The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　And he himself gained "eternity".

　As for the golden behemoth depicted in the murals, emerging from the black hole in the sky in response to prayers, it is more of a symbol.

　Dark initially thought it might be some kind of beast god. But after gathering enough information, he overturned his initial idea.

　Considering the Golden King's identity as an alchemist, this speculation is now more accurate.

　Emma clearly shared his thoughts.

　The two spoke directly in front of Alibaba, who grew increasingly shocked as he listened. His identity as a "remnant of the Golden Kingdom" suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.

　But their ideas remain speculation, and they cannot be certain until the answer is truly revealed.

　But with just a thought, the "Lunar Chariot" had already flown to the top of the pyramid.

　Harry was still on the steps, climbing up step by step from the first step.

　The "Chariot of the Moon" landed at the top of the tower, and Dark and the others leaped out. The top of this golden pyramid was not a completely pointed point, but rather a small, square platform.

　At the very center of this platform, a trapezoidal altar, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, was cast.

　The altar depicts a star map composed of nine stars.

　Emma, ​​who had a deep understanding of the El Dorado, immediately recognized the origin of the star map: "This is a totem symbolizing the nine Enneads."

　Dak nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

　The so-called Ennead actually originates from the nine chief gods in Egyptian mythology, one of whom is Set, the god of deserts and storms.

　He observed the star chart.

　The entire star map consists of nine downward-sloping circular craters, each connected by a thin line, which together form a star map.

　Looking at the star map, Dark couldn't help but wonder, "Can using Alibaba's blood really awaken the Golden King?"

　"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be Alibaba's blood; it seems that as long as one has the blood of the Golden Kingdom, it will be fine."

　Dark shook his head and said, "Then wouldn't it be enough to just pick one of the bandits from the Golden City? If that were the case, Harry wouldn't have only dragged Ali Baba into the pit of death."

　"Cough cough!" Alibaba wanted to remind himself that he was right next to him, but once again realized that he was just a piece of meat on a chopping board.

　Dark and Emma ignored him and continued studying the altar.

　In addition to the star map on the platform, the sides of the altar are also carved with delicate patterns and texts.

　Those images and texts that would normally be blurry are still clear.

　Dark summons the "Magic Book" to record.

　Emma also used a photocopy to make a copy. "What does this say?" Dark asked.

　“It should be a string of incantations,” Emma said. “The meaning of these words and images is too profound, and we need to take them back and decipher them carefully. However, incantations need to be chanted aloud, and simply understanding the meaning without knowing the pronunciation is not very useful… so there’s no rush.”

　Dark, quick-witted, immediately connected it with the mural he had obtained from the Temple of the Moon Goddess, pondering whether he could enchant it.

　This string of incantations is carved around the Nine Pillars of Deity Star Chart, perhaps sharing a similar artistic conception with those murals.

　If that's the case, then he has already accomplished more than half of his goal in finding the Golden Kingdom.

　However, until the specific effects of this incantation are thoroughly investigated, everything remains speculation.

　Dark felt around the circular craters and asked, "If a sacrifice were to be performed, what would be poured into these nine craters?"

　Emma said, “Usually it’s blood. Blood sacrifices were very common in ancient times.” As she finished speaking, she glanced at Alibaba unconsciously, which sent a chill down his spine.

　Dark said, "Let's find the entrance to this pyramid." Emma nodded and said, "Besides serving a sacrificial purpose, this pyramid is very likely also the tomb of the Golden King. Its entrance should already be sealed. My suggestion is to find a weak point and force our way through the wall."

　Dakzan said, "That is indeed a good idea. The goddess of the mind should be able to complete this task well."

　The three eyes of "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" rolled back simultaneously. But it still began using "X-ray vision" to find the weak points in the outer wall of the pyramid.

　The outer structure of the pyramid was laid bare before the "Mind's Eye." "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" quickly located a "weak point" only four or five meters from the top of the pyramid.

　When Dak went to take a look, he was astonished to find that it should be one of the entrances to the pyramid, only with a gold plate on the surface.

　The gold plate has now blended into its surroundings and cannot be opened by normal means.

　Dark took a breath, grabbed the "Sword Beast," and cleaved it in two with a single stroke.

