Chapter 873: Ruins

"strangeness!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed.

"Using stone bricks to build houses is not the style of Insman and Ofar Continent... Moreover, these stone houses are a little too small..."

Blackbeard Jie Jie laughed strangely: "Unless their original owners were a group of dwarves!... I probably guessed something."

"Well, I also thought of it. This should be the remains of a prehistoric civilization, which was later discovered by these natives and made full use of it... As for which civilization..."

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin: "They are short in stature but extremely creative. Could it be the ancestors of the dwarves..."

If you think about it this way, the Solo Pirates chose this place for the last treasure, maybe because even the Sun is just a gift they got from this ruin.

"Dwarves like to live in caves, and the rich mines are better, definitely not here... Also, those doors and windows are too narrow for thick dwarves... So, they should be goblins!"

Blackbeard has a well-thought-out plan.

"Goblin?!"

Before Fang Yuan could speak, Bill next to him couldn't help it: "Those skinny, dirty, and ignorant green-skinned dwarves?"

The era of the great geographical discovery is also the beginning of the great racial discovery.

At least, these well-informed pirates have long known that humans are not the only race in the world, and elves, dwarves... are by no means uncommon.

The beauty and agility of elves, the stoutness and strength of dwarves, and other alien races all have their own skills, or advantages.

But goblins... almost all pirates have a preconceived notion in their minds, that is garbage!

He is short and thin, backward and ignorant, he has not even developed a language, and he is very careless about cleanliness, and a stench lingers on his body all the time.

According to common sense, an ordinary dwarf or human can beat ten such guys.

And according to one of the most serious pirates, goblins are trash at all, and even their own meat is sour and smelly, and slightly poisonous.

If it weren't for the strong fecundity and extremely short growth cycle, this race might have become extinct long ago.

"That's right, it's a goblin!"

Blackbeard said solemnly: "Don't think that those green skins are synonymous with ignorance. In fact, they have also been brilliant. The creativity and hands-on ability of ancient goblins are completely beyond your imagination. It is said that their research on energy has reached the level of matter. At the most basic level, God-like power can be discovered from the tiniest particles... The goblin empire back then was the well-deserved king of the world, for example... At this time, Insman and our steam research are nothing more than It’s just plagiarized from the documents obtained from the goblin ruins, even a very rudimentary part..."

Captain Blackbeard spat out a top secret.

"So, why did such a brilliant race fall to this point?"

On behalf of the other crew members, Fang Yuan asked out the common doubts in his heart.

"Naturally because of wisdom, they rise because of wisdom, and also decline because of wisdom..." Blackbeard sighed: "I once found a goblin epic, and there was a vague description on it. The gods they worship have deprived them of their wisdom!"

"Um?"

Fang Yuan became even more curious. To what extent is a god so idiotic and ignorant that he would deprive his followers of their IQ?

Faith comes from wisdom. Once this is lost, the beliefs of ordinary people are not much different from cats and dogs.

"This... how would I know? Maybe it's because he is an evil god, so his behavior is very chaotic..."

Blackbeard said: "After all... the name of that god is the Lord of Madness! Of course, after this incident, He seemed to be severely injured immediately and disappeared. It is said that He has already fallen..."

"This is probably a branch of Goblin?"

Fang Yuan sighed a little: "Such a glorious empire, wise ancestors, if they see the present descendants, I don't know if they will die of anger... Prepare to attack!"

Although there was a native tribe with thousands of people on the opposite side, these pirates didn't pay attention at all.

At this time, following Fang Yuan's order, a large number of pirates howled and rushed out of the forest.

"Snoring!"

Among the tribe, a leader with three wooden arrows on his lips immediately stood up, waved the huge banana leaf in his hand, and ordered the natives to fight back.

bang bang!

As early as hundreds of meters away, the pirates grinned grinningly and raised their muskets.

In the white mist, a plume of lead swept over, stirring up a large cloud of blood.

A row of native warriors fell, and the pirates rushed into the tribe howling, wielding sailor knives and iron hooks.

The natives who dared to resist were immediately wiped out, and they began to collect wealth very simply.

Thick ores of dog-head gold and some pearls and gemstones were found and piled up in the small square in the center of the ruins. It didn't take long for it to look like a hill.

"The wealth here is a bit abnormal. If there is not a gold mine nearby, then these natives have dug up some pirate's treasure..."

