Struggle in the Steam Age

According to the knowledge stored by the book charm, in the pyramids of the ancient Nile civilization, this kind of gate located on the main corridor in the pyramid was prepared for gods and senior priests. According to the personality of the earliest builder and owner of the pyramid, Harpy, it can be inferred that this door cannot be opened until it reaches the hero level.

Lawrence was not the kind of stubborn guy, so after hearing Shumei's proposal to him and carefully judging the situation he was facing now, he quickly gave up his plan to open the door in front of him. However, he also found some traces on the ground near this door. It seems that the person in Scarlet Sky was strong enough back then, and he should have entered directly from the main entrance.

After simply searching around, Lawrence found a hidden revolving door by identifying the hieroglyphs on the wall in a place that looked like a utility room not far from this door. Behind the revolving door is a hidden passage for the servants.

This kind of secret passage is much smaller than the previous main corridor, and at the same time, the passage used by the servants is naturally at the bottom of the priority in construction. Therefore, when Lawrence walked in this passage, he found that the passage was left and right, up and down, and sometimes he had to bend over or even crawl through some narrow holes. After all, this passage has to make way for basically all other passages in the entire pyramid, so sometimes it seems very sloppy.

Fortunately, Lawrence can scout for himself by summoning the fire poisonous bee and the stinging hummingbird one after the other, so even in such a passage, he can see the road ahead and keep moving at a certain speed.

There were several rough-looking rooms on the side of this road. Lawrence took the book charm to choose a room and walked in, only to see some pottery urns placed on the floor of the room against the wall. Several wooden boards were nailed to it as a shelf, and some dark things were placed on it.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some bread on the shelves that has been sitting for too long and has been carbonized with a lot of honey. And those urns are mainly some wine that has completely dried up." Make sure there is no danger in this house Afterwards, the book charm quickly floated in and stretched out her tentacles to perceive these things.

"In other words, it is likely that the tributes dedicated to the gods were placed in it." After hearing what the book charm said, Lawrence made a rough judgment. After all, both bread with honey and wine were obviously enjoyed by the upper class in that era, and the most reasonable explanation for putting it in this place is that it is a warehouse for storing sacrifices.

Other rooms were similarly furnished with linen or other offerings that had been reduced to ashes. Lawrence did not find the dormitory for the servants here, which means that there is a high probability that the servants were only allowed to enter this pyramid to serve in the past, but they were not allowed to live here because their status was too low.

This is not good news, because if the owner of the pyramid really values ​​identity so much. Then the possibility of the servant being allowed to enter the core area of ​​the pyramid is very small. In other words, this road is likely to end in some kind of checkpoint.

After entering this servant passage for more than ten minutes, the stinging hummingbird who was exploring the way ahead found that this road has come to an end, and behind another revolving door at the end of the road is a utility room like the entrance .

Going out through the main door of the utility room, Lawrence found himself back on the main corridor inside the pyramid. Follow the main corridor for less than 20 meters. A space about the size of an ordinary living room appeared in front of him.

The space is surrounded by flat walls, floors and ceilings made of stone. It's just that unlike the main corridor, there are no pictures around this room, and it looks bare.

On the wall facing the main corridor is a stone gate, and on the ground three to four meters in front of the stone gate, a stone platform that reaches the height of a person's waist is placed there.

"This seems to be an altar." After walking to the stone platform and looking around, Lawrence figured out what it was from the hieroglyphs on the side of the stone platform. At the same time, the poetry composed of these words also let Lawrence know how to open the door in front of him.

It may be due to the self-confidence of the gods, there are no magic traps here. Even the way to open the door is too simple: as long as there are sacrifices, the door in front of you will naturally open after receiving enough sacrifices.

However, when Lawrence approached the altar, the extraordinary perception ability endowed by Bai Ze's blood made him smell a little bit of extremely faint bloody smell. In the ancient Nilotic culture, sacrifices to the god of the river and the god of abundance did not require anything related to blood. Reminiscing that the Scarlet Sky had entered here before, he cautiously released a [identification technique] on the altar in front of him.

[The Altar of the God of Habi, after offering sacrifices, it can open the door to the core area of ​​the pyramid. But this altar was once modified by the members of Scarlet Sky, and only the sacrifices and blood, darkness, or power related to death can open the door in front of it. If sacrifices of other powers are used, the power behind the gate will counterattack. 】

"It's treacherous." Lawrence murmured softly after seeing the feedback, because the entire road ahead from the entrance to here was very normal without any traps. Therefore, most people may relax their vigilance when they come here, and choose to sacrifice according to the method of offering sacrifices to the Harbi God. And in this way, they will fall into the trap of the bloody sky.

"The requirements of this sacrifice—I seem to have a sacrifice that meets this requirement." Thinking of this, Lawrence opened his space pocket and searched for it. Soon he found more than a dozen of them from a lead box in his pocket. Black translucent crystals of various sizes.

"I remember I took this." Lawrence murmured softly after seeing the demonized coal spirits brought out from the coal mine last time. "Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for me to find something that doesn't match my attributes."

After speaking, he took a step forward and put the demonized coal essence in his hand on the altar, in order to avoid waste due to insufficient offerings. Lawrence simply put the box of enchanted coal essence on the altar, and then sent some magic power into the altar. In an instant, a golden flame ignited on the altar, and those demonized coal spirits melted on the flame like ice and snow.

Lawrence, who knew the situation in advance, quickly sensed a cold power contained in the seemingly sacred golden flame in front of him through deliberate perception. Fortunately, this cold power was perfectly integrated into the golden flame after being adjusted by the members of Scarlet Sky. In the middle of the flames, when the enchanted coal essence on the altar was consumed to only 1/5 of the original amount, the door in front of him opened.

After taking a pityful look at the enchanted coal spirits still burning in the golden flames, Lawrence turned and walked into the stone door opened in front of him.

After entering the stone gate, there was another passage, but this time at both ends of the passage, there were a pair of mummies of jackals with spears and bandages on their bodies every ten meters or so. When Lawrence stepped through the door, the mummies all came to life and turned their heads towards Lawrence.

"This is terrible." The book charm, who wanted to show her loyalty, immediately hid behind Lawrence. At the same time, Lawrence noticed that its body made of mist flickered rapidly, as if it was shivering.

"Then go and hide in the space bag first!" Lawrence said as he untied the opening of the space bag at his waist with one hand, and raised the other hand to face the mummy closest to him and released the [Strike Undead] ] This magic.

According to his thinking, this magic is only suitable for testing the strength of the mummies on the opposite side. But what he didn't expect was that after the pale ray hit the mummy, the mummy stopped immediately, and at the same time, green flames emitted from the gaps in the bandages.

"This is?" Seeing the mummy in front of him burn to a pile of ashes in a few seconds, Lawrence showed a puzzled look on his face.
