Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1777: Lizard Slave

This is a humble city.

There is a low stone wall at the entrance, and there is a breeding pen on the stone wall. Animal excrement can be seen everywhere in it, and the stench is overwhelming. There is no separation between the breeding pen and the city, and there is a row of low stone houses around the circle. Obviously, there is no so-called planning in this city. Stone houses are scattered everywhere, leaving only a few relatively large streets for traffic.

Naturally, the streets are not paved with stone bricks, but bare grass. The grass on the ground has been trampled long ago, so there are several dark green streets scattered in this gray and white city. Most of the stone houses are covered with green vines, and a kind of low trees can occasionally be seen on the streets, which become one of the few greenery in the city.

There are water storage tanks behind some houses, but there are no wells in the city. It seems that the residents living in this city have not yet had the technology to dig groundwater. Or, there is no underground water source under the city, so we can only go to the distant river to draw water for storage.

The water in the storage tank is still not dry, which shows that the residents have not moved out of this place for long. No farming tools were found in the city. It seemed that the residents here did not grow crops. In fact, this was the case. Allen did not see any farmland along the way.

Moreover, the tools or utensils that can be seen in the house are very simple, which shows that the level of civilization in this city is not high.

A city with a low level of civilization, but considering the ancient creatures on the plain at the entrance, this is obviously an isolated world, so it is not surprising that such a city will appear.

In fact, the civilization of the indigenous tribes in the Garden of Eden is also very limited, not necessarily much higher than this city, or even lower. After all, the residents here have formed a city-state form, much stronger than tribes.

"Your Highness, look at this." Rui Jin came out of a bungalow, holding a piece of wood in his hand. He handed it to Alan, and Alan took it in his palm, only to realize that it was a sculpture. Although the saber skills are crude, it can be seen that it is a lizard man.

This lizard man seemed to have armor, and it held a warhammer high in one hand, while the other pointed to its feet, with a certain religious meaning.

Allen looked at the wood carving and said, "It seems that the residents here believe in those lizardmen, and they don't know what kind of natives they are."

He returned the wood carvings to Ruijin, Ruijin put them away, and these things will be brought back to the fortress for research.

They walked through the city, passing an irregular square. There are traces of a bonfire burning in the square, and the ground is black and scorched. It seems that a party was held here not long ago. In the middle of the square, I saw a stone pillar with a skeleton hanging from it. The skeleton was dark in color, as if it had been charred. The skeleton is incomplete, with many parts missing, but it can barely be seen that it has hands and feet, and it is a humanoid creature.

At last they came to the stone tower.

Looking under the stone pagoda, I realized that the pagoda is very big. Almost like a low mountain peak, the stone tower is cylindrical and has dozens of floors. There are doors and windows of different sizes on each floor, and they are open, so there are black holes.

Allen walked into the gate of the stone tower. The entrance was a narrow passage with hard rocks on both sides. There are even flowers and plants emerging from the cracks in some stone walls. It seems that this stone tower was carved out of natural rocks. This is not a simple project.

The passage was not straight, and Alan walked out of the passage after turning three times in the middle. In the center of the stone tower is a hall, in which there are wooden stakes. The stakes were black and seemed to have been hewn from the trees of the Night Forest. Gray stones are pressed on the stakes. Rui Jin picked up a piece, the stake was hollow, with some gray powder and black charred bones.

He said in a deep voice, "This is probably a tomb."

After reading it, Allen agreed with Rui Jin's inference. Those stakes contained ashes and uncleanly burned remains. There are a large number of wooden piles piled up here. If they are all the same, then this tower is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tomb.

he looked up,

Above are staggered stone beams. In the shadow of one of the stone beams, something suddenly flashed.

"Smiller." Allen pointed in that direction.

The imperial general squatted down slightly, and rushed up like a rocket. He is wearing heavy armor, carrying a huge sword, and holding a cone gun. The weight of the whole person is extremely high, and when he broke through the air, there was a dull roar in the stone pagoda.

After a while, Smiller landed, and his feet made a circle of air waves on the ground. Then someone was thrown to the ground by him, it was a short and thin man, he was wrapped in a black robe, and the skin on his bare arms was dry, like tree bark. The complexion is dark and freckled.

He was shaking in his robes, and he was making syllables that Allen couldn't understand.

Allen squatted down and lifted the hood of his robe, revealing a head nearly twice the size of a human. The head is bald, with a few sparse hairs. Then the creature raised its head. His head was so big, but his facial features were pitifully small. The eyes, nose and mouth were all squeezed in the middle, which looked ridiculous.

But no one in the stone tower could laugh.

