71. Tower of Babel

However, the noise is always temporary, and Iowa is at most venting his dissatisfaction with the savings he has accumulated over the past few days, but he does not distrust Yuan Yi. After listening to Yuan Yi's explanation, she was relieved, but she showed obvious hostility towards Beizhai, because in her opinion, this woman was "dangerous" in every sense.

At first, it was Yiowa and Xuefeng, but the news of Yuan Yi's return soon spread throughout the entire town guard mansion, and the ship girls of the nameless town guard mansion also came out one after another to show their faces, the island wind's explicit hints, Pinghai's familiar whine, and Lin Xian's smile with a knife hidden in his smile, Chicheng was not interested in Yuan Yi, her interest and eyes were all attracted by the food and resources unloaded from the port.

Among these ship girls, the identity of Northern Sauce is undoubtedly very sensitive.

Because it was not only Yuan Yi who came back this time, but also Bam and his subordinates, if he could, Yuan Yi would not want to let the identity of Northern Sauce be exposed, after all, with Bam's shrewdness, it is not as simple as fooling these ship girls who are obviously lacking roots on the island - this is a matter that will be taken to a military court on the charge of collaborating with the enemy if it is not careful, if the East Window incident happens, those guys who are waiting for Yuan Yi's bad luck behind him should be happy.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved, after all, paper can't contain fire.

Bam and they didn't just stay on the island and leave this time, especially now that the Kuroshio was confirmed, it was impossible for Yuan Yi to let them go to Shuangyan Island again, it would be like sending them to death. What's more, after seeing Yuan Yi, Beifang Sauce didn't hide or hide, walked over with a snap, and then slowly crawled along Yuan Yi's thigh to his neck and occupied it, it would be strange if he could still hide it.

"This is the destroyer northern sauce." Yuan Yi said to Bam, who was surprised for a moment.

"It turned out to be the destroyer North Sauce, hello hello." What is called human spirit, this is it.

By the way, the big mackerel also wanted to do the same, and wanted to climb up along Yuan Yi's other trouser leg, but was kicked away by Yuan Yi, who was not angry.

"There's one thing I've been concerned about since just now," Lord Admiral, who was carrying the northern sauce on his shoulder, was grabbed by the other party's hair and lost his majesty, but pretended that nothing had happened, and solemnly pointed to the tall tower behind the town guard mansion and asked, "What is that?" ”

All the ship's mothers had the same expression: "Sa." ”

Neat shook his head.

"I remember the ruins over there......

"It was discovered by a large mackerel." After being kicked away by Yuan Yi, the big mackerel, who was not annoyed that he patted his ass and stood up, twisted his little ass proudly in front of Yuan Yi, as if he was asking for credit.

“!” Yuan Yi immediately vomited three liters of blood: "Did you actually unlock the secret of the ruins?" ”

It's no wonder that Yuan Yi reacted in this way, because he also spent a lot of time on this, but in the end, he didn't get any results. Now that she has been unraveled by the big mackerel, doesn't she say that she is more stupid than her......

"Even, toot...... There is a swagger. Northern Sauce, who was riding on Yuan Yi's shoulder, pulled Yuan Yi's hair and said.

"What, it turned out that it was Northern Sauce who helped." Yuan Yi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and looked at the big mackerel with disdainful eyes.

The big mackerel immediately jumped to his feet, waved his arms and argued: "Five big mackerel, two in the northern sauce." ”

"What's five or two, I don't understand what you're saying at all." Because the big mackerel was too short, Yuan Yi pressed her back with one hand.

"Dada Road...... Tower, Murala...... There is the West. Northern sauce said again.

"Are you telling the truth? That's really going to take a look. Yuan Yi touched his chin and thought about it, and made a decision.

The exchange between Beifang Jiang and Yuan Yi was no longer strange to the people in the town, but Bam was watching from the side in a cold sweat, although he still maintained a rather calm smile on his face, but, the cliff just now is the language of the deep sea, why can he communicate!

