Chapter 568 There is a cave beneath the seabed
Night has come, and Qi Ge, Petra, and Rhodes are sitting on the highest mountain in Rhode Island, blowing the sea breeze.
There is no rest in Rhode Island at night. For the fairies on the island, time is an extremely precious resource.
If this batch of garbage cannot be sorted before the next batch of garbage arrives, the newly arrived garbage will accumulate in the garbage port.
Some edible organic garbage will rot and deteriorate if left for a long time, and slimes will starve.
Once the slimes are hungry, the goblins will also be hungry.
Goblins have been racing against time for a long time.
Because of this, Rhode Island is still brightly lit at night.
The most indispensable thing on Rhode Island is combustibles, and some of them are garbage that can be burned.
These garbage burned quietly in the windproof fire made by the goblins, providing light to Rhodes Island.
It is difficult for garbage to burn fully, and it will always produce thick black smoke and odor.
This is also one of the main sources of persistent stench on the island.
The flickering light of the fire illuminated the desolate and lonely night, and also illuminated the busy figure of the goblin.
A sharp cold wind blew by, and Qi Ge raised his head and looked in the direction of the Falling Moon Leader.
At this time, the Falling Moon Territory was also as brightly lit as Rhode Island.
Looking at this scene, Qi Ge couldn't help but think of a poem in his mind:
"Thousands of houses are lit with lights and flutes are played on the road, and five nights of stars are spent gambling and drinking."
Ten Thousand Lights is an idiom that is supposed to be used for beautiful night scenes. This idiom is suitable to describe the Falling Moon Territory, but it is somewhat wrong to describe Rhodes Island.
The thousands of lights of the mages of Falling Moon Territory are the bright lights in various entertainment buildings.
Taverns, banquets, nursing hospitals, sensuality, extravagance and indulgence.
For mages who have tasted the beauty of the world, they have long lost their sense of ordinary enjoyment.
It is common for someone to scold someone for their arrogance and then to scold someone else for their arrogance.
At this point in time, for those mages, the wonderful nightlife has just begun.
At this moment, in the falling moon collar, the bright magic lamps are shining with colorful light accompanied by the music. The intoxicating drinks are exuding the aroma that confuses the mind. The men and women on the dance floor are swaying to the music.
On the Rhodes Island side, the windproof fires illuminated the goblins who had been busy all day long and continued to be busy at night.
While the mages were spending huge sums of money on meaningless antiques at the luxurious auctions, the fairies were pulling carts to transport heavy decomposed materials one basket at a time by the faint light of the fire.
While the mages were sipping the fine wine brought from Aveili with their feet up, the goblins were groping with their hands into the dark mud.
While the mages were pressing the beautiful and sexy bunny dancer to kiss and grope in the middle of the dance floor, the fairies were beaming with joy as they decomposed a rare material powder.
They are all lights, and the lights of the mages look so luxurious and noble.
And the goblins' thousands of lights never burn anything beautiful, and what they illuminate is never anything beautiful.
Rhode Island is a miracle, but this miracle does not come out of thin air.
One hundred and twenty thousand goblins, working 10 to 14 hours a day, for forty years.
Every brick, every machine, every building on Rhodes Island records the endless suffering of the goblins.
The super-efficient garbage collection system looks very spectacular and beautiful, but it is just making the most of waste that mages don't even care about.
If fairies want to get a crystal, they need to continuously sort out the garbage that can be used to make crystal powder from countless garbage, and then go through extremely complicated processing procedures and rely on the joint efforts of dozens of fairies to separate it from the garbage.
Crystal powder comes out.
A large bag of crystal powder can only be used to synthesize one crystal.
With any luck, one crystal will consume half a ton of garbage.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to separate even one crystal from tons of garbage.
When mages want crystals, they go to the crystal mines and harvest dozens of them. As for the exhausted goblin miners, it’s none of their business. They’ll replace them after they die. There are plenty of goblins.
