I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 584: Temple of Azus

Holland looked at Li Si in front of him in disbelief, unable to control the expression on his face.

This was his biggest secret, but he never expected that Li Si would tell it out loud.

He did find a place that seemed to contain ancient ruins, but he had not yet made up his mind to explore it.

Having been active in Carlisle City for many years, as an intelligence businessman, he naturally knew that when each desert relic appeared, although there might be huge wealth hidden in it, the risks involved were also corresponding.

Every appearance of desert ruins represents the desperate fight of countless mercenaries.

But he felt reluctant to let Holland give up the exploration or cooperate with others now.

After all, the wealth in the desert ruins can allow him to truly become a nobleman, rather than just maintaining outward respectability like he is now.

Holland's father was a steward of a minor noble family. Growing up with his father, he yearned for the life of nobles, which was why he chose to become an adventurer and came to Carlisle.

He is now a high-level silver professional, which is enough to obtain the Lord Knight, but he is still a little unwilling.

If one has enough wealth, it is not impossible to become a baron or even a viscount of a small kingdom.

That's why Holland stayed in Carlisle. As long as he discovered an unexplored relic here, it would not be impossible for him to become rich overnight.

The location of the suspected ancient ruins he recently discovered is his most important secret.

He had never told anyone this, so he was so surprised when Li Si talked about this that he couldn't even control his expression.

Moreover, the other party seemed very sure that he had found an undiscovered relic, and even knew that it was a desert vortex.

How did you do it?
Prophecy? Stealing memories?
Holland was a little frightened, but he managed to control his expression and calm down.

It doesn't seem right. If that were the case, the other party wouldn't have to come to him to ask for more information. They could just go there directly.

Could it be that I was talking in my sleep one day and accidentally let this matter slip?
Holland didn't know what to do, and his brain was racing as to how to respond to Li Si.

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Listening to Holland's answer, Li Si shook his head and said:

"Just now I thought you were a sensible person. Why, do you still want to fool me?"

"Since I can come to you, I am sure that you know this secret."

"Tell me the truth, with your ability, there is no way to explore there. I can give you more rewards."

Li Si did not lie. After all, although the Temple of Azus had been in decline for a long time, Azus, the god of fantasy and knowledge, had always existed, so the temple was still protected by the power of this god.

With Holland's strength, it is impossible to break in by force.

"."

Holland was silent for a while, his face looking gloomy and hesitant.

Do you really want to give up?

The young man in front of me said nice things, but the reward he gave was definitely not comparable to the value of the ruins.

The most important thing is that if he handed over this secret, his last hope would be shattered.

He would rather delay it a little longer than give up this opportunity.

"What if I don't want to sell it to you?"

Holland stood up slowly and looked at Li Si in front of him with a wary look.

"That's not appropriate. I don't want to go through so much trouble."

Li Si looked at Holland in front of him and said softly.

In fact, with Holland's strength, he can easily guide and read the other party's memory through the dream world.

But Li Si was in a hurry today, and Taiya had just left. To be honest, Li Si was not in a very good mood and didn't want to spend too much effort, so he just came over directly.

Holland stepped back slightly and said to Li Si:

"I really don't know what you are talking about!"

"According to the rules of Carlisle City, you cannot attack me in the city, otherwise you will become everyone's enemy!"

In fact, the rules in Carlisle City are not that strict. At most, you cannot attack others in public. As for places where there are no people, no one cares.

Holland saw that Li Si had just arrived in Carlisle, so he planned to take advantage of the power of others.

At this time, the confrontation between Li Si and Holland also attracted the attention of other mercenaries in the tavern, and many of them cast a curious look at them.

Holland and the others are all very familiar with him. He is an intelligence dealer who is well-informed and has considerable strength.

The young people on the other side are strangers, and if a conflict really breaks out, they will definitely help Holland.

Maybe I can give you a discount next time I buy information from Holland.

Facing Holland who wanted to escape, Li Si slowly stood up and looked down at him.

As for the malicious looks from the mercenaries around him, he didn't take them to heart at all.

