Chapter 414: "Curator"
"Are these all ...... bookshelves?"
Goronn muttered to himself. In front of him www.biquge.info there were two rows of heavy bookshelves that stretched to the end of the field of vision, and neither the front nor the back knew how long they were. Not only are these bookshelves long, but they are also so high that you can't see the top floor, and you can't see the end.
When Goron regained consciousness, he found himself in such a strange place that resembled a dark library. However, the Tower of Babel itself is a bizarre world, each tower layer is an independent and complete dimensional microcosm, what a strange and bizarre terrain environment, how strange and unpredictable ecological environment, Goron has long been surprised.
It's just that what makes him a little concerned is that he is separated from everyone again, the eternal dragon girl Bluetooth, the auxiliary master master Axiu, and the mysterious old bastard Odin are all unknown at this time. The only thing that can be called good news is that Goron noticed that all the side effects of his body were seriously overdrawn seemed to have disappeared, you know, Goron was already mentally prepared for a near-death struggle, and even a year or two of coma again. After all, this battle was too much of an overdraft on his body.
"Was it some strange power at the top of the Tower of Babel that healed me, or was it ...... I've actually been in a coma for quite some time, and my body has recovered naturally...... "Goron couldn't know exactly what kind of situation he was in, but his priority now was to figure out where he was.
It's a very dimly lit place, and there is no light source to be found, but the surrounding area guarantees a minimum of field of vision, and it is dim. Goron tried to activate the second supernatural power, but found that this divine power from another world also seemed to be interfered with by some external force and could not be activated normally.
Goron looked at the nearest bookshelf and saw that the entire shelf was separated by countless square spaces, and in each space there were three things, a richly decorated tome, a crystal ball the size of a baby's head, and a piece of fresh flesh dripping with blood.
Each of these pieces of meat was different, and as an Ogre chef with a lot of experience in dismantling, Goron could tell what most of them were at a glance, after all, some were simply the arms and feet of humanoids, some were simply the entire heads of small creatures, or even the entire torso, such as the Flower Elf, which was only the size of a palm. Then there are scaly musculature or very purposely structured internal organs.
Goron casually picked up a dark, delicate paw, which was supposed to belong to the left foot of a female dark elf, and it felt as if it had just been cut off from a living body, the skin was soft, the fracture was fresh, and even a little warm remained. When this was confirmed, Goron knew that he would not starve to death here, at least.
Then Goron set his eyes on the crystal balls on the shelves, and in each crystal ball, there was a holographic projection of a creature, and these miniature projections came to life in the crystal ball, sometimes they ran, sometimes prey, sometimes copulated, sometimes sleep...... At a glance, Goron recognized the six-legged swamp monitor lizard, Komodo war behemoths, dwarves, half-fishmen and other creatures, and at a glance, Goron not only found that there were humanoids, subhumans, monsters, beasts, but also many plants in these crystal balls.
As for the last hardcover tome, the text described on it Goron is not recognized, but the images depicted can be distinguished, and they are the creatures in the corresponding crystal balls. It's just that Goron is quite interested in the painters who paint these images, which do not look like they are painted at all, but like the whole rubbing of living creatures on the paper, and the meticulous realism is incomprehensible.
Combined with the meat blocks, crystal balls, and books, Goron initially deduced that this was a very large repository of creatures, with each block corresponding to a creature. The crystal ball records the ecology of the creature, and the classics record the details of the creature, but he doesn't know what these pieces of meat do for him. Is it just to record the quality and taste of these creatures?
Just when Goron fell into deep thought, he didn't know whether he had accidentally touched some mechanism, or due to the influence of a mysterious will, in short, the entire "library" suddenly sounded a buzzing sound, and then the whole place lit up, and in the next moment, the bookshelves that were originally less than one meter apart from the left and right sides suddenly parted to both sides, leaving an open space hundreds of kilometers wide.
"Welcome to the 'Ark of Life', visitors, please present your 'invitation' within ten seconds, otherwise, the 'curator' will initiate your expulsion measures......"
With a clear and soft male voice sounding, from a distance, a huge thing was walking towards Goron.
Of course Goron won't have that "invitation" or something, and what this "curator" is, Goron won't even know, now he only knows that he is on something called the 'Ark of Life', and this 'curator' has no kindness to him, so he can only put on a posture to face the battle.
