Wang: "According to this diary, the key point should be the main door in the center of the second underground floor. Through the main door, you can lead to the third floor below. Let's see if there are any other more detailed research records."
"I found one here." Elizabeth held up something like a sketchbook in her hand. "This book draws images of the door from all angles, and also uses rubbings to record the carvings and text on the door."
Wang immediately took it, flipped through it quickly, and said while flipping: "The characters rubbed here are undoubtedly the characters of the Cyclops Empire. Although the characters of the Cyclops Empire look like hieroglyphics, they are actually a kind of hieroglyphics."
Pinyin characters have meaning only when they are put together to form words.
"Obviously none of the researchers of the Order understand the One-Eyed Empire's writing. Why?"
Flint: "No, no, no, I don't understand that the one-eyed empire's writing is the norm, and you are the abnormal one."
Wang: "Really? Our Mage Tower..."
"Your mage tower is not normal, okay!" Flint interrupted Wang, "How can a group of planeswalkers' mage towers be normal? I have spent hundreds of years in my life and I have never met a planeswalker! You
He’s half a planeswalker apprentice!”
Wang: "I am actually the apprentice of three planeswalkers, but I obviously cannot be counted as a planeswalker, but at least it should be infinitely close to 1, so let's count it as 0.9."
Flint: "Is this important? Stop your inexplicable obsession with numbers!"
At this time, Xiaobai said: "I found the instant noodles that Dasheng wanted, Arrancar... uh, how do you say it?"
Wang: "Cross-section view."
"Yes, that's it." Xiaobai ran to the king with the rolled-up picture and held it up high: "Here! Am I good?"
Wang touched Xiaobai's head: "That's amazing, you are the best."
After saying that, he put down the picture album and diary in his hands, picked up the cross-section diagram and unfolded it.
"Inverted triangle shape." He muttered, "Then this thin hole here should be the sampling well opened by the researchers of the sect to study the soil around the ruins. This dotted line should be the dividing line of soil... I just wrote in the diary
The dwarf should be the main researcher here, and his research methods are very similar to the style of the Gnomish Explorers Association."
The dwarf ran over, took the king's arm, and tilted the unfolded cross-section of the king.
This way Flint can see what's on the picture.
Xiaobai: "If you were a girl, what you did just now could be called cute."
Marika teased: "I think this is very cute."
Flint said angrily: "Shut up, Dark Elf!"
Nini: "I also think...it's a pity that I have a beard."
"Shut up, white elf!" Perhaps he didn't want to be teased by the two tall elves with long legs, so Flint forcibly changed the topic to the cross-sectional view, "This earthy dividing line fits the underground structure of the ruins very well.
It’s an inverted triangle.”
Wang: "Yes, and... look at the label here, there is only soil on the surface around the ruins, and granite is one meter deep underground. No wonder the dwarf researcher thinks this is the floating city of the Cyclops Empire. Damn it, now I
I also feel like this is a floating city."
Elizabeth: "But... if this is the floating city of Cyclops, the statue should be the god of Cyclops, right? But I'm pretty sure that the statues have two eyes."
King: "The Cyclops believes that the fewer eyes there are, the more noble they are. They despise creatures with two eyes, enslave them as slaves, and use magic to extract their vitality from time to time to extend their lifespan.
"The Cyclops considers gods greater than themselves to have no eyes. Cyclops priests will blind their own eyes to get as close to the gods as possible.
"So a possible speculation was born. These statues originally had no eyes. Later, the species that occupied this ruins added eyes. The river kingdoms are the economic centers of the human empire in the Second Age. They may be the human beings who occupy this place.
Do it.”
At this time Nini said: "By the way, I found a list of objects unearthed here. There are also sketches of the objects on it. Take a look."
Wang put down the cross-section diagram, took the thick book from his apprentice's hand, and opened it.
"Oh, here is the analysis of the unearthed items by the Relics Research Department of the Order: 'Pottery, the craftsmanship is quite poor, it should be the creation of early human civilization'. This confirms what I just guessed."
Elizabeth tried to summarize: "This was originally the floating city of the Cyclops Empire. The Cyclops Empire was destroyed in the First Age. Humans occupied this place in the Second Age and renovated the Cyclops buildings... But it's wrong. When I was in class
I have learned that human beings are very dependent on water transportation, so human big cities are basically next to rivers.
"There is no river here."
Wang put down the list of unearthed objects, picked up the surface plan of the ruins, looked at it and said: "Indeed, there are no buildings found in waterside cities such as bridges on the surface of the ruins. Could it be said that this place was a paradise for explorers in the Second Age?
?But the underground maze only has two floors. Although it is very large...
"Could it be that there were many dangerous monsters living underground at that time?"
Flint: "In the second era, the adventurers killed all the monsters underground and looted all the magic items, so when the cult came to use this place as their base, they found nothing of value.
This speculation is quite reasonable, isn’t it?”
Wang: "It's quite reasonable. We've almost read the information. Let's go to the door and see what the words Cyclops left on the door are."
**
The "central gate" mentioned repeatedly in the religious group's research materials is on the second floor of the ruins. According to the structural diagram, this door and the square space behind the door are the center of the entire second floor.
At the same time, there is also such an inaccessible square space in the center of the first floor of the ruins.
Further up, there is the huge statue that is the most conspicuous on the surface of the ruins.
Now the rescue team arrived in front of this door.
The magic light sources on both sides of the gate are brighter than the magic light sources in other parts of the ruins, but this has no effect on the king, because there are dragon-headed glowing sticks floating next to him.
