Chapter 21: Is there an elevator?

The residual heat of the football league has not yet dissipated, and the two new sports swept the city like a tornado. Thousands of undead have devoted themselves to great causes day and night, and even reached the point of forgetting to eat and tearing a wall to steal light. To be honest, the attraction of badminton and table tennis cannot be compared with football, but these two sports are favorable in the convenience of operation and the small requirements for the venue. And most importantly, the ghosts finally have a place to use their skills and no longer have to sit in the stands and be viewers...

Therefore, within half a month, the emerging and vigorous sports scenes could be seen in the entire city of Dead - the skeleton guards were patrolling with a football while they were patrolling; two ghosts flew by in the air, and they did not forget to hold the racket and practice the ball... If these scenes were changed to a time and space, they could be regarded as Olympic bid promotional videos. What is a national movement? This is called a national movement!

As a result, the original inventor was completely abandoned and became an idle person who did nothing. He lazily taught the baby prenatal education and made bets on the child's gender with Alex and others. He Taiping, who had been in the house for several days, finally took the brigade to visit the goblin's residence. Considering the unknown danger that might arise, he also sent Fire to invite Helen, but the answer he got was that the city lord was in seclusion and had no time to travel.

"Does she plan to shout 'Sunrise in the east, I am the only one who is unbeaten'?" While making such nonsense, He Taiping couldn't help but look back at the cadre behind him. Unfortunately, the only three women were pregnant or acting as nanny, so she had to go on a road with a group of male creatures. There is no doubt that this reduced the fun of traveling by half.

What's worse is that since the invention of goblins often brings hidden destructive power, the City of Dead issued a strict order decades ago to prohibit the establishment of goblin camps around the city. Therefore, it took everyone a long time to reach the outside of the Goblin City. Seeing the arrival of the guests, Benda Lulu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward, and his smile on his face grabbed He Taiping and began to talk and chatter in habit.

"You will be surprised, Andrew! I promise you will be surprised. There are many inventions you have never seen in Dungeon City!" In the process of guiding them into Dungeon City, Bendo Lulu repeated this sentence at least ten times, and it was louder and louder every time. Of course he was very excited. This was the first time other races have visited Dungeon City after a skeleton messenger fell into the magic mixer five years ago.

"Yes, I'm indeed surprised!" He Taiping nodded in agreement, praying that the surprise would not kill people. However, after a moment of distracting, he was tripped by a rope without paying attention to the ground. Bendalu hurriedly helped him up, and He Taiping was stunned to find that the rope was connected to many other things and extended from all directions. He didn't know where these ropes lead to... But for safety reasons, I'll ask you again next time.

"There are many wonderful parts in it." Benda Lulu didn't mean to give up. He continued to introduce it until they walked to a huge steel door. "If you want, I can jump directly to that part, like my great-great-great-grandmother Nongsu invented the dishwasher..."

"I really want to hear it, but the dishwasher is not very useful to me." He Taiping shrugged helplessly and tried to bring the topic back to the formality. "In fact, I want to see what can enhance Alex and their combat power. You know, they are a little more vulnerable."

"Yes, it looks very fragile." Looking at the muscular tauren behind him, Honda nodded in agreement. Then, he reached out to pull a rope next to the steel door, "But don't worry about this for now. We have arrived at the entrance of the hall. Should we visit first?"

As he said this, he had already smiled and gently pulled the rope down. For a moment, nothing seemed to happen, but then a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and after a burst of steam that had almost completely cooked them out, two steel doors in the center of the mountain opened.

"Automation?" He Taiping showed a slightly shocked expression, and suddenly felt that he underestimated the goblin's creative ability. However, a few seconds later, when he saw the steel door stuck due to a malfunction and steam began to spew out of every gap in the hall... the man immediately sighed and decided to take back his inference.

