Vol 2 Chapter 53: Lost civilization

The cave is dark and dark, with only the faint rays of stars and fluorescent moss, almost no fingers can be seen, but Lucian has moonlight pedigree and dark vision, as long as it is not completely without light, you can see it clearly.

In the dark and deep pupils, the reflection of Angus' spirit was reflected, like a candle that shed tears, wobbled and finally extinguished.

"The Lord will return to recovery?" Lucian repeated in a low, solemn tone, which was the most impressive memory of Angus's anger.

He accompanied this sentence, and its mood was violent ups and downs, full of awe, reverence, excitement and joy.

"A real change has really taken place in the depths of the Necropolis ... is the true immortal being about to revive?"

Of course, Lucian would not consider the "lord" in Angus's mouth to be the **** of truth in the church. He must be the object of worship of these higher-level dead souls in the necropolis world, but whether the "lord" is a true **** or something like The existence of Etna, the ancestor of the vampire, or a virtual one, is a symbol of some kind of change in the undead world.

Without the ability to manipulate souls and memories as dominated by undead souls, it is absolutely impossible to get all the details from the higher-level undead "minds", even because Lucian is not very close to its ranks and is not good at magic in this regard, even a little more detailed None of the memories can be read. The only thing that is certain is that great changes have indeed taken place in the depths of the necropolis. If it is allowed to develop, very bad results are likely to occur in the future.

The acquisition of this information dispelled most of Lucien's suspicions about Rhein, but he still held the task of doing what he could and could not do or reluctantly. After all, he was only a high-level magician. It is too reluctant to enter this legendary event that seems to subvert the world. If the danger is too great, it is better to risk submitting to the highest jury. There are seven great arcanists and eleven legendary magicians standing on it, and they will feel that A lot of peace of mind.

"This high-level undead turned out to be Felipe's summoned creature. Hey, he doesn't know the weirdness of the necropolis and his contracted creature ..." Lucian shook his head with a smile, except for the message "The Lord will return to recovery" Angus's deepest memory was to laugh at Felipe's arrogance and curse, and curse another high-level undead called Ador who was purified by the theology of truth and killed by the legendary magician.

Thinking of this, Lucian couldn't help sneering, "The pale hands do seem to know that the Necropolis exists, but they have concealed this information and wanted to explore on their own. Unfortunately, it seems that it has been used by higher-level undeads. Cheated. "

"If this task is not completed, find a way to evoke the higher-level undead in the pale hand hidden inside, and expose the existence of this strange world to the rest of the magic council to unveil it. However, in this way, you will offend the soul master and the demigod, and if there are other ways to go, don't take such a risk. "

Of course, in comparison, it is much safer to report the situation when Lucien directly took advantage of the highest jury meeting.

Grasp the right hand slowly, a bright flame burned silently in Lucian's palm, completely destroying the remaining spiritual dust of Angus, and Lucien carefully treated the traces of nearby battles carefully to avoid Traced by other high-level undead in the necropolis.

完 After doing all this, Lucian continued to go deep into the ground with the help of "looking at the demon eye" and the alert.

西 In the glimmering darkness, Lucien walked in countless forks for more than ten minutes. Gradually, the air became a little warmer, and the sound of a dark river flowing in his ears.

Knowing that he had approached the dwarf's underground city, Lucian became more cautious, turning cautiously carefully, and now he was cheerful and cheerful.

This is a huge passageway, which is seven or eight meters high and twenty or thirty meters wide. The ground and the walls on both sides are covered with large gray stone bricks. A dark black stone pillar stands in the center, supporting the top and dividing the channel into After three, looking at one glance, it gave a grand and shocking feeling. The dwarves have dug such a huge passage underground, what should their city look like?

According to historical documents, the ancient dwarves did not have any magic, nor did they have a strong bloodline!

Pieces of fluorescent moss grow wantonly on the ground and on the walls on both sides, reflecting the channel with dim green light, shy, hazy, it seems that at any time, a corpse will crawl out, a ghost floats, full of Quiet and gloomy atmosphere.

After careful exploration with peeping eyes, Baluchien stepped into the passage. The sound of footsteps was unusually slight, but clear and audible. Da da da, da da da, the echo was vented in the passage, empty and deserted.

Controlled his body, Lucian speeded up, footsteps disappeared, and the whole person ran without breaking away from the scope of peeping eyes.

