Chapter 3311 The Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Fourteen)
Chapter 3311 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Fourteen)
After settling the sick Queeg, Elaine had a quick dinner, pretended to be sleepy and rested in the tent until the sun went down.
Bailey naturally hugged Elaine and slept together. After the little fox fell asleep beside Elaine, he crept up, prepared himself, and planned to go to the location of the transmission device.
"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Edmund noticed Elaine preparing to leave and walked out of the house: "You are not planning to leave us and go into the dungeon alone, are you?"
"Uh. Well." Elaine replied hesitantly. Since everything has been discovered, there is no way not to admit: "I, I just went to check the situation. You guys stay here."
"This is not possible, His Royal Highness." The blood lion stood in front of Elaine: "His Royal Highness just suffered such a serious injury today. Even if the wound was healed by healing spells, he still lost a lot of blood. Now His Highness the Prince
You should rest more and replenish your lost physical strength instead of going to the dungeon to die."
"I, I didn't mean to die." The white lion boy frowned: "I just went to observe the situation on the second floor of the dungeon and prepare for the breakthrough tomorrow."
"To go deep into that dangerous place alone is what common sense calls [send death], Your Highness."
Elaine was stunned for a moment.
"Until now, haven't you been able to trust us, Your Highness?" Edmund continued: "You disregarded the feelings of your companions and took all the risks on yourself. You may think this is a virtue, but in fact
This is very insulting."
Elaine was anxious: "I, I didn't mean to insult you..."
"In that case, is it okay if I go with you?"
"this……"
The Blood Lion chuckled and said: "His Royal Highness said he was going to inspect the situation and had no intention of going deep into the maze. Naturally, there will be no danger in this trip, right?"
I simply can't say enough about him.
"Big brother?" Bailey slowly crawled out of the tent: "Big brother, how good is he? You want to sneak away to a dangerous place without telling me again?"
Elaine covered her face. Thanks to Edmund, Bailey woke up.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I can't take you with me this time." The white lion boy wondered: "No, it is too dangerous for you to go to the dungeon without the protection of Queeg. Moreover, the sick Queeg needs someone to take care of him."
"Okay. Let me take care of Uncle Queeg. After all, I gave him the chickenpox." Bailey was extremely sensible: "But the eldest brother also has to promise me that he will stay on the back of the spider the whole time when he breaks into the dungeon.
Absolutely don’t mess around."
"Spider, spider back?" Elaine was stunned for half a second before she figured out what Bailey wanted to say. The so-called "spider back" actually refers to the back of the frost-eating spider that Edmund transformed into.
"Well...but, okay." Elaine reluctantly agreed.
"I will also urge His Highness the Prince and will not let him do anything too dangerous." Blood Lion Edmund said.
"That's good, hehe." The little fox smiled and said, "But there is still a problem. If the eldest brother and Uncle Edmund are gone, won't I be the only child here? Uncle Queeg is ill again.
I can't fight anymore. What if I encounter some monster or a group of Vikings come and attack the camp?"
Elaine showed a perplexed expression. The probability of such a thing is very low, but it cannot be categorically impossible. Leaving Bailey alone in a camp like this without adult supervision is ultimately unsafe. It is just the same as taking Bailey with him.
Compared to going to dangerous places like underground cities, you may encounter fewer dangers here.
Now Bailey is completely unable to protect himself. The sick Queeg is not only unable to protect Bailey, but will even hinder him. The safety of the camp is indeed worrying.
"I, I understand." The white lion boy took out a metal key card-like thing and handed it to Bailey: "Here, this is the activation key of the battleship [Leo]. Although you do not have the authority to activate the battleship,
But, with this, I can at least summon the cavalry on the battleship."
"Are you just using an iron cavalry to run away... But I don't know how to drive an iron cavalry."
"Just let it return home automatically. You, you can take Queeg and escape back to the battleship. It's safe there. In the worst case scenario..." Elaine hesitated for a long time before continuing: "Use, use this key.
The card launches a laser to lock the target, and the [Leo] will launch an automatically guided micro-nuclear warhead. One, one warhead is enough to destroy the small Viking village, and it is more than enough to deal with sea monsters. Use it, when you use it
Be careful and only use it as a last resort."
Edmund's face showed a moment of gloom. It was a crazy decision for Elaine to hand over a nuclear bomb launcher to a child like Bailey.
"I understand." The little fox accepted the activation key card: "I will definitely be careful. If nothing happens, there is no need to use this, it is naturally the best."
"Yeah. Pay attention to your safety." Elaine said with a wry smile.
"Big brother is the one who really needs to pay attention to safety."
After bidding farewell to Bailey, Elaine and Edmund walked into the teleportation device.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had teleported to the link layer between the first and second floors of the Atlantis underground maze. That was where they set up the teleportation device last time. This elevated platform was still the same one Edmund had last time.
A platform made of spider silk. The platform is still intact, with no trace of being disturbed by monsters or golems in the maze.
"Very, very good..." Elaine put away the transmission device, "Let's go."
"By the way, is the [Leo] that His Highness the Prince mentioned really the secret weapon of the Solis Kingdom?" Edmund asked suddenly.