Fang Yuan and Black Beard stepped forward side by side, and came to the core of the ruins.

In front of an ordinary stone house, a large amount of plasma was too thick to melt, as if forming a small river.

Hoarse, gloomy, and mysterious incantations sounded continuously from the stone house.

"Hiss!"

"Squeak!"

"Quack!"

...

Along with the incantation, strange poisonous insects crawled out of the blood river.

There are poison dart frogs the size of millstones, poisonous spiders with each compound eye the size of a fist, and giant pythons as thick as buckets.

"wizard?"

Fang Yuan nodded with interest, knowing that this is where the witch doctor of this native tribe lives.

"Whoever wins the opponent, I will reward him as a superhuman!"

At this moment, without saying much, he just threw out a few bottles of antidote and offered a reward, and immediately red-eyed pirates rushed up screaming.

As a big pirate, it is a joke that he still does everything by himself.

Fang Yuan found a rock as a bench and sat down, waiting quietly.

Not long after, the pirates who rushed in folded three or four, and the rest came out with a certain old native man with joy on their faces: "The witch doctor has been caught."

"Very well, detain the senior members of their tribe separately, interrogate them, and find out the news I want."

Fang Yuan stood up, he was more interested in these ruins than the natives.

A moment later, when he was looking at the unique patterns on the stone wall with his hands behind his back, Bill quickly came over with a happy expression on his face: "I just asked, although this tribe has never seen Solo Pirates, but the members of their tribe People can often pick up some dog head gold in a river, and even gold coins and diamonds, but because they can't use it, they all use it as decorations!"

"Let them take us to that river, and kill those who disobey us immediately!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand, feeling even more puzzled.

This is just a deserted island. Even in ancient times, the terrain would not have undergone any earth-shaking changes.

So, what is the reason that can make the goblin empire build a relic here at any cost?

'Although these buildings are exquisite enough, in my opinion, they look like sheds where workers live... So, is the real secret still hidden in Alcatraz? '

With a hint of doubt, Fang Yuan and other pirates escorted a few fat-headed native nobles to a river.

Under the sun, the gurgling water of the river shone with a few golden spots.

"Boss!"

Bill immediately went into the water, and after a short while, he touched a gold coin.

"This is the big gold coin of Sissel, on which is the portrait of King Sugal III, the wise king of Sissel!"

Fang Yuan nodded: "Follow the river up!"

"oh oh!"

The pirates immediately howled with excitement.

Everyone traced back to the source, and immediately came to a black cave.

A large amount of river water rushed out of it, with a little bit of strange color, it was dog head gold, gold coins, and gems.

"Walk!"

Fang Yuan looked at the cave, feeling a little puzzled, such a regular ellipse does not seem to be formed naturally.

At this time, under his command, there are quite a few marine warlocks.

Immediately, several loyal and capable pirates immediately followed.

The water flowing under their feet directly turned into hard ground, and they began to walk on the water without even getting their boots wet.

"Boss... here, something seems wrong!"

After going deep, Bill lit the torch, and his voice changed a little.

Because the surrounding walls became smoother and smoother, with a bit of metallic color, they must have been remodeled.

"According to our route, it should be in the middle of the mountain at this time... It seems that the two peaks of this Alcatraz island should have been hollowed out and transformed into some kind of factory? The reason why it was built here is for concealment, The second is to take advantage of... the power of the earth?"

The power of geothermal heat has great benefits for casting metal, and it is also very convenient.

If the entire mountain was regarded as a factory, then the place where they entered before was undoubtedly the sewage outlet.

At this time, the further you go in, the more empty the space becomes.

Fang Yuan and his party also left the water and walked onto land.

The sailor boots made a crisp sound when they touched the hard ground.

Didi!

Suddenly, a dazzling red light flickered.

Click! Click!

There was the sound of gears snapping together.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, a dozen tall figures slowly emerged from the darkness.

The light of the torch flickered, reflected on them, and was reflected one after another, with a metallic luster. There were more than a dozen metal statues.

Their shapes are very strange, they are all kinds of ferocious beasts, among which there are three heads with the largest body shape, with pointed nose and ears, narrow and long hands and feet, it is an enlarged version of goblin!

"Metal guards of ancient goblins!"

Seeing this, Blackbeard showed a smile on his face: "Congratulations... Roach, you have found a research site of ancient goblins!"
