Caesar always thought that he was not stupid, but this time he fell flat on his face. Fortunately, Karen did not bring this up. When the door opened, the two were stunned by the wonder they saw.
Crystal!
The world of crystals, the entire huge empty square is filled with crystals!
What is a crystal?
That is a mineral deposit that is more expensive than mithril because it is the favorite of magicians. Crystal ore is very rare on the mainland. Even a crystal ore of very poor quality will cause a big battle. In comparison, the mineral deposits on the seabed are relatively rich, but even the sea people are not that rich.
Magic crystal is also a kind of crystal ore, which is considered to be the purest crystal. However, snatching crystal ore from the bodies of magical beasts and sirens is only one source. The amount of crystal ore used for magic research and combat is very large, and the current supply is far from enough.
Generally, crystal ores are impure in texture, and it is very troublesome to select high-purity crystals. All these factors contribute to the high value of crystals.
There was once a saying among human countries that as long as one could possess a high-purity crystal mine, unifying the continent would not be a fantasy.
What was in front of Caesar and Karin was such that it would be an insult to describe it as crystal ore, because all they could see were crystal stones of high purity that were close to magic crystals. The colorful crystal stones illuminated the entire square so brightly that it was simply unimaginable.
Karin and Caesar were not people who had never seen the world, but they were still stunned by the value before their eyes. With just one word, the entire sea clan, and even the entire Maya, would go crazy for this crystal world, and even a second Mayan world war was not impossible.
It can be imagined that when every warrior is inlaid with high-purity crystals, forming an army of magic warriors, they are simply indestructible. This is not as simple as inlaying a small piece on the body. It would be truly terrifying if this kind of crystal was installed in various important parts of the body.
Caesar didn't know why such a thought flashed through his mind. There were countless shining warriors under his command, corpses everywhere, and all he saw was the intersection of the sky, the sea, and the earth.
"Oh my God, this is impossible. How can the library be so big?" Karen shouted in surprise after a while.
Caesar suppressed the excitement and possession in his heart. It was obvious that the secret was not yet the right one to be revealed, nor was it something he could possess at his current level.
"Since we passed through that wall, we are no longer in the library. It is most likely a huge space magic circle, perhaps a masterpiece of humans."
"...This is impossible. No human has ever been able to reach the sea, and that was hundreds of years ago!"
"Kaylyn, there are many things that we cannot imagine, just like everything in front of us. Even if all the crystals in Maya were gathered together, there would not be as many as here."
"Are you saying we've made a fortune?" Girls all like shiny things, let alone such a beautiful crystal.
"No, this is a secret between us. No matter which force knows it, it will cause a catastrophe. Do you think any royal family can take all this treasure, or can the two of us live to possess these things?"
It is a bit vulgar to describe this crystal world as treasure. Those treasures can never be compared with these practical crystals. These are things that will never go out of style and are truly valuable.
"I'll listen to you!"
Haha... Caesar didn't mean to monopolize the crystal mine. If you think about it carefully, Karin should have a larger share. I thought it would take some effort to persuade her, but she turned out to be so easy to talk to.
Women are really strange creatures. Caesar has thought so since the moment he met Alena six years ago.
The two of them went down, and when they stepped on the crystal, their feet were trembling a little. Of course, it was not the crystal that was trembling but their feet. Stepping on such a whole piece of crystal underfoot would move even a person with a firm mind.
"Are we the most luxurious people in the world?"
"Hehe, that should be it."
The entire wide crystal square can accommodate thousands of people. It is like a huge cave, but it is made of crystals instead of rocks. It can be seen that most of the crystals are natural and their shapes are very natural, but the two saw a statue in the center!
A statue of a human?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a sea creature. But how can you see a statue that looks so much like a human in the sea creature's territory? The statue is lifelike, with sharp eyes and a long sword hanging at its waist, but why is there a little helplessness in its eyes?
This was Caesar's intuition that the person in front of him should be an extraordinary figure. No matter what, the two of them had broken in here. Caesar performed a standard human knight's salute in front of the statue. This was his instinctive reaction and a sign of respect for his predecessors.
At this moment, the long sword in the statue's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, with the tip of the sword pointing to the right, and then it remained motionless.
It was only at this time that Caesar noticed that the entire statue was in a magic circle. The color of the crystal was difficult to see, and Caesar's action just now should have triggered the mechanism.
Both of them were brave enough and indeed found several passages in the direction of the sword, and also found some things they shouldn't have seen.
Corpses everywhere!
Seeing this disgusting thing, Karin screamed and jumped directly onto Caesar. Caesar quickly comforted her. It was strange that she was not afraid of life but was afraid of death.
These corpses are very old and turn into ashes with the slightest touch. It seems that the battle was very fierce. Maybe they also came to fight for this crystal mine, but ended up dying here.
People die for money and fish die for food. Reality is so cruel, but in the end they get what they want.
"Where are we going? This place is so cold and gloomy."
Caesar didn't feel much, but Karin's physical condition was not as strong as Caesar's. The whole square was filled with crystal ore, which made people feel very uncomfortable after a long time.
"That should be the direction the sword is pointing."
But there were dozens of caves in the direction of the sword, and they didn't seem to be man-made. God knows which one is the exit. And looking at the bones on the ground, I'm afraid the consequences of taking the wrong path will not be good.
"…Kaylyn, what are you doing?"
"Estimation by eye. I'm looking for a parallel line between the sword and the cave entrance. There must be a cave entrance that's facing them!"
Kailin squinted her eyes and scanned carefully along the tip of the sword, "The third one on the left!"
"Are you sure?"
"Don't you have a better choice? Trust a girl's sixth sense!"
"Ahem, don't mention the sixth sense. My sixth sense is always terrible!"
"That's natural. Men's sixth sense is never accurate."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Caesar always felt that there were the most corpses here. Some armors and weapons were still intact. Caesar picked up a handful. In this kind of ghost place, he also felt that it would feel better to have more things in his hands.
The two of them walked very carefully, fearing that there would be sudden poison gas, poison arrows or the like, or a monster would suddenly appear. Caesar was thick-skinned and was not afraid, but Karen was not so lucky. Caesar in front suddenly stopped, and Karen behind him bumped into him. Just as she was about to scream in pain, her mouth was immediately blocked by Caesar.
Karin's pretty face turned red, and her scream turned into a soft moan. Caesar was in a bad mood. He didn't know if this passage was the exit. Even if it was, they had to get out alive!
A giant dragon covered in flaming red was lying on a pile of flaming red crystals, and behind it was boiling magma. It was unknown whether it was the power of the crystals or the special function of this cave, or whether the maker had set up a special barrier. The heat was only a visual effect and the body could not feel it.
Kailin was so frightened that she dared not breathe. The dragon was sleeping. It was a terrifying dragon on land, and most likely it was the red dragon that the sea creatures feared the most.
