Chapter 171: Goblin City Walking on the street of Stingqintu, Zhao Yannian observed with some interest those machines that have been running on their own for thousands of years, goblins have developed very perfect artificial soul technology in the later stages of civilization, and it can be seen that goblins have made incredible achievements in the study of souls for thousands of years, just being able to maintain the existence of souls for thousands of years is no longer a technology that mortals can have.
The city can be said to be very well preserved, because the metal used by the goblins is almost not corroded and oxidized, the streets and buildings of the city are still as smooth and shining as if they had just been produced, instead of the cylindrical cleaning robots that roam the streets and alleys, they refuse to let go of even a trace of dust, the Ice Queen took Zhao Yannian into the city and walked towards the center of the city familiarly, and all the automata would stop to make way for her when they met the Ice Queen.
"Were you born here?"
Zhao Yannian asked the Ice Queen who was walking in the front, because the Ice and Snow Queen, the guardian of the Water Tower, led the way, and did not encounter any danger along the way, Zhao Yannian couldn't help but be secretly glad when he saw this, you must know that since entering the city, Zhao Yannian has seen a lot of weapons that can act autonomously, in the face of these extremely dangerous machines at a glance, if Zhao Yannian breaks in with Dawuzun, I am afraid that he will be disgraced.
"No, I was born on the third layer, the Titans had already left when I was born, and after I became the master of the third layer, the goblins found the Water Tower, but the goblins didn't bother me when they came here, they just occupied the highest floor and lived there, and when they went to war with the elves, they gave me control of the city, allowing me to prevent people with malicious intentions from entering the city."
The Ice Queen replied without looking back, her bare feet creating a cloud of frost every time they stepped on the metal ground, and when a few people walked by, the cleaning robot behind them would squeak the ground away with the same creaking sound as an old clock.
"Why would the goblins leave the city to fight instead of using the power of this giant tower to defend the High Elves?"
Zhao Yannian asked strangely after hearing that the Ice Queen had control of the city.
"I don't know, they were in a hurry and didn't tell me anything."
The Ice Queen replied.
"So have you found the answer in the city over the years?"
Zhao Yannian asked again.
"Looking for answers?
Why?
The Ice Queen stopped and asked Zhao Yannian.
"Don't you want to know why the goblins suddenly gave up here?"
Zhao Yannian also stopped after seeing the Ice Queen stop.
"I don't want to."
The Ice Queen shook her head a little inexplicably and replied in the affirmative.
"Forget it, I didn't ask that question."
At this time, Zhao Yannian also realized that he was talking to an elemental creature, and this elemental creature was still of the ice type, and curiosity was a concept that had never existed at all for the Ice Queen.
"Why are you humans always busy with things that have nothing to do with you?"
This time it was the Ice Queen who asked Zhao Yannian.
"It's not okay, the vast majority of humans are weak, and we can't survive on our own, so we have to care about the situation of some other people to ensure that one day disaster doesn't fall from the sky."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yannian finally chose to explain the curiosity of human beings to the Ice Queen from the perspective of the desire to survive, but in fact, as one of the most important characteristics of human beings, where can it be explained so easily.
"Indeed, your survival is too troublesome, not only do you have to eat, drink, and sleep, but even injuries can be life-threatening."
The Ice Queen accepted Zhao Yannian's statement and began to continue to move forward with Zhao Yannian.
After discovering that the Ice Queen had no curiosity, Zhao Yannian stopped asking the Ice Queen about the goblins, and the three of them continued to walk towards the interior of the Si Tingqin Tu, from Zhao Yannian's point of view, the goblins are very bad in the planning of the city, the narrow roads, the many and unreasonable turns make the city like a labyrinth, and the light signs on both sides of the street actually make Zhao Yannian feel like he has returned to the old city on the earth in his previous life.
Although the buildings on both sides of the street are completely different from the architectural style on the earth, one thing is the same as the earth, the neon lights made by the goblins are still working normally after thousands of years, and the goblins don't seem to have the meaning of turning off these lights when they leave, of course, with the goblins' technological level and rich energy resources, maybe the goblins have never designed a switch for these lights.
Zhao Yannian began to try to restore the goblin language after getting the notes of the goblin grandmaster a few years ago, and through the continuous collection of goblin literature over the years and Xilu's strong analytical ability, Zhao Yannian can now basically understand most of the words on the neon signs.