　He instinctively held his breath, but what wafted out of the door was not the stench of decay and filth, but a very faint fragrance.

　“Aromatherapy,” Dark exclaimed after a moment of distraction.

　"Shemi" tilted its head slightly, releasing an even more refreshing floral fragrance.

　0

　Dak smelled the fragrance of the flowers and immediately woke up.

　The aroma emanating from the pyramids is said to have hallucinogenic effects!

Chapter 1102 Darkdemon and the King's Tomb (4k)

　The aroma emanating from the pyramid had hallucinogenic effects. But when Dark turned his head slightly, he realized that no one except Emma had noticed it.

　They were poisoned without their knowledge, and then detoxified without their knowledge... Well, at least they reacted to the floral scent released by "Shemi".

　However, without his company, people like Ali Baba and Malt would enter the pyramid under the influence of hallucinogenic toxins. The toxin itself isn't particularly potent, but its effects are gradual, causing the victim to see many indescribable things. Combined with other potential traps within the pyramid, this could be fatal.

　Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would likely be consumed by fear and never dare to venture into the pyramids again.

　Such protective measures for tombs are quite rare, especially considering they are found in a pyramid built many years ago.

　The Golden King was indeed something special to be called "the earliest alchemist".

　Unfortunately, this time, the one who infiltrated the pyramid was a mage at the forefront of the times.

　Dark and Emma exchanged a glance, then, without saying a word, they let "Demon King Aldridge" lead the way into the pyramid.

　Emma casually summoned two magical spirits shaped like lanterns, which illuminated the passageway from one in front and one behind.

　The passage is wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through, but it is too narrow for a fossil pterosaur (ancient form).

　Therefore, Dark ordered the [Fossil Aerodactyl (Ancient Form)] to stay at the entrance. Then he sent the other two [Fossil Aerodactyl (Sword Beast)] to transform into weapon forms and accompany him.

　Two "Ancient Swords" hovered in the air, adding a sense of security. "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" opened its "Mind's Eye," its gaze penetrating the walls to explore the path.

　[[Devimon]] and "Adventure Bird" flew in the air, one on each side. "Shaymin" was still perched on Dark's head, while the Flower Fairy peeked out curiously. Dark was also possessed by the "Soul of the Moon Goddess," making him safe and reliable.

　Emma also summoned her own magical spirits, one for protection and one for exploration.

　The group entered the passage cautiously.

　The "Moon Chariot" followed behind, with Ashe sitting next to the "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit," temporarily acting as the little rabbit's protector.

　Alibaba and Malt walked in the middle of the group, but Malt followed closely behind Dak, still playing the role of guide.

　She has extensive experience in exploring tombs and is very familiar with the common features found in ancient tombs.

　However, it was clearly her first time fighting such a well-prepared battle. She was slightly unaccustomed to the standard procedures of a mage.

　The most troublesome and dangerous part of tomb exploration is "scouting." But mages can summon magical spirits and are unafraid of sacrifice. They can explore even the most dangerous places.

　Just like the black cat summoned by Dark, it scouted ahead from the moment it entered the pyramid, charging ahead recklessly without fear of traps, something that the teams she had followed before could never do.

　She followed behind Dark, hearing sounds coming from the passage ahead. When she got there, she saw only a series of triggered traps.

　The number of traps in this pyramid is probably the most she has ever encountered.

　Almost every trap she could imagine was present. Rolling stones, pitfalls, arrow volleys, poison gas—these were all standard practice. In the past, when she explored tombs with her team, many traps looked terrifying, but they had actually decayed due to age. However, the traps inside this pyramid were not broken at all; all the mechanisms were intact and deadly.

　However, no matter how dangerous the trap was, it could not harm even a single hair on the black cat's head.

　After this happened two or three times, Maiya quickly realized that the seemingly cute and petite black cat possessed a terrifying power hidden within it.

　She didn't know if every mage could summon such a powerful magical spirit. But at least the mage that Shim borrowed from Lord Karaha certainly couldn't.

　Thinking back now, she seems to have described the mysterious and terrifying archmage to Dark...

　Half an hour later, the group finally stopped, not because of a trap or any other danger, but because they had reached the end of the passage.

