I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 402 The City of Gold
goo goo goo...

Tu Fu, who was naked from the upper body, jumped down from the bank, and no one appeared for a long time.

Then, a string of bubbles slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.

Only a few plankton were active in this lake located on the mountain. The bottom of the lake was like a bottomless pit, pitch black with no end in sight. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't swim to the bottom.

The further Tu Fu went downstream, the more he could feel that there was an invisible barrier, deliberately blocking people who came here.

It also deliberately strengthened the suppression of extraordinary power, as if the source of everything came from the bottom of this lake.

Swimming to the bottom, he only felt a strong suction force, as if something was pulling his legs and feet, and he kept sinking down, falling down again...

Tu Fu's body instinctively launched a defense mechanism. Fortunately, the lake water is not as salty and bitter as the sea water. No matter how much he opened his eyes when he kept falling into the bottom, he couldn't see anything.

Let this consciousness drive him to a deeper realm.

It seemed that a century had passed, and with a violent "swish" of the water, Tufu fell into a rather empty cave along the direction.

Compared with the previous location of the chessboard, the height here has expanded more than a hundred times.

The builders seem to have hollowed out the entire mountain range, including the thousands of meters at the bottom of the mountain range as a space for building this great relic.

"Is this the City of Gold that Captain Arthur once visited?" Tu Fu whispered, and slowly stood up from the pool.

There was pitch blackness in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

After falling into this place, he felt that all the extraordinary power had returned. Tu Fu closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "God said, the world should have light."

The voice fell.

Thus, the world has light.

In the vast and huge ancient ruins, a sun-like light source slowly rose in front of his eyes, illuminating as far as he could see.

The warm sunlight evenly distributes the light beams to every part of the ruins without any preference.

When the shadows in the ruins faded, dozens of huge and majestic buildings immediately fell into Tufu's eyes, just like the adventurer Captain Arthur who came here a century ago, everything that caught his eye was gold.

A large amount of gold created this lost "City of Gold".

There are a large number of temples of gods in the city center, among which the Temple of the Seven Gods is the most magnificent.

The top of each building has a characteristic statue that symbolizes pointing to the gods, the "spear and shield" of the goddess of wisdom, the "scale" of the god of order, and the trident of the sea god of the storm lord...

"It turns out that people in the Southern Continent also know the Seven Gods, but why do they believe in the omniscient sage?"

Tu Fu lowered his head and pondered this weird question.

The only thing that comes to mind is that it would be easier to pray and make wishes to gods other than the Seven, at least with a price tag.

And believers who regard the seven gods as Allah have always had difficulty obtaining blessings.

For example, Tu Fu sincerely begged the Seven Gods to make him rich in Baia Kingdom earlier,
But it didn't work.

After that, there are buildings with the style of the southern continent, mainly Baroque and Quechua native, temples, palaces, towers, cemeteries, everything that a city should have.

Just because of the passage of time, those giant buildings made of gold have already shown obvious oxidation,
Some color changes have occurred, and spots and rust are the norm.

Time can't change everything, but it will leave traces on it after all.

"The amount of gold needed to build a city may only be obtained by hollowing out a whole continent, but it's really stalwart."

Tu Fu approached the nearest golden tower, touched the heavy weight with his hand, and said to himself:
"Speaking of which, more than a dozen generations of the Quechua tribe have been secretly building this project, just to give the lost tribal warriors a resting place and play the role of the Hall of Valor."

This incident has been recorded in historical materials, and it is not a secret.

The commonality of all great civilizations is that they will build some rather magnificent buildings behind the same territory.

Whether it is to carry the remains of the dead princes and nobles, or to continue to fight in the underworld after the death of the king, it does not necessarily mean that he wants to prove to the future generations how strong the country under his leadership is.

Maybe it's just the king's self-esteem at work, and he wants to have a good time when he is dying.

Everything is extravagant, and I can't wait to let the world know.

Tu Fu looked at this so-called city of gold with this thought in mind, and soon he discovered the limitations of his own thinking.

Those giant golden buildings did not store funeral objects such as coffins or "life-sized Nendoroids". He used his teleportation ability to "swipe" into some buildings,
Only then did he see something that really surprised him.

The interior of the building is not hollow, and the large and small boxes inside are covered with tarpaulins, and the smell of gunpowder is everywhere.

Uncovering the tarpaulins revealed tons of wooden boxes.

