Chapter 1393: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (9)
The huge pyramid is made entirely of glass, or some kind of transparent material with glass panes, and the whole pyramid is crystal clear, and the light in it faintly shines through the countless transparent walls of the building, which are the source of the sparkling light beneath the ground.
"Hmph. Gwen walked over and knocked on the wall. The elevator they were riding in was also surrounded on all sides by a glass wall to prevent riders from falling into the ground tens of thousands of yards underground.
There should be no other light source in the underground except for the inverted pyramid, but the underground is actually a whole glass world, the surrounding crystalline glass walls and floors have high light transmittance and high reflectivity, their irregular crystalline surface reflects the starry light emitted by the inverted glass pyramid, from Bediville's side, the entire underground glass world is like a starry sky, although it cannot be said to be brilliant, but gorgeous enough to take people's breath away!
Bediwell gasped. Judging from the scene in front of him, where the underground research institute of the Muhammad merchant group is located, the werewolf youth already has eyebrows.
This is actually the underground glass sea of the Sahara Desert. At least the tip of it.
Seeing all this, Bediwell couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't that bad?
"What do you mean?" said Duke Gwen's face changed.
Bediwell then briefly explained what had happened to him in the past few days, including being attacked by the Desert Sharks and the fact that the Desert Sharks were able to sneak in solid (glass).
After hearing this, Gwen, the Knight of the Round Table, turned even worse: "This is indeed not good. "
Originally, in order to protect against the desert sharks in the Sahara Desert, each city close to the coast of the African Sand Sea had its own protective net, which was usually composed of a layer of steel walls deep into the underground structure, a powerful protective shield, and an automated mechanical turret system. Desert Sharks who dare to approach the city will first be blasted into pulp by the turrets, then they will be blocked by protective shields, and finally, even if all means of protection fail, the heavy steel walls used for the bottom can keep a lone or two Desert Sharks out of the city.
After all, it would not be a joke to let this ferocious beast break into the city and devour the citizens wantonly.
"However," the Knight of the Round Table subconsciously stroked his beard, "the scenery here is an underground glass sea, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it is connected to the real underground glass sea. Maybe somewhere there is an iron wall separating this underground cavern from the sea of glass? "
"I hope so. Beddiwell replied casually, but he knew in his heart that things would not be so good.
Things that go wrong always go wrong.
At the same time, the elevator is basically to the end. In front of Beddivi and the others was a long glass corridor that led to the inverted pyramid. They had the opportunity to break into the enemy's stronghold, but Bediwell began to get worried. Because the huge glass pyramid was not as easy to penetrate as they thought, its walls, ceilings, and floors were all transparent.
Although, from this distance, everything was not so transparent, and their movements were not easy to detect, but when they got closer, the werewolf looked closely and found that he could see through at least three walls. If they break into the enemy's research institute like this, they will definitely be in a gang right away. And none of them wanted to cause conflict until they found Elaine. Once the security of the research institute is strengthened, most of the passages will be blocked, and it will be much more troublesome to find people!
"I guess we have to go according to the original plan. Bediwell grabbed the burlap bag: "You have carried me in." "
"I have a bad premonition, my friend. As Solal watched as Bediwell got into the burlap bag, he couldn't help but whisper, "They'll think you're a new captive and send you for experiments like this." "
"At that time, it's up to you to stall for time. Bediwell said, "With the mighty Lord Gwen, you can always do something, right?"
Gwen, the Knight of the Round Table, snorted and didn't respond. He lifted the front half of the sack, and when Solal lifted the back half of the sack, the two of them walked forward together, step by step through the glass corridor of the camp, towards the upside-down glass pyramid.
Because he didn't have to walk on his own, and because he was idle, Bediwell had to look at his surroundings through the small slit in the burlap bag. The depths of the underground are almost dull, and the only thing that glows is the huge glass pyramid, and the light it emits diffuses everywhere in the highly transparent underground, making this glass world shine brightly.