"Actually, there will be minor malfunctions occasionally!" Honda Lulu's face turned slightly red. I don't know if it was because of shame or because of steam burning. But the audience around him were not interested in listening to this explanation. They stood there in a daze, tilting their heads and looking upwards, it was hard to believe everything they saw. In fact, even the greedy starry sky forgot to eat. He bit his two chicken legs and murmured vaguely: "Well, I don't know how to describe this place?"

At this moment, they were standing in the center of the dwarf city. The city was built in an extinct crater, with a radius of hundreds of feet wide and a height of nearly one mile. He Taiping looked up and looked up... and then up... and then... he suddenly felt that his neck was about to break: "Okay, I'll give up! Lulu, how many floors are there?"

"Thirty-five layers!" the goblin leader replied in that proud tone, "It took six hundred years for our ancestors! So from this point of view, we goblins are the real masters of this dungeon. But later, because we were too lazy to manage, we handed it over to the undead and the organs."

"Thirty-five floor?" He Taiping felt unbelievable, and at the same time he ignored the goblin's bragging. At the same time, Alex had already patted his chest and exclaimed white air, "Thirty-five floor, then whoever lives on the top floor is not unlucky? God, how many stairs he has to climb to reach the thirty-five floor, maybe he needs to prepare dry food and clean water."

"Stairs? No, we have long abandoned this original device." Before He Taiping wanted to ask the question of "where is the elevator?", Benda Lulu nodded proudly and pointed to the hall next to him, "Let's take a look at these, these are the terrible technological achievements we have created!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the hall together and fell into shock. A few minutes later, Horn touched his head and asked thoughtfully: "It seems that you are preparing to fight a large-scale battle? To be honest, I have never seen so many trenchers... Oh, when I have never said anything!"

The black dwarf swallowed all his words, especially when he saw a whistle sound, and the catapult shot a goblin out and shot high at the twenty-fifth floor. At this moment, the pale-faced people finally understood that what they saw was not a weapon, but a device to replace the stairs!

In fact, the bottom floor of the hall is filled with stone catapults, which almost contain every kind of stone catapult made by goblins. It is made of spring, cross-bow, and steam engine... The stone catapult is wrapped around hundreds of miles long ropes up and down, and each rope is connected with some kind of gear and mechanical device, making the sound of the machine running. Then, on the floor, wall, and stone catapults are filled with various pull rods, and groups of goblins are trying hard to pull up and down.

"Very good, then I only have one problem." After a few minutes of petrification, He Taiping finally moved his body slightly and asked hopefully: "Lulu, the showroom where those weapons inventions should be placed should be below the tenth floor, right!"

"No, it's actually on the 34th floor!" Benda Lulu's answer as if nothing had happened, made the faces of several guests look like they met a ghost in a night walk. He Taiping shook his head and sighed heartbrokenly; the starry sky bit the chicken legs, suddenly feeling lost its appetite; the flames were glad that they could fly for the first time; as for Alex, who was huge in size and unable to ride on the bloody eagle...

"Boss, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said good morning to my baby!" After a few seconds of silence, the seemingly stupid Tauren was the first to react and immediately walked out the door. But before he could take a step, Honda Lulu had already pulled the corner of his clothes and said happily: "Well, my subordinates are ready. Big man, how about you go to the catapult first?"

Alex fell into petrification at the first time. He was actually pulled by the goblins and walked towards a huge stone thief. A goblin impatiently gestured to them, comparing the long list of goblins waiting in line behind. He Taiping avoided Alex's help-seeking gaze and looked up at the sky with concentration. He could see many Zhuru looking down from each floor, surrounded by various machines, gears and devices that could not be named. The easiest thing to distinguish is something hanging on the wall and similar to a stick.

"Old, boss..." The Taurus, who was not afraid even when facing the Dragon Rider, actually trembled and spoke at this time, looking like a little sheep falling into the wolf's mouth. He Taiping finally could not resist his prayer and sighed slightly: "This, not every time, Drizzt, why don't you replace Alex first?"
