Struggle in the Steam Age

After rushing through the blood-red stone gate of the pyramid, what appeared in front of Lawrence was a pitted stone hole. From the two sides of the wall, it can be seen from the stone sections on both sides of the wall that this hole should be a dynamic hole that was forcibly punched out of the wall when Scarlet Sky couldn't find the entrance to the pyramid.

After walking about ten meters inside, the surrounding environment immediately became dark, and Lawrence also felt that the road under his feet was much smoother. Through eyes with dark vision, he found that he appeared in a corridor made entirely of huge stone blocks, and the stone blocks were not connected with any cement or mortar.

Considering that the number of jackals I saw along the way just now is not very large, and the tools used are mostly stone and wood, and there are even few metal tools. Therefore, some extraordinary power must have been used in the construction of this pyramid. The local population and the tools they used were absolutely impossible to build.

The falling of the warriors standing at the entrance of the tent quickly aroused the vigilance of other patrols. Just ten seconds after Lawrence entered the corridor, he heard shouts and chaotic footsteps coming from the entrance of the corridor.

But it may be because this place is a forbidden place for those jackals, so those jackals just stood at the door and yelled loudly. Lawrence was relieved that no one dared to enter the stone door or throw bows and javelins in.

Although he is not afraid of those jackals at the gate who can only rely on brute force, and even with his ability, he can get out of the more than 1,000 guards in the circle of the city wall unscathed, but he can kill them when it is not necessary. It is always good to reduce innocent casualties.

After turning a corner, the noise behind him also slowly disappeared. And Lawrence began to observe the interior of the pyramid with great interest.

This is a very rare opportunity. After all, after the destruction of the Nile civilization in this world, the kings of the ancient Nile civilization who should have rested in peace rose up under the pollution of various filthy and chaotic atmospheres, and then formed an extreme evil forces. The pyramids built there have also become the bases of the dead known as the Tomb Kings, and even the Nile River, the source of the ancient Nile civilization, has changed from the river of life in the past to the river of danger now.

This also makes almost no one among the living intelligent creatures have seen the interior of the top ancient Nile pyramid. Today, there are only a few pyramids near the port of Iskandar that everyone can visit up close, but those pyramids are at best second-rate in the ancient Nile civilization.

So, after Lawrence noticed that some colored bas-reliefs began to appear on the corridor, he immediately summoned the book charm from a book in his waist pocket and let it float behind him to record the patterns on both sides of the corridor.

"Oh, great master! This is really some precious information." After the book charm came out, he also saw the patterns on the walls on both sides, "Sure enough, as long as I follow in your footsteps, I can continue to obtain all kinds of precious knowledge -"

Listening to Shumei's exaggerated flattery behind him, Lawrence felt that his depressed mood due to the small space in the corridor gradually became more relaxed. Then he walked forward and scanned the murals on both sides of the road.

Because the people from Scarlet Sky did not destroy the surrounding murals, Lawrence was able to see the original appearance of the murals in the ancient Nile era. The content of these murals and colorful bas-reliefs is not the serious content related to the gods as imagined, but some pictures that look very warm.

For example, there is a mural that shows a group of jackals standing under the vines harvesting grapes, while several other jackals are standing next to them in a special space to trample on these grapes to extract grape juice. On the wall opposite to this picture, there are a large number of patterns of jackals harvesting wheat with tools in their hands. In short, the paintings here are some pictures of the production and life of ordinary people who look very warm.

The internal structure of this hill-like pyramid is completely different from the pyramid in Lawrence's previous life. There is not only a single passage in it, but a complex tunnel system like a spider's web.

The only thing worth congratulating is that it may be because this is a very sacred place that is not suitable for placing any dangerous things, or it may be that the people from Scarlet Sky have already explored the way once when they came in. So Lawrence didn't encounter any dangerous traps on the road.

After he walked cautiously along the main road for more than 20 minutes, he found himself in front of a stone gate. There is a human-shaped groove on each of the two gates of the stone gate, which looks like the gap left by something that walked down the gate before.

"It looks a bit like the legendary Corpse Puppet Servant." The book charm who floated over at this time felt it close to the two grooves and said, "We should be glad that the corpse leader here no longer exists, because the last The weak god-serving corpse puppets are all expert-level, and the aura left in this groove-is likely to be hero-level."

"How do you know this?" Lawrence turned his head to look at the book charm and asked, "Have you read any books on this topic before, or have you met someone who has researched this topic?"

"All of them." The book charm said after walking around Lawrence playfully, "Although my former master was an ordinary person, he was also a researcher of the ancient Nile civilization. Even me and him I went into a pyramid near the port of Iskander and investigated together. So I still have some understanding of this aspect.”

"For example, the corpse puppets of the ancient Nile civilization are all products of the gods, and they are all made by the most steadfast believers of these gods." In the dim stone hall in front of this gate, Shumei used his The childlike voice spoke of a piece of knowledge that even modern people would find extremely weird.

"The predecessors of the corpse puppets must all be superhumans who believe in these ancient Nile gods, and at the same time reach the level of a master. Before they die, these superhumans will make great wishes and are willing to dedicate everything to their gods."

"After making this decision, only part of the souls of these believer volunteers will enter the kingdom of the gods they believe in, while the other part of the souls without self will be sealed in their corpses, and then go through A series of magical rituals eventually turned into a samurai corpse."

"These corpse puppets were extremely powerful for the church and the gods in that era. They were often used in some important battles. Of course, they were also used to guard some important positions. And because these corpse puppets are usually in The consumption is extremely small in a static state, so now you can occasionally encounter them when exploring the ruins of the ancient Nile civilization."

"It turns out that this is how the God-Serving Corpse Puppet looks like." After listening to the explanation, Lawrence nodded. After obtaining the permission, Lawrence also read a lot of internal documents of the church in St. Gutenberg Cathedral, and the documents did mention Ancient Nero's servant puppet. It's just that the description of this kind of thing is limited to size, level and ability. Did not say their origin.

So after hearing how this kind of thing was made, Lawrence said that his three views were greatly shocked. After all, among the current Orthodox churches, basically no church has this habit.

Although the Church of Death is still using similar corpse puppets, they only use the remains of believers or enemies in the church, and it has nothing to do with souls.

It was great news to Lawrence that the corpse puppet servant was not here, but the problem now was that after trying, he found that the stone door in front of him could not be pushed open.

"Master, let's find out if there are any other paths for the original servants in the pyramid." Seeing that Lawrence failed to open the stone door after several attempts, the book charm retrieved the knowledge stored in her body proposed to Lawrence.
