Chapter 417 Speculation about the Underground Ocean
"Could it be the Underground Sea?"
Natia Vida proposes a possibility:
"Sadara once dug up a high-pressure impact stone in the underground ruins, a small part of which is crushed crystal water (note: similar to the massive hydrate on the earth), and the remaining scientific and technological experts have conducted water quality analysis and stress tests on this stone, and many of them believe that there is a huge underground sea under the continent."
"Probably not."
Xia shook his head:
"There may be an underground sea, but it will never be that deep."
According to the information she knew, the high-pressure impact stone was actually the Lynwood stone on the earth, which was actually not particularly rare.
Lump water has also been found in the Ringwood Stone, and after rigorous scientific testing, some people have also put forward the hypothesis of the underground sea, but the location of this underground sea is in the outer transition zone of the earth's crust, that is, it is no more than 500 kilometers from the surface, and it is far from the 3,000 kilometers that the little loli in black descended to.
"But unlike Verne's fictional "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the 'father of science fiction', there is indeed an underground world here, and there are magma areas everywhere, and if the underground volcanoes erupt continuously, it is possible to spray stones into shallower strata."
"Hey, the underground ocean? There is also this legend inside Hell, where it is said to be ...... at the border of the dead"
Not willing to be lonely, the black cat came over and made a point that had nothing to do with science.
"That should just be a rumor......"
Sadonan and the Lich also expressed their opinions, and no one could convince anyone, only the werewolf princess had no interest in this at all, and was bored and kicked the pebbles next to her.
"You guys stop for a moment."
Xia was a little irritated by their quarrel, and later had to intervene to stop it:
"If you put aside the preconceptions between legacy technology and myths and legends, I have a guess."
She called the little Lori in black and asked her to tell everyone the story of the ancient magician.
"This bard named Agtra is very mysterious, and I have investigated his seemingly ridiculous writings, and found that most of them have traced traces, including this part of the history of the continent of Faennes."
She turned her head to look at the deep hole in the distance:
"If the gods really had that great battle with the Thirteen Dharma Gods, then the Faense Continent should have been separated from the world by now, and we are just in the interior of the continent...... And not inside the whole world. β
"The continent of Faense was made into a whole by alchemy, and the gods separated it from the whole world and surrounded it with huge glaciers in the surrounding oceans...... According to the legend, the bottom of the continent will indeed see seawater. β
Listening to her speculation, Sadonan and the lich did not speak again, and there was a thoughtful look in their eyes.
The half-elf girl lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something.
"The gods can join forces to suppress the thirteen law gods? How I don't believe it. β
The black cat, which has been imprisoned for a long time, is entangled in an unexpected place:
"The gods of the dragon clan and the god of death have never been concerned about the affairs of the world, and the Lord of Radiance and our boss will never be comrades-in-arms, so the battle power of the gods will be completely at a disadvantage; And what the hell is the source of magic......"
"Black cat, you know a lot about these things?"
Xia looked at it in surprise, and for the first time felt that this cat had the appearance of a seventy-two pillar demon god.
"Of course, master."
The black cat walked to the middle of the crowd with high spirits, stretched out his paws and patted the ground:
"You can ask me about those ancient secrets, as well as the filth and gossip between the gods, and I promise to satisfy you!"
"Do you know what's on top of the World Tree?"
Before Natsu could speak, Natya Vida suddenly asked.
"World Tree?"
The black cat touched his ears:
"That's the Elven Clan's Divine Tree, what can be ...... on it?"
The half-elf girl rolled her eyes and ignored it.
"Stephanie, you didn't find a monster down there, did you?"
Xia on the side also ignored the black cat and began to ask the black-clothed little Lori some questions about the deep hole:
"Then there is the smooth dΓΉ ...... of the inner wall of the cave"
"No, master. It's quiet and safe down there; The inner walls are rough rock mass and clay ......"
The little Lori in black answered one by one.
"Completely straight up and straight down?"
Xia took a cool breath:
"Even if we can all fly and want to go down to the bottom safely, this distance is not something that can be done in 1 or 2 days, so I'll go and see it first."
She let Sadonan pull herself with a rope, and went down alone into the bottomless cave, and stabbed her sword a few times near the entrance of the cave before climbing up.
"The rock mass and soil layer are very strong, but not to the point where they cannot be destroyed."
She patted the dirt off her body, turned to Sadonan, the black cat, and the lich:
"The three of you can fly, Stephanie has less strength, and at most one person can be pulled up at the critical moment, in this case, everyone's safety should still be guaranteed."
"It's just that it should be easy to go down."
Xia said what he was worried about: "It's hard to come up...... Black cat, how many people can you carry behind you? β
"If you turn on the combat state, it's no problem to carry everyone up, but it will consume a lot of energy."
The black cat replied:
"As long as I give me two vials of my master's current blood, I should be able to replenish it."
Probably because it knew that this master was not easy to fool, it did not bargain this time, but said a reasonable amount.
"Good."
After the final problem was solved, Xia's heart settled down:
"In that case, let's rest for another day today, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
After the disbandment, Sadornan found her.
"Captain, I have something to say to you."
"What's the matter? Specially brought me here. β
Natsu was taken by him to a secluded place, and the two stood behind a rock.
"I don't trust the lich very much."
Sadonan glanced over at the camp and whispered:
"If I'm not mistaken, most of what we're looking for this time is a very rare item, and even the Order's and atheists have sent out that kind of powerful lineup, which is enough to prove the preciousness of this thing."
"If it were usual, I wouldn't doubt it being our friend."
He voiced his concerns:
"But I've seen too many people who have betrayed their partners for profit, and if it suddenly turns around after getting that thing, our lives may be fine, but it's the fastest of us, and it's hard for me to catch up if I want to escape." R1152
