Chapter 32: Water City (Part II)
So, Tianxuan and Hercules covered their mouths and noses and walked onto the bridge, but the strange thing was that as soon as they got on the bridge, those unpleasant and pungent smells disappeared in an instant!
Tianxuan tried to take a deep breath: "Wow! The air is so fresh! ”
"Of course!" Nicolas stretched out her index finger and said, "This shield is a plasma air purifier, which removes all those toxic gases!" But ......," said Nicos with a finger in the air, her eyes dripping around again, and a little mysteriously, "if you accidentally go up before the shield is opened, it will be a big problem!" ”
"What will happen?" Tianxuan asked as he rolled his eyes upward.
"Do you know what this bridge is for?" Nicolas asked rhetorically with a wink.
"Is it just extraordinary, could it be that there is something else?" Hercules tilted his head in disdain.
"Humph!" Nicolas leaned forward slightly, put his fingers to his lips, and said with a smile, "This bridge has a mechanism, and only a specialized alchemist can disarm the mechanism if it is certified." ”
Tianxuan squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "The symbol you just drew on the purple stone pillar is a special certification for alchemists?" ”
At this point Nicos straightened up, snapped his fingers, and grinned, "Clever! That's it! If you don't have the certification, you will venture to the bridge, and the mechanism on the bridge will open, and the poisonous gases drawn from the river will be sprayed from both sides. So some of the animal carcasses that you saw floating in the water earlier were caused by this. ”
Hearing this, Tianxuan's jaw drooped, his lips and mouth relaxed, his eyes opened wide, his eyelids and eyebrows raised slightly, and he was really startled: "This is really fatal!" Please, eldest sister, can you say it early next time! Every time I get to the bone, my little heart can't stand it! You see it's still fluttering and jumping, what do you think? As he spoke, Tianxuan hunched his body and kept touching the heart with his palm, his face showing blue tendons, pretending to be in pain.
"Smack!" Hercules slapped Tianxuan's body straight, crossed his waist and said very unpleasantly, "Don't pretend, you kid, look at you being scared, what is this thing!" Give me a good walk, we need to get down to Brentre and report on the situation in Lamian. ”
"Hey, can you not be so upset and ruin the atmosphere every time!" Tianxuan sighed and spat out his lips. Then the three of them walked quickly to the water city.
"Yo, it's Nicos!" At this moment, a young woman dressed in purple appeared in front of them. Look closely at this woman looks very good, with a pair of slender and curved eyebrows on her broad forehead, slender eyes and thick flesh around her eyes, a high nose bridge, a large and slender mouth, and a cloud bun on her head, quite an ancient beauty.
"Long time no see, Black Katy!" As she spoke, Nicos greeted her and happily shook Black Katy's hand.
"How did you get here?"
"I was originally sent by Hestia to Power City, but I encountered a lot of situations along the way, in short, the top priority now is to get in touch with Brentel as soon as possible!"
"So serious?" Black Katy raised her eyebrows, the center of her eyebrows clenched.
"Well, very serious!" Nicolas said with her eyes half-closed, nodding vigorously.
"Alright! Come with me! After saying that, Heikaty turned sideways and stretched out his right palm to invite a few of them into the city. So, Tianxuan and Hercules followed Nicos into the water city.
Arriving in the city, Black Katy quickly connected to Brentle's communication, and then a brown-haired middle-aged woman wearing a golden helmet appeared on the counter. This woman looks like a tall and straight nose, with a small and round nose, beautiful and solemn.
"This is the central chamber of Brenthal, and I'm Speaker Victoria. What do you have to report to me? ”
"Your Excellency, I am Nicos, a student of the alchemist Hestia."
"Oh? Hestian students, what's going on? Speaker Victoria's mouth opened slightly, feeling strange.
"I was ordered to go to Power City to upgrade my alchemy technology, but I didn't want to run into the poisoners of Lanmian City, and I ended up here!" Nicolas was anxious to speak, looking a little excited.
Speaker Victoria closed his eyes for a moment, then said, "Nicos, don't be in a hurry, slowly tell me in detail."
So, Nicos desperately took a deep breath, trying to calm her heartbeat, and Tianxuan patted her back with his palm in time to help her calm down.
