Chapter 499 The secret hidden in the ground
Fang Zheng himself didn't actually know much about the history of this continent, so he didn't expect that he could actually get such a secret from Wells.
According to the old paladin, in the hundreds of years before that, the development of this continent was quite in line with the "Medieval Western Fantasy" imagined by Founder. But starting from the Kadra Empire, the entire
The level of civilization development on the mainland has undergone a big leap. The magic warships and even magic engines used today actually had their prototypes during the Kadra Empire, but the Kadra Empire itself did not have one at that time.
Developed - or think about it, it is precisely because developing these requires a lot of resources and manpower that the Kadra Empire chose to invade other countries.
Regarding the Kadra Empire's statement, the Kingdom of Holy Religion at that time didn't say much. They didn't get furious as Fang Zheng thought and then called on the coalition forces to go up and put the country on the spot in the name of "blasphemy".
execution.
After all, the core doctrine of the Kingdom of the Holy Religion is to maintain order. Besides, there are really gods in this world. If Kadra jumps like this, it will be over sooner or later if there is no blessing from the gods... Well, it later proved that the idea of the Kingdom of the Holy Religion really didn't exist.
Wrong, Kadra jumped and jumped, and then he was attacked by the devil army.
After hundreds of years of war, the Kadra Empire itself was of course doomed. Although the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Holy Religion and the Kingdom of Magic at that time repelled the devil's army,
The order of the entire Kadra has collapsed, and as a result, it was invaded by Chaos. This also resulted in these countries being able to only find a few pieces of junk from the ruins of Kadra to study, and then retreat in a hurry... You can't run if you don't run.
Lost.
The magic engine was reverse-developed by these countries based on the wreckage picked up by Kadra. Judging from the results, this empire has really contributed to improving the overall level of the continent.
Now that Kadra has gone cold, then the empire's statement that "they received the gift of the goddess" is obviously nonsense, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. If the Kadra Empire undoubtedly unearthed something
The equipment, weapons arsenal or research center used by each goddess... Just like the country dug up UFO during World War I, wouldn't it also be able to improve its strength?
And because of this, Kadra was so confident that he claimed that he was gifted by the goddess, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him?
Of course, these are just conjectures. We will know exactly what happens after we enter the underground ruins.
After two days, the coalition forces finally advanced to the entrance and exit of the underground space. This time, Knight Commander Wells seemed to have given up. He did not ask Fang Zheng to take him down with him, but Knight Commander Wells gave him
Fang Zheng sent a candidate who was beyond his expectation.
"Miss Fina?"
"It's been a long time, Mr. Fangzheng."
The girl holding the scepter and wearing the priest's uniform greeted Fang Zheng with a sweet smile, and Fang Zheng was also quite surprised when he saw Fina.
"You also joined this coalition? Why didn't I see you?"
"I was sent here just now because Knight Commander Wells said he needed my help, so I came..."
"That's it..."
After hearing Fina's answer, Fang Zheng nodded. He didn't know why Wells chose to send Fina. But if he thought about it carefully, maybe it was because she was closer to him? If so, that's the case.
It makes sense, after all, the temple is not unaware of his relationship with Fina. If he wants to bring the relationship closer between the two parties, it is normal for him to send Fina here.
"Are we going down into this cave next?"
As she spoke, Fina glanced at the huge cave in front of them. This cave was hundreds of meters wide and almost bottomless. According to the records obtained by Neptune through the probe, this cave was 100 meters away from the underground space.
At the very least, it has a depth of about 1,500 meters.
If this was really discovered by the Kadra Empire, Fang Zheng would be really curious as to how that country dug such a deep hole in the first place.
"Then, let's go."
Now that Fina has arrived, Fang Zheng will certainly not drive her back. When she was in the Dark Swamp before, this priest had shown that she was familiar with the history of the continent, and there might be an opportunity to use her knowledge here.
And compared to others, Fang Zheng also has a higher degree of trust in Fina.
Although Neptune has confirmed that there is no danger inside, for the sake of safety, Fang Zheng did not bring too many people with him for this exploration. Apart from himself, the first person Fang Zheng had to bring with him was the little angel. If the relics of the goddess are real
As Fang Zheng guessed, if it comes from a higher civilization, then Nimfu, who can crack all invasions, is obviously the best choice.
Next is Fina, and besides Fina there is also the Javelin. After all, in such a deep cave, it is impossible for Fang Zheng to float down directly with a Feather Falling Technique, so he chooses to ride the Javelin's Hidden Bomb, and...
"Iona...are you sure you want to go with me?"
Looking at the girl next to Javelin, Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask, while Iona nodded.
"Of course, because Fang Zheng is my captain, as Fang Zheng's mental model, I naturally have to act together with Fang Zheng."
Alas...this girl is having trouble.
Looking at Iona in front of him, Fang Zheng was also speechless. Now Iona has been upgraded from the previous stealth bomber to a battleship. Due to its huge size, Fang Zheng has left many things to other battleships, which makes Iona more
She was somewhat unhappy. Originally, Fang Zheng didn’t plan to ask Iona to accompany him this time, but after she found out about Fang Zheng’s decision, she insisted on coming with her... Fang Zheng only hesitated slightly about this.
I agreed.
After all, he is his own child.
And as Iona said, she is Founder's flagship. As a result, everything Founder leaves to others to do. Well... although everyone does perform their own duties, but... for Iona
For Na, I think she still has some complaints.
"All right."
In the end, Fang Zheng chose to take Iona with him. There were no special restrictions between the mental model and their ship. If possible, Iona could travel around. But generally speaking, just as humans don’t
Just like they would choose to leave their home too far, their mental models rarely leave their battleships.
After determining the number of people, everyone got on the Javelin stealth bomber and quickly sailed towards the interior of the cavity.
"What a unique design..."
Sitting in the cab, looking at the futuristic sci-fi decorations and flashing panels in front of her, Fina couldn't help but sigh.
"This is completely different from our technology..."
"Oh, is it so?"
Hearing Fina talking to herself, Fang Zheng turned his head and glanced at her.
"But if you want, you can probably do it to this extent."
"makes sense."
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Fina couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"In fact, discussions within the temple have begun on whether to use metal to build magic warships...Mr. Founder, you have surprised many people."
"That's it."
Fang Zheng was not surprised that the temple would react like this. In fact, the Sorcerous Kingdom had entrusted Miss Ogland to send a message to him, hoping to study these metal battleships. They were even willing to give away their treasures for this purpose.
In exchange for magic, Fang Zheng was also a little tempted by this, but unfortunately, when he asked about those mental models, he was unanimously rejected by everyone.
Even a vampire who is usually very open-minded said, "I only show off my skills and not my body. It's so perverted to want to see my engine or something! H! Dirty! Perverted! Shameless!"
So Founder decisively swallowed the dangerous topic of which part of the engine belongs to the mental model.
But, having said that...this is not like the technology possessed by a country in a fantasy magical world.
Looking at the hole in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but his expression became much more serious. This was not because he found anything unusual, but because the hole itself was very abnormal. He had not noticed it before, but Fang Zheng only discovered it after the javelin entered the passage.
This hole was dug at a perfect 45-degree angle, and the surrounding walls were extremely smooth. It didn't look like a man-made cave at all, but rather like it was left behind after being penetrated by some kind of ray.
This level of penetration, on Fang Zheng's side, could only be achieved by the main guns of battleships like Hell's Angels and Paladin. But here, is there such power?
