Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 227 Broken Town
"Did you find anything?"

Alka looked at the crowd and asked first.

This place is big or small.

But if it is from the direction of depth and height, it is obvious that this place is very large.

But there is only a little place they can explore, the platform in the middle and the auditorium on the opposite bank.

Xia Dati first said: "I checked the surrounding situation, and we are indeed underground, not in the mountains."

Her silver ripples can penetrate the soil, and at the same time, Shadaiti can also tell whether the surroundings are deep soil or stones.

From this she came to such a judgment.

"And after looking around, I really didn't find any exit passages around, or even traces of excavation."

What puzzled them the most was that there was no way out of this place.

"I took a look at those seats. It's not that no one has been there, but there are a lot of traces of being used by people." Jason continued.

When he checked the seats, he found that many of the seats had different signs of wear and tear.

These traces are caused by the accumulated use over time.

For example, the stone bench sitting under the buttocks has already been sunken in some places, and some of the armrests used to put them also have different dents.

It's all wear and tear that accumulates over time.

It shows that this place is not for decoration, but it is indeed often used by people in a certain period of time.

Then it was Simon who spoke. He had these two flying balls in his hands, and seemed to be using them to help him investigate.

"I probed the height and depth with these two objects."

"The height of the cave above our heads is about 16 meters from the platform, and the deep pits around here are a bit deep."

"Because of the control range, I can only see a distance of more than 100 meters below, but this deep pit does not rise straight down, but has irregular stone protrusions.

The longest of these four stone pillars is actually only 4 meters, and the shortest is only 80 meters. They are all built on these irregular stones. "

Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding.

In other words, the deep pit he just saw was not as deep as he imagined, and he might just have just thrown the stone in the deepest direction.

However, being able to build a stone pillar with a maximum length of 80 meters in such an irregular and extremely dangerous pit is already very outrageous.

Really outrageous.

"That is to say, the people who built this place wanted to come here through the way we just did?" Hu Anlu asked uncertainly from the side.

Arka nodded, and kicked the stone platform floor under their feet.

Most of the dust on it had been cleaned off by them during the investigation just now.

A lot of long-term trampling marks can be found on these stones, especially in the circle where they just fell.

There the traces are deepest.

It shows that basically all the people who come here appear in this position, and then go to their respective positions.

Only when a large number of people use it frequently will they leave such obvious marks on such a stone platform.

Then others began to add to their findings.

What you say and what I say almost speaks out all the problems that can be found.

At last everyone turned their heads to Lucilia who was sitting on Arka's shoulder.

Because there are many carved patterns and things like words around here, whether it is the seat next to it or the stone pillar of the statue.

They couldn't read it, but apparently Lucilia should be able to.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Lucilia, who hadn't spoken much, coughed.

"Well, now it's my turn to speak."

As she spoke, she stood on Alka's shoulder and began to talk about the information she had obtained from checking these words and patterns.

"This is the real temple. The ruins we saw outside are just a kind of... passage or slide leading to here."

"And I just read the name of this temple in their language, maybe it's the secret language to enter here, and it can't even be called a secret language."

Lucilia complained a little.

After all, who would write the secret language directly as the name of the building in front of him, so why keep it a secret?

You only need to look up at the name on the temple, read it gently, and you will be sent directly.

"From the text and patterns in these records, I probably know what the specific purpose of this place is.

All kinds of festivals, prayers and sacrifices, even large-scale meetings, funerals of famous people, or speeches, will all be held in this place. "

As she spoke, she pointed to those stone pillars, and the densely carved words on the stone pillars.

"Every activity is recorded there, and from it, I also learned that this temple should originally belong to a certain city-state. This city-state is called Vasterva and believes in a god called the Four-quarter God."

As he spoke, he looked up at the humanoid statue that was more than ten meters high and wrapped in robes.

"These four statues are the symbols of that god."

Afterwards, a few conference ceremonies held in this place were briefly listed.

After listening to Lucilia's narration, everyone knew more about this place.

