当詹恩举起剑时,不少人甚至都不知道发生了什么事,他们只看见詹恩伸出手握住剑柄,然后做出了一个挥剑的动作,而下一刻明亮闪耀的剑光便如同强烈的雷霆闪电般倒映在他们的视网膜上,使得他们的眼前只看见了一片茫茫的白色。而接下来他们唯一能够感觉到的就是剧烈的震动,地板不住的颤抖,灰尘向下洒落,甚至还夹杂着几分重物坠地的声音。但是眼下冒险者们也不知道究竟是怎么回事,他们只是本能的闭上眼睛,伸出手去挡在眼前,然后跌跌撞撞的向着旁边走开。Untila moment later, the vibrationceases, the peoplethenhesitateare putting down the arm, opens the eye. Timefrom the beginning, theironly hasonepieceto be dimandjet blackat present. Howeverwhatis luckywastheireyequicklyautomatic controls, making the peopleagainclearsaw the presentall. Butat this time, everyonealmostheld breath a cold air/Qi.
直到片刻之后,震动停息,众人这才犹豫着放下手臂,睁开眼睛。一开始的时候,他们的眼前只有一片昏暗与漆黑。不过幸运的是他们的眼睛很快就自动调整了过来,让众人再一次清晰的看见了眼前的一切。而这个时候,所有人几乎都是倒吸了口冷气。Sees onlyintheirfront, thatoriginallycarves the wall of Sun Godbadgeto vanish into thin air, what replaces it is a circular, pitch-darklarge cave/hole. Fragment that only thenall aroundscattersis prompting the peoplebeforetherehereactuallyhadanything. Butseesthis, Adventurer are also dumbfounded. Theyhaveto exploretomb chamberandruins that havesecret passage. Howeverat that timemostlybykeenandquick-witted of Thief, how couldto have thoughtwill start out a gatewith the method of suchsimpleviolence? Thinks ofhere, Adventurerhave a look atthatpitch-darktunnel, visitsZhan En, suddenlydoes not knowshouldsayanythingis good.
只见在他们的面前,那面原本雕刻着太阳神徽章的墙壁已经不翼而飞,取而代之的是一个圆形的,黑洞洞的大洞。只有四周散落的碎片在那里提示着众人之前这里究竟发生了什么。而看见这一幕,冒险者们也是目瞪口呆。他们不是没有探索过拥有密道的墓室和废墟。但是那个时候大多是靠盗贼的敏锐与机智,何曾想过会用这么简单暴力的方法开出一道门来?想到这里,冒险者们看看那个黑漆漆的地洞,又望望詹恩,一时间也不知道该说什么才好。ButZhan Enhas not cared about the views of others completely, hereceives the swordto return to the sheath, takes a stepto go forward, enteredinthatjet blackgloomychannellike this. Butlooks at the Zhan En'sback, the peoplegawked, hurriedwith. Has toacknowledge, sincematterhas developedthisstep, thentheyexcept for continue go forward have no other alternative. MoreoverAdventurer have toacknowledge. Theyregardingall that the presentmusthave, was interestedmore and more.
而詹恩则完全没有在意其他人的看法,他只是收剑回鞘,举步上前,就这样走进了那个漆黑阴暗的通道之中。而看着詹恩的背影,众人愣了一下,也急忙跟了上去。不得不承认,事情既然已经发展到这一步,那么他们除了继续前进也别无他法。而且冒险者们也不得不承认。他们对于眼下所要发生的一切,也越来越感兴趣了。Althoughhad been through repeatedlyseveral hundredyears of wind and rain, howeverSun Templesecret passagebut is actually verycomplete, perhapsis the reason that few peoplecome and go out. Herehas not receivedanythingto destroy& mdaSh;Naturally, a moment agoZhan Endiddoes not calculate.