There is an extremely terrifying gap between the efficiency of the two parties in acquiring resources.
If "turning decay into magic" was so easy to achieve, it wouldn't be called a miracle.
Can Rhode Island’s development model really last?
Can fairies really turn over after working so hard?
unable.
Nowadays, 10,000 tons of garbage every day can support 120,000 goblins, which has already reached the limit.
If the goblins want to develop and continue to increase the population and increase productivity, they must accept more garbage.
The initiative in garbage removal does not lie with the goblins at all, it is all controlled by the mage.
Taking a step back, even if the goblin really finds a way to get more garbage, so what?
10,000 tons of garbage are dumped on Rhode Island every day. It has been 40 years and Rhode Island has not been filled to capacity.
If the mage could observe carefully and calculate accurately like Rhodes, he should have discovered something was wrong long ago.
But currently, the mages have not discovered the problem because of their arrogance.
But as more and more garbage arrives, Rhodes Island is still able to accept it all, which will attract the attention of some caring mages sooner or later.
When the secret of Rhodes Island is discovered, disaster awaits the goblins.
Even the leftovers that the mages didn't want, the goblins couldn't live without.
It’s just that if you don’t feel comfortable eating, can the goblins not eat?
No, the goblins will starve to death if they don't eat.
This is the bloody truth after removing the fig leaf of the great miracle of Rhode Island.
If they had no choice, how could the goblins adopt such a lifestyle?
It can be said that the great miracle of Rhode Island was basically built up of the hard work and suffering of fairies.
However, suffering is not worthy of praise.
The goblins work so diligently and hard not to allow generations of goblins to continue to suffer and toil and remain precarious, facing disaster at any time.
Because they endure hardship and stand hard work, because they live in poverty and live happily, because they are kind and honest, should they chew up and swallow this unpalatable suffering in pain?
It shouldn't be.
The leprechaun dreams of seeing clouds made of marshmallows, the leprechaun dreams of seeing a river full of honey, and every year the leprechaun turns his most precious happy memories into candies to share with his companions.
Fairies also like to eat sweets.
But they have suffered too much.
Qi Ge's thoughts were surging and he closed his eyes.
The fairies living on Rhodes Island are happy.
They don't realize how unfair their lives really are.
Because they can't see the mage's feasting and feasting, and they don't know how to live a normal life.
They have lived like this since they were born, day after day, year after year, everyone is like this.
Rhodes Island is just a microcosm of the fairy clan.
In this huge Bracada, there are thousands of Rhode Islands.
The goblins are used to this, their resistance has been suppressed countless times, and their weak strength has long become numb.
"But, as a well-informed hero, as a chosen one of Yasha who shoulders the destiny, can I continue to watch them live like this without being moved?
I can not!"
“Fairies are diligent, pragmatic, hard-working, frugal, optimistic, cheerful, and kind…
Fairies have so many wonderful qualities.
Why do such an excellent race as goblins have to suffer so much?
Why do fairies, such an excellent race, have to be careful even to survive?
This isn't fair.
Starting from the Great Escape of the Goblins from Decheng, no, from much earlier, Brakada's prosperity was built on the sacrifices of countless goblins.
The goblins used their bodies and blood and tears to lift Brakada to the top of the nine major forces.
Yet they were feared, looked down upon, suppressed, bullied, ostracized, and plundered wantonly.
Titans, djinn gods, mages, these superior races took away everything that should belong to the goblins, and then stepped on the goblins' bodies and called them black iron bastards."
"The three sages, Cong Kelin, Pineapple Candy, Fur Cao, and the fairies, were not afraid of sacrifice for the fairies, and even dared to challenge the true god.
But if he can, he will devote all his energy to the goblin, travel through Bracada, scatter all his wealth, and save the goblin in danger.
Petra, on a thousand-mile journey to find the goblin’s final destination.
Rhodes, racking his brains to let the goblins live.
There are also the goblin pioneers in the echoes of history who risked their lives just to save their people.
