73. The Journey to Nomorigen (1)
Although it is said that Nomori Root is broken, it does not prevent Moon from obtaining the technology and equipment in it, although McNeil says that Nomregan was destroyed by a sudden epidemic of infectious diseases, but Moon has also investigated, and the disease does not infect races other than dwarves.
If you have a map in hand, you can see that in the area of the underground world that has been discovered, the dark elf's Black Yao can be said to be located in the north of the center, and the south of the Black Yao is the Orc's Raging Rift, the underground sea where Naga is located, and Lake Garbe is located in the southeast of Black Yao, and part of the middle is separated by the Deep Blue Forest, which is now Quisas, and Naga needs to take some detours to touch the Black Yao border.
Strictly speaking, the Demon Huang City of the Demon Race is located in the southwest of Hei Yao, but there is a plain in the middle, and the area is quite wide, because Hei Yao and Mo Huang City are not interested, and then it gradually developed into the territory of those small races, of course, there are several neutral cities distributed on it.
To the west of Black Shine is the love nest of the Succubus Clan and the Thorn Fortress of the Blood Clan, the two countries are very close to each other, and some conflicts often break out, but they are not fierce enough to rise to the level of war.
As for the legendary Dragon Domain, no one knows the exact location yet.
Although it seems that several countries are next to each other, if you look at the map, you can see that the distance between each country is still a bit far.
The ruins of Nomorigen are in the barren area of Blackglow, Nachtar, and Mohuang City, and in McNeil's words, the great gnomes hollowed out the mountain with their wisdom and built the great Nomorigen in it.
Moon traveled lightly, accompanied only by Emma, Usock, and McNeil.
In order to prevent Bone Dance from leaving his position as the commander-in-chief of the Guards to accompany Moon to Nomorigan, Moon also fought hard, and after the first life-saving trial with Bone Dance, Moon proved with a shield like a turtle shell that he could save his life even if he was suddenly approached by Bone Dance.
Compared to the Bone Dance, it was Liviasan who underestimated the woman's dedication to the Ancient Gate, and although she moved out of the Storm Town, it didn't have much effect over time. In the end, Moon agreed, and after returning from Nomorigan, he would cooperate with Liviasan's research work on the condition that Liviasan should act as a magical guide, teach mimicry magic to the magicians of Quezas, and cooperate with Tifa's training of magicians.
This is also the reason why Moon resolutely did not bring Tifa, she needs to learn, after all, magician is a profession that needs precipitation.
Emma has evolved to an embarrassing point by absorbing the energy in her mother's relics, that is, studying and meditating alone has not had much effect, and she must find some opportunities to break through, which is why Moon brought this Naga chick with her.
Moon remembered what Emma had told him before, that their chief priest in Nashatar was carrying machetes in six hands, slashing people while assisting them. Now Emma has some signs of this, although the knife skills are not good, the support and healing abilities are really strong.
Emma, who can freely switch her tail into a two-legged mode, sits behind Moon at this time, and the two ride a nightblade leopard, in Emma's words, her riding skills are too scummy, and if she rides by herself, she can't help but want to conjure her tail and wrap it around the leopard. Moon thought about the consequences for a moment, and decisively let him ride with him.
Two Nightbladed Leopards followed a mechanical bird and headed for Nomorigan. The robot bird McNeil designed for himself, although it runs a little bumpy, is really not slow, even faster than the Nightblade Leopard, combined with what McNeil made for Moon, which also made Emma sigh, the dwarf is really strong in invention and with the help of tools.
Although Quezas is currently developing well, there is not much high-end power that can be brought out. Although Liviasan is very strong, she also knows a little bit of the secrets of Quesas, if marrying the Ancient Gate can help her research, she should not hesitate to agree, this kind of person Moon does not dare to use, and she can't move.
Except for Liviasan, Grubal Mulet is considered to be the strongest combat force in Quesas, but the size of Gushu's classmates and the knowledge he possesses can play a greater role in Quesas, and he can't be a member of the expedition team.
Bone Dance is now a level 60 warrior, but the duties of the Guards Commander are there, and there is no way to run around with Moon. Removing the dark glow that is inseparable from Xiaobai, the level 60 death knight, the only one who can show his hand is Tifa, a level 45 inventor, farmer and magician, and Emma, a level 50 melee storm sacrifice.
