The first thousand six hundred and forty-eight chapters go to the ruins
After saying good night, the magician lady waved the wand in her hand, and then her body floated towards the outer wall of the tower, as if she were stepping on flat ground, along the tower wall towards her laboratory and bedroom at the top of the tower.
After she left, Nangong Sanba sighed: "Ah ha, I didn't expect that Miss Lia is still an atheist."
"Strictly speaking, they are disrespectful and defiant," Vivian corrected seriously, "Atheism means not believing in the existence of God at all, while Leah is the one who doesn't have much respect for God regardless of whether God exists or not. This is actually normal.
, Magicians are a group that is prone to indifference in faith. After all, they themselves study the laws of nature and the truth of the universe. Naturally, they are not willing to set up a god to explain everything. This is not in line with the way of thinking of researchers."
"It's really dramatic." Hao Ren looked up at the sky. The Broken Heaven had now left the highest point of the night sky and was slowly sliding to the other side of the sky along the trajectory from east to west, gradually being hidden in the sea of stars.
, "The place where the Kingdom of God fell, the place where the goddess of creation has the strongest influence, has now given birth to scholars like Leah. No wonder Raven 12345 once lamented that the gods are just property owners. As long as the water pipes have not leaked for two consecutive months.
, residents can forget that there is a property in their community..."
Nangong Wuyue curled her lips and did not comment on the goddess sister's distinctive metaphor. She and Hao Ren looked up at the fragmented celestial body with an uncertain tone: "Landlord, do you think those are really the founding stars?"
Any remnants of it?”
"I'm just guessing," Hao Ren said, "After all, we don't know how many celestial bodies were dragged into the dark realm when the Founding Star exploded, and we don't know whether those celestial bodies that were dragged in were related to the Founding Star.
The stars are also torn apart, so those floating in the sky may be the founding stars, or they may be something else. The biggest problem now is that Nolan cannot leave the atmosphere, and cannot even get out of the detector. Optical observation can
I saw too little.”
Nolan had been silent since just now, and then the connection was restored: "Boss, I was just using an optical detector to observe the celestial fragments, and I did find artifacts in the parts of them facing Lahirian.
The wreckage seems to be some kind of pedestal, which has been severely damaged. In addition, small pieces of building fragments were also observed in the space between the wreckage, which may be the temple of the goddess of creation."
Hao Ren pondered for a moment: "Hmm... This adds some credibility to the hypothesis that the 'Shattered Heaven' floating over Lahirien is the remains of the Founding Star."
Nangong Wuyue shook the tip of his tail: "Isn't the surface of the founding star covered with a layer of red sea water? Has it all evaporated?"
Yzaks nodded: "It's hard to say. With such a large-scale energy explosion, even the entire planet was torn into pieces. The probability of the liquid Sea of Origin being completely evaporated is quite high, but the Sea of Origin is not a real
Seawater is not standard source blood, who knows what its physical properties are like?"
Hao Ren thought for a while and began to assign tasks: "Nolan, you continue to try to launch probes into space, and at the same time collect various physical parameters of this 'Lahrien' continent, and try to find out the reason why you cannot leave the atmosphere. At the same time,
Don’t stop tracking the Broken Heaven Kingdom, and find a way to plot the relative trajectory between it and the Lahirion Continent. In this way, even if we are trapped in the atmosphere, we can at least produce a rough celestial model. Others should continue.
Act according to the original plan, follow Leah to the Great Tunnel, and see if you can find out the historical reasons why the world has evolved into what it is today."
The next night passed peacefully.
By the time we set off the next day, it was already noon.
The group of people enjoyed a not rich but delicious lunch in Leah's mage tower, and then followed the magician lady to the open space in front of the mage tower. Leah took out something from the pocket of her faded old robe.
He made an exquisite brass carriage model, chanting a spell while throwing the model on the ground. With a strange creaking sound, the palm-sized brass model turned into a fully structurally complete model in front of everyone's eyes.
carriage.
There was even a bronze horse assembled in front of the carriage, which was assembled with gears, springs, springs and levers.
"Isn't it amazing?" Seeing the surprised expressions on Hao Ren's and others' faces, Leah looked very proud, "This is something I made myself based on the ancient documents found in a certain ruins. Tsk, those idiots still
They always laugh at my research, they have no idea how much valuable knowledge there is in those ancient relics waiting for people to dig out."
No, no, Miss Mage, what those people are laughing at is just the risk of every action you take and the price you offer for it...
Hao Ren resisted the desire to complain in his heart and watched Leah skillfully inspect the gears and clockwork of the alchemy bronze horse, and then embedded new mana crystals on the back of the bronze horse. After a few minutes of tossing, the bronze horse made a piercing sound.
It neighed, and the connecting rods and bearings in its belly started to rotate happily.
