Otherworldly White Dragon Lord Chapter 74: Forgotten ancients and the entanglement of interests
An ancient city that has slept in the underground world for many years, and almost half of the cities soaked in water are full of tall buildings, like forests made of steel. From the appearance, these buildings are like tall beehives. The buildings that would appear only in the weird world under the abstract painter's brush should have been a magnificent and magnificent city, but they were all lifeless due to the erosion of the years. The buildings in the city were covered with yellow vines and the air was filled with dark green. The mist is like the city of **** in the last daylight scene.
It did n’t take long to walk around the collapsed statue. This is all that Yalin saw, an ancient and mysterious city that was forgotten in the deepest city in the world.
"It's really amazing ┉┉" Yalin said with a sigh while standing on the rock wall and looking at the whole city.
Even without mental detection, Yalin could already feel the familiar pyramid in the center of the city, attracting himself with a familiar atmosphere. Undoubtedly, this is my ultimate goal. The Soul Stone, which can increase the speed of soul energy recovery, is sending a signal of guidance to itself.
Along the way, Yalin searched the entire city with spirit detection but found no trace of life. The road to here was covered with all kinds of strange and terrible creatures, but there was even a shadow in this city. Invisible, this made Yalin feel weird. The pyramid building where the Soul Stone is located seems to have a strong shielding power, that is, the powerful spiritual detection of the White Dragon King cannot penetrate this shield.
There are no corpses, no ruins, and all buildings are intact. This dark and unmanned ghost town is not caused by war or disaster, but it is abandoned by the residents. Yalin flew to a minaret and looked down at the lonely unmanned city below and reached a conclusion.
What happened to the residents here abandoned their city?
The creatures set in the myth of Cthulhu are not just abnormal monsters. On the contrary, these creatures are species with extremely high intelligence. In the original novels, they even shared a lot of science and technology to humans, among them the chaotic 'Nyala Totip's messengers and representatives of all Tibetan gods, a symbol of ridicule and contradiction. Legend has it that the atomic bomb and the theory of relativity were imparted to Einstein. The purpose is to allow humans to accelerate their self-extinction faster and complete the task of 'great cleaning' .
If ‘Panda’ really created these creatures completely according to the myth of Cthulhu, then these ancient creatures should not just disappear out of thin air ┉┉
came to the bottom of the Great Pyramid building, Yalin was surprised to find that this huge building was actually suspended on the water surface, just like someone mischievously cut off the gravity under the building, so that the whole building was uprooted Floating in the air. Judging from the size of the stairs and the height of the entrances and exits, Yalin judged that the inhabitants of this place almost competed with the dragon in size.
The interior of the pyramid building is much more complicated than it looks outside. There are forks and stairs everywhere, and the builder ’s layout of the structure here is the same, enough to make all the outsiders who stepped in here feel completely disoriented. But fortunately, the fluctuation of the Soul Stone pointed out a clear path for Yalin, even the walls and gates that blocked the road would be broken into pieces under the terrible power of the White Dragon King.
After forcibly destroying the last heavy gate, Yalin finally saw the inhabitants here┉┉ or the numerous remains of the inhabitants here.
And now Yalin finally understands the function of this pyramid building. It ’s not a tomb but a kind of escape room. The residents in the city are lying in dormant devices similar to the spaceships in science fiction movies. Things. The device has stopped running, but the dormant inside has turned into a bone. Looking around the entire building, thousands of dormant devices are placed up and down. The escape room with a survivor's hope is like The giant's coffin is generally lifeless.
Yalin walked slowly to look at the inhabitants of the ancient city, and it seemed that the shortest height of these humanoid creatures was more than ten meters at night, and the taller ones almost reached more than twenty meters high. They do have some The characteristics of the residents of Cthulhu myths seem to be somewhat similar to demons such as Destroyer. While walking, Yalin suddenly stopped, a huge city resident remains in a dormant device in front of him was holding a lot of small remains, it seems to be a pair of mother and son or father and son.
They seem to be terrible in appearance, but they also have the same family and values as humans. If they are still alive, they may not be incommunicable creatures.
Yalin stood in front of the dormant device and saluted the two remains, then he did n’t want to look at it anymore and walked in front of his final goal of coming here, a huge machine with a blue light beam flowing in the center of the whole building In front, the middle part directly above the machine is a cylinder connecting the ground and the ceiling, a dazzling blue stone in the middle is slowly flowing, and exudes a strong soul energy breath around, Yalin can feel The flow of these soul breaths formed a messy shield, making their spiritual detection power completely useless.
"My esteemed master is the soul stone. Bringing this back to your body can increase the speed of soul energy recovery." Nemo's voice suddenly sounded in Yalin's mind.
"Nimo, do you know why the Soul Stone is in this machine?" Yalin did not rush forward to take the Soul Stone without reception, but asked why the Nemo Soul Stone was incomprehensible. Will be in this machine.
Nimo reverently replied: "Yes, my esteemed master┉┉"
According to Nemo ’s answer, Zhong Yalin understands that this soul stone seems to be used by these ancient creatures as an inexhaustible energy source for driving these dormant survival devices , I do n’t know how many thousands of years have passed after the Soul Stone is still delivering energy in an endless stream, but the device itself has lost its function due to aging and all the residents sleeping in it have died.
After listening to Nemo ’s explanation, Yalin nodded, sighed, and floated into the air, approaching the Soul Stone and extended his hand. However, at the moment when the Soul Stone was touched, the sound of gear biting seemed to be heard in the huge room. It seems that this building has not completely failed in these tens of thousands of years.
A ray of light suddenly flashed over Yalin and quickly took the stone and turned around. The powerful frost power had condensed in his hand. However, the ray of light was not a sudden enemy, but a similar projection. The 3D picture is just a picture of a creature that looks like a deep sea monster and is wearing a black robe, wriggling with an octopus tentacle-like arm, giving an unknown dull language. Even in the memory of the White Dragon King who lived to the present ten thousand years ago, there is no record of this language.
