The scenery inside the door is different from what Aaron imagined. The storage place of the Snake God's Egg is not like a museum. The most precious items in the collection are firmly locked in the deepest place, protected by the most powerful guards and the most complete Guarded by security and the most devoted servants.

On the contrary, the Egg of the Snake God is placed in the most conspicuous position, on the top of about sixty steps of the pyramid, with four golden giant snake statues placed in a sparkling pure pool of water.

The surface of the pool flickered with dim light, and warm and humid air blew over the face. There were pools like this on both sides of the entrance. The magic circle was still in operation, and no less than a hundred snake-hating people were in a deep sleep. They were all tall. Strong warriors, every snake-hater lies with eyes closed in a transparent coffin filled with light green liquid.

The golden arches one after another are inlaid with golden vertical pupils that symbolize the snake god. The divine power from the snake god above has also fallen into a deep sleep. Mysterious patterns are engraved on the ground. These patterns do not have much practical significance. But it can still show the former glory and architectural art of the Snake Empire.

The Snakeman Empire was completely born out of the Wuhui Empire, and its architecture also maintained the style of the Wuhui Empire, that is, grand, strong sense of order, and rough carving style. The architectural structure is very obsessed with the symmetrical central axis and the sense of depth to show its own majesty and depth. Solemnity and mystery.

The indispensable snake-shaped sculptures are always arranged symmetrically, which represents the balance of snakes. The cold tones represent the cold hearts of snake people. As a cold-blooded species, snake people's emotional ability is also very weak. They are not without feelings, and It's not that they won't get angry, but it's all short-lived. A snake man with a good relationship may betray him at any time because of interests, and a snake man with a blood feud can shake hands and make peace or even bow his head and beg for mercy at any time because of changes in the situation.

"According to what I read in the history books, the snake people don't seem to love their gods." Aaron said casually as he followed Aponia.

"Yes, the snake people worship their gods, but that is only because it is a way to quickly obtain power." The beauty of Sword Song nodded: "The snake people firmly believe that as long as they obtain enough power, they can ascend to become gods and replace One of the many clones of the giant snake in the world, the gods are just existences in higher dimensions. In order to ascend, the snake people are cold-blooded and ruthless, and they will not hesitate to commit any crime for this purpose."

"What a cold-blooded pragmatism." Aaron nodded.

"Isn't it the same with you humans? Today you can worship this god for this thing, and tomorrow you can worship that god for that thing." Aponia didn't agree with Aaron's words, and the sword-singing beauty giggled: "Worship if it works. , just throw it aside if it’s no longer useful.”

"What are you talking to a devout believer of the Silver Virgin?" Aaron pretended to be serious: "Our Salian family has been honoring the Silver Virgin for generations, and our donations and worship have never stopped..."

"Okay, okay, novice." The beauty of the sword song was unwilling to argue with Aaron on this topic. She pointed to the egg of the snake god located on the steps of the pyramid: "The thing is right there."

The egg of the snake god is surrounded by four golden statues, each of which is lifelike. Together, they place the egg on the surface of the pool. The egg is oval in shape, with a diameter larger than Aaron's fist and a length equal to Aaron's. The forearm has golden snake-like patterns on the surface of the eggshell, and a magic shield on the outside.

"Is that the egg of the snake god?" Aaron had already smelled the fragrance: "How do you plan to get it? Blow it up with a bomb?"

"How is it possible?" The beauty of Jiange covered her mouth and snickered, shaking her head: "Although the snake god is already asleep, how could he not arrange strong guards to watch his eggs? As long as we take it directly, we will definitely alert the more powerful guards. , and... the strength is definitely not comparable to that of the undead snake-hating people outside. If we are not careful, we will all die here, little noob~"

"What should we do?"

"What should I do? Let's do something useful, little noob! Use your snake language to make the guards push away." The sword-singing beauty smiled. She seemed to like teasing him, and even kicked his trouser legs with the toes of her high-heeled boots. .

