Chapter 974: The Strange Sculpture Reappears

Among the ancient relics left by the gods of Olympus, there was a peculiarly shaped round platform that suddenly attracted Hao Ren's attention. The table is grayish-white in color, surrounded by intricate decorative patterns, and its upper part is a smooth flat surface that seems to have been used to place something. The whole round table feels like a pedestal of some kind of sculpture - except that what was originally placed on the pedestal is missing.

"Is there anything special about this platform?" Catrina couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Hao Ren stop next to an unremarkable "stone" platform.

"No...... I just feel a little familiar," Hao Ren looked at the intricate patterns around the round platform, and always felt that he had seen something similar in style, but he didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a long time, "Do you know what this is?" ”

"I don't know," Catriana wagging her tail, "there are some things I can tell you about here, but it's hard to say about the rest, the Kraken doesn't know much about the things of the earthly world, especially the items at the end of the mythological era - when the world was so chaotic that witches and aliens were red-eyed, we greatly reduced our communication with the earthly world, and most of the items that fell into the deep sea in that thousand years were not explained." ”

Catrina then sighed softly, "Many things will never be traced to their origin and purpose, and their creators have been cut off by an entire race. ”

At this time, Lily also came over, and she circled around the round platform curiously: "Caterina, this platform is like this when it goes to the sea?" Is there anything else on it? ”

Katrina touched her chin and finally remembered something about the stone platform: "Oh yes, there used to be a badly broken sculpture on it. But only half of the statue remained, and it was not long after the platform was brought in that half of the statue was gone. She shook her head slightly as she spoke: "Originally, I thought that the statue was one with the table." ”

"Missing? Disappear under your noses? Hao Ren's heart moved when he heard this. Something vaguely came to mind.

At this time, Vivien suddenly reacted, and she slapped her face and exclaimed, "Ah, I remember! The last time I went to the Athenian shelter. Let's find a broken space left by the Olympian family, isn't there a temple there? There is a sculpture in the temple! The pattern of the table under the sculpture is exactly the same as this! ”

Lily didn't remember what Vivien was talking about at first, but she stared at the latter's face for a moment before she reacted, "Oh yes! I also remember, it's the bat that was carved into stone statues, right? ”

When the husky girl talks about Vivian, every sentence contains at least five plus signs, and the latter can't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she hears her description: "The dog really can't say anything good out of his mouth...... That's right, it's the 'stone statue' I was offered......"

And at this moment, Hao Ren has set off a lot of ripples in his heart. When the remains of the Temple of Olympus were discovered in the Athenian Sanctuary, he wondered why the Olympians had placed Vivian's stone statue in their temple, and although Vivian was friendly with the Zeus family, she was not a member of the Olympian lineage, and her relationship with the latter was far from close enough to place her statue in the ancestral temple. But at that time, Hao Ren and his entourage did not have time to find out more things. The entire space collapsed and disappeared, and with many events that happened after that, Vivien's mysterious stone statue was forgotten by everyone.

But he didn't expect that this thing, which was now almost completely forgotten, suddenly appeared again, coupled with the fact that Hao Ren had learned a lot of information related to Vivien and the Goddess of Creation by now, the stone platform in front of him suddenly gave him an inexplicable sixth sense.

He felt that the things behind this were probably not simple.

Hao Ren carefully inspected the surroundings of the stone platform, and asked the data terminal to decipher the intricate patterns and symbols around the stone platform, and asked Caterina: "Except for knowing that this thing is from the Olympus family, you have no information at all?" ”

“…… After the collapse of Mount Olympus, it was the last thing to fall into the sea. Catrina frowned and carefully recalled, of course, the "Olympus" she was referring to was not the one on Earth, but the mountain of the same name created by the Zeus family in another dimension in the past," according to the observer report at the time. She saw a sudden flash of red lightning light over the Greek Peninsula, and then the lightning shattered the cloud bridge connecting the Greek Peninsula and the Sky Temple, revealing the Olympian space. Hung in the sky for hours. Then Mount Olympus began to crumble in the sky, and the witcher struck a temple halfway up the mountain with a throwing spear. The fire quickly spread to the top of the mountain, because gravity was out of whack. Some of the seawater was even sucked into the sky. Then the light on the summit of Olympus went out, gravity turned again, and all sorts of things fell from above. This stone platform fell at the end...... Oh yes, it is said that there was a woman with a golden spear and a round shield who fell with the stone platform, but she was burned to ashes in mid-air by a heavenly fire from the witcher. ”

“…… Among the main goddesses of Olympus, Athena is the only one who wields a spear and a round shield, and the last temple to collapse at the beginning is also Athena's temple," Vivien frowned slightly, bending down and touching the edge of the stone platform with her hand, "I have been friends with the Zeus family for many years, but they are studying some ...... behind their backs"

Before she could finish speaking, the stone platform suddenly released a ray of light, interrupting all her movements!

When Vivien's fingers touched a rune on the stone platform, an ancient spell seemed to be activated, and those mysterious and complex patterns became active in an instant, and the light of the stars flowed through the gaps in the runes, quickly lighting up the entire pedestal. Just when Hao Ren and the others were still stunned and didn't know what was happening, a large amount of gray-white particles emerged from the surroundings and condensed above the pedestal in the blink of an eye.

A lifelike statue of the goddess appeared on the stone platform, this idol was richly dressed, life-tall, and the details of her face were vivid, it was Vivien.

"I'll you!" Lily jumped up suddenly, "Activated!" ”

Katerina stared at the scene in front of her, she had just said that there was a broken sculpture on the stone platform, but the sculpture had disappeared a long time ago - and then she suddenly realized that the sculpture was probably not missing, but that the sculpture had been hidden after the runes below had stopped working!

"What's this...... Is the holographic projection device researched by the gods of Olympus......" Hao Ren calmed down a lot when he saw such a god for the second time, "Vivian, what did you do just now?" ”

"Just touched it," Vivien was confused, "Did it just sense me and activate it herself?" ”

"The question is what's the point of such a thing," Hao Ren used the data terminal to take a picture of the stone platform, and finally determined that this thing had no function at all except to form the image of Vivian, "The statue on it cannot be moved, it cannot be replaced, and there is no hidden mechanism in the platform...... To put it bluntly, it's a one-to-one Vivian figure, but the image is quite real. ”

Vivian thought about it, thinking that her figure was placed in someone else's house like this, and there was more than one, and she suddenly hugged her arms and got goosebumps: "Why did I suddenly feel a chill." ”

Lily gave her a strange look: "To be honest, Zeus doesn't have a crush on you, does he?" ”

Vivian hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't make trouble, didn't you say that this is a ...... researched by Athena?"

Lily's expression was even stranger: "...... Athena's crush on you makes it even worse, okay? ”

"Can you say something useful," Hao Ren finally couldn't stand the two living treasures, "especially Lily, a god idol can make you dirty like this...... Well? What is it? ”

Hao Ren's attention was suddenly attracted by a line of small characters on the edge of the stone platform, and he carefully recognized it, and it took a lot of effort to spell out the words that were already a little missing:

Construction & ...... Contact...... Avoiding Disaster......

There are many letters on it that are mutilated, and it is difficult to piece together the full meaning, but one or two can still be guessed from the remaining words. The meaning of this phrase seems to be to establish a connection with some kind of "being" in order to avoid calamity. And seeing the statue of Vivien on the stone platform, it seems that it is completely certain who the mutilated predicate in this sentence refers to.

Everyone was a little stunned when they saw this line, and they all looked at Vivien, and Lily held back a sentence for a long time: "Bat, they seem to be planning to believe that you are safe......" (To be continued. )