Caesar and Ursok are both level 50, but Ursok doesn't have any position, so Moon brought him with him this time.
After nearly half a month of trekking, several people under the leadership of McNeill finally came to the ruins of Nomorigan, no need for McNeill's introduction, the arched gate at the foot of the mountain and the gear structure that is still rotating on it are very good to show that it is the kingdom of the gnomes.
McNeill leaned against the door, his head baring out to look inside the archway, goggles on his eyes to help him see in the dark.
Moon's head appeared above McNeil's head, squinting his eyes as well.
Ursok's stern face appeared above Moon, expressionless.
Emma's head appeared at the top, a look of curiosity and excitement, and her long brown hair obscured Ursock's vision.
"Why did you conjure the tail out?" said Moon, looking up at Emma, who was two heads taller than herself.
"You've all taken up the position, I have to lift myself higher. "Emma is a little aggrieved, I didn't think Moon cared about height before.
"Oh~~ I see. "Ever since little Moon was launched in Emma's tail, Moon has been a little afraid of her tail.
"Sir, shall we go in?" McNeil retracted his head, always thinking that if he was not careful, the first three men above could crush him to death.
"Nonsense, it's all here, why don't you go in? I've been trekking for so long for that excavator, how can I not get through the door!"
Ursok pulled himself out from behind the arch frame and walked straight into the somewhat tunnel-like interior, Moon and Emma looked at each other and followed.
"Are you familiar with the terrain?" said Moon, looking down at McNeil, who was following him.
"Master, I used to be just an ordinary worker, and I only knew that Nomorigen was underground, and I didn't have the authority to control the all-terrain of Nomorigan. ”
Moon nodded, didn't continue to ask, just gave Emma a look beside him.
The tunnel is so tall that it's hard to imagine how a dwarf could have built a tunnel to such a scale that it feels like Caesar wouldn't have felt too low when he walked through it.
And although the tunnel was long, and the people had not reached the end now, it was not dark at all, and the flickering lights on both sides made Moon feel that this place did not look like it had been destroyed.
"What is this?" Emma tilted her head and looked at the huge lid in front of her, which opened and closed for a while, and there was an iron plate with a handrail inside.
"Elevator bar. ”
"Master Wise, it's the elevator, the entrance to Nomorigen must be reached through this elevator, in the past, as long as a team of electromagnetic shooters was sent to guard the tunnel, no matter how many enemies could not attack it, even if the electromagnetic shooters couldn't hold it, as long as the power supply system of the elevator was cut off, the enemy could only give up, and there was no other place to go underground. McNeil said with his hands dancing, looking excited, which made Moon's suspicion even heavier.
Judging from what he is saying now, McNeil does not look like an ordinary dwarf worker, at least he is quite familiar with the external defense of Nomorigan and the response plan, has the dwarf reached the point where all people are soldiers and national defense education is universalized per capita?
"So this elevator is still running, is someone operating it?"
"Back to the master, no, it is precisely because no one is controlling it that it will operate normally. Otherwise, the elevator should have been disconnected a long time ago. Because no one is in control, the system judges that everything is normal, and even if the power supply is insufficient, the backup power supply system will be activated, so it will continue to operate. ”
"Shall we go straight down, then?" Moon circled around the so-called lid of the pot, and found nothing unusual.
"Yes, sir, you'll be able to reach the entrance to Nomorigan after you go down. ”
"Very well, let's go. ”
Several people were lifted on the "pot lid", and when the elevator came up, they walked on the elevator, and with the "pot lid" buckled, Moon clearly felt that the elevator under his feet was descending rapidly. When the lid of the pot was lifted again, there was an area similar to an underground mine in front of everyone.
Several roads zig and twist in all directions, and the occasional side-by-side track can be seen, and it seems that the mining industry in Nomorigen was still very developed.
"How to go?" Although the vision was clear with the help of the lights, the intricate road in front of him still made Moon frown.
"Sir, please come with me. McNeil's voice trembled a little, and his small body chest heaved.
Moon sneered in his heart and raised his chin to signal McNeil to lead the way. McNeil shook his two little short legs and walked in front of him, Emma pulled down Moon's sleeve with some concern, looking a little worried, and Moon just patted Emma's hand and shook his head, looking relaxed.
