Chapter 492: The Golden Waste Capital Alamanda
The group explored this ancient city that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and frequently marveled at the magnificent buildings they saw.
The majestic minarets and high walls all have a pale golden sheen, and the streets are continuous and smooth as if they were cast as a whole, and although the city's buildings show signs of collapse and cracking, it is not difficult to imagine how glorious it was in good condition.
It's like the mythical city of ancient heroes, built by the gods and cast in brass and gold, which once inhabited a glorious civilization, but now it is dead and all that remains is the ruined wreckage.
They found a large collapsed building, which appeared to be a public place for gatherings, surrounded by roads and a large square. The building itself was nearly split in two by some kind of natural disaster that appeared to be an earthquake, and half of its walls collapsed, revealing the vast interior and elaborate volley corridor structure within. Lily jumped nimbly around in the rubble, collecting some golden gravel and coming back: "Look, landlord! What a stone! What a stone! β
"How long has this place been abandoned......" Hao Ren looked at the large ruins around him, these building materials were clearly different from those on earth, they showed almost no signs of weathering, and every piece of fragment was as clean as new except for being shattered by external forces, "The Angry Spirit made this place?" β
Anna was carefully guarded in the middle of the group, she was the only one who could uncover the secrets of this place, and she knew it herself, so she had been frowning and trying to scan the twisted and chaotic memories from her mind, looking at the ruined city in front of her. The apparitions that the wrath had sketched in her brain gradually became clear and overlapped: "Alamanda, the name of this city is Alamanda. It is one of the last three cities. β
"Remember?" Hao Ren looked at Anna expectantly, he knew that the girl's memories had become the key to exploring this lost world.
"Allamanda was one of the last sanctuaries in Tanagus. It's made of metal, and the whole city is shrouded in a grand protective cover," Anna tapped on her temple, "I can only roughly tell from what surrounds me that we're in the middle of the city - the image of the evil spirits in my mind is not exactly the same as here, the Allamanda of my 'memory' is an intact city, the sky is shrouded in lilac, every building is shining, and the streets are full of ...... Person. β
"Apparently that was before the city was deserted," Vivien touched her chin. "Fury Spirit...... A group of spirit creatures would not build such a city, these buildings are clearly intended for physical creatures, and looking at the steps and handrails, their users should be closer to humans. β
"And there are these two keys, the angry spirits obviously don't have fingers, they don't need to play with this......" Hao Ren muttered and took out the two keys from his pocket, only to be surprised to find that the two small devices were gradually changing color, from gray-black to pale gold like the surrounding building debris, "Uh...... What's going on? β
Becky suddenly remembered the black stone pillars she had seen on the dark snowfield - billboards. Bus stop signs, message boards - the color of the stone pillars was clearly not in keeping with the city, but now that she saw the two keys turn gold, she finally understood what was going on: "This is supposed to be their original appearance, which may have been oxidized on Earth." β
Lily glanced at Becky: "Don't use these terms if you don't understand them." Is this how oxidation and reduction are used? β
Betsy crossed her hands on her hips: "It's not easy for me to learn how to surf the Internet and scold people on the street after two months of being on Earth, okay, can you not worry about my modern chemistry knowledge!" β
Anna and Nangong Sanba were stunned for a moment, they didn't know what Becky's mouth meant by the otherworldly. However, Hao Ren didn't give them a chance to ask. Because he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be buried under the collapsed rubble in front of him: "There's a statue there!" β
Lily was overjoyed when she saw that there was another opportunity to dig the pit, jumped up and ran over. By the time Hao Ren and the others followed, the girl had already dug up the layer of waste with her hands and feet, and there was indeed a golden statue buried underneath. Lily reached out and pulled the statue out. By the way, there was an exclamation: "Wow! This thing is so heavy! β
Hao Ren looked at the humanoid sculpture in amazement, which presented the image of a humanoid creature: the humanoid had a slender body, a flat, wide face, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose, long arms, and a gorgeous and intricate garment. The statue's arms folded on its abdomen are in an elegant and proper standing posture, and it is placed here perhaps for decorative purposes.
This is undoubtedly the image of the natives of this lost world.
And there's no doubt that he doesn't look like the Wraith...... Well, it's completely different, does the angry spirit have a look?
"This is the Tana people," Anna caressed the statue's face, a wave of nostalgia welling up in her heart, but she knew that this nostalgia was not her own, but the feelings that the evil spirit had tampered with in her memory, perhaps the evil spirit was remembering the form she once had, "The inhabitants of Tanagus used to be, but now the race is extinct. β
"Tanagus," Nangong May blinked, "You mentioned this name again, is it the planet under our feet?" β
"Well," Anna nodded, "but I still can't remember much more, maybe I'll remember it when I see more ruins." β
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Okay, then let's continue to walk deeper...... Becky, what are you doing? β
Hao Ren turned his head and saw Betsy standing next to the sculpture in a daze, and couldn't help but ask curiously, the latter was clubbing in place as if she was stupid, she reached out and touched the sculpture's arm, and suddenly let out a strange cry after a while: "Ahh Ahh β
Hao Ren made Betsy's throat sweat in fright, and after reacting, he also jumped up: "What are you talking about?!" β
"This, this, this...... It's gold! Betsy wrung her thighs hard, and then she jumped onto the statue and began to pull and pull, trying to drag the thing away, "Gold, gold, gold! β
As soon as Lily saw the situation, she exclaimed, "Landlord, landlord, she's sick again!" β
Hao Rensan rushed to the side of the statue in two steps, patted the statue and patted Betsy who was convulsing: "Are you sure?" β
"My life is to look in the mirror and admit my mistakes, and I can recognize gold well!" Betsy tugged at the statue's leg and pulled it out, her face flushed, "Gold gives me strength...... Damn, the spiritual power can't do the laws of physics, how did you pull this thing out of several tons of Lily! β
Lily stepped forward and carried the sculpture on her shoulder: "Because it's not too heavy." β
Betsy was still hugging the sculpture, and from a distance, it looked like she had been picked up by Lily: "Let's get this thing back!" I don't have to worry about it in my life! Landlord, you can also buy the whole street! β
To be honest, at this time, Hao Ren and the circle of people next to him were a little blindsided, and Vivian, an unlucky guy who had been poor all her life, even felt like she was going to be a fairy. Nangong Sanba pinched his thigh: "What kind of local tyrants lived in this place back then......"
"Surprised?" The beating voice at the end of the count suddenly interrupted the excitement of the crowd, "Look around you. β
Hao Ren looked around, and everywhere he saw was the pale golden ruins of buildings.
"Everything here contains a certain amount of gold, but the faΓ§ade of the building contains less gold and is only used for coloring, whereas this sculpture is pure gold. Gold is not a symbol of wealth on the planet - it is just a common material, and because of its high density, it is often mixed with things like cement and light metal, just like sand. β
Everyone: "......"
"If the conditions are right, you can even find the planet diamond and the planet gold in the universe. Of course, the probability of this is very low: the proportion of gold released after a supernova explosion is still very small in all matter, but again, as long as there is enough coincidence and the right conditions......" said the number of people as he flew around the crowd, "it will be like this...... Gold everywhere. β
Hao Ren suddenly recovered from his stunned state at this time, he pinched his arm, and then turned his head to look at Betsy: "You cut a small piece and take it away as a souvenir, and then we will continue to be busy." β
Betsy was stunned: "Huh? β
The number of jΓΉ terminals touched the back of Hao Ren's head with satisfaction: "Very good." (To be continued......)