Mercenaries who are not even at the gold level are of no threat to Li Si even if they attack together.

Li Si raised his eyes and looked around. His body did not move at all, but an indescribable pressure was as if suddenly released by an invisible hand. It instantly turned into a storm with him as the center, sweeping madly in all directions.

This pressure, carrying with it a terrifying magical impact and mixed with Li Si's powerful will, shocked the mercenaries present.

This is not only an impact on momentum, but also a shock to the soul!

Even those warriors who had fought many battles and were experienced could not help but look small and fragile in the face of this impact. Their faces turned pale in an instant, like the surface of a lake blown by the cold wind in winter, freezing all the blood.

The mercenaries stumbled involuntarily and retreated again and again. Some Bronze-rank professionals were even forced to kneel on one knee by the sudden pressure, and the weapons in their hands were trembling slightly. In addition to shock, their eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.

At this moment, Li Si seemed to have become the core of the square, looking down at everyone present with his supreme will. The eyes of the mercenaries, who were originally cunning, indifferent, or resolute, all converged on Li Si at the same time, with a little trembling and awe that could not be concealed.

How can it be? ! !

As the person closest to Li Si, Holland feels it most deeply.

The first time he saw Li Si, he realized that the young man in front of him was very strong, stronger than him.

But he didn't expect him to be so strong that he couldn't even think of resisting just by his aura.

It's not like he hasn't seen gold-level professionals before, but no one has ever made him feel so powerless.

Is it a legend?
Yes, only a legendary king could be so powerful, right?
Holland's mind raced, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said to Li Si:
"My Lord, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."

"I do know a place where the ruins may exist!" After Li Si showed his strength, Holland sincerely told Li Si everything he knew.

If you want to continue hiding it in front of His Majesty the Legend, you are simply seeking death.

No wonder this lord knew his secret. Anything was possible for the legendary crown.

After listening to Holland's description of the location of the special desert vortex, Li Si removed the silent barrier set up around it, threw a bag of gold coins to Holland, and turned to leave the tavern.

He left a mark on Holland, so there was no need to worry that the other party would give him false information and then run away.

Then, Li Si ignored the mercenaries around him who dared not move, and stood up and left the tavern.

After Li Si's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the mercenaries present breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with lingering fear, and whispered about the true identity of the young man just now.

Holland, who was originally kneeling on the ground, also collapsed on the ground. For a moment, he felt his pants were a little wet, and he didn't know if it was sweat or he couldn't hold it back.

At this time, several mercenaries exchanged glances with each other and walked towards the embarrassed Holland.

"Holland, what's going on? What did that adult want to talk to you about?"

The burly mercenary in the lead took a look at Holland, who no longer had his former demeanor, and pulled him up from the ground.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"It's nothing. This legendary prince just came to me to buy some information."

Holland smiled, thanked a few people, and then staggered out of the tavern.

"Okay, go back and rest first!"

The sturdy mercenary said to Holland with a smile, and after he walked away, he said to a companion:
"Jorn, follow Holland from behind. Be careful not to be discovered by him."

"It's definitely not an easy task for a strong man like that to find him. If we can get this information from Holland, even if it's just leftovers, it will be a big profit!"

"It's okay to take a little risk. Let's go back and prepare."

"Don't worry, boss."

The people around the sturdy man responded, and then left the tavern with excitement on their faces.

On the other side, after leaving the tavern, Holland immediately trotted away, no longer looking decadent.

How could he possibly hide the thoughts of those mercenaries from him?

He knew that after this incident, he would be targeted by those cunning mercenaries.

That’s trouble!
He did not return to his residence in the city, but went straight to the secret passage prepared in advance.

In order to prevent similar things from happening, he had long ago stored the wealth he had accumulated over the years in a hidden place outside the city.

After making sure he had shaken off the person following him, Holland opened the purse left by Li Si.

There were two hundred gold coins and an emerald of equal value.

“Very generous!”

Holland sighed and said that this was slightly more valuable than the information about the location of the suspected ruins. After experiencing this incident, he was already content.