The three of them followed McNeill around the underground passage, and there were no accidents during the process, except that they were amazed at the scale of the underground world, and combined with the dwarf's physique, this amazement rose a level.
"The underground of the underworld is quite interesting. Moon remembered Hidden Lan, the underground world itself is underground, and Nomorigen is actually underground, which can only be said to be a wonderful world.
"Chance, take you to Nashatar and let you see the underground sea. "Emma is quite proud of her hometown.
"The Underground Sea, Lake Calbe, doesn't seem to be big?"
"It's terrible to be uneducated. Emma smiled and hurriedly said, "Just kidding, Lake Garbey is just a relatively large outlet to the sea, in fact, the underground sea is very large, and Nashatar is also very large. ”
"What about obsidian?" Moon couldn't help but wonder if he had always thought that Nashatar was only the size of Lake Garbe, was he underestimating Naga's war potential?
"I don't know, I haven't measured it. Emma lowered her head a little embarrassed, obviously she thought of saying that Moon was uneducated, but she was instantly asked without answering. The big face came too fast, like a tornado.
"Bigger than obsidian. Usock's words stunned both Emma and Moon.
"How do you know?" Moon wasn't distrustful of Usok, just curious about how he knew.
"I have a few druid friends who are good at transforming into capybaras, and they have a few friends, Miss Emma should know, called Archaeopteryx. ”
"Ahh ”
Compared to the Ancestral Turtle race, Moon cared more about the friends that Ursock spoke of.
"Those friends of yours are also unawakened?"
"Some of them are, some of them aren't. Ursok's words made Moon fall into deep thought, he thought that Ursok was a talent of one in a million, and it seems that the so-called druid art also seems to be quite adaptable for the unawakened.
"Well, I'll talk about that later. You say that Nachatar is bigger than obsidian, are you saying that the Ancestral Turtles said it?
"Your Highness, the Ancestral Turtle has two characteristics, one is longevity, the other is erudition, and they have enough time to acquire knowledge. ”
Moon nodded in agreement, but became more and more confused, since Nashatar was older than Obsidian, then why did Naga always want to harass Obsidian? What did they want? And for what? Although Emma's mother's relic, although it saved Moon's life and allowed Emma to evolve into a high-level storm sacrifice, it didn't seem to be worth enough for a country to attack frequently.
This problem is not indifferent to Moon today, because he now wants to contact all the ancient gates, and to achieve this goal, there are only two methods, the first is that Moon takes a few people straight to the doors of each other, the advantage is simple and convenient, and the disadvantage is that the individual strength is very high. For example, if Moon wants to go to the Ancient Gate near Olg in the Flame Rift, if the individual is not strong enough, with his racial characteristics, how can he not be discovered by Simba to reach the location of the gate?
This leads to the second method, which is to lead the troops to fight over. Then what is required is the overall strength of Quisas.
Due to the peculiarity of Nashatar's location, Moon could only choose to take a few people to the sea by himself, after all, the method of letting the dark elves go into the water on a large scale to fight Naga has not even seen a spectrum. If you understand the reason why Naga frequently harasses Obsidian, at least there is a possibility of negotiation, otherwise the gap in the environment will become the biggest obstacle to Moon.
"Sir, it's here. As Moon was still thinking about Naga's side, McNeil's words interrupted his thoughts, and in front of the four of them was a ruined tunnel entrance, the lights in which were almost ineffective, and it was too dark to see what was going on inside.
"What is this?" said Moon, looking down at McNeil, who looked excited.
"Master, this is the entrance to Nomorigan, after the outbreak of the Great Plague, the other entrances have been abandoned, only this one can still be used, I escaped from here in the first place. ”
Emma pulled a scroll out of her backpack and threw it to Usok, who took it and only slightly stimulated it with her magic, and the scroll glowed.
"I worked on it with Tifa, the Illuminated Scroll!"
"......" Moon still admires these two chicks, although they seem useless, but in this environment, doesn't it also work?
Ursok received Moon's signal and walked into the tunnel first, and somewhere he pulled out a branch and hung the activated light scroll on it.
Moon followed, and Emma was behind Moon, all six hands revealed, but each holding something different, two long knives, two small round shields, a staff, and a crossbow. This made McNeil swallow his saliva.
