After swimming with the mermaid patriarch for a long time, I discovered that we had been diving downwards. According to the estimated time of the dive, we are now at least 300 meters deep. It is really strange. Why is there no water pressure here!
I was planning to ask the mermaid patriarch before why I suddenly noticed that the originally dim sea floor began to light up, and the brightness became stronger as it went down! Soon a huge undersea city appeared in front of me, and the huge city shone a little light, and the seawater was illuminated by these things.
Watching the beautiful unknown fish swimming around and many blue jellyfish floating around, I really feel that I have entered a beautiful fantasy.
"Is it beautiful?" The mermaid chief asked suddenly.
啊 "Ah? Well! Beautiful!" I was shocked by the surrounding scenes, why is such a beautiful place under the sea!
"But this beautiful place will soon disappear!" The mermaid patriarch said sadly.
为什么 "Why? Why does such a beautiful place disappear?" I asked the mermaid patriarch in surprise.
因为 "Because its source of energy is running out!"
"Power? Isn't electricity here?" I thought my dad and their company were too nasty, and there would be a city using electricity!
The mermaid patriarch looked at me strangely. "Electricity? Do you mean lightning? What does that do? Can electricity be used?"
Fortunately, the mermaid patriarch does not understand electricity, so it means that it is not driven by electricity. It is estimated that they use other energy sources! If you think about it, Dad won't let the magic world here be too modern. Even the early use of fire or steam power is good!
"So what do you say the energy is about to run out?"
"It's the central motivation here that has a problem. If you can't find a replacement, you must stop it completely!"
"I'm afraid it's not clear, you take me to see! Maybe I can help you!"
"Okay!" The mermaid patriarch took the lead to swim to the city below.
As the distance approached, I realized that this place was not a city but a city group. Thirteen hemispherical vaults supported the pressure of seawater, and each vault protected a city. I followed the Mermaid Patriarch to a dome in the middle.
Approaching the sea floor slowly, a pale blue door appeared in front of us. The reason why it was a door was because its color was different from the surroundings. The top of the ball was completely transparent, but the door was blue. !!
The mermaid patriarch walked directly to the door and wore it like that, and I followed. Can't help but reach out and try it, the arm passed through without any hindrance, the inside is dry and there is no sea water!
"Come in!" The mermaid patriarch walked around and found that I hadn't followed, and was still studying the gate there, and she came over and pulled me in. "I want to research and wait for you to solve our problem. I will send you one for you to research enough!"
"Oh!" I followed her like a bun, and I was curious to see what to see. The buildings here have smooth extensions, and all the roadsides have poles like street lights standing there. Each pole is topped with a huge white crystal. The soft light seen outside at the beginning should be It's these crystals! Almost all the buildings along the way are pale yellow walls and pale blue doors. What a beautiful look!
What surprised me most was the people I saw along the way. Almost everyone was young people. I did n’t see an old man but I saw a lot of children! And the people here are either handsome or pretty girls. I have become an ordinary person when I walk here. If most people think they should have committed suicide, of course, it does not include the big pot rice!
"Here!" The Mermaid Patriarch stopped suddenly while I was moving Zhang Xiwang. "This is the main power tower of Atlantis!"
立刻 I stopped immediately, it was indeed a tower in front of me, so it looked at least 300 meters above. The top of the tower is connected to a huge joan top. It is this energy that supports the seawater not to flow into the city, but I can also see with the naked eye that the energy joan is constantly flashing, and from time to time, there are some strange things. The sound comes.
"Come in!" The mermaid patriarch took me into the tower, and the four guards on either side didn't say anything because of the mermaid patriarch's carrying.
When I entered the tower, I immediately noticed the thing in the middle, because the whole tower was empty except for it. This is a weird thing, how to say, it is very much like an electric fork. A one-meter-high square base has a hole in it, and a huge well is embedded in it. Above it is a huge dark black cylinder with a diameter of more than 1 meter and a height of more than 5 meters. Around it are eight light-emitting rods floating around it like fluorescent tubes. At this time, these eight light-emitting rods are rotating at a very slow speed as if they might stop at any time!
"This is the key to the problem?" I asked.
"Yes!" The mermaid patriarch said helplessly: "This is the magic barrier generator of Atlantis, relying on us to support these 13 cities. It provides us with safety protection, daily lighting, oxygen extraction And food supply! But now it is almost exhausted. Once it stops operating, our city will be exposed to sea water, but the children of our mermaid family cannot adapt to life in the water. If Joan Ting collapses, our offspring will be drowned and the race will be destroyed! Atlantis will no longer exist! "
"Why does it stop then? Isn't it operating normally for so many years?"
The magpie mermaid points to the huge white crystal on the base under the black cylinder. "That's the reason. This magic crystal has run out of energy. The original purple magic crystal is almost completely white! The work of the crystal is very unstable these days, and it is always flashing. At the same time, we The joan tops are also starting to flash, they are on the verge of collapse! "
"Can I help you?"
