Chapter 169 Inside the Royal Court (Monday Pass)
The two human-shaped skeletons were no more than 1.9 meters and the other was no more than 1.8 meters. They looked ordinary, but they brought an unimaginable impact to Klein on the gray fog.
At this moment, he seemed to be back at the time when he witnessed the Light Gate and the "Cocoon". Although his emotions were different, there was almost no difference in shock.
"This, this is not the corpse of a giant... This definitely belongs to humans... Are the parents of giant king Ormeer? "King Klein's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he wanted to see it more clearly.
But no matter how he observed or looked at it, it was difficult to find the characteristics of the giant from the two gray skeletons:
Their limbs are proportional to normal, and their skulls have two eye sockets. They are definitely not underage giants!
After a brief silence, Klein lowered his hand holding the "Sea God's Scepter" again, and thoughts flashed through his mind:
"Maybe it's not a bloody parent... Maybe, the origin of the giant's ancestor, the giant's origin is human... In the first period of chaos and madness, some humans merged with extraordinary characteristics, and became cruel, bloodthirsty, irrational giants but with reproductive instincts? On the one hand, their descendants inherited physical characteristics, and on the other hand, they gradually regained their spiritual normality, so they stabilized the alien race that was savage and bloody. In this, the giant king Ormeer was the first batch of mutants, but to some extent retained a certain degree of reason, so they became an ancient god? The source of all this is really like myths and legends, and was the original Creator?
After his thoughts settled into speculation, Klein had more doubts while thinking:
"Why did the Giant King classify the 'Decay Forest' as a forbidden place and not allow any creature to enter?
“He does not want the source of the giant to be known?
"But if this is the case, just cremate the corpse of my parents directly. There is no need to be so troublesome... And, what's going on with that strong sense of guilt?
"Who opened that tomb? The ancient sun god who killed the Giant King? The surviving "God of Dawn" Badhael or other Giant King's Court follower?
"Also, since the ancestor of giants is humans, what about human-shaped extraordinary creatures such as elves and blood clans? The ancestor of giant dragons is actually lizards?
"In the early and mid-stage period of the Second Era, are there any factors that have different sources of confrontation between humanoid camps and alien camps?"
Due to insufficient clues and information, Klein was unable to make any judgment and could not think of more possibilities. He had to forcefully restrain his thoughts and put his attention back to the Silver City Exploration Team.
At this time, the "Demon Hunter" Colin led Lovia, Derrick and others to reach the front of the stone tablet and saw the corpse in the tomb.
They also fell into indescribable silence, and no one spoke for a while.
Finally, Joshua, wearing red gloves, asked hesitantly:
"Is this the Giant King's parents?"
In the eyes of this "Dawn Knight" in Silver City, the height of the two corpses is not as tall as a giant, and it is even worse than when he first became an adult.
If it is a young giant, its body proportions and facial features do not match.
Joshua's question echoed around him, and no one answered it for a moment.
After several seconds, the "Demon Hunter" Colin slowly spoke:
"So it's the secret."
He did not mention his own ideas or guesses.
"... Does this mean that the giant is actually a branch of human beings, and is the differentiation caused by extraordinary traits?" Antiarna, with burgundy hair, said thoughtfully when she heard this.
The ancestor of the giant is human? Derrick was a little dizzy when he was shocked by this, and he always felt that there was a big difference between the two.
As soon as he changed his mind, he thought of his lost companions, especially those who were "giants", and vaguely believed that this possibility was not impossible.
——Those out of control often become extremely huge, with all skin color dyed gray and blue, huge gaps in the middle of the eyebrows, sucking the eyes on both sides.
"Maybe." Colin responded briefly.
The members of the Silver City Exploration Squad fell silent again.
In such an atmosphere, Derick glanced at the elder Lovia of the Shepherd and found that the member of the "Six-Personal Committee" had a calm face, neither calm nor dazed.
At this time, "Demon Hunter" Colin looked around and said:
"Taking two to three people as a group, searching for the surrounding area to see if there are any other gains."
The exploration team immediately came to their senses and began to explore carefully as the chief's instructions.
Unfortunately, this "declined forest" has nothing valuable except trees, stone tablets and tombs.
Without delaying any more, Derik and Heinm exchanged sealed items on their bodies to prevent their extraordinary characteristics from being discharged from the "Darkless Cross".
Then, they followed the "demon hunter" Colin, walked out of the "decay forest", walked around a huge rock protruding on the mountain wall, and found the huge cave that was thirty meters high.
Outside the cave, there was originally a stone tablet, but it had collapsed and weeds grew.
The orange-red dusk light shines, and this is an indescribable sense of decline and decline.
