Unlike the piles of treasures everyone imagined, these palaces are not filled with too much miscellaneous items. Instead, it looks more like a palace waiting for its owner to move in. But would anyone really live in a treasury?
"It’s quite strange. Since there aren’t so many treasures stored here, why build it like this?"
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan was sowhat puzzled. However, compared to him, the archaeological team was very excited about this place, because the engravings here recorded a lot of unknown secrets. Although this information could not serve as direct evidence, it greatly helped them understand the Golden Feather Dynasty’s history.
anwhile, among them, they also found docunts possibly related to how the Golden Feather Dynasty obtained Kastantos technology. However, in the mural, the entity that bestowed them with this technology was shrouded in light and shadow. Under the sacred halo, they couldn’t see its true face at all.
"I really wish I could wear a pair of sunglasses to see the existence under that holy light clearly."
The team leader couldn’t help but joke. Everyone knew it was impossible, because it was just a mural. Not to ntion wearing sunglasses, even using other shadow-blocking ultimate moves would have no effect on this mural.
Seeing Feng Yuan glance at her, Veronia grumbled,
"I’m not that familiar with the Divine Beasts of Kastantos. If you ant sothing with a clear appearance, I might be able to recognize it. But now this thing is like a silhouette; how could I possibly know who it is?"
"No suspects? There shouldn’t be many dragon-shaped Divine Beasts, right?"
Due to the elongated dragon shadow in the light and shadow, no one would think this was a human or Divine Being of Kastantos. Even if archaeologists weren’t clear about the difference between Divine Beings and humans, Divine Beings wouldn’t be significantly different from humans. The dragon shadow in front of them certainly didn’t look human in any way.
"That’s really hard to say. Kastantos doesn’t have Divine Beasts in this form, but if they depicted it from a strange observation angle, that’s hard to say."
Rolling her eyes, Veronia said exasperatedly. Such shadows are troubleso for this very reason. If they weren’t depicted from a normal angle, it’s really hard to guess what it is. Plus, Kastantos doesn’t have Divine Beasts in this form, which makes it even more doubtful what bizarre angle they used to get such a shadow.
"What about allies related to Kastantos?"
Feng Yuan knew this possibility was low, but if not, whose strange shadow was it? If it was a Divine Beast after the Mythical Era, how did it obtain Kastantos’ technology?
"None. As long as one is sane, they wouldn’t give these things to allies since allies may not be permanent."
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia said. During the Mythical Era, nations fought against each other. Even if there were alliances, they were rely strategic. As for teaching one’s technology to an ally? That was impossible.
"So, what exactly is that dragon shadow?"
"Don’t know. Little Crocodile, do you have any impression?"
Shaking her head, Veronia looked at Agunas, who rolled his eyes and swept his tail in discontent and said,
"I don’t connect with the outside world as much as you do, so my understanding of the Divine Beasts of the Mythical Era may not be as extensive as yours."
"So, it’s not a Divine Beast that has good relations with you?"
"Are you joking? Our relationship with Kastantos isn’t good. How could we be friendly with a Divine Beast that is friendly with them?"
Agunas replied speechlessly, pulling out his own book, saying,
"It seems the records in this to were indeed correct. In the Sacred Sea, they encountered a miraculous entity that bestowed them with powerful technology. Unfortunately, this technology was alien to their cultural atmosphere. They lanted more than once that if they had received this overdue miracle in the early days of founding the country, perhaps the national strength of the Golden Feather Dynasty could have climbed higher."
"They couldn’t use it directly? But also true, the Golden Feather Dynasty worshipped the eagle, Kastantos seed..."
"Rock Peak Country. It’s obvious they’d worship mountain and rock-type Spirit Beasts, which would certainly be incompatible with their culture. But Kastantos’ technology, even in that era, not to ntion modern tis, could be considered cutting-edge technology, right? They were still too weak~"
Veronia said, shaking her head. Qi Chen couldn’t help but look at Dou Yanlan and asked in a low voice,
"Why does Veronia say that?"
