Chapter 992: Elemental Harem (9)
Griffin, a typical wind type of magical beast, has long been extinct in the Kalmdo steppe, only the northern ice field and coastal forests and islands near the Elven Forest have a small distribution, but in the human realm, they live very well - after being domesticated by humans, the griffin has become an excellent riding monster, and the griffin cavalry that forms the formation is a high-end combat force in secular warfare, and even a trump card, in a sense, it can even be comparable to a military mage.
"Griffon...... Finally seeing it alive," Leo also sighed a little, "I didn't expect it to be wild." ”
The nest consists of two parents, one male and one female, and three cubs, and their nest is built in a stone cave.
I'm interested not only in their existence, but also in the environment in which they live.
"D'Ambro should be shown to take a look." I say.
The cracks in the stone walls and the stone caves are not only the habitat of these magical beasts, but also the living space of the plants here.
If measured by the ecological environment of the main plane, it is almost an unsurvivable wasteland, but the animals and plants here can absorb the ubiquitous ether in addition to absorbing material nutrients, so the ecology here seems to be desolate and barren, but in fact it is still full of life, at least, it is a little better than the underground world without sunlight, and it is reasonable to feed the plants at the bottom, forming a complete set of food chain network.
The adult griffins took turns going out to find food for the cubs, and it was interesting for us to watch here, and the Tyrannosaurus rex also glanced at the binoculars a few times, and when he saw this scene, he seemed to remember something, and his mood was a little depressed.
I knew that it remembered its biological parents again, so I comforted it and said: "You have also seen people selling chicks in the market, in fact, the weaker the animal, in order to survive, it will give birth to many offspring, so that even if most of the cubs die due to accidents, only one or two survive, the race will not be extinct, and because they are weak and do not have enough wisdom, they only have basic care for their offspring, and there is little emotional communication......"
"I've read these in books, and I understand that even if my biological parents come to me, they won't remember me, like, just like the fish in the river on the farm, giving birth to tens of thousands of roe, they won't remember that one of them became a monster," Tyrannosaurus rex said. ”
"You know where you come from, but I can't even remember what it was when I was alive." Ricardo also joined in the reassurance.
"When you remember, will you go to your loved ones?" Tyrannosaurus rex asked.
"I don't know what I was when I was alive, and I don't know how much time has passed since I died, and I don't know how much time has passed since I died, although it is very likely that I was an intelligent being, and wouldn't it be funny if I remembered that I was a man hundreds or even thousands of years ago?" ”
"Haha!" Tyrannosaurus rex smiled, "Then you have a bunch of grandchildren's grandchildren......"
"In that case, even if you stand in front of them, they won't recognize me, what's the difference between your situation and yours?" Ricardo said.
"Tss Looks like we're really the same......" said Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Freemasonry?" Leo said, "How can there be such a far-fetched explanation? ”
I listened to the serious and somewhat childish conversation between the two of them, and didn't interject.
When I think of my family, I am not full of helplessness?
Just as he was about to rejoin the conversation, Ricardo suddenly said, "There is a discovery." ”
"Found it?" Tyrannosaurus rex was the first to get excited, "It's better to be an easy guy to get along with......"
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Ricardo said, "No, it's not the wind element, it's a city." ”
"City?" I was stunned for a moment, "Here, there is a city?" Built by intelligent beings? ”
"It should be a relic," Ricardo said, "and the damage is severe." ”
"It turned out that it wasn't ......" Tyrannosaurus Rex was a little disappointed.
But I was interested: "Let's go, let's see!" ”
"It's not a good thing," said Leo, "and it's hard not to see......
Ricardo put away his binoculars, and we flew towards the ruins of the city.
The ruins were nearly fifty kilometers away from us, slowly turning around the eye of the storm, but not on their own.
When I flew nearby, I saw clearly that the whole of the ruins was a boulder with a diameter of more than 500 meters, and the remains of the building only occupied a side of less than 100 meters, as if a pattern the size of a tiger's mouth was carved on the side of a fist-sized stone, and it was carved by a novice with rough techniques.
Speaking of which, we were lucky, if the angle was a little bit too far, we would have missed it.
The part that can be seen can make people think that this is a building relic, which is a row of stone pillars more than 20 meters high. The pillars themselves were carved out of the rock face, and they didn't have much support, but they conveyed a message that there were people living here.
