Chapter 44: The Ancient Battlefield

"Black, glowing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The half-dragon wisdom after the awakening of the bloodline has also made great progress, at least it can fully understand Joshua's simple command, after the warrior gave the order, the core of the black chest began to flash with the brilliance of magic power, and the fire element in its body operated, emitting a golden-red light.

The vast area of the bottom of the lake was illuminated by this light, and in some areas there were even a few bright crystal reflections, and Joshua noticed that in addition to the red boulder in front of him, there were many similar dark red rocks scattered around, but the one in front of him was the largest, and the magic reaction was also the strongest.

"Let's open it and take a look."

After thinking for a while, the warrior stretched out his right fist, and then struck it lightly and heavily on the blood-condensed rock, which was the size of half a castle, and a soft force shook its internal structure, gently shattering the surface of this multi-layered sedimentary rock, turning it into countless fine crystallized rock powders.

The huge rock was shattered by repeated blows from the warriors, and at the end of each blow, Joshua would carefully observe what was contained in the scattered dust.

And a little later, after shattering half of the structure of the Bloodrock, he finally saw what he wanted to see.

“…… It's a strange sight. ”

With the muttering of the warriors, the shock caused by the collapse of the giant rock was transmitted back and forth at a depth of six hundred meters, and the slowly falling red rock chips emitted a dim glow of magical crystal dust.

Under the golden red light of the core of the black chest, countless strange things appeared in this dark red boulder, which had been completely assimilated by the magic crystal, and became something similar to crystals, and they were scattered on the blood-colored boulder, circulating with brilliant magical colors.

And according to Joshua's experience over the years, these are all corpses.

Countless crystallized bones, wrapped in red blood rocks, are now unrecognizable in their former form, but they can roughly distinguish their race.

The corpses were so intact that they were indistinguishable from the real thing, except for the lack of flesh and blood, there were horses, people, and even the obvious bones of the dragon species, and the warrior squinted his eyes and swept over the bones, and he found something new.

It was a skull-richly preserved piece of weapons and armor.

Sealed in the rocks, moistened by the magic of the Magic Crystals, these fragments of weapons and armor, perhaps from the previous era, have all crystallized, remaining in the same twisted form as they were before they were wrapped, worn or stuck in other equally crystallized corpses, as if time were frozen in the final moments of the battle.

"The Mana Crystal preserves these things......"

As if thinking of something, Joshua turned his head to look at the other places, the magic crystals that were hidden under dust and silt, rocks and turbidity crystals, and he whispered to himself, "This is the ancient battlefield? ”

Could it be that some of the magic crystals he and Moria saw last time weren't real ore veins, but assimilated ancient corpses?

This is indeed a very possible thing, and it also explains why the magic in the glacial lake is so cold and dead, and there has been no biological activity for many years - the breath from the ancient battlefield rejects the approach of all living things, and even subtly changes the properties of the crystal veins.

Joshua felt that the secret hidden in the palm print lake under the snow-capped mountain of Nissière might even be bigger than he imagined.

"You can find this kind of thing at any college address, should it be said that the predecessors and future generations have the same vision? I think it's a good place. ”

Continuing to get closer, Joshua walked up to the front of the corpses and weapons, and touched the crystallized ancient beings with his hand, carefully discerning the traces on them.

The bones of a man, the bones of a horse, the bones of a dragon, I don't know what kind of monster bones, armor, swords, shields, he didn't let go of one, each one carefully observed, remembering the lines on it.

"This kind of design style seems to have been seen somewhere."

When he could distinguish the lines on a large shield that seemed to have been dented by something, an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into Joshua's heart, and he frowned and thought, "Yes...... This snake looks like ......"

"The Twin Serpent Rings of Fire!"

Joshua remembered the transcendent magical item that Verdani had given him.

But how so? A magic ring forged in the Starfall Era, no matter how powerful it is, cannot bear any resemblance to the legacy equipment of the previous era, but why is the pattern on this shield so similar to the appearance of the Double Snake Ring?

"Wait, I remember......" Joshua suddenly recalled the results of the system's identification of the Flame Twin Serpent Ring a long time ago.

[-For the flame snakes, there is nothing more worthy of follow-up than fire. It is an imitation of an ancient relic, from among the wind-swept sand dunes of the Shimmering Desert. 】

The Shimmering Desert is a vast desert area in the western part of the Mycrof Continent, which is said to be a place of extinction of life cursed by the gods, where there are countless ruins of ancient times, and there is a famous city of scholars and a ruins research organization [Ancient Light] around the desert.

