Chapter 486: The Sleeping Sense of Smell
Finch listened carefully, then turned to Luca and asked hesitantly, "Can you give me some insurance?"
"Okay, I see what you mean. Lukka raised his hand and cast the Diamond Skin and Bubble Spell in turn, so that even if there was any danger underground, it would be enough for the gnome to survive for more than a day.
"As long as you're concerned, how can my machinery be so prone to problems?" Gaviin muttered, pressing his nemesis to the seat, tying up the safety rope, and filling the powder cartridge under the chair, before pointing to a red button and saying, "Just press this button." β
Finch pressed it, and the rope under the seat quickly recovered, and before he could react, the whole person, along with the seat, disappeared into the narrow hole with a "whoosh".
Gavin scratched his head: "I seem to have forgotten to adjust the speed of the rope." β
"No need to excuse yourself, you did it on purpose. Luca said.
Gavin shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Hey, are you still alive?"
After a while, a faint voice came from under the entrance of the cave: "It's alive and wellβbut it's so dark hereβ"
It sounds like the reason for the low volume is due to the distance, not the condition of Finch himself.
"The third button on the right handle is the switch for the miner's lamp, remember it's the third, don't press it wrong!" Gavin continued to shout below.
After a while, Finch shouted from below, "Bastard goblins!
Gavin shouted in a bit of a hurry: "You retarded dwarf! I said it's the second one! The third one is the flush button, you press it so indiscriminately, the digging machine will rust!"
"You're clearly the third. Phil said with a frown.
After tossing and turning for a while, the excavator finally began to work, and the gnome and goblin's complaints to each other were overwhelmed by the roar of the machine, and eased a little.
Half an hour later, Finch popped out of the hole, probably because of an extra rinse, his face was covered in mud, and his delicate and soft clothes became a half-dry clay tablet.
Before Phil went down, he asked Gavin to copy down all the functions of the excavator's controls, including but not limited to handles, buttons, switches, and even plugging and unplugging wires, and memorized them carefully.
"Master, you don't have to worry," Gavin said, "you're not that dwarf, can I deliberately trick you?"
"Huh, you're finally admitting to cheating me?" Finch shouted, wiping a handful of muddy water from his face.
Phil said seriously: "I believe you won't 'deliberately' cheat me, but that doesn't mean you won't cheat me." β
Lukka felt the same way, and walked over to give Phil a full set of life-saving spells, and finally gave him a piece of enchanted glass for the illusion.
"You're going to too deep for us to hear what you're saying, so we can use this to pass on what you're going to say. He explained.
Phil nodded, pressed the button on the seat, and entered the small hole left by the excavator.
After more than half an hour, he returned to the ground safely, untied the safety rope, walked down from the seat, shook the empty bottle in his hand and said: "It's a pity that the space below is too small, there is no way to dilute it and then sprinkle it. β
"It's just a day, and we can afford to wait. Lukka said and took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "I said why are you so sleepy, it's almost two o'clock in the night! β
Phil hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better stay here and see how the tree reacts first." β
"Yes, yes," probably because he was afraid that after these people left, something would go wrong with the sacred tree, and the garrison commander Garansel also said, "We still have a lot of empty rooms here, and you don't need to go to the dock again at this late hour, the black light is blinding, what if you fall?"
"Blind in the dark?" Lukka looked up and looked at the trunk of the tree with countless points of light.
"That's what it means, anyway," Garanthel leaned closer, pointing to Dolan, who was standing on the side muttering to the trunk, and lowered his voice, "That guy won't leave, and if he does something again, we won't be able to deal with it." β
"As the head of the garrison here, you don't trust the descendants of the Sacred Tree?" Lukka asked in surprise.
"It's not that I don't trust, it's that I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate with a plant. Garrensel said. Indeed, in some matters, especially those related to the sacred tree, Dolan would not compromise at all.
"Okay, let's just stay. Lukka nodded. Anyway, even if he was accompanied by the half-giant Linde, he didn't worry about leaving Phil here by himself.
After more than half a day of contact, Garrensel knew very well that this seemingly powerful mage was very resistant to climbing the stairs, and directly prepared a private room for each of them on the first floor. Although the furnishings in the room were old, he also sent someone to clean up and tidy up temporarily.
Lukka was satisfied with his arrangement, washed up and fell asleep.
It wasn't long before he felt like he had just closed his eyes when he was awakened by a smell.
Generally speaking, people are easily awakened by sound during sleep, because hearing does not fall asleep with the human body. But during sleep, the sensitivity of smell comes after touch and sight, and even if the nose can smell it, the brain doesn't do anything about it.
This time, though, Lukka's was indeed awakened by the scent.
The smell is not strong and pungent, and even has a soothing faint fragrance that wafts to the tip of the nose in his sleep, giving Luca the illusion of being surrounded by flowers.
As soon as his thoughts moved, he found himself on the bow of the Silent Reaper, flanked not by rolling water, but by a sea of flowers. The appearance of these flowers, Lukka had not seen before, but they seemed to have all the concepts of flowers, and just by looking at them, he could be sure that they were the most beautiful flowers in his consciousness.
Surrounded by colorful petals, bursts of fragrance wafted out, and this fragrance carried a little warmth, which made Luca feel extremely comfortable in every pore of his body, and he just wanted to indulge in this smell forever.
"You see, it's always calm and safe here, so it's better to rest here. A voice sounded in his head, and it was his own.
With these words, a comfortable recliner even appeared next to Luca, and he didn't remember what movement he had, and his body was already lying on it in the most languid position.
"It seems nice to spend the rest of your life here. Thinking so, he gradually closed his eyes.