"Huh? No, it's not. That's a French ship. It was snatched." Elaine replied briefly: "What, what's wrong?"
"It actually violated the Antarctic Treaty and carried nuclear weapons..." Blood Lion said worriedly: "If the existence of that ship is known to the world, His Highness's situation will become very bad."
"Really, is it really that bad?"
"Even I, a former slave with little education, knew that the use of nuclear energy was prohibited. Nuclear radiation not only pollutes the environment, it also reacts with photons in the atmosphere and changes the structure of the photons.
[Heterogeneous photons] whose structure has been changed will cause surrounding creatures to mutate into monsters. Injecting nuclear energy products into a world with such a high photon concentration is like injecting poison into clean water. It is an act that goes against the entire world. By the world
Knowing that Your Highness, your ship has nuclear weapons, every country in the world will besiege you and try to destroy you."
Elaine was heartbroken when she heard this.
"You may trust His Highness Bailey so much that you even gave him the key to launch the nuclear weapon. However... once he launches the nuclear weapon, it will not end so simply."
"That, that's what happens only in the worst case scenario. Pele has his own sense of control."
"Okay... I'm talking too much." Edmund sighed.
"Why, why do you care so much about nuclear weapons?" Elaine stopped and looked at Edmund, and asked seriously: "Is it difficult, do you think that the destruction of the Solis Kingdom is related to this matter?"
"It's just suspicion, no evidence." The Blood Lion sighed: "But Your Highness the Prince should still stay away from nuclear weapons. Don't give humans an excuse to hurt you."
However, the entire Leo ship is powered by nuclear energy. If nuclear weapons are abandoned, not only the nuclear warheads must be discarded, but also the main power reactor of the Leo ship must be abandoned. Almost the entire ship must be abandoned.
"I, I will pay attention. After this matter is over, we will abolish nuclear weapons." Elaine replied perfunctorily, even though he himself didn't know what to do.
They had climbed the stairs for quite some distance, and there was a faint chill on the road ahead. They were almost reaching the second level of the Atlantis Underground City.
"I will turn into a frost-eating spider." Edmund said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's leg injury has not fully healed, so just ride on my back."
"Okay, okay." Elaine also promised Bailey that she would stay on the spider's back the whole time this time.
"If something unexpected happens, His Highness the Prince, just tell me. After turning into a spider, I have no vocal organs and can't speak. But I can understand what His Highness the Prince said." Edmund said: "Then, let's start.
Yeah."
He lay on the ground and turned into a frost-eating spider in the blink of an eye.
His ability allows him to only absorb a blood sample from a certain creature once, and he can transform into that creature countless times without using any more blood samples.
Of course, Edmund can only "store" one transformation at the same time. If he wants to transform into other creatures, he needs blood samples from other creatures. And as long as he drinks the blood sample of another creature, the old transformation will be replaced by the new one.
The transformation covers it.
Edmund's transformation ability is fundamentally different from Elaine's transformation ability. To be honest, Edmund is still a lion-man, but he uses the lion-man's [blood transformation] to temporarily transform into other creatures.
. And Elaine is no longer limited to being a lion-man, and can freely switch between various orc transformations.
If Elaine drinks Edmund's blood again, does that mean...as long as he maintains the lion-man form, he can use blood samples from other creatures to further transform, just like Edmund does now?
Don't think too much about it. The ability he possesses in his current lion-man form is already powerful enough. His original intention to become like this is not to pursue strong power. He just changed into the same appearance as Leo to commemorate Leo.
If she drinks Edmund's blood again, will Elaine, the lion-man transformation, turn into something else? At that time, Leo's transformation may no longer be so "Leo".
They reached the second level of the dungeon, and the cold air hit their faces.
Riding on the back of the spider, Elaine, who was worried, saw a landscape of ice and snow in front of her.
No, there is only ice and no snow here. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "ice and ice". The floors and ceilings of the entire world are made of highly transparent, slightly ice-blue ice cubes, and there are supports between them.
The huge ice pillars are also highly transparent. The ground is not flat, it has countless bumps and valleys, and some places have even sunk and been submerged by flowing glaciers.
The highly transparent, cold glacier is bottomless, and only the dark blue color in its depths can be vaguely seen. There are also a large number of ice floes floating on the river, flowing slowly with the current.
There is not a single snowflake in the entire world, it is all transparent or translucent ice. Because it is an artificially constructed landscape, it does not have the naturally formed white snowflakes in nature - snow is actually just irregular ice particles in the microscopic world.
Therefore, it is simply dazzling here, and the scenery is the effect of dozens of layers of light and scenery superimposed.
The light penetrates one piece of ice after another, and the scenery gradually transitions from transparent to light blue, then to ice blue, and then to dark blue. When it finally shines into people's eyes, it is already a blue sunset-like scenery. This scenery is in the sky.
Yes, there are also underground ones. Gradually, people will become confused about the direction, even up, down, left and right, and their consciousness will be lost between heaven and earth.
This is the second underground level of Atlantis, the World of Ice. It is also called the [Azure Hell].
