After passing through the valley, there is another valley, the continuous mountainous area of the Green Dragon Mountains. Here you can hardly see the steep mountain walls near the Xiajin Tower in the north of Kaolin, but the scenery is even better.
The silvery moonlight pours down from the night sky and shines on the dense vegetation in the valley. The rocks condense into a strange arch shape, like a galloping wild horse, giving this place an vivid name, Horse Gate.
The rock wall showed a desolate reddish gray under the moonlight, like tuff containing iron oxide. There seemed to have been some uneven patterns on it, but they had long since been smoothed away by time. Fang Plover got off Mr. Gray Rock's back, alone.
Standing on the edge of the rock wall here, touching the cold surface of those ancient stone slabs with your hands, you feel as if you have traveled through thousands of years of time, conveying ancient stories from an era ago.
But that's just an illusion, because the Snake Empire has existed for much longer than one era.
Their empire already ruled the vast land before the appearance of the Numerin elves. Today, the snake-men of St. Xiu'an call themselves Sinsas. It is said that this snake-men word with unknown meaning is the name of their long-gone ancient empire.
Unlike the Numelin elves who disappeared without a trace after the Disaster of Eshorin, the snakemen still live in Etalia today, in Cape Saint-Hughan and the Numelin forest, but they have long forgotten them.
The past glory has been lost, and no trace of the memory of that long-ago empire remains. The primitive organization of ancient clans and matrilineal societies is maintained in the jungle.
Only in their mysterious witchcraft and sacrificial rituals can we vaguely see some of the past.
Fang Plover stood quietly in the valley.
After repelling the Blood Oath brigade, everyone finally arrived here, the entrance to the ruins of the Snake Empire. As if taking a break from his busy schedule, he asked for a leave from everyone, wanting to see this place that disappeared in the long river of history alone.
The style of the ancient empire.
He walked alone along the valley, and the moonlight shone on the mountain wall, outlining its original strange shape. The red-gray rock wall was peeled off layer by layer, and it seemed like there was something inside.
The shape of the original buildings is almost invisible. They are broken between the red sandstones, or the sandstones themselves are part of them, with vines and shrubs growing on them.
Natural life and death have been piled up on the corpse of this civilization for countless ages. However, Fang Yu did not come here to find out. He just had great curiosity about this ancient empire.
Many scholars are very curious about this ancient empire, but the investigation about it has almost stalled because even the snake people themselves have forgotten their written inheritance. At the same time, Numelin itself is also a huge blank.
It is difficult to find corresponding comparisons for some serpentine characters.
Because this civilization sleeping in the forest could only slowly disappear surrounded by vines. The palace once collapsed into stone slabs, and the stone slabs turned into gravel, and finally disappeared.
Fang Plover suddenly felt that he was lucky to be able to see the last of it before it completely disappeared.
He looked at the gravel and gravel quietly.
The gravel couldn't tell him the answer.
But it can tell stories from the past.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, only to realize that it was the Solitary White Wilderness. The current leader of the Rain Listener Brigade pointed to the other side of the valley and said to him:
"That's the entrance to the ruins."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before looking in that direction.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Behind the red-grey mountain wall, there was a row of artificially carved footholds. They seemed to lead people to a direction. At the end of it, there were two tall snake-man stone statues erected in the valley. They were just one.
The heads were missing from one of the bodies, and one was missing its right hand, but the long tail and fine scales still pointed out the identity of their carver.
Behind the stone statue is a huge door.
The door is so majestic that it seems to be guarding the entire valley. You have to look up to see the whole thing. The door is pushed open a gap, but it is enough for four or five people to pass through. It is more than one meter thick. I don’t know what kind of means are used to open it.
Carve out such a huge thing.
There is a gap above the giant door, but it is generally well preserved. There are huge carvings on it, which are still clearly visible thousands of years later. There are also relief carvings on the mountain walls on both sides, depicting the past glory of this ancient empire.
This is not the first time Fang Yu has seen the snake-man wall carvings. There is a lot of related information in the community. The stars hanging from the central sky above the door are like comets. They are called Andron, the tail of the earthly snake.
The main god in the Sinsas pantheon.
The Numelin elves called it the Shape of Disaster, because some scholars thought it was green, but judging from the performance of the snake people on the murals, it did not seem to be a sign of world-ending disaster.
However, the snake people do believe that Andron, the giant earthly snake, is both a symbol of life and death, and a symbol of a cycle.
Therefore, there is life and death on the mural. The left side is the rise of Sinsas, and the right side is the end of the First Age.
Limited information proves that the first era of Aitaria ended with the arrival of the second evil star Verdant. It may have been a meteorite falling from the sky, or something else. It not only sunk Aesorin, but also brought
Dark creatures.
