Capítulo 2317: Chapter 1286: A Surprising Sight (Part 2)
“As for the lost Ancient Dwarf Elf technology, once a cooperation can be smoothly established, there will surely be breakthroughs soon.”
“Therefore, from any aspect, becoming allies with the Dwarf Elves is a crucial matter. As long as the Human Clan grows stronger, conquering the Dwarf Elves will become a natural progression, much like the Ironhand Archipelago.”
“Of course, the premise is that everything proceeds smoothly.”
Just as Leo Ray thought of this, the opposite Nathan Howard had already opened a section of the Absolute Defense Barrier, paving the way forward for our group.
“Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency.”
Leo Ray nodded to Nathan Howard and then took a step forward.
Seeing Leo Ray stepping forward, the other strong members of our group followed closely, not daring to show any sloth. Everyone clearly understood that this step by His Imperial Majesty would directly determine the future of the entire Human Clan.
After passing through the welcoming ranks, our team, under further guidance from Nathan Howard, headed deeper into the tunnel.
It is worth mentioning that although there was still some distance from Ice Stone City, the repair of the Energy Convergence Array in Ice Stone City greatly extended Elder Bing’s range of activity, allowing him to continue guarding beside Leo Ray.
With four Tier 6 Combat Power individuals in attendance, coupled with a series of trump cards, Leo Ray’s confidence was considerably boosted.
The footsteps of the group echoed back and forth in the spacious and bright tunnel. This tunnel was not a straight line but rather winding and circuitous, at times connected by downward staircases, occasionally with Magic Flow Light flickering on the walls, and even some movable cave walls that opened the path under the command of Nathan Howard.
This clearly shows that the Dwarf Elves have obviously put in a lot of effort to prevent dragons from attacking here or being subjected to Dragon Breath attacks.
After all, although the normal physique of dragons can’t enter, Red Sith had once appeared in human form, which means perhaps other Red Dragons have the same capability.
As the group’s footsteps went deeper, the originally spacious tunnel scenery also became more lively.
On both sides, there were many Dwarf Elf barracks embedded in the walls, and teams of Dwarf Elf soldiers patrolling.
However, compared to the Dwarf Elf soldiers brought by Nathan Howard, these Dwarf Elves were obviously much weaker, carrying Alchemy Puppets between Tier 4 and Tier 5, mostly equipped at Tier 4.
“It seems that Nathan Howard brought the elite combat power of the Dwarf Elves, but even these ordinary Dwarf Elf soldiers are enough to easily rival the most elite soldiers of the Human World.”
Leo Ray observed silently, nodding thoughtfully.
This was merely the surface of what he saw; the Dwarf Elves must surely have other hidden trump cards and elite combat powers.
After all, from the descriptions by the Administrator, it can be seen that although the Dwarf Elves suffered a crushing defeat back then, they initially managed to stand toe-to-toe with the massive dragon group.
While pondering, Leo Ray also acutely noticed another rather helpless point.
That is, although very implicitly expressed, the dwarf soldiers along the way did not seem very welcoming to our side, which was evidently caused by the mysterious previous Human visitors.
“I’m really curious who exactly that group of people was.”
Leo Ray shifted his gaze from those Dwarf Elf soldiers holding helmets, smiling helplessly.
At the same time, Leo Ray further sensed that Nathan Howard’s identity was not merely a common patrol officer; this was noticeable from the respectful attitude of the Dwarf Elf soldiers along the way.
Under the silent watch of the Dwarf Elf soldiers, when Leo Ray and his group arrived at the end of the tunnel via a downward staircase, the view finally opened up.
“This is…?”
Leo Ray exclaimed in astonishment at the sight before him.
What met his eyes was not the imagined dark underground scene, but rather a sunlit, cloud-floating environment, filled with the sounds of birds and flowers everywhere.
Under the illumination of two suns overhead, a sprawling and well-laid-out giant, unfamiliar city appeared before everyone, bordered by endless forests and rivers as far as the eye could see.
Due to the excessively strong light, those who had just walked out from the passage felt as if having crossed over into another world.
“Lord, this is a scene created by a combination of Sky Illusion Skill and Mirror Illusion Art, making the originally dark tunnel appear as bright as the outside world.”
Elusa, amidst her amazement, bowed to Leo Ray and said, “It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the first time I’ve seen such an exquisite technique.”
“Miss Dark Elf is too kind; this is merely the outcome of the Dwarf Elves’ efforts, nothing much.”
Nathan Howard smiled slightly, then nodded to Leo Ray and said, “Your Majesty of the Humans, our king awaits you in the palace.”
Saying this, Nathan Howard quickly guided us into this city of the Dwarf Elves.
Walking into the unfamiliar city, Leo Ray’s eyes shone brightly again.
The buildings here were mostly rare metal structures, filled with large and small gears everywhere, accompanied by the sporadic rumble of steam engines, exuding a strong steampunk vibe.
At the center of the main road, there was even a track-bound metal train resembling a train whistling through, then stopping at a platform on the other side.
“Truly worthy of being the power that invented the Spatial Train.”
Leo Ray gazed at the queue of Dwarf Elf residents boarding the train not far away, as well as the smoking chimneys of the metal train, his eyes filled with increasing astonishment.
Undeniably, this was very reminiscent of scenes from the Steam Era on the Earth.
Of course, in the Dwarf Elves’ tech system, this was referred to as Magic Energy.
This special energy, produced by the Magic Steam Boiler, not only consumed ordinary resources like ores as fuel but could also use weaponry and equipment, with higher tiers generating more abundant energy.
“It seems that Your Majesty of the Humans is quite interested in the Magic Energy Train.”
Nathan Howard evidently noticed Leo Ray’s astonishment and smiled, “After the last Magic Steam Boiler improvement, the exhaust produced during the conversion process is fully transformed into regular energy particles under the blessing of the Purification Array in the chimney, with just a regular need to replace the Array Core Stone in the Purification Array.”
“Truly a surprisingly remarkable achievement.”
Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows, retracting his attention.
The major and medium-sized cities of the Human Clan are similarly vast, and if such a perfected transportation system could also be established in the city, it would undoubtedly greatly promote the development of the Human World.
Moreover, if the railway could be spread across the Human World, it would indeed be a tremendous accomplishment.
Even though transportation capabilities have already peaked under the support of the Lord Network for humans, this is limited to the transportation of goods and only between terminals, leaving a section of the journey, which could thus maximize the efficiency of this segment.
With faster efficiency, saving more labor, naturally, more resources can be invested in preparation for the future, with numerous benefits self-evident.
Thinking this, Leo Ray continued toward the city center under Nathan Howard’s introduction.
Although the train is very convenient for ordinary residents, for the extraordinarily powerful Leo Ray and his group, naturally, they could easily surpass it in terms of speed.
Before long, guided by Nathan Howard, our group had already reached a massive, imposing metal building.
This was a metal castle, also covered in rotating gears, bearings, and springs, appearing highly distinctive.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, this is my king’s palace.”
Nathan Howard nodded to Leo Ray, bowing again, making a “please” gesture, and smiling, “This way please, our king has been waiting for quite a while.”
