Chapter 848 Digging Out Special Stones
“Lucias! Come here now!” Once I reached this conclusion, crazy conclusion actually, I shouted at Lucias to come using my horn.
Why was it crazy? Simply because of the size of it! What race would have such colossal physique enough to have this dome as the place of his fist?
That… Only a colossal being with a body spanning for hundreds of metres or even more would be able to leave behind such a technique.
My best guess? This wasn’t a creation of a technique, but something mimicking it! There would be no living race so damn huge to such an extent! Not even close!
The biggest dudes I met had bodies for seven up to ten metres tall at most. The only colossal dudes I met were those monsters, not sane races!
“Yes lord,” Lucias rook a couple seconds to arrive at my chariot next to me.
“See this…” I pointed at the ground down below, moving my index finger while drawing circles and triangles, “can you see this?”
“This… Lord, are you saying this isn’t all random?”
“Hell no!” I instantly said, “I want you to start digging at the places that don’t yet have stones. Then expand at the same pace in circles. As for triangles, you can just scatter a few around to find scattered stones in spaces between the circles. Also you got a few incomplete big triangles there. Don’t miss them then.”
“Ok lord, I’ll memorise this pattern and then order my boys down there to work upon it. But… Isn’t this a bit weird?”
“It is, indeed it is,” I firmly nodded without shifting my eyes away from this sight.
What the heck was wrong with this place? First it caused such an unreasonable fight between Hilary and Angelica, ending up eating two of my people away.
And now this arrangement is similar to my techniques? Damn! What other mysteries did this place hold?
I waited and watched while Lucia delivered the pattern to all. Then as a typhoon, they all moved towards the places without stones in the broken circles and triangles and started to dig.
Soon enough, new stones started to appear. However these were buried much deeper than the previous ones.
If not for me to give the order directly to look there, they wouldn’t have been found!
“Hmm… They aren’t the only stones placed in different depths…” As I noticed this, I started to move around using my chariot, slowly examining the stones down below.
At first glance, no one would see any difference at all. But as I was looking specifically for the stone depths, I started to notice the subtle differences there.
These stones… They were arranged in circles, and each circle seemed to be on a slightly lower level than the ones in the circle before it.
It looked like the dome was at the top of a mountain, and the circles were the slippery body of it!
This… This couldn’t be done on a mere fluke or coincidently. The more I looked at this design, the more I became sure about it.
This was done on purpose. And if so, then it must serve a purpose.
What were these stones used for? Now I wanted to know the meaning behind each writing on each single stone more than ever!
I would never risk going in there before exposing all the mysteries about these writings and this place. First I got to read these writings, then I had to know what this technique design was used for.
The first was handed over for the sovereigns. As for the second issue, I had two solutions for it.
I could ask the sovereigns as well. But if it failed, or I felt a risk in showing this design to them, then I got the second way around.
I’d use my cultivation base and try to create a new technique mimicking the one down below. But doing this might be a bit risky.
If this technique was related to bloodlines, and mine wasn’t suitable, then a backlash might erupt. So I didn’t consider doing this at the beginning and would wait for the sovereigns to answer me first.
Gradually more stones started to appear in the void places in between the circles and triangles’ general layout. I shifted my attention towards these places.
What was special about them? Out of curiosity, I went down there and checked a few of them.
Well… They got the same bizarre writings indeed. However they looked a bit different from other stones.
The stones were all made out of dark stones, cut into rectangular shapes. However these ones had a rounded end, looking like they were cut to be on this shape as a finger.
They were slightly bigger, broader, and darker in colour. From closely inspecting them, I could tell these stones came from different ores than others. Not that different in type, but different in quality.
They looked higher in grade compared to other stones.
Putting the difference in shape and material aside, there was nothing special again about them.
The places they were put at didn’t form any design at all! They didn’t follow any pattern and didn’t give me any impression about what was special about their places.
I was sure the way they were placed meant something. But as the soulers of mine excavated the last hidden stone of these special ones, I didn’t get any clue about this mystery.
“They are spreading around,” as they finished filling the gaps, they started to dig outside once more. This time, they moved out in many teams, knowing what they had to do.
They were organised, much more than before. And that made them more effective, unearthing stones fast, and knowing where to look.
As they started to speed up, the size of this design kept enlarging fast! And it started to become much complicated, much more complicated than the earlier design I saw.
In just the time needed for Silverlining to come back, which was almost eight hours, the size of the unearthed stones tripled!
