Chapter 464: 463. Civilization in the Ruins

Chapter 464 463. Civilization in the Ruins

The three members of the combat team slid down from the high vent along the rope, and Samira quickly hid behind a broken rock wall. She bent down and stared at a group of **** dogs hundreds of meters away. The vicious dog wandered around here for a while, but didn't realize that the scouting team had sneaked into the ruins.

Surdak stepped on the broken stones and tiles under his feet, and hid behind a broken stone wall with Samira.

There was a part of the mouth of a clay pot buried under the sand. Seeing the exquisite patterns on the mouth of the bottle, he casually picked it up from the gravel, but his hands were very light. A bottle mouth was broken from the neck of the clay pot, and the body part of the bottle remained in the sand.

There is a sense of age everywhere in the ruins. Most of the mottled stone walls have collapsed. Even those that only stand in the ruins cannot withstand any external force. A light touch may completely prevent the wall from collapsing completely. Lose.

The team of **** dogs walked farther and farther on the street, and finally disappeared at the end of sight.

The light on the top of the cave is very weak. This underground ruins is like the darkest moment at dusk. Only a vague black shadow can be seen a hundred meters away, but the combat team stood at a high place at that time, but they can see it better. farther away.

The buildings in the ruins of this city are all extremely tall. Surdak walked into a well-preserved dwelling. Although the roof had completely collapsed, the basic pattern of the foundation could still be seen clearly. Some broken gravel and pottery fragments, Suldak found that these pottery vessels were very exquisitely made, almost every fragment had patterns.

Andrew, an aboriginal warrior of the Nanai nationality, found a stack of silver plates in a room, but these silver plates were only palm-sized, covered with a layer of gray-black hard skin, which was heavy in his hand, and he scraped off the black skin with a dagger, and the You can see the sterling silver inside, even if it is covered with a layer of black leather, you can still see the exquisite patterns printed on these silver plates.

"I hope the archaeologists in Wojmara will like these silver plates." Andrew happily packed the stack of silver plates into his backpack.

Suldak walked to a room that looked like a kitchen. Samira was squatting on the edge of a dilapidated low wall. From a stone platform that looked like a stove, he took a piece of wood that was covered with green rust. The red copper rune board was lifted off, and the dust on it was vigorously dusted off. The smoke and dust filled the air for a while, and Samira was surrounded by thick dust.

The magic circle engraved on the rune board has been damaged beyond recognition, but the engraved magic pattern can still be seen faintly. From the outline inside, one can also see the magic pattern on the scroll of Suldak's Gathering Fire Technique. Lots of similarities. However, the magic pattern on this ancient magic rune board is much more complicated.

"This rune plate should be worth some money." The half-elf archer rubbed the copper rust on it vigorously, wanting to see how damaged the rune plate was.

Suldak was in the corner of the room, looking for a clay pot that looked complete from the gravel. He moved the pot vigorously and found that it was not moving at all. Even more curious, he took out the craftsman's sword and carefully dug up the sand beside the pot.

"Captain, you seem to like these pottery?" Andrew leaned over and helped Suldak dig out a clay pot buried in the fine sand.

Suldak couldn't explain that he had a very unique complex with ceramics in terms of antiques, so he smiled faintly at Andrew.

This clay pot is heavy in the hand. It is hard to imagine how this clay pot, which looks as big as a can, can be so heavy. Suldak used the horn on the dagger to break open the calcified mud seal on the top of the clay pot, and found that it was half full of golden shells that looked like small shells.

"My God, Captain, you dug up a pot of gold..."

Andrew exclaimed, and immediately attracted Samira not far away. The half-elf girl also looked at the half pot of gold with glittering eyes, showing an unbelievable look in her eyes.

Sami stretched out his hand and took out a full gold shell that was only as big as a thumbnail. Looking at the fine patterns on the shell, he exclaimed, "I've never seen this kind of gold shell. The craftsmanship of these patterns is really exquisite. .”

Andrew also said enthusiastically: "The ruins of this city are really full of surprises everywhere. The people who live here don't seem to be giants. These clay pots and silver plates don't seem to be enough to make wine cups for giants. Could it be ancient times? The ruins of the ogre's underground city?"

Suldak and Samira turned their heads to look at Andrew. Andrew could only shrug his shoulders and said:

"Well, I didn't say..."

These small discoveries in the ruins completely aroused the team's desire to search. After the three people left the ruins, they crossed a street and quickly searched for a larger ruin, but these ruins looked more dilapidated, and many The ruins all had some traces of later life, and three or four building ruins were found in a row. Except for Sharmila who found a copper candlestick, Suldak and Andrew had nothing to gain.

The initial desire to search and explore gradually calmed down. The three people found that they had walked into the ruins of the city unknowingly. There was already a long distance from the edge of the ruins. A team of hellhounds passed by on the main road.

All three of them were covered with man-eating pollen, so the hellhounds' noses couldn't feel their presence at all. These hellhounds seemed to have problems with their eyesight. The darker the place, the less they could see too far, so the battle team With Samira's keen vision, almost all of them avoided the hellhounds searching in the city ruins in advance.

Along the way, they didn't see any trace of the ghost monkey.

It can be seen from some exposed flat strips of rocky ground, and in front of it is a square covered by ruins.

The building ruins around the square are arranged very neatly. There is also a huge dilapidated ruin in the middle of the square. It looks like this dilapidated ruin is like a tall tower. There are many huge stones scattered around the base, and there are still some exquisite reliefs on many huge stones.

However, judging from the patterns of these reliefs, apart from the elves and winged men, the most appearing images on the reliefs are a group of races smaller than dwarves, which look a bit like those ghost monkeys seen in the jungle, but this race It seems that they have extremely brilliant civilizations, they have their own language and characters, and they seem to have created powerful war beasts, which can actually wage war against the ancient elf dynasty and the winged humans of the sky city...

