Heroes of Invincible Hidden Architect

Chapter 289 The Queen of the Night of a Certain Science
The fluorescent fruit is entangled with Qige, pointing the way for Qige.

Fluorescent Fruit's body was tightly wrapped around her body, and the tip of her tail slid left and right on Seven Pigeon's thigh restlessly.

this is not good.

Easy to misfire.

Qige quickly asked, "Huoguangguo, may I ask the Queen's name?"

"Ah, our queen's name is Yingye, which is the same as our tribe's name."

Ying Ye...

This name doesn't sound like Medusa's name, more like a dark elf or a succubus.

What kind of person will the other party be?
With curiosity, Qige walked in the palace of the Medusas.

This palace can be described as magnificent and extremely luxurious.

A large number of gold coins paved the floor of the palace, and many large and small crystals were used as decorations on the floor.

In the palace, there are many stone statues.

Dwarves, Liches, Half-Elves, Evil Eyes...

These stone statues are all neatly equipped and maintain an aggressive posture. On the stone statues, many luminous objects are used as embellishments.

Seven pigeons see,

On the head of a stone statue of a skeleton soldier, there are several cute little snakes made of gemstones,

A flower carved out of crystal was stuffed into the mouth of a stone statue of an ogre king.

A stone statue of a lich had its staff removed and replaced it with a corn cob made of mercury and gold coins.

……

These strange stone statues fully illustrate the bad taste of the Medusa family.

The nature of the Medusa family is not bad, they are extremely passive.

Medusa will not take the initiative to attack other tribes. They need very little food to survive. The low-level Medusa's body is dark green and can even photosynthesize.

Therefore, most of the Medusa tribes that do not belong to the dungeon forces live in one place, isolated from the world, and rarely invade other tribes on their own initiative.

Also, many wild Medusa tribes have very small populations.

Usually there are only a dozen first-level Medusa female snakes as clan members, and the second-level Medusa is the king of the tribe.

This is also the reason why the Medusa family, the Tier 2 unit is called Queen Medusa.

But that doesn't mean Medusas are easy to bully.

They have a very strong sense of territory, and all enemies who invade the Medusa tribe will be mercilessly counterattacked by the Medusa, and they will even chase death to the north endlessly.

Revenge.jpg
From the perspective of arms, the Medusa family is also very interesting.

Both the low-tier Medusa Snake and Medusa Queen are equipped with bows, so they can attack from a distance.

At the same time, their damage is not reduced in melee, and there is a 20% chance to cause the enemy to petrify for 3 rounds.

Players in the previous life carefully checked the data and found that the difference in data between Medusa and Xieyan is actually not that big.

Xieyan is only a level 3 unit, and Medusa is a level 4 unit.

There is a full level difference, why are the higher-level long-range units not much better than the low-level ones?
Although the low-level troops of the Medusa clan can attack from a distance, they should actually be melee troops.

First, they have very little ammo.

Tier 1 Medusa female snakes can only carry 4 arrows, which are made of snake hair that they can shed, and can be easily shot out in battle.

Queen Medusa at level 2 only has 8 arrow branches.

（对比一下，城堡势力2级1阶的弓箭手有12根箭枝，2级2阶的神射手更是足足有24根箭枝。）
Secondly, the damage of Medusas in melee attacks is not halved, which provides a prerequisite for hand-to-hand combat after they shoot out their arrows.

Finally, even a level 1 Medusa has the ability to petrify the enemy for three rounds when attacking in melee.

Petrification is a magical skill as useful as blindness.

The petrified arms are completely unable to move, just like dead.

Although petrified troops will take less damage when attacked, even sealing the opponent's advanced troops for three rounds is a huge advantage for a battle.

Therefore, low-level Medusas should actually be melee troops carrying bows and arrows.

The Medusa family has a habit of turning the enemies who invaded their homes into stones and placing them in their homes as decorations.

Just like hunters make wolf heads and bear heads from hunting as specimens and hang them on the wall, it is a way to show off their power.

