This cylindrical object looked a little unclear, and the meaning behind it was extremely disturbing.

The reason is simple, even fools can see that this column is definitely a "human" creation.

So here comes the problem.

Who made it?

Where are these people?

Especially this kind of grimace carving style, there is no such carving in the human world. Renault is sure that the Black Orcs also don't.

There is another question, how many years has this stone mountain stood on the island?

It can be thousands of years, maybe even tens of thousands of years.

What about the cylinder? Is it also buried in the stone mountain for thousands of years?

of course! Apart from this explanation, there is no second possibility.

This also means that this column was thrown into the volcano tens of thousands of years ago, before Shishan was an active volcano. Later, as the years changed, the volcano fell silent, and the lava cooled into rock and sealed the column. In the stone.

In other words, it is a prehistoric relic!

Because the recorded history of mankind is only more than 4,000 years, if the column is not a prehistoric relic, what else is it?

There is another point. The strange runes on the cylindrical surface are called prehistoric runes. The number of them is very large. Reynolds roughly counted them and found that the total number was more than 2,000.

Renault believes that these prehistoric runes must not be decorative patterns, but similar to the existence of magic runes, which also have unique functions.

This fact is even more frightening. What is the function of a huge rune structure composed of more than 2,000 prehistoric runes?

According to Seth, so far, the most complex rune structure created by humans has only more than 500 runes, and it is the legendary magic cannon that uses this rune.

This also represents the technological level of prehistoric relics, which far exceeds that of humans.

This is really tempting to reverie.

Why did the relic maker throw it into the volcano?

Lost accidentally? Thinking with your toes, you also know that it is impossible. How can an item full of extraordinary power be accidentally lost?

What is the purpose of the relic maker?

Considering that it exudes a strong fire elemental power, Renault boldly guessed that its real function is most likely to absorb the energy in the volcano. The death of this volcano is extremely forceful and the rune structure on the relic has great significance. relationship.

Originally, Renault tried to activate the prehistoric rune by inputting magic energy, but when he thought that the relic's breath was so evil and strange, he dispelled the idea.

What if something happens? It's better to be more cautious. Let others try this kind of potentially dangerous thing.

Finally, and most importantly, this relic looks so evil and ferocious, does it also mean that the creator of the relic is also a group of extremely tyrannical and bloodthirsty guys?

The relics prove that they once appeared in this world, will they appear again?

However, no one can answer these questions unless time can be reversed or travel to prehistoric times.

These conclusions are not difficult to draw. In addition to Renault, Moose and Elon also thought of this. When they looked at the cylinder, the expressions on their faces became more and more horrified.

Moose sighed suddenly and whispered: "The grimace carved on it reminds me of the devil..."

Seeing Renault glancing at himself, he smiled awkwardly, and quickly added: "I'm talking about the real devil..."

Moose used to mistakenly believe that Renault had acquired the power of the devil, but after so long together, he has understood that although that power is as powerful as the devil, its essence is not "devil" at all.

Is there such a kind devil in the world? Is there such a devil that is considered "extremely benevolent" by all civilians in the territory?

For some reason, Renault suddenly thought of the "evil trial" of the Church of God the Father in his mind. This idea had no reason, but he intuitively felt that there might be a certain connection between the two.

As an organization with a long history, the church must be aware of many historical facts. Since the relic makers have existed, their traces are definitely more than this. Will the church also have relevant information?

After chanting "The Evil Trial" several times, Renault waved his hand and melted a sharp thorn. The red molten liquid squirmed and wrapped the prehistoric relics.

After the melt was completed, a silver-white metal film appeared on the surface of the relic, which covered its true appearance.

Renault decided to take this thing back and let the Seth guys study it carefully, maybe they could find some good things from these prehistoric runes.

Odin Island, Rune Institute.

"Lord Lord, you are right to guess, the rune on the surface of this relic does have a certain connection with the current mana rune."

"I think Billy can tell you more about this knowledge. He is an expert in the history of rune development..."

Having said this, Seth exchanged glances with a thin rune magician.

This magician is Billy, he is also the oldest of all the magicians, and his temples are already a little gray.

Billy stood up first, bowed respectfully to Renault, and turned to look at the prehistoric relic placed in front of him.

"Lord Lord, your luck is amazing. As far as I know, the number of prehistoric relics is very, very rare. Even the number of prehistoric relics in the hands of the Church of the Father God does not exceed 5..."

"No one knows how long these prehistoric relics are. The current documented historical documents can only be traced back to more than 4,600 years ago. I heard that the church once found a relic more than 8,000 years ago, but they did not disclose the matter. , I don’t know if it is true or not."

"Regarding the prehistoric runes inscribed on the relics, there is a saying in the rune research community that the emergence of magic runes is the inspiration obtained from prehistoric runes."

"In addition, some rune history researchers think that prehistoric runes are actually...magic runes!"

After hearing the word "magic", Renault's eyes widened. He sat upright and couldn't help asking again and again: "Does magic really exist? But I heard that when magic is used, doesn't it attract external energy?"

"If you do this, more of the energy drawn will be violent mana, the casting process will be completely out of control, and you will be lucky if you don't die..."

Billy smiled slightly and slapped a little flattery: "It is true, Lord, your knowledge is very broad..."

"As to whether magic really exists, there has always been a great controversy in the field of rune history."

"Most of the researchers of the history of runes do not believe that magic really exists, because the few prehistoric relics inscribed with magic runes cannot be activated at all."

"Those magic runes are like useless patterns. No matter how much mana energy is input, they cannot be activated..."

"However, according to an unconfirmed rumor, not all magic runes on prehistoric relics cannot be activated. One relic was successfully activated once..."

At this point, Billy's expression became serious.

"Unfortunately, an extremely terrifying violent demon energy riot occurred in the end. Within a radius of tens of meters from the prehistoric relics, all people and objects were instantly annihilated and disappeared without a trace..."

"If this matter is not a lie, it would be wise for you to choose not to activate this prehistoric relic..."

Renault nodded lightly and asked, "Is there any safer way to try to activate the relic?"

Seth took the conversation: "Your lord, maybe we can try remote activation, but we have never touched the prehistoric rune, and it will take a while to study its structure."

He showed a somewhat apologetic expression again, "It is impossible to estimate how much time it will take at present..."

Renault smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can afford to wait, you have plenty of time to study."

He also emphasized: "But we must remember that safety is the first priority. The results of the research are not important. If it is broken, it will be fine. But I don't want to see any casualties. In my opinion, you are better than relics. Ten thousand times more important..."

The two of them immediately showed a touch of emotion, and bowed deeply together.

In Renault's view, the relic is just a dead thing picked up, and it is not a pity if it is damaged. These rune magicians are the real treasures. As long as they are still alive, they will continue to create value with energy.

Well, this is called people-oriented.

Half a month later, in the roaring cold wind and the crowd watching, two thousand-ton trimarans raised their sails and broke through the waves and sailed into the distance.

They are the Odin and Haichao, and the destination of this trip is the Glow Continent.

Standing on the stern of the Odin, Renault sighed while looking at Angela who had been waving vigorously on the dock.

It is the cold winter month and the last month of 745 years in the lunar and ephemeris calendar. I hope to return to the Tide Islands before the new year.