Then Arka looked at her.

"So... how do we get out?"

That's the main problem now.

"do not know."

?

Everyone looked at Lucila with puzzled eyes.

Lucilia looked at everyone's eyes and spread her hands: "I really don't know. There is no record on this information at all. It's like no one would write how to open the door in an important place."

...That said, although it is reasonable, it is too difficult for people to accept.

"Would you like to stop repeating what we said when we came down?" Alka thought for a while and said.

After all, they came here because of this word.

"I actually tried it, and it didn't work at all."

While speaking, Lucilia read the name of the temple in that unknown language, but there was no response.

Seeing this situation, the expression on Jason's face collapsed.

"It's over, we won't be trapped in this place, will we?"

Arka frowned and thought for a while, then nudged Xia Daiti next to him with his elbow.

"Have you any tools for drawing maps?"

Xia Daiti who turned his head heard this, probably understood what Alka wanted to do, and nodded.

"Yes, I have finished exploring this place, do you want me to paint now?"

Alka nodded: "Well, let's draw it and see if we can find any clues."

And Jason also looked at Lucilia and said, "Do you want to change some words, such as going home and leaving?"

"I've tried everything just now, and it doesn't work."

"I don't know how long the food I brought can last." Hu Anlu said, and began to check some dry food in his pocket ring.

Just when Xia Daiti had just taken out the drawing board.

Julia suddenly raised her head and said, "The concentration of magic power has increased."

These words attracted the attention of everyone present.

Then a circle of energy ripples passed down from above and landed on everyone.

Their bodies were frozen again, and then disappeared in place.

A feeling of being dragged appeared, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and the dark vision regained light again.

This time, they appeared around the ruins outside again in the positions where they had just been scattered.

It's just that there are other people around.

Alka looked at the group of humanoid races that appeared in front of him.

Everyone was ready to fight in an instant and became vigilant.

The unknown race in front of them had gray skin and orange-red eyes.

It was those that Arka saw in the dream last night, the intelligent race on this island.

The leader, in leather armor and with a bow in his hand, looked at them.

"..."

It was an incomprehensible word again, but the tone of the tone seemed to resemble the unknown language that Lucilia just used.

"He said, he didn't expect it to be a group of outsiders." Lucilia translated.

But before she could speak for everyone.

The headed alien man thought that Lucilia was talking to him, but it was in a strange language.

After a little adjustment, he spoke the language used by Alka and others.

That is Homeland Sea, the language used in most regions.

"Do you understand?" Although the tone of voice was a bit awkward and weird, but luckily I could understand it.

Alka nodded and said, "No problem, we can understand."

The person in front of him was quite friendly, and with the information Arka asked in his dream yesterday, he slightly raised his hand, signaling his teammates not to be overly vigilant.

"That's good!"

He seemed to be able to understand the vigilance of Alka and the others.

"Although I don't know who you are, where you are from, and what you are doing on this island, you are welcome." The gray-skinned man in front of him said with a smile, acting very friendly.

"Get to know me, my name is Shiraishi, a patrol captain."

"Alka, the leader of the treasure hunting team."

Hearing Arka's answer, the patrol captain named Shiraishi nodded.

"Someone in your team must be able to speak Sava, otherwise this temple cannot be activated."

The Sava language should be the language that Lucilia spoke just now, Arka nodded.

Hearing Arka's admission, Baishi said: "This is the first time I've seen outsiders speak this language, but you can't speak this language on the island.

Especially around such ruins, it must not be said, because these ruins will always be activated by inexplicable word combinations, and then bring unexpected effects. "

As he spoke, he shook his head, motioning for everyone to look.

I saw a man of the same race as him above the ruins, with magic power wrapped around his hands, and he seemed to be using a spell.

The energy of the mantra culture penetrated into the ruins.

"These ruins will bring about good or bad effects. If you want to close them, you have to reverse the activated spells, if you can close them.

