Chapter 91: Let's Go and Talk
Gorman's fight is likely to last quite a long time.
According to Jin Qidong's original words, it is not strange that it is as short as two or three days, or as long as a week, and he needs to provide the former with survival energy and observe his physiological state at any time during this time, and he has no place or heart to entertain Lu Jing and others.
Realizing that forcibly staying in the hospital hall will not only not help, but may attract the attention of others around you because of the movement of people entering and exiting in and out.
Besides, the current Gorman is one of the few big celebrities who "eat it all in black and white" on the entire Anling Island, if someone is really found here, no one can save it, and Lu Jing and his party are all the same.
Therefore, after instructing them to contact them at any time if they needed help in any unexpected situation, Lu Jing and his party did not stay in the Kim Medical Center for too long, and just left a conch of sound transmission and returned to Cymbal Lan Street through the back door.
Lu Jing was not in a hurry to go to Glens's residence, it was noon soon, and the three of them were going to eat outside before going over, he didn't want to visit others when they were having lunch, and he would not be treated as a rubber.
The three of them walked down the street and talked.
The bright sunlight crossed the rooftops of the buildings on the right and fell on the street on their side, and with the already refreshing autumn breeze, even the chaotic thoughts caused by the passage of the will through the space through the potion were visibly soothed.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter from the bustling crowd, mixed with the soft sound of happiness floating from nowhere.
Liuli ran back and forth around the three of them on the side of the street, sometimes standing on the bench and the edge of the flower bed to smell the fragrance of flowers in the air, sometimes shuttling back and forth between Lu Jing's legs, jumping and rubbing his trouser legs, and waiting for the latter to bend down and hold it into his arms and "snorr~" twice and jump out again.
Xu Chu looked at the travel guide of Anling Island as usual, looked at the comments on the restaurants on it, and asked the tastes of the other two from time to time, Fu Ju beside him drove a picture book bought in a street shop in his left hand, held a pencil in his right hand, and quickly sketched some lines on the drawing paper,
"The street lamps in the Lost World are made of metal, and the top should be a glass lampshade, like a gas lamp, I didn't look closely, and those buildings are almost certainly not from the Shuoming Dynasty...... No, the distance between the buildings is a little more cramped, and there are towers, not the octagonal pagoda we have here, but the cylindrical ones. ”
Lu Jing looked at the images in the picture book, pursed his lips, and opened his mouth to correct, Fu Ju tore open the paper, drew another cylinder and added eaves tiles around it.
"Without these corners, it's just a simple cylinder, and then it's used to put things on top, and that thing looks like a fort ......."
"Isn't that a watchtower?"
There was probably a cannon drawn on the tower, Fu Ju suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his head sideways and asked,
"What kind of city would build such fortifications between the streets that should appear on the front line, are you mistaken?"
"God knows, it's a weird city...... In fact, I was more curious about why Gorman was able to go to it after communicating his own bloodline, whether it was a real city somewhere or just a product of ideas, which was more peculiar than the 'palace' I had encountered on Qingle Island before, and I also felt something extremely unusual in it. ”
With his hands in his pockets, Lu Jing recalled what he had seen and heard in the lost world before, shrugged his shoulders, his eyes swept over a tall beauty not far away, and continued to say,
"And the scarlet threads that connect those monsters, in which I can't even summon a stream of water, and what is their source of energy?"
"Maybe it's some secret realm or an ancient ruin?"
Turning the travel guide in his hand to a certain page and handing it to Lu Jing, Xu Chu expressed his opinion.
"This roast leg of lamb looks pretty good, that's it...... What about ancient ruins?"
Staring at the introduction of the color and fragrance on the page, Lu Jing swallowed his saliva and asked without looking back.
"The city we entered just now has obviously been abandoned for a long time, judging from the degree of damage to the building, it is by no means possible to achieve a span of ten or twenty years, plus there are some mysterious forces involved in the city, which is very consistent with the description of the ancient ruins in some books, and the ruins I am talking about here are not left by our era, but the remains of the previous era, that is, the ember era. ”
Xu Xi's words made Lu Jing quickly think of some classics about the history of the Boundless Sea that he had read some time ago in order to pass the time.