Her figure was really suitable for boots, Aaron thought, but high heels were certainly not bad either.

no matter where.

The beauty of Sword Song teased Aaron, but she kept moving in her hands and quickly took out two scrolls with divine power, spread them out on the ground, and thick purple-gray divine power spread out along the edges of the scrolls.

"Do you think I have scales on my body?" Aaron also squatted down. He looked at the divine power overflowing from the gaps in the scroll. As the scroll was completely spread out, the black divine power dagger inside was revealed: "I You can fool the stone statue, but you can't fool the egg of the snake god."

"Grrrr~ I know." Aponya took out the dagger, and the sword-singing beauty signaled Aaron not to worry about her: "Do your thing, little noob, I need some time, take a look at what you want in this secret room. , take it all if you can."

Actually, I want that egg! Aaron nodded silently. He glanced at the Snake God's Egg. It was obvious that Aponya had a method that could break through the magic protection.

She needed some time to prepare.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aaron began to search for possible treasures in the inner room.

The fact is that the number of treasures in the inner chamber can be described as terrifying!

Not to mention anything else, there are more than 800 small snake-patterned steel ingots placed in the secret room alone! Each small steel ingot was made into a standard cylinder, about twenty centimeters long and five centimeters in diameter. It was wrapped with magic-blessed snakeskin. It is unknown how many years have passed, but it is still as smooth as new.

Serpentine steel, the ultimate equipment raw material coveted by the whole world!

That's a lot of money, Aaron gritted his teeth.

The money is here, but... how to take it out?

I don't have space magic, and I don't have such things as dimensional bags.

hateful! Aaron couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment. The two scimitars were already very heavy. If he brought more steel ingots, his speed would be affected.

In such a dangerous place as the Snake Man Ruins, would you risk your life just for greed of money?

It seems that we can only find other ways to get these serpentine steel ingots in the future.

Aaron continued to focus on something else.

He was soon rewarded.

Two dark green transparent magic gemstones - alexandrite, each worth more than 500 gold lion coins.

A fiery red transparent gem - fire opal, an excellent item for enchantment. It can add fire damage to every hit of the weapon, and is worth more than 1,000 gold lion coins.

A gold chain strung with many small pink gems seems to be worn on the tail of the snake man.

There were also two pure gold goblets set with emerald stones.

A small bag of exquisite gold coins minted during the Snake Empire period, with a photo of the snake god Seth printed on the back.

Aaron weighed the weight a little and knew it was worth a lot.

Counting those two scimitars, this wave of harvest is more than 8,000 gold lion coins!

We are going to get rich!

Aaron nodded with satisfaction, Father, did you see it? Taking risks is the way to make a lot of money!

That's not the end yet, Aaron continues to explore.

Soon he made an even bigger discovery: a snake god shrine embedded in the corner of the secret room. The tributes on it had long since rotted, and the sacrificial lamp, which was thicker than a human waist, had burned out.

There is nothing valuable on the shrine, only the box placed in the center.

The surface of the box was covered with a thin layer of moss. Aaron carefully reached out and touched it twice to make sure there were no magic curses or traps before picking up the box.

"It seems to be made of unknown jade."

As soon as Aaron picked up the box, he felt a little disappointed. The weight of the box was not heavy on his hands. He had originally hoped that there would be a piece of extraordinary equipment or valuables inside. But judging from the weight, there was either nothing or just some items inside. Bits and pieces.

But no matter what, it’s here, open it and take a look.

Aaron slowly placed the box further away. He took out a knife from his waist, turned around and came to the back of the box, and carefully opened the box from the back with the knife.

Many boxes contain traps such as poison darts, stingers, curses, and magic attacks.

It's always better to be careful.

Aaron opened the box.

It seems like nothing happened?

No!

