Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dungeon
Near here is a pile of rocks, all kinds of large and small boulders are scattered in the surrounding thousands of square meters, and there are stone pillars towering in it, in the distance is a vast world, and overhead is a flickering fluorescent "sky", so that there is some faint light here, not a dark.
It looks like a real world, and it's not recognizable at all, it's just darker.
Behind him was a cliff wall, with large and small cracks, and the cracks in which they came looked inconspicuous, and no one would have imagined that there was a passage to the surface.
Queenie stared at the "sky" above her for a while, and sighed, "I didn't think that the real underground world was like this, it really looked like a real world, and I thought that the underground world was like a dwarven mine." ”
The dark elf turned his head and said, "Although the underground world is deep underground, it is completely different from the surface, but it is a real world, and the dwarves can only be called caves, not worlds. ”
Although she doesn't live very well in the underground world, she doesn't want people to denigrate the place where she lives, maybe she once longed for the flowers and sunshine on the surface, but she will not blindly belittle the place where she has lived. This makes Jiayi's memory ripple a little, unlike some people, it seems that only by devaluing the place where they grew up is useless, they seem to be superior.
Although the time spent in this world has exceeded that of the previous life, it may be preconceived, and the memories on Earth have not only not faded with time, but have become more and more intense in a little aftertaste.
The dark elves began to introduce them to the underworld, the "sky" above their heads is the astral moss, the astral moss can always emit a faint fluorescence, providing a faint light to the underworld, and at the same time providing light for the plants in the underworld, it can be said that the astral moss is the basis for the existence of the underworld.
Not any wide underground space can become an underground world, there are two necessary conditions, one is that there must be geothermal heat, which is the basis of the underground energy source, and the other is the astral moss, which can only use the geothermal heat to emit light, provide lighting and support plants.
Astral moss itself has a cycle of illumination, but not all astral moss has a cycle, so the light above the head is always flickering, just like a real starry sky.
There is no day or night in the underworld, but because of the crowds, most people will sleep at about the same time, and the little light provided by the starlight moss does not have to worry about the light being too strong to sleep.
Jia Yi untied the shackles on the dark elf, the dark elf got up and glared at Jia Yi dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything, his eyes were red, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, and tears almost flowed out.
She forcibly withdrew her tears, felt a little bitter in her throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "You guys, you change your clothes to hide your face, this is not the ground, your appearance is too eye-catching, it will definitely cause trouble." ”
Jia Yi and Queenie were as good as flowing, changed into black robes, put on a hood, and their whole faces were hidden in the hood, as if there was a layer of mist, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. This is almost a common method for mages, to hide their face, and they don't have to worry about the hood falling off and revealing their appearance.
Kaichi took out a few gold nuggets from the storage bracelet and threw them to the dark elf: "Okay, you take us to the dungeon, we will also abide by the agreement, this is your reward, we will not bully children." ”
These gold nuggets are all experimental materials, and they are of high purity, and they are more suitable as her reward than gold coins.
The dark elf hurriedly caught the gold nugget, sniffed, and quickly put it away, and his mood immediately changed, and he said arrogantly: "Hmph! Who is the little girl, you must know, I am much older than you, and it is enough to even be your grandmother." ”
The lifespan of the dark elves is much longer than that of humans, although it is not as good as the forest elves, but it also has a lifespan of hundreds of years, although according to the algorithm of the dark elves, she is indeed not yet an adult, but when it comes to age, it is not much worse to say that grandmothers.
The Dark Elves live in a harsher environment, and in proportion, they actually reach adulthood earlier.
The elf took Jiayi and them to the dungeon, and she introduced this underground world: "This is the Sleepless City, the Lord of Lux leads the Sleepless City, there is a volcano to the north of us, it is said that there is a magma flowing out all the way to the surface, and the Sleepless City is based on the volcano. Legend has it that there is a passage in the rocky wilderness to the south that leads to Dire, a truly great city, and legend has it that the lord is a legend. ”
She said with a look of longing on her face, as if she fantasized that she could also become the lord of a city. Just looking at this sky, it is better to call it Sleepless City than to call it Eternal Night City, or is it because there is no day in the underground world, so there is no concept of night?
"What about your Nightless City, what kind of strength is this Lux?" Jia Yi asked, if Luxs also has legendary strength, then forget it, just take a look outside the city from a distance and know where the dungeon is, if Lux's strength is average, then go to the city for a walk.
"Grand Lord Lux..."The Dark Elf was silent for a moment, and thought about it carefully, "I don't know what the exact strength of Grand Lord Lux is, but five years ago, an adult Shadow Bear went berserk and attacked Nightless City, and was killed by Lord Lux, and it seemed to be easy. But it shouldn't be a legend, at least the legend won't stay in our city that never sleeps. ”
The dark elf said as he led Jiayi and them in the direction of the city, there were no pedestrians along the way, and the surroundings seemed very barren, the ground was full of stones, there was no grass and trees, only occasionally some fungi could be seen.
However, none of these are edible fungi, either dry as dead wood, or highly poisonous, and almost everything that can be eaten on the ground has been found and eaten.
Soon they meet the dungeon, and that's when Kaichi finally understands why the Dark Elves say that Lux is not a legend anymore.
The scale of the Nightless City looks very small, Jia can see the whole picture of the Nightless City as soon as he flies into the air, the city wall is not high, but it looks like four or five meters, and the whole looks like it is only one or two thousand people, and it is already a little crowded. Even from the perspective of the underworld, this is a small city. Above the surface, even some bustling towns have more people than that.
However, the dungeon is not very populated, and due to geographical restrictions, the scale of the city is already smaller.
