Chapter 234 The pedestal

The moon shifted its angle, and the red light shrouded around it dissipated as it was about to sink to the horizon. The huge moon wheel finally turned into a slightly normal silvery white.?

Under the deserted moonlight, the huge waste seemed to be coated with a layer of white frost, and it seemed even more desolate in an instant. After experiencing the moonlight's several changes in color, the two people from another world were no longer surprised by its change, but they had a little helplessness in the desolate capital behind them.

"Well, it seems we've finally arrived... I dare say that the distance I just walked is longer than the mileage I've ever taken on any long-distance mission I've ever taken."

Relying on a broken rock guardrail, Curt looked at the road he had walked when he came in a little embarrassedly - there were still traces of walking along the ashes. Just beside him, the main road running through the abandoned capital was extended straight forward, as if it was about to lead directly to the foot of the high wall standing in the sky.

Walking from the city wall to the towering tower on the hillside is quite a long distance for the residents of the city - and for Curt, who is about a quarter of their height, it is like a long march that requires crossing mountains and ridges. If a person still complains halfway through the journey, then after coming here, he may not even feel like complaining.

Looking down at the ruins behind them, they seemed to be built on a gentle hillside, with straight roads built in several directions in the city leading to the black tower in the center. At a rough look, the slightly undulating slopes and the tower that soared straight into the sky were simply as insignificant as the small mound of soil under the feet of a giant.

With the tall tower as the center, the surrounding city walls are surrounded into a regular circle. The detailed areas depict geometric patterns inside the circle. The gray stone towers standing in various parts of the city are accurately placed in the center of each geometric pattern.

"This city seems to be built according to a very complex cube array structure, and each block is deliberately built for fixed purposes. Although I really want to analyze it, most areas have been weathered now. So I can't use my original functions."

Liqi had jumped off Curt not long ago. At this time, she was looking at the city under the hillside, carefully observing the structure of the city under the ashes. As she said, the structure of this huge city was like a magic cube array, but now she could no longer see the whole picture.

"If I didn't admit my mistake, this might be a circular array designed based on the magic transformation structure."

After hesitating for a moment, she continued: "The streets are the pathways for magic power to flow. The architectural pattern forms a structure similar to ancient texts. If they can still drive, the gathering point of all magic power should be those gray stone towers. All of this structure is placed for the main tower in the center, concentrating all the magic power at one point. Then build another spell that requires a lot of magic to operate."

It seemed to be to give Curt a better understanding, Liqi extracted a little magic power to outline a simple diagram of the city structure on the gray-white rock body. The pale magic power flowed out from Liqi's fingertips, and the lines emitting dim light gradually depicted a huge circular magic cube array.

Although the detailed structure of the graphics drawn by Liqi is not very clear, it can also be seen that the entire city has been built into a huge magic cube array by its designers. It is like a small part in a huge machine. All blocks are placed in a certain position at the right time. If they had not been covered with dust now, I am afraid that the buildings inside would have been organized into shapes similar to ancient texts and become elements of the weaving spell structure.

"Maybe, the decay scene I saw after coming here is all due to this strange giant magic cube array." Liqi muttered in a low voice, her expression looking a little subtle. "Although it is not possible to interpret its specific effects, this magic cube array gives me a very bad feeling."

Most of the city was buried in pieces of dead ashes, and the most serious area was almost covered by piles of ashes. However, only the towers that were the core were not stained with any ashes. Although many of the black towers and the squares built with hard rocks around had collapsed, no dust was left behind.

It was such a strange scene. The surroundings were as clean as if they had just been cleaned - but there was no smell of living creatures around them. Obviously, it was impossible for someone to stay in this waste city to clean it all day long. The only possibility was that some kind of force was hindering it from being attacked by dust.

The wooden railings have been completely crystallized, and their transparent appearance may be more beautiful than in the past; the towering steps are carved with delicate patterns, and you can still feel the prosperity of the past. The two of them have only seen such exquisite architectural structures in a few national exhibition halls.

Perhaps as Curt always advocated, there was the answer they wanted to know in this tall tower... Liqi turned her head and looked at the black tower behind her. The black stone had a texture like glass, and even the moonlight was twisted into colorful light inside the stone. The scattered colors looked like the light and shadow spreading in the kaleidoscope, and the figures of the two were also split into countless messy inverted images.