"Who are you?" Allen asked, not expecting an answer.

Sure enough, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't understand Allen's language at all. Allen even changed several languages, but there was no response. Finally, he had an idea and used the language of Eboins. Unexpectedly, the guy with a big head showed a listening expression, and then replied: "Lizard slave."

Allen was slightly shocked. If this creature understands the language of Eboins, then this place must be one of the King's Treasures. He glanced at Lucy quickly, and the latter understood immediately, and said in a voiceless voice: "Is there a clue to the treasure house here?"

"To be precise, the treasure house is here."

Allen asked again: "Who taught you this language?"

"Kana." The lizard slave sat up trembling, and pointed to the bottom of the tower: "Kana, god. Lizard king, envoy of God."

He patted himself again: "Lizard slave."

Allen frowned. Although this lizard slave could speak the language of Eboins, it was obvious that the language they mastered had very few words. It can barely be heard that a person named Kana is regarded as a god by the lizard slaves. Since Kana taught the language, then this Kana is the Son of Twilight of a certain era. Next, the Lizard King is the messenger of God, and they are the slaves of the Lizard King, so they call themselves lizard slaves.

So the so-called lizard king and those lizards are the army in the treasure house? Looking at the bottom of the tower, Allen stood up and said, "Take me to see."

The lizard slave looked weak, and although he nodded in agreement, he couldn't stand up. Ruijin called a team member to carry him on his back, Allen asked Smiller to stay at the bottom of the tower, Ruijin also left most of the team members, only Lucy, Bai and Ruijin went up with Allen.

Under the guidance of the lizard slave, they got into another passage in the hall. Soon, I saw a stone step stretching upwards and went up to the second floor. Many places here are suspended, and only stone beams are crossed like bridges. They have to pass through these stone beams from time to time to get to the upper floor. Some stone beams do not need to be passed at all, which seems to be some kind of misleading means.

But this place is basically useless to the strong, I am afraid that these settings are just to prevent other lizard slaves from reaching the top of the tower.

While heading to the top of the tower, Allen asked some questions, but the lizard slave answered truthfully, giving Allen a general overview of the area.

The lizard slaves called the land they lived in "Red Tak", which means "the place where the ancestors lived". They have lived in this land for a long time. The lizard slaves have high fertility, but the survival rate of fetuses is very low, which forms a kind of balance virtually. Let the lizard slaves reproduce without overpopulation and the ecological balance.

Their ancestors have lived in Hongtak for generations. These natives have weak personalities and have been raising long-billed lizards for the lizard tribe for many years. According to the description of the lizard slaves, the so-called long-billed lizards are lizard snakes.

There is a holy place in the depths of Red Tucker, where Karna sleeps and where the Lizard Race lives. According to the lizard slaves, the lizardfolk established a huge kingdom there. As for how big it was, this lizard slave couldn't tell.

Just recently, they received an order from the Lizard King to relocate them. Because the lizard slave was too old and the guard of the tomb tower, he stayed behind, but unexpectedly bumped into Allen.

When climbing to the top of the tower, the lizard slave suddenly pulled the corner of Allen's robe, pointed at him and said, "God Lord."

"You mean me?" Allen pointed to himself.

The lizard slave nodded and said, "Kana said that she, the master, will come."

"You, God Lord. You, can speak the language of God."

Allen nodded, he roughly understood what the lizard slave meant. Kana should have said that one day, someone who can speak the same language will come. Of course, that person refers to the Son of Dawn. The lizard slave regards Kana as a god, and the language of Eboins is naturally regarded as the language of God. But what does this God Lord mean? Master of God? Ellen is not Karna's master, unless she is a guardian, but obviously, she is a member of the Twilight Children.

The top of the tower has arrived.

There are no wooden piles on the top floor, and there are some paintings on the surrounding walls, and I don't know what kind of paint was used. They have been preserved after all these years. Except for a few places where the walls fell off and formed blanks, other places are still well preserved.

The Lizard Slave got off the Diamondbacks, walked to the east wall, pointed at it and said, "Kana."

Then he knelt down and bowed down.

Allen looked up, and there was a woman painted on it. She is no different from a human being, and she does not even lack the characteristics of a human female. Behind the woman in the painting is a sun, and something like a road protrudes from the sun, reaching the woman's feet, which looks like Kanna walking down from the sun.

This has obviously deified her.

Below Kanna, there is a huge lizard. Because there are some pictures representing houses next to it as a reference, it is easy to see that if this lizard is restored in proportion, it will almost catch up with a battleship.

Allen pointed to it and asked, "Is this the Lizard King?" Browse and read the address:
