"The labyrinth builders experienced heavy losses from a meteorite fall, and then they thought it was God's punishment and built an altar to pray for blessings?"
Viserys couldn't help but have such an association in his mind when he saw this last fresco, because it's hard not to have such an association since the first fresco.
However, the content painted on the last mural couldn't help but make people creepy.
This is obviously very similar to what Viserys is experiencing now. He has just seen a scattered giant corpse from the first floor, and then there are several more on the second floor, and the third floor is all at once. It became a lot denser, and even human bones appeared. It can be seen that the human explorers went down to the third floor at most. They knew that there was a fourth floor, but they died here before they continued to descend.
And now Viserys is at the lowest level that countless expeditions have not reached. According to the frescoes carved by these hairy giants, they built the altar here, and there is a considerable possibility that it was there. In a festival recorded in the mural, all the labyrinth builders died suddenly, becoming a swan song.
Then Viserys flashed forward again with a torch in his hand, but the wall in front was empty and there were no other frescoes.
It seems that this is indeed the last message these long-haired giants left to the world.
"So, that altar is in front?"
Viserys shook the other nearby walls with a torch, and after realizing that there were no other murals, he turned his eyes to the depths and darkness in the distance.
According to the information provided by the last mural, the altar built by the labyrinth builders is in the deepest part of the fourth floor.
Viserys continued to walk towards the deepest part of the underground labyrinth, stepping on the bones of the labyrinth builders and making a clicking sound.
Because I don't know how many years have passed, these bones are already close to extinction, just because the temperature and humidity in the underground palace are relatively stable, and there is no wind and sun to barely maintain their shape, but a little touch immediately turns into powder.
Kak
In the underground palace, only the footsteps of Viserys sounded. He didn't know how many bones he stepped on along the way, and he held a torch in his hand to constantly illuminate the road ahead.
"arrive."
After an unknown amount of time passed, Viserys finally paused slightly and stood still.
Because at this moment, an ancient altar made of carved boulders similar to the labyrinth outside finally appeared in front of his eyes.
"This is the altar."
Viserys stood where he was, holding a half-burning torch, and looked at the altar slightly.
It has to be said that compared to the majestic labyrinth above the ground, this altar is a bit rudimentary and hasty. For the ancient civilizations, their knowledge was relatively lacking, and everything was attributed to supernatural power, so at that time The most common thing that the civilized races do is to build altars, offer blood animals and even the lives of their tribesmen to sacrifice.
It seems that the meteorites fell from the sky and scared the maze builders, so they hurriedly built altars to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, praying that the disaster would pass, but they did not expect that this sacrifice and blessing would directly lead to the entire ethnic group. 's demise.
But I don't know if it was Viserys's illusion. Because the light of the torch became smaller, it could only dispel the darkness around him, so Viserys could not see the whole altar clearly, except that he could see clearly. place, and the rest is shrouded in darkness.
Then Viserys crouched down and observed carefully, he could see some complicated symbols from these finely carved boulders. The symbols of these labyrinth builders were somewhat similar to ancient sayings, but they were not exactly the same.
"This is... Calamity?"
"Or a disaster?"
Viserys carefully recognized it for a long time, but he couldn't recognize it. Although he and the giants had learned the ancient language, he did not know the symbols in the ancient language, because even the giants themselves could not write and only speak.
However, judging from these primitive ancient symbols, these labyrinth builders seem to have an inexplicable connection with the giants of Westeros.
The silver-haired young man squatted in front of the altar with a torch and studied the ancient characters on it, and the road when he just came is still pure darkness, without a shred of light, complete silence, as if there was never a way. Same.
Viserys stroked the boulder that built the altar with his palm, his eyes swept across the darkness around him, although he did not show it on his face, but when he came to the vicinity of the altar, Viserys' faintly perceived discomfort became more intense.
It really seemed as if someone was watching him secretly, and he also felt colder.
Then Viserys turned his head and looked at the top of the altar. Although the light of the torch could not be seen clearly, there seemed to be something vaguely placed on it.
"It should be the indistinct black thing on the mural."
Viserys was slightly vigilant in his heart. Although he seemed bold and fearless, he broke into the fourth floor of the underground palace alone, but in fact he was more careful than anyone else.
If he guessed correctly, this black thing is likely to be the culprit that led to the annihilation of the entire clan of the maze builders.
Viserys stepped up to the steps of the altar. The steps of the altar had seven floors. As he climbed the highest step, the light from the torch in his hand also made him see clearly at the core of the altar. The black thing that was there.
"This is... a black stone?"
Viserys' heart skipped a beat when he saw that what the maze builders had built the altar to enshrine~www.mtlnovel.com~ was just a black stone.
He didn't react for the first time, but the next second he remembered.
He has seen this thing!
Viserys was in front of the bottomless pit suppressed by the Old God, outside the Great Wall north of the Great Wall. Through the power of the Old God, he went back in time and saw that after he left the Great Wall, the White Walkers killed the Old God, and then one of them. The White Walker walked into the bottomless pit, and then an unknown amount of time passed, and the White Walker walked out of it with a black stone like this in his hand.
This black stone is different from other black stones such as those used to build Dragonstone Island and repair the Great Wall. Its texture is somewhat oily, and it seems to absorb light, even human eyes.
Viserys is now holding a torch and shining on this black stone without the slightest reflection, all the light seems to have been absorbed by it.