"Let's go~" Leah turned over and jumped on the carriage, and at the same time extended her hand to invite Elizabeth, who was standing next to Yzaks, "There is room for one more person to sit on this, little kid, come with me."
Elizabeth suddenly became furious: "You are the child! You will be a child all your life!"
"Tch, if you don't want to sit down, you won't sit down. But you don't have to worry about walking with me all the way to your destination. Let's go to the carriage house in the west first and rent a horse for each of you. The place we want to go is not close."
Miss Magician was obviously in a very good mood. As if to show that she had recruited a group of people, she even drove the highly eye-catching brass carriage and circled around the entrance of the Mercenary Union.
At the same time, he blew the car's whistle loudly. Hao Ren was quite suspicious that if this guy were driving on earth, he would become a high-beam dog and horn dog, the kind that would be beaten to death within ten meters of the road.
After some strenuous efforts, Leah started to get down to business. She helped Hao Ren and his party prepare their horse luggage, and then went to the store to replenish some commonly used spellcasting materials and dry food for travel. In the end, she almost sold mercenaries in the city.
We left this place with everyone's greetings.
The expressions on the faces of the mercenaries who came to see him off after hearing the news were "It's best to die and never come back".
It's not easy for a person to be as angry as Leah.
The towering walls of White Maple Leaf City gradually faded away from the field of vision. Not long after the group left the city, they left the main road and began to follow Leah's guidance on the paths and even animal paths that few travelers set foot on. They looked at the direction of progress.
, this route seems to be parallel to the mountain trend of Changfeng Ridge.
Leah's wonderful alchemy carriage once again showed its incredible side: it seemed heavy, but it could drive extremely smoothly on the rugged paths, and the bronze horse driven by gears and springs walked smoothly on the deserted paths.
Walking on flat ground is even better than a real horse.
"This is an indispensable thing for me to travel around," Leah pulled down the foldable roof on the carriage, which made it easier for her to chat with Hao Ren and his entourage who were riding beside her. Miss Magician
He patted the fender of the carriage proudly, "I rode it to the deep mountains of Changfengling, to the hinterland of the Great Plains, and even passed through the Changfengling Tunnel, and to the Hercule tribe on the other side of the mountains.
Country. Ah, only when you go out will you realize how big this world is. Compared with the real world, what you can see in books is just a drop of water in the endless sea. Those who lock themselves in the magic tower all day long
Diehards will never understand."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Hao Ren with a smile: "Of course, you adventurers who run around all day must have more say in this regard than me."
Looking at the innocent and cheerful smile on Miss Magician's face, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of her heroic demeanor when she was scolding a group of people at the entrance of the mercenary union.
They are simply two completely different people.
It seems that except for things that really make her angry, this magician lady is still very approachable when dealing with friends or areas of interest.
Of course, the ruins that Leah is looking for cannot be in a place where people come and go. In fact, the real distance between it and White Maple Leaf City is even further than what Leah originally described.
The group trekked in the wild for two full days.
At noon on the third day, they finally arrived at the entrance of a forest.
This is a dense jungle close to the Changfengling Mountains. The mountains turn a corner here, forming a sunken bow-shaped "haven", and towering ancient trees thrive in this shelter, lush and full of vitality.
Countless ancient trees that are a hundred years old or more stand here. The dense canopy blocks the sunlight, making the entire forest always as dim as dusk. Even though it is noon, Hao Ren and his party still feel as though they are not long after entering the forest.
It's almost evening.
Soon, they reached an area where ordinary horses could not go any deeper: the overgrown vines and rotten leaves made it increasingly difficult to walk on horseback. Instead of riding on a shaky horse, it was better to trust their own legs.
After all, those standing here are not ordinary people.
Nangong Sanba used Leta runes to carve restrictions on the surrounding tree trunks to prevent horses from running around or wild beasts coming in and injuring everyone's mounts, while Leah reshaped the brass carriage into a palm-sized one and carefully took it back.
Put it in her pocket. Before leading everyone to continue to advance into the dense forest, she specifically mentioned: "It will be a bit dangerous to go further. According to the records, the ruins are not completely underground, part of it is
If exposed, this is likely to cause magical energy to leak out, and the creatures in the forest will become aggressive as a result."
Lily muttered: "...It's really an old-fashioned setting."
Leah didn't hear clearly for a moment: "Ah?"
Lily quickly rounded off her words: "Oh, I mean we are experienced!"
Hao Ren did not participate in the conversation. He just concentrated on carefully sensing any disturbance in the forest.
Because he didn't know if it was an illusion, but from the moment he entered this place, he always felt a sense of dissonance lingering in his heart. This feeling is difficult to describe, if I have to say it...
It was like suddenly falling into a slight trance, not knowing why I was standing in this place, and feeling baffled by what was happening around me. It seemed that some kind of force was blocking my thinking and making my spirit sluggish.