The moment he opened the box, Aaron felt a strong response from the power of Tzeentch. The will of the Demonic Bird God emerged in his mind. Following the golden light that diffused from the gap in the box, Aaron couldn't wait to stretch out his hand. Go in.

What is placed inside the box is a golden scroll~!

As if it is out of place in the secret room, this scroll is so exquisite and eye-catching. The shaft in the middle of the scroll is made of gold, engraved with mithril snake patterns, and inlaid with diamonds on both ends. You can tell at a glance that it is Extraordinary product!

The entire scroll is ten inches long and eight inches wide. The thin gold foil-like pages are as flexible as paper. The silver magic handwriting moves slowly on its surface, twisting, arranging and reorganizing as if it were alive. At a glance, all the scrolls can be seen. The sight is sucked into it. This does not seem to be something that can be manufactured under the current civilization at all. Even the divine power badge of the Silver Holy Mother Temple is not so exquisite.

This is? ! Aaron's mouth grew.

This is...this is the legendary "golden skin of the giant snake of the universe"!

People in the kingdom also call it the "Nese Scroll"!

The legendary mage treasure, the Nese Scroll, actually appears here? !

I had seen a scene on the mural of the Saluk witch making a Nese scroll, but it turned out that there was actually a Nese scroll in the secret room!

Aaron didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

The Nese Scroll is a true artifact. It is the greatest contribution left to mortals by the founder race, Saluk Wuhu. It is a key item that allowed the Nese Empire to dominate for a while. It is a real artifact.

It is said that there are a hundred Nese scrolls in total. After the Nese empire obtained the first fifty scrolls, it created a glorious arcane civilization. The much information contained in these scrolls has been regarded as common sense by the wizards of the country. Nonetheless, the Nether Scrolls contain a wealth of information that will be helpful to any student of magic.

Later, during the development of the Arcane Empire, these 50 volumes began to be lost, and some of them were stolen from the most heavily defended treasury of the Netherese people by a group of bold but omnipotent thieves.

In "The End of Netheril", the author Ms. Silinxi mocked the great arcanists as a bunch of idiots who couldn't even protect their own treasures.

When Netheril began to face a serious crisis, the famous Grand Arcanist Karthus persuaded the Council of Grand Arcanists to send the Nese Scrolls to him for study. Unexpectedly, despite sending a Under the escort of the senior legendary Grand Arcanist, forty arcanists, and hundreds of legendary professionals, someone still took away all the remaining Nese scrolls.

There were no survivors, and there were not even many traces of the battle. The Nese Empire was puzzled.

In "The End of Netheril", the author Ms. Silinxi meaningfully noted at the end, "He gave this thing to you Netherese people on his own initiative, and he naturally has the right to take it back."

So, if I take this Nese scroll, will I be "recycled" by a supreme being who can easily deal with an entire escort legion?

This is not my track. Aaron took this shiny golden Nese scroll and decided to read it first!

With his decision, Tzeentch's power was completely opened, and the power of the Lord of Change was poured into his body.

If the sword-singing beauty, who was concentrating on preparing for the ceremony, dared to look back, she would be frightened by Aaron's current state.

At this time, Aaron's eyes protruded and shot out two blue rays of light, and he was scanning the entire scroll from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed. His reading speed was so fast that the silver magic words on the Nese scroll also looked like... It is spinning rapidly like a whirlpool.

Behind Aaron, the figure on the stone wall illuminated by the faint light changed from a human form directly into a giant two-headed strange bird holding a scepter.

In this way, in less than half an hour, Aaron sat there and read the entire Nese scroll.

The moment he finished reading, Aaron's decent blue light flashed, and on his forehead, in a twisting Holy Emblem of the Fire of Change, the Eyes of Joy of the Lord of Changes had already opened!

Aaron's Chaos God Warlock career level has been increased.

Aaron received the permanent blessing of Tzeentch, and his intelligence attributes were enhanced.

"I have longed for knowledge, and longed for knowledge. Only the saints and treacherous people are curious, so don't be trapped!"

