Don't call me evil god

Chapter 918 Free Fall!

Right above the big elevator.

Several dwarves were pouring buckets of clean water onto the mechanical devices.

A small part flowed down along the metal frame at the edge of the iron cage.

Pete reached out and touched the frame in a daze.

Cool to the touch.

"cold water?"

After a few seconds of silence, Pete suddenly reacted!

"Oh! Falk!"

"When the mechanical device is running at high intensity, it will generate high heat. The water is used to dissipate the heat and cool it down!"

The three years he spent at Carron Offa College were still useful to Pete. After all, it was a college funded by the goblin Carron, and it had an elective department related to goblin engineering.

Pete has briefly learned some introductory content.

Splashing water to cool down is one of the common sense knowledge.

Many of Goblin Engineering's products are not designed with any provisions for heat dissipation or cooling. When in use, they basically rely on physical cooling methods such as pouring water on them.

"The big elevator is ready to start, countdown!"

"Five, four, three..."

Because the person operating the device outside was a dwarf, the reminder was naturally given in dwarven language.

When Pete used [Language Mastery] to understand the other party's meaning, the countdown was about to end.

“…Two, one!”

"Everyone stand firm..."

Pete grabbed Reina's right hand and spoke anxiously to try to remind her.

I didn't have time to finish the second half of the sentence.

The whole person felt as if his feet were empty!
A strong feeling of weightlessness instantly swept over the whole body!

Everyone who entered the big elevator realized with horror that this so-called "descent" was actually a fucking free fall!!!

It is nothing like the elevator platform outside the Wall of Edson that is slowly pulled by the manpower of dwarves!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

When the first person couldn't help but scream.

Panic spread quickly like a plague!
Everyone couldn't help but scream.

The big elevator was descending. No, it should be said that its falling speed had reached an extreme speed. In the bottomless straight passage, it was falling rapidly towards the depths of the underground like a cannonball!
There was only one thought in Pete's mind:
"After the dwarves repaired this thing, how did they test it?"

"Send a poor guy in there and start it up. If he can make it to the abyss alive, it means it's functioning normally. If he's smashed into a pulp, it means he needs to continue repairing it, right?"

Although everyone can roughly guess that this is the "normal operation mode" of the large elevator leading to the deep area, the feeling of falling like a free fall and the oppression of getting closer and closer to the depths of the earth still make everyone subconsciously use screaming to relieve the pressure in their hearts!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Falling, falling, and falling continuously.

Half a minute?
One minute?

“…Buzz!”

It was difficult for everyone to determine how much time had passed in this crazy fall, until a noticeable buzzing sound suddenly appeared amid the crazy screams.

The "iron cage" frame of the large elevator began to emit a faint reddish light.

The reddish light grew brighter and brighter in just a few seconds.

That feeling of being grounded is starting to return.

"Thank goodness it's slowing down!"

Someone shouted hoarsely. Bron Freeman looked very unhappy, as if he wanted to find a place to vomit.

This crazy free fall swept away all the sleepiness and drunkenness of everyone. At this moment, everyone's heart was beating out of their throat, and their faces were filled with expressions of relief as if they were exhausted after a shock.

"Huh...huh..."

Gail and Miranda hugged each other tightly and took several deep breaths before they separated. At this time, the speed of the elevator had become very normal, even slow.

"I don't want to ride this thing again in my life... Ugh..."

Petunia turned pale and retched in the middle of her speech.

Even if they died in free fall or something like that, everyone can return to the Altar of Creation to resurrect at any time.

But this extremely exciting experience is obviously beyond the tolerance of many people.

Before the big elevator started, no one knew that it would fall in free fall!
"How did it slow down... and take us with it?"

Hugo's face was also green and pale, but his curiosity about how the big elevator worked made him look up at the passage above.

Four extremely thick iron chains were tied to the four corners of the "iron cage", extending upward and disappearing into the depths of a straight passage of unknown length.

Braon dry-heaved twice, frowned and explained: "We don't know how it did it. It has something to do with the gray dwarves and dark elves."

"Over at the Stone Fort, when the big elevator is activated every month, it is made to fall into the abyss as fast as it did just now."

"In a day, the dwarf in charge of operating the big elevator will start the device that controls it, and the device will pull it up little by little."

"This process will take about 30 days."

Pete suddenly realized: "No wonder the big elevator only starts once a month."

Braum nodded, then cursed with a dark face: "Gok, I would rather jump into the lava lake than experience that feeling again!"

Everyone nodded vigorously with sympathy.

"Deep underground" is synonymous with danger, mystery, and depression.

Coupled with the feeling of despair as if one is falling endlessly, the psychological pressure that one has to endure during free fall is enormous.

Even Brandon, who was always very courageous, couldn't help but pray silently to Norman, and only felt relieved after confirming that he could get a response from the gods.

Some legends about the deep areas have mentioned that because this mysterious place is located very deep underground, at least thousands of meters away from the surface, even the prayers of believers will be affected, making it difficult for them to receive a response.

"Really, damn... How deep is the Abyss? It's too deep!"

Dolan looked up with a serious expression towards the passage he came from.

Although they were still descending slowly, the lighting level around them was almost zero, and the passage above was pitch black.

The only means of illumination was the bright red light emitted by the frame of the large elevator "cage".

The red light made everyone's faces look red, as if they were stained with a layer of blood.

“Clang…clang!”

There was a sound of something heavy being dragged around.

Followed by.

Everyone's feet shook.

The descent of the great elevator finally came to a complete stop.

The red light emanating from the iron cage faded.

The environment suddenly became so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

When the mages in the investigation team were about to chant the [Illumination] magic to provide light.

The scene in front of me suddenly lit up.
