Chapter 657 Mysterious Crystal Stone
Walking behind the stone pillars of the ruins was a man wearing a long robe, holding a spear, and wearing a strange mask.
Looking closely at the spear, it is exactly the same shape as the spear held by the temple guards in the ruins sculpture, and the carvings on the mask are also in the same style as the carvings on the city stones.
Based on Ouyang Shuo's knowledge, the style of carvings is somewhat similar to the legendary Mayan civilization. Obviously the person in front of him was the Atlantean that Ouyang Shuo was looking for.
The most peculiar thing is that there is a thumb-sized purple crystal hanging around the masked man's neck. The crystal has an octahedron cylindrical shape, which is more mysterious when reflected in the sea water.
The only regret is that the crystal itself is a bit lackluster.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo focused his eyes, "Who is Your Excellency? Why don't you want to show your true colors?"
"For those who are destined, please follow me."
The masked man was noncommittal, turned around and walked towards the depths of the ruins.
"Follow!" Ouyang Shuo ordered decisively.
The city of Atlantis is now the lifeline of the ocean-going fleet, and Ouyang Shuo has no choice.
Following the masked man all the way through the ruins of the city, the shock to Ouyang Shuo was even more intense. What he saw just now was just the tip of the iceberg of the ruins of the city.
More magnificent temples, more exquisite sculptures and taller stone pillars can be seen everywhere. Ouyang Shuo saw a stone sculpture lying in the mud, the head alone was more than five meters high, it was quite frightening.
Involuntarily, Ouyang Shuo thought of the architectural style of the concentric circles of Atlantis City. Obviously, they are walking towards the inner concentric circles. Even if it collapsed into ruins, the city of Atlantis still maintains a strict hierarchy.
After walking for an hour, they came to a magnificent temple. The temple is located at the center of the entire concentric circle, which shows that the temple is unusual and its status is supreme.
The overall architectural style of the temple is very similar to the Parthenon in Athens that Ouyang Shuo visited not long ago. Even the pillars and sculptures around the temple have similarities.
"For those who are destined, let your guards wait outside, and then you can only go in by yourself." The masked man said.
Ouyang Shuo hesitated for a while, stopped the persuasion of Chen Dameng and others, and said in a low voice: "You guys wait outside, if you have time, collect some underwater rebreathers or other items from the ruins."
The underwater rebreather is a good thing, but Ouyang Shuo didn't have the nerve to take it when he was on his way. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to miss it. In addition to the underwater rebreather, Shenwuwei might find other treasures.
"No!" Chen Dameng nodded in response.
Having been with Junhou for a long time, Chen Dameng has a general understanding of Junhou's behavior style. It looks casual, but in fact it is extremely cautious. Letting them stay outside proves that there is no danger in the future.
Ouyang Shuo took Xiaoqing and entered the temple together with the masked man.
In the hall of the temple stands a majestic statue of a god, tall and burly, with a beard all over his face, holding a trident in his left hand and a huge conch in his right.
"Sea God Poseidon?" Ouyang Shuo exclaimed.
"Woo~~~"
When Xiaoqing saw the statue of Poseidon, she made a provocation of dissatisfaction.
"It's the Sea God!" The masked man glanced at Xiaoqing inadvertently, and walked towards the left side of the hall, where there was a stone staircase leading to the bottom.
The sides of the stairs are extremely dark, and the steps are covered with seaweed, and if you don't pay attention, your feet will slip. Strangely, the further they went down, the brighter the stairs became, and the light source seemed to come from underground.
Ouyang Shuo calculated silently in his mind, and walked down about five and a half meters, when a blue light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him, radiant and mysterious.
The mysterious light curtain blocked the sea water, and through the light curtain, Ouyang Shuo faintly saw a city.
"This is it?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.
"Inside is our survival place." There was an unconcealable sadness in the masked man's voice.
"..."
Ouyang Shuo understood that he was buried deep in the sea, never seeing the light of day, and spent countless lonely years. Living like this is not a blessing for any civilization.
The body passed through the light curtain without hindrance, and Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded by the sight in front of him. They stood on a cliff, looking down, flying waterfalls and flowing springs, singing birds and fragrant flowers, it was too beautiful to behold.
There are blue lakes, large or small, dotted among them. In the lake, light boats floated by, and some people rode on the boats, casting nets to fish, with joyful expressions.
By the lake, there are beauties washing their clothes and children playing and enjoying themselves.
The beautiful buildings, hidden among the green flowers, are like a paradise. This situation was completely different from the lonely and decadent scene Ouyang Shuo had imagined.
This shows how powerful the ruler of Atlantis is.
All the loneliness and pain are borne by the inheritors alone. For ordinary people, life in such a paradise is not a good destination? !
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo glanced at the masked man beside him.
