Chapter 57: Getting the Job Done

Time flies so fast, and it’s January in the blink of an eye. During this time, Steven and Kate have been copying the magic circles and runes in the 6th floor hall of the pyramid ruins and the portal hall. Before that, they had copied and painted the portal.

There were two relief maps on the wall of the hall. By comparing the printed map and the relief map, the two of them roughly calculated the proportions of the two relief maps. Although the accuracy is not enough, it can also be used as a reference for finding portals in other ruins.

This is their most important and priority job.

There was a lot to record in the hall on the 6th floor. The arrays and runes on the platforms also needed to be measured. The size of the obsidian pyramid also needed to be measured. As for the inverted pyramid on the ceiling, the two of them could not go up, so they visually inspected it and the one on the ground.

It is the same size. Steven also drew the layout of the entire 6th floor hall and the layout of the portal hall, and tried to use black and white tones to express the light pillars on the pyramid and the elemental power embodied in them, although this made him feel

Very strenuous.

Because there are 4 guards in the lobby on the 6th floor, they will inevitably be entangled by these guards every time they come in to work. This takes a lot of time for the two of them, especially when working under the platform, someone must lead the guards away.

He was only good at it, and during his work he was often interrupted by guards coming back.

The two of them also carefully observed these guardians. Their movement trajectories were basically fixed and their intelligence was not high. Of course, they could not understand many aspects of them. They speculated that the energy used by these guardians should come from obsidian.

The elemental power gathered in the pyramid is transformed into a certain form, and they do not seem to need to replenish energy in a specific place. It seems that as long as they are close to that platform, they can automatically replenish energy. This speculation also explains why those farther away from here are

The defenders of the place have become wrecks.

As for the internal structure and corresponding functions of the Guardian, Steven and the others went to the lower level to find the wreckage. After some time of research, the two gave up. Many of the less durable materials and structural devices in the wreckage had decayed.

The two of them had never seen the remaining armor and other materials before, but these armor materials were very heavy, and their defensive power was not as strong as the scales of the corpse python. High-strength defense could only be achieved by stacking them thickly.

This is of little significance to the two of them, and the real core things have been corrupted, unless they can capture a guardian active in the 6th floor hall, but the power of those things is too great, and Kate's ice elemental power acts on them

Not much, so the two decided to give up temporarily and come back to find a solution later when they have the opportunity.

The corpses of the corpse python and the zombie leader in the hall leading to the portal were dragged to the corner of the hall by the two of them. There have been no changes. The corpses are not rotten or shriveled. One month has passed and they are the same as when they were first killed.

After more than a month of busy work, the content that needs to be recorded in the ruins is finally coming to an end. The two were originally worried that they would be busy until the rainy season, but now it seems that after working overtime and staying up late, they can finally finish early.

That day in the portal hall, Steven, who had been busy all day, stood on the platform of the portal again. When a buzzing sound sounded, the runes on the inside of the door frame lit up in sequence to form a series of purple lights that connected up and down.

Steven suppressed the feeling of horror in his heart, moved slightly closer to some purple light curtains, carefully distinguished the luminous runes at the roots of the light curtains, and said to Kate who was busy below the platform: "Kate, I found these luminous runes in the door frame.

Although the runes are of the same type as those in the magic circle in the 6th floor hall, the specific content and shape are still different. These runes should work in specific functions."

Kate said below: "This is inevitable, Steven, but we don't know the specific meaning of these runes at all. To translate the meaning and content they represent may require professional scholars on the mainland.

It takes a long time of research.”

Steven tilted his head back slightly to lessen the feeling in his heart, and then said: "We have experimented with sending gophers, pheasants, bushes, branches, soil and even ice cubes and water into the

This door disappears without a trace every time. It seems that if I want to confirm whether this is a portal or not, I can only know if I walk into this light curtain and try it myself."

Kate said on the side: "This must be very dangerous! Steven, maybe it is just a pipe opening connected to a huge furnace. If you go in, you will turn into a pile of ashes. When will you get close to this door?

Besides, there won’t be a sense of fear in your heart. Your sixth sense has always been very accurate. I think you can use it as a reliable basis before taking any action."

"This sixth sense is becoming more and more acute! Kate! Of course I will not take my own life as a joke, but every time I see or approach this door, I can't control my inner curiosity and curiosity.

The desire to go in! If this is indeed a portal to a far away place, that would be amazing! Don’t you think so, Kate?”

Kate sighed under the platform and said: "Of course I will, but this is all we can do about this thing at the moment. Steven, record it, draw it, raise questions and hypothesis possibilities, and come back later.

When we get to Grant, we might also look for the ruins marked on the map to see if there is another portal there."

After Kate said this, she took out her watch from her pocket and looked at it, and said: "It's getting late, Steven, let's see if there's anything missing. From tomorrow on, we won't come in if it's not necessary."

, All the work here has been completed. Take a break these two days and have a good rest. You can go to the plains and try to see if you can hunt a deer and bring it back to us to improve our food."

Steven turned around and walked down from the platform. While packing his things, he said: "Our work on this ruins is finally completed! It's time to have a good rest for two days. I will go hunting a deer tomorrow. I will spend this month.

After working overtime, it’s time to reward our stomachs!”

Soon after, the two walked out of the ruins and came to the river to clean and relax. When the sun went down, they returned to the courtyard and lit a bonfire and began to enjoy dinner.

Kate finished a piece of barbecue, took a sip of tea, and said, "Steven, the work on the ruins is temporarily over. There is still more than a month until the rainy season. Do you have any plans or suggestions for this period?"

Steven chewed cassava flour balls in his mouth and said: "I think we can explore the rainforest area outside the ruins plain south of the Dark Mountains. Kate, the Dark Mountains separate the northern rainforest we came from. In my case,

When I first entered the fifth scroll, when my soul ascended, I saw that the area of ​​the rainforest south of the Dark Mountains was much larger than that to the north. I wanted to take a look at that time, and now I have the time and opportunity.
