In the deep and dark tunnel, the lantern in Rhodes' hand emitted a dazzling red light, which looked a little creepy.
Qi Ge and the others followed behind Rhodes and listened to his introduction:
“My Lord, further ahead is the extremely cold ice cellar, and the goblins’ ice sculptures are all inside.
If they can recover this time, the number of fairies in Rhodes Island will exceed 300,000.
With the grain production capacity of our Rhodes Island, if we don’t have your support, Lord, we will definitely have to divert some of it.
Of course, it doesn’t matter now. With your support, Lord, the fairies on Rhodes Island are almost forgetting the feeling of hunger.”
As Rhodes spoke, he extended the creepy red lantern forward, illuminating a pale door covered with thick icicles. There were also many drops of condensation on the walls around the door.
Qi Ge took a deep breath, and the bone-chilling coldness penetrated Qi Ge's heart.
As the extremely cold ice cave is fully opened, rows of fairy ice sculptures of various shapes are particularly eye-catching.
"Let them out. The goblins outside should be ready."
Qi Ge said calmly.
"Yes! Lord."
Rhodes placed his hand on the open door of the extremely cold ice cave, and complex magic runes began to light up on the door of the extremely cold ice cave.
Soon, visible waves of magic power came from the gate, and the 22,465 goblins in the ice cave were moved out of the ice cave one by one and teleported to the ground.
The fairies on Rhodes Island had already made preparations under the arrangement of the Seven Pigeons.
Rows of emerald green treatment tents were connected to each other, forming forty square formations in the center of Rhodes Island.
Each square formation is composed of 10 treatment tents facing each other on the left and right, with a total of 800 tents.
Looking down from the sky, the group of tents looks like a green meadow, which is out of place with the black, gray and brown and garbage-covered ground of Rhode Island.
Each tent can hold 30 goblins at the same time.
These fairies that were moved out of the extremely cold ice cave were quickly pulled onto carts and divided into various tents.
A bonfire had already been lit in the center of the tent, which could accelerate the melting of the ice sculptures.
After the ice sculpture melted, the three fairies immediately got busy.
A goblin feeds a nourishing soup made from cabbage king, pumpkin, potatoes, and healing herbs.
Another goblin smashed the universal antidote potion and poured it on the newly thawed goblin.
The last one poured a tube of healing potion to restore life.
Cure diseases, detoxify, and restore blood, one-stop service.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that it had been rigorously rehearsed.
Afterwards, the unsealed fairy will be taken to the open space next to it with a confused look on its face, and two other fairies will check its vital signs and whether it has any disabilities.
And his vacant position will be filled by other fairy ice sculptures.
For these frozen fairies, time is suspended after they enter the extremely cold ice cave.
In the last second they were still bidding farewell to other fairies, and in the next second they were surrounded by a group of fairies and being manipulated fiercely.
An apprentice goblin sat on the carpeted ground outside the tent, watching people coming into the tent and coming out alive like an assembly line, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh! My goblin god.
What did I see?
A goblin healing camp that's so effective? How long have I been frozen? Have we gotten to this point?"
"Not long. Less than thirty years."
The white-robed fairy who was examining him said with a smile:
"Grandpa Hope, do you still remember me? I'm Pickshow. You taught me how to sort garbage and extract crystal fragments before."
Fairy Hope looked carefully at the fairy in front of him, as if he were in another world:
"Oh my God! It's you. Pikxiu, you've grown so big?
The last time I taught you, you were still a little goblin, only this tall, not even up to my belly."
Hope shook his head and asked:
"Brother Rod? Is he still alive?
Where is our utopia? Have we found it? "
"Alive!"
Pikxiu smiled and showed his big white teeth:
“Grandpa Rod and we have now found a good lord, a very, very, very good lord.
I don’t know what utopia you are looking for, but we have found it, in the deepest part of the distant ocean, in the city where miracles descended.”
"ha?"
Hope was a little confused, but when he saw the expression of worship, admiration and pride on Pickshow's face, he smiled with relief:
"So, everyone is doing well? That's good, that's good. It doesn't matter what else, just be happy.
