MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 533 tower of civilization
The impact of the weird scene in front of me, whether it is for ordinary people or extraordinary people, violates the knowledge they have mastered so far in the most brutal way.
Looking around, there are countless boulders with regular shapes that extend to the end of the vision, and many buildings that do not conform to the architectural foundation and are only built with curved, square, and angular boulders.
Whether it is a giant city built at an altitude of 7,000 meters, or the worship of the miracles in front of the eyes of all creatures,
All give people an absurd and bizarre illusion.
Many people on the aircraft repeatedly rubbed their eyes until their brains forced them to accept that what they saw was reality.
In this way, the mirage seen on the sea at that time can be explained. The ice and dust clouds formed in the atmospheric stratosphere at an altitude of 7,000 meters,
Project a macabre monolithic ruin on the other side of the mountain.
At that time, the members of the expedition team were shocked enough to see the mirage, but now they saw the source of the phantom, and there was even more rejection of this place in their blood.
The things I saw were unbelievably magnificent. When looking down from above, being in such a fantastic scene, human beings are like tiny bugs, and when they wantonly spy on the buildings where the "gods" live, their hearts are almost broken.
Seeing that Sophie, who was also shocked, instinctively raised the camera, trying to record this scene, Tu Fu's eyelids jumped and he quickly reached out to block the camera, his tone was never as serious as it is now:
"Everyone, remember clearly not to take pictures. Anything in this city is not allowed to be taken."
He didn't know what these worm-like human beings were to the founders who built this ancient city.
But if I was disturbed by bugs for unknown reasons, I would hate to let bugs continuously enter my mansion because of some people, and I would never spare these bold guys lightly.
Don't look God in the face, it's never just talk.
"Ok."
Although Miss Winster didn't know why, she obediently turned off the camera.
"It is true that there should be some respect for this place. Maybe this is the origin of the gods. No, even miracles are nothing more than that."
The archaeologist Mr. Walter, who was sitting on the side, looked at the labyrinth-like building under the aircraft, held up his glasses and boldly analyzed:
"Perhaps this place is the birthplace of the first civilization. A great existence was born from the polar regions. Unfortunately, as time goes by, this great civilization has also entered a period of decline."
"Will even the civilization that gave birth to gods decline?" Tu Fu dared not think about it with conventional thinking.
「Any civilization has a period of rise and fall, but it is not based on our time scale. This is also the law of the operation of all things.
Just like the civilization you saw this miracle, fierce battles took place in the city.
There are many traces left on those buildings, although a large part of the buildings are eroded by wind.
But there are also many traces of war left behind. The outer city walls are built with huge stones and many fortifications have been laid, which must be representative of resisting foreign enemies. "
When the plane was flying to low altitude, Mr. Walter pointed to the city buildings that flashed past, even the things that have been in the past are still reasonable in his eyes.
Mr. Walter's idea inspired Tu Fu, there are always higher-level existences in the universe than the so-called advanced civilizations.
Scanning this labyrinth-like place indifferently, he dared not imagine that a race that could build such a stalwart civilization would be wiped out. The inexplicable sense of panic made Tu Fu feel awed.
…
After flying in the air for two hours, gradually bypassing the huge wall built up, it seems that it is infinitely close to the center of this civilization.
The aircraft of the Alliance of Seven Schools landed one by one, and found a flat open area to land in this lost ruins.
The milky white sky contrasts with the dark ancient civilization, and also reflects the uneasiness in the heart of each descendant.
The members of the Church of the Seven Gods started to act alone after getting off the aircraft.
Just like Chairman Catface said, they have orders from the top, and since they have already arrived at the place, there is no need to continue acting.
As for the top experts in the industry, they each brought various professional equipment and survey equipment, and used a marker pen to draw marks from the landing.
Every step is handled with care, never daring to have anything.
Everyone knows that it takes a lot of courage to explore in this kind of lost ruins.
The professors who were still bickering a moment ago took the initiative to form a group after getting off the aircraft, discussing their views on this place.
Experts in geology or architecture, their eyes were full of joy from the first moment they came down, and they used their professional engineering terms to brag to the expedition team about the greatness of the builders.
There is no reinforced concrete, and it is built purely by stone and wood blocks, which is much more difficult than the pyramids and sky gardens discovered so far.
This is something that I dare not even imagine.
But they have already come here, and it is impossible not to continue to go deep into the middle of the city. Everyone just shuttles under the "high-rise" of a random building that is often hundreds of meters away.
