Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 273: Original Runes

Su Lun looked at the relief and found out that it was no longer the words [ordinary stone relief] shown in the previous illusion, but also had a detailed explanation.

【Relief containing special rules】

Detailed explanation: The relief carved by the ancient dwarf master craftsman; you saw some *** rune language; if your understanding is high enough, you may be able to observe something else;

“Another information beyond cognition?”

Su Lun looked at him with caution in his eyes.

This situation is not unfamiliar to him. It also happened when he identified the god-level fallen angel.

But that was once.

The amount of knowledge he has now is already astonishing. There is nothing in this world that exceeds his cognition, but it must be very difficult to encounter.

I didn’t expect to meet him again now!

"How advanced rune language is this?"

Seeing this, Su Lun stopped thinking about leaving.

He looked at the Hanged Man on the relief and saw what fell from the tree, and then he realized that it was really some kind of rune language, and it was of a ridiculously high level.

If it is identified as an ordinary treasure, his heartbeat may not even fluctuate.

But this string of "***" really aroused his curiosity.

But after walking closer to the stone carving and looking at it carefully, Su Lun didn’t see anything special about the stone carving...

Touched, same thing.

"Do you need a high level of understanding to see it?"

Su Lun looked at the identification method and an idea flashed in his mind.

He has two things in him that can increase his understanding.

The first is the Daru Tribe’s [Shixian Mead], which can temporarily provide an increase in comprehension. However, this kind of understanding is more related to the inspiration of poetry creation. The higher the drunkenness, the higher the understanding.

In such a dangerous cursed space, he would not dare to get drunk.

The other type is the [Mind Flayer's Egg] obtained previously. It was determined that eating it can temporarily increase your understanding.

High protein, non-toxic.

Su Lun felt as if the choice was clear.

He took out a translucent egg the size of a fist, raised his brow slightly, and put it into his mouth.

If you can’t swallow it in one bite, you must chew it several times.

I thought

Hey, it tastes pretty good?

Probably like caviar, your mouth is full of juice when you bite it.

Su Lun felt a little weird. He ate rotten meat before, and now he ate mind flayer eggs, which were always weird things.

I always feel like I am going further and further on the road to imitating the man who stands at the top of the food chain?

However, the effect was immediate.

After eating a mind flayer egg, the world in his eyes suddenly became clear.

It was a very wonderful experience, as if one could see the essence of the world.

Su Lun focused his eyes on the relief, and sure enough he saw some ripple-like halos, as if there were some shadows shaking.

He tried hard to concentrate, trying to see clearly, but in the end he fell short.

"Not enough understanding?"

Su Lun thought of the reason.

Unfortunately, you can only eat one mind flayer egg and it will not stack.

Thinking about it, he could only take out the Shixian Mead and take a sip.

I also muttered in my heart, I hope it is not mixing cephalosporin with wine, causing poisoning or something.

She didn't drink much wine, but as soon as the feeling of tipsiness came over her, Su Lun's expression immediately became excited.

Because before his eyes, a hazy picture like a slide projection appeared.

As if time passed by, he saw the entire process of completing the relief carving.

Some dwarf craftsmen about one meter tall carved a huge stone into its current form and transported this temple from a distant place. Then the light and shadow flow, countless giants come and go among the stone sculptures, and the picture disappears in a blink of an eye.

Then it slowed down.

In front of Su Lun, he saw an old human man wearing a white robe standing in front of the stone sculpture. He reached out and gestured with something in front of the relief of the Hanged Man.

Looking again, the light and shadow dispersed.

"What's going on?"

Su Lun looked confused.

That's it?

I seemed to have seen something, but I seemed not to have seen it at all.

The temporary increase in understanding is rapidly declining, and the picture in Su Lun's eyes is becoming increasingly blurry.

Relief, also known as ordinary relief.

Just when he thought he had wasted a mind flayer egg, Su Lun suddenly thought of something.

He recalled what he had seen before, moved his position, and then followed the movement of the old man's fingers and drew a mysterious symbol connected end to end on the stone sculpture.

There was no response the first time, so Su Lun gathered dark spiritual power between his fingers again.

This time, the symbol was drawn out, as if it triggered some special restriction. Looking at it again, one of the runes on the relief shone brightly.

