Chapter 243: Exploring the Museum
When another day comes.
Alka: They packed up and prepared to head to the location of the ruins of the Lookout Hall Museum.
"Is the Golden Trout ready to go?" Shadetti stood on the deck, watching the sails of the huge ship outside the harbor fall.
The other man also turned his head to look.
The huge sailing ship had three extremely exaggerated masts, and there were auxiliary masts in the bow and stern.
As the sails were raised, the ship began to move slowly, then became faster and left the island.
The goods that had piled up on the port had also disappeared.
"Looks like I'm leaving." Arka looked at the small card in his hand and said.
This little card was given to him by Balazs, and it serves the same role as a business card. If they're heading to Southern Cross Island in the future, they can find their location on the island at this address.
"Okay guys, it's time to get down to business."
Arka said, looking at the crowd's clothes.
With the experience of the previous two times, this time Arka had already told them that this time he would also dig a pit and dig up the ruins that had been buried deep underground.
Therefore, everyone's outfits are relatively well-fitting leather clothes, which are dirt-resistant and cheap at the same time.
I won't feel sorry for any dirty or broken one.
After all, digging will make a mess of mud, and several girls even wear hats to protect their hair, so that their hair will not be stained with the dirt and it will be difficult to clean up.
In this way, everyone skipped the town and headed towards their goal.
There was a map to guide the way, and there were no dangerous situations.
They came to the area around the ruins very smoothly, but did not approach them rashly.
Because around the ruins was the territory of several small demonic beasts, which they had seen before.
Looking at the two ferocious cow-like beasts, Arka looked at Julia.
For this kind of active killing that doesn't make much sense, as companions, they usually still consider Julia's feelings.
After all, these two demonic beasts, which resembled cows, didn't mean to attack them, they were just driving them away.
"I'm going to drive them away." Julia said and walked over.
Her legs turned into fishtails with the current, and the spiraling current wrapped around her fishtail, holding him up and leading her way to the two ends.
A soft humming came.
The two monsters staring at her were red, their eyes red, but as the song came, they still did not attack, but moved their hooves restlessly in place.
"It's okay, it's okay." Julia carefully stretched out her hands and stroked the heads of the two monsters under their nervous expressions.
After all, these two monsters are not creatures in the ocean, and they still need a certain communication process.
You must first gain their favor and let down their vigilance, just like taming a beast.
If it's a monster in the ocean, Julia needs to communicate more easily.
She can even easily make the creatures of the ocean understand what she means.
I saw Julia touch it simply, and the two bison-like magical beasts calmed down.
The reddish eyes gradually recovered, and the mood became stable.
Then Julia turned her head and nodded at Juanlu.
Juan Lu immediately took out two huge tree roots the thickness of an arm from his pocket ring and threw them over.
This is something that Juillia asked Juan Lu to help prepare.
After feeding these two huge tree roots to the two demonic beasts, they became even quieter, and came directly to the side with the two tree roots in their mouths, silently gnawing and completely ignoring the existence of everyone.
It turned out to be vegetarian, which matched this appearance quite well.
"Alright, you can come in, they won't attack you again."
The crowd nodded and walked over.
The bold two even ran up to them and crouched beside the buffalo to watch it.
Seeing that these two bison-like demonic beasts had no intention of attacking, they even climbed their horns.
Fortunately, these two monsters seemed to have better tempers after having food, and they didn't pay any attention to the two who climbed on them.
Xia Daiti, who was originally a little worried, couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed.
Look at this scene.
Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder and suddenly said, "It's good that I wasn't naughty when I was young. ”
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare imagine what her army of puppets would be like.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti was inexplicably embarrassed, stretched out his index finger and picked his cheek, and hurriedly said, "I'll probe it first and divide the area." ”
So he went to work.
The rest of the people also began to divide and work together.
"This ruin ......"
"What's wrong?" Hearing Xia Daiti's slightly surprised voice, Arka asked beside him.
"This ruins cover a large area, and a large part of them are still well preserved, wait, don't do it yet, I'll take a closer look."
Xia Daiti said and asked the few people who were about to start to stop first, and then probed more carefully, and even the halo of light on her forehead appeared, which was used to strengthen the detection accuracy of her silver light.
In this way, several people watched Xia Daiti probe farther and farther, and almost explored the entire area of nearly 1 kilometer.
"Huh, is it that big?" Jason was shocked.
Although the previous two temples were buried deep and built high, the area of the house was only three or four hundred meters at most.
