Chapter 974 The strange sculpture that appears again
Among the ancient relics left by the gods of Olympus, there was a strange-shaped round platform that suddenly attracted Hao Ren's attention. The round platform was gray-white, with complex decorative patterns around it, and its upper part was a smooth plane, which seemed to have once been
What is used to place something? The entire circular platform feels like the base of some kind of sculpture, except that the things originally placed on the base are missing.
"Is there anything special about this table?" Katrina couldn't help but asked curiously when she saw Hao Ren stopping next to an ordinary "stone" table.
"No... I just think it looks familiar," Hao Ren looked at the complicated patterns around the round platform. He always felt that he had seen something of a similar style before, but after thinking for a long time, he had no idea, "Do you know what this is?
"
"I'm not sure," Katrina waved her tail. "I can tell the origins of some things here, but it's hard to say for others. The Siren doesn't know much about the things in the earthly world, especially the items from the end of the mythical age.
The world was too chaotic, and both demon hunters and aliens were jealous, so we greatly reduced our communication with the above-ground world. Most of the items that fell into the deep sea during those thousand years were unexplained."
Then Katrina sighed softly: "The origins and uses of many things will never be ascertained, and the entire race of their creators has been cut off."
At this time, Lily also came over. She walked around the round platform curiously: "Katrina, this platform was like this when it was in the sea? Is there anything else on it?"
Katrina touched her chin and finally remembered some details related to this stone platform: "Oh, by the way, there used to be a severely damaged sculpture on it, but only half of the statue was left, and it wasn't long after the platform was taken in.
That half of the statue disappeared." She shook her head slightly as she spoke: "Originally, I thought the statue was integrated with the platform."
"Disappeared? Disappeared under your noses?" Hao Ren's heart moved after hearing this statement, and he vaguely thought of something.
At this time, Vivian suddenly reacted. She clapped her hands and shouted: "Ah, I remember! Last time we went to the Athens Sanctuary, we found a broken space left by the Olympus family. Isn't there a seat there?
A temple? There is a sculpture in the temple! The pattern on the platform under the sculpture is exactly the same as this one!"
Lily didn't remember what Vivian was talking about at first, but she stared at the latter's face for a while and finally realized: "Oh, yes! I also remembered it. It was bats that were carved into stone statues and offered as offerings.
That thing, right?"
Once the husky girl talked about topics related to Vivian, every sentence contained at least five plus signs. The latter couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he heard her way of describing it: "It really can't come out of a dog's mouth."
What nice words...yes, it's the 'stone statue' that I was enshrined in..."
At this moment, Hao Ren had already created quite a ripple in his heart. When he discovered the ruins of the Olympus Temple in the Athens Sanctuary, he had also been curious about why the Olympus family wanted to place Vivian's stone statue in their temple.
Although Rivivian had good relations with the Zeus family, she was not a member of the Olympus pantheon, and her relationship with the latter was far from close enough to place her statue in someone else's ancestral temple. But at that time, Hao
Before Ren and his party could find out more, the entire space collapsed and disappeared. Coupled with many things that happened after that, Vivian's mysterious stone statue was forgotten by everyone.
But he didn't expect that this thing that had been almost completely forgotten suddenly appeared again. In addition, Hao Ren had already learned a lot of information about Vivian and the Goddess of Creation. The stone platform in front of him suddenly made him
Produce an inexplicable sixth sense.
He felt that the things behind this might not be simple.
Hao Ren carefully observed around the stone platform and asked the data terminal to decipher the complicated patterns and symbols around the stone platform. At the same time, he asked Katrina: "Apart from knowing that this thing comes from the Olympus family, you don't have any information at all."
Is it gone?”
"...after Olympus collapsed, it was the last thing to fall into the sea," Katrina frowned and recalled carefully. Of course, the "Olympus" she was referring to was not the one on Earth, but the one in the past.
