When he stepped down the ancient stone ladder, Arthur really began to appreciate the grandeur of this ancient town.
Instead of winding down along the stone walls of the Great Rift Valley, the narrow channel directly hollowed out a large number of mountains and dug straight.
The further down, the mountain walls on both sides of the stone ladder will become higher and higher, and the light will gradually dim. Only the top of the head and both ends are shining. The feeling of suffocation makes people want to pass quickly or evacuate quickly.
Dafei jumped up and down beside Arthur. Because the road was narrow, he couldn''t fly at all.
Arthur took his sword and walked carefully.
Although the ghost faced Eagle has proved that there are no other Warcraft here, the strange environment still makes him uneasy. It seems that danger will come at any time. He can feel a little relieved only by holding a weapon.
As he walked to the bottom of the valley, Arthur looked left and right.
Although I don''t know how many years have passed, the stone wall is still very smooth, as flat as a mirror.
This should be specially polished, Arthur thought, probably to prevent Warcraft from climbing.
In addition to the straight down stone stairs, several corridors have been dug on the mountain walls on both sides, which should be the channel to the rock houses on both sides of the Great Rift Valley.
Arthur looked through the light across the corridor and saw the broken door with only a few pieces of wood. He didn''t intend to go forward and find out. Take back your eyes, hold your sword and accelerate to the bottom of the valley.
Time is limited. The magnificent building at the bottom of the valley is his "archaeological" goal, which must contain the most secrets of the town.
When he walked down the last stone ladder, Arthur suddenly had the joy of getting rid of the darkness and being accepted by the light world again.
He turned his head and looked behind him. The steep and narrow stone ladder made him feel at the bottom of the well.
Dafei was also choked. At the moment, he was stretching his broad wings.
"Dafei," he asked, "if it weren''t for me, would you take the initiative to get into this passage?"
"Goo Goo!"
Dafei hissed twice, and his negative attitude was very firm. He even said that when he left later, he would let Arthur continue to lie on his back and it would take him straight up.
"It seems that this design works."
Creatures like Warcraft don''t like to drill into narrow places, which will make them feel uneasy.
After stopping and watching for a while, Arthur was cold with the cold wind behind him. He glanced at the falling stones on the edge of the cliff beside him. He hurried to the center of the valley.
In fact, he was very curious. He wanted to go to the edge of the cliff to see how a city built in the Great Rift Valley should drain water? But time is limited, and it is obviously not a safe place under the cliff.
Because it was deserted all the year round and the slate was full of thick soil and gravel, Arthur quickly walked to the collapsed magnificent building and stood under the wide stone steps to watch.
This should be a temple, Arthur thought, probably built of sandstone, perhaps mined from one side of the cliff.
Arthur was not familiar with the stones. After looking at them for a moment, he stepped up the steps and stood in front of the collapsed dome and stone pillars.
Seeing Arthur staring at the rock, Dafei swayed his body. He quickly put his head in front of the stone and imitated his appearance. He didn''t move, as if he was thinking about it on the wall.
"Hey! You guy, pig Bajie, wear glasses and pretend to be a college student. You can understand what it says!"
Dafei shook the bird''s head and looked blankly.
Arthur smiled angrily, stared at the huge stone in front of him, both explaining and talking to himself: "these are carvings. They should depict the scene of God fighting with demons. These are the words below. They seem to be ''lighting the fire in the night''... I can''t understand them either."
The carvings and handwriting on the rock have been eroded beyond recognition. You can only see a general picture. There are several words that Arthur hasn''t even seen.
"This damn place may have been abandoned for thousands of years."
Looking up at the intact temple on the left, Arthur was secretly frightened.
He couldn''t help thinking about the reason why this magnificent town was abandoned, whether the residents moved to the south, or what disaster happened here, leading to the extinction of the population? Will the people south of the Tungus mountains be their descendants?
Seeing Arthur standing in a daze, he couldn''t stop flying, and his wings patted his shoulder.
"Stop it!" Arthur glared at the guy. "I''ll explain to you when I''m free."
Dafei is now a curious silly bird. Whenever he has a problem he doesn''t understand, he will shout for Arthur to explain it to him. For example, things like "carving" and "devil" mentioned just now.
Arthur walked to the left of the temple. He planned to find a crossing and enter it.
This temple is the most magnificent building Arthur can see. Building such a temple is not a simple project. Arthur can''t even imagine how to put the heavy rock dome on the stone pillars in such a canyon environment.
It can be seen that this town located in the Great Rift Valley once had a very hot belief atmosphere. The square outside the temple may have been filled with Canyon residents who prayed, confessed and sacrificed.
"This..."
Walking over the collapsed stones, he came to the still standing stone column and looked at the sarcophagus in the temple. Arthur was stunned again.
"This ghost place... Doesn''t seem to be a temple... Isn''t it a cemetery?"
The temple is surrounded by transparent, built of huge stone columns and domes, which should be filled with sarcophagus - although the temple has collapsed more than half, Arthur can still roughly imagine the original appearance here.
With doubts in his heart, Arthur stepped closer to the nearest sarcophagus.
It was indeed a sarcophagus, Arthur was sure.
There is a stone slab in front of the sarcophagus. There are traces of rust erosion on it. It should be a long sword, probably the weapon of the owner of the sarcophagus in front of him.
The sarcophagus was also engraved with words. Because of the severe wind erosion, Arthur probably recognized that it was written "the fearless hero andobel sleeps here, and he uses a sharp sword..." there were still some handwriting behind, but it was illegible.
"This is really a cemetery!"
Looking around at the cold sarcophagus around him, Arthur was surprised.
hero?
Who died to protect the town?
It''s really a luxurious cemetery, but now it''s really desolate.
"Gollum! Gollum!"
Just as Arthur was thinking carefully, Dafei shouted excitedly behind him.
Turning his head and looking at the big fly that jumped to the edge of the ruins at some time, Arthur cried discontentedly, "you guy, don''t run around, be careful to be smashed into a dead bird!"
"Gollum, Gollum!"
As he shouted, Dafei jumped sideways, raised his dark wings and pointed aside.
Under the guidance of Dafei, Arthur''s eyes crossed more than ten sarcophagus in front of him and threw them at the stone platform behind him.
The sun leaked from the collapsed dome above and fell on the stone platform, shining a sharp sword with cold light.
