Chapter 74

In ancient cities that have been sleeping in the underground world for many years, almost half of them are immersed in water. There are buildings with tall buildings everywhere, like a forest composed of steel. From the appearance, these buildings are like tall beehives and buildings that appear only in the strange world painted by abstract painters. They should have been magnificent big cities, However, due to the erosion of years, it seems dead everywhere. The buildings in the city are covered with yellow vines, and the air is filled with dark green fog, which is like the city of hell in the doomsday scene.

Not long after walking around the collapsed statue, this is what Yalin saw, an ancient and mysterious but forgotten city in the deepest part of the world.

"It's really amazing," said Yalin, standing on the rock wall and looking at the whole city.

Even without spiritual exploration and search, Yalin can feel that there is a familiar atmosphere in the huge pyramid like buildings in the center of the city, attracting his past. There is no doubt that this is their ultimate goal. The soul stone, which can improve the energy recovery of the soul, is sending a guiding signal to themselves.

Along the way, Yalin searched the whole city with spiritual exploration, but there was no trace of life. The road to here was full of all kinds of strange and deformed terrible creatures, but he couldn't even see a shadow in the city, which made Yalin feel very strange. The pyramid building where the soul stone is located seems to have a strong shielding force, which can not be penetrated by the powerful spiritual detection of the White Dragon King.

There are no remains, no ruins, and all buildings are intact. This dark ghost town is not caused by war or disaster, but abandoned by residents. Yalin reached his conclusion after flying to a spire and overlooking the lonely city below.

What happened to make the residents abandon their city?

The creatures set in the kesulu myth are not just monsters with deformities. On the contrary, these creatures are species with extremely high wisdom. In the original novel, they even share a lot of science and technology with human beings. Among them, chaos' nayaratotip 'is the messenger and representative of all Tibetan gods, a symbol of ridicule and contradiction. It is said that he taught Einstein the atomic bomb and relativity, The purpose is to enable mankind to quickly increase self extinction and complete the task of "sweeping".

If the "Panda" really created these creatures in full accordance with the ksuru myth, these ancient creatures should not disappear out of thin air

When he came to the bottom of the great pyramid, Yalin was surprised that the huge building was actually suspended on the water. It was like someone jokingly cut off the gravity under the building, uprooting the whole building and floating in the air. Judging from the size of the steps and the height of the entrance and exit, Yalin judged that the former residents here almost competed with the giant dragon in volume.

The inside of the pyramid building is much more complex than the outside. There are forks and stairs everywhere. In addition, the builders have arranged the pattern here in a uniform way, which is enough to make all outsiders who step here completely lose their sense of direction. Fortunately, the wave scattered by the soul stone points out a clear path for Yalin, Even the walls and gates in the way will be broken into pieces under the terrible power of the White Dragon King.

Finally, after forcibly destroying the last heavy gate, Yalin finally saw the residents here, or the numerous remains of the residents here.

At the moment, Yalin finally understood the role of the pyramid. It was not a tomb, but rather an escape room. The residents of the city were lying in something a little similar to the sleep device on the spaceship in science fiction movies. The device has stopped running, but the dormants inside have turned into white bones. Looking around, thousands of dormant devices are placed up and down the whole building. The escape room with the hope of survivors is like a giant's coffin.

Yalin walked slowly forward and looked at the ancient city residents inside. Visually, it seemed that the shortest of these humanoid creatures was more than 10 meters at night, and the taller ones were almost more than 20 meters high. They did have some characteristics of residents in kesulu mythology, and their appearance seemed to be a bit similar to demons such as heart grabbing demons. As he walked, Yalin suddenly stopped. In front of him, a huge urban resident's remains in a dormant device were holding a lot of small remains, which seemed to be a mother and son or father and son.

They seem terrible in appearance, but they also have the same family feelings and values as humans. If they are still alive, they may not be uncommunicable creatures.

Yalin stood in front of the dormancy device and gently saluted the two remains. Then, unwilling to see more, he came to the final goal of coming here. In front of the huge machine with a blue light column flowing in the center of the whole building, the middle part directly above the machine is a cylinder connecting the ground and the ceiling, and a dazzling blue stone in the middle is slowly flowing, And there was a strong breath of soul energy around. Yalin could feel the flow of these soul breath, forming a messy shield, making his spiritual detection power completely ineffective.

"My dear master, this is the soul stone. Taking this back to your body can improve the recovery of soul energy." Nemo's voice suddenly rang out in Yalin's mind.

"Nemo, do you know why the soul stone is in this machine?" Yalin didn't rush forward to take away the soul stone. Instead, he asked why Nemo's soul stone was in the machine.

Nemo replied respectfully, "yes, my dear master."

From Nemo's answer, Yalin understood that this soul stone seems to be used by these ancient creatures as an inexhaustible energy source to drive these dormant survival devices. After many thousands of years, the soul stone is still delivering energy, However, the device itself has lost its function due to aging, resulting in the death of all residents sleeping in it.

After listening to Nemo's explanation, Yalin nodded, sighed, floated into the air, approached the soul stone and stretched out his hand. However, at the moment of touching the soul stone, the sound of gear meshing and running seems to come from the huge room. It seems that the building has not completely lost its function in these tens of thousands of years.

A flash of light suddenly flashed over. Yalin quickly took away the stone and turned around alertly. He had gathered a strong force of frost in his hands. However, the light was not a sudden enemy, but a 3D picture similar to a projection. On the picture, a creature that looked like a deep-sea sea demon was wearing a black robe, Wriggling Octopus tentacle like arms speak unknown dull language. Even the memory of the White Dragon King who lived ten thousand years ago has no record of this language.

