Chapter 1108: Change Direction
Several dwarf groups were wiped out at the same time, only a few survived, and the mood of the four underground gnomes was originally a little calmer, but when they saw the corpses of the clansmen all over the place again, they couldn't help crying.
Lu Kuan comforted a few people, and when the dwarfs' emotions stabilized, they came to the deepest part of the cave together.
"Lord Deer, the core of color resistance is here,"
Next to a cave with a diameter of only half a meter, the underground dwarf pointed to Lu Kuan: "The last time the two great technicians went in, but the mechanical structure inside is too complicated, and there are many traps, the great technician is not absolutely sure, and has been discussing safer methods, so he didn't take it." ”
The location of the cave is above a metal platform, and the numerical height here is at least thirty or forty meters higher than the city wall below, which should be a tower, and considering that the city as a whole is sloping, the actual height of the tower should be about fifty meters.
This is very consistent with Lu Kuan's impression of the structure of the Floating City, the central mage tower is both the residence of the Grand Arcanist and the location of the Chromamore Core, with the most rigorous defense measures.
If you rush into it, you will most likely trigger a deadly trap.
Lu Kuan lay down and looked inside, the cave was winding, there were faint metal reflections flickering in the depths, and some dismantled structural fragments were scattered on the ground.
"Professional work depends on professionals,"
Lu Kuan stood up and patted the dirt on his hands: "Control the neighborhood to ensure that no one sneaks into the hole, and when the two great technicians are well cultivated, we will go in and find out." ”
The miners of Rune City next to him immediately took the order.
Except for this place, the excavation work in other places was in full swing, and 24 hours later, the second group of craftsmen was also teleported, and in Rune City, except for the dwarves from the two mines, almost all the remaining craftsmen were transferred.
If it weren't for the fact that the city of piety was employing people, Lu Kuan would also plan to call the craftsmen there as well.
Lu Kuan wanted to use the fastest speed to excavate the ruins of this steel city and take away the valuable things inside as soon as possible.
You know, this floating city is equivalent to giving it for nothing!
What is Floating City? Thousands of years ago, the private city of the Great Arcanist, condensed the highest level of magic technology and constructs at that time, and was the brainchild of the group of people who stood at the top of the pyramid of the Continent of the Gods!
If, only if, there was some bit of magic technology in the Iron City, there was a lot of information or a golem that wasn't completely damaged...... It's so useful for Runetera that it can save years of development time in the game!
These top-level resources cannot be bought by money or exchanged by trade, and according to normal laws, a city's own technology and talent need to accumulate to a certain extent before it can have a chance to obtain.
Take the color-resistant core as an example, even if Lu Kuan can get one through a difficult task, what about its related supporting technologies? How exactly does it apply to the Floating City? It's not about bringing it back and letting the craftsmen study it day and night.
Also, if everyone's speculation about the Steel City is true, disaster suddenly befell the city and buried all the life in it, but it should also have saved a lot of things inside.
Therefore, Lu Kuan's expectations for this relic are very high.
Dig! Be sure to dig! How much labor is spent and how much money is used, you have to dig!
……
When the excavation site is in full swing, there is nothing to hide from the spirits that were originally hidden in the dark corners.
Most of them are underground creatures that have been corrupted by the Spirit Devouring Tailed Beast, all kinds of creatures, and there are also a small number of infected underground gnomes, the latter has not been controlled for a long time, and after being purified by the priest, they can quickly regain their senses, which makes the four underground gnomes very happy.
The appearance of these guys further confirmed Lu Kuan's previous suspicion: there were definitely other Soul Devouring Tailed Beasts alive, because this place was too far away from the Flame Walker's Great Cave, and it couldn't be that one.
And that guy has been pinched by Tauber, and the monsters here should at best just wander aimlessly, instead of disrupting the excavation work in an organized manner, as it is now.
After coming to this conclusion, Lu Kuan told Dan about the situation.
"Originally, for the eggs of the firefeather falcon, I had to find out who was behind the scenes,"
Lu Kuan smiled: "Just trouble the high priest, find out that guy first?" ”
"It's incumbent."
The orc bowed slightly, and then flicked his sleeves, and the man had already flown into the air, and the people around him cast curious glances, not knowing what amazing spell this mysterious high priest was going to cast.
But this was destined to disappoint the onlookers, because the detection mind had no special effect to speak of, and the detected target did not even feel the slightest feeling, and everyone only saw Dane make a few gestures in the air, chanting words, and it only took about half a minute to fall back to the ground.
The High Priest looked at Lu Kuan, and then pointed to a spire emerging from the rock in the distance: "Right there, twenty meters underground, it should be in a cage in the ruins, judging from the surrounding traces, those controlled underground gnomes have also been digging in that direction." ”
Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it a separate body?" Or is there possession? ”
"The space of the cage is small, and even if there is possession, the size is very limited." Dann said immediately.
Lu Kuan nodded, then it was not a big problem, and then raised his hand to call Xiao Wei to ask a few words.
Ten minutes later, all the miners digging near the minaret were evacuated and asked to retreat at least a hundred meters away, and then six huge golems rushed over from the front line.
These big man's tools are all specially made, and the power value of the golem is more than ten times greater than that of ordinary craftsmen, so the efficiency in some simple and crude work is amazing.
They were originally designed to play a role in the construction of the city of devotion, but they were brought here halfway to excavate the ruins.
Digging directly down must be the most laborious, so Lu Kuan called four underground gnomes, and after a brief discussion, he decided to start work in another cave below.
It was basically at the same level as the location where the Soul Eater was trapped, and if you dig horizontally, you can avoid most of the hard rocks, and no matter how hard the soil below is, it is much easier than chiseling.
Lu Kuan was naturally as good as a stream, leading everyone to the predetermined position, and with Will's order, the golems immediately set off.
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Wow~"
Six large men more than two meters tall, wielding huge shovels, pickaxes and chisel sticks, had dug a deep hole more than ten meters deep and more than two meters in diameter in less than ten minutes.
At this rate, it would take a maximum of forty minutes to reach the cage that Dane was talking about.
