Vol 2 Chapter 57: dream
Anyway, he is also a “big musician” who has seen the prayers of truth theology. Lucien on the altar quickly understood that these beggar-like dwarfs regarded themselves as their “god of steam” and “lord of life and death”. The worship, the piety of the attitude, can almost be compared to mad believers.
"Here is the night plateau, once occupied by dwarves and later conquered by vampires."
"It should be a descendant of the dwarf of the steam civilization, and there is one that has not been destroyed, and the vampire has been raised as a 'ox and sheep', a miner, and a blacksmith."
"They were probably dwarf escapers, and accidentally found the remains of this ancestor. As a result, they used the space teleportation array as an altar, and the incomplete information of the dwarves trying to 'learn' magic at the end of steam civilization as 'summoning gods.' Manual '. So I teleported it over during a ritual to worship the gods? "
"The vampires seem to have come to annihilate them. After I killed them with‘ Elemental Order ’and‘ Immortal Return ’, they believe more that I am the so-called‘ God of Steam ’and‘ Master of Life and Death ’.”
The brain was moving at a rapid speed, and it didn't take long for Lucien to sort out the approximate cause and effect of the incident based on prayers, the situation, previous encounters, and surrounding murals.
"Use magic to make them forget this memory, so as not to expose this node after being caught by vampires?" Lucian's first response was confidentiality.
But looking around, Lucien saw the iron furnaces, steam sledgehammers, and other items in the left and right rows of rooms, and his heart suddenly moved: "They still have basic knowledge of steam civilization? Can they carry out more complex smelting?"
"If the alchemy items are to be simplified and popularized, will there be a shortage of skilled 'workers' who can cast gears and the like? If a large number of dwarves join in and 'pass the belt', the initial problem will be solved."
Because of the long-term monopoly of alchemy items by magicians, the parliament is reluctant to allow hard-trained apprentices to engage in similar manual labor. Holm and other countries have few ordinary people except ordinary blacksmiths who can join the alchemy. This problem has always troubled Lucien, who wanted to popularize alchemy items-this not only allows him to obtain huge wealth, but also shakes the foundation of the church's faith.
Originally, it took several generations of cultivation and influence to establish a relatively large-scale "working class", but the emergence of the descendants of the dwarven people of steam civilization gave Lucian the dawn of a preliminary solution within a generation.
"God of Almighty Steam, may your supreme name spread throughout the world!" The dwarf's reverent prayers drifted into Lucian's ears, allowing him to quickly plan, "Just let them be magic councils in the name of the gods. Effectiveness, so as to ensure their loyalty to the greatest extent, they will not escape to the dwarven kingdom after being rescued, leak the core information of the alchemy items, and have the instructions of the gods, making it easier for them to sign a magic contract. "
Although the life-saving grace and magic contract can basically solve the problem, after all, most of the dwarves will become the vampire food, the slaves, or the "new era industrial workers". They will definitely choose the latter without hesitation. At least not a desperate contract, but since there is a better way to add another insurance, Lucian will not refuse.
"I still have tasks to complete, and the teleportation array arranged by this space node cannot be sent out on a large scale. Frequent startups are easy to be found by the vampire prince. It is better to let them continue to" latent "in the night plateau and develop more kinsmen , The number is still too small. "
Balussian decided to wait for her mission to be completed, and then find a parliament to apply for the layout of the "gates of the other world". At that time, he would take away the dwarves willing to follow, to avoid a direct outbreak of war with the vampires.
If the magic council suddenly fights vampires and fights for the night plateau, then it must be the southern church that dreams to wake up with a smile.
As for the dwarf casualties caused by this, Lucien can still make a cold decision despite his reclusive heart. How can he want to be "liberated" without paying the price of blood? This kind of thing is not a treat for dinner!
The four-ring magic "Advanced Stealth" will not be released during the attack, so the transparent Lucian takes a crystal-like liquid from the storage bag and gently pulls out the stopper.
