"How are we supposed to get this off?"
"let me try."
Hilde walked behind the throne, then bent down and grabbed the bottom end of the throne.
This throne made of stone was solid. To put it bluntly, it was a large piece of rock that was chiseled out. You can imagine how heavy it was. After Hilde grabbed the bottom, she gritted her teeth and lifted it up. Under the surprised eyes of Sitalses, the throne weighing several tons was slowly lifted up by Hilde. Hilde had never used such a great force before, which made her feel most intuitively how terrible the power of the Thracian king was.
"asshole……"
Hilde gritted her teeth and then exerted force suddenly.
He directly overturned the stone chair.
The huge stone chair hit the ground, and there was a loud bang. Hilde clapped his hands and looked at the ground in front of him. Sure enough, as Sitalses said, there was a stone slab with obvious cracks under the stone chair. Hilde lifted the stone slab and saw a very wide entrance. The size should be enough for the King of Thracian to enter. So Hilde exhaled and said to Sitalses:
"Gather the others."
"Yes!"
Soon, except for the soldiers who stayed to protect Sofia and Dione.
Hilde took Sitalses and the remaining 200 people, holding torches, and planned to enter through this secret passage. Hilde was afraid that there was a trick, so she held the torch and walked in front.
The tunnel was very long, and through the torch, Hilde couldn't see what was inside the end of the tunnel. She could only keep walking inside, and after walking about a dozen floors, she finally reached the ground.
"Everyone, pay attention." Hilde raised the torch and warned the people behind him.
The dark environment underground makes it difficult for people to react for a while.
However, Hilde's eyes.
Soon you will be able to see the whole picture in the darkness.
"Wow……"
Even Hilde couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.
Everything in front of him suddenly became clear at this moment. Everything appeared in front of Hilde. The end of the passage was not another passage as Hilde had thought, but a very huge underground cave. At this time, Hilde realized that there was a cave of the same size as Adlisia under the entire city of Adlisia. The top of the cave was more than 30 meters away from the ground. A large number of stalagmites more than ten meters long hung in the sky, and there were also many protruding stalagmites on the ground.
It seems like this is a place from another world.
At the same time, there is actually a road among these stalagmites.
This road was a compacted dirt road, but it was obvious that the Thracians, who had no habit of building roads, would have to spend more time to build such a road. At the same time, along this road, Hilde could see a faint fire a thousand meters away. Hilde didn't know if the voice of the person he heard was in that very distant place. But at present, the only place that seemed to be accessible was the fire ahead.
"There is a fire ahead, let's go take a look."
"Your Majesty, is this a bit dangerous?"
Sitalces could see almost nothing.
After all, this is an absolutely dark place.
Chapter 2, Section 9: The Temple Under the Earth
I can't see my fingers.
For most ordinary people, this is indeed the case.
After all, this place is underground, cut off from all light, so there can't be any visible light. This is not like night, at least there is moonlight at night. So Hilde said to the people behind him: "I can see the place here clearly, you follow me, keep in line, don't fall behind, use torches to illuminate the surrounding areas, understand?"
"Yes!"
The monarch protects the soldiers.
Perhaps this is a rare scene.
Hilde held the torch and walked slowly forward.
This cave is really amazing. Generally speaking, there is a lot of groundwater in this kind of cave, and it is probably difficult to live in it. However, the Thracians paved a road here, which is quite smooth and has no obstacles. At the same time, Hilde also noticed that there are torches on both sides of the road, but these torches have not been lit yet. So, Hilde's hand flashed with electric sparks, and purple sparks jumped onto these torches and ignited them.
The electric current was like a spirit, jumping back and forth on the torches on both sides of the road. In the eyes of the soldiers, they could see that the torches along the way were lit one by one, and a road illuminated by flames gradually extended into the distance.
"Keep in formation, go."
Now that the road is lit.
Hilde and others could naturally start walking.
“It’s so weird here.”
Sitalces looked at the road that led to a faraway place.
"I have been in Adlisia for such a long time, but I have not discovered this place."
"Oh? You didn't know?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It looks like there should be something good here."
Sitalses was a well-known figure in Adlisia, and even Sitalses didn't know about this place, which showed how strange it was. Therefore, Hilde was even more curious about this place. Maybe she could find many secrets about the Thracian king here... Of course, Hilde was not sure whether these secrets were good or bad.
Hilde estimated that this road was at least three to four kilometers long. Who would have thought that there was such a large natural cave under the ground of Adlicia? The road alone was so far away. If someone built a city in this cave, Hilde felt that the space here was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Now, Hilde's curiosity about this place was growing stronger and stronger. She couldn't wait to rush to the front to see what was going on.
However, she couldn't just abandon her soldiers.
Hilde could only keep walking.
We walked for almost half an hour.
Hilde was almost at his destination.
The faint firelight in front of her became brighter now. As long as there was light in front of her, it meant that there should be people living there. Hilde felt that she was quite amazing. She could actually sense that there were people underground from the surface... Think about it, Hilde was also amazed at her sensory ability. Could it be that after releasing the divine power, her ability in this area has improved so much? Just as Hilde was daydreaming, she gradually saw through the firelight and saw the existence hidden in the darkness.
In the shot of the road, there is a high slope.
The dark rock was several meters high, and the light of the torch illuminated the path leading up. At the same time, Hilde could see a large number of cloth decorations on both sides of the stairs, which seemed to be similar to the style of Greek temples. Hilde walked to the front of the stairs, raised his head and looked up, then said to Sitalses: "Everyone, be alert, I feel someone is up there, but I'm not sure if it's a threat to us."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sitalses and other soldiers immediately formed a square formation.
