my age of magic

Chapter 1629 178. Altar
……

It is impossible to make out what period of history the city came from. The streets and walls were reduced to rubble, and moss grew on the ruined walls after the collapse of the boulder buildings. Ancient human bones are not found anywhere, not even large beasts are hiding here.

A savage slave pushed aside a piece of wild grass and disturbed a poisonous snake with black and white ring stripes. It was frightened and hurriedly burrowed into the crevice of the stone.

The flying dragons entrenched here were slaughtered, and the deterrent aura of the dragons above their heads disappeared all of a sudden, and the little beasts living near the ruins were having fun in the wilderness. Before there were no high-level monsters occupying this land, here There will be a brief period of loss of control, and there must be some monster lords in the neighborhood peeping here, and they will fight for this piece of land.

But those... should be after we leave.

Several red-billed chaffinches pass overhead, and there are few trees in the ruins. From here, you can see the blue sky of the wild swamp. It is said that ancient ruins often hide altars handed down from ancient times, but I think things are too simple.

I never thought that the ruins of this city would be so big. The ruins in the east of the Great Rift Valley alone are as large as the seventh block, the largest of the seven major blocks in the imperial capital, and it looks very deserted, with many abandoned buildings and streets. They are all covered with thick moss. Sometimes to identify whether a certain place is the altar we are looking for, we have to clean up the moss by hand to expose the stone slabs inside to be able to identify it.

In less than two days, we covered most of the eastern part of the ruins of the city, and found that some building stones here were carved with a writing that I had never seen before. These writings seemed to me more like A kind of pure ancient magic runes. I don't even dare to draw those magic runes casually. I feel dizzy just by looking at them. Those rune-like words contain a powerful power.

At the same time, the relief style on the top of the buildings in this city is very different from that of the Green Empire.

There are many kinds of reliefs on the top of the buildings in the Green Empire, but basically there are only a few types:
The sculptors of the Green Empire like to carve the scenes of the Kingdom of God on the top of the sky dome of the building, such as the scene of the Statue of Liberty and the servants crowning the king of angels in the cloud city, the gods in the Kingdom of God and Hades, the god of death, The scene of the battle between Thanatos, the king of hell, and the king of Titans, as well as the scene of the deep love between the goddess Celine and the water god Eva sisters, in short, master sculptors like to engrave the supreme power of this world on the top of the building.

There will be relief images of the Dragon Kingdom on the dome of some temples, and elves craftsmen like to carve a huge world tree in many solemn places, extending from the root of the tree to the top of the tree, almost filling the entire wall.

The relief on the top floor of the building here basically only depicts two pictures, one is a seraph with white wings spread out, and the other is a great demon with long horns on its head.

That's right, they are the top-level archangels and archdemons.Sometimes they seem to be fighting endlessly, and sometimes their limbs are intertwined. The pain and pleasure between fighting and sex do not seem to be easy to distinguish in these reliefs.

Ying Li stood in front of the stone wall, holding a skinning knife and gently peeled off the moss on the stone slab, and some reliefs appeared in front of her.

Since I am a Nephalan, Yingli has also learned a lot of information about the Nephalan in the recent period. She looked at the reliefs on the stone wall seriously, and while observing carefully, she couldn't help but said to me: " This place seems... It seems to record the civilization of the ancient Nephalan, and this lost city should be a certain city of the Nephalan."

At this time, Teacher Heidi, who had always been taciturn, also stood in front of the stone slab and said for the first time, "These runes that make us dizzy are probably written by the Nephalan."

Morayal next to Teacher Heidi said to me: "Jijia, try it, maybe you can learn to write them..."

Standing in front of the relief, I didn't dare to look directly at these magic words, and I would feel dizzy and dizzy every time.

I said to Moraya: "I actually feel the same as you, and I feel dizzy just looking at it."

In front of Yingli, Moraya basically wouldn't act intimately with me, and she didn't even want to make eye contact with me. If it wasn't for the fact that she was still very intimate with me when she was alone occasionally, I would even think that Moraya had already Empathize.

I chased after her eyes, but Moraya used Teacher Heidi's body to separate her skillfully. Teacher Heidi's eyes fell on the stone carvings on the wall, and said: "This city seems to exist in the ancient Nephalan. When I was growing up, look at these runes carved on the stone slabs, forget it, or don’t read them, I’m a little dizzy too!”

She pressed her thumb and middle finger on her temples and rubbed them vigorously, her brows were furrowed together, and it seemed that there was some pain in the brows.

I guess it was probably because of the impact of spiritual power when I forcibly interpreted those magic words.

"These stone gates are generally four or five meters high. It seems that the ancient Nephalan should be some small giants, and their height should be about the same as that of a barbarian." Relief, she smiled at me after she finished speaking, two charming dimples appeared on her face.

In the past few months, her appearance has changed subtly, probably because we get along all day long, so I don’t think she has changed, but I think she has become prettier recently...prettier...beautiful again !

I glared at Ying Li and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Ying Li's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, she covered her mouth, tried to smile as reservedly as possible, and asked me: "Are you sure...you are also a Nephalan?"

When she asked me this sentence, her eyes kept looking at me from head to toe, obviously questioning me.

Looking at the tall Nephalem reliefs on the stone wall, I didn't have the slightest confidence in my identity, I just said vaguely: "Maybe, I'm not absolutely sure."

Moraya, who was standing aside, sighed: "You said that they disappeared all of a sudden?"

"You mean the Nephalem?" I asked back.