It is worth mentioning that in the flickering desert, the first place where the ruins were found was a huge sinkhole called [Secluded Eye], where the sand and gravel were melted into dark green crystals by the unknown high heat of the ancient period, and the strange magic stopped all the flow of wind, which is one of the few places where travelers can rest in this desert.

When viewed from the sky, the sinkhole looks like a city-sized green pupil.

The dark eye of the sinkhole - the deep lake of the snow-capped mountain palm print.

Except for one that was filled with melting snow and snow, and the other that was deep in the gravel, there seemed to be no difference between the two in essence, they were both equally deep, hiding many secrets, the ancient ruins in the dark eye, and the ancient battlefield under the snow-capped lake of Nissière, were indeed similar.

"It seems that there are similar ruins all over the world, you know, there are quite a few similar sinkholes and ruins on the continent of Microf."

Joshua pondered as he swam in the lake, rummaging around for other small pieces of bloodrock and shattering them, observing their presence.

There were some that didn't have anything in them, but most of the blood rocks, or under the blood rocks, there were well-preserved corpses and crystallized weapon armor, and he swept away the silt and sedimentary rocks, observing the magic crystals underneath, and after careful identification, Joshua had to admit that the layer of magic crystals on the surface was indeed shaped like twisted bones and various weapons.

This may have been a psychological effect, but Joshua believed that his eyes could not go wrong - the entire bottom of the Palm Print Lake was a battlefield in ancient times, thanks to the effect of the magic crystal veins, some information from the lost three hundred years of the last era was preserved, and the blood left by the unknown giant creature was solidified into rock, like amber to stop the time of those corpses and weapons at the moment of the end of the battle.

Although the materials were assimilated by the Mana Crystals into crystal-like beings, their shape did not change in the slightest.

Another piece of blood was shattered, and Joshua thought there was nothing in it, but an unexpected light flashed in his eyes.

"Spiral crystal?"

Reaching out and taking a piece of pure white crystal that suddenly popped out of the blood rock debris, Joshua felt a familiar surge of power in his hand, and subconsciously recalled the crystal disc that Atanis used to convert holy light when he first treated his arm, and the two were surprisingly similar to the touch.

This is not surprising, the last time they infiltrated with Moria, they also found an uncarved spiral crystal, but after a few seconds, the warrior was surprised to realize that the pure white crystal in his hand was fundamentally different from the spiral crystal.

"This is not the power of the Light...... This is the power of order! ”

Joshua's eyes widened in surprise, her red eyes stared at the white crystal tightly, and her hands couldn't help but hold it firmly, not daring to relax for a moment. Before he could utter his second emotion, the warrior noticed that the Azure Orb on his chest had reacted again.

"Order Crystals? There is such a thing?! ”

Even in the water, Joshua couldn't help but gasp, he had only seen the Burning Sun Crystal, the Frost Gem, the Jade Heart, the Radiant Crystal and other natural elements condensed gem crystals before, but the special power of the power of order crystallized, but he had never heard of it.

On the side, Hei also swam to the side of the warrior, around this sea dragon, the huge fire element continued to flow, transforming the cold lake water into a hot current on the verge of boiling, Joshua held the order crystal in one hand, and touched the head of his mount with the other, he listened to Hei let out a comfortable dragon groan, and thought with a frown: "The crystallization of the power of order proves that there was once an extremely high concentration of the power of order here. ”

"And the bottom of the lake is obviously an ancient battlefield, countless people, the corpses of war horses are enough to prove this, and the blood of some huge creature has also congealed into rocks here."

The black-haired warrior muttered to himself at the bottom of the lake, and he began to speculate based on the existing clues: "Nostradamus and I also feel that the space-time barrier of the Northland is extremely weak, and the precursor to the arrival of the Great Demon Tide, the demonic energy has become thicker than that of other regions, and it is obvious that it has come, and the evil god has also left a space-time passage here. ”

"Near the Lost Sea, there are also empires - no, not built by the Empire, but by ancient fortresses discovered and maintained by the Empire."

All the clues were converging, Joshua stared at the crystal in his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "My family holds the Azure Orb, which is a holy weapon against the Chaos Evil God, while the Northern Land was a battlefield for order and an unknown enemy for a thousand years ago, and in the lost three hundred years......

Everything proves one thing, and in the end, he came to a shocking, yet plausible conclusion.

"The lost three hundred years may be the time when human civilization and the evil gods fought in the Glorious Age, and the Northland, where the Shining Desert and other ancient ruins are located, is the battlefield at that time?"
