Warhammer Wizard

Ren came out of the meditation room and entered the Temple of Storms again after half a month.

Today, this huge temple has been completely controlled by giants. Sorim and storm giants live in various palaces. They live in the core area of ​​​​the temple, around the sky temple, frost giants, stone giants, hill giants and The Cyclops circled around the periphery.

Including the old and weak, women and children, there are less than 10,000 giant groups combined. Even if they all move in, they will only occupy less than one-tenth of the area of ​​the temple.

Outside the temple, the major vassal races also migrated in one after another, occupying the top of the storm.

The wind elemental creatures that had just returned were scattered around the top of the storm, and Sorim strictly controlled their living and activity areas and were not allowed to leave at will.

On the steps of the main entrance of the Sky Temple, Ren saw Elder Titan with a red face.

"His Majesty!"

Sorim greeted him in a very happy mood.

"Elder." Ren nodded with a smile, looking at this powerful demigod. Every time he met with Sorim in the past, he always looked preoccupied, but now he is waiting for him here in person, his face swept away The weight of the past is really refreshing.

But it is understandable to think about it, Sorim shoulders the future of the entire race and is under great pressure.

Now, the pain and shame that have accumulated for tens of thousands of years are gone, and the ancestral land is retaken, and there is hope for revival, who can not be happy?

Not only Sorim, but the entire giant clan is full of energy. For example, Athena, who is in charge of the defense and restoration of the Eastern Temple, has not seen it for half a month.

Hope can always bring infinite vitality to people!

Ren smiled: "Congratulations to the elder for leading the giant and becoming the master of the storm plane again."

"Hahaha..." Sorim laughed, but he didn't get carried away. "Without Your Majesty's help, I and the giants alone would not have been able to do it. I thank His Majesty again for your great support. When the situation is more stable, we will hold a huge giant celebration, your Majesty, the most honorable guest, please be sure to attend."

"It's my honor." Ren readily accepted the invitation.

Sorim nodded. In his eyes, Ren was no longer an ally, but a very thick thigh that the giant must hold tightly. The so-called Giant Celebration is actually to please Ren and bring the relationship closer.

The two exchanged a few words, and Sorim said, "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Elder Titan opened a portal.

Ren followed into the portal and came to a magnificent palace hall. This palace should be behind the Temple of the Sky, the core of the Temple of Storms.

Looking around, Ren found that the environment here is similar to that of the "Furnace Temple" in the northern temple, except that the area is about three times larger, the dome is higher, and the ground is also spotless transparent glass. You can see that there is a huge Titan furnace underground. , is running at the moment.

The size of this Titan Furnace is similar to the super-giant Titan Furnace on the Augustus, with a height of more than 20 meters. The surging energy is guided from the Furnace, into the energy pipeline, and flows in all directions, providing energy for the entire Storm Temple.

Ren opened the all-seeing eye and observed the Titan furnace.

Obviously, this Titan furnace has not been improved, and neither the conversion efficiency of the source crystal nor the energy output power is far inferior to that of the Augustus.

Seeing that he was looking seriously, Sorim said softly, "Although the cloud giants have a complete inheritance of Titan rune knowledge, their attainment in this area will never be comparable to that of the storm giants. Moreover, the cloud giants cannot enter the temple. In one year, they just managed to get the Titan furnace running and mastered the temple. Compared with 10,000 years ago, their rune technology has not improved much."

"So it is." Ren nodded in understanding.

Times are advancing and technology is developing.

Even without his own split-brain chip, Elder Sorim has been studying the Titan Furnace for thousands of years, maintaining the operation of the northern temple, and accumulating a lot of experience and technology. His understanding of the Titan Furnace must have surpassed that of the Giant Empire period. .

Of course, now in the research of the Titan furnace, he is the most intelligent.

Sorim glanced at Ren and sighed in his heart. He naturally knew that Ren's superb achievements in Titan rune technology had far exceeded his own.

Ren was watching intently, but did not notice Elder Titan's thoughts.

Soon, he found a clue.

There are hundreds of energy pipes guided from the Titan furnace, which are extremely complex, like a dazzling spider web.

