Chapter 1057 Super ancient ruins

"Wala waala, I don't know much about the story of 'The Dead Sea Adventure,' can you tell me about it?"

Upon discovering the ruins on the island, Lindsay led the way forward, asking questions as she went.

Since there are things that match up.

The information in the story might also come in handy at this moment.

The girl, who lives amidst art, is already intimately familiar with famous plays.

She immediately began to speak, her tone slightly melodious, like a stage announcer recounting background information:

"The Dead Sea Adventure is a legend that took place at the end of the heroic age."

"In the war to defeat the gods who ruled the universe, there was a hero named Augustine who died from exhaustion in battle."

After the victory, people prepared a grand funeral for him.

However, after the coffin had been kept in the coffin for seven days, the burial ceremony did not proceed smoothly.

Because this dead hero, just as he was about to be buried, sat up again from his coffin.

According to his own account—

On the verge of death, the divine power and the essence of will unexpectedly intertwined and merged.

He thus entered the legendary Sea of Lost Souls, embarking on a perilous and complex journey…

The sound of "wa la wa la" changes with the plot.

Sometimes passionate, sometimes gentle.

When Augustine entered the Sea of Lost Souls, he initially drifted aimlessly with the ocean currents. It wasn't until he experienced the monstrous beasts of the deep sea, the final sunset, and the return of all things to their original state that he found his way out.

Finally, on an iceberg at sea, he encountered a star.

After hearing Augustine's story, the other party gave him a final test.

Having passed the trial and transcended death, he was sent back to the world.

Enjoy the cheers that a god-slaying hero deserves, and reunite with his weeping wife...

Lindsay listened attentively as she walked.

After half an hour, he had carefully memorized the entire story of "The Dead Sea Adventure" and didn't find it monotonous at all.

But the further we go, the more difficult it becomes.

He increasingly felt that the story was full of dramatic coincidences and illogical elements:

"Wala waala, how much of this story do you think is artistic embellishment?"

The girl shrugged:

"The story was originally created a long time ago."

"Actually, the versions I've heard since I entered the theater have undergone three minor revisions. To be honest, it's hard to guess what it originally looked like now."

"..."

Lindsay raised an eyebrow.

A script that has been passed down for over a thousand years.

In order to adapt to different times, the number of revisions is unimaginable, enough to make the script and the original story very different.

If one unconditionally believes the script, the outcome is predictable.

Lindsay gave a wry smile:
"Can't find a single piece of reliable information?"

Wala Wala replied:
"Just like you analyzed before—this story at least shows that someone came to the Sea of Lost Paths in the past and then successfully returned, which is why they were able to bring the story here back to reality."

Lindsay looked up at the sky.

By contrasting Augustine's situation with theirs, he raises one point:
"In the story, the other person's experience is quite different from ours."

"When Augustine was adventuring in the Sea of Lost Souls, his physical body existed in the real world."

"If he hadn't gone back in time, his body might have been buried by people."

Wala Wala also agreed with Lindsay's idea:

“That’s right, Lindsay, your body couldn’t possibly have remained in another world—after all, there are no unusual clues in the digitized information.”

As the two discussed, they arrived at the center of the island on the back of the Abyss Beast.

Their massive bodies were backed by mountains, rivers, and plains. They were situated in a hilly area directly below the mountains.

On a clearing carved out of a forest of sharp rocks, the ruins of buildings came into view.

Dead gray plants grow rampant here.

At first glance, this place doesn't look like a place for people to live, but rather like a temple or a square for gatherings.

And because so much time has passed, all the buildings here have completely collapsed.

The broken and collapsed stone pillars look similar to Doric columns, and their original upright posture can still be vaguely seen.

Wala Wala tries to use game skills:
“Ancient ruins, but the extent of their damage doesn’t quite match the years they’ve been through—they should have been much more dilapidated.”

Lindsay nodded:

"Time has turned this place into ruins."

"But the unique environment of the Lost Sea, as well as the dead sea monsters, have allowed this place to remain in a relatively intact state."

The two moved on.

In the center of the ruins, they found a stone tablet that had once been carefully protected.

However, due to the erosion of time, the stone tablet has become dilapidated, with its once polished surface now pitted and cracked.

Wala Wala stepped forward, tracing the engravings on the surface of the stone tablet with his finger:

“Patterns, decorations… no, these are characters!”

"Lindsay, come and take a look too!"

Lindsay moved closer.

The straight lines and gentle curves create a primitive and rugged script that Lindsay had never seen before.

"Wala wala, do you recognize this script?"

The girl immediately shook her head:

"do not know."

"..."

"Ancient script..."

Lindsay raised her eyebrows slightly.

He is proficient in many languages.

Even before the establishment of the City of Law, he could use the ancient language from the Abyss Wars period with ease.

But the writing before him was significantly different from any other writing system he knew.

"Let me see... um... I'll learn it on the spot."

Lindsay opened the properties panel.

The upgrade to [Eternal Return] almost completely drained his experience reserves.

The good news is that you don't need to upgrade your language skills too much.

He gestured with his hands, first inputting an ancient language called "Kaila Language," and then adding some experience points.

[Kaila Language] (Beginner) → [Kaila Language] (Master)

From beginner to mastery, it was enough for Lindsay to recognize the content of these words.

Suddenly enlightened, he slowly recited:
"After subduing this ferocious beast, everyone in the team was exhausted, and the supplies they had brought with them when they set out were also exhausted."

"Our expedition may have come to an end..."

"..."

"expedition."

What came into view was a story even more unexpected than imagined.

—The Great Expedition.

Awakened beings from various worlds set aside their prejudices, formed new teams, and embarked on an ancient expedition to explore the unknown world.

As someone who understands history.

Lindsay naturally has her own understanding of this habit.

But the stone tablet in front of me changed my understanding.

The expedition actually occurred much earlier than he had previously anticipated.

New problems then arose:

"The goal of the expedition has never changed throughout history—to open up new spaces and provide people with more abundant resources for survival."
