The core of the molten fire that restored order seemed quite noisy, and apart from the deafening roar of the lava-filled furnaces, the people here had gradually formed a mature society. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Using the capabilities they inherited from GAMECENTER, each of them has a wide variety of products in their hands.

Electrical, sword, and shield can be produced using underground minerals, and RPG items such as magic books and magic balls are also on the market, not to mention "rare" products such as sweets and snacks. They exchanged their "products" and various information, discussing the current situation in the new world. In such adversity, there was no atmosphere of "despair", and it has to be said that Xiao Jue's management of this "molten core" was quite successful.

Xiao Jue led them through the bustling underground city, deep into the depths of the molten core. After rounding the two curves, the rooms on the stone walls on the left and right sides have changed greatly in terms of number and use. This is no longer a "dwelling", but a warehouse of strategic materials where a lot of food, water, and weapons are stored.

There are a number of uniformed "soldiers" waiting in front of the doors of these rooms in case anyone else comes to steal supplies. In the center at the end of the road was a special bungalow made of stone and brick, and in front of the door hung a simple little sign that read "Command Room".

The command room was brightly lit, and several soldiers were busy drawing maps on their desks, marking points one after another on the map with a simple ruler made of wooden blocks.

"How's it going, guys, is the mapping going well?"

Xiao Jue led the way into the command room, and those soldiers immediately stood up and saluted, ranging in age from their teens to their thirties, tall, short, fat and thin. BUT IN TERMS OF DISCIPLINE AND SERIOUSNESS, THEY SEEM TO BE A REAL ARMY, ALMOST FORGETTING THAT THEY ARE JUST GAMECENTER PLAYERS.

One of them, an uncle who was nearly thirty years old and had a bearded face replied to Xiao Jue: "Report to the king, the information obtained before has been drawn, but the information that Da Jue had when he went out in the afternoon has not been drawn. The most important topographic maps are placed here. The uncle pointed to the large long table in front of them, on which was covered with a map nearly two meters wide. Geological maps, water source maps, angel distribution maps, and so on are hung on the walls. ”

The uncle pointed to the walls of the adobe houses that had been leaking around him, and on which five or six maps were hung. There is a look, not much different from a real army command post.

Xiao Jue nodded with satisfaction and said to them, "Okay, thank you." Now can you get out of here and let me talk to Lin Ao, the king of the strategic zone, and them alone? ”

"This ......" The few people in the room stared at each other, and the corners of their eyes unconsciously looked at the Angel River High Elves on Lin Ao's side.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xiao Jue walked over and patted them on the shoulders one by one. "Let's go get some rest."

"Hey, okay. Then we went. The uncle replied and left the command room with the rest of the people.

In the command room, as the "invaders", Lin Ao and their side had six people, and there was only one person on the side of the molten core humans. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Jue's side is out of disadvantage, but he still sent all his subordinates, leaving him and Lin Ao to sit down around the topographic map.

"Well, now no one can stand in our way."

Xiao Jue points to the map on the desktop. The map is hand-drawn, and it is a map of the forest area that originally belonged to Lin Ao, and now belongs to the forest area under the jurisdiction of Lucifer. The map looks a little old, but it's still very well drawn. Forests are green, rivers are blue, and some of the wilderness without vegetation is brown, and different vegetation densities and different areas are represented by different shades.

What a professional map......

"We're in this position right now." Xiao Jue pointed to the densest forest on the map and said to Lin Ao. "After a whole day of observation, angels tend to fly in the air and are not very fond of coming here due to visibility problems. Occasionally, we don't see so deep into the forest, so we're relatively safe here. ”

"Yes!" Ling raised his hand and said like a schoolboy answering a question. "I don't even have a sense of space on the ground that there's such a big space underground!"

As she spoke, her hands spread out, she drew a large circle in mid-air. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it: "With your words, I am more at ease." But our most important problem is water, and although there are rivers, streams, dew, and so on in the forest, we are more than three kilometers away from the nearest water source that can be used on a large scale. Once we are now exposed to the surface on a large scale, even for ten minutes, it is extremely dangerous. ”

"Massive?" Lin Ao asked rhetorically. "Sending a small number of people there shouldn't be so easy to expose, right?"

Xiao Jue immediately vetoed: "Impossible, don't look at us for leisure like this, the water source we need every day is very tight." If it weren't for the underground water source of this ocean clan, I'm afraid our people here would have died long ago. ”

"Then you can't steal by robbing!" Anna over there was unhappy, "That's our holy place, the water sources in it are pure and sacred, how can they be defiled by you!" ”

"We don't know." Xiao Jue shrugged, "If we don't have water, all the humans here will die in less than three days." You're going to tell us to stop fetching water first, and then we'll negotiate with you slowly? How is this possible? ”

"Three days?" Anna was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Jue's answer, and turned her head to check with Lin Ao. "Will you die if you don't drink water for three days?"

"Pretty much. Wouldn't you oceans be like that? ”

"How is that possible?" Anna smirked, a little embarrassed on her face. "Once we get the magic power, it's okay to drink a little water for half a month to a month. Don't you know? Magic is connected to our souls, and when it is enhanced, our bodies are enhanced. Besides...... I had forgotten about my infant years long before I had acquired my magic...... Hahaha. ”

Lin Ao saw that things were taking a turn for the better, and immediately asked Anna: "So, can you understand the suffering of the human side?" ”

"I guess I know, my dear husband."

