Chapter 344 Give Me the House
He figured it out; the arbitrary brain circuits were different from those of normal fish.
But the more this is the case...
The more enigmatic he became, the more determined he was to win him over.
Floating aimlessly in the water is not as stable as having your feet on solid ground; Arthur's friendly pat almost knocked him off balance.
He helplessly leaned against the wall, just about to explain the issue of aesthetics.
The instant when you can touch the wall—
[Leviathan's skull]
[Review: Half of the skull of a legendary ancient deep-sea behemoth... its material is indestructible. Congratulations, you've found the answer to this problem. PS: What an extravagant piggy bank!]
ha?
I randomly stuck it to the base of the wall, then touched it again in a different spot.
The evaluation remains unchanged.
He swam a little further away, leaving the fish behind, and touched the door that looked like two big front teeth.
Leviathan's Teeth
[Review: A piece of a tooth from a legendary ancient deep-sea behemoth... its material is indestructible. Congratulations, you've found the answer! PS: What an extravagant denture!]
Is this treasure trove actually just the skull of a giant beast?
"Hey bro, is there something wrong with this wall?"
Seeing that Ren Yi remained silent and continued to touch the wall with a fascination, Arthur felt that the scene was a bit strange.
"Is it because it's old and the algae on top is affecting its appearance? I'll call the fish to clean it right away!"
"No, no, no..."
As Ren slowly turned around, something seemed to be burning in the middle of his pupils, which gave Arthur a chill.
"...Brother Renyi, you don't actually want this door, do you?"
"What's the point of having it? This thing is only good as a storage room... it can't even emit light!"
In the deep sea, things that have no energy fluctuations and cannot emit light are roughly equivalent to building materials.
Arthur added awkwardly:
"And it's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but this door is connected to the entire treasure vault; there's no way to knock it down!"
"Oh...in that case..."
After a moment of contemplation, offer a sincere suggestion.
"How about... you give me this entire warehouse?"
"I don't want anything inside, I just want the house."
Arthur stared at Ren Yi for a long while, his expression serious yet tinged with curiosity: "Brother, seriously, why...why do you want this treasure vault?"
"It's sturdy."
"...That's it?"
"Large capacity".
"...Anything else?"
"It's a piggy bank."
Arthur: "..."
He took a deep breath and decided to express his sincerity in the most direct way.
"Okay! From today onwards, this house is yours! But... can you move out?"
The king's waving gesture was very bold.
They directly transferred ownership of this brain-shaped blind box to Renyi, giving off a "you win if you can take it" attitude.
搬？
Renyi secretly laughed at the king's naivety, saying, "Today I'll show you what it means to be cheated."
break down.
Decomposition failed.
Unconvinced, the captain moved to another spot and touched it again.
break down.
Decomposition failed.
......
Perhaps annoyed, when they tried to disassemble it again with the attitude of not giving up until it was enhanced to +16.
Decomposition failed!
[WARNING: The target size and level exceed the current processing threshold. Forcing decomposition will result in overload! PS: Please be more careful!]
The persistent captain pondered for a moment and then opened the module evolution panel again.
as predicted.
The "Carnival of the Intoxicated (Lv2)" and "Mimetic Buffer Layer (LV3++)" both showed plus signs, but they were both grayed out.
It seems they're afraid that Renyi might pull some more crazy moves.
This time, Xiao Hai gave a direct hint:
Vehicle evolution level insufficient
I can't eat...
Why did you regretfully withdraw your hand? Wouldn't it have been better if you had said so earlier?
"How about it? Should I bring over some giant seahorses to try?"
Arthur leaned forward and made a rather cheeky suggestion.
He knew, of course, that this thing couldn't be moved; this treasure trove had been here for at least several hundred years.
"It's okay."
"Let's store it here for now, consider it a temporary deposit. Your Majesty doesn't mind, does he?"
Ren's face was full of indifference—
Let's come back after the evolution is complete.
"Of course, you're always welcome." Arthur laughed heartily.
The question of where the treasure vault belongs is (temporarily) resolved; feel free to ask about serious matters.
"Speaking of which,"
"Regarding mithril, Her Highness the Third Princess just said that it was all transported to the Priest's Tower?"
"That's right. The priest tower said that mithril is the key material for maintaining the stability of the 'Abyss' seal. Since I took this position, I've only seen it on the loss list they submit."
Look at Arthur's furrowed brows,
This clearly stems from a long-standing resentment towards the mysterious behavior of the priest tower.
but......
The conflict between imperial power and divine authority seems to be nothing new, and it's normal.
Renyi said to Arthur:
"Let's go check out the edge of the abyss rift."
......
I've heard that there are ore-containing minerals that can't be refined, which are found there from time to time.
I'm really tempted.
Others can't refine it, but he can!
He had only planned to go for a stroll by himself, but unexpectedly His Majesty the King came along as well.
A large group of fish swam northwards into the deeper, colder waters.
along the way,
Sean would occasionally take out the Medusa's Eye and rub it on his head and chest while muttering incantations.
Carlos curiously leaned closer to eavesdrop:
"Curse me, curse me... Why are you doing this?"
Sean noticed and cautiously hid the ruby under the scales.
"Don't even think about taking away my faith!"
Carlos: "..."
This guy seems to be getting more and more abnormal since he went bald.
During the journey, Arthur explained to Renyi why such an important prison was placed above the Abyss Rift.
"Imprisoning the criminals here is both a punishment and a line of defense, as the more vicious they are, the more they face the terror of the abyss."
If something unusual happens in the abyss, the monsters inside will come out...
These prisoners, even if they are the first batch of suicide soldiers, can buy the Deep Blue Kingdom valuable early warning time.
The two-legged creatures present reacted in different ways.
Ivan nodded repeatedly, thinking it was an excellent idea. Renyi and Nathan felt that the Blue Kingdom could maximize its value in this situation and that the approach was reasonable. Aurora even said that doing so was a form of atonement, after which one could go to see the Lord. On the contrary, the engineer felt it was inhumane and could not agree with it.
Just then.
"BOOM—BOOM—!!!"
An indescribable, terrifying tremor suddenly came from the due north!
For a time...
The entire seabed trembled, and countless tiny pebbles and sand were shaken up, instantly turning the seawater murky.
The tremors lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually subsiding.
But then,
A wall of darkness is enveloping them from the end at a seemingly slow but actually rapid pace!
All sounds, light, and breath seemed to be erased wherever it passed.
Arthur and Riseben's blond hair shimmered slightly in the water. Their lips trembled, and they said solemnly:
"How could this be... the abyss..."
"...They're here."
