A man wearing a long robe and a spear walked out from behind the stone pillar. He wore a strange mask.
The spear looked exactly the same as the spear held by the temple guards in the ruins. The carvings on the mask were of the same style as the carvings on the city stones.
With Ouyang Shuo's knowledge, the style of the carvings was similar to the legendary Mayan civilization. It was obvious that the person in front of him was the Atlantean that Ouyang Shuo was looking for.
The strangest thing was that the masked man had a purple crystal the size of a thumb hanging around his neck. The crystal was octahedral and looked even more mysterious under the reflection of the seawater.
The only pity was that the crystal itself was a little dim.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. "Who are you? Why aren't you willing to show your face? "
"Fated person, please follow me."
The masked man didn't reply. He turned around and walked into the depths of the ruins.
"Follow me!" Ouyang Shuo ordered decisively.
Atlantis City had become the life-saving straw for the ocean fleet. Ouyang Shuo had no choice.
Following the masked man through the ruins of the city, Ouyang Shuo was even more shocked. What he saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
Magnificent temples, more exquisite statues, and taller stone pillars could be seen everywhere. Ouyang Shuo saw a statue lying in the mud. Its head alone was more than five meters tall. It was quite terrifying.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but recall the concentric architectural style of Atlantis City. Obviously, they were walking deeper into the concentric circles. Even though it had collapsed into ruins, Atlantis City still maintained its strict hierarchy.
After walking for an hour, they arrived in front of a majestic temple. The temple was located in the center of the concentric circles. It showed that this temple was extraordinary and had a supreme status.
The overall architectural style of the temple was very similar to the Parthenon Temple in Athens that Ouyang Shuo had visited not long ago. Even the pillars and statues around the temple were similar.
"Fated person, ask your guards to wait outside. Only you can go in now," the masked man said.
Ouyang Shuo hesitated for a moment and stopped Chen Dameng and the others from persuading him. He said in a low voice, "You guys wait outside. If you have time, search the ruins for underwater breathing devices or other items."
Underwater breathing devices were good stuff. Ouyang Shuo was too embarrassed to take them along the way. Now that there was an opportunity, he naturally didn't want to miss it. Other than the underwater breathing apparatus, the Divine Martial Guards might be able to find other treasures.
"Yes!" Chen Dameng nodded.
Having been with the Marquis for a long time, Chen Dameng had a general understanding of the Marquis's style of doing things. He looked casual, but in fact, he was extremely cautious. The fact that he asked them to stand guard outside meant that there would be no danger.
Ouyang Shuo brought Little Qing and followed the masked man into the temple.
In the hall of the temple, there was a magnificent statue of a god. The god was tall and burly, with a face full of beard. He held a trident in his left hand and a huge conch in his right.
"Poseidon?" Ouyang Shuo exclaimed.
"Wu ~ ~ ~"
When Little Qing saw the statue of Poseidon, it let out an unhappy provocation.
"It's the Sea God!" The masked man casually glanced at Little Qing. As he spoke, he walked to the left side of the hall. There was a stone staircase leading down.
The two sides of the stairs were dark, and the steps were covered with seaweed. If one was not careful, they would slip. Strangely, the deeper they went, the brighter the staircase became. The light seemed to come from underground.
Ouyang Shuo calculated in his mind. After walking for about five and a half meters, an azure light screen suddenly appeared in front of them. It was overflowing with colorful lights and looked mysterious.
The mysterious light screen blocked the seawater outside. Through the light screen, Ouyang Shuo could vaguely see a city.
"This is …?" Ouyang Shuo was surprised.
"This is our place of survival." The masked man's voice contained a trace of sorrow that could not be concealed.
"…"
Ouyang Shuo understood. They were buried in the depths of the sea, never to see the light of day, and spent countless years in loneliness. Such an ignoble existence was not a good thing for any civilization.
Their bodies passed through the light screen without any obstruction. The scene in front of them stunned Ouyang Shuo. They stood on a cliff and looked down. There were waterfalls, flowing springs, birds chirping, and flowers fragrant. It was a beautiful scene.
Big and small blue lakes dotted the landscape. On the lakes, boats floated by. There were people on the boats, casting nets to catch fish. They looked happy.
By the lake, there were beauties washing clothes and children playing. It was a happy and harmonious scene.
Beautiful buildings were hidden among the green flowers. It was like a paradise. This scene was completely different from the lonely and decadent scene that Ouyang Shuo had imagined.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the ruler of Atlantis was.
All the loneliness and pain were completely shouldered by the inheritor alone. For ordinary people, wasn't this paradise a good place to return to?!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo glanced at the masked man beside him.
Ouyang Shuo recognized the purple crystal hanging on the neck of the masked man. The person who held this crystal must be a core figure of the Atlantis race. Moreover, it must be a small part of the core.
