After swimming with the mermaid patriarch for a long time, I realized that we had been diving, and according to the time of the dive, it is estimated that we are now at least 300 meters deep, which is really strange, why is there no water pressure here!
I was about to ask the mermaid patriarch in front of me why he hadn't arrived yet, when I suddenly noticed that the originally dim seabed began to light up gradually, and the brighter it got! Soon a huge underwater city appeared in front of me, and the huge city shone with a little light, and the sea water was illuminated by these things.
Watching the beautiful unknown fish swimming around and the lots of blue jellyfish floating around, I really felt like I was in a beautiful fantasy.
"Isn't it beautiful?" The mermaid patriarch suddenly turned around and asked.
"Huh? Kindness! It's beautiful! "I was blown away by the sight around me, why such a beautiful place is at the bottom of the sea!
"But this beautiful place will soon be gone!" The mermaid patriarch said sadly.
"Why? Why did such a beautiful place disappear? I asked the mermaid patriarch in surprise.
"Because its source of vitality is about to run out!"
"Power? It's not electricity, is it? "I thought to myself, Dad, their company is too spoofed, and there will be a city that uses electricity!
The mermaid patriarch looked at me strangely. "Electricity? Do you mean lightning? What's that for? Can electricity also be used? â
Fortunately, the mermaid patriarch doesn't understand electricity, which means that this place is not powered by electricity, and it is estimated that they use other energy sources! Come to think of it, Dad wouldn't let anything too modern appear in the wizarding world here, and it would be nice to have an early use of gunpowder or steam power!
"Then what are you saying about running out of energy?"
"It's the central power here that has a problem, and if you can't find anything to replace it, it's going to stop completely!"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you clearly, you can take me to see it! Maybe I can help you! â
"Okay!" The mermaid patriarch was the first to swim towards the city below.
As I got closer, I realized that this was not a city but a city cluster, with thirteen hemispherical vaults supporting the pressure of the sea, each of which protected a city. I followed the mermaid patriarch to a dome in the middle.
Slowly approaching the bottom of the sea, a light blue door appeared in front of us, the reason why we know that it is a door, because its color is different from the surroundings, the dome is completely transparent, and this door is blue!
The mermaid patriarch walked straight to the door and walked through it, and I followed. I couldn't help but reach out and try it, and my arm passed through it without any obstruction, and it was dry inside, and there was no seawater!
"Come in!" The mermaid patriarch walked around for a while and turned to find that I hadn't followed, still studying the gate, and she came over and pulled me in. "I want to study, and when you solve our problem, I'll send you one, so that you can study enough!"
"Oh!" I followed her like a bun, and I was curious about everything. The buildings here have sleek extensions, and all the roadsides have poles like street lamps erected there, and each pole is topped with a huge white crystal, and the soft light you see from the outside at first must be emitted by these crystals! The buildings along the way are almost all pale yellow walls and pale blue gates, how beautiful it looks!
What surprised me the most was the people I saw along the way, almost all of them were young people, and I didn't see any old people, but I saw a lot of children! And the people here are either handsome guys or beautiful girls, I have become an ordinary person when I walk here, if ordinary people estimate that they should commit suicide in shame, of course, not including the big pot of rice!
"It's here!" I was moving to look around when the mermaid patriarch suddenly stopped. "This is the main power tower of Atlantis!"
I immediately stopped, and there was indeed a tower in front of me, so it looked at least 300 meters above. The top of the tower is connected to the huge Qiong Dome, and it is this energy Qiong Dome that supports the sea water from pouring into the city, but I can tell with the naked eye that the energy Dome is constantly flickering, and from time to time it makes some strange sounds.
"Come in!" The mermaid patriarch pulled me into the tower, and the four guards on both sides did not say anything because of the mermaid patriarch with him.
