Chapter 3336 The Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Thirty Nine)
Chapter 3336 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Thirty-Nine)
At the same time, in front of the entrance to the fourth underground level of Atlantis.
Elaine, Daniel and Bailey teleport through the portal to the stairwell.
As soon as he walked out of the portal, Daniel saw the cavalry parked aside: "You actually brought the cavalry to a place like this... What should you do when you retreat?"
"I'm going to throw him in the maze like this." Elaine smiled bitterly: "Now, let's think about how to survive now."
Daniel remained silent. He actually had to use a heavy weapon like an iron cavalry to break through, which proved that the strategies for the first few levels of this maze were quite difficult. Elaine even did not hesitate to move the expensive iron cavalry into this kind of maze, and planned to use it after using it.
Abandoning them in the maze is probably quite a desperate move.
He even suspected that Elaine had no intention of returning alive. This crazy little lion probably expected to die in the underground labyrinth of Atlantis from the beginning.
Only those who specifically seek death would do this regardless of the cost. Daniel had seen many such people.
He originally planned to say something to stop Elaine. But he knew that his relationship with the White Lion boy was not good enough to persuade him with a few words.
It's better to wait and see for now. It would be bad if you fail to help people and are disliked instead.
"So, you are going to let me help you drive the iron cavalry through the fourth underground floor?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah." Elaine nodded. At this time, he was already holding one hand on the control stick of the iron cavalry, started the engine of one of the iron cavalry, and let it float slightly off the ground: "No. There is no battle on the fourth floor. Drive this through.
That's fine. Just, just, it's better to be quieter. Although this is not a combat area, the golems here may be stimulated and start attacking."
"Understood." Daniel started the engine of the other iron cavalry, letting it float slightly off the ground, then pushed the iron cavalry and followed Elaine.
Two iron cavalry and three people walked quietly into the maze on the fourth underground floor of Atlantis. It is better to say that this is a maze than a database. The surrounding floors, walls and ceilings are all made of a kind of permanent ice.
It is made of a block-like material, and is engraved with various luminous characters, ancient characters that no one can understand. Although it looks like ice cubes or crystals, Daniel does not feel slippery when walking on it, probably because of the engraved words.
There are too many words to prevent slipping.
And there is no cold feeling like an icehouse here, just a little cool. These ice cubes are not like ice cubes but have strong heat conduction capabilities. Daniel can feel a coolness coming from above, and at the same time there is a sultry heat.
The feeling comes from the ground, and this location (the fourth underground layer) happens to be a kind of heat exchange interlayer, which plays an important role in conducting the heat from the deeper strata to the upper layer.
This also makes people suspect that there is something very hot deep in Atlantis that is constantly releasing heat.
Power furnace? But didn’t Elaine once say that this city floated on the sea to collect solar energy? If the collected energy is simply dissipated like this, wouldn’t it be a waste and make ends meet?
Daniel was full of doubts, but said nothing. Some small spherical golems flew around, but these iron balls with antennas were obviously not aggressive, and they completely ignored Elaine and his party.
"Hahaha, what a stupid look!" Bailey, who was sitting on the iron horse, pointed at the iron balls and said with a smile, "There is still hair on the head!"
"Although, even though it is an antenna..." Elaine wondered: "No, don't make too much noise, so as not to irritate those golems."
"Understood!" The little fox didn't understand at all, and was just laughing there. He turned around and looked at the surrounding walls. This underground layer similar to a database had countless transparent walls, and the walls were naturally engraved with luminous fonts.
Because the wall is transparent, you can see another corridor on the other side of the wall, and even see further through that wall. This makes people feel a little dizzy, and there is no way to figure out the direction to go.
"Are the carvings on this wall really information? Information about the ancient Sea Royal Clan?" Daniel asked doubtfully: "They put such a huge amount of information here, aren't they afraid of being stolen? And outsiders can come in, so they are not afraid of the database.
Got ruined?"
"No, there is no way to destroy their database." The White Lion boy replied: "All mortal attacks cannot create scars on these crystal walls."
Is it the same as the Wall of the World? Daniel thought, the technology of ancient people is really terrifying. If the same technology is used to create a golem that is absolutely indestructible, and let that kind of thing guard the dungeon, wouldn't it be unsolvable?
No. Since it is [theoretically indestructible], it must abide by certain rules in order to be indestructible. For example, it must be an immovable object, a fixed wall, floor, etc. If it were that simple
You can make absolutely invincible golems or self-disciplined weapons. People in ancient times have been invincible for a long time, and there will be no war in this world.
"By the way, what are the words described here?" Daniel asked again. Those engraved words dazzled him and he really couldn't stop looking at them, but he suffered from the fact that he could not understand their meaning at all.
"History... right?" Elaine shrugged, not sure.
"...Why do you assert that it is the history of the Sea Royal Family?"