"Nimo, do you know what he is talking about?" Yalin asked Nemo in a puzzled manner. Although he didn't know what the other person's words meant, Yalin could still learn from the other person's tone and body movements. Read some messages, fear, sadness, despair, and warnings and prayers.
"I'm sorry for my esteemed master, I don't have any language information of this creature in my database." Nemo told an answer that surprised Yalin.
"No, you actually have something you don't know." Obviously, Yalin has developed the habit of getting accurate answers to Nemo when asking basic questions about the world.
Nimo also said with apology: "I am really sorry for my esteemed master. I carry all the language, customs, and cultural information of the creatures created by the creator of the new era. The abandoned old-time creatures do not have much detailed records about them. "
Yalin looked very helpless and sighed, "Is there no way to know what happened here?"
"It ’s not that there is no way I can respect my master." Nemo ’s voice continued to sound in Yalin ’s mind: “I can try to crack the translation of this language, but it will take some time.”
"OK, then start now." Yalin nodded while holding the Soul Stone.
===============================
In the private hall where the chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce in Hordaland, sitting in a luxuriously decorated bedroom, Lawrence Vick is listening to the reports of the major chambers of commerce through the magic device communication device, and dealing with the differences in the free city The distribution of interests between factions and businessmen, the benefits of the chair of the chamber of commerce are indeed attractive, but there are also a lot of spiky people who have no skills, but they will hurt themselves. . The merchants in the free city are a whole. Through the integration of interests, different merchants are brought together. No one can be separated from each other, like weapons merchants cannot be separated from ore supply merchants, horse merchants cannot be separated from grain merchants, and all Businessmen cannot do without monopolizing themselves in the transportation industry. Lawrence is well aware that a free city is like a unique ecosystem, and if any link fails, the ecosystem will collapse.
Today Lawrence did n’t listen much to the income reports of the major chambers of commerce in the city. Instead, he focused more on the foggy forest. The heavy snow all year round has spared the Saxony Kingdom of the extreme north. After two wars with the Ogg Barbarian, if the snow continues like this, the situation on the mainland may have to be rewritten a little bit.
Lawrence gently tapped the table with his finger and said, "No matter whether other countries’ assistance to the Saxony Kingdom is reduced, Free City will guarantee the supply of Saxony Kingdom supplies this year. "
touched the communicator and heard the echo: "Is that alright? Mr. Lawrence! Every time some of the supplies to the Saxony Kingdom will be swallowed by the Kingdom of Berrama, is it too wasteful to go on like this?" "
"It doesn't matter! After all, the snow is really unreliable. If it suddenly stops, the situation has to change back to what it used to be. At this time, it is not a bad thing to gain some friendship from the Kingdom of Saxony, it is not necessary. In order to save a little and lose greater benefits. "Lawrence said here, the young and beautiful maid behind slowly poured a hot cup of coffee for him.
Ogmans have always been public enemies of the entire continent, and the location of the Saxony Kingdom is just right on the front line of the battlefield against the Ogmans. In order to resist the Ogmans and the free cities, the Saxon Kingdom has been given a lot of supplies And food aid. On the surface, the Kingdom of Saxony seems to have made a huge sacrifice for the safety of the entire continent, but Lawrence understands that some insiders, the Ogg Barbarian has also maintained in some cases and is not a reason for the continued existence of the powerful Saxony Kingdom. In fact, the Saxony Kingdom in the extreme north is not suitable for crop cultivation. Food has always been the most scarce material in the country. If the Ogg Barbarians stop the invasion, then countries will also stop food assistance to the Saxony Kingdom, which may cause Saxony The Kingdom had to find other ways to obtain food supplies.
However, the most important point is the so-called greater 'interest' mentioned by Lawrence. The Kingdom of Saxony is located in the extreme north. Although it is not suitable for farming, close to the misty forest can get a lot of forest resources, and in its country There have been too many high-value mineral resources found in the territory, among which the rarest spinel veins are as high as six, and the value of these six spinel veins is estimated to be trillions of liens. It ’s just that the Kingdom of Saxony does n’t have so many people and enough technology to mine these ores. Invade the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony.
The Saxony Kingdom in the extreme north, where manpower and skills are scarce, is a person who is starving at the Golden Mountain. The free resources of the free city can quickly fill the vacancy of the Saxony Kingdom. If the snow is really going down forever, then it is necessary to grab the important mineral resources in the country of Saxony in front of the countries. For a country like Saxony that cannot produce grain, I am afraid it will have to be in the future. All kinds of precious minerals are exchanged for food and materials.
But that's how it works. A lone wolf with claws and fangs pulled out can become a loyal watchdog!
Thinking of Lawrence nodded in satisfaction here, but suddenly Zou frowned, not to mention the matter of the Kingdom of Saxony. Not only the mainland ’s recent rise of the Karlsmann empire was a real problem, but he recently defeated Ke. After the army of the kingdom of Rexes, the slave merchants who originally thought that they could obtain a large number of 'commodities' actually only got some fractions. The karsmen empire gave Huairou policy to the captured captives and residents of the occupied army In the wars of some countries before the mainland, the trafficking of enemy prisoners and territories was a common method of warfare. The ruthless Prince Augustus made such a move, which really made Lawrence feel a little difficult to understand.
Creises and the Kalthamen Empire both came from the same source after the collapse of the Perlas Empire established by the overlord Garcerik. It can be said that it was originally a split from a country with the same blood line. ┉┉Every thought of this, Lawrence always has some uneasy hunches. Perhaps it is necessary to inquire more about the wind of this prince!
