Chapter 104: The Disappearing Race(1/2)
The search results of Sgots's people were the same as the situation here. There were such buildings between the two walls, but no one in any of them had them. The Knight of Jibeyal found the gate of the inner city, but in the other direction. The four sides of the city happened to be four directions, southeast, west and north, which was very accurate. The gates of the outer wall were one in the east and west directions, while the inner city was in the north and south directions.
We quickly arrived at the city gate facing north, and Ling was the first to react. "Master, we are no longer in the southern hemisphere. The teleportation array sends us near the Aether."
Ling's words made Jibeyal look at her in surprise. "How do you know we are near the equator?"
"I not only know that we are late, but we are also in the north of the equator, which should be the northern hemisphere."
I also asked Ling curiously: "How do you judge that we are in the northern hemisphere?"
Ling leaned against my ear and explained to me: "The game information is very clear. Although there are four seasons in the game, it is different from reality. The four seasons in the game are not caused by the position of the sun. The sun here always runs above the equator, which means that the sunlight hits directly at the equator. If this is the southern hemisphere, the sun should shine diagonally on the city wall in the north of the city, but we are in the north now. Look, there is a shadow on the city wall. The shadow is projected to the north, which means that the sun is in the south of us. If this is the southern hemisphere, how could the sun go to the south of us? But looking at the shadow is not very obvious, it is obviously very close to the equator, and it is probably in the low-latitude area near 15 degrees north latitude. And I can be sure that we are still in the Americas, because Beijing time is just midnight now, but it is noon here."
Ling has a real body. She knows what's happening outside the game, but this cannot be known to Jibeyal and the others. So Ling only explained it to me alone. After listening to it, I said to Jibeyal and the others: "My magic pet has some special abilities. The current calculation shows that we are in the Americas, but it seems to be in the Central and American regions in the north of the equator."
"So the sea is not too far from us?" Adepana asked.
"I think we should be on a large island or a small continent, and there are probably seas around us, but now I am more concerned about what is in this city."
St. Marfiana immediately shouted: "First explain that the treasures should be divided equally by the number of people."
Ye Zhizi was about to refute me and I nodded immediately. "Okay. I have 8,000 generals from the Imperial Guards, plus 9 human-shaped magic pets, and I and Ye Zhizi have a total of 8,032 people. You are 5 people in total. We will just count them by number of people." I am a landlord with fur left over from the geese. If you want to dig something out from me, you have to be a god-level figure to consider.
Santa Marfiana immediately jumped up: "The demon pet doesn't count. It's only the player."
"I don't agree." I refused very simply.
“We have many people voting.”
“We have many people in the fight.”
"Now we need to talk about human rights."
I stretched out a fist: "Now talk about this."
"You bully people."
"I'll bully you, what can you do to me?" Tsk, the little princess came to me and let you know that dreams are beautiful and reality is cruel.
Ye Zhizi quickly interrupted, "In this way, we separate. Aren't there any doors in the north and south? We go our separate ways. After we get the drawings and book items, we will copy them and then whoever gets the original will belong to them. If the landlord doesn't get it, the person who gets the items first will be counted as whoever takes them."
Jibeyal was not embarrassed to hug us. He had to nod. "That's it."
Actually, I think this woman is pretty good, at least she has leadership skills and is quite polite to people. "Don't worry, Jibeyar, this city looks like a magical science and technology city, and you won't use too much. If you don't involve magic research, we will leave some for you. Is this gate? I'll leave it to you. My manpower is stronger, let's go there."
After Jibeyal nodded, I immediately asked my own people to transfer. The brigade of cavalry quickly jumped onto the mount and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Jibeyal sighed behind him: "I wish we had such an army."
Ye Zhizi and I soon arrived at the opposite city gate. The sun was so bright here, but the temperature was a little higher. The city gate was not very big, about 5 meters high and about 5 meters wide. The material of the gate was made of unknown metal, with a hardness higher than steel. It was very laborious to cut on it forever, but it was meaningless to me. I didn't even want to move the two door-opening mechanisms beside the gate. When I was studying that thing, I had already smashed the door open.
The metal gate surrendered after only 5 minutes of our violent cracking. The last impact of the steel claw completely shattered the cracked door.
"It's finally opened." Ye Zhizi was the first to flash into the gate, but he flashed out quickly again, and three white lights hit the place where he was just standing at the same time. "Huh! Fortunately, it flashed quickly."
I knocked a stone from the house next to me and threw it into the inner city. Three beams of light accurately smashed the stone that was still flying in the air. "Good guy, triple defense facilities."
"What should I do now?" Ye Zhizi looked at me anxiously.
"You don't have to worry about this. Some things outside were inconvenient for them to see, now... Ye Yue."
