"strangeness!"
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed when he saw this scene.
"Using stone bricks to build houses is not the style of Insman and Offal... Moreover, these stone houses are also a little too small..."
Blackbeard Jiejie smiled strangely: "Unless their original owners were all a group of dwarfs!... I probably guessed something."
"Well, I also thought about it. These should be the remains of a certain prehistoric civilization. They were later discovered by these natives and made full use of them... As for which civilization it was..."
Fang Yuan touched his chin: "They are short in stature but very creative. Could it be that they are the ancestors of dwarves..."
If you think about it this way, the Solo Pirates chose this place to hide their final treasure, maybe because even the Sun was just a gift they received from this ruins.
"Dwarves like to live in caves. Places rich in ores are better, definitely not here... Moreover, those doors and windows are too narrow for the stout dwarves... So, it must be goblins!"
Blackbeard was confident.
"Goblin?!"
Before Fang Yuan could speak, Bill beside him couldn't help himself: "Those thin, dirty, ignorant green-skinned dwarves?"
The age of geographical discovery was also the beginning of racial discovery.
At least, these well-informed pirates have long known that humans are not the only race in the world. Elves, dwarves... are by no means rare.
The beauty and agility of the elves, the stoutness and strength of the dwarves, and other foreign races all have their own skills, or advantages.
But goblins... almost all pirates have a preconceived concept in their hearts, that is, they are garbage!
He is short and thin, backward and ignorant, and has not even developed the language. He is also very careless about cleanliness, and there is always a stench lingering on his body.
According to common sense, an ordinary dwarf or human can definitely beat ten of these guys.
According to one of the harshest pirates, goblins are nothing but waste. Even their flesh is sour, smelly, and slightly toxic.
If it weren't for its extremely strong fecundity and extremely short growth cycle, this race might have become extinct long ago.
"Yes, it's the goblin!"
Blackbeard said seriously: "Don't think that those green-skinned ones are synonymous with ignorance. In fact, they have also been brilliant. The creativity and hands-on ability of the ancient goblins are completely beyond your imagination. It is said that their research on energy has reached the level of matter." At the most basic level, god-like power can be discovered from the tiniest particles... The Goblin Empire back then was the undisputed king of the world. For example... At this time, Insman and our steam research were just from the goblins. It was just plagiarized from the documents obtained by the ruins, and it was even a very rudimentary part... "
Captain Blackbeard revealed a top secret.
"So, why did such a glorious race end up in this state?"
Fang Yuan, on behalf of the other crew members, asked their common doubts.
"Of course it's because of wisdom. They rise because of wisdom, and they also decline because of wisdom..." Blackbeard sighed: "I once found a goblin epic, and there was a vague description in it. I guess it is what the goblins believe in. The gods deprived them of their wisdom!”
"Um?"
Fang Yuan became even more curious. How idiotic and ignorant a god must be to deprive his followers of their IQ
Faith comes from wisdom. Once this is lost, the faith of ordinary people is no different from that of cats and dogs.
"This... how do I know? Maybe because he is an evil god, he acts very chaotically..."
Blackbeard said: "After all... the name of that god is the Lord of Madness! Of course, after doing this, he seemed to be severely damaged immediately and disappeared. It is said that he has died..."
"This is probably a branch of the goblins, right?"
Fang Yuan sighed a little: "Such a glorious empire and wise ancestors. If they see their current descendants, I wonder if they will be angry to death... Prepare to attack!"
Although there was a native tribe with thousands of people on the opposite side, these pirates did not take it seriously at all.
At this time, following Fang Yuan's order, a large number of pirates howled and rushed out of the woods.
"Hululu!"
Among the tribe, a leader with three wooden arrows on his lips immediately stood up, waved a huge banana leaf in his hand, and ordered the natives to fight back.
Bang bang!
As early as hundreds of meters away, the pirates were grinning and raising their muskets.
In the white mist, a plume of lead swept over, stirring up a large cloud of blood mist.
A row of indigenous warriors fell, and the pirates roared and rushed into the tribe, wielding sailor knives and iron hooks.
The natives who dared to resist were immediately eliminated, and they began to collect wealth very simply.
Thick nuggets of gold ore, as well as some pearls and gems, were found one by one and piled on the small square in the center of the ruins. It didn't take long for it to resemble a small mountain.
"The wealth here is abnormally large. If there isn't a gold mine nearby, then these natives have dug up a pirate's treasure..."