Entering the tower, I immediately noticed the thing in the middle, because the whole tower was empty except for it. It's a strange thing, how to put it, it's a lot like an electric fork. There is a hole in a one-meter-high square base in which a huge well is being built. Above is a large dark black cylinder, about 1 meter in diameter and over 5 meters in height. It was surrounded by eight fluorescent tube-like glowing rods floating around it, and at this time, these eight glowing rods were spinning at a very slow speed, as if they could stop at any moment!
"That's the crux of the matter?" I asked.
"Yes!" The mermaid patriarch said helplessly: "This is the magic barrier generator of Atlantis, relying on it to support these 13 cities. It provides us with security, daily lighting, oxygen extraction and food supply! But now it's about to dry up, and once it stops working, our city will be exposed to the sea, but our mermaid toddlers can't adapt to life in the water, and the little mermaids under the age of 10 can't use their gills, and if the top collapses, our offspring will drown, and the race will be wiped out! From now on, Atlantis will no longer exist zĂ i! â
"Then why did it stop? Hasn't it been working very well for so many years? â
The mermaid patriarch pointed to the large white crystal on the pedestal, which lay beneath the black cylinder. "That's why. This magic crystal has run out of energy, and the original purple magic crystal is about to turn completely white! The crystal's work is already very shaky these days, it's always flashing, and at the same time, our qiongqiong dome is also starting to flicker, and they are on the verge of collapse! â
"So how can I help you?"
"Yes! Just give us your magic crystals, and we'll be saved! "The mermaid patriarch is almost crawling on top of me, and her eager eyes make it impossible for me to refuse her!
"I'd love to help you, but I don't!"
"Who said that?" The mermaid patriarch looked at me firmly. "I can feel that there is a large magic crystal on your ship, which is why we are hijacking your ship!"
"On my ship?" I dragged my chin and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think that there would be a magic crystal. "Can you tell me the exact location? I can't remember! â
"I don't know exactly where it is, but it should be near the bow and it seems to be on deck."
"The bow deck? Could it be the one inside the magic crystal cannon? It can't be such a coincidence, right? â
"I don't know! It's around there anyway! "The mermaid patriarch began to use the mermaid trick on me." Lend it to me! I'll promise you whatever you want! Is it good? â
I'm dizzy! This little mermaid isn't going to play the ** deal with me! That's not going to work! "Keep your distance!" I pushed her away. "That's not necessary, do you have anything good to exchange?"
"Swap?" The mermaid patriarch was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect me to make such a request.
While she was thinking hard, another person came in from outside, "Ayana! Who is he? "It's a male mermaid who asks him, and he's wearing full armor and holding a trident in his hand, which looks like a head!
"Atlantis the Great!" The mermaid patriarch suddenly knelt down on one knee at the guy. "This is a friend I brought in from outside, he has the mana crystals we need, but he needs something to exchange!"
"Oh? Do you have a magic crystal? "This Atlantis the Great is looking at me with a twinkle in his eyes." Do you really have it? â
"I don't know! There should be, but it doesn't seem to be as big as yours! "I'm afraid the trumpet is useless.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Atlantis the Great said excitedly. "Size is not a problem, just have it, even if it is small, it can solve the urgent need, right? But of course bigger is better, how big is yours? â
I compared it with my hand. "It's that big, about a tenth the size of your piece!"
"So big? Great, it's that big enough to last another ten or eight years! Hahahaha! Laughing, he stopped abruptly. By the way, you want us to buy it, right? â
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Yes, although I am sympathetic to your situation, my thing did not fall from the sky, and I need it too. If you want to give it to you, you have to give it a favor! "Is this the nature of a businessman? Hey!
"This ......!" The Emperor of Atlantis thought about it for a moment, and then discussed it with the mermaid patriarch named Ayana and said, "Follow me!" â
He led us out, and after turning N corners in the street, we finally came to a place that resembled a warehouse, which was guarded by two guards, and Atlantis the Great commanded the guards to push open the gate and let us in.