"The old sharp-eared alchemy shop, an absolutely cheap restaurant, not a department store at all.
Is this supposed to be a goblin shopping street?
Zhao Yannian was muttering the names of these goblin shops while thinking about why the goblins left suddenly.
The goblin's departure should be very hurried, the doors of many shops in the city are still open, and there are many goods waiting to be sold on the counter inside, if it is a planned departure, the goblins will never give up their finances, this habit is Zhao Yannian learned from the diary of the goblin master, in addition to recording the experimental data, there is also a part of the content that Zhao Yannian finally analyzed turned out to be the goblin's account book, The trivial accounts on the ledger allowed Zhao Yannian to clearly understand what kind of relationship a goblin Grand Master had between his family and friends.
Maybe it's Zhao Yannian's feeding relationship these days, Da Wuzun is very well-behaved behind Zhao Yannian today, and the three of them finally came to the center of this goblin city after walking for two hours.
"This is the thing the goblins left behind."
The Ice Queen paused and pointed to an oval stone block in the center of the square.
"Is this it?
It doesn't look like something that can resist the eternal mist" Zhao Yannian cautiously came to the bottom of the stone and began to sense what this stone was with his spiritual power, but as soon as his spiritual power touched the stone, this oval-shaped boulder emitted a violent light as if it had been awakened from a deep sleep.
Then the light was like a contagion, and the whole gear-shaped square began to shine.
"What's going on!?"
Zhao Yannian turned back to the Ice Queen a little nervously and asked.
"I don't know."
The Ice Queen said with an innocent look, but before the Ice Queen could finish speaking, the ground of the square began to rise slowly.
"It turned out to be an elevator, is it so complicated?"

Zhao Yannian, who found that he had overreacted, calmed down at this time.
The entire square slowly broke away from the ground and floated towards the sky, and after passing through the sky created by illusion, a gear-shaped exit slowly swirled open as the square approached the top of the Titan Tower.
The gap between the square and the gear row was perfectly inlaid together, and Zhao Yannian and the three entered a rooftop covered by a transparent cover.
"Fourteenth floor?"
Zhao Yannian pushed his glasses and looked at this space that he didn't know what to do.
"Nothing."
After looking around, Da Wuzun pulled the corner of Zhao Yannian's clothes and looked up and said.
"Maybe it's the bad taste of the goblins, but let's look around to see if there's anything strange."
After Zhao Yannian finished speaking, he and Da Wuzun scattered to find out if there was any kind of mechanism hidden on this empty rooftop, and the Ice Queen still stood there in a daze as usual, not caring about inconsequential things at all.
While Zhao Yannian was looking for clues about protecting the Dragon Sleeping Continent on the rooftop platform left by the goblins, in the Demon Beast Forest thousands of kilometers away from here, Regana Lydia was trudging through a foul-smelling swamp.
"Damn the Three-Headed Hellhound that he threw us so far away, it seems that we will not have time to find the treasure anymore!"
Lydia grumbled as she wiped the foul muddy water from her body.
The previous spatial teleportation was completely controlled by Hesiod, and it was obvious that the canine slave's practice made the three-headed dog of hell hold a grudge against several people, so Hesiod arbitrarily decided the location of the teleportation within the scope of the trading conditions and threw the three of them into a foul-smelling swamp together.
After teleporting, the cannu summoned a flying beast and left the swamp without saying a word, while Rigana and Lydia continued on their way trying to find a place to cleanse themselves.
"It's a blessing to be able to get out of there alive, so let's just forget about this private action, go back and report separately and wait for the exploration of the big army."
At this time, Regana also gave up the plan to go to the Water Tower without permission again, no one thought that Hesiod would throw them so far away, if they wanted to return to the Water Tower, it would take too much time, I am afraid that it would arouse the king's suspicion.
"In that case, Regana, come and help me complete my mission, those damn dragons are hiding things so hidden, I still don't have a clue."
Lydia pleaded with Rigana.
"It's fine, as long as you can get out of this damn place and go anywhere."
Rigana looked at the swamp that seemed to have no end in sight, and finally chose to leave with Lydia.
"I can only carry one person a day through space, you have to take care of it," Lydia said, grabbing Regana's hand and opening the door to space.
