The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1277
Lin Tianci came to Lemuria mainly for the fragments. Although he was involved in a pirate attack during this period and met a god by the way, the fundamental purpose remained the same.

The one who snatched the fragments was the Shadow Heart Pirates. They all brought up this reason to say that they have something to discuss, so they must go and have a look.

"Who is this Mr. Victor?"

"A very legendary figure. He built the Lighthouse Fort by himself. It is rumored that he has a lot of connections with the wave guards. Even the pirates who roam around respect him a little. He is a black and white figure. .”

It feels like a wolf fire.

These supply stations that are independent from the country and city-state are like independent countries. Although it is a good thing for merchants to build supply stations on the sea, it is not for everyone.

First of all, you have to be rich, and secondly, you have to have connections.

Otherwise, the supply station floating on the sea would be the target of robbery by pirates, and it would be an extremely high-quality fat sheep.

Therefore, anyone who has the ability to set up a supply station on the sea is a person with good hands and eyes, and no two brushes can't afford this bowl of rice.

And it was very abnormal for this kind of person to say that he wanted to meet Miranda.

They generally don't get in touch with the leaders of various countries, because there is no need for this, and from the look of the messenger, it seems that she is expected to come to the Lighthouse Fort, so they deliberately sent eyeliners to guard the port. Come and get the news.

The reason why this person insists on seeing Miranda...

Anyway, when Lin Tianci asked about this matter, Miranda kept shaking her head and remained silent. She didn't know whether she was pretending to be confused or she really didn't understand.

Since the other party's intentions were unclear, Lin Tianci, who was the best at fighting, was called in. After all, he was also a bodyguard. He usually just basked in the sun on the boat and didn't do anything. It was very profitable.

Following the rickety wooden path because of floating on the water, the two passed through the buildings of the lighthouse castle and walked towards the most central lighthouse.

That's the core of the entire Lighthouse Fort, and Mr. Victor lives there.

It wasn't obvious from the pier, but after entering the interior of the Lighthouse Fort, Lin Tianci realized that this place was very different from the water city Venice he imagined.

Venice was built on mud anyway. Although it is called a water city, its main body is still fixed on the seabed.

A place like the Lighthouse Fort is different, it is completely floating on the water, like a big ship connected together, stepping on the ground of the Lighthouse Fort, there is actually no essential difference from being on a ship.

Because of the limited buoyancy, the buildings here are all made of wood, and there are no tall and heavy buildings. At first glance, it looks like a slum area full of shacks, and the smell of alcohol and salted fish is everywhere along the way. The environment is really not good.

Keep going, and when you get close to the lighthouse, you will see some rocky parts.

It was a very standard square stone platform with a side length of about a hundred meters. The huge stone lighthouse was built on the qualified platform.

On the edge of the platform, you can see that ropes as thick as Lin Tianci's waist are connected to the surrounding wooden buildings, so that the entire lighthouse castle will not fall apart.

To use a more appropriate metaphor, the painting style of this place is similar to the chain boat that Boss Cao did back then, except that it is on the sea and fixed near a stone platform.

But if you look carefully, you will find that there are still a lot of exquisite and complicated patterns and lines left on the edge of the stone platform, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a large and strong platform on the sea, even if someone wants to do it. Construction technology is also a big problem.

That's right, it's still an ancient elf.

For the ancient elves, the plane of Lemuria is the same as the land of no light. It is a raw material production place for obtaining precious metals and gems. Now the platform that Lin Tianci sees is actually a drilling platform built by the ancient elves. It was built to excavate underwater minerals, but the mining facilities that were originally on it have long since disappeared.

The huge pipeline extends from the platform on the sea surface to the bottom of the sea. Through the elevator, it enters the bottom of the sea to dig ore, and prevents the backflow of sea water by the power of magic.

When a catastrophe occurs, all things that rely on magic to run become extremely unreliable, and the same is true for the huge pipeline under the platform. The mine inside has already collapsed, and the earth and rocks from the bottom of the sea are like blowout oil, completely blocked the entire pipeline.

However, the solidity and durability of the things made by the ancient elves are incredible. When the impact of the catastrophe gradually disappears, the platform will still play the role it was given. Circumventing the magic effect, this makes the lighthouse castle not afraid of any wind and waves, so it can be established as a fairly large-scale supply point.

After half a circle around the lighthouse, Miranda found a bridge connected to the stone platform, and there were two similar bridges, leading to different directions.

The bridge itself is built with wrist-thick ropes and planks, which can only be regarded as passing people, but its stability is rather nonsense. It swayed non-stop when walking up, and Lin Tianci once doubted whether this thing would break.

After stepping on the stone platform that originally belonged to the ancient elves, I finally felt down-to-earth.

