Judging from the shelves placed in the house, the reporter should have found a shop that sells statues of extraordinary creatures. The largest one is only half a meter high and is a giant black dragon placed in the center of the shop. The location is very conspicuous.
Each statue is lifelike, with flawless textures and details, as exquisite as a specimen, and there is a clockwork-like device inserted behind it.
The footprints that aroused the communication's alarm were at the entrance of the shop. A series of footprints were very obvious in the thick layer of dust. It was thinner than the dust accumulated in the house, but it was still covered with a layer of dust.
This shows that the owner of the footprints has been here for some time.
The houses that Ma Wei found before had not been opened. It should be said that the city of Londinium had long been buried underground. Without the Tears of the Siren, who could have arrived here before Ma Wei and the others arrived?
What is the purpose of the other party coming here?
"The footprints were small and narrow, not like those of an adult man, either a child or a woman."
Ma Wei compared it with the soles of his feet and gave a preliminary guess.
It had been a while since the other party came to Londinium. In just a few months or even more than a year, the footprints left behind would not accumulate so much dust, which made Ma Wei feel a sense of crisis again.
Someone else is one step ahead of them!
They are not the first force to discover the underground ruins of Londinium!
And the person who came to the ruins a few months ago... could only come from two forces.
1. Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny
2. Ancient Divine Scrolls
For a while, Ma Wei was unable to determine who had discovered the ruins. The Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny and the Ancient God Scroll were both suspected. London was going to excavate the metropolitan subway in the near future. The Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny could use the gap in the subway to secretly mine London New Zealand. Mu ruins.
And the Ancient Divine Scroll belongs to...
Ma Wei has long been used to them.
Holding a kerosene lamp, Ma Wei walked into the store and walked around the shelves. On the shelves, the clockwork statues were covered with dust, lifeless, and looked a bit gloomy.
It was impossible for the other party to come to this store selling statues for no reason. Ma Wei wanted to know what the other party had taken away or left behind.
The accumulated dust can show him the way forward.
Ma Wei, who had seen the catalog of alien beasts, recognized the owners of the statues one by one. They were all extraordinary creatures that had been recorded in the catalog of alien beasts, such as the abyss beast Haigma with the head of a walrus and the whale ancestor. Sesida and even Kraken...
"Huh?"
In front of the third row of shelves, Ma Wei stopped and found that behind the statue of Sesida, the ancestor of the whale, the place where the statue of Kraken, the North Sea Kraken, should have been placed... was actually empty!
The statue of Kraken is missing!
There was something there originally, just like the footprints, there was a shallow circle of marks, also covered with a layer of dust.
The other party took away the statue of Kraken?
Ma Wei didn't dare to make a conclusion without searching the store. What if the statue the owner placed here was not that of the Kraken, but that of another extraordinary creature?
"Felix, Jonas, look for Kraken's statue! Quick!"
"Oh oh oh..."
Lai Wen and Daniel, who were also walking around the store, immediately took action. Even Yunia joined the search force. Together, the speed of the several people suddenly increased. In less than ten minutes, the shelves in the store were turned upside down. .
No Kraken.
Daniel also read the letter from the Illustration of Alien Beasts. Daniel knew what the Kraken looked like. The letter also had a close encounter with the Kraken. A giant squid, even among extraordinary creatures, is very strange. Of course it is impossible. I admit my mistake, the store does not have it.
To be precise, the store has all the statues of extraordinary creatures recorded in the Catalog of Alien Beasts, except for the Kraken!
While thinking, Ma Wei's eyes gradually brightened: "I understand...I understand!"
Lai Wen and Daniel looked at each other: "Brother, what do you understand?"
"A few months... no, a year and a half ago, the existence that came here was the Ancient God Scroll!" Ma Wei said emotionally: "It took away the statue of the North Sea Kraken! Because Kraken is not If the race created by the ancient gods wants to resurrect Kraken, they can only use another method!"
Seeing that Lai Wen and Daniel still looked confused, Ma Wei explained: "After Yunia became a god and became a real god, she released the shackles that bound the gods, right?"
"yes."
"Also since that day, in addition to Anatole, the three goddesses of destiny and other gods of faith, many extraordinary races have resurrected. On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but have you ever thought about it? Some of these resurrected extraordinary races have already been Perished!"
