Chapter 238: The Journey of Peak Loops

When people go to the funeral ceremony, they usually gather around the coffin to look at the remains, which is a way to say goodbye to the deceased.

Gradually regaining consciousness from the noisy haze, Luo Zhengdao slowly opened his eyes, and the crowd around him immediately reminded him of the previous ritual. Immediately, Luo Zhengdao sat up with his arms supporting his body very unhappily, and said with annoyance:

"What are you doing around me? Disperse! ”

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, you have finally woken up! Miss Vena, Your Highness, he's awake. ”

Dispersed the crowd of onlookers and glanced at the surrounding scenery, Luo Zhengdao realized that he was lying on a luxurious stretcher, he stroked his forehead with his hand and felt his nose sour for a while, and wiped it with his hand, and sure enough, it was a dazzling red. Secretly glad that he woke up at the right time, if a group of people were allowed to watch the scene of his bleeding, he would be suspected of being terminally ill and make a mess. Panting and looking at the two attendant officers left, Luo Zhengdao said in a low voice:

"Did anyone else see me have a nosebleed?"

"No, Your Highness. Miss Vina only allows her attendants and doctors to come near you. ”

At this time, Vina Dubov had already received the news and rushed over, and when she saw Luo Zhengdao's displeased expression, she immediately understood what it meant, and she waved her hand to signal the two attendants to retreat. Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help coughing a few times and said:

"I think it's necessary to order them to stop talking about my health issues."

It's not that the half-elf beauty doesn't know that when the curse occurs, she should avoid everyone's eyes and ears, but this time Luo Zhengdao fell in a public environment, and Vina Dubov couldn't resist the others asking to visit the Earl, to explain the inside story of this matter would obviously make things more complicated, so it was better not to say anything.

Hearing this, Vina Dubov nodded and said:

"Okay, I promise there won't be any news leaking out."

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao re-examined his behavior and felt that Shicai's attitude was rude, so he softened down at this time and said:

"Well, you don't have to be nervous, I mean don't let too many people know, and you don't want to kill people."

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's deliberate joke, Vina Dubov also smiled in return, but this relaxed mood didn't last long, Luo Zhengdao followed up and said:

"How long have I been in a coma"

"Three days and three nights."

Hearing the answer, Luo Zhengdao's face was not very good, although the symptoms of the Aragami curse this time were not strict, but it was better than the last time when the skin of the whole body burst open, and it looked much milder than being cut by a thousand knives, however, the time of the coma began to lengthen. If this continues, will he one day pass out during the curse and never wake up again? Luo Zhengdao pondered this question carefully, and it was really scary, basically the same as a terminally ill patient pinching his fingers to calculate how long he had to live, it was nothing more than a sad thing to count the more he calculated. Soon, he left these worries behind, and since he couldn't solve the curse of the desolate god, he could only hold on, was there any other way?

"Don't you have any doubts?"

The half-elf beauty smiled, deliberately comforting Luo Zhengdao, and said in a slightly exaggerated tone with gestures:

"His Royal Highness the Regent's body sometimes ...... It's a well-known thing. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but laugh and bent down, shook his head and said:

"Hey, you're talking like I'm going to die right now."

After a burst of laughter, Luo Zhengdao put on the coat that was originally covering his body, he looked at the rock walls around him and said:

"Why haven't we gone out after all this time?"

"The team suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Whispering Orb, you are unconscious again, the dwarven guide is also injured and unconscious, we seem to have taken the wrong path, we should be very close to the surface now, but unfortunately we have not found a way out."

All right! Luo Zhengdao shrugged his shoulders, the current situation is more bad news for him, and I hope that it will be better than this. Subsequently, Luo Zhengdao summed up the bad mood with a long lament like an aria, and said:

"How far are we from the surface?"

Vina Dubov pulled out a magical artifact from her bosom, and in a magical world, anything unscientific was taken for granted, including measuring the distance from the underground rock formations to the surface. She looked at the readings of the hands with the help of the bright light of the illuminating crystal, and said:

"Based on the analysis of the concentration of mana particles, we are about two hundred yards above the ground in an optimistic way."

"Only two hundred yards? Can you be sure? ”

Looking at the half-elf beauty with a calm demeanor with a suspicious expression, Luo Zhengdao asked in disbelief, Vena reached out and stroked his cheek, and said with a smile:

"Calculated in terms of vertical height, of course."

The fragile heart was hit hard again, and Luo Zhengdao sighed and said in a mournful tone:

"Oh, I knew it was going to be like this, it sucks......"

Self-pity and self-pity can't resolve the crisis, Luo Zhengdao, who has never liked to rely on external forces, turned his mind back on track, gently rubbed his still sore nose and said:

"What's the safest and quickest way to get out of here? Vina, what are your thoughts? ”

The half-elf beauty answered this question with a helpless look, and seeing this, Luo Zhengdao also fell silent, pondered for a while, and said:

"Alright, beckon the boatswain and the others in, I have an immature idea."

