The style of godslayers has always been distinctive—maybe this has something to do with their paranoia of wanting to be "gods", which makes them try to transcend the mundane in every detail, whether it is in the Complicated runes and murals engraved on the board, or useless sculptures and shrines placed in the corridors of the spacecraft, these are things that are not often seen in other civilizations.
And their rune and relief styles themselves are hard to imitate.
In fact, Hao Ren should have thought of this earlier, but he had only seen the warships of the godslayers before, and had never seen what their buildings looked like, and the ruins in this forest had been destroyed by time. After years of weathering, even the majestic golden palace has now collapsed into a pile of ruins stained black by rotten leaves and soil. The appearance of these things is so different from the scenery of the past, so it is difficult for people to dispose of them in the first place. recognize it.
But as long as these gray and black ruins are dyed with a layer of golden yellow, the distinctive features will be fully revealed.
Vivienne seemed to have noticed the trick, her eyes changed slightly, and she approached Hao Ren calmly: "Did you see it? It's that race..."
"The Godkillers," Hao Ren nodded lightly, "It seems... this world of Laherien is really an incredible place."
The ruins in front of me are obviously some kind of permanent buildings fixed on the ground rather than movable spaceships, which means that the people who left the ruins settled here, so the ancient civilization in the legend of the Laherian continent is about to emerge : There is no answer other than those godslayers.
So this Laherien is the Godslayer's home planet? It turns out that this planet is so close to the founding star? And this planet was also involved in the dark realm during the explosion of the Kingdom of God
Hao Ren couldn't help but look up at the sky. The night had not yet fallen, and the Broken Heaven had not yet moved to a position where it could be observed. However, Hao Ren knew very well that the fragmented planet was orbiting very close to Laherien. The distance between the two is even so close that it violates the laws of physics: According to a rough estimate, the Shattered Heaven is even in the high orbit of Lahrien. At this position, the gravitational disturbance produced by the Shattered Heaven is enough to make this planet All the oceans rolled up tsunamis thousands of meters high, causing earthquakes on the entire continent, and even leading to a new round of extinction on this planet. However, the actual situation is that none of this happened, even those found before In the information, Hao Ren also learned that this planet named Laherien has an unusually stable environment. Except for things like the Great Tunnel that can be classified as supernatural disasters, this planet seldom has any natural disasters.
Of course, considering that the broken kingdom of heaven is very likely to be the remains of the founding star, everything can still be explained by the divine power of the goddess of creation.
The only thing that made Hao Ren unbelievable was that the home planet of the god-killing race that started the rebellion in the past was so close to the founding star... This point has never been mentioned by Mulu or Zhuomu before.
"It's just a relic, maybe it doesn't explain anything." Although there was no verbal exchange, Vivian also had the same guesses and doubts as Hao Ren. She frowned and shook her head, "Muru didn't say that Godslayer's home planet is right next to the Founding Star, so he should have told us such important information early on. Maybe this is just a stronghold built by Godslayer near the Founding Star."
Hao Ren nodded lightly: "It's also possible."
He and Vivienne were muttering here, but Liya had already completed the preliminary examination of the dissipated magical energy near the ruins on the other side. Miss Magician turned her head and greeted loudly while waving: "Hey—you two What are you doing? We should keep going inside!"
"Let's discuss in detail later, first collect information," Hao Ren said in a low voice, and walked towards Leah while agreeing, "Here we are—we were guessing about the origin of this ruin just now, we know about it Not as much as you."
After a little flattering, Liya immediately took the bait: "That's right, I'm a scholar who specializes in this after all—but I really didn't expect that you adventurers who have traveled far and wide have never heard of the Anno ruins group. ?”
"Annuo Ruins Group?" Hao Ren was taken aback. He vaguely remembered that he had seen this word when he was looking up information in Liya's library two days ago, but it was in an extremely difficult professional book. In books like this one, because it requires a lot of basic knowledge and side notes to understand it, Hao Ren thought that it was not common sense that everyone in this world would grasp, so he temporarily put the book aside, but he didn't expect that at this time I heard Leah mention the name.
"Ah, it's normal if you don't know. After all, this is a professional term in archaeology. Not every adventurer will be interested in this aspect." Liya waved her hand nonchalantly, "Anno The group of relics is not the relics left by any known ancient civilization, but a general term for those ancient relics that cannot be classified and cannot be located in their historical age, and cannot find anything in common with each other.”
