Chapter 30: A World Where the Sunshine Is No Longer

In Catherway's narration, Rowe finally knows the story of a young girl named Mina, who tends to be pacifist.

But the story is not rosy at all, because poor Mina first suffers betrayal from her boyfriend Boshkek, and then her family is ruined, not to mention that even she herself becomes a heartless zombie.

However, for Rowe, the above bleak story is not the point, the point is that Rowe noticed that the Boshkek who betrayed Mina seemed to have fled into the underground palace.

And the previous group of skeleton monitor lizard knights who killed the two-headed Black Hawk mercenary group and killed corpses all over the field also have a history.

In Catherway's narration, the mine guards led by Mina's father, Eisenro, are also riding monitor lizards.

Even this giant spirit sunstone mine named Sumerham is definitely not a suitable place for war horses to gallop, and riding monitor lizards has become a natural thing.

Another point worth noting is that in Catherway's story, the Sumerham Mine was a sunny place when Mina was still alive, and the sun could even shine on the bottom of the pit.

But now...... The world beyond the festering crypt is still illuminated by the sun, but inside the crypt is dimly lit and must be lit with torches in order to see the way forward and not fall to the bottom of the pit.

"Catherway, how deep is this pit in the fragment of Mina's memory you saw?"

Rowe wrote on a notepad.

"It's very deep, and if it were erected, it wouldn't be shorter than the highest mountain we've climbed together. ”

Catherway replied.

Won't it be shorter than the tallest mountain we climbed together?

Rowe recalled. During the fifteen days of escape from the Moorth of Sighs to the county of Earlland. He and Catherway climbed no less than ten peaks. And the tallest of them all...... It seems that it is only less than a kilometer?

Something is wrong, could it be that I made a mistake in my previous calculation of the free fall motion?

With this in mind, Rowe looked left and right for a small stone, and after picking it up, he casually threw it into the center of the cavern's incredibly large pit with minimal force.

Then, Luo Wei secretly pinched the seconds in his heart and calculated the time.

Click, click, click-

Ten seconds later. Rowe heard a series of sounds of stones he threw hitting the stone wall, but he never heard the expected pop of stones falling into the water.

In other words, instead of falling into the water, the stone fell into the wall of the road, and then bounced somewhere in the downward spiral tunnel?

Having come to this conclusion, Luo Wei could only pick up a few stones again, and then threw one stone into the water without a single one.

After four stones smashed against the stone wall in succession, one stone finally lived up to its mission, making the long-awaited pop like water sound that Luo Wei had been waiting for.

Compared to the sound of the earliest zombie entering the water. The sound of small stones falling into the water is enough to be described as faint, and it is still festering the environment of the crypt. So that the transmission of sound waves will not be due to various interferences and blockages, and cannot be transmitted to Rovi's ears.

And now that he finally heard the sound of stones falling into the water, Luo Wei could finally start calculating according to the formula.

In order to prevent errors in the calculation, Luo Wei chose pen arithmetic instead of mental arithmetic, of course, for the simple purpose of saving paper, he had to use amber as a pen and the ground as the paper to calculate the simplicity.

After a while of ho-ho and calculating, Luo Wei had the first gain, that is-it would be nice to have a calculator for Taichung students! Or no calculator, or have an abacus to help with the calculation!

It's a pity that the fact is that Luo Wei has neither a calculator nor an abacus, so he can only hold the amber and work the ground to calculate, in order to reduce the amount of calculations, Luo Wei used a lot of rounding, and finally came up with the final result.

The festering crypt once known as Sumerham should have a vertical depth of about 3,200 to 3,700 meters.

This number jΓΉ is completely incompatible with the number of pit depths provided by Catherway from the memory of the poor girl Mina.

So after pondering for a moment, Rowe wrote on his notepad: "In Mina's memory, the underground ruins of the ancient palace-like are sure to be located at the bottom of the mine?"

"Sure. Catherway replied, though she was quick to add, "At the very bottom, the miners dug into the brass brick walls of the ancient palace, and they thought they were all gold and rushed to it, and no one except Mina, who loved to read, noticed that the brass brick walls were inscribed with a warning against destruction." Mina wants to stop everyone, but when everyone is crazy about gold, who can listen to Mina's persuasion......"

In Catherway's story, Rowe learned more detailed information - the miners knocked down the brass brick wall, allowing the ruins of the ancient palace that had been sealed behind the wall to come out, and then the evil spirits that were originally sealed in the ruins of the ancient palace appeared, and the evil spirits turned more than half of the miners into living corpses under their control in full view......

This memory is gone here, because Catherway only got some fragments of Mina's memory.

