MC's career as foreign lord

Mo Sa, pulled away by the two, seemed to be discussing the finer details with them. Zhou Ren didn't really care about that.

He had just been called out from outside, and it was the scribe who used the elven notebook to call him. Now that these people had their own elven notebooks, they seemed to want to connect with him as well.

Zhou Ren didn't refuse anyone. This way, it would be much easier to get news in the future. After all, they were within the same system, and it would be a good thing to have some communication as future colleagues.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with mingling within the elven race. Anyway, they were all foreign races. Maybe he would feel more at home here?

Besides, Corellon's meaning was roughly that he would protect him in the elven race in the future. What could be more reassuring than the main god of a race speaking personally?

Zhou Ren comfortably savored this feeling, and then continued to plan his underground tunnel.

As mentioned earlier, the underground tunnel was actually not particularly long, but rather looked very smooth, which was also because Jim was relatively diligent.

Now that Zhou Ren wanted to use it as an underground warehouse, he needed to consider the problem of going up and down. It was impossible to rely on stairs to go up and down. It was not too close to the house, and it was actually closer to walk from the ground.

The area near the town was mostly mountains and forests. Although it was not very flat, it was wide enough. Zhou Ren was thinking of making a straight up and down elevator here.

At this time, of course, a water elevator could not be used. This thing could be used as a decoration in the outside world, but in the underground, it had no advantages except for taking up space.

So he thought of a new material, magma blocks!

In a certain version update, soul sand and magma blocks would have a peculiar effect when they encountered water, and this effect was actually a particularly good elevator material.

Zhou Ren would not admit that as a 1.12 holdout, he had not remembered that there was such a method at all. This was also something he thought of when he just saw these soils.

Naturally, there were other things involved, such as the issue of gold quality that was just discussed. Then he thought of the place with the most gold in this world, which was hell.

Thinking of hell naturally led to thinking of the underworld, thinking of the underworld led to thinking of the King of Hell, thinking of the King of Hell led to thinking of the monkeys and monkey grandchildren whose names were crossed out... forget it, the joke is a bit old.

Thinking of hell, naturally, he thought of the creations of hell, which are soul sand and magma blocks. These two creations of hell will produce strange changes when they encounter water.

(The MC's hell is the Nether, but it's just a habit to call it that, and it's different from the hell of this world, the hell of demons)

In fact, this is also the most common method of making water elevators later on. It is more operable, consumes fewer resources, and is not troublesome to operate.

Such a water elevator borrows the special reaction between Nether blocks and water. To be precise, it is the reaction between magma blocks and soul sand with water.

This reaction is called a bubble column. This is a special phenomenon that occurs after the water flow is stimulated. The effect is to create oxygen in the water.

This is actually the same as the effect of Zhou Ren putting a door in the water, because MC creatures lack air underwater, while the bubble column has enough air.

It can even be said that in places where bubble columns exist, there is no need to go to the surface to breathe and can persist for a long time. This is also a new feature.

Then we have to talk about the different characteristics of the two blocks. Although they both produce water columns in the water, it is obvious that there are still some differences between the water columns.

The characteristic of soul sand is that the bubbles protrude, which will generate an upward bubble column, pushing all blocks, creatures, and entities in the water to the surface.

Moreover, this characteristic also has a limit. The deeper the water flow, the faster the water column will rise. It seems that there is a special fixed value.

The bubble column of the magma block is the opposite force, that is, suction. It will suck players or block entities into the water, causing a downward movement effect.

Zhou Ren was preparing to use such a method to create his own underground water elevator. This straight up and down effect should be very good.

However, before making this water elevator, he also needed to do some preliminary preparation work, which is the preparation of the blocks and the establishment of the location.

Whether it is a magma block or a water elevator, the effect can only be achieved with Nether blocks, and Zhou Ren has not gone to the Nether yet.

Now he is going to take a good trip! Even if he doesn't go today, in the future, for his money plan, it is necessary to go to the Nether to brush gold.

Zhou Ren has always been very curious about how the MC rules of this world are implemented under the circumstances of his appearance. Then how are such rules implemented in the Nether?

Does it independently open an interface in the abyss of the Nether, or does it merge with a certain world, or does it directly generate a world in the void?

The collision of this world with the world is still very interesting to think about!

But before that, he still needs a little protection. Zhou Ren doesn't know if there will be monsters in that world, or if he will be surrounded by a group of devils or demons the moment he passes?

"There are no monsters in the main world now, will there be any in other worlds?" Zhou Ren thought of zombies and skeletons, as well as those mod monsters. If they appear, it will not be as simple as a bloody storm!

Thinking of it, he did it. With this goal in mind, Zhou Ren's actions were never slow. After marking a point, he dug down without hesitation!

This is the location of the huge cave dug out by Jim in the underground. He wanted to dig a hole and mark it with a torch, and also made a simple passage with a ladder.

A passage was made before, but it was in another direction, and the two directions were hundreds of meters apart, without affecting each other.

Zhou Ren just had a bold idea, and he was not prepared to realize it immediately. Now he doesn't know the situation in the Nether at all. Even if he can make the Nether portal, he should find a bold tool person to try it out!

"O'Halloran, as the Great Druid Elder of the Elven race, shouldn't be afraid of hell?" Zhou Ren thought silently, this elder who he was not very familiar with was suddenly targeted by him!

O'Halloran, who was originally walking towards this side, suddenly felt a little cold, and looked around suspiciously, "Is someone putting a curse on my soul? It shouldn't be!"

His sensitivity and perception are extremely high. Even if someone really did this, he could react, but all of this is not too necessary!

"Forget it, maybe I'm just being suspicious!" He shook his head and saw the two people being sent out from Zhou Ren's territory, "Oster? Quillion? How did you get here?"

