129. Submarine pyramids
The yacht docked near a deserted stretch of coast. The west coast of Peregrine Falcon Island is much more deserted than that of Butcher Bird Island. Peregrine Falcon Island is the most Buddhist of the islands and has the least number of tourists.
The witches have a lazy attitude towards life, and the shops are also open according to their mood, sometimes they are not open during the day, and they choose to open the store in the middle of the night, and there is no rule to follow. If you have customers, you will make money, and it doesn't matter if you don't have guests.
Riji likes their style very much, because the life of the witches in Tokyo is too fast-paced and the involution is too serious.
Miss Eudora stands by the sea and lights a cigarette with fire magic. She seems to have a serious addiction to tobacco and alcohol, and likes to numb herself with these two items.
"My paternal mother, the witch elders in the family, and the blood relatives all laughed at me for being crazy, I must have lived too comfortably, or I used too many hallucinogens, and I was delusional about having a relationship with the witch of the deep sea. The Witch of the Deep Sea has long been extinct at the end of Kamakura, and it is impossible to find it no matter how much you look for it. ”
The rich second-generation witch, who always has a sequible face, has a melancholy face and flicks the soot with the fire into the sand.
"No matter what they say, I stick to my idea, and I have to go to the bottom of the sea to find out."
The witch changed her previous laziness, and her voice echoed on the empty sea, sonorous and powerful.
Riki originally wanted to complain about whether it would be deep-sea syndrome. When the witch's magic value is low, she encounters danger, and her mood is extremely nervous and fearful, and when these elements are satisfied, various adverse reactions will occur on her body, and auditory and visual hallucinations are common symptoms.
The person thinks that something has happened, but in fact nothing has happened, everything is a fantasy generated by the body based on the environment at the time.
Damaging the enthusiasm of employers should be forbidden, and snowy owls will not allow their feathers to offend their esteemed employers. Ruiji swallowed the complaint, choosing to be obedient and believe.
"May we find the secret hidden at the bottom of the sea."
Looking at the rippling waters, the figure of the mysterious witch lingered in Ruiji's mind. She also has a goal to seek, and the attraction of the ocean floor to her is to her what the dream of the hordes is to the bushi, although there may not be a sea heir in this world.
When the cigarette burned to the end, Miss Eudora extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash, putting on the diving goggles. Riji also followed the steps of the correct fitting, putting on her fins and stepping into the shallows.
The warm water envelops the calves, but not a drop penetrates, and the skin under the wetsuit is always dry.
At the last second, the Employer Lady was already embracing the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and leaving the coastline behind. Rydge followed her steps and used her diving magic, allowing her warm magic to envelop her body, and in a standard diving position, she leaned backwards.
Only a "plop" was heard, and the witch's figure was submerged in the sea, leaving only a large layer of layers of ripples and a string of bubbles on the surface of the sea. The witch who drove the yacht waited on the shore, drinking wine and listening to music on the deck.
Rij's first time was contracted again, and this time it was the first dive in the Witch World Line.
There is a clear difference between the real ocean and the one in the simulation room, it is wider and more magnificent. Miss Eudora chose to dive at night because the darker the light, the more beautiful the view from the bottom of the sea.
During the day, there are no glowing coral reefs and other seafloor plants, and no schools of fish cruising around.
The time when she and the sea witch bonding is also at night. Miss Eudora says that the night is the guarantee of the safety of the witches of the depths, and they fear and hate the witches who land on land, not wanting to be discovered.
The Deep Sea Witch later took the initiative to become independent and established herself as a new race, and later the Witch World re-standardized the boundaries between different branches and changed the branches into races, so the Sky Witch, the Forest Witch, the Underground Witch, the Mountain Witch, the Land Witch, the Ice Witch and the Deep Sea Witch were derived.
There may be other classes of witches on Earth that are yet to be discovered. Ruiji is one of the most populous land witches, and is divided according to the living environment.
The smart bracelet screen stays solid in the seawater, and the diving depth gradually increases. From the beginning of 0 meters, the number keeps jumping and increasing, going from two digits to three digits.
I have practiced beforehand, and I am very handy in practice. Swimming in the deep blue world has an indescribable comfort in the land and sky. As the depth of the dive increases, the visibility on the seabed becomes lower and lower.
Glowing coral reefs grow in warm shallows and disappear at a certain depth. If you lose the main light source, you have to turn on the illumination system on the eyepiece immediately.
