"The hardness of those stones is quite high." Chu Tianjiao said, "The sailor's steel knife fell to the ground, making a sound similar to metal collision. The sound startled everyone. Sasha picked up the knife and actually saw a small but clear crack on the blade. When I looked at the white stones, I didn't find any gaps or even any traces."
"It's hard enough to break a steel knife without leaving any trace?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly. "It's also a pure white solid. Is there such a substance in nature?"
"Maybe it doesn't exist in nature, but it's not uncommon to have such things in Nibelung." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "Those crew members seem to have some way to roughly estimate that the hardness of those stones is almost comparable to that of diamonds. Some of them are very interested in the stones on the island. This unknown stone should be able to sell for a high price, but I know there is no time to waste, so I urged them to leave quickly. Our first task is to climb onto the altar on the island, but this is not our ultimate goal. I know that I must climb onto the island in the center. I must see the white figure wrapped in bandages face to face. That is my obsession for risking my life to enter this Nibelung."
The white humanoid figure was most likely a Dragon King. Everyone guessed so, and Chu Tianjiao probably thought so too... But knowing that he was a Dragon King-level existence, he still deliberately wanted to face him. Anyone who would do this was either absolutely confident in his own strength, or possessed extraordinary courage, or was simply an idiot.
"It's hard to imagine that there is nothing on the island except stones. It seems that it is not an island at all, but a stone formation artificially built with white stones." Chu Tianjiao said, "The stairs leading to the altar are on the back of the island where we came. We walked around the altar almost in a circle before we found the way. Unfortunately, there was no trace of Vincent on the island. I walked at the front of the team and Sasha walked at the end. We climbed up the towering altar in an orderly manner."
"When I climbed up the altar, I counted the number of stone steps. There were exactly three hundred, not one more or one less. Each step had a unique pattern. Some were painted with lava and flames, some were painted with swords and spears, and some were painted with unknown characters and sophisticated weapons..." Chu Tianjiao said, "The style of these paintings is realistic and abstract, and the carving skills are so exquisite that they are breathtaking. But many of the things on it don't seem to exist in this world."
"Some sailors said that this was a Mayan relic, which they had seen in ancient books. Some sailors said that this was a sign of aliens visiting the Earth, and that the civilization of Earthlings had not yet reached this level. Some sailors said that the Mayan civilization was actually a branch of an alien civilization, and that they had dreamed of big-headed aliens winking at them..." Chu Tianjiao said, "I listened to a group of men arguing behind me like a group of roosters. I knew that what they said was wrong, because these things were neither relics of ancient humans nor things left by aliens. This was... the civilization of the dragon race."
Yes, everyone in the room knew that the things in the Nibelung were of course left by dragons, but for the vast majority of humans in this world, they knew that there were jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, rats, fish and insects in this world. They could believe that there were all kinds of strange creatures in this world, but they could never imagine that there was such a thing as a "dragon" in this world... Even if someone told them in person that there really were dragons in the world, they would only think that the other person was making a prank on them, or that the person was crazy.
People will not believe what they know unless they see it with their own eyes.
"The most stunning pattern is carved on the top of the altar. Or rather, it can no longer be called a pattern, but a mural, a...huge painting." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "It was a city, a huge city, carved on a towering stone tablet. The stone tablet was made of the same white stone from the island as the altar. Its shape was similar to the obelisk in ancient Egypt. It was probably ten meters high and stood in the center of the altar."
"The city is surrounded by a complete mural on all four sides of the monument. I don't know what special paint the person who painted this huge painting used. Under the light, the painting actually reflects a bronze luster. It is made up of countless precise gears and blocks. It is more like a huge and sophisticated machine than a city." Chu Tianjiao is still shocked when he recalls it. "I have never seen such a city. I know that what I saw was just a painting of it that was scaled down by who knows how many times. But I can feel the enormity and grandeur of that city. Human power is absolutely incapable of creating such a shocking miracle. Although it is so illusory and unrealistic, I always have the illusion that it really exists in a corner of this world."
When Chu Tianjiao talked about the city engraved on the stele, Lu Mingfei's eyes jumped. The more detailed Chu Tianjiao's description became, the more solemn Lu Mingfei's expression became... Until Chu Tianjiao had roughly described the city engraved on the stele, Lu Mingfei lowered his head calmly and took a deep breath.
Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei silently, as if he had thought of something.
"Isn't that altar-like building used for sacrifices?" Nono whispered to himself, "It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with sacrifices. The marks on the stairs look like pilgrimages, and the painting looks more like some kind of memorial service. Maybe it's a city that once existed in history but has now disappeared."
"No, that monument is actually a certain coordinate." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and refuted Nuo Nuo's guess.
"Coordinates?" Nuonuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"On the upper left side of the obelisk, there are four numbers faintly engraved on the four steeply sloping points. Normal people cannot see them, but I noticed them." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "I didn't understand the meaning of those numbers at the time. I wanted to keep them in my mind, but then I thought, I might not be able to get out of this Nibelung, and I might not be able to take out alive no matter how much information I have. So I read the four numbers to Sasha, and after my generosity this time, Sasha actually understood the meaning of those numbers."
"Those four numbers put together form a coordinate pointing to a specific location." Chu Tianjiao said, "They are 10928, 11115, 3038 and 3103."
Everyone's brows furrowed unconsciously, and their minds were frantically thinking about the meaning of these numbers.
