Dark said, "That's true. But I think at least three of those four want to leave."
The ticket ratio is three to one.
When Shim and his party first entered the Golden City, they were still dreaming about the future, but they never expected that they would become deserters in the blink of an eye.
They took the body of the deceased, picked up a few gold bricks at random, and hurriedly boarded the Desert Eagle, flying into the tunnel that had been dug from the ground to this point.
This time when they entered the Golden City, they gained nothing but a few gold bricks, and lost several lives for nothing. Even Him's mechanical compass was taken away.
This is beyond what the word "loss" can describe.
But if they hadn't happened to attract the attention of Dark and his group, they would have perished in the Golden City, becoming the first humans to be devoured by greed.
It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky.
In any case, Him, one of the three great thieves of the Golden City, made his exit in such an ordinary way.
The "Lunar Chariot" sped away, and the golden elemental species that had been shredded by the "Fossilized Aerial Dragon" gradually reassembled, with some regenerating.
But that was no longer relevant to Dark and the others. Just before entering the Golden City, Dark finally obtained the mechanical compass. He felt little emotion, but his curiosity was at its peak.
Because Alibaba was with him, he quickly learned how to use the mechanical compass.
Simply put, it involves dripping blood, infusing magic, and then activating it. Dak tried the method Alibaba described from the beginning, but ultimately got stuck on the first hurdle: "dripping blood."
He dripped blood into it, but the mechanical compass didn't react at all. "Tsk."
Dark clicked his tongue and tossed the mechanical compass to Alibaba. Of everyone present, except for Alibaba, none were descendants of the Golden Kingdom. However, according to Alibaba himself, only descendants of the Golden Kingdom could use this mechanical compass.
Alibaba obtained the mechanical compass, then cut his fingertip and dripped blood into it. The blood that fell onto the compass was instantly absorbed, and the compass surface flashed with golden light, signifying that it had changed hands to a new owner.
Alibaba infused the compass with magic, and it restarted. Alibaba watched the eight rapidly spinning needles, but gradually his brow furrowed.
Before he tragically fell into the Golden City, he had already discovered that the compass was pointing to the golden horse riders, not the Golden City itself.
Although it still guided them to the Land of Gold, it was ultimately different from their initial expectations.
Before this, they had never seen the Golden Horse Knight in the Desert of Death.
This can only be interpreted as aligning with the revelation received by Mo Apo. The Golden Horse Knight appeared with the revival of the Golden Kingdom.
Before this, even with a compass, they couldn't find the Golden Kingdom, because the Golden Horse Knights didn't exist in the desert.
But now that they are in the City of Gold, what use is this compass?
Alibaba fell into deep thought.
It wasn't until the eight pointers gradually slowed down and the result they pointed to became clearer that Alibaba suddenly realized that the result was completely different from what he had expected!
Theoretically, even excluding the Golden Horse Knight who personally witnessed Darke receiving the "Orb of Truth," one of the possible outcomes indicated by the pointer should be the previous battlefield.
After all, when they left, the fragments of the Golden Horse Knight had already reassembled.
But now, the compass not only doesn't point in that direction, it only presents one result!
He suddenly looked up and stared in a certain direction.
Just as Dark had previously guessed, golden horse riders were not uncommon in this golden city.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, a mechanical compass should indicate multiple directions.
However, now it only points in one direction.
This is completely different from when we were in the desert.
"Could it be that the mechanism of this compass changed again after entering the Golden City?" Alibaba was completely puzzled.
But after hearing the explanation from him, Dark said decisively, "In that case, let's go in this direction!"
Since the compass had already indicated the direction, they had no reason not to follow its guidance.
This is much clearer than continuing to wander aimlessly.
The "Moon Goddess Chariot" immediately turned around and flew in the direction indicated by the compass.
Dark sat down in the carriage and took out magic cards to replenish his magic power one by one.
Emma carefully analyzed the information she had gathered during their previous exploration. Ashe activated her "Spiritual Connection" technique and reported the situation.
The malt leaned against the corner, conserving its energy.
Alibaba had given up on the idea of escaping the City of Gold.
The changes in the mechanical compass aroused his intense curiosity about the journey ahead.
