Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 198
Chapter 198: A Beautiful Girl
Kant led James and all the soldiers forward with quick steps.
They walked along the road towards the giant statue. The statue was hundreds of meters tall, walking along the road guarded by the small stone statues on both sides of the road, they could feel their own insignificance when they reached the foot of the statue, as well as the grandeur of this giant statue.
Looking up from the bottom, the supreme power of a god directly impacted the depths of their minds.
If their minds weren’t firm, they would have already knelt in front of the shining golden statue.
Just like on the stair in front of Kant, the small statues kneeling on the stair lowered their heads and half-knelt respectfully, not even daring to raise their heads.
They were all carved into a completely loyal appearance.
“Lord Kant, perhaps what I feel is wrong.”
James spoke slowly behind him, his tone somewhat solemn. “I don’t know why, but I feel that this relic is instead like… like a mausoleum, a mausoleum specially built for the coffin on the stair!”
“Mm.”, Kant nodded.
He didn’t confirm, nor did he deny.
In fact, when he saw the rectangular stone coffin on the stone platform, which was nearly five meters long and three meters wide, this thought also emerged in his mind.
Manid followed behind, holding the knight sword in his hand tightly.
The merchant’s face was now a little shocked. “Compared to the mausoleum I once knew, this one hollowed out the mountain and directly carved such a large-scale god statue. How many years will it take to build it?” He paused, he gulped. “This is much harder than building a city.”
It was more than difficult.
It was almost impossible!
Emptying out a mountain was extremely troublesome even in the modern society Kant once knew, let alone in this foreign world in the era of cold weapons.
Even with the aid of magic, even with the help of divine spell, building such a magnificent building was too extravagant.
In Kant’s eyes, it was definitely not so simple to build a mausoleum. Moreover, as a lost city in the era of gods thousands of years ago, it was also not a cost-effective behavior to build such a large-scale mountain structure just for the sake of a mausoleum.
The age of the gods was still the age of cold weapons.
It had high-end combat strength. It was said that it could easily destroy a mountain range.
But even so…
How could these high-end combat strength be used up for the sake of an ordinary mausoleum? Just like how those high-ranking noble families would not protect the safety of civilians in all aspects.
This was ridiculous.
The people who built this building during the age of the gods were still ordinary people.
Kant could even guess that they had used up countless lives and blood of ordinary people in order to build the building inside this mountain. Only then did they finally dug up this mountain and carved such a magnificent giant statue and the amazing, almost miraculous sun disc.
He took a deep breath. The thick smell of blood was irritating.
Kant said in a deep voice, “Go and take a look.”
However, he did not walk up to the high platform. Instead, he gestured to the Rhodok trained spearmen and ordered, “Go, open that coffin.”
This was almost like an act of suicide.
If there was a trap, then those Rhodok trained spearmen would all die.
But they didn’t care.
Instead, they fearlessly strode toward the stone platform.
It was their honor to die for Lord Kant.
However, there was no trap on the stone platform. Instead, countless golden light flowed above their heads. At the same time, an extremely fine but pure golden ray of light refracted from the sun disk and gathered on the two eyes of the statue. Then, the two eyes refracted the light ray to the longsword that was held in both hands and then shot into the front of the ten meters wide longsword.
The longsword that was dozens of meters tall cut into the platform directly, as if the tip of the longsword had pierced into the mountain.
The coffin was half a meter in front of the longsword.
The fine golden ray also shot into the center of the coffin along with the longsword.
The 20 Rhodok trained spearmen looked at each other and came to the surroundings of the coffin. They nodded at each other, stretched out their hands and placed them on the edge of the coffin, forcefully pushing it to the side.
“Creak, Creak, Creak…”
The stone coffin lid was pushed, making an unpleasant sound.
However, there was definitely a pulley inside the coffin lid or somewhere that allowed it to be pushed. Otherwise, Rhodoks would not be able to push it.
“Creak, Creak, Creak…”
As if the coffin lid had been pushed to its limit, faint creaking sounds could be heard from inside.
The golden light continued to shine down.
However, the target was not the stone coffin lid, but the deeper part of the coffin!
“This is… Gold!”
The Rhodok exclaimed. As the light shone in, the brilliant golden light instantly covered the entire interior of the stone coffin. It was like countless golden liquids were flowing inside, which made their eyes wide-opened, their originally simple personality was now tinged with greed and desire.
“Get out of the way.”, Kant walked over at this time.
These Rhodoks maintained their loyalty and immediately retreated to the side.