　Of course, although it is said to be the end, it is only because there is a wall blocking the way ahead.

　Dark stopped and looked at the suddenly appearing golden wall, his brows furrowing slightly.

　Throughout the journey, "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" has been using the "Mind's Eye" to see through things.

　Most of the walls in this passage are transparent, but they interfere with the line of sight, shortening the viewing distance.

　But the golden wall before them was completely impenetrable.

　It's important to know that in "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind's Eye," both "Mind's Eye" and "God's Eye" are considered divine skills, so you're unlikely to encounter situations where they fail to work.

　But since it has appeared, it can only mean that the wall in front of us is extraordinary.

　For a fleeting moment, the words "violent breaching of the wall" flashed through Dak's mind, but he immediately dismissed them.

　It's hard to say whether walls like this are connected to the core structure of the entire pyramid.

　Forcibly breaking through the wall would most likely trigger other mechanisms. He wasn't afraid of traps, but he feared the existence of a "self-destruct mechanism." "This is a puzzle wall!"

　Emma's eyes lit up, and she instinctively wanted to get closer to take a look.

　The so-called "puzzle wall," as the name suggests, requires...

　The wall can only be passed by solving the mystery.

　Following the rules set by the tomb's owner and solving the puzzle to get through the wall is a way of showing respect to the tomb's occupant.

　Moreover, Emma was clearly very interested.

　After thinking about it carefully, Dak followed Emma to examine the riddle on the golden wall.

　Then a strange look appeared on his face. "It's a math problem."

　Although the text was incomprehensible, the numbers were not difficult to guess. The El Dorado used numbers similar to Lesser Roman numerals, such as i, ii, ii, iv, and so on.

　Although the operators were different, they could still be roughly distinguished after a while. Dark patted the "Adventure Bird" and realized that this wretched bird was truly useless at this moment.

　Fortunately, Emma had studied the language of El Dorado and was able to translate it with some difficulty.

　After that, Darke solved the math problem in less than a minute...

　It wasn't that his thinking was particularly quick, but rather that the question was simply too easy!

　As one of the earliest alchemists, the Golden King must have studied mathematical problems. Using mathematical problems as puzzles does indeed have the flavor of an alchemist.

　It's a historical event.

　A math problem of this level would probably only have been solved by a handful of people in his time.

　But nowadays, any student randomly picked from St. Mary's College could answer the question successfully.

　Emma quickly solved the puzzle and wrote the answer in the blank space on the wall. The puzzle wall then opened.

　After passing through the first puzzle wall, the number of traps in the passage decreased significantly. However, the quality of the traps increased markedly.

　Fortunately, "Demon King Aldridge" displayed the curiosity and energy that a kitten should have, jumping around and triggering and destroying all the traps, creating a path for the team.

　The passageways inside the pyramids have a noticeable downward slope, forming a spiral trajectory.

　If we assume that the floor we just entered is the first floor, then passing through the first puzzle wall is equivalent to entering the second floor.

　Then, when you reach the end of the second level, you will naturally encounter the second puzzle wall.

　Surprisingly, the puzzles on this puzzle wall are still math problems!

　After solving the math problem, the second puzzle wall opened, and the group continued forward to the third level.

　In the passage on the third level, golden mummies and golden saber-toothed beasts began to appear.

　This was the first time Dak had encountered living beings since entering the pyramid.

　Although the golden mummies and golden saber-toothed beasts inside the pyramid were even more ferocious than those outside, they still could not stop Dark's advance.

　Sure enough, when they reached the end of the third passage, they encountered three knights riding golden horses!

　The three golden horse riders were positioned before the third puzzle wall. Upon spotting the intruders, they simultaneously spurred their horses and launched a fierce attack on Dark and his companions.

　Then, they entered the belly of "Demon Lord Aldridge". Following that heroic spirit, "Demon Lord Aldridge" finally reactivated "The Devourer".

　These three golden horse riders provided it with three ultimate skills.

　These three ultimate skills are the acceleration skill "Golden Charge", the attack skill "Golden Sword Light", and the defense skill "Golden Shield".

　Having mastered these three ultimate techniques, "Demon Lord Aldridge" also gained immunity to "Midas Touch." Although it was never originally going to be turned to gold by that additional effect.
