Chapter 234: The First Harvest
"The ruins of this temple...are still 20 meters deep."
Xia Deti's voice was full of confusion.
She has completely scanned this piece of ruins, and it should be a temple building with a large area.
And the building basically collapsed completely, but the way it collapsed was somewhat strange.
It was as if it had been broken in the middle by someone, breaking into three pieces and falling into a pile.
In other words, this pile of ruins is about 20 meters high, and the spire at the top is well preserved and remains upright.
The height of the entire ruins may be around 35 to 40 meters.
If we remove the well-preserved spire, more than 20 meters high is already high enough, and this is the height of the ruins. If it were a solid building, the height of the temple would be at least more than 100 meters.
Calculate based on this height.
Among all the buildings they built, the only one that could match this height was the statue of the Virgin Mary in the center of the cathedral.
The statue is much taller than this.
But one is a statue and the other is a temple building, the two are obviously different.
Not to mention that these relics are still unknown how many years old they are.
"Twenty meters high?" Alka thought for a moment and asked, "What are the ruins after the collapse?"
"right."
If calculated in this way, the height of this building is indeed outrageous.
And judging from the information about the treasure, this building is definitely not the tallest in the entire city-state.
Because the ruins of this temple are obviously just a research institute used for research, and it is one of many temple ruins used for research.
The height of the buildings can also indirectly reflect the level of development of the civilization.
Especially in a world full of islands.
etc.
Alka suddenly thought of something and found himself in a dead end.
Who says these ruins must be the civilization after the war of gods?
Once I figured this out, many things suddenly became clear.
"It's okay, don't worry about it, let's see what Lucilia can analyze."
"Scan it more. Maybe we need to dig deeper later."
Xia Daiti nodded and focused on his work.
Although there are many exposed ruins, there are obviously not many clear and useful ones.
After Lucilia looked through them all carefully, she said, "Sapphire Temple, this ruins used to be called that, but there are numbers 3 and 2 at the end, and I don't know what they mean.
There is another person named Vita, who is known as the Great Teacher.
Not much to find, dig a little more and let me see if there is any more information.”
Hearing Lucilia's words, Xiadaiti had already begun to mark more marks and outlines for digging downwards.
Be more careful this time to avoid causing more damage to this ancient relic.
The excavation speed was still fast, and everyone had some experience, so no damage was caused.
Although the building collapsed, it did not completely break into pieces.
Because the collapsed and stacked structure is divided into three sections, the main body of each section is relatively well preserved.
After completely digging out the top section, they entered through a broken hole.
But obviously, even if it was not crushed by the collapsed ruins, it would still be empty.
Countless things have long since vanished into thin air with the passage of time.
Only some patterns and words on the surrounding walls still record information. Although it is still blurry, it is much better than outside.
Alka and the others did not enter, but the smaller puppet girl entered to avoid further damage.
"This place seems to have been used for some kind of research. The research was about gathering magic power or something. The man named Vita seems to be the one in charge of this project."
This time Lucelia obviously gained more information.
After hearing this information, Alka felt that they knew enough information and took out the map to check it out.
[Treasure information: Vastva 3-6 project, research is carried out in the Sapphire Temple of Grand Master Vita.
The research topic is how to gather magic power stably and efficiently, and filter the magic power into high magic factors that are more suitable for absorption.
Use the secret code to enter the overlapping space of the temple, where the completed first version of the product is stored. 】
Sure enough, with the information that Lucelia had obtained twice, the information about the treasure was basically complete.
I know what the treasure is, where it comes from and where it is stored.
Then comes the most important thing, how to obtain the treasure, which is also the most difficult item to complete in the expansion information.
But in some cases, it is also the least important one, because map markers can skip this process.
Among the treasures that Alka and his companions obtained, they didn't know the complete process of obtaining more than half of them.
Because most treasures are easy to obtain once you know where they are hidden.
As for the specific information of the treasure, it is actually not important in some cases.
Unless the treasure itself was hidden by someone on purpose, in this case, even if you know the exact location, it would be difficult to get in and get it.
For example, the most classic Twelve Treasure Houses.
But in fact, under normal circumstances, most of the treasures are relics left behind by the original owner due to accidents.
"Overlapping space..."
Muttering to himself, Alka couldn't help but think of the temple ruins that were inexplicably activated when they arrived on this island.
At that time, they were also suddenly teleported to other places and also recited the secret words.