High-level Medusa will also make some decorations on the stone statues, adding some different charms to the stone statues with sparkling things to show their wealth.

In other words, it is pretense.

Seeing that Qige has been looking at these stone statues, Huoguangguo shyly introduced:

"Master Qige, these are decorated by the queen and me.

Her Majesty is in charge of the design and I am in charge of the production.

You see, the skull's hair is my favorite work, so cute! "

Not to mention, these little gem snakes are so lifelike, they are quite cute.

Of course, if I can turn these little snakes into resources and put them in my backpack, it will be even cuter, hehehe.

Qige and Huoguanguo talked and laughed all the way, followed the road of the castle and walked up a slope.

On the side of the slope, there was a room without a door, and bursts of fragrance came from the room.

"Master Qige, this is our kitchen. Because of your arrival, Her Majesty the Queen ordered a banquet to be prepared for you."

Oh?Medusa's Banquet?Qige was a little curious about what Queen Medusa ate in this underground city-state, so she responded.

"The kindness is hard to come by, thank you very much!"

After that, Qige followed the fluorescent fruit and passed through the training ground, archery hall, conference hall and other rooms one after another.

These rooms are like the grids of a Rubik's cube, evenly distributed in the square pyramid palace.

Qige looked at the map. Under the leadership of Huoguanguo, he passed a total of 6 slopes and was about to reach the top of the square pyramid.

It is worth mentioning that the road made of gold coins and crystals is only a short section at the entrance of the palace, after which the ground was replaced with a soft blanket suitable for Medusa's movement.

But Fluorescent Fruit never mentioned getting off Qige, and Qige was too embarrassed to speak.

In this way, the fluorescent fruit entangled Qige's body, took Qige around the palace several times, and entangled it all the way to Yingye's study.

Fluorescent Fruit came down from Qige with a flushed face, and the continuous rubbing of "ears and temples" made her a little unbearable.

She never imagined that she would do such a thing in the queen's palace.

Fluorescent Fruit took two deep breaths, glanced shyly at the innocent Qige, and knocked on the door of the study.

"Your Majesty, the guests are here."

"Please come in."

Qi Ge saw that Fluorescent Fruit pushed open the door, and stood outside the door waiting for herself.

He nodded and walked in.

As soon as she entered the room, Qi Ge heard the door closed by the fluorescent fruit behind her.

He observed it out of the corner of his eye, and Fluorescent Fruit also came in with him, and was guarding the door with his hands clasped.

Qige looked forward.

The queen of the Yingye tribe - Medusa Yingye is holding the [Gorgon's Pupil] in her hand, looking up at herself.

Maybe it's because Yingye's dress is extraordinarily solemn when meeting her.

She was wearing a bright yellow sleeveless silk gown, showing her arms, which were white and tender, just like white lotus root joints.

She wore a golden crown on her head, and a mask with snake patterns that covered her eyes.

The shape of the crown is like many entangled colorful poisonous snakes, the base is gold coins, the snake's teeth are precious stones, and the snake's body is various colored ores.

And the snake's eyes are exactly the kind of black stone in the abandoned mine.

Medusa's strongest petrifying ability is their eyes. High-level Medusa can even petrify the target with staring.

Therefore, the "eye" has a very high status in Medusa society.

Using black stones as eyes shows that in Yingye's heart, the value of black ore produced in abandoned mines is much higher than resources such as gold, gems, and crystals.

Qi Ge recorded this detail in her heart.

He saluted Yingye and said, "Your Majesty Yingye, I am Qige and I come from the surface.

My city is near your noble territory, so, with good intentions, I come to make acquaintance with you.

I hope My City God's Choice can establish a good cooperative relationship with your tribe. "

[System prompt: Your good attitude and modest conversation have been recognized by Ying Ye. 】

[System prompt: According to your reputation in the Yingye tribe and your charm value, Yingye's favorability towards you will be 30 (friendliness)]

Yingye nodded, a slightly hoarse and dull voice came from her abdominal cavity.

"Welcome, Lord Seven Pigeons.