The goblins have never lacked a backbone, they just lack external support that would allow them to gain momentum."
Qi Ge opened his eyes and let out a breath.
"I am that support."
"I am not a goblin, but many of my subjects are goblins, and I will have more and more subjects who are goblins in the future.
The subjects are the water, and the lord is the ship.
When the water rises among the people, the lord's boat becomes high.
The subjects are the grass and the lord is the umbrella.
If storms come, the lord will block them.
The affairs of my lord are my lord's affairs.
Lords should always fight for the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of their people.
Help the goblin, and I will do so in a legitimate way."
Qi Ge clicked on his task bar and pulled it down until he found his original silver-white main quest.
【The liberation of the fairies
True god level main quest
Mission requirements: First ring: Destroy the forces: Tower.
Mission reward: Unknown, unlock the mission The Rise of the Fairies.】
Qi Ge couldn’t explain why he accepted this extremely difficult task in the first place.
Maybe it's because you sympathize with the goblin's plight? Maybe it's because you're moved by Ke Ruoke?
But now, he is very clear.
"No reason, just so that my people can get the justice they deserve.
This is my duty and responsibility as a lord."
After thinking about everything, Qi Ge patted Petra on the shoulder and asked softly: "Petra, do you think I am a good lord?"
Petra was immersed in the joy of advancement. He heard Qi Ge's question and answered without thinking:
"Lord, what's your problem?
Of course you are a good lord!
Not only me, but all the citizens in the territory think so.
If you are not a good lord, who in the world of Yasha can be considered a good lord?"
"Um."
Qi Ge smiled slightly and promised seriously:
"Good lord, I will be."
Qige stood up and said to Rhodes:
"Rod, can you talk to me alone? I have something to discuss with you."
…
…
On the quiet mountain road, Seven Pigeons walked beside Rhodes without saying a word.
Rhodes scratched his head strangely and asked softly: "Lord, are you asking me to come out alone because there is something that is not convenient for you to say in front of Captain Petra?"
Qi Ge nodded, glanced at Rhodes, and then turned his head back.
He said calmly:
"Rhode, I know you are the backbone of the entire Rhode Island and are very busy.
You don't have much time, and I don't have much time, so I won't beat around the bush and tell the truth.
I can see that Rod Zhen is much smarter than other goblins.
Hundreds of thousands of goblins are walking the streets of six southern cities sorting out garbage, leaving more usable resources for Rhode Island.
Rhode Island deliberately allocates only a small amount of resources and leaves most of the resources converted from garbage for development.
These are all plans you made.
You could also tell that Petra was in a bad state, and without communicating with me, you took the initiative to find ways to comfort Petra and help her regain her fighting spirit.
Rod, your wisdom and emotional intelligence are much higher than those of normal fairies.
I can sense that you don't trust me like other goblins. Although you hide it very well, some details of your conversation with me cannot be hidden from my eyes.
I know the part you showed me is just the part you think you can show in front of me.
You hid some key information about Rhode Island from me."
Hearing this, Qi Ge saw from the corner of his eye that Rhodes' expression gradually stiffened.
This is followed by system prompts that keep sounding.
[System prompt: Rhodes’ favorability towards you is -10, currently 70 (enthusiasm)]
[System prompt: Rhodes’ favorability towards you -10,60 (trust)]
…
[System prompt: Rhodes’ favorability towards you -10,40 (doubtful)]
"Hey Lord Qi Ge, seeing how solemn you look, I thought you were going to say something to me.
This is just your paranoia. I trust you as much as I trust Captain Petra.
With my relationship with Captain Petra, how could I hide something from you?"
Rhodes smirked and started practicing Tai Chi, not wanting to be honest with Qi Ge.
Although he said so, the hints of favorability cannot deceive people.
Qi Ge shook his head and continued:
"Rod, you misunderstood, I don't mean to blame you.
Rather, what you did is correct.
