Chapter 17 Earthquakes
Essamdo, the most important port city in the Tianfeng Continent, has been repaired and rebuilt on a city-wide scale three times in history, the most famous of which is the only sea monster siege event on record two thousand three hundred years ago.
It was the most violent storm ever recorded in history, with waves as low as seven or eight hundred meters and thousands of meters high, and many port cities also falling apart in the face of the storm's aftermath.
But this time the anger of the Thousand Waves Sea did not seem to be satisfied, and in the last month when the storm was about to end, the waves subsided slightly, but the monsters attacked the city. At that time, it was recorded that all the harbor cities that were still alive in the three continents were all attacked, and the most serious of them was the Essamdo of the Heavenly Wind.
It was at that time that Baxia was known to the world, because it was the one who took the lead.
After the monsters attacked the city, more than half of Isaac was destroyed, and it took the elves a full three hundred years to rebuild.
Today's Isamdo is strictly based on the original Isamdor. In order to prevent another sea monster attack incident, the elves changed the terrain of the entire Aizamdo Bay by two diamond-level powerhouses and a large group of earth soul cultivators of various levels, and raised the foundation of the original Isamdo by two hundred meters, and then rebuilt the new Isamdo.
Today's new Isamudor is actually built on a mountain cliff plateau, and that cliff high ground is actually the transformation of the old Isaamdor. The original designers did not treat the old Isamdo as a complete foundation, but through a clever design, it became a complex and efficient underground drainage system, and all the pipe networks of the entire drainage system were combined into a huge defensive rune array.
Although this defensive rune array has not been used for nearly two thousand years since it was designed and constructed, Isamdo still conducts inspections every three years to ensure that the entire drainage system and defensive rune array are still useful.
However, in places that the elves could not have imagined, deeper into the underground drainage system that they check every three years, there is another "world".
The master who designed the new Samudor was already very old at the time, and five hundred years after the reconstruction of the new Samudo, died, and with his death, a very special and seemingly unimportant drawing disappeared. Although the elves have sent people to look for them, but after more than a hundred years, there is no result, and it will be gone.
This drawing is the underground drainage system of the old Isamdo.
As a seaport city, you can imagine how much trouble it will cause if the drainage system is not effective. The elves are all for art and beauty, and it is absolutely impossible for them to live in a place where there is rancid water everywhere, and when it rains, the city and the outside of the city are full of sea.
So even the old Essamdo actually has a fairly complete underground drainage system. All that master did more than 2,000 years ago was to build a new drainage system on top of the new foundation, and cleverly turn it into a defensive rune array. However, the original drainage system was not completely filled, because the amount of work was too large, and the elves who were in a hurry to get Isamdo back couldn't wait.
The master left behind a drawing detailing the original drainage system, including some changes that had been made after the master had backfilled part of it as the foundation stone. This was left by the master for future generations to slowly refill the entire old drainage system.
But the master didn't have a chance during his lifetime, and after his death, the drawings disappeared mysteriously, some people speculated that the master himself burned the drawings, in short, the elves searched for more than a hundred years, and couldn't find any clues, and finally gave up.
It was because of this negligence, which was not an innegligent negligence, that finally determined the end of the new Isamdo two thousand years later.
Boom! Knock knock knock......
Sha Yunyue looked at the bottles and cans on the table with some confusion, they suddenly began to vibrate, and it seemed that the vibration was getting bigger and bigger, because there were various experimental bottles lined up on the table, and now these bottles were almost forming a noisy group of "music".
"What's going on?" Sarandor has been watching Sha Yunyue for the past few days, although she doesn't understand pharmacology, she is quite interested in Sha Yunyue's research. This is an important experiment to fight evil spirits, cure mania, and even reduce the chance of Savia's conversion.
If Tang Dou hadn't insisted on not letting Sha Yunyue live in the City Lord's Mansion, Sarandor would definitely invite Sha Yunyue to the City Lord's Mansion, and then send heavy troops to fence off the laboratory on the inside and outside of the three floors.