Fang Yuan and Blackbeard stepped forward side by side and arrived at the core of the ruins.
In front of an ordinary stone house, a large amount of plasma was so thick that it seemed to have formed a small river.
Hoarse and gloomy sounds, with mysterious spells, kept coming from the stone house.
"Hiss!"
"Squeak!"
"Quack!"
…
Along with the spell, strange poisonous insects crawled out of the blood river.
There are poisonous dart frogs the size of millstones, poisonous spiders with each compound eye as big as a fist, and giant pythons as thick as buckets.
"wizard?"
Fang Yuan nodded with interest, knowing that this was where the witch doctor of this native tribe was located.
"Whoever defeats the opponent, I will reward him to become a transcendent!"
Without saying much at this time, he just threw out a few bottles of antidote and issued a reward. Immediately, red-eyed pirates rushed up to him with howls and screams.
As a big pirate, it is a joke that he still does everything by himself.
Fang Yuan found a rock as a bench and sat down, waiting quietly.
Not long after, three or four of the pirates who rushed in were killed, and the rest came out with an old native man with a happy look on their faces to report: "The witch doctor has been captured."
"Very good, I will imprison all the senior members of their tribe separately and interrogate them to find out the information I want."
Fang Yuan stood up and was more interested in these ruins than the natives.
A moment later, while he was looking at the unique patterns on the stone wall with his hands behind his back, Bill quickly came over with a joyful expression on his face: "I asked, although this tribe has never seen the Solo pirates, but the pirates in their tribe have People can often pick up some gold nuggets in a river, and even gold coins and diamonds, but because they cannot be used, they use them as decorations!"
"Ask them to take us to the river. If we don't obey, we will be killed immediately!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand, feeling even more confused.
This is just a desert island, and even in ancient times, the terrain did not change drastically.
So, what is the reason that makes the Goblin Empire build a ruins here at all costs
"Although these buildings are exquisite enough, in my opinion, they look like greenhouses where workers live... So, are the real secrets still hidden in Alcatraz?"
With a trace of doubt, Fang Yuan and other pirates escorted several fat-headed native nobles to a river.
Under the sun, the gurgling river water flashed with a few golden spots.
"Boss!"
Bill immediately went into the water, and not long after, he touched a gold coin.
"This is the big gold coin of Sissel, with the image of King Sukal III of Sissel printed on it!"
Fang Yuan nodded: "Go up along the river!"
"oh oh!"
The pirates immediately howled with excitement.
Everyone traced the source and immediately came to a black cave.
A large amount of river water rushed out of it, with a little bit of strange color, which was nugget gold, gold coins, and gems.
"Walk!"
Fang Yuan looked at the cave and was a little confused. Such a regular ellipse did not look like it was formed naturally.
At this time, there were indeed many marine warlocks under his command.
Immediately, several loyal and capable pirates followed immediately.
The water turned directly into hard earth under their feet, and they began to walk on the water without even getting the boots on their feet wet.
"Boss... something doesn't seem right here!"
After getting deeper, Bill lit the torch and his voice changed somewhat.
Because the surrounding walls are becoming smoother and smoother, with a metallic color, they must have been modified.
"According to our journey, we should be in the middle of the mountain at this time... It seems that the two peaks of this Alcatraz Island should have been hollowed out and transformed into some kind of factory? The reason why it was built here is to hide it, and secondly Secondly, is it to take advantage of... the power of the soil?"
The power of geothermal energy has great benefits for casting metals, and it is also very convenient.
If the entire mountain peak was regarded as a factory, then the place where they came in before was undoubtedly the sewage outlet.
At this time, the further you go in, the emptier the space becomes.
Fang Yuan and his party also left the water and walked onto land.
The sailor boots made a crisp sound when they made contact with the hard ground.
Didi!
Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed.
Click! Click!
The sound of gears biting sounded.
Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, a dozen tall figures slowly emerged from the darkness.
The light of the torches flickered, reflected on them, and was reflected one after another. With a metallic luster, they turned out to be more than a dozen metal statues.
Their shapes are very strange, and they all look like various beasts. Among them, the three-headed ones are the most massive, with pointed noses and ears, and long and narrow hands and feet. They are clearly enlarged versions of goblins!
"The ancient goblin metal guard!"
When Blackbeard saw this, a smile appeared on his face: "Congratulations... Roach, you have found an ancient goblin research relic!"