The goblins are very kind and trust others easily.
But you are the leader of 120,000 goblins on Rhodes Island.
Life and death are at stake, and 120,000 goblins depend on your life. If you didn't know how to be vigilant and concealed, Rhode Island would have been destroyed long ago, and it wouldn't be as glorious as it is now.
Fighting for the general is like walking on thin ice.
You are burdened with the future of so many fairies, so you must be extremely cautious when making decisions."
Qi Ge stopped and turned around to face Rhodes and said:
"It doesn't matter, you don't trust me just because you don't know me well enough.
There is always a process for the growth of a trusting relationship.
From strangers, to familiarity, to talking about everything, this is human nature.
Besides, forty years have passed and you have witnessed the growth of Rhode Island. You understand better than other goblins that time will change everything.
You may still be unsure whether the Petra of today is the Petra of 40 years ago.
And even if Petra doesn't change, there's still a risk that I've deceived Petra.
Rather than letting these doubts become a stumbling block between us, it is better for me to expose your doubts and kick these stumbling blocks away."
Rhodes smiled, but he could no longer laugh.
He looked at Qi Ge, fear and panic in his eyes.
And his favorability towards Qige has dropped to 20 points in a short period of time.
Qi Ge was not shaken at all by the rapid decline in Rhodes' favorability.
He said solemnly:
"I can promise you that I will always stand firmly on the goblin's side in the past, present and future.
I am an eternal friend of the fairies."
"this……"
Rhode looked at Qi Ge and smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.
Of course, Qi Ge knew that it was not that easy to gain Rhodes' trust. He turned back, found a smooth stone to sit on, and continued:
"Rod, let me tell you a story about me and the goblins."
"Some are long, you can sit and listen.
Let’s start with the waterwheel that Petra and I met.”
Qi Ge described in detail how he and Petra got to know each other, and Petra's reaction when she joined the refugee camp.
He also recounted how shocked and moved he was when he saw Ke Ruoke for the first time.
He told Rhodes about the twists and turns when he helped Koroko search for Baiwei Fairy Candy.
He also told Rhodes that he was an architect and had returned to Decheng City and witnessed many details of the goblin escape from Decheng City.
Qi Ge also told Rhodes how he teleported tens of thousands of goblins back to his territory from Brakada without anyone noticing.
Qi Ge also introduced in detail the entire process of his successful restoration of the Fairy Forerunner.
Qi Ge told Rhodes the living conditions of the fairies in his territory in detail, and also told Rhodes everything he had done to complete the "path to the liberation of the fairies".
In the end, Qige even sang "Elf Epic: Utopia" and "Elf Epic: War Hymn" written by him in front of Rhodes.
Sometimes sincerity is useless because sincerity and stupidity are so similar that it is difficult to distinguish them.
But sometimes, sincerity is the last resort.
As Qi Ge narrated, Rhodes' favorability slowly rose from 20 points, and finally stopped at 70 points.
Rhodes looked at the seven pigeons and said with emotion:
"Lord, I didn't expect that you have such a deep connection with our fairy clan, and you are so kind to our fairy clan that I can't believe it.
If what you say is true, then I can understand why Captain Petra trusts you wholeheartedly.
To be honest, I thought you used magic or magic potion to control Captain Petra at first.
I even thought about whether to take action against you, imprison you and carefully check Captain Petra's mental condition.
It wasn't until Captain Petra's attitude towards you didn't change after he successfully advanced that I finally relieved some of my suspicions about you.
Fortunately, I didn't arrest you before, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit with you like this and listen to you talk about this calmly."
Qi Ge:……
Rod, are you so brave? I didn't even notice it.
It's a good thing you didn't. If a battle really happened, just one of the two mythical units in my unit card would be enough to destroy Rhodes Island several times.
Even if I don't let the mythical troops take action, the morale collapse caused by the mythical pressure alone is enough to make the goblins of Rhodes Island fall into a state of despair for a day.
