Chapter 3356 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Fifty-Nine)
Ten minutes later, Elaine and his party returned to the big house where they had settled.
"Well, the luggage has not been touched." Edmund was checking the luggage placed here, and then turned to look out the window: "It would be great if the guys guarding the outside could also be removed."
"It shouldn't be possible." Zuoli smiled bitterly: "They are determined to keep you here for one night. They will not let down their guard until late at night."
"It's late at night..." Elaine took out her mobile phone and looked at the time. Although there was no signal here, she could still see the time. The time was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it didn't feel like late night was approaching at all.
However, the concept of time in the underground city of Atlantis is different from that on the surface, and their late night may refer to something else.
"Gu, let me ask." The white lion boy then asked: "You, when did you say late at night will come?"
"About three hours later. At that time, the heat pipes in the city will cool down, the brightness will also drop, and people in the entire city will go to sleep."
"Which heat pipe is it worth?" Edmund pointed to the luminous pillar in the middle of the hall.
This kind of luminous coral pillars seem to run across the entire city. Not only are they transformed into giant pillars connecting the floor and ceiling, but they are also found in every building. They even stick out from every room in the building.
Its luminous part provides all-weather lighting and warmth for people indoors.
"That's it. It seems to use the waste heat emitted by the city core to illuminate us. But this thing is too hot." Zuoli shook his head: "It has been so hot and stuffy all day long, which is very troublesome."
"What about late at night? It will be cooler late at night?"
"Yes, so everyone goes to bed when it gets cooler and is less dazzling. Otherwise, it will be too hot to sleep at all."
Therefore, the day and night in the underground city of Atlantis are based on the state of the "heat-conducting pillars". Sunlight has no meaning here. What is really meaningful is when the heat-conducting pillars darken and cool down, and people hurry up.
Go and rest.
Hmm... very reasonable.
Elaine touched her neck and felt a sticky feeling.
It's really hot here. It's so hot even indoors. What the hell is going on.
Elaine remembered that the ancient Atlanteans were creatures that lived in the sea. Maybe this underground city should have been filled with water, and the function of the thermal conductive pillars was to heat the sea water. But the Atlanteans have deteriorated into what they are now.
The Yate people (stalkers) do not seem to be suitable for life in the water, so the living area has become like this after it dried up. The thermal conductive columns are no longer used to heat sea water, but instead become like this kind of sauna.
organ……
"You are sweating." Xuli saw Elaine wiping sweat and said, "If it's too hot, why not take off your coat? Everyone living here only wears a pair of underpants. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Elaine originally wanted to complain about why there were no female Aters here who needed to cover their breasts. However, he immediately thought that the body structures of fish and mammals are different. It is estimated that female Aters are similar to male Aters.
There is not much difference, and there is nothing to cover up on the chest.
"I, I'd better keep my clothes on, thank you." He replied. Considering that this house only has windows but no glass, and people outside can see everything inside, he just felt uncomfortable.
There is already little privacy in this place, but if we take off our clothes, the privacy will be even less.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Edmund couldn't bear the heat and took off his shirt directly. Fortunately, he didn't take off his pants.
"Yeah, me too." Queeg also took off his shirt.
"Is it okay if I just take off my shirt?" Bailey looked very hot and asked Elaine.
"You're young, be careful you catch a cold." Elaine wondered.
"No problem, I'll just put it on when it's cold." The little fox also took off his shirt.
(Why are you all like this...)
"But I still want to take a shower. The hair on my body is all sticky with sweat." Bailey complained, rubbing the hair on his chest.
"Please be patient and wait until no one in their bathhouse talks anymore." Elaine just didn't want to bathe with a group of stalkers in a public place. If you bathed together like this, you wouldn't know whether you were bathing in fish soup or cat soup.
"How about taking a bath here?" Edmund suddenly said: "If you go up to the second floor, you won't be seen by outsiders. And get an inflatable water bed or something, which will be enough for everyone to take a bath."
"There is a rubber boat." Queeg suddenly said: "Hot water won't work, but cold water will."
"You, you want to take a bath too?" Elaine glanced at the cloud-patterned leopard.
"I'm not going to wash. I'm just letting myself out here." The leopard seemed to dislike bathing very much. He didn't even want to take a cold bath.
"You like it..." Elaine really wanted to take a bath to relieve the heat on her body, so she took the folded rubber boat from Queeg's hand. It was not so much a rubber boat as it was made of Luna Silicone
Silicone kayak. Luna silicone itself is extremely flexible, and the material can be made as thin as paper. The rubber kayak made from this seems to be as fragile as a balloon, but in fact it cannot be punctured no matter how hard it is poked. It almost must be made of Luna steel.
This rubber boat can only be punctured by a weapon. This rubber boat can seat up to six people. If the outer circle is completely inflated, the middle part can be filled with water to become a small pool. On the other hand, it can accommodate up to six people taking a bath in it.
.
As for water, Elaine and the others have a lot of water. The fresh water stored in Luna silica gel cubes cannot be used up. Soaking in the pure water they prepared is much cleaner than taking a bath with a group of big fish in a public bathhouse.