Or use the power of the spell to reverse, but this effect needs to be maintained for a long time. "

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the people on the ruins, and said in their language: "Log, it's ok, the effect of this ruin is teleportation, and the people have returned."

As for why Alka could understand, it was because Lucilia translated gently in his ear.

Then he saw Alka and the others and said: "If you don't mind, you can come to our town. Don't worry, outsiders will often come, and we also have normal trade with some outsiders."

"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to come, remember what I just said, don't talk nonsense near the ruins.

This time you activated only this kind of innocuous ruins. If you activate some ruins that will cause serious disasters, then don't blame us for being rude.

If you can live to that time. "

The main reason is that he didn't expect that there would be outsiders who could speak their language. They never had to worry about these problems before.

After speaking, he waited for Alka and the others to answer.

Alka thought about it, and said without too much hesitation: "Of course, I'm still very interested in this small island. If you don't mind, can you take us to your town?"

"Well, you're so courageous. Have you guys learned about the situation on this island?" Baishi didn't expect Alka to agree so easily.

If it is a stranger, they will generally refuse, unless these strangers know something about the island.

"This is the first time we know about this island, but we still have some confidence in our own strength, and you seem to be quite friendly." Although Alka said so, he actually made an excuse casually.

He can't say that he walked around a lot in your dreams last night, so he still knows about this island.

"Haha, are you a very confident person? All right, keep up, it's still very dangerous around here."

As he spoke, he led his team members to start walking forward, while Alka and the others followed behind.

It was obvious that they could walk in a straight line while advancing, but this man had been taking Alka and the others around in seven directions. There was obviously a forest that could go straight through, so he had to take Alka and the others around from the side hillside.

Seemingly able to feel the doubts of Alka and others, Shiraishi answered them as he walked: "The environment of this island is not safe, there are too many monsters, and various dangerous plants, and there are often spaces Shattered rifts, bring some strange monsters."

"There are still many ruins, because the nonsense is activated, and the activated person is dead, I don't know how to turn it off, and the spell cannot be turned off.

So in many cases we have to go around, otherwise it will be very troublesome. "

The people following him nodded.

It seems that the island is really not safe.

Alka also finally understood why in the dream he had seen many children who wanted to go out but were afraid to go out.

Every time I ask, the answer I get is that once I sneak out, I will definitely be severely beaten by my parents.

It seems that this is the reason.

After all, children will definitely gather in places like the ruins, and the language used to open the ruins is their common language, so they may somehow open the ruins at some point.

These are lessons.

While walking, you can still see the members of the patrol team on both sides taking out some kind of pollen and spreading around.

As a result, their actions along the way, although they circled around, were still fast, and there were no monsters to stop them.

It seems that it should be the cause of the pollen.

Soon they saw a wooden sentry tower, and Baishi greeted the people on it before moving on.

Passing by one watchtower after another, I finally saw the gathering place of this island in the distance.

The city wall made of stones and wood, although it looks a bit crude, seems to be quite strong.

There are people dressed similarly to these team members patrolling above.

The side of the town can be seen, and it seems that there are some areas used for planting.

Some people, also of gray complexion, worked on it.

Since the height of the outer wooden wall reached the level of five or six meters, everyone could not see the situation inside from the outside.

And this place can already see the sea not far away, which means that this place should be built by the sea.

Maybe this place is also closer to some places that are more suitable for making ports.

Alka and the others made half a circle yesterday, but they didn't come here, so they didn't find it.

At this time, Baishi said: "This is the place where we have lived for generations, Broken Town, judging from the direction you came from, it should be in the bay over there, right?
If you are lucky enough to come back to this island after you leave, you can go there, there is a small port we built.

Of course, if you can bring some supplies we need, then we will welcome you even more. Bai Shi turned his head and said with a smile.

It has to be said that he seems to like chatting with outsiders, and he has been communicating with Alka and the others in a language that is not easy to speak along the way.

Listening to his words, Alka nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, if I come again next time."

But what does it mean to be lucky?