Emma is no longer worried about her six hands now, because Moon said that this is her characteristic, which is as different from her personality as hers, and there is no need to feel inferior because of this. This made Emma, who had always been very worried, let go of her burden and was no longer ashamed to show her fighting stance.
"It's a bit long. Emma's two knives dangled around McNeil, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mrs. Hui, this was originally a channel for automatic transportation of minerals in Nomorigan, after the outbreak of the plague, all the gnomes went crazy, and I had to choose this automatic mineral transportation channel that not many people know about to escape, so I was very impressed, and I can't be wrong. McNeil carefully avoided the knife beside him, and kept an eye out for the poisonous-looking hand-held crossbow.
"Oh, I see, how long will it take to get to the end of this tunnel?" Emma was so distraught that McNeil called Madame that she twisted a little faster. Although Emma can turn her tail into legs, she is not used to using legs, and Moon doesn't care about this, so she still likes to use Naga's original form in her fighting stance, and as for popping, it is still convenient for legs.
"Madame, this tunnel is very long, leading directly to the power center of Nomorigen, but we don't need to go to the end, there is a small door not far in front from which we can enter Nomorigen. ”
When Usok heard this, he redirected the branch from which the illuminated scroll was hanging in his hand and leaned against the side of the wall.
Silent all the way, the four of them walked in the tunnel for a long time, and during this time, they saw several minecarts driving automatically on the track next to them, which surprised Moon. After walking for more than half an hour, McNeill took a few steps forward to the front of the group, pointing in the direction of a flashing red light on the far wall.
"Master, do you see that red light?"
"Well, see, that's the entrance?" Moon looked in the direction McNeil pointed, and although the red was not very noticeable, it flickered and disappeared, but it was still visible.
"Yes, that's it, my lord's eyesight is really good. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, it's finally here, it looks like it's a door, isn't there a lock?"
"Back to the master, there was originally, but if Nomorigen switches to the backup power supply system, all systems will be restarted once, and the password needs to be set again. If no one resets the password so far, it's like no lock. ”
Hearing McNeill say this, the few people stopped chatting and accelerated towards the little red light, although the atmosphere was not so relaxed and cheerful, it was not so depressing.
Moon looked at the steel gate in front of him, and the strange buttons in the lower right of the middle of the door, could this be the legendary combination lock?
McNeill stood in front of the door, his little hand working on the so-called numeric keypad, and the small red light above the door turned green.
"Sir, it's okay, the door is open. McNeil looked up at Moon and then gestured to the small light that had turned green.
"Red light stops, green light goes, yellow light pay attention to the distinct distinction?" Moon looked at the steel door in front of him, and it was only a small crack open, not even enough for McNeil to pass through.
"Master, there may be some malfunction in this door, although it is passable, but the door is not fully opened, you need to use a point... External force. McNeil said, taking a few steps back.
Moon shook his head at Usok and took two steps back. By the way, I took a closer look at the terrain.
The gate was built on a single step, and under the stage were two steel tracks, on which the automatic minecarts had just run, one out and one in.
Ursok clamped the little gap in the opening of the steel gate, and with a loud roar, he slashed to the right, and the door was opened little by little with the screeching sound of metal squeezing.
"Ahh
No matter how many times he watched it, Moon still felt very happy, because Usok himself had a tattoo on his face, so the big face of the giant bear he transformed into also had the same tattoo, but the shape didn't feel anything on the human face, and it gave people a very embarrassing feeling on the bear's face.
"Your Highness, the door is open. Usok turned back into his human form and turned to Moon.
"Well, let's go inside. Moon coughed dryly, masking his smile, and stepped through the door first.
Emma and Ursock then walked in, and when Ursock turned to look for McNeil, he saw the little dwarf with a wicked smile on his face, throwing a small jar into the door with one hand, and frantically pressing the other hand on the door's keyboard.
"Sir, I wish you a great time. The moment the door closed, McNeil shouted.
Moon heard McNeil's voice, turned around to look, the small jar on the ground that McNeil threw in suddenly burst into a burst of bright light, the unprepared Moon couldn't adapt to the sudden light, his eyes couldn't see anything, Moon didn't hesitate, but took out a controller-like device from his arms and pressed it directly.
It was given to Moon by the Flower Prison, the controller that decided the life and death of the prisoner, but on the other side of the closed door, there was no explosion.
"Oh roar. Emma shrugged her shoulders and said, "Are we being counted again?"