虽然历经了数百年的风雨,但是太阳神殿的密道倒还是非常完整,或许是很少有人出入的缘故。这里也没有受到什么破坏—当然,詹恩刚才所做的不算在内。
When with the beforehandtombinoftenundead lifeformattackscompared with, at presentSun Templesecret passagetranquilsomewhatis simply bored. Howeverthisalsono wonder, hereleads toSun Templesecret passage, if can also discoverundead lifeformhere. That can only explain that Templehas problems. Butunderbeing bored to death, Adventurer have to appreciateherescenerywith the aid of the flame.
与之前墓穴里动不动就受到不死生物袭击时相比,眼前太阳神殿的密道平静的简直有些无聊。不过这也难怪,这里可是通往太阳神殿的密道,假如说在这里还能够发现不死生物的话。那就只能够说明神殿内部出了什么问题。而百无聊赖之下,冒险者们也只好借助火光欣赏这里的风景的。Is the damned place of tombcomparesin all directionseverywherebeforethese, thissecret passagetoSun Templeappearedattractive, is carving the deedsaboutSun GodAmoraby the wall, the things that naturally, after most of themwere the wartime of Sun GodAmorasaintsaintarrived, to encounter, somedeedsAdventurerhave been familiar, butsometheyhad not understood, thereforelookedactuallywith great interest.
与之前那些四面八方到处都是墓穴的鬼地方比起来,这条通往太阳神殿的密道显得漂亮了许多,在墙壁两侧雕刻着关于太阳神阿蒙拉的事迹,当然,其中大多数都是圣者之战时太阳神阿蒙拉圣者降临之后所遭遇到的事情,其中一些事迹冒险者们早已经是耳熟能详,不过还有一些他们也不甚了解,因此倒是看得津津有味。Fishes in troubled watersAdventurer that regardingthesewatches the fun, Zhan Enhas not cared. On the contrary, hecloses the eye, thenopensagain, looksto the jet blackdimcorridordeep place.
对于那些浑水摸鱼看热闹的冒险者,詹恩并没有在意。相反,他闭上眼睛,然后再次睁开,望向漆黑昏暗的走廊深处。【Evileye】Launch.
【邪恶之眼】发动。In a flash, the worldchanged the shapein the Zhan En'seye, hindersbarrierdisappearance of hisline of sightto be missingcompletely, even the land and wallvanishwithout the trace. Cansee, is sparkling the magic powerbrilliancetips. Zhan Enoperatesownline of sightto forwardlike this, following the path of magic powerknitting, is searchingentireSun Templefrom top to bottom. Althoughsaid that was changing the shape【Evileye】. Could not have seen the barrier between building and constructioncompletely, butZhan Encanguess that the approximateposition of opposite partyis.
一瞬间,世界在詹恩的眼中改变了形态,阻碍他视线的障碍全部消失不见了踪影,甚至连大地和墙壁消失无踪。所能够看见的,只有闪耀着魔力光辉的点点滴滴。詹恩就这样操纵着自己的视线一直向前,顺着魔力编织的道路,从上而下的搜索着整个太阳神殿。虽然说在改换了形态的【邪恶之眼】中。已经完全看不见建筑与建筑之间的隔阂,但是詹恩还是能够猜测到对方的大致位置所在。First, whatseesin the Zhan En'seyeisseveralplatoonsbecomestworows, in the magic powerbrilliance that the rulemoves. It looks like from the aboveshapeshouldbelongs toMagical Weapons , thisalsomeans that thesedoomsdaybelievershad arrived in Sun Temple, position that butis atfromthemnow, theyhad not as if found the gate of Deathshadowfragment...............on the other hand, thatthingactuallywhere?
首先,在詹恩的眼里所看见的是数个排成两列,正在规律移动的魔力光辉。从上面的形态看来应该是属于魔法武器,这也就意味着那些末日教徒已经来到了太阳神殿里,只不过从他们现在所在的位置来看,他们似乎还没有找到死亡阴影之门的残片……………话说回来,那东西究竟在哪儿呢?Thinks ofhere, Zhan Enlowering the head. Lookstoward, later, hisfootstepsstoppedslightly.