After Caesar silently repeated these numbers for a few times, as if he suddenly realized something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Tianjiao.
"Longitude and latitude? Do these four numbers represent longitude and latitude? 109°28′-111°15′ east longitude, °′ north latitude
30°38′-31°03′." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, "Do you know where this coordinate points to?"
Before Caesar asked, Chu Zihang had already taken out his phone to search. He opened the software that specifically calculated longitude and latitude. When Caesar just finished speaking, Chu Zihang happened to press the "Search" button. A few tenths of a second later, when the search results popped up, Chu Zihang's pupils flickered, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, but Chu Zihang did not answer Caesar immediately, but subconsciously looked at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and when he saw Chu Zihang's eyes, he was almost certain of his guess.
"That coordinate is probably in the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze River Basin," said Chu Zihang.
The looks of everyone in the room changed, except Chu Tianjiao and Hui Liyi, because apart from the two of them, everyone else in Kassel Academy couldn't help but think of the mission in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
"Do you know the secret of this coordinate?" Chu Tianjiao also noticed the reactions of others, and he asked in a low voice.
"We have seen the city you saw carved on the obelisk." Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Tianjiao and explained, "If nothing unexpected happens, the painting symbolizes the Bronze City."
"Bronze City?" Chu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows.
"In fact, when you described the details of the painting just now, I thought of it. It is a city made of bronze and metal. It is as precise as a huge machine. It has lasted for thousands of years and is still immortal. It is now hidden under the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges. My brother and I have been there." Lu Mingfei looked into Chu Tianjiao's eyes and said word by word, "It is the city of the King of Bronze and Fire, and also a Nibelung."
“The King of Bronze and Fire…” Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then said with wide eyes, “The city of the Dragon King? Have you been to Nibelungen in Norton?”
"Well... this matter cannot be explained in a few words." Since it was related to Old Tang, Lu Mingfei didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he said something vague, "Uncle Chu, you saw the city on the obelisk, and then what?"
"This may be very meaningful information to me, but to those sailors, they only saw some unclear symbols and paintings. Although they thought the painting was a huge treasure map, the coordinates I saw were only told to Sasha." Chu Tianjiao said, "Those pure white stones may be rare materials, but I strictly forbade them to carry them secretly, so those guys were not very interested in this island. Fortunately, when I was on the altar, I saw the shadows of other islands in the fog. We decided to go to the coastline in that direction. Anyway, the island is only this big, and it won't take long to walk along the coastline, and we won't get lost."
"This time my eyes didn't deceive me. When we got close to the edge of the pure white island, we really saw another island, no more than a few kilometers away from this island. And we found something even more incredible." Chu Tianjiao said, "A cable bridge extends from a point on the edge of this island, passing through the fog, and seems to connect to another island. It's hard to imagine that there are paths for people to walk between these islands."
Lu Mingfei and the others also had puzzled expressions in their eyes, because from Chu Tianjiao's description, the place where they were was most likely a Nibelung, and Nibelung was a world of dragons, with dragons traveling between islands... Would they need something like a bridge?
However, it is also possible that these bridges are prepared for other things, such as servants like Deadpool. The human-shaped Deadpool does not have the ability to fly... But this explanation is a bit far-fetched. Building bridges between islands always feels like it is to allow people who land on these islands to have a way to move to the next location, like some kind of conspicuous guide, ultimately leading to eternal life or death.
"That suspension bridge is not very spacious, probably only enough for two adult men to walk side by side. The wooden planks underfoot have been dried for who knows how many years, and they make a creaking sound when people step on them. The two sides of the bridge are suspended in the air by two long steel cables, about two or three meters above the water surface. Although it is not high, it is shaky when walking on it, which makes people feel uneasy." Chu Tianjiao said, "We use a team of people who stagger their bodies on the left and right, holding on to the left and right steel cables to advance on the bridge. This can ensure relative balance and avoid hurting the people in front and behind when someone falls into the water."
"I was still walking in the front, and Sasha was the last. The sailors were restless when crossing the bridge, chattering non-stop. I was a little annoyed, so I walked very fast." Chu Tianjiao paused, "But what one of the sailors said made me stunned on the spot."
"What did he say?" Caesar asked.
"He said it was a pity that he couldn't take some of those white stones with him. These islands don't look like they have any treasures." Chu Tianjiao said, "Even if those stones are not rare gems, their hardness can be used to make drilling probes and the like, and they can be sold for a lot of money."
"What's wrong with this?" Caesar frowned slightly and didn't react for a moment.
"Hardness, those stones have a hardness comparable to that of diamonds." Nuo Nuo reminded in a low voice.
Caesar was stunned for a moment and then showed a surprised expression. He figured it out, so he felt incredible... Since those white stones have such exaggerated hardness, what kind of material can cut it to create a towering altar and a huge obelisk?
What is even more incredible are those symbols and paintings. This is no longer something that can be achieved by hardness. According to Chu Tianjiao's description, those words are so vivid and lifelike. How superb and ingenious skills must be required to carve such delicate and huge paintings on such a hard stone surface?
"Under normal circumstances, this would definitely not be a point that would be ignored. It's just that we were all in that environment at the moment, and the tension prevented us from fully expanding our thinking. After realizing this, we didn't say anything, but just turned around to look." Chu Tianjiao said, "We obviously didn't walk far, but the island we came from behind us is no longer visible. The cable bridge is hidden in the fog, and it seems to lead to an unknown place."