The goods lying inside are naturally the mainstream weapons of the Ingaso civilization period, semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, carbines, and assault rifles, standard equipment that spans the ages.

Many cold gun barrels lay quietly in it, and the piles of metal bullets in the wooden box gave Tu Fu an illusion as if he was in another world.

There are hundreds of wooden boxes containing all kinds of guns.

Tu Fu took a semi-automatic rifle and weighed it a few times. Its caliber and manufacturing process level were roughly at the level of the beginning of World War II.

Although it has not yet become the level of a weapon of war, it is also beyond the current era.

And there is much more than that inside, this is just one of the buildings, and when we go to the next building, the warehouse, the things stored in it are completely new.

The chariot covered with iron tracks was neatly parked here, and the cold and dark gun barrels were aimed at a certain direction.

"The simple hexagonal turret is a prototype of a T-34 tank."

Tu Fu took a look at the Soviet-style tanks. The average gun caliber of this type of tank was 66-76 mm, which could easily tear apart any steel defense line in this era.

If there are tens of thousands of vehicles, it is enough to level the current Northern Continent.

Tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks and other highly mobile vehicles are each placed in an area.

In the warehouse that goes further forward, there are parked bombers of the early stage, with a single-wing conventional aerodynamic layout, constant-speed propeller engines, and a bomb load of 1-2 tons.

It is also a bomber close to the level of World War II. These things have exceeded the upper limit of this era in terms of technology and use.

"It seems that the Southern Continent has already learned how to use oil, and the Southern Continent must be rich in resources, so that the weapon technology tree can reach such a point.

It's no wonder that Captain Arthur and the others were surprised. Compared with the Northern Continent of the Third Epoch, they were the aborigines with spears, bows and arrows. "

After Tu Fu visited, he subconsciously complained.

Even if he is a modern person who has lived in this world for a long time, he can't help being amazed when he sees such advanced technology.

Presumably, when the Ingaso Empire sealed these weapons, it was used as a reserve of national strategic resources to preserve the country's military strength.

In order to deal with powerful enemies in the future.

Not only failed to win the final war.

It is a pity that even though the Ingaso Empire sealed these things in a special way, most of these weapons have started to rust and become a pile of scrap iron after being placed for thousands of years.

The only thing that can be used for reference is the technology.

As long as you have a thorough understanding of these technologies, you can achieve mass production, and you can understand these things within twenty years.

"fair enough."

Tu Fu heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, he was also debating whether to take these things out together,

Help Baia solve the current difficulties.

But if such a powerful weapon is born, and thousands of tanks and bombers are born, it is not difficult to imagine the consequences of them falling into the national army.

If it is really created, I am afraid that it will stimulate William II's already inflated mentality, and then take it all as his own credit. Maybe that bastard really dared to fight a world war.

And if these technologies are just born, it will take some time to fully digest them all.

Not only is it advanced in military weapons, the Incasso civilization is a very advanced empire, and there are also a large number of paintings, sculptures, clothing, buildings that can be passed down from generation to generation...

They are all works of art worthy of reference for future generations.

After taking a cursory glance at those things, Tu Fu noticed that at the center of the city of gold, besides the Temple of the Seven Gods, there was also a big bell made of gold in the open air.

The top has been piled up with dust, filling all the gaps in the original runes and graphics, and Tu Fu can smell a dusty smell as soon as he leans over.

"The wind is coming!"

He took out the "Scepter of the Sea God" from his waist, and shook it easily in the air twice, and as he wished, he heard a gust of wind erupting from the place where the scepter was.

The violent sound of "hush" blew past, scraped across the surface of the big clock, and wiped away the dust accumulated for a long time on the surface of the clock, and the golden bell immediately revealed many beautiful lines.

What caught Tu Fu's attention was not the big clock in the middle.

Instead, the bottom is used as stone steps and an inscription with the handwriting of the full house.

The inscriptions are on the inscriptions, and there are murals carved on the base. The scale of the big bell is not smaller than that of ordinary buildings. The height alone is seven or eight meters. The workmanship of engraving murals on it is naturally quite cumbersome.

"The Ingasus claimed to pass on these carvings of their historical materials to the next century, and presumably they just carved symbols on stones."

Tu Fu looked intently at the inscription written in Incasian script.

This kind of symbol is quite old, and it has undergone thousands of years of transformation. With his beginner level in the Tabor Library, he can only guess at random.

