The moon shifted its angle, and the red light that hung around it dissipated as it was about to sink to the horizon, and the huge moon rings finally changed to a slightly normal silvery-white.

Under the cold moonlight, the huge waste capital seemed to be coated with a layer of hoarfrost, and it seemed even more barren in an instant. After experiencing the moonlight changing color several times, the two people from the other world are not used to its change this time, but they have a little helplessness about the desolate capital behind them.

"Well, it looks like we're finally here...... I dare say I've covered more miles than I've ever traveled on any long-distance mission in the past. ”

Leaning against a broken boulder railing, Curt glanced with some embarrassment at the path he had walked when he had come—the ash pile still had traces of his journey. Right beside him, the main road that runs through the ruined capital stretched straight ahead, as if it were about to reach the foot of the high wall that towered across the sky.

The distance from the edge of the city walls to the towers perched on the hillside was a long distance for the inhabitants of the city - and for Curt, who was about a quarter of their height, it was tantamount to a long march over the mountains. If a person can still complain a little when he is halfway through the journey, then after coming here, I am afraid that he will not even be in the mood to complain.

Looking down at the ruins behind them, they seemed to be built on a gentle hillside, with straight roads leading to the central black tower in several directions. At first glance, the slightly undulating ramp is nothing compared to the towers that reach into the sky, like a small mound of earth under the feet of giants.

With the tower as the center, the surrounding towers of the city wall form a regular circle. The finely divided areas depict a geometric pattern inside the circle. The gray stone towers that stand throughout the city are placed in the center of each geometric pattern.

"The city seems to have been built according to a rather complex Rubik's Cube, with each block deliberately built for a fixed purpose. I'd love to do that, but most of the area is weathered now. So there's no way to wield the original function. ”

Lizzie had jumped off Curt not long ago, and she was looking down the hill at the city, carefully observing the structure of the city beneath the ash pile. As she said, the structure of this huge city is like a kind of Rubik's Cube, but now the whole picture is no longer visible.

"If I'm not mistaken, this may be a circle based on a magic transformation structure. ”

After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "The streets are the pathways that allow magic to flow. The architectural pattern is composed of structures that resemble ancient scripts. If they were still able to drive, the point where all the magic would converge would be those gray stone towers. This qiē structure is placed for the central main tower, and the magic is concentrated in one point. Then construct another spell that requires a lot of mana to work. ”

As if to give Curt a better understanding, Lizzie extracted a bit of magic to sketch out a sketch of the city's structure on the gray rock mass. Pale magic flowed from Lizzie's fingertips, and the faint lines gradually depicted a huge circular Rubik's Cube.

Although the details of Lizzie's drawings are not clear, it can be seen that the entire city was built into a huge Rubik's cube by its designers. It's like a small part in a huge machine. All blocks are placed in the right place. If they weren't all dusted down now, I'm afraid that the buildings inside would have been organized into forms that resembled ancient scripts, and became the elements of the weaving spell structure.

"No, the decay I saw after coming here was all due to this weird giant Rubik's Cube. Lizzie muttered in a low voice, her expression looking a little subtle, "Although there is no way to decipher its specific effect, this Rubik's Cube gives me a very bad feeling." ”

Most of the city was buried in patches of dead ash, and the strictest areas were almost entirely covered in ash heaps. But only the tower, which was the core, was not stained with the slightest ash. The black towers and the surrounding squares made of solid rock have crumbled in large numbers, but no dust has been left behind.

What a strange sight. It was as clean as if it had just been cleaned—but there was no sign of living creatures around it. Obviously, there is no way that anyone will stay in this ruined capital to clean this place all day, the only possibility is that some kind of force is preventing it from being attacked by dust.

The wooden balustrade is completely crystallized, and the airy appearance may be more beautiful than in the past, and the towering steps are carved with detailed patterns, giving you a sense of the prosperity of the past. Meticulously carved, such an exquisite architectural structure, the two have only seen it in a few national exhibition halls.

Perhaps, as Curt has always argued, there are answers they want to know in this tower...... Lizzie turned her head to look at the black tower behind her, the pitch-black stone had a glass-like texture, and even the moonlight was twisted into a colorful brilliance inside the stone. The scattered colors looked like light and shadow unfolding in a kaleidoscope, and the figures of the two were also cut into countless chaotic inverted images.

Directly in the direction of the two men, a metallic gate was embedded in the tower's pitch-black stone. The unadorned gate is even several times higher than the main gate of the imperial capital, and the heavy texture makes people feel that the gate made of unknown materials even has the weight of a mountain.

"Let's go. ”

Looking down and thinking for a moment, Curt reached for the closed black door, and his magic hand reached for it, trying to open the gap between the two of them. However, with all his might, he seemed to touch the air, and he almost fell.

Buzz Buzz -

The seemingly heavy material seemed to have no weight, and the closed black door was only lightly touched by Curt and slowly retreated backwards without any hindrance. With a low grinding sound, the space locked behind the heavy door gradually revealed in front of the two of them.

Unfolding in front of you is a huge hall with dozens of stone monuments of different heights towering throughout the hall. The stone monuments that line up all over the place are carved from heavy stone, and a large number of articles have been written in unintelligible characters on the polished smooth surface.

The inscriptions depict something unlike any written text seen in the past, and these inscriptions are not so much some kind of "writing" as they are independent "pictures" after another. They depict fantastic structures in a particular form, like an array of ancient words in a Rubik's Cube.

The setting inside the tower looks like a microcosm of all parts of the city, especially the stone monuments, whose structure looks like when the stone towers were not broken. The solid white stone is also inlaid with a large number of crystals - but unfortunately the crystals embedded in it have long since broken and scattered into detritus.

Apart from these scenes, the tower seems to be at a different time from the outside world, and the warm daylight shines on the ground through the vents in the tower after noon. The falling spots of light reflect diamond-shaped arrays on the ground, and you can feel the warmth of the sun when you touch them.

"These 'stone tablets' are supposed to be the center of all the magical structures in the entire city, they absorb the magic of the surrounding area, and then move to the tower. ”

Lizzie glanced at the stone tablets around her, trying to analyze the words depicted on them, "These patterns must be the words used by the inhabitants of this world...... It's a weird thing, and it doesn't seem to make sense of what kind of grammar they're using. ”

It's not that Lizzie wants to throw in the towel, but the inscriptions use a different language than what she understands, and she can't even find a similar type of language to aid in interpretation. After looking at it for a while, she finally realized that her scent was in vain, so she had to turn her head to observe the other qiē.

In this warm space, which is very different from the outside world, the most striking thing is not the stone monuments that have lost their power from the beginning. In this huge hall, there are also several humanoid statues, which are different from the qiē species seen in the past, and these should be the masters of this world.

On either side of the main road, there stood several statues of giants, perhaps more massive than the giants who boasted of their size in the past. They were supposed to be the guards here, so they were holding the ground in one hand and a huge blade in the other.

However, there are some cases that can be quite strange and the proportions of the whole body seem to be extremely deformed. The giants' hands on the ground were unusually swollen, looking like a huge shield covering their bodies. On the other hand, the head on top of the huge body was only the size of a normal person—and it seems that the current heads of the two men belonged to the inhabitants of the area.

Behind the guards stood an even larger statue of a giant - taller than the guards combined, and what appeared to be a strange piece of armor that was extremely heavy. The muscles on his muscular body bulged out in lumps, as if boasting of his strength.

However, he had no head on his body...... Or rather, his head seemed to have been cut off by someone, and there was only an empty gap above his majestic body. Because it was so high, the two of them couldn't see what the gap looked like, and naturally they had no way of knowing what it looked like.

"Alas, Curt...... Don't you think there's something familiar about that statue?" Lizzie pointed in the direction of the giant statue, motioning for him to look at the pedestal below, "It's not the big stupid head, look at the part under his feet, it's the thing he's stepping on." ”

Indeed, there is something more noteworthy than the appearance of the giant—just under the giant's feet, boots shaped like sharp claws of a bird of prey are stepping on a mountain of debris. From a distance, they seem to be able to combine into a complete badge.

"I didn't really notice ...... if you didn't say it"

The moment he saw the fragment of the badge, Curt felt an indescribable sense of unhappiness—the badge had been seen too many times in recent times.

It was the emblem of the sun that the Church of Wigginas believed in. (To be continued!)