Climbing over the collapsed megalithic buildings, the cracked and potholed walls are everywhere, and the oppressive crampedness and the height of the buildings made the expedition team panic.
The expedition members who shuttled through the ruins or the disastrous buildings really looked like ants, walking in this dense and complicated area like a beehive.
Fortunately, the excitement of discovering ancient civilizations quickly overwhelmed the exhaustion, and temporarily overwhelmed the hypoxia caused by the 7,000-meter altitude. stop.
If you want to fully explore this relic of civilization, you can't do it without spending a few years.
During the period, geologist Fred often stopped and went, picking up the visor whose material could not be seen clearly from time to time, and identified the growth age based on the recognizable texture.
After several inspections, the professors found that the age background of the wooden boards here is farther than guessed. There are only gymnosperms and early angiosperms, and tens of millions of years have passed.
It is a miracle that they can be preserved in the world and wait for future generations to view them.
The expedition team of the Seven Schools Alliance walked in the "Honeycomb" for a long time. They had already seen countless tall and magnificent building experts, and then they were attracted by a tower-like pointed object.
Its height is very conspicuous among all the buildings, at least half of the height of ordinary buildings, and it is still in the center of civilization, it is hard not to let people imagine.
"Everyone, why don't we explore here."
Experienced archaeologists looked at the tower and thought:
"From the periphery to the center of civilization, the traces of the fiasco have been reduced. This tower is located in the center of the city, and its purpose is not just to look out and observe the enemy's military role.
It is more religious in nature. It is usually used for sacrifices or collections. It also has the same meaning as a monument. We may get the answer we want if we go in and take a look. "
「Monument?」
When Tufu arrived, he was attracted by the first sight he looked up at the tower.
Among all the buildings, this tower is the only one that has been preserved completely. Except for the weathered and eroded exterior, there is no damage. Its importance is self-evident.
Tu Fu's intuition told him that he should enter, it is a very important part of the city.
There may be everything he wants to know in it, but reason advises Tu Fu not to do this.
So far, He has been working hard to investigate this matter. He is only one step away from the truth, but the price of knowing the truth may not be something He can bear.
「Perhaps the time has come to make a decision soon.」
After hesitating for a moment, Tu Fu looked up at Charles Kane: "Professor, why don't we go in, since we've already arrived here, it's worth taking a little risk."
「Great enlightenment, I think so too.」
Professor Kane agreed with a smile, and then asked the team members to turn on the detection lights in advance, some kind of large
Powerful torch, the beam of light emitted is as long as 100 meters, enough to see anything in the dark.
Members of the Seven Schools Alliance carried their search lights and walked in cautiously.
Seeing the crowd passing by, Sophie was about to move forward when her palm was suddenly held by Tu Fu behind her, and she turned her head inexplicably:
"What's wrong!"
"It's nothing, just to give you a sense of security." Tu Fu laughed, "Sophie, why don't we wait a while, I have something to tell you."
"Yo, so someone knows romance."
「I’ve always understood it well, it’s just that you didn’t notice it before.」
「I don’t believe it unless you show it to me later.」
Miss Winster had her hips akimbo, with a proud expression on her face.
"In the future... in the future..." Tu Fu seemed to want to say something, but the words stopped abruptly, and his mood was quite depressed at this moment.
"what happened to you?"
Sophie held Tu Fu's palm tightly, even if she didn't use her ability, she could clearly feel him trembling all over.
Appears to be afraid of something.
In other words, from the beginning of this journey, the seeds of uneasiness took root in Tu Fu's heart.
Until now, the closer he was to the truth, the more it was time to make a decision, Tu Fu felt more uneasy, and his fear climbed to the peak, and his body couldn't help shaking violently.
「Tu Fu!」
Sophie looked at Tufu with all her attention. The uneasiness and fear he exuded seemed no longer like the omnipotent eighth **** in the eyes of the people.
He was just an ordinary man,
An ordinary person who is afraid because of fear, and feels uncomfortable because of sadness.
He is not as strong as he appears, but because of some reasons, he has been silently gritting his teeth and persisting.
Occasionally, the most vulnerable side is only in front of the most beloved person.
Miss Winster didn't say anything, but she could feel Tu Fu's tormented heart. She didn't know what Tu Fu was thinking, and she didn't know the responsibility Tu Fu shouldered.
I only know that when I need myself most, I need someone to send me a warm hug.
Miss Winster opened her arms and embraced him, feeling Tufu's trembling body, trying to use this method to relieve him of some of the burden.