"Nemo, do you know what he's talking about?" Yalin puzzled asked Nemo. Although he didn't know what the other party's words meant, Yalin could still read some messages from the other party's tone and body movements, such as fear, sadness, despair, warning and prayer.

"I'm sorry, my dear master. There is no language data of this creature in my database." Nemo told an answer that surprised Yalin.

"No, you have something you don't know." Obviously, usually, Yalin has developed the habit of asking Nemo for accurate answers when there are basic questions related to the world.

Nemo also said with apology: "I'm really sorry, my dear master. What I carry are all the language, customs and cultural materials of the creatures created by the creator in the new era. There are not many detailed records about the extinct and abandoned creatures of the old era."

Yalin sighed helplessly and said, "so there's no way to know what's happening here?"

"It's not completely impossible, my respected Master." Nemo's voice continued to ring in Yalin's mind: "I can try to crack and translate this language, but it will take some time."

"OK, let's start now." Yalin held the soul stone and nodded.

===============================

In the private residence where the president of the free city chamber of Commerce in hodalam stayed, sitting in the luxurious bedroom, Lawrence Vick is listening to the reports of major chambers of commerce through the magic guide communication device and dealing with the distribution of large and small interests among different factions and businessmen in the free city. The benefits brought by the chair of the president of the chamber of commerce are really attractive, But there are also many sharp thorns on it. People without any ability will hurt themselves if they sit on it. The merchants in the free city are a whole. Through the integration of interests, different merchants are gathered together. No one can be separated from each other. For example, weapons merchants can not be separated from ore suppliers, horses merchants can not be separated from grain merchants, and all merchants can not be separated from monopolizing the transportation industry. Lawrence is well aware that the free city is like a unique ecosystem. If any link goes wrong, it will lead to the collapse of the ecosystem.

Today, Lawrence didn't listen much to the income reports of major chambers of Commerce in the city. On the contrary, he focused more on the misty forest. The heavy snow all year round has saved the Saxony kingdom in the far north from two wars with the Ogg barbarians. If the snow continues, I'm afraid the situation of big 6 will be rewritten a little.

Lawrence gently tapped the table with his finger and said, "no matter whether other countries reduce their assistance to the Saxony kingdom or not, the materials of the free city this year are still guaranteed to supply the Saxony kingdom."

Touching the messenger, a reply came out: "is that all right, Mr. Lawrence? Every time a part of the supplies supplied to the Saxony kingdom will be embezzled by the belrama kingdom. Is it too wasteful to go on like this?"

"It doesn't matter! After all, the snow really makes people feel uneasy. If it suddenly stops, the situation will have to change back to the past. It's not a bad thing to get some friendship from Saxony at this time. There's no need to lose more benefits in order to save." When Lawrence said this, the beautiful young maid behind him slowly poured a cup of hot coffee.

The ogemans have always been the public enemies of the whole big six countries, and the Saxony kingdom is located in the front line of the battlefield against the ogemans. In order to resist the ogemans, all six countries and free cities have given the Saxony kingdom a lot of material and food aid. On the surface, the Saxony Kingdom seems to have made great sacrifices for the safety of the whole big 6, but Lawrence knows some insider stories, and the Ogg barbarians also maintain in some cases, which is not a very strong reason for the continued existence of the Saxony kingdom, In fact, the Saxony kingdom in the far north is not suitable for crop cultivation. Food has always been the most scarce material in the country. If the ogerman stop invading, countries will also stop food aid to the Saxony Kingdom, which may lead to the Saxony Kingdom having to find other ways to obtain food materials.

However, the most important point is the so-called greater "interests" mentioned by Lawrence. Saxony kingdom is located in the far north. Although it is not suitable for farming, it can get a lot of forest resources close to the fog forest. Moreover, there have been many high-value mineral resources in its territory, including six of the rarest magic spar veins, The value of these six magic spar veins alone is estimated to be trillions of leans. However, the Saxony kingdom does not have so many people and enough technology to mine these minerals, and the countries that covet it on weekdays dare not openly invade the territory of the Saxony kingdom because of the importance of the Saxony kingdom that has always resisted the oggs.

The Saxony kingdom in the extreme north, which is very short of manpower and technology, is a person who starves with Jinshan. The various advantageous resources possessed by free cities can quickly fill the vacancy in the Saxony kingdom. If the heavy snow is really falling all the time, it is necessary to get ahead of all countries and master the important mineral resources in Saxony. For a country that cannot produce food, I'm afraid it will have to exchange all kinds of precious minerals for food in the future.

Only in this way can a lone wolf with sharp claws and sharp teeth become a loyal watchdog!

Lawrence nodded with satisfaction at the thought, but suddenly Zou raised an eyebrow. Not to mention the matter of Saxony Kingdom, the newly rising karserman empire is a real problem. After defeating the army of kreises Kingdom recently, slave traders who thought they could get a lot of "goods" actually made only a small profit, The karlseman empire gave a gentle policy to the captured king kreises * * prisoners and the residents of the occupied territory. In some countries before the sixth year of college, selling enemy prisoners and leading people was a common means to support the war. Lawrence felt a little hard to understand that the ruthless Prince Augustus actually made such a move.

Both kreises and caltherman Empire came from the same source after the collapse of the perlas Empire established by overlord galseric. It can be said that they are two countries divided by a country of the same blood. Lawrence always has some uneasy premonitions when he thinks of this. Maybe it's necessary to inquire more about the prince's highness!