In addition to Sha Yunyue, Lothar also sent some of Isamdo's healers to follow Sha Yunyue before, and the healers who were not convinced by "Tulasha Yasandro" at first were all convinced after watching Sha Yunyue cure a manic patient.
At least before Sha Yunyue, none of them could do that.
Now everyone looked at Sha Yunyue with a puzzled expression.
"It can't be that Xiangru is being naughty again, right?" The location where everyone is is on the second floor, and the little Lori almost dismantled a load-bearing pillar when she was playing downstairs before, which almost caused a similar effect, which made Sarandor a little doubt that it was the little Lori who was sometimes well-behaved and sometimes a bear child had entered a state of rampage again.
"No, Xiangru should be taking a nap at this time, her routine is very punctual!" Sha Yunyue shook her head in denial for the first time.
The shaking continued, it had reached a point where everyone felt the shaking was obvious, and then it stayed at this point, all the time.
"Let's go out first, there must be something wrong, I'm afraid it's not safe to stay on the second floor!" Sha Yunyue thought about it and immediately made a decision.
There are almost no earthquakes in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, and even if there are, they are deep sea areas, or extremely sparsely populated places. Therefore, more than 99.9 percent of the people in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm have never known what an earthquake is in their entire lives. But there were two people present who knew.
One is Sha Yunyue and the other is Sarando.
They didn't experience it themselves, but after Tang Dou returned to the workshop with the special task force, he told what he encountered at that time, so he casually talked about the first signs of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The two girls were at the scene at the time, so they naturally remembered.
Although both women thought that such a situation could not occur in Isamdo, the two women still chose to be cautious.
Now is the time when Isaamdo's defense is at its lowest. Not only was the lord of the city gone, but neither was the city's most elite First Army. In addition, because of mania, many residents are afraid to go out, and if something happens at this time, it will definitely make the whole city into a pot of churning soup.
As if to prove the guess of the two women, everyone had just gone downstairs, and suddenly a peak shook and appeared, and the ground was like a semi-solidified quicksand rippling, up and down several times, and cracks appeared on the second floor of the Yunge Hotel on the spot, although it had not collapsed yet, but it went directly to the direction of the dangerous house.
Not only that, but the fence around the hotel, which was more ornamental than practical, was torn apart by the violent earthquake.
The soft girl rushed out deliberately with the scared little Lori.,Xiao Haruko followed closely behind.,Xiao Chunzi has been inseparable from Xiao Lori these days.。
"What's going on?" The crowd was terrified and dazed.
"The ground moves, how can there be ground movement. This must be what Brother Tang said, but why did Isamudo move the ground? Sha Yunyue could tell that there was an earthquake, but she didn't know why.
"What do we do now?" Sarandor asked.
"Go, go...... Brother Tang said that in this case, we should go, go to ......! Sha Yunyue recalled the method of earthquake self-rescue that Tang Dou told him at the beginning, but after all, it was just a kind of idle talk at the time, even Tang Dou himself didn't think that Sha Yunyue would encounter an earthquake, so Sha Yunyue's brain was a little messy. Although she is a princess, she has never been a superior. Let her treat the patient, she is a master, let her in such a situation, tell everyone how to evacuate, she is a little panicked.
"Turasha! Calm down, calm down! Sarandor saw Sha Yunyue's panic, grabbed the other party's shoulder, and shook it vigorously: "Nicholas must have told you what to do at this time, he will tell you everything, and every time he will say it in special detail." Don't be nervous, you can definitely do it. Just think about it! ”
Thundered!
It was another high-frequency seismic wave, and this time the two-story building of Yunge Hotel was completely unwanted. And there are also collapsed buildings around, although the elves' buildings are not tofu scum projects, but they have never had an earthquake crisis, where do they know what earthquake-proof design? This is also due to the fact that Eshamdo is a semi-militarized fortress, and if it were a normal city, it would be completely destroyed in these two blows.
If Tang Dou was here, he could see at a glance that this earthquake was abnormal. Definitely not a natural earthquake. Because natural earthquakes do not have this kind of gasping, after a peak seismic wave explosion, it will continue for a period of time, and it will continue to rise in magnitude, and when it stops, the main shock ends, and then there is a period of calm, and then there is an aftershock.
