Pirates of the First Empire

Sky Island, in front of the Temple of Bika

There is a large stone tripod at the entrance of the temple, which is used by the Bika people for sacrifices every year. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it. From the looks of it, only the word simple is enough to describe it.

Carlo and Tezolo heard Charon's complaints, and hurried up from behind. Sure enough, their reaction was exactly the same as that of Charon. This thing is indeed not as "sacred and inviolable" as the high priest said. " look.

Not to mention the temple, in the Kingdom of Andre, the ancestral temple built by some wealthy families is not worth mentioning. Carlo and the others can’t tell whether it is god or not, but in terms of the temple, this temple is worth mentioning. The stone house seems to be out of the question.

"Second Highness, are you not mistaken?"

"Well, wait a minute, I'll take another look!"

Hearing Tezzolo's words, Carlo took out Bica's map from his pocket with some doubts, planning to take a closer look, what if he really found the wrong person?

At the same time, Charon ran to the big stone tripod that the Bika people worshiped, and looked into it with some interest. The big tripod was at least three meters deep, otherwise Charon would have grown tall enough, probably You have to jump up and watch.

Boom~Boom~~~

"Is this... metal?"

Charon reached out and patted the inner wall of the cauldron heavily, and the clear and thick sound echoed in the cauldron. He did not expect that this cauldron, which looks like a stone on the outside, is actually made of metal inside, or...

"That's right, it is indeed here. Looking at the moon from this place, it is the brightest and clearest place in the entire Bika. The legendary Bika lineage also comes from the moon, so it must be right."

Carlo carefully looked at the map against the moonlight, and at the same time looked up at the moonlight above his head. Not to mention, seeing the moon in a place like Sky Island is indeed much clearer than in the sea, even, Even the area of ​​the moon in the eyes has grown a lot.

"Charon, have you found anything?"

"Well, this tripod should be made of metal. First of all exclude gold, I think it is definitely not gold."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Charon replied solemnly, but Carlo and Tezolo were a little speechless. The material of the tripod seemed to have nothing to do with their trip. Besides, if the tripod was made of gold, Tezolo should have sensed it long ago. It's here, do you still need to say it?

"No, Your Highness!?"

Just when Carlo looked at the silly smiling Charon with a speechless face, Tezolo spoke, and he walked to the side of the sacrificial tripod, touching its surface with one hand.

After Tezolo felt it carefully, he said that the cauldron was indeed not made of gold, but he could feel that it was mixed with gold.

Although there are not many, the structure must be very stable, because even he, a golden fruit capable user, cannot directly manipulate the mixed gold.

Of course, it is also possible that the gold is not contained in the cauldron, but the outer layer of stones. For a while, Tezolo was also a little confused.

"Did you find anything, Tezolo?"

"Well, I have some discoveries, but well, the two Highnesses can wait for a while, and I will verify it again."

Both Carlo and Charon were attracted by Tezolo's words. They came to the tripod and asked curiously. Tezolo thought of something, let go of the hand that touched the tripod, and turned his eyes to the stone temple. .

Tezolo came to the gate of the temple. Because the temple hadn't been opened for a long time, the Bika people didn't even dare to approach it easily. The entire stone temple had already been occupied by moss, and the whole one had almost become a "green temple." ", it's just that the moon is dark and the wind is high, it's not obvious.

Just like what he did just now, Tezolo also used the sensitivity of his knowledge color and devil fruit ability to the elements he controlled to initiate a perception of the entire temple.

However, this time, in order to get a clearer answer, Tezolo turned the gold ring on his hand into a sharp, slender knife, and directly inserted it into the thick stone.

"Sure enough!"

Feeling the resistance from the knife, Tezolo said to himself, at this moment, the knife was on the stone gate, and it had already sunk into the body of the knife, but at this moment, it seemed to be blocked by something, unable to go any further. a trace.

After sensing it, Tezolo took back the golden knife and turned it back into an accessory with his manipulation ability, then slowly opened his mouth to Carlo and Charon, telling his discovery.

"Your Highness, it seems that we were all deceived by the simple appearance of this temple. It is not a stone temple at all, but because we stayed here for too long, it was covered with layers of stones."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately camouflaged the temple. In short, according to the results of my analysis, this temple should be made of pure metal!"

"Moreover, it's not just one or two metals, but many kinds, because when I touch it, it gives me the same feeling as our Andre's battleship, although there is a small amount of gold mixed in it, But the structure is extremely stable, and it cannot be manipulated directly with abilities.”

After Tezolo reported his perception in detail, the results obtained. According to Doyle, this temple looks like a stone coat on the outside, but the inside is probably not made of "alloy".

As for the Bika people, over the past few hundred years, due to the loss of relevant records in the clan, even the high priest himself may not know that there is actually a universe in their temple, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface...

"This... I'll just say it! Since they are all called temples, there must be something magical about them, so this is it!"

Charon became excited again, as if he had discovered the information, said as soon as he slapped his thigh, and then looked at Carlo, as if asking what to do next.

And Tezzolo also looked at Carlo, the action this time was for Carlo, so what to do should be listened to Carlo.

But Carlo was silent at this time. He didn't speak, but slowly wandered between the cauldron and the temple, as if he was thinking about something, and he said after a while...

"I have an immature idea, let's dig out this temple hidden in the stone!"

"However, try not to destroy it. After all, this is someone else's temple. If there is no problem, what we do is at most helping them renovate the temple."

Carlo opened his mouth to order, but he actually already had some kind of guess in his heart. Combined with some wild ideas mentioned by Doyle in talking to them and telling stories with them, and the information he got from the high priest this time, Carlo has fainted. There is some guesswork.

Of course, all this was just his guess, so he didn't say it clearly, he just asked Charon and Tezolo to act first to see if it was really what he thought.

Moreover, if it is really what Carlo guessed, then this so-called "temple" has to say goodbye to the Bika people, and they also have to say sorry to the Bika people.