能 "Yes! As long as you give us your magic crystal, we will be saved!" The mermaid chief almost climbed to me, her eager eyes made me unable to reject her at all!
"I want to help you, the problem is I don't!"
谁 "Who said?" The mermaid chief looked at me firmly. "I feel like you have a big magic crystal on your ship, so we have to hijack your ship!"
"On my boat?" I dragged my chin for a long time and didn't expect where there would be magic crystals. "Can you tell me where I am? I can't remember it!"
"I don't know the exact location, but it should be near the bow and it seems to be on the deck."
"The bow deck? Is it the one in the magic crystal cannon? Wouldn't it be such a coincidence?"
"I don't know! It's nearby anyway!" The mermaid patriarch started using a mermaid for me. "Lend it to me! I promise you anything you want! Will you?"
I'm dizzy! This little mermaid isn't going to play trading with me! This is not working! "Keep your distance!" I pushed her away. "It's not necessary. Is there anything good you can exchange?"
交换 "Exchange?" The mermaid patriarch suddenly hesitated. She did not expect that I would make such a request.
While she was thinking hard, another person came in, "Aona! Who is he?" The questioner was a male mermaid, and he was also wearing a full set of armor and holding a trident in his hand.
"The Atlantis the Great!" The mermaid patriarch suddenly knelt down on that one knee. "This is a friend I invited from the outside. He has the magic crystal we need, but he needs something to exchange!"
哦 "Oh? Do you have a magic crystal?" The Atlantis the Emperor looked at me brightly. "Do you really have it?"
"I don't know! It should be, but it seems not as big as you!" I'm afraid the trumpet is useless.
"It's okay, it's okay!" The Emperor Atlantis said excitedly. "Size is not a problem, just have it, even the youngest can solve the urgent need, isn't it! But of course it is bigger and better, how big is yours?"
I compared it with my hand. "Just so big, about one tenth the size of yours!"
"It's so big? Great, it's so big that it can be supported for another ten or eight years! Hahaha!" He smiled and stopped suddenly. "Right, do you want us to buy it?"
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
对 "Yes, although I sympathize with your situation, but that thing of mine does not fall from the sky, I also need it very much. To give it to you, you have to give something good!" Is this the true character of a businessman! Hehe!
这个 "This ...!" The emperor Atlantis considered and then discussed with the mermaid clan named Ariana: "Come with me!"
I was led by him and ran out. After turning N corners on the street, we finally reached a place similar to a warehouse. There were two guards guarding it. The Atlantis commanded the guards to open the door and let us in.
The warehouse has a large area and a lot of things, but everything is covered by black canvas-like things. It is estimated to be rust-proof. After all, this is the sea floor, and there should be no dust! Atlantis took me to the middle of the warehouse and said, "This is the property we can exchange for, and you can pick something here."
"Let me take a look!" Because things were placed in sections and covered with cloth, I walked to an area and opened a canvas. The things that appeared in front of me made me suddenly hold back. "Motorcycle?" I clearly saw a motorcycle, but it was not right to take a closer look. This was not a motorcycle. This is ... a double jet ski! These things without wheels have a very beautiful streamlined shape, and there are seats that can be taken. Apart from being more like a fish, this is clearly a double motorboat! "How do you have this thing?"
Atlantis the Emperor reluctantly said: "This is our previous naval mount, but ..." Aona, who beckoned over there, came over and pulled out a crystal pendant from her chest. She shoved the crystal from the pendant into a groove in front of the motorboat seat, and the motorboat blasted out a lot of water, then began to make a buzzing sound and stopped moving.
Ana stopped immediately after pulling out the crystal. "See? This is driven by a magic crystal. We don't even have enough energy to support Qiongding. How can these things move?"
哦 "Oh! I can understand!" I came to another area to open the canvas, and this time I saw a lot of long-shaped things, the shape was strange, it felt like an upright stick. "what is this?"
Atlantis the Great picked up a part to stand in front of him, and Ariana also picked up one of these things. Then Ariana found a small groove in the thing, and her own magic crystal was put in the groove. A blue translucent light film suddenly appeared between the two symmetrical vertical sticks.
I now know what this is. This is the gate that I saw at the gate of the city that can separate seawater without affecting people's entry and exit.
Atlantis the Great explained: "This was originally a magic shield, but you have also seen that these are powered by magic crystals, so we really can't use these things!"
那么 "So what's this?" I walked to another area. "Isn't it all your weapons here?"
"That's not it!" The Atlantis the Great came over and opened the canvas himself. The underside of the canvas turned out to be gold, and it was a whole piece of gold, as big as a red brick. (Everyone pays attention, the real brick is actually the size of a mahjong) "These are the tattered ships that were dropped after the ship sank at sea. Because there is no place to put it, we collect it and dissolve it this way for storage. Are there a lot of these things? Why is there so much of this stuff every time the shipwreck comes down and pollutes our environment! "
"Don't you want this thing?" I asked, pointing at the BRICS.
