The two paintings pointed out by Liu Li were the legacy of Golden King.
As for why Wang Lu could be sure … it was because the two paintings were made of pure gold. The glittering golden light was enough to blind a dog's eyes. In this world, except for Golden King, probably no one would be obsessed with gold to this extent, even carving a mural out of pure gold.
The two paintings that Golden King left here were painted on the top of the exit gate. With his character, if he wanted to leave a painting, of course, he would leave it on the top. Because the gate was too high, the top was hidden in the clouds, so no one noticed it before. Only a bored person like Liu Li could find it.
Both murals showed quite exquisite painting skills, but what was really worth paying attention to was the content. Both paintings were self-portraits of Golden King. On the left, Golden King personally built a shining golden chariot, and on the right, Golden King cut through the sea of clouds with irresistible force.
It was difficult to say whether these two murals were clues left by Golden King or simply showing off. In the painting, Golden King himself was radiant. Whether it was waving the forging hammer to build the chariot or driving the chariot forward, his domineering aura was simply overflowing. However, Wang Lu soon discovered the problem with these two murals.
Why did he build a chariot?
Although in the first painting, Golden King focused the composition on how to express his wisdom and martial prowess, the posture of wielding the forging hammer, the focused and detached demeanor, under the exquisite painting, was lifelike. However, no matter how wise he was, what he did was only a humble craftsman's work, which was quite inconsistent with his identity.
A king should be proud and noble, calmly ordering his servants to do their work. As for personally waving the forging hammer while sweating like rain, it didn't seem to match.
What's more, with the strength of Golden King, why would he need a chariot to help him fight? According to legend, the only treasure that was truly worthy of his attention and reliance was his Heaven and Earth Parting Sword. The rest of the treasures in the King's Treasure House were just collections, which could not help in a real battle.
In the second painting, Golden King drove the chariot all the way, and the thorny wheels crushed countless shadow-like enemies, which fully reflected the king's bravery. However, there were many details in the painting that revealed a secret: when the chariot built by Golden King was running, the friction between the outer wall and the clouds produced high-temperature sparks, as if it was desperately resisting the erosion of the clouds.
In addition to these two paintings, Golden King did not leave any more clues, but when Wang Lu saw this, he had a general judgment.
There must be a reason why Golden King built the chariot. Combined with the second painting, the resistance between the chariot and the clouds, it was not difficult to come to a conclusion — without the chariot, even Golden King would find it difficult to move in the sea of clouds. This difficulty was not due to a lack of power, but due to the laws.
It was no wonder that Golden King didn't carve his experience of crossing the sea of clouds into a mural at the entrance of the fourth level for future generations to admire. Because during this process, there were quite a few situations where he was forced into a corner, and it wasn't worth showing off.
However, what was it that could make Golden King bow his head? Judging from the situation of this castle, Golden King was just a passerby, so who was the owner of this castle? And the sea of clouds outside the castle, was it naturally formed, or was it caused by external forces?
Thinking about it this way, the secret hidden in this chaotic sea of clouds was really amazing. The level involved was likely to go beyond the level of the human world, reaching the realm of the gods … However, now was not the time to decipher the setting of these stories. The immediate problem was how to break through the blockade of clouds and arrive at Beautiful Unique Pool Peak before Holy Light Religion.
"In short, if we want to break through the blockade of clouds and mist, we can't rely on personal strength alone. We must rely on … the chariot!"
When Wang Lu thought of this, his eyes began to look around the castle. Inwardly, he gradually felt eager to give it a try.
"In other words, the resources in the eighty rooms of the castle are the materials for the chariot prepared by some kind person … With so many choices, what kind of chariot should we build? First of all, there must be five pairs of wheels, right … "
—
"Tsk, what a bad luck, to actually be assigned to the Blood Demon Camp."
At the other end of the sea of clouds, the group of Holy Light Religion also came to a transit station. It was just that, unlike the Serene Forest Castle where Wang Lu was, they were in a huge tent. Inside the tent, all kinds of materials were piled up like a mountain, mixed together. After seeing this big tent, Paul could not help but complain.
Seeing the Supreme Inquisitor's puzzled look, Paul explained to him, "In the sea of clouds, there are a total of eight transit stations. They are the resource warehouses built by the eight powerful people in ancient times in order to break through the blockade of the sea of clouds and explore the deeper secrets."
The Supreme Inquisitor asked, "Why do they build the resource warehouses?"
"Because it is necessary to make a suitable means of transportation here to continue to move forward. This sea of clouds has a special rule restriction, so it is impossible to move forward on foot."
"Impossible to move forward on foot? What a strange rule. But, a suitable means of transportation? "The Supreme Inquisitor frowned deeper." What is considered suitable? "
Paul was somewhat embarrassed. "About this …"
Faceless One lightly interjected, "If you can reach Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, then it is suitable. If you can't, then it's not suitable. The rules in the sea of clouds are ever-changing. Whether it is suitable or not, you can only know by walking through it yourself. The reason why this storehouse has collected so many resources is to give people countless chances to try again and again. "
"..." The Supreme Inquisitor was silent for a moment. Then he went straight to the exit of the big tent and stepped into the sea of clouds. However, he soon fell into a dead end. No matter where he went, he was just walking in the same place.