The dreamlike liquid instantly turned into colorless and tasteless air covering the hall.
Uh ...
Ecstasy, gratitude, and excitement make the dwarves keep praying and repeating prayers, as if a happy new life is going to really begin, what a life without the cruel slavery and murder of vampires?
Suddenly, Harold felt the breeze blowing through him became slightly hot, and opened his eyes, surprised to see the gray stone bricks of the underground palace in front of him turned into yellow hot sand.
"Go, find my country in the depths of the desert."
"Go, there is everything you want."
The grand, ethereal, majestic and sacred voices came from the misty sky, letting dwarves such as Harold lay their heads down again, and cling to the burning sand: "Respect your holy name and practice your will, our supreme Lord Ah, you dominate everything in the world. "
After a long while, no more noise came. The elder raised his head cautiously and humbly, and saw that the underground palace had become a boundless desert of yellow sand, and the oasis was hidden in the distance.
"Is this the power of the gods?" The same question was raised again from the dwarf, but this time it was full of awe and worship.
The scorching wind was blowing on the face, and the dwarf stood idly in the place, shocked by the desert scenery that I have never seen but heard, and by the endless rolling billowing yellow sand.
"That's the sun? Is this the day?" Harold muttered to himself as he watched the white and hot fireballs in the sky, awakening the elders and other dwarfs, yeah, this is completely different from the night plateau!
After a while, Mirna, the dwarf girl, wondered confusedly, "elder elder, where shall we go?"
哪里 "Where to go?" The elder stunned for a moment, and soon thought of the **** of the steam god, "Let's go deep in the desert! Go and find the Lord's heaven on earth!"
Hearing the elder's emotional and emotional words, Harold was excited: "Elder, can we get the full inheritance of steam civilization there? I want to build a city of steam as you described!"
"Yeah, elder, like Harold, I want to see the forest-like black chimneys, I want to see the airship that can fly freely like a bird with the power of steam, I want to see the horrible The giant ship and cannon. "Quiggins shuddered with excitement, this is their highest dream of these dwarven rebels who have been incompletely inherited by chance, a giant steam city that symbolizes glory and glory!
Looked at Mirna, who was sturdy and flushed, and looked at other dwarfs with red eyes and beard shaking, the elder shouted:
"The Lord of Great Life and Death tells us that there we can get everything!"
"Go deep into the desert!"
"Steam is supreme! Go deep into the desert!" The remaining dwarves answered in unison, majestic and mighty.
Uh ...
There is no specific road, no clear instructions, but the dwarves seem to be able to vaguely feel that there is something calling in the distance, so none of them lost their way and walked hard in the desert.
I don't know how long it has been. The dry and hot sun and the strong wind mixed with yellow sand gradually made the dwarves with strong bodies gradually understand the horrors of the desert, one by one with dry mouth and dizziness.
"Mirna, are you okay?" Harold saw the dwarf girl trembling beside her and quickly helped her.
Mierna gritted her teeth and shook her head: "I'm fine. This is the test of the Lord. I will stick to it and reach the kingdom of heaven on the earth!"
The firm words made the other dwarves who were beginning to feel difficult to straighten up again. Yeah, this is the test of the Lord. If even this suffering can't be sustained, why should I get the favor of the **** of steam?
Suddenly, the elder's rejoicing voice appeared in everyone's ears: "Look, look there!"
The dwarves followed the directions of the elder Augustus, looked far away, and saw a giant city in the oasis appearing in the sky.
"It's there! It's where the oracle instructs!"
找到 When I was in the most desperate and thirsty, I found "Qingquan", and the dwarves exploded all their enthusiasm, and quickly approached the fuzzy giant city.
I squinted to see that the distance was getting shorter and shorter, the city was getting clearer, and the sky suddenly sounded a huge roar.
The dwarves looked up and saw a horrible giant bird flying from the other side of the sky toward the giant city.