If you waste this day, no goblins will be able to sleep in the remaining two days.
However, the fact that Rhodes can say this to himself shows that he finally has initial recognition of himself.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qi Ge smiled slightly and took out the last trump card:
"Rod, I know you still have doubts.
Language is feeble.
A well-crafted lie can even be truer than the truth.
No matter how nice my words are, you can't completely believe me.
But it doesn't lie.
If you touch it, you will know that everything I say is absolutely false."
Qi Ge took out a slightly shiny lens.
Rhodes had never seen such a beautiful thing. In his eyes, this lens seemed to have infinite attraction, attracting him to get closer.
This feeling made Rhodes very uncomfortable.
He even took two steps back in fear, nervously took out a magic book and a necklace, and shouted sternly at Qi Ge:
"You, you, you, what do you want to do?
Could it be that you really have Captain Petra under control?
Is this the treasure you use to control Captain Petra?"
Qi Ge did not blame Rhodes for being suspicious, he just chuckled and said to Rhodes:
"Trust your feelings, Rod.
You should be able to tell what it is the first time you see it.
It's your reason that covers your feelings. Don't use your reason to control yourself, use your heart to feel.
Your feeling is right, this is what you have always longed for and been looking forward to."
Qi Ge's words seemed to have magic power, making Rhodes calm down a little.
Once his guarded posture was removed, Rhodes could no longer look away from the lens in Qi Ge's hand.
He reached out several times to touch the lens, but he pulled back in fear.
This scene felt very familiar to Qi Ge.
There are many shy bunny girls who are like this for the first time.
At this time, you must take the initiative, otherwise the rest of the story will not unfold.
Finally, when Rhodes reached out for the eighth time, Qi Ge, with quick eyesight and quick hands, put the lens on Rhodes' hand.
It was as if he had shoved it in while the rabbit girl wasn't paying attention.
"ah!"
Rhodes only shouted half a sound. He fell into an illusion before he could even finish saying "ah".
In front of Rhodes,
From the sky, marshmallows slowly fell, covering the ground made of mashed potatoes.
The fragrant honey flows in the river, and just smelling it makes people hungry.
Countless fairies surrounded the honey river, singing happily.
The duration of the illusion was very short, but in just a moment, Rhodes woke up from the illusion.
Qige had already retracted the lens, but Rhodes still kept his hand stretched out and could not move for a long time.
A crystal teardrop fell from his eye, and the entire goblin fell into a daze, muttering to Qi Ge in a daze:
"This is, this is the Utopia of our dreams.
I saw it! I really saw it!”
Qi Ge patted Rhodes on the back, causing Rhodes to suddenly wake up after being immersed in the illusion.
"Lord Qi Ge, what is this?"
Qi Ge looked at Rhodes and said: "You already have the answer in your heart. There is no need to doubt.
Yes, this is the ideal land you have been looking for.
However, this Utopia is not complete enough and is still in fragments.
But as long as you collect all the fragments, your ideal land will come.
Do you remember what I just told you?
I am an architect. I can go back to the echoes of history, fight side by side with the heroic souls in the fragments of time, and help them make up for their regrets.
This fragment of Utopia was handed over to me by the heroic soul of Kelin, the great elf prophet you follow.
I remember very clearly that when he handed me the fragment, he said to me:
'If the fairies could survive, who would want to be a great prophet? Don't you think so? Great Knight.'
Cong Kelin's wish is to let the goblin family survive.
And my wish is for you to live better and with more dignity while surviving."
Seeing that Rhodes was still in a daze, Qi Ge held the fragment of Fairyland and said to Rhodes:
"Rhode, trust me.
If you can't even trust me, who is recognized by Utopia, then there will be no one in this world worthy of your trust."
Rhodes' dumbfounded expression gradually returned to normal. He took a deep breath and said forcefully:
"Lord Qige! I believe you!"
[System prompt: Rhodes’ favorability towards you is +30, currently 100 (trust is increased)]
"Very good."
