Chapter 53 Clockwork City
"Drip, drip, drip. The target creature, unknown, goblin similarity, forty-seven percent, golden clan similarity, sixty-nine percent, primate monster similarity, forty-three percent, judged as unknown organisms."
"Di, unknown creatures, you are about to enter the controlled area of Clockwork City. Please show your identity within thirty seconds. If your identity is not indicated within the time limit, the Legion-level war colossus will be activated."
"Drip, the timing begins."
"That's all." Panis retelled: "That's all the goblins just now, but fortunately I can understand it. It seems that we have arrived at a place called Clockwork City. But we have never heard of this city in history. It's probably a small city."
"I'm more curious about Clockwork City or something." Seeing something new, Lina had long forgotten to shout tired and asked curiously: "What is the Golden Clan? Is it a unique race in the Goblin Age?"
"No, the Golden Clan refers to the Gods and Nation tribes in the First Age." Moore explained: "In the Goblin era in the Second Age, some survivors of the Gods and Nation tribes survived. They were immortal and immortal, and they lived with the Goblins, but these were not the strongest people among the Gods and Nation tribes, so they did not survive the Gods and Nation tribes at the end of the Second Age and all died at that time, and the Golden Clan no longer exists."
"Well, that is to say, the humanoid creatures of our generation are very similar to the Golden Clan in the First Age." Lina nodded and said, "It's 69% similarity."
"It looks very similar, but it is very different in nature." Panis sighed: "Even the weak among the gods, they are very powerful for the humanoid creatures today."
"I said, you are not paying attention to it right." Ben'en, who had a slightly irritable temper, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "They shouldn't be concerned about the Golden Clan now. He should be concerned about the Legion-level war statue. Although he doesn't know what it is, it sounds very powerful. Is it okay for you to be so indifferent?"
"Ben, read more in the future." Teresa said dissatisfiedly: "The Legion-level war colossus is a kind of war machine for goblins. It not only sounds powerful, but also is also powerful. It is said that some aspects have legendary combat power, which is quite terrible. I don't know how to be a qualified church guard? So after I go back this time, I will be punished to read miscellaneous books for one hour a day."
"Yes..." Ben hung his head with a sad face: "But what does qualified church guards have to do with goblin puppets? And, in the end, I don't know what that thing is."
"It is a giant metal puppet with a height of eight meters and a weight of more than ten tons." Panis explained: "It has a very high hardness, and its defense can be close to the strength of the legendary high-level fighting air shield, and its attack power is also very high. It is also equipped with a medium-powered goblin bomb, which is a very powerful puppet. But don't worry, this puppet has one of the biggest weaknesses, which is that it is very slow. Under normal circumstances, it cannot keep up with our actions, and it is even more impossible to catch up with us who want to avoid it."
"Huh? That's not bad?" Lina exclaimed, "We're looking for a place to camp. If this thing keeps chasing behind, it's impossible to stop and rest. Ahhhh. I'm so tired. Find a way to let me rest. You incompetent servant. Hurry up."
"Don't worry, as long as we enter the city, we can get rid of it." Panis didn't care about the puppet's problem at all, and replied easily: "The goblins will not be stupid enough to let the metal puppet destroy everywhere in the city where they live, so there must be restrictions on the puppet and will not let it chase into the city above."
"That... although I don't want to disturb you, I have to ask a question." Marcia, who has been implementing the instructions but waiting for the meal to start, suddenly said: "It's been four thirty seconds now. Where is the puppet?"
"Well, really. Where is the puppet?" Panis was stunned and looked at each other blankly: "Why haven't you come out yet?"
"It seems that there is really not." Moore carefully identified the sound in the sewer, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible to hear its sound nearby, it's broken."
"This is unlikely, don't forget the clean puppets." Panis said: "But it is true that the giant puppet did not appear. Maybe it was because of some reason that it was stuck in a certain position and there was no way to come. But this happened to be just right, we can easily enter the Clockwork City."
Following a pipe that clearly felt tilted upward, everyone quickly walked out of the range of the water reaching and saw this ancient goblin city for the first time. Before the demise of the Clockwork City, the permanent population was 6,000, covering an area of 17 square kilometers. Both for goblins and humans, this city was considered a relatively small city. But after ten thousand years, these people who first set foot on the territory of this city were shocked when they saw the city because they saw nothing.