"Look at me." Ye Yue walked directly to the door and stretched her head inside, then looked out. "Do it."
"Is this over?" Ye Zhizi was a little unbelievable.
"What else do you want?" Ye Yue asked Ye Zhizi. "Do you still have to jump into the great master?"
Ye Zhizi thought about it but didn't say anything, but went straight to see the situation. There were several defense facilities on the inner city gate, but they had lost their function at this time. The reason was very simple. The stones could not refract light like crystals. Ye Yue's petrification ability increased as the distance and the range expanded, and the effect would decrease. However, if only petrification targets within a small range would be no such problem. Ye Yue came in just now and petrified the crystals on the defense tower. The pillars below felt someone approaching and immediately transmitted energy upwards, but the crystals that had turned into stone not only failed to emit energy, but were destroyed by energy. Now there were no crystal stone pillars everywhere here, and the energy balls were still passing upwards again and again in vain. The crystals on the top were no longer there, and the energy balls flew directly into the sky, and the pillars kept firing light balls into the sky like magic bullets.
"Is that right?" I only felt that the facilities here were equipped with external defense equipment.
The defenses between the two walls outside are too backward. How could people living in that kind of house build such a powerful defense system? Obviously, those houses are not things used by city builders. Now, after opening the inner city, it is obvious that the style matches the style.
The architectural style of the inner city is completely different from that of the outer city. The buildings here are so weird. All buildings use a large number of two main materials, one of which looks like a certain crystal, and the other is even more strange.
"Does the things here look like human buildings?" After seeing these buildings, Ye Zhizi felt something was wrong.
Most human buildings are based on straight lines. The main body of the building is straight, and there may be some arc-shaped structures for decoration on the periphery of the building. The buildings here just turned upside down. Most of the houses are like a football half buried underground. The difference is that some are large and small, some are short and thick, and some are slender. Even the main doors and windows of the buildings are oval. Some more complex buildings look like they are connected to each other by a bunch of ellipsoids of different sizes and proportions.
Here, in addition to ellipses, there is another structure that often appears in the ground, which is cone. Some are slender, some are short and thick, and some have a certain degree of curvature. These cones mainly appear on the periphery of the building, and are mostly some decoration or special functions. Although straight lines are not missing here, they rarely appear. So this should not be a human building.
All the buildings here are equipped with a very rare crystal. The color of this crystal can be basically considered light blue, and there is a little bit of vague green. Unlike ordinary crystals, these crystals are not very transparent and even look a little turbid. All the buildings here have such crystals. It's just a matter of quantity. Some buildings have hundreds of crystals, while others only have a few. The shapes of the crystals are mainly regular diamonds, ovals and round, and the sizes are also different. Some large buildings are equipped with crystals about the same size as basketball courts, while others are not as big as soybeans.
In addition to this crystal, most of the main materials of buildings are unknown substances. It seems that they have been looted in the city. Many buildings have broken scars, and some buildings have even collapsed, so fragments are easy to find. The colors of the surface of the building are mostly yellow and blue, and some are some brown and silver-gray. But from the wreckage, those are all the colors of surface paint. The real building material is an iron gray with a metallic luster.
The specific gravity of this substance is very small, and the weight is not as good as that of dry wood under the same volume. There is no need to experiment with hardness. The gate on the city wall is made of this material. Eternal has proved that its solidity is completely beyond steel materials. I summoned Xiaofeng to help heat it, but the final result was quite unexpected. The thing still had no reaction at a high temperature of 3,000 degrees. Finally, the temperature rose to 5,000 degrees and it started to turn red until the temperature rose to 8,000 degrees.
"Good guy, this thing can be used as a firebrick." Ye Zhizi said, looking at the melting fragments.
Ling looked around for a long time and said, "This seems to be a special ceramic."
"Ceramic?" Ye Zhizi picked up another piece and looked at it without much belief.
I also took the block and looked at it. There were obvious burrs at the break of this thing. After dilating it with the star pupil, you can see some fiber-like structures. There are also metal components, so no matter how many things you have, you can't see them. You probably need to go back and test it out before you can find out. "This is not only a simple ceramic, but also some things are stuck inside. It is obviously a very high-tech material."
Night Zi threw away the fragments and looked around and said, "It's hard to believe that there is such an advanced city in such a place, and it's still a semi-aborted state."
Ling said: "It's really strange. The buildings here have been destroyed, and there have been obvious battles. But why are these defense systems all right?"
"Master." A Tyrannosaurus Knight stood at the door of a building and shouted to us.
"What's the matter?" I asked while walking there.
“There are some corpses here.”