Please forgive me for having to wear a mask and speak to you in this way.

My face and my voice have the power to petrify others.

For some reason, this ability is out of my control. "

Qige froze for a moment, even the voice has the ability to petrify?And they have become legendary heroes, but they still can't control it?
The petrification ability is so terrifying, what level of Medusa must this be? !

Ying Ye raised the bow given to her by Seven Pigeons—[Gorgon's Pupil], and said:
"Thank you for the meeting ceremony, I like it very much."

No Medusa can resist the temptation of 【Gorgon Treasure】.

Qi Ge smiled slightly, and was about to answer when Ying Ye said:
"It is the traditional etiquette of our Medusa clan to open gifts from friends in front of them.

Now that you're here, I'm sorry. "

Qige was stunned.

What do you mean?Unwrap presents? 【Gorgon Eyes】No packaging?

Ying Ye stretched out her finger and tapped [Gorgon's Pupil], and [Gorgon's Pupil] instantly melted into a liquid and floated in the air.

Yingye peeled off the liquid with her fingers, and took out a purple snake-eye gemstone from the liquid package.

This purple snake-eyed gemstone is the one inlaid in [Gorgon's Pupil].

Qige was terrified.

The other party actually destroyed [Gorgon's Pupil]!

The treasures in the world of Yasha all have rules and are extremely difficult to destroy.

Not only did Yingye destroy the [Gorgon's Pupil], but she also extracted a snake-eyed gemstone from the [Gorgon's Pupil]? !

Ying Ye held the snake-eyed gem and said to Qi Ge:
"Medusa's ancestors, the [Gorgon] clan mastered some of the rules.

A very rare gift indeed.

You bother. "

Yingye crushed the purple gemstones, and the gemstones turned into scattered light spots, which floated into her body.

Hiss, Qige is stupid.

What means is this?
Melt the incomparably strong treasure directly into a liquid, and then extract the rules separately?

"Thank you for your gift, it has benefited me a lot.

We, the Medusa family, have nothing else in return. I have prepared some ore as a proof of our friendship. "

Yingye stretched out her hand, and a large amount of gold coins and resources appeared at Qige's feet.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission: Yingye's gift in return]

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for obtaining 3 gold coins, 500 gems, 500 crystals, and 500 mercury. 】

hiss!
so much!
These resources can create a cheaper miracle building.

A normal crystal mine can only produce 2 crystals a day, which is equivalent to the output of a gemstone mine, a crystal mine and a mercury refining room for more than half a year.

Is it because Yingye doesn't know the actual value of the level 3 treasure?

Or is [Gorgon's Pupil] particularly to her taste?

Qige bowed calmly and thanked:
"You are too kind.

Thank you for your return gift. "

Ying Ye's voice became a little more serious:
"This is a common resource in our mining area, and it is of little use to our Medusa family.

But you foreigners should really need it.

In the past, there were 13 reckless and ignorant guys who were dazzled by these resources and dared to attack us.

In the end, I turned them all to stone, the ones you see in the corridors.

it's a pity.

If they had been sensible, they would have been great friends with us. "

This is a warning and a hint.

Just like I lack information about the Yingye tribe, the Yingye tribe also lacks information about me.

Yingye means that she is willing to get along with me friendly, but she is not afraid of fighting.

"Of course, only fools would attempt to invade Medusa's territory.

Any sane person should understand that the Medusa family is only suitable for being friends.

……

Peace and development are also the main theme of my territory.

The common enemy of our races in the Yasha world should be chaos, and any internal strife is what the mother god does not want to see. "

Ying Ye nodded approvingly and said:

"Very well, it seems that we have a certain consensus, you are much more sensible than the half-elf I have seen before.

Xiaoguo, take the guests down for a rest first, and visit our city of immortality.

Remember when the party started, bring him back. "

"Yes."

"Wait a minute."

Qige interrupted seemingly very ignorant.

"Your Majesty, I have a question, and I don't know whether I should ask it."

