Ruby produced near Cherbourg is known as the "Red Coral of Cherbourg".

Where do corals grow?

The sea.

The golden staircase in front of the Ruby Palace was forty levels in total. The Ruby Grand Duke stood at the 20th level and inserted his cane heavily into the stormy waves painted by the rubies as beautiful as corals.

An inconspicuous little wave bloomed, like a jumping flame, like a ray of clouds.

After seven generations, the secret of the inner city of Cherbourg could not be defended without any blind spots. There will always be some rumors spreading, making people guess and guess.

Whether it is the ruby ​​cane he never leaves, the gorgeous throne, or even the secret room under the throne, they are all concealed by people. The real Cherbourg center and the real secret are on the golden staircase in front of the Rupi Palace.

The guards, attendants, nobles, merchants and guests from other races all walked up the steps of the golden and red waves, entered the Rubi Palace with all kinds of thoughts, focused their eyes on the cane in his hand, and tentatively looked at his throne.

The Ruby Grand Duke turned around and looked at the mercenaries who were catching up, leaving these angry pariahs with contempt and smug smiles.

The tide sounds rose and fell, and the red waves covered with forty steps seemed to come alive, with huge waves surging, devouring his figure.

The eyes turned dark, and the familiar smell of pine oil penetrated into the nose, and the gentle sound of water filled the ears. The Ruby Grand Duke sorted out his robe and walked calmly along the quiet lake shore, combed his complex thoughts.

The rioters in the mining areas and suburbs have reached this point, and the dwarves' resource crisis is probably about to surface. Since this is the case, he might as well break away from the control of the kingdom and move Cherbourg to other places.

The Ruby Grand Duke sighed slightly, thinking of his dead daughter and parents, and felt that he could not let down their sacrifices.

After all, they even offered their own souls.

Their family and ancestors were once inspired by a strange alchemist to obtain the method of making this ruby ​​with blood and soul as its energy.

It was also from that time that their family began to prepare for future resource crises, divided the vast territory into internal and external parts, gathered as many resources, craftsmen and technology as possible in the inner city to protect it, and slowly cut off the food and clothing left for those lowly civilians.

It is better to squander the food you have stored at endless banquets than to waste it in the mouths of useless animals.

After all, in order not to arouse suspicion from the nobles and to attract the suspicion of the royal family, they also kept these idle parasites in the inner city, blinding their ears and ears with exquisite and lively banquets and ever-changing fashions, and little by little, they cultivated the increasingly withered Cherbourg nobles into useless etiquette and luxury.

Thinking of this, Lord Ruby was also a little grateful to the mercenaries who caused trouble. Thanks to their actions to clean up the nobles, not only leaving themselves an innocent reputation, but now they can still take Cherbourg away without any scruples.

Take Cherbourg away and let Cherbourg fly.

......

"What? Is there no one?"

When Paiso arrived in a hurry, he didn't even see a corner of the Ruby Grand Duke's clothes.

"Well, it disappeared here."

Some people pointed at the steps below their feet, but they were also confused.

They had checked back and forth several times, and even pried out a large number of rubies inlaid in it, but they could not find the mechanism.

Paiso frowned and looked around. Suddenly his face changed and he turned around and ran towards the auditorium.

"That woman!"

When he returned to the auditorium, the grand duke's wife who had just been distraught was gone.

At the same time, the elf archer dyed in eggplant color was also gone.

Paiso pulled his brother's arm and said anxiously:

"Have you added that woman's friend?"

"No, no, I didn't expect it before." Rason replied dumbly.

Paiso calmed down and patted his brother on the shoulder, facing his brother:

"Don't panic, let everyone sweep the warehouse and workshop immediately, and take as much as they can. I will organize everyone to evacuate safely later depending on the situation."

The Ruby Grand Duke's trump card was too tight, and the plan to capture Cherbourg this time was considered a failure. It is better to change your thinking in time and gain more benefits.

They are all players, immortal. Even if the Ruby Grand Kung gets back later, the gold and silver treasures that fall into their pockets cannot be spit out.

"yes!"

Paiso's calmness dissipated a lot of everyone's resentment, and turned into a strange excitement, and ran out in groups of whistles.

The magnificent auditorium quickly returned to its calm. Lasso looked at the NPC corpses that were lying or lying, and suddenly felt a little cold.

"Brother?" He leaned over to Paso.

"It's okay," Paiso's mouth moved, as if he was about to laugh, "Let's go, let's find that elf player."

"What are you going to do with her?"

Lasso was a little curious and hurriedly followed his brother's footsteps toward the auditorium.