Qige looked at Rhodes with a smile and said:
"I believe you too, Rod.
Before you decide whether to tell me Rhode Island's secrets, can you hear some of the plans I have for you?
For the liberation of the fairies."
Rhodes looked at Qi Ge in surprise, and Qi Ge stared at Rhodes without changing his eyes.
Finally, Rhodes' eyes gradually lit up.
"Lord, please give me your orders!"
…
…
Late at night.
The fairies who have been so busy can finally take a break.
On Rhodes Island, the purring sounds of fairies from time to time sound pleasant and warm.
Rhodes and Qige did not sleep.
From two o'clock to four o'clock in the middle of the night, Rhode Island's underground ice cellar is open. There are only two hours in total. If you miss it, you will have to wait another day.
Seven Pigeons and Petra followed Rhodes up and down the winding alleys, and it took a lot of effort to find the entrance to the ice cellar.
The entrance to the ice cellar was carefully protected by Rhodes.
He pressed an armed airship that looked dilapidated at the entrance of the ice cellar.
But after Rhodes tinkered with it for a while, this broken airship was able to barely fly.
Only two or three meters above the ground, there was a creaking sound coming from nowhere on the airship, which made people worry that the airship would fall apart.
But in the end the airship did not fall apart.
Under the control of Rhodes, the broken airship stayed aside, revealing a piece of metal ground.
The material of this metal floor looked very smooth, and even the soil could not be stained on the ground. Qi Ge illuminated it with a torch and found that the ground looked shiny silver, full of a sense of technology.
Qi Ge was a little surprised.
He didn't expect to see such a sci-fi metal plate on Rhodes Island, which was littered with garbage.
"Lord, please step back a little.
It's best to stick close to me."
Rhodes reminded Qige, then rolled up his sleeves and pressed his palms against the metal plate.
The metal plate made a buzzing sound similar to that of a car engine starting, and slowly began to descend.
Immediately afterwards, a magical protective shield rose from around the metal plate, wrapping Qi Ge and the others inside.
Rhodes picked up his hand, and the speed of the metal plate's descent suddenly increased, as if it were weightless!
Just 10 seconds later, the originally extremely fast metal plate changed from a high-speed state to a stationary state in just 2 seconds.
"Chichi~~"
A burst of white cold air overflowed from under the metal plate, the magic cover opened, and a metal door with a strong technological style appeared in front of Qi Ge.
"This...is this? What kind of magic elevator?"
Seven Pigeons was inexplicably shocking.
"Lord, Captain Petra, we are here, please follow me."
Rhodes said hello and started walking towards the door.
Just when Qi Ge thought that the door would be separated from the left and right sides, Rhodes pushed hard, and the door fell down with a "bang".
Qi Ge:……
Breaking into something is outrageous.
And this door looks so advanced, but it falls down as soon as it is pushed.
What kind of goods?
"This way, this way!"
"I'm coming!"
Seeing Rhodes greeting them, Qi Ge and Petra responded and quickly followed.
Qi Ge followed Rhodes all the way to the depths of the passage. There was obviously a very high-tech magical floating elevator and gate at the entrance, but the passage was just an ordinary rock passage.
It was dark, cold and damp, and there wasn't even a wall lamp.
After walking for a short distance, Rhodes suddenly stopped and said to Qige:
"Lord, we are here."
Rhodes stopped, pointed forward and said:
"The ice house is right below here. If you go further and climb down the ice ladder next to the wall, you will enter the ice cellar. If you stay in the ice cellar for more than 10 minutes, you will be frozen into an ice sculpture.
So we can’t go in, we can only look outside.”
Rhodes lit the torch, and the warm light shone into the ice cellar.
Tens of thousands of fairy ice sculptures raised their heads to face Qige and the others, waving their hands with smiles on their faces, and their movements were uniform, just like the terracotta warriors and horses.
