The Yuaneng construct in front of me now is eighty-fold similar in appearance to the assisting machine in memory, especially the deformable three-dimensional triangle.
No way?
Could it be that the forbidden knowledge from outside the world that the Red King obtained came from his hometown?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible.
It is difficult to perceive the change of time in the starry sky, and the distance between worlds cannot be judged with the naked eye.
Perhaps, his hometown is not far away from Teyvat, so that he can come here instead of his life force completely disappearing in the starry sky.
When the world collapsed, perhaps a fragment recording relevant knowledge jumped nearby, and was accidentally acquired by the Red King, becoming taboo knowledge incompatible with Teyvat.
"This... is the Yuan Neng construct?"
Aite nodded, "Yes. There are many such constructs in the ancient ruins of the Red King period. They seem to be the guardians of the ruins."
"He's activated, be careful!"
Aite assumed a fighting stance.
"Here I go, don't break it, I want to study it."
Jiang Bai stretched out his hand, and the thunder elements condensed in the air, wrapping this elemental energy construct.
Amid the surging current, the Yuaneng construct kept trembling, and soon stopped struggling, returning to its dormant three-dimensional triangle shape.
Jiang Bai is not a researcher or a mechanical expert, but he has learned how to assist in the repair of machinery.
According to his own method, he dismantled the structure into its parts under the confused gazes of the two people beside him, and then put the parts together again, and an assistance machine that was exactly the same as in his memory appeared in front of him.
However, it was a pity that this assisting machine could not start as he thought, and the energy used by the two was also completely different.
Now Jiang Bai can be sure that the forbidden knowledge is indeed related to their world.
It's just that the laws of the two worlds are incompatible, and the Red King couldn't make one exactly the same, so he turned it into the Teyvat version.
This kind of adventure of seeing the products of his hometown in other worlds made him feel very complicated.
"What's wrong?" Hu Tao was keenly aware of Jiang Bai's abnormal mood.
"Something like my hometown..."
Of course Hu Tao understood where his hometown was.
That is a place from which there is no return.
Hutao touched his head, "Are you homesick?"
Jiang Bai shook his head, "I just feel a little complicated."
There were many reasons for the destruction of his hometown, and infighting was just one of them.
Others, such as increasing class conflicts, energy crises, and insufficient resources, are all triggers of war.
Human beings fought with each other for hundreds of years, and then destroyed the planet, and everyone died together.
The organization he works for can be regarded as a mediating organization. However, after so many years of fighting, how can there be mediation?
As for him, he can only be described as a sober and pessimistic fugitive.
Tired of all this, he entered the star sea before the world was destroyed, but avoided perishing with the world.
It’s just that the days of wandering in the starry sky are hard to endure...
Hu Tao patted him on the shoulder, "The Hall of Purity will always be your home."
Aite didn't speak, thinking a little too far.
Is it similar to something from my hometown?
If his hometown was not Liyue, where could it be?
Jiang Bai put away the Yuan Neng construct, stood up and touched Hu Tao's head.
"Wherever the hall master is, my home is."
A red cloud rose on Hu Tao's face and she held his hand.
"Let's keep going in."
The ruins don't look big from the outside, but the further you go inside, the more you feel that the ruins are quite large.
It is obviously an underground ruin, but various exquisite decorations and carvings are everywhere. The triangular aisles have an indescribable sense of grandeur and sanctity.
"Speaking of how this ruin was built? Could it be that people carved it piece by piece?"
If so, how much manpower will be used?
Ait shook his head, he didn't know.
"There are many such ruins in Xumi, especially the largest Red King's Tomb. I don't think humans can build such a magnificent and great building..."
Everyone who sees the Red King's Tomb will be shocked by its magnificence without exception.
It is like a huge chalice, standing in the desert like the will of God.
Just looking at it makes people feel in awe and can't help but admire it.
How could such a building be built by humans?
Aite is more inclined to think that the Red King used his great power to conjure it up with a wave of his hand.
"It should be built by those Yuaneng constructs."
Jiang Bai could tell that those Yuan Neng constructs were not guards themselves, but that they were dormant in the ruins without receiving new instructions because their creators died. They were later discovered by adventurers from outside. , given the name "Guardian".
Although what they are doing now is indeed guarding the ruins.
I just don’t know what this relic is used for.
There is always a purpose in building such large buildings, either to make people believe in awe, to give guidance, to control people's hearts, to record information, or to offer sacrifices. It can never be built for fun.
Jiang Bai walked around in the maze-like ruins and finally came to the lowest hall.
This hall is a standard sacrificial venue, with huge sacrificial statues of jackals on both sides holding golden cups in their hands, and the top guard is carved with a golden triangle representing the will of the gods.
Aite knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.
Jiang Bai's eyes fell on an obelisk in front of him. There were many characters carved on it, but he didn't recognize any of these desert characters.
After Aite finished paying homage, Jiang Bai called him over.
"Aite, look at these words, do you recognize them?"
Aite shook his head.
The history of the desert is very fractured, and so is the writing.
The small tribe where he was born has no written heritage at all, and all they use is a common language.
Seeing that everyone knew each other, Jiang Bai copied these words one by one with pen and paper in order. If he meets a writing expert in the future, he can ask the expert to help him take a look.
Speaking of which, I did the same thing last time in Heguan, but I haven't met a writing expert so far.
"This temple feels so empty..."
Jiang Bai felt a little uncomfortable looking at the temple where nothing could be taken away.
Last time he was in Heguan, he dug up a lot of antiques. Now in this desert underground ruins, there is nothing that can be left at all. Those exquisite carvings are integrated with the walls, and most of them are made of rock. I can't even take it with me.
"It is a temple after all."
Hu Tao was not in the same mood as him. It was a temple. What else was there in it?
"Let's go deeper into the cave..."
After leaving this empty ruins and continuing to walk inside, I encountered several more ruins.
This seems to be a group of ruins, but the ruins at the back are not as big as the ones encountered before.
