Chapter 215 052: Ruins
Airship, Roshi's cabin.
The airship had obviously cost a huge amount of resources to build, so why was the important passenger cabin so crudely constructed?
The cabin of the airship only has one single room, which is less than one square meter in total. In addition to a bed, it can only accommodate a small table. Such space is not as good as the apprentice dormitory where Luo Xi first lived, and it is not even as good as some carriage compartments. After all, wizards' carriages are usually equipped with space spells.
"Why on earth is this happening?"
Rosie decided to ask Richard about this question the next time she saw him.
Pulling back his wandering thoughts, he focused on the matter at hand.
At this moment, he was sitting at the table with a notebook in his hand and a quill pen in his hand, writing something quickly in the notebook.
He was making observations and recording the harpy he saw today.
Observation and recording are cognitive skills that every wizard must master. The moment he saw the harpy, all he wanted to do was to record these strange creatures.
Therefore, he observed the harpy very carefully when he was on the observation deck before.
"The hair is silver-white, and it seems that the whole tribe has the same hair. This should be the appearance of the harpy."
"The feathers are very thick and have a metallic luster, so I guess they should be very hard."
"The Banshee's Wail is a direct mental stimulation, but it also comes with a certain amount of physical attack. It's hard to judge without direct contact, but the intensity of the attack can cause the airship to shake, so it shouldn't be too low."
He said that there were too few records about harpies in the books he had come across, and the types were varied, many of which were very different from what he had observed personally.
"It would be great if we could catch a live one to study."
Luo Xi was very curious about how the harpy made such a powerful sound. If he could master the technique and replicate it through magic, it would be a huge boost to his own strength.
"I will definitely give it a try when I become stronger."
A single harpy is not that scary, but harpies are a social species. With his current strength, he dare not rashly provoke these terrifying creatures.
Soon, Luo Xi completed the record work of the harpy, which also included a sketch of the harpy.
"Complete the record of the Harpy carefully, time point +7 days."
Afterwards, Luo Xi took out a few more pieces of paper, which were all some atmospheric biological data recorded today. Coming to this world for the first time, many things were very new to Luo Xi.
After summarizing all the information in the notebook, Luo Xi put it away carefully. This was all the knowledge he had accumulated.
After finishing everything, he put down his notebook and quill pen, raised his head and looked forward.
Directly in front of the table is a round window, through which you can clearly see the scenery outside.
It was already late at night, but the sky was not as silent as the land. On the contrary, the night here seemed more lively.
There are some strange lantern-like creatures floating in the air. Their bodies are transparent and glow, illuminating the airspace like the stars in the night sky.
These are star creatures, a type of atmospheric organisms that can simulate starlight. It is said that when you look up at the starry sky at night on land, part of what you see is actually them.
Under the influence of these star objects, the various atmospheric creatures around them also became clear, and they were still swimming around, hunting and being hunted as they did during the day.
In this strange world, there seems to be no distinction between day and night.
After flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters for more than a month, the airship suddenly left the airspace and descended in altitude, returning from the sky world to the land world.
Richard said that this was because the airspace ahead was filled with dark cloud beasts, a strange species that lived in the sky world. They looked no different from the dark clouds in the sky and also possessed the ability of thunder and lightning.
These dark cloud beasts are very powerful and appear in groups. Once they appear, they almost cover an entire airspace and are very difficult to deal with. Even if there are sages on board, it is still very dangerous if you encounter them.
Therefore, the airship lowered its altitude and returned to the land world, flying low through this airspace.
The structure of the airship itself is designed to fly at high altitudes. In the low altitude area several hundred meters above the ground, it will be affected by the ambient air currents and the flight speed will be greatly reduced.
But this is also a good thing, as it allows me to appreciate the different scenery of this area.
They are currently in the ruins of the ancient city area. Standing at this height and looking down, they can have a clear view of the scenery in this area.
It is a group of ruins composed of a series of dilapidated man-made buildings. Looking around, there are densely packed broken walls, broken roads, collapsed castles and towers, collapsed stone bridges, etc.
In fact, ruins are nothing new in this world. Nearly ten thousand years of history have left many ruins in various places in this world. However, those ruins are generally single and limited in scale. Those that have reached the level shown below are unique in the entire continent.
This place is too big.
The ruins below are endless. You know, Luo Xi and his team have been flying in the air for more than a month. They started from the edge of the ruins below, but now there are still ruins below. The unchanging scenery cannot be seen in the camera at all.
This shows how big the super urban community below is.
Sitting on the table of the observation deck, Luo Xi looked at the magnificent scenery below and exclaimed: "How big was Sigrama in the past?"
Richard on the other side said, "That's a big deal."
"I heard that they conquered hundreds or even thousands of wizard domains and connected them together to build magnificent magic cities. We will basically pass by these ruins in the next few months. These are what they left behind."
Luo Xi was surprised and asked, "How many more months of flying through the ruins will we have to do?"
Richard said, “Yes.”
Luo Xi found it unbelievable. It was hard to imagine how prosperous such a terrifying super city cluster must have been before it was destroyed.
What he couldn't understand even more was how a powerful civilization that could build such a large-scale city cluster could be lost in history? Why did such a powerful civilization eventually go to destruction? (End of this chapter)