Paul said, "Don't try. If we could just rush through it, we wouldn't have wasted so many years exploring here. Unfortunately, at that time, we were in the dark crypt, where the resources were ten times richer than in the Blood Demon Tent. Now, it would be difficult to build a level eight or higher vehicle. "
"Level eight?"
Paul explained, "The vehicles built here, before entering the sea of clouds, will get an overall rating according to their quality. Only those with a rating of level seven or higher can pass through the obstacles and reach the destination, Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. If the rating is too low, halfway through, it will encounter insurmountable obstacles and disintegrate."
"After the vehicle disintegrates, what will happen to the people in the vehicle?"
Faceless One lightly said, "Rest assured, they will directly return to the starting point. They will not die in the sea of clouds." With that, his voice rippled with a hint of sarcasm, "However, once you enter the transit station, unless you can reach the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, you will never be able to leave. Therefore, being trapped here is no different from being dead."
This news was obviously unexpected. The five archbishops were slightly shocked. However, the Supreme Inquisitor nodded. "Yes, as a faithful servant of the Holy Light, the one who bathes in the Holy Light is my gift. Those who can't complete the task are not qualified to live in this world!"
Then the Supreme Inquisitor asked Paul, "You have passed the fourth pass, so it shouldn't be difficult to build a vehicle that can pass this pass, right?"
Paul said, "Naturally, it's not difficult. In the last pass, we were lucky enough to imitate the famous Glorious Extreme Speed in the history of the church. With a rating of level eight, we cut through all the obstacles to reach the destination."
"Glorious Extreme Speed!?" The Supreme Inquisitor sucked in a mouthful of cold air. "That is the rumored vehicle of the Holy Light's child in the ancient times, the legendary vehicle that has been destroyed for thousands of years. At present, the only remaining wreckage is preserved in the Cathedral of Origin. Even the most brilliant craftsman is unable to decipher its secret, yet you guys actually imitated it? "
Paul somewhat awkwardly said, "Of course it's not me …"
The Supreme Inquisitor froze for a moment. He also realized that expecting Paul, this waste, to imitate Glorious Extreme Speed was like a fantasy. Then...
"Faceless, is that you? Can you build another chariot? "
Faceless One sneered. "Of course not. The resources in the Blood Demon Tent are completely different from the Dark Crypt. The several key materials needed for Glorious Extreme Speed are not here, so how could I make it? Moreover, when I built Glorious Extreme Speed, the materials in the Dark Crypt have already been used up, so it's impossible to build a second vehicle. "
Upon hearing this, Paul was taken aback. "What? Impossible to build a second vehicle? "
The Supreme Inquisitor was not surprised by this. "Then, in addition to Glorious Extreme Speed, can you build another level eight vehicle?"
Faceless One said, "Is there any other vehicle in the history of Holy Light Religion that can be on the same level as Glorious Extreme Speed?"
The Supreme Inquisitor was speechless. In the history of Holy Light Religion, there were countless sacred tools, but there was only one vehicle, Glorious Extreme Speed. The quality of other vehicles was much inferior.
"So what are you going to do?"
"It's very simple, if we can't build it, then we won't build it." Faceless One said, "Why do we have to build a level seven or eight vehicle? In fact, even if we are assigned to the Dark Crypt, with complete resources and complete blueprints, we don't need to waste time to modify the blueprints through trial and error. However, if we really want to build a legendary vehicle, it's impossible without a few months of time. But a few months is too long for us. This is a race game, so we don't have a few months to waste. "
"Then …"
Faceless One said, "Since it's a race game, there are two ways to win. The first is to be faster than the other party, and the second is to make the other party slower than you. The topography of the sea of clouds is generally like a ring of ripples. The closer you are to the core of Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, the stronger the resistance. Conversely, the closer you are to the periphery, the easier it is to advance. The eight transit stations on the periphery of the sea of clouds are all on the same periphery ring. Therefore, we only need to use the shortest time to build a vehicle that can barely break through the cloud blockade and can move freely on the periphery — probably a level one or two inferior vehicle. And then, with the fastest speed to find the opponent and destroy the opponent, so that they can never reach the destination, which is equal to a sure win. "
The Supreme Inquisitor Ferdinand asked, "Will the other party honestly wait in the transit station and let you find them?"
Faceless One said, "As long as we move fast enough, they won't have enough time to leave. They don't have the experience of passing through the checkpoint. In theory, it would take a certain amount of time to solve the puzzle of needing a vehicle to move forward. As for building a vehicle, it would take even more time. Moreover, even if they can really build a vehicle in just a few days and leave the transit station … I have a way to lock their position in the sea of clouds. "
Ferdinand curiously said, "This sea of clouds is isolated from all perception, how are you going to lock them?"
Faceless One coldly smiled. "Because the Holy Light will guide me forward."