However, the hole should be underground, not the so-called overlapping space.
Now the treasure is clearly stated, and if you want to obtain it, you have to speak the secret word.
Apparently it is the key to activating the ruins.
So the question is, what could the secret word be?
Could it be that just saying the name will do the same as the previous temple?
Looking at Xiadaiti and others who were still preparing to continue digging, Alka immediately said, "Wait."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.
Alka looked at Lucilia, thought for a moment and said, "Lucilia, please translate what I said into the language of this island."
After hearing this, everyone understood what Alka wanted to do.
"You want to activate this ruin? Is that okay?" Xia Daiti asked from the side.
Alka nodded: "Don't worry."
After hearing what Alka said, they didn't say anything.
Lucilia brushed off the dirt on her body and jumped onto Alka's shoulder: "Go ahead."
"Vastwa"
As Alka finished speaking, Lucilia quickly translated it.
But obviously it didn't work.
"The Four-Part God."
It's useless.
"Vita."
It's useless.
"The Sapphire Temple."
Still no use.
…
The two of them translated back and forth like this, saying all kinds of words, and even starting to combine them with each other.
However, Arkadu's mouth began to dry up, and there was still no movement in the ruins.
He frowned, looked at the ruins in front of him, and began to think.
"Why don't we continue digging?" Xia Daiti comforted.
But Alka was worried that even if they dug deeper and obtained more information, they might not be able to know what the secret code was.
Obviously, the information obtained from the ruins alone is not enough to complete the information about the treasure, especially this last wave.
This expansion can only be achieved if you have a deep enough understanding of the treasure.
If it was just a study of the ruins, Alka was not optimistic.
Think about it.
Alka spoke again.
"The place where Grand Master Vita lives."
Lucilia still translated the word.
"It works!" Julia, who had been waiting nearby, said immediately.
The magic power around is rising.
This time, there were no ripples spreading out, but Alka and the others who were standing on the ruins disappeared from the spot in an instant.
After a moment of trance and a feeling of weightlessness, everyone fell to the ground.
The surrounding environment also changed with the momentary darkness.
A faint glow attached to the surrounding walls illuminated the entire space, allowing everyone to clearly see the surrounding environment.
Alka turned around and looked at his surroundings.
This is a rectangular space that looks quite large.
There are very regular patterns carved on the wall, and the light is emitted from the patterns.
On both sides of the wall, there are various instruments and tables, and there are some unknown utensils on the tables.
There are various kinds of papers pasted on the wall, and the surroundings seem a bit messy, but they are preserved in exceptionally good condition.
Alka immediately saw an object with a blue outline placed among a pile of messy objects on a table against the wall at the front of the entire space.
The thing was just placed casually on the table, looking no different from the surrounding utensils.
Pororo stretched out his hand and touched the paper on the wall.
As he touched it, the paper immediately turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Seeing this situation, Porro's hands immediately froze in the air.
"It's been too long here. Even if there is no dust, the passage of time is still causing changes." Julia said as she looked at the surrounding environment.
As they entered, the air that also entered and the faint noises produced by their breathing had already caused some of the paper products on the tables and walls to disappear.
"Don't move. Let me record everything. The more you remember, the better." Lucelia said as she began to disappear into the shadows.
She hopes this will not affect the surrounding environment.
Everyone also stood there, almost completely holding their breath.
Lucelia quietly emerged from the shadows and began to record on the papers on the wall that had not been completely damaged.
There are quite a few papers on the table, but the only pity is that most of them are stacked.
In this situation, I dare not touch it at all and can only look at those on the surface.
The papers began to slowly dissipate, and a collapsing airflow was generated.
Lucelia could only try her best to remember it in her mind.
Until the papers around that were once used to record information were completely turned into ashes and could no longer be seen.
"I don't know how much time has passed here to produce this effect. All this air rushed in as soon as we entered this space."
Julia said from the side, she was feeling the space that was cut out.
People began to move around in this space.
Alka looked at the unknown instrument on the table next to him. He touched it with his hand and it immediately broke into pieces and fell on the table.
The table also began to crumble and collapse with the noise.
Looking at this situation, everyone couldn't help but freeze in place.
Alka waved his hand and said, "It's okay. These instruments are broken. They are already so fragile that they are useless even if they are left alone."
If it breaks into pieces with just a slight touch, what can we gain from looking at its appearance? It is not a piece of paper used to record any information.