As if feeling Ouyang Shuo's gaze, or perhaps because he had reached home, the masked man slowly took off his mask.
Under the mask was a young woman. She had long red hair, big dark blue eyes, long eyelashes, three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, and thick lips that were filled with a different kind of temptation.
Ouyang Shuo was dumbstruck when he saw her.
"Hello, I'm Kalia. Welcome to Atlantis." The beautiful woman's voice was crisp and sweet. The hoarse voice that she had at the beginning was just a disguise.
Facing Kalia's white and tender palm, Ouyang Shuo was slightly startled. He gently clenched and loosened his grip. "Hello, how can a mutant be naked? Sorry to disturb you!"
Kalia was undoubtedly a peerless beauty. Although her figure was covered by a long robe, it was obvious that she was extremely seductive with curves in all the right places. Coupled with the unique temperament of the Atlantis people, she was even more charming.
Ouyang Shuo was not an ordinary person. Beauty was just a layer of skin to him. He would appreciate it, but he would never indulge in it. His mind was already as firm as a rock.
Kalia was surprised when she saw Ouyang Shuo's clear eyes. Her beauty was also unique in her race. It was unknown how many men had been charmed by her.
Since she was young, Kalia grew up in the sound of praises. This was the first time she saw someone indifferent to her beauty. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the lake. The lives of my people are getting more and more difficult. If this goes on, it will be difficult to continue living here in less than ten years. "Kalia looked at the city below the cliff with a lonely expression.
"Don't worry. You won't have to wait for ten years. You will be able to live on land immediately." Ouyang Shuo comforted her.
Hearing this, Kalia's eyes lit up. She put her palms together and said with a pious expression, "That's right. Thanks to the blessing of the Sea God, we have finally met the fated person."
"Cough." Kalia's fiery gaze made Ouyang Shuo a little uncomfortable. "What should we do now?"
"Let's go. I will bring you down!"
"How do we go down?"
Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded. They were standing on a cliff.
Kalia smiled and went through a small door to the right side of the cliff. He saw that the entire place had been hollowed out and built into a spacious hall. In the hall, there was a shark-like skeleton.
But it was not a shark. Ouyang Shuo could clearly see the metallic luster of the skeleton. Obviously, this was a man-made metal skeleton.
Just based on this exquisite skeleton, Ouyang Shuo had a whole new level of respect for Atlantis' technology. With Shanhai City's current industrial level, even if they had the blueprints, they wouldn't be able to manufacture it.
When he got closer, the shark skeleton looked like an aircraft. It had wings on both sides and a cabin in the middle for people to sit in. But he didn't see any power system or any electronic equipment.
Instead, the surface of the skeleton was engraved with complex carvings of the same style as the carvings on buildings.
Presumably, this carving technique was one of the core technologies of the Atlantis civilization. It was widely used in buildings, accessories, machinery, and other fields. It was simply omnipotent.
However, Caria didn't care about it. He sat in the driver's seat skillfully and inserted the purple crystal hanging around his neck into a groove in front. It fit perfectly and turned it to the left. "Kacha", the shark actually "came to life" and made a rumbling sound.
The patterns on the surface of the shark flashed with blue light. The attentive Ouyang Shuo noticed that when Kalia removed the purple crystal, the crystal became dimmer and dimmer.
"It's really magical!"
Ouyang Shuo sighed with emotion. Presumably, the crystal was the energy source that drove the shark.
"Come in!" Kalia called out to the dazed Ouyang Shuo.
"Oh!" Ouyang Shuo got up and sat in the left cabin.
The shark aircraft was not big. It was similar to the fighter planes of World War II. It had a total of two seats. Sitting beside Kalia, Ouyang Shuo faintly smelled a peculiar fragrance. It was the body fragrance of a young girl.
It was probably Kalia's first time being so close to a man. A trace of red light flashed across his face. He controlled the shark aircraft and slowly flew away from the cliff toward the city below.
Looking down from the sky, Atlantis City was exquisite. But compared to the ruins of the underwater city, it was much smaller. It was estimated to be the size of a town.
"In the end, it's still a caged bird!"
Ouyang Shuo somewhat understood the loneliness in Kalia's eyes. It was common sense for people to yearn for a free life. After all, no one really wanted to be trapped in such a small town for the rest of their lives and die alone.
In less than ten minutes, the aircraft stopped at the square of a castle in the center of the city.
"This is our palace." Kalia introduced.
Seeing Kalia walking unimpeded into the depths of the palace, Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed.
This woman's identity was indeed not simple. No matter how much Atlantis City had declined, it was still a huge empire. Moreover, the hierarchy was strict. How could the palace be freely entered and exited?
The only explanation was that Kalia was simply a member of the royal family. Perhaps she was a princess.
"A princess? It's very similar to a knight novel. "Ouyang Shuo mocked himself.
