Chapter Twenty-Nine: Voyeurism
Su Chen observed his surroundings all the way, and explored all the way forward.
At the same time, he also tried his best to recall the characteristics of the "pedestrians" he met on the road, as well as every word that the red dragonfly girl who had been in close contact with him said, trying to get more clues.
Red Dragonfly Sister Paper does not seem to be a stranger to cloud cars, but she proposes that young organisms need to be accompanied by guardians to be able to ride cloud cars.
This shows that for the ethnic group of the Red Dragonfly Girl Paper, first, their larvae are very similar to the image of the Blue Star natives like Su Chen. Second, they may not be aware of the environmental changes caused by the overlapping and engulfing of the two worlds. Third, in their world, cloud cars are also a very common means of transportation.
In this way, the scope of the suspect list can be narrowed down a lot.
This unfortunate planet that overlapped with the Blue Star and devoured each other was probably at the same level of civilization as the Blue Star.
Moreover, considering their peculiar race, perhaps, the Blue Star people may not necessarily be the one who was slaughtered! To be more optimistic, maybe the people of the two planets can coexist peacefully!
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a lot more excited. He took off the magic talisman and slowly sneaked towards the castle complex with light steps, intending to take a closer look at how these strange-looking races usually lived.
However, almost every castle seems to be uninhabited.
It's just strangely filled with all sorts of stone sculptures, mostly gray-white or flaxen, with occasional brighter colors, but mostly blue-gray and ochre.
The style of painting of those stone statues is very simple, the lines of the knife and axe are very rough, and the image is basically the same as the little ones on the small round ball on the spire, and the size is many times larger than the little ones on the spire.
For example, in the first castle that Su Chen sneaked into, the height of the small statue of a horse-faced black-robed man standing on the top of its spire was about the length of his palm. And the statues of the various horse-faced black-robed people that Su Chen saw in this castle, the smallest one was two heads taller than Su Chen!
Su Chen felt that the atmosphere of this place was a little strange. Could it be that these castles are not places where the monsters live, but places like temple altars?
However, Su Chen wandered around the castle for a long time, and apart from seeing many huge statues, he didn't see any other iconic features that matched places such as altars or altars.
Su Chen explored the past one castle after another, and even knocked on the wall carefully to find out if there was a basement or something, but found that most of the castles were so lonely and deserted, except for some stone statues, there seemed to be nothing.
However, there is a lot of open space between the stone statues, and it is not clear what they are used for for the time being. In addition, some castles have old torches hanging from the walls, but they all look like they have been extinguished for a long time.
Su Chen was very tired from walking, so he simply found a position in the open space next to the stone statue, sat down for a short rest, and recovered his strength.
However, just a few minutes after sitting down, Su Chen's physical strength had not fully recovered when he heard a strange whisper.
It's like someone whispering in their ear, but they can't hear what they're saying. Su Chen was startled and bounced off the ground with a thud. He wanted to shout "who", but he controlled his impulse in time, only opened his mouth, and held back his voice. He finally remembered that he was spying on the enemy.
But the whispers in my ears began to sound again, interspersed with some melodious and meandering chanting, as if chanting some strange incantation, or some strange prayer.
Su Chen made a distinction and found that the whispering sound seemed to be floating intermittently from the deeper depths of this castle complex.
He was curious, and with a lot of powerful talismans with him, he simply continued to walk towards the place where the voice came from.
However, as we got closer to the source, the chants, which seemed to be whispers and some special rhythm, became more and more intermittent, and there was a feeling of simultaneous coming from all directions, in short, it seemed that the closer we were, the more difficult it became to hear.
Sounds a little drowsy.
There seems to be an intoxicating fragrance looming in the air.
It smelled like some kind of naturally scented twig burning. It seems to be some kind of perfume that has been carefully refined and repeatedly adjusted. Su Chen felt a little inexplicably intoxicated, and involuntarily took a few more breaths.
However, these few deep breaths did not bring the expected satisfaction, but made him feel more deprived and even wanted to breathe more. At the same time, his mind became more groggy and his steps slowed down involuntarily.
The green beads in Su Chen's dantian suddenly accelerated wildly, and the abundant spiritual power was once again instantly infused into Su Chen's limbs, and every cell in his body seemed to be thoroughly washed by the aura. Let Su Chen suddenly feel that his mind was clear, and his mind was fixed.
At this time, the tempting and intoxicating aroma came again, and it seemed to become a little stronger, but Su Chen discerned a strange sweet and greasy taste from it this time, and it seemed that there was still a bit of blood mixed in with it, and the previous fragrance was no longer intoxicating.
Su Chen raised his vigilance, it seems that the power of this aroma is really powerful. The always invincible peace charm didn't even stop its effect!
Su Chen sighed as he looked in the direction where the aroma came from, in fact, that direction was also the direction from which the chants and whispers with strange rhythms came from.
Initially, Su Chen only saw a puff of smoke. After tiptoeing a few more steps, Su Chen saw that behind the smoke, there seemed to be many figures in black robes standing in shadows.
Are they the strange orcs with hoods and black robes that show only half of a horse's face?
However, he remembered that the horse-faced men did not seem to have such short wings and thick, flicking tails on the backs of the horse-faced men that were torn open from their black robes.
Those figures in black robes were closing their eyes one by one, their hands were raised high, holding a kind of burning branches, their mouths were constantly chanting and sighing, humming songs that Su Chen couldn't understand, and three layers inside and three layers outside surrounded a circular platform.
From a distance, the table seems to be made of ochre-colored stones, and the overall shape looks like a square stove with a round cauldron embedded in it...... Although Su Chen felt that it might really be an altar.
To be precise, the appearance of that "altar" is quite similar to the kind of trophy called "bronze tripod".
Well, before joining the Galactic Federation, Blue Star had already developed a first-class space technology, and once excavated a large number of bronzes, gold and silver artifacts on a planet that was quite similar to Blue Star's natural conditions, but intelligent life had become extinct. Among them, there is this kind of bronze tripod with a square outer wall and a circular hemispherical inner wall.
Although most of the bronze tripods excavated on that planet are basically boxy on the outer wall, the inner wall is also boxy. However, Su Chen himself had seen this kind of bronze with a boxy outer wall and a hemispherical shape on the inner wall at the Museum of the History of Aerospace Science and Technology. However, Su Chen always insisted that it was a stove and a pot......
In other words, as a backward planet, the reason why Blue Star was able to be accepted by the Galaxy Federation and become a member of the Galaxy Federation is that the development of first-class space technology and space-time communication technology can be said to be indispensable.
Su Chen shook his head and quickly shook off these irrelevant thoughts. Relying on the protection of his invisibility talisman, he felt that no one could see him anyway, and endured the faster and faster heartbeat caused by the intertwining of excitement and fear, and quietly approached the "altar", intending to simply take a closer look.
This is a good look, Su Chen almost didn't exclaim.