After calming down a bit, Nicolas reported the incident to Victoria......
After hearing this, Speaker Victoria asked Nicoles and the others to rest in Watery City, and she would solve the problems of Laman City.
After the communication ended, all of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally let go.
"Hey! Finally, I can get a good night's sleep! Tianxuan snorted and stretched out a long lazy waist.
"Black Katy, can you help Tianxuan find a room, their surface people often need to hibernate!" With that, Nicolas and Black Katy looked at each other, both hunched over and smiling.
"Come, come with me!" Black Katy said as he folded his hands together and lay them flat on his chest.
"Well, thank you, beauty, I really can't bear it!" As he spoke, Tianxuan covered his mouth with his palm and yawned a few more times.
Tianxuan followed Heikaty out of the communication room and into the city. I saw that this water city is connected by a number of waterways, bridges and airflow tracks. The canals are like cobwebs between small circular buildings.
"The fixed-point transportation here is built on the water, which is really peculiar!" Tianxuan slightly curved the corners of his mouth and said to Black Katy.
"Of course, there are many stars here, and all kinds of crude oil flow below, and it is difficult for ordinary vehicles to drive on it; It's even more impossible to row, it's too slow! Black Katy said, still with her hands flat on her chest.
Tianxuan looked at Heikati and felt that although she was a bit of an ancient beauty, she was too restrained, and she wanted to tease her, but just as she was about to open her mouth, a yawn came again. His tired body made his mouth a little weak. Then he asked flatly, "Where is my bedroom?" ”
"Just the gray rotunda at the forefront." Heikaty still had her hands on her chest, just tilting her head forward.
Tianxuan looked ahead, and there was indeed a gray circular building complex, but this should not be gray, but gray and almost transparent, and the color of the water of the Root Feather Shen Lake was almost the same. He looked in all directions again and saw that there were many yellow, red, black and other complexes. This made him a little puzzled, so he smiled and looked at the black katy next to him: "Excuse me, Miss Heikati, why should I go to a gray place to rest, instead of a yellow, red or black complex to rest?" To be honest, I still prefer yellow! ”
Black Katy chuckled, and then the hands that were stirred together parted, covered his lips with his left hand, and said a little shyly: "Silly boy, do you know why there are so many colored buildings here?" ”
"Why?"
"Each color of the complex corresponds to a unique type of crude oil." Black Carty explained.
"All correspond to the color of crude oil?"
"Yes, the gray corresponds to the purest crude oil that is colorless and odorless, that crude oil does not have any toxic smell and is not easy to burn! So the living area where is most suitable. Even if there is a refinery there, but it is out of the way. Do you want to live somewhere else? ”
Tianxuan glared, shook his head and hurriedly denied it, and then arched his hand and said, "No, no, no, let's go to the place at the front!" Please! ”
"Hehehe!" Black Katy smiled heartily.
Tianxuan couldn't cry or laugh at Black Katy's laughter, and he wanted to tease others, but he ended up playing with it instead. So, he turned his head to take a closer look at the view of the water city.
In the process of appreciation, I found a peculiar phenomenon, the small islands here are just formed round buildings, which do not feel like natural, so I said to myself: "The small islands here are really a coincidence, and each area just forms a circular building complex." ”
"Of course, some places are man-made!"
"Oh? Artificial land! No wonder it's such a coincidence! But where does this drinking water come from? Tianxuan squeezed his brows suspiciously, and asked with his finger on his cheek.
"There are white grooves in the gray complex, and there are man-made lake basins. When the surrounding crude oil flows into the basin, there are diverter tanks to separate the crude oil, and the hydrogen atoms are separated and electrolyzed into water and flow into the basin, and the crude oil is diverted to the refinery to refine chemical products. In addition, when the entire complex was built, the direction and speed of the water flow were carefully calculated to maximize the use. ”
Just as Black Katy was about to explain further, they came to the gray complex at the forefront. I wanted to listen to more advanced technical concepts, but sleepiness instantly swept through Tianxuan's entire body, and his eyelids were constantly fighting, and his mind began to be a little unclear, so Tianxuan went directly to the bedroom to sleep first.
