After getting into the water, Linton discovered that the situation under the lake was a bit complicated. Linton drove the circle all the way down. First of all, he discovered that the depth of the lake was really scary, for a lake.
This is simply not normal. From the outside, the surface of this lake seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of this lake. Not many people probably know about the situation below.
Then Linton discovered that this lake was not a stagnant lake at all. Just like his previous guess, this lake had channels underwater, and some cracks clearly had water flowing in and out, and the leading locations were beyond Linton's circle detection range.
I don't know where I'm going. Because of this, the water flow under the lake is very chaotic, and there are undercurrents everywhere. It is estimated that ordinary people may be in danger at any time when they come down, and they will be sucked by the undercurrents and unable to go up.
Linton's swimming skills are not very good. Although he can't swim to death, he can't swim fast either. Yes, here Linton discovered another aspect that he is not good at. It seems that apart from flying, swimming is also a weakness. But fortunately
The octopus that brought him was very good at swimming. Although most of its tentacles were cut off by Linton, leaving only three or four tentacles, it didn't seem to affect his speed, or in other words, he could swim faster.
.
Of course, Linton is not worried about him running away, because the mark has been marked. If this guy wants to run away, Linton will definitely catch up and kill him. However, the octopus here seems to know the gap and has no intention of running away now.
He kept holding Linton with his tentacles and dived down steadily.
Soon, Linton had reached the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake was not a flat land. The space below was very rugged. Just as Linton suspected, this area might have been part of the mountain before. But when Linton dived there,
At the bottom, Linton probably knew what happened.
Yes, what appeared in front of Linton was an underwater ruin. Judging from some of the things the circle scanned, it was obviously an artificially constructed ruin like a city. After many years, most of the buildings were unrecognizable.
, but you can still see some remaining conditions.
Seeing the ruins of this city, Linton also guessed that this might be the disappeared ancient empire that Yalan and the others mentioned before. It seemed that the legend was actually true. From what he had discovered before, Linton speculated that this ancient empire
The real reason for the disappearance should be a natural disaster such as a major earthquake.
I said before that Linton saw the pebbles by the lake and thought that the lake might have been a river before. Now it seems that this guess is correct. The city at the bottom of the lake may be an important city of the ancient empire, built on the river. One day there will be a
A big earthquake suddenly struck, and the surrounding mountains collapsed, blocking the river channel, causing the river water to backflow, and directly flooded the entire city.
As for the cultural relics and other things found by the adventurers before, Linton felt that they might have flowed out from here. I mentioned before that there are many undercurrents under the lake, and there are also some rivers outside the passages. It may be that some undercurrents rolled up the water at the bottom.
The cultural relics then rushed outside through the passage and were picked up by the adventurers who came in.
As for other cities in this ancient empire, they were probably annihilated in history. Maybe it was because of this big earthquake, maybe it was something else. In short, things on the ground died much faster than here. This underwater city
It's because of this lake that it left its mark.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Linton. He just came down to find the core of the world. However, the result left Linton a little disappointed.
According to the previous situation, if there is a World Core after Linton comes down, he should be able to scan it directly. Because the steel giant was controlled by an octopus before, it is theoretically an octopus weapon, but after getting close to the opponent,
Linton got the hint directly, so Linton boldly guessed that there should be no issue of ownership of the core of the world, and it should be different from valuables in this aspect.
However, he walked around below, and Linton didn't get any hints. The octopus also took Linton to the place where he found the steel giant. This place was a palace, but the remaining wreckage Linton
It's impossible to tell whether this is a palace or a temple. Before it was destroyed, it should have been a very grand building. You can tell from the size of the area, but now there is only a pile of broken earth.
Linton also didn't get any hints around the palace. He scanned it with a circle and found nothing suspicious. The silt under the lake had been accumulated for unknown years. Because of their swimming here, the silt
As it continued to spread upward, the visibility became lower and lower, and Linton could hardly see anything.
After scanning for a while, Linton gave up. There should be nothing he was looking for. But he couldn't just give up. After all, he had no clues about the core of the world. Now he only found it here.
It's just a fragment, so we can only look for it from here.
After thinking about it, Linton felt that the only way was to conduct research on this ruins, or research on the dynasty of this hour, and see if the other party had any records or clues about this. However, Linton's work in this area
Dun was not prepared to do it by himself. He was not an archaeologist and he didn't know how to start in this area.