Directly facing the two, a metallic door was embedded in the dark stone of the tower. The undecorated gate was even several times higher than the main city gate of the imperial capital. The heavy texture made people feel that the door built by unknown materials was even as heavy as a mountain.

"Let's go."

After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Curt reached out to the closed black door, and his magical hand reached towards the door, trying to open the gap that allowed the two of them to pass through. However, he pushed it with all his might, but it seemed that he had touched the air, which almost made him fall.

Buzzing-

The seemingly heavy material seemed to have no weight. The sealed black door slowly retreated back without any obstacles when Curt touched it gently. With a low friction sound, the space locked behind the heavy door appeared little by little before the two of them.

What is presented in front of us is a huge hall, with dozens of stone tablets of different heights standing everywhere in the hall. The stone tablets standing around are all carved from heavy stone, and a large number of articles are written on the polished surface with incomprehensible words.

The things depicted on the inscriptions are different from any text seen in the past. These inscriptions are more of "texts" than some kind of "texts". They depict wonderful structures in some special form, just like ancient text arrays in the Magic Cube array.

The setting inside the tower looks like a microcosm of the city, especially those stone tablets, whose structure looks like the shape of the stone towers before they were damaged. The pure white and solid stone is also inlaid with a large number of crystals - it’s a pity that the crystals embedded on it have long been broken and scattered into debris all over the ground.

In addition to these scenes, the tower seems to be at a different time from the outside world. The warm sunlight in the afternoon is spread onto the ground through the vents on the tower. The scattered light spots reflect diamond-shaped arrays on the ground, and you can feel the warmth of the sunlight when you touch it.

"These 'stones' should be the center of all the magic structures of the entire city. They absorb the magic power of the surrounding areas and then run onto the tower."

Liqi glanced at the surrounding stone tablets and tried to analyze the words depicted on them: "These patterns should be the words used by the residents of this world... They are such weird things, and they don't seem to be thinking about what kind of grammar they are using."

It was not that Liqi wanted to admit defeat, but the words used in these inscriptions were really different from what she understood, and she could not even find a similar language type to assist in the interpretation. After reading it for a while, she finally realized that her fragrance was futile and had to turn around and observe everything else.

In this warm space with a very different style from the outside world, the most eye-catching thing was not the stone tablets that had lost their power from the beginning. In this huge hall, there are several human-shaped statues, which are different from all the species seen in the past. These should be the masters of this world.

On both sides of the main road, there were several statues of giants, and their bodies might be more burly than the former giant clan that boasted of their size. They should be the guards here, so they would lean on the ground with one hand and hold a huge weapon in the other hand to glar at the visitor.

However, some situations make people feel quite strange. The proportion of the whole body looks extremely deformed. The hand that the giants leaned on the ground was abnormally enlarged, looking like a huge shield covering their bodies. On the contrary, the heads pressed against the huge body were only the size of an ordinary person. In this way, the heads found by the two at that time may indeed belong to the residents here.

Behind these guards, there was a larger giant statue standing - his body was taller than those guards combined, and he looked like he was wearing an extremely thick and weird armor. The muscles on his sturdy body were bulging in blocks, as if boasting about his own strength.

However, there was no head on his body...or in other words, his head seemed to have been cut off by someone, and there was only a gap in his majestic body. Because it was too high, the two of them could not see the gap, so naturally they could not know what it looked like.

"Oh, Curt... don't you think that some parts of the statue are familiar?" Liqi pointed to the direction where the giant statue was and signaled him to look at the base below, "It's not the big stupid man's head, look at the part under his feet, the thing he was stepping on."

Indeed, there is another more noteworthy thing than the appearance of the giant - just under the giant's foot, boots that are built into the sharp claws of the birds of prey are stepping on the piles of fragments. From a distance, they seem to be able to combine a complete badge.

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

The moment he saw the fragments of the badge, Curt felt an indescribable unhappiness - the badge has been seen too many times in recent times.

That is the Sun Holy Emblem believed in by the Vikinas Church. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