"Dad, are you talking about brother Edward?" Yunia asked.
"Yes! It's the Vampire Clan!" Ma Wei said: "The Vampire Clan was exterminated. Edward also admitted personally that it wandered in the Kingdom of Death for two thousand years and lost its memory after waking up. There are many other extraordinary races like the Vampire Clan. There can't be only one, but the vampire is reborn! Who awakened Edward and brought him back from the kingdom of death?"
"Who else can there be? It must be the Ancient God!" Daniel said without thinking: "Apart from the Ancient God, why would other forces resurrect the vampires?"
"That's the problem!" Ma Wei said quickly: "The ancient god forces buried history. The reason why they buried history is to tamper with what really happened. In other words, they must first let the world forget that the vampires have The fact of destruction, and then the vampire race can be resurrected!"
Laiwen and Daniel looked at each other and raised a question: "Two thousand years ago, the Vampire Clan perished. Humans may not remember this, but how could the Apocalypse God System that emerged at that time forget the existence of the Vampire Clan? Anatole is Meet Edward!"
"The gods are sealed! Together with the Devil's Gate! They are locked up and cannot have an impact on the real world. It is precisely by seizing this gap that the ancient god forces resurrected these extraordinary races that had long been extinct!"
"But the statue of the vampire is here!"
Yunia held up a human-shaped statue with wings on its back and said, "Dad, look!"
"I saw it." Ma Wei slowly shook his head: "The ancient gods do not need the statues of the vampires to resurrect the vampires, because the vampires were created by the ancient gods. The ancient gods know the vampires thoroughly, just like cooking. I can Cook up a delicious pot of beef, and you can do it tomorrow!”
"But Kraken is different. Kraken is not an extraordinary creature created by the ancient gods. Whale Ancestor Sesida said that Kraken was raised by the Sea People. It has deep feelings for the Sea People and shoulders the mission of protecting the tribe. "
Ma Wei's face was solemn: "Kraken may have been just an ordinary mermaid before, but it grew into the behemoth it is today because of the sea people, or it may also be an extraordinary creature created by Asis, but the power of the ancient gods and Ahis is irreconcilable, and without the help of Asis, the ancient god forces can only use the statues left from the golden age to resurrect Kraken."
These words were concise and thorough, and Laiwen, Daniel, and Yunia all understood them. They still had one doubt.
"Why do the ancient god forces want to resurrect Kraken?"
"I don't know either."
Ma Wei picked up the statue on the shelf, looked at the clockwork behind the statue, and hesitated whether to turn it.
These statues are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface. To be valued by the ancient gods, the shop that comes here specifically has its own merits.
Once these statues are wound up...
What will happened?
To be on the safe side, Ma Wei didn’t want to wind up these statues, but if he didn’t wind them up, how would he know the wonders of these statues?
】
After thinking about it, Ma Wei decided to give it a try. Anyway, Yunia was around, and he didn't believe that toys placed in a mere store could bring them any danger...
If these statues were really dangerous, why would store owners in the Golden Age put them on their shelves for public sale?
The persimmons had to be picked soft, so of course Ma Wei couldn't wind up the black dragon statue in the center of the store. He picked and picked, and finally chose a Hagma.
The abyssal beast Haigma is the lowest threat to humans among extraordinary creatures. They live in the sea and are elves in the sea. They will try to avoid contact with humans as much as possible. They are not very strong. Can beat it.
"I don't know if this clockwork can still turn after all these years..."
After walking out of the shop and into the open space on the street, Mawei asked Yunia to prepare for battle, then grabbed the clockwork and turned it clockwise.
Galala...Galala...
Surprisingly, the spring is very smooth, without any sluggishness when turning, and it has not been damaged even after tens of thousands of years.
Just when Ma Wei lamented that the quality of technology in the Golden Age was really good, the statue in his hand began to vibrate, and the clockwork spun and clicked. Haigma, who was originally only the size of a palm, suddenly began to expand and became more and more... It was so heavy that Ma Wei quickly threw it to the ground and took a few steps back.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the statue swelled to the height of a person, its skin became soft and shiny, and its chest rose and fell slightly, as if breathing. After a while...
Haigma, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Ma Wei and the others.