Wang: "Let me take a look..."
He looked at the shortest piece of Cyclops text in the center of the lintel of the door: "This text says - elevator?"
Elizabeth: "Elevator! (surprised)"
Flint: "Elevator? (confused)"
Nini: "Electricity? (confused)"
Xiaobai: "Kick! (Blind Jill shouts)"
Wang: "Don't make trouble! Let me continue to read other words."
He came to the left side of the door: "It can carry six people. Please use dimensional bags to carry heavy objects."
Flint: "Sounds like instructions for use...the kind of instructions gnomes like to write on the surface of strange items after they create them. Carice Newman!"
Dwarves usually express their emotions by shouting the name of Caris Newman, but here it is obvious that he shouted this name just because Caris Newman is the patron of dwarfs and the God of Machines worshiped by dwarf craftsmen.
Yes, Flint, the dwarf, has been constantly blaspheming the main god of the dwarfs.
As for why he did this, maybe it was because Kailin liked it.
Wang: "Let me look at the other side."
He walked to the other side: "When the elevator is closed in an emergency, the energy core can be used as a key to open it."
Then he fell silent.
The rest of the team also fell silent.
Elizabeth tried to break the silence: "I remember...the one we have...is the Cyclops energy core?"
The king didn't answer, and directly took out the nuclear staff from the dimensional bag.
Seeing him take out his staff, the others either turned their heads or closed their eyes.
The moment the strong light of the staff appeared, the earth trembled.
A deep voice said: "Jiliguluwuliwala~"
Wang: "This is the language of the Cyclops. It means that the state of emergency is lifted and all functional areas are restarted."
Flint: "Where's that sound coming from? It feels like it's coming from everywhere."
Without waiting for the king to answer, the same voice said again: "Jiliguluwuliwala."
Wang translated: "When damage to the functional area is detected, maintenance machinery is dispatched. The maintenance machinery cannot be dispatched, so military machinery is started to perform maintenance tasks."
As soon as he finished translating, the stone walls on both sides of the gate retracted to the side, revealing the stone statue behind it. The stone statue had an obvious one-eye and a giant sword in its hand.
Flint looked at the two stone statues on the left and right: "Military... wouldn't it be a bit bad?"
Suddenly, the magic light source in the ruins switched to red.
Flint: "Caris Newman! I'm sure something is wrong this time!"
Then the deep voice said: "Jiliguluwuliwala!"
Wang: "'It was discovered that the slaves were holding energy cores. It was speculated that the slaves were rebellious and we started to suppress the rebellion.' You are right, dwarf!"
The one eye of the stone statue suddenly glowed! There was a "buzzing" sound when it glowed, and then the one eye moved and slid left and right along the preset planar track!
The next moment, the two stone statues started to move, and with their movements, powder continued to fall from them.
Flint: "Strike first is the best!"
He pulled out the multi-headed flail he got from Monrovia, rounded it and hit the statue's knees!
Among the five flail heads, the one glowing with green acid hit the stone statue's knee, and acid immediately spewed out of thin air.
Although the stone statue's knees were not shattered by the blow, strong acid flowed in along the cracks created by the blow, creating a large amount of smoke.
Two of the other four heads of the cannon hit the ground, and flames and lightning broke out respectively.
The remaining two heads hit the other leg of the stone statue. One emitted poison and was useless, and the other directly caused the hit area to freeze!
The most effective thing is this ice. The stone statue was about to take a step, but the ice directly caused it to fall forward——
Dwarf: "Calice Newman ahhh!"
The stone statue hit him.
However, the full-body armor he built himself had built-in support functions. As a result, the stone statue was like hitting a stone pillar. Not only did it not cause any harm to the dwarf, it actually broke off the legs that had been corroded by strong acid.
On the other side, Barbarian rushed towards another stone statue, and took the huge ax in his hand directly to the head of the stone statue. He did not use the cutting side of the ax, but used the back of the ax, so that the ax turned into a war hammer.
Obviously, Barbarian instantly judged that blunt weapons were most effective against these stone statues.
However, the barbarian's ax is not even a magic weapon, and cannot produce an immediate effect like the dwarf's five-headed flail. This ax--a hammer blow only cracks the stone statue's neck.
Xiaobai: "Let me do it instead!"
As she spoke, she turned into a giant bear and struck down with her paw, which happened to create a torque with the hammer that Barbarian had not withdrawn, and cracked the one-eyed stone statue's head off with a clang.
Elizabeth: "Eh? Is this solved?"
Flint: "No, no! This one on my side can still move, but the foot is broken!"
As he spoke, he swung the flail - however, he ignored that half of his body was covered by a stone statue, and weapons like the flail could easily be blocked during the swing.
As a result, two of the cannon heads were blocked and hit Flint himself.
Flint screamed in pain.
But the remaining three flail heads accurately hit the stone statue that was still trying to stand up on the ground.
The magic weapon played a destructive role, shattering half of the stone statue's upper body with a snap.
Elizabeth: "Uh, do you still want me to hit you on this one?"
The dwarf replied: "Heal minor wounds!"
With the activation of the healing technique, the dwarf's wounds healed immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's not as difficult as you thought."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "ding" sound in the air.
Then the light source above the central door changed from red to green.
As Wang backed away from the stone door, he shouted: "My right eyelid is twitching! It's jumping!"
At this time the door opened.
Behind the door are six red one-eyes.
Wang: "Huh? A little less?"
Then he slapped his thigh: "Fuck, this elevator can carry six people!"
