I really can't control myself.

Chapter 966

After entering the water, Linton discovered that the situation at the bottom of the lake was somewhat complicated.Linton drove the circle all the way down. First of all, he first discovered that the depth of the lake is really scary, which is not normal for a lake.From the outside, it looks like the surface of this lake is just the tip of the iceberg of this lake. It is estimated that not many people know about the situation below.

Then Linton discovered that this lake was not a stagnant lake at all. As he had guessed before, this lake had passages under the water, and some cracks obviously had water flowing in and out, and the locations leading to it were beyond the detection range of Linton's circle. Don't know where to go.Because of this, the water flow below the lake is very chaotic, and there are undercurrents everywhere. It is estimated that ordinary people may be in danger at any time when they come down.

Linton's swimming skills are not good. Although he can't hold back to death, he can't swim fast.Yes, here Linton discovered another aspect that he is not good at. It seems that besides flying, he is also weak in swimming.Fortunately, the octopus that brought him was very good at swimming. Although most of the tentacles were cut off by Linton, only three or four tentacles were left, but it didn't seem to affect his speed, or he could swim. faster.

Of course, Linton is not worried that he will run away, because the mark has already been put on. If this guy wants to run away, Linton will definitely catch up to him and kill him.But the octopus here seems to know the gap, and now it doesn't plan to run away, and has been grabbing Linton with its tentacles and diving steadily.

Soon, Linton had reached the bottom of the lake.The bottom of the lake is not a flat piece of land, the space below is very rugged, just as Linton suspected, this side may have been part of a mountain before.And when Linton dived to the bottom, Linton probably knew what happened.

Yes, what appeared in front of Linton was an underwater relic. Judging from some of the things that Yuan Sweep saw, it was obviously a ruin similar to a city built artificially. After many years, most of the buildings were no longer recognizable. , but some remnants can still be seen.

Seeing the ruins of this city, Linton also guessed that this might be the vanished ancient empire that Yalan and the others mentioned before. It seems that the legend is actually true.From what was discovered before, Linton speculated that the real reason for the disappearance of the ancient empire should be a natural disaster such as a major earthquake.

I said before that Linton saw the pebbles by the lake and thought that the lake might have been a river before. Now it seems that this guess is correct.This lake-bottom city was probably an important city in this ancient empire, founded on the river.One day a big earthquake came suddenly, and the surrounding mountains were collapsed by the earthquake, blocking the river, causing the river to backflow, and directly flooding the entire city.

As for the cultural relics and other things found by those adventurers before, Linton thinks that they may also flow out here. I said before that there are many undercurrents under the lake, and there are some rivers outside the passages. It may be that some undercurrents rolled up the bottom of the water. The cultural relics rushed outside through the passage, and were picked up by the adventurers who came in.

As for the other cities of this ancient empire, it is estimated that they were annihilated in history.It might be because of this big earthquake, or it might be something else. In short, things on the ground perish much faster than here. This underwater city left its mark because of this lake.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Linton, he just came down to find the core of the world.However, the result made Linton a little disappointed.

According to the previous situation, if Linton came down, if there was a world core, he should be able to scan it directly.Because the steel giant was controlled by an octopus before, it could be regarded as an octopus' weapon in theory, but after getting close to the opponent, Linton got a prompt directly, so Linton boldly guessed that the core of the world should not have any ownership issues. , this aspect should be different from valuables.

However, he walked around below, and Linton didn't get any hints.The octopus also took Linton to the place where he found the steel giant. This place was a palace, but the remaining wreckage Linton couldn't tell whether it was a palace or a temple. Before it was destroyed, it should be a very magnificent place. The building can be judged from the size of the land, but now there are only a pile of broken clods left.

Similarly, Linton didn't get any hints around the palace. He scanned it with a circle, and there was nothing suspicious.The silt at the bottom of the lake has been accumulated for many years. Because they swim here, the silt keeps rising up, and the visibility is getting lower and lower. Linton can hardly see anything.

After scanning for a while, Linton still gave up, probably because he didn't have what he was looking for.But I can't just give up like this. After all, I don't have any clues about the core of this world. Now I only found a fragment here, so I can only look for it from here.

After thinking about it, Linton felt that the only way was to do some research on this ruin, or the dynasty of this hour, to see if the other party had any records or clues about it.However, Linton was not prepared to do this work by himself. He was not an archaeologist, and he didn't know how to do it at all.