Our group walked along this unknown stone wall for a long distance. This should be the inner corridor of a certain building, but after the building collapsed, those stone walls had collapsed into countless waste stones, but this The stone wall of the first cloister has been preserved, and now we are walking along the cloister while constantly looking at the relief patterns on the stone wall.

There are still quite a lot of information left here. First of all, some Nephalan people are drawn on the stone wall, as if describing their lives.

Moraya glanced at me across Teacher Heidi, and then said: "Yes! If it weren't for the traces of their lives recorded in this ruins, I would even feel that they never existed. Those historical documents in the library Very little is said about them."

A group of us walked and chatted, walking through the ruins of the ruins, and did not feel boring at all.

There is a lot of information hidden on the stone walls of the inner corridor, and we are slowly observing it as we walk.

At this time, Katerina and Kalancuo never talk to each other. On the contrary, the topic we talked about, Senior Erika, aroused strong curiosity. She said: "It seems...they seem to have nothing to do with our lives different..."

During this time, Sister Su and Annie got very close to Senior Sister Erica. Hearing what Senior Sister Erica said, Su pointed to a slightly complete mural in front and said that Senior Sister Erica said, "Forget it. Come on, look here..."

"What is this?" Senior Erika looked seriously at the relief Su pointed at.

At this time, Helena and Becky couldn't help but lean over, and Helena said casually, "This should be a mural in a restaurant!"

Before Helena could finish speaking, her beautiful eyes kept widening and she said, "My God, why did they put a Nacoma warlord on the dining table?"

Becky beside Helena also commented: "Their tastes are really... unique."

Helena ran to my side at this time, hugged my arm, and asked me: "Ji Jia, do you occasionally have the urge to eat Nacoma people?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for my answer, I let out a 'puchi' and laughed out loud.

"..."

I looked at her speechlessly, wanting to pinch her tender cheeks hard.

Our group did not gain much from the ruins of the building with the inner corridor. We could only turn over these dilapidated abandoned stone steps. Just at the edge of the wide crack, a bigger ruin appeared in front of us.

Looking at the ruins piled up like a hill, many people couldn't help exclaiming.

Seeing that the outline of the ruins in front looked like a pentagonal building, I went to the front of the crowd, found a huge stone and stood on it, and said to everyone: "Okay, do you think the huge ruins in front will be Is it the altar we are looking for?"

Everyone looked at this ruin one after another. The huge stones were covered with weeds, and this place was close to a large crack. Dozens of rivers converged here from all directions. Those rivers really flowed as the lizardman nobleman Inzaghi said. After entering this big crack, dozens of waterfalls of different sizes appeared when viewed from a height.

"...This should be a building in the center of the city, but definitely not an altar."

Yingli stood on the boulder beside me, looked at the ruins in front of me, and said to me.

We began to search for clues on the ruins of the largest building so far, and suddenly heard Helena shouting loudly from a distance: "Hey, everyone, come and see what I found!"

Helena was standing on a flat bluestone slab. We walked over and saw that she was using a long sword in her hand to clean off the moss under her feet.

Gradually, a rough outline emerged on the stone floor under his feet.

Becky stood beside Helena and shouted: "Oh my God! This huge stone slab seems to be a city map. I know it. This must be the city hall!"

Helena also shouted quite excitedly: "Look for it, look for it, maybe you can find the altar from here. Speaking of which, altars are one of the indispensable and important elements in ancient cities."

It didn't take long before I heard Becky shout: "I found it, here, this should be the...northwest corner of the city!"

At this time, all of us have gathered together, looking at the stone map under our feet, it looks like we are standing on a huge stone map.

After careful identification, Justus came to a conclusion: "The altar is in the west area of ​​the ruins of the city. Our current location should be in the east area, which means that there is a big gap between us. We should find a way to get around it." over there."

Ying Li suggested, "Why don't you fly there with a magic scorpion?"

I looked at so many people around, only us five magicians, and said in a cold sweat, "Forget it, in my opinion, let's go around the big crack honestly, it shouldn't be too far away! "

……

After detouring for a long time, relying on the guidance on the slate map, we finally bypassed the big crack and came to the western part of the city ruins.

In fact, the location of this altar is not difficult to find, and we found it soon.

Standing in the distance and looking at the huge pyramid-shaped building, I couldn't help but say, "This is the altar we're looking for?"

At this time, Justus also followed me and said to me, "It should be here."

Helena jumped on a sloping Roman column on a high place, looked at the altar in the distance, and said loudly to us: "It is much bigger than I imagined."

When we came to the foot of the altar, we found that it was bigger than we imagined. It looked like the whole altar was like a hill, and there were thousands of steps leading to the top of the altar.

Moraya began to observe the reliefs at the foot of the altar, and said, "The stone walls around this altar are still relatively intact, and the reliefs on the stone walls are not damaged. Let's see what is painted here..."

Teacher Heidi also leaned over at this time. She stood in front of a complete wall, looked at the picture above, and said, "This should be the legendary eternal battle. This is the legendary sanctuary. It's a pity that these legends are far away from us." We are too far away. It is said that all the Nephalem disappeared suddenly at a certain period of time, and we have not even inherited the civilization they left behind. Their writing is actually magic runes in our eyes, which is different from the ancient Magic writing in Elvish."

When I saw the magnificent altar in front of me, I got angry and said, "Anyway, we have found the ancient altar. Now that the three conditions of the soul gem, the horn of the soul, and the ancient altar are all met, we can prepare for the resurrection of Guoguo." My sister's magic ceremony, I will invite Lord Bruce, he promised me that he will hold this soul awakening ceremony himself."
