In this kind of underground city, the torches held by Brutus and others are no longer the only source of light. Every thirty steps along the street, there is a street lamp made entirely of starlight stones, although its brightness is quite weak.
, but better than nothing.
"Perhaps these star stones were originally able to shine completely?" Brutus thought to himself.
They walked on the central axis avenue that led directly from the city gate to the center of the city, all the way to the tallest and broadest building in the center of the city.
Judging from the number of street lights in the distance, the building was at least two hundred meters long, and the height was impossible to judge - at least it was far beyond what they could see.
"I'm becoming more and more curious about where the people here have gone." During the rest, Randall put a short spear on the wall of a bungalow and sat down on the spot. "I can't even see a corpse."
"Perhaps they have left here long ago." Wade guessed, "It must be hard to live here without seeing the sun all year round."
Anil took off the water bag from his waist and took a sip: "I am curious about what is in that building. Since it is in the center of the city, it must be a very important place."
Brutus took out a piece of bread and gnawed it. He was a little hungry after walking for so long: "We'll find out when we go in and take a look."
The four people finished resting and arrived at their destination after walking for a few minutes. The door of this building was a bit low, only about two meters high, but it was enough to accommodate five people passing through in parallel.
There are stone pillars built every few steps on both sides of the door. The nearest stone pillars on both sides are carved with exquisite stone carvings, and Brutus thinks that the other stone pillars may also be like this.
Time seemed to have never left any traces on these stone pillars. Brutus looked at them with interest for a while. Probably because of his lack of artistic literacy, he couldn't understand what was engraved on them after looking at them for a long time.
The door was also made of stone, with various patterns carved on it. But when they opened the door, it was not as heavy as they thought - because it was not pushed or pulled open, but slid open to both sides.
Hearing the sound of the door sliding to both sides, coupled with such an easy feel, Brutus suspected that there should be many smooth balls arranged at the bottom of the two stone doors. Although this technology, according to his understanding, is not applicable here.
This kind of ancient fantasy world is somewhat rare.
The four people opened the door, and when the firelight shone, they saw many broken skeletons and rusty weapons on the ground.
As soon as they entered the building, a dazzling white light emitted from the top, illuminating the entire hall.
Brutus looked up and squinted to find the source of light, but unexpectedly he didn't see any lamps. It looked like the stone building the top was emitting its own light.
"There are all these skeletons here. I think at least a hundred people have died here." Landers picked up a long sword from the ground, but as soon as he held the hilt, it fell into two pieces.
Landers smacked his lips: "How many years has this thing taken?"
Brutus looked at the long sword that fell from Randers' hand and fell back to the ground. He approached it with interest, squatted down and carefully observed the rust on it.
"Is this an iron sword?" He looked at the other weapons on the ground and found that they all seemed to be made of iron.
Anil and Joel didn't have much interest in this place, so they both suggested: "Let's continue to look inside. There are just a bunch of bones and useless weapons here."
The four of them walked carefully among the corpses to avoid being crushed by their feet. After passing through the front hall, they entered a larger room, which was filled with stone shelves that were already empty.
What is.
There were also many skeletons lying on the ground between the stone shelves, but no weapons were seen on them.
"Look at that, what seems to be placed on it?" Anil's eyes were very good, and he caught a glimpse of the items placed on the table in front, "Let's go over and take a look."
When they got closer, they discovered that it was a book that had been covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Brutus, come and see."
Anil and others seemed to have acquiesced in Brutus' literacy, and wisely stepped aside to let him approach.
"But I can't understand it either..." Brutus stepped forward, shook off the dust on the book, opened it and took a look. It was indeed him on the yellowed and somewhat incomplete pages.
Unrecognizable text.
"Dear visitor, if you have the opportunity to read this text, please take some time to continue reading. This is the last request of our tribe." A light voice came into Brutus' ears from beside him.
Of course, Brutus remembered this voice. He turned his head in the direction of the voice, but did not find Laxius.
He looked at the other three people again and noticed that they seemed to know nothing about it.
"What's the matter, Brutus?" Anil was a little curious about Brutus' sudden turn back. He looked back in the direction Brutus was looking, but didn't see anything special.
"This reads: Dear Visitor..." Brutus repeated what he had heard before.
"We call ourselves the favored ones of the Earth Goddess and follow her guidance to build a city here. After more than three hundred years of development..." This book seems to record the development history of this ethnic group, Laxius
I don't seem to have much interest in this, so I randomly picked a few important paragraphs and skipped a lot of content.
Brutus had no choice but to follow the forest goddess's wishes and quickly turn the pages until the last part.
"The last years of our tribe began with an accident. A few minor nobles used forbidden magic to create a twisted life that we had never seen before. It quickly absorbed the lives of those nobles, and then the world where they lived.
Neighborhood…”
"It grew very quickly, expanded rapidly, and soon crawled wildly in our city."
"We used all our weapons, but were unable to harm it at all. The residents in the city were quickly swallowed by it, and the remaining people lingered in this library."
"We ate all the food we brought and burned everything except the books... In the end, only the books could be burned. I thought we still had to leave something behind, so I persuaded the last survivor
Several people kept the book and finished it."
"...We should not touch the taboo of life and release a terrible monster. But what we should not do is expect an illusory god to save us..."
"God, you are not worthy of belief!" The person who wrote this text was probably exhausted from hunger. Even if Brutus didn't recognize these words, his resentment could still be seen from this paragraph, "Isn't that monster the earth?"
