this was not his only goal. Thus, he walked to the small house with a diameter that was much larger than the one at the back.
Sure enough, there were many items stored inside: a greatsword, a spear, a magic staff, gemstones and monster cores. Magic jewelry. There was a dazzling array of items in the room. Moreover, many of them were things that Atlas had never heard of before. "Looks like all the valuable items are stored here. Alright. My trip here wasn't in vain. Humans die for money, birds die for food. It's worth it even if I lose my life here today. " As he thought about it, Qingtian couldn't be bothered to observe carefully. He formed a seal with his hands. He put all of the equipment and the soft equipment into his bag.
"This girl's dowry is really generous! Haha! Looks like this time, it's all mine!" Looking at the empty house in an instant, he did not care about Sophie's surprised expression and pulled her out.
"Come, let's go and see that legendary devil!"
