75. Ancient Ruins Area
A divine clay board.
If it can be auctioned, it is very valuable, and there will definitely be many people scrambling to ask for it. However, from the long-term interests, it is more valuable to return this clay tablet to Esventer. Moreover, when talking to Tinny before, he had called the goddess' name many times. I believe that it would be difficult for this goddess to not hear it. Maybe Sean had just left, and Snowyo had already set out to find the divine clay tablet.
If it doesn't matter, it must be fake, but this thing can be seen but not used. Sean only forces himself not to think so much, just treat it as a contribution to the development of the territory.
The conversation between Sean, Cecilia and Tini did not fall into the other's ears, so only Sean and the other ones knew about this. After leaving the No. 3 Fire Cave and walking for about a day and a half more time, Daofeng finally began to become smaller, and it was not like the previous mountain road. Daofeng never stopped. Daofeng would stop from time to time, so the team finally got a rare rest time.
After briefly solving the problem of eating, drinking, defecation and urination, the team set out again under the leadership of Andre.
The trip this time was not long, probably only two or three days, but Sean soon saw another scene that he couldn't forget.
When I was still far away, I could only barely see some of the building outlines due to the fog. Although I had heard Andre roughly talk about the situation here on the road, Sean didn't feel much when he looked at the ruins of these buildings through the fog.
But when the morning sun shines down and dispels the fog, what appears before Sean is a disaster like the end of the world!
The stone walls that were more than thirty meters high were supposed to be connected to the mountain walls on both sides. In addition to the wall on the left and the mountain walls, the whole piece on the right had collapsed, and there were many gray wall bricks and stones on the red land. Judging from the different colors of the depths and shades of these stones, it is obvious that many places are not products of the same era. Perhaps in the past few years, the Kingdom of Dabiang has tried countless times to build a fortification here that can officially resist the troops of the wilderness, but all of them failed without exception.
Although Sean is a blacksmith and can draw some architectural blueprints because of the lord system, it does not mean that he is an architect or craftsman, so he cannot tell the time of the last building from the colors on these stones. However, when Cecilia accidentally stepped on a stone and the stone immediately turned into powder, the oldest history may be traced back to a hundred years ago.
I don’t know how someone broke the collapsed stone wall. There was no trace left on the battlefield, but the stone wall on the left was still well preserved and could not be climbed up at all. Moreover, from the cross-section of the city wall, it can be seen that the thickness of the city wall is about four meters. Although the width is more than ten meters, after deducting the resistance thickness before and after, there is also a blank space of about five meters in the middle. I guess this should be the internal passage of the city wall. I just don’t know what the construction of this architectural structure was originally built.
Here is a channel with a width of about five meters, and a very thick layer of grayish-white powder is laid on the ground. It seems that it is a stone brick that has turned into powder due to time. However, because there are many people stepping on it, it has been compacted and completely integrated with the red land, so this grayish-white channel has been added.
Andrei said that slave hunters are accustomed to referring to this gray-white passage as the underworld road.
Because after crossing this path, it is a journey of fighting for character, because no one knows whether they will become the bones on the wilderness in the next moment.
Entering the world behind the stone wall through the underworld road is not as beautiful as I imagined.
It can be seen that this place was indeed built according to some kind of facility building, but it is unknown whether it is a fortress, a city, or a semi-militarized fortress. The only thing that remains now is the dilapidated foundation and countless ruins. The entire land looks dilapidated, just like building sand castles on the beach. As a result, after a wave of sea swells, the entire sand castle melts and is then stepped on by someone again.
Everything in front of him gave Shawn this feeling.
"Lord, this is the ancient ruins area." Andre said, "Overall, our slave hunting team calls this area behind the Ming Road the ancient ruins area, because it is said that the Kingdom of Dabiang tried to establish a unified stronghold here more than a hundred years ago, hoping to effectively resist tribal attacks invading wars in the wilderness from time to time. However, more than five buildings in the past hundred years have only been killed. After losing a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, the Kingdom of Dabiang finally gave up this plan, so the ruins in front of him were found."