The warehouse has a large area and a lot of things, but everything is covered with black canvas-like things, which is probably rust-proof, after all, this is the bottom of the sea, and there should be no dust! Atlantis led me to the middle of the warehouse and said, "This is a property we can barter, you can pick something here." â
"I'll take a look first!" Since everything was placed in partitions and covered with cloth, I casually walked over to an area and lifted a canvas. What appeared in front of me made me stunned for a moment. "Motorcycle?" What I saw was clearly a motorcycle, but on closer inspection, it was not right, it was not a motorcycle. This is...... Tandem jet ski! These wheelless things have a very beautiful streamlined shape, and there are seats that can be ridden, except that the shape is more like a fish, this is clearly a tandem motorboat! "How do you have this?"
Atlantis the Great said helplessly: "This is our previous naval mount, but ......" He beckoned, Ayana on the other side came over and pulled out a crystal pendant from his chest. She slipped the crystal from the pendant into a groove in front of the seat of the jet ski, and the jet ski squirted out a lot of water, and then began to hum and stop moving.
As soon as Ayana pulled the crystal out, the thing stopped. "See? This is powered by magic crystals, and we don't even have enough energy to support Qiongding, how can these things move! â
"Oh! I can understand that! "I went to another area and opened the canvas, and this time I saw a lot of long strips, with strange shapes, and it felt like an upright stick." What is it? â
Atlantis the Great picked up a part and put it up in front of him, and Ayana picked up one of them. Ayana then found a small groove in the object, and put her own magic crystal into the groove. A blue translucent film of light suddenly appeared between the two symmetrical vertical sticks.
I now know what this is, the gate I saw at the gate of the city just now, which can separate the sea water without affecting the entry and exit of people.
Atlantis the Great explained, "This was originally a magic shield, but as you can see, these are powered by magic crystals, so we really can't use these things!" â
"So what's over here?" I walked to another area. "It's not all your weapons, is it?"
"Not really!" Atlantis the Great came over and unveiled the canvas himself. What came out of the canvas was gold, and it was a whole piece of gold, the size of a red brick. (Note that the real gold brick is actually only the size of a mahjong piece) "These are the rags that were left behind after the sinking of ships at sea." Since we don't have a place to put it, we collect it and dissolve it into this shape for easy storage, don't you have a lot of creatures on the ground? Why is it that every time a shipwreck falls, it pollutes our environment everywhere! â
"Don't you want this?" I asked, pointing to the gold bricks.
"Does this thing work?" The Atlantis the Great asked strangely: "This thing can't be eaten, and it's so soft that it can't be used to make weapons, and the most important thing is that this thing is very heavy and very difficult to carry!" People on our side generally use it to build houses, and you can see that the outside of our houses is pasted with this thing, because the biggest advantage of this thing is that it will not rust! â
"What? Are your houses made of gold bricks? "I said, why are the houses here all golden on the outside! What a luxury! I suddenly remembered. "By the way, your streets here are also yellow, so they can't be paved with this thing, right?"
"yes? Do? Atlantis looked as a matter of course, "What else can this thing do except lay the bottom and stick to the wall?" Besides, this thing is so wear-resistant and not rusty, how good do you say! â
"You have a lot of this?"
"Yes!" Ayana replied. "The reason for this is that the regular yellow brick (mermaids' name for the big gold brick) warehouse can't fit it, so we put the excess here! There are actually quite a few of them outside, but because the warehouse is completely full, they haven't been shipped back! In order to store these things, we are very nervous, the fish in the sea hate these things, so in order to protect the normal life of the fish to ensure that our food will not go wrong, we are still collecting these things even though we can't put them down, these days we are so busy for the matter of magic crystals, as a result, we don't have time to deal with these things! We're all filling up with this garbage! â
I drooled as I looked at Atlantis the Great. "Well, can you send someone to help me get this thing back to my ship? I decided I wanted this! â
"What? You want this garbage? Both Atlantis the Great and Ayana asked in surprise.
I nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, I want this garbage, you help me transport it, I want as much as you give!"
Atlantis the Great said: "If you want me to give it all to you, I'm afraid that your ship won't be enough to fit!" This thing is so heavy that a boat can't pull much! â
"It's okay, you can just help me carry it, it's a big deal that I'll run a few more times."
"And what about our crystals?" Atlantis the Great asked anxiously.
"Give, definitely give. You have someone help me move these 'bricks' back, and I'll bring them back the crystals when they come back!" â
"Good!" Atlantis the Great took my hand and shook it. "Thank you so much for motivating us and helping us clear the garbage!"
"Hahahaha! Happy working together! We both laughed.
What Emperor Atlantis thought to himself was: "This idiot, he gave us such a large piece of magic crystal for nothing and helped us carry a large amount of garbage away." â
What I thought to myself was: "This idiot, a magic crystal deceived a boatload of gold, go back and exchange the gold for diamond coins, and then go to the second brother Domingue to buy a bunch of magic crystals with him!" Wha! "When you think of it, you do it. I hurriedly pulled the Atlantis Emperor and said: "Although my magic crystal can solve the urgent need, but it is still not a long-term solution, I can help you find a lot of magic crystals back, although I may not be able to find the same big one as you, but the smaller ones can get a few more, right?" â
"Can you find many?" Atlantis the Great asked excitedly. "Then you must help us! We want as much as you want! The more the merrier! â
"This ......! I'm nothing! But I didn't drive my boat alone! You see, I have to feed so many sailors, and I have a vote of brothers, so I have to work hard! So...... You see...... This ......"
The Emperor of Atlantis, of course, knew that I was asking for favor, and he immediately began to cry poor. "Hero, let's just order something like this, take it if you want to see it, I don't have anything else!"
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't want much, first of all, I want 200 pieces of that fish-like thing." â
"Okay! I'll give you 300! "Atlantis the Great thought that I would be embarrassed to ask for anything else that was worthless.
"Okay, I want 300. Second, I want 1,000 magic shields. â
"Okay!" Atlantis the Great was secretly happy there. "This fool picks useless things, it's just right to move away, we can't use them in the first place, and he will save space when he moves away!" Of course, he would not say these words in his heart.
"The last one, that big brick, can I pull a few more boats?"
"Okay, I'll use your outfit to fill you with 10 boats!"
"Good!" We smiled evilly again and shook hands.
After that, we began to split up, starting with the start of transporting gold bricks. I originally wanted to use the space wrist wheel in my hand to take more away, but unfortunately these gold bricks are not considered equipment items and can't be put in! I had no choice but to move it piece by piece. Fortunately, there is a certain amount of buoyancy in the water, which is not as heavy as in the air, otherwise this kind of gold brick with such a big head will not be lifted by ordinary people!
The Emperor of Atlantis sent out almost all the men of the city, and they helped me carry two bricks for each man. The little dragon girl was also summoned by me, and she could move dozens of dollars at a time.
Ayana led us to quickly find the Biling, but only one battleship, the Biling, was floating quietly on the sea, and the other ships were all gone! I saw Rose from afar and they were lying around the bow of the boat, shouting my name, as if they were looking for my traces. I summoned Xiaofeng and threw it into the sky, and with her, the surroundings lit up immediately.
"Over there!" Bingbing was the first to spot me, and then everyone saw me.
I swam to the side of the boat and climbed onto the deck, where Rose rushed over and hugged me tightly. Her voice was choked with crying: "Where did you go?" Dislike! Why not contact us? â
I laughed and rubbed her hair and said to the eagle. "Eagle, we have a shipment to ship, gather all the sailors to the hole in the stern."
"The entrance to the cave?" The eagle looked at me and said, "I was about to tell you this!" â
"What's wrong? Isn't there something wrong with the Biling? â
"Not really, it's just ......!"