The largest pipe is nearly half a meter in diameter. It is hidden among many pipes and does not extend to the surrounding temple buildings, but goes underground.

Ren's eyes fell on the pipe, and he looked down it, I don't know how deep.

The thickness of the ground that even the All-Seeing Eye can't see through is at least over 100 meters. This should be the secret of the Temple of Storms!

"Your Majesty has good eyesight!"

Sorim noticed Ren's gaze and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ren asked directly: "Elder, where does this energy channel lead?" In fact, he also found a problem, this energy channel was not activated, and there was no energy flow in it.

"This is the secret I want to show Your Majesty today." Sorim's expression was very serious, but his eyes were a little confused, "This secret is related to the origin of the storm giants, as early as the time of the giant empire, There are many Titan elders who have conducted in-depth research, and my lord Angeloz has also participated in it, but they have not been able to draw a definite conclusion."

Ren was quite surprised, didn't he even understand the gods?

He was immediately aroused by strong curiosity, and said with a smile: "Elder, since it is such an important secret, is it appropriate to tell me?"

"If Your Majesty can crack it, it will be better." Sorim's face showed expectation, "His Majesty has created so many miracles, if there is anyone in the world who can solve this secret, I think there is no second place except His Majesty. Individuals can do it.”

Hearing what he said, Ren felt pressure instead, shook his head and said, "The elder looks at me too much."

"Ha ha……"

Sorim smiled and said nothing.

A snap.

The Titan grew into a bolt of lightning that flew towards the energy pipe, moved along the metal surface of the pipe, and disappeared into the ground in a blink of an eye.

Ren also triggered a flash of electric light and followed closely.

He controlled his speed to slow down, and sank all the way down the pipeline, but he soon reached the end, and the light flashed, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of me was an empty underground space, like a cave in the Underdark.

The difference is that this space is obviously excavated manually.

Its volume is a standard hemisphere, with a diameter of about 500 meters. The ground is also a standard circle, very flat. It is all paved with flat huge stones. The walls and domes are also cut neatly, like an inverted Buckled empty bowl.

The underground space is extremely hot and the air is thin but dry.

Ren looked back.

In the middle of the top of the cave, there is an energy channel hanging down. It is the only channel connected to the outside world, and it is from there.

The energy pipe goes down vertically and connects to a huge building on the ground.

pyramid!

This was the first impression that flashed in Ren's mind, and then he corrected it. It was not the mausoleum-style pyramid of Egypt in the previous life, but the Mayan pyramid.

The difference between the two is that the Mayan pyramid is smaller in size, and the top of the tower is flat, with layers of steps built on all sides of the tower.

There is also a temple on the square tower top platform.

The pyramid in the cave is different from the Mayan pyramid in some details, but the whole is almost the same. Its height is about 100 meters. There is also a temple on the top of the tower. The energy conduit hangs down from the sky and connects to the temple.

Ren's eyes were full of surprise. The architectural style of this pyramid was completely different from that of the Temple of Storms, and it was obviously not built by giants.

"Elder, what is this place?"

"Just below the Temple of the Storm, about 1,200 blades deep underground." Sorim replied, and the "blade" he was talking about was a unit of length for giants and dwarves, derived from the length of the weapon used, a giant's "blade" ”, roughly equal to two and a half meters.

One thousand two hundred blades is three kilometers.

"Built so deep underground..." Ren observed the pyramid and the entire cave, and found that many places were engraved with a peculiar rune.

A rune formation is arranged on the ground of the cave, as are the surrounding walls. The energy fluctuations emitted form a space blockade, and with the effects of shielding, interference and camouflage, it cannot be found from the outside, nor can it be teleported in.

There are similar runes on the surface of the pyramid, and they are denser and deeper into the tower, but there is no energy injection, and it is in a silent state.

Ren had never seen such a rune.

He discerned it carefully for a while, it was obviously not a Titan rune, and there was no connection between the two. The various writing systems of human beings are also very different. The high elf script, dragon rune, demon script, etc., the dozens of languages ​​and scripts that he masters, are not compatible.

