At that moment, Benjamin's hair almost stood on end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He focused his gaze to make the whole picture clearer. I saw that at the corner of the street, an ancient statue with a broken arm was now like being given life, and its plaster-like legs were stretched out and slowly moving in another direction.

Groove ......

Benjamin took a deep breath and didn't say anything.

What is this thing?

There was no doubt that what was in front of him was beyond his knowledge. Is it dead or alive, is it self-conscious, or is it controlled by some person?

Why does a good statue move on its own?

If there is another statue of a discus thrower in this city, will you see a person and smash a discus throw?

Benjamin felt like he had strayed into another world.

He didn't know what it was all about, but his instincts told him that these strange phenomena had nothing to do with the power of magic. From the moving statue, he didn't feel the movement of the elements, but there was a trace of spiritual power, but the form presented was completely different from the spiritual power in the general state.

From his own understanding, spiritual power is a kind of energy fluctuation, which generally spreads in waves. However, the spiritual power emanating from the statue gives people a lifeless feeling, taking on a grainy feeling.

Benjamin couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this is another creature?

As he pondered, the statue moved forward, and gradually, it came to the same street as Benjamin. Then, it turned around stiffly and slowly walked towards Benjamin, not knowing if it had discovered Benjamin's existence.

Looking at the unchanged expression on its face, Benjamin also felt quite penetrating.

Because of this, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, but still recited the spell of the ice crushing technique, condensed dozens of ice arrows, and launched an attack towards the sculpture.

- It's better not to let him get close to you for something so weird.

Rumble!

The sculpture doesn't dodge, but still walks forward stupidly. So, countless ice arrows hit it, knocking it into a sieve. With a thud, it fell to the ground, incapacitated.

"Dead?"

Benjamin was a little confused. He cautiously approached, and when he looked over, he saw that the sculpture had fallen apart under the attack just now, and it was shattered terribly. Judging by its broken cuts, its white skin was not plaster, but something more flexible.

As for the inside of its body, gears, pieces of iron, levers...... Parts made of various strange materials, presented in front of Benjamin's eyes, constitute the "internal organs" of such a sculpture.

...... Robot?

However, the internal structure of this sculpture is not delicate, on the contrary, it feels rough. Benjamin studied it for a while, and although he still couldn't understand the structure, he could roughly tell that this thing didn't seem to have any other function than to walk stiffly.

But...... What energies underpin its actions?

He searched for a while. Finally, from the skull of the sculpture, he found a crystal that emitted a green light.

The crystal is very similar to the stone I picked up before, and if I feel it carefully, the energy inside is the same, but it is more concentrated in the crystal. And before, the granular scattered divine power that Benjamin observed was also emanating from this green crystal.

There are some strange settings around the crystal, presumably a device that can extract energy from the crystal and make the sculpture move.

Still, Benjamin was unusually surprised.

What kind of city is this?

With this magical stone and strange abilities, it seems that a method to be able to use this energy has also been researched here, and a robot-like existence has been created with it.

Benjamin felt that he might have discovered a civilization that had never been recorded in history.

A very different being from a magical civilization.

After some thought, he continued on his way, slowly approaching the heart of the city. On the way, he also encountered a lot of moving sculptures, but he didn't care about those sculptures, and those sculptures didn't care about him, and they just passed each other in a hurry.

Observing the way, Benjamin also realized that these sculptures might be the only "residents" of the city. I don't know what's going on, there's not a single living thing in it. As for the bones or something, Benjamin also walked to the very center of the city and found them.

The center of the city is a place that resembles the ancient Greek council chamber. I don't know how many years have passed since the towering and magnificent building, and now only a dilapidated building remains.

And on the steps of this building, there are densely covered with all kinds of bones.

"It's scary...... the system couldn't help but pop up and sighed.

No wonder it let out such an exclamation, Benjamin gasped as he looked at everything in front of him.

Bones piled up all over the ground, piled up from head to end on a ten-meter-high step. Countless scattered skulls and sunken eye sockets are covered with yellow marks, which also show what kind of massacre took place here many years ago.

This is still a council chamber? It's a mountain of bones.

Releasing the Water Elemental Sensing Method, Benjamin discovers that there is nothing inside. So, he composed, flew, flew over the heads of the bones, and into the interior of the chamber.

As soon as he entered the council chamber, he saw a mural.

Although it looks like it has been very old, the mural has not completely corroded, so you can still see what is on it.

Benjamin was able to tell that the mural depicted two groups of people facing each other.

A group of people glowed green, were strong, and held a variety of weapons in their hands, looking very vicious. The other group wore cloaks that covered their faces, mysteriously, and strangely shaped flames fluttering above their heads.

Intuition told Benjamin that the cloaked men were mages.

That...... And what about the green men?

He didn't know either.

Combining this mural with everything in the city, Benjamin suddenly felt that the green men should have used the energy in the stone to make themselves stronger, and then fight against the mage.

Unleashing his imagination, he suddenly thought of an explanation for the mural in front of him.

Maybe...... Once upon a time, magic was not the only thing in the world. It's just that later, for some reason, the civilization represented by this green man died out, and it didn't even leave any trace in history. So, in the end, all that remains of ancient memories is Cain and Abel, magic and magic.

At least, judging from this painting, this green man is capable of competing with mages.

Thinking of this, Benjamin took a deep breath and continued to walk inside.

Anyway, on today's treasure hunt, he felt that he had indeed found something amazing. Stones with strange energy, prehistoric civilizations...... I don't know if he can find some relevant written records.

Unexpectedly, he really found it.

Inside this hall, he found some stone slabs. The slate also looked very old, and for some reason it had not been weathered, but on it, it was clearly and unusually engraved with various permutations of characters, as if it were some kind of writing that Benjamin had never seen before.

Benjamin picked up the slate and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he spotted a somewhat familiar symbol on it.

Equilateral triangle, but with a hole missing in one of the corners, it looks like a strange rune like a triangle.

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath as well.

...... Is it a coincidence?

Reason told him that the appearance of this triangular character was not complicated, and that it was normal for people to be used as words in prehistoric civilizations. However, his intuition told him that this triangle was the same thing as the triangle characters in his consciousness space.

What does it mean?

Suddenly, it seemed as if a voice sounded from the depths of his soul.

"Water. ”

Benjamin's heart shook.

At that moment, he thought of the awkward accent phrase that was repeated over and over again in the pure blue world, representing "water". For some reason, he suddenly became extremely sure, and every time, after entering the pure blue world, he tried to memorize the syllable, and it was written in this missing triangle.

And this character, the meaning it represents, is also "water".

Pure and quaint "water".

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but reach out and touch the triangular character on the slate.

At that moment, in a world full of green light, he suddenly felt an overwhelming blue light flash in front of him. Then, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had once again come to the pure blue world that he had not seen for a long time.
