Blood of Mercury

Sandy yellow storm. Iron dragon.

The magnificent scene that caught Roland's eyes can only be described as such.

Just like modern architecture, it is a greater building than modern architecture, and it can be called a building of art.

There are buildings with a melodious arc like a dragon's spine and a shape that looks like a harp; there are also huge shells like works of art, or giant buildings that are hundreds of meters high like buds about to bloom. .

And more, it is the overpass-like, curving promenade that overlaps repeatedly. They surround other buildings, and from Roland's perspective, you can even see the transparent passages that connect them to other buildings.

They are all coated with silver-gray metallic coating, and they look like metal pythons lying dormant.

But Roland noticed that there is no city wall here.

The so-called city wall is the line of defense that protects the town. It is a place where the people will have a safe place to live in the face of the enemy's aggression one day in the future. A city wall is to a town what armor is to a human body.

But the Elcats don't have walls because they don't need them at all.

If a person's muscles are stronger than steel, then the effect of armor on him is only to drag him down. From the very beginning, no buildings in Elcatel were exposed to the atmosphere. Everyone walked in closed and solid metal pipes. From the beginning, the city had no meaning of walls.

These one-way transparent pipes are densely packed, the lowest part has long been hidden under the desert, and the highest part is even hundreds of meters. In the pipeline, it is a powerful preservative. They ensure maximum inhibition of insect activity, keeping the space clean and at the same time drastically reducing the rate of decay.

Under the yellow sand, everything was hidden in the desert. That's why some explorers see Elcate as a relic of an old civilization.

Yes, from the very beginning, Roland realized that the professor's flaming light could not harm Elcatel himself.

You know, this is the land of blessings in the old days, the land of fairies. Once the center of the world.

The so-called fairy is the incarnation of Gaia. In less romantic terms, it would make no difference to describe them as mushrooms growing from Gaia's corpse.

Now that Gaia is dead, these little guys can be said to be the guardians of the earth and the guardians of the throne.

Although they are innocent, kind and weak, all life born from the earth will not try to attack them. Their blood has the characteristics of part of Gaia's blood, which can make all life come alive.

At the same time, they are outstanding wise men and inventors. Fairies are knowledgeable and interoperable, so although their lifespans are very short, even if they awaken their origins, it is impossible to live to seventy years old, but they never think goblins are stupid.

This is because, although they are the incarnations of Gaia, their birth is inseparable from the Kabbalah, the tree of life. Except for those winged goblins who are direct descendants of Gaia, all wingless goblins are imitations created by Kabbalah, imitating the action mechanism of the saint and the characteristics of elemental life, created from the lake of goblins A assisted development-type humanoid being born. When they were born, they existed to be the divine envoys of the saints.

These fairies are good at inventing. Of course, they will follow an iron law that Kabbalah tells them that every time a new invention is born, all goblins must vote for the work to decide whether it should exist in the world, and whether it will bring anything to the world. Can disruptive influences make the world a better place?

Nine hundred years before the white tower wizards invented the pistol-like hot-action gun, the goblins invented a folding bow that is far more technical than this, and greatly accelerates the speed of arrows through electromagnetism. Crossbows, and psychic resonance equipment that ties together the minds of all soldiers. But the goblins believed that this "too convenient weapon of war" would amplify the adverse effects of war, so they destroyed the invention with three-quarters of the votes.

And the existence of fairies has enabled Elkat to produce a technological power that can be called trans-epoch.

Whether it is a self-disciplined city, an unmanned court, a half-mechanical peacekeeper, a veil device that hides Elkat, or even a potion and machine that produces modern undead, they are all new things invented by fairies. It was designed for today's Elcatel, and completely conforms to the current state of Elcatel.

A large shortage of slaves and labor, no longer suitable for ordinary people to live in, the absence of the Supreme Being to maintain the law, complex and fierce faction struggle... and most importantly, how to continue to expand the undead tribe after losing the Silver Queen, will Fresh blood and thoughts are brought into this pool of silent stagnant water, and let's make the water a little muddy.

The undead do not need food, water, or air. Their bodies have long lost their proper functions, and they are just like goods that use the soul to drive the corpse to move. If there were human-like dolls, these undeads only needed to install simple driving devices to make them move, which was far more comfortable than using such a fragile and short-lived body. However, the problem is that the body of inorganic substances cannot resist the decay of negative energy, and it will not reduce the lifespan, but will directly begin to decay.

A body with a sixty-year lifespan has lost two-thirds of its lifespan, and it can still be used; while a wooden board has decayed for two-thirds, but it is already fragile and shattered when touched.

Without the two attributes of constitution and will to save, the teacher's power is absolute for everything. Therefore, the undead can only choose this kind of man-made corpse that decays quickly.

As long as it is not treated accordingly, the body of the undead will decay very quickly. The negative energies that run through their veins from the Dormant Master will lead their bodies to death. Flesh will rot, and bones will decay. Without insect repellent, the bugs would even lay eggs in their bodies, maggots would burrow under the skin, and their stomachs would swell with gas from decaying internal organs.

The most terrifying thing is that during this process, the undead still have feelings for themselves~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if it is cut into minced meat, as long as the craftsmanship is not a big problem, it will be sewn up and kicked. Might still be able to move. Even if they are completely burned to ashes, the blood-stained clay and rocks will have a new consciousness and stand up again.

For the undead with this characteristic, it would be strange if the society they formed was no different from the human country.

In today's Elcatel, there are no villages, no peasants, no workers. In other words, all mechanical work has lost its meaning here. Cities will run on their own, taking care of everything that doesn't require intelligence.

But because of this, the daily life of the undead is like a mime.

They develop new ideas, create new things, earn money from others with services and capabilities, and then spend the money.

became a closed loop.

But the undead knew they had to. Only in this way will their icy and indifferent hearts be prevented from going crazy.

This is an abandoned place. A place of misery in a perpetual lock-in cycle.

This is Elcatel

"...Elucado, come with me."

Roland looked at this sad miracle hidden in the sandstorm, and it took a long time before he said so softly. (To be continued.)