But don't care about anything else, if there are really ruins, Bam is also very interested, don't forget, the purpose of his cooperation with Yuan Yi is to find and salvage these ancient ruins, and find a possibility that will allow him to go back to his own time and space. And Yuan Yi almost had the same opinion on this, since Bam said that he was from the old human before the Great Tribulation, then it was possible for him to know what this relic was used for.

After all, the level of technology in the old human era is far higher than it is now, and if a prop like Lofe Carter's Oar can be used well, it may be able to greatly enhance its own strength, and it will definitely have a better chance of winning when defending against the Kuroshio.

Bam and Yuan Yi glanced at each other almost at the same time, and then they saw the plan in each other's eyes.

But after all, this is Yuan Yi's territory, and Bam will not do things that make the master feel unhappy with many people, so Bam picked a few cronies, and then asked his deputy Cassie to pick a group of people who have made great achievements in the archaeology of ruins to follow behind, and then together with Yuan Yi and these ship girls around him, they will move towards the tower of the target together.

Now it seems that it is completely impossible to imagine the appearance of the original ruins, and the altar-like platform has long been pierced out of the hole, and in its place is such a tall tower that is difficult to see from the neck, and it is not too much to describe it as reaching straight into the sky. And this building doesn't seem to look like it from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that this thing is definitely four or five hundred meters high, which is about two or three hundred floors of super skyscrapers when converted into ordinary floors.

Let's talk about its form, the tower is naturally the widest base, and then layer by layer to the top, now standing in front of them this tower is no exception, but its architectural style is quite peculiar, each of its floors is hollow, no walls, only supported by tower columns, the bottom layer is a total of 3996 stone pillars support, each step up is less than 12, so that the tower may have 333 floors, but it has no stairs, the way up is only by a circular wide snake road, In the outer ring of the entire tower, it is distributed in a spiral shape and extends to the top floor.

Yuan Yi couldn't help but sigh at the handiwork of the old humans, but after he finished visiting the tower on several floors in a row, he looked at Bam who was visiting with great interest beside him, as a soldier with pragmatism first, he didn't feel that this tower was built to have an egg.

The whole tower was empty, and there was nothing to be found except the stone pillars, unlike the ancient books, which seemed to have some stone carvings, stone tablet records, and so on, and no matter how bad it was, at least you should make a stone chair for people to rest - again, there was nothing in it.

But Yuan Yi can't say it too bluntly, in case something particularly powerful emerges like before, Yuan Yi won't slap himself in the face if he blows it up, so he decided to ask Bam's opinion next to him first.

"Bam, what do you think this tower is for, and what is it for?"

Bam withdrew his gaze from the stone pillar in front of him, and after instructing the staff under him to work freely, he turned his head to look at Yuan Yi and smiled a little noncommittally: "If I am not mistaken, this tower should be called the Tower of Babel." ”

Yuan Yi looked at him, waiting for him to continue to explain, but Bam was stunned and didn't say anything, and in desperation, Yuan Yi could only ask: "Then what is its origin?" ”

Well, the Tower of Babel means the Tower of Babel, a tower that symbolizes divine power, and it is related to a mythological story. Legend has it that a long time ago, the gods were dissatisfied with the sins of mankind and launched a flood to destroy the world, and only a few humans and creatures survived on the ark. After that, God forgave the sins of mankind and allowed them to continue to recuperate and survive in this world. Bam said slowly.

Yuan Yi had never heard of such an allusion before, and he was also interested in Bam's topic, but he still couldn't help frowning: "Why do I think your story sounds so real?" ”

Indeed, the catastrophe, the remnants of the civilization of the wind and candle, the human race that struggled to survive in order to survive......

Isn't this exactly the same as the current history of mankind?

However, Bam did not answer Yuan Yi's question directly, he just smiled and continued to tell the story just now: "Gradually, the descendants of those who first survived the human race, after a period of reproduction, with the hard work and wisdom of human beings, finally supported civilization again. They reorganized their tribes and founded kingdoms. Although the gods promised these humans that the gods would not launch another flood to destroy the world, it is human nature to "fear losing once you have it" or "being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope". So, a king named Nebuchadnezzar suggested that they build a 'ladder' to the place where the gods were, so that they could avoid danger in the heavenly kingdom where the gods lived if there was another flood in the human world. ”
