The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 953 The City Under the Concrete

The sudden evacuation of all the ancient elves in the Lightless Realm may be related to their war with the dragons. All the ancient elf facilities in the Lightless Realm are basically undefended to the dragons.

But there seems to be something wrong. Isn’t this a place where rare minerals are produced? It stands to reason that the more wars are fought, the more attention should be paid to industrial production capacity. It is indeed a bit strange that the ancient elves would abandon this place because of the war.

Anyway, the truth has been submerged in the long river of history. Anyway, in terms of the result, all the ancient elves here are gone, only the humans brought by them are left.

In the heyday of the ancient elves, the number of humans attached to them was relatively small, and they did not value human vassals very much.In their eyes, human beings are roughly like raising a kitten and puppy.

At first, only a small number of humans were brought to the Lightless Realm. Later, the ancient elves discovered that humans were very good at learning, and it would be more cost-effective to entrust them with less important things related to the operation of the city.

Some technical positions are too complicated for golems, and it feels a bit wasteful to go directly to elves.This is the kind of position for which human beings are best suited.

As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two. If there is a leader, there will be followers. Soon, humans in the dark land will start to take up these technical positions. In addition, the reproduction speed of humans is much faster than that of elves. A large number of low-tech All positions can be replaced by humans, which greatly saves unnecessary expenses.

After all, as long as humans are given room and board, no other rewards are needed, which is really very economical.

This also means that when the ancient elves are evacuated, the humans who stay here can take over their legacy more smoothly and quickly. The existence of a large number of technical personnel also allows many facilities to continue to operate after the loss of the ancient elves, and even a lot of magic technology is preserved.

But even with the legacy of the ancient elves, it is still not easy for human beings to survive in the lightless realm.

At that time, human beings were responsible for positions with relatively low technical level and a large number of assignments.The ancient elves are not stupid, and they understand very well that non-human races have different hearts, and the real core things have never been opened to foreign races.

This also leads to the fact that after a long period of time after human beings accept it, they can only do simple maintenance and cannot really control it.

In the place of the Lightless Realm, huge shadow power fills the entire plane. No plant can survive in such a dark place. Even life forms like humans will weaken and die once exposed to the strong shadow power for too long.Therefore, the place of residence can only be in the huge city established by the ancient elves.

These full-scale cities are indeed huge, and they can indeed accommodate many people, and the total number exceeds twenty.

The transportation between cities is driven by magic, and it is disguised as a shadow monster-shaped transport vehicle. The beetle-shaped one that Brother Lin encountered can actually be regarded as a long-distance bus...

But you have to understand that the city of BC cannot be completely inhabited by people, and necessary areas such as farming and animal husbandry need to be set aside. The actual places that can be lived are still relatively limited.

And it is very difficult for human beings to expand themselves.

This is because there are also things called 'Shadow Monsters' out there.

These true aborigines are fundamentally adapted to the rich shadow energy of the Lightless Realm, and in their view, human beings, creatures that have not been eroded by shadow energy, are the most delicious food.

If you want to expand, you will inevitably need to construct outside, and you also need lighting.

This is equivalent to launching a big taunt, which will attract all the shadow monsters near the city, and it will get bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Therefore, the speed of human expansion in this plane is extremely slow. In order not to attract too many monsters, we can only build a little bit, stop work for a while, wait for the surrounding monsters to disperse, and then start work. Repeat this process.

With this kind of construction efficiency, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of building a huge city comparable to the ancient elves.

In addition, these shadow monsters occasionally appear in the cities. After all, these cities were built by the ancient elves. Even if the human beings took over and maintained them as much as possible, because they have no core authority, they will still inevitably become older and older. , will allow those shadow monsters to have loopholes to exploit.

Therefore, in addition to a large number of guards patrolling each city, there are several elite guards composed of very powerful characters. When shadow monsters appear, the guards are responsible for delaying the time, and they are responsible for annihilating them.

Also, if you get tired of being paid a dead wage and patrolling the city all day, you can do it yourself.

Receive tasks from the governments of different cities to deal with difficult monsters or guards, etc. Such people are generally very confident in their own skills, and they really have two brushes. They are called servants. soldier.

Because of the harsh living conditions and environment, the locals worshiped the strong. Whether it was an elite guard or a mercenary who worked alone, they were all in the order of worship, comparable to the idols of the whole people.

The people in the beetle car cheered when they saw Brother Lin, because they regarded him as a mercenary.

