Chapter 70 Sleepwalker
Sean looked at the ancient hall in front of him, looking confused, thinking to himself, why did I come here again?
This is the third time he has dreamed of this place.
It seems that the thing Lingzhi Water is really hard to drink, and I have nightmares day by day.
He hesitated and didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
In the magnificent hall, singing kept coming, as if he was inviting him in, but Sean had no intention of stepping forward. The last scare left a big psychological shadow on him. He didn't want to be watched by the group of skeletons.
He stared in front of the hall for a moment, then looked behind him. In addition to this hall, there were many other buildings around him, magnificent, solemn and simplicity.
Sean couldn't help but feel a little curious. This city is probably the City of Gods in Nord's mythology. Even though there must be a gap between the legend and the real one, he still wanted to explore it. Sean walked down the steps and wandered in the city, strolling in the square and corridor, walking along the way, but he didn't see a single figure.
There are desolate and decadent scenes everywhere. Although the city’s buildings are still intact, they have obviously experienced the baptism of time and are full of mottled and damaged traces.
He saw the weeds growing wildly in the garden, spreading along the cracks of the rocks, the dry branches and branches of the trees were twisted and intertwined, and the withered leaves were falling everywhere. The water in the fountain had dried up, leaving only the remains of some mummies of fish creatures. A statue of the god fell on the square and turned into rock fragments all over the ground.
The further down, the more dilapidated it appears. Some buildings have begun to collapse, and some exterior walls are intact, but the oil paint on the walls is completely faded and gray.
There was a dead silence everywhere.
The more Sean saw, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. This strange city without a man seemed to be a forgotten ruin. Under its magnificent appearance, it was like a corpse that had been dead for many years, exuding the unique cold air of the tomb.
He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he walked down the steps and wanted to find an exit. A gate suddenly appeared in front of him. The gate was covered with iron chains and huge wooden boards, and a rusty pull rod was placed next to the door, as if it was a mechanism for opening the door.
This should be the way out, right? He thought to himself, and pulled the pull rod hard, but the pull rod had not moved at all, and it seemed that it had completely rusted.
Sean was thinking about how to open the door when a voice suddenly rang behind him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have done that."
As soon as Shaun turned around, he saw a little girl dressed in white, looking at him in a downward posture.
The girl has big, smart eyes, her hair is silver-white, very long, almost hanging to her waist, and shines like ice and snow in the sun.
Her skin was so pale and nearly transparent that the blood vessels under her skin could be clearly seen.
At this time, she was sitting on the head of a giant bear stone statue, with barefoot swaying in the air.
Sean was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, there were still residents in this city. He was not very nervous because he knew that he was dreaming, but he was a little excited.
"Why?"
The little girl did not answer him, but Sean soon knew the answer - boom! A violent impact made Sean scare and took a few steps back. He looked at the door. The iron chains on the door were shaking violently, and the rust fell down one after another. The huge wooden board nailed to it also made a squeaking sound, as if something was going to get in from inside.
Fortunately, that door is strong enough.
"What the hell is that?" asked Sean.
The little girl still didn't answer his question. She stretched her hands to maintain balance and jumped down from the statue's head. Sean exclaimed. Just when he thought the little girl would fall to the ground, the little girl stepped in mid-air and landed lightly on the ground.
"It's just a poor beast. It's been trying to break in these days, but it's no longer its home, haha."
The girl chuckled, as if she was thinking of something particularly funny to die.
"After that being said, why are you here?"
Sean thought to himself how I know.
"No, you're not here." The little girl said, and circled around him, looking surprised, "It's interesting, it turns out that you are a sleepwalker!"
Sean was a little surprised. The little girl could actually see that he was dreaming. Wait a minute, could this little girl really exist?
He was always a little curious and uneasy about the dreams he had. At this time, he finally met someone who seemed to know the skills and immediately wanted to understand.
Sean said: "Are you real? Or is it a reflection of my subconscious mind, why do I always dream about this place?"
The little girl said, "Because you have a strong spirituality, you can see things that ordinary people say you can't see, and you must have some kind of Nord sacred object around you, so you are led here."
Sean thought to himself that this is true. The mansion he lived in was built with the materials of the downed Nord Temple. And he drank so much spiritual water, no wonder he always dreamed of this place.
If you don't look back, you can stay in the hotel in the town for a few days.
"Is this the Temple of the Gods? I thought it was just a legend."
"Yes, this is the Temple of the Gods, but it's a pity that you can't see the gods here, I'm the only one here - well, there are more you now, are you interested in strolling around? I can take you around and take a tour while you're not awake."
"Okay, I'm worried about not having a guide." Sean happily accepted the girl's invitation, and the two walked along the street towards the depths of the city.
She seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she took Sean through the streets and squares, introducing the origin and purpose of each building along the way.
"That is the temple of the wolf god Finn, it is Uruk's follower, but I have never seen it."
"That is the temple of Cro, the god of the ocean. It was killed by Om, and the clergy fell into Om's hands."
"That is the temple of the first sun god. Its name has long been forgotten. Om asked his believers to destroy all the records of the first sun god. Now even his own name is about to be forgotten, haha..."
Sean couldn't help but wonder when he listened to the little girl's introduction, "Why did the Temple of the Gods become like this?"
"How do I know, I'm just a little girl, this is what I've been like since I can remember." The little girl looked calm, but Sean always felt that she seemed to be hiding something.
The two of them walked around a stone staircase and came to a stone platform that was bulging and on the hillside. The view here was wide and you could see the mountains in the distance. The mountains in the dream looked dark, and a winding valley could be vaguely seen between the shadows of the mountains...
"Come here, I'll show you something."
Sean turned his head and followed the little girl to the platform.
There is another magnificent temple here, which seems to be standing side by side with Aum's temple.
But compared with the constant singing of the Om Temple, this huge temple is silent, as lifeless as a tomb.
The little girl walked straight in, turned around and looked at Sean who was parked at the door, and smiled brightly.
"Don't worry, there are no dead heads here."
Sean hesitated for a moment and followed in. The magnificence inside the temple was beyond his imagination. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by everything in front of him. There were gold, gems, pearls, and various exquisite armor and weapons everywhere, which looked like a treasure house of a giant dragon.
But soon he recovered from calmness. No matter how much money he has, it's just that, and he is in a dream.
The little girl was a little surprised by his calmness and led him to the second floor.
Rows of thrones are displayed on both sides of the hall, and a ball of floating flames are burning on each throne.
How come that thing looks like the fire of memory? But it is even more dazzling, and the colors are colorful, and it looks very wonderful.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that this was the fire of memory left after the fall of the gods?
If it is true, it would be amazing. If it can be absorbed, what a powerful force would it be.
No! Sean suddenly thought of a problem. It almost happened if he absorbed the memory of a magician. It would be a pity that he would absorb the memories of the gods.
However, the memory fire of these gods has been preserved for so long, which is a bit powerful. According to the book, once the fire of soul is exposed to completion, it will soon dissipate.
