Chapter 1211: Labyrinth Treasure
After changing the water, the team did not stop and continued to move forward.
After dark, the team stopped and set up camp, and the two of them were a little tired from the card, and the lower line guard was even temporarily transferred, and they were too tired to do it, but they still set aside a turtle man to keep vigil.
And I directly built a simple stone house and lived in it.
Actually, if we had a better relationship and were less wary of each other, I wouldn't mind building a temporary swimming pool for them to spend the night, but they were still wary of me.
At dinner, they were invited to taste the delicacies of the land, but they only tasted them.
After nightfall, Priest Bona pulled out something that resembled a magic orb and used it for lighting.
That is, the pearl of the night.
The real night pearl, the light emitted does not belong to the ether, it belongs to phosphorescence, and after absorbing enough light during the day, it will glow at night, and the earthlings have even invented similar paints. Of course, there is another type that does not require external energy to emit light, and that is radiation...... But it's something we rarely see, and we haven't tried to use the aether to protect against radiation.
The one in Priestess Bona's hand contained a small amount of ether, presumably injected by herself, but in principle it was no different from receiving sunlight.
Moreover, the light of this night pearl is far from that of the magic light bead.
"On the road to invention, there are always some transitional products that will be phased out, unless these transitional products are derived from a new branch." "What we have to do is to invent the final product directly, but we also have to make the transitional product out as a collection and exhibit, and maybe people who come after us will be inspired," Leo said. ”
Early the next morning, we walked along the slopes towards the main peak of the mountain.
Normally, it only takes us a short flight for three days, which is more troublesome than entering the swamp in the first place.
Finally, at noon on the third day, we arrived at the ruins of the floating island.
"Originally, the entrance to the maze was here, but because it was suppressed, I had to climb to the top and go down through the passage above." Maderudin explained.
Because the floating island is a slightly flattened cone with a relatively flat top, the summit is not pointed, but flat.
"The original peak should have been bigger than that." I looked at the approaching summit and said.
"Yes, the edges of the floating island have collapsed a lot since the fall, and there are even some plants from the land," Madrudin said, pointing to the sparsely growing weeds on the roadside, "but only these vitality survived. ”
"You don't think you've been here, have you?" I asked.
"I've heard of it," said Maderudin, "and I saw you collecting plants from the swamps, and I knew that you were a curious man. ”
"Thank you," I said, "and it's hard for you to remember." ”
"I'm not ungrateful." Maderudin said.
The closer Priest Bona got to the top of the mountain, the less he spoke.
Towards evening, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain and camped on the top of the remains of the floating island of nearly 20,000 square meters.
There was no trace of any man-made structures on it, and even the flat ground looked like a natural flat land, and if it weren't for the fact that there were several holes leading to the ground, and there were broken steps inside, there would be no guessing that this was a floating island made of artificial and magical things.
Almost all of these passages are blocked, but for me, finding the most likely passage into the mountain is not a problem at all.
Still, I asked Madrudin about them.
"It is said that in the completely unobstructed passage, someone inserted an iron rod made of alchemy, and the iron rod is not afraid of the corrosion of wind and rain, so it should be no problem to find it." Maderudin replied truthfully.
The task of finding the marker was given to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
I didn't build a stone house, but found a flat ground to spread out the cover, and slept directly in the open air.
The two of them were very surprised by what I was doing, and I didn't explain much.
At night, it rained lightly on the top of the mountain, and I casually propped up a protective cover, watching them enjoy the moisture of the rain in the glimmer of the night pearl, and I couldn't bear to remind - the condensation of rain requires attachment, whether it is Xiaoice crystals or dust particles, it is not a clean thing, and the water made with ether is not clean at all.
However, I also know that in the era when microscopy and microbial knowledge were not widely available, people generally thought that rain and dew were pure and immaculate.
Seeing them welcome the rain and dew at such a high place, of course, there is a little bit of mutual affection, I shouldn't bother.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked for a few holes that might be passages, but they didn't find any alchemy iron rod markers, so I simply told them to rest and look for them tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped, and the sky was full of stars.
