Chapter 1294

Passing through the dimensional hole, Ang and his party arrived at another world—a huge, magnificent, spectacular, and dazzling underground city.

An irregular lighting window hung in the air of the underground city, and intense light shone in, illuminating the entire underground city as bright as day.

The place they came out of was an altar, and the portal was opened on the altar. In front of the buildings around, seven or eight goblins were chatting in the shadows. Because the light was too intense, no one was staring at the altar, just turning their heads to look occasionally, then turning back quickly. The sunlight was too dazzling.

Ang had just come over in an ethereal form. Seeing this situation, he didn't even think about it and immediately moved his soul to a hidden corner of a nearby building. He scanned the room with his will and then moved his soul into the room.

The room was an attic similar to a library, piled with a large number of parchment scrolls, linen scrolls, and a small number of paper books.

Everyone came down from Ang's body, not daring to solidify their forms because the space here was not large and the load-bearing capacity was unknown. Just Flash solidifying its form might have collapsed the attic.

Anthony's form floated to the window, looking and saying in shock: "Why is there such a huge goblin city here? They even built a secret portal leading to the Dragon Graveyard, just to go to the other side to collect death aura every once in a while?"

Nai Ge Li Si also came over, looking around and saying: "Yeah, it's so big, larger than any city scale we've ever seen. The Feilie Royal City, the human main city on the main plane, the Starburst Array, etc., none of them have this scale. Look, even in the sky... the cave ceiling? Even the cave ceiling has buildings."

Anthony looked upward through the window and could clearly see inverted building complexes above, as if another piece of land was buckled in the air.

Besides the building complexes, one could vaguely see mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, and farmland, etc. It's just that the angle of the lighting window shone in the direction they were in, and the area on the cave ceiling was still in darkness, with only some light reflecting over, so it couldn't be seen clearly.

Anthony looked carefully at the lighting window in the sky and said: "This lighting window is a spatial rift. Directly using a spatial rift as a lighting window, the sun's light shines directly in, and the closed underground space immediately becomes an open space. The concept is really clever."

Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled: "But with the spatial rift opened there, aren't they afraid that the air here will run away?"

Uersman came over and said: "You can add a layer of barrier or shield, and the air won't run away. Or the swallowing power of the ground can be increased to bind the air to the ground. I feel the swallowing power here is very large. Look, these furniture and books haven't floated up. It's very likely due to the swallowing power."

"Are those airships in the sky? So many airships. Uh, are those traffic signals? A triangular wooden box turning one side to red means stop? Turning another side to green means pass? Are there so many airships that they need traffic signals to control them?" Nai Ge Li Si discovered something new again.

"Traveling between here and the cave ceiling, airships are the most convenient, so it's reasonable for there to be many," Anthony said.

"That over there is a square, with many vendors setting up stalls."

"That over there is a lake, with many goblins basking in the sun by the lake, and some people swimming."

"Over there, over there, is it an opera house? It seems I heard singing coming out," Flash also came over and said excitedly.

"What are you trying to do?" Nai Ge Li Si asked vigilantly.

"I want to go to the stage of the opera house to scold people. Their stage is specially designed, can amplify sound, can resonate, and can echo. Scolding people is very refreshing," Flash said excitedly.

"Go to hell." Nai Ge Li Si kicked it away. He really didn't understand the bad taste of this horse. Hearing it talk so eloquently, it must have tried it before.

After some observation, everyone discovered that this was a highly civilized goblin society with a large population, strict social organization, and an extremely high technical level.

"Only the Starburst Array is slightly more advanced than here in terms of technology. As for the rest of the planes we've been to, none of them can compare to here," Anthony finally summarized.

"The problem is, why is there such an advanced goblin world here? We came through a hole under the corpses. Do you know what I feel like? It's like drilling into an ant hole and finding a Starburst Array in the ant hole," Nai Ge Li Si complained.

It's not that there are no such advanced worlds in the void, but such an advanced world has nothing to do with the goblins who go to the Dragon Graveyard to collect death aura.

Uersman suggested: "Exactly, there are so many books here, why don't we start researching from the books? Lord Nai Ge, I don't recognize the characters in this book. Can you help me translate them?"

"No problem." Without even looking at what characters were in the book, Nai Ge Li Si took on the task. Cracking a language is very troublesome, but the characters are right in front of him, and there are a large number of sufficient samples. It can't stump him, the God of Knowledge.

Opening the book, there was a kind of character he didn't recognize—a vertical line plus some horizontal strokes, looking messy. However, Nai Ge Li Si quickly found the pattern between them, divided them into a dozen or so letters, then studied the order of these letters, quickly combined a series of words, and then identified the meaning of these words one by one.

"Very good, there is a book with illustrations here. Is this pattern a flower? In the description below, this word appeared four times. Let's temporarily define it as 'flower'. Good, flower, flower, flower... I found dozens of 'flower' characters. The words before and after it correspond to these words respectively. Is the word before it a measure word? 'Hundred flowers bloom'? Find this measure word and see if it's correct."

As Nai Ge Li Si said this, he started looking for the suspected "hundred" and found dozens of them. He recorded the words before and after them, then looked for the ones that appeared more frequently in the words before and after, made an assumption, found all the words for this assumption, and then recorded the words before and after it. Repeating this, he quickly obtained a large number of assumed words.

"'Hundred flowers bloom'? No, if this is 'hundred', then the back part doesn't make sense. If it's not a measure word, is it a noun? 'Spring'? 'Spring flowers bloom'? If this is spring or summer, the following sentences make sense. Good, confirmed, this is a noun. 'Spring'? 'Dark day'? 'Dark night'? 'Dark night comes, flowers wither'." Nai Ge Li Si deduced repeatedly.

This is like a riddle game. Every word is a riddle. First fill in the answer, then see if the riddle is correct. If it's not correct, change the answer until the riddle is correct.

The people on the side, let alone cracking it, just watching Nai Ge Li Si pointing and gesturing there made their heads big. Even Uersman looked at him with admiration. He used to think this little fat dragon had a false reputation and dared to claim to be the God of Knowledge. Now it seems he is indeed godly enough.

After spending more than ten minutes, Nai Ge Li Si cracked some of the words, but they were completely different from the meaning he originally assumed: "Star? Big explosion, Crystal God arrives, brings death... brings crops, life covers the earth... great Crystal God..."

Just as he was cracking it to this point, the altar outside suddenly became chaotic. Two goblins ran out of the portal in a panic and shouted at the goblins guarding around the altar, saying things like Dragon Man, alive, not dead, tell the Crystal God, etc.

Anthony frowned and said: "Didn't we tell them to play dead? How were they discovered? Even if discovered, just take them down directly. Why let them run back?"

The goblins immediately closed the portal and then sent people to leave here quickly, probably to report to the so-called Crystal God.

Everyone waited curiously to see what the so-called Crystal God was. Not long after, a black crystal skeleton flew over and landed steadily on the altar.

Dense stars flickered on the black crystal skeleton, and a powerful will enveloped the audience. This was actually a Chaos Black Crystal Skeleton.

Everyone was stunned by this suddenly appearing Chaos Black Crystal. While Anthony was shocked, a name suddenly flashed in his mind: "King of Feilie!"
