005 Ten thousand years
()
At the end of November 2177, the large resource collection base on the moon was destroyed by unknown attacks, followed by a large astronaut ship that had just been built, and was hit by unknown attacks and crashed directly into the earth along with countless red cosmic matter from the orbit of the moon satellite.
These unknown substances are crystal-like long diamond shapes. Even if they rub against the atmosphere during the fall, reducing part of their volume, most of the substances still fall on the earth, leaving craters of large or small for the earth. Every day, tens of thousands of such substances attack the earth from the orbit of the moon. The dust raised up blocks the sunlight of the entire earth within three days. Such dense attacks lasted for a whole year, and there was no complete building on the entire surface of the earth.
A year later, the frequency of mass falling in the universe decreased significantly, but there were still hundreds of unknown substances falling regularly above every day. Although once or twice would not have much impact on the shelter, the number of attacks was too high. Gradually, the terrain around the shelter began to change. Because of this, the new humans staying in the shelter had to come out of it and face the living environment that was already extremely harsh on the surface.
The time when unknown substances attacked the earth lasted for 1,500 years, and the ice age lasted for more than 2,000 years. Even though it was as powerful as new humans, they died one by one in this catastrophe that lacked food, sunlight and temperature. But even so, the new humans still maintained a group order of about 150 years. However, as the environment became worse and worse and fewer resources, their survival instinct in DNA finally overwhelmed the hidden DNA information of "obedience". Large-scale internal struggles of new humans broke out. For resources and survival, they formed different groups and fought each other, and the number of new humans became smaller and smaller.
Two thousand five hundred years later, when the Ice Age was about to end, the surviving descendants of new humans had forgotten the words of their ancestors and the virtues of their ancestors. They only had the instinct of fighting, and would kill their kind for a bloody piece of meat, and even ate the same tribe for survival.
The dust that had covered the sky for more than two thousand years finally gradually became thinner. The sun, which had been missing for more than two thousand years, finally appeared in the dim sky again. The descendants of new humans were bathed in the faint sunlight and bowed to the warm fireball. As time went by, the glaciers began to melt slowly, and green plants began to slowly rule the earth again.
The number of new humans that survived were less than a thousand. They lost the knowledge of their ancestors and could only make simple iron tools. Although they were all handsome men and beautiful women with extremely long lifespans, if this continued, they would perish sooner or later.
Out of an instinctive fear of genocide, the new humans collectively subconsciously created the totem of the Sun God. They prayed to the sun every day and night, hoping that their race would be continued. Perhaps a god really heard their voice. Soon after, they encountered a new race, a huge human tribe that looked exactly the same as them, but had weak bodies and a very short lifespan, and could only use stone tools.
The new humans were as excited as lost ants to find an ant nest. All members joined the stone tribe and carefully protected the future of this new race as the Sun God servant.
Humanity’s concept of time is really too small for the universe. Ten thousand years after the universe disaster, human beings have new civilizations, new languages, and several new kingdoms. The number of human beings has gradually begun to increase. As they slowly expand, the remains of ten thousand years ago were slowly discovered by them.
Facing the technological products they could not understand, the words they could not understand, and the metal tools they could not make, the post-humans who were only at the level of the feudal period felt deeply inferior. At the same time, they also worshiped the world ten thousand years ago from the bottom of their hearts. They believed that humans ten thousand years ago had obtained the magic of God, and they used magic to create these various and mysterious objects. Therefore, they called the world ten thousand years ago: the age of ancient magic.
The Blackstone Hotel in Maple Leaf City is crowded with people, but the third floor seems much quieter. In a room, four dusty people sit at a round table, three men and one woman. The four of them are all dressed in different styles, but they have one thing in common, all of which are blonde and blue-eyed.
There was a map on the table, and one of the big men with beards on his face whispered: "Ross, go outside and keep watch, don't let anyone get close to us."
The woman in close-fitting leather armor stood up and walked out of the room silently, while closing the door along.
"This is a map I got at a great price." The man said with a gloomy face: "For this map, Amro and Shaya both died at the hands of the Scorpion Mercenary Group. I know that this thing is not enough for our small mercenary group, so I found two of them to work together to get the wealth inside."
An old man in a black robe squinted his eyes and looked at the map on the table. He also captured the ram whiskers sparsely on his chin and said strangely: "Lian, I have seen similar maps before. Isn't this the ruins of the Royal Palace of the Lossomen that had been destroyed for 335 years? That place had been shattered by the Kate Kingdom that invaded at that time, and would not even leave a copper coin, believe me."
The big man Len laughed: "It is worthy of being a knowledgeable alchemist in Maple Leaf City. Bode. Indeed, the soldiers of the Kate Kingdom who invaded at that time snatched away all the things they could rob. However, many people did not discover some wealth, but the people who discovered it could not take away. In order not to let others discover it, he secretly drew this map and saved it to this day."