Their time was frozen in ice, and the moment they said goodbye became eternity.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for discovering the natural wonder of the extremely cold ice cave]
【Extremely cold ice cave
natural wonders
Effect:
All items entering the extremely cold ice cave will gradually freeze.
After freezing, it will enter a state of time stagnation.】
[System prompt: Warning: The natural wonders of the extremely cold ice cave are very dangerous, please do not approach it.]
Qi Ge looked at it carefully and asked Rhodes strangely:
"Rhode, there are obviously many places in the ice cave, why did you only freeze more than 20,000 goblins?
Aren’t you the little goblin whose lifespan is about to be frozen inside?”
"No sir.
I once tried that if a little goblin whose lifespan is about to freeze becomes an ice sculpture, when it melts again, the goblin will be gone.
Only goblins who are in their prime but have been poisoned or injured can be frozen inside to wait for rescue."
Having said this, Rhodes felt a little ashamed:
"I've been researching how to help them get back to normal, but I'm really not very good at this, and I haven't had any results yet."
Qi Ge looked at the ice sculpture and fell into deep thought.
To save the goblin in the ice sculpture, at least three conditions are required.
Detoxify, treat diseases, and cure disabilities.
Even the mage himself may not be able to tell what the poisonous nature of the toxic waste in the mage tower is.
All kinds of strange materials are mixed together, producing different toxicities.
If you want to save these fairies, I'm afraid you have to study them one by one.
With the presence of the Cabbage King, the fairies can obtain the special ability of being immune to all diseases for 20 days, temporarily shielding the fairies from the effects of diseases.
But King Cabbage is only effective against diseases, and toxins have to be found in other ways.
"It seems that we need to trick Zui Meng back as soon as possible.
It would be a pity for the real botany and medicine bosses not to work under me."
"Lord, Captain Petra, let me take you to the most important secret location in Rhodes Island."
Rhodes looked at Qi Ge and said seriously:
"That's the foundation of our rise as Rhode Island."
The critical moment has come.
Qige nodded seriously and responded: "Rhode, I'm ready."
Petra looked confused: "What the hell? What a secret location? I've never heard of it."
Petra's face was filled with questions: What's going on? Master Qi Ge is my lord, what's wrong with you Rhodes?
How come you, the smoky and big-eyed Rhodes, have been so close to a lord since the beginning?
Okay! What good things did you do behind my back?
"Well! Lord, Captain Petra, let's go back."
Rhodes nodded and walked back to the magic elevator with the path taken by Qi Ge and Petra.
Rhodes pressed his hand on the elevator, and the elevator continued to fall for dozens of meters.
Qi Ge estimated that this depth was already below the seabed.
When the magic protective shield disappeared, Qi Ge's eyes widened in surprise.
What was displayed in front of Qi Ge's eyes was a large alchemy laboratory!
Many alchemy equipment that Qi Ge had seen or had never seen before were neatly sorted and placed on a huge fine iron cabinet.
On an alchemy table made of anti-magic crystal, there are some half-finished mechanical products.
Qi Ge keenly noticed that these mechanical semi-finished products were simple machines used to separate garbage on Rhode Island.
In the deepest part of the laboratory, there is a six-story rock bookshelf as big as an entire wall.
The books on the bookshelf are not made of paper, but are extremely thick black basalt slabs.
The basalt in the Yasha world is an igneous rock formed by the condensation of underground magma erupting from volcanoes or overflowing from surface fissures. It is a level 1 material that is equivalent to ore as a rule.
However, the basalt in the Yasha world is very hard and extremely difficult to be weathered, and it has a strong ability to carry magic power.
Therefore, basalt is often used to record some key information.
Usually, what is carved on basalt is magical words with magical power, and the basalt on the bookshelf is no exception.
"This laboratory is probably very old, at least dating back to the first war for hegemony among all races.
After the first war for hegemony among all races, paper, which was easy to carry and low-cost, became popular from Nigan, and basalt slabs were eliminated.