"It was formed naturally?" Sean asked curiously.
"No, it's a war." Andre said, "The Kingdom of Dabiang has carried out five buildings here. I want to build a huge fortress, probably it's a scale similar to the Tonis Fortress? However, it was only the closest to completion when it was first established, but the Kingdom of Dabiang was really bad. When the large tribes attacked together, the fortress that was almost completed was completely destroyed. Afterwards, it tried four times and used many methods and tactics, such as building a small town first, and then gradually building it gradually. Unfortunately, it failed without exception, so the Kingdom of Dabiang gave up this plan and became the current level over time."
Sean nodded slightly, and he looked around, and it seemed that he could witness a milestone that was almost successful.
But unfortunately, history always remembers the winners, not the losers.
Therefore, when the Tonys Fortress was successfully established, it caused a sensation in the world; as for the building in the Iceland Rift Valley, which cost significantly more than the Tonys Fortress, no one in the world knows it. Perhaps some people know it, but they only listen to it as a joke. Those who have never really come here cannot imagine how tragic the battle between this ruins was.
Every inch of land here is almost a battleground for military strategists, and it is completely piled up with human lives.
Sean even saw that there were many skeletons on this ancient ruin, but most of them were only one skull or a certain bone left, and most of them had disappeared. Just looking at the white powder on the ground that could already cover the ankles like snow, it is basically not difficult to imagine where the missing bones were gone. These bones are not just human race, but basically any racial bone that can be seen in any wilderness can be found here.
Of course, just a touch of light will basically turn into powder.
Sean probably understands what it is like to call this place the underworld road. But what makes Sean also curious is the extreme of the rift valley of the canyon - the Brave Wind Mountain section in the middle, where the strong wind is almost enough to tear people apart; the cold air in the three fire caves is obviously connected by one line, and Sean feels that it should not be just because of the divine clay board, but there must be other secrets; and in the ancient ruins area, it is said that there will be fog after nightfall, and there will be ghost fire. However, after the first ray of eyes shines in the morning, the fog will begin to be dispersed.
All signs show that the birth of the Iceland Rift Valley is definitely not as simple as ordinary people imagine.
At this moment, Sean suddenly missed the team in the game very much. At least, if he yelled on the forum, countless expert parties would definitely come to inspect the field.
etc!
Sean frowned suddenly: I had never heard of such a situation in the game, and those erectile gangs who were like flies did not come out, which was absolutely unreasonable. Then the only thing left to explain is that in the game, either someone solved the puzzle first before the erectile gang, so the abnormal state of the rift of the canyon; or it was all this that was really related to the divine plaque clay board. As long as the divine plaque clay board is taken away, there would be nothing special about the rift of the canyon.
Sean felt that if he had guessed correctly, when Xuefanio failed to preach, and after Eswinter's fall, the divine nature was stolen by the Ice God, and the divine clay tablet located in the No. 3 Fire Cave might have been taken away.
But even so, we can only explain the secrets of three fire caves. So what is going on with the secrets of the Daofeng Mountain Section and the ancient ruins area?
"Lord, we may have to speed up the trip." Just as Sean was thinking, Andre suddenly spoke, "The ancient ruins are not safe here, especially after nightfall, once the fog becomes thicker, it is likely to be only three to five meters in view, so we'd better speed up and arrive at the observation deck in front before sunset, which is the only clean place."
In this world, the birth of ghost fire is not just a spontaneous combustion of some kind of phosphorus fire like on the earth, but a species that truly belongs to the undead creature. However, this kind of ghost fire is just an unconscious spiritual body. Usually, if you attract ghost fire or make ghost fire violent, the danger is not particularly great. However, generally with the appearance of ghost fire, there are usually two creatures, skeletons and ghouls. Although no one has seen whether these two undead creatures appear, there are many people who are missing because they are still wandering in the ancient ruins area after fogging at night.
Sean didn't want to test his character, especially in some unfamiliar environments, so he decided to follow Andre's advice and rushed to the lookout table first before considering it. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy for the novel, which is better, updated and faster!)
