The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 814 Lost Artifact
Compared with monks, the power of magic is still very low.

This 'low' mainly refers to the lack of high-end spells and real top bosses.

Not to mention Celie and the others who are naturally powerful creatures, the strongest mortal mages are not worth mentioning in Eastern China.

Like Redicia, they are already very powerful spellcasters. It is not ruled out that there are stronger people than them, but no matter how big they are, they are only at the fourth or fifth rank of human rank. In the eyes of the monks, they belong to those who have just escaped poverty. .

And even against monks of the same level, they are not opponents at all, the reason is very simple, they do not have high-end spells.

This situation will change in the future, after all, the birth of the Son of Meteor will greatly speed up the process.

But low is low, and there are other solutions. Compared with monks, the biggest advantage of mages is that they are closer to ordinary people.

It is another matter to have a state machine back up a magic experiment that cannot be supported by an individual's ability.

As the saying goes, there are many people with great strength, and some spells that cannot be cast by themselves, using the method of joint spell casting to reduce the consumption and difficulty, this is not a big news, the spell called strategic magic has been a big killer for a long time, but it needs to be raised Too many mages is a major test of national strength.

The same is true for the Lost Lands, and their magic has little to do with the ancient elves.

There are no minerals needed by the ancient elves here, and it is more difficult to travel here than other planes. They have not established colonies here.

Just like Eastern China, without the interference of the ancient elves, people still figured out how to cultivate, the core is how to use the magic power (spiritual energy) traveling in the air.

The Lost Land is self-taught, but precisely because there are no ancient elves, they have nothing to learn from, and their development is relatively slow, and they often create masterpieces.

And the result of God's work.

Now it is in front of Lin Tianci.

It can be seen that this temple seems to have been burned by flames, and many traces can still be seen from the broken walls, and the main body of the building is half destroyed.

A building made of pure stones has exaggerated sturdiness, even if it is soaked in water for thousands of years, it is unlikely to cause too much damage to the main body.

But it's half-destroyed now, more like it was blasted by some kind of shock wave.

By the way, could it be that he was studying the magic version of the nuclear bomb and it exploded?

There was no way to know the truth. Lin Tianci walked towards Petra after listening to Sally's science popularization. They had finished rubbing and were calling the workers to move the stone slabs lightly.

Sai Li didn't hang up either, maybe she also wanted to see what was in the temple.

"The stone slab is too tightly attached to the wall, and it is easy to collapse if it is moved away with brute force."

West, as a professional, doesn't quite agree with Petra's ideas.

"But this stone slab is too important, we must dig it out as well as possible."

"I know, so I proposed to divide it into small pieces. You can see that there are already many cracks that run through the entire slab. It is now like building blocks that are put together. We only need to take them out piece by piece, not one by one. The whole thing."

"This... well, you should be as careful as possible."

The stone slab is located at the gate, and above it is the entrance of the temple, with dozens of tons of stones pressed down. This really needs to be careful, not only for the slate, but also for the workers who are working.

West called a few people, gave some serious instructions, and then pulled Petra and Lin Tianci back to the station.

These people are professional, their movements are fast and accurate, they carefully take out the fragments of the stone slabs, and put them back together on the canvas in the distance.

The process lasted almost 10 minutes, with disturbing vibrations as workers dismantled the slab into a donut-shaped cavity.

Lin Tianci saw that the stones on the upper floor of the temple shook like unsteady building blocks.

As professional excavators of cultural relics, these people of course also discovered the danger, and ran quickly one by one, and retreated to a safe area before the temple completely collapsed.

"Sure enough, as I guessed, the structure on the slab is too unstable."

The vibration has not stopped, and Petra is very anxious against the smoke and dust:
"Hopefully the remaining slabs are not damaged."

When the smoke gradually dissipated, the roof of the original temple had already fallen to the ground, but this time it was not a ruined wall, but a pile of rubble.

However, the collapse of this thing is not without benefits. Everyone saw a triangular opening between the ruins, which should be the second half of the temple, and that part is still intact.

Instructing his workers to remove the gravel and dig out the remaining stone slabs, West followed Petra who was walking quickly towards the second half of the temple.

"I haven't seen such a building structure, it's like the front half is completely separated from the back half."

"Of course you haven't seen it. This kind of temple has been extinct 3000 years ago. Have you seen the triangular door opening? It is a symbol. If they worshiped the gods, the door opening would be square. The triangle represents It is the mountain god."

Naturally, Lin Tianci still followed Petra, and he was not very interested in things like archaeology.

