Chapter 1617: God's Guard

Statues are not just stones. It can almost be said that all statues have symbolic meanings. Especially in places like this where no one has been for hundreds of years, it is not surprising that the statues have some special powers, or that the statues themselves are movable golems.

The three of them stood there for a while, and the statue did not react in any other way. Even when Nemia picked up a piece of rubble and threw it at it, the statue did not come alive and start attacking the three of them.

Then the three of them walked in.

This is a very spacious room. On both sides, you can see gold-plated braziers lined up, but the fuel inside has been exhausted and cannot be lit.

At the deepest part of the room, three statues stand in sequence.

The statue on the left is a kind female figure holding an upside-down two-eared water bottle with clear water flowing out of the bottle mouth. The one on the right is a female knight holding a sword and shield, wearing heavy armor but no helmet. It was this statue that Nemea felt the gaze on just now.

In the middle, which is also the main statue, is a barefoot girl wearing a veil and with her arms outstretched. Judging from her facial features, she looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

Aoerdai took a quick look and nodded.
"This is the temple of Lady Shilopher of the Raging Waves."

Nimia was puzzled when he heard this:
"But shouldn't the statue of Lady Raging Waves be an image of a sword dancer holding a scimitar? And who are the two statues next to it?"

Zora had never left Avarus, so he didn't know what the temples in other countries looked like, but Nemea was an adventurer, so he had seen a lot.

"It's normal for the statue to have multiple incarnations. The Lord also told me that in front of him, Hilofil was an image of a young lady wearing a lot of lace decorations. The key point is to look at the inscriptions and holy emblems below the statue."

Following Olde's finger, you can see that the base of the statue is painted with ocean lines, but there are also several cute and Q-version dolphin patterns.

Ah, that’s right, the holy emblem of Hilofil is a cute dolphin.

"As for the two beside them, they should be the servants of Ms. Nu Tao."

"But I have never seen other temples of Lady Raging Waves that worship subordinate gods."

"For these two are dead from God."

Aldea recalled the contents of the book and said:
"A long time ago, the Storm God Talos launched a war of gods against Lady of the Raging Waves, Herophiel. Her subordinate god was killed at that time to buy time for Lady of the Raging Waves. Talos failed to swallow Lady of the Raging Waves' divinity, and Lady of the Raging Waves only started to act again about a thousand years ago."

Nimia suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the followers of Lady Rage of Waves were hostile to the followers of the God of Storms. It turned out that there was this reason.

For gods, thousands or tens of thousands of years is not a long time, especially when there is a grudge. Lady Nutao is willing to spend the same amount of time just to wait for the Storm God Talos to reveal a flaw, and then settle all new and old grudges together.

"But it's hard to say whether gods are completely dead. Only the core temple of Lady Nutao enshrines her subordinate gods, perhaps for the purpose of resurrecting them."

Oldie explained, and then said:
"This also means that this temple is very important."

“But no one prays for it.”

"The temple is not just for believers to pray."

Zora has something to say about theology.

“And judging by the location of the temple, it looks more like a guard.”

"That's right. The royal family of Subia must have received instructions from Lady Raging Waves to build a core temple here. This means that the secrets in the family's secret room need to be guarded by a true god." In this way, the role of the mirror can be explained. It is to avoid the detection of the will of the Storm God Talos.

The wizard who was murdered to silence him smashed the mirror in order to destroy the underground palace, meaning that if you do something wrong on the first day, don't blame me for doing something wrong on the fifteenth day.

But I have to say that this is actually a bit of an overestimation of Taluosi.

Or taking yourself too seriously.

Talos, the God of Storms, is one of the ancient gods. Although he is one of the most evil gods, he is also one of the most powerful evil gods. He has lived a carefree life from the ancient chaotic era to the present. This kind of guy cannot be hidden by a few mirrors.

It should be said that He probably never took Lady Shilofiel, the Raging Wave, as a person and never cared about her at all, even though Shilofiel was a powerful divine being.

After all, powerful divine powers are not completely equal to each other. Take the Centipede Lord for example. His little brother was killed by Li Chengxi, but he didn't even dare to fart. At that time, the gods did not fall from their thrones.

The timing of their arrival was actually just right. If all the gods were on their thrones, the three of them would be questioned by Ms. Nu Tao as soon as they entered. If there was no reasonable reason, Ms. Nu Tao would probably take action personally.

But now the statue is just a piece of stone. What's more, Ms. Nutao knows Li Chengxi and has this relationship. If she explains it clearly, there will be no problem.

So everyone just checked for traps, then bypassed the statue and headed towards the back half of the temple.

Entering from the door on the side of the statue, there is a room that looks like a bedroom at the back, and there are still signs that someone has lived there.

But judging from the dust, it must be at least several hundred years old, and there was no bed, only a rotten cushion to lean on.

Considering that the skeleton outside is an elf, it can be confirmed that this is the room that person used to live when building the underground palace.

Because elves do not need sleep, they only need to meditate for a few hours to meet their sleep needs, so they don’t really need beds unless they do some aerobic exercise that requires sweating.

From this perspective, the passage should have been excavated and the gate made first, and then the temple of Lady Raging Waves was built. Using the divine power of Lady Raging Waves, they could avoid all detection and continue digging deeper.

The furnishings in the room were still the same as they were hundreds of years ago. Some of the drawers of the cabinets had been roughly opened, probably because the elf was looking for life-saving potions when he was injured, but it obviously failed to save the elf's life.

Alde first cast detection magic to detect traps and secret doors, and confirmed that there was nothing particularly magic-related in the room.

This step is very necessary. Who knows what's in the wizard's residence. Maybe this is just a temporary place to stay, so no spell traps were found.

The three of them then explored the room, leaving behind some rotten, rags and the like, and finally, Alde found the elven wizard's spell book.

Under the protection of magic, this thing is relatively intact. Perhaps I can learn some new spells from other people's spell books.

Apart from that, there was only a line of small words found on one side of the wall, which seemed to have been scratched with fingernails.

It says, 'I curse you! I curse the Subiya royal family to eternal damnation!'

When he wrote this it was nothing more than a fit of impotent rage before his death, but now it seems to have some prophetic meaning.
