The magnificent scenery that caught Roland's eyes could only be described in this way.
Just like modern architecture, no, it is a greater building than modern architecture, and it can be called a work of art.
There are buildings with melodious curvature like a dragon's spine and a shape that looks like a harp; there are also huge shells that are like works of art; or there are giant buildings that are hundreds of meters high like buds about to bloom.
.
And more of them are like overlapping overpasses, winding corridors. They surround other buildings, and from Roland's point of view, he can even see the transparent passages connecting them to other buildings.
They are all coated with silver-gray metal coating and look like giant metal pythons entrenched in sleep.
But Roland noticed one thing: there is no city wall here.
The so-called city wall is the line of defense that protects the town. It is a place where the people can have a place to stay when facing enemy invasion one day in the future. The city wall is to the town what armor is to the human body.
However, Erqat has no walls because they don't need them at all.
If a person's muscles are stronger than steel, then the only effect of armor on him is to hinder his actions. From the beginning, no buildings in Elkart were exposed to the atmosphere, and everyone was sealed
As for walking in solid metal pipes, there was no point in having city walls in this city from the beginning.
These one-way transparent pipes are densely packed, the lowest ones have long been hidden under the desert, and the highest parts are even hundreds of meters long. And inside the pipes are powerful preservatives. They can ensure the greatest degree of inhibition
The activities of insects keep the space clean and greatly reduce the rate of decay.
Under the yellow sand, everything is hidden in the desert. This is why some explorers regard Elcat as a relic of an old civilization.
Yes, Roland realized from the beginning that the professor's light of fire could not harm Elkart himself.
You know, this is the blessed place of the past, the land of fairies. It was the center of the world.
The so-called fairies are the incarnations of Gaia. To put it less romantically, it would be no different to describe them as mushrooms growing from Gaia's corpse.
Now that Gaia has died, these little guys can be said to be the guardians of the earth and the guardians of the throne.
Although they are innocent, kind and weak, no life born from the earth will try to attack them. Their blood has some properties of Gaia's blood, which can make all life full of vitality.
At the same time, they are outstanding wise men and inventors. The knowledge and communication between fairies is very short, so although their life span is very short, even if they awaken the origin, they will not live to be seventy years old, but they never think of fairies.
It's stupid.
This is because, although they are the incarnations of Gaia, their birth is inseparable from Kabbalah, the tree of life. Except for those winged fairies who are direct descendants of Gaia, all winged fairies are descendants of Gaia.
Imitations created by Kabbalah, imitating the movement mechanism of saints and the characteristics of elemental life, auxiliary development humanoid life forms born from the Fairy Lake. When they were born, they were intended to be the saints.
Existing as a result of God.
These goblins are good at inventing and creating. Of course, they will follow an iron law that Kabbalah advises them, that is, whenever a new invention is born, all the goblins must vote for the work to decide whether it should exist in the world.
Will it have any destructive impact on the world? Can it make the world a better place?
Nine hundred years before the White Tower wizards invented the pistol-like thermal gun, the goblins had invented a far more technical folding bow that greatly accelerated the speed of arrows through electromagnetism.
Crossbows, as well as telepathic resonance equipment that can connect the hearts of all soldiers together. However, the goblins believed that this "overly convenient war weapon" would amplify the adverse effects of war, so they voted three-quarters of the
This invention was destroyed.
The existence of goblins has given Elkart a technological power that can be said to transcend the times.
Whether it is a city that operates autonomously, an unmanned court, a semi-mechanical peacekeeper, the curtain device that hides Elkart, or even the potions and machines that produce modern undead, they are all new things invented by the goblins.
It is designed for today's Elkart and is completely in line with the current situation of Elkart.
A large shortage of slaves and labor force, no longer suitable for ordinary people to live in, the absence of the supreme authority to maintain the law, complex and fierce factional struggles... and most importantly, how to continue to expand the undead group after losing the Silver Queen, will
Fresh blood and ideas are brought into this silent pool of stagnant water, temporarily muddying the water a little.
The undead do not need food, water, or air. Their bodies have long lost their proper functions, and they are just corpses driven by their souls. If there were dolls that looked like real people, these would be
The undead only need to install simple driving equipment to make them move, which is even more comfortable than using such a fragile and short-lived body. However, the problem is that the inorganic body cannot resist the decay of all things with negative energy.
It will shorten your lifespan and start decaying directly.
A body with a lifespan of sixty years can still be used after two-thirds of its lifespan has been lost; while a wooden board, after two-thirds of its lifespan has decayed, is already fragile and breaks at the touch of a touch.
Without the two attributes of constitution and will to save, the mentor's power is absolute for everything. Therefore, the undead can only choose this artificial corpse that decays quickly.
As long as they are not treated accordingly, the bodies of the undead will decay quickly. The negative energy from the Everlasting Master flowing in their blood will lead their bodies to death. Their flesh will rot and their bones will decay. Without injection of insect repellent
If given the drug, the bugs will even lay eggs in their bodies, maggots will burrow out from under the skin, and their stomachs will swell due to the gas produced by the rotting internal organs.
The most terrifying thing is that during this process, the undead still have feelings for themselves.
Even if it is cut into pieces, as long as there is no problem with the craftsmanship, it may be able to move after being sewn up and kicked. Even if it is completely burned to ashes, the blood-stained clay and rocks will still have their own properties.
With a new consciousness, stand up again.
For the undead with this characteristic, it would be strange if the society they formed was no different from a human country.
In today's Elcat, there are no villages, no farmers, and no workers. In other words, all mechanical work has lost its meaning here. The city will run on its own and solve all tasks that do not require wisdom.
But because of this, the daily lives of the undead are as funny as a mime.
They create new ideas, create new things, use their services and capabilities to earn money from others, and then spend the money, which flows within the city, forming a closed cycle.
But the undead know that they must do this. Only in this way will their cold and indifferent hearts not become so vain that they go crazy.
This is a place of abandonment. A place of suffering in a perpetual closed cycle.
This is Elkart
"...Elucard, come with me."
Roland looked at this sad miracle hidden in the sandstorm, and after a long time, he said softly. (To be continued.)
