Chapter 3309 The Trial of the Great Fool (112)
"Is this a skin disease?" Edmund saw Quag's appearance and asked a little worriedly: "Is it... contagious?"
"It's just hair loss. Allergies? Stress?" Queeg scratched the hairless area on his chest, "Are you acclimated?"
"What, when did it become like this?" Elaine said quietly: "Why didn't you tell me if you felt uncomfortable?"
"Hehe." Queeg didn't answer, just smiled stupidly.
Probably because they didn't want Elaine and the others to worry, they kept it a secret.
So, Elaine was a little unhappy and went over to check Queeg's whole body, raised the leopard's arm and looked again and again, and looked again and again on the leopard's back, making the leopard look embarrassed. If Queeg hadn't stopped him with all his strength,
Elaine even wanted to examine the leopard's private parts.
It turns out that Queeg seemed to be losing hair only on his chest, and there were no problems elsewhere.
Losing hair only in that area, could it be alopecia areata caused by indigestion or excessive stress? Although Elaine is not a professional doctor in this field, he still has this common sense.
Of course, Queeg was an ancient man four thousand years ago, and he had been sleeping for four thousand years. Maybe there were some difficult and complicated diseases four thousand years ago that Elaine had never heard of. Or maybe it was in Queeg
During the four thousand years of sleeping, the body was affected by the stasis gel.
There are too many unsettling factors.
"You, you have to take good care of yourself." Elaine couldn't help complaining: "You, if you fall down, we will be very troubled."
"Well..." Leopard looked puzzled. He didn't know whether it was because he was very hot from soaking in hot water, or because he was sweating profusely because of panic.
"How come big brother is so careless with Uncle Queeg?" Bailey said jokingly, but there seemed to be a little displeasure on his face.
"Anyway, anyhow," Elaine then stepped back and sat down next to the little fox: "I, let me see if I can prepare some desensitizing medicine. It should be helpful in treating hair loss."
"Oh." Queeg subconsciously rubbed his chest.
"Don't, don't scratch it! The more you scratch it, the worse it will be!" the white lion man stopped angrily. Those red rashes on Queeg's bald skin must have been caused by the leopard's repeated scratching. And the location must be very
Itchy, after all, there is no protection of fur, and the naked piece is exposed in the cold air.
So in addition to desensitizing medicine, Queeg also needs some anti-itch ointment. Medical gel should be able to do it. After all, it has the effects of cooling, bacteriostasis, hemostasis, and desensitization. Just take the medicine internally and take some antihistamine. Elaine
Although he is only a half-baked doctor, he still has this commonly used medicine with him.
Zhi——
Accompanied by the sound of some kind of steam jetting, the crystal walls outside the city gradually closed up again, and the entire Atlantis closed again. The cold air flowing in from the outside also gradually decreased, and the surface of Atlantis turned into
A greenhouse.
"It's finally over." Blood Lion Edmund breathed a sigh of relief: "I was worried that it would last like that all night. The severe cold at night in the polar region is terrible."
"What happened to that just now, big brother?" Bailey scratched Elaine's chin and asked curiously.
"No, I don't know. I've never encountered this before..."
"Power furnace, heat dissipation?" Queeg suddenly said: "We encountered it before when the army was stationed. At first, it was once every few days. Later, it was once a day."
"Is it possible for this kind of thing to evolve into once a day?" Edmund looked troubled: "The supplies brought must be protected from moisture."
Elaine didn't say anything. Most of their supplies were hidden in their storage pockets and would not come into contact with the outside world. Naturally, they would not be wetted by the sudden steam. However, the sheets that had been spread out would be affected by this.
And it gets wet all at once. In other words, they should put their quilts in their storage pockets and only use them when sleeping. If they are suddenly attacked by the steam in the middle of their sleep, there is nothing they can do, just accept their fate.
Queeg's tent can also isolate moisture, which means sleeping in the tent can be a relatively comfortable experience. However, the tent can only accommodate Elaine and Bailey sleeping together at most, and it will be very difficult for Queeg to squeeze in again.
Barely... Forget it Edmund. That idiot Queeg, why didn't you bring an extra tent as a backup?