This wonderful underground glass world is certainly not artificially excavated. It should be said that the people of the Muhammad Merchant Order are not capable or necessary to do so. So they used the natural underground glass caverns here to build the research institute? No one with a bit of a brain would use glass as a building material to make that weird and impractical inverted glass pyramid. This pyramid, like this glass cave, is probably the same as this one, originally here, and has existed for thousands of years, and is an ancient ruin.
And the people of the Muhammad Merchant Order only occasionally found this place, took it for themselves, and used the facilities and equipment that already existed here to do evil research. It all seems too convenient. It was as if they had known about the existence of this relic for a long time.
"What else have you found out about this Muhammad caravan?" asked Gwen in a low voice as Bediwell, who was hiding in a burlap bag, before he got close to the pyramid.
"On the surface, they are a merchant organization whose main trading objects are jewelry, food, and clothing," replied the Duke of Gwen, indifferently, "It was founded in 498 A.D., and it has only been less than thirty years since its establishment. However, the merchant group grew so fast that they could influence most of Africa, and even had branches in several European countries. "
"More powerful than the Sphinx?"
"When it comes to liquidity and net worth, the two should be on par. But the Mohammed Merchant Group also has a large number of real estate, stocks, and branches around the world. All of this is taken into account, and the Muhammad merchant community is probably richer than the Sphinx trading house. In fact, the two merchant groups have been competing in business for many years, each trying to swallow the other's industry for itself, but neither can outright outright the other. There was even a strange agreement between them, usually low-key preparations, only on November 11 every year, the fiercest commercial duel. On that day, the two gangs were full of tricks, raising prices in various ways, shorting the stock market, liquidating and selling, and using vicious commercial competition to try to bring down their opponents. They compete so fiercely that they often turn Africa's economy upside down. "
Gwen paused and continued: "Fortunately, their rivalry has not yet involved too much in Europe. There are still many powerful business giants in Europe who are presiding over the overall situation, and they will not be affected by these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. "
"That's weird. Bediwell snorted in a low voice: "Since the Sphinx is entrenched in Cairo and is the richest man in Egypt, he should also hate this Muhammad caravan, right? Then why would he allow this Muhammad caravan to do anything in the underground of Cairo? The warehouse on the ground is also one of the Sphinx's property, right? Not only did he allow the Muhammad caravan to do anything wrong on his own territory, but he even lent his property to this merchandiser who was hostile to him."
"Because there is no right or wrong for businessmen, and they don't pay attention to the quality of the business partner. Gwen smiled disapplausively and said, "For businessmen, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies. As long as you can make money from the other person, it's good. I guess the Sphinx didn't know what was happening under Cairo. He simply rented the warehouse to the Muhammad merchant group at a high price to make a profit. "
"Perhaps. Bedwell tried to believe Duke Gwen's words, but he always felt that the Sphinx could not completely dissociate himself from the matter. The Sphinx and the Muhammad Merchant Group may seem like business rivals, but what are they?
However, their discussions did not lead to anything, and the sack carried by Gwen and Solal reached the entrance to the pyramid. Since this is an inverted pyramid, its entrance is actually a small square room on the top of the pyramid spire.
There was no one to guard it, which was a cheap point for Bediville. Gwen and Solal carried Bediville into the small room, and immediately felt the floor move. That's right, it's a lift. It was responsible for transporting the workers to a certain floor in the center of the pyramid, where the workers carrying burlap bags must have delivered the kidnappers to the staff of the institute before leaving through another passage.
Isn't that terrible? Bediwell sighed in his heart. If the sack was delivered, Bedivel would have fallen into the hands of another group of men, and would not be able to act with Gwen and Solar. At critical moments, he can indeed try to use time magic to get out of trouble. But he was actually more worried about the combination of Soral and Gwen, because the two seemed to be at odds.
But now it can only be one step at a time. Maybe Bedivir would be lucky and immediately sent to the kidnapping center, and it wouldn't take much to find Elaine?
The elevator slowed down and eventually stopped at the center of the glass pyramid.
"Don't be struggling, come here and unload the goods. A familiar voice rang in Bedigville's ears.
