Chapter 822: Temple of Immortality

Latest website: The wizard who claimed to be Haiya Puli invited the envoys of the Golden Heaven to go to the Temple of Immortality, the center of power in Qarth, which can also be called the Temple of Immortality or the Temple of Dust.

As Xu Ying learned from the mission, the nominal rulers of Qarth are the royal family here, the descendants of the king and queen of Ancient Qarth, who live in a palace called the 'Hall of a Thousand' .

However, similar to many city-states, the power of the royal family of Qarth was consumed in infighting, and merchants with many wealth took advantage of it to take the power of Qarth.

They were called the 'Thirteen Giants', the 'Ancient Spice Guild' and the 'Tourmaline Brotherhood', and they also fought each other. Strictly speaking, no one was the true ruler of Qarth, it was an oligarchic city-state. .

But all this has changed when the tide of magic recovery is getting stronger and stronger. The power of the wizards is recovering rapidly, and all those who have shamed the wizard are now cursed.

Then, when the long night suddenly fell and the whole world fell into darkness, the wizard completely ruled the city-state. The royal family of Qarth, the Thirteen Giants, the Ancient Spice Guild, etc. did not dare to disobey the wizard's will, what they said No one dared to ignore it, and was even scorned as 'bones and lies'.

And the royal family of Qarth all bowed their heads and accepted their fate. As an outsider, Xu Ying naturally knew the truth of strong dragons and snakes. Although he was the messenger of the Golden Heaven, people in a foreign country are now shrouded in long nights, even if they die here, no one will be there. Avenge yourself.

Therefore, in the face of Haiya Puli's 'invitation', although he rationally felt that this immortal temple should not be a good place, he did not dare to refuse directly, so he could only bite the bullet and decide to act accordingly.

Xu Ying agreed to the invitation of the wizard Haiya Puli, and then they and the others entered the city through the port of Qarth.

This city is very prosperous, with countless slender spires towering high, and squares of many sizes. Although the whole world is now plunged into darkness, the prosperous city of Qarth is like a city that never sleeps, everywhere. Still brightly lit.

Each square has exquisite fountains in the shape of griffins, dragons and manticores. The people of Qarth are still living their lives step by step. There is no panic of the long night falling, and there is no such thing as the fall of the central part of Essos. The miserable scenes outside many cities that have not been occupied are as if there were no natural or man-made disasters.

Because the wizard gave them the promise that no matter what happened to the world, the Immortals would protect the city.

The Long Night is just one stage in the world's largest magical tidal wave.

Across the city is a huge arcade street where the city's ancient heroes stand on white and green marble columns three times the size of life.

Xu Ying and others took the lead through a bronze arch carved in the shape of a double snake. The scales of the snake are exquisite jadeite, obsidian and lapis lazuli, and then came to a gray ancient building ruins.

It was long and low, without towers or windows, like a giant stone snake coiled in a forest of black bark with dark blue leaves, black tiles covering the roof of the great hall, many of which were fallen or broken, stone The plaster between the blocks is also mostly dry and crumbled.

"here it is..."

The embassy of the Golden Heaven Dynasty was not only Xu Ying alone. Among the embassy sent by Emperor Buhai, there were also many Yidu officials who had no power, but the backbone was still from the scout captain of the fifth base defender, and The other party was also invited by the wizards.

Everyone looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Xu Ying, and Xu Ying was also a little stressed, but Haiya Puli seemed to see his doubts and nodded seriously.

"This is the Temple of Immortality."

"However, those who come to the Temple of Immortality to seek the reception of the Immortal must abide by a rule."

Haiya Puli's pale face was looming under the firelight, with a standard smile on her face, but this smile made the other party's heart even more uneasy.

"That is to drink this cup of 'Water of Night Shadow'."

"Because only in this way can you feel the 'truth and wisdom' that is unfolding before you."

Haiya Puli did not wait for Xu Ying to ask about the rules for entering the Temple of Immortality, nor did he wait for the other party to ask if he could not enter, but spoke bluntly.

Because he was the one whom the Immortals called to meet, and the Immortals had told him a few days earlier that a fleet from the East was about to arrive in Qarth, and the Immortals asked Haiya Puri to take the person in charge of the ship. bring.

Haiya Puli turned around and took a thick blue drink from the servant behind him, said to be made from leaves from the black woods next to the Temple of Immortality, and handed it over.

The messenger of the Golden Celestial Dynasty took the cup of dark blue and thick drink with a slightly strange expression on his face.

Because blue food can make people feel psychologically uncomfortable anyway, and the night shadow water is dark blue, as thick as honey when it flows, and its smell is disgusting, like the smell of ink and carrion superimposed.

But Xu Ying couldn't do anything better. He took this glass of water of the night shadow, and both the wizard Haiya Puli and his servants looked at him with bright eyes.

It seems that he has no way to refuse, let alone escape, so he can only bite the bullet and drink it, and pray that this disgusting night shadow water is not poisonous.

"That's it."

goo-

The messenger from Yidi plucked up the courage to raise his head and drank this cup of night shadow water.

However, the taste of drinking is not the taste he imagined.

After swallowing the water of night shadow, its aftertaste is like the superposition of all the tastes the drinker has tasted, and it is more than that. Its taste seems to change with each swallow, sometimes bitter, sometimes sour, Sometimes sweet.

Xu Ying drank the water of the night shadow, and the pale wizard Haiya Puli and the servants behind him showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Very good, UU reading www.uukanshu.com you can enter the Temple of Immortality."

"But you have to be alone."

The rule for visiting the Temple of Immortality is to drink the water of the night shadow, and the visitor must enter alone, the front door can enter but not exit, there will be four doors when entering the temple, the one who just entered and the other three.

To find the Immortal, the visitor must always go up, always go to the door on the right, the door of the house is sometimes open, and there are all kinds of strange sights in the house, either in the past, or not yet, or not even happening, some beautiful , some terrifying, some surprising, some terrifying.

"You must not enter any room other than the ones on the far right before reaching the Immortal's room!"

"If you want to come out, you have to follow the same rules!"

And when it was mentioned that these rules were the wizard's tone, he couldn't help but become stricter.

Because these are taboos in the Temple of Immortality, otherwise no one knows what will happen.
