Chapter 140: Logical Traps
Look back in ten minutes.
Don't look at the carriage has no mechanical structure, but it is not easy to produce it, if you want to produce the carriage, at least steel or iron carriage frame and wheels, if you don't need to bear the load, you can use wooden carriage and wooden wheels, but even if it is made of wood, you need at least a tree, right?
The steel bone collar does not grow an inch of grass, and even if there are trees, they have already been cut down, where is the material to make carriages and wheels?
Even if the materials were to be obtained from somewhere else, it would take a skilled craftsman to make the spokes, and would there be such a creature as a craftsman in the steel bone collar?
Then Wright thought of another question: "Can steel be produced by steel collars?"
Hearing this question, Mobuck was naturally full of pride: "Of course, under the leadership of our king, our steel bone collar has successfully refined steel. ”
Mobuck was indeed proud, what was the situation of the steel bone collar before? barren land, barren land, dead land, except for the undead, there is nothing to survive here, let alone steel, not even a grain of rice can grow.
Everything has changed since His Majesty woke up from his slumber a year ago, and now he can produce steel, and although Mobuck doesn't know what steel can do to the undead, His Majesty's expectations are what they are fighting for.
However, when he thought of His Majesty's expectations, Mobuck couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, His Majesty hoped that the territory would be lively, but in the past year, there was not a single living person in the territory, just relying on them, these pure-hearted lich undead, where could they be lively?
Fortunately, Wright and the others came, and the territory could finally be lively for a while.
Mobuck's words made Wright and the others suspicious, less surprised, more suspicious. A necromancer asked, "How did you solve the fuel problem?"
Wright and the others are necromancers who can't make iron, but they also know that iron smelting requires fuel, and there is not a single tree in the steel bone collar, how can they burn carbon?
"My king is wise, and he has found a stone that can be burned, and this stone is better for making iron than charcoal. Mobuck laughed.
"Stones, stones that can be burned?" Wright and the others looked at each other, this was beyond their comprehension, and the questioning suddenly could not continue.
But at this moment, something else attracted their attention, and the carriage had now turned onto a wide stone road, which could pass four carriages side by side, the surface was grayish-white, like a rock, but it was unusually smooth, and the carriage galloped on it, and there was not a trace of bumps.
"This ...... This...... This is the road you spent a month building?" Wright asked, looking at the stone road that stretched to the end of the horizon in a trembling tone, half of his body was about to get out of the window.
Wright had been to other countries before, but he had never seen such a wide and smooth stone path, even the royal road in front of the palace that was carefully leveled by the earth archmage was definitely not so smooth, and it was full of potholes after a long period of use.
The other necromancers also had hellish expressions on their faces, and if there was such a road, it would be so comfortable for them to come by carriage all the way.
Everyone's expressions greatly satisfied Mobuck's vanity, and he boasted in a low-key manner: "It's nothing, after all, we have a billion skeletons in the steel bone collar, and it's trivial to build a road." My king's meaning is to build three vertical and three horizontal roads in the steel bone collar, running through the entire territory, this road leads directly to the bone fort, which was named the bone avenue by our king. ”
A group of necromancers opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say, the steel bone collar is not a small place, there are thousands of kilometers from north to south, and eight or nine hundred kilometers from east to west, and six stone roads of thousands of kilometers must be built, even the most powerful empires on the continent dare not dream of this.
But on second thought, the King of Steelbones has a billion skeletons under his command, and it doesn't seem that it can't be done, when Mobuck first mentioned a billion skeletons, everyone thought he was bragging, but now, they really feel the weight of this number.
The carriage galloped along the Avenue of Bones, and five hours later, the Bone Fortress was in sight.
The Bone Fortress is on a hill, and there is a tower alone on a stone mountain of dozens of meters, which has nothing to do with the 'Castle', but when you enter it, you find that it is different, this is only the entrance to the Bone Fortress, and the larger area of the Bone Fortress is underground, or in other words, the entire stone mountain is part of the Bone Fortress.
A group of necromancers got out of the carriage with a sour body, but the shock in their hearts was incomprehensible, two hundred kilometers, five hours, and they were just sour and soft.
They set out from the Mage Tower, the distance was only two or three hundred kilometers, but they walked for eleven days, and even if they sat on the lifting chair, they felt like they were about to fall apart when they stopped every day.
The speed has increased by more than 20 times, and the effect of this stone road is fantastic, right? If the whole continent uses this kind of stone road, then you may fall in love with travel.
After everyone rested for a while, Mobuck stepped forward to greet him: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside, my king will be very happy with your arrival." ”
Everyone hurriedly followed, in fact, even if they were allowed to stay any longer, they wouldn't dare, because from the moment they got off the carriage, they felt that countless gloomy eyes fell on them, obviously the guard force of the Bone Fortress, if it wasn't for Mobuck with them, it is estimated that someone would have come out to cut them.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a long staircase leading to the ground, the stairs can not see the bottom at a glance, I don't know how deep, the walls on both sides seem to be decorated, randomly inlaid with some skulls or skeletons, but when everyone approached, the skull skull suddenly ignited a faint blue fire.
It's not a decoration at all, it's a skeleton guard.
It is worthy of the bone fortress, the guard is strong enough, all the way down the stairs, not only the walls on both sides, but even the steps are inlaid with skeletons, usually they sleep, when they encounter intruders, they are the sea of skeletons that wash away everything.
Wright and his party walked through a pile of bones in fear, and suddenly, a roar of the soul exploded in their hearts:
"No one came a year ago, no one came a month ago, and now no one comes, do you have the heart to invite?
"Not skilled? You are skilled in arresting people, right? Do I want people? I blow the horn of war, and I can turn the entire race of the continent into my slaves, but why do I want so many slaves? What I want is communication, it is fun, it is entertainment, and I can rely on you dozens of dead people to bring a bunch of slaves to relieve my boredom!?"
"You say that the steel bone collar is the resting place of death, remote and difficult to walk, well, I built the road, and you say that the steel bone collar has no products that the living need, and now I have refined the iron, but you have not even been able to invite half a person back, sleep and sleep every day, your king is suffocating, you just want to suffocate me and die together, right?"