On both sides of the aisle, two black metal tracks were paved, which seemed to be used by special vehicles for transporting goods. Lucien hurried forward along them and soon saw the exit of the passage faintly.

Balusian slowed his steps subconsciously, and was cautious, but from the news of peeping at the magic eye, you can see that there is a group of dead buildings in front of them, which are located in a huge cave that has been artificially transformed.

He specifically left the cave wall or stone pillars to support the cave roof, which naturally divided the cave into more than ten blocks. Tall stone houses or collapsed or weeds overlooked the streets for thousands of years without the owner walking.

What's troubling is that these stone houses are connected by a metal pipe. They protrude from any place in the house, meet in a huge metal pipe at the top of the cave, and then extend over the tall buildings with countless chimneys. Then climbed up and pierced into the top of the cave, I do not know where to go.

I walked on the cold and cold street, and Lucien saw from time to time that familiar metal objects such as bearings, springs, pistons, gears appeared on the ground, just like returning to the earth and entering a machinery factory.

A faint light flashed in the black grass in front. Lucian bent down and picked it up like an archeologist. This is a huge steam rifle with the thickness of a bazooka. Although the gear structure has been rusted and corroded, it can still be seen They are intricate and sophisticated, and are also attached to a half-man steel high-pressure steam backpack.

Stroking the icy rusty gun body that was about to break, Lucian sighed softly, because it represented the disappearance of an ancient civilization.

之前 Before human development, the dwarves who were good at craftsman invented various steam engines and established a brilliant steam civilization.

Compared with their small size, that only one airship can cover the sky, a steam engine ship sailing in the storm channel and the endless ocean, and a terrorist cannon that can be stuffed into several people. The steam rifle, like a monster smelting steel smelting factory and machinery manufacturing factory, are so huge, as if made for the dragons.

The dwarves did not have deep theoretical guidance, and just relying on the smelting and manufacturing talents and the summing up of experience, they slowly and magically developed the steam civilization. With the knowledge of various mechanical forging and design, even the legendary alchemist Crow The improved magic steam train and the airships used by the church and the magic council refer to the heritage of the dwarves in part of the structure, but they are instead driven by magic and divine power, which will make the huge airships and steam Trains have become normal size, more practical and cheaper.

It is a pity that this civilization has been lost. If it was not for the records in the High Arcane and Magic Library, Lucian would have no way of knowing it. Even Lazar, a knowledgeable magician who had grown up in the Magic Council, would never have known. I have heard that it is believed that humans first invented the steam train and used it to transport goods. Of course, the magic steam train was indeed the first invention of Clos.

Because there is no such question as Douglas's deafening question, the dwarf's steam invention has reached a stagnation after it has developed to a certain stage, and the magical creatures in the dark mountains periodically expand outward to teach them the lessons of blood. Creatures are not a concept with the low- and medium-level magical creatures they bullied in the past. They cannot rely on steam rifles and giant cannons at all. In less than two decades, the glorious steam civilization has fallen to the ground.

However, the underground is not suitable for the development of steam civilization. In addition to the existence of many monsters and hunters, after experiencing the era of dragon rule, natural spirit civilization, and the rise of werewolves, probably the early period of the ancient magic empire, steam civilization completely died out, The dwarves left on the ground have been transformed by the crazy magicians to have blood power, spiritual power, and re-development of the kingdom.

But compared with the past dwarven civilization, they are fundamentally different. Although they are equally good at smelting, they are just as easy to give birth to alchemists.

"Without the strength to protect your civilization, you can only die in the long river of history. Who else remembers except the learned magician, the long-lived vampire, the dragon, etc.?" Lucian sighed gently, feeling quite complicated .

The water of the long river of history seems clear, but under its surface, I do not know how many brilliant civilizations and powerful men have been submerged.

Put down the huge steam rifle, Lucian continued to move forward, from time to time to bend to pick up the relics of this lost civilization, there are silver coins with strange hammers and gears, and "Elementary Mechanical Forging", "Steam Rifle Manufacturing Method", " Detailed Explanation of Several Steam Engines, "Anatomy of a Steam Engine Ship", and other books that are dusty and nearly decayed, and there are also various mechanical creations full of unique styles.

"Fortunately, the dwarven characters are better preserved. Today's dwarven languages ​​are not much different from these characters." Lucian flipped through several books and saved them into the Soul Library according to his habit.

