Chapter 1497: Dungeon
Shivana looked at the burning torch in her hand and said, "It doesn't look like a cemetery, it's an underground city." Although it has been abandoned for a long time, there is still air flowing. ”
There was a click under his feet, and something was broken, and Liu Yu lifted his foot to see that it was the leg bone of an unknown animal that had turned white. Shivana has seen a lot, she picked up the half of the bone that was broken by Liu Yu, pinched it, and the white powder immediately peeled off: "The time of abandonment here is very long, and the bones can change into this shape, at least after hundreds of years." ”
"Do you see what's coming?" Liu Yu asked, releasing his divine thoughts and starting to scan the entire area.
"Generally speaking, there are only two races that can build castles underneath, one is dwarves and the other is goblins. There is no such thing as the legendary pinnacle of goblin civilization, and it looks more likely to be a dwarven castle. According to historical records, although the dwarves never became the masters of the continent, they also established their own nations, and it is said that in their most glorious moments, they once built a huge castle under them that was not inferior to the Glorious Holy City......"
I don't know what design is used in this underground city, and the cold environment in the mine can't affect it at all, except that there is no blue sky above my head, and I feel a little depressed, the size of this place is no different from that of ordinary cities. Liu Yu and Sivana walked side by side, shocked by the sheer size of the city. They walked for a long time, but there was still no end in sight. The architecture of the castle is simple and practical, with a clear separation between the various functional zones, residential and commercial, and the main road in the middle is very wide enough to allow six horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time.
Sivana sighed slightly: "It seems that most of them were evacuated, and the few who remained may be slaves, or people who have not had time to evacuate." The reason why we were able to see the bodies when we first came in was probably because they all knew that it was a storage room and wanted to get food, but the door was so strong at the time that so many lives were lost......"
When they came out, they rarely saw corpses, and occasionally they saw the corpses of some small animals, and they didn't know if they were pets that no one had time to take away thousands of years ago. Shivana and Liu Yu were in a residential area, and walked into a house with an open door, the doors and windows inside were all rotted, and only a pile of wood ashes could be seen on the furniture, and some of the houses still had some iron tools, but they were all rusty. The two of them went around the business district again, and found that the shops were all clean, and even if there were things, they could not compete with the magic of time, and they were all worthless.
"It seems that this is an empty city, and there should be no wealth." Shivana said.
Liu Yu shook his head and expressed his disagreement: "No, this city itself is the greatest wealth. ”
The scale of this dungeon is several times larger than the city of Demacia, the king of the kingdom of Demacia, that Liu Yu knows, and the structure is very reasonable, with sewers and garbage disposal, which can be said to be a very good place. Liu Yu said that the premonition of the great crisis originated from the ground, and now such a huge dungeon suddenly appeared, isn't it the shelter given to him by the Heavenly Dao?!
However, the Heavenly Dao of this world would not be so good to Liu Yu, and he could get such a huge opportunity entirely because of ...... Liu Yu glanced at Shivana, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Shivana was inexplicably flustered by Liu Yu's eyes, and hurriedly affirmed his words: "Indeed, this city is only worth its own value. ”
"What do you think about redeveloping it and rebuilding a city?" Liu Yu asked Shivana's opinion, for the "glimmer of life" in this world, he couldn't let it go.
"It takes a lot of money." Liu Yu's sudden words made Shivana silent, and then she opened her mouth to say such a sentence.
"Don't think anyone is as poor as you." Hearing Shivana's answer, Liu Yu frowned directly.
"Don't think anyone is as rich as you." Shivana said: "The city of Demacia at that time cost countless manpower and material resources, and the cost of finding out alone was tens of millions of gold coins...... The city is underground, and although there is a ready-made template, it is very inconvenient to transport all kinds of materials for later construction. How much do you think it will cost? ”
Liu Yu directly hypothesized: "If I can rebuild the city and then enact certain policies, do you think it will attract people to move in or trade?" ”
Shivana thought for a moment: "I don't know, I don't know anything about administration, but I feel that this city is not bad, but the advantages are not great, not everyone likes to live underground, except for those guys from the Thieves Guild." ”
"What if there is the best enjoyment in the world, the safest protection, where you can buy things that you can't buy anywhere else, if the business tax here is only one-tenth of what you have outside?"
Shivana was silent for a moment, then said, "It costs a lot of money. ”
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched, how poor are you guys, they all said it was hypothetical, can you say that you can't do it? You don't have to think about money.
In Liu Yu's glare, Sivana finally said, "If this is really the case, maybe it will become an underground holy city alongside the Radiant Holy City and the Dark Night Holy City. ”
Liu Yu and Sivana continued to walk, Liu Yu used his divine mind to observe the progress of the opening of the mine, but it was not much different from what the miners had said at the beginning, and it would take a few days. During this time, Liu Yu happened to come to get acquainted with this ancient underground city.
Because there is no light source in the dungeon, it is not cost-effective to use torches to light a large area, and it is easy to cause fires, and the lighting here is made of moonlight grass that can shine in the dark. The dotted light is scattered on the road and the walls, full of wild fun. Although this city can be evaluated as dead and silent, it is not peaceful in a different mood.
"It's the heart of the city right ahead, and hopefully we'll find something." Liu Yu took out some jerky and some bread from the storage ring and handed them to Shivana, and began to eat them himself.
The city was so big that they had walked for a long time to barely reach the heart of the city. You must know that Liu Yu and Shivana are both high-level warriors, their speed is not slow, and they still take the optimal route that Liu Yu chose in advance.
Sivana chewed on her food and said, "Usually there is some information in this kind of place, and even if the dwarves are not a race that likes books and records, what we need to worry about now is whether those things have been corroded. ”
The two continued on their walk for a while and finally reached the center of the city. It is a larger building than any other house, very tall, with four floors and a large area. Compared to the rugged architecture of other places, it is more elaborate, and the walls are carved with fine and delicate patterns.