"Hey"

Su Lun was surprised to see that an ordinary stone turned into an item.

[Imitated original runes]

Detailed explanation:? ? ?

There is only a name, and then a series of question marks.

When Su Lun saw this, instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed.

The words "original runes" are all too familiar to rune masters.

In the field of alchemy, the essence of runes is "magic patterns", which express the abstract concepts of various laws in intuitive concrete patterns. Through some special combinations and arrangements, various magical effects can be created.

According to ancient books, when the original creator created the world, the chaos of the world's laws had not yet completely collapsed and transformed into all things. The chaotic laws condensed into some symbols, which are "original runes".

This is recognized by alchemists as the origin of all runes.

That kind of rune has appeared in various myths and legends. It is the dream of countless rune masters.

The Omniscient Eye can identify this name, even if it is a counterfeit, it makes Su Lun feel like he has picked up a big treasure!

Looking at that "???", this is definitely a top-notch item.

Su Lun felt very happy.

I almost lost my life just now, but I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise and I found such a treasure.

Although I don’t know what it is used for, it is always good to have it in your hand

Su Lun put away the runes, and after looking at the relief and identifying it as an [ordinary stone relief], he knew there was nothing left to take.

This giant city is more mysterious than expected, and it also contains opportunities.

However, the danger is real.

Su Lun was not greedy. There were some small sounds coming from his ears. It sounded like monsters in the distance were attracted by the smell of blood here.

After leaving the temple, he quickly walked up the steps in the square, and then came to the huge palace on the top.

What is surprising is that there are no traces of battle in this palace.

Only in the center of the hall, a dark passage leading to the ground opened on the ground engraved with complex magic lines.

Those people from the Luying Royal Regiment obviously went down. Valley

Observed for a while.

Su Lun then carefully walked into the hall.

After entering the door, I saw two rows of stone sculptures of giant guards beside me. They looked solemn, tall and majestic, holding swords, spears, axes and halberds.

"That's it!!!"

Su Lun looked along the palace. He thought there was a wall in the distance, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a stone sculpture of a mountain-like throne!

On the throne, sat a strange man with a hundred hands and fifty heads.

Su Lun originally thought that the dozens of meters tall statues of giant guards around him were already tall enough, but in front of the face of the weird man on the throne, they were no higher than his knees.

"The hundred-armed giant in myths and legends? Could it be that the previous king of this city was a hundred-armed giant?"

When Su Lun saw this sculpture, he felt a strong sense of mystery.

The strange image on the throne is the hundred-armed giant in myths and legends who stands at the top of the battle, can tear apart dragons with his hands, and trample gods with his feet!

As if a period of history that had been covered by the dust of history had been revealed, the heavy sense of time made Su Lun feel excited inexplicably.

No wonder those adventurers and navigators risk their lives to explore various dangerous places. Uncovering some prehistoric secrets yourself and improving your understanding of the world is really a very satisfying and fulfilling thing!

Su Lun squinted his eyes and carefully looked at everything in the hall.

Think about it, he stepped into that dark underground passage

Su Lun knew there was an underground palace here when he peeled off the soul fragments of the [Abbas Thousand-Eyed Mountain of Flesh] before.

So after entering, it was not surprising to see the stairs going down to hell.

From the moment I stepped onto the stairs, I felt like I had entered another world, and the aura of the dead around me was getting stronger and stronger.

Su Lun guessed that this underground palace might be the key to sealing the "Place of God Burial".

After suffering the loss of illusion before, Su Lun became more careful and did not dare to continue to share the field of vision with the black teeth he released.

The black crow himself is not low in intelligence. He can roughly know the situation ahead if he occasionally comes back to communicate with it. Although the progress is slower, it is still safe.

This staircase leading to the underground seems to be endless and long. There is no light source, not even a space crack.

The further down you go, the red light from the exit behind you becomes weaker and weaker, gradually becoming the size of a sesame seed, and finally disappears completely.

Su Lun did not dare to create a light source, as that would attract monsters in the darkness.

He was plunged into absolute darkness.

Fortunately, he has mastered certain spatial laws and can distinguish the existence of steps under his feet, so he can walk fairly smoothly.

