Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 716
After losing the guidance of the remains of the saints of Amon-La Church, Lawrence and their search work suddenly became a lot more difficult.
Fortunately, Nora firmly remembered the characteristics of this god’s power just now, so after spending some time, they re-sensed the clues of power left by the other party.
“I have a question.” Lawrence asked suddenly when Nora was manipulating her ship towards the little bit of Amon-Ra’s supernatural power that she felt.
“You just said that this area will not allow the dead beings to remain for too long, so what is the source of this power we are tracking now?”
The reason why Lawrence had this question is also very simple, because in just a few minutes, the remains of the saint somehow disappeared more than 1/3. Under this circumstance, he did not believe that those mummies thousands of years ago can be maintained to this day.
“I don’t know, but what I can be sure of is that the thing I locked is indeed Amon-the source of the outward release of the pulling power.” Nara pursed her lips and said.
“But you don’t need to worry about the danger, because here is the home ground of the ancient **** of death, even a **** with a truly powerful divine power may not be able to defeat him here.”
“So from a security point of view, we are actually very safe now, because it is impossible for other people to do things in that place, and the existence of the most powerful force in this area really wants to deal with us and there is no need to use traps.”
“You are right.” Hearing what Nora said, Lawrence immediately nodded in approval. If you can easily crush an ant, there is indeed no need to take out a bomb to kill the ant. .
The next journey is not very pleasant, because there are undead slowly dissipating on both sides of the Styx and in the Styx, and the process of a complete disappearance of a soul into the Styx will definitely have a negative impact on the spirit.
“The souls who came here basically did not come voluntarily, and they will never leave. So they have an unforgettable hatred for everything around them.” Nora sighed softly.
“This is also an important reason why the living people who can arrive here can’t stay for too long, otherwise it is easy to be infected with hatred for the living in this environment.”
With the continuous advancement of the ship, various changes have appeared in the surrounding conditions. Finally, Nora’s boat left the main stream of the Styx and drove toward a tributary.
After leaving the gray water surface as wide as the ocean, the field of vision suddenly became narrow. At the same time, some red and black rocky mountains slowly emerged from the thick gray mist, echoing on the water with one after another whistling sound.
“This should be the prison of the abandoners.” After looking at the caves that faintly appeared on the stone walls of the mountains on both sides, Nora said in a low voice. “Used to imprison some violators who violated the low-level Styx Oath.”
In this world, the Oath of Styx is not as cold as Lawrence’s previous life reading novels, but appears very close to the people. It’s just that different levels of existence will naturally be treated differently if they swear.
For example, the souls currently imprisoned in the caves on both sides of the river Styx are just souls belonging to ordinary people, and the price they pay is only to be imprisoned in this deadly space for dozens or even hundreds of years.
But for ordinary people, this is already an unbearable punishment. According to the statistics of some churches, all souls who receive such punishment will be severely injured and lose the opportunity to go to the kingdom of the gods they believe in.
In this world with gods, it is obviously a very bad thing to not be able to go to the kingdom of gods after death. Such a way of wandering along the river Styx is a little better than hanging on the wall of the unbelievers from a certain point of view.
“Where shall we go next?” After feeling the power of death around him began to become chaotic, Lawrence suddenly became nervous. “Why do I feel that the energy around me is getting more and more chaotic.”
“The thing we need to find is probably on this tributary of the Styx.” Nora said to Lawrence while operating the boat they were driving to go and stop to perceive the surrounding situation.
“As for the surrounding energy flow to become chaotic, it is also a very normal thing, because compared to the main body of the Styx, there will be a lot of things from other planes in the tributaries, so from a purely energy point of view, it is not caused by pure death. The power is formed—”
“Is it over there?” Before Nora finished her words, Lawrence felt the Jianmu phantom in the depths of his soul tremble suddenly, and then several branches pointed in one direction.
“It should be over there.” After being reminded by Lawrence, Nora immediately closed her eyes and sensed where Lawrence was pointing, and then quickly opened her eyes and the maneuvering ship rushed past.
A few minutes later, the black ice boat on which Lawrence and the others were riding leaned on a river bank, and then the two jumped from the boat and stepped on the pile of bones on the bank of the river and walked over to the place they had previously sensed.
Creak-Creak-
After stepping on this mountain of bones, some sounds made people feel like teeth, and the faint crying and sighing around made everyone’s hearts tremble.
But as they continued to move forward, these cries weakened again, and the thick mist around them slowly faded with the cries.
“I feel—as if there is sunlight shining on me!” Lawrence suddenly exclaimed in a low voice after walking forward for about a few hours.
Because he felt that his surroundings were full of warmth, as if he was soaking in warm water. And the reason why he was so shocked was because theoretically all kinds of warmth shouldn’t appear in the darkest river that is considered to be the most gloomy.
“It’s indeed sunshine, it’s simply—” Nora also looked shocked, but soon he discovered the problem with sunshine. “Brother, do you feel that this sunshine is a bit like the kind of sunshine in the evening.”
“It seems to be so.” Hearing what the little doll said, Lawrence immediately mobilized his whole body to observe the sunlight carefully, and then he found a lot of things that were really wrong.
“Although this sunlight does feel warm and bright compared to the dead silence around you, if you perceive it carefully, you can feel that this sunlight gives people a sense of decline, as if–”
Having said this, Lawrence stopped suddenly, because he didn’t know what words he should use to describe the sunshine that he usually saw that gave people a completely different feeling.
“——It’s like the light from a dead sun. UU reading www.uukanshu.com” Nora suddenly said at this time. Because of the igniting of the sacred fire, the little doll can better perceive the essence of various existences. .
“Under normal circumstances, the concept of sun or sunlight should lean towards light and life, but now the source of sunlight here should be distorted by Styx, so it gives people a strange feeling that is contrary to normal conditions. ”
“You’re right.” Feeling the power of death carried by the surrounding sunlight, Lawrence nodded and continued. “Do you think the source of this power is the kind of goal we were looking for before.”
“After all, the target we were looking for used to hold the power of the sun and life, but it has now completely fallen. Therefore, it should be reasonable that the remaining power will be affected and undergo a certain mutation.”
“What you said is very possible, because I can feel that the source of the sun seems to overlap with the goal we are looking for this time.” Nora simply perceives the surrounding environment and said, at the same time showing her face. A serious look.
“But this also represents a possibility that I don’t know the good or the bad, that is, the ancient **** of death should know the existence of these things, and we may need his permission to obtain this thing.”