“…… Nobody is your husband. ”

Anna straightened up and said, "The problem is, I can understand your difficulties, and you must understand ours as well!" The Sanctuary is not defiled, it's a tradition we've always had! ”

Lin Ao waved his hand and asked her to calm down first: "So I've always wanted to ask you." What exactly do you mean by Sanctuary? If it's the Blue Whale King's sea area, the water there is so sacrosanct? ”

"Our entire ocean clan is actually divided into several clans, among which the merfolk clan to which I belong generally has powerful magical powers, and as the king of the entire clan, and even the entire ocean, they guard our territory from being violated. My father is Poseidon, the god of the sea, who has been guarding our marine world for more than 10,000 years. And I, as the youngest of my father's more than 130 descendants, was actually the weakest individual in magic. I can't help it, I'm not interested in magic, anything like that. ”

"What does this have to do with the Sanctuary......

"The relationship is that the Blue Whale King and their clan are the most magically purified clan, and they have always made it their mission to heal our entire clan. Among them, the water source in the holy domain is not only pure, but also because of the existence of the Blue Whale King, it has become a holy pool, as long as our clansmen enter it, they can be healed by the water source there, and they can also enhance their physique in a small amount. Therefore, we will not tolerate you stealing our holy water! ”

"I see...... Lin Ao nodded, and also understood the root cause of the war between the two sides. Listening to your words made me even more convinced that this was just a misunderstanding. ”

"Huh? Misunderstand? "Huh? Misunderstand? ”

Xiao Jue and Anna exclaimed at the same time, and the two races were obviously fighting. After a big battle, the two sides suffered losses from each other, and they were incompatible, and now they were actually misunderstood by this guy who stayed out of the matter?

Lin Ao couldn't help but laugh when he saw their fuss, he first said to Xiao Jue, "You just need clean water to drink, right?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Jue nodded resolutely.

Lin Ao asked Anna again, "You just want to protect the Holy Domain, right?" ”

"Yes." Anna nodded.

"Then I'll ask you first, Xiao Jue. Why did you choose that body of water? ”

"Because it's close! Look here! Xiao Jue pointed to another underground map on the wall, "We're in the center of the map right now, and only a few hundred meters to the right is what they call the Sanctuary. The left and lower sides are basically ore layers, and the upper side is encased in an inherent barrier that we can't get into. ”

"So that's a blind spot." Lin Ao said, "Actually, the inherent barrier that you think you can't pass through is also set up by the Ocean Clan, and it also has abundant water sources. Since the inherent barrier only covers a portion of their sanctuary, you can easily reach the edge of the sanctuary to fetch water. So create the illusion that you can only get water from the Sanctuary. ”

"And Anna." Lin Ao turned to the mermaid princess, "Do you think that this group of humans is rather pitiful, and some of them are injured, so you think that the water source they said needs to be 'clean' is the holy water in your holy realm?" Do you think they need to heal their wounds and regain their strength? ”

"Uh...... Isn't it? ”

"Of course not!" Xiao Jue refused, his face was relieved, "As long as we can drink water, we won't drink the sick!" ”

"Huh? You guys...... So the requirements are so low?! It doesn't matter if it's for you. ”

In the face of Anna's irresponsible words, Lin Ao was almost crazy: "Hey, haven't you been to live in the human world?" What is clean you don't know yet? ”

"Ah...... Haha, I forgot about it all at once. Anna tapped her head with her hand, looking like a female high school student pretending to be stupid.

"Oh my God...... Lin Ao took a deep breath, "It's really a terrible negotiation." Why don't you leave it at that, you two make an agreement, Anna, you let the Blue Whale King remove his inherent barrier, and then the Ocean Clan will deliver water to humans on a regular basis every day. The reward for human beings as a water source is to reconnoiter the enemy on the ground, and also convey the information to the ocean people, and both sides avoid the detection of angels at the same time. ”

"Of course!" "Okay, everyone's okay!" Xiao Jue and Anna let go of their suspicions and smiled at each other with relief.

On the contrary, Eve was unhappy again: "Lin Ao, you are a servant of the spirit, why do you always help other races!" ”

Lin Ao's face also darkened: "Because my wish and that of the spirit are all races equal." ”

"Then it's completely equal, isn't it unequal if you've been helping other races weaken the power of angels?!"

"It's okay, Eve." Spirit held the kitten in both hands and gently touched its head. "I think Lin Ao did a good job. People don't want to be servants, and there's no need to force them to go, right? ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing," Spirit immediately tried to change the subject, "Didn't you just say you wanted to see human 'magic'?" Why don't we go on now? ”

Xiao Jue listened to Ling's words, and for some reason he was a little energetic: "That's right! There are many inventions and creations of our human beings that you angels have never seen, so why don't I call my cousin to take you to visit our camp! ”

Xiao Jue said, winking at Lin Ao: "I still have some things to talk about with Lin Ao, there's no problem for you to go first, right?" If you can, try not to be hostile to us, okay? ”

Although Lin Ao didn't know what Xiao Jue wanted to say to him, he also followed his words and said, "It's okay, the nameless knight on our side is also a pure human being, and he won't do anything." You take a look around, and I'll look for you later. ”

"Okay......" The crowd replied and began to leave their seats and walk out of the command room.
