Chapter 409: The Land of Becoming a God or the Land of God's Forsaken?
"Such a big house is simply extravagant. Langdon walked around the building, from the first floor to the second floor, to the third floor.
"It's a pity that there are too few entertainment projects in this world, look, this building, obviously the higher it is, the more they live, the lower these floors are only used to put sundries and the like, but they obviously don't have so much sundries to put, so many houses are vacant. β
"If you want to replace me, here is a small theater, here is a computer room, well, at least five computers, and this one, too stingy, it should be connected with the two rooms on the side, and then dig through the bottom, get a swimming pool, and get a mobile platform above, usually swim, you can also open a party from time to time, how cool. β
The three of them continued up, and there was indeed no one left in the building, and they found the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, all on the fourth and fifth floors.
The things in the room are still very intact, and you can clearly see the most basic living environment of this civilization, of course, these things are the same as those in the factory, they have long been completely corrupted, and they may turn into a drop of dust as long as they are affected by a little external force.
"Huh, there's another floor here?"
I thought there were only five floors, but when I got to the fifth floor, I found that there was actually a sixth floor.
The staircase to the sixth floor was quite hidden, in a secret door to the largest bedroom, and if it hadn't been so corroded that the secret door was exposed, Langdon wouldn't have been able to find it.
The sixth floor is not very large, there are no windows around it, only a few vents, and there are a few tables in the room, and some tools are placed on the tables.
There is a bed in one corner of the room, but looking at the appearance of the bed and the furnishings of the bed, it is clear that this is not for resting, but for other purposes.
And against the wall of the room are large cabinets, which are divided into compartments and contain all kinds of things.
This environment was no stranger to Langdon, as it was a formal enchantment-specific workshop, and it was the most diverse material reserve Langdon had ever seenβthe cabinets were full of materials.
Looking at this enchantment studio, Langdon's eyes lit up a little, and then they darkened again.
He walked over to a workbench with a stack of skins for enchanted scrolls neatly placed in the corner, and with a touch of his finger, the pile of skins immediately turned to dust and fell.
The things here have not escaped the erosion of time, and the only things that can really be preserved in this studio are some ore-like materials placed in those cabinets.
Langdon told Avina and Kazvito to go out first, walking behind himself, and before going out, he stepped the ground and followed him out and closed the door behind him.
There were a few muffled noises in the door, and after a few more moments, Langdon opened the door, and the inside was completely changed.
The cabinets against the wall were gone, the workbench was gone, the bed was gone, all of them turned to dust from the vibration of Langdon's hard stepping.
All that remained in the midst of this upheaval was a small statue of an enchanted god, in the same form as the one in armor in the two statues outside.
Other than that, there are a few materials.
Langdon walked around the wall and picked up the few materials that had been hidden by the dust, and it must have been unusual that they could be kept for so long.
After putting away the materials, the three of them turned and left the building.
Be patient in the search, and the three of Langdon searched along the street one by one, some of the buildings were not closed like the first one, and some were closed, but the locks were also corroded and rotten.
The three of them went all the way and searched all the buildings on this side of the street.
"It's weird. Standing at the intersection at the end of the street, Langdon touched his chin and thought: "The previous factory was a mess, all kinds of work that had been stopped halfway, and I also speculated that they would leave collectively when they encountered something very important, and it was not a disaster, and even those workers themselves thought that they would come back in a short time to continue working, so some very personal daily necessities and other things were not taken with them, but they were not able to go back to the factory in the end." β
"If that's the case, based on the distance and the things we've found in the Corolla, the only place where so many people go en masse is this city, and it's probably something that happened in the city that caused the workers to come back en masse. β
"However, there is no one in the city now, so where have all the people in the city, at least hundreds of thousands, gone?"
Avina continued: "It is indeed strange, I have seen many things since I was a child, but I have never seen anything like this, they have not suffered from war, this can be seen from the integrity of the city, the whole city has no trace of war at all, and the people in the city seem to be the same as the workers, they did not expect that they would leave forever, and there are many things in those rooms that can tell the point, like the neatly folded clothes on the bed in the bedroom, And the scraps in the kitchen pots, that is, when the incident that caused everyone in the city to disappear, there were still people cooking. β
So, it's possible that a very exaggerated thing happened at that moment that made those people suddenly disappear while they were doing their own thing, and there is also a possibility that a big event happened at that moment that made the cooks, the eaters, and all kinds of people who did their own things stop what they were doing and rushed to participate in that thing. β
At this point, Langdon was suddenly stunned and asked Avina, "Have you ever heard of a man who attained the Tao and ascended to heaven?"
Avina shook her head a little dazedly, how could she possibly know the ancient proverbs of that world.
Langdon was slightly silent, and suddenly missed Lu Zijing a little at this moment, if she was there at this time......
"Are you talking about the god of enchantment?" The flat voice came, and he didn't need to look at people, just listening to the voice, he knew that it was Zhu Lingqi.
She and Hogg had apparently finished searching the street when they heard the noise.
Coming to Langdon, Zhu Lingqi said: "This kind of speculation, I am not as good as Zijing, but the adults have made it clear enough that this city is dedicated to the enchanted god, at least when this city exists, she should still be a person, and then, the people in the city seem to disappear out of thin air, and there should be only one answer to connect these things." β
"Hmm. Langdon nodded, "This is a person who attained the Tao and ascended to heaven, and it was here that the enchanted god became a god, and the people in the city, as her most faithful believers, were taken to the kingdom of God by her, so this place is empty." β
"Ah!" said Langdon, but heard Avina scream suddenly, and then, hearing her say, "I am reminded of another legend when my lord says this. β
"According to legend, in ancient times, there was a country that wanted to create gods, and they used the method of accumulating faith, but they did not create gods to follow gods, but to use gods and obtain his divine power. β
"One day, they finally succeeded, they really created a god, so, their conspiracy finally broke out, they gathered the strength of the whole country to defeat the god and get his power, but they still underestimated the god, that god first ascended to the throne, was successfully attacked by them, but at the last moment it burst out with a huge divine power, killing all the people of that country in an instant! That country was originally very powerful, but because of that incident, the country was destroyed!"
"You mean the ancient kingdom of Ira, the land known as the Godforsaken Lands?" Langdon had apparently heard the legend as well.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"So...... Is this the land of gods, or is it the land of God's forsakenness?"
