Chapter 42 The Story of the Past

"Tap, tap, tap."

Between the steel passages, faint blue light flashed, and the magic power flowed, you could hear the clear and heavy trampling sound.

At this time, Joshua and others were guided by No. 3, moving towards the deeper part of the pyramid. Their goal was to be the [ecological circulation area] below the central area.

After a little conversation with Moria and others before, Joshua decided to believe what No. 3 said, no matter how suspicious she was, she did not show any malice from the beginning. As the only existence they encountered in this world that could be communicated, Joshua still had many questions to ask her.

Of course, the primary goal is to find the [ecological circulation area] first. After all, they don’t know how long they will stay here. The source of food and water is very important. After informing this point of the third, the artificial intelligence led them to a channel leading to the lower one.

There are countless staggered channels inside the huge pyramid, some of which are shining blue light, and some have been completely extinguished. According to the words of No. 3, due to the lack of personnel maintenance, even if the mobile fortress has the ability to self-regulate, a lot of irreparable damage has been accumulated over the past thousand years.

"We are traveling through the energy storage area and are about to arrive at our destination." No. 3 reported calmly: "The food storage area is on the other side, but after a thousand years, it has probably turned into soil."

Above everyone, there is the core dogmatic area that lies in the center and regulates energy transportation, and below it is the living area and ecological circulation area for people to live.

The light ahead became brighter and brighter. Without the reminder of No. 3, Joshua could also feel the increasingly obvious breath of life. It was completely opposite to the dead and deserted wilderness outside the pyramid. Clayel's mouth also raised slightly, and she also sensed the message of natural existence.

The steel passage began to expand, the original passage entrance began to become wider and wider, and the flow of wind began to become obvious. Everyone continued to move forward and finally reached the end of the passage. They crossed a translucent barrier made of magic and entered a vast space.

The surging breath of life came to my face, and Joshua raised his head and stared at everything in front of him.

Wherever you see is a blue-green world, the huge artificial earth and sky extending endlessly in front of him. Compared with this huge space, their group is as small as ants. The lush and strange plants shake their blue-green leaves under the blow of the wind, making a rustling sound, and on the dark and brown earth, there are scattered shrubs and weeds.

"This is the ecological circulation area."

In the voice of No. 3, everyone was observing the world.

"It's really pretty." The old dwarf sighed: "I didn't expect that there was such a large piece of land in this pyramid."

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it in his hands, nodded: "The soil is of good quality, not fertile soil, but it is still within the normal range."

Clayel also observed the surrounding environment, fields, forests, hills, cliffs, and the small lake not far away. In the huge space inside the pyramid, everything is available. Although it is extremely small compared to the real world, it is indeed a complete ecological cycle...

No, not complete.

Because no trace of half an animal was found during the observation period of time, both Gioshua, Rin, Moria, or Clayel. All they saw were silent ancient trees and scattered small plants, not even insects.

"Only plants exist stably."

Seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, No. 3 explained, and a calm and emotional voice sounded: "The artificial natural cycle is fragile. Without the adjustment of the Karlis people, just a little mistake, and it will cause irreversible destruction here... In this absolutely safe and closed environment, all animals exhaust their own potential. Repeated in-combination mating has led to the increasing seriousness of genetic diseases, and even made them lose the ability to leave offspring and gradually fade themselves."

Speaking of here, No. 3 seemed to be mocking himself: "Just like the surviving world outside, in fact, these plants are almost unable to maintain. After the extinction of the Karlis people, I tried my best to maintain the stability of this ecological circulation area. Although it was effective, it was not very big."

Moria and Clayel couldn't understand what No. 3 said, and frowned, while Rin explained to them.

"...Well, indeed, she was right, and the plants here were dying."

After listening to Rin's retelling, Clayel squatted down and gently touched the grass and bushes beside her, with a light green luster flowing in her hands. She closed her eyes and communicated with this tiny nature.

Then the elf sighed and stood up. She shook her head and didn't continue to say anything.

Gioshua and Moria were looking around, and their faces were not much better. Although they had made the worst plans in their minds and the current situation was not bad, they were by no means optimistic.

"It doesn't matter if there is no animal. Even the bark is bark, I can digest it and convert it into energy." Joshua frowned slightly, and he took a step forward and whispered to No. 3: "But what's going on with the large skeletons buried underground."

He waved his hand, and the red fighting spirit lifted up the soil, and suddenly countless pale bones of various creatures appeared in front of everyone, including unknown creatures and Karlis people. All the bones were covered with a thin layer of soil and buried under the earth. Most of them were extremely broken, leaving only a little bit of stone-like remains.

Moria, who also noticed this before, did not care about these bones. He just stood behind Joshua, frowned, and watched the warrior use his golden eyes to communicate with No. 3 in language that no one could know.

Joshua Radcliffe, a descendant of the old friend who inherited the name of the Radcliffe family, has simply returned to his hometown since he learned that his father had died and inherited the title of the title, all the things that the warrior has done have been compared to miracles. Whether it is to destroy his uncle's lord team, or to repel the Black Tide and close the time and space gate twice in a row, this time he came to this world on the verge of end of the end because of an accident, it is also because of the crystal of steel he brought you.

And he can actually speak the language of another world and communicate with the artificial intelligence life in another world... All this feels so strange, it seems to have been set aside.

"The god is above..."

The old dwarf muttered: "Damn it, it's almost the same as a legendary story."

Even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't help but think of the word fate in his heart.

And Joshua is still communicating with No. 3.

"These bones in front of you are the remnants of the warriors who resisted Chaos a thousand years ago."

The artificial intelligence with black wings answered Joshua's question: "In the last day of civilization a thousand years ago, they decided to die here without seeing any hope. Not only here, but there are many skeletons in the Crystal Sun Church above. I think you all saw it."

After a moment of pause, No. 3 seemed to be processing the information in the fortress, and then said: "There are more bones in the nearby living area, and most of them have been decomposed by magic. It is their souls that gather in the central dogma area of ​​the fortress that gave me wisdom."

"Yeah."

Nodding slightly, Joshua suddenly thought of something. His voice passed through the armor and seemed a little dull: "No. 3, have you been wandering on this land for many years?"

"To be precise, it's 1,072 years."

No. 3 bowed slightly: "Of course, if it refers to my autonomous consciousness, it will only be nearly a thousand years."

"very good."

Joshua was very satisfied with this reply, and he looked straight into the artificial intelligence projection's eyes: "So can you explain to us the reasons for those strange phenomena in the outside world? And some special areas in this world."

The warriors said something: "For example, where the gods of desolation gather."
