Chapter 377 A Short Story (4k)

"Hmm, let's keep going inside."

Alicia walked back to the cave, carefully stepping on the slippery stones caused by the night tide. Ji Lin vaguely saw the amber eyes flashing with joy.

Everyone likes to stay in a place where nothing changes, stay in the office to handle chores.

"Hey, Ji, so do you think we will really find treasure?"

Coastal caves are often the places where treasures are buried in stories. These strange and possibly interconnected special geological environments are natural mazes.

They are submerged by the sea when the tide rises and revealed in the sun when the tide falls.

But it's a pity.

The territory looked around, not to mention pirates, there was not even a ship belonging to the territory.

Naturally, there will be no buried treasures here. All rewards from the system are directly distributed to the lord's personal terminal...or these crystal crabs are the biggest treasures here.

Some lords born on islands can set up salvage fleets to obtain rare blueprints and rare materials. That is a special route for their series of lords.

They have more land under the sun, but face a larger and more vast world-but most of that world is ocean.

"Well, if it is that kind of man-made treasure, it may not be, but this cave is of great help to the development of the territory."

Ji Lin stopped walking as he watched Alicia walking in front of him, and his eyes fell on the quartz growing on the edge of the wall.

It was a centimeter-long almost perfect hexagonal crystal, growing alone on the edge of the wall.

She stood on tiptoe to cut the crystal completely, and raised her hand to show Ji Lin the almost perfect regular hexagonal prism. This crystal also shone with the same luster as the ground crystal that Ji Lin got from the seagull.

This special crystal cave has a large number of quartz crystal clusters, which grow like mushrooms on the rock wall. Those quartz ores that have not been transformed into ground crystals by the surging ground veins have become amplifiers for spreading the luster of ground crystals.

‘Quartz ore’, ‘gem ore’, ‘energy-conducting crystal’.

This is a rich mine, and an extremely rich mine.

These minerals did not originally exist in this cave, but were carried by the ground veins to this cave/weak point, and then began to grow on the wall like living things.

Ji Lin didn't know why, and vaguely had this idea... Suddenly, he missed Gui Yu who could answer his questions at any time. According to her, the territory was not even half-understanding about the changes brought to the territory by the special veins.

The wealth that can be brought will continue to increase with the exploration, and will be increased by the veins as time goes by.

This cave itself is the best embodiment of wealth. It contains a large amount of ores that can be used as energy conduction materials, and also crystal materials that can be used as the reinforcement materials of magic civilization.

The changes brought to the territory by the Star Vein Tower are definitely not as simple as the "10% increase in crop yield in the territory" written on the paper data provided by the system...

'New project has been added: vein research'

'We have never realized what kind of power is surging in the land under our feet. The land we rely on for survival may be deeper than the sky. ’

‘Unlock special ground vein buildings as the research process progresses, providing special bonuses for the territory. ’

When Ji Lin realized this, the system placed the special research project in the territory's research project column in a timely manner, and ranked it behind the steam core research project.

Keep going forward.

The karst caves on the coast, where water flows converge, and the seawater with a lot of salt erodes and takes away a layer of stone parts that originally belonged to the ground in rounds of ebbs and flows.

Then the hard stone turned into accumulated water, and the accumulated water connected to form streams, and the streams turned into pools.

“Hey... Hey...”

The light white short boots gently landed on a stone exposed above the water, the priest's uniform swayed slightly with her jumping movements, and the soft shawl gently lifted up with the movements.

Precise, perfect.

One step away from landing on each stone exposed from the shallow water, smoothly crossing the road blocked by the sea.

The light ball suspended in the air for temporary lighting slowly drifted forward with her movement, illuminating the center of the crystal cave.

A regular, semi-circular geological cavity, with a large amount of accumulated water, densely covered with stone pillars and crystal clusters.

This forest of crystal clusters that had not seen the sun for a long time began to refract various colors of light under the light created by divine magic. The colorful light confirmed that the light emitted by the suspended light ball was similar to or even the same as the sunlight.

All white light is composite light, and it will present different light after being deflected by the prism.