Su Lun walked down step by step,

The stairs seem to have no end.

Absolute darkness, absolute dark gold, will instinctively activate the fear in people's hearts.

He could clearly hear his heartbeat and breathing, as well as the thoughts in his mind.

This state has lasted for a long time, and the thoughts in your mind are as clear as someone talking in your ear.

It will cause people to have a steady stream of mental hallucinations.

But Su Lun has become accustomed to this state of loneliness, and his departure went smoothly.

"There's something in the dark"

Su Lun clearly noticed some abnormal soul fluctuations in his perception.

But it was probably because he had no life on him, no light source, and he didn't even make much sound, so he didn't alert those beings in the darkness.

There are also some abnormal structures next to the stairs, which look like mechanisms.

Su Lun did not study what those mechanisms were and carefully avoided them.

However, after walking for a while, he stopped.

"I'm trapped? No wonder I haven't reached the end after walking for so long"

In the darkness, Su Lun’s face was expressionless, which was not surprising.

If this underground place is a sealed place, then some restrictions are normal.

"Not a visual illusion, nor a physical maze"

Su Lun felt it and confirmed something.

He stopped moving forward, dragging his chin and began to recall the path he had taken before, thinking: "Every three hundred and five steps, the steps will repeat. Have I encountered something similar to the 'Penrose Stairs'? ”

He thought of the prompts identified by the Omniscient Eye before he came in, "No wonder I felt something abnormal in the space before. The space here is chaotic."

Because Su Lun was proficient in some space laws, he quickly discovered the anomaly.

Obviously, this is not the three-dimensional space in sensory perception. It may be a higher dimension, or several chaotic spaces are intertwined, resulting in this kind of infinitely downward stairs that cannot be walked out.

In this fantasy world, this thing is not unusual.

Sometimes, the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, and intelligence can deceive the brain and give some wrong judgments, making people feel trapped.

As for the staircase in front of me, I didn’t even detect any abnormality in spatial perception. It was obviously more advanced.

Su Lun didn't think of a way to crack it for the time being, so he released a silk thread from his hand and used the stupidest method.

The witch's hair has infinite length. No matter how complex this space is, it cannot be infinite.

He kept walking.

The silk thread is placed all the way.

In his mind, there was soon a line outlined with silk thread, gradually forming a line diagram that was not straight downward.

Soon, Su Lun discovered something unusual.

He bumped into what he felt was a "wall" in his spatial perception.

Then he got out.

Seeing that the stepped underground building was no longer in front of him, Su Lun muttered: "It's a very clever space restriction. The designer even considered those with space abilities."

At the same time, he thought of something, squinted his eyes and said, "Those people in Lu Ying are very familiar with this underground palace."

Su Lun himself did not encounter those people, which meant that they passed quickly and did not trigger any mechanisms.

Obviously, they have a map or a special way to crack it.

Su Lun prefers the former.

Being able to crack the space staircase just now is not a matter of the level of the stairs. It requires a lot of special abilities.

But he couldn't understand it even more. Where did those guys get the information from?

Also, what are you doing here?

Su Lun's thoughts were racing again. He looked at the tall tunnel covered with roots in front of him and discovered something at the same time.

This corridor is like the previous city wall outside, composed of countless huge stones.

The air was slightly moist, and tangled roots emerged from the rock cracks.

Identification showed that these tree roots were the bodies of Druid's sacred trees.

"This timeline should be after the Daru tribe's magical skill [Bury the Gods] was cast. I don't know how many years ago it was on the ground, but this is five hundred years ago? It's really a chaotic timeline."

Su Lun frowned slightly and stepped into the corridor.

He didn't go far before he saw a fork in the road, and there was more than one.

Suellen knew this was an underground maze.

Originally, he needed to be cautious, but his intuition told him that it was not necessary.

But there are traces of the passing of large troops on the ground. The people of the Luying Royal Regiment passed through here not long ago.

They know the ruins very well, and Su Lun feels that following the traces can save a lot of effort.

While walking, Su Lun saw blood stains and corpses in the corridor.

There are humans and monsters.

The human corpses are naturally members of the Luying Royal Legion, and the corpses of those monsters are all kinds of strange, and some new monsters have appeared here.