Silently reciting the holy name of Saint Tzeentch, Aaron stood up from the ground. He carefully put the Nese scroll away and couldn't help but feel joyful.

Tzeentch is ecstatic!

The Magic Bird God was very satisfied with this gift.

He gave generous blessings without hesitation, and filled up all the magic power of Aaron in one breath.

"Well done, boy, keep working hard, I'm optimistic about you~" The Lord of Changes only said one word: "Change is a good thing, knowledge is power."

Aaron twitched the corner of his mouth.

Sooner or later I'll blow your bird's head off!

This Nese scroll contains two contents.

The first content is the Snake Man Sloughing Technique. This four-ring magic allows the caster to instantly cleanse all negative conditions and recover a certain amount of injuries, and to avoid an injury by shedding the skin. The shed skin will remain in place and cause confusion until be destroyed.

This spell is a bit too supermodel.

Of course, there are limitations to the snake-man's skin-shedding technique. Originally, scaleless people could not learn this spell, because humans are not snakes and cannot shed their skin.

But Slaanesh is the snake god.

Aaron, who has completely mastered the power of Slaanesh, can naturally also use the snake-man shedding technique.

Moreover, the Snake Man Shedding Technique can be used to cast spells at higher levels. The fifth-level Snake Man Shedding Mantra can regenerate severed limbs, and the sixth-level Snake Man Shedding Skin Technique can be used on others.

Hey, hey, hey, I seem to be becoming less and less human!

Aaron groaned inwardly.

A creature with the head of a bird and the tail of a snake? No matter what, don’t do this kind of thing!

The second knowledge is the famous serpentine steel forging method. Saluk Wuhu recorded the entire serpentine steel forging knowledge and all the forging details in this scroll.

This is a true treasure that cannot be exchanged for a lot of money.

Aaron is not a blacksmith, he does not know how to forge iron or make steel.

But he has already mastered this knowledge, which is his core competitiveness. In the future, whether he plans to build a blacksmith shop by himself or use his technology to cooperate with others, the secret of serpentine steel is enough to make the whole world crazy.

The technology of 35,000 years ago was actually more advanced than the current blacksmithing technology... Aaron once heard his father say that after the dwarves in Mithral Hall drank, they blew the cowhide loudly, but none of them knew how to forge it. Serpentine steel.

"Knowledge is power!" Lord Viscount silently recited Tzeentch's holy words.

At this time, the sword-singing beauty was still concentrating on chanting a long spell and had no time to pay attention to Aaron. There was nothing to see in the secret room, so Aaron turned his attention to all the sleeping snake-hating people in the entire secret room.

More than a hundred snake-haters are sleeping in transparent coffins. They are all soaked in light green liquid. The light green liquid is circulated by a device near the shrine. Through this device, the snake-haters can enter. A long sleep.

Aaron opened the ancient device, bit the tip of his finger, and put his hand into the pipe that circulated the light green liquid.

The last time I faced the incarnation of the Old One, I gave my good brother a lot of trouble.

So this time, let me repay this good brother a little bit~

As Aaron's blood mixed with purple magic poured into the pipe, all the snake-hating people sleeping here saw the snake god in an almost eternal dream.

It's just that the image of this snake god is different from the previous image of the snake god Seth. He is sitting in the six-ring demon realm, dancing to the moving music, his long forked tongue is stirring, and his purple body is So perfect, exuding fatal temptation.

He claims to be the Serpent of Joy, Shalish, the clone of the Serpent of the World. He has stronger power, a more perfect divine body, and rewards that mortals cannot imagine.

The era of Seth and Set is over. I am the true incarnation of the snake of the world. I am the snake of joy - Shalish!

Believe in me, mortal!

The will of the new god spread rapidly along the breach created by Aaron. Gradually, all the sleeping snake people in the entire country heard the voice of the new god.

It turns out that the giant snake of the universe has never left!

The Snake Empire is saved!