Crystals are the transmission of light. The crystal clusters alternately transmit light, mixed with the light of the ground crystal, making the interior of the crystal cave that has never seen dazzling light begin to sparkle.

The priest lady waved to him on the other side.

Ji Lin followed Alicia's steps and wrapped his feet with source essence to avoid being soaked by the cold sea water. He wanted to learn from her and jump over the stones that had been corroded by sea salt countless times.

The commander underestimated these smooth and reflective stones and overestimated his own balance ability... This was his misjudgment.

If Alicia had been paying attention to him, he would have fallen into the water.

The most serious injury suffered by the lord was because he fell down while playing with his female friend on a slippery rock while jumping on a ladder. The rock may have become MVP.

It was hard for him to imagine that there was such a place on the coast two kilometers away from his territory.

The natural landscape of the mine can only be chosen one of the two, which is a pity.

If a plank road can be built here to pass through, it will be an extremely perfect scenic spot without any unnecessary development... But compared to the basic scenic spots that bring any income, the income from turning this place into a mine will be immediate.

After crossing the stream formed by the accumulated water, they truly entered the interior of the crystal cave.

No monster came to greet the two uninvited guests, and they only responded to the tapping sound of water drops falling on the stone surface.

"놋鱼."

Ji Lin saw Alicia standing by the stream. She lowered her head slightly and stared at the water.

The fish that usually live in a dark environment were disturbed by the light emitted by the light balls floating in the air. They fled in all directions in the clear and transparent stream without paying any attention to the two visitors who belonged to this place. With them.

They ran away in panic, hoping to find a shadow in the light stream to cover their figures.

"Hey, Ji, those big crabs grew up eating these fish."

Ji Lin measured the length of these swimming fish with his eyes and fingers. If the crystallized crabs, which are almost as big as a car, really have to survive by eating these fish, then they will probably start killing each other if they grow into two. .

"Well, it's too small and enough to eat."

After all, if monsters want to survive, they must find their own food source. Maybe they crawl out of the cave and hunt on the bottom of the sea, or they may hunt nearby things suitable for food.

The system will specially provide energy to these thrown monsters remotely, and at most create some food sources nearby for them... These food sources will eventually benefit the lord.

If the people in the territory encounter this kind of monster, there will be no resistance, and humans will become their blood food.

Maybe I didn't find it before, but now that I have discovered the monster's nest, I must eradicate it completely.

And other things...

When Ji Lin had just invoked the source material bundle to protect himself, Ji Lin's source material gave him a strange and familiar aura from the surrounding environment, but the magical light ball above his head was like a big light bulb that interfered with his mood. observe.

Observation as human sight, exploration as the Sephiroth unfolds.

"Alicia, can you turn off the light ball... I want to take a look here."

The girl stayed for a moment, looked at the surrounding environment, lowered her head slightly and turned off the light ball.

The light extinguished, and the azure shimmer extended and replaced the dominant position of the white light.

놊 is the kind of light that the earth vein crystal emits because it only contains the extremely high energy of the earth veins.

That was the brilliance of the earth's veins, the same as what he saw in Gui Yu's world, with a heavy and cold aura, but with a hint of vitality of life and prosperity.

The moment the light went out, the girl took a step closer to Ji Lin, and Ji Lin reached out and held her hand.

Alicia's eyes lit up, this is the story she wanted to tell!

Following the data fed back by the source material, Ji Lin pulled Alicia through the cave.

They passed through a jungle of stone pillars and crystals.

Kill the crystallized crab in front of you.

He marked the spot where the crystallized crabs lay their eggs, and secretly roasted two of them using magic to heat them on the spot.

A well, an unguarded well.

There is a pool on one side and a pool where you can see the flowing earth veins on the other side.

‘You have discovered a Leyline Node/Leyline Weakness. ’

‘You can build a branch Leyline Tower/Star Vein Tower here to completely control this area, and use the power of the Star Vein Master to improve the climate and terrain of the adjacent area. ’

'You have completed the exploration of the crystal cave, the weak point of the earth's veins. '

"Great!"

