The Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhu Xie Nai III Chapter Thirteen Differences Between Tentacles
Sophia walked a little further away and said to the others. "Noel and I need some time to study what the dwarf said. You can tell the clan leader the information you just got from the dwarf and ask him if he has any
Whatever he can think of, let’s also ask him how much he knows about the remains where the ancestral stone carvings are stored.”
"Yeah, that's fine. It would be great if there is any new information, but it seems like the clan leader doesn't know much information." Ryan agreed.
"Maybe this information can give the clan leader some reminder. You have to try, right?" Sophia smiled.
"Yes, you won't lose anything if you give it a try. It's a good thing that you will definitely make money without losing any money." Noel is a born optimist.
"Then the troops are divided into two groups. You go and study, while Alice and I go to find the patriarch." Ryan turned and left.
"Well, maybe we can gain something else." Alice also wanted to ask the patriarch if he knew any other information.
Sofia saw that it was still early, and there wasn't much to do for the time being, so she and Noel went directly to study the strange murmur.
It was obvious that the four of them were going to eradicate the ruins of evil things, and the clan leader certainly knew that. Because the ruins housed ancestral stone carvings, frequent entry and exit was disrespectful, and dwarves with four hundred years of life would only clean it once every few decades.
"So did they go into the ruins to clean it, or for other things?" After Ryan spoke, the clan leader nodded.
"Then what was this relic used for? Was it just used to store stone sculptures?" Alice asked.
"The ruins are buildings built by our ancestors. They were sealed underground due to mudslides. The ruins themselves are stone sculptures carved from giant mountain rocks. Of course, there are also some ordinary stone sculptures stored inside."
"When was the last cleaning?" Ryan felt that this was a bit too much. The patriarch told him that he could not verify it due to severe amnesia, but it must have been ten years or more ago.
"Is that so? I'm sorry to trouble you anymore, Mr. Patriarch. We already have a rough understanding. Oh, by the way. Patriarch, I would like to ask, has this ruins been used to preserve the remains of dwarves? Ryan said he did.
After the spell, I saw some dwarf skeletons in this ruins." But the patriarch shook his head.
"Patriarch, besides these, are there any other clues about that ruins?" Ryan asked another question.
"What do you want to know?" The patriarch didn't understand what Ryan meant.
"It's like this. Through spells before, we roughly understood what happened to the seriously injured dwarf. One is that there are dwarf skeletons with black spiked armor inside, and the other is tentacles. I wonder if the clan leader has any impression of these two things?"
"There were ten children who went down together at that time. Maybe their bodies were corrupted." The patriarch did not answer the latter question.
"Okay, thanks to the patriarch for informing us of this news. Then we'll leave first." Then Alice planned to leave to find Sophia and the others.
"Well, that's it, I understand. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. If you can think of any clues, please let us know. Thank you." Ryan felt that the patriarch must have something to hide, and then he and
Alice left, and then went to meet Sophia and the others to see their progress.
When Alice and Ryan returned to the slate house where they were resting, Sophia and Noel had just found one out of ten suitable word combinations.
"It feels like the patriarch seems to know something about the tentacles, but he didn't tell us. It feels a bit strange." Ryan told the two of them in a low voice.
"Sure enough, the patriarch is the big villain? All puppet shows are performed like this." Alice sighed softly, remembering the puppet show she once performed on the street. "Well... it was just a joke.
Don’t worry about it.”
"But he has no intention of doing so. Doesn't he want to purify the ruins?" Noel really believed Alice's joke.
"As for tentacles, it seems that the monsters Alexander and the others encountered in the ruins of the Wild Forest were also monsters with tentacles." Sofia replied casually while studying, and then Ryan described to Sofia in detail the appearance of the tentacles he had seen before.
"Well, it seems different?" Sophia stopped what she was doing and immediately compared it with what Alexander had said about the person they were fighting with according to what Ryan described.
Sophia mobilized her memory, and sure enough, the tentacles Alexander mentioned before were all black or red, and this time the tentacles were purple with some white star spots. Based on what she had seen, Sophia judged what the characteristics represented this time.
