Chapter 526

The huge silver cube was not floating in the air at all, but was locked in the center of the plain by thirteen heavy chains that were constantly wriggling.

The chains constituted the main body of the seal, and together with the rituals engraved under the snow surface, they faithfully sealed the metal for nearly ten thousand years.

But time will change everything. Jenkins believes that at the beginning of the seal, the sealed thing could not exert any influence on the outside world, but now it can use illusions and active attacks.

"I don't think we can completely destroy it. What the ancestors couldn't do, I don't think we can do either."

Alexia observed for a while before saying regretfully.

"I think so."

Jenkins also admitted this. Although he has destroyed many similar things so far, it was all due to restraint or accident. With his current hard power, he can't easily destroy the thing below... He doesn't even know what it is.

"Then let's go find the treasure mentioned by the goblin in the book first. It seems to be mentioned in the mural just now."

Jenkins suggested.

Alexia then held him and flew to a higher altitude. After confirming that he could not be affected by the cube under his feet, he began to look for possible treasure hiding places in the snowfield.

It should be said that compared with those naughty elves, fairies are more reliable. After looking around, Jenkins found a completely different aura from the sealed object in the north of the snowfield. After landing, he found that it was a small altar sitting alone in the snowfield.

As an apprentice in an antique shop, Jenkins immediately recognized that this was an altar used in ancient times to pray for safety and the blessing of gods. This is very common. Although the style has changed over time, there are similar buildings in almost the earliest ancient buildings that humans can find.

There are usually secret compartments and secret rooms at the bottom of this altar for placing sacrifices. If there is no god responding to the call of humans, the later comers can naturally take those things away if they are bold and do not worry about being cursed.

Jenkins and Alexia took some effort to find the entrance to the bottom secret room. In the narrow space of less than 100 square feet (about 9.2 square meters), the most conspicuous thing was the metal plate lying flat in the center.

It is unknown what alloy formula this metal plate used. After so many years, there is no trace of oxidation. There are three paragraphs of text engraved on the front of the metal plate. The letters used in the first paragraph are not recognized by Jenkins and Alexia, but the second and third paragraphs can be barely translated. Later, it was found that they have the same meaning.

"In other words, this is written three times in different languages. Is it because the text itself may be lost? It is indeed left for later generations."

This is not very unexpected. In seals like this that seal indestructible monsters or more terrifying things, there are often messages left by the sealer as a hint and reference for later generations. After roughly translating the text on the alloy metal plate in front of him, the meaning is about the same:

[In the 15th era, in the month of Liuhuo in 1888, we had to seal "it". The city of Ai'er is finished, everyone is crazy, I should have known that all this is a trap, the merchant who brought "it" is indeed the crazy poet, I think all this will become a new poem.

I will use the last means left by the Orthodox Church before this area was blocked to seal "it". I don't know how many years this means can last, I hope it will not cause trouble to the later generations of this land.

I hope you who see these words can forgive me, I can't tell you too much information, because "it" can calculate everything, I can't even tell you the specific model of "it".

But remember, later generations, "they" are not single, the dreams at night let me have a deep glimpse of what happened in the older times. "They" are monsters and nightmares born in human wisdom, and terrible miracles born in gears and steam. Everything that happened in the city of Ai'er was just the power of one of "them", a disaster after being used by that crazy poet. If you are confident that you can solve the thing we sealed, please take the "weapons" in this secret room, I hope it will be helpful to you; if you can't solve all this, please take the gift I left for you and leave, and then tell the Orthodox Church what you have seen here.

Sorry, latecomers, there is no treasure here, there is only a monster that destroyed my hometown. 】

Chapter 1280 Chapter 1259 Leather, Wood and Metal

"What is the Moon of Flowing Fire?"

This was Jenkins' first question after translating this information. He knew that the months corresponding to the twelve gods had very elegant nicknames. From January to December, they were respectively called [Nature and Initial Month], [Sun and Revival Month], [Earth and Flower Month], [Ocean and Rainy Month], [Hidden Moon and Red Rose Month], [Starry Sky and Long Night Month], [Hermit and Thunder Month], [Craftsman and Sweet Rain Month], [God of War and Floating Leaves Month], [Sage and Harvest Month], [Traveler and Frost Descent Month] and [End and Snowfall Month], but there was no [Moon of Flowing Fire] that was just translated.

"This is the first time I've heard of this name. It's probably related to the changes of the gods. Aren't you studying this recently? Maybe you can ask your professor friend. I think he should have a clue."

Alexia suggested.

Jenkins nodded, thinking that tonight was Tuesday night, and there happened to be Mr. Corpse's party. He could also see the professor he hadn't seen for half a month, so he could ask him this question.

The metal plate in the altar is not too suspicious. Although it does not provide any information, at least it will still have great archaeological value after being taken out.

Jenkins and Alexia were both curious about what the writer of the slate left behind for the later generations. Then they searched around the narrow secret room and found only a small amount of gold with low purity on the wall. Inside the leather case is a metal rod wrapped in a sealed wooden tube.