"But he did not find the right opportunity to get the wealth back. Before he died, he handed over the map to his descendants. However, his descendants were too useless and had no ability to get the wealth at all, so he secretly sold the map and exchanged for a few gold coins to live a life."
The other three were young men. His hands were white and smooth skin. He was a rare beauty. He was also holding a golden wooden stick in his hand. A red crystal as big as a fist was embedded at the top of the stick, reflecting the red light that people felt was murderous.
This young man is very noble. He also wears a long robe, which is more exquisite and gorgeous than the black robe of the gold-practicing warlock Bode: "Lian, I am very busy and don't have time to listen to the legendary stories of this map, nor do I care about the grudges and feelings between you and the Scorpion Mercenary Group. Just tell me what the treasure is."
"As you wish, Lord Zhan Shibang." Ryan gave a slight salute, then his face changed, and his eyes became excited: "You two, you absolutely wouldn't have imagined that the place marked on this map has an ancient ruin."
"Impossible. If it were a ruin from the ancient magic era, why did the Solomon Dynasty not only not excavate it, but even built the palace on it. This is too unreasonable." Bod, a witchcraft warlock, shook his head and said he didn't believe it, nor was it possible.
Zhan Shibang pond pondered for a while, but said, "No, it is possible. The Luoshomen Dynasty existed for three thousand years before it was destroyed. It is the longest dynasty so far, three thousand years, and many kingdoms cannot even support it for three hundred years. So let's imagine that the founder of Luoshomen, who knew that it was an ancient ruin, built the palace on it."
"Wait!" the alchemist stood up suddenly: "What is your point, is there a complete tomb left over from the ancient magic era?"
Zhan Shibang's fingers gently tapped on the table, his face full of confidence: "Only this possibility, my soul is telling me, this possibility, no, not "possible", it is a fact. The Solomon Dynasty could exist for three thousand years, which was definitely stolen the "divine fortune" of the ancient tomb. But after the "divine fortune" was absorbed, the Solomon Dynasty was immediately sent to God, so in just a few days, the huge dynasty broke out in wars and was destroyed by the Kate Kingdom, which was less than one-tenth of its size. The truth of the fact has been hidden for more than three thousand years. The Solomon Dynasty is really amazing."
Zhan Shibang said with a complacent look: "When I read history books, I always wondered why the Solomon dynasty was destroyed by a weak Kate Kingdom. So that's the case. Speaking of which, Ryan, I want to thank you. If you hadn't brought this message, I wouldn't understand. I felt that my soul was now a small step closer to the body, and I felt comfortable all over."
Ryan lowered his head slightly: "It is my honor to be able to solve your problems for Lord Zhan Shibang."
"I will reward you if you have merits." Zhan Shibang held the red crystal on his wooden stick with his left hand, and tried his best to pull it down, but he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and could not separate the crystal from the wooden stick. He gasped and said depressedly: "I remember when I installed it three years ago, it was not so difficult... Ryan, come, push the crystal down, it is yours... But, the magical staff must be returned to me."
"Yes!" Ryan stood up and asked loudly, while holding the wooden stick carefully with both hands and put the crystal in front of him. After seeing the traces of the fit between the two, he gently pulled the crystal off the tip of the wooden stick. He carefully placed the red crystal on the wooden table in front of him, and then respectfully returned the wooden stick to Zhan Shibang with both hands.
Debor looked at the red crystal with envious eyes and said, "Lian, you guy is so lucky."
Ryan lowered his eyebrows to the young man and said with a pleasing look: "This is the generous and generous Lord Zhan Shibang."
Everyone loves to hear good things. Zhan Shibang laughed, and then he said, "Since it is an ancient tomb, if other people know about it, the three of us will definitely not be able to protect it by the ability of the three of us. Moreover, the protection measures for the ancient tombs are very good. The excavation time often takes one or two years, and this matter will never be hidden for long. The people from the Scorpion Mercenary Group will definitely come to cause trouble for us. So I plan to report this to my teacher, and he will deal with other forces and the Scorpion Mercenary Group. The work of digging the tomb will be handed over to you two mercenary groups. After the subsequent income, my teacher will be four, and the three of us will each have two. What do you think?"
Ryan and Bode looked at each other and said happily: "In the name of the Sun God!"
Zhan Shibang was very satisfied with the attitude of the two men. He nodded and said, "It's settled. I'll go home first. If the matter is done, I will send someone to notify you."
The two of them sent Zhan Shibang downstairs and left the Black Stone Ring Hall. Bode left the hotel because he wanted to prepare for excavation items. Ryan returned to his room. When they left, Rose also returned to the room, standing in front of the table, with bright eyes looking at the red crystals on the table.
Ryan smiled, took out his scimitar from under the bed, and was everything at the red crystal, splitting it in half. He picked up one of them and handed it to Rose, and said, "You half, I half. You fuse first, I will help you guard the gate, and then I will fuse again, you will help me guard the gate."