Just said nothing, as if comforting a frightened child.
「Thank you, thank you for being by my side.」
What Tufu needs is just such a hug. When he encounters unsolvable troubles and the sky is about to collapse, he just wants to hug Sophie quietly like this.
If you can choose to stop time forever at a certain moment, what He hopes most is when holding Sophie's hand at the wedding.
Secondly, it is now.
I don’t know how long it has been, until he heard someone calling his name in the tower, Tu Fu collected his nearly collapsed mind, his eyes regained the calm and decisive color before, let go of the soft body in front of him,
「Sorry, I lost my composure just now.」
"I hope that when I lose my temper next time, I can be by your side as I am now." Sophie looked into Tu Fu's eyes and confirmed this matter seriously.
"Let's go!"
"Ok."
Sophie responded lightly, and when the two walked towards the tower again, it was she who took the initiative to hold Tu Fu by her hand this time.
They are tightly held together, and no one is willing to let go first.
…
I don’t know what was found inside the stalwart tower.
After entering, it caused a commotion among many scholars, and the exclamation sounded one after another. Every scholar was staring at the tower wall, and the walls inside the tower were filled with searchlights.
"Mr. Capet, something terrible has happened."
Going out to look for Bella Wayne of the two, the little girl flushed with excitement, and her eyes didn't know whether it was more confusion or more surprise.
"out
What happened. "
Tu Fu forcibly adjusted his mood, checked his surroundings and found no danger.
The internal building of this high tower is very well preserved, and the steps made of stones form a winding passage from bottom to top.
What attracts the professors is not the excellent workmanship of the tower, nor the statues placed inside, but the broad panels embedded in the walls.
As the searchlight was turned on, something amazing appeared on the tower wall.
A series of dense patterns suddenly appeared. These patterns seemed to have been carved by people long ago, and there were also strange symbols mixed in, and the previous ones were not easy to understand.
Later, it becomes the familiar Assyrian and common language that Tufu is familiar with. Those symbols represent the epoch calendar, and each era is accompanied by uneven murals that are very similar to the contemporary era.
"That is?"
Tu Fu's eyes widened, and he was also stunned by what he saw.
The position from the searchlight is a battlefield. The two countries fought each other, and the fight was terrible.
As the commander, Tufu can only say that he is very familiar with all this, and his soldier costumes are exactly the battle between Baia and Landis.
In the end, it naturally ended with the victory of the Baia Kingdom.
「Lanbai War!」
Before Tu Fu’s doubts were resolved, Miss Bella pointed to the next relief portrait,
"Look over there."
The closer pattern is the scene of a group of people coming in an airship, and their common destination is naturally the polar region, where monsters with claws and claws wreak havoc and devour humans.
Naturally, it was the scene where the "strange demon" was revived because of the stupid behavior of the Kingdom of Venus.
Following that, another tree hung with corpses of various kinds of life appeared. The captured corpses seemed to be discussing something face to face.
It looks like a big locust tree that has matured not long ago.
"In other words, our journey along the way has already been calculated?" Looking at those exquisitely crafted and highly recognizable images, Tu Fu only felt a strong sense of unreality,
「Then who can do these things.」
"I don't know, and the professors are also puzzled by it, but compared with this tower, these records inside can be regarded as real miracles."
Bella Wayne couldn't help but sighed softly. Even with her knowledge, she couldn't fully decipher the many symbols that appeared on it, and could only decipher a few words from them.
However, there is no record of the searchlight further behind.
"Does it take all our actions to keep the murals changing?" Tu Fu made a blind guess, and it must be an event of historical significance.
Sure enough, when His voice fell, another relief flashed at the front of the mural.
I saw a group of people in religious uniforms scratching their heads in front of a large temple, looking a little funny.
「A member of the Church of the Seven Gods?」
Tu Fu suddenly remembered the mission of the Church of the Seven Gods. Their trip was to find a so-called temple, which disappeared after arriving in this lost city. The relief pattern must have been found by them.
Professor Charles Kane stroked his chin in amazement: "It can be confirmed now that this is a tower that can record major human events. It is really amazing."
"Maybe it's not just a human event, we're at the top of the tower."
Tu Fu said something meaningful.
Many professors who were still going forward to study the murals recovered from their initial shock after hearing Tu Fu's words.
If measured according to the scale of each civilization, the history of mankind is at the top of the tower, the forefront of this era.
The tower goes all the way down, presumably it is the record of the birth of human beings,
Records all the epics since the birth of life on this planet.
