Chapter 99: The Mystery of the Continent
Chapter 99: The Mystery of the Continent
Gaia was a little surprised, her eyes fell on Celine, Celine was sighing, and when she withdrew her gaze, she found that Gaia was looking at her with a little anxiety, her face was red, and she whispered: "What are you doing......"
"How did you know about this deity?" Gaia was sometimes really puzzled, and in one sentence he poured cold water on Celine, who was still a little fantastical.
"I would like to be a soothsayer, like Teacher Mera, who knows a little about the ancients, about the present, and even about the future, and I remember seeing about this deity in some of the more old-fashioned places of the palace very early on, but after the renovation of the imperial city, including the old books, disappeared. Selene said.
With that, Celine tugged at Gaia and continued, "Let's go into the air......
Gaia knew that Selene was going to point out something to herself, the statue of the god was more than fifty meters high, and even if she looked down, she could only see the bottom plate of the god.
The position within a radius of fifty meters of the statue of the giant god is forbidden ground, including the air, and Gaia and Seren are still more than two hundred meters away from the statue after they float, but this position can see the god more clearly.
"Seeing that there is nothing in his left hand, a diamond-shaped section, if you get closer, you will find that this section is actually our Eden Continent. Céline spoke.
Gaia also guessed about the section in the hand of this god when he saw the "Record of God", and after Celine determined that it was indeed the Eden Continent, since his left hand held the entire Eden Continent, then perhaps this god was also in charge of the Eden Continent.
"And what's on his right hand?" asked Gaia. The god's right hand is very large, and if the two of them fly closer, they can completely stand on it, but since the left hand is holding the entire section of the Eden continent, then the right hand should have something more important.
"I don't know this, judging from the statues of other gods, their right hands should all hold the same symbolic thing, but this god doesn't, his right hand is empty, but his left hand is holding the Eden Continent, and the Eden Continent section on his left hand is also very strange. Selene tugged at Lagaia's sleeve again, motioning for him to fly higher, trying to get a full view of the section.
The two of them flew a little higher, and flew to the transparent barrier of the idol, although they were still fifty meters away from the idol, they could already see the appearance of this section clearly.
After the investigation of some soothsayers, the continent of Eden is indeed a diamond-shaped land, beyond the continent is the vast sea area, the sea survivers some alien races other than humans, called the sea tribe, except for some specific coastal cities in each empire, most of the sea tribes will hardly deal with humans, and some islands in the sea are generally dragon islands inhabited by dragons.
The dragons living on Dragon Island are not as single as those dragons on the Eden Continent, they live together, the number of dragons on a dragon island may exceed a thousand, and the dragons on the sea are very disgusted with other creatures, as long as other creatures enter their area, they will attack it, so for thousands of years, although many emperors have sent ocean-going teams to explore the overseas world, but the dragons scattered in the sea have become an obstacle to expanding the world section.
"I always feel that this diamond-shaped section doesn't look like the continent of Eden. After a closer look, Celine suddenly asked another question.
Gaia and Fetzer now have three parchment scrolls, and together they are a map of the continent that describes the continent of Eden in great detail, showing not only some ruins, forbidden places, and clear coastlines, but also harbors and cities along the coastline.
Of course, because of the long history, there must be some differences between the cities marked on the parchment rolls and the actual ones, but some areas suitable for human habitation will generally have cities without much change, and at most the names have changed somewhat.
After comparing three-quarters of the parchment rolls, Gaia found that there were some discrepancies between the coastline of the parchment rolls and the coastline of that plate, for example, there was probably a huge delta on the eastern coastline of the Sacharian Empire, and it could be vaguely seen that there was indeed a delta on that section, but after Gaia compared the parchment rolls, he found that not only did not have a delta on the map of the parchment roll, but instead protruded out to form a similar peninsula.
After Selene's confirmation, the location of Zachariah is indeed a delta, that is to say, the Eden continent section on the statue is consistent with reality, but there is a difference in the parchment scroll, even if the parchment scroll has a long history, it is unlikely that there is such a big difference with the present, it is obviously a delta, but the parchment is a peninsula.
"Two magicians, please don't approach the idol at will. While the two were exploring, a knight on a snow-white griffin flew up and said to them.
To be able to stay in the air for such a long time, only the Magister and the Grand Magister can do it, and the griffin knight naturally did not dare to be polite, and said after saluting the two of them.
"Knight, do you know when this statue was built?" asked Selene.
"Oh, beautiful young lady, you are right, as the knight of the giant statue guard, I still know a little about the history of the idol. The griffin knight was happy to tell the two men the history of the giant idol.
