Chapter 389 Temple of Thoth
The Rorschach who entered was no longer "ascending", but was stuffed into a winding pipe, with a suction force in front of him constantly forcing him to move forward.

This made Rorschach a little nervous. Could it be that there was a master waiting for him at the destination, eager to summon the spirit?
"Huff!"

There was still water at the end of the "pipe", but it was not the elemental plane of water, but a huge copper pot. When Rorschach climbed out, he was surprised to find that the stand's earthy body had completely disappeared, and now there was something transparent between his stretched out hands. The soul state is commonly known as "Apiao".

Living water microorganisms cannot leak out. Rorschach looked at the water surface, but the water in the copper pot was extremely clean. There was no trace of melted and faded earth. After climbing out of the pot, the transparency of his soul gradually faded, and he solidified into a state that was no different from his true body.

"The sun is so dazzling." Rorschach couldn't help but squint his eyes. The space he was in was like a desert. When he looked up, he saw a star occupying most of the sky moving silently. It was white and faint. Traces of uneven material flow on the surface can be seen. The Milky Way was flowing around it, and it was almost daytime now, so Rorschach could only see the blurry, crystal clear traces of the Milky Way.

This celestial body looks like a star. According to common sense, at the distance between the Holy Land and the celestial body, even Rorschach's spiritual body would be roasted to the point of sizzling, but the physical sensation was just a little hot.

Maybe it is also a "vesicle" that invisibly isolates most of the thermal radiation, or maybe there are certain laws at work in the holy land.

Looking at the horizon again, there is a huge tree-shaped thing standing with endless views, and energy is constantly flowing on its surface. Separated between Rorschach and the giant tree is a majestic, square, angular and intact religious building. It is white in color and blends in with the desert-like environment here.

If the giant thing is the "Tree of Law", wouldn't Thoth's temple be close to the original level? Rorschach was shocked. However, in the legend, Thoth himself was the inventor of alchemy, and some even speculated and respected him as the god of magic.

Sure enough, legends always contain a "core of truth".

Feeling that this "relic" was extraordinary, Rorschach acted more cautiously. When he climbed down from the huge copper pot, he found that the copper pot was carried by a huge bull statue, and beside it there was an extinguished square fire altar, with With four horns.

When Luo Xia saw that there were still copper carts scattered in front of the hall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the ruts of the copper carts were broken and the hubs were scattered, proving that this place was no longer protected by gods or other beings.

At this point, Rorschach walked towards the main hall step by step. The towering door opened automatically in response to the arrival, and golden light flowed from it, but the golden light also had a warm color. Rorschach saw that the hall, from the floor to the walls to the columns decorated with pomegranate pattern capitals, was all wrapped in metal of this color. However, he guessed from the color that it was probably unoxidized bronze.

The main hall is empty, with only two rows of large candlesticks. The candles on them have long since been extinguished. The sunlight shines through the thin shells on the roof of the main hall, but there is still the faint scent of frankincense and burning vegetation lingering, and the main hall At the end is a tattered cabinet, and the main body of the base is two monsters with human faces and beasts and wings.

Behind the cabinet is a tent.

go? Luo Xia stopped and listened for a while. It was absolutely quiet here. If it were the real person, he could hear his own heartbeat.

He carefully opened the tent, and the second temple appeared. The second hall does not have a transparent shell roof, but the sacred fire is always burning, providing flickering illumination. The first hall seems to be a place where normal-sized humanoids come and go. Now the second hall is extremely majestic. It is difficult to see the height of the roof under the firelight. It is roughly estimated to be tens of meters. It is the real residence of the gods.

Different sculptures are lined up along both sides. The sculpture closest to Rorschach is close to the size of an ordinary person. There are images of wolves and humans, and some have pointed ears, which seem to be elves.

Rorschach saw an old man wearing a hood on the left, and beside him was a lifelike and agile donkey. It is Balaam, the wise prophet and the god of deception.

He recalled the conversation between Balaam's remaining soul. He was Thoth, but Thoth was not him. In other words, this hall is filled with images of God Thoth? Rorschach boldly walked on the carpet in the middle, looking at the different statues and guessing. But he also felt that these images could not simply be regarded as the incarnation of the god Thoth, and Balaam himself also had different images and incarnations in mythological records.

Simply summarizing Balaam’s words, He is a “subset” of the “Thoth set”.

The closer you get to the end of the second hall, the taller the standing statues are. The last one on the right almost stands up to the sky. He has a strong and graceful male body and two faces: an ibis on one side and a baboon on the other, unified under the light of the full moon ring. Down.

Rorschach has an "Ibis with Moon" medal. The image of the subject on it coincides with the face of the ibis bird in this sculpture, but the moon phase on the medal is not a full moon. In other words, this is the "Thoth" appearance generally recognized by the Kingdom of Sand and the mages of later generations.

The statue opposite to Him on the left has an empty base, and the body no longer exists. The statue on the next level is a beautiful man with a poisonous snake in his hand. He also wears feather decorations on his head, and holds an elder cane in his other hand. Holding a wine flask.

In the middle of the end of the second hall, there is a towering throne. The statues standing next to it are already tens of meters high and are about to reach the top. The second curtain at the end is not big, and is still large enough for people to pass by. However, there are huge patterns painted on the bi surface.

The firelight was not clear enough, so Rorschach did not dare to light the lamp rashly or use [Light Spell], but turned on [Dark Vision] to observe. He saw a somewhat familiar pattern, but with a flicker.
At this time, he stood close to the bottom of the Two-Faced Thoth, and finally saw clearly and remembered what it was: the mark of the Arcane Monastery! The ancient secret deed shown by Kano!
Just as he remembered it, the pattern began to light up automatically, first a clear blue, then darkening to purple, and the change did not stop, gradually dyeing it into a blood-red red.

Rorschach's scalp tightened, because any change here meant possible danger. He looked away and found that a huge monster had appeared on the opposite side!

It had a human face and an animal body, with wings that were several meters long on both sides. It held a flaming sword in its mouth, and the eyes it looked at Luo Xia also contained a lot of anger. Rorschach had seen it before, but the first time was on the base of the cabinet in the first hall. Compared with the statue, the real thing has a more holy and weird temperament.

It seemed that a string in his brain was broken. Rorschach was horrified to find that the effect of [Dark Vision] disappeared after looking at the other party!

When did it appear? Can't I cast a spell now? Before Rorschach could prepare, the opponent swooped over without any warning. Rorschach was forced to roll continuously and reached the left side of the hall, switching places with the monster. Although the monster held the sword in its mouth, it could still roar and charge again.

Rorschach looked up following its swooping movement, and at this moment the pattern on the wall changed! Although the monster spread its wings in the air and quickly blocked the pattern, Rorschach already knew that looking from the left side of the hall, the holy emblem of the Lord of Light and Order was clearly painted on the wall!

If there is a big split of the body, let's see if you can still be arrogant! Now was not the time to test the strength of the blue light barrier. Rorschach rolled to the right in embarrassment, avoiding the fire fired from the sky by the giant beast and the heavy body that was about to fall. At this time, he had rolled to a position very close to the curtain. Without thinking about anything else, he stood up and flew behind the curtain.

However, the third hall did not appear, and there was not even a floor behind the curtain. In a panic, Luo Xia plunged into the void.

"Who built the unfinished building——"
