Chapter Ninety-Nine: Underground (1)
As soon as the prunella grass party stepped into the ground of Giffen looked up, it was extremely conspicuous.
-- He couldn't help but be amazed at what he saw.
He even subconsciously rubbed his eyes, staring very seriously at the light source that was emitting a soft light above the vast space in front of him for a while, until his eyes did not emit any strange feeling, and he dared to confirm that this was indeed underground, and the light source in front of him ...... It's not the sun, either.
That artificial light source -- As the name is called, the light below reflects the scene below as if it were daytime, and because of the angle, the top of the surrounding rock wall is still dark, so the space below is like a valley surrounded by mountains, and from the mouth of the valley where the prunella grass is located, there are large areas of rocks glowing with red gray and lead black, these lines of dark mountains that seem to be dragged out by watercolor on the canvas, like mottled leaf ink spots in early autumn, swaying on the mountains, there is a very indescribable beauty.
The ground beneath the grass was extremely flat, and a large number of figures were coming and going, most of them in good order, except for a few adventurers like him who had stepped into it for the first time, a little dazed and overwhelmed.
The white quartz walking in front of him turned around in a very chic manner as if it had been carefully calculated, bowed down to make a welcoming gesture, and said with a smile: "Giffen Ruins...... Welcome to your arrival. ”
Then he looked at the bustling crowd behind him and corrected, "Or - welcome to you...... Another Giffen?"
"Here...... It's not quite what I imagined. Prunella muttered to herself.
Bai Quartz nodded and said very understandingly: "Anyone who comes here for the first time will say that." ”
Speaking in their mouths and not stopping under their feet, the three of them quickly blended into the orderly crowd, and entered the vast space in front of them under the watchful eye of a group of soldiers wearing the insignia of the Holy See, and in order to speed up the flow of people, the crowd lined up in three columns.
"The Holy See is really not stupid. Bai Quartz said with great satisfaction.
Hai Jinsha snorted disdainfully, and mocked slightly: "It's just a little late?"
Bai Quartz smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just pointed to the lively scene in front of him and said: "Many people will be bound by the words 'underground ruins', and always think that this will be a dark and damp underground pit. ”
"As everyone knows, although thousands of years of exploration are not enough to explore this Giffen underground, these predecessors have left enough footprints for thousands of years - such as using the beginning of this naturally large and open ruins to develop a commercial area. ”
Xia Kucao glanced at the vendor next to him, and noticed that what he was selling was unusual.
"Most of the things sold here are more specialized exploration materials or rare minerals produced locally, and of course there are ordinary drinking water and medicine-related, but not much. Bai Quartz briefly introduced two sentences, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that we are in a hurry and don't have time to take you around, here...... There's something really amazing. ”
Bai Quartz was right, they did have something important, so Xia Kucao just looked at it for a while, then retracted his mind and looked at each other fixedly with Hai Jinsha.
Bai Quartz didn't hesitate, he directly took out a pen and paper to write something, and said as he wrote: "We came in a hurry, so I thought of some necessary supplies along the way, and you can buy them later." ”
Hai Jinsha took the paper handed by the other party, glanced up and down, and did not say anything.
"As for me...... I'm going to get some news, and we'll meet here in a quarter of an hour. ”
"Good. ”
......
A quarter of an hour later-
Xia Kucao shook the package in his hand at the white quartz who arrived first, and then a few cards flashed between his fingers, explaining: "Everything that can be sealed is here." ”
"Sealers are a great profession. Bai Quartz smiled and nodded, and then said, "There's news, follow me." ”
He walked around the two men behind him for a while, and in this way he traveled north for about twenty minutes, before he passed through the bustling market and came to a remote place away from the main road.
And there, a young man was waiting for them.
"The son of the ancient mountain dragon. White Quartz introduced.
Prunella's heart skipped a heavy beat.
The young man didn't say much, but left with a gloomy face and a few pounds on the rock wall, but before leaving, he said a few words to Bai Quartz with great caution - to this, Prunella and Hai Jinsha both turned their heads very tacitly and consciously, and did not participate.
Then a gap suddenly appeared in the rock wall, and the black hole seemed to be the gate to hell.
Bai Quartz took an object similar to a miner's hat in Hai Jinsha's hand, and then took out a piece of green fluorite, stuffed it into it and fixed it, forming a stable light source.
The air is fine here closest to the surface, but further down, it will become a little thinner, and no open flame can be used, so the first place on the list of white quartz is the fluorite that he fixed in Fangcai, and with the identity of Haijinsha, the choice is the first-class color on the market, so the light emitted by this fluorite is very bright, and the light green halo depicts the uneven shadows on the surrounding stone walls very clearly.
"So...... Say as you go. White Quartz left this sentence and walked into the darkness first.
Behind the crack in the rock is a small space, about three people can only be accommodated in parallel, there are obvious traces of artificial carving on the ground, the light emitted by the fluorite has a unique smell, the smell suddenly became strong in this small space, but with this smell, the three of them also saw the surrounding environment clearly.
The rock walls on both sides are as rough as a knife and axe, and a semi-natural and semi-artificially carved staircase leads to the ground, and the dust on the steps is so thick that you can mark a mark with a finger.
"It's an illusion. Seeing this movement of the prunella grass, Bai Quartz said this and went directly to the depths.
The appearance of the heir of the ancient mountain dragon was undoubtedly very convincing, and Hai Jinsha and Xia Kucao glanced at each other, and then followed.
The light from the miner's hats above the trio's heads stretched down the road, and the air quickly broke away from the humidity of the outside world and became dry, and it was difficult to hear anything in the silent underground except for the rustling footsteps of the group.
The path of this branch road extends in all directions, what is more confusing is that these paths have artificial traces, and the appearance is very similar, it is difficult to distinguish the real road, but the white quartz who leads the way has never had too much hesitation, every fork in the road, he always stops slightly, and then he can walk on one of the roads without hesitation, and unlike the summer dry grass and sea sands, which are always stumbling behind them, the white quartz walking in the middle is really a bit like a fish in water.
Bai Quartz knew that the two people behind him couldn't get used to this low and oppressive environment quickly, but as he said before, they were in a hurry, so he couldn't slow down, and he could only let the two behind him get used to it.
Xia Dry Grass and Hai Jinsha didn't care too much about the difficulties in the journey, but one of them was just an ordinary commoner before and after the crossing, and the other was a blue-blooded nobleman who was born to receive various aristocratic education in order to be calm and calm at all times, but after all, they had never had the experience of exploring in the wilderness, and they were a little nervous, and it was inevitable that they would have some strange ideas, and now their spirits were too concentrated and they were actually just overdrawing their physical strength, so after walking for a while, White Quartz began to talk to them.
"Let me briefly describe the possible actions that the other party may take. ”
White Quartz didn't look back, but whispered so.
