Chapter 169: Butterfly effect

Chapter 169: Butterfly effect

After the "Blast Furnace Oddity," no one else entered the Dragon’s Nest. The ice and snow giants were conquered by the Dragon King and became the majestic soldiers and loyal guards outside the Dragon’s Nest.

The towering giants stood in rows outside the arch, like ancient fierce beasts turned into ice sculptures, and just passing by would feel a sense of oppression.

It’s definitely impossible to break through.

Adventurers are well aware of the abilities of the ice and snow giants, which are not comparable to small monsters like the Cannibal Crab and the Fire Chicken. Especially in the northern ice and snow, they are a walking disaster.

It’s impossible to fight them, so the only option is to build good relationships and try to get something from the Dragon’s Nest. This is the inspiration that the Elf Lake treasure chest brings to everyone.

If the musk beetle is the darling of fragrance, then the split earthworm is a wild delicacy.

The earthworm’s gift failed to impress Pasha. It wasn’t interested in the earthworms. The power of the gloomy sun continued to be transmitted, and it slept and flew as it pleased, becoming stronger as time passed.

Although it didn’t eat the earthworms, Pasha used the power of the gloomy sun to turn some of the newly born split earthworms into gloomy descendants. These large earthworms can take care of the Dragon’s Nest and clear the ice and snow.

Adult split earthworms are transcendent creatures and are not affected. But before the split has transformed into two adults, they belong to ordinary life and can be transformed by the gloomy sun.

Lu Yao looked at the special products of the Dragon’s Nest.

The gloomy earthworm’s surface was black, more robust than the ordinary split earthworm, with higher values and an additional "Gloomy Descendant" ability in the panel.

The gloomy sun transformed the gloomy descendants, but the snowmen were used for external sales.

Lu Yao could only say, "Impressive, Jimmy."

But then he thought again and felt that something was wrong.

Does the snowman have that kind of intelligence?

Apart from traditional skills, it is not a clear-headed and good at planning person, which is also the reason why the snowman is difficult to predict and guard against.

The snowman said, "This idea was thought up by the mayor."

Who is the mayor?

Lu Yao was confused.

Could it be that Jimmy also sought advice from Yao City and Salt City?

This doesn’t sound like something it would do.

The snowman staggered over to a big guy.

"This is the mayor of the Dragon’s Nest."

Lu Yao took a look.

Isn’t this the elder of the ice and snow giants?

What a mess of a title.

The elder has a certain wisdom. So when facing Sarina, it wisely submitted and preserved the giant clan.

"Great god, please forgive your humble disciple’s boldness..."

The elder knelt in the ice and snow, pious and respectful.

Lu Yao listened to Jimmy’s rambling and checked the elder’s words, finally clarifying the cause and effect.

The last time the "Elf God" descended on the northern new continent, trying to conquer all the ice and snow giants. Although it was quickly exterminated by Sarina and the Blood Knight dispatched by Lu Yao, it caused a strong impact on the elder of the giants.

The elder hoped to turn the giant clan into a vassal of the Dragon’s Nest. With the protection of the dragon and the snowmen, the giants would have a certain self-preservation ability even if they encountered heretical gods again.

The snowman immediately agreed.

Because it felt that the Dragon’s Nest would be more imposing with the giants guarding the gate, making people more interested in challenging it.

Somehow, he had become the new mayor.

Tonghai declared, "Citizens, I now announce that the Archaeological Museum, proposed by Mr. Fabiani, sponsored by Mr. Pawa and Mrs. Jodi, and hosted by the Citizens’ Council, is open from today and will be accessible to all citizens."

"Inside, many important relics from our past history are displayed, which will remain in Salt City as an eternal record."

"Now, please follow Mr. Fabiani’s steps and take a tour inside!"

Many citizens walked in curiously.

Lu Yao locked his view on Fabiani’s head.

The museum’s interior was simply arranged, with ancient artifacts placed on stone platforms, all roped off and encircled.

Here, Lu Yao saw many things that stirred his memories.

【Demon Black Bear Skin】

【The First Prophet Nonglai’s Stone Shovel】

【Shaman Hunter’s Staff】

【Astrologer Shahahan’s personally written "A Brief History of the Tribes" on parchment scrolls】

...

There was even a handwritten copy of 【Advanced Mathematics】, with thick parchment filling an entire bookshelf.

Many little figures stopped here.

"No one can understand the divine book even now..."

"Those things above, truly incomprehensible."

"After all, it’s the language and wisdom of the gods, beyond mortal understanding."

The pixelated figures sighed as they gazed out to sea.

Lu Yao couldn’t help but think.

Many years later, if the pixelated figures advanced on the path of mathematics, their descendants’ first understanding of this advanced math book would surely be an interesting reaction.

He took a sip of hot water and suddenly noticed that Fabiani was leading the visiting citizens into a special room.

"This is the 【Museum’s】 【Old Gods Exhibition Room】."

Fabiani said, "Inside are the statues of the old gods who fell after challenging God Yao. I have restored these statues based on the scenes of the divine battles and various records and oral accounts."

"Success and progress are worth remembering, as are failure and the end, which are also a precious heritage."

A dialogue box appeared above his head: "Only by recognizing the former strength of these old gods can one understand the divine might and wisdom of God Yao."

"Here, the fall of nine old gods is recorded, carrying the glory of the temple!"

Exclamation marks popped up above the citizens’ heads as they gathered in the exhibition room.

At that moment, a prompt popped up in the Simulator.

【Salt City has invented the museum.】

【A new wonder prototype available: Museum.】

【The knowledge of everyone in Salt City has been slightly improved.】
