Chapter 174: Floating Island Palace
The entire Floating Island has a large underground space, and many traces of civilization have been found in the dusty buildings of the Floating Island these days.
Some metal puppets found on the Warren Plains have also been discovered, but they have decayed over time and can be damaged by the slightest touch.
The only item in the interior of the floating island that is not corrupted, other than the blue crystal that resembles the center of the floating island, is the gold coin that Ora has found.
After all these days of hard work, Aura eventually found a lot of gold coins in a building, all of the same kind with a woman's head on it.
There are quite a few of them, about one-third of the treasure trove of the Temple of Rafal.
Sistemm did not skimp and gave all these useless gold coins to the money-hungry butterfly.
Butterfly was not polite, and accepted the gold coins and concentrated them in two large stone rooms, often finding her good friend Sava to swim and play in the sea of gold coins.
……
Thinking of the butterfly, Systham shook his head helplessly, and grabbed the snail and walked to the circular hall in the center of the floating island.
The diameter of the hall is about 60 meters, the top of the arc-shaped hall is 20 meters high, and the lowest wall on the four sides is also 10 meters high.
The whole hall is designed to be very atmospheric, with dozens of gray stone pillars carved with patterns, and a throne made of blue crystal.
Judging by the size of the throne, it should be used by creatures with human shapes.
According to Ei's induction of this crystal throne, the crystal seat is a magic item and should be the control center of this floating island, but now the floating island has no energy and cannot be activated.
Obviously, this Crystal Throne should be the seat of the former owner of the Floating Island.
If it weren't for the fact that many of the metal ornaments in this hall had decayed, and some unknown fabrics had turned to ashes upon contact, this hall might have been much more elaborate than Rafal's temple.
Fortunately, the gray stone from which the floating island was built was strong and durable, and it stood the test of time without any damage, otherwise Sisstem would have been nothing but ruins.
……
At this time, in the main hall, nearly two hundred worker ant knights and big worker ants were busy, cleaning up and moving the decaying debris in the main hall to the utility room next to the main hall.
In the utility room, there is a magical-rank giant slime that Systm found in recent days.
Giant slimes are about the same size as Tyrant slimes, some are larger, but their combat power is much worse, usually between 20 and 30.
They do not have the same thinking abilities as the Tyrant Slime, and their behavior patterns are not significantly different from those of small ordinary slimes, except that they are more corrosive and eat more types.
This kind of magic-level giant slime, Sistemm can still be easily controlled.
After discovering that his slime friends would not corrode the gray slates, the giant slimes were tasked with cleaning up the garbage by Heathm, a scavenger of nature and an old friend of Systham.
After all, it's too far for the ants to carry this rotting garbage up to a kilometer above the ground.
With the help of giant slimes with better digestion than ordinary slimes, the work of the ants has been lightened a lot.
And these selfless slimes will also provide food for the ants after eating the garbage, killing two birds with one stone.
……
Under Blake's command, in addition to cleaning up the garbage, the ants also transported magic candles to decorate the main hall, and after a few busy days, the original messy hall has been much cleaner.
In fact, Sistum's heart doesn't particularly value the organization of the main hall, and what this hall becomes will not have any impact on Sisstem.
Sistum is now so attached to this hall, and a large part of it is for the lizardmen who are controlled by snails.
After some time, the tribal leader of the lizardmen, who had been brainwashed by snails, was brought to this hall.
At that point, Systm will brainwash the Lizardfolk patriarch again.
Therefore, this hall must be organized as neatly as possible, and it is best to have a certain momentum to make the lizard people fearful.
As long as he can brainstorm the lizardmen again, they won't be out of his grasp, even if Snail Jace doesn't exist.
Of course, in order to be able to control more lizardmen in the Monet swamp, this snail with illusion abilities is not undecided to kill immediately.
Systham did this just in case, to prevent the lizardman from getting out of his grip after the snail died.
In front of the lizardmen, the snail gives himself the identity of the apostle of the god of death, the soul reaper.
Syst also decided to continue the snail's routine, naming himself the Death Agent, whose duty was to manage soul reapers, such as the snail.
However, sitting on the crystal throne and looking at the empty hall, Sistrem always felt as if something was missing, and the hall still seemed a little empty.
Perhaps by that time he could have thirty Soldier Ant Knights standing on either side of the throne.
However, the Ant Rider is still too short, only about half a meter tall, and if he appears in front of a lizardman who is nearly two meters tall, it is likely to have the opposite effect, making the lizardmen who come to him despise him.
"What do you want to put in it?" Syst muttered to himself unconsciously.
The snail on the side seemed to see what Syst was thinking, and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, you can control the slime and let the magical-rank slime stay near your throne, so that those stupid lizardmen will definitely bow to your feet." ”
Heatham turned his head to look at the snail under him, and said, "That's a good way, I'm really reluctant to eat you......"
With Sistum's intimidation, Snail Jace could only laugh back with an awkward smile.
After all this time, the snail with superior intelligence has discovered that Systm treats himself differently from those ants.
Heatham seemed to trust the ants with great trust, but was wary of himself.
Even though he has tried his best to play his role and serve Systran wholeheartedly, Systm still doesn't trust him.
The snail is also very helpless about this.
At the end of the day, although Snail Jace discovered that Syst had another way of communicating with ants and bugs, he didn't know that Heatham could sense bugs' emotions.
So the snail didn't know that it was precisely because of this mind-reading ability that Systm would trust the ants like this.
And if Systm could sense the snail's emotions, then it is very likely that this snail harboring evil intentions would have been eliminated by Heatham a long time ago.
Actually, the snail is actually quite lucky.
While it didn't make System let his guard down, it didn't make Systm determined to kill him.
……
Staying on the Crystal Throne, Systran uses the ability to compile images in the [Tools Menu] to try to change the position of the giant slime in an attempt to make the slime more powerful.
It was also in the process of Sistrom using [Tools Menu] and conducting research that a vague shadow appeared next to Sistum, which was the shadow.
It turned out that the excavator had made new progress in the excavation of the floating island......