Under the lighthouse, there were a few guards with knives standing beside the gate, but they should have gotten the news in advance, and when they saw Miranda and Lin Tianci coming, they didn't even ask who they were, and opened the door very silently to signal them go in.

The interior of the lighthouse is actually divided into many layers, but they are connected by spiral ramps. The room on the bottom floor stores the fuel and oil needed for the lighthouse to burn, and also stores the mechanical components needed to turn the lighthouse lights.

This also caused the air to be filled with a very strong and pungent smell, like some kind of volatile oily substance.

It is also because of this that the lighting in the lighthouse is the cold light of the magic lamp, instead of using a torch to save trouble, otherwise there is no way to put out the fire in the event of a fire.

Immediately after entering the door, a well-dressed person came to greet him, he should be a butler, he saluted Miranda and asked:
"Your Highness Miranda, Mr. Victor is waiting for you on the third floor."

Immediately he looked at Lin Tianci:

"Who is this……?"

"My crew is also my guard."

Victor seemed to want to see Miranda alone. The appearance of Lin Tianci made the greeters hesitant to speak, but he didn't seem to be too entangled, so he asked casually and made a gesture of please to lead the way.

The interior of the lighthouse uses a rotating upward slope instead of steps. This is because of the need to transport fuel. If steps are used, the efficiency of moving up a barrel is too low. They use a special trolley with brakes. The wheels only It can turn forward, and once it becomes unstable and reverses, the brakes will be automatically locked to avoid accidents.

However, the disadvantage of this kind of slope is that walking up is not as comfortable as the steps, but this small problem can be ignored.

I don’t know if Mr. Victor has a delusion of being murdered, or the lighthouse castle he controls is too prosperous and easy to be peeped at. Along the way, there are almost five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. The defense is extremely tight. Every time Lin Tianci and Miranda pass by , which guards will scan up and down with scrutiny, as if trying to figure out where it is more appropriate to cut the knife, and feel more hostile.

The monk's perception is very keen, and of course Lin Tianci will not fail to notice this kind of gaze. In fact, their somewhat explicit gaze also makes Miranda feel uncomfortable.

Although she didn't have a big sword on her back, she also had a long sword hanging around her waist. Perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere, Miranda's hand touched the hilt of the sword unconsciously after entering the door.

The small movements of the two did not cause any problems. Along the rotating upward slope, the suspected housekeeper led them to a room on the third floor, and the guard at the door pushed open the elegant mahogany door.

Behind this is Mr. Victor's office.

The area is not small, about two to three hundred square meters, but there are many decorations in the room, such as huge fish specimens, wooden glass cabinets that look expensive at first glance, and leather sofas.

And this office may be right on the edge of the bottom of the lighthouse. There are bright and transparent large floor-to-ceiling windows directly in front and on the left side. You can clearly see the blue ocean in the distance. You can also see a terrace outside the window, which seems to be a good place for sunbathing. place.

Facing the door is a large desk with ornaments such as coral or crystal on it. Sitting behind the desk is a middle-aged man about 50 years old.

He has a shiny forehead, and he appears directly as a big bald head. At least he doesn't need to go to a barber in this vast sea. Not only is it easy to get a haircut, but it's also cool...

Apart from this feature, this middle-aged man has no other features worth mentioning. From the first impression, he is more like a middle-aged man who has a shrewd wife at home and a submissive middle-aged man at work. It doesn't look outstanding.

However, his temperament is unusual, he feels more like a particularly successful entrepreneur, a kind of full confidence flows out of his gestures.

When Lin Tianci and Miranda entered the door, he turned the boss chair under his buttocks, facing the two of them:

"Welcome, Your Highness Miranda, please allow me to extend my sincerest greetings."

This was pure politeness, and he went on to say:

"I am the steward of the Lighthouse Castle, Victor."

So far, they have been quite friendly, and Miranda introduced herself briefly and made some polite remarks.

This is a normal meeting process. No matter where you meet, it is right to be polite first, but this kind of pleasantries will not last forever. Victor maintained a standard businessman smile and said:

"Is this gentleman your Highness's guard? I have something to talk to His Highness Miranda alone."

This is already a very clear intention to let Lin Tianci avoid suspicion.

Little brother Lin didn't care, he wasn't the main character in this matter, and he ran with Miranda mainly for the whereabouts of the fragments of the Extreme Blue Brilliance star, otherwise he wouldn't suffer the crime of ocean voyage.

But Miranda disagreed with Lin Tianci's avoidance, and said bluntly:

"Mr. Victor, just tell me if you have anything to do. I believe you didn't send someone to wait for me just to chat."

This is not very polite, because Miranda smelled a hint of danger from Victor's actions...