"Second, is the second floor really usable?" Elaine walked up the stairs with everyone and looked at the empty room on the second floor. It was as big and empty as the first floor, and there were several cards with animals in the corner.
There is a mattress made of leather, and on the other side there is a hanger for hanging clothes (the Stalkers' crotch cloth). There are two seats in the middle of the room near the glowing coral pillars, but there is nothing else.
Elaine was curious if all the Stalkers' hometowns looked like this. Is every home so empty? There wasn't even a kitchen or bathroom? To use the bathroom, you had to go outside to find a public one? Where did you cook?...
Directly use the heated coral pillars to grill food?
What kind of life are these savages living? If it weren't for the luminous pillar provided by the city of Atlantis to give them heat and light, their lives would probably be even more difficult, right?
Elaine looked outside the window. Although this was the second floor and there was less surveillance from the first floor, it was still possible to see Elaine and others on the second floor through windows without glass or curtains on some floors not far away.
Action. Taking a bath in a place like this is like running away in a public place...
"Just, is there nothing to cover up?" Elaine felt very uncomfortable.
"I knew His Highness the Prince would say this. It doesn't matter, I'll handle it." Edmund walked to the window, first hid his figure behind the window, and then transformed into a stalker.
"Huh?" Zuoli snorted in surprise: "You became them?"
"The transformation technique of the Thoris tribe (the lion-men tribe) is nothing to be surprised about." Edmund fooled him casually: "Can't you, the Maya tribe (the bird-men tribe), also turn into bird eggs to be reborn and achieve immortality? In
It seems to me that your transformation ability is even more amazing."
"Even if you say that..." Hayato boy couldn't find a reason to refute, so he simply stopped talking.
"Then, like this -" Edmund began to use the abilities of the stalkers to create an ice wall next to the window and block the window. However, the ice wall was transparent, and Elaine did not see any mystery.
"Well, yes, what's the use?" The white lion boy couldn't help but become curious.
"I processed the reflection angle of the ice surface. This is the same principle as magic glass. It is transparent when looking out from our side, but it looks like a mirror when viewed from the outside, and we cannot see the scene inside." Ed
Meng explained: "Stalkers can use ice spells, and they can control the structure of ice very delicately, similar to the mermaids."
Elaine had only seen Edmund who turned into a stalker use ice arrows and ice fog magic, but she never expected that Edmund could do this.
"No... Art talents can't do this kind of thing. They can even cast an ice cube magic." Zuoli said, "How can you do something that even they can't do? Is this really a transformation spell?"
"
"Uncle Edmund's transformation skill is special. Don't worry about the details." Bailey said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, I'll take care of the other windows as well." Edmund began to block the windows one by one with magic mirror-like ice cubes, until he had sealed all the windows on all four sides of the second floor. People outside could not monitor the interior of the second floor.
The situation is so bad - we can't even peek at Elaine taking a shower.
"The magic can last for about two hours." Edmund turned back into the blood lion: "Let's take a bath quickly before the ice cubes melt."
Elaine shrugged and found a place far away from the light beam to put down the rubber boat. After starting the small air pump on it, the rubber boat automatically inflated and expanded. Soon its outer circle was inflated enough to become a fence.
height, and the rubber boat made of Luna silicone is as transparent as a balloon. Elaine poured clean water into the fenced-in middle area - which was also squeezed out from the particles of Luna silicone. She took a shower within a few minutes
The water is ready.
"Wow, it's warm." Bailey put his hand into the water and explored it: "The stuffy heat here can actually affect the bath water that was just put in."
Elaine then took out a small talisman-like dagger and smeared some frozen rosin on it. The small dagger without a blade activated the magic of the rosin. He then put the dagger into the water, and the water in the rubber boat turned into cool cold water.
.
"You, you really won't catch a cold after washing this, right?" Elaine looked at the little fox with a little worry.
"It's okay, it's such a muggy weather after all." Bailey took off his pants and jumped into the water.
"You are so awesome. You actually made a bathtub at home. Those Yat people never imagined that they could do this." Zuoli also came over and explored the water with his hand: "It's ice water! It's really great!"
"The Art people can also use ice spells, why haven't they thought of bathing in ice water?" Edmund took off his clothes and soaked in the water.
"It's because of their culture. They think that bathing in cold water will affect your health and cause strokes." Hayato took off his crotch cloth and climbed into the pool: "Oh - it's so refreshing! I have never felt so comfortable in my life."
Bath!"
"Brain, brain stroke, what the hell..." Elaine also climbed into the bathtub, and the heat on her body was instantly dissipated by the coldness.
"That's right, what the hell is a stroke?" Zuoli complained: "Don't compare me who is all hairy with them who only have scales. I am very hot with hair."
Elaine couldn't hold back her laughter.
But he understood to some extent that he really couldn't let Xuli stay here any longer.
Although they still couldn't fully trust this Hayato, it was too pitiful to keep this child in such a barbaric tribe. At least they had to rescue Xuri from this place. After he was rescued, they could consider other things.
"So, how do we escape from here?" So, Elaine lowered her voice and said.