"Elder, isn't this what a giant built?" Ren asked.

"Of course not."

Sorim approached the pyramid quickly, fell in front of the temple on top of the tower, patted the rocky outer wall of the temple lightly, and sighed: "This 'energy altar' has a longer history than the giants, my lord Ankh Lords guessed that it was here long before the giant was born."

As soon as Ren landed, he immediately felt an aura of ancient vicissitudes, as if the building in front of him came from the distant past.

It has stood under the erosion of the years, and will continue to exist to this day.

Hearing Sorim's words, he couldn't help but pale in horror.

Actually earlier than the giant!

You must know that the giant is one of the earliest born races in the world of Alanus. It is similar to the dragon. It appeared in the world in the early stage of the first era, about 30,000 years ago. Even the oldest gods did not A few can exist for such a long time.

The history of the building under your feet is more than 30,000 years old!

Maybe even longer!

Ren was amazed, thirty thousand years! At that time, there should be only trolls living in the world of Alanus, right? After all, only trolls are older than giants in the world, and the first era is the age of trolls.

A light flashed in his mind.

Troll!

"This is the troll rune!" Ren blurted out.

There is a "translation dictionary" in the mutant mobile phone, which can help him easily master the language and characters. He has collected a lot of information over the years. He is proficient in almost all known languages ​​and character systems. Dare to say it's the first.

The reason why it was not immediately identified just now is because the troll rune has been lost for a long time.

The most glorious first era of trolls lasted nearly 10,000 years, and it was also the era that was destroyed by the abyss for the first time. According to archaeologists, it happened about 20,500 years ago, that is, 18,000 years ago.

Since then, trolls have been slumped and scattered around the world and on many planes.

Not only have the trolls failed to regain their brilliance, but they have become worse and worse, their wisdom and civilization have been greatly degraded, and countless branches have evolved, and even the writing system has been lost.

Today's trolls, although they are still intelligent races, are not much better than beasts in the eyes of humans.

The vast majority of trolls lead a life of blood and fur, no different from beasts.

Only a few trolls keep the fire of civilization, different branches of trolls speak different languages, do not communicate with each other, and only have language, losing the writing system.

Ren can speak four troll languages, but he can't write any troll words.

He can recognize it as a troll rune because this type of writing is very special. It is a combination of pictographic and phonetic writing. Each word is like a picture. The combination of symbols is very complicated. The squares are approximately round and the lines are smooth. It is round and has a unique three-dimensional feel.

Many surviving troll ruins and stone carvings bear this type of writing.

Ren has seen it before, so he has an impression.

The rune in front of you is actually quite different from the troll text. It is more concise and streamlined, but the styles of the two texts are three-point similar. They should be in the same line. .

Even if it's not a troll rune, it definitely matters!

"Your Majesty is indeed very knowledgeable."

Sorim looked surprised, but he didn't expect Ren to recognize the origin of the rune at a glance, and then explained: "This is indeed a troll rune, but it is older than a troll. My lord Angeloz speculates, It is by learning this rune that the trolls developed civilization and started the first era."

Ren was taken aback, it was older than trolls, wouldn't that be the prehistoric era!

Was there a species that could build such a pyramid?

Is it a god?

Except for the four abyss gods, there are not many gods that have survived since the prehistoric era~www.readwn.com~ Earth Goddess is one of them, but this is obviously not the behavior of the Earth Goddess, and I can't feel the slightest bit. Information about the Mother Goddess.

"My lord guesses that the builder of the energy altar is a great race with wisdom that surpasses that of mortals, and is beyond the reach of even gods."

"They came to Alanus from the distant void, bringing the fire of civilization to this primitive world."

"They created many species and imparted the first knowledge of magic."

"But for some unknown reason, before the end of the First Era, this powerful and ancient race of sages suddenly left Alanus, leaving only the altar of energy and this rune system. Whether it was trolls, Elves, dragons or dragons, the rune system of each intelligent race is derived from this, and it is the source of all magical knowledge."

"My lord Angeloz called it the 'Ancient Sage Rune'."

Sorim's voice was very soft, but in Ren's ears, it was like thunder on the ground!