"As for heat dissipation..." Edmund touched his chin thoughtfully: "Your Highness, you said that this city surfaces once a thousand years to collect and store solar energy, right?"
Elaine nodded.
"That's strange." The Blood Lion continued to elaborate: "If it is to collect and store energy, it can be collected quietly. Why do we need to carry out such exhaust heat dissipation? It is emitted from the power furnace deep in the city.
Isn't steam also a huge source of energy? Isn't it a waste if they are lost like this?"
Elaine wanted to answer, "This is also a helpless move. After all, the cooling system of the power furnace is designed like this." But he stopped before he could speak. Ancient people were very smart, and the ancient people mentioned here did not only refer to the ancient gods and humans.
, including the extinct sea royal family.
The real rulers of Atlantis, the Sea Royal Family, have no reason to be so stupid as to waste such a huge amount of energy and let the huge amount of heat energy dissipate along with the steam.
How many billions of joules of heat energy did the steam that just escaped from the city's exhaust system contain? No one knows. Maybe the energy taken away by the erupted steam is greater than what Atlantis collected through the crystal walls.
, a whole day’s worth of solar energy is even more.
Before enough solar energy is absorbed, a large amount of energy is released along with the steam. Isn't this not worth the loss?
If we continue to think about it this way, the statement that "Atlantis will surface every thousand years and absorb solar energy" gradually becomes a bit untenable.
Speaking of the term "absorbing solar energy", who originally said it?
Elaine frowned.
By the way, it's his father, the dragon demon Bors.
Bors got the information from the Archmage Merlin. Or it could be said that Bors consulted the Ivory Tower database and obtained the ancient information about Atlantis from there.
The mages may not know Atlantis as well as Queeg. After all, the city only surfaces once every thousand years, and the floating time only lasts about a month. A thousand years ago, or thousands of years ago
The mages didn't have many opportunities to observe the city up close.
Therefore, there may be a lot of conjectures and fallacies in those ancient documents. Many mages seem to be thoughtful and extremely intelligent, but in fact they are very nervous, or "missing". The ivory tower is full of a group of people with some mental problems.
Weird, and the higher the level of mages, the sicker they are - Elaine has always had this prejudice against mages.
Therefore, the statement that "Atlantis surfaced to absorb solar energy" may be wrong. The reality may be much more complicated than what appears on the surface.
The only thing that can be said for sure about this ancient city is that "it is full of mysteries." Even the motive for its existence is not clear, let alone why it rises to the surface every thousand years.
The water is coming up.
More cold sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
In any case, he doesn't have much time left. Judging from the changes just now, there are probably only a few days left before Atlantis sinks to the bottom of the water again.
He must break through the dungeon and reach the core of Atlantis within these few days. Otherwise, it will be too late.
Edmund squinted at Elaine secretly, and he could see that the White Lion boy was worried.
No matter what, taking a hot bath still makes people feel very relaxed.
"What should I do with the water in this pool?" After Bailey put on his shirt, he turned around and looked at the pool of bath water that was gradually cooling down.
They used the structure of the roof of the building to build a bathing pool. But there was a big problem, that is, the pool could not be drained after use. These seemingly stone buildings were surprisingly waterproof and indestructible.
.Once a pool forms, the water inside is really difficult to drain away.
Obviously, this city was originally built on the seabed, and drainage issues on land were not considered at all. Perhaps these buildings were originally immersed in seawater for the habitat of highly intelligent aquatic life forms.
Although there are many buildings available nearby, but...do you have to leave a pool of bath water on the roof of the building every time you take a bath? From a hygienic perspective, this is not a good thing...
"It would be great if we could get a water pump to pump out the dirty water." Edmund hummed.
"No, no need." Elaine said, changing into human form.
It's very simple, just use telekinesis to deal with it. Don't mages often use telekinesis to pump liquids from one place to another. They can even separate the dirt in dirty water and create theoretically pure water -
—It’s a pity that Elaine is not yet able to perform such precise operations.
He touched the dirty water in the pool with his hand, and then "turned up" the entire pool of water. It was a literal stir, because the water in the pool rose like jelly, and then followed Elaine's movements.
When he raised his hand, it floated into the air and turned into a huge water balloon.
