Chapter 321 Excavation

The excavation holes in the underground ruins are much brighter than the last time Annan saw them.

This shaft has been carefully designed and excavated. There is a bright light source for a certain distance. This is a route that has been laid out. There are also steps and levels that can be safely walked down. Even if you accidentally fall, you will not fall down all at once. deepest.

None of these arrangements were made by the White Knights; they were left over from the previous archaeological team.

Annan explained that there were excavators working under the pit, but why the entire pit looked pitch black. It was probably because something had happened long ago, but no one noticed it.

"The smell of blood is so strong."

The closer Annan got to the bottom, the stronger the smell of blood lingered in the air.

The air circulation here is very good, so there is no need to consider breathing problems. Normally, the smell left a week ago should have dissipated long ago.

"Be careful and don't stay away from us. We suspect there are some dark magic items left behind by ancient civilizations down there."

Of course, it was impossible for David, the white knight captain, to ignore the smell of blood in the air.

They had already cleaned up the scene a little, so naturally they noticed something unusual.

"I will be careful."

Annan raised his head and glanced above.

Three members of the White Knights came down with him, and one remained on standby.

The one who responded above was the female elite white knight wearing sunglasses.

Annan had already met the opponent face to face before. Fortunately, this elite white knight didn't seem to notice anything, otherwise he would have turned from a collaborator to a prisoner.

Arriving at the bottom of the ruins pit, Annan began to follow the instructions of the white knight and perform the expected heavy work.

He and the two white knights next to him, a man and a woman, each held shovels and cleaning tools and started digging in the same direction.

That is what is called hard work.

The direction the White Knight is digging is of course the area hollowed out by the Witch of the Abyss using powerful black magic.

The stratum over there has completely sunk due to the sudden loss of a piece of it. It can be seen that there is nothing there. Even if a passage is opened, it will be of no use.

The White Knight's target is actually a place near the underground ruins. They believe that there should be some clues left in this ruins.

According to the notes left by the local archaeological team, this underground ruins that had been buried for who knows how many years seemed to be a rather large pyramid group, an altar of an unrecorded dynasty.

The archaeological team discovered this place because they accidentally found relevant descriptions in ancient documents.

They were not sure and uncertain at first, but they had not had any real accumulation for a long time, so they came here to explore with a bit of grit.

Then, they didn’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. After some investigation, they really found some clues. Then they started construction here, and finally at this place, ten meters deep underground, Found the pyramid ruins beneath the ground.

Behind and to the left of Annan, you can see the corner of a large building with unique characters carved on it.

The archaeological team judged that this did not belong to ancient writing. They suspected that it was some kind of magic rune, so they thought of it and sought help from the Magic Academy.

Annan took a look when he passed by just now.

Then, he found that he understood. He understood the meaning of those ghostly characters.

It was indeed not an ancient text, nor was it a magical rune.

This is some kind of text related to black magic, a forgotten text, a text that does not belong to this world.

As for why Annan knew it, it was because he inherited some knowledge from the Witch of Chaos.

The knowledge about language and writing left to him by the Witch of Chaos was not just one foreign language, but actually two.

Annan previously thought that this knowledge would not be useful because it was too unpopular and unpopular. Who knew that it would be useful at a time like this.

"Although I only saw part of the text, the text on the outer wall of the ruins is actually not quite correct. It seems a bit like a random arrangement."

Under the guidance of Captain White Knight, Annan was using an electric excavation tool, his mind completely not on the work in front of him.

"If the knowledge left behind by the Witch of Chaos is correct, this means that the ancient civilization that created this ruins does not understand the meaning of those words at all. They just don't know where they found these words that do not belong to this world. , and then use it randomly."

Annan probably understood why this ruin was buried deep underground.

This should not be intentional by ancient civilizations. Ancient civilizations with backward technology and labor would not have the ability to create large-scale buildings underground.

"The words they use randomly seem to have some kind of weird power. They don't need any magic infusion. As long as they are properly arranged and combined, they can produce some kind of reality-changing effect, just like magic. However, this The power of writing words is uncontrollable, even the Witch of Chaos has never actively used such words because it is too dangerous."

Annan suspected that the ruins here were caused by ancient civilizations who triggered the power of these words after they built up the area, causing an accident and causing the area to sink.

He just has no evidence.

"Words that don't belong to this world, so what exactly are they?"

The knowledge left behind by the Witch of Chaos did not explain how she obtained these words, nor the origin of these words.

Even if you say you don't belong to this world, it will only make people feel confused.

However, as a time traveler, Annan is not unable to accept this kind of thing.

"These words that I don't know where they come from, sometimes even if they are arranged correctly, they will not be effective because there are some additional conditions that are not met. As for what they are, I don't know. Maybe the position of the stars is incorrect, maybe It’s a matter of time, or it could be some inexplicable factors.”

After Annan discovered those strange words, the reason why he didn't react much was because he understood that there should be no danger for the time being.

If those words were really dangerous, this relic would have disappeared long ago, or it might have gone to heaven.

"I don't know if the white knights will find something wrong with the text here. They don't seem to know about it now. Forget it, there's no need to say more about it. I'll just do my own thing."

Annan calmed down, stopped thinking about those strange words, and worked hard as a temporary relic excavator.