And the main excavation area is still about 100 meters close to the ruins, and the rest of the excavation is just a simple digging to reduce some pressure and avoid collapse.
Looking at Xia Daiti's detection, the area of this place is a bit exaggerated.
How long will it take to dig this down?
Jason already had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Shadetti began to divide the signs throughout the region.
Although most of the signs were drawn in a range of four or five hundred meters, they were large enough, after all, they had to dig down.
With the division of the logo, everyone's expressions became more and more uncomfortable.
They also thought of such a large project, which obviously could not be completed in a day or two.
What a tired thing this must be, and the not-so-rosy future seems to have appeared in front of their eyes.
It wasn't until the painting was completely completed that Xia Daidi wiped the sweat on his head and turned his head to look at everyone.
Look at the expressions of the crowd.
She couldn't help but smile: "Haha, don't be so sad, it's not as serious as you think." ”
"The area below is relatively well preserved, and you don't really need to dig very deep, and you only need to dig 10 meters at the deepest point.
Dig a little in the rest of the place to make sure you don't let the bottom collapse.
And I found the gap to the good area, I just need to get through there. ”
The main thing is to reduce some weight and re-fix some places so that their journey down is safer, and to better preserve the entire ruins.
After all, their re-excavation is likely to cause even more landslides and destroy more ruins, and the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, this relic is the best preserved relic they have encountered in the past few days, and there will definitely be enough harvest.
After listening to Xia Daiti's explanation, everyone's expressions finally recovered, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If this is such a large area, digging like before, it will not be possible to dig at all in four or five days.
"Okay, now that we've got it done, let's dig it."
The crowd began to dig up, and in a short time Simon released his four intact Sentinel Patrol Planes, and let them spiral around to keep watch in case any wild beast could disturb them.
Due to the large area of excavation, various soil piles became a problem.
"Niu Niu, pull it up!" Several puppet girls rode two monster cows and began to pull dirt and pour it farther away with the two ox carts that Simon had just made.
They are also helping people in their own way.
"Jason, go away, why did you get your eggs out again." Poloro felt a tingling pain in his body, and couldn't help but say to Jason next to him.
Hearing this, Jason just shrugged helplessly: "I can't help it, it has to follow me today." ”
As he spoke, he touched the egg in his hat through the hood.
Although the egg is no longer as tightly attached to Jason as it used to be, it is at least 2/3 of the day to be attached to him.
The excavation a few days ago made it less time-posting, and it seemed that this section was unwilling to share too far from him.
It took about 10 hours to dig through the deepest part of the road.
Other areas were also reinforced.
"Down from here, it's the buried but not completely destroyed place below." Xia Daiti said and jumped down directly.
Arka looked up and said, "Lucilia and Julia go down with you." ”
As he spoke, the three of them jumped down as well, while the rest stood guard outside.
Obviously, it is not possible to go in all of them.
As soon as he fell, he saw one ball of light after another being controlled by Xia Daiti to illuminate the area.
They appear to be next to a passage, but the passages on either side have all sorts of dirt and debris collapsing, causing the passage to become somewhat narrow.
"Go here, and the back of this passage should be the gate to enter." Shadetti pointed ahead of them.
Behind it, you can see what looks like a gate, but it's also twisted and deformed, and it's long since become embedded with the surrounding earth.
As the ball of light illuminated, the crowd walked inside.
As you go further inside, there are fewer and fewer collapsed ruins around you, and the inside becomes more complete.
Then I saw two complete statues.
Standing in front of the statue, the crowd looked up.
This statue resembles a humanoid statue, about 2.4 meters tall, and its body is slightly slender, but it does not make people feel thin.
Although the carving has become a little cracked with the passage of time, you can at least see how fine it once was.
The body is very finely carved, including the texture of the skin and even the facial expressions.
It's kind of like it's carved against a real person.
The pair of statues can be seen as a man and a woman.
Although they are humanoid, they can be seen to have two pairs of ears, one of which is large and the tips of the ears are somewhat sharp. There is also a pair of smaller ears, which are equally pointed.
And their smiles showed their teeth, which were very sharp, like neat shark teeth.
However, like humans, there are only two rows.
The ratio of the two arms is also longer than that of a normal person, the same five fingers, and even the fingers are more slender and slender.
In general, although it is different from humans, it is still more on the human side, but there are some slight differences.
Statue of a woman, with an unknown ornament, holding a book in one hand and something like a quill in the other.
The male statue wears a warrior-like helmet, wears light armor, carries three throwing spears on his back, holds a long sword in one hand, and an axe in the other.
