Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 853 One hundred and forty-four. In Bell, they fall in love

   After waiting for a long time, the merchant took out a reply from the backpack that connected the inner world.

   Only one of the two statues can communicate - the other's consciousness has long since disappeared and only instinct remains.

  The answers and questions of the previous generation were translated by [Linguists] and written on parchment with the logo of the Wiener Antifreeze City Hall.

  The exchange of life between two generations separated by thousands of years.

  Puseus thought romantically and asked, "What did the previous generation answer?"

   "It has felt the entry of outsiders in the underground ruins. It can't think of the relevance of the prophecy of the Eternal Dreamer, but it knows an abyss."

   That abyss was called the bottom of Socra by the previous generation, at the end of the Great Rift Valley of Theaeteid in the Duchy of Ketiles.

   It’s just that there is neither the Duchy of Ketiles nor the Great Rift Valley of Theaeteid in the Continent.

  Puseus let out a small whimper, which was different from what he imagined...

   "Anything else in the back?"

  Katerina looked at the paper full of words and felt that the words were not as unfamiliar as before.

   "It asked me if any previous generations survived, and if the disaster passed."

The   stone statue was brought straight into the inner world from the underground ruins, without stepping on the surface, otherwise it would see the dark halo that existed in the previous generation and still hopelessly hanging in the void.

  The answer is none at all.

   Let the merchant convey the answer, and at the same time prepare a map to send to the inner world, and let the previous generation mark the location of Socrates on the map.

   But the problem is not that simple, the returned map is empty.

   The previous generation did not recognize the former outline from the map.

   Maybe the previous generation lost their memory, but more like crustal movement or weird forces changing the continental shelf.

  Lu Li asked [Linguist] and the previous generation to unify the unit of length, and then drew a map of them.

  After a longer wait, the scribbled map was handed to him. In addition to the contours there are terrain and waves representing the ocean. But the units used by the previous generation made Katarina almost think she had confused the units of length—

  Lu Li stared at this map drawn by the previous generation, and the territory is larger than the total land known to mankind. Filling the Lord's Land and the Badlands is like a puzzle with a dozen parts.

   It seems to be true.

  Because Lu Li saw the World Ridgeback Mountains.

   It is in the northernmost part of the Badlands, and further up is the sea of ​​mists that humans have not yet explored.

   But in the map of the previous generation, it was the center of the continent, and the irregular prototype land guarded the snow-capped mountains.

  The Lord's Continent and the Barren Land are one continent. The strait that separates them used to be a plain, the Lennon Islands to the east are a swamp island, and the Ellen Peninsula is connected to the Lord's Continent, not as a peninsula but as part of the land.

   The map does not have the outline of a farmland garden. Because the land is large enough or for other reasons, the previous generation did not develop navigation, and they knew less about the deep sea than today's humans.

   Then what happened, the land subsided or the sea level rose and most of the land was submerged

   With the seat boundary of the World Ridgeback Mountains, all the northern land has disappeared, leaving only the barren land at the southern foot of the World Ridgeback Mountains and the main land of the southwest, and the swamp islands become the Lennon Islands.

   So humans know very little about previous generations.

  The previous generation and its history have long been submerged in the vast and deep sea with the earth.

   Looking at the map drawn by the previous generation, Katarina suddenly felt grateful for the current situation.

  Although the world has become a bizarre hunting ground and dangerous disasters are everywhere...but there is always a ray of respite for mankind.

  Lu Li asked [Linguist] to bring the news that the land was submerged in the previous generation, and he did not send the parchment for a long time after that. The merchant said the statue fell silent.

   After waiting for a long time, the merchant took out the translated parchment.

The    stone statue finally marked the location for Lu Li. With the relics, it roughly delineated the location of Socrates: the northwest of the kingdom of Ellen.

   Lu Li knew where it was.

  The excavation site in the Tashufik area, in the story told by Keig Foley, at the party of the king of Ellen and several exorcists that night.

   In the exorcism tale he told, it was occupied by a gray fog leading to another world.

   So Lu Li wrote two more letter papers, one was given to Mayor Mateus to entrust him to investigate the situation of the excavation in the Tashoufiq area, and the other was given to the stone statue to let him write information about Socrates.

  The replies from the previous generation came first. They didn’t know much about Socrates except that the abyss seemed to lead to another world——

   The same thing happened at the excavation site in the Tashufik area.

Lu Li asked some more about the outsiders, but unfortunately the stone statue is sleeping most of the time, it can only confirm that one of the outsiders has powerful power, and she can resurrect the dead previous generation - the stone statue says it is after the disaster. The civilians who fled in would rather starve to death than step out of the outside world because of their cowardice.

  This is not an altar, but a place where previous generations recorded history.

  Unfortunately, even rocks are hard to resist the erosion of time.

At the end of the conversation, Lu Li told him that if he wanted, the merchants could send it to the Wiener Antifreeze Port. Because of Lu Li, those congressmen would not throw it away at the museum to collect tickets for the exhibition. At most, scholars who wanted to know the history of the previous generation would find it. Come.

The    stone statue thanked but declined the suggestion. It has no other desire than to be sent back to the ruins, and they want to stay in their homeland until they die.

   Along with the parchment, there are also stone balls, which are the eyeballs of the stone statues. It says it will not be harmed if it encounters other guardians.

   After all, all guardians should only have instinct left, including it, but for no reason, it regained consciousness after a long time.

  Lu Li vaguely realized something, then restrained himself and stopped thinking down——

   promises to put them back in the ruins tomorrow, and that ends the less impressive conversation spanning two generations.

  The sound of the waves enveloped Andrea, and everyone in the captain's room gradually fell asleep.

  …

   "Woo!"

  Katerina woke up to the screams of Pusius, Lu Li had already woken up, Pusius was kicking his limbs up in fear.

   "Have a nightmare again?" Katerina asked, looking out the whitened window.

   "Well..." The face of Purseus was covered in fine sweat, and he said in shock, "I... I'm too worried about whether I can find Miss Anna."

   "Let's go to Socrates next?" Katarina looked at Lu Li.

   "Go to Shymfast first."

   Lu Li replied.

After eating the cans brought by the merchants, they waited until the strange fog dissipated, and they left Andrea briefly, paddling to the ruins, and left two stone statues that had fallen into a deep sleep. news of the ruins.

   This is not bad news for them, at least the surface is guaranteed.

   Back to Andrea, they sailed along the coastline of the Allen Peninsula to the port of Shymfast, dozens of nautical miles away.