Miss Eudora signals Rydki to turn on the lights, and two rays of light shine deeper into the ocean floor.
The last time Ruiji discovered the location of the huge building under the sea at a depth of 400 meters, she was forced to end the simulation training and return to reality before she could see the full picture of the building.
With the experience of last time, this time I don't have to waste my magic all the way around the seemingly endless wall, and swim directly to the underwater ruins in the wall.
The two had a brief exchange through the bracelet, and the unclear parts were connected to the consciousness with magic power, and they were expressed in the shortest possible time.
The dive went smoothly and Ruiji saw huge schools of fish and strangely shaped rocks on the bottom of the sea, aquatic plants growing in the crevices of the rocks, some plankton, small and medium-sized fish.
The closer you get to the centre of the Bermuda Triangle, the more turbulent the currents become. Plankton and fish are gone, and the plants that grow on the continental slopes are swaying from side to side by sea water and vortices, partially uprooted by strange forces.
The shaking of the sea also affected the two witches who were diving, slowing down the exploration progress slightly. Ruiji didn't choose the option of sea fluctuations in the simulation exercise, and was shaken to the point that she was a little dizzy.
The eyepiece's light also shook, and the two beams kept shaking.
Miss Eudora motioned for Ritch to follow her around the turbulent waters, and it took several minutes to escape the anomalous waters. Although the route deviated a little, it did not affect the next dive.
They began to consciously avoid the anomalous waters nearby, passing through areas with gentle currents, with the goal of saving mana. The amount of recovery potions and deep-diving potions is limited, and Miss Eudora has prepared some of them herself, and the potions of the two of them together can last about 36 hours at the bottom of the sea.
The depth of the dive is getting closer and closer to 400 meters, and the silhouette of the stone complex slowly comes into view. At first, only a vague gray-white outline could be seen, but the closer you go, the clearer the shape of the complex becomes.
It is a large pyramid with a regular shape, sloping on the outside, and extending all the way to the sea.
The largest pyramid in Egypt today is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is 146.59 meters high, and the large pyramid at the bottom of Bermuda even surpasses the Pyramid of Khufu.
Miss Eudora uses her observation magic to make a brief measurement, sending the data to the nearby Ruiji through the bracelet.
[The length is 300 meters on each side, the height is 200 meters, and the distance between the spire and the water surface is 100 meters. 】
Riji pointed the beam of light at the pyramid to see it in its entirety. A witch is very small in front of the pyramid under the sea, like a speck of dust.
With the current level of technology in the Witch World Line, it is still a little difficult to build a pyramid of such a grand scale on the bottom of the sea.
Transporting thousands of huge blocks of stone from land to the bottom of the sea was an unprecedented undertaking that required the combined force and pressure of the turbulent currents and pressure, layering the stones into the shape of a pyramid to ensure they fit perfectly.
The witch who studied civil engineering has not yet been able to overcome the problem of building a passage and building at the bottom of the sea, and it is said that a long, long time ago, the year is unknown, the witch at that time succeeded in building a connection between the land and the sea.
This technology disappeared with the Zero Witch, and the technology of the Witch World was once more advanced than it is now, and most of it withered in a melee, although the current technology is also very advanced, but it has never been able to return to that distant era.
There are a few books on the shelves at home about the history of technology and magic in the ancient witch world, and they can't describe the pomp and circumstance of the past in a few words, and Ruiji can't imagine that picture.
[Do you want to go down and have a look now?] 】
She pointed the light of her diving flashlight at the streets and bazaar-like areas near the megalithic pyramids, which were very well preserved, except for a few columns that had been damaged by the erosion of the currents for a long time, some of which inevitably collapsed elsewhere, and the rest of which stood still on the submarine plain.
Later, Rij's discovery of an undersea suspension island near the pyramid was discovered.
Submarine levitation islands are the equivalent of submarine islands, and they are stably suspended above the underwater complex, dispersing the pressure of the underwater witches' habitation. It's a pity that the buildings on the island have been completely dilapidated, and all of them have become ruins with only ruins left, and there is no half of the witch in sight, and they have been abandoned for more than 500 years.
[Let's go, let's go together.] 】
Miss Eudora was interested in exploring the ruins, and her strokes became more light. It is easy to spot people in the ruins under the sea, and she firmly believes that there are witches in the depths of the ruins.
