At that moment, Benjamin's hair almost stood on end.
He concentrated his expression, making the whole picture become clearer. At the corner of the street, an ancient statue with a broken arm seemed to be given life. Its plaster-like legs spread out and moved slowly in the other direction.
Damn...
Benjamin took a deep breath and said nothing.
What is this stuff
There is no doubt that everything in front of him has exceeded his cognitive scope. Undead? Warcraft? Or is it just a moving statue? Is it dead or alive? Do you have self-awareness? Or is it controlled by someone
Such a beautiful statue, why does it move on its own
So if there is another statue of a discus thrower in this city, will it hit people with a discus
Benjamin felt like he had strayed into another world.
He didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that these strange phenomena had nothing to do with the power of magic. From the moving statue, he did not feel any changes in the elements, but there was a trace of mental power, but the form presented was completely different from the normal mental power.
From his own understanding, mental power is a kind of energy fluctuation, which usually spreads in a wave shape. However, the spiritual power emanating from the statue gives people a lifeless and grainy feel.
Benjamin couldn't help but wonder, could this be another kind of creature
While he was thinking, the statue was still moving forward, and gradually came to the same street as Benjamin. Then, it turned around stiffly and slowly walked towards Benjamin. It was unclear whether it had discovered Benjamin's presence.
Seeing the unchanging expression on its face, Benjamin also felt quite perceptive.
Therefore, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, then recited the ice-breaking spell, condensed dozens of ice arrows, and attacked the sculpture.
-With such a weird thing, it’s better not to let him get close to you.
boom!
The sculpture did not dodge, but continued to move forward stupidly. So, countless ice arrows hit it and turned it into a sieve. With a crash, it fell to the ground, losing the ability to move.
"do you died?"
Benjamin was a little confused. He approached carefully and looked over, only to see that the sculpture had fallen apart under the attack just now and was extremely broken. Judging from the broken holes, its white skin is not made of plaster, but some kind of more flexible material.
As for the inside of its body, gears, iron pieces, levers... parts made of various strange materials appeared in front of Benjamin's eyes, forming the "internal organs" of such a sculpture.
… robot
However, the internal structure of this sculpture is not refined, on the contrary, it feels rough. Benjamin studied it for a while. Although he still couldn't understand the structure, he could roughly judge that this thing seemed to have no other function besides walking stiffly.
But... what energy supports its actions
He searched for a while longer. Finally, from the sculpture's head, he found a crystal that glowed green.
The crystal is very similar to the stone I picked up before. After feeling it carefully, I can see that the energy inside is the same, but it seems more concentrated in the crystal. The granular radiating divine power that Benjamin observed before was also emitted from this green crystal.
There are some strange settings around the crystal. They are probably devices that can extract energy from the crystal and make the sculpture move.
However, even so, Benjamin was still extremely surprised.
What kind of city is this
There is this magical stone and strange abilities, and then it seems that a method to use this energy has been developed here, and it is used to create existences similar to robots.
Benjamin felt that he might have discovered a civilization that had never been recorded in history.
An existence completely different from magical civilization.
After some thought, he continued walking forward, slowly approaching the center of the city. On the way, he also encountered many moving sculptures, but he didn't care about those sculptures, and those sculptures didn't care about him, they just passed each other in such a hurry.
Observing this road, Benjamin also realized that these sculptures may be the only "residents" in the city. I don’t know what happened, there wasn’t a single living thing in there. As for the skeletons, Benjamin only found them when he walked to the very center of the city.
The city center is a place similar to the ancient Greek council chamber. I don’t know how many years have passed since the towering and magnificent building, and now only a dilapidated building remains.
The steps of this building are densely covered with all kinds of skeletons.
"It's so scary..." The system couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder it would sigh like this. Benjamin looked at everything in front of him and took a breath.
Bones piled on the ground were piled from top to bottom on the ten-meter-high steps. Countless scattered skulls and sunken eye sockets were covered with yellow marks, which also showed what kind of massacre occurred here many years ago.
Is this still a meeting hall? It's literally a mountain of skulls.
After releasing the water element induction method, Benjamin found that there was nothing inside. So, he calmed down, flew up, flew over the heads of the skeletons, and entered the interior of the meeting hall.
As soon as he entered the meeting hall, he saw a mural.
Although it looks like it has gone through a lot of years, the murals have not been completely corroded, so the things on them can still be seen clearly.
Benjamin was also able to tell that this mural depicts two groups of people facing each other.
A group of people were glowing with green light, strong and holding a variety of weapons in their hands. They looked very ferocious. Another group of people wore cloaks, covering their faces, and looked mysterious, with strange-shaped flames floating above their heads.
Intuition told Benjamin that those cloaked men were mages.
So... what about the green men
He doesn't know either.
Combining this mural with everything in the city, Benjamin suddenly felt that those green men should have used the energy in the stones to make themselves stronger and then fight against the mage.
Using his imagination, he suddenly thought of an explanation for the mural in front of him.
Maybe... A long time ago, magic was not the only special power in the world. But later on, I don’t know why, the civilization represented by this green man died, and it didn’t even leave any traces in history. Therefore, in the end, people's memories of ancient times are only Cain and Abel, magic and divine arts.
At least, judging from this painting, this kind of green man can compete with the mage.
Thinking of this, Benjamin took a deep breath and continued walking inside.
In any case, during today's treasure hunt, he felt that he had indeed discovered something remarkable. Stones containing strange energy, prehistoric civilizations... I wonder if he can find some relevant written records.
Unexpectedly, he actually found it.
Inside this hall he found some stone slabs. The stone slab also looked very old, and I didn't know why it had not been weathered. However, it was clearly and unusually engraved with various arranged characters, which seemed to be some kind of writing that Benjamin had never seen before.
Benjamin picked up the slate and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he found a somewhat familiar symbol on it.
An equilateral triangle, but with a hole missing at one corner, looks like a strange rune like a triangle.
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
…is it a coincidence
Reason told him that the appearance of this triangular character was not complicated, and it was normal for people to use it as writing in prehistoric civilizations. However, his intuition told him that this triangle was the same as the triangle character in his consciousness space.
What does it mean
Suddenly, it seemed as if a voice sounded from the depths of his soul.
"water."
Benjamin was shocked.
At that moment, he thought of the difficult-to-pronounce syllable that represented "water" that was constantly repeated in the pure blue world. He didn't know why, but he suddenly became extremely certain. Every time he entered the pure blue world, the syllable he tried to remember was written in this missing triangle.
And the meaning of this character is exactly "water".
Pure and simple "water".
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the triangular character on the stone slab.
At that moment, in a world full of green light, he suddenly felt an overwhelming blue light flashing before his eyes. Later, when he came back to his senses, he found that he once again came to the pure blue world that he had not seen for a long time.