想到这里,詹恩不由的低下头。向着下方望去,随后,他的脚步微微停顿了一下。Found.
找到了。Seeing only during infiniteis dark void, a strangeoval-shapeobjectfloatwhere, itlooksseems likeblack hole, justinedgepartial reflectionweakwhitebrilliance, in【Evileye】Under the support, Zhan Encanclearseesdarkmagic powerto be centered onitrevolvesto congeal, probablywildtornado is the same. Butis howling the middle of wildenergymighty current, istranquileye of wind& mdaSh;Alsois the fragmentlocation.
只见在在无限黑暗虚空之中,一个诡异的椭圆形物体正悬浮在哪里,它看起来就好像是一个黑洞,只不过在边缘部分反射着微弱的白色光辉,在【邪恶之眼】的支持下,詹恩可以清晰的看见黑暗的魔力正在以它为中心旋转凝结,就好像狂暴的龙卷风个一样。而在呼啸狂野的能量洪流的中间,正是平静的风眼—也就是碎片的所在地。Isthis!
就是这个!Sawthis, Zhan Engripped tightly a fist, thenheraised the headagain, lookedtoward the above, theseare sending outMagical Weapons brillianceexistencestillin the slowmovement, from the altitude, they and fragmentgap of gate of Deathshadowalsohadalmostsixbuildingthathighdistances, butspecial detailshowonly thengod knows.

看到这一幕,詹恩紧握了一下拳头,接着他再次抬起头来,向着上方望去,那些散发着魔法武器光辉的存在依然在缓慢的移动,从高度来看,他们和死亡阴影之门的碎片间隔还有差不多六层楼那么高的距离,但是具体情况如何就只有天知道了。毕竟这个世界的建筑风格追求的就是高大上,别看有六层楼那么高,说不定这些人类直接就是在太阳神殿下面挖了一个六层楼高的大空洞然后把死亡阴影之门碎片封进去也说不定,要真是这样的话,那么距离对于他们来说就已经不算是什么问题了。
„ SirZhan En, what is that? &Rdquo;
“詹恩大人,那是什么?”Butatthis time, the Ainasoundtransmitted, pulled back the realityfrom the ponderZhan En. Hetakes back【Evileye】, Looksforward. Thenunderstands why Ainawill stop by calling outhis& mdaSh;Sees onlyat this momentbeforethem, no longerisa moment agothatjet blackdimroad, butis a hall of rectangle, isoneseems likesacrificial altarlittlepyramidin the middle of hall, butpeakinpyramid, thenplacesoneis seeming likewith the mirror that the pure goldbuilds.

Butat this moment, allAdventurerincludingStevealmostwithbeing enchanted by the lookis gazing atthatmirror, even if not needtoomanyknowledgealsoto look,canplacehere, absolutelyisrare treasures.
而就在这个时候,艾娜的声音传来,将詹恩从沉思之中重新拉回了现实。他收回【邪恶之眼】,向前望去。这才明白为什么艾娜会叫住他—只见此刻在他们面前的,已经不再是刚才那条漆黑昏暗的甬道,而是一座长方形的大厅,在大厅的中间是一座看起来像是祭台般的小金字塔,而在金字塔的顶端,则摆放着一面看起来像是用纯金打造的镜子。它就这样安静的竖立在金字塔顶,散发出柔和的光亮,照亮了眼前的大殿。而此刻,包括史蒂夫在内的所有冒险者几乎都用迷醉的眼神注视着那面镜子,哪怕不需要太多的知识也可以看出来,能够摆放在这里的,绝对是一件奇珍异宝。Howeverwhatis differentfromthem, sees the flash of thismirrorinZhan En, is actually the complexionchanges.