Samira lightly touched a relief with her fingers, and the relief instantly turned into a handful of gravel. The elf girl Samira turned her head to look at Suldak and asked, "What are they? They don't look like humans. ancestors."

"Definitely not." Suldak replied firmly.

Samira said again: "Could it be the ancient dwarf dynasty?"

"It doesn't look like it either!" Suldak shook his head and said.

The biggest signs of dwarves are long beards and fine wine that can be braided, huge furnaces, and underground fire veins, and this is just an underground city of a large mountainside cave.

"Why do we bother with this..." Andrew said honestly while standing on a huge gear.

Andrew failed to remove the spear from the wall, but his great strength made the round stone wall make a dull sound.

"when…"

Dust is flying on the stone wall.

After the dust settled, what appeared in front of Suldak was a clock face with a diameter of more than ten meters. It was clearly divided into twelve areas, and a very strange character was engraved on it. Even if Suldak Ke didn't know it, but he could also guess that the above should be some numbers.

What Andrew wants to remove is not a knight's spear at all, but a giant pointer on the clock face.

Suldak did not expect that this place turned out to be a collapsed clock tower, and after so many years, the clock dials that fell from the clock tower were preserved so completely.

Andrew was hanging on a pointer with his face covered in dust, and he couldn't shake the pointer even with all his strength.

At this moment, Andrew's attention had been diverted from these pointers, and he also found that he could not take these huge pointers away with his own strength. He saw a row of hammers under the dial, and these hammers should be used by the clock tower. For telling the time, the handles of these hammers are more than three meters long. One side of the hammer head is cylindrical and the other is tapered.

Suldak didn't know how many magic metals these rams were mixed with to be stainless for thousands of years. At this time, Andrew had already used all his strength to remove a ram from the metal frame. He laughed and said, "This hammer is probably Gree's Tem would like it, it's much stronger than his big stick!"

"Are you sure you plan to carry this away?" Samira looked at the heavy hammer in Andrew's hand and asked suspiciously.

With all his strength, Andrew lifted the ram to Suldak, and said with a smile: "I'm going to hand this to the captain, he must have a way to take it away!"

Perhaps the loud noise just now attracted some creatures around. A ghost monkey crawled out of the drainage ditch with a hard armor scale on its head and a blow dart in its mouth. It saw Surdak and his party , and fled into the ditch in fright.

Suldak saw the ferocious face of the ghost monkey. It had short limbs, a disproportionately large head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, a pair of big eyes full of bloodshot eyes, full of greed and cunning. A blow dart looks a little crazy.

While running, the figure was actually somewhat similar to the race on the stone relief. Suldak said with some doubts: "Do you think it is possible that the former owners of this dungeon ruins were these wild monkeys?"

After hearing what Suldak said, Andrew immediately laughed and said, "You mean these uncivilized subspecies of wild monkeys? If I am the owner of this civilization relic, then I am the supreme **** of this world."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Suldak still had some respect for the gods. He always thought that the sacrificial ceremony was a blessing from a certain god, but these blessings were equivalent to him.

The city is very well planned, the streets are very neat, and the buildings are well arranged. Although only some cornerstones are left in ruins, you can still see the drainage ditches opened on both sides of the road, and some intersections are carved with exquisite patterns. Suldak regretted that he didn't study the general history of the world more deeply when he was in the Knight Academy, but just looked over the history of the Grimm Empire to get a general idea.

From a distance, I saw a three-headed hellhound leading a large group of hellhounds searching in the opposite direction. The three-headed hellhound was like a king, patrolling his own territory, Sulda Of course, the three of Ke didn't want to meet these **** dogs head-on, and the three immediately went deep into the ruins to avoid the group of **** dogs.

The three of them did not go far, but hung far behind these **** dogs, and followed them through half of the ruins of the city. The number of **** dogs here has increased significantly, but the three of them did not find any connection. The gate of evil spirits in the **** world.

The three hellhounds led a group of men into a library-like building. This is almost the only intact building in this ruined city. There are nearly a hundred hellhounds around the library, which can be described as heavily guarded.

Seeing that they could not go deep into it, the three of Surdak carefully withdrew from this area and hid in a ruin.

Andrew guessed: "Could this be another hatching room for the devil's son?"

Suldak shook his head and said noncommittally: "We withdrew, as long as we bring this information back, we should have completed the mission!"

The combat team bypassed the patrolling Hellhounds, intending to return the same way.

Just as she passed a ruin not far from the library, Samira, who was in charge of exploring the path, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were looking into a circular ruin.

"What's wrong?" Suldak asked in a low voice.

Samila leaped nimbly onto a low wall of ruins, put her hands together on a transparent pointed ear, and listened attentively.

After a while, he said with great certainty: "There are shouts over there..."

"Hell dog or ghost monkey?" Suldak asked casually without reacting for a while.

"Grimm Empire!" Samira said.

Suldak stopped in his tracks and said, "Let's go and have a look..."

Walking into the circular ruins, I found that this area is also filled with a large number of hellhounds. This area is also heavily guarded, and the three of them have no way to get close.

Suldak saw a high platform a few hundred meters away, which looked like an altar, so he pointed to it, and the three members of the team immediately moved there. Sure enough, there were not many patrolling hells here. The vicious dog, relying on Samira's keen intuition to avoid the **** dog, the three of them secretly climbed up the tens of meters high altar and looked down at the circular ruins.

This ring-shaped ruin looks like a Colosseum, with huge cages lined up in the field, and the shouts came from the cages...
