Chapter 238： The last survivor
As more and more clues are discovered, the secrets hidden in this ancient facility seem to be gradually unveiled, and for the well-informed Gao Wen, it is necessary to piece together the truths that have happened here. Not difficult.
Obviously, the ancient ruins that were built at the end of the Spark Age are not as simple as he initially suspected. This ruin is not a frontier development base, nor is it a taboo research institute to study the secrets of the gods. The hidden facilities in space reveal its true purpose: this is a kind of "fortress" built to resist disasters and continue human civilization.
Whether it is the "God study" in the remains of the mountains, the gods and flesh in the seal, or the dry corpses in front of the eyes and the last communication from the empire, are evidence of confrontation with the disaster.
This disaster is most likely the destruction of the "magic tide" of the Gangster Empire seven hundred years ago.
His previous speculation was confirmed: as early as the Sparks, the Magisters of the Gangster Empire realized the existence of the magic tide and prepared for it three hundred years in advance, considering the scale of the relic. Behind this whole incident, there must be support from the royal family of the year, but he still has a lot of things to understand:
If humans in the Spark Age realized the existence of the magic tide, why did this information not survive? So that when the magic tide broke out seven hundred years ago, the human empire was caught off guard and almost collapsed without resistance.
If the information stored in the communication device came from the empire after the magic wave broke out, then obviously the imperial royal family also knew the existence of this Bentham fortress, then they should have known that the magic tide is coming, but why not Take action?
Or to say... In fact, the Royal Family of the time has taken action, but there is no evidence and news.
This is not impossible, because the magic tide broke out at the center of the emperor, and the communication network of the entire kingdom was destroyed at the first moment. No one ever survived from the hinterland of the empire, even if the emperor of the time did what, I am afraid no one will know...
But in any case, a disaster that was predicted by scholars a thousand years ago, and the imperial rulers at that time carried out such a large-scale "preservation project" in private, but in the end, no intelligence survived. When the disaster really broke out seven hundred years ago, the empire was full of ups and downs, which is really difficult to understand.
Even if it is to think of "the news is leaked because of fear of causing panic", Gao Wen thinks this is too ridiculous.
In addition, he is also curious that the "survivors" in this facility were blocked in the mountains a thousand years ago, and the official outbreak of the magic tide was three hundred years after that, which was three centuries in the middle. Time, the survivors in the facility have been alive?
This is completely beyond the limits of human life. Even powerful super-experts can use magic to extend their life, but that can only be extended for two or three hundred years, but look at the contents of the communication, the people in this facility. Not only can you live for three hundred years, but even live there after that?
Despite the fact that they are all dead...
Gao Wen’s line of sight moved in the middle of the hall, trying to find more clues that might give him hints. At this time, the magic light ball at the top of the wand illuminates the surroundings, and Heti, who carefully studied the remains of the ancient magician, suddenly I found out: "The ancestor! Come and see this!"
Gao Wen came to Herti and saw that Heti was pointing at the back of one of the remains: "There is a line!"
Gao Wen frowned and read the line: "Benjamin Horston, just 1760."
The surrounding soldiers also turned their attention to those seats. Suddenly, everyone found the words that were originally ignored by them: "There are also here! And here! All the chairs have backrests!"
What Gao Wen thought of in a moment, he looked at the names written on the back of the chair one by one, and read it quickly: "Claude Pirin, just 铎 1790... Laufili Pardini, just铎1782...Melly Horston, just 铎1809...Pal Berliner, just 铎1920...”
"These are..." Hetty opened his mouth in surprise. "These people..."
"Their names, and their years of death, only have this explanation," Gao Wen said. "These people didn't die here at the same time, but they were carried here after death. The person who carried them still Write the name and death of the deceased on their seats. If I didn't guess wrong... the last person who died will complete the work, or the relay will be completed by the living."
He looked up and looked around at the semicircular hall, which had nearly a thousand seats, imagining how the survivors who had stayed here had spent the long years in their mindset: "These seats...that is Their graves..."
"Just 铎 1760... Just 铎 1790..." Hetty looked at the years in the seats and suddenly reacted. "The squad was over in 1740! The magic wave broke out that year, after that... ..."
"Yes, the earliest year we have seen is also after 1740," Gao Wen nodded heavily. "These people started to die after the eruption of the magic wave seven hundred years ago, and I am currently The most recent year I saw was just 2130 years ago, three hundred years ago."