Hearing Qige's voice, the fluorescent fruit standing behind Qige trembled undetectably.

[System prompt: Yingye's favorability for you is -10, currently 20. 】

Ying Ye slightly bowed her body, her voice was a bit unpleasant.

"What question?"

"I walked along the way and saw many people from your tribe digging for ore.

I have never seen or heard of this kind of ore on the surface, but I can feel a strange power from the ore, it seems that this kind of ore is very valuable.

I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen can tell me what kind of ore this is? "

Yingye spread her hands, and a black stone appeared in her hand.

"You're talking about this? We call it the Sulfur-eating Stone."

"Sulfur-eating stone?"

"Yes. This kind of stone has been passed down from generation to generation in our tribe. It is said that it is a treasure left by the God of Immortality.

It's a pity that the queens of all dynasties have done a lot of research on the sulfur-eating stone, but they have not been able to find the use of the sulfur-eating stone.

I ordered the tribe to collect a large number of them, more for experiments.

This kind of stone has a magical property, it can devour sulfur, but it is a pity that if you swallow it, it will be in vain, there will be no output, and the sulfur-devouring stone itself will not change in any way.

It was as if those brimstones just disappeared out of thin air.

In fact, it is not a valuable item, you can take a look. "

Yingye tossed her hand, and the sulfur-eating stone flew to Qige's hand, and her abdomen continued to make a sound, saying:

"You live on the surface and know a lot of knowledge that our underground creatures don't know.

I'd be very grateful if you could help us figure out what the Sulfophorite does. "

[System prompt: Yingye gave you a sulfur-eating stone (3kg) as a gift]

Qige took the sulfur-biting stone and found that there was only one slap on the sulfur-biting stone, but it was extremely heavy.

He checked the system

【sulfonite
Strange thing
Effect: unknown

Explanation: It is a kind of magical stone, and its specific function is not yet clear. 】

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the legendary task: Find out the truth · Sulfonite]

Qige bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your generosity, I will let you know as soon as I have a clue."

Yingye nodded, and Qige retreated following the fluorescent fruit.

Fluorescent Fruit walked backwards out of the study room, let out a long breath, and patted his chest.

She held Qige's arm and said with a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death just now, but fortunately Her Majesty is not angry."

Qi Ge asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Fluorescent Fruit's expression is somewhat remorseful:

"It's my fault, I forgot to tell you.

Her Majesty hates being interrupted, especially when Her Majesty is in class and doing experiments.

Anyone who interrupts her will be punished mercilessly by her.

In the worst case, a girl who was a priest of Medusa with me was turned into a stone statue for a whole month because she interrupted Her Majesty's experiment.

When she recovered from the stone statue state, she couldn't even speak.

The next time you speak to Her Majesty, remember that Her Majesty cannot be interrupted in the middle of a sentence. "

Seven Pigeons keenly noticed a detail.

"Experiments and classes?"

"Ah, both words were invented by Her Majesty the Queen.

She often summons Medusa above Tier 3 in the city to explain various principles of the world to us.

It will also be proved by experiments.

Experimental methods mainly include control variable method, equivalent substitution method, cumulative method and the like.

For example, she just recently taught us that all gold coins are formed under the influence of the Goddess of Wealth.

She took us to the mining area and sealed the mining area with her power.

In those ore areas where gold coins were supposed to be dug out, gold ore mixed with stones was actually dug out. "

Fluorescent Fruit proudly puffed out its chest.

"I'm a top student praised by Her Majesty the Queen!

Received four consecutive awards from Her Majesty the Queen.

Her Majesty even asked me to be a teaching assistant. "

Qige:? ? ?
What is this operation?
A scientific Medusa queen?
Who is the time traveler? !

Qi Ge rolled her eyes and praised: "The fluorescent fruit is really powerful."

Hearing Qige's praise, Huoguanguo lowered his head shyly and said:
"I'm just learning. Her Majesty the Queen who can discover the laws of the world and design experiments is amazing."

"These experiments sound interesting, can the fluorescent fruit tell me in detail?