Haha, this shows that our deaths were not in vain."
Pickshow looked at Hope with emotion.
When they first arrived in Rhodes Island, it was Hope and other generations of fairies who, with a life-and-death attitude, experimented with many garbage disposal methods, which allowed the fairies on Rhodes Island to survive and multiply to this day.
At that time, the goblins had no tools, no experience, and no knowledge. They could only rely on the goblins to feel around and risk their lives to figure out what garbage could be used, what garbage was poisonous, and what garbage could cause disease.
Of the three generations of goblins that had followed Rhodes, not one survived, and countless others were killed or injured.
The entire Rhodes Island survived the most difficult initial period only thanks to the experience accumulated by three generations of fairies at the cost of their lives.
…
…
Hope looked at the busy goblins in front of him, most of whom he had never seen before.
But they all looked stronger, happier, and more energetic than the fairies they had seen in their day.
"Pikexiu, help me stand up for a moment. I want to take a closer look."
Pickshow didn't say much. He just sat next to Hope, put Hope's weak arm around his shoulders, and propped him up.
Hope couldn't help but sigh:
"This scene is really great. Fortunately, we didn't give up."
“Even if this world is dark and full of despair.
But as long as the fairies can still transcend hope and embrace dreams, a new future will emerge in the distance."
Hearing the voice behind him, Hope turned around and saw a tall and handsome figure walking towards him with a group of goblins.
Qi Ge walked up to Hope with a smile, squatted down, and stretched out a hand to Hope:
"I am Seven Dove, your lord and your partner. Greetings, Hope."
Hope looked behind Qi Ge and saw Rhodes, who was so excited that he could hardly control himself and was wiping his tears with his dirty robe.
"That's great, Hope. You're finally alive.
This is the Lord Qi Ge who saved you. He provided all the treatment tents and medicines."
Hope suddenly realized and quickly held Qi Ge's hand:
"My lord! Thank you for saving us. Apprentice Fairy Hope is at your service at any time!"
Qi Ge said with a smile:
"I've heard a lot about you from Rhode. Eighty percent of the garbage disposal tools on the Garbage Island were made by you.
In my opinion, Rhode Island is a well-deserved man-made wonder, and everything on this island is beyond common sense.
It is not easy to turn waste into treasure and transform decay into magic, and you, as the founder of Rhode Island, have made an indelible contribution.
There's no rush to be effective.
Now you need to have a good rest. When you recover, there are still many things waiting for you.
You will follow Rhode in the future. I will prepare enough experience bags and advanced resources. I will wait until you become a high-level fairy to unleash your full potential."
Qi Ge raised his head and watched the fairies being rescued and carried out of the tent one after another, and smiled with relief:
"This time, Rhodes Island is finally on the right track."
…
…
The rescue work lasted from noon to dusk.
When the sun god was about to set, all the more than 20,000 fairies on Rhodes Island were finally rescued.
All the fairies were gathered at the Fairy Church in Rhodes Island.
Under the gaze of countless goblin statues, Rhodes stood beside the Seven Pigeons and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes:
"Fairies! Today, we are here to welcome the resurrection of our companions with great excitement and joy.
Rhodes Island has come a long way from a dirty and filthy garbage island to where it is today. Everyone here, as well as those who have just been resurrected, have worked hard and made an indelible contribution.
From today on, our Rhodes Island will be reborn in a better posture under the leadership of the Lords of the Seven Doves.
Goblins, brothers, our good days are coming soon!
We used to be like countless other pieces of trash on Rhodes Island, things that the wizards didn't care about at all. They threw us away or killed us at will. It was extremely difficult for us to even survive, let alone have dignity.
But everything is about to change.
We goblins have welcomed the Lord of the Seven Pigeons.
The Lord of Seven Pigeons said that we, and our Rhodes Island, were trash discarded by Bracada because they had no vision.
The fairy clan is the pearl that he admires very much!