The next memory of Mina is that his boyfriend Boshkek fled into the ruins of an underground palace occupied by evil spirits, and in Catherway's narration, Mina seems to be trying her best to keep it, trying to convince her boyfriend that there is still a way, but unfortunately Boshkek replied without looking back.

"Is there any difference between this memory fragment, the pit or other people and the previous memory fragment?"

Rowe wrote on paper.

Before, Luo Wei was just listening to Mina's story with the idea of listening to the story, but now it is naturally completely different from before, and what Luo Wei wants to figure out is the background change behind the story.

"Hmm......" Catherway looked sideways for a moment before replying, "There is a difference, in the second memory fragment." Mina's father, Eisenro, has aged a lot. The bottom of the cave is no longer dry ground but a puddle of water. ”

After thinking about it again. Catherway continued, adding, "Oh yes, there seem to be some huge zombies digging in the water at the bottom of the mine......"

Luo Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

It's hard to say anything else, but Mina's father, Eisenro, looks much older in the two memory fragments, most likely means that years or even more than ten years have passed, right?

From the Void Ring, Luo Wei rummaged through the Dawn of the Corrupted. Then he flipped to the part of the festering crypt of Sumenassas with a little effort.

However, after careful reading, Rowe did not find any of the area of the Sumenassas Ulcer Crypt, and there was ever a record of a large Essence Sunstone Mine, and the text that Chico Chaco Lub investigated and wrote into the book shows that the area of the Sumenassas Ulcer Crypt has been a desolate depression with almost no vegetation since "all time".

Therefore, this place was occupied by robbers, and eventually the number of robbers exceeded 10,000.

Why is that?

Why is there such a big difference between the fragment of Mina's memories that Catherway obtained is so different from the record in "Dawn of the Corrupted"?

"Perhaps. Can you check the official historical materials?"

Catherway, who could see that Luo Wei was wondering something, tried to build a way.

Well?

That's right. Why don't you dig through the historical materials?!

Although "Dawn of the Corrupted" is very professional, it is only a personal travelogue of lovers of the Land of the Dead after all, so it is normal that you can't find useful information!

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of "I'm really a second goods".

Among the hundreds of books that Rowe bought at great expense were several books related to the region, supplemented by historiography and geography, and the authors were all exteriors with the title of polymath

In order to thank Catherway for this constructive suggestion, Luo Wei couldn't help but hug Catherway, and then kissed Catherway on the forehead with a deep kiss amid the exclamations of the other party.

Except in this way, Luo Wei really couldn't find any other way to reward him.

As a result, Catherway's exclamation quickly turned into a coquettish voice, approaching the current situation not only with Rowe and her, but also with the cunning of the dog-headed spearman Lambert Camacho.

And after Luo Wei finished the kiss, he let down the beauty and left Catherway, and went to check the historical materials with a roar.

After this investigation, Luo Wei really found something interesting, he found a few words about the Sumenassas region in a book called "Linguistic Change and Geographical Change".

"At the beginning of the Grey Calendar, in the best time when our Black Iron Humans still had the Body of Black Iron, the name of the Sumenassas region was Sumerham. The first inhabitants of Sumenass were the Semitic people, and although this people has long since been lost to the dust of history, their remnants, the Semu, have retained some of the Semitic language. In the Semitic language, Sumei means sunshine, and Ham means mine, so Sumerham is combined to mean sunshine mine. Around that time, the Sumenass region also produced some kind of sun-colored gemstone, which may be a topaz or a sunstone. However, it is clear that after the change of epochs, the gem mines in this area were also depleted, because in the same Semitic language, the meaning of Nasas was actually gone. Because the sun is gone, Sumeham becomes Sumenas......"

Rowe pointed out the account of the Sumenassas region that he had finally found, which he had almost blinded, to Catherway, who had a curious look.

"Huh? How can this be? It's been more than 2,000 years since the Gray Calendar......

Catherway was surprised and said that she really couldn't imagine that this pit was at least two thousand years old.

Rovi didn't think it was too strange, because for him, if this mine was a product of the early era of the Gray Lunar Calendar, and was developed by the early Black Iron Humans who still had this black iron body at that time, it would explain the scale of this mine, why it could be so large.

In this case, it may not be a good idea to rush into this large pit.

In the early black iron humans, there were a large number of supermen with black iron bodies, so who knows if there are undead powerhouses transformed by Semitic supermen with the strength of black iron bodies lurking in this black hole pit?

At least, Luo Wei didn't plan to take himself to make this dangerous attempt.

"Perhaps, we should go back to the ground first, I guess the magicians who were shot will definitely come back. ”

Luo Wei wrote such a line of text in his notebook.

Of course, before returning the way he came, Rowe felt that he had another important thing to do, and that was - to sacrifice to the Lord of Decay -