There was a look of shame on their faces. It was obvious that they were feeling guilty for their greed.
However, no one cared about these things now.
“This… this…”
Manid and James also walked over, their faces filled with shock.
Inside the stone coffin was another layer of coffin made of gold. Countless complicated and profound sacred sun pattern were carved on it, emitting a shocking liquid-like golden light along with the golden light ray that descended from above. It looked like a mysterious power was flowing within this huge stone coffin and accumulating .
“Ka Ka Ka…”
The sound of metal rotating suddenly sounded.
Kant’s expression changed slightly.
The people beside him also subconsciously tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
The circulating golden light instantly began to shrink, completely melting into the golden coffin. The coffin actually slowly opened to both sides, like a treasure box made from the most sophisticated instruments.
Then, a face appeared in front of Kant.
Fair, tender, and exquisite.
The closed eyes had long eyelashes, a ruddy little mouth, and long golden hair.
It was a beautiful girl!
The clothes on her body was a long robe made of special gold threads. It was complicated and elegant. As the golden coffin was opened, it was exposed to the golden light inside.
The golden light seemed to be flowing with golden liquid.
The beautiful girl’s forehead lit up slightly. The mysterious sacred sun pattern was spreading on her forehead. It started to extend to both sides of her forehead and eventually turned into a pattern that looked like wings.
At the same time, a threatening aura came from her.
Kant felt his mouth dry.
He wanted to say something.
However, in the golden coffin, the beautiful girl’s eyebrows flickered. Her eyes were closed, but she started to blink their long eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.
It was a golden pair of eyes.
They were pure, as if they were made of the most authentic gold.
She was emitted the pressure as a superior being, just a single glance was enough to make Kant and the others, who were standing around the coffin, continuously retreat. However, that rosy little mouth slowly opened, “Are you the servant who woke me up? You actually lost your sacred sun pattern as a servant. Then, what era is it now?”
The voice trembled slightly.
However, in less than two seconds, the voice had become clear and fluent.
A terrifying aura circulated.
Everyone around the coffin could not help but take half a step back.
The beautiful girl who was lying in the golden coffin did not receive any response. Instead, she flew into the air and faced the golden light. She turned her head to look at the huge ruins that were filled with the smell of blood, a hint of anger appeared in her golden eyes. “The power of the hell devils has actually defiled my temple.”
Kant’s heart seemed to be tightly gripped.
However, he still raised his left hand, indicating for everyone behind him to remain calm.
Because the archers behind him were already ready.
Even the Swadian knights and sergeants had already gripped their knight swords or bastard swords tightly. Under their helmets, their eyes were filled with shock and brazenness, as well as their undisguised killing intent!
However, Kant did not give the order to attack.
At this moment, they did not dare to act on their own.
No one knew what kind of power this beautiful girl who floated out of the golden coffin possessed. Especially the small amount of golden light radiating from her body, it shocked everyone. They were all from normal human society, they had never seen such power before.
Even those wardens and rangers from the world of Pendor which filled with magic, they usually did not able to see magic either!
And this beautiful girl floating above the coffin looked at the numerous soldiers in front of her with a hint of killing intent. Her eyes were indifferent and filled with disdain, she stretched out her white and tender finger and pointed it at Kant. “Explain the situation. I will promote you to the servant of the Sun God and open your sacred inscription.”
However, Kant remained silent.
He lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought.
The surrounding soldiers were breathing rapidly. They were all waiting for orders.
However, a new dialog box appeared on Kant’s retina.
[ Ding… After your tireless efforts, the main quest has been completed. ]
[ Main quest: “The secret in the cave” has been completed. ]
[ Reward: 50,000 denars, 5,000 reputation, 5 honor. ]
[ Introduction: A magnificent relic has appeared in this cave. There is a different kind of darkness under the seemingly bright background. Perhaps this is still a new secret, but you still need to do a lot more.]
In an instant, the dialog box for the completion of the main quest popped up.
However, the dialog box was refreshed.
[ Ding… Main quest is released ]
[ Main quest: Absorption ]
[ Reward: The system’s new function is activated ]
[ Introduction: You have discovered this beautiful girl. She seems to be hiding a mystery. This is a power that surpasses cognition. Absorb her, and you will receive a new power! ]
The words on the dialog box were simple and clear.
Kant’s lips curled up slightly.
He had already made a decision in his heart, and he raised his head slightly to look at this beautiful girl floating in front of him.
He held the hilt of the knight sword in his hand.
Beautiful girl?
What a good material to absorb.