The above information comes from cliché inquiries, guesses from Lin Tianci and Sai Li, and records left by a small number of ancient elves.

The reason why Sally needs to dig through the information is because she has never been able to confirm the existence of the Agnostic Realm, and these uncertain information are not in the inheritance memory of the blue goblin.

It may be that the ancient elves imposed some restrictions on entering the Agnostic Realm through teleportation. The only records about the Aphotic Realm in Saili's hand are those who took advantage of the fire after the fall of the ancient elves... I mean the part that was obtained by chance The data is kept on file, and no one has ever been or heard of anyone who has been to the Lightless Realm since then.

Sai Li, who was very curious, got a brooch and hung it on Lin Tianci. The blue goblin, more than anything else, seems to be the most important.

Lin Tianci took the beetle-shaped coach and entered the city named Bariahat together. Because it was inherited from the ancient elves, Bariahat is actually a transliteration of the ancient elven language, which translates as ' Candlelight' or 'candlelight'.

Entering the city is also very troublesome. It needs to be sprayed and disinfected first, the polluted air is evacuated, and then clean air is injected to ensure that as little shadow power and any toxic substances as possible enter the city. This series of processes are almost in an airtight cabin huge space.

After finally getting in, they had to conduct individual physical examinations on each person. Fortunately, they didn't know how to confirm their identities, otherwise Brother Lin, the guy who sneaked in, would definitely reveal his secrets.

Entering the city, Lin Tianci is currently in a small garden not far from the station, within a 3-minute walk.

He sits on a park bench...

Hmm, I was dumbfounded.

Looking into the distance, you can see that this is a super-large square area. At the very edge of the city, you can also see the shimmering 'wall', which hangs on the edge like a curtain, or more like A waterfall made of rays.

Sai Li judged that it was a positive energy wall made by a positive energy launcher, which could effectively resist the prying eyes of shadow monsters.

Although the shadow power is not the sworn enemy of positive energy like negative energy, it does not feel that positive energy is very comfortable. In the eyes of the local shadow monsters, this wall of positive energy is an extremely smelly piece of shit, so try not to get close to it. .What Lin Tianci saw outside, the hazy aura that shrouded the entire periphery of the city, was actually it.

But the wall of positive energy is only to expel monsters, not to kill and defend.The ancient elves did not choose a more convenient and quick transparent dome when building here, because the shadow monsters are very hostile to fresh life, and the outside of the city is filled with thick, reinforced concrete-like materials for a protective layer, which is why Lin Tianci looked at it from the outside, and felt that it looked like a mountain.

In fact, it is true, it is just a mountain that has just entered the concrete, but it is hollow, and human beings live in the hollow.

If you look up, you will see the picturesque blue sky and white clouds.

In fact, it was really a painting, painted with powder paint, and at first glance there was nothing wrong with it, and if you looked closely, you could even see the faded parts.

The ancient elves obviously didn't like the environment of the Abyss. This kind of construction would make creatures living in the sun feel better and work more efficiently. It was not just for decoration.

Under the huge blue sky and white clouds, you can also see huge 'chandeliers' one by one.

It was a huge mountain-like ball of light, bound in a cage of metal structure, and they were lined up along the dome of the city, providing special lighting for the interior of the city, the kind that allowed plants to grow The light source is equivalent to the artificial sun.

Each 'chandelier' is fixed with more than a dozen chains of the same size, and between the chains you can see a series of high-altitude planks connected to the light sphere, which should be used for maintenance and repair.

Excluding these very eye-catching big things, passers-by who occasionally pass by or enter the park have all looked very curiously at Brother Lin sitting on the bench.

Because of his attire, in the eyes of the locals, it is really weird.

Compared to the plane of Sevilla, where Mannamora only taught some of the ancient elves' techniques, the humans here in the Lightless Realm have survived from the heyday of the ancient elves to the present, and most of their costumes retain the ancient Diversification in the age of elves.

That is to say, it is very trendy, whether it is buildings or clothing.

From the perspective of clothing, it is very similar to the painting style after the industrial revolution on the earth, and also retains the clothing style of the ancient elves, who like to wear loose and light-colored robes.

Lin Tianci was wearing a dark green cloak buttoned up on his body. This attire was almost non-mainstream, and of course it would be more eye-catching.

And our protagonist has no intention of caring about other people's eyes. The reason why he is so confused is that...

How does this shit find fragments!
