Chapter 35: Goblin Dungeon (2)
The cyan stone walls covered the entire cave, and the ceiling of the cave was the same as the cave at the entrance where Tang Xin and the others had passed before, with a slow-fire light source with a bit of frosted glass, making the entire dungeon feel like daytime.
I don't know if they know what time it is, and didn't they have a night off mode when they designed it? It's so inhumane. Tang Xin complained silently.
On the wall next to the platform are two raised buttons that connect two slender rails made of wood and metal. This made Tang Xin feel like he saw the elevator button, Tang Xin leaned against the wall, looked down, and sure enough, there was a mechanical box similar to an elevator car near the ground, which was connected to the track on the wall.
"Let's go down." Tang Xin pressed the downward button, only to see the mechanical box close to the ground slowly rising along the track, and after a while, it connected with the platform, and the two walked up to the elevator, and the mechanical box creaked to the ground with the two of them.
**The smell comes from all directions, mixed with the smell of rancid food and the smell of different molds...... It's disgusting.
Tang Xin took out two gas masks from his backpack, handed one to Wen Er, and put them on himself, which made him feel better. Gas masks are a must-have for adventures, and you don't have to worry about disgusting dung heroes, wriggling maggots and all kinds of reptile corpses, as well as some lava pools, poison swamps, and obstacles...... These extreme environments.
The goblin streets are winding and paved with cyan stone slabs, with yellow and white traffic signs in the middle of the stone slabs, and there are two-way goblin tricycles or scooters that used to drive in an orderly manner, but now, these vehicles are parked in the middle of the stone roads, and the drivers seem to be in a hurry, and even the cars disappear before they have time to stop.
Along the streets of the city, there are also some steel and wooden tracks of wagons, which seem to have been abandoned for a long time, and some of the carriages on the tracks are parked in the middle of the tracks, loaded with goods and ores, some of which are spilled on the ground, and there is a feeling that they have stopped suddenly for some reason in the process of moving forward.
Most of the houses along the street have green roofs and brown and yellow masonry walls, and they are basically one-story bungalows, at most there is a raised attic space next to the masonry chimneys, and there are high-tech looking vegetable patches in front of the residential buildings, and every field is neatly organized, and large agricultural machinery is parked next to it.
Most of the buildings that look like shops, workshops, or research institutes are three-story high, with tall tin chimneys and gates large enough for the giants to pass through, making it easier to carry the large machinery used by the goblins to make their feet.
There are also many exposed pipes on the streets, and there are small goblin street lamps at intervals, and the whole city is like a modern mechanized industrial city, worthy of being built by the goblins who have the highest technology, very real and grand.
But now, the small city-state feels shrouded in shadows, without the shrill voices of ugly goblins with pointed ears, nor the sounds of all kinds of strange machines, but just some mechanical dogs and mechanical rats running on the ground from time to time...... This is a mechanical creature designed by goblins to patrol.
"Let's go, let's take a look around, if there are any clues, those mechanical patrolmen are passively aggressive, be careful not to show hostility, and don't try to attack the patrolmen or take the goblins' belongings." Tang Xin reminded and took the lead in pushing open the door of a house on the side of the road.
The layout of the house is relatively rough, but it is also warm, the bungalow is very high, the area is also very large, there is a feeling of transparency, there are rotten fruits and bread on the table, and most of the food in the kitchen cupboard has become fungal food, except for some pickled bacon and pickles, which feel that it can be edible, and other things are estimated to be put for a month or two. Tang Xin took out a pair of rubber gloves very professionally, put them on for herself, glanced at the second son of Wen next to her, turned her head again, and said in her heart, I'm sorry, she only brought a pair, not your share. Then entered the bedroom of the dwelling, there is no dust in the bedroom, which is also one of the benefits of the dungeon, that is, it is not affected by the wind, the dust will not run to the house inexplicably, and the dungeon of the goblin, all kinds of industrial buildings are lined up, and there are many targeted environmental protection purification facilities, representing the highest level of science and technology goblins have never been stingy to spend their energy on these machinery.
The bedroom had a large wooden bed, the size of a human double bed, and the bed was messily covered with quilts and some tanned animal skins, and some fluffy furs that looked very comfortable.
There was also a large desk in the bedroom, as well as two worn-out wooden chests, which were opened, oh, the goblin couple's clothes...... Tang Xin sat on the stool and searched for clues on the desk.
