Chapter 16: The Strange Statue
The basement level was not very large, and the exploration was completed quickly.
Except for footprints and magic circles, there are no more strange places.
This made You very inexplicable, then, why did this magic array stay here?
And where is the treasure that changes the attributes of the leylines and creates a camouflage array?
Unconvinced, You carefully investigated all corners, but did not find anything.
Why did you find the magic circle here? And, why haven't so many scholars found anomalies?
These questions plagued You, and he could almost conclude that someone had invaded the place, but he couldn't find any more way to the basement.
No way, let's go back first.
Thinking so, Yu returned to the first floor.
The crisp sea breeze contrasted with the dreary air underground, and you couldn't help but take a deep breath. The musty smell of the air underground was really disgusting, and it was really hard for the scholars to stay in it all day.
Just as You was about to leave, suddenly, with a click, a large piece of the broken floor on the second floor fell down, and it looked like the structure that was originally weathered and about to be destroyed was finally completely finished.
The Ranger shattered the falling stones, and his hands were bloodied from it. Subsequently, it was visibly restored. The inhuman body is really easy to use.
He sighed with emotion, and glanced at the ceiling casually, and found that there were still several floors that seemed to be broken and stolen.
Really, send the Buddha to the west, come here, just help them deal with it.
It wouldn't be good if it suddenly fell off while the scholars were investigating.
Fly upstairs, the second floor and the first floor have a similar layout. Swim for the falling tiles and kick them off one by one.
It was then that he discovered a strange statue.
She is said to be strange because her style is incompatible with other statues. As mentioned earlier, the second floor and the first floor are similar in structure, and there are many statues of warriors with weapons standing next to the walls. This statue alone has no weapons. It seems to be a goddess or other god of worship, right? She was dressed in silk, with her arms folded, and half of her wings could be seen in the position of her waistcoat.
If it's just the shape of a goddess, it makes sense. At that time, although the Qiyao Church was not as extensive as it is now, it did appear. However, if you believe in the goddess, in general, you will put the statue of the goddess in the center, right? A feeling that the warriors fought for the goddess, or that the warriors were blessed by the goddess. There is no reason to mix the goddess with the ordinary warrior and put it next to the wall.
You looked carefully at the side, and there was no trace of movement, indicating that it had been here for a long time. You can see the footprints of scholars stopping to study, but there is no trace of movement. I guess I'm worried about damaging the structure of the ruins.
A whimsical idea came to mind.
Speaking of medieval castles, that's exactly what it is, right?
Dark passages.
Whether it's used to sneak up on the enemy or to escape.
Could it be that this is a secret passage? Do you deliberately use different statues to show the difference here?
Yu tried to knock on the bricks behind the statue of the goddess.
Knock knock -
It was a crisp sound. The wall made a sound that shouldn't have been made by stone. You hurriedly searched, and sure enough, he found a connecting gap near the ceiling.
It turned out that this whole wall was a secret door.
But because it's been so long, the mechanism to open the door is no longer found. You thought about it for three seconds and decided to break the ceiling - anyway, the ceiling here is rotten like this, so it's not bad for me to break off one more piece, right?
Thinking so, he casually gave birth to a big sword with three or five swords, and dug a passage from the ceiling. Sure enough, the place that seems to be the outer wall actually has a mezzanine, which is very narrow, and the body like You can barely move, and the slightly fatter ones may only move sideways.
Surprisingly, the air was fine. It seems that in case of emergency, if it is full of miasma, it will not be able to be used, and special attention is paid to ventilation.
O wisdom of the ancients!
I walked down the narrow passage until I reached the end, which was only a little wider, and probably enough for three people to stand together. There is a long vertical staircase that leads all the way down into the darkness below.
"I said how can I not find traces, it turns out that I have to go to the second floor underground, and I have to go up to the second floor above ground to find the hidden compartment, the wisdom of the ancients...... However, I don't know how the man got in...... Or did he not go in? ”
You muttered in his heart, but it was useless to think about it at this time. He climbed all the way down the ladder.
At first, it was still pitch black, but the further down it went, the light came through.
The ladder finally landed in a small room. On the walls, the faint blue light gives a dreamlike feeling. There was a swing door that almost blended into the wall, and You carefully observed the situation inside, and couldn't feel the breath of people, so he pushed the door open and squeezed in.
Enlightened.
On the other side of the turnstrum, there was a huge space, enough for the demonized Joachim to move freely inside.
As before, the walls were filled with an aqua-blue liquid-like light, and You thought it was the Qiyao Vein at first, but when you looked closely, it wasn't. It was something he had never seen before.
The room was empty, except for a huge statue of a knight.
It seems that it is about the same as the demonized You Chensi, and the sub-distance of more than 20 years is high. Other than that, there are no other decorations in the space.
This knight is incomparably huge, and he can clearly feel the difference from humans. In particular, the position of the joints, which is non-human, more like a mechanical cylinder, has ornate heavy decorative shoulder armor on the shoulders, and the chest is also heavy, but the waist is small and intimidating.
Let's put it this way, it's like having arms connected from the lower abdomen upwards, it's the mafia Garcia. And the lower abdomen is Yu Chensi's, this obvious volume difference.
The wrists have a structure similar to fist armor, and something like a cow's horn extends out, and the part of the face should be said to be human-like? Or is it not like it? You can see that he is wearing a helmet, but his eyes are hexagonal like jewels, and his mouth is covered by a face guard.
This thing is more like a "statue of a robot" than a "knight's statue".
But why? Is there a knight who happens to like this outfit? However, the abnormalities in the lower abdomen and joints are really unexplainable.
But if it's a robot, if you want to make such a huge robot move, it's not something that the "wisdom of the ancients" can explain. After all, this is a super-giant robot that has just been put into trial production even by an association that is known for its exaggerated technology......
You climbed all the way up along your ankles and knees. What the hand touches is neither the texture of a stone, nor the body that looks like a metal, and after climbing to the top, the head alone is about the size of Yutatsumi.
What is this statue?
Just when You Tatsumi wanted to take a closer look, suddenly, the smell of Qiyao Vein's activity came from the air. There was no place to hide, and You quickly shortened his body and hid in the position of this knight's breastplate.
At the same time, the wall that swam in the opposite direction was shining with a brilliant silver light. After a flash, You secretly looked, only to see that the wall was completely gone!
This was followed by the clatter of metal boots hitting the ground. Heavy sound. (To be continued.) )