Besides, Harry is still suspended in mid-air by the "Netherworld Soul Ring." He certainly doesn't want to be hanging there alongside him...
The "Moon Chariot," blending silently into the night, left no trace. None of the three regular monsters in the Golden City were aerial units. The "Moon Chariot" moved freely until a second Heroic Spirit appeared.
However, it did not travel too fast, but maintained a rather "cautious" speed and continued to fly.
And during this time, above the ground.
After several twists and turns, the Sand Clan's team reappeared in the vicinity.
But Lillian had already brought Alibaba's team to the "center" position they had marked based on the Golden Horse Knights' activity range.
After a careful inspection, they began digging a pit into the ground. Meanwhile, the gold-digging team unexpectedly encountered the Sand Clan. Both sides were in dire straits, so they quickly reached a consensus and surprisingly formed a new team.
A few hours later, with the help of the Sand Clan, Gold Digger found the hole dug by Him and thus entered the Golden City.
After several hours of flight, the mechanical compass in Alibaba's hands finally underwent a new change.
Following the compass's guidance, the "Moon Chariot" came to a stop in mid-air. Dak opened the chariot door and, among the golden structures not far away, saw a colossal golden pyramid!
Chapter 1101 Darkdemon and the Nine Pillars (4k)
Among the dense cluster of low-rise buildings, the pyramid stands out like a crane among chickens, dazzling and majestic, quietly and solemnly standing in the darkness.
A thought struck Dak, and he immediately recalled the golden pagoda depicted in the mural.
"Could this be the golden tower that the Golden King built using all his manpower and resources?" "Obviously it is."
Emma's eyes lit up; the pyramid seemed to be enveloped in "mystical energy" in her eyes, giving her an urge to rush into it immediately.
She gazed at the pyramids in the distance, watching the staircase leading from their base to the top, and the scenes depicted in the murals involuntarily came to mind.
Thousands of people prostrated themselves around the pyramids, while the Golden King, holding a scepter, climbed the steps one by one.
In the darkness, it seemed as if he could truly hear the sounds of prayer and sacrifice... Dak turned to look at Alibaba and saw that the pointer on the compass in his hand was trembling violently, as if excited or afraid.
Alibaba himself looked up at the pyramids, speechless with astonishment. Those seeing such a magnificent structure for the first time are inevitably awestruck. Dak, too, felt the same way.
Although he had seen countless pyramids in videos and pictures from his previous life, the pyramid he saw today was made entirely of gold, a true miracle among miracles.
It's unclear whether the gold bricks in this pyramid are made of real gold, as depicted in the murals, or whether they were artificially formed like the walls and floors.
Several thoughts raced through Dark's mind, but instead of ordering the "Chariot of Luna" to head to the pyramids immediately, he turned and entered the carriage, pulling Harry out.
Harry, whose entire body had turned to gold and was no different from a golden mummy, had his soul bound by the "Netherworld Soul Ring".
As soon as Dark loosened the restriction slightly, he saw him roar. But the roar had barely left his lips when the image of the golden pyramid came into his view.
He suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the magnificent and towering golden pyramid, and the ferocious expression on his face gradually calmed down.
Dark noticed the change and immediately looked at (Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye).
"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" opens its third eye, allowing it to see into people's hearts from behind.
Then, Dak saw a look of surprise on her face. "How is it?" Dak asked.
[Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye] said, "His consciousness is showing signs of recovery; he's about to regain consciousness."
Alibaba noticed this and quickly looked away, focusing on Harry. His relationship with Harry was actually just so-so, but "Lone Ranger" Harry's reputation among desert guides was very high, and his credit rating was also extremely high.
Alibaba and Harry signed an agreement before setting off, and Alibaba fully trusted Harry. However, he never expected that Harry would be controlled by the will of the Golden Kingdom.
Harry's eyes are indeed gradually regaining their liveliness.
A few minutes later, he regained consciousness, a moment of confusion flashing across his face, before he was immediately drawn back to the magnificent golden tower.
"Harry?" Alibaba asked tentatively.
Harry turned to Alibaba slowly after a few seconds and asked, "Where is this? Weren't we just in the Desert of Death?"
Alibaba's expression froze, his heart filled with indignation.