"It's like the handiwork of an elf." Sivana looked at the patterns and said, "I heard that the elves and the dwarves have a good relationship, and the moonlight grass in the city may also be made by them, and it is said that every elf is an excellent master gardener. ”
"Let's go in and have a look!"
The building, which resembles an administrative building, is closed, and because the gate is made of stone, it is still very well preserved after so many years. Shivana pushed open the gate, and they saw a small courtyard. This small courtyard is quite special, it is not planted with any flowers or plants, or a stone table to drink tea, etc., but is full of weapons. Although time has made these weapons no longer sharp, Liu Yu can imagine the brilliance of these weapons thousands of years ago.
Sivana walked to the side of the small courtyard, picked up a pair of hammers, danced them, and commented: "It is true that the dwarves are all weapon forging masters, and the weapons here are all high-grade weapons. However, it can be seen that the weapons left here are the most bulky weapons, and perhaps when an accident occurs, they take the best weapons away, leaving only these inconvenient ones. ”
"There should be something more important in it." Liu Yu ignored Sivana, who was fascinated by weapons outside, and stepped inside. On the first floor, which may have been a visitor, Liu Yu saw a lot of chairs, he walked over and reached out to touch them slightly, and those chairs did not turn into a pile of dust like the other furniture that Liu Yu had begun to see in the city.
"It looks like a very precious wood, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of tree it is made of, and the craftsmanship should not be simple." Liu Yu thought as he touched the texture of the wood on the chair. It was the best thing he'd seen in almost a day, at least not a sign of decay. Maybe if you take it out, you can sell it as an antique for a lot of money.
Without too much nostalgia, after discovering that there should be nothing important on the first floor, Liu Yu went up to the second floor. The second floor adheres to the usual style of dwarves, clean and rough, but there are some paper-like things scattered on the ground, but they are all weathered. Now there is only the third floor left, because Liu Yu on the fourth floor already knows that it is an empty rooftop through his divine thoughts.
There were also some things that looked like paper scattered on the ground on the third floor, and Liu Yu skimmed over these things and saw that there were some things in the cabinet that should be made of the same material as the chairs on the first floor. Liu Yu hopes that it can be some design drawings of the city or something, although he can also detect the map of the city, but there are many designs that should not be easy to find, with the original drawings, he will be much more convenient.
You must know that sometimes dwarves will even mark all the mineral deposits near their residence on the map one by one, Liu Yu has some luck hope that he may be able to find another mineral deposit as precious as the magic crystal when he obtains the map. However, Liu Yu's hopes came to naught, and he did get books that were not rotten in the cabinet, but those things were magic books, because they could only be kept for a long time because of magic, and they were not the map that Liu Yu hoped for.
"Actually, the magic book is not bad." Liu Yu comforted himself. In the market, the value of magic books is very high, but Liu Yu doesn't need this kind of thing, his cultivation method is different from that of the Varoran, and the magic system of this world can only give him more knowledge!
At this moment, Shivana finally threw away the pile of scrap iron and walked up, she saw Liu Yu holding something in her hand, so she asked, "Found it?" ”
"No, it's all useless things, these are magic books, you see if it's useful......" Liu Yu said indifferently, and then threw it casually and gave the magic book directly to Shivana.
Liu Yu doesn't care about magic books, Shivana is not like this, although she is a half-dragon, she has been in the human world for a long time, she also understands the value of magic books, many nobles do not have a set of magic books in their homes, and the heirlooms of many great nobles are also a magic book. She was a little frightened and took the magic book that was definitely more than a thousand years old, carefully turned two pages, and then frowned: "It's the magic book of the elves." ”
"Yes, the relationship between elves and dwarves is really good, this magic book is probably given by elves, but who doesn't know that dwarves are a race without magical talents." Liu Yu waved his hand, feeling that the situation of dwarves and elves might be explained by having a treacherous relationship.
####################################################
With the secret help of Liu Yu, who had finished exploring the dungeon, it only took three days for the miners to see the light of day again. The man named Tydamir, who was at the head of the miners, began to search the valley for people as soon as he got out, and before he could close his eyes.
Because of the remoteness of Lockefa, all the people in the town were dead, so the corpse of Shurima's side in the valley was not found, except for some traces of wild beasts that had eaten it, they were still in place. Those broken bodies not only did not frighten the miners, but made them shed tears of relief.
Liu Yu returned to Lockefa with the miners, who had vented some of their anger a little, and the humble tombstone at the entrance of the town made the emotionally fragile begin to cry. Grief is contagious, and when the first person starts crying, all of them start crying. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
"Lockfa is not safe right now, if you can, you should go and take shelter somewhere else for a while." Liu Yu advised the group.
Sivana stood next to Liu Yu, and still felt that Liu Yu was a little kind of woman. Liu Yu has already said that he will rebuild the underground city, and now he knows the underground city, in addition to the two of them, there are also these people. There are almost a hundred miners, and a few of them are not tight-mouthed, so it is easy to expose the news. Although Liu Yu did not tell these people his identity, there are no absolutes in the world, and it is too unstable for this group of people to stay and let them leave by themselves.
"We were born in Lockefar, and we hope to die in Lockefar." The older man among the miners said, and the others nodded.
Liu Yu looked at them, was silent for a moment, and then said: "The magic crystal mine has been sealed by me, don't go down in the future, just live on the ground!" I forgot to introduce that I am Brett Liu, the lord of Freljord, and you are my people, and I will support you in rebuilding Locke. Death is never the only choice, since you have the courage to choose death, then do you still have the courage to choose to live! Those who have died, they will not want you to accompany them, they will want you to live better. ”