"Is this thing useful?" Atlantis the Emperor asked strangely: "This thing is not edible, and it is so soft that it cannot be used to build weapons. The most important thing is that this thing is heavy and very difficult to handle! People on our side usually use it to build a house. You see, this thing is stuck on the outside of our house, because the biggest advantage of this thing is that it won't rust! "
"What? Your houses are all brick-walled?" I said why the houses here are all golden yellow! What a luxury! I suddenly remembered. "By the way, the streets you have here are also yellow, won't they also be paved?"
"Yeah? What?" Atlantis took for granted. "What else can this thing do besides paving the bottom and sticking to the wall? Besides, this thing is so wear-resistant and not rusty, how good are you!"
"Do you have a lot of this stuff?"
"Well!" Said Ariana. "These are because the regular yellow bricks (the mermaids' name for the big gold bricks) can't fit in the warehouse, so we put extra parts here! There are actually many outside, but because the warehouse is completely full So I did n’t ship it back! To store these things, we had a headache, and the fish in the sea hated these things, so in order to protect the normal life of the fish to ensure that our food will not go wrong, so we ca n’t put it down. I'm still collecting these things constantly. These days, I'm so busy for the magic crystal thing, and I have no time to deal with these things! We are almost filled with these garbage here! "
看着 I drooled at the Atlantis the Great. "This, can you send someone to help me ship this thing back to my boat? I decided I would need this!"
"What? You want this rubbish?" Both Atlantis the Great and Ariana asked in surprise.
I nodded violently. "Yes, I want this rubbish, you help me transport it, I want as much as you want!"
Atlantis the Great said: "If you want me to give you everything, I am afraid that your boat is not enough! This thing is heavy and a boat cannot pull much!"
"It's okay, you guys can help me, no matter how many times I run."
"What about our crystals?" The Atlantis asked, anxiously.
给 "Yes, definitely. You have someone help me move these 'bricks' back. When they come back, I will bring them back the crystal!"
"Okay!" The Atlantis the Great shook my hand. "Thank you so much for powering us and helping us clear the trash!"
"Hahahaha! Happy cooperation!" Both of us laughed.
Atlantis the Great thought to himself: "This fool, giving us such a large piece of magic crystal for free also transported us a lot of garbage."
What I thought in my heart was: "This fool, a magic crystal lied to a ship of gold. Go back and replace the gold with diamond coins. Then go to the second brother Dominger and buy a bunch of magic crystals with him! Wow ha ha ha ha! "Do it when you think. I quickly pulled Atlantis the Great and said, "Although my magic crystal can solve the urgent needs, it is not a long-term solution. I can help you find many magic crystals to come back, although I may not find you as big Yes, but it's okay to add a few more pieces? "
"Can you find a lot?" Asked the Emperor Atlantis. "Then you must help us! We need as much as you have! The more, the better!"
"This ...! I'm fine! But after all, my boat is not driven by me alone! You see, I have to feed so many sailors, and I have a brother, so I'm also very hard! So ... look ... …This one……"
当然 Of course, the great Emperor Atlantis knew that I was asking for benefits, and he immediately began to cry poor. "Oh heroes, let's just order something like this, take it if you want to see it, and I don't need anything else!"
I patted his shoulder and said, "I'm not demanding. First of all, I want 200 fish-like things."
"Okay! I'll give you 300!" Atlantis the Great wanted to give me more worthless things, and I was embarrassed to ask for others.
"Well, I want 300. Second, I want 1,000 magic shields."
"Okay!" The Atlantis the Great was secretly happy there. "This fool is just picking out useless things. It just happens to move away. We didn't use it originally. He also saved the place to move!" Of course, he wouldn't say these words ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The last one , That big brick, can I pull more boats? "
行 "Okay, just use your clothes and fill you with 10 ships!"
"Okay!" We shook hands and smiled again.
After that, we started to separate our actions. The first thing we started was to move the BRICS. I originally wanted to take more space to use the wrist wheel to take away, but unfortunately these gold bricks ca n’t fit into the equipment items! No choice but to move it piece by piece. Fortunately, the buoyancy in the water itself is not as heavy as it is in the air, otherwise such a large briquette cannot lift it!
Atlantis the Great sent out almost all the men in the city, one of them two bricks to help me transport. The little dragon girl was also summoned by me, and she could move dozens of pieces at a time.
嫡 Ana took us quickly to find Biling, but only one Biling ship was floating quietly on the sea, and all the other ships ran out! I saw roses all the time. They were lying on the bow of the boat and yelling my name. It seemed that they were looking for me. I summoned Xiaofeng into the sky, and when she was around, it lit up.
"There!" Bingbing found me first, and then everyone saw me.
游 I swam to the side of the boat and climbed up to the deck, and Rose rushed to hold me tightly. Her voice cried, "Where did you go? Hate! Why not contact us?"
I smiled and rubbed her hair and said to Ying. "Eagle, we have a lot of cargo to be shipped. Quickly gather the sailors to the stern hole."
"The hole?" Eagle looked at me and said, "I'm about to tell you about it!"
怎么 "What's wrong? What happened to the Bi Ling?"
"That's not it, just ...!"