Ouyang Shuo could recognize the purple crystal hanging around the masked man's neck. The person who holds this crystal must be the core figure of the Atlantis family, and he is also the most core member.
It seemed that he felt Ouyang Shuo's gaze, or maybe when he got home, the masked man slowly took off his mask.
Under the mask was a young woman. Long fiery red hair, big dark blue eyes, long eyelashes, three-dimensional and delicate facial features, and thick lips full of temptation.
Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"Hi, my name is Kalia, welcome to the city of Atlantis." The beauty's voice was crisp and sweet, and the vicissitudes and hoarseness at the beginning were just a disguise.
Facing Kalia's outstretched white and tender palm, Ouyang Shuo was stunned for a moment, gently squeezed it, and released it at random, "Hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you!"
Kalia is undoubtedly a stunning beauty. Although her figure is covered by a robe, she knows that she must be extremely seductive and full of bumps. Coupled with the unique temperament of the Atlanteans, it is even more charming.
Ouyang Shuo is absolutely very human, beauty is just a skin to him, he will appreciate it, but he will never indulge in it, his mind has already been as solid as a rock.
Kalia on the opposite side saw Ouyang Shuo's clear eyes, and felt surprised in her heart. Her beauty is also unique in the clan, and she has fascinated many men.
Since she was a child, Kalia grew up surrounded by praises. This was the first time she saw someone who was indifferent to her beauty and could not feel curiosity in their eyes.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the lake, and the people's life is becoming more and more difficult. If this continues, within ten years, this place will be unsustainable." Kalia looked at the city under the cliff with a lonely expression.
"Don't worry, you don't have to wait ten years, you can live on land immediately." Ouyang Shuo comforted.
Hearing this, Kalia's eyes lit up, he clasped his hands together, and said reverently, "That's right, God of the Sea blesses us, finally let us wait for someone we are destined to meet."
"Cough." Kalia's hot eyes made Ouyang Shuo feel a little uncomfortable, "What should we do now?"
"Let's go, I'll take you down!"
"How to get down?"
Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded. The place where they were standing was a cliff.
Kalia smiled slightly, passed a small door, and came to the right side of the cliff. I saw that the whole place was hollowed out and an empty hall was built. A shark-like skeleton is parked in the lobby.
But it was definitely not a shark, Ouyang Shuo could clearly see the metallic luster emanating from the skeleton. Obviously, this is an artificial metal skeleton.
With this exquisite skeleton alone, Ouyang Shuo was impressed by the technology of Atlantis. With the current industrial level of Shanhai City, even if there are blueprints, it cannot be manufactured.
Taking a closer look, the shark skeleton looks like an aircraft, with wings on both sides and a cabin for people in the middle, but there is no power system or any electronic equipment.
On the contrary, the surface of the skeleton is engraved with complex carvings, which belong to the same style as the carvings on the building.
I think this engraving technology is one of the core technologies of the Atlantean civilization, and it is widely used in various fields such as architecture, accessories, and equipment, and it is simply omnipotent.
Kalia didn't care, and sat in the cab skillfully, inserted the purple crystal hanging around her neck into a groove in front, it just fit, turned to the left, "click", the shark actually "clicked" Live" came over, making a rumbling sound.
The lines on the shark's surface flashed blue rays of light. The careful Ouyang Shuo noticed that when Kalia took off the purple crystal, the crystal became dimmer.
"It's amazing!"
Ouyang Shuo felt emotional in his heart, thinking that the crystal was the source of energy to drive the shark.
"Come in!" Kalia greeted the dazed Ouyang Shuo.
"Oh!" Ouyang Shuo got up and sat in the cabin on the left side.
The shark aircraft is not big, similar to the fighter planes of World War II, with only two seats in total. Sitting next to Kalia, Ouyang Shuo faintly smelled a strange fragrance, which was the body fragrance of a girl.
It was probably the first time for Kalia to be so close to the man, a blush flashed across his face, he manipulated the shark aircraft, slowly flew away from the cliff, and flew towards the city below.
Looking down at the city of Atlantis from a high altitude, although it is exquisite, it is much smaller than the ruins of the underwater city, probably the size of a town.
"After all, it's still a bird in a cage!"
Ouyang Shuo somewhat understood the loneliness in Kalia's eyes, it is common sense for people to yearn for a free life. After all, no one really wants to be trapped in such a small town for the rest of their lives, alone.
In less than ten minutes, the aircraft stopped at a castle square in the center of the city.
"This is our palace." Kalia introduced.
Seeing Kalia walking towards the depths of the palace unimpeded, Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed.
The identity of this woman is really not simple. No matter how the city of Atlantis falls, it is still a huge empire with strict hierarchy. How can it be possible to enter and leave the important palace at will.
The only explanation is that Kalia is a member of the royal family at all, perhaps a princess.
"Princess? It's very similar to knight novels." Ouyang Shuo laughed to himself.
