628 Two Kinds of Information

The excavation of the transferred Rock Mud Mountain progressed quite smoothly. The soil and rubble covering it were stripped away in an orderly fashion, gradually revealing what had been buried beneath.

Aside from the massive exotic beast skeletons commonly found in the Beast Bone Field, the cleared items were mixed with a large number of obviously man-made traces. The most common were curved metal bases, usually cast from some kind of corrosion-resistant dark alloy, with neat nail holes along the edges.

Large, heavy but shattered fragments of a transparent material often still clung to the bases. They resembled glass, but their texture was clearer and harder.

On the surfaces of these bases and "glass" fragments, some finely etched runes could still be made out. They were reinforcement-type magic runes that had long since lost their effect.

What was this?

Reinforced giant glass jars?

Somehow, the style felt familiar.

After carefully thinking back for a while, Linden finally remembered where that sense of familiarity came from.

The perspective shifted to the place where he had first seen Kees Heart.

It had been a secret chamber with a shattered door. Back then, Kees Heart had been skewered there by two collapsed pillars, and there had been some long-broken metal instruments around it.

Comparing them now, the styles really were somewhat similar.

There should be some connection between the two, but what exactly it was remained unknown.

As the excavation continued, more wreckage of glass jars was dug out, though they varied in size. The largest had a diameter of over a hundred meters.

Among them, the best-preserved one was a jar with a bottom diameter of less than thirty centimeters.

The entire jar's outer shell was almost intact, with only a small opening broken in the glass, and inside the jar, there