Thinking it over, Dou Yanlan understood his aning and said solemnly,
"If they obtained this technology in the later stages of the Golden Feather Dynasty, they might indeed not dare to use it, because it represents that they might lose their rightful position. During this period, the emperor’s control power over the subordinates was already insufficient. If they lost their rightful position, the dynasty could collapse."
"I don’t quite understand..."
Scratching his head, Qi Chen laughed awkwardly and said. The team leader smiled and nodded, saying,
"If it were in that period, it could indeed have been like this. After all, no matter how strong this thing was, it could only be used for defense, right? But in the later stages of the Golden Feather Dynasty, the Feather Emperor had already lost control over the southern four provinces. If not for the people recognizing the Feather Emperor’s governance, the actual ruler of the southern four provinces, Black Eagle, might have already replaced them.
Moreover, the nurous rebellions that followed, without exception, changed their nas to anything related to ’eagle’ or sothing similar to mislead. Of course, the situation was certainly not so simple; this is just a relatively straightforward explanation."
"I understand now... So that’s why this thing was built here..."
Sowhat understanding, Qi Chen exclaid. The team leader smiled and said,
"Of course, we all know the final demise of the Golden Feather Dynasty wasn’t due to internal strife but external enemies. Yet if it wasn’t for previous frequent internal conflicts, they might not have been weaker than the Red Serpent. In fact, this relic also fills in an important question: why did the Golden Feather Dynasty, which was rife with internal strife, in its final days witness a phenonon of restoration?"
"Probably after they completed this treasury, they began to convert and utilize the technology within. Even if these things were left until modern tis, they could be considered extrely advanced weapons, especially in that era. Moreover, the weapons that were rumored to be magical now had a basis."
Hearing the team leader say this, Feng Yuan furrowed his brow and said,
"But isn’t there a self-destruct chanism or, is it really necessary to be so troubleso with Kastantos technology?"
"I’ve never heard of anyone doing this in the Mythical Era. Reverse engineering other countries’ technology was aningless, and even Starlotte didn’t seem to have this habit."
Veronia said, glancing at Agunas, who swept his tail and said sourly,
"Don’t make it sound as if we specifically study other countries’ technology. Indeed, in the Mythical Era, there was no need for that. As for whether the Golden Feather Dynasty intentionally increased this design feature, I think the possibility is low, because even if they could develop this technology, they couldn’t have implented it from the very start.
Yet, historically, any technology seemingly involving Kastantos would self-destruct, which is unreasonable unless the entity that gave them the technology exerted so sort of influence."
"So you’re saying the relic inside the Hurma Sacred Sea is more dangerous than we expected?"
"Probably, achieving such a result isn’t sothing ordinary Divine Beasts can do. A top-level Divine Beast, and one that neither Veronia nor I recognize, this is..."
Headache-inducing, Agunas said while flipping through docunts again. The archaeological team began initial photography to docunt the treasury and inventory the internal relics.
However, these palaces were not cluttered with items. Besides those mural decorations, the only significant gain was the Golden Feather Dynasty’s classics. With the help of these texts, they might be able to understand the hidden secrets behind the establishnt of the treasury by the Golden Feather Dynasty.
Based on these palaces, the archaeological team and Feng Yuan jointly concluded that when constructing the Rock Peak Treasury, the Golden Feather Dynasty was at a point where they could only follow the given instructions step by step with Kastantos technology. They couldn’t make any modifications.
If not, they shouldn’t have built such a large palace complex. According to Veronia’s explanation, although the Rock Peak Treasury wasn’t the highest-level treasury, it was only weaker by one level. To Kastantos, this scale of the Cloud Summit wasn’t large, could even be considered small.
Yet to the Golden Feather Dynasty, it far exceeded their needs, hindered by the inability to modify, they could only copy it as-is.