However, when the Griffin Knight gave a general description of the history of the idol, Gaia and Fetzer were a little stunned. The two had always thought that the statue must have been carved after the city of Frye was built in order to bless the city by some god, but the griffon knight told them that the idol was already in the vast basin before the city of Frye appeared.
"But such a lone giant statue of a god is located in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, won't it be destroyed by those Demon Beasts who don't know the faith?" Gaia was very puzzled.
"I don't know much about that, I just know that the Giant was here a long time ago. With that, the griffin knight saluted again, and then withdrew.
Judging from the history of the construction of Frye City, Frye City was established 1,500 years ago, and the founder was the first Holy Emperor of the Holy Alliance, and after more than 1,500 years of development, this city has become a very special existence in the Eden Continent. From this, it can be inferred that the appearance of the idol was 1,500 years ago, so the continent of Eden was already different from the map on the parchment scroll 1,500 years ago.
The parchment scroll is said to have been left over more than 3,000 years ago, and it can be regarded as a very, very old item, and even now the royal families who keep this parchment scroll no longer know what this thing does, and it is only used as a dispensable map, and several royal families have not reacted much when they lose this parchment scroll.
"There must have been some changes, natural disasters or devastating wars...... "Selene reasoned that since the section on the giant god's hand was 1,500 years ago, and it corresponds to the real continent, then 3,000 years ago should not have changed much from the current continent.
As an antiquity three thousand years ago, the coastal line on the parchment scroll is very different from the present, excluding the vicissitudes of the sea, which takes tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years of evolution, then the map can only be a natural disaster or a war between demigods or even gods, destroying the coastline of the entire Eden continent.
"It stands to reason that such a major event should be recorded in the historical materials, but I have seen the history of Eden from 3,000 years ago to 1,500 years ago, and there is no relevant record. It is impossible for the entire continent to be aware of the changes along the coastline without one person. "Selene knows a lot about the history of Eden, and she is confident that she will not be blind to this major event because of a lack of knowledge, and the only possible history is that it has been covered up by something.
"It seems complicated...... Forget it, let's wait until you collect all the parchment scrolls, and then take out the current map of the continent of Eden for some comparison. Gaia shook her head, it must be impossible to speculate on the results based on these differences alone, but what makes Gaia strange is that even if there is a natural disaster or war, it is impossible to just change the coastal line, maybe there are some changes in the continent as well.
To find these differences, naturally, they can only compare them after collecting all the parchment scrolls, anyway, after this Frye City plan, they will go to the Simon Empire, and when they go to the Simon Empire, they will naturally steal the last parchment scroll, and then they will be able to reveal the mystery of this interesting continent, and even know why this god who should be above the four middle gods has declined.
Of course, Gaia will not forget the main purpose of coming here, in fact, when talking to the griffin knight just now, Gaia inquired about the giant statue guard knight by the way, and the griffin knight also seemed to want to show off his glory, and probably told Gaia about the situation of this idol guard knight.
As the name suggests, the Giant Statue Guardian Knight is naturally the team that guards the idol and prevents thieves from approaching, destroying, and destroying it. There are a total of fifty people in this team, and the difference between Gaia and Gaia is that all of these fifty people are sixth-order swordsmen.
The strength of fifty sixth-order swordsmen cannot be underestimated, if they are well-trained, they can completely compete with five sixth-order great swordsmen, much stronger than those faith warriors in the temple, and their knight captain is also a pinnacle-level great swordsman.
In this case, this team is completely equivalent to the strength of six peak great sword masters, if it is not for a saint-level powerhouse, I am afraid that it will be difficult to approach this god statue with the strength of a single person.
Dimi, Edith, and Faize, all of these three should be close to the peak of this level, including Gaia himself, then it is equivalent to only four peak level strength, but the other party can completely compete with the six peak levels, to break into the enchantment, and then obtain all the spring water of the fountain of life under the layer after layer of magic array at the foot of the temple.
"It seems that it is not possible to distract these gods and guard the knights. Gaia said to herself.
Of course, what Gaia cared about the most was not the fifty idol guard knights, but the saint-level powerhouses who lived in seclusion in the city of Flane. There are definitely more than ten saint-level powerhouses who have lived in Frye City for a long time, not including those who come to defend Frye City, and it is even more difficult to steal the spring water of the source of life under the noses of so many top masters, so Gaia can only pin his hopes on those lovely magical beasts.
"Woo ......" Norman'er showed an extremely excited look when he approached the source of life, after all, the source of life is an ancient relic inherited from the elves, as a little elf, Norman'er naturally had a great reaction to it, if it wasn't for Gaia to stop him, this little guy would have crashed into the enchantment with his head covered and his brain.