I quickly accelerated and ran over. The house was quite complete. However, the door had fallen down and was broken into several sections. There were some strange-shaped equipment in the room, probably furniture, but it was very different from human furniture. The corpses on the ground were actually skeletons and the flesh had long been gone.
This skeleton should not be human, but it looks very similar to a human, with limbs and heads. The skeleton is about 2.7 meters long, and the legs occupy more than half of the body's length. It is obvious that this creature walks upright. It has the same hip joint as humans, and the thigh bones and calves bones are similar to humans. Different places are concentrated in the lower part of the calves. The calves of this thing are connected to a joint exactly the same as the calves, which means that his leg has three joints, and the bottom section can be bent forward.
The bones of this creature's feet are very short, and his feet are probably not big, and his toes are different from those of humans. The five toes of humans are forward, but he has three forward and two backward. However, like humans, the toes of this creature are relatively short, and should only maintain balance.
The skeleton part above the hip joint below the head is almost no different from that of humans. It has the same spine, the same sternum cavity, the same number of joints, and even the sternum stem is exactly the same as that of humans. His arm bones are also the same as humans, and they are relatively slender. Perhaps because he is very tall. His palms are also three-pointed forward and two-pointed backward, just as his feet, but their fingers are thinner than their toes.
The skull part is quite different from humans. Judging from the bones, this creature's face is very long. You can imagine the face of a big anteater. It's almost like that. This guy's mouth is quite distinctive. He has no jaw. His skull is a whole, and there is a round hole in his mouth. If this creature didn't eat sweet things with his tongue like an anteater, it would have to be the type of food sucking, because his mouth is so small that it can't be opened and he can't bite anything at all.
There is an ellipsoidal skeleton cavity behind the front face of his strong tube that is disproportionate to the front. According to the human structure, this position should be the brain. There is a semicircular, huge skeleton part like a mushroom lid on the ellipsoidal skeleton cavity. Like this big fan, the middle of the ellipsoidal skeleton cavity is also mid-air, and there should be some brain tissue inside. Based on these cavity, the brain capacity of this thing is at least 6 times that of humans.
Ling and I looked at each other after seeing this bone. We both knew what each other was thinking. This thing was simply an alien. And they also had such powerful magic technology, which was a magical race. When Ling and I both estimated that this was an alien, Ye Yue suddenly spoke. "I didn't expect that the last capital of the Seratis tribe was here."
Ling and I turned around and looked at Yeyue almost as if we were electrocuted. "Do you know this race?"
Ye Yue nodded: "It is not only our Yan clan that is the only one of the gods."
"Wait, wait. Do you think of the Flame Clan?"
Ye Yue nodded: "The race to which Nuwa belongs is called the Yan clan. Our snake human clan, snake demon clan and other messy branches are actually descendants of Nuwa. We are all Yan clan, but so many branches were divided later. Pangu's great god, that is, the ancestor of humans. He belonged to the Huang clan. After these two tribes joined forces, they opened up the land of China and reproduced. Many members of the Chinese Heavenly Court were from the Huang clan. As for humans, they were a new race condensed with the power of each tribe after discussing with a superior god. People in the land of China were protected by Nuwa more. They worship Nuwa and Pangu as their ancestors, so they became descendants of Yan and Huang. However, the legend became more and more chaotic, and now few people in the world know the real history."
"Then what's going on with this clan?"
"It's the Selatis clan."
"Yes, what's going on with this Seratis tribe?"
"This is the territory of the God of Energy in America. This God of Energy once said that as long as you find the law, magic does not necessarily require the support of the soul."
Ye Zhizi interrupted, "Why do I listen to the theory of "Like Kaha?"
"Who is Jiaha?" Ye Yue didn't know Jiaha.
I explained: "Jiaha is the mentor of Lund, the designer of our guild. The mobile puppets of our guild were created by imitating the magic guards left by Jiaha in the Swiss Temple. Lund is a researcher I found. He has now joined our guild and is helping us study the magic theory and the manipulation technology of mechanical puppets. According to Lund, his guild, Jiaha, originally proposed that magic does not necessarily require a soul-free body to be used, and magic can be used as a mechanical machine without souls. However, this theory touched the fundamental doctrine of the Temple of Darkness and the Temple of Light, so it was blocked and had to hide, and life and death are still unknown."
Ye Yue sighed: "The theory of the two is almost the same, but the God of Energy is the superior god, so no one has the ability to chase him. The God of Energy later cultivated some descendants, and these descendants were the Seratisi clan. Because the God of Energy likes to study some strange theories, the Seratisi clan has also inherited the same hobby. They kept researching, and they came up with many profound theories."
"Why is this happening?" Ye Zhizi asked, pointing to the bones on the ground.
