Ronald began to explore below the surface of the water.
As the depth of his position continued to decrease, after 200 meters, the surrounding area could hardly be illuminated by sunlight and fell into a considerable degree of darkness.
After all, this is not the fairy tale world composed of "The Labyrinth Picture Book".
Although Ronald can barely see his surroundings, in an environment that continues to be dark, no matter how good his eyesight is, he will not be able to still use his eyes to observe his surroundings underwater.
"In December 1831, I was fortunate enough to board the Royal Warship HMS Beagle as a naturalist and begin a five-year global scientific expedition..."
Ronald immediately recited the incantation from "The Origin of Species".
Relying on his biomodification abilities, Ronald greatly enhanced his perception of water movement and sounds.
Then it felt like a real fish living in such water.
With this method of observation, Ronald established a specific understanding of the surrounding environment, and then continued to accelerate his dive.
…
It continued to descend in this way until it approached a depth of 500 meters.
During this period, in order to adapt to the increasing water pressure, Ronald had to make corresponding changes to his body every once in a while.
Up until this moment, he had doubts in his heart.
According to the old man on the ground floor of the library, outsiders who come to Capone's library to borrow secret books need to bring the pink crystal back there.
But this level of deep water...
A source holder like him finds it difficult, so how can an ordinary spellcaster do it?
Maybe there is something wrong with my own method?
Asking outsiders to provide pink crystals for borrowing books may actually be a euphemistic way of doing business for the library!
According to the old man, some pink crystals may have been prepared in the city for outsiders to use money or connections to exchange. Anyone who wants to borrow books can get them by making corresponding transactions.
Not like Ronald is now.
He jumped directly into the sea, and then dived deep into the water to collect crystals, which was absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Um?"
Ronald was thinking about these things while continuing to swim downward.
Finally when the depth was close to 600 meters.
He discovered that a blurry halo appeared in the depths of the ocean below!
Although I have only just discovered it.
But judging from Ronald's experience, it was definitely not the movement caused by one or two deep-sea fish that could glow.
There must be something shining over a large area at that location!
That’s right!
This is it!
Ronald immediately concluded the situation.
Then with a thought in his mind, he immediately accelerated his dive and swam towards the glowing position.
This kind of light source existing under the sea surface is no better than the sun in the sky, and can directly provide suitable light to the sea water nearly two hundred meters deep.
So I only dived less than twenty meters.
Ronald actually touched the seabed where the light source was located.
Just as the underground manager of the library said, there is indeed a crystal jungle covering a huge area. Beautiful blue and green light shines out from these crystals, thus providing this piece of water from the sea.
Bright place.
…
These...are all fluorite?
Ronald looked around with curiosity.
There are a lot of luminous stones in nature, and they are actually minerals with fluorescent reactions. This type of minerals will indeed emit such blue-green fluorescence after being exposed to sunlight.
Although it is no longer possible to see the surroundings clearly on the seabed of more than 600 meters, the sunlight actually retains a faint light here, thus activating the fluorite located on the seabed.
"..."
Poof——
With curiosity, Ronald landed on the bottom of the sea and stepped on the wonderfully tactile ground with his feet, stirring up a fine flow of sand.
Then travel through the maze of fluorite jungle.
While Ronald was looking for the pink crystal he needed in the library, he also had some doubts in his mind.
A normal fluorite ore.
Why was the pink crystal with the ability to retain light produced?
Thinking about the size of the Capone Library, Ronald couldn't help but have a hunch that there were some secrets hidden near this city.
If you have time, stay here and continue digging.
Maybe you can find something shocking?
Brush——
At this moment, a stream of water passed through Ronald's right arm.
Being extremely sensitive to touch, he instantly realized that something slender was swimming towards the left in this direction, and it was about two meters long.
Is this some kind of deep-sea fish?
Ronald turned his head almost subconsciously.
But soon, he saw a scene that surprised him.
A deep-sea fish that looked like a hairtail was swimming past his right front. With the light provided by the fluorite maze, Ronald could clearly see that the gaps between the fish scales on the other person's body had grown a layer of light.
The tiny pebbles are so beautiful that they are not as beautiful as human life.
"..."
What kind of evolution could give birth to such a beautiful creature?
Facing a magical creature that he had never seen before, Ronald was stunned for a moment.
Without even thinking about it, he subconsciously held on to a piece of fluorite beside him, then allowed himself to slowly swim forward, and began to observe the appearance of this beautiful creature from behind from a distance.
Until I moved forward like this, my body floated two or three meters away in the water.
Ronald followed the other person with his eyes, and inadvertently glanced at the surrounding fluorite jungle, and then suddenly stopped his idea of observing beautiful creatures.
"Something doesn't seem right here..."
Ronald narrowed his eyes and descended a little deeper into a depression below.
After zooming in, he discovered the special thing he had just noticed.
That is the center of a large area of fluorite below. It seems to have a slightly different light shining, and its color is exactly pink!
Is this it?
After seeing the goal of his trip, how could Ronald still hesitate?
He casually took out the Sword of Santa Caterina from his back, aimed at the fluorite below and slashed it with his sword.
Click——
Of course, the sharpness of the saint's legacy cannot be blocked by the likes of fluorite.
Ronald split open this large piece of fluorite in twos and twos, and then he discovered that there was a pink crystal hidden in it. In the center of it, there was a vivid light spot, which was exactly the same as the pink crystal displayed by the old man in the library.
!
Confirmed his gains.
Ronald immediately dug the crystal out of the fluorite and put it into his pocket.
But after Ronald put the Sword of Santa Caterina behind his back again.
When we are about to leave and return to the land.
The sudden movement suddenly hit him beside him!
Wow——
With the fierce flow of water, Ronald quickly turned his head.
Then he saw the giant pincers that had always been composed entirely of luminous crystals suddenly stretched out from between these crystals, and then clamped down hard on him!