"Rest assured, what belongs to us, we will definitely get it back. Gaia patted the little guy and told him to calm down and not get too excited.
The Fountain of Life originally belonged to the Elves, and without the Elves humans would not know how to use this magical spring, but Gaia was a little strange as to why the city was built near the Fountain of Life, and whether the Fountain of Life appeared earlier or the statue of the god of the Sa Prayer fell here earlier.
The guards in the square are also the Idol Guardian Knights, although there are fewer than expected, but it is not easy to succeed, especially after so many saint-level powerhouses find out that the Fountain of Life has been stolen, how do they escape.
"Gaia, I think this statue is a little strange too. Just as she was leaving, Céline suddenly stopped, looked up at the statue that glittered in the sun, and asked such a question, facing the rising sun in the east.
"Is there anything strange?" Gaia also turned her head to examine the magnificent statue in the light, only to find that the statue that should have been made of solid silver rock had a slightly crystal clear feeling.
Silver rock is a more expensive material than ordinary brownite, this material is the material that makes the top layer of the statue, in fact, when Gaia saw this giant god statue, he also sighed where did he get such a huge silver rock to build this god statue, he didn't believe that such a huge silver rock with a height of sixty meters would inexplicably appear in a basin for those sculptors to carve.
Silver rocks have a reflective effect, which will appear even more dazzling under various lusters such as sunlight, moonlight, and magical light, which just sets off the sacred side of the gods.
But at this time, the giant god statue facing the morning sun did not show a dazzling side, but the body of the god statue was a little crystal clear, and it seemed that it could see another non-reflective material inside through the outer layer of silver rock.
"The material is ......" Céline and Gaia thought together, indeed the material of this god statue is very different from the statues of other gods, and at one moment Selene even felt that the material of this statue was somewhat similar to a certain structural material inside the magic wall.
Gaia didn't know much about the material of the statue, and although she thought it was strange, she didn't think about it deeply, and after hiding these doubts in her mind, it was convenient for Celine to start exploring this fantastic city.
Wandering the streets is naturally Céline's request, and for the princess who lives in the imperial city all year round, it is also a very unique pleasure to be able to walk freely on the bustling streets, especially in such a beautiful city.
"I haven't been to the imperial capital except for the street leading to the square in the imperial city, and the Mass City is only a large city, and it can't be compared with the imperial capital at all. As for this, of course, it is the most ideal city for me to live, and if I can, I will settle here in old age and decay......" Céline is obviously full of good hopes for the future life, of course, this is only for the future, in fact, this somewhat rebellious princess still prefers to live a life of travel, because she has a very strong curiosity and desire to learn.
"Old and ......" Gaia was a little helpless at the word Cherin used.
Now that Gaia has the inheritance of the elven race, and after getting the source of life, the lifespan will become three hundred years, even if it is another hundred years, Gaia is still young and handsome, but Seline may have passed away, thinking of this, Gaia's mood is also a little complicated.
"You don't seem to be happy to walk around with me?" Seeing that Gaia's eyes were a little dim, Celine said with some dissatisfaction, finally had a chance to be alone with Gaia, let this guy walk with him, he actually had a bitter melon face, did he really not have a little feeling for himself.
"No, I just thought of something a little sad. Gaia is not good at saying what is in her heart, and if she says what she is sad about just now, it may make Celine feel for a while, and maybe she will not control it well, so she will throw herself into her arms.
Naturally, Selene didn't ask about it, if it was about Meisha, it would probably affect her mood all day.
"Can I carve a little print on the necklace?" said to Gaia, as she walked past an ornate jewelry store, and suddenly thought of something. The necklace he was referring to was naturally the purple rose necklace that Gaia had given her, an S-class utensil.
"Okay, what do you want to engrave?" Gaia walked into the jewelry shop with her, and the utensils on his body had not been cared for for a while, so naturally he also needed to have those alchemists maintain them. Of course, this maintenance may cost Gaia a lot of money.
"It doesn't make much sense to tell you, I remember the good stories that circulated among the bards were like this, and they had to be made at the end...... Ah, I just wanted to engrave some words of blessing. Céline retracted her words in a bit of a panic, and then deliberately pretended to be looking at the beautiful magic charms.
Gaia naturally knew that she was so obvious that perhaps even without her telling, Gaia of Mu Ne would be able to guess what she was going to engrave.
“S...... S-class, this honorable young lady...... Are you sure you want to engrave those words on it, I'm afraid it will damage the value of this rare treasure......" The old alchemist was thrilled when Selene took off the necklace and gave it to the alchemist.