但是与他们不同的是,在詹恩看见这面镜子的一瞬间,却是面色微变。Holy shit, the mirror of Sun!? Can thisthingunexpectedlyhere?我了个去,太阳之镜!?这玩意居然会在这里?AlsoZhan Enwill be no wonder surprised. The mirror of SunisSun GodAmoraleaves behind in the world one of the threebigDivine Artifact , the legenditcansend outto endurecompared with the sunlightintenseray, is reduced to ashesallevil spiritevilghosts. Zhan Enashigherdemon, naturallyalsohasto hearregardingthistype of gadgetawfully. Butwhatmakeshissurprisedis. The mirror of Sunplaceshereunexpectedly, reallymakeshimfeelsomewhatsurprisedly. After allin the Zhan En'seye, likesacred itemshouldbe laid asidealwaysteachesto be rightinSun Temple, rather thanlike the presentlays asidein such a abandonedTemple.........
也难怪詹恩会如此惊讶。太阳之镜是太阳神阿蒙拉遗留在世界的三大神器之一,传说它能够散发出堪比阳光般强烈的光芒,将一切妖魔邪鬼化为灰烬。詹恩作为高等魔族,对于这种要命的玩意儿自然也不是没有听说过。但让他惊讶的是。太阳之镜居然放在这里,实在让他感到有些惊讶。毕竟在詹恩的眼里,像这样的圣物应该会被放置在太阳神殿的总教会才对,而不是像现在这样放置在这么一座已经被废弃的神殿………According to the truth, canfindDivine Artifact at presentis a veryluckymatter. HoweverZhan Endoes not feellucky. ButDivine Artifact god, oncewere touchedwill have the inductionwith the gods, fromthisDemonic Artifact is also same, during Demon Kingoperatedandtemptsthesewiththiswayfrequentlyto have no intentionto obtain the Demonic Artifact personto be in the darknessandpainfulAbyss. ButDivine Artifact could not missmanyinthisaspect, but the godsgave the euphemistic name ofitfor „ directionguide&Rdquo;And so onexcuseof pleasant to hear.
按照道理来说,眼前能够找到一件神器是件很幸运的事情。但是詹恩可一点儿都不觉得幸运。神器可是神之器,一旦被触动就会和神明产生感应,从这点儿来说魔器也是一样,魔王们经常用这种方式来操纵和引诱那些无意之中获得了魔器的人陷入黑暗与痛苦的深渊。而神器在这方面也差不了多少,只不过神明将其美其名曰为“指引引导”之类好听的说辞罢了。Regarding the mirror of thisSun, Zhan Ennaturallydoes not dareto take. Oncehecontactsthismirror, thenimmediatelyandSun GodAmorahas the induction, even if the opposite partywill unable to see throughhim the camouflageashuman, by a godsattention will still be a quitematterawfully. Butas the child of Demon King, Zhan Ennaturallydoes not hope that godslookall dayoneselfmakethisto makethat.
对于这面太阳之镜,詹恩自然是不敢去拿的。一旦他接触这面镜子,那么就会立刻和太阳神阿蒙拉产生感应,就算对方看不穿他身为人类的伪装,被一个神明关注也是一件相当要命的事情。而作为魔王之子,詹恩当然不希望有个神明整天看着自己做这做那。Howevernowwantsto turn aroundto leavealreadywithout enough time. Moreoverlooked that theseAdventurerlooks.........sowill not be perhaps easyto give up.