I already know that the secret room under the throne is a cover, and Paiso can't have the idea of ​​exploring and researching, and just thinks about how to maximize the benefits in this situation.

"Her appearance is strange."

Although his intuition told him that the elf was a bit weird, Paiso thought about it and thought about it, he only thought of this more reasonable reason.

He couldn't remember where he came out when he showed up every year.

There was his guard at the back door of the auditorium. If she had broken in, there would be no movement at all. The brothers who retreated from the back door also said that they did not find anything unusual.

If she had been hiding in the dark, then when he rubbed the three girls, wouldn't the elf see it but remain indifferent?

Who did she show her kind heart that was pity and sympathy just now?

And why did she come out at that time and say she wants to save the Grand Duke first, but in the end she let them steal the cane and tie the Grand Duke up?

What did she say when she appeared before? Will it be more interesting to save the grand duke?

interesting......

Paiso, who had just stepped out of the auditorium, paused and turned around, and the golden door closed in front of him.

......

The entire dwarf kingdom was built deep underground, and the inner city of Cherbourg, which is an underground city, was built one more floor downward.

This layer is wrapped in a semicircular foundation made of steel, covered with huge machinery and pipes, copper-colored flywheels rolling on towering iron pillars, and tough belts circle a group of tightly clenched gears, which never stop running.

These machinery and pipes connect every building and street on the ground, and can instantly turn any house into a closed prison, turn street lights into energized fences, and build an invincible defensive cover over Cherbourg.

The inner city of Cherbourg is a huge machine, and the hub that controls this machine is in the hands of the Grand Duke Ruby.

Through the carefully carved magic crystal screen in front of him, the Ruby Grand Duke saw the mercenary murderers scattered all over the city, closed the doors and windows of all the houses one by one, and closed the unknown Cherburg residents and robbers together.

When dealing with these bed bugs, the Ruby Grand Duke couldn't help but feel a hint of uncontrollable fanaticism and excitement in his eyes.

The efforts of several generations of the family are finally going to be shown to everyone on the Gaia continent today!

He carefully removed the ruby ​​at the top of the cane, held it in both hands, and gently placed it in the groove under the crystal screen, holding his breath, and pressing his right hand on it.

Nothing happened?

The Ruby Grand Duke was puzzled, and then patted his forehead, bit his five fingers on his right hand hard, and put them on again.

A faint red light enveloped him, and the gem seemed to have melted in an instant. The flowing liquid gradually wrapped around his head and neck along his arms, and then covered his entire body downwards.

At this point, the huge machine in the inner city of Cherbourg merged with his Ruby Grand Duke.

......

"Every year, there are vibrations everywhere in Cherbourg. A translucent defense cover covers the entire inner city. The light source in the sky is constantly flashing. What's wrong with you?"

"Fortunately, you can find a shelter as soon as possible. The sky may collapse. I will go to meet you later. Protect yourself."

Every year, I watched the news fly away, and stood by the lake and waited. When I saw the lake water gradually rippling, I turned around and walked towards the building in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake.

There is the hiding place of Grand Duke Ruby and the biggest secret of Cherbourg.

When false is true, the true is false, and when true is false, the false is true. When entering this level, the passage is actually hidden in the secret room under the throne.

However, like the mechanism on the golden staircase, only the bloodline of the Ruby Family can be opened.

The most core layer of Cherbourg's big machine is a lake, a living water lake.

According to Mrs. Ruby, this is a transaction between the Ruby family and the elf leader. The elf leader helped them intercept the groundwater veins and accumulate them in this lake through space bridges, as a clean water source exclusively for use in the inner city.

The Ruby Family gave the elf patriarch something in return, but the Grand Duke's wife was unaware of it.

Every year, he was guessing various possibilities endlessly. When he looked up, he saw a faint door. He knocked politely and walked in.

A red crystal figure was looking back at her in horror.

"Concentrate," leaning on the door frame every year, "You dwarves are born without a chance to have magic elements. It is feasible to force a connection by this method, but they also require 100% concentration to control it."

I looked up every year and seemed to see the sky through the roofs covered with pipes:

"Make the entire city float like a flying island, this is a technical job."

She suddenly had a bright eye and asked with great interest:

"Do you need help? I think your look is pretty handsome."

The Ruby Grand Duke who transformed into a magic crystal man looked at it and then, finally confirmed that he was not hostile every year, so he turned around and continued to focus on the flying island plan in front of him.

One reason is that as Nian Nian said, this matter requires great concentration.

These crystal shells covering his whole body seemed to open countless pairs of eyes, ears and breathing mouths and noses, and some information he had never imagined had penetrated into his body like a tide, stretching his nerve endings like a tide.
