Chapter 104 29. Chupa Coco, the city in the mountain nest,
knew a little bit about this city of lenses. He had read relevant records on the preserved stone tablets of Hesiota.
Before the Great Invasion, Spicazuma was one of the most "wonderful" cities among all the temple cities in Lustria. It is home to the best star observatory on the Lustria continent. The stargazing room on the top of the Tabok Pyramid houses a huge stargazing device, which is said to be able to observe the surfaces of other planets in great detail.
It has one of the most productive incubation pools in the temple city. It is said that when skin lizards are hatched, they are often accompanied by some giant lizards blessed by the ancient warrior Quiteli. These giant lizards are a little smarter, at least they are born with Use weapons.
According to legend, there is a huge ruby mine hidden deep underground around it. The mine contains a large number of precious metals and rare minerals, and the most valuable one is gold.
But the most impressive thing about this city is the diamond-shaped reflective lenses erected on the mountains. There is a special profession among the skinks in this city called "Maori Officials". They will point the diamond-shaped reflective lenses at the moment the sun rises. It is quasi-sun, and drives the rhombus lens to follow the rotation of the sun throughout the day. The captured sunlight will be concentrated into a thick beam, part of which will be transmitted along the magic pipe and stored deep underground in the city, used for night lighting or when it is cloudy, rainy and out of the sun.
The rest of the beam is projected into a perfectly sculpted and extremely complex system of moving diamond lenses that divide the beam into multiple smaller beams one meter wide. Some beams are used in forges, where the concentrated heat is used to melt gold and other rare metals more quickly. Some of the beams would be transmitted to defense towers, where the beams would power and power war equipment, much like the solar engines mounted on the back of the Ankylosaurus.
You can imagine how spectacular and gorgeous it is when the weather is clear, and the sun's beams are constantly refracted over Spicazuma. Some of the beams will penetrate the waterfalls flowing down from the mountain stream, and the rainbow and beams will intersect. .
But all this changed when the Great Invasion came. Spicazuma was one of the first temple cities to be attacked, because the huge energy reserves in the city attracted the Chaos Demons like a brilliant torch.
During the initial period of the Great Invasion, Spicazuma's Slann could still maintain the defense towers and barriers around the city normally, supported by the energy in the lens system and storage devices, and the Sun Engine and God Engine. Vast swathes of Chaos Daemon armies were burned to ashes.
Soon the Chaos Daemons realized they could never break the city while the sun was shining. So, the Chaos casters banded together to unleash an abominable spell, and the temple city was shrouded in the darkness of night.
Without the sun, the war equipment that revolved around the Sun's Basic Law was quickly rendered useless, and the Slann was forced to maintain defense towers and wards without the aid of storage equipment.
According to records, the city still held on until the barrier was broken. There is no record of what happened next. Slan of Spicazuma led the lizard people to retreat to the energy storage room deep underground in the city, possibly while fighting. It is estimated that this will require exploration and discovery by Darkus to know the follow-up.
In Darkus' view, this temple city was extremely non-mainstream. In his impression, other temple cities stood on open spaces carved out of the jungle, or were sandwiched in the mountains. Only this city of lenses is built in a mountain nest. The city is protected by the natural defenses of mountains from the north, east and west. It is surrounded by a city wall in the south. There are also man-eating swamps in front of the city wall, except for the middle section. Passage was provided, but now the high walls and defensive towers to the south and on the hill had collapsed.
Arkadan appeared again at the city gate riding a cave dragon. He waved his hand to the team to signal safety.
"Enter the city!"
Collapsed ruins could be seen everywhere in the city, and Darkos could see hundreds of collapsed and damaged statues on each step of the pyramid. Green-skinned orcs stayed here not long ago. The environment in the ruins is pungent and disgusting. Cold lizards will step on the excrement everywhere if they are not careful. Graffiti can be seen everywhere on the pyramid.
The procession moved through the shadows of the great crumbling stone buildings, under the dazzling light of the massive and uniquely shaped head carvings. Eventually they made their way through an abandoned asphalt cesspool, past rows of crouching, toppled lizard-man statues, and into an open square.
"Fuck!"
The open square was even more stinky, and a mountain of shit stood in the center of the square.
The Skinks in the group began to jump to their feet and curse, using every venomous word they could think of. It took him a long time to find a place where he could barely stay. Darkus could always smell a strange smell from time to time while eating dinner. He couldn't stand it after eating half a meal, so he put down the tableware and went to find Chupa Coco. .
"Can you use some magic like Wind Explosion to blow it away? The smell is too strong."
After a while, the situation eased slightly.
"My lord, there may be undead in this ruined city." Genevieve said quietly to Darkus while clearing away the dishes.
"Can you feel where it is?" Darkus put down the after-dinner fruit and looked at Genevieve seriously.
Genevieve struggled for a long time and finally shook her head.
"Then don't run around tonight. I will strengthen the sentry and we will go look for her tomorrow."
Genevieve, a midnight noble, is at her best in energy and condition at night. She often went out to fool around when camping at night. Run, Druchi and the skinks all knew it, but no one took it seriously.
After an uneventful night, the expedition team set out early the next morning. Under the leadership of Darkus, they climbed up to the lens system on the mountain. It's a pity that the frame of the lens system is still there, but the lens on it has long been damaged, so they can only observe the city nestled in the mountain. The layout of the city is patchwork, with six large pyramids scattered regularly in a rhombus layout, and some smaller pyramids attached to the surroundings.
"Have you been here?" Renn began to ask Kiya Cardan.
Arkadan shook his head.
"Fellow great adventurers, tell me what you think?" Darkus sat on a small folding stool and tilted his chin as he asked without beginning or end.
"Sir, could it be there?" Walter pointed to a dead end road leading to the mountain.
Darkus raised the monocular and observed. The road was already covered by half of the collapsed mountains and rocks. He murmured while observing.
"It would be great if the lens system could work. Except for the patrolling ones, everyone else should move and clear a way."
After a while, the lizard man, monitor lizard, triceratops and ankylosaurus began to move under the command of the skink lizards. got up.
This city was added in the 8th edition of the Military Book. The WIKI has no relevant content, it is all compiled
