Although this is a bust statue, it is more than half a body taller than me. It looks extremely majestic. The carving method uses drastic techniques. Although it is not precise enough, it embodies the spirit and expression of the carved figure. The perseverance and weathering of the skin are all on display.
"Water element! Get up!" I raised my hands, palms up, to summon the water elements to gather in the gap between the bottom of the statue and the ground, and then controlled the water elements to lift up!
The statue in front of us, weighing several hundred kilograms, was lifted off the ground inch by inch under the power of the water element!
"People from the early Yuan Dynasty...you are not going to transport such a big thing back to the hotel in broad daylight, are you?"
"What if?"
"Although there are no people on the road outside the castle, once you enter the city, you may be too busy looking for people, and you might attract the attention of those Rourda people!"
Hariya is right. There are countless aliens mixed among humans now. It’s better to be cautious when doing things. Maybe there will be an alien among the people you pass by!
"Then what suggestions do you have?" I asked Haliya looking at the statue floating in the air in front of me. "
"I do have a good idea, but this idea might..."
"What could it be?"
"It might cause some trouble to passers-by like us..."
"Hahahaha!" I instantly understood the meaning of Halia!
So, he began to concentrate on controlling the water element and slowly moved the statue forward!
He walked out of the door quietly. To get rid of such a conspicuous big guy, it really required some extraordinary means.
"Hariya, let's begin!"
An invisible stream of water vapor rushed straight into the sky in the dark night. A huge rain cloud suddenly appeared in the originally calm sky, and gradually poured down on the ground.
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
After a while, raindrops as big as peas beat on the ground, windows, roof, and the world in front of the castle were all covered in a curtain of rain, making the already weak visibility in the dark night even more urgent. The downpour also really reduced these things. The wolves and dogs guarding the home were so frightened that they began to growl restlessly and lowly.
This puts the museum's night watchers in a difficult position. In this situation, even if you hold an umbrella and go out on patrol, you will definitely be soaked in the rain. In addition, in this weather, I am afraid that no thief will want to go out to commit crimes.
except me.
Although even the surveillance probes don't have a clear view now, in order to prevent them from having such things as infrared probes, I had to use part of the energy to deploy a hidden protective shield.
Just when I was glad that I was not aware of anything, a piercing siren came from the museum hall, which was particularly piercing in this pouring rain night.
Oops, they will definitely come and block the door as soon as they find out that something is gone!
I could already hear the rustling sound of the sharp claws of the wolfhounds grinding on the ground in the distance, and the security guards were also searching towards the gate.
Today we visited with great fanfare during the day. If they find out that we transformed into snitches at night and took away one of their most important collections, I'm afraid our group will be wanted by the whole city.
As I was passing by the rockery, a plan suddenly came to my mind.
The security guards carried out a blanket search in the heavy rain, and the wolfhounds were groaning under the pouring raindrops. The beams of bright flashlights shined particularly brightly in the rain. Just when everyone was about to search for my location, a figure quickly emerged from the rockery and ran quickly in the opposite direction amid the heavy rain, holding a huge black stone in his hand.
"Here, there! Stop him!" A security guard shouted to everyone after spotting the figure.
For a time, all the shouts of people and the barking of dogs were mixed with the sound of rain. It was no longer possible to hear what anyone was saying, and it was impossible to care whether anyone could really carry a huge stone sculpture and run wildly in the rain.
After the people in front of them turned around and chased the snitch, the remaining security guards in the distance also received the news and quickly surrounded him, fearing that
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time.
I looked at the empty path ahead to the gate, and continued to control the water element to hold the statue forward.
A group of security guards and wolfhounds finally surrounded the snitch in a dead end. However, the rain curtain that seemed like the sky was leaking made everyone look down on the appearance of the person in front of them, so they could only cautiously move forward to surround him. Just as everyone was about to pounce on him When he went to capture the snitch, the figure in the rain curtain disappeared like a ghost, and the "stolen" in his hand also fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rockery, neatly covered by something unknown. I cut a piece off....
Everyone was silent in the rain, only the low moans of the wolves and dogs were left.
After cautiously exiting the museum gate, I quickened my pace and headed in the direction of my destination. Under the heavy rain, many houses on the roadside had their door frames tightly closed. There was no one on the road and all the vehicles were parked on the roadside.
I didn’t expect Hariya to have such a wonderful effect!
