Tianxuan looked in the direction of Nicoth's finger, and saw a huge cyan castle standing in the orange magma sea.

From a distance, the castle in front of you was made of countless cyan bricks, but it didn't look very conspicuous under the light of orange magma.

When the lotus ship got closer, Tianxuan could see the general structure of Gutenberg - the huge city was connected by bridges made of cyan bricks, and under the bridges were also connected to the cyan stone piers, and the orange magma waves kept lapping against the stone piers; In addition, the whole Gutenberg is left with only brown windows in addition to the cyan style, and from a distance, these windows seem to absorb the light, making the already monotonous castle feel even more oppressive and dark......

"It's like going back to the Middle Ages!" Tianxuan said with emotion.

After a while, the lotus boat came to a shallow area. When the boat hit the brown silt, it began to slow down, but it did not run aground. At this time, Tianxuan took a closer look and found that the brown sludge that the lotus boat encountered was actually semi-cooled magma, and when the ship sailed over, it could be clearly seen that after removing a layer of skin outside, dazzling orange magma seeped out inside.

In this way, after about ten minutes of driving, the Lotus boat broke through the shallow area and came to a stop at a blue-brick pier.

"This blue brick staircase should be walkable!" Tianxuan pointed to the cyan steps on the dock and said to Nicos.

"Hmmm! I think so! Nicolas nodded.

Then, Tianxuan walked down with Nicos. As they walked up the docks, a large brown gate appeared in front of them, but just as they were about to pass through, they saw a number of stone fences blocking their way.

"Hey! Friends who have just come ashore, please do iris verification! The guard in the horn helmet on the opposite side shouted.

"Okay!" After saying that, after passing the iris verification, they entered the fortress to meet the city lord.

When they came to the gate of the city lord's hall, a voice called Tianxuan: "Tianxuan, why did you come here?" ”

Tianxuan was very familiar with this voice when he heard this, so he suddenly looked back and saw that it was Hercules, and walked forward happily for a while and said, "Alas? I guess I'm asking you how you got here? ”

"Me?" Hercules pointed to himself and said, "I've been sent here to train elite warriors!" By the way, did you come to see me? ”

"It's not!" Tianxuan smiled and said, "I'm here to visit the source of energy, no, I just arrived here to meet the city lord here." ”

"I see! The city lord is not busy, inside, you can go quickly! ”

"Okay! Let's talk back! ”

"Let's talk back!"

After chatting with Hercules for a few words, Tianxuan approached the city lord's hall with Nicols. At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray uniform with a goatee appeared in front of them.

"May I ask if you are the lord of the city here?" Tianxuan arched his hand and asked.

"It's me, I'm Gutenberg IX!" Gutenberg IX replied calmly.

"Oh! It was a great pleasure to meet His Excellency Gutenberg! Tianxuan continued to bow his hand.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Tianxuan, and this is Nicos!"

"Tianxuan?" Gutenberg IX's eyes widened, looking a little surprised, "You are the most recent man from the ground?"

"I can't talk about the man of the hour, but it's me!" Tianxuan said with a smile.

"Come, please!" With that, Gutenberg IX took the two Tianxuan to the reception room to talk.

After Tianxuan expressed his intentions, Gutenberg IX did not show any strange expressions as Tianxuan imagined, but smiled and told them that a group of mining teams would set off to the source of energy in two days, and it would be okay to follow them when the time came.

After chatting for a while, Gutenberg IX arranged a room for the two Tianxuan to rest.

After returning to the room, Tianxuan suddenly lay down on the bed, looked up at the smallpox and thought, "Gusas and Hestia seem to have some complaints about the source of our Dao energy, but they want to talk about it. However, judging from the performance of Gutenberg IX, it seems that there is no secret that no one knows! What's going on here? ......" Thinking about it, a wave of sleepiness hit, and after a fight in his eyelids, Tianxuan gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but in a haze, Tianxuan felt something rubbing against his face, a little itchy, and this feeling seemed familiar. So, he shouted, "Nicos, don't make trouble!" He slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, it was Nicos.

Seeing that Tianxuan woke up, Nicos put away his hair, stood aside, and joked with a smile: "You are so lazy, you have to sleep at every turn!" ”

"If you're sleepy, you have to sleep!" Tianxuan defended himself.

"Alright! Hurry up, Hercules is already waiting! Nicolas urged.

"Got it! Rise! As he spoke, Tianxuan's waist moved and he sat up suddenly.

A few minutes later, Tianxuan walked out of the door and saw Hercules, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him: "Not bad! You look pretty stylish in your new outfit! ”

Hercules looked at his elite warrior's outfit, smiled and said, "Of course, it should be like this!" Let's go, I'll show you around. ”

Then, under Hercules' guidance, Tengen traveled through Gutenberg, and by this time, the entire structure of the fortress was largely reflected in his mind - the interior of the fortress was intricate with corridors leading to various small rooms or balconies, and possibly to a stone wall. And the interior of the fort is full of small windows made of brown fences.