But at the moment Essamdo is more like an open vibrator, always maintaining a low-frequency vibration that can be directly felt, and then suddenly there is a convulsion, and there is a peak and valley, and then just for a moment, and immediately the main becomes low-frequency again.
This is definitely not a normal earthquake.
But where did everyone know this, and the whole of Isamdo knew that the current situation was called an earthquake, and it might not add up to it and count it on one hand.
Sarando's words made Sha Yunyue finally calm down, although it was not comprehensive, but he still recalled some of Tang Dou's words: "Everyone go to an open place, there are no tall buildings around." Soon, you can't stay near the building anymore. If the ground continues to move, all these houses will collapse! ”
There are three kinds of people in the Yunge Hotel, one is Sha Yunyue's family, that is, Soft Girl, Little Lori, Lin Xiao, and Little Chunzi. One is a healer who conducts research together, and the last one is Sarando's personal soldiers.
Needless to say, the first type was naturally impressed by Sha Yunyue's medical skills, and most of the third type had been treated by Sha Yunyue after the Battle of Kinunu City, so Sha Yunyue could be said to be quite prestigious among everyone, and as soon as she shouted, everyone immediately took action.
The soldiers formed a wartime breakthrough array to protect Sha Yunyue and the others and the doctors, they stayed here, naturally knew how important the work of Sha Yunyue and the doctors was, they had already prepared, even if they died, they could not let these people have any losses. This is the future of elves.
And the doctors are stubbornly clinging to all kinds of research records one by one, and a few greedy ones still grabbed the bottles and cans in their hands and said that they would not let go, and then they were simply resisted by the powerful warriors and ran away with people and things.
Not long after everyone left the Yunge Hotel, the third high-frequency vibration appeared, and the frightened residents could already be seen fleeing on the street, they were at a loss, but they saw Sha Yunyue and a large group of them running towards the harbor, so they unconsciously followed.
Then the team got bigger and bigger, and in just a few minutes, Sha Yunyue and the others were followed by almost a few thousand people.
After exchanging a few words with Sha Yunyue, Sarandor raised her breath, and the strength of the ninth level of gold made her voice drown out the noise caused by the entire crowd and vibrations: "Everyone, pay attention, I am the Vera family, Sarandor Vera, the former commander of the Ninth Legion, now everyone stay calm and follow us to the port square, where we will be very safe." No one should be crowded, no pushing, and everyone around them should help anyone in need. Don't forget that those are your people! ”
No matter what the outside world thinks of the elves, no matter how dark the history of the elves is, there is one thing that no one can object, the elves are the most united race among the three races. They are not without infighting, but for the most part, they are unusually united.
Following Sha Yunyue, their long ears quickly calmed down under Sarando's reminder, and they began to entertain Sarando's orders efficiently, helping everyone in need, the team was no longer chaotic, no longer noisy, everyone was silent, in silence, with the quality of a soldier to deal with the shadow of disaster that enveloped them.
Such a situation is absolutely not seen in humans and demon races. Only the elves can see it. Elves are not all soldiers, but they are all soldiers. A human general once said sourly that this is because the life span of elves is very long, and the first three hundred years have basically been in basic education, even if it is a pig, it has quality.
But whether this is the case or not, at least the quality of the elves is so high that humans and demons are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
With discipline, there is naturally efficiency, from more than 100 people at the beginning, then thousands of people, followed by tens of thousands of people, and when they arrived at the port square, Sarandor roughly counted (as a leading leader, you can know the approximate number of people at a glance, this is a basic skill), almost 20,000 people followed them to the square.
This man is nothing to the whole of Isamudo, but there are at least 20,000 people.
Just as he was thinking this, a new high-frequency vibration appeared, this time, far more violent than the previous ones, even the elves, who were all adults and silver, fell down because of their unsteady standing.
The ground seemed to be torn apart by countless pairs of invisible hands, and the ripples turned into waves, and the waves tore the earth apart.
Cracks, disintegration, groans of pain in the earth.
"Oh my God, look, what's that!" (To be continued.) )