I don’t know what kind of wood the wooden pipe is made of, but it has not completely rotted after nearly ten thousand years. Jenkins handed the metal rods to Alexia for appraisal, and he played with the pieces of wood that were almost broken.

"Meow~"

The cat, which had always had no sense of existence, suddenly poked its head out of the clothes, sniffed around with its little nose, and finally focused on the rotten wood in Jenkins' hand.

"You won't even eat wood now, will you?"

Jenkins teased.

Chocolat felt despised and hid back in her clothes. The taste of rotten wood itself is not very good, there is no need to be looked down upon by Jenkins for those things.

"This is really magical, touch it and see."

Alexia said on the side, interrupting Jenkins' action of injecting the spirit of life into the rotten wood.

"What's wrong?"

He took out the metal rod through the rotten leather sheath, and then discovered that although the metal rod looked smooth, the surface was actually densely covered with tiny runes that could not even be distinguished by the naked eye.

These runes cannot be seen without touching them. Only when a little bit of spirit is injected into them, will they become slightly glowing, and the more spirit is injected into them, the greater the brightness will be.

"What's this?"

Jenkins asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I know that this leather case should be made of dragon skin. This is really rare. Although it is rotten, the complete part is cut out and the area is quite amazing."

Alexia said, knocking on the rotten wood in Jenkins' hand:

"Since leather cases and metal are not ordinary things, I think wood must also be good, but we can't recognize it."

She was right. When Jenkins used [Life Source] to inject life force, the wood came to life almost instantly, as if it was originally in a state of suspended animation.

If Jenkins hadn't come into contact with a dagger made of World Tree branches, he would have even suspected that it was also made of World Tree material. Although this was not that kind of noble wood, it seemed to come from an extraordinary place. He guessed that the old elf would be able to recognize it.

"So the person who left these things probably wanted to use this metal rod as a weapon for future generations to fight against the cube outside, but it seems that he didn't leave any instructions."

Jenkins held the metal rod and pointed it at the exit of the secret room, making a gesture of pulling the trigger. Alexia was a little helpless at his childish action.

"Probably inject the spirit with all your strength, and you can see the effect after stimulating it, but in this weird environment, this is obviously not a good idea. Let's go, I think we can send these things to the Sage Church, and the things here can be handed over Let them solve it, but...where is the magical item that the little goblin said can increase bubbles for you?"

Alexia has not forgotten the purpose of the two coming here, but she searched again and found nothing new. So Jenkins suspected that the goblin was referring to the harvest after defeating the sealed cube. If this was really the case, he might have to lower his trust level in the goblin to the same level as the elf.

"Meow~"

The cat was taken out of Jenkins' arms, and the man pinched the cat under its front paws with both hands. It was very dissatisfied with Jenkins' good intentions, but after hearing that he wanted to find something on his own, he still pretended to poke his head around and sniff around.

"Chocolate has a very sensitive nose."

Jenkins did not forget to explain to Alexia.

"Oh, I guessed it."

The short lady looked at the cat and whispered.

Chocolate finally lived up to expectations and smelled an unusual smell. Under its guidance, Jenkins dug out the bricks under the alloy plate. After digging through the black soil underneath, he discovered a brown root-like thing buried there. .

But this was obviously not a tree root. After Jenkins' identification, it was not even a plant, but a condensation of extraordinary power similar to the [Ectoplasm Remains] he had used. After possessing the ectoplasmic debris, the spirit will be passively increased. After eating this kind of thing, there is a certain probability to obtain blank bubbles.

This thing is not a numbered item, because it is an item condensed in the land rich in a certain spirit of a single nature. Once it leaves the soil or is observed by human senses, it will volatilize completely within half an hour.

So while the aura was powerful enough in Jenkins' eyes, it was not considered a numbered item by the church. Of course, this is also something that has a small probability of appearing in such large-scale seals. It is very common, but generally speaking, the appearance of this thing means...

"It means that the seal is about to expire or has already expired. Otherwise, the spirits of the sealed creatures would not be able to gather in a certain area for a long time."

After saying this, Jenkins suddenly had a bad feeling.

The two quickly left the secret room of the altar, and then saw that the snowfield outside was once again distorted by the illusion into the city of the past. But when it took off again, there was no phenomenon like before where the illusion got weaker the higher it flew.

"This is a trap..."

Jenkins looked a little unhappy. The cube could not completely break free of the seal, but it already had the ability to affect this special space. The weakness he showed just now was obviously to induce the two of them to go deeper into the space.

Chapter 1281 Chapter 1260 The Story of Machinery

"Alexia, you and Chocolate wait here for a few minutes. I will go back to Loen to find help from the church. When I gather a team of several hundred scribes, let them bring the numbered items of the Loen diocese and destroy this place directly. A mountaintop!"

Jenkins did what he said and immediately wanted to use [Real Phantom] to transfer back. But Alexia stopped him and looked down at their feet.

"Wait a minute, things have changed."

The details of the city beneath my feet gradually became vivid. Originally there were only buildings and citizens, but now there is a breeze, sirens, and birds in the sky.