So is this anti-magic crystal table.
Anti-magic crystal is a level 4 resource, and the cost of making a table is extremely high.
After Bracada was established, the anti-magic crystal table was completely replaced by the obsidian table, which also has anti-magic effects."
Qi Ge said as he walked into the alchemy laboratory.
Petra also followed Qi Ge into the laboratory. He kept looking around, very curious.
But without Qige's order, he did not dare to touch anything in the laboratory.
Rhodes introduced:
"Lord, this alchemy laboratory was discovered by us and the strange ice cellar at the same time.
When we entered the laboratory, the laboratory was spotless as it is now, but the alchemical instruments were scattered and thrown on the ground.
I was able to invent gas gloves, dust masks, and a series of machines for extracting garbage, all thanks to these alchemical equipment.
As for the books on the bookshelf, we can’t understand them at all, the words on them are too profound.”
Qi Ge immediately noticed something was wrong and asked:
"Rod, when did you invent gas gloves?"
"Well, I can't remember the exact time, but it should have been about two or three weeks after I discovered this laboratory."
Qi Ge asked again:
"Rhode, I remember you said before that you discovered the extreme cold ice cellar not long after you arrived in Rhode Island. At that time, you discovered the alchemy laboratory at the same time, right?"
"Yes! Lord Lord."
That's not right. It's true that Rhodes is a level 5 Christmas elf now, but the level of Rhodes who just came to Rhodes Island is definitely not much higher.
"Rhode, do you still remember what military branch you were in at that time?"
Hearing Qige's question, Rhodes nodded quickly and replied, Lord, I remember that I was a second-level snow fairy at that time."
Snow goblin? That’s even more wrong.
Unless Rhodes is a research genius, how could a second-level snow goblin invent a [gas-proof glove], a rare item that is close to an alchemical treasure, without any special skill bonus?
If Rhodes is really a research genius, then he should not have advanced to become a Christmas elf with spellcasting ability.
It can't be that Rhodes is a genius in both research and spellcasting, right?
Qi Ge's eyes narrowed.
It is very likely that this alchemy laboratory can increase the user's research ability.
Just like the Goblin Tavern and the Cabbage King Farm, this alchemy laboratory comes with temporary advancements related to research.
"Who built this laboratory? What was the purpose of building it?
And why is it abandoned on Rhode Island?"
With doubts, Qi Ge looked at the slate on the bookshelf.
His intuition told him that the answer to the question was probably recorded on these basalt slabs.
Qi Ge walked to the basalt stone slab and distinguished it carefully.
But even he couldn't understand the magic words on the basalt stone slab.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, system dad, translate it for me!
Qi Ge turned on the system's built-in translation function, and a long list of Chinese words gradually emerged from the top of the stone slab.
"This is!!"
Qi Ge's pupils shrank suddenly.
"A simple method to make a stone vampire"
"Study of Small Stone Giants"
"Anatomical Analysis of Undead Creatures and Virtual Souls"
"Virtual Soul and the Power of Emotions"
"Basic Use of Thunder Power"
…
These were the words on the stone tablet, which made Qi Ge's breathing quicken.
He connected all these stone slabs, and a conjecture that made him excited gradually emerged in his mind.
"Maybe it's not a coincidence that Rhodes found this alchemy laboratory.
These magical texts are most likely ancient fairy texts that have been erased by Titan!
The original owner of this alchemy laboratory was most likely the demigod goblin who was killed in a sneak attack by Al Zeus!
That's right, if the mages weren't stupid, they must have carefully inspected Rhode Island several times before turning it into a garbage island, and only then used Rhode Island to contain garbage after confirming that it was of no value.
The mages didn't discover the natural wonders and the laboratory, but Rhodes did.
Because this is not the story of a bad luck fairy who fell off a cliff and picked up martial arts magic. This is a great ancestor of the fairy clan, and his descendants, a fire inheritance that spans thousands of years of history.