These books inevitably mention a noun in Lu Jing's words just now: the Ember Era!
Why is it called embers?
Because embers have no meaning to exist, but they can still transmit fire!
Legend has it that before a catastrophe that spread all over the world, the world was not an ocean, but the continent was the center of the world.
At that time, communication between human countries was not as difficult as it is now, and there were even large unified empires at one time, and the process of establishing empires was reduced to fragments in the long course of history, but there is no doubt that the human population has developed considerably.
Aside from everything else, it is now recognized that the level of human technology in the Ember Age reached a level that would seem like a miracle to people today.
The simplest example of this is the strange objects that circulate all over the infinite sea, with different functions but without exception, which are sought after by countless people.
The treasure hunting compass in Lu Jing's hand, the number code on the weather ball is the best proof, and the source of these things is the ancient ruins that have survived from the Ember Era to the present!
Whether it is the expeditions of governments around the world or the fleets of private organizations that have formed their own adventures at sea, there is almost always a consensus.
Ancient ruins are equal to treasures!
As long as you can find a place, you can basically start with eating and drinking for the rest of your life, and if you accidentally find something strange or a technology left over from the Ember Era, you can get benefits...... The biotechnology owned by the Bluestar Conch Group, which is now a giant in the communications industry, really think that they developed it themselves?
Of course, the premise of all this is to be able to keep this treasure.
Getting back to the point, Xu Xi's reminder made Lu Jing quickly realize that the ancient ruins might be the best explanation for all the details of the lost world they had seen.
Ancient architecture, advanced technology, only in ancient ruins can see such an absurd combination!
"If the blood in the body of a bestiar like Gorman comes from that ancient ruin...... Do you still remember what Jin Qidong said, what is hidden in that ancient ruin is a remnant of the god's clone, like this kind of ruin, the Holy Blood Sect on Anling Island is really qualified to master?"
As the problem deepened, the confusion in Lu Jing's mind became more and more, you must know that any ancient ruins represent huge benefits, and once discovered, the outcome will basically fall into the hands of the country where the ruins are located, not to mention this special ruins.
"And the guidebook clearly states that the Holy Blood Cult is the sect with the largest number of believers on Anrei Island...... To some extent, they already dominate the religious community on Anreh Island, and if they don't want to find a way to consolidate their prestige, why would they think of training so many hunters through methods that are almost cults, or on the premise of knowing that many of them only exist for a short time and will surely fall into madness after a while. ”
"No, I don't think the Holy Blood Sect has mastered that ruin, and if they can come and go at will, wouldn't Gorman go in and die alone?"
Perfecting the details of the lost world in the picture book, Fu asked without raising his head.
"Tsk, you have a point...... We know too little information at the moment, the only thing that is certain is that the Holy Blood Sect should have a lot to do with the governor of Anreong Island, and the status of Glens's Alchemist Association on Anreung Island is not low, and it also has daily dealings with the government, maybe we can learn about this sect through him later. ”
If you do other things, Lu Jing may not have the heart to investigate, but it happened that it involved the upgrade of the sea dependents, and it would be false to say that you don't want to make your core card go further, but this process is afraid that it is very difficult.
As for why Lu Jing was so convinced that the Holy Blood Sect was related to the Governor's Mansion of Anling Island.
The reason is simple.
Earlier, Jin Qidong burned the information in front of Gorman, naturally not because of a momentary itch.
Compared with Gorman, Jin Qidong obviously saw this matter more thoroughly.
If Gorman loses the confrontation with the remnants of the Lost World, then this information will not be of any use even if it is a hundred times more detailed, because in the many incidents that have occurred recently, the Governor's Mansion of Anling Island has been on the side of the Holy Blood Sect from beginning to end, and they don't care about a single piece of evidence from criminals.
On the other hand, if Gorman succeeds in solving the target, then the Holy Blood Sect's reliance on the establishment of the Cult will also collapse, and once they have nothing in their hands that can threaten those hunters, this information will not be used at that time.
Because the government doesn't want to do it, the resurrected hunters will let some people within the Holy Blood Sect understand what a real hell on earth is!