Object. [Purple, similar to the color of the Origin Core collected before and the stone just seen...] She couldn't tell. The only contents that could be referenced were the initial exploration of the ruins with Brandon and the others, and Alexander and the others.
experience.
[Are the three things we just saw actually related to our three goals this time?] Sophia was thinking.
"It's strange beyond words, these tentacles should hide a secret." Ryan said.
"Sorry, I can't tell what the tentacles you just encountered represent. But it is closely related to our goal. This should be certain." Sophia immediately pointed out this point.
"Hey, let's take a look first. I don't have a clue at the moment." Ryan shook his head.
"We can't rush it for now. Noel and I will continue our research. You can go see if there are any clues in other places." Sophia decided to complete the deciphering work at hand first.
"It would be great if the dwarf could wake up before we enter the ruins." Noel sincerely hoped so.
"Hopefully." Ryan shrugged, he thought it was unlikely.
After that, Sophia continued to assist Noel in his research, scribbling with notes. "By the way. If you two don't know where to go, maybe you can go to the sentry and have a look." She estimated that she could figure it out before going to bed tonight.
, at worst, I’ll have to stay up late.
"Well...I'm going to ask other people in the village." Ryan decided to go to the village to find other dwarves to ask for information about the dwarf skeletons and tentacles in black spiked armor in the ruins. Alice decided to stay and help Sophia and the others study together.
, but in fact, it can only be started.
Because Ryan chose a question that no one might be able to answer, he had no choice but to come back for lunch...and lunch was also meat.
The sentry post is not far from the village, just on the edge of the gathering place, without leaving the gathering place. This kind of sentry post is a stone watchtower, and it should be safe nearby. After taking a short rest, Ryan decided to go to the sentry post in the afternoon.
Ryan chose the post that was closer to the village, over the hills. This post was also the place where the dwarves checked the documents when the four of them came. Now Ryan is here again. Currently, seven or eight dwarves take turns to guard the post, while the others polish it.
Simple weapons.
"Brother, are there any evil things around these days? Have you seen any evil things similar to tentacles?" After Ryan asked, the dwarf who could understand Common Language told him no. Ryan felt that these sturdy dwarves were stronger than himself.
They are weaker, but the evil objects approaching the sentry here can be easily repelled by them.
Perhaps the attack the four of them suffered was the corrupted demonic pig. That guy should be one of the strongest demonic beasts here in the hills.
Then Ryan found a dwarf who could understand Common Language and asked him to help ask the dwarf who could only understand Dwarf about the black spiked armor. But no one had seen it or heard of it.
"What does the core of the origin look like here?" Ryan continued to ask. He had never taken a guidance potion in his life. He was asking for Sophia. Then the dwarf told him that it comes in all colors. If it is evil
The object will become speckled.
"Thank you, brother. I didn't bring any wine this time. I'll bring us a good meal next time." Then Ryan went to the sentry on the other side of the mountain and asked again for information about the tentacles and black spiked armor. But the result was the same as before.
, he also didn't get any useful information, but it was obvious that the number of guards, personal strength, and weapons on the mountain side were better than those on the hilly side.
Immediately afterwards, Ryan asked the dwarves at the mountain sentry again about the strength level and attack types of the evil creatures here, especially the strength level and number of the evil creatures in the area where they would practice later.
Although the dwarves here don't know what training area Ryan was talking about, compared to the hills, the evil things on the mountain side are undoubtedly much more troublesome, and there are more of them. In fact, there is no need to ask, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
come out……
"Well, do we have a map of this area here? I want to mark it a little so that I can better complete the task assigned by the clan leader." Although the results are not quite the same as expected, Ryan still wants to do some searching.
Useful information. Then he got a very rough stone slab, which was engraved with the terrain of the mountain sentry.
The dwarf told Ryan that he could find the ruins along the mountain road they dug and to the end of the stone slab.
"Thank you so much, see you later." Ryan cleared up the disappointment of a day of unrewarding results, got the map, and returned to the slate house.