Herti showed a sad expression: "That is, they lived at least at that time... At that time Ansu had been in the country for four hundred years... but they didn't know what was going on outside, they were sealed here, still I thought the outside world was completely destroyed..."
Gao Wen was also deeply embarrassed, but he found that the move of Tyre not far away was a bit weird: Miss Krai put the tail in a circle and supported herself to the air like a spring. She was looking around and carrying it on her face. With a hint of curiosity and alertness.
He couldn't help but curiously ask: "Til, what did you find?"
"Hey!" Miss Haiyue immediately slammed her body down. She quickly arched to Gao Wen. "I don't know if it is an illusion. I just felt that there was a magic reaction that flashed around here."
"Magic reaction?" Herti frowned. "How come I didn't feel it?"
"Are you even more powerful to have the elemental creatures sensitive to the magic?" Tyre looked at Herti disdainfully. "And there are a lot of special magical reactions that you guys can't feel at all!"
Gao Wen did not make Tyre's words a joke. He immediately opened his own magical perception skills and raised the vigilance of the surrounding soldiers. However, in the field of magical perception, he saw only a mist, no roots at all. A special magical reaction.
After turning off the magical perception, he looked at Tyre and was about to ask what the magical power of the other party was, but at this moment, a sudden alertness made him suddenly open his side and open up his hands. The long sword was in front of the same gear almost at the same time, two glaring arcs appeared in the air out of thin air, an arc was hitting the position he had just stood, and another arc hit the pioneer in a solid manner. The sword of the sword!
Two sounds, two arcs disappeared invisible, and the magical reaction that was completely hidden before was finally no longer hidden. With a strong energy fluctuation, Hetty saw a sudden emergence above the open ground at the front end of the semicircular hall. There is a shadow filled with brilliance. It is a creature with a vague human outline. His body is covered in bright thunder and lightning. Some kind of violent energy constitutes his body and internal organs, and the pieces are engraved. The armor of the rune is suspended from the surface of the creature by the air, as if it were summoned to the rune of the elemental creatures of the world, there is an incredible way to maintain the shape of this "mananthropy".
This creature emerged out of thin air. The powerful energy that escaped from his body even caused the air around him to be distorted by the burning heat. This creature is obviously full of anger and hostility. The two lightnings just mentioned are his masterpieces. Immediately after the appearance of the body, he immediately brewed a new round of attacks: two bright spherical lightnings condensed on both sides of his body!
“The ancestors were careful!” Herti instantly showed her the most powerful mana shield that she could release at the current level, and then began to sing a variety of spells that would enhance spell resistance. From the incredible creature, I feel the magic that can be described by horror. In front of this magic, she does not know how much her spell can make a difference.
The soldiers behind Gao Wen responded after a short mistake. The strange creatures were really frightening, but the conditioning caused by long-term training allowed these elite soldiers to raise their weapons in the next step. More than a dozen hot rays slammed on the strange creature that was wrapped around the electric light.
The creature probably didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and it was a series of continuous magic attacks. He was hit by mistakes, and the spherical lightning that condensed around him disappeared. The second-level burning rays obviously have no way to deal fatal damage to this powerful mana creature that may have survived for hundreds of years. His body formed by arcane energy ripples through layers of ripples, all attacks are resolved, and then new lightning The ball rejoined beside him.
However, Gao Wen has lifted the body paralysis caused by the long sword in the lightning strike in this short time difference. Before the new attack, he has raised the sword and the body has turned into a continuous afterimage in the high-speed charge. And all the afterimages are gathered in the next second to the surface of the mana creature's sword. The surface of the sword is floating with a magical brilliance, and the blade is heavily slashed on the largest piece of silver-white armor on the enemy's body surface.
At the last moment, this powerful mana creature condensed an unusually strong shield. Although Gao Wen’s attack destroyed the opponent’s shield, he did not completely open the armor. He just took the mana creature. He flew out, and the latter left a long scorch mark on the ground with a series of electric lights, and before he got up, Gao Wen had rushed up again.
The mana creature wolfed out a cross of the ice icicles, blocking the sword in Gao Wen's hands. The next second, the exclamation from his body caused Gao Wen's action to suddenly stop.
This mana creature exclaimed incredibly: "You are real?!"
Obviously, the ancient ruins that were built at the end of the Spark Age are not as simple as he initially suspected. This ruin is not a frontier development base, nor is it a taboo research institute to study the secrets of the gods.