"Is this the Vastwa?" Xia Daiti looked at the appearance of the statue and asked.
The humanoid statue is clearly placed here, and it is the racial appearance of this place.
After all, this is the place to showcase the culture of their city-state.
Lucilia nodded, looking at the words on the pedestals below the two statues, brushing away the dust from them.
"The female is called the First Arcane Eye, and the male is called the First Hand of Battle."
"I know the Eye of the Mystic, what is the Hand of Battle?" Julia asked curiously.
They hadn't heard the term before, except for Arka.
Hearing this, Lucilia heard Arka say, "You can consider it as a martial position equal to the Arcane Eye." ”
A few people will understand this way.
"Let's go in and have a look."
As he spoke, Xia Daiti controlled the ball and floated inside, and several people followed in.
As soon as they entered, they found that it was a huge hall, unusually empty, and the sound of their voices could reverberate.
But you can also see that a small part of the hall has collapsed, and there are different signs of collapse around it.
As the light was fully illuminated, Arka looked up.
Above is a huge semi-dome, which must be very beautiful if it is still alive.
The second floor can be seen below the dome, and there is a passage around the two sides, but the second floor has almost completely collapsed, and even the staircase leading to the second floor has completely broken.
And in the center of the whole hall, there is also a statue.
The appearance of this statue is very peculiar, it is not humanoid.
Rather, it is a statue of four spheres of different styles connected together, each of which is located at a different height and orientation.
Underneath the sphere is an island.
Lucilia ran straight over, carefully cleaning the stone slab in front of the statue.
Several people also walked over.
Lucilia looked at the slate and translated, "This statue represents the god of the quarters and Vasteva. ”
Hearing this, the crowd looked at the orb statue, which meant that in the eyes of the Vastwa, the god of the quarters was four connected balls.
Each of the four spheres is different, each with a unique appearance, but it also makes people feel that the sphere is one, fully showing the means of the person who carved it.
"But this island is obviously wrong." Shadetti turned her attention to the statue of the island below.
Several people also looked down.
The entire island was in the shape of a droplet, except that the head of the droplet was sharper and more elongated, but it was not the same as the long strip they were aware of.
The crowd looked at the island statue carefully.
The statue is carved in great detail, completely carving out some of the island's most important landmarks.
Since the island is drop-shaped, you can draw a circle on the island, and there are 4 identical temples in all 4 directions of the circle.
All four temples are the highest in height.
These should be the four great temples that the golden light said.
And on the tail of the water droplet, there is a low temple that is not high but occupies a large area, which seems to be very important.
I saw Xia Daiti gesture with his hand on the statue and said, "You see, if you cut it from here, will it be like the shape of the island where we are now?" ”
The place where her hand was drawn was a deep depression at the tail towards the droplets.
It was this deep recess that cut out one of the large temples, and the low temple at the tail of the tail was also included.
Seeing this, he reached over to cover the tip of the tail at the tip of the map.
"Isn't this like the place where we logged in, which is the semicircle that Shiraishi said was blown up?"
Everyone looked at it and nodded involuntarily, which looked very similar to it.
No, it's even exactly the same.
"In other words, this island is actually a part of the Broken Island, so when you think about it, it seems reasonable for this island to be called a broken island." Julia concluded.
The statue island has largely confirmed where they were, and was only a part of the original city-state.
Take a look at the rest of the surroundings.
The crowd turned their attention to the rest of the hall.
There are also various statues around the hall, and these statues have taken on the same human form as the statue at the entrance.
It's just that the dress and appearance have different changes, even the height is different.
However, several statues have collapsed and been destroyed.
And Arka also saw several objects with white light edging in it.
A simple look reveals a variety of precious metals, diamonds, and gemstones made of jewelry and ornaments.
However, none of the others, except Lucilia, could read the words, so they simply looked at the appearance.
Wait for Lucilia to finish the introduction of the text carved above, and then translate it for them.
Although the area is not small, most of it is open space, and only the edge of the space is where statues and some objects are placed.
Not to mention that many of the items have been turned into scrap, and the stone slabs that introduced them have long been blurry and unrecognizable.
A few people could only listen to Lucilia from time to time, and exclaimed again and again.
She seemed very surprised by some of her findings.
This exclamation also made the people waiting next to him itch, after all, who is not curious about such an ancient secret.
But it didn't make them wait long, and Lucilia read all the information she could get here.
I ran over with a look of surprise.
"You know what? I saw amazing information. ”
