Chapter 932 Ancient Earth
Linsey stepped on the broken rubble and walked up to the ruins.
He activated the [Decryption Game], and there was almost no clue white light around him. He did not find anything special after careful perception.
"However, the clues have pointed to this place."
Linsey immediately activated his skills and dug the ruins here to find possible clues.
Behind him, the messenger Eris followed closely.
But unlike Linsey who dug, Eris half-crouched on the ground and reached out to touch the fallen ruins.
The smell of scorched earth began to linger in his ears.
In the team of three people, only Alason did not follow the two.
He chose a place with a higher position and a wide field of vision to set up the easel and first observed the surroundings.
"..."
"There are really a lot of people."
The one-armed painter sighed.
The ruins of this village have been dug for two days, but they are still watched by many people. He just sat here with a drawing board, without any extra actions, and someone in the nearby tunnel cast a suspicious look over.
If there is news of the discovery of supplies here.
Without thinking too much, these people will immediately rush over to compete for resources.
"Alas..."
Arasong sighed and waved his brush.
Just like he had covered his tracks in the Seven Seas Alliance, he drew a circle of black camouflage for himself before starting today's painting.
Further down.
The law knights and refugees stayed inside the tunnel.
They did not intend to participate in the investigation of Lindsay and the other two. Just as the side of the tunnel was divided into two sides, facing each other, the atmosphere was still as anxious as yesterday.
A few minutes later, Lindsay dug out holes in the ruins.
Some scattered clues began to emerge in white light.
[Broken stone tablet - a stone tablet that has been sunk at the bottom of the pond for an unknown period of time, recording some ancient texts. ]
[Broken stone mortar - an ancient rock that was opened not long ago, it seems to have preserved something over the long years. ]
[Dead black colored wood - precious wood used to build high-end carriages, after a long period of silence, it has completely decayed. ]
"..."
"What does this mean?"
Lindsay frowned.
The information he detected seemed to have nothing to do with an attacked village, but rather a descriptive affix that would only appear in an ancient relic.
At the same time, Eris behind him also opened his eyes.
He used his skills to communicate with the earth itself, and the information he obtained focused more on the situation in the past few days.
After sorting out his thoughts, the messenger stepped forward and told Lindsay about his investigation results:
"Lindsay, did we get something wrong?"
"The information this land gave me is that a man attacked this village some time ago and looted a lot of supplies. Apart from that, there seems to be nothing special?"
"Nothing special?" Hearing Eris' question, Lindsay directly mobilized the source and combined the clues in his hand, "Wait a minute."
The skill was activated, and the known clues began to be pieced together in front of Lindsay.
But what was surprising was.
When these clues were combined, the picture displayed had no village or battle under attack, but only a flat wilderness.
Under the cover of the leaves drifting in late autumn.
A convoy was transporting a large amount of supplies and slowly moving westward.
But as they were on the road, a red light suddenly fell from the sky.
In an instant, all the people in the convoy and the things they carried were crushed into pieces by this terrible skill. The attacker seemed to be entangled by something and could only leave quickly.
What was left in the end was the earth that returned to silence.
"..."
"No village?"
"There is no time chaos now."
"The scene just now must have happened before the village was built, in the ancient past."
Linsey thought for a while.
At this time, he found that the [Uncover the Mystery] skill at the bottom of [Puzzle Game] lit up!
[Uncover the Mystery: After the player gets the result based on the clues, he can choose the corresponding effect according to the current situation - shock the prisoner/find the escape path/eliminate the abnormal state/reveal the hidden secret...
Note: Objection! The truth is broken! There is only one truth! ]
Linsey activated it immediately without hesitation.
Then, under the effect of [Uncover the Mystery], a hidden secret was immediately revealed.
[Hidden Secret - In the ancient past, the convoy escorting the spoils was attacked here, and then it and everything they transported were buried here forever. 】
With the help of skills.
Lindsay can even skip the effort of guessing the information.
He turned his head and immediately asked the messenger:
"Eris, can your skills get more distant information?"
Eris blinked:
"More distant information? How far do you mean?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Lindsay replied:
"Before this village was built."
"..."
Eris suddenly laughed.
That smile was neither happy nor sad.
It was a helpless smile of a social animal facing extremely difficult work.
"Okay, I can give it a try."
"But Lindsay, communicating with the earth is a very difficult thing. Even if I try hard, I can't guarantee success."
Lindsay nodded to encourage:
"No problem, just try."
"Thank you very much whether there is any result or not."
So, Eris took a step forward.
This time he closed his eyes, and knelt completely on the ground, supporting his hands on the scorched earth in front of him.
From the perspective of Lindsay next to him.
He found that the source essence in the messenger was surging wildly, and then it communicated with everything around it, communicating more closely.
In just a few seconds, the two seemed to be mixed into one.
Eris used this ability to have a deep conversation with the nearby earth, asking about what happened in the past.
Then.
"No!"
"Lindsay, this is absolutely impossible, at least I can't!"
"The memory of the earth is deep and restrained. You can ask details about recent events. As for the older memories, it is completely a drastic change in the mountains and rivers. It is impossible to find clues in the details!"
Eris stood up.
As a companion, he definitely wanted to help.
But the reality is that his ability is not enough to find clues here.
"..."
Faced with this situation, Lindsay lowered his head and pondered.
He quickly changed his mind:
"In that case, let's focus our attention on the person who launched the attack!"
Lindsay looked at the ground under his feet.
Although the surrounding ruins were in tatters, judging from the traces and other clues, he could confirm that the village was completely destroyed by the same means in a very short period of time!
"Eris, how long did it take the murderer to destroy this village?"
This time, the messenger answered without hesitation:
"I'm sure of this!"
"It took him less than two minutes!"