Because of the existence of fluorite belts in the sewer, no other lighting facilities were needed. But when everyone climbed up along a ten-meter-deep shaft and lifted a manhole cover made of goblin metal, it turned black before their eyes. It was not until Pannis hurriedly turned on the high-power crystal energy lamp that everyone understood a little part of the appearance of the city.
For ten thousand years, due to geological changes, most of the ancient city was covered with soil layers hundreds of meters thick. For some reason, about one square kilometer of the area, fortunately, did not completely cover the soil, but left a hole about five meters high at the highest point, giving people the opportunity to see it again. The city is not big, but it is covered with high-rise buildings unique to the goblins. The tops of these buildings that are often over 100 meters high have been swallowed up by soil layers, leaving only two floors of space at the bottom for later generations to move.
"Huhu, is this a goblin city?" Lina stood in this city with theoretically silver-white color, using the light of the crystal energy lamp to measure the visible range around her.
The location where everyone was, ten thousand years ago, was a relatively prosperous street in the city. The street was seven or eight meters wide. There were several crystal energy motorcycles scattered upside down on the street. On both sides of the street were two rows of sparse crystal energy street lights, and a few shops that couldn't understand the name even further on both sides.
But the most impressive thing on the street is not these, but corpses of various postures. The small corpses are shorter gnomes at first glance. There are not many corpses, but they are quite messy. These corpses often maintain their posture when they were alive. They were driving, but they were rushing to the middle of the street, and those who were rushing to the road, but they fell on both sides of the street. Those who were working, fell on their jobs, and those who were resting, fell on their own beds. The city in front of them seemed to have suddenly fallen into a deep sleep in an instant, without any preparation time for the residents of the city. Everyone entered death at almost the same time. There was no wound, no struggle, and no preparation in advance. Just in an instant, death came.
"Why is this happening?" Teresa saw this and covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Even if she encounters an irresistible natural disaster, people will have seconds or even dozens of seconds to struggle for their lives, but the people here don't even have these seconds, just like there is no process, directly from the state of life to the state of death."
"Do you remember the reason for the demise of the goblin?" Panis moved the crystal energy lamp in his hand little by little, allowing the light to illuminate the light to continue to move forward: "The demise of the goblin is due to the punishment of the gods."
"What is the God's punishment?" Lina asked incomprehensiblely: "I always thought it had come to a natural disaster around the world. But now it seems that this is not the case."
"I don't know what divine punishment is, after all, I've never experienced it." Panis shook his head and said, "But from everything in front of him, divine punishment is not a natural disaster, but an attack that takes effect instantly, targeting the soul. Such an attack will make people die without warning without knowing the reason until death, just like these goblins."
"This kind of thing is really terrible." Lina obviously thought of more things: "Under God's punishment, the goblins instantly reduced from 2.1 billion people at their heyday to less than 100,000 people. These 100,000 people are still distributed around the world, and a city often has only one or two survivors. What kind of mood do you think of these people who survived by chance?"
Everyone shivered subconsciously. They couldn't imagine what it would feel like when they woke up one day and found that they were the only living person in the whole city. Others, relatives, friends, or even enemies, were inexplicably trapped in death. However, compared to maintaining rationality and not going crazy, it was already a manifestation of spiritual perseverance.
"Hey, don't sigh." At some point, Panis had already squatted beside several corpses and flirted with the bodies. At this time, he waved to everyone and said, "Come and see, what I found."
Perhaps because the area was relatively dry ten thousand years ago, these corpses were magically not rotten, but were naturally dried and dehydrated, forming something like mummy. The clothes that the corpses originally wore looked well preserved, but when they approached, the breeze brought by blowing, the clothes that looked finished would be blown into powder. Although the clothes that the corpses had disappeared during their lifetime, some of the items they originally carried were retained with special texture, such as keys, jewelry, gadgets, etc.
But what Penis is obviously not referring to, and Penis is holding a thin card made of crystals to show everyone.
"What is this?" Lina asked curiously: "It seems like something very important."