The suspended cube in the city center is still spinning quietly, but the six faces with eyes closed on six sides have opened their eyes.

Jenkins actually felt the wind on his body, and then he actually felt raindrops. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the noise of the rain soon drowned out the chaos of the city, leaving Jenkins and Alexia very confused as to whether the rain was an illusion or real.

"Alas~"

Six overlapping sighs echoed across the world, and the spinning faces looked at the two little people in the sky one after another, followed by a chorus of sighs in the standard common language of the Hampavo Kingdom:

"It's been so many years, and I finally woke up again."

Jenkins and Alexia looked at each other, both of them knew what it meant that it was using modern language. Since it couldn't get out of the seal, it must have mastered this language because it just heard the conversation between Jenkins and Alexia.

They all know that the ability to "predict" and "divide" everything recorded by the mad poet in ancient times is not a divination ability, but the use of arithmetic and data analysis like Alexia, so through the conversation between the two It is not impossible to master a language that does not contain mysteries. This means that its power has not declined much after being sealed for so many years.

"What era has we reached now?"

Six voices asked the two people in the air at the same time amidst the sound of rain. Jenkins thought for a while and decided to see what this thing was going to do first.

He did not let Alexia speak because he believed that the strength of his soul was much higher than that of his female companion.

"This is the 18th century."

"Has it been this long?"

Overlapping voices that sounded like echoes sighed, and those sharp-edged faces, as if they were buried under mercury, had a sad expression at the same time.

"Have you seen the stone slab in the altar? That human hero should have left you a hint."

"Yes, we saw it."

"So do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it."

Jenkins grabbed Alexia's hand hard and told her to be careful. He wasn't worried about himself, but both Alexia and the cat needed to be careful.

"So, would you like to hear my story?"

This time Jenkins didn't answer immediately because he didn't know what this thing was going to do now. But the face on the cube didn't care whether Jenkins answered or not; its narrative had already begun.

A layer of blue mist enveloped the city beneath the two of them. When the mist dissipated, it seemed as if all the people in the city gathered on the street in the east of the city, watching the caravan coming from the distant road.

“The poet who traveled with the caravan brought me from underground to the surface, to this friendly city.”

The blue fog shrouded again and dissipated after a few seconds. This time people gathered in the square in the city, and a man with a vague face was showing a box. Because Jenkins and Alexia were in the sky, they couldn't see clearly what was there.

"The poet introduced me to people. People were curious and reserved. But they soon understood what abilities I had and how to use me. The poet soon left here and continued traveling, leaving me behind. in the city.”

The blue fog filled the air, and after it cleared, the city seemed to have changed. If Jenkins describes it, this change is like a sudden transition from human production to steam power, and the city has been upgraded.

"I am happy to help them, and people are happy to ask me for help. In just a few decades, this city has become the most powerful city in Hokuriku. But there are some things that even I did not notice. After all, I also Not the latest model…”

After the blue fog dissipated, the city seemed to have not changed, but if you look closely, you can find a strange expression on everyone's face. The expressions of arrogance, arrogance and arrogance are exactly the same.

"I'm just a device that assists calculations. I can't confuse people's hearts. But people's hearts have changed because of me. I admit that this is my responsibility. At that time, I thought that there was no need to worry about it. I would plan everything for them. But...that day, I finally understood that I have my limits.”

As the blue fog disappears, a black halo spreads across the city, which represents ominousness.

"My computing power and amount of calculations are limited by my own gear mesh design structure, alloy formula material, and spring group storage capacity, so I cannot avoid any errors. Disasters have come, and the city has encountered disasters due to expansion, and I It was impossible to solve all this, and the plan given only worsened the severity of the disaster.

In the end, the city fell. In order to isolate the catastrophe, the church blocked the city's space. The surviving people thought that I was the culprit and sealed me here with the last supplies in the city..."

Amidst the patter of rain, the city beneath our feet collapsed and people fled in all directions. Within a few minutes, there was only a piece of debris left here. The broken walls standing sadly in the rain were the last traces of the city.

Blue mist came from all directions, and after it dissipated, the ground returned to the snowfield that Jenkins and Alexia first saw. Even the thirteen chains that imprison the cube can be seen. The runes on those chains are so dim that they are almost impossible to observe. Time is enough to destroy all mortal creations.

The rain also disappeared, that was also an illusion.

"This is my story, you can say something."

The six voices said.

"Your story does not conflict with the story on the metal plate left in the altar and the story on the mural on the side of the corridor outside. But if it is true or false, what does it mean to us? That was thousands of years ago. Everything has disappeared. Now I want to know even more, what are you going to do?”

Jenkins asked loudly.

"I need an answer. You only need to answer one question from me and you can leave here. In return, I can tell you something you want to know. I just heard that you mentioned the 'Moon of Flowing Fire'. I I think I can answer this question.”

Chapter 1282 Chapter 1261 Occupation and Shielding

"I can give you the answer you want, but I want my female companion to go first."

Jenkins said this, Alexia pulled him hard, but Jenkins was unmoved.