不过现在想要转身离开已经来不及了。而且看那些冒险者的眼神………恐怕也不会就这么容易善罢甘休。
„ SirZhan En, you know that whatthatis? &Rdquo;
“詹恩大人,您知道那是什么吗?”CommanderStevetakes back the visionwith great difficulty, thenhelookstoZhan En, asks. Butthis momentotherAdventurerwill also look atZhan En, theyalsoknow that thisdefinitelyisexpensivegoods, but actually is anything to be actually unknown, buttheybelieve,perhapsat presentthisyoung peopleknowthatisanything.史蒂夫团长好不容易才收回目光,接着他望向詹恩,开口询问道。而此刻其他冒险者也将目光投向了詹恩,他们也知道这肯定是一件贵重的物品,但究竟是什么东西却不得而知,但是他们相信,眼前这个年轻人说不定会知道那是什么。
„ Thatis the mirror of Sun. &Rdquo;
“那是太阳之镜。”in a moment, Zhan Enfound out the countermeasure, insealconsideringtheirspacesgate of Deathshadowfragment. Perhapsthen the mirror of thisSunspecificallyis used for the sealit. If so, then the bestwaydo not go. If by some chancetouches the seal, making the gate of fragmentDeathshadowpresent the words of issue, butthatontroublesomewere many& mdaSh;Do not look atthatis only a fragment. In the strength of containingis as good aspureDemonic Artifact completely. Perhapstidies upwell, does not catchSnake maninsteadto be bittenby the snake, thattroubled.
只是眨眼的工夫,詹恩就想出了对策,考虑到他们脚下的空间里封印着死亡阴影之门的残片。那么说不定这面太阳之镜就是专门用来封印它的。如果是这样的话,那么最好的办法就是不要去动它。万一触动封印,使得死亡阴影之门碎片出现了问题的话,那么可就麻烦的多了—别看那只是一块碎片。在其中所蕴含的力量完全不亚于一件纯正的魔器。一个收拾不好,说不定捕蛇人反而被蛇咬伤,那就麻烦了。
„ ItisSun GodAmorakeepsDivine Artifact & mdaSh in world;HoweverIadvised politelyeveryoneto should better notto haveitsidea, toavoiddyingwithout the burial ground. &Rdquo;
“它是太阳神阿蒙拉留在世间的神器—不过我奉劝各位最好不要去打它的主意,以避免死无葬身之地。”
„ Why? &Rdquo;
“为什么?”Hearsfront „ Divine Artifact &Rdquo;Thesetwocharacters, the eyes of almost allpeopleshone, butZhan Engot upsafewordsinbehindforthem. Perhapsthislittle whiletheseAdventurerhave rushedto robthatmirror. Howeverafterhearing the Zhan En'sspeech, Adventurerquicklystopped the footsteps, the doubtswas gazing athimpuzzled.
听到前面的“神器”这两个字,几乎所有人的眼睛都亮了起来,而要不是詹恩在后面为他们上了一道保险的话。恐怕这会儿这些冒险者已经冲上去抢夺那面镜子了。不过在听到詹恩的说话之后,冒险者们还是急忙停下了脚步,疑惑不解的注视着他。
„ Very simple, the mirror of SunispureDivine Artifact , itsfunction is used for the evolutionevillyexistencewithsin, butanymindinsufficientlypurepersonis contactingitto unravelinstantaneously. Naturally, ifeveryonethinksoneselfcanmaintain a pureheart, thencancome upto trygreatly. &Rdquo;
“很简单,太阳之镜是纯粹的神器,它的作用是用来进化邪恶与罪孽的存在,而任何心灵不够纯洁的人在接触到它的瞬间就会灰飞烟灭。当然,如果各位认为自己能够保持一颗纯洁的心的话,那么大可以上去一试。”
„ This...............&Rdquo;
“这……………”HearsZhan En'sto speak, the peoplehesitatedthoroughlyfinally, is the mindpure? Thisgadget was too abstract, mustsay that was chaste? Howeveralthoughdoes not have the conclusion, butmostAdventurerafterhearing the Zhan En'sspeechgave up& mdaShdecisively;After alldoes their line, could not have pulledanythingto relatewith the mindchastely.