"Because, because -" Elaine walked a little further and arrived at a slightly more open hall. He pointed to a few crystal stone tablets in front of him: "Yes, there are pictures."
There are not only a large number of ancient text inscriptions on the crystal stone tablet, but also complex patterns. The Sea King seems to be very good at using these radiant carvings to outline something, not only words, but also paintings with simple lines.
On the first stone tablet, there is a picture of a huge sphere, a planet. The planet is full of blue light and seems to have no land. It is definitely not the earth.
"The origin of life, the mother planet of the Neptune family, the planet Atlantis." Bailey muttered.
Daniel was surprised: "Can you understand those words?!"
"Hmm... just stare at it, can you understand it?" The little fox replied: "Isn't this very similar to the structure of the Old Norse language used in ancient Iceland? With the pictures and texts, you can guess some of them
What does the word mean?"
(No...you would never guess it based on my words alone.) Daniel was even more puzzled.
Elaine also stared at Bailey curiously. Bailey, a child who has received education from the Wang family since he was a child, must have systematically learned some languages in the world. There are many similarities in the European language family. If you learn it, you will be able to understand it.
Draw inferences from one example. Most of those archaeologists also use the connections between language families to reason and decipher various ancient languages.
Iceland is the country of mermaids and Vikings. Mermaids are the creations of the ancient Sea Kings, and naturally inherited their language and culture from the Sea Kings. In this way, we can use the known Old Norse language to infer the language of the Sea Kings.
It's a very reasonable approach.
"Translate, please translate?" Elaine asked: "I, I also want to know more about the ancient Sea Royal Family."
"I don't guarantee that the translation is correct? Maybe some texts cannot be translated and are broken in the middle." The little fox said with a half-serious smile.
"Just try your best, no guarantees." Elaine touched Bailey's head.
"I'll try, but my eldest brother will praise me."
"You, you are very powerful." The white lion boy said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Hehehe~" Bailey turned to look at the mural and continued to translate: "Atlantis is a blue planet surrounded by oceans, from shoals only ten feet deep to trenches ten thousand feet deep.
Everywhere is covered by the water of life. Under the light of the twin suns of Sol's solar system, everything thrives on the seabed."
(So the home planet of the Neptune Family still has two suns... won't the water on the planet evaporate due to such exposure?) Daniel was puzzled.
"Under the gestation of Mother Ocean, after hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, intelligent races finally appeared. They called themselves the Sea Royal Family. They became the masters of the sea."
Bailey turned to look at the second stone tablet. There were countless tall buildings painted on the stone tablet, but the structure of these buildings was very strange, and they were all under a line. The luminous arc seemed to be the sea level.
"After another two thousand years, their civilization gradually improved. They built their own cities on the seabed. From the shallowest tidal flats to the deepest ravines, every place was illuminated by the lights of civilization. The blue planet became an indescribable
Night Star."
(It’s completely the ocean planet’s version of human history.) Daniel thought to himself.
However, human history contains the legacy left by the ancient gods and humans - knowledge, technology and culture.
Humanity developed by standing on the shoulders of giants, so it took only a few thousand years to reach its current prosperity. The Atlanteans, who developed from scratch, naturally spent more time.
"It will be another thousand years." Bailey continued, looking at another mural. There was something incomprehensible in shape on that mural. It looked like a huge conch: "They have the space between the stars."
The technology of navigation. The spacecraft headed into the depths of the universe. They contacted, they fought, they fought, and they gained respect. They finally joined the [Parliament]."
"Parliament?" Daniel asked.
"It is composed of seven races in the Milky Way, [Galactic Parliament]." Bailey said: "One of the members is the Sea Royal Family, the stone tablet says so. The other members of the Parliament don't know, the stone tablet does not record it in detail. They seem to
No care for other parliamentary races."
Elaine knew that at least one of the council races was the ancient god-human race, and another one might be the Gaia race. The others were the Jotun giant race? No matter how many more there were, he wouldn't be able to guess.
"Then," Bailey looked at another mural, which described some kind of ominous huge thing, dragging a long tail, falling from deep space to the sea level: "The planet Atlantis, in [
Under the impact of that], destruction ushered in.
The sea evaporated instantly, gravity collapsed, and the planet fell apart. The superior and great sea royal family, the mother planet, died because of this."
"Is that a meteorite?" Elaine asked.
When he saw this mural before, he had similar imaginations. It was like an ancient legend that a meteorite destroyed a planet. But how big should that meteorite be to directly destroy a planet?
"No, it doesn't seem to be a meteorite." Bailey said. He tried to continue to detoxify, but the interpretation of the later part of the inscription became more difficult to understand: "That is...[The Destroyer], or [The Scourge of the Swallowed Stars], they
Call it this.
But it has a more appropriate name - [Heart of Catastrophe]."
Bailey obviously said the name in a very calm tone. But for some reason, Elaine still felt creepy when she heard the name.