Each column is preceded by numbers, indicating the major events of the year, and certain heroes appeared in such and such a year, such as which mountain range the Quechua tribe originated from.

In how many years, it was notified by someone to start expanding, and finally worked hard to establish a unified country.

In this way, it really looks like a national ceremony.A brief account down to the last few lines gives a brief account of the events of the years before the country's demise.

"...In 554, the National Astronomical Observatory was officially established, and unknown traces were found on the peripheries of Earth-like planets."

"In April of the same year, the National Astronomy Department received a weak signal from the universe, but because the signal was not stable enough, we were unable to interpret its meaning, and cosmic radio radiation was officially discovered."

"In 555, the signal strength increased again, and we are close to deciphering its meaning."

"In 556, it was a signal of malice, and He noticed this planet again."

"557, watch out for the moon."

……

Tu Fu couldn't understand the series of rather vague records. Not only were the contents kept very short, but they also seemed to be deliberately concealing key words, and only recorded superficial scattered things.

It seems that the moon should be the trigger for the destruction of the Ingaso Empire.

They didn't even record the names of the enemies, and they didn't know whether they didn't know or didn't dare to record them.

"Does it really have something to do with the moon?"

This is the second time Tu Fu has seen this word, and he knows that there are some great things in it.

Presumably it was because the Casso Empire noticed and received his signal that it was later wiped out.

It's more like a silence in a sense.

The bottom of this golden bell is made of stone, and there are many murals on those stones.

There are many kinds, and their specific meanings are not directly pointed out.

On the far left is a plain, where there are many domes (starry sky) comers, they seem to just pass through this planet, but they did not expect that there are already aborigines on it.

In order to compete for the ownership of this piece of land and sea, the two sides actually fought, and the fighting was particularly fierce.

The two sides fought for an unknown amount of time, and finally ended with the exit of the passers-by in the starry sky.

"Isn't this the myth of Genesis?"

Tu Fu stared at the murals, thinking seriously about the fairy tales he had heard when he was looking for Liz.

God created seven gods, from the seven days after the original Creator (God) opened up the world, the six gods that appear today are derived.

After that, the world is still in chaos, and human survival is facing many difficult challenges, such as strange monsters from extremely cold places, monsters crawling out of the cracks in the ground, fierce beasts crawling onto the land from the ocean, and alien species from outside the sky. ...

"I think the strange monsters, alien species, and fierce beasts in the myths of the legendary Genesis probably refer to these extraterrestrial visitors.

So did the Seven Gods exist then?Are they the guests from the stars who came earlier? "

Tu Fu pondered carefully, he didn't know this question.

He just continued to look at the mural behind him, a painting that interested him very much.

In the portrait is a very sacred hall. Although it is very empty inside, there are only seven seats, and someone has already sat down in the center and highest place.

Below is the scene of many figures fighting. This group of people was beaten to a bloody mess, extremely ferocious, fighting like hell's evil spirits.

The only purpose must be to compete for one of the seats.

On the empty seat in the center, there is only a figure with his back, with his hands squared on both sides of the seat, watching the battle below from a high position, unmoved at all.

Underneath, there are blood covered seats stretched out from the sea of ​​corpses, there are also speculators trying to sneak around the seats, or villains with daggers hidden behind their backs when talking with people.

All the portraits of people who can get close to those seven positions, except for the one on the front seat in the void whose face cannot be seen, the rest, whether they are men or women, are extremely ugly, hideous, covered in blood, and have greedy smiling faces.

The losers who piled up behind him were full of mourning and unwillingness, and all kinds of strong negative emotions made people feel uncomfortable even if it was just a mural.

"Seven seats?"

Looking at those seats, Tu Fu suddenly thought that the sculpture of the Seven Gods just now corresponded to this mural.

"Could it be that the selection of the Seven Gods has never been predestined, created by God, but let the 'gods' compete for the position of God on their own.

The god who wins the seat can ascend to the throne of the Seven Gods. "

The moment this crazy idea came out, even if he lost his heart, seeing this scene still terrified him.

There is quite a feeling of collapse of the world view.

If any religious believer knows his guess, it shows that these gods are all "despicable" victors,
They will definitely yell at him for his disrespect.

Even if he is not an aborigine in this world, Tu Fu understands one thing after reading and seeing his life in two continents and several seas in the past few years.

No matter how the dynastic state changes.

But the Seven Gods will always be the Seven Gods, and their status is unshakable.
