Chapter 437: High Technology
After the feast, Izax led them to a terrace above the palace, from which they could overlook most of the Demon King's City, a huge city that could not be seen even from the highest point of the palace.
The city is roughly circular and planned, with a magnificent obsidian faΓ§ade divided by twelve symmetrically distributed high walls, each of which can see the iconic buildings of various races and the huge black towers built by demons. The inhabitants of the city were not separated by these high walls, which were left with huge gates and suspension bridges, which were magically driven and could be opened and closed at any time, presumably to further defend the city against foreign enemies in the event of an attack. The Demon King's palace is located in the middle of the city, built on a tall rocky hill.
Looking down, you can see that the elven giant tree is adjacent to the human house, the dwarven furnace is next to the orc's gladiatorial arena, and the crystal tower of the spirit race is built on the cellar of the halfling - hundreds of years of living together have completely changed the traditions and habits of these "demon princes", as a group of people who live directly in the demon king city and are most deeply influenced by Izax, they have long been accustomed to this atmosphere of gathering together to live together, and the elves will not feel that there is anything wrong with the rough liquor barbecue of the orcs, The orcs are also happy to study their intricate but exquisite woodcarving with the elves, which is the true side of the eerie Demon King City to outsiders.
It's a pity that most people can only notice the hideous appearance on the hundred-foot high wall of the Demon King City.
Yizax crossed his arms and looked down at this qiΔ: "Do you think this city can be transferred as a whole?" β
Hao Ren was unimpressed: "The hundreds of millions of people of the Erim elves have been packed and taken away, as well as a few of their floating islands - those islands are larger than your Demon King City. β
"But at that time there was a fleet of convoys, and more importantly, the universe of the Elim elves had a world gate." Itzax glanced at Hao Ren, "There is no such thing in this world. All we planned was to come to Elizabeth. I didn't expect there to be a whole city of people......"
Hao Ren shrugged: "Anyway, it's definitely unrealistic for you to give up the people of this city, right?" β
Izax smiled and said nothing.
"So that's not it." Hao Ren grinned, "Don't think about these things, I have arrangements." The problem of the gate of the world can be solved, and I am going to write a report and ask the above to open a temporary gate, as for the inflow of people...... Rest assured, I have experience. β
As soon as Hao Ren said that he had experience, Vivian and Nangong May next to him immediately began to roll their eyes, knowing what this guy meant by saying that he had experience.
Vivien looked at the magnificent city. Looking at Yitzhax with some curiosity: "Actually, I'm more curious about another thing: did you really give up like that?" β
"I've done everything I can do, and if I lose, I'm losing, and if I drag these people in the city to die again for my own obsession, then it's not fun," Itzhax pointed to the city below, "It's not a comeback, it's just a waste of these people's lives." β
"But I'm afraid some of your men don't think so," Hao Ren glanced at Itzhax, "like that Ramondino." β
Itzax was silent for a moment. He put his hand on Elizabeth's head and stroked it gently: "It won't be long before he will leave the city with some demons, Elizabeth, and he will go to Sue SΓΉ Gadama later." Don't stop him when the time comes. β
The little girl nodded sensibly, and Hao Ren was suddenly surprised: "You all know that someone is going to run?" β
"I've been dealing with him for thousands of years, and I've been fighting together since before the unification wars began. There were a couple of other old guys in the city, and I knew them well. Izzax smiled nonchalantly, "Compared to the ambition of the sea of stars. In fact, they are more interested in the war itself. If I'm not mistaken, they followed Elizabeth to endure in another dimension for a year in order to recuperate and prepare for a comeback, and now that the chance to make a comeback is gone, they naturally won't stay here. β
Then Yizax sighed: "The three views do not agree, and you can't force it." β
Hao Ren looked at Yitzhax in a daze: "You have a very wide heart...... You knew about it back then, can you still tolerate them? β
"It's not that it's a heart, it's just that it works," Itzax grinned, "I don't need everyone to think the same way as me, I just need their power to be useful to me." Let him fight if he can fight, let him explore what he can explore, and let him study what he can study. Ramondino is a standard demon, so let him do what the standard demon does best. And now he can't accept the future arrangement, so he can come and go freely. β
Vivien seemed to have some questions to ask, but Izax didn't intend to continue on the topic, and he looked down at Elizabeth, "Okay, let's talk about the city's problems - you've solved the city's dynamics?" How? β
The little girl Elizabeth immediately puffed up her chest: "I found it!" We've found a source of energy in another dimension, and we're now in the Wangcheng Power Furnace - Dad, do you want to see it? β
Yizax suddenly smiled: "Of course I have to go and see." How many of you are coming? β
Hao Ren and the others could not miss this kind of thing, and they all became excited one by one, and even Doudou shouted happily: "Come too!" Come too! β
A group of people immediately set off for the power zone of Demon King City, which was located under the palace. Elizabeth led the way, and Hao Ren followed them around the palace, and after passing through long corridors and tightly guarded doors, they arrived at a circular hall. The hall was different from the rest of the palace, with no decorative sculptures or reliefs to be seen, but rather rune-like lines inlaid with crystals and silver-white metal on the surrounding walls, and these mysterious patterns glowed slightly under the power of the magic, echoing the light and a low humming sound that constantly echoed in the hall.
Hao Ren's feeling is like a magical version of the control room of a nuclear power plant in another world.
Elizabeth motioned for everyone to stand on the black stone platform in the center of the round hall, and then raised her hand to make a strange gesture to a piece of crystal above the hall, and the black stone platform shook slightly and began to sink slowly.
It turned out to be an elevator......
As the elevator sank, everyone began to enter the important area at the core of the Demon King City. Hao Ren soon found himself in a long, crystal-clear vertical passage through the transparent walls around the passage, revealing the city's unknown interiors: huge, dwarven-style steam pipes entrenched around it, and heavy bronze parts thrived under the dwarven steam power, providing massive energy to the city's superstructure. Underneath the dwarven steam pipes is a grid layer made of dark red crystals and mythril metal, which serves as a buffer for the basal power zone. Further down, you can see more bizarre things, there are a whole layer of dark green crystal matrix, there are obsidian floors depicting complex magic arrays, and a steel structure that looks like a jungle - I don't know how much effort it took Yitzax to transform the city to this kind of process back then, looking at these strange structures that mixed technology, magic, alchemy, evil energy, and even steam power, Hao Ren suddenly understood the reason why the Holy See coalition forces could not attack the Demon King City for a long time.
This is really Zenith technology......
After a long descent, the black stone platform finally reached the point, and everyone came to the deepest part of the underground of the Demon King City.
Elizabeth led the group down a sloping corridor for another section, and came to a large circular cloister with neatly arranged stone windows on the inner walls of the cloister.
Cast directly from obsidian metal, the power furnace is a large circle of rotunda with a cascade of steps descending to form a structure that resembles a gladiatorial arena, and on each level you can see countless glittering runes and Mithril lines, which connect to the center of the hall: there, a metal device of several concentric rings is in motion, and in the center of the device is a mysterious substance that emits a dark red light.
On the steps of the power furnace, a lot of staff can be seen busy, among which in addition to demons, you can also see the tall blue-skinned spirits and the dwarven technicians who roll around like wine barrels.
Elizabeth proudly introduces this place: "This is the magic furnace of the royal city!" β
Hao Ren looked at it in a daze for a long time, then turned his head and looked at Yizax strangely: "...... I suddenly know another reason why you're letting the whole world form a group. β
Izzax: "What? β
"You guys are different from other people's painting styles wherever you go!" (To be continued......)