While the other buildings are in dilapidation, there is a temple on one of the larger submarine suspension islands, the floor of the temple is cleaned, the altar is free of moss and sea, and the vessels used to hold the tributes have been moved.
By all indications, the Witch of the Deep Sea she had encountered was still nearby.
On the night of the special bond, the last place she saw was the temple of the suspended island under the sea, surrounded by circular stone pillars dozens of meters high. The square tiles on the ground were cold, but the witch's palms were warm, and their fingers were interlocked, never separated.
Reij also believed that witches had been active in the temple, and she found a few missing colored seashells in the corner. There are small pinches of fine silvery sand in the shells, and only the sands of the Canary Islands can be seen.
The underwater complex near the pyramid is distributed in concentric circles, arranged neatly, with a high tower in the center of the concentric circle, and a circular square under the tower, next to which stands a large statue of a witch with a height of more than 100 meters.
The witch statues are just right to connect the city in a semicircular arc, and they guard the tower in the middle, and the weapons in their hands are pointed to the sea.
[The more you look at these statues, the more surprising they become.] 】
Rydge typed words on the bracelet screen and snapped a series of close-ups with a camera clipped to a wetsuit.
[Awesome, right?] I also love this group of statues. The Witch, an archaeologist who has been here before, told me that this row of witch statues has been around for more than 3,000 years, possibly even longer. The world of witches in BC is even more magical, with giant statues made by witch craftsmen who work miracles with only their hands and a little magic. 】
Miss Eudora's expression grows more excited, and she asks Rydji to take a group photo of her and the witch statues. Next up is the turn of the Rigi and the underwater statues
She swam to one of the armored witch statues, carefully picked the final camera position, and thought about the best head. Last time I was in the simulation training, I was slapped in the face by the witch statue, and this time I have to go back.
The Armored Witch is suspected to be an undersea samurai, although she is a woman, the armor envelops the body impermeable, and each piece of armor is carved with specific lines and patterns.
Enough is enough for the skill of carving.
Riki carefully stands on the edge of the samurai witch's helmet and makes a "V" gesture to the camera. Miss Eudora took a few pictures of her, and her expression gradually became solemn, and she began to dance with her hands, and spit out a string of bubbles from her mouth.
[What's wrong?] 】
Miss Eudora pointed her flashlight behind Rydge and swam at full speed towards her location.
"Whew-"
There was an eerie roar in my ears, a dull grinding sound of heavy objects, and a strong tremor beneath my feet. The witch statue shook, and the giant hand that had been static moved for some reason, pressing straight down on her head, where Ruiji was.
The statue's hand is almost 10 meters long, and when raised, it casts a large shade of gray.
There is a sense of oppression in the giant itself, and the moving giant is even more oppressive when it is stationary. The statue of Christ Witch in Rio de Janeiro is bowed down to because it is only 38 meters tall.
"Hmm......"
Rather, Rydge choked on a mouthful of seawater. The salty, fishy smell swirls in the mouth, and the throat and organs tingle. She desperately swam towards the position where the witch statue could not reach, and she had an unprecedented desire to survive.
This is the bottom of the sea, and the situation is much more dangerous than the strange world of the Moon Station.
Being tense can easily lead to stiffness and inability to stretch, affecting swimming speed. Rydge pulls her staff from her belt and uses a level 3 defensive spell to save her life.
The witch statue's fingers just grazed the barrier, and the barrier was cracked and instantly disintegrated.
Is this another strange story?
Strange tales about the Atlantic coast and the Bermuda Triangle flashed through her mind, and not far from the statue's base, she saw the wreckage of ships, planes, and airships.
With all the vehicles that have been wrecked in Bermuda before, there may be a possibility that the statues on the bottom of the sea have life. They will stick their oversized hands and weapons out of the sea and attack the hapless witches who pass by.
There are several reports speculating that there are giant witches in ancient myths and legends under the sea of Bermuda, and various wrecks are inseparable from them.
Before the witch statue moved, Ritch was unconvinced, believing that the content of the report was chasing after the wind. Now she was completely convinced, and had to flee in a hurry under the attack of the witch statues.
All the witch statues are alive.
Thank you to the two big bosses of the book friend Qin Feng Great Demon King and the book friend Homecoming Bird, thank you for your support and recognition of me, this is undoubtedly the greatest comfort in the depressed stage. I knew that writing a heroine's essay was not favorable, but I decided to stick with it and wanted to continue writing no matter what.