Hilde took out the dagger he was wearing and walked up quickly.
The slope of the stairs was very gentle, and it took Hilde a full minute to reach the top.
When Hilde reached the top, everything in front of him made Hilde's eyes widen.
At the end of the stairs, there is a magnificent temple.
It was a feeling that was totally out of harmony with this place. The temple was made of white marble, but this was a cave. Not to mention marble, there was probably no hard rock that could be used, but there was such a temple here. Moreover, the style of this temple was very different from that of traditional Greek temples. If Hilde thought about it, the overall feeling would be more classical. Because it was inside the cave, the height of the temple was not very high, about 20 meters, and the top had reached the top of the cave, but it was very spectacular.
The style is classical, but the architectural craftsmanship is not inferior to that of Athens.
Under the Adelicia.
A temple actually appeared! ?
Hilde walked over quickly with surprise.
The light around was still very dark, so Hilde had to walk carefully, and the interior of the temple was also pitch black. Hilde didn't know what was inside, but she could hear someone's voice in the temple, so Hilde was quite curious about who was actually inside this temple.
"The temple!?"
After Sitalses came up, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
“There’s actually a temple here!”
"Be quiet."
Hilde warned, then continued walking inside.
The soldiers were also very curious. There was actually a temple in the underground cave. They didn't expect that this legendary story would happen to them. Hilde walked directly towards the temple. She also found some torches nearby, so she lit them. When the fire illuminated the place, the full view of the temple was revealed to everyone. As Hilde walked, she said, "I'm afraid this is left by ancient civilization."
"Ancient civilization?"
Sitalses couldn't help but say in surprise:
“How could ancient people build such a building?”
"The most surprising thing is, how did the ancients transport the marble here?" Hilde found some stone tablets around. She walked over and looked at them carefully, then said, "This is Mycenaean writing. The words on it have been severely damaged, but there are still some participants... Let me see what it says, Chaos... Original... New World?"
"Is this the story of the Titans?"
Sitalces nodded.
"Your Majesty, you can actually read Mycenaean writing."
Chapter 2, Section 10: Priest of the Underground Temple
"I learned a little from my teacher when I was in Athens."
"Your Majesty, you are amazing."
Sitalces can only boast here.
After all, he doesn't understand anything.
The Mycenaean civilization is a civilization that is nearly a thousand years old.
These civilizations had long disappeared in the ethnic integration that lasted for hundreds of years. The remains of Mycenae were scattered all over the Greek world. However, Hilde had never heard of any traces of Mycenaeans in the heart of Thrace. And this move was a miracle. Building a temple in a natural underground cave was something that the Greeks today would find difficult to do.
"This should be what the Mycenaeans left behind. There are not many people who can write these Mycenae words now. Besides, who would have the leisure to write so many Mycenae words here... It's amazing. I didn't expect that in such a place, the ancient Mycenaeans could create such a magnificent building."
"Your Majesty, have you discovered anything?"
"Nothing at all."
Hilde shook her head and looked towards the temple ahead.
"keep going."
"Yes."
There were too many stone tablets around, and Hilde couldn't look at them carefully one by one. If she had time later, she could take a closer look... However, these stone tablets were really interesting. The reason why Hilde knew about the Mycenaean script was that when she was bored in Athens, she could only follow the scholars invited by Pericles to learn some interesting things. Among them, the linear script used by the Mycenaeans attracted Hilde's attention.
Hilde still doesn't know the name of this scholar.
Moreover, the ancient Greeks did very little research on linear writing.
But this scholar understands it very well.
He originally taught Hilde speech and writing, but found that Hilde was more interested in linear writing than these, so he taught Hilde everything he knew about linear writing. This also led to Hilde being able to recognize the words written on the stone tablets left by the Mycenaeans today.
Holding the torch, Hilde continued walking into the temple.
There are torches here too.
So Hilde used electric sparks to light all the torches.
When the torches illuminated the interior of the temple, Hilde could finally see the entire scene clearly.
Similar to the style of ordinary Greek temples, there is a long corridor inside, and on both sides of the corridor are painted murals with a very classical atmosphere. Although Hilde could not understand what the paintings were specifically about, she could probably judge that the content of these paintings should be the description of the mythological era by the Mycenaeans hundreds of years ago. There are turbulent seas and people flying in the sky. Without thinking too much, those people must be gods in the eyes of the Mycenaeans.
Keep going inside.
Hilde could feel the human presence more and more.
Sure enough, there are people here.
"Everyone pay attention."
"Yes!"
Hilde walked in quickly, and then she saw a strange object in front of her.
At first glance, it looked like a rock, but no one knew why a rock was placed at the end of the tunnel. As Hilde got closer, she realized that there was actually a person lying at the end. Hilde was a little puzzled. She picked up her dagger and approached step by step. After all, there might be some strange things in the thousand-year-old Mycenaean ruins. Hilde didn't want to suffer a loss in this regard.
"who are you?"
Hilde walked over and pulled the person on the ground up.
It's a woman.
She seemed to have no bones in her body. When she was pulled up, she was lifted up directly. At this time, the golden hair covered by the sackcloth also appeared in front of Hilde. Her eyes were covered by a piece of sackcloth. After being pulled up by Hilde so roughly, she did not react much, but just swayed. After a while, the woman spoke and said something that Hilde could not understand.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Sitalses came over.
“She’s saying, who are you?”
"Thracian?"