In the violent storm, the statue was safely escorted to the hotel. I didn't plan to enter from the lobby, so I simply carried the statue in through the window outside the hotel.
However, the window is far from as big as the statue, so this method seems to be unworkable. "We still have to go through the door!"
I fixed the statue outside the window, and then got in directly from the window of the room where Xian Mu lived!
Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the curtain and jumped in, I saw Xianmu coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. We looked at each other for about three seconds. She opened her mouth and was about to scream, but I immediately stepped forward to cover it. Shut her mouth!
"Don't scream! I've already brought the things! Come and help!"
After saying that, I pulled off the sheets on her bed, "What are you doing?" Xianmu asked in confusion.
"Come down with me!" I urged Xianmu.
Unexpectedly, she made a very speechless expression, "You can't let me go on like this, can you?"
"Oh oh oh!" I immediately turned around and waited for her to change clothes. A minute later, she combed her still wet hair and stood in front of me. Her hair was dark and thick, and she usually braided it into a twist. The braid is tied up on the back of the head, looking very neat. Now that the hair is let down, it looks a bit charming.
"I'll wait for you outside the lobby. Remember to push a luggage trolley out!"
After saying that, I jumped out of the window with the sheets and spread the sheets on top of the statue. Soon, Xianmu came out pushing a luggage cart. Thunder was rumbling outside and heavy rain was pouring.
*** controlled the raindrops and lifted the statue onto the luggage cart. Of course, the luggage cart couldn't bear the statue weighing hundreds of kilograms, and it had to be dragged by the water element. The luggage cart was just an eyesore.
Everyone in the lobby was busy because of the sudden rainstorm, and no one noticed us, so we pushed the luggage trolley past everyone, and then went up the fire escape to my room.
When I opened the door, Caron and Mevati were already in my room. I took off the sheets, and a bust of Lincoln appeared in front of everyone!
A few pairs of eyes filled with anticipation visibly dimmed after seeing the statue.
"Zhang Xiyuan...didn't you say you were looking for clues about Lincoln? Why did you...just move the statue back?"
"Uncle Caron, don't tell me. I didn't even notice there was such a statue when I went to visit today!"
"Don't talk for now. It will not be easy for Zhang Xiyuan to get this statue back, and he must have his reasons!" Xianmu said.
"When I was in the castle today, I discovered that this statue has an energy very similar to the wind stone. This statue is definitely not simple!"
But now, the question arises, how to open this statue? This is a problem we must solve now.
"Ouch!" Mewati screamed and covered her mouth, "This statue is too hard, it almost broke my teeth!"
...This silly boy went straight to his mouth and bit it.
"This is an infused statue, not a carrot..."
"The statues on our island are all made of clay.
Made with straw and some rice milk! ” Mewati didn’t think so.
"Bang!"
Turning around, Kalon unloaded a piece of steel pipe from nowhere, raised it high and hit the statue, making a harsh sound. If it weren't for the thunder and lightning outside, countless people would have complained.
The uncle and nephew are really carved from the same mold, and the way they do things is simple and crude.
"Let me give it a try!" After Xianmu finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the ground and started singing that ancient tune again. I don't know if it was because other members of her tribe didn't help her, but her singing this time was much better than before. It took much longer before, and just when Karon and Mevati couldn't wait any longer, the statue started to react!
On the top of the statue, there is a small green sprout growing out of the hair!
"Is this the ability of the earth element?!" Karon and Mevati seemed to change their faces and immediately became excited!
The small seedling in the middle grew taller and thicker. Along with the seedling, its rhizome grew. It had penetrated deeply into the statue and continued to grow. However, this gentle growth exploded. Incredible power!
When the statue could no longer hold the roots, the entire upper half of the statue shattered into pieces!
Then, those green branches gradually withered and turned into soil and blended into the dust, leaving only fragments of the statue on the ground.
We picked up the pieces together, and as expected, the base of the statue was made of a special metal, very similar to the isolation barriers on the periphery of the undersea base. This is why my exploration was hindered at that time!
Now, the upper layers of those metals have been poked with several cracks by the roots of the fairy tree summoning the earth element to grow. I opened it with a little force with my hands, revealing the secret that the statue maker wanted to hide under the base - A black stone with the same cracks as the wind stone.
"Sacred Stone of the Guardian of Fire!"