However, although the Sinthas Snakemen left this prophecy about the end of the Era, their empire itself fell apart and disappeared in the middle of the First Era. What they experienced is still unknown to this day.
Fang Plover looked to the left. The empire was born from a dark flame, which was the Throne of Fire of the Snake People. Snakes are cold-blooded animals, but the Snake People worshiped flames crazily. Then the Seven Kings split. This is a minority.
There are a few events that Ettaria and Earth scientists can confirm in advance, and then there will be a long war that cannot be confirmed.
Until the empire is reduced to ashes.
"Down there is an ancient passage that passes through the underground ruins of the Snake Man Empire and reaches the other end of the valley. There is the Dragon's Nest, the trial place of the Holy Valley of Peru."
Gu Baizhiye looked at the door and said.
"Is there something under the ruins?" Fang Pliover asked.
Gu Baizhiye shook his head: "There is a passage below. I have been there myself. Some people say that there is a road below that leads to a deeper underground, but I have never seen it."
He looked at the door: "Maybe. In fact, the trial ground under the ruins of Peru Sacred Valley is also an open underground space. It is only a small area that has been truly explored by people.
, in the deeper places, no one can say what is there.”
"Perhaps it is a dead zone, or it may be a long-dormant god. Some people hear strange whispers down there, but when people return, they all say different things."
"A dormant god?" Fang Plover asked: "Are you talking about the resurrected god of the lizard people? I heard that an adventure group discovered its body underground, and then the body disappeared, but
No one can say for sure whether Salus has really been resurrected."
"It happened more than ten years ago. It's older than me. Who knows?" Gubaizheye replied: "But there is a long-standing legend about a snake-man god underground in Fenris. It first came from St. Xiu'an Cape.
It is passed down among the ancient snake-man clan, and it is said that the night lizards are here just to find it.”
"You know," he replied: "Their belief traditions are actually very consistent with those of the snake people. Some people say that they were once slaves of the snake people's empire."
"Then don't they miss the life of slaves very much?" Fang Yu was speechless.
Gubai Zhiye spread his hands.
Aitaria was originally such a world, full of bizarre legends and the legacy of two eras of history, leaving too many unsolved mysteries here.
After rumors spread by word of mouth, they are exaggerated and amplified, and some of them are no longer credible. But who dares to say that there is no real information behind a ridiculous legend?
Fang Yu glanced at Gubai Zhiye. He had told the other party something about the battle at Pegasus Bridge before. He didn't know what the other party thought. But people would more or less care about their own failures, because
He didn't know whether the other party would be dissatisfied.
But Gubai Zhino had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care about anything.
After a while, he said: "Grant asked me to tell you about us and the Blood Oath."
Only with these words did Fang Yu finally confirm the other party's intention.
"I'm also curious," he asked, "what happened to you?"
"It's a long story." Gu Baizhino replied. His expression was a little downcast. He thought that he was not unaware of the guild's incident. But so what if he was aware of it. Things like the collective disappearance of the club's top executives had not happened in the past.
It has never happened. There are many reasons, but for the guilds in Aitaria, there is only one result.
The situation like Listening to the Rain is quite special. After the contact with outside clubs was severed, the guilds in the first world still maintained relative integrity and independence. Logically speaking, the Super Competitive Alliance should have come to the door long ago to inventory the guild assets.
, or freeze or resell.
Unless the Rain Listener Club is not due to debt, or the investors have not pursued it at all, but how is this possible? It sounds incredible. This is where Fang Yu feels confused.
However, Gubai Zhino did not talk about this issue immediately, and only said: "Do you still remember what you told me before?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Which one?"
"R, do you still remember him?"
Fang Plover nodded.
He met such a person in the community about three years ago. His ID was a single letter r. By chance, that person taught him a lot of things, including many battle craftsman skills.
Related skills.
In fact, he was very grateful to the other party, because if it weren't for this accident, he might not have been able to teach himself to become a Kapka craftsman apprentice after becoming a stowaway. He had the most basic understanding of the battle craftsman basically at that time
Segmentally formed.
However, he did not expect at first that this simple ID would be connected with the battle he was familiar with ten years ago. The two users with the same ID before and after would be the same person on the Internet.
And he only vaguely confirmed this when he accidentally discussed the battle of Pegasus Bridge with the other party, although the other party never admitted it personally.
He couldn't help but look towards Gubai Zhiye, wanting to see what the other party was going to say, because he was also full of curiosity about that person. Not only what happened ten years ago, but also because it was that person who told him what he was doing.
He has a unique talent in spatial perception.
He also wanted to know why the other party suddenly left without saying goodbye after saying this.
