Chapter 273: The Ancient Kingdom

Lovedrew is a sizable island, and in terms of size, it could build a city with a population of tens of millions, and there is plenty of room for its inhabitants. Fastest updates

800 years ago, there was such a city here, but at this time there is no breath of human life here, those original buildings, of course, have become the "relics" of ancient civilization, and because of the coastal geographical environment and harsh climatic conditions, the wind and water erosion here is serious, to hundreds of thousands of years later, the state of preservation of the ruins is quite bad.

The world's only great treasure is hidden in this crumbling city by the sea.

There was a fairly tall tower by the sea, which seemed to be used to dock something, but it was obvious that it could not be a ship, because it was too high.

"What is one'piece? I always felt like I had a clue. Qiubai withdrew his hand from an iron frame on the tower that shattered at the slightest touch, and gently brushed his fingers to rub off the rust.

Beneath this iron frame is a heavily weathered human skeleton, and the rough outline can still be seen today, because of the layers of iron liquid poured on his body.

This may be a guilty man, otherwise he would not have bothered to give him such a punishment, and his distorted facial expression illustrates the pain he suffered back then.

The one'piece certainly can't be a bunch of gold and silver treasures, otherwise it would be too disappointing.

Leaving the tower, the crowd continued their march towards the interior of the city.

"Here...... There was a fight, right? Luo said.

Although everything around us is completely incomparable to that time due to the time of day, if you look closely, you can still see that there seems to be a war here, on one side of the war is the defenders of Ralph Drew, and on the other side is the sudden intruder.

Human bones are difficult to preserve, but the remains of many, many gigantic creatures can be seen along the way, with two long fangs, thick limbs, and huge bones, and it is hard to imagine that this is a creature that can be tamed by humans and thrown into war.

Further on, before entering the city, a red rock wall stood in front of them, on which a fresco recorded quite a very crucial message...... This may be the description of the "blank 100 years".

Monet stepped forward, checked it for a while, and then said quite firmly, "It's the same material as the historical text." ”

It is precisely because of this stone that the murals engraved on it can be preserved intact at this time.

However, it was covered with a thick layer of ash, and it was still unclear what was painted on it.

"Let's wipe it." Qiu Bai commanded.

There was no water around, and it was some distance from the sea, but it wasn't a problem, and soon a string of homely blue orangutans in aprons were called from the side of the Barubatos, and they were busy carrying the water, jumping up and down with rags, up and down, up and down...... The advantages of the orangutans are also brought into play, even if it is such a tall cliff, they are also walking on the ground.

Their work was smooth and efficient, and the place was soon cleared out completely, and it was approaching evening, and the cold afterglow of the sun shone on the huge stone, giving it a bright red color, just like the things it had recorded.

The petroglyphs are not a single piece, but are arranged one by one in chronological order, starting with a huge map of the world...... This is quite different from the current world map, at least this world map does not seem so fragmented, and the proportion of land area is much larger than it is now.

On this map of the world, there is a thick line that outlines a huge territory, which even occupies more than half of the entire world...... A long time ago, there was such a huge and powerful country in the world.

This is an "empire on which the sun never sets" in an alternative sense, and the sun's rays will always shine on the land of this country.

The next few paintings are devoted entirely to the country's strength, with tall buildings, rich life, bizarre means of transportation, and a powerful army, all of which show that at that time, the country had created a highly prosperous and advanced civilization, which was even far superior to the present.

What is even more commendable is that the country is enterprising and exploratory, with heavily armed armies fighting all kinds of enemies and even protecting their own citizens from the Sea Kings.

However, this strength may be the root of its demise.

"Grued, if there really was such a country in the original world, its name might be the Kingdom of Grued." Monet pointed to the ancient characters hidden in the petroglyphs and said, sure enough, the words left on the historical text are the words used by this country and this civilization back then.

"It doesn't matter what the name is now," Qiubai said, pointing to another place, "The fish-man was a slave of this country in the first place, right?" ”

He pointed to a place where the country's soldiers were driving a group of fishmen deep into the ocean floor, which was supposed to be some kind of exploratory act.

"The kingdom system is a relatively special system, and no matter how wise the king is, this kind of wisdom is only for his own people, and perhaps the civilization of this country is rich and the people are healthy, but the 'aliens' obviously do not enjoy this kind of treatment...... The monarchy is always accompanied by a system of servitude, which is very difficult to eradicate. ”

Qiu Bai glanced back at Princess Shirahoshi and said, he actually wants to say that any human civilization has a hierarchy, and the slavery system will always exist, but the form of expression is different, at the beginning it may be quite naked and undisguised, but as civilization progresses, it will become more and more hidden, and finally hidden in everyone's consciousness.

So did slavery disappear in the age of the lord?

Of course it disappeared, that's for sure, otherwise the book would have disappeared, and wouldn't the surplus value and exploitation have long been dried up?

Everybody has to believe this.

Naturally, no other small country in the world could be a match for this behemoth, and the only thing that hindered the country's progress and further expansion of its rule was creatures like the Sea Kings and the catastrophic climate of the sea.

So they set out to solve this problem, and they started all kinds of scientific experiments, and in such a powerful and highly civilized country, it was easy and logical to organize such an event.

Many scientific experiments have succeeded, but more often they have stopped, after all, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and all kinds of problems can be solved after hard work, but it is the most ideal state, and more importantly, it is impossible to boil into a bald head.

The next picture is the turning point.

The mermaid princess meets the king of the country and presents him with something important found from the depths of the sea.