Alicia looked at the solid energy flow flowing slowly like a stream, showing surprise and joy.

"Is this what the monsters are guarding?"

"It's ley lines, a very special resource, and this is the treasure they guard."

Ji Lin explained, tentatively putting his fingers into the earth veins.

The earth's veins flowed around his hand like water, arcing and flashing. This was the pulse of the earth, and it would not be easily exploited by anyone.

It will not violently inject everything it touches like an electric current, but a container that can permeate everything like hydrogen.

"It's amazing...I'll give it a try too."

She stretched out her hand and felt the flow and fluctuation of the earth's veins. The materialized earth's veins flowed around her palm like water, and water-like droplets fell on the ground.

"Alicia, I have something to tell you..."

Standing next to the flowing earth veins, Ji Lin coughed lightly and spoke to the girl who was leaning next to the weak point of the earth veins.

If 놚 makes things clear, now is the best time.

Ji Lin felt that he had inexplicably turned into a bad person who took advantage of other people's emotions.

"Uh-huh..."

She tilted her head, revealing a hint of complicated emotions in her amber eyes.

"I actually have two female friends with whom I have a very good relationship..."

Ji Lin saw a little devilish smile on her lips, as if the wait had finally come to an end.

Amber eyes looked directly into Ji Lin's eyes, and her voice was very soft and ethereal.

"After all, Ji, you are a guy who doesn't like cleaning his own room..."

It was like the god of death rubbing his blade leisurely.

Ji Lin was sweating coldly when he heard it. He really didn't have the habit of cleaning his room... and before that, his room was given to Jeanna for a while.

During that time, he lived in the reception room, and left the most comfortable room for Jeanna.

"I found super long golden hair in your room. The magic can only tell me that it is a girl, about three years old... She must be very beautiful, right?"

She is not stupid.

But if there is resentment, there must be some. He didn't promise his own story, and he went to hook up with other girls.

His heart told Alicia that he was an absolutely reliable person, that heart that was crying blood and shining with cold light and holding high a dazzling flag - it was like this when they first met.

A heart that was crying blood and shining.

It's not like she hadn't seen other leaders before, but their hearts were covered with dust, and the best people only showed their luster.

What kind of person would shed tears and be unwilling to accept his past failures?

So she knew that the guy in front of her, Ji Lin, could bring her very interesting stories, but even if there were no stories, she would be quite happy to be by his side.

In the end, he was still a bastard.

During this time, she had been waiting for Ji Lin to speak first, but this guy was only acting.

She blinked and threw out the question that Ji Lin was most concerned about.

"Do you want me to stay in the territory and help you work?"

Ji Lin nodded, feeling the blade of the god of death wandering around his neck, he could already see the cold light on the blade.

The first thing he thought of was that it seemed that his original wife was gone.

The first thing he thought of was that if he was reborn, he might be able to return to his role as 007.

"Did you kiss?"

Ji Lin nodded with difficulty.

"Did she kiss you or did you kiss her."

Ji Lin nodded and shook his head.

"Did she kiss you or did you kiss her."

Ji Lin didn't say anything, he was already sweating.

He took a deep breath, looked back at what he had done in the past, and felt that he was indeed a jerk.

Words no longer made sense, the communication in the eyes had conveyed all the information.

She closed her eyes, her amber eyes no longer stared at him, and she raised her chin slightly.

Ji Lin didn't know in which novel he had read that when a girl closes her eyes to you, it means she wants you to move, and sometimes he really doesn't want this bad knowledge to come in handy.

Ji Lin closed his eyes and bowed his head with a desperate heart.

It was very soft, not as hasty as Jeanne's time, so he could almost feel the softness perfectly.

"Okay, that's it..."

Alicia tapped her lips lightly, as if she was savoring the kiss just now... and didn't feel anything.

But she was very happy, really happy, but she was also a very greedy person.

So.

Alicia reached out and hugged Ji Lin, standing on tiptoe, her well-developed body pressed tightly against Ji Lin with only a layer of cloth between them.

She moved again.