After walking a few minutes in the "Lost Civilization", Lucien saw a huge metal "golem" lying on the ground, leaning halfway on the tall factory building, so he stopped and carefully observed its exposed internal mechanical structure. .

魔 "Golem", the last sustenance of the dwarves of steam civilization.

They wanted to create such a powerful war weapon to defeat the horrible magical creatures. Unfortunately, the slow golems failed to defeat them as they wished. Instead, they inspired later magicians and developed various powerful golems.

Suddenly, a sharp voice fed back into Lucian's soul, and the crystal ball in his palm suddenly dim.

A peeping magic eye has been dropped!

Alas, alas! A wailing cry sounded, and the footsteps were so densely numb that they numbed.

Balusian raised his head and saw a thick pale tentacle sticking out in a distant factory building, and then a disgusting monster got out.

Its upper body looks like a plump old woman, obese and ugly, with two small slit-like eyes flashing a fierce ray of light, and its huge **** are full of black and white eyes. The lower body is like a white octopus, which grows out. One by one the tentacles with suckers.

"Nest Mother"!

This is the horrible and disgusting "nest mother".

One can create tens of thousands of fallen monsters, and if there is not enough food, the fallen monsters will swallow each other or develop towards the ground.

它 Under its call, tide-like fallen monsters came from all directions, and it was already difficult to count them. There were even many shooters and talent warlocks that could attack from a distance.

Kushiro raised his right hand and rubbed the badge on his chest. Suddenly, if a crystal halo diffused to the surrounding area, it quickly developed to the range of 500 meters.

The terrible blizzard set off, frost condensed on the fallen monsters, and then the ice sculptures fell apart in the wind.

As soon as the bone and arrow shot from the distance entered the range of the aura of ice and snow, the layers of ice froze, and they were unable to fall.

The magic of missiles, cobwebs, rays, etc., either was crushed directly by the blizzard, or was disturbed in the wrong direction by *.

Kushiro moved forward quickly, and the halo shifted as he dashed. The tall buildings of the dwarves were frozen by the frost, and the fallen monsters fell to the ground like grass in the wind.

The nest mother noticed that it was wrong, and her tentacles stretched out, and she started to climb and jump. The dense black and white eyes came out of acid, cobwebs, and fog.

But these supernatural forces solidify and fall to the ground as soon as they enter the range of Frost Aura, and break into powder.

After a few seconds, Lucian caught up with the mother of the nest, and its action was slowed immediately, as if the tentacles had been frozen into ice.

At the same time, under the action of the blizzard, a few cracks of frozen cracks appeared on its body, and the black juice became ice as soon as it flowed out.

Crackling, thirty seconds later, the struggling nest mother was completely broken.

I waited until Lucian's rushing stopped, the frost halo effect disappeared, and the whole dwarf city was covered with frost, black and white, and became empty and silent again.

"The magical clearance effect is really good, but it is easy to accidentally hurt teammates." Lucian nodded slightly and shook his head.

Uh ...

After searching for more than ten minutes, Lucian finally found a space node in a hall of the dwarf city It is actually a twisted space crack, surrounded by dwarves who are poorly arranged like magic circles and Something like an altar.

"It seems that at the end of the steam civilization, the dwarves also started to learn from magical creatures like humans, but the effect of 'inertia' was not great." Lucian once again sighed, witnessing the loss of civilization, Arcanist always feels complicated.

Look carefully at the poor magic array, Lucien took out the material, repainted it and engraved it again, and at the same time, his heart raised the worry. Will he be lost in the chaotic space of space by relying on this magic array?

Like the different space occupied by the magic council, the nine-ring magic “gates of the other world” are arranged near the nodes, which can facilitate the stable communication between a large number of people and materials, and the worst node transmission matrix that uses space gaps is also at least It belongs to the middle order, so seeing this seemingly low-level clumsy magic array, how could Lucian not be worried.

I studied it carefully and determined that the space gap was stable. Lucien himself took out the material and rearranged the node transmission array. At the same time, I was glad that I had thought of the worst case in advance.

This arrangement is that for three full days, Lucien got up and moved his body, and then set himself on a layer of defense, because it is not clear what the opposite is after the teleportation has passed. We must know that Rhein has not used it for hundreds of years. Past this node.

Get ready, Lucien stepped into this extra-dimensional space that was once occupied by dwarves but quickly conquered by vampires-"Night Plateau"! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give rewards to the mobile network (), your support is my biggest motivation.)