It's no wonder he was surprised. In fact, he had only left the Council Hall for a very short time, but the two people in front of him had already come out of Zhou Ren's territory, which made him think a little more.

"Oh! Is that so!" Quillion was taciturn, merely bowing and saluting, then spreading his hands, letting Auster speak.

This elven mage quickly became familiar with his role, recounting their request to Zhou Ren for authorization, and adding, "Lord Zhou Ren has agreed to our request, and Lord Mosa even said that if we encounter any accidents, he will come to the rescue!"

The specific meaning was, of course, not as simple as he put it, but in Mosa's mind, Zhou Ren had said he would safeguard the security of his territory, which was also something he had to do.

"No wonder…" O'Halloran nodded. "Go ahead, the east is indeed undefended, it's right to set up some defenses, but that area is actually Lord Zhou Ren's territory?"

Thinking about it, that side is indeed difficult to defend, with sparse mines and deserts. It's estimated that green dragons, who love nature, wouldn't be interested in that place.

But this dragon is clearly more cunning and suspicious this time, and seems a bit smarter than the previous dragons. It might change its attack location.

If this were a red dragon, I'm afraid that on the day it arrived in this area, all the towns except Val City would be reduced to nothing, and there wouldn't be so many affiliated races attacking.

O'Halloran thought for a moment, then took off a seed from his body. "Take this seed of the Tree of Life with you. If something happens, throw it out, and I will feel it!"

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Auster said. The elven race's only two Grand Elders certainly deserved such gratitude.

The newest novels are available first at [Liǔ][Jiǔ] [Shū][Bā]!

O'Halloran glanced at the territory in front of him. At this moment, he discovered that from the gate of the territory onwards, everything inside was not real, but rather the image of the territory in his mind.

In other words, whatever he imagined the territory to be, that's what this place would become.

O'Halloran looked at the place again. Now, the mysteries surrounding Zhou Ren were increasing, but due to the intervention of a certain cynical god, he could only watch.

Of course, he wasn't here to find Zhou Ren at this time. He had said before that he would give a reply later. Him eagerly rushing over now would only lower the elven race's credibility.

He needed to go to the front line. The night before, Shea and a few reckless fellows almost suffered a disaster, and it was Mosa who helped to resolve the situation. This matter was a big deal in the eyes of the elven scouts!

Seemingly because they discovered a legendary combatant on this side, the green lizard seemed even more cautious. The Silvermoon Elves and the Silver Dragon race had a good relationship, but they didn't have much reverence for green dragons.

So, after they discovered this bad news, they had to tell the current war coordinator—O'Halloran. So, before going to Val City, he needed to go to the wilderness to track down the green dragon!

Druids who can transform into dragonkin should be the creatures most like green dragons. After all, green dragons can also use natural magic or live in harmony with the natural world, which means that—once dragonkin and giant dragons fight, they really only have one solution, and that is a brawl!

O'Halloran was very busy now and certainly didn't want to resolve the battle in this way, so he waved his staff and turned into a huge eagle, surveying the wilderness and dropping lightning to completely eliminate some of the monsters approaching the town!

This was to leave room for the town's defenses, and also to release owl vision to detect the green dragon's movements. As long as the owl vision saw the green dragon, he could rush back using Val City's teleportation array in time!

"Oh! What a pleasant surprise!" Zhou Ren said with some emotion. Mosa hurriedly went to the area where the mine was located, reportedly to meet with those two people there and establish a defense line in the mine area.

He ran around like a general manager, managing the food for Zhou Ren's territory, allowing him to calm down and study his own things.

The reason Zhou Ren said it was a pleasant surprise was that he saw the magma blocks not far from the lava pool. The terrain here seemed to have really been completely changed. He didn't find the ruins, nor did he find the underwater magma blocks, but there were special magma blocks here!

This area was where he had previously dug sand. There were several lava pools of varying sizes here, and then he saw the magma blocks next to the pools.

Magma blocks are a kind of square stone covered with flame patterns. They can be considered a condensation of the power of magma. If someone steps on them on the ground, it will cause slight fire burning damage.

Also, a very interesting point is that MC's sneaking state can also avoid fire damage, as well as fire resistance enchantments and Frost Walker.

This is also a unique characteristic of magma blocks, unlike fire and lava, which will scorch any attribute except fire immunity!

He began to mine magma blocks. Whether used as traps, decorations, or simply as a fire pit, these things are quite effective!

This is also an improvement in a certain version. Igniting flames on magma blocks will obtain the effect of netherrack, which is "eternal unquenchable fire," and will burn forever unless extinguished.

Speaking of this, Zhou Ren remembered another characteristic, which is the flame characteristic of soul sand. He remembered that in the upcoming version, soul sand will be bound to a flame called soul fire.

This is a blue flame, called soul fire. Except for the color, there is no difference from ordinary flames, but this is a magical world!

Zhou Ren didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if he lit a soul fire here. Would it burn souls?

But the prerequisite for all of this is that he has to go to hell. Now he has to quickly scoop out a few buckets of magma and build the shell of the Nether portal first.

Although he doesn't have diamonds now and can't make a diamond pickaxe to mine obsidian, there is a clever way to make a Nether portal, which is magma casting.

As everyone knows, magma will condense into obsidian when it encounters water, and the smallest obsidian portal requires ten blocks to form a key enclosure. In order not to leave regrets for his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Zhou Ren specially scooped out fourteen buckets of magma.

"Where should the Nether portal be built?" Zhou Ren fell into deep thought while holding the magma bucket.

It definitely can't be near the house, it's noisy and troublesome. It can't be too far either, the road is not open. He has to find a place that is not far or near and is safe enough…

Got it! Zhou Ren's eyes lit up!