The three walked around the ruins, and saw a long stone platform behind, which was cut out of a whole piece of granite.

"This is an altar. More than 3000 years ago, living people were often sacrificed here, and the sacrifices were the most devout priests."

Petra casually explained, and said:

"That's right, this is definitely one of the most important temples in the empire at that time. The altar is facing the back half of the temple, which is known as the residence of the gods. Come on, let's go in and have a look."

This girl is really reckless, didn't you see that the first half of the temple just collapsed?How dare you run inside.

The second half of the temple is much stronger than the first half, and there is no change in shape. It is the most well-preserved part, so there is probably no need to worry about it collapsing suddenly.

The triangular door opening was very high and large, even if three people walked in side by side, it would not be crowded.

Then there was a faint light at the door, and there seemed to be a lot of things inside, but they couldn't see clearly.

"I need a little light, gentlemen, find me a torch."

Brother Lin stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, two white balls of light emerged beside him, and walked upstream along the side of the wall.

Petra wanted to say thank you, but the scene illuminated by the dancing lights made her swallow the words that came to her lips.

This is a hall with an area of ​​about 100-150 square meters. You can see a triangular platform directly in front of it, which is slightly higher than half an inch from the ground. There is also a triangular high platform on the platform. The length of the side is about half a meter. , the height is almost to the waist of a normal person.

Around the hall are rows of stone pillars supporting a roof about ten meters high. All the stone pillars you can see are in the shape of a triangle.

Directly in front, that is, on the wall facing the door, there is a triangular pattern engraved on the whole, which is full of intricate lines, and there is an icon like an eye in the center. The tip of the triangle is changed to a carving technique, and the embossed method is used to make that part stand out.

"We won the jackpot! Haha, we won the jackpot!"

Petra seemed to have lost her mind, and the expression on her face brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She dashed up to the triangular-shaped platform, and then lay down on it completely disregarding her image, looking at the engraved words like ghostly symbols inch by inch.

West shrugged to Brother Lin:

"The last time I saw her like this was three years ago. At that time, we were chased by the armies of seven countries. I hope there will be nothing more this time."

Are you sure you're not setting a flag?
As far as going to the ruins, Lin Tianci has been to a lot, and they are all the ruins of the ancient elves, which are much older than the current ones in terms of age.

For him, going to the ruins is not archaeology, but treasure hunting.

But this time, the situation is reversed.

Keeping the posture of kneeling on the ground like this, Petra held up the magnifying glass, and a little bit dazedly rubbed near the central high platform, which was also engraved with various words and symbols.

"I've been looking for it my whole life! This time we finally found it!"

West also followed, and complained loudly when he heard the words:

"You are only 20 years old!"

It seems that Petra is indeed about the same age as Lin Tianci. After all, she is a half-dragon, not a real dragon. She doesn't live long like a dragon, and doesn't grow slowly like a dragon.

If it was a real dragon, Petra might still be playing with mud in front of her house now.

Brother Lin also followed, and heard Petra chanting the words on the high platform.

"The tears of God, the flesh and blood of God and the wrath of God will open the door to the Eye of Snow Mountain..."

Then she jumped up:
"That's right, the Eye of the Snow Mountain, a major belief in the old empire. This is the temple of the capital of the empire. Of course, the Eye of the Snow Mountain will be worshiped!"

Brother Lin said strangely:

"What is the Eye of the Snow Mountain?"

"It's a man-made imaginary god, essentially a big snow mountain. During the old empire, they would worship three gods, the god of heaven representing the sky, the mother god of the earth, and the eye of the snow mountain representing the mountains. In their opinion The Eye of the Snow Mountain is the child of the Heavenly God and the Mother Goddess, and is the only god remaining in the mortal world, so there are the most temples worshiping it, but!"

Just asking casually, Petra babbled a lot, her eyes were still shining:

"However, all the temples related to the Eye of the Snow Mountain in the old empire did not have altars. This is the only place for worship in the entire continent of Fodora, and this is the most important thing."

West was no longer surprised, and interrupted:

"Aside from academic value, is there anything else? Like treasure or something."

"Of course there is."

She has a triangular high platform pointing and reaching out:
"It says 'will open the door to the Eye of the Snow Mountain'. Since the Eye of the Snow Mountain is a god they worship, why is there such a wording? It means that it does not mean it literally."

Petra straightened her clothes and said:
"Gentlemen, we have found a clue to a lost artifact."

With this style of painting, Raiders of the Lost Ark suddenly appeared...