He had just realized that since the ruins had attracted the attention of His Majesty the Legend, even if they contained precious treasures, they were not something that a professional like him who was not even at the Gold Rank could peek at.

Therefore, he had no intention of making this information public and causing trouble for Li Si.

Are you kidding? He is a legendary strong man. If anything unexpected happens, they will definitely know that it is him who is causing trouble, then he will be dead.

As for whether to go to the ruins to look for bargains in the future, Holland has not made up his mind yet.

It’s better to leave first. I can’t stay in Carlisle anymore anyway.

Holland did not continue to struggle, but rushed out of the city under the cover of night.

Two hundred kilometers west of Carlisle,

Silver moonlight fell, and a desert vortex appeared between several tall sand dunes, which was extremely hidden. The surrounding sand dunes began to gradually deform in this slow but steady rotation.

It was like ripples gently stirred in the yellow sand ocean, or like the breath of a giant sand beast in ancient legends, swallowing up the surrounding sand dunes bit by bit. The falling sand grains jumped and intertwined in the air, forming delicate arcs, and finally returned to the vortex, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Because most of the ancient ruins are located under the desert and covered by endless yellow sand, even if people are right above the ruins, it is difficult to discover the secrets a hundred meters deep under their feet.

But the appearance of desert ruins was not without signs.

In addition to the effects of wind and sand, this sudden appearance of a desert vortex is one of the most common signs of the appearance of ruins. After all, ruins that have survived for countless years are basically maintained by extraordinary forces.

Due to various accidents, the internal space of the ruins collapses or is damaged, and the yellow sand from the outside will enter the ruins through the cracks. Specifically, the ruins are constantly swallowing up the yellow sand, forming the strange phenomenon of a desert vortex.

Especially in the area around the city of Carlisle, this kind of situation is most likely due to the existence of ruins underneath.

But discovery is one thing, and how to explore is another.

For most mercenaries, following the desert vortex down into the ruins is the most dangerous and brainless choice, as it almost means a dead end from which there is no return.

Most mercenaries will dig the ruins themselves, or mercenary groups that are confident in their own abilities will choose to hire ordinary people to dig the sand.

Although this will take a long time, it is indeed the safest method.

But for Li Si, it was completely unnecessary.

Even if he encounters danger, he can just teleport through space and jump out.

Having made up his mind, Li Si rushed directly into the desert vortex from mid-air.

After a few minutes of darkness, Li Si's eyes brightened, his body relaxed, and he felt the fresh air again.

Li Si looked forward, and a magnificent temple appeared before his eyes.

This ancient and mysterious temple is hidden in a cave deep in the desert, as if it is a miracle standing quietly at the end of time. Although the temple has experienced countless erosions from wind and sand, it still maintains an indescribable grandeur and solemnity.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge parchment scroll in the center of the temple. It is presented in an ancient and complex pattern, which seems to contain ancient wisdom and secrets. Although the years have left mottled marks on its surface, it cannot conceal the majesty and sacredness from ancient times.

The walls of the temple are made of pale grayish-white bricks, emitting a soft and warm glow, which contrasts sharply with the cold yellow sand around it, bringing a touch of sacredness and solemnity to this desolate land.

Starting from the gate of the temple, hundreds of neatly arranged stone steps slowly extend down to Li Si, like a road to the highest place, leading pilgrims step by step to the depths of their souls. Each step carries the weight of history, as if whispering the glory and vicissitudes of the past. On both sides of the steps, there are no complicated decorations, only simple and powerful lines, which further emphasize the solemnity and solemnity.

In this vast space, time seems to have stood still. Only the fine sand falling from the top of the hole makes a fine and continuous sound, like a mysterious and lonely call from ancient times.

This is it!
Li Si stood at the bottom of the temple's stone steps, looking up slightly.

Is this the Temple of Azuth, the God of Fantasy and Knowledge?
It was indeed much more shocking to see it with my own eyes than to see it in the forum!

But I remember it was mentioned in the forum that there seemed to be a special test to enter.
