Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2060 New Mine
But seeing the quarrel among the citizens, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel moved, and said to Niya: "You saw it too, the citizens below are very curious about the appearance of the floating city! Do you have the confidence to fly lower?"

Although Niya is sometimes very strong, she doesn't try to be aggressive. She is very clear about the limits of her abilities. Like now, she only cares about a joke and puts the safety of the people below at risk.

Although she was sure that Xia Duo would not let the Floating Void City fall to the ground, she couldn't pass the test in her heart, so she rejected Xia Duo's "instigation" without any hesitation——

"No, it was just an accident yesterday. It is written clearly in the operating manual that it is not dangerous to drive. I am not very skilled in operating it yet, so I won't cause trouble for the citizens."

If the citizens want to see the appearance of the floating city clearly from the outside, at least they have to drop below 1000 meters, and according to the operating manual of the floating city written by Xia Duo, at least level 1000 operation qualification is required if the height is lower than 2 meters.

Niya now thinks that she has a first-level operation level, but there is still a certain gap from the second level!
Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't force it, "Then you see how I operate!"

"Ah."

……

As the designer and builder of the floating city, as well as the editor of the operation manual, Xia Duo is of course extremely skilled in the operation of the floating city.

He first began to descend slowly on the basis of Niya's translation to the south, and finally descended to about 4 to 5 meters. To the people on the ground, the floating city is already a giant hanging above their heads.

In the real-time video of the control room, the ground below has become a little dark, and almost everyone outside looked up at the huge monster with a diameter of two miles in the sky.

At this moment, no amount of discussion or debate is meaningful.

Then, Xia Duo drove the floating city to fly around the territory from near to far. After such a set of procedures, the citizens should know what the floating city looks like.

"It's your turn next!"

After raising the Floating Void City to high altitude, Xia Duo handed over the control to Niya, who controlled and wandered around the territory.

……

"Look, we've reached Wolf God Mountain so soon!"

In the control room, Niya excitedly pulled Xia Duo to look at the undulating mountains below. It was late autumn, and the mountains had been covered by patches of withered yellow. There were only scattered evergreen trees, still trying to maintain a little brilliance in autumn.

However, what Xia Duo paid attention to was not the mountains themselves, but——

Orcs!

Because Niya can only see the real-time images fed back by [Wide-Area Detection], she misses a lot of low-level information, but Xia Duo is not. In addition to viewing the results of [Wide-Area Detection] through real-time images, he also has a complete spell feedback.

Among them is the situation of the orcs in the mountains below!
The number is not large, but there are four to five hundred people. They should be the remnants of the previous Langshenshan tribe. Of course, they may have migrated from other places.

But no matter what, the appearance of orcs around the territory is not a good sign.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo paused the real-time images in the control room for a few seconds. During this period, he decisively activated [Light of Annihilation] to strike precisely where the orcs existed.

Niya didn't notice this at all, and continued to fly southward with the floating city. Soon, the mountains below gradually shrank and turned into a forest again. Of course, the Wolfburg River still runs through it, giving it a strong sense of presence.

"Is that a basin lake? It really looks like a vegetable mixing basin!"

At the end of the Worfburg River is Basin Lake. Every summer, some businessmen from the mainland come to vacation, and the real estate in Savile Land also rises because of this.

However, this lake does not exist naturally. It is said that it suddenly appeared because of an earthquake a few days before Savile opened up the territory.

Niya has never seen a basin lake before, and Xia Duo is similar. Now that he sees the real thing, he not only has a good impression of this nearly perfect oval lake, but also wonders how such a lake can be produced through an earthquake.

"Niya, do you want to go down and have a look?"

"Okay!"

Afterwards, Xia Duo operated the floating city to slowly descend, and at the same time, he was constantly checking the geological environment around the lake through [wide-area detection].

When it descended to about 7 meters, Xia Duo took Niya to the ground and appeared next to a wooden building next to her.

"It should be used by the businessmen who came on vacation for a temporary rest." Xia Duo looked at these wooden houses with unattractive appearance and extremely simple interior furnishings, and made his own judgment.

And because of the wrong season at this time, these buildings are completely unmaintained, making them even more dilapidated.

Looking at the basin lake from a close distance, Xia Duo is more fond of it. The shore is very low, almost connected with the water surface. The side with buildings on the north side is almost all white stones like pebbles, while the south side is covered by trees.

At first glance, the lake looks like an emerald green eye, the bushy eyelashes of the trees to the south, and the smooth cheeks below the eyes to the north.

"I have never noticed that there is such a beautiful and deep scenery near the territory!" Niya couldn't help sighing as she looked at the mirror-like lake.

"Yeah, it's just that these wooden houses are a bit unpleasant!"

However, Xia Duo did not clean up these "illegal" buildings, but only planned to send people to build a professional resort in the future.

Of course, this kind of beautiful scenery cannot be exclusively enjoyed by businessmen in the mainland. It is also possible to open a tourist route in their own territory. It happens that the large airship in the territory has been idle for a long time, so it is good to earn some extra money.

However, the beauty of Penhu Lake is beautiful, but the hidden dangers under its beauty are not small.

From the floating city to the present, Xia Duo has basically figured out the reason for the formation of this lake. The earthquake may be the reason, but the bigger reason should be the earth sea connected to an underdark region below it!

Yes, this is a typical weak point of the leylines, or to put it more bluntly, it has been connected to the Underdark, but the connection method is a bit special, not the space connection of the general underground passage, but the water connection.

If Drow guides the Earth Sea in the dark area below the basin lake to other spaces, then this is a natural underground passage, and with a little modification, it can become an important fulcrum for Drow to counterattack the surface.

"Xia Duo, what are you thinking?"

"No, I'm just thinking about such a beautiful scenery, what if another earthquake destroys it!"

"No way?"

Niya stared at Xia Duo suspiciously, "You must have discovered something, right?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there is an underdark region of earth sea connected to the bottom of this basin of lake. We may really need to pay more attention to this area in the future, so that we don't notice that the drow came out of here that day."

"Huh? There's an underdark area below here?"

"Don't worry, I checked it just now. The sea of ​​land is huge, and the direction of gravity is upward. I'm afraid Drow would not have thought that it is connected to the surface, but we'd better take some precautions just in case."

Facing Niya, Xia Duo took out an adamantine ball that was originally used as an adamantine jet, fixed a warning magic on it, and then ran it into the lake.

If there is no accident, the fine gold ball will fall all the way to the gravitational dividing line between the basin lake and the earth sea. As long as there is a major change there, such as a sharp increase in the flow rate of the water body, or the passage of medium-sized creatures such as drow, it will sound like Xia Duo.

Come back then to check it out.
