Chapter 970: Underwater Light
Ronald began to explore below the surface of the water.
As the depth of his position continued to decrease, after 200 meters, the surrounding area could hardly be illuminated by sunlight and fell into a considerable degree of darkness.
After all, this is not the fairy tale world composed of "The Labyrinth Picture Book".
Although Ronald could barely see his surroundings, in an environment that continued to be dark, no matter how good his eyesight was, he would not be able to still observe the surroundings with his eyes underwater.
"In December 1831, I was fortunate enough to board the Royal Warship HMS Beagle as a naturalist and begin a five-year global scientific expedition..." Ronald immediately
recited the mantra of "The Origin of Species".
Relying on his biological modification abilities, Ronald greatly enhanced his perception of water movement and sounds.
Then it was like a real fish living in such water.
With this method of observation, Ronald established a detailed understanding of his surroundings before continuing to accelerate his dive.
...
and continued to descend in this way until it approached a depth of 500 meters.
In order to adapt to the increasing water pressure, Ronald had to make corresponding changes to his body every once in a while.
Up until this moment, doubts had arisen in his mind.
According to the old man on the ground floor of the library, outsiders who come to Capone's library to borrow secret books need to bring the pink crystal back there.
But this level of deep water...
It's difficult for a source code holder like him, so how can an ordinary spellcaster do it?
Maybe there's something wrong with my own method?
Asking outsiders to provide pink crystals for borrowing books may actually be a tactful way of transaction for the library!
According to the old man, some pink crystals may have been prepared in the city for outsiders to exchange for money or connections. Anyone who wants to borrow books can get them by making corresponding transactions.
Rather than being like Ronald now.
He jumped directly into the sea, and then dived deep into the deep water that ordinary people could never reach to collect crystals.
"Huh?"
Ronald was thinking about these things while continuing to swim downward.
Finally when the depth was close to 600 meters.
He discovered that a blurry halo appeared in the depths of the ocean below!
Although I have only just discovered it.
But judging from Ronald's experience, the movement was definitely not caused by one or two deep-sea fish that could only emit light.
There must be something glowing over a large area at that location!
That's right!
This is it!
Ronald immediately concluded the situation.
Then with a thought in his mind, he immediately accelerated his dive and swam towards the glowing position.
This kind of light source existing under the sea surface is no better than the sun in the sky, and can directly provide suitable light to the sea water nearly two hundred meters deep.
So we only dived less than twenty meters.
Ronald actually made contact with the seabed where the source of the light was.
Just as the underground administrator of the library said, there is indeed a crystal jungle covering a huge area. Beautiful blue and green light shines out from these crystals, thus providing this bright place from the sea.
...
These...are all fluorite?
Ronald looked around with curiosity.
There are a lot of luminous stones in nature, and they are actually minerals with fluorescent reactions. This type of mineral will indeed emit such blue-green fluorescence after being exposed to sunlight.
As for the more than 600 meters of seabed, although the surroundings can no longer be seen clearly, the sunlight actually retains a faint light here, thus activating the fluorite located on the seabed.
"..."
Poof -
with curiosity, Ronald landed on the bottom of the sea, his feet stepped on the wonderfully tactile ground, stirring up a slight wave of sand.
Then travel through the maze of fluorite jungle.
While Ronald was looking for the pink crystal needed in the library, he also had some doubts in his mind.
A normal fluorite ore.
Why was the pink crystal with the ability to retain light produced?
Thinking about the size of the Capone Library, Ronald couldn't help but have a hunch that there were some secrets hidden near this city.
If you have time stay here and keep digging.
Maybe you can find something shocking?
Brush -
at this moment, a stream of water passed through Ronald's right arm.
Being extremely sensitive to touch, he instantly realized that something slender was swimming towards the left in this direction, and it was about two meters long.
Is this some kind of deep-sea fish?
Ronald turned his head almost subconsciously.
But soon, he saw a scene that surprised him.
A deep-sea fish that looked like a hairtail was swimming past him to the right. With the light provided by the fluorite maze, Ronald could clearly see that the gaps between the fish scales on the other person's body had grown a layer of light. The tiny gravels are so beautiful that they are not as beautiful as human life.
"..."
What kind of evolution can give birth to such a beautiful creature?
Facing a magical creature that he had never seen before, Ronald was stunned for a moment.
Without even thinking about it, he subconsciously held on to a piece of fluorite beside him, then allowed himself to swim forward slowly, and began to observe the appearance of this beautiful creature from behind from a distance.
Until I moved forward like this, my body floated two or three meters away in the water.
Ronald followed the other person with his eyes, and inadvertently glanced at the surrounding fluorite jungle, and then suddenly stopped his thoughts of observing beautiful creatures.
"Something doesn't seem right here..."
Ronald narrowed his eyes and descended further into a depression below.
After zooming in, he discovered the special thing he had just noticed.
It was the center of a large piece of fluorite below. It seemed to have a distinctive light shining through it, and its color was exactly pink!
Is this it?
After seeing the goal of his trip, how could Ronald still hesitate?
He casually took out the Sword of Saint Catalina from behind, aimed at the fluorite below and slashed it down with one strike.
Click——
The sharpness of the Saint's legacy is certainly not something that Fluorite and his ilk can stop.
Ronald split open this large piece of fluorite in twos and twos, and then he discovered that there was a pink crystal hidden in it. In the center of it, there was a vivid light spot, which was exactly the same as the pink crystal displayed by the old man in the library. !
Confirmed his gains.
Ronald immediately dug the crystal out of the fluorite and put it into his pocket.
But after Ronald put the Sword of Santa Caterina behind his back again.
When we are about to leave and return to the land.
The sudden movement suddenly hit him beside him!
Crash—
accompanied by the fierce flow of water, Ronald quickly turned his head.
Then he saw the giant pincers that had always been composed entirely of luminous crystals suddenly stretched out from between these crystals, and then clamped down hard on him!
[I came back to write a novel on the way to becoming the King of Elden. 】
