Chapter 756: The Ruins of Shuangxi City
Not long after leaving the tunnel exit, ruins began to appear on both sides of the canyon.
Judging by the architectural style as well as the location.
It's almost the same as the dilapidated buildings on the other side.
ββ¦β¦β
"You guys go down there, and I'll go up and have a look."
"Branch...... Crawford, you take care of everyone. β
The focus of this trip is on the ruins, which Ronald could not have overlooked.
After instructing the others to move on.
He climbed the wall with one hand, and in just a few leaps he went up a hundred meters from the near-vertical cliff wall, and then he rolled over and jumped into the dilapidated building.
ββ¦β¦β
Below, Ina, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but murmur:
"It's ...... Spells that increase the power of jumping? β
Meghan on the side also expressed her opinion:
"I didn't feel the fluctuation of mana, it should be that his own physical fitness is strong enough."
"It's outrageous......"
On the other hand, Ronald was also a little stunned after successfully entering the ruins.
The first thing he noticed was not the dilapidated buildings in front of him, but the top of the canyon.
The ability of the [Astrolabe] to automatically record the terrain comes with feedback.
Although it appears to be an open space, the entire top of the terrain is completely obscured by one-way light-transmitting material.
ββ¦β¦β
Ronald pondered for a moment......
Except for the tunnel into the canyon, the other terrain does not look like an artificially opened place.
In other words, it may be that the Nigal people found the place and then artificially added a 'roof' here, which is why it created such a special environment.
"Is it just to hide......
Muttering about the possibility of such an arrangement, Ronald continued to search the surrounding ruins.
Most of the buildings are located around the edge of the cliff, and there are few cases where they go directly into the mountain, and these buildings are connected to each other by a long corridor, forming a very slender building complex.
"Dwellings, merchants, this is a place to rest......"
Keeping pace with his companions below, Ronald made his way through the ancient ruins. After continuing for a distance, he finally saw something different from before in a relatively narrow pass.
- It was two sets of human bones lying on either side of the pass.
- Only the shabby clothes remained on them.
ββ¦β¦β
The terrain is narrow, and the two of them stand in the left and right directions.
These two men were either the guards in charge of the place, or they were guarding the place, trying to block some enemy from passing through here.
Ronald leaned closer to take a closer look.
Although the ash here is so severe that it looks like a deserted place that has not been set foot on for hundreds of years, the fatal wounds left on the bones still tell the story of what happened.
On the left side - there are two deformed and cracked sections of the spine in the lumbar spine, and there is an elongated penetrating wound in the skull, which are the two most fatal wounds.
On the right side - the rib that protects the heart is also broken, and the skull also has a completely consistent penetrating injury.
Look at the clothes that are vaguely recognizable.
Except for the decayed parts, there are hardly any sharp scratches on the fabric.
The result was clear - the two men were supposed to have been routed head-on by the enemy, and then they were stabbed in the head in the same way to ensure their complete death.
"Possess a strong frontal attack ......"
Confirming the condition of the two bodies, Ronald kept up with the progress of his companions below.
This pass seems to be the dividing line between the tomb and the ruins.
After crossing here, corpses began to appear frequently in various locations of the ruins, and there was an absolutely fatal penetrating wound to the skull of men, women, and children, regardless of gender.
- The attacker can use this attack frequently, even as a mending knife.
- and resolute, without any mercy for the enemy.
If Ronald is not mistaken.
To be able to get information from Sellyer, an ordinary explorer, the Nigalics should be a race that still existed after the Dark Ages, right?
Therefore, the situation in the ruins should have happened after the Dark Ages.
What really happened in this place during the time when the means of the mysterious side were severely restricted?
ββ¦β¦β
Ronald's confusion didn't last forever.
Just a few minutes of continuing in this quiet burial field, he came to a fairly open cliff platform.
Considering the difficulty of building open buildings here, as well as the series of buildings that have just been experienced.
In this special city founded by the Nigales.
The importance of this platform can be seen.
ββ¦β¦β
"Looks like I'm lucky?"
Ronald glanced around and soon saw something that could be obtained.
On the outer side of the platform, a billboard-like shelf stands on the ground.
This thing is also very fortunate not to be completely destroyed by time.
Ronald walked in to inspect several stone slabs that were exquisitely crafted and even carved with textured edges, and were nailed to them in order with stone nails.
The very characteristic stone slab in front of you is what the Nygars use to announce information, and the solid material also ensures that most of the information on it is intact.
At this moment, Ronald's ability to understand the language is in effect again.
γCelebration of the Founding of the City - After a long journey of five years, the great new king of Niagal led us to find a shelter here. Under the inspiration of the spirits of the ancestors, the city that belonged to the king was named Sungai City. γ
[Warning - Recently, there have been frequent wars in the outside world, and Sungai City will be closed, prohibiting all outings except for the guards......]
[Opening Notice - The ban on going out will be officially lifted from now on. At the same time, the great king received a revelation from the spirit of the ancestors, and the discussion of rituals and other acts would bring disaster to the city, so ordinary citizens were forbidden to discuss it in the future......]
In gratitude for the birth of a new prince β a great royal family has given birth to a new life, Sungai City will be celebrating for three days. γ
γNew King - Following the revelation of the Ancestral Spirit, Prince Neil Ram will become the new king of Sungai City......
[Ancestral Revelation - Suspend the sacrificial activities in the city for two months. γ
Probably because of Nigal's customs, even if the slate was nailed to the end of the period, it was not dismantled by later generations, but was left on it as a memorial and symbol.
Ronald just swept over cursoryly.
It gives you a general idea of the founding of the city and the many important events that took place later.
Just what's on this billboard.
It has ended forever at the last Patriarchal Revelation.
"Suspend the worship activities in the city for two months...... Could it be that the fall of the city has something to do with this so-called sacrificial activity? β
Ronald was muttering a question.
But it's also right now.
A sudden fluctuation of mana appeared below.
Ronald could tell very clearly - it was Kostadt's reaction to activating the spell!
