It was an ancient and solemn shrine, but the comical statue of the Demon King made it hard to be serious.
However, Lilith and Greer, who were in the shrine, widened their eyes and sweated profusely as they looked at the colorful stone in Lilith's hand in disbelief.
"This can't be real, can it?"
Greer stared at the stone and slowly reached out with his trembling hand.
But in the next second, the stone was snatched away by Dodoro.
"How much can this be sold for?"
Lilith muttered to herself as she looked at the stone.
At this time, Lilith and Greer, who were addicted to it, came back to their senses and hurriedly cursed, "Nonsense! This is the legendary Heaven's Stone! You can't buy it no matter how much money you have! "
"Give it back! It belongs to my ancestor! "
Lilith snatched it back, fearing that Dodoro would lose it. She looked at the stone excitedly.
Dodoro frowned. "It's just a little pretty. What's the big deal?"
Greer scolded her for being ignorant. "If the legends are true, then all you need to do is grind the stone into powder and boil it into soup. Drink it and you'll gain the power of a god."
Lilith refuted immediately. "Where did you hear that? The stone is placed on top of your head and you can absorb its power into your body. You'll gain infinite power!"
Lin Chade, who was studying the shrine, chuckled. He had never heard of such hilarious things before.
Dodoro didn't believe them at all. She rummaged through one of the boxes and found that it was filled with the same seven-colored stones.
"It's not as rare as you make it out to be!" Dodoro knew that the rarer something was, the more precious it was. He 'wisely' realized that the two were bragging.
"What?! This can't be fake, right?! Where did your ancestor get so many stones?! " Even Greer, who was usually relatively calm, couldn't help but be puzzled. Why did such a rare thing seem to be worthless in this place? Why were there so many of them?
"It can't be fake. Why would my ancestor spend so much effort to trick me?" Lilith said with a frown. However, she did not have much confidence. After all, there were too many things that she did not even dare to dream about.
The three of them fell silent. Soon, they looked at Lin Chade in unison. This person looked just like a statue! And it was a demon!! Could it be that he had something to do with this temple?
But they shook their heads. Survive in this turbulent era for a thousand years? How was that possible? The fact that the Demon King could live for more than two hundred years was already very impressive.
Suddenly, they followed Lin Chade's line of sight and saw the murals and words around them. Their attention had been focused on the surrounding treasures, so they only saw the murals now.
"Oh my god! This must be what the ancestors wanted to tell me! "
Lilith said excitedly.
"But I've never seen the words on it." Greer cocked his eyebrows.
"This is an ancient language passed down in my family. I was forced to learn it when I was young. I hope I haven't forgotten it," Lilith said.
However, Lin Chade had already finished reading the words on the wall. He raised his eyebrows and revealed a rather shocked expression.
Lilith used an illumination spell and walked slowly while squinting and frowning.
She pointed at the beginning of the text on the wall and said, "This is an ancient calendar. The time recorded here is about 1,300 years ago. Let me see, the meaning here is' Demon King '. This means' Emperor ', a monarch. In other words, 1,300 years ago, the world was ruled by a Demon King Monarch. "
"A Demon King Monarch ruled the world? Then wouldn't the world be doomed? "
Greer did not believe it. At that moment, the person involved coughed softly. He knew that they would not believe anything he said, so he simply said nothing.
Lilith continued to frown and read the words on the wall as if she was constipated.
"Peace? A long time of peace. Yes, that should be what it means. The peace that lasted for a long time was under the feet of the Demon King Monarch. Uh, I don't recognize this word. It probably means rule. "
Lilith's interpretation made Lin Chade speechless. Such simple words, yet she could not understand them.
It was obvious that the words on the wall recorded the era when the Demon King Richard Monarch ruled. It was just that the people recorded were humans, so the description was from a human's point of view. It was a little different from the real situation.
However, it also depicted the scene of that era to the greatest extent.
"Oh! I got it. It probably meant that more than 1300 years ago, the world was ruled by a Demon Lord. However, he didn't exterminate the human race. Instead, he kept the magical creatures away from the human cities. That was why the human race prospered and developed like never before. Not only humans, but many other races also achieved balanced development. It was a golden era. Whether it was elves, humans, demons, orcs, dwarves, or even demons, they all had specific areas to live in. "
Lilith paused because of a few words she did not recognize.
"I don't recognize this word. What's the difference between humans and other races?" she said in confusion.
"Hey! Why don't you know such an important word! "Greer scolded.
"What can I do?! I learned it when I was six or seven years old. It's already good that I can remember so much! "Lilith shouted.
"This means trade."
However, Lin Chade spoke at that moment.
Hearing that, the three of them looked at him in surprise.
"You must be kidding! Humans can trade with other races? That's the demons, orcs, and the like! "Lilith said in disbelief.
Lin Chade did not say anything. He did not need to convince them.
Seeing that, Lilith did not ask and continued to interpret. The more she read, the more she felt that the word might really be trade.
The humans in the murals even began to live with other races.
"This is another era record, but it seems to be earlier than the previous one. What's going on?" Lilith was puzzled, but Greer could not tolerate her stopping halfway. He hurriedly urged, "What happened after that? Hurry up and say it. Don't bother about the time."
Lilith sighed and did not want to waste time with him. She pointed to a mural and said, "You can understand it by looking at the image. The gods descended to the world, the Demon King was destroyed, and then the world changed. There are many obscure modifiers that I can't understand."
Saying that, she looked at Lin Chade as if asking for help. However, this time, Lin Chade only looked at the mural of him being defeated in silence.
To be honest, the mural was a little funny. Angels had the face of a villain, but he, the great Demon King, looked like a hero who had sacrificed himself. He was half-kneeling on the ground full of weapons with a sword in his chest. His eyes were so righteous.
He could not help but shake his head with a smile.
Lilith continued, "The world has changed, and so have the times. Demons multiplied crazily without restraint, and various races had disputes. A world-class war broke out, and the prosperity of the past was all gone. This shrine is to commemorate the great Demon King, who is also my master, Lin Chade Klaus."
As soon as she finished, Lilith and the others suddenly fell silent. There was no sound in the shrine for a few seconds.
"Ah!!! Master! This! This! "
Lilith and the others looked at the statue in disbelief.
"My ancestor is actually the Demon King's disciple?" Lilith's face turned green. She never thought that her ancestor would be related to the demons, and was even the Demon King's disciple …
