Chapter 186: Childhood× Cheering × Waiting
It's beautiful! But the water that flows from the gems is even more beautiful!
Ha is too tall, if he stands up straight, he will reach the roof, Qi Yu has to bend down when he comes up, and Ha can only squat.
Ignoring the numbness of his legs and the not too wide suspended wooden beams that barely supported him, Ha's eyes stared straight at the gem that reflected the magnificent green light and the transparent water left from the gem, the clear flowing spring, Ha didn't need to taste it to know the sweetness there.
Ha was even ashamed of the dirt of his fingers, and did not dare to touch the gurgling spring, but dared to get as close as possible to feel the coldness of the water, and involuntarily began to search for the memories of those rescues.
Because it was only when I was a child that I had seen such a clear and luscious water source.
The original water sources here were called wells, and they have always been the main source of water. The water in the well is salty and bitter,
The Eternal King, the god of war, led the people to distill salt with fire, cooled the water in the crevices of the rocks, combined with the few freshwater wells, and dug huge pits or lakes with divine powers, barely supplying the drinking water here.
Later, the sun was gone, and the goddess of eternal twilight had stolen her power, and there was no night.
There were no trees here, and the lake was flooded with black water seeping out of Kamihara, and there were fewer and fewer wells, and the saltwater wells began to decrease, and the freshwater wells disappeared without a trace, but the oil wells were more and more, slowly accumulating on the other side of the city, until the lake overflowed.
Without the sun, people here have burned fires for lighting from generation to generation, but fire cannot replace the sun, people drank too much of the drinking water precipitated by the black water, and the epidemic began, and fewer and fewer people came from outside.
Later, the door disappeared. Cut off from the outside world, no one came again until a friend of the Divine Messenger appeared.
Suddenly, the loud pleading voice below woke me up.
It's Helles praying to the gods! What happened.
Ha hurriedly went down to look, but found a white flame flying towards him.
Rumble! Like Hellas, the moment he saw that white flame, he felt something explode in his head, and his whole body stiffened and fell to his knees!
Did you unknowingly make some unforgivable mistake?
Ha's mind was like falling into an ice cave, but he saw the god and shook his head helplessly.
But the white flame flickered past him, and he hurriedly turned his head, and his neck ached violently, but he saw the white flame kiss the green gem gently.
Oh, my God! Ha closed his eyes in pain, raised his hand in the direction of the gem for a long time, and finally put it down helplessly.
Why give us hope and destroy it?!
Ha was bitter and angry. It's just that this gem is a divine thing, what can I say?
Woowoowoo!!
The sound of the wind became more intense, reaching Ha's ears from all directions.
Boom la la la!!
The sound of the water suddenly became intense.
And some calls?!
Ha suddenly opened his eyes, and those calls were coming from outside! What happened?
"Don't look at it! Take your time later! Let's go down together! ”
It's the voice of Qi.
Ha greedily watched the whistling water vapor merge into a stream of water that was many times larger under the emerald, swallowed his saliva, and quickly moved his body back. When he stepped back, he saw Qi's smiling expression and Halleys's sudden helplessness.
"Let's go." Qi Yu saw Hana's ignorant appearance, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he patted the big tall man on the shoulder indifferently, turned around and walked out of the water room.
Rumble! A loud call came from under the tower.
Helles followed behind Qi Yu, his eyes widened, looking at the spectacular scenery unfolding in front of him, and he forgot to breathe for a while!
The fog that had been lingering outside for many years had dissipated at some point, leaving only countless huge gray and white vortex currents, extending from the air and carrying the fine white water currents, converging towards this tower!
Those air currents came from the black water, from the sky, and even from the higher Kamihara and the nearby Amuza River.
Now they converge into the water of life, returning to this mud city plague station forgotten by time, hated by the world, and abandoned by kings.
Now that the long-lasting fog had dissipated, Helles' eyes, even if they were not good, saw the black rock wall towering above the distant side of the black water, which was where fate was cut off.
The old man couldn't look at one place for a long time, especially the air flow on this tower was so intense that his eyes itched, so he could only look down and closer.
Countless black-gray, gray-white or earth-yellow figures gathered from all directions, gathered under the tower, watched the changing water wonders, pointed and excited, shouted loudly, or beckoned friends, or prayed to the gods, or shouted oracles!
The tower was not very high, and Helles could see the look on the people's long-numbed faces changing again, and exhaled deeply, and then the whole body stretched out, from the day the sun god came to the present, it was the second time in just a few days!
This is the power of God!
Helles barely looked at the distant stone wall again, against the blowing cold and humid airflow, and it seemed that the oppression was much less.
"Lord Treasurer! Let's go down! I remember to open the gate, right? "Ha is starting to come alive again in the back, this scene is very exciting!
"Yes. Our hard work in the past few days is about to bear fruit. Qi Yu was also very excited. During his time on the Divine Plains, Qi Yu found that the burning of the white fire enhanced the effect of gathering water in gems by a hundred times, and would also accelerate the loss of gems.
But Qi Yu also tried, and the water gathered in this way naturally has the effect of removing divinity.
In other words, the people in the city have been saved, and the depth of this deep pit mud city is too deep.
In such a place, the humidity of the air is naturally much greater.
If the Tephnut Eye continues to operate like this, it will soon break the vicious circle and filter the air here.
It's just that you have to hurry.
Using Tephnut's Eyes like this, Qi Yu didn't know how long the remaining dozen gems would last.
Qi Yu had learned from Helles that there were less than a thousand people left in this city, including those who had abandoned and lived alone.
Hoping to survive the next stage, Qi Yu pinched the battle helmet on his head, and even hoped that Nirvana would not come back so soon.
"God's Messenger, let's go down!"
Helles and Harness winked and invited Qi to go down the tower and open the floodgates to greet the people's thanks and cheers.
At some point, the cacophony of voices below had converged into one: "Divine Messenger! Oracle! ........”
That huge exhilarating sound even reverberated over the entire city!
Qi Yu nodded, and was not polite, he circled down the stairs, and while going down, he looked at the thick water pipes in the middle of the tower, obviously having successfully passed the test.
The water pipes were cut one by one, and they were made up of the dense and elastic outer skin fiber layer of the seven-cheeked drowned eel, combined with the tenon pipes he led the people to make.
Helles and Ha, who followed Qi Yu down the tower, were also overjoyed, these precious woods played a greater role in the hands of the divine envoys! It's not in vain!
The two looked at each other and smiled, pressed the throbbing in their hearts and followed Qi Yu to the wooden bolt at the bottom of the tower.
There was water seeping out constantly, but it didn't get in the way.
The mortise and tenon joints that have been handed down in the mother country are surprisingly durable, not to mention that the mortise and tenon joints will be tighter when soaked in water.
It's just that the wood is not resistant to rot, so it's okay to use it for transition. If it really wants to last for a long time, I'm afraid it will have to use this main material that is all over the city.
Qi Yu put his hand on the wooden bolt, and his eyes had already drifted to the cascading water pipe not far away that could be seen more clearly as the fog dissipated.
I didn't know what the god of war wanted to do, and Qi Yu didn't want to use these things yet.
