Chapter 526 Ruins in the Fog
“Pass it…let it pass…Where is the path here?
"This is the path for Mr. Libra.
“It’s easy when you come in, but scary when you go back.
"It's terrible, but we still have to pass, we have to pass..."
※From the 76th episode of Super Generation.
Hoenn area, Route 119.
It wasn't until late that night that Zhou You reluctantly dug out key information from the rain-wet rubbings.
"Jojo, what was that song just now?"
Shang Zhi was particularly curious, how could the other party dig out a ditty from his rubbing?
Faced with this problem, Zhou You couldn't help showing a complicated look.
"It is the song recorded in the wet part of the rubbing." Zhou You explained, "It is also a key part of the entire rubbing."
Shang Zhi was a little puzzled, why didn't he see the ancient musical notes on it?
"Mr. Shangzhi, have you ever heard of elves like Libras?"
Hearing this, Shangzhi looked ashamed. Although he was a bard, the elves he knew were only common elves in Sinnoh and most insect and grass elves.
"I've heard of Libra."
Eden on the side said briskly: "The Libra puppet is a brown clay puppet with red stripes. It can only be seen in ancient ruins and tombs. It is said that a certain human civilization 20,000 years ago lived with it and left behind Many murals.”
Zhou You nodded, that was indeed the case. There were even rumors that the Libra puppet was also one of the ancient man-made elves, but there was no evidence.
The current common view in the academic world is that the Libra puppets and telepathic clay puppets are elves born from clay puppets made by ancient people and exposed to special light... In fact, they are similar to artificial elves.
"What does that scale puppet have to do with the rubbings of ancient tombs?" Shang Zhi asked.
"Time is limited, and I can't translate much. What follows is just my personal guess."
Shang Zhi nodded to express his understanding. Deciphering ancient documents is inherently difficult, and it is very rare to achieve this level in a short period of time.
In fact, Zhou You had translated all the clear parts of the rubbings, and what surprised him most was that a small part of the content was closely related to him.
But most of the content is still about the sea, land and air.
"According to the literature, there is a ruins of the Libra civilization in the Misty Mountains not far from our current location."
Hearing the word ruins, Shang Zhi, who was originally depressed due to the rain, suddenly became excited.
The stone carvings left deliberately near the ruins of the legendary giant must have their own special characteristics.
The most important thing is that according to what Zoroas said just now, the Libra civilization came from 20,000 years ago, and it is a genuine super-ancient relic!
The bard was filled with excitement and immediately made the decision to explore the Misty Mountains before arriving in Zijin City!
"I think so too, and according to the rubbing records, the ruins of the Libra civilization contain the most important treasures in the universe."
"Treasure?" Eden pricked up his ears.
"What treasure is it?" Shang Zhi asked curiously.
But Zhou You sighed regretfully: "It's not written on it, how could I possibly know what the treasure is (stick reading)."
Eden:…
No need to ask, you already understand it now.
Anyway, the right to interpret the rubbings is in your hands.
Zhou You: Actually, I’m not sure, so I’ll just give it a try.
He had indeed seen the episode about the Misty Mountains a long time ago, and he was somewhat impressed by the terrifying plot and the slightly scary tune.
But, what happened in that episode is unlikely to happen in reality, right?
As we all know, the TV version is just a promotional video for the game. The screenwriter may not even understand Pokémon. He just writes in his head every day. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as fishing nets to catch water dogs.
Most of the outrageous plots are better treated as jokes, like a whole season of Journey .
In any case, since a small part of the rubbing is related to me, I had no choice but to take this opportunity to go to the Misty Mountain.
Although he was determined to immediately fly back to the southeast of Yinyu City to investigate the full text of the stone carvings, it was no joke to dare to fly in such weather and be easily struck by lightning.
Unless I take out Zekrom... I'm not that anxious yet.
The next morning there was thunder, and the rain had not subsided, but at least it was no longer the heavy rain of last night.
While complaining about whether there would be a flood if things continued like this, Zhou You and Shang Zhi went to the Misty Mountain not far away.
Coincidentally, the distance between Misty Mountain and Changshou Town was very close. Around the evening of the next day, the two of them arrived at their destination.
The climate here is similar to that of the Sendhen Mountain, and the fog lingers all year round, making it impossible to distinguish between humans and animals five meters away.
Even if the Elven Wind is used to clear the dense fog, it will only affect the thick fog within a few meters, and it will recover immediately.
Many people suspect that there are mysterious things hidden in the Misty Mountains, but every time they explore, they are hindered by the mist.
The steep cliffs with rugged rocks make it difficult to explore the entire mountain range even with the help of flying elves.
Over time, the accident rate here has remained high and it has become a bad place among the local population.
After arriving in Misty Mountain, Eden tried to use his supernatural powers to sense the surrounding environment, but encountered obstacles for the first time in a long time.
"No, the fog here is a bit strange, interfering with my moves." Eden complained, otherwise as long as the powerful mental power is swept away, he can roughly know what special terrain is nearby.
Zhou You doesn't take it seriously. This is a relic that has been buried for 20,000 years and has not yet been unearthed. It is full of gold. Don't underestimate the Super Fengyuan people.
If it were really that easy to solve, the place that was always covered in fog would have seen the light of day long ago.
Shang Zhi was thoughtful after hearing this. Just as the other party said, it must be extremely difficult to find ruins that have not been discovered for tens of thousands of years.
In other words, if you want to discover the location of the ruins, you must use your brain to think.
According to Shang Zhi's understanding of adventurers, even if the accident rate in Misty Mountain remains high, those who love adventure will definitely trample every inch of land here.
In this case, it is unlikely that the Libra relics exist on the surface, and it is more likely to be buried deep underground.
But other people should have also considered this possibility and sent burrowing elves to explore underground. Coupled with the constant earthquakes in Hoenn, it is still unknown whether the so-called ruins still exist.
But the ancient Fengyuan people who wrote it on stone carvings thousands of years ago should have a basis.
Considering that the means that humans could take at that time were really limited...
At this moment, a flash of light appeared in Shang Zhi's mind: "Qiao Qiao, I have an idea..."
"Mr. Shangzhi, I already know the location of the ruins." Zhou You directly interrupted the other party's inspiration.
While the other party was meditating, he had already asked Brother Diqi to find out where the ruins were on the material plane by reversing the scene in the world.
Although Shangzhi couldn't see the other party's figure, Zhou You only had to follow the automatic navigation.
Shang Zhi: "Huh?"