Ah, if there's a need for secrecy, when I didn't ask. "

Fluorescent Fruit shook his head and said: "There is no need to keep it secret, Her Majesty often allows us to teach other clansmen when we have time.

She often said: "Only experiment is the way to enter the truth, and Medusa who is interested in experiment will have a greater future."

Be good at sharing and questioning, and ask more why. '"

"Ask more why?"

"For example, why the arms are advanced, why the more advanced the appearance of Medusa, the closer to humans and elves.

Why do you need resources when you are advanced.

Why defeating wild monsters will increase our experience.

Etc., etc
Her Majesty said that these are all things that we need to do experiments, analysis and research to know.

Only sufficiently perfect experiments can help us recognize the truth of the world. "

Fluorescent Fruit continued: "For example, Her Majesty the Queen once took us to do an experiment.

She believes that there is a soldier in the deepest part of the world of Yasha, and this soldier will suck everything in the world of Yasha to the ground.

And the suction of this creature is fixed and will not change due to the weight of things.

She led us to throw a super large rock and a small rock from the cliff at the same time.

In the end, these two stones fell to the ground at the same time! "

……

Absolutely!

Qige can feel Yingye's specialness from the words of the fluorescent fruit.

She is different from any NPC in Yasha world.

Yingye actually has a scientific spirit!
What is science? Science is the cognition and summary of the "known", and put forward hypotheses about the "unknown", and then prove it through experiments, and finally turn the "unknown" into "known".

Even if the NPCs in the Yasha world become demigods, they will not have the scientific spirit similar to Yingye.

They don't care about why this world exists, and they attribute all unknown problems to the great creation of Goddess Yasha.

Ying Ye is the first NPC that Qi Ge met in two lifetimes, and wanted to find out the truth of the world.

Although due to cognitive reasons, her judgment on the Yasha world is somewhat superficial, but it is undeniable that she has already walked on the road of exploring the truth of the world.

The queen asked Huoguangguo to take Qige to visit the city of immortality.

Fluorescent Fruit chose her own small house as the first stop.

Naturally, the first stop became the final stop.

Qige artificial rainfall, fluorescent fruit long drought meets rain.

Under Qige's teaching, Fluorescent Fruit was surprised to find that petrochemicals have such a happy use.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Qi Ge would almost not be able to get out.

Of course, the result is also gratifying.

[System prompt: Fluorescent fruit's favorability towards you is +20, currently 100 (life and death depend on each other)]

After coming out of Huoguanguo's house and rushing to the dinner, Qige was shocked to receive the notice.

Her Majesty the Queen Yingye, who was supposed to go to the dinner with them, accidentally discovered a new experiment, became obsessed with it, and suddenly couldn't come.

Qi Ge had no choice but to have a romantic candlelight dinner with Huo Guo.

The palace feast in the eternal city was beyond Qi Ge's expectation.

There are not only all kinds of meat but also eggs, vegetables, and fruits.

Fluorescent Fruit told Qige that the entire underground forest in the underground world is the territory of Medusas.

These forests were snatched by the Medusas from the half-elves and dark elves who invaded their domain.

This verified Qi Ge's conjecture that the Medusas were indeed the overlords of this underground world.

Because Queen Yingye began to study in seclusion, the seven pigeons who did not have the right of abode had to be sent back to the ground by Yinguo Guo reluctantly.

Qi Ge tremblingly poured down a bottle of energy potion, turned around to look at the abandoned mine, and became more and more curious about the Yingye tribe.

Floating dungeon, Queen Medusa who loves science, strange black ore.

One mystery remains unsolved, and another emerges again.

Qige feels that she lacks a "thread" to solve these mysteries.

As long as you can hold this wool, all the mysteries can be pulled apart like a ball of wool.

And this "wool".

Qige clenched the black sulfur-eating stone in her hand.

In the entire Yasha world, the most knowledgeable race - the Sphinx, is in its own territory.

ps: The hamster has tied up Queen Yingye, cast a monthly ticket, and it will be delivered to your home!