The first thing I found was a diary, which was the most typical clue, Tang Xin opened it and saw that the goblin couple was the aborigines of the small town, the husband was a businessman, and the wife worked in the workshop and was proficient in engineering. This is a very typical profession of goblins, and the life profession of ordinary NPC goblins either takes the scientific research route or the commercial route, and the combat profession can choose warriors, mages, priests, and thieves...... But few ordinary goblins stand out in battle, often only for self-preservation.
The diary is written in common characters, Tang Xin can roughly understand it, but all the records in it are trivial matters, gossip messages between neighbors, and no particularly important information, Tang Xin turned directly to the last page of the diary.
I saw that it read: "...... The elders' idea is really crazy, really crazy, if it fails, the consequences are unimaginable, should we consider going to the earthly world to avoid the limelight first, otherwise...... It's horrible. ”
Yo, it looks like this wife really knows something! Tang Xin turned the diary back to the previous page.
"It's so strange that Mary from the next door sent two bags of potatoes today, did she do something sorry for me? Wolf didn't come home the night before, shouldn't he ......"
Eh, is this suspicious of the husband**? Shouldn't the drama be so wide, is there no information about the elders, crazy ideas, or anything? Tang Xin continued to turn the first few pages, but it was all a trivial matter among parents, it seemed that only the information on the last page was valid information, and the previous ones were useless.
After leaving this house, the two of them separately explored several nearby dwellings and some smaller workshops, and got some fragmented clues, which could be roughly seen from these fragments, and it could be roughly seen that the elder of this goblin city-state seemed to be carrying out some crazy plan, but what was this plan, and where was the danger and horror, these residents were silent, and did not leave any useful information.
Then the hidden information should be in these large workshops and research institutes in front of them, Tang Xin and Wen Er Gongzi first entered the largest and most luxurious workshop in the entire goblin dungeon located next to the central bell tower.
Upon entering the workshop, the shelves on both sides are filled with various small machines, including goblin mining helmets, rocket launchers, rocket boots, sappers**, large bombs, mortars, and larger ones**...... Basically, you can name any engineering products that can be found on the shelves, and there are also Goblin unique technological products.
Entering the workshop at the back through the door next to the counter, it was as empty as every other room and every street, and it seemed that the people inside had fled in a hurry while they were making some kind of device, and the tools and parts were scattered all over the place, all of which were relatively high-grade parts, and it seemed that the goblin here was a master of high engineering rank.
As soon as Tang Xin wanted to pick up a mirror sight on the ground, she found that the head of a mechanical owl on the wall slowly turned in her direction, she had no doubt that when she touched the scope, the owl's eyes might shoot something like a laser, shooting her through, Tang Xin shook his head, and had to give up this action. Goblins! What a race crazy for money!
Although the workshop is luxurious, there are no new clues, and it seems that this is just a commercial workshop, and it may be a supply source for some large goblin merchants, but it should not be involved in any secret plans.
Then there is only one research institute left on the other side of the bell tower, where all the secrets will be revealed.
The institute is the tallest building after the clock tower, with a height of 4 or 5 floors, and the entrance gate is also metal, and there are some colorful patterns on the pillars.
The first picture is of a smiling female goblin, not very old, with long, pointy green ears, smiling very brightly, with her name written underneath the photograph, Renee; The second chapter photograph is of a male goblin with a strangely combed tuft of hair on his head, who also looks young and whose name is Daniel; The last one is a somewhat neutral-looking female goblin, about forty years old, with a very trendy bobo hairstyle, and her name is Hera.
There is their own introduction next to each photo, looking at the introduction, they should be the three elders of the goblin city-state, and they are also the leaders of the goblin research institute, they each control a department, Renee is in charge of the weapons research and development department, Daniel is the ** deployment department, and Hera is in charge of the transportation and economic machinery departments in addition to weapons and **.
These three people are the founders of the Goblin Research Institute, and they are also the elders of this session, and the leader of the goblin clan is usually the head of the chaebol of his clan, that is to say, who is doing well in business, who has strong skills in cheating, and whose engineering is the most explosive...... He is the leader of the goblins. But the relationship between the council elders and the chief is somewhat like that of a constitutional monarchy, such as the United Kingdom, where the royal family is only a symbol and represents the country's diplomatic image, and it is the parliament and the prime minister who really decide the big and small affairs in the country.
The elders of the goblin clan are equivalent to fulfilling the duties of parliament and prime minister, and can determine the policies of the rise and fall of the entire race.
Based on the various clues found in the dwellings before, there is no doubt that the elders must have decided on some dangerous project, and even the goblin engineers, who are known for their madness and love of explosions, find something terrifying. Could this be the reason why this goblin dungeon is now a dead city?
