Where did the older Moon Altars go?
At this question, everyone crowded around Li Luo's electronic screen again, pointing as they launched into a serious discussion.
"This one should be from two hundred years ago. It doesn't look that old. Look at the stones on it—there isn't even any wear."
"Not necessarily. I think this one is from a long time ago. The runes are all a bit blurry! It must have been a long time."
"That's because the runes are glowing, which is why you think they're blurry. From this far away, anything that glows is going to be hard to see clearly!"
"Isn't there wear on these edges, too? Look here, there's even a hole right through it."
"Hey! That's not wear and tear. That's a water channel to let seawater pass through, to reduce the impact of the sea on the structure. The Moon Altar we're on now has them too. Go see for yourself if you don't believe me!"
"Really?"
"..."
A babble of voices erupted as everyone argued at once.
