Chapter 4475 Chapter 4477 [Gillman Kingdom]
Tonla was nailed to the cross in the square by the angry mermaid.
Nails were driven into both his hands and the fish's tail, causing him to bleed. However, he could not die and could only live in pain forever.
And he has become an eternal negative example. All mermaids can see his miserable state, and naturally they will not dare to be a traitor or disobey the goddess of the sea.
As a result, Xiang Nan's status in the Mermaid Kingdom has been greatly improved.
…
Xiang Nan then embedded the Heart of the Ocean rock on the Poseidon Trident.
The two artifacts burst out with blazing light at the same time, making it difficult for anyone to open their eyes.
And when the light flashed, we saw that the heart of the ocean had been fused with the Poseidon Trident.
Xiang Nan tried to wave it, and instantly, huge waves surged in the sea, much more powerful than before.
"It's really good." Xiang Nan said with a satisfied smile, and then he came to the Gill People Kingdom as a guest. Under the guidance of the Gill People guide, he came to the location of the Gill People Kingdom.
The Gillman Kingdom is also located deep under the sea, but it is not in a city, but in a winding underwater cave.
These caves were dug by the Gill people when they were mining on the seabed. They are about two meters high and go all the way to the deeper seafloor. Moreover, the caves are dark and devoid of any light.
It looks like a monster lying on the sea bed, with its mouth open waiting for prey to come to you.
Therefore, when Xiang Nan traveled into the cave, he almost suffered from claustrophobia and deep sea phobia.
The Gill Man's eyes have been genetically modified to have the ability to see at night, so no matter how dark the cave is, the guide is not afraid at all and will not get lost at all.
But Xiang Nan needs to take out his magic wand and "fluorescently flash" to help him light the way forward.
After he entered it, he found that the mines inside were like a spider web, densely packed with many side roads.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had a guide to guide him, otherwise, he would definitely get lost.
After entering the depths of the mine, Xiang Nan saw some faint buildings in many mines.
The building is very simple, just a hut made of stone and sea mud. There is no furniture or decoration at all. It looks worse than a doghouse.
Xiang Nan didn't know if these were houses where the Ji people lived, and he didn't have the nerve to ask.
In addition to this kind of hut, there are also some mines that seem to contain a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs, shells, seaweed, etc. Xiang Nan guessed that these are probably the farms and pastures of the Gill people.
They raise fish, shrimps, crabs, shells, seaweed, etc. in the mines, just like humans grow food and raise pigs, cattle, and sheep.
The deeper you go, the more buildings there are and the caves get bigger and bigger. When we reached the deepest point, we saw a cave the size of a basketball court.
There is a very strange building in the cave. It's weird not because of its weird shape, but because of the weird materials it's made of.
"These are... mining machines made by Atlantis?" Xiang Nan immediately recognized them.
You can see that these machines are very huge, each one is like a Big Mac. The cutting head in front alone is the size of a car.
Once activated, you can imagine their power. Even the hardest rocks will be crushed by them. They are really called artifacts.
It’s just that these machines are now broken. After all, after thousands of years, even the most powerful machines cannot escape the fate of aging. What's more, the Gill people only know how to use them, but don't know how to repair them, so they can't even protect these machines.
"This should be considered machine worship, right?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
…Seeing Xiang Nan’s arrival, the King of the Jiren Kingdom led his citizens to greet him personally and welcomed Xiang Nan into the mechanical temple.
"Whoa, ah, ah~" the king of the Gill Man Kingdom said, still speaking in the Gill Man language.
Fortunately, before Xiang Nan came back, he learned the language of the gill people from the elders of the mermaid clan and knew that it was welcoming him.
The language of the Gill people is very simple, with only about a few hundred words, such as eat, drink, sleep, good, bad, etc., and there is only language, no writing.
After all, when they were first made, they were just miners responsible for driving mining machines to mine. They did not require much intelligence or deep language.
After thousands of years, the IQ and language of the Gill people have made little progress, and they are still stuck at the level of thousands of years ago.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan also said in the language of the Gill people, "I came today just to preach to you. Now the ocean is managed by the goddess Cory Busso, and you all live in the ocean, so she is your master. You need a God whom you believe in and whose will you do.”
The king of the Gill People Kingdom nodded, and then ordered people to summon the Gill People to this cave to listen to Xiang Nan teach the teachings of the Poseidon Cult.
I saw several Gill Men taking out large conch shells, putting them to their mouths, and started playing them. The sound of the conch horn quickly echoed in the cave, and a moment later, a large number of Gill people came to the cave.
Xiang Nan noticed that many of them came directly from their jobs because they didn’t have time to put down their working tools.
Some of these gill men were seen holding stone hammers and stone chisels, and some were carrying baskets woven from seaweed, and the baskets were filled with pieces of ore.
Xiang Nan was surprised when he took a quick look.
You can see that these ores are diverse, including gold ore, silver ore, copper ore, iron ore, as well as unprocessed gemstones and crystals, etc.
It seems that despite the destruction of Atlantis, the Gill Men continued their mining business. Even though the mining machinery has been scrapped, they still use stone hammers and stone chisels to continue mining ores. Thinking about it, they are really passionate.
…
Xiang Nan then preached the teachings of the sea goddess Kolibuso to the people.
In fact, he modified it based on other religious teachings. After all, although Cory Busso is a god, he has not passed down any teachings at all.
Fortunately, people don't know about it, but they listen to it with great interest.
After Xiang Nan finished preaching the "Ocean Goddess Sermon", he waved his magic wand.
In a moment, a stone statue of the goddess of the sea was added to this mechanically constructed building.
Seeing this miracle, people bowed down one after another and chanted the name of Kolibuso.
Then I saw the king of Jiren Kingdom giving an order, and everyone followed him and left.
After a while, they all came back, and none of them were empty-handed.
They devoutly held gold, silver, copper, gems, crystals, etc., and presented them to the statue of Kolibuso.
These gold, silver, copper blocks, gemstones, crystals, etc. have not been forged or carved.
Xiang Nan guessed that they only knew how to mine ores, but did not know how to smelt, forge and process them, so these ores were all original.
But that doesn't mean they aren't valuable.
In fact, the value of these naturally occurring gold, silver, and gemstones is even higher. For example, the value of nugget gold is much higher than the value of pure gold of the same weight.
People have been digging these gills in seabed mines for thousands of years, and Xiang Nan was dumbfounded by the richness of their accumulation. Just the gold nuggets the size of human heads cost hundreds of pieces. There are dozens of baskets of fist-sized pearls, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires...
"You are so rich." Xiang Nan couldn't help but admired when he saw this.
