Benjamin followed the guidance of the system and found a body buried in the ground.

"It's a little weird when you dig it out. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded, unfolded the water elemental realm, and commanded the summoned Ice Drill Ice Shovel to start digging. Soon, the body, which was buried about two meters underground, was dug up by him.

Miles also walked up confusedly.

"What did you find?"

Benjamin pointed to the pit he had dug with his magic and said, "A corpse buried under this ancient battlefield." ”

I saw a middle-aged male corpse lying quietly in the deep pit. The corpse's clothing was complete, a very primitive animal skin garment. But amazingly, it has a very low level of corruption, except for its pale complexion and shriveled skin, other features are even similar to those of a living person, and Benjamin also relies on these characteristics to arrive at the judgment of "middle-aged male corpse".

"This man...... How long has he been dead?" asked Miles, looking at the corpse and frowning.

"At least tens of thousands of years ago. Benjamin shook his head with an incredulous expression, "There is no sign of renovation in the nearby soil, this man must have been buried a long time ago." ”

This kind of corpse with a high degree of freshness is really reminiscent of undead creatures.

Miles, however, didn't seem to care at all. He pursed his lips, stepped forward, fished the body out of the pit, and immediately began a body search.

Moments later, he retrieved a parchment roll from the corpse.

"It's ......"

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, but Miles was not at all interested in the parchment roll, so he threw it casually and searched it. Seeing this, Benjamin just picked up the parchment roll and held it in his hand.

A corpse that has not decomposed for thousands of years, this person's identity is probably not simple.

He immediately unfolded it and looked at it.

There were strange hieroglyphs written on the parchment scroll, which Benjamin could not understand, but at the end of the scroll he found a figure that surprised him.

- a rune he had never seen before.

Benjamin now had some knowledge of runes, and could sense the subtleties between them and other words. What was recorded on this ancient parchment scroll was definitely a rune that had not yet been discovered.

Looking at this rune, Benjamin couldn't help but think of what Cain had said in the illusion.

After he drew the "affinity" rune, Cain recognized the rune and made fun of him for using the rune in a superficial way, which shows that the prehistoric mage actually studied the runes very deeply. And now, he found the contents of a corpse, which corroborated what Cain had said.

- The mage has always been good at using runes, but for some reason, this knowledge was lost.

Benjamin was holding the parchment roll and suddenly became a little excited, thinking that he might have the possibility of reviving this technology.

"Nothing. Miles shook his head suddenly, stood up, and interrupted Benjamin's joy, "It's just a nobody, the body has been preserved because of some kind of power. There must be something else buried in this battlefield......"

With that, he turned around again and began to search for the other corners of the basin.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.

How could the corpse be so well preserved, how could it be a passer-by? Besides, with a parchment scroll with runes recorded, this corpse should have been a mage of no low status before his death.

In his opinion, the so-called Valley of God's Forsaken is just a desolate ancient battlefield, full of gloomy and strange existences, and it is not a desirable treasure place.

It's better to leave as soon as possible, the church people are coming in, and who knows if they're going to touch this side?

There shouldn't be much else here.

However, Benjamin's thoughts were not maintained for a while before he was slapped in the face. Soon, the system spoke again, telling him that something had been found underground.

"There are a lot of these non-decomposing corpses, buried deeper underground, you try to dig them up. ”

Benjamin was momentarily speechless.

All right......

Dig it, dig it, although it surprised him, but if there were more corpses underground, maybe he could also find more rune-related research materials from it.

It was along the pit that had just been dug that Benjamin went on. The bodies were also strangely buried, and they all seemed to be concentrated in one location. And deep in that location, the system also said that he had detected an unfamiliar source of energy.

This came as a bit of a surprise to Benjamin.

Strange sources of energy...... Could it be that there is really some treasure hidden in this underground?

After digging for about half an hour, the pit under my feet got deeper and deeper. Bodies are constantly emerging from this pit, both men and women, but without exception, the level of decomposition is extremely low. Benjamin used water vapor to transport the bodies out and pile them aside, allowing Miles to slowly strip them of their clothes.

As for himself, he is concentrating on digging the "strange source of energy" in the mouth of the system.

Eventually, a waving ice shovel dug through a thin layer of soil, and there was a crisp sound of hitting a hard object. Benjamin also suddenly realized that they had dug it!

He carefully controlled the ice shovel, scraping away the dirt from the side, revealing the strange object buried within.

It was a strange broken sword.

I don't know how many years it has been buried, but the whole sword is only left with the hilt and the blade of less than a few centimeters, and the broken sword body is covered with dirt and rust, which looks very ordinary. Benjamin, however, immediately conjured up the Church version of the origin story, in which the first pope dug up the fragments of the holy sword from under the land of the brotherly rupture and offered it as a holy relic.

Could this be another part of that holy sword?

Benjamin was not disappointed by his ordinary appearance, because he could feel that there seemed to be a rather strange power hidden in it.

"Yes...... Mental power?"

After sensing it for a while, both he and the system came to such a conclusion.

This short sword contains an extremely large amount of spiritual power, and what is even more strange is that these spiritual powers are extremely chaotic, as if they are entangled with the spiritual powers of countless different people, and then twisted together in a strange way, and finally form such a state.

Strange energy fluctuations continued to emanate from the broken sword, like the energy after the spiritual power had been alienated, and the radiation spread towards the surroundings.

"So...... Is it because of the sword that the corpses have not decomposed?" said Benjamin, scratching his head.

"Probably. ”

"And how do you use this thing?"

Benjamin had a bit of a headache.

He had dug up such a broken sword from the ground, perhaps with deep roots, but he didn't know what it was for. This obviously can't be considered a magic item, but ...... Relic, artifact, Benjamin didn't know how to define it.

Just when Benjamin was holding the broken sword and kept wondering. Miles turned his head and saw the sword in his hand, and immediately showed a different expression.

"That's, that's it!"
