Chapter 318: The Path of Golden Light
The mages had a strong sense of strange objects. When they came to the stone platform, the first thing they saw were the two sun disks embedded in the stone wall. However, what caught their attention was the coffin.
The outer part was cut by bluestone, but the inner part was made of gold!
“Strange object!”
They immediately came to a conclusion.
However, they couldn’t suppress the shock in their eyes. “It’s… Such a huge strange object!”
The 18 mages walked over quickly. The two-meter-tall coffin was obviously taller than them, but they still found some broken stones and tiptoed to observe the coffin. Their eyes were s.h.i.+ning.
Kant also walked over. Seeing the mages discussing in low voices, he nodded and asked, “What did you find? Is this coffin also a strange object?”
“That’s right, it’s a strange object!”
The mages answered affirmatively, “The Golden Coffin inside is the biggest strange object we found!”
However, there was still a different voice among them, with a hint of shock, they said, “This coffin contains extremely powerful positive energy. Although it’s dimmed due to the pa.s.sage of time and cannot be replenished, the remaining positive energy is still several times denser than the sun disk that has been appraised!”
“This strange object… No, it can’t simply be called a strange object. It’s even possible that it’s a divine artifact. We’ve sensed the rich positive energy in it. It’s really too shocking. It’s really a divine artifact!”
The mages discussed animatedly.
Kant raised his eyebrows slightly. The term ‘divine artifact’ was too shocking.
He gently held the hilt of the sword by his waist. This Sword of King could be called a divine artifact. In reality, it was a weapon that belonged to a king. Its symbolic meaning was more important than its actual meaning. The only powerful thing it had was to confer the t.i.tle of a Royal Knight to a soldier.
Conferred the t.i.tle of countless Royal Knights with extraordinary powers. This attribute could be called a divine artifact!
But the coffin in front of him.
Kant was puzzled and could not help but ask with a frown, “Why can it be called a divine artifact?”
“It contains powerful and pure positive energy. In our perception, it has already surpa.s.sed all the items in our impression. Even the Enfath Empire does not have anything that can compare to it. This coffin being called a divine artifact is completely reasonable!”
The mages finally confirmed and gave a conclusion. “It’s a divine artifact!”
At this moment.
A dialog box appeared in Kant’s vision.
[ Ding… Special Quest issued ]
[ Special Quest: The beginning of divine artifact ]
[ Reward: Extraordinary ]
[ Introduction: Your mages have sensed that this coffin is extraordinary. After careful study, they have come to the conclusion that this is a divine artifact that is covered in dust. You plan to try to study this coffin and perhaps obtain an extraordinary power. ]
[ Remark: Please come into contact with this coffin. The system will a.n.a.lyze it on its own. ]
On his retina, a dialog box popped up.
Special Quest from the system.
Kant was slightly stunned. Ever since he had obtained a powerful faction, the system had not given him a quest for a long time. At this moment, a special quest popped up, causing him to be slightly stunned. However, he still clenched his fists tightly.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity given by the system!
Extraordinary.
This was the reward given by the system for the mission.
Even though he did not know what this was, based on the words, it was definitely related to a higher level of power!
Moreover, the requirements for the mission were not high. Even the system had already given him a remark. As long as he touched the coffin, the system would automatically a.n.a.lyze it. It could be said that completing this mission was very simple!
“Guard the surroundings.”
Kant turned his head and ordered the knights around him.
“Yes!”, the Lion Knights immediately replied.
With the light sound of unsheathing his sword, Kant walked over and stood on the stone that was raised high. Looking at the golden coffin in the inner layer, he did not hesitate to reach out and press on the golden coffin in the inner layer.
A tiny stream of data spread in his palm.
A faint data chain began to spread.
In Kant’s eyes, the golden coffin in front of him was instantly wrapped up by the stream of data that came out from his body. An invisible power rushed out and turned the stone wrapped outside into nothingness.
That’s right, it was nothingness. There wasn’t even any powder left. The stone coffin on the outermost layer seemed to have disappeared into thin air!
An extremely terrifying power was being displayed.
The Golden Coffin finally appeared before Kant’s eyes.
It was about one meter tall, two meters wide, and four meters long. The entire coffin was carved with majestic patterns. The most obvious one was the lost city, or the sacred sun pattern that was unique to the sacred Golden Holy City!
And in the center, there was a blazing sun that looked like the sun at noon!
“Buzz –”
A scorching aura bloomed in the Golden Coffin.
It was as if something was awakening.
The mages outside could not help but take half a step back. They looked at the sudden appearance of the Golden Coffin in shock. Furthermore, under Lord Kant’s touch, more and more positive energy was released!
However, no matter how much positive energy was released, it would not be able to break the seal formed by data.
Kant’s palm was already completely placed on the golden coffin.
The scorching aura made his palm feel as hot as a teapot.