听到詹恩的说话,众人彻底终于犹豫了,心灵纯洁?这玩意儿实在太抽象了吧,要说怎么样才算纯洁呢?不过虽然对此没有定论,可是大多数冒险者在听到詹恩的说话之后就果断的放弃了—毕竟干他们这一行,早就和心灵纯洁扯不上什么关系了。
„ Ok, wecontinuedto go forward, everyone. &Rdquo;
“好了,我们继续前进吧,各位。”Looks that theseAdventurergave uptocompetition of mirror of Sun, Zhan Enalsorelaxingin the innermost feelingsfinally, thensaid. Heknows the will of the people dangerous, dragsagain, perhapssomereallypeoplehave not believed in evil doctrinesto takethisgadget, thatfunction that althoughsomemirror of indeedheSun said that butdid not fear that 10,000fear the eventuality, ifreallysomepeopleattain the mirror of Sun, triggered the attention of Amora, thatmaytrouble.
看着那些冒险者终于放弃了对太阳之镜的争夺,詹恩也在内心松了口气,接着开口说道。他知道人心险恶,再拖下去,说不定还真有人不信邪去拿这玩意儿,虽然太阳之镜的确有他说的那个功能,但是不怕一万就怕万一,如果真的有人拿到太阳之镜,引发了阿蒙拉的关注,那可就麻烦了。
„ Ok, youheard! &Rdquo;
“好了,你们都听到了!”Butat this time, CommanderStevealsorecovered, heforced himselfto take back the vision, thenlookedto others, said.
而这个时候,史蒂夫团长也回过神来,他强迫自己收回目光,接着望向身边的其他人,开口说道。
„ Thisis not the thing that wecantake, nowhas turned the head, do not visititagain, we must continueto go forward...............&Rdquo;
“这不是我们可以去拿的东西,现在转过头去,别再看它,我们还要继续前进……………”
„ Rumblerumble............!! &Rdquo;
“轰隆隆隆隆…………!!”But the Stevewordshave not said,suddenly, along withfiercesound, the groundstartscrazilyshivers, had the especially bigearthquakegeneralprobably, the tremor of solidgroundwaveboard, the duststonesprinkledlikelyin abundancedownward, suddenlyeveryonewas coveredby the dust, did not see clearly the surroundingsituationcompletely.
而史蒂夫的话还没有说完,忽然,伴随着一阵剧烈的响声,地面开始疯狂的颤抖起来,就好像发生了特大地震一般,原本坚实的地面像波浪板的颤动,灰尘土石纷纷向下洒落,一时间所有人都被灰尘所笼罩,完全看不清楚周围的情况。Is also no betteras forotherAdventurer, in the situation of ground flutter, they want the coming to a stopbody is very difficult, can only seem like drunkgeneralcrookedis maintaining the balance of bodyreluctantly.

至于其他的冒险者也好不到哪里去,在地面颤动的情况下,他们想要站稳身体都很困难,只能够像喝醉了酒一般歪七扭八的勉强保持着身体的平衡。而就在这个时候,意外发生了—一个战士朗朗跄跄的向后退了几步,接着一头撞在靠墙站在一起抱成一团的艾娜和蒂莉丝身上。而两个少女则完全没想到这时候居然会有猪队友在自己身边,使得她们顿时失去了平衡,向后倒去。Butatthis time, the accident/surprise happened.
而就在这个时候,意外发生了。

一道漆黑粗大的裂口就这样忽然毫无征兆的从墙壁上浮现,接着一路延伸着向前扩散开来,很快就在地面上形成了一道深不见底的深渊,这道缝隙出现的是如此突然,使得冒险者们完全没有反应过来,只听见一声惨叫,下一刻艾娜与蒂莉丝就这样直接坠入缝隙之中,很快便被黑暗所吞没。Opportunity!

看见这一幕,詹恩眼中顿时闪过一道光辉,他飞快的扫了一眼远处的太阳之镜,随后便急忙转过身纵身跃下,只是眨眼的工夫,他也跟随着两人一起陷入了深渊之中,消失不见了踪影。(未完待续。)
