Chapter 1,355 The Sorrow of the Black Forest(1/3)
Scarcity is a common status quo in the development of lords.
There seem to be many channels for lords to obtain supplies.
It's plundering, points exchange, and market trade.
But in the process of development, it is common for most lords to be stretched thin.
I haven't lived a prosperous life for a few days at all.
Either resources are needed here or resources are needed there.
Just like building a wall, there are two blocks on the east side and several layers on the west side.
Even big investors like Zong have experienced this stage.
Especially when the territory transitioned twice to a state city and a giant city.
There have been situations where resources have been stretched.
Ordinary lords would only be more embarrassed than him.
In order to obtain resources as much as possible and improve development progress.
All lords are looking for ways to expand their access to resources.
Among them, ruins exploration is undoubtedly one of the most popular methods.
There are many examples among lords of getting rich by exploring those ancient ruins.
However, there is also a high threshold for exploring the ruins.
Strength can only be regarded as the foundation, and more importantly, information.
Including the location of the ruins, possible gains and dangers within them, etc.
Without a guide module, most ordinary people's methods of finding ruins are to read books, inquire among the aborigines, or collect ancient items suspected to be related to the ruins.
The first two methods are the mainstream methods for exploring ruins information.
The three Smectas in front of them obtained relevant information from the villages in the mountains.
This dark forest has existed for thousands of years.
Has quite a long history.
At the same time, it is also a mysterious and forbidden place for the nearby indigenous people.
Very few people who fall into it by mistake can come out.
Occasionally one or two will often become crazy.
He muttered "red sparrow" repeatedly.
There was once a hunter who had tamed a flying monster and took the risk of flying through the sky.
But I didn't see the so-called red sparrow.
The whole forest was dark, gloomy and lonely.
It is like a black scar on the earth, which makes people instinctively feel fearful.
The reason why the three of them were able to discover the clues here can be traced back to a month ago.
There is a village called "Hun'an" outside the mountains, where there is a dilapidated ancient church.
It is said that it was the early form of faith of the Holy Light Temple a long time ago.
The construction technique of this church is very rough, using square bluestones.
The stacked style is like the Mayan pyramids on the other side of the earth.
There are still remaining carvings on many bluestones.
Most of them are elements such as shining gods and angels.
The lord's intuition let the three of them know that there might be something here.
The church has been in ruins for a long time and is filled with silt.
No details can be seen from the half-destroyed statue, and only weeds are growing wantonly on the ground.
The villagers usually ignore this place.
Sometimes they would come and pry away one or two pieces of bluestone.
These bluestones are very heavy, thanks to which the church can be preserved.
The three of them searched around inside the church, which was almost filled with silt, for a long time but found nothing, and finally decided to dig out the silt.
After spending several days going back and forth to mobilize manpower.
After almost two days of dredging work, they finally dug out and removed all the mud in the church.
In the next few days, they basically spent time in church.
Finally, a secret drawer was found on the base of the broken stone statue.
The dark side is covered with a layer of runic seals.
After being broken open using violent means, a diary-like book was found inside.
There is also a simplified map drawn on tree bark.
The bark map turned into powder when exposed to light.
Fortunately, the three Smectas were quick and used the recording function of [Channel] as soon as they opened the dark drawer to take pictures for their files.
The diary is written in an unknown ancient script.
The old man in the village said it was an early holy text.
If you go to the Holy City, there should be elders who can translate.
The old man could only barely make out a few bytes.
Because it is too fragmented, it does not form a sentence structure and cannot be effectively interpreted.
Unable to decipher the text, the three of them were troubled.
You can only intercept part of the content by offering a reward on the [World Channel] to find the lord who knows the language.
Billions of lords are scattered in this world, like billions of seeds.
Once the base number is large, anything can happen.
They finally found a lord who knew the text.
After verifying it with the characters mastered by the old man, the other party translated almost one-fifth of the content, and some of it was written in a special way, which the guy didn't quite understand.
This translated fifth means:
"The God of War among the believers sleeps in the dark forest, where there are the ordnance and weapons left by the holy warriors, as well as the indelible shame and regret."
Some minor details were also mentioned.
For example, the God of War smashed the statue of the dark god in anger, and used his sword to destroy a large number of dark believers.
It looks more like a traditional heroic epic.
And what was drawn on that bark map happened to be the route in the dark forest.
This made the three Smectas interested.
In order to decipher this clue, they spent nearly three weeks.
Most of the time after the defensive challenge was spent here.
The three of them would not give up on the clues to the ruins that they spent so much effort to figure out.
They belong to the same [Legion], and the place of arrival is very close.
Plus, they were all sticks, so they naturally joined together.
After confirming the clues, the three returned to their respective territories.
Each person selected more than a hundred of the most elite warriors in the territory to accompany them.
After trekking for many days, we finally arrived at our destination.
It has been two days since I entered the dark forest.
This damn place is really too big.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way and no monsters attacked us.
Instead, they encountered several waves of attacks from monsters in the ordinary forest outside the dark forest.
Following the guidance of the bark map, they struggled to find reference objects.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There will be a stone bar hundreds of meters high around the place where the God of War sleeps.
The stone is oval in shape, inserted horizontally on the ground, and can be seen from a long distance.
According to the original words recorded in the booklet.
