Chapter 271 Olaf's Great Pyramid
The facts are slightly different from Qi Tian's speculation.
In fact, Gao Fei read the file three times in the prologue of "The Prince's Revenge" and missed out on the reward feat. However, he accidentally triggered a side mission on Turtle Island and got a hidden reward "Iron Will", and then he managed to collect 7 rewards. Expertise.
As for Jiang Feng, he truly and completely penetrated the monk module "The Foreigner of the Vast Sea" without missing any bonus feats.
Compared with the reward expertise, the indicator that better reflects the true level of Gao Fei and Jiang Feng is the reward profession.
The fault tolerance rate of this indicator is even lower. As long as you load the file once, the reward career in this chapter will be gone.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both took all the reward professions in their respective modules. If Qi Tian knew about this, I'm afraid he would be even more shocked.
After the team was assembled, Gao Fei briefly introduced Qitian's thieves to Sister Eve and the two Bear Warriors.
Let’s just say that this boy from Charles is an old friend of Master Su. He traveled to the New World by boat from the East. He passed by Parthian Island and met an old friend in a tavern, so he invited him to join the team and use his thieving skills to help everyone explore the king’s kingdom. Mausoleum.
I have to say, NPCs are easy to fool!
Eve, Al, and Ush actually believed this rhetoric that was full of flaws, and enthusiastically accepted this new teammate.
Everyone had breakfast in the tavern, bought enough dry food, drinking water and camping supplies, and then got on their horses and set off.
The tomb of King Karl Olaf is located deep in a sheltered canyon in the middle of the island.
Gao Fei and others rode at high speed on the desolate Gobi Desert all morning, and it was not until the sun was high that they arrived at the canyon where the royal tomb was located.
Everyone dismounted at the mouth of the canyon and looked into the depths of the canyon. Two towering cliffs extended to the end of the field of vision.
Deep in the dim canyon, a majestic pyramid towers high.
Different from the style of the Egyptian pyramids envisioned by Gao Fei, the mausoleum built by the Asa people for their late kings is more similar to the Mayan style pyramid. The longitudinal section is trapezoidal, surrounded by tall and progressive steps, and the steps on all four sides converge together. At the top of the pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid, there is not a spire like the Egyptian pyramids, but a stone platform ten meters square.
What's even weirder is that the platform is surrounded by a parapet. From such a distance, Gao Fei can clearly see the crenellations and arrow holes on the parapet. So is this a mausoleum or a fortress?
It’s really confusing!
Gao Fei couldn't restrain his curiosity, so he used an astrolabe energy to remotely detect Olaf's Great Pyramid.
Counting from the base of the tower to the top of the tower, there are a total of forty-nine stepped platforms with a vertical height of nearly one hundred meters. Using a real-world architectural analogy, it is equivalent to a 30-story apartment building.
Even considering that the power of magic was used when building this pyramid, we must admit that this is a massive man-made miracle, which can be called the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Asa civilization.
There are nine roads in the canyon connected to the outside world, each connecting the nine portals into King Olaf's Tomb.
The nine roads seemed to have no difference, but according to the tomb passage map provided by the dwarf artificer Joseph Cooper, Gao Fei learned that most of the roads lead to fake tombs in the old mystery formation, or lead to death traps.
There are only three passages to reach the real burial place of King Olaf, and the one they will choose for this trip is the nearest and safest shortcut.
So, which of the three correct paths is the shortcut?
This question itself is wrong. If you continue to explore along this line of thinking, you will definitely go astray!
In fact, the shortcut is not among the nine roads on the surface. A very secret mechanism must be triggered to open it.
As for opening the shortcut, it doesn't matter which path you choose.
Gao Fei randomly chose the nearest road and rode into the valley.
The narrow mountain road is sandwiched between steep cliffs and almost buried in sand. Occasionally, gray cacti and pale human and animal skeletons can be seen on the roadside.
The strong wind poured in from the mouth of the valley and whistled along the cliff. The sound of the wind in my ears was like thousands of dead souls crying, which made people feel inexplicably depressed.
Walking along the valley to the end, we took a close look at the Great Pyramid of Olaf. Everyone reined in the reins and looked up at this ancient building that had been eroded by wind and sand but still stood. They couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
The silence lasted for a long time. Gao Fei was the first to come to his senses, dismounted and walked towards the entrance of the nearby mausoleum.
Jiang Feng, Qi Tian, Eve and others also followed.
Twelve rock pillars stand on both sides of the entrance to the mausoleum. Obsidian monster sculptures squatting on the pillars have ferocious faces, horns on their heads, and a pair of dark wings spread out behind them. At first glance, they look like a group of devils, but they are actually common decorations in ancient buildings. .
"Huh? These rock pillars seem to be equipped with mechanisms."
Qi Tian's eyes shone, and he took out the thieves' tools from his bag, intending to study the hidden mechanisms on the rock pillars.
"Xiaotian, don't touch those stone pillars!"
Gao Fei quickly stopped him.
"Uncle Joseph's tomb passage map is specially marked here. As soon as outsiders approach the stone pillars, the gargoyles squatting on the pillars will be awakened, swoop down from the air, and attack the outsiders crazily."
"I knew there was something wrong with these gargoyles!" Jiang Feng muttered in a low voice.
"Brother Basaka, it is said that gargoyles are earth elemental creatures. When they are still, they look exactly like ordinary stone statues. Can we smash the statues of the gargoyles before they wake up? This way Can't we avoid a battle?" Eve asked.
Gao Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Gargoyles are mausoleum guards created by magic. In the state of stone statues, their defense is incredibly high. With our current level, it is almost impossible to destroy them with one blow. Whenever one gargoyle is attacked, the other eleven gargoyles will be destroyed." They will wake up immediately and launch a siege on us."
Jiang Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to ask Qi Tian: "Xiaotian, your revolver is more destructive than the sword. It can shoot the gargoyles from a distance invisiblely. Taking into account the 4d6 sneak attack damage, is there any chance that you can kill the gargoyles in one shot?" ghost?"
"Sister Feng! When I hear what you say, I know you don't understand the thieves profession well enough!" Qi Tian replied gloomily, "Among the types of enemies I hate most, elemental creatures rank in the top six, second only to plants. , oozes, undead, constructs and incorporeal creatures!”
"These six creatures cannot be attacked by sneak attack?"
"That's right, they don't have flesh and blood, and there are no fatal wounds on their bodies. They are naturally immune to heavy blows and sneak attacks. When thieves encounter these six kinds of monsters, it is best to take a detour!"