It is said that the mentally ill has a wide range of ideas, and the width of the traverser Luo Zhengdao's thinking is definitely not narrow, and in front of the group of men who are worried about it, he raised his arms and shouted with the passionate feelings of a revolutionary leader:

"Guys, we're going to build ships!"

"Shipbuilding?"

Luo Zhengdao, who was opened in his mind, said that he was stupid in one sentence, and the general perception of the people present at this time was stunned, followed by madness, you build a hairy boat in the underground world! Enjoying the pleasure of this intellectual crushing that everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober, Luo Zhengdao maintained a confident posture and said:

"That's right, you heard me right, I'm talking about shipbuilding. Do you hear the sound of running water outside? Where will this underground river flow? ”

Looking at Luo Zhengdao, who was deliberately selling off, the boatswain who was familiar with this land said nothing with a dark face, and Vina Dubov said tentatively:

"Of course the river flows into the sea...... Will, you mean ......"

Seeing that all his subordinates remained silent, throwing out the suspense and almost not being suffocated to the tragic end, Luo Zhengdao secretly pinched a cold sweat, these guys are too uncooperative, and they can't joke with them next time. It's one thing to think in your heart, Luo Zhengdao always puts the right thing first, raised his voice and said:

"Correct! We build a boat that can sail in an underground river and follow the water to the surface world. ”

"Wait a minute!"

Zola Hegel interrupted someone's tirades without mercy and asked rhetorically:

"Tell me, how can a ship sail in an underground river?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's smile revealed a hint of elusive weirdness, and said:

"Then it depends on whether my method can be used or not, I want to build a submarine!"

The difficulty coefficient of using his mouth to come up with ideas and doing practical work is as big as the gap between the rich and the poor in the old world Celestial Empire, and Luo Zhengdao's plan to build a submarine is very bullish, but no one present except himself has a concept of a ship that can sail underwater, so in the end, Luo Zhengdao has to settle it himself, which may be called digging a pit and burying it himself!

Being trapped in the underground world is a bad thing, Luo Zhengdao, who often encounters such unfortunate things, is used to the bad years, he takes out materials from storage equipment such as convenience bags and space bags, and it is still possible to piece together a submarine, but don't expect how exquisite the workmanship is, and it will be guaranteed to be watertight in a short period of time.

"Yes, the technical points of building a submarine are similar to those of a hoop barrel, the key is not to leave a gap in permeability, especially when it is under pressure underwater, a small problem will become a catastrophe. Hey, you move lightly, the boat I brought is not for you to practice. ”

Walking on the makeshift shipyard, Luo Zhengdao explained the technical details of the submarine to the pirates, and he didn't want to wait for the water to find out about the quality problems.

Having learned the painful lessons and successful experiences of previous escapes, even if this trip is expected to be a peaceful visit and there will be no fighting, Luo Zhengdao still stuffed a lot of supplies such as ship materials and sail ropes into the space equipment, which can be regarded as a good habit that he gradually developed in the precarious life of being hunted and killed! For a person who is accustomed to fleeing, you can never know when you encounter what kind of dangerous situation, so every time Luo Zhengdao goes out, he has a sense of crisis to bring all the necessities with him in case of accidents. To put it bluntly, if Luo Zhengdao is thrown alone in a no-man's land, as long as he is not bored to death, he can survive until the day he is killed by the curse of the Aragami by relying on the massive reserves he carries with him.

The boatswain was not bad at accepting new things, but the problem was that he was now entrusted with his life on a so-called diving ship that had not been tested in practice, Zola Hegel said that there was a lot of psychological pressure. Out of both rational and emotional concerns, the boatswain found Luo Zhengdao and asked him for answers, saying:

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, are you sure we can leave the underworld with this strange ship?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao immediately understood what Zola Hegel was worried about, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Of course, Zola. There is no need to ask me why I have faith, I will be on this boat later, and I will die in danger, isn't this the greatest confidence? ”

Helping each other in the same boat is naturally one heart, this reason is very strong and sufficient, even if Luo Zhengdao does not cherish the lives of others, he should always have a serious and responsible attitude towards his own life! Hearing such an oath, the boatswain no longer objected, and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, after all, their lives were no more valuable than His Royal Highness the Regent!

The materials were semi-finished products, and the amount of work required for fine processing in the later stage was not large, and by the time the caulking putty and twine hardened in the air, the submarine was declared complete.

After checking twice from the inside to the outside to make sure that the submarine was in good condition, Luo Zhengdao said loudly:

"All personnel are ready to board the ship, discard all items except weapons, ammunition, food, and water, and immediately carry out the order."