It turns out he was almost killed before, but the killer's memory was stuck in an even earlier period.
Harry agreed to join his team because he had a compass to guide him to El Dorado.
But Alibaba did not see any greed for those gold treasures in him.
It's as if he had no interest in gold or treasure at all, and his purpose in joining the team was very pure: to find the Golden Kingdom.
Unlike Ackerman, who brought his own team, Harry had no actual conflict of interest with Alibaba. Therefore, Alibaba has been working to strengthen its relationship with Harry.
He never imagined that trust exchanged for trust would result in assassination. If it weren't for Dark's intervention, he would already be a bloody sacrifice in the Golden City, a offering to awaken that so-called Golden King!
But when the topic of offerings came up, Ali Baba suddenly became alert. Could the golden pyramid Harry wanted to send his head to be the very golden pyramid before them?
If his blood and head could truly awaken the Golden King, then wouldn't he have walked right into a trap by coming here guided by the compass?
At that moment, Alibaba suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his gaze trembled not only when he looked at Harry, but also when he looked at Dark and the others.
Divergent thinking.
Why did Dark insist on taking him along and not letting him escape from the Golden City? The mechanical compass was only obtained later, so it certainly wasn't because he could use it.
The only possible reason is that Dark and his group also coveted his blood and head.
shudder!
"Alibaba, where is this place? Where are the other people?" Harry asked again in a deep voice.
Alibaba was panicked inside, but outwardly dared not show his fear. He said, "Weren't you looking for the Golden Kingdom? This is the ruins of the Golden Kingdom. The others haven't come in yet. When we encountered the Death Pit, you suddenly went mad and dragged me into it by accident. You should have seen these people here before."
Harry glanced at Malt and then said to Dark, "Mr. God, although we haven't had a chance to greet each other before, this is our second meeting."
Dark smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Harry." Harry nodded slightly and turned to Malt, "With Malt here, I feel much more at ease. So Mr. Goddard is also here looking for the Golden Kingdom."
Dak then smiled slightly.
He really wanted to find a mirror right now and give Mr. Harry a good look so he wouldn't forget his identity as the "Golden Man".
Harry had just regained consciousness and was eager to gather information from all sides, unaware that his body had been completely turned to gold.
Otherwise... he would instantly become fanatical!
One of Harry's purposes in searching for the El Dorado was to make a pilgrimage. After regaining his senses, his mind was no longer confused, and the amount of information he could access exploded.
Dak casually posed a few questions, which led to the revelation of Harry's background, almost exposing everything about him.
Of course, Harry didn't answer, but all the thoughts that flashed through his mind were read cleanly by "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".
After communicating with "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye", Dark had an epiphany.
Harry heard the "Call of the Golden King" when he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and now that he is nearly thirty, he has heard the "Call of the Golden King" for a full sixteen years.
This also means that the "Golden King" began its deployment sixteen years ago.
For a full sixteen years, or even longer, the "Golden King" could not have deployed only Harry as a pawn.
Harry lost consciousness after seeing the Golden Horse Knight. This also meant that the "Golden King" could freely control his "believers."
Harry is now sober, but no one knows when he might suddenly explode.
The information Dark wanted regarding the rituals was also missing. Harry had no recollection of that period and knew nothing about the rituals.
In other words, he is no longer of any use to us.
However, Dark did not kick him off the carriage. After a brief explanation, he started the carriage and finally flew towards the golden pyramid.
The Moon Chariot stopped at the first step of the pyramid's base. Harry leaped directly down from the chariot, his eyes filled with excitement and fervor. "Are you going down too?" Dark asked Alibaba.
Alibaba quickly shook his head and said, "I'd rather travel with you."
“A wise choice,” Darke laughed.
Harry insisted on starting from the first step, so Duck stopped the carriage there.
Now that he had been put down, the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess" was no longer needed. Merging into the darkness and disappearing completely, the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess" simply flapped its wings and shot towards the top of the pyramid like a rocket.
In the mural, the Golden King completed the sacrifice at the top of the pyramid—in alchemist's words, he completed the alchemy!
The Golden King activated the transmutation circle, using the entire kingdom as transmutation material. With the full power of the nation, he completed the final alchemy, transforming the entire capital into an "eternal" golden city.
