Chapter 22 1.22 Mo Yiquan's Studio
Following the raven all the way, Loki held up a torch and walked quickly through the dark city.
The closer he moved to the city center, the more dead giants he could see.
They died in different ways. Some died on the street with samples in their arms, and some were pierced through the chest by a sword while lying on the windowsill. Even after a thousand years, Loki could still feel the bloody scene of the Qi-refining masters of the pre-Qin period slaughtering foreign residents.
Ask yourself, Loki has killed people before.
But all the killings he caused were for survival.
The living environment in Scandinavia is too harsh. If you want to survive, you either die or I live. There is no third choice.
Throughout Loki's life, he has never killed people simply to satisfy his desire for conquest.
Even if they are not people from Kyushu, they are all killed for the illusory purpose of "I want to live forever, I need to make elixirs".
What does it have to do with you to destroy you?
Even if he has lived two lives, he doesn't know how to answer this question.
The raven flew or stopped, leading him to a palace with complex terrain. In order not to get lost, Loki stopped every few dozen meters to carve a label with the stone axe made by the "bloody creator".
Why did they forge the [Demon Sealing Blade] in Gu Changqing's hand into the shape of his father's axe in his memory? Loki still didn't know the answer to this question. But it is an indisputable fact that this weapon is much more convenient to wield.
But after walking and climbing for hundreds of meters, Loki almost forgot the way he came, because this palace is too huge!
Holding a torch and running in it, he can see that the tall dome of the palace uses Gothic columns, and the slender and towering arched walls are painted with complex murals. Although these murals have become turbid and unclear due to their age, it can still be seen that the red giants spent a lot of effort in building them.
Even thousands of years ago, these outer gods have been on Earth for a long time.
As he continued to run, Loki found that his physical fitness had improved significantly compared to before. After running at high speed for so long, he still didn't feel tired. After turning the last corner, the raven suddenly stopped, and Loki also stopped in his tracks.
He stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes
Just now, all he could see were giants of huge scale, giants' creations, giants' houses, etc.
However, after turning this corner, what was placed in front of him was actually a kerosene lamp commonly used by ordinary humans!
Hesitantly walked to the kerosene lamp, he stretched out his hand to light the lamp oil. He sniffed it closely and found that the lamp oil was filled with bursts of fragrance.
It was completely different from the inferior lamp oil that the Vikings used to smoke at a touch!
Loki frowned.
Thousands of years have passed, and everything in the city of water has been ruthlessly dried into various dry skins by the wind. If this oil lamp came from a thousand years ago, then there is no doubt that the oil in the oil lamp should have become like a dry film, losing all moisture.
However, the standing oil lamp was actually filled with at least half a lamp oil! The wick can even be ignited by rubbing the flint with a big axe!
This lamp is too "new"!
Holding the oil lamp, Loki only felt his hands trembling slightly.
There is only one way to explain the oil lamp in front of him.
That is, this lamp is the personal belongings of "Mo Yiquan", a Tang Dynasty man who drew the "General Map of the World", left in the Sunken City.
This raven, which has saved his life several times, once again led him to find the relics left by Mo Yiquan in the Sunken City!
**
It is rumored that the raven is the messenger of the God King Odin in the mortal world. There are two ravens perched on his shoulders, one can see the past, and the other can see the future.
Now, Loki has completely believed this rumor that sounds full of feudal superstition.
The big raven given to him by "the Universal" Ahai should have the ability to see through the past, so that it can accurately find this oil lamp in such a huge city. Otherwise, Loki himself and his 10 Viking warriors might not be able to find it even after a year of wandering!
Holding an oil lamp, Loki gently pushed open a door of normal size in front of him. Behind the door, he actually saw a hall illuminated by soft light!
The area of this hall is about 700 to 800 square meters.
Three huge cages are evenly placed on the left and right sides of the hall. In each cage, there is a fluorescent jellyfish "Yingzhe" with a shiny skeleton. 6 huge jellyfish float lazily in the cage, and the light they emit makes the whole room look like an incandescent lamp.
Even and white.
The even light in the whole room reflects the workbench in the middle of the house. On the workbench are neatly placed papers, pens, and various gold powders and pigments.
Everything in this house has no sense of age. It is brand new, as if the owner of the room just happened to go out to pick up a takeaway.
Walking into the room, Loki gently reached out and touched the thin layer of dust on the table. Now it is almost certain that this normal-sized "studio" must be the place where the Tang Dynasty painter "Mo Yiquan" worked.
If nothing unexpected happens, the "General Map of the World·Submerged City Volume" in his arms should have been drawn by this Tang Dynasty painter in this room.
He could even feel that he was alone, holding a torch, enduring loneliness and darkness, running in this dead city that was like a tomb, taking back various specimens from all over the place, and taking them back to the house to carefully study and draw.
Old Walder once mentioned that this was also the first time he found this city. He also mentioned that Mo Yiquan died in his hands by chance. He got the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] in Mo Yiquan's hand.
This shows that through long-term research, Mo Yiquan must have found a way to shuttle between the submerged city and the surface.
In the center of the house, there is a red totem. It was a red head. Two lines from top to bottom were carved from the top of the head except for the outline of the brow bone, and naturally extended downward to form the bridge of the nose. The only thing that differs from normal humans is that there is a diamond-shaped slot in the center of this giant's eyebrows.
Does this mean it's a Cyclops, or
From a purely superficial perspective, this totem-like giant statue is quite similar to the ancient giant head on Easter Island.
But the statues of the giants on Easter Island stood extremely huge on the desolate island. In terms of scale, this statue did not meet the five-meter-high proportion of the dead giant outside the door.
This size, converted to normal human proportions, is probably a "figure" of a giant.
Reach out and touch the diamond-shaped slot in the center of those eyebrows. Loki felt that the socket was quite similar to the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] in his pocket. He took out the diamond-shaped mark and carefully observed its size. He was just about to try to get it between the giant's eyebrows.
Suddenly there were two sounds of a bird's beak tapping on the table behind him.