"The situation is the same as that of the jaha you said. Neither the Temple of Light nor the Temple of Darkness in Europe can tolerate such a theory, because if there is no living object, there will be problems with the basic doctrines of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness, and all the theological theory will be overturned. The Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness cannot tolerate such a heretic existence, so it was knocked off."
"A such a strong race is so easy to get caught?"
Ye Yue said naturally: "The characteristic of the Seratisi tribe is that they like to study, and they don't care about other things. When the Temple of Light came to attack them, their technology could basically not be used directly in the war area. Therefore, they could not stop the attack at all. Moreover, the Seratisi tribe has a fatal weakness, that is, they have low reproductive ability like the dragon. Almost one-tenth of the entire race can reproduce offspring, and the survival rate after the descendants is also terrible. In short, this tribe is small, and the Temple of Light will destroy this tribe in one attack. The Temple of Darkness has no chance to take action."
Night Zi asked curiously: "The Temple of Darkness and Temple of Light also have a lot of magical equipment? Why can't others make it?"
I replied in place of Ye Yue: "The magic of magic equipment is prepared in advance. For example, the magic crystal cannon. There is an energy-gathering array deep in the cannon barrel. When necessary, gather the magic power in the magic crystal and fire it out. This is the magic crystal cannon. However, the magic crystal cannon will only gather magic power and launch magic energy. It is not that it uses magic power itself but is just a man-triggered magic array to complete the pre-arranged functions. But the content of this race and Jiaha's research is different. To put it bluntly, the magic motive is a machine with low-level intelligence, which is essentially different from the magic equipment that completes things according to the settings. If you think about it yourself, you will find that there is no item in the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness that can work on your own without prior control. Even if there is one, it must be a equipment injected with souls."
Ye Zhizi nodded: "But the descendants of the God of Energy are destroyed. Isn't the God of Energy angry?"
"What's the use of being angry?" Ye Yue replied: "After the founding of the race, the Gods can no longer protect their children. This was restricted by the Gods' agreement in the past. The Chinese Heavenly Court and the Western Temple are not the Gods, they are all descendants of these Gods. Not included in this agreement. Therefore, the Heavenly Court can help people who believe in it, and the temple can also help people who believe in it, but the Gods cannot do it. Have you ever seen Nuwa appear to help when you were hurt before? The Titan giants of the Earth God's children, the Titan giants were almost exterminated by the Temple. Have you ever seen the Earth God help?"
I asked Ye Yue, "Then have all the Seratis tribes been destroyed by saying that?"
"I heard that it was completely destroyed, but the Temple of Light is different from the Temple of Darkness. If the Temple of Darkness is destroyed, everyone would like to know that it was them. If the Temple of Light does a good thing, it will try its best to promote such a gray incident. If it can't be covered, it will be said that it is for the purpose of justice."
Ye Zhizi couldn't help laughing beside him. Ye Yue asked him curiously what he laughed at. Ye Zhizi said: "The Temple of Darkness is like a terrorist. He bombed a building and then tried his best to promote it. Anyway, as long as it is a bad thing, he would take it on himself. The Temple of Light is like the United States, calling justice all day long, and if he does something just, he immediately yells around the world, for fear that no one will know. If he does bad things, he will silence him first. If he really can't do it, he will say how the beheaded side endangers world peace. Destroying them is a contribution to the world. In fact, they themselves are the most serious harm to peace."
"You said this a bit like it. By the way, Ye Yue. In addition to knowing that this clan likes to study, do you also know other news about this clan? For example, how can you turn off those defense systems?"
Ye Yue shook her head: "I just heard of it, but I haven't really seen it. Besides, the use of magic equipment is confidential, so how can outsiders know about it?"
I walked out of the room and looked at the streets in the city. "Sgoth, you immediately take the Tyrannosaurus Knights to search around the city. If you find something that might be useful, please notify me. The area with a defense tower under the city wall should not be approached. By the way, the particularly high pillars in the center of the city are also defensive weapons, and they are very powerful, but I don't know if they will attack the ground. You can be careful. If it launches an attack, run immediately."
"I understand." Sgott immediately turned around and directed the Tyrannosaurus Knight to search.
The defense settings in the city are not very complete, some places have them, and some places don’t, but they are not regular anyway. The air-to-air weapons that started attacking us outside the city were also the same as those of the defense crystal pillars, but they were particularly large.
I took Yeyue and the others to approach the nearest air defense tower. This thing is so big, it should be of use to dig it back and study it. We were on guard and slowly approaching, but the thing didn't react at all. Finally, we successfully reached directly below it, but it was still completely unmoved.
"Hehe. This seems to only react to those flying in the air." Ye Zhizi patted Zhuzi and said.
To be continued...