However, he did not dare to let go.
The Golden Coffin in front of him was already emitting streams of light in an attempt to break through the obstruction of the data flow. The scorching aura was really like the scorching sun at noon, making people sweat profusely.
Kant had a vague feeling that if he let go, the power contained in the coffin would immediately explode.
It was like the sun had swooped down.
It would instantly burn any enemy who dared to invade into ashes!
This was the Golden Coffin’s countermeasure.
However, Kant had yet to completely adapt to this sudden heat. A mysterious coolness instantly appeared in his palm. The data flow spread even more rapidly, and the entire Golden Coffin was already wrapped inside, the data chain was tightly wrapped around the coffin, and it even seeped into the interior of the coffin.
The golden light circulating on the coffin seemed to be extremely unwilling, but the data flow was like boiling the frog in warm water. It slowly seeped into the coffin bit by bit, completely penetrating the coffin.
“Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz…”
But suddenly, the golden light struggled even more intensely.
As if sensing the impending doom, it began to struggle crazily, causing the data stream to lose its stability for a moment. It took the opportunity to rush out of a ball of golden light, entering the ancient pa.s.sage at high speed in an attempt to escape.
The golden light was extremely fast.
But the data stream behind it was even faster!
With Kant’s thoughts in mind, it caught up in an instant, entangling the ball of golden light in an attempt to pull it back.
However, because the golden light seemed to be desperate, it could not be pulled back!
As for Kant, his mind was filled with thoughts as the golden light struggled.
Just like the G.o.d’s view that he had encountered when he was building buildings in his castle and town, his mind was filled with thoughts as the golden light burst out, until it followed the golden light and rushed forward!
But he could not see anything.
However, he could feel that a golden light appeared like a path that extended into the distance. Kant’s expression was shocked.
“An ancient pa.s.sage.”
He could not help but mutter to himself.
Although he could not see it, he knew that he could feel that the path formed by the golden light was in fact an ancient pa.s.sage. He had once walked through it and even discovered the path to the underground city of the karst cave!
The golden light was following the direction of the ancient pa.s.sage, from the ruins of the divine temple where he was to the west.
Then it reached the underground city of the karst cave.
The golden light was even more dazzling.
It seemed to be looking for some help, but it found nothing. The data flow seeped even more fiercely, making the golden light more anxious. Then it continued to spread along the ancient pa.s.sage.
In another ancient pa.s.sage in the underground city of the karst cave, it started to spread from north to south.
It was like a 90-degree right angle.
The golden light was still struggling, and the restraint of the data flow became stronger and stronger.
Kant’s thought was also spreading south along with the data flow that was restraining the golden light. Until the end, he seemed to be able to feel that the ancient pa.s.sage had collapsed, but the golden light brought absolute power and broke through the mountain rocks with a bang, a huge hole was blasted out and it rushed out.
A dazzling white light appeared in Kant’s mind. It was the sunlight. He was momentarily stunned. His mind could clearly feel that he was under the rock wall of a river.
He could even faintly sense ten things in the surroundings.
“Sarrandian Hors.e.m.e.n!”
Kant muttered to himself. They were his soldier, but he had suddenly appeared there.
But before he could think about it carefully.
In the end, the golden light seemed to have lost all its power and was pulled back by the data stream attached to it. In less than ten seconds, the golden light and Kant’s thoughts returned together, whistling back into the coffin and his own body.
Kant opened his eyes, and his right hand was placed on the Golden Coffin.
The soldiers beside him were on alert.
The Ravenstern Rangers, the Sarleon Lion Knights, the mages of the Enfath Empire, and the Rhodok civilians were all waiting on the spot, as if they were waiting for Kant’s orders.
Everything seemed to be normal.
On Kant’s retina, a data box instantly popped up.
[ Ding… Through your tireless efforts, the special quest has been completed. ]
[ Special Quest: ‘The beginning of the divine artifact’ has been completed. ]
[ Reward: Extraordinary ]
[ Introduction: You have placed your hand on the coffin. A mysterious power is spreading within it. You are certain that this golden coffin is the coffin that hides the secrets of the G.o.ds. After the system’s a.n.a.lysis, you have obtained a lot of useful information. ]
[ Remark: You have received 100 honor points, 10,000 reputation points, 100,000 denar. ]
The system dialog box disappeared.
The Golden Coffin also disappeared.
However, the soldiers were not surprised by the disappearance of the Golden Coffin. In their eyes, this was the supreme miracle performed by Kant, and it was completely acceptable.
On the contrary, the soldiers all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the ancient pa.s.sage with surprised expressions.
Kant also turned his head over.
His pupils contracted.
In the interior of the ancient pa.s.sage, specks of golden light appeared in the originally dark place. They were like street lamps that lit up the neat and smooth stone pavement, extending from the entrance of the cave to the depths of the invisible pa.s.sage!
