Chapter 249 Aura Breaking Stele 2
The East Braftford relics was one of the most dangerous relics in Trundel City's surrounding area. But at the same time, it was one of the major tourist attractions of the city, because of the Aura-Breaking Stele.The stele was termed the Aura-breaking Stele, because according to re
A small fence was built around the area with a gate in front. By the gate, a few soldiers stood guard armed with gun-type vestiges. Two of them attended to the crowd lined up with a special type of machine in their hands. The devices not only helped with payment but also recorded the data of every tourist who came to the site for security reasons.
Due to the length of the queue, it took around an hour before Lucas' turn came to pay for the entrance ticket. Once in front of one of the two soldiers, he scanned his palm over the device and was allowed to go in. Although he had expected it, the entrance fee was quite pricey; thirty federal coins. But since he was already here, Lucas didn't dwell on it.
'I need to raise prices of services.' Lucas thought as he walked past the security checkpoint.
On the other side, a large stele that reached at least twenty metres (65.6 feet) in height appeared before Lucas. That was the same height as a four storey- building. The width roughly measured around seven metres (23 feet), giving such an overwhelming sight. It was unimaginable to think that the entire surface of such a large structure was hand-filled with inscriptions roughly the same size as a fingernail.
There were hundreds of thousands of such tiny inscriptions which was why the Aura-breaking stele was a very important artefact for one to comprehend the ancient inscription of the Sunil civilisation. Even though he had yet to reach it, Lucas was confident that if he went through the entire stele, he would fulfill the requirements for the mission given to him by the system.
The problem however, was doing just that.
Even with the advantage of being able to partially understand magi runes, it would take Lucas at least 2-3 days to cover the entire steele. This was because both the front and back were filled with these inscriptions. The staggering height of twenty metres also presented a challenge since it would be difficult to clearly see the tiny inscriptions at the top.
Lucas could depend on his sharp senses to do so, but it would consume a lot of his mental energy, making this a very tiring endeavour. Consuming mental energy while both trying to read the inscriptions and decipher them would result in Lucas not being able to spend much time on the job as he would tire out faster. Adding this in mind, it would extend the duration he would need to complete the stele by at least one day.
'I just need to learn enough to complete the mission, not the stele.' Lucas comforted himself before looking around.
At the entrance, there was a long queue but the inside was more packed. A rough estimate would put the number of people present to be somewhere between four to five hundred people. Such a crowd shouldn't really be termed as a lot, but the space was small and limited. As such, they were almost packed together here.
Some of them were tourists who posed close to the stele and took pictures, while others were historians, researchers or vestige-smiths who marveled at the stone and tried to decipher what they could. Differentiating between the two was quite easy since their gazes and treatment towards the stele differed largely.
To the tourists, they were only somewhat impressed by it, particularly because of its size and uniqueness; especially the mysterious aura all around it.
However, to the erudite scholars and researchers, their gaze towards the stele was one of adulation, deep interest, curiosity, and even idolization. To this group of people, even though the Aura-breaking stele was from a civilisation far behind theirs, there were some remarkable features and technology from the Sunil civilisation that even surpassed those on Eretre.
It was undeniable that the Aura-breaking stele held more value to the second group than the first. Even the city government knew this and were aware of the value that the comprehension of the unknown runes would bring to them. Hence, they slashed the entrance fee by fifty percent for these individuals.
If Lucas had an official identification document for being a vestige-smith, he would have gone in while paying only fifteen federal coins. However, he didn't have a membership or licence from the Eretrean Vestige-smith League, especially since he was blacklisted back in the Baylands City branch, so Lucas could only pay the regular fee.
Ignoring the crowd, Lucas turned his attention to the purpose of his visit; the towering stele.
The grey Aura-breaking stele stood tall that even with the crowd ahead, Lucas could still get a good glance at it. However, the distance between him and the stele was at least thirty metres, making it somewhat difficult for Lucas to be able to study the runes. But this was only just a little bit of difficulty.
Without wasting any time, Lucas found a spot by the side as he couldn't waste another hour on a queue. Unbeknownst to him though, Laura and Vergil were also present within the crowd. However, because of their identities, as well as that of those in the group, they were given better treatment and managed to skip the long queue to appear within the viewing area of the stele —a space at least five metres away from the stele.