Entering the cave, the Silver City Exploration Team walked between the withered weeds and rough gravel along the weathered stone slabs and peeling murals, exploring forward with great vigilance.
Every step they take, they feel that their lives are declining and the water is constantly passing.
I don’t know how long it took, the exploration team of the Silver City finally saw an open gray-blue door.
On both sides of the gate were scattered with iron-black fragments, which seemed to belong to some kind of armor.
"There should be a guard here." "The Demon Hunter" Colin said briefly, took out a bottle of potion, and drank it on Guru.
His light blue eyes quickly dyed a layer of dark yellow, and two complex dark green symbols were highlighted in his pupils.
After carefully observing the gray-blue gate for a while, he nodded and walked into the dark hall.
After everyone passed through the gate, the hall seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and climbed up quickly in the clanging sound.
More than ten seconds later, the hall stopped moving up, and a magnificent palace supported by stone pillars appeared outside the door, which seemed to be the residence of the guards.
Derrick subconsciously watched from side to side, his eyes swept across the various things in the hall, and saw two murals with ancient characteristics.
The protagonist of a mural is a giant wearing silver full-body armor, emitting obvious light, and a dark cloud of eyes condensed. In the center of another picture, a female giant with long dark brown hair and long skirt under the leather armor stands sideways. She holds wheat ears, fruits and other things, surrounded by harvest fields, clear lake water, fruits and bright mushrooms.
"God of Morning" Bad Hale... "Goddess of Harvest" Omibella...Derick had some clarity and nodded with a very small amplitude.
He then withdrew his gaze and saw the chief staring at the mural representing the "Goddess of Harvest", with his expression remaining as calm as before.
The chief was hoping that Silver City could have a real "harvest"? Derik thoughtfully, and as he followed the instructions of the elder Lovia of the "Shepherd" and formed a team with others to loot valuable items here and check whether there were hidden passages.
About seven or eight minutes later, they gathered together and followed Chief Colin Iliad to the gate of the temple.
Colin Iliad inserted two straight swords into the gap in the stone slab in front of him, stretched out his hands and pressed them on both sides of the door. With just a force, it opened its voice heavily.
The orange-red and gorgeous dusk light shone silently. The palaces that the exploration team of the Silver City had seen from afar, the towers reflected their eyes in an extremely impactful manner.
That huge, magnificent, and epic mythological sense, because the distance was closer, became more vivid and shocking, making everyone subconsciously hold their breath, forget about others, and immersed in such a scenery.
The same is true for Klein above the grey mist.
This is the royal court belonging to the giant clan.
This is the true kingdom of God.
After about ten seconds, the "Demon Hunter" Colin drew his two swords, half turned his body, and said to the "Shepherd" Lovia:
"I can't see clearly when trying the roads on both sides."
Two dark green symbols in his eyes were slowly dissipating.
Luo Weiya said "yes", stepped forward two steps and arrived at the door.
Outside is a platform with steps on both sides. A guardrail formed by gray and white stone pillars is erected in front of it. It is facing the tallest building in the area. There is a giant blue-gray gate. There seems to be countless mysterious symbols engraved on both sides, which are extremely solemn.
Corridors, stairs and other things connect layered palaces and towers, which are grand and gorgeous.
Luo Weiya's slightly curly silver-gray hair floated up, and the stones bathed in the dusk light raised up, forming a gray-white doll.
The doll has no spirituality, like a manipulated puppet, stepping to the left.
It followed the steps, in the rich orange-red light, down layer by layer, helping the exploration team confirm the situation.
Suddenly, its body stopped, and fine silver light burst out from the inside, turning it into countless pieces.
"Shepherd" Lovia was not frightened. Following the steps just now, she made another stone man and asked it to go to the right.
This time, the stone man walked to the end of the stairs and stayed at the door of the palace below. No accidents occurred on the way.
"Demon Hunter" Colin focused on watching the whole process, and only spoke at this time:
"Let's go to the right, but be careful."
Although he did not test any danger, the fact that he could not see the actual situation with his extraordinary ability can explain many problems.
With such a reminder, Derrick and others became more and more tense, and the three of them started to slowly decline in groups of helping each other.
As he walked along the high stairs, Joshua, wearing red gloves, suddenly heard a slight sound coming from behind him.
It's like there's someone following them slowly, quietly.
The "shepherd" elder Lovia behind them was at the side at this time, and she could see from the corner of her eyes that the footsteps were definitely not made by her.
Joshua felt cold and said in a deep voice:
"There are footsteps behind me."
Lovia turned her head and let the silver knight figure about five meters appear in front of her, looking at Joshua's back with her red flame-like eyes.
After a few seconds of quiet, the "Shepherd" elder shook his head:
“Nothing.”