In addition to the stone pillars that barely hold their shape, there are also some symmetrical steps, and although they are badly worn, traces can still be seen.
Landing on the steps of the ruins, I found that the stones were much more damaged than what I could see from afar.
"The pillars of the Greek temple? It's so high, not to mention a human, even an orc temple is nothing more than that," Leo said, "but looking at these steps, it's either human or elf, and it's more likely that a human is a human." ”
"I don't see anything at all." I stepped forward and touched the scarred stone pillar, "It shouldn't be of much value." ”
"Tw, is there anyone here?" The Tyrannosaurus rex said, "Impossible, right? ”
"It's a relic that someone lived here." Ricardo said.
"Who would live here? Is it a wind mage? Like, what's that called, the magician of the Lighthouse Society? Tyrannosaurus rex said.
Although its speculation is very mischievous, I am relieved that its cognition and mind are constantly improving.
"It's the process of solving puzzles that is fun." I said, "If you exercise your brain regularly, you will become smarter." ”
"I've seen it!" Tyrannosaurus rex said, "Exercise the brain...... book"
"Is there such a book?" I'm in a trance.
"Doesn't seem to have it......" Leo wasn't quite sure, "Vincent, they wrote?" ”
"What's the title of the book?" I asked Tyrannosaurus rex.
"Called, well, what are you called, brains circle......" said Tyrannosaurus rex.
"Is there a book?" I muttered to myself and asked Leo, "When was it written?" ”
"Brain warp sharp turn!" Leo shouted, "Ha, I'm just writing to play!" I didn't expect to be discovered by it! Haha, this thing is just for recreation, and it was originally intended to be published in the newspaper, but it is not something that improves brain power! ”
"Oh," I pretended, "that's a brain teaser." ”
"I think I've read that book," Ricardo said, "it's all a little bit of logic, and it's not very intellectually effective, but it's mostly funny and absurd." ”
"You mean, it's useless?" Tyrannosaurus rex asked.
"There should be a little bit of reflexes, divergent thinking," Ricardo said, "but that's not really knowledge and wisdom." ”
"I thought ......" Tyrannosaurus rex was a little disappointed.
"It's still useful," Ricardo added, "and my father's books are not useless, at least they develop a little sense of humor." ”
"That sounds right." Tyrannosaurus rex thought for a moment and said.
"There are still many books you haven't read, so it's good to go back and find time to read more," I said, "and now, let's take a look at the relics left by some of them." ”
"It is a remnant of man," Ricardo said, "and in terms of the size of the steps, it is suitable for walking by humans and elves, and elves do not like stone buildings." ”
"Really?" The Tyrannosaurus rex flew to the top of the stone pillar, "And what about the humans there?" ”
"I can't really see this," said Ricardo, "and the patterns on it are so worn out that there is no way to refer to them, but the dimensions of these pillars are not the dwellings of the commoners, but probably the palaces of the nobility, or the temples." ”
"Yes," I said, pleased with his reasoning, "to continue." ”
Ricardo also walked over, stroked the mottled surface of the stone pillar, and said, "If it is in the main plane, the age of the ruins can be estimated by the degree of surface damage, but this is the anemo plane, and the impact of the sand and gravel brought by the wind on the surface of the stone blocks affects the judgment......"
"And what's next?" I asked again.
"If there are no conditions, we have to look for them." Ricardo said, "The easiest thing is to find a few architectural books to refer to and find out the style of these buildings, but unfortunately the books are all in Santas, and besides, these books are not very important, and they are not copied by Western Batch, and they are not available on the farm." ”
"There's no way, forget it," said the Tyrannosaurus rex, "and we're not here for that." ”
"Again," Ricardo said, "but we can't just leave it, and it will be easier to bring the clues back and consult the information." ”
"Do you want to go back with some stones?" Tyrannosaurus rex said.
"No value," Ricardo said suddenly, laying out a protective cover, took out a pen and paper, and began to sketch out the general appearance of the ruin.
"Interesting." Leo said.
"Didn't you arrange for him to do this?" I asked him.
"I mean, I have new clues." Leo said.
I had no choice but to say to Ricardo, "Think again, is that all I can gather?" ”
Ricardo drew a rough outline of the ruined building, marked it with dimensions, thought for a moment, and said, "Can we do some excavation properly?" ”