After walking around, Tianxuan couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "Why is this fortress of Hercules so peculiar?" It's all made of bricks? ”

Hercules stretched out his index finger and said, "You don't know, these bricks are completely fireproof and insulated. ”

"Oh? With this magical effect, this brick is unique here? ”

"It's not! These bricks are called Gutenberg bricks and come from the Gutenberg interface at the bottom of the outer core asthenosphere. ”

"In other words, this fortress, including the previous transit station, is it made of Gutenberg bricks, right?"

Hercules nodded and said, "That's true! ”

"That's a huge project!" Tianxuan couldn't help but sigh. After a pause, he asked again, "But I don't know a few questions?" ”

"Say!"

"One is that when we first arrived in the outer core asthenosphere, we found that the entrance was closed, and we were directly in the orange magma sea, which felt like passing through an otherworldly gate, why is that?"

"For the hidden passage!"

"Huh? Is there some enemy or monster here? Oh my God, I'm so lucky to have made it all the way safely! Tianxuan's eyes widened and exclaimed.

Hercules smiled disdainfully and said, "There are so many enemies, most of the time it is peaceful here, it's just that the magma sea is not very suitable for habitation because of the lava sea everywhere." ”

"Yes, that's the second question, how many people are stationed here? What do you eat on a daily basis? ”

"Well, a batch of supplies will be sent over every month, but it is still a bit difficult to feed the 500,000 people here, so we also grow some plants to be self-sufficient!"

"Plants? I see that this place is full of lava sea and green bricks, how to grow plants? Tianxuan shook his head left and right and asked suspiciously.

"Huh! Let's go, I'll take you there! ”

Then, Tengen and Nicos followed Hercules to the lowest room of the fortress.

When the stone gate was opened, a garden the size of a football field appeared in front of them.

"This is ......," Tianxuan pointed inside, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Come on! Let me introduce you to you, the ground is red sand, and the hell wart is planted on it! Hercules introduced with a slight hint.

Tianxuan looked at the so-called hell wart, which was a dark red rhizome of more than ten centimeters and had orange ping-pong ball-like fruits hanging on both sides after it grew. After seeing the hell wart, he looked up again, and saw that there were orange trees all around him: orange branches, orange leaves, orange fruits, and they looked very beautiful.

So, the lively Nicolas couldn't help but walk over to find out.

"Be careful!" Hercules shouted.

However, it was too late, and Nicols had already walked above the red sand. Then, within seconds, she screamed and retreated.

"Wow! It's hot, it's hot! Nicolas sat down on the ground, took off her shoes, and began to rub her feet. At this time, several large blisters came out of the soles of her feet.

"What's going on?" Tianxuan asked suspiciously.

"Hey!" Hercules sighed and explained, "This is the lowest level of the fortress, you should know what's underneath!" ”

"Magma!" Tianxuan shrugged his eyebrows and exclaimed.

"That's right! It's magma! Hercules cleared his throat and went on to explain, "In order to increase the yield, Gutenberg has set up the planting base here on the lowest level, and from time to time the magma is introduced into the heating pool below to warm up the plants, just like the greenhouse effect. ”

"I see!" Tianxuan nodded and understood.

Hercules then adds: "In this way, a plant that used to bear fruit once every three months can now ripen in just ten days!" So self-sufficiency is achieved! ”

"How do you pick that? There must be some props! Tianxuan asked.

"Of course!" As he spoke, Hercules took out two pairs of stone boots from a cabinet, handed one of them to Tianxuan, and said solemnly: "You won't be afraid of getting hot when you wear these boots, but you have to be careful not to fall, and when the time comes, you will be like her, and I won't be responsible!" Oh! By the way, there's a pair of stone gloves for you! ”

"Cut!" Nicolas glanced at Hercules.

After putting on the stone boots and gloves, Tianxuan followed Hercules to the garden to pick them. Moments later, they were fully loaded.

When he came out of the red sand, Tianxuan smiled and handed the fruit of the hell wart to Nicos.

"Ahh Nicols took a bite, chewed it a few times, closed her eyes and said in enjoyment, "It's delicious!" ”

"Really? Then I'll try it too! As he spoke, Tianxuan also grabbed the fruit of a hell wart and ate it, and for a while the sweet and juicy feeling echoed in his mouth, which was indeed very delicious.

However, after eating five or six fruits, Tianxuan felt a feeling of fullness and burped at the same time. So, after a moment's pause, he asked Hercules, "How come I can be full after eating a few of them?" ”

"That's the beauty of the Hell Wart Fruit! It doesn't take much to replenish the energy your body needs! Hercules said with a smile.

"Awesome! I'm going to bring a few more with me to the energy source in two days so I won't be hungry! With that, Tianxuan picked up a bunch of Hell Wart Fruits and began to put them up......