The peak of the same name created by the Zeus family in a different space, "According to an observer at the time, she saw a red lightning suddenly light up over the Greek Peninsula, and then the lightning shattered the cloud bridge connecting the Greek Peninsula and the Temple of the Sky.
The Olympus space was exposed and hung in the sky for several hours. Then Mount Olympus in the sky began to collapse, and the demon hunter hit a temple halfway up the mountain with a spear, causing a fire
It quickly spread towards the top of the mountain. Due to the imbalance of gravity, part of the seawater was even sucked into the sky. Then the light on the top of Olympus went out, gravity turned again, and various things fell from it. The stone platform fell at the end...
...Oh, by the way. It is said that a woman holding a golden spear and a round shield fell with the stone platform at that time, but she was burned to ashes in mid-air by a ray of sky fire from the witcher."
"...Among the main goddesses of Olympus, only Athena uses a spear and a buckler, and the last temple that collapsed happened to be Athena's temple," Vivian frowned slightly. She bent down and touched it with her hands.
On the edge of the stone platform, "I have been in contact with the Zeus family for many years, but what are they secretly studying..."
Before she finished speaking, the stone platform suddenly emitted a ray of light, interrupting all her movements!
When Vivian's fingers touched a certain rune on the stone platform, an ancient spell seemed to be activated. Those mysterious and complex lines came alive in an instant, and little bits of light flowed in the gaps between the runes.
The entire pedestal was quickly lit up. Just when Hao Ren and the others were stunned and didn't know what was happening, a large number of gray-white particles emerged from the surroundings and condensed on top of the pedestal in the blink of an eye.
A lifelike statue of a goddess appeared on the stone platform. This statue was luxuriously dressed, the same height as a real person, and the details of her appearance were lifelike. It was none other than Vivian.
Katrina looked at the scene in front of her in stunned silence. She had just said that there was a broken sculpture on the stone platform, but the sculpture disappeared long ago. At this time, she suddenly realized that the sculpture was probably not broken.
It flew away, but after the runes below stopped functioning, the sculpture hid itself!
"What is this... a holographic projection device developed by the gods of Olympus..." Hao Ren saw such a statue for the second time, but he calmed down a lot, "Vivian, what did you just do?"
"I just touched it," Vivian was also confused. "Did it just sense me and activate it on its own?"
"The question is what is the meaning of such a thing?" Hao Ren used the data terminal to take pictures of the stone platform, and finally determined that this thing had no function at all except forming the image of Vivian. "The statue on it cannot be moved.
Replacement, there are no hidden mechanisms in the stand... To put it bluntly, it is a one-to-one Vivian figure, but the image is quite realistic."
Vivian thought about it for a while, thinking that her own high-end figures were just left in other people's homes, and there were more than one of them. She immediately crossed her arms and got goosebumps all over her body: "Why do I suddenly feel a chill."
Lily glanced at her with a strange expression: "To be honest, Zeus doesn't have a crush on you, does he?"
Vivian quickly waved her hand: "Don't make trouble, didn't I tell you that this was researched by Athena..."
Lily's expression became even weirder: "...If Athena has a crush on you, the situation will become more serious, okay!"
"Can you guys say something useful?" Hao Ren finally couldn't stand these two living treasures anymore, "Especially Lily, a statue can make you so dirty... hmm? What is this?"
Hao Ren's attention was suddenly attracted by a line of small words on the edge of the stone platform. He read it carefully and spent a lot of effort to roughly spell out the words that were already somewhat damaged:
Build connections with...avoid disasters...
Many of the letters on it are incomplete, making it difficult to piece together a complete meaning, but one or two can still be guessed from the remaining words. The meaning of this sentence seems to be to establish a connection with some kind of "existence" to avoid disaster. And see
The statue of Vivian on the stone platform seems to be completely certain who the incomplete predicate in this sentence refers to.
Everyone was a little dazed after seeing this line of text, and all of their eyes fell on Vivian. Lily held it in for a long time and said: "Bat, they seem to plan to trust you to keep them safe..." (To be completed)
