Struggle in the Steam Age

"There is nothing else." The tauren said after scratching his brain for a moment. "We didn't move anything except move the fountain. But according to the legend in the tribe, the later group of humans Many stones with carved patterns have been removed from this place."

After that, the tauren hunter led Lawrence and the others into the land that was obviously leveled. I don't know how this place was treated by the elves, so there is nothing but some grass and small shrubs on the whole land. It is clean and even a little bit unlike the rainforest.

"Look! This place used to be the pool, which was later moved by us." When he reached the largest ruin, the tauren hunter pointed his finger at a small high platform in front of the ruins. Lawrence noticed that there was a square groove on the high platform, which indeed looked like something placed before.

"So where are the carved stones that were removed?" Lawrence asked curiously. "Can you take us to take a look now? I want to see what's wrong with those stones."

"Anyway, our priests didn't think there was anything abnormal in the stones, and even they called the great ancestor spirit to investigate and found nothing wrong." The tauren shook his head gently and muttered, " You humans often do things that are not so normal, such as taking away a lot of useless stones from here."

But even though he said so, he took Lawrence and the others to a place on the side of the largest building that seemed to be a pile of stones, and then pointed to the pile of stones still stacked there. "The stones that you humans took away were not much different from these stones, but they picked out all the seemingly intact parts of the pile of stones, and the rest were left because of damage."

Lawrence stepped forward and examined the pile of stones carefully, and found that these stones were all very good-quality marbles and had various colors. The most important thing is that these stones are carved with various patterns. Although all that is discarded here are broken fragments, just through the exquisite patterns on these fragments, one can imagine how beautiful this church would be if it were built.

Only the elves can make this kind of stone architecture give people an absolute light inspiration through their ingenious design and exquisite craftsmanship, and whether humans or dwarves can build magnificent buildings in terms of technology, they are in The problem of aesthetics will never give people such a light feeling.

Moreover, this pile of stones seems very scattered. It should have been caused by the humans who came here before moving the piles of stones piled together to find what they wanted in order to find what they wanted. And some traces on the ground also prove that some large stone components originally placed here have disappeared in this place.

"Who told me why these people took the stones away?" Narabi scratched the part of the mark left on the ground and asked curiously. "I think these stones are at least several hundred kilograms, and even weigh a few tons at most. Why do those people spend so much effort to remove these stones, is it because these stones are related to magic?"

"There should be no magic." Lawrence said after inspecting the stones left in place. "The only reason those people took the carved stones away was because the elves' artworks were too expensive, so they took Those carved stones with various patterns were sold as fairy art."

Although it sounds unbelievable, it is actually very reasonable. At least Lawrence had heard of many wealthy people and nobles spending a lot of money to buy various crafts made by elves. For example, he had seen a noble manor with a flower pot carved out of colored marble for 120 yuan.

Therefore, it is understandable that these beautiful stones are sold for a large price. After all, these things can be regarded as some kind of luxury goods, and the money they can sell can be regarded as even for the extraordinary. The above is not a small amount of income, and for the investors behind the extraordinary, these incomes are likely to be one of the few incomes after they came to this island.

Before Lawrence came to this island, the island could be said to be extremely desolate, so the reason why the lords before him changed like a revolving lantern is understandable. Because no one wants to have the kind of job that not only makes no money but also loses a lot of money when being a lord.

Therefore, it is understandable that a certain human lord, after discovering the stone sculptures made by these elves, sells them for money, it is normal whether these people are to raise a development fund or make a fortune before leaving.

I don’t know if it was too clean by those who came to search before, or the building was not built to that level at that time, so after Lawrence and Nora inspected the entire building, there was no word or a badge representing the gods. , So there is no way to investigate further except to make sure that this church belongs to elves.

It is normal that there are no emblems of the gods, because those orthodox religious sites are usually built after the site is built before the final construction of those signs to determine the true identity of this religious site. At the same time, placing a badge on a religious site can also be seen as a ritual to sanctify the entire site.

However, it is too strange that there are no words or story-like paintings and reliefs related to the gods enshrined in the religious site, because these things were built with the construction of the religious site. In theory, this remains There should be no trace of the construction progress.

"Could it be the people who came before that moved the important things away?" Nora flew to a remnant low wall again and checked before flying down to Lawrence. "I have searched almost everything here, but I haven't found anything that records this god, which is obviously abnormal."

"It should not be." Lawrence carefully inspected several traces that had been dug up on the wall and denied the puppet's point of view, then pointed to those traces. "Look, although the stones with patterns here were taken away by the people before, but the traces on the remaining stones show that the stones that were taken away were only carved with some simple flower and grass patterns. The things we were looking for..."

"Hey, big guy." After hearing Lawrence's words, Nora flew out and stopped the tauren hunter and then asked what she hadn't figured out. "You tauren are the first to come to this place, so do you see anything in the center of this largest room?"

With that said, Nora pointed to a location behind the center of the main building where there was only a circle of heavily weathered half-high walls. That place is one piece higher than the ground, and if it is arranged according to a normal religious place, this place should be a place for the gods.

"No~www.ltnovel.com~ The tauren shook his head after thinking about it. "According to the legend passed down from generation to generation, our ancestors only saw one in front of this hall when they first discovered this place. The fountain was constantly spraying water, but other than that, we didn't find anything that looked like a finished product. "

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Nora nodded after hearing the hunter's words, and then said, "My brother and I are here to take a look. You don't need to be with us. We will call you when we finish watching."

"Then I'll go around for a while, you can just shout out when you need me." For a tauren hunter, it is definitely more interesting than staying here and waiting for Lawrence and the others to inspect the ruins. Besides, there is no danger in this place. So he quickly left this clearing with his weapon on his back.

"What did you find?" Watching the tauren hunter's back go further and further, Lawrence began to use the soul connection to contact Nora. Because he knew that Nora had found an excuse to dismiss the tauren at this time, and must have found something extraordinary during the inspection just now.

"There is a problem with this platform." Nora said, pointing to the small platform in the middle of the building. "I felt a strange smell on it."