However, the moment Goron saw this "curator" with his own eyes, he directly gave up the idea of violent resistance, for the simple reason that this is not an existence that one person, or even an entire legion, can resist.
This so-called "curator" is simply a war colossus.
This thing Goron had only heard of in ancient legends, and it was a giant war puppet developed by the Magic Emperor to fight against the gods of the Celestial Realm. I thought the adjectives in those myths and legends were exaggerated, because the verses describing the Colossus of War sounded a little exaggerated. However, it was only at this moment that Goron realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
To put it simply, the thing in front of him was a mountain barrier made of steel, and it was only one size smaller than the ogre ancestor Grull that Goron had seen in the ancient fantasy, and even the Cyclops he had seen before was far from being compared to this steel-and-iron thing. What's more, on the steel body of this "curator", there are countless huge iron pipes that are black, thick and hard......
Goron is also an arms dealer no matter how he says it, although he is a listed boss who doesn't take care of things, but he is the big boss of the black city after all. With the design drawings provided by the dwarven alchemist Vegapunk, the arsenal of the Black City was able to produce the most advanced thermal weapons in the entire Dota Continent. However, in Golon's opinion, the hair-like barrels on the curator's body, even the thinnest and smallest of them, were several times larger than the largest caliber "giant cannon" in the Black City Arsenal. With this kind of cheating plug-in firepower, I believe that even if the Angel Legion that I have seen before launches a general attack, I am afraid it will not be the opponent of this "curator".
Goron is not a man without courage, in fact, with his ogre blood, he often falls into an irrational rage. But he will not launch meaningless and worthless provocations against things that are unknown and have no deep hatred before, without any chance of winning.
There is no sky in this library, known as the "Ark of Life", otherwise even the clouds would have reached the chest of the "curator". It was extremely far away from Golon, but the distance taken by the curator was also very considerable, so this ancient war colossus seemed to move slowly, but in fact, it only took a moment to come to Golon's face, and then the "curator" Lord stopped, and in the midst of Golon's cold hair, the countless cannon barrels on its body were all lit up, making a buzzing energy storage adjustment sound, and then the muzzles of the cannons were all aimed at Golon......
"Please show your 'invitation letter' as soon as possible, otherwise the 'curator' will forcibly expel you, please forgive me for the inconvenience ~~~!"
This polite phrase is in stark contrast to the countless muzzles of the guns that are ready to fire. So when he saw the disparity in strength between the two sides, Goron straightened up very simply, raised his hands high, and shouted: "I have no malicious intent, don't attack me!"
When Golon's voice fell, the curator's movements suddenly paused, but the movement of its cannon muzzles all over its body became louder and louder, and Goron's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, ready to make a desperate bet and launch all his strength...... When he turned to run away, the "curator" suddenly stood up straight, and the barrels of his cannon cooled down, and he heard the gentle and polite, butler-like male voice continue: "Detect that the visitor is not obviously hostile, and scan the visitor's whole body...... At the end of the scan, no offensive weapons were found, no theft or intentional destruction of the internal materials of the Ark of Life was found, the forced eviction procedure was suspended, and the visitor was requested to provide a reasonable reason for his stay and decide whether to continue the eviction procedure according to the circumstances......"
In an instant, Goron's affection for this big man doubled, he didn't expect it to be so "reasonable", and he was glad that he hadn't eaten it before. Goron didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly racked his brains to come up with various reasons. It's a pity that many of his reasons, such as "refuge", "accidentally broke in", "I didn't know how to get in" and many other reasons were finally rejected by the curator, and when he saw that the curator's cannon barrels all over his body began to charge and aim at him again, Goron's mind flashed, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Yes, it was the old bastard Odin who brought me in!"
The curator's movements suddenly stopped, and then a purple light shot out from his head, shining on Golon, who was secretly ready to resist the attack, but found that this purple light seemed to be lethal to himself, and then the image of a lewd old man was condensed in the purple light, who else could it be that the mysterious old bastard whose whereabouts were unknown.
"Memory image extraction successful...... The identity of the visitor has been confirmed, all eviction proceedings have been terminated, and the visitor's access has been elevated...... Curator wishes you a fruitful journey in the Ark of Life. ”
After saying these words, the mountain-like steel colossus turned away, and disappeared without a trace after a few steps.
Just as Goron was still apprehensive and regretted that he hadn't asked the curator about the whereabouts of his companions, the ground suddenly shook...... (To be continued.) )
