Chapter 34: Archimedes' Screw

Naser looked at the crank-shaped handle, although it was covered with dust, but it could still be seen that the dragon and phoenix were carved on it, and the workmanship was exquisite, and it was simply a handicraft.

"I'll take a look......" Nather held the lever in one hand and fumbled around the wall with the other, peeling aside a few rocks to reveal a card slot.

Nashur directly inserted the lever into the card slot and slowly rotated-

The sound of "kalala ......" gear clinking and stones crumbling came from the entire basement, and a large earthquake shook and a stone door opened next to the card slot.

"...... this?" Athena looked at everything behind the stone gate and was shocked.

It was a huge lava lake. The lava is still pouring upwards, but at the same time, there are many huge metal augers that transport the lava out little by little, and the lava gushes a little bit, and it is swept away by the metal augers and transported to an unknown place.

"That's really...... It's amazing! Athena exclaimed in amazement.

"It's called the Archimedes Auger, and we use it to carry water and lava, and it's our last line of defense to keep the treasure land of Atlantis." "The last time Atlantis was destroyed, it was because these Archimedes augers were overloaded and the entire island was emptied, and the Great West was destroyed. ”

"And what exactly do you want to do now?" Athena asked.

"Give these Archimedes augers a holiday." Nather said, slamming a shove on a handle in the corner.

As soon as Archimedes' snail rod stopped, all rotated in reverse, and actually transported back in the lava.

What poured in for a moment was no longer lava, but seawater.

The lava lake froze instantly, and the heat and steam that came to Athena's face retreated, and the smell was too strong.

The smell of sulfur and earth is a great irritation to the lungs, eyes and mouth.

After standing for almost half an hour, the smell dissipated a little, and I could barely see the way.

"What the hell are you doing?" Athena asked Nather angrily.

"I'll show you something magical," Nather said with an innocent look, "but this lava lake is in the way." ”

"Then you can't do that, you bastard!"

Athena sneered, and punched Nather twice in the chest.

"Don't worry, follow me." Nather subconsciously pulled Athena's hand, but Athena was like an electric shock, suddenly retracted her hand, and took a few steps back vigilantly.

"Uh...... Excuse me. Naser realized that he had made a serious mistake and hurriedly apologized.

Athena was not just a Valkyrie and a goddess of wisdom, she was the embodiment of chastity, knowledge, and goodness.

"Don't take it as an example." Athena said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze, leading the way!" ”

Nather didn't speak, but threw a stone first, making sure that the basalt solidified by the lava was solid, and then went up.

Even so, Nather still didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that if he stepped down, the basalt would shatter.

In this way, I don't know how long, Athena saw that the scene gradually changed, the original lava cave gradually turned into a crystal vein, and later, even the crystal was gone.

"Here we are." Nashur said, pointing to a round stone platform not far ahead, "It's there, go up and see for yourself." ”

"What the hell is it? It's so mysterious. Athena was a little impatient, but when she walked up, she was frightened.

There was a heart on the gem table, which was stuffed with gears, but it was not stuffed into it haphazardly, but it was packed piece by piece, and even the gears were still spinning, and the heart was still beating.

"This ...... What the hell is this? "Athena was a little shocked, what a magical world, which had even surpassed their gods.

"That's the inventor of those Archimedes' screws, the heart of Archimedes." Nasser's words were astonishing, "It's a pity that there is no knowledge left in it." ”

"What are you bringing me to see this heart for?" Athena asked.

"This heart is a gift for you, it can bring you back from the dead." Nasser said, "But when you come back to life, all your memories will be erased. ”

"You can also do without him now, I put him back, erasing the memory is not a good thing." Nasser emphasized.

"That's a life, don't be in vain." Athena said as she picked up the mechanical heart.

"Are you sure?" Nassar asked.

"I'm sure." Athena said, a blush suddenly flushed across her pretty face.

"It's a gift from you, and of course I'll have to accept it."

Athena put away the mechanical heart a little shyly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Nather, "Then why didn't you use her to resurrect in the first place?" Forget about your feud with Poseidon, isn't everything okay? ”

"If you have revenge, you don't take revenge, but choose to forget, that's cowardice." Nasser said.

There is a very famous aphorism in Atlantis: "Excessive bravery is called ignorance, excessive fear is called cowardice." Fear is the only way to be fearless. ”

Naser has been exposed to it since he was a child, and naturally brings this essence to the extreme.