"Can't classify and can't determine the age, and there are no relics in common?" Hao Ren felt that this was different from what he expected, and couldn't help asking, "In other words, there are still many ancient relics with different styles and forms. Also classified into this category? How many of them are there?"
"How should I put it... Scholars believe that there are many Anno ruins, but few of them can be discovered by humans, because most of them are hidden away from human habitation, or even in places that humans cannot reach at all, such as the bottom of the sea of mist or the highest peak. on," Leah said, tugging at a strand of hair near her ear, and twisting it unconsciously between her fingers: it seemed to be a habitual action when she was thinking about problems, "over the years, countless archaeologists By excavating and studying ancient relics around the world, we have sorted out a systematic civilization evolution system. Whether it is the changes of human civilization or the history of those subhuman races, they can all be sorted out systematically and find the corresponding Ancient relics. However, there are always a group of special ancient relics that cannot be classified into this system—they are distributed irregularly all over the world, and the texts or portraits found in them are similar to those of any known ancient civilization. If you have to say it, this inability to correspond to known civilizations is the only thing they have in common.”
Speaking of this, Liya paused for a while, as if recalling the knowledge in her memory, and continued after a few seconds: "At first, a scholar named 'Annuo' counted these ruins and suggested that they be classified into one. Therefore, this kind of ruins were collectively referred to as the Annuo ruins group. Their existence has always been a nightmare challenge for archaeologists: the Annuo ruins are like a group of ghosts that appeared in the world out of thin air. I can't find their origins, and I can't find their successors in the future. It's like a group of aliens suddenly descended into this world, built a bunch of big houses in a hurry, and then disappeared. A pile of unexplained ancient ruins to torment us experts and scholars who are horny."
Once Leah talked about something she was interested in, she seemed to open up a chatterbox. Maybe she was suspected of showing off her knowledge, or she might just be a good teacher. Anyway, she balabala entered the preaching mode, but after a long time she stopped suddenly. When he got down, he smiled awkwardly: "Hey, why do I tell you so many things, few people are interested in these things."
"No, we are very interested in this kind of thing," Hao Ren said hastily, "And I think your last metaphor is very vivid, maybe those ruins of unknown origin are really a bunch of aliens who come and go in a hurry Visitors left…”
"You really are a group of very interesting guys." Liya looked Hao Ren up and down, "Speaking of the 'guest from extraterrestrial'...there really is a school of thought that put it forward as a theory. This school It is believed that our world has experienced a very special period. This period almost overturned everything. Whether it is the broken heaven in the sky or the Anno ruins on the ground, they were formed during this period. They think that at this special time At this point, a large number of 'visitors' from outside the universe visited the ancient continent of Laherien, and left countless wonders on the ancient continent, and then they all disappeared in a sudden great change, and The various creations they left behind were also impacted by the laws of the world after that, and the age could no longer be determined. The native civilization of Laherien only appeared after that.”
Hao Ren and Vivian couldn't help but glance at each other.
This continent of Laherien... really has many great scholars.
At this time, Nangong Sanba, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly pretended to be casual and asked: "Miss Leah, do you know any other Annuo ruins with a different style from here?"
"Ah, anyway, as far as I know, the more famous Anno ruins include the Black Pyramid in the Golden Sea, the Temple of the Moon in the elves' territory, and the giant statues near the coast of Misty Hainan," Liya said while watching Looking at the surrounding building wreckage, "Of course, those are large-scale and well-preserved ruins, and they are naturally famous. Besides, there are countless small-scale Annuo ruins scattered here and there, just like the ones we found. This kind, there may be double-digit numbers in Changfeng Ridge alone. Of course, the relics that still have magical reactions are quite precious."
"So that's it," Hao Ren pretended to be educated, "This is really a lot of experience."
In this way, it seems that the conjecture that "Lahrien is the mother planet of the godslayers" can be overturned. It seems that those godslayers just built some facilities on this planet, and the ruins they left behind are nothing more than It is one of the countless mysterious relics of Laherien.
Lia smiled smugly, as if meeting a "new friend who is diligent and inquisitive" has fully satisfied her scholarly soul, then she turned and walked towards the ancient dome with a big hole: "Lecture time is here first Well, we still have work to do. Just now I have confirmed the strength of this thing. Although the outside collapsed seriously, the inside structure is quite stable. Our next task is to go down this hole and find its center .”
Hao Ren smiled slightly: "Then what are you waiting for, we are here for this."