When the weird giant bird flew over their heads, the roaring sound became more harsh, making their ears hum, and they also saw the true colors of the strange bird.
It's not a bird, but a mechanical creature wrapped in a silver-white metal case!
Its size is so huge that it seems to be able to devour all the dwarves present.
怪 "Strange Bird" flies lower and lower, flies slower, and gradually disappears near the city.
"Elder, is this an airship?" Harold asked in shock, how different from murals?
Elder Grandma shook his head blankly: "It's not an airship. The airship is not so fast, but it must have been made!"
"So what is it?" All the dwarves seemed to be asking themselves.
Elder Grandma gritted his teeth and said, "It will be clear in the city."
As a result, the dwarves continued on the road, and silence fell on them, not knowing what else they would see when approaching the city.
The distance seemed to be much shorter than they thought. After ten minutes, they reached the edge of the oasis and could clearly see what the city looked like.
There was a loud inhalation sound coming from the dwarf team, this is a city beyond their imagination!
On the side of the city are their "familiar", "yearning" towering chimneys and strangely shaped factory buildings, and in other places in the city, towers higher than the chimneys, It is the most exaggerated legend of steam civilization, and no such high house has ever appeared!
These dense high-rise buildings are affixed with smooth wall tiles of different colors, including black, gray, silvery white, and brownish yellow. From top to bottom, there are neatly arranged transparent windows that reflect the sunlight , Bring out the flavor of fantasy.
There is a wide road between high-rise buildings and factories, and even land bridges are erected like water bridges.
On the bridge, on the road, there are strange cars made of steel one after another. They are smooth and full of beauty.
手上 One by one, the fuzzy figures guarding the edge of the city are holding metal things like steam rifles, but they are smaller and lighter.
Harold didn't know that his eyes could be so sharp, he clearly saw the slowly moving elevators in the building, and saw countless fuzzy figures holding strange machines and talking with their counterparts in another building.
Mierna also saw those blurred figures holding plate-shaped metal objects in her hand, and gently pressing on it, various scenes appeared on it, from a distant desert to a high-altitude overlook, as if there was another world inside!
Unconsciously, the night fell, and the lights in the city lit up, and soon they became brilliant. Looking from a distance, it is like a "galaxy" falling into the ground, bright and dreamy.
The dwarf was stunned by the unimaginable splendid city scene, unable to say a word for a long time.
Suddenly, a gap cracked in the ground on the edge of the city, and a "root" giant "metal flying arrow" sprayed flames into the distance Is this? "The dwarf's eyes looked subconsciously with the trajectory of the fire, and I don't know what the use of this giant" flying arrow "is.
Feijian fell to the ground, and the loud noise burst suddenly.
The dwarves only felt the ground shaking violently, their ears were buzzing, and a new sun appeared in the distance, glowing and dazzling, full of the destruction of the world.
The bright sun flickered, a giant "mushroom" slowly "opened" there, the ground flames were like hell, and the black smoke at high altitude was like an abyss.
"Really, really horrible." Harold swallowed a hard spit in the earth-shattering shaking. I am afraid that the "flying arrow" can directly destroy the "Night Plateau"?
Elder Grandma and the rest of the dwarves are also deeply fearful. They have never seen such a horrible explosion, and it seems to destroy all explosions!
They were so shocked that they looked back at the dreamy city again, watching the bright lights that flowed like a galaxy.
"Elder, where is this? Harold blurted out, scared and excited," This is more than the steam city you describe, even harder to imagine! "
这 "This, what kind of city is this? It is even more incredible than the legendary steam paradise!" Under the great shock, the rest of the dwarves have forgotten the purpose of coming here.
Mi Mirna murmured tremblingly throughout her body: "This is ..."
The grand majestic voice sounded again:
"This is Atlantis."
"This is my country." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give rewards to mobile phone (), your support is my greatest motivation.)