Although this is spectacular, this kind of operation is actually a common scene in the ivory tower. It is an exercise that mages often do when learning telekinesis. The complete training package naturally separates drinkable pure water from dirty water, even in dirty water.
Elements can be extracted from pollution that can be reused.
Elaine is not an official mage anyway, so naturally she won't care about such trivial matters. She just needs to drain away the dirty water and throw it away.
He launched the water balloon to a relatively open place in the distance. The water balloon exploded there, and dirty water spilled all over the floor.
"Big brother is so uneducated that he throws the bath water everywhere. He should throw it into the trash can," Bailey joked.
"Ha, hahaha." Elaine smiled perfunctorily a few times and transformed back into the lion-man form.
"There's still a little time before dinner, big brother, let's play?" Bailey pulled Elaine's tail and said with a smile, "What should I play? Play poker? Play chess? Or draw?"
"Draw, let's draw." Elaine thought that playing poker is what he must win, and playing chess is what Bailey must win. As expected, competitive or gambling games are not suitable, so he just doodled with the little fox.
alright.
But Bailey’s painting skills are too terrible. It’s graffiti in the true sense, the kind that can turn a cat into a dog. And if Elaine can’t guess what Bailey drew, or after seeing his painting
If he can't help laughing, the little fox will pout and sulk. This child is really difficult to take care of sometimes...
"Do you want to practice your sword skills?" Edmund came over and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Bailey will also become a proud warrior of the Solis Kingdom in the future. It is necessary to practice your sword skills as soon as possible?"
"Really?" The blue fox boy's ears twitched: "Can I also become a qualified warrior?"
"If you continue to train yourself, you will definitely be able to do it, Your Highness Bailey."
(This guy is goading Bailey into doing things he can't do.)
A drop of sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
He knew very well that the little fox was weak and had inherent deficiencies. Even if he worked very hard, Bailey would never be able to become a great warrior in his life. If he gave this child too much hope, wouldn't it be great if Bailey one day found that his wish could not be realized?
Is it more cruel?
But he agreed with Edmund on at least one thing. It would never hurt to let Bailey exercise more.
"I, I understand." So Elaine took out the wooden sword, which was the mercy sword Mysterdin, "I will practice swordsmanship with Bailey."
"Is it really okay, big brother?"
"Hmm." Elaine touched Mysterdin's sword blade and summoned another wooden sword from it.
The wooden sword is similar to the clone of Mystedin, but it is just a relatively strong piece of wood and does not have as powerful an ability as Mystedin. In fact, the power of Mystedin is similar to that used by the Druids [camp]
Forest Seed] is almost the same. It can be understood that there is a different space inside, with an infinite forest. And Elaine can take out some resources from that forest.
The poisonous mist used to deal with piranhas before was a product of that alien forest.
The small wooden sword that has been copied now is almost a branch taken from the forest and shaped into the shape of the sword.
However, like Misterdin, it has certain impact-absorbing properties, making it perfect for swordsmanship training. Even if something goes wrong, the wooden sword in Elaine's hand or the wooden sword in Bailey's hand will not be affected.
may cause any harm.
After all, Mistedin, the Mercy Sword, can't even kill small insects. It is the gentlest sword in the world.
He gave the wooden sword to Bailey: "But, promise me, you will never use this sword to do anything dangerous. Nor, you can't bully anyone...or any living thing just because you have learned a little swordsmanship. But,
May I?"
"I understand, big brother." The little fox happily took the small wooden sword: "I will never use it to do bad things, hehe."
"Is His Royal Highness the Prince responsible for teaching His Royal Highness Bailey swordsmanship?" Edmund asked: "Your Highness the Prince, your injury has just healed and you need to regain your strength. Or should I teach it for you?"
"I don't want it, I just want my big brother to teach me!" Bailey stuck out his tongue.
"Ha, haha..." Elaine smiled bitterly: "Just, just playing with Bailey, it won't consume too much energy. Besides, I also need to move my body."
"Okay then. I'll go back and get ready first." Edmund looked a little disappointed.
"Let's go, let's get started." Elaine walked towards the open space and at the same time raised his wooden sword towards Bailey.