After thinking about it, Linton decided to mobilize the power of the masses. As long as he discloses this place, maybe someone will come here to conduct research.Of course, to be public, Linton needs something attractive, so after thinking about it, Linton decided to move something back.

Yes, Linton found a lot of strange things below, most of which were metal-type things, and some that looked like treasures. Linton felt that if he brought these things back, it would definitely cause a sensation. In this way, many people should pay attention to this place.

Secondly, you can ask someone to study the things that Linton brought back, maybe you can analyze something, for example, Linton found some metal plates with obvious engravings on them, or there are still a small half of the stele-like things left. , These things may be the texts recorded by this dynasty, anyway, they look similar, Linton decided to take them back first and then talk about them.

Although he couldn't see anything, Linton could still lock the position of these things by relying on the circle.After swimming down there, Linton quickly received some things and put them in the package. Of course, Linton didn't have to float up again after finishing these things. He returned to Gasaine on the shore with a flash of white light.As for the octopus, Linton also said to let it go, and the other party was indeed quite obedient.

"Huh" Linton, who returned to the shore, let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, it is still comfortable on the shore, because the bottom is covered with mud. Linton has held his breath until now. Looking at the situation on his body, it is true that his whole body is covered with mud. People turned black.

"Wow, are you going to dig river mud?" Gason next to him couldn't help but said.

"I'm digging for treasure." Linton said, throwing a lot of fished things out of his bag. Although most of the things were wrapped in sand and turned into black things, everyone knew it at a glance. , It's really a treasure.

"Is there really a treasure?" Gassen said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, there is a flooded city in the lake, probably the ancient dynasty you mentioned thousands of years ago." Linton said.

"Is there really an ancient dynasty? I always thought it was a legend." Yalan next to him said.

"Does our royal family have an archaeological team?" Linton asked.

"Do you want to study this site? Or these cultural relics?" Yalan asked.

"This dynasty may have some information about what I want, but I'm not sure. Find a group to study it." Linton said.

"The royal family doesn't have any archaeological teams, but the folks should have them," Yalan said.

"Well, when we go back, we will publish an article in the newspaper, saying that we have discovered the ruins here, and the royal family is going to organize an archaeological team to investigate and see if we can recruit similar talents." Linton said, "So many If you say baby, it should be able to cause a topic, and it is estimated that many people will pay attention to it. If you cast the net widely, you should be able to recruit people who need it."

"Understood." Yalan nodded, "Is this related to the Cthulhu Church?"

"Yes, it has something to do with it." Linton didn't know how to explain it. Unexpectedly, Yalan took the initiative to help Linton explain it, and Linton of course followed the trend, "But don't make this matter public for now. I need to Do your own research first."

"Okay." Yalan nodded. She also knew that Linton was very diligent in investigating the Cthulhu Church. If she could help, she would definitely do it with all her strength.

"Let's go back and talk about it. Let's have a barbecue party first. I'll take a shower in the hut, and you guys will bake first." Linton said.

"Uh...About this..." Yalan hesitated a little while talking about this, "Uh...can you let that dragon go."

"Oh? Why?" Linton asked strangely.

"Because that dragon is willing to make a contract with me." Gason said next to him.

"You also want to be a dragon knight?" Linton asked.

"No, it's me..." Yalan said.

"Huh?" Linton was slightly taken aback.

"Actually, it's about the rebirth potion. The blood essence of the dragon is very precious, and Vecna ​​can't provide new blood essence now," Gassen said.

"You want the rebirth potion?" Linton asked Yalan, "Holy level?"

"Have you forgotten? This rebirth potion has other effects besides this." Gasain said, "That Iglis lived to be 145 years old..."

Linton suddenly understood that the rebirth potion also had a seemingly useless passive effect, which was to delay aging.Yes, Iglis lived to be 145 years old, and he still looks like he is in his forties, and he is so strong that he doesn't seem to be aging at all. It is estimated that he can live for a long time.So of course Yalan understood why Linton wanted the rebirth potion, after all... she was a woman.

It seems that when I entered the water, the dragon also reached a consensus with a few people in order to save his life. Does that mean... I can't eat dragon meat anymore?But... she was his wife after all, and Yalan seldom made requests, and Linton had no way to refuse, although he had other ways.

"Then...forget it, let's eat grilled squid today." Linton said, pointing to the octopus tentacles still bouncing on the nearby bank.