"It's completely different from Earth." Leo said.
"Our astronomy is progressing too slowly." I looked at the star field where the earth god system and the human god system were located, imagining what it would be like inside, "The main thing is that the research of the gods should be synchronized. ”
"The books collected by Yi Dison have astrology in them, but they all say that the elves are better at this, and it seems that after brushing the dragon realm, you have to go to the elves." Leo said.
"Aren't you going to the humans?" I say.
"All go, all go," said Leo, "if you learn the art of transfiguration, you can turn into a human or an elf, and you have to study it in depth on both sides." ”
"Speaking of which, there are a lot of records about the transformation of dragons on the human side, and no one has recorded the principle, which is really outrageous." I say.
"Even if we had, we wouldn't be able to meet them," Leo said, "but I'm sure that when we learn how to transfigulate in the dragon realm, and then sneak into the human side, we'll definitely run into someone or a book that has mastered transfiguration." ”
"Might as well go straight to the human side," I said, "and wouldn't it be easy for me to become an animal and blend in?" ”
"Haha, the point is not this, it's that you can't get in before you master it, don't think it's good to become an animal," Leo said, "This is a logical paradox in the plot, just like you lock the key in the house, if you want to open the door, you have to have a key, and if you want to get the key, you have to open the door first, and there are only two ways to break this logical paradox cycle, one is to find another spare key, and the other is to break the door violently, the problem is, we don't have the strength to break the door violently, the only thing we can do is to go to the dragon world to find the spare key." ”
"This also shows that there is indeed a designer behind the plot." I couldn't help but nod my head secretly.
"Also," Leo said, "according to the game theory, it is difficult to obtain the latest equipment or props in the new version, but with the update of the version, the best in the previous version will become a big commodity in the next version, and everyone has it." ”
"It's a strange feeling." I said, "By the way, you see, the constellation next to the Earth God System is called the Key Constellation, which is the master key to open the treasure and the guardian constellation of the thief class. ”
"Speaking of which, I also studied horoscopes when I was a freshman and sophomore, just to pick up girls." Leo said.
"Astrology on Earth shouldn't be effective, right?" I say.
"Hehe, the diamond is just a bunch of carbon crystals, and it can still be sold for a high price!" Leo smiled, "Don't forget, the price is determined according to people's needs and scarcity, there is no essential difference between the constellation theory and the traditional feudal superstition, but as long as you use it well, you can still achieve the purpose you want." ”
"I see, it's called doing what you like," I said, "and cajoling women who believe in the horoscope doctrine is the same principle that diamonds sell for a high price." ”
"Well, there's no need to be so blunt." Leo said.
By this time, Madrudin and Priest Bona had fallen asleep in the tank, and one of them was leaning on one side, but the end of the tail under the water was inadvertently entwined......
"Alas, let's two old bachelors talk about this here, isn't it embarrassing?" Leo sighed.
"You're the one with a harem." I reminded him.
"Nonsense, and children!" Leo lamented, "You say, in all the places you have seen, whose harem is purer than mine?" Don't say you haven't held hands, you haven't even said a word! ”
"Okay, okay, it's really not good, I'll find you a spirit and send it to the right corner to accompany you." I comforted him.
"Let's play!" Leo said, "Okay, you find a female ghost to accompany me, and you really think I'm hungry?" ”
"You're a little excited." I say.
"Well, I'll calm down." Leo said.
"Let's go, let's go down and have a look now." I say.
As I spoke, I unleashed a hypnotic spell to send the sea tribes into a deep sleep and dive underground.
The rock structure of the floating island part is still relatively solid, otherwise it would not have been chosen as a means of transportation.
Among the several entrances found by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, one of them can obviously lead deep underground, and the so-called alchemical iron rod mark, which is buried deep in the rock, must have been done by later explorers - although this does not stop later treasure hunters, but it can delay a little time, and it can be regarded as a resentment or bad taste after not getting the treasure.
The passage descends to the bottom of the floating island, which is the original summit of the main peak, where the texture of the rock changes.
It's not a labyrinth yet, but there are forked paths that lead deeper.
