Half an hour later, Nia finally walked out of this passage.
What is presented before us is a large and magnificent building, although many stone sculptures have been eroded by time and turned into fragments, and many metal products have also rusted extensively. But these flaws still cannot conceal the former glory of this building. At the top of the cave, dozens of huge white magic crystals are emitting soft light.
Because it is an underground building, this underground city has no city walls, which saves Nia the trouble of knocking on the door. I found a nearby house and walked in, only to realize that the history of this city is even longer than I had imagined.
The door of this building is made of iron. When Nia pushed the door open, it was completely rusted and eventually kicked open by Nia.
Inside the door, there were no more wooden furniture to be seen. The ordinary wood had completely turned into powder, and it was also a relatively ventilated place where a gentle breeze blew the powder all over the floor.
Stepping on the wooden powder, Nia arrived at the kitchen. Although there wasn't much to see in the kitchen, there were still plenty of opportunities to find porcelain. Although they are mostly fragments of porcelain and the colors on top have faded, the luxurious gold plating on the surface of the plate still indicates that this place once had excellent artworks, with styles dating back approximately 5000 to 6000 years.
Guangling, how many light elements are there here? If there are many, can you give me any information
Well... Master, you can see that this place has a history of five to six thousand years, and the elements here have basically disappeared due to air circulation. I can't ask for any information about that time, but you can go to the house in the center and have a look. The elements tell me that there is the only skeleton inside this city
Nia raised her eyebrows and said, 'Bones? There's only one skeleton in such a big city?'
This underground city is quite large, and according to the number of houses, it can accommodate at least 500000 people. If there is a skeleton, there should not be only one. If it is looted by someone else, they will not handle the body. But if it's a relocation in Jucheng, even if someone stays, there shouldn't be just one skeleton
Uh... I don't want to, go take a look. "Shaking her head, Nia walked towards the central house.
The house standing in the center is quite dazzling, with white marble, golden doors and windows, and an unchanged appearance over time. This house looks incredibly beautiful?
There is a lot of magic silver embedded on the door, obviously a magic circle. However, when Nia pushed the door open, the magic circle showed no reaction at all. Turning behind the door, she realized that the power source on the magic circle, the magic crystal, had already fallen to the ground. Perhaps a simple connection structure was designed for easy replacement, but the material of this structure cannot withstand the erosion of time, making the door unable to function effectively.
Behind the door is a hall, and further inside is a corridor.
The ten marble columns in the hall were depicted in gold and silver, presenting beautiful pictures one by one, but these decorations did not reveal any information about the people who had lived here before.
Nia followed the guidance of the Light Spirit, walked through the hall, and entered the corridor. Inside the corridor, there are numerous traces of paintings on the walls, but the paint has all peeled off due to time.
This place is really luxurious! Even the palace outside is nothing more than that now
Master, you can find information inside. There are some pictures and words on the wall of the innermost room of this house, and the skeleton is in that room
Quickly, passing through corridors one after another, Nia arrived at the room that Light Spirit had mentioned. This is a room of less than 100 square meters. In one corner of the room, there is a chair made of crystal wood, which has some of the characteristics of crystal. As long as it is not soaked in water, it can last for a long time without rotting. On the chair, there is a skeleton. I walked in and saw that the skeleton was holding a dagger in its hand, which had not fallen yet. There was something black on the dagger, which looked a bit like bloodstains, but bloodstains should not have been stored for so long.
Master, "Guangling flew around the room and returned to Nia's shoulder," the door of this room is sealed and there is no element circulation. I have received a lot of information
Tell me, there's something, something valuable that can be moved out
Guangling wiped away a nonexistent cold sweat from his head and said, "The person sitting on the chair died about 5000 years ago, and the exact time is unclear. The thing on the wall now was taken by this person and protected by magic, so it did not disappear. Secondly, the establishment of this city was about 5500 years ago
It's still not very useful... it's better to look at the painting
On the wall, there is a large amount of text written, and it is not one of them. Among these texts, Nia discovered human script, elf script, dwarf script, and beast script. Except for the Haizu script, the scripts of the more populous races are all complete.
Although there are many words on the wall, the general meaning is the same: this city is built by a group of people who are unwilling to live in the competition of various interests and have united with other races with similar ideas. In the year 496 of the Ice and Fire Calendar, this city was largely completed. The people living here have established a management style similar to that of a parliament, making life here relatively peaceful. In the year 1011 of the Ice and Fire Calendar, a dwarf created a dagger named Frost Blade. The huge elemental fluctuations attracted a large number of contenders from the ground. After learning about the city, these raiders launched a massive attack on it. Due to years of stability, there are few people in this city who can confront it, and soon less than ten thousand people were killed. Finally, a person came up with an idea to use the weapon to create a trap and lure the group of robbers into a hole. They then used the dagger in a way to create an elemental explosion. There were too few people left, and after burying everyone's bodies, the remaining people only survived for less than twenty years before dying one after another. And the last person wrote their last words in this room.
Although some people on the mainland would be very excited to see these histories, Nia saw something else. Because these words state that in the basement of this house, there are numerous books documenting the research achievements of the people here. Because the people here are all peaceful, they have made significant achievements in research. A large number of research achievements in magic and alchemy are recorded in these books.