After thinking about it, Linton decided to mobilize the power of the masses. As long as he made this place public, maybe someone would come here to conduct research. Of course, if it was made public, Linton needed something attractive, so he thought about it, and Linton
Decided to move some things back.
Yes, Linton found a lot of strange things down there. Most of the things that were preserved were metal objects and treasures. Linton felt that if he brought these things back, it would definitely cause a sensation.
In this way, many people should pay attention to this place.
Secondly, you can also find someone to study the things Linton brought back. Maybe you can analyze something. For example, Linton found some metal pieces that were obviously engraved with something, or there was still a small half of something in the style of a stone tablet.
, these things may be the texts recorded by this dynasty. Anyway, they looked similar, so Linton decided to take them back first and talk about it later.
Although he couldn't see anything, Linton was still able to lock the position of these things by relying on the circle. After swimming around below, Linton quickly received some things and put them into the package. Of course, Linton didn't have to go back to complete these things.
It floated up, and with a flash of white light, it returned to Garsain on the shore. As for the octopus, Linton also said he would let it go, and the other party was indeed quite obedient.
"Huh!" Linton breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the shore. To be honest, it was still more comfortable on the shore because there was mud below. Linton had been holding his breath until now. He looked at the condition of his body and found that his whole body was indeed covered in mud.
The person turned into a black mess.
"Wow, are you going to dig river mud?" Gassen next to him couldn't help but said.
"We are digging for treasure." Linton said and threw out a lot of things from the bag. Although most of the things were wrapped in sand and turned into a black thing, everyone knew it at a glance.
, it’s really a treasure.
"Is there really a treasure?" Garsain said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, there is a flooded city in the lake, which is probably the ancient dynasty you mentioned thousands of years ago." Linton said.
"Is there really an ancient dynasty? I always thought it was a legend." Yalan said next to her.
"Does our royal family have an archaeological team?" Linton asked.
"Do you want to study this site? Or these cultural relics?" Yalan asked.
"This dynasty may have some information about what I want, but I'm not sure. Let's find a group to study it and then take a look." Linton said.
"The royal family doesn't have any archaeological team, but there should be some among the private sector," Yalan said.
"Okay, when we go back, we will publish an article in the newspaper, saying that we have discovered ruins here, and the royal family is going to organize an archaeological team to investigate and see if they can recruit similar talents." Linton said, "There are so many.
If you use it as a treasure, it should be able to create a topic, and it is estimated that a lot of people will pay attention to it. If you cast a wide net, you should be able to recruit the people you need."
"Understood." Yalan nodded, "Is this related to the affairs of the Cthulhu Church?"
"Yes, it has something to do with it." Linton didn't know how to explain it. Unexpectedly, Yalan took the initiative to explain it to Linton. Of course, Linton followed suit, "But don't make this matter public for the time being. I need to
Do your own research first."
"Okay." Yalan nodded. She also knew that Linton was very diligent in investigating the Cthulhu Church. If she could help, she would definitely do her best.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's have a barbecue party first. I'll go take a shower in the hut and you guys will have a barbecue first," Linton said.
"Uh... about this..." Yalan hesitated a little when talking about this, "Um... can you let the dragon go?"
"Huh? Why?" Linton asked strangely.
"Because that dragon is willing to make a contract with me." said Garsain next to him.
"Do you also want to be a dragon knight?" Linton asked.
"No, it's me..." Yalan said.
"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment.
"Actually, it's about the rebirth potion. The dragon's essence and blood are very precious, and Vecna can't provide new essence and blood now," Garsain said.
"Do you want the rebirth potion?" Linton asked Yalan, "Upgrade to Saint level?"
"Have you forgotten? This rebirth potion has other effects besides this." Gaseon next to him said, "That Iglis lived for 145 years..."
Linton suddenly understood that the rebirth potion also had a seemingly useless passive effect, which was to delay aging. Yes, Iglis lived for 145 years, and he still looked like he was in his forties, and he was physically strong.
There is no sign of aging, and it is estimated that she can live for a long time. So of course Linton understands why Yalan wants the rebirth potion. After all... she is a woman.
It seems that when I entered the water, the dragon had reached a consensus with several people in order to save his life. Doesn't that mean that... I can't eat dragon meat again? But... she is my wife after all, and Yalan rarely makes requests.
Linton couldn't refuse, although he had other options.
"Then... forget it, let's eat grilled squid today." Linton pointed to the octopus tentacles still jumping on the shore next to him and said.