After hearing Alka's words, everyone became curious and began to observe the surroundings.
As they touched, various objects began to show signs of damage.
Almost all objects here have become extremely fragile with the passage of time.
Alka walked directly to the innermost part and looked at the object with a blue outline.
He was afraid that his touch would break the blue object into pieces.
After all, all these things around us have disappeared with the passage of time.
If the blue item is the same, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
After all, it was something they worked hard to get.
He walked over and stretched out a finger to touch it lightly. The object shook twice as he touched it, but he could still feel its hardness.
This thing did not become fragile over time like the objects around it.
Alka picked it up immediately.
This is an object that looks like a diamond-shaped crystal, and the edges of the crystal are edged with bronze metal.
Apart from this, the entire object appeared extremely plain. Even the interior of the crystal object did not sparkle and even looked a little dull.
"Your thing isn't broken? What is it?" Jason, who had broken almost all the objects he touched along the way, looked at the diamond-shaped crystal in Alka's hand and asked curiously.
All the objects around, including the table, broke into pieces when touched, but the things in Alka's hand did not break at all .
"This is the purpose of our trip, a magical item."
Hearing this, everyone gathered around and looked at the crystal in Alka's hand curiously.
Wherever they passed, the tables and objects all turned into fragments, and dust composed of some of the fragments began to fill the space.
"These things... have been corroded by magic. How long would it take to create this situation?" Simon seemed to have discovered the reason why these objects were so fragile and couldn't help but sigh.
I can't imagine that an object could be corroded by magic like this. It would take a period of time that is too long to even imagine.
He shook his head, looked at the expressions of the crowd, and then began to check the only object in Alka's hand.
After such a long time, this object is still well preserved.
It must be a very sophisticated magical item, and it may even be able to autonomously absorb the surrounding magical energy, otherwise it would not be possible to be stored for such a long time without being damaged.
Ordinary items and magical items placed in a magical environment will certainly display different conditions over time.
This completely piqued his curiosity.
"So what is this thing?" Lucelia asked nearby.
Hearing this, Alka looked at her strangely and shook his head: "Shouldn't I ask you?"
After all, only Lucelia had seen the information recorded on the drawings, and only she could understand it.
What exactly this thing is should be recorded in those materials.
"Oh, yes." Lucelia patted her head in a trance when she heard this. She just forced the words on the paper to be imprinted in her mind.
I began to recall the words I had just seen and interpret them.
Looking at Lucilia's appearance, Xia Daiti smiled and couldn't help but complain: "It seems that your memory and recollection don't match."
"Hehe, this is my most proud skill. I can remember it just by looking at it once."
Lucilia smiled and replied, "This object should be the finished product in the data. It seems to be the first successfully manufactured object, called the Magic Gathering Stone, also known as the Magic Gathering Device.
From the records above, it seems to be related to the gathering of magic power, but the specific function is not mentioned in the information I have seen."
After all, she had only seen a small part of it, and the rest of the stacked information had already been blown away by the wind.
Alka looked at the crystal in his hand, thought for a moment and asked, "Should I... give it a try?"
"I suggest that we use it after we get out. There is not much magic power left in this space. If we absorb it, it is likely to cause instability in the entire space." Julia suggested.
Hearing this, everyone nodded immediately.
It's better to listen to Julia on this matter.
"Lucelia."
Hearing Alka's call, Lucilia nodded and was about to open her mouth to recite it in reverse.
She suddenly saw something in front of her and jumped over.
"Wait a minute, there is something like a booklet there, it has not disappeared."
Then he let her take it and held it in his arms.
Then they recited the spell they had just entered in reverse.
After the unknown language was recited in reverse, everyone immediately disappeared from the spot.
Some magic power was consumed, some magic power was taken away, and the magic power in the space was reduced significantly.
All that was left was a space with little magic power left and about to be destroyed, as well as dust all over the sky and debris all over the ground.
It was the same trance-like feeling, coupled with a sense of weightlessness.
As everything before their eyes went dark, they were once again back on top of the ruins.
Exactly the same place they entered.
But it is obvious that the breathing and flow of magic power outside are much better than in that space.
“Crack!”
Hearing this sound, Julia immediately yelled, "Quickly retreat, the space we just came out of is broken!"
Hearing this, the people who had just come out immediately rolled back on the spot without any suspicion.
And then the cracking sound was heard, and something like a crack appeared in the air.
Everyone moved away immediately.