From now on, with the help of Lord Seven Pigeons, we will have enough food, drink and clothes to wear. If we are sick, there will be someone to treat us. If we are poisoned, there will be someone to detoxify us. Even if we are disabled, Lord Seven Pigeons can help us rebuild our bodies.
We no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold, no longer have to live in fear, and no longer have to be humble like dust.
We will become the official subjects of the Lord of Seven Pigeons and live the happy life we ​​have always dreamed of!"
"Oh!!! Long live Grandpa Rod (uncle, brother), long live the Lord!"
The goblins cheered and shouted like thunder, and many of them shed tears on the spot.
Qi Ge watched this scene with a smile. In his ears, a large number of system prompts indicating an increase in favorability kept ringing, like a beautiful piece of music.
When the cheers finally died down, Rhode said with a serious look:
"After we become the subjects of Lord Seven Pigeons, we will no longer have the pressure of survival, and we will no longer need to live just for the sake of living.
Perhaps you feel confused and at a loss as to what to do.
In fact, me too.
Before this, we have been trying our best to survive. Now that survival is no longer a problem for us, what should we live for? "
At this point, Rhode's voice suddenly became louder:
The answer is behind me!
During the growth of our Rhode Island, there are many brothers who have made great contributions but are unable to enjoy the fruits of their labor today.
They are on the stone wall behind me, and each statue represents a great sacrifice.
What was their sacrifice for?
Is it to make us live as humbly as we did before?
Is it to make us live in uncertainty forever?
Is it to make us as dirty and muddy as this Rhode Island garbage?
No! They are for us and our fairies to keep hope for the future, to keep hope for dignity and freedom!
From now on, we live for those fairies who cannot live!
From now on, we live so that no more goblins will have to repeat our fate in the future!
From today on, we, the fairies of Rhodes Island, will do our utmost to fight for the liberation of the fairies together with our Lord and countless brothers!"
"Sing the war song!"
…
"In the roaring sea, we sing the war song!"
"In the midst of the roaring thunder, we will not retreat!"
"On the road to destroying the tower, it was me who led the charge!"
"I am the one who is excited about the ideal of liberating the fairies!"
"It is I who was sacrificed, it is I who was glorified (You remember me, the goblins remember me.)"
"The goblins have ignited the flames of war and will no longer be oppressed!"
…
Led by Rhodes, the fairies of Rhodes Island sang the Fairy Epic. The singing of 300,000 fairies resonated, echoing in the Fairy Church, washing over Rhodes Island, rushing up into the sky, and circling in the night sky!
Qi Ge looked at the wall behind Rhodes. The goblin statues seemed to be smiling at him.
So, Qi Ge stood up and listened to the wonderful system prompts in his ears.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the mission [The Great Miracle of Rhodes Island]. ]
The Great Miracle of Rhode Island
Task requirements:

The soldier type [Rod] advances to level 1, level 6 miracle soldier type [Fairy Doctor].
You have obtained the mythical building [Fairy Utopia Construction Blueprint Fragment 9].
Amid the soul-stirring singing, Rhodes' body glowed with dazzling white light, and his dirty robe turned into a tattered white robe in the white light. His figure suddenly became much taller, and a pair of large round-framed glasses automatically appeared on his nose.
At this time, Rhodes' figure became a little hunched. He didn't look like a decent character, but rather like a villain scientist commonly seen in movies and animations.

Fairy Adventure: After entering the battle, summon a random creature (machine or puppet).
The levels of the creations range from 1 to 6, the ranks range from 4 to 9, the qualities range from hidden to mythical, and their number is equivalent to that of the Fairy Doctors.
After that, you can have a fairy adventure every two rounds.
Waste Utilization: When machines, puppets, or mechanical or puppet soldiers die on the battlefield, Dr. Fairy can recycle them and start a fairy adventure.
Technology Research and Development: Dr. Fairy can spend 3 turns to upgrade all the [Fairy Adventure] creations on the field.
After a successful upgrade, the creature will randomly gain a special skill, and after the upgrade, the creature's health will be restored to 100%.
I may be a genius: When there is a Goblin Adventure creature on the field, all damage, negative magic, and instant death effects suffered by Goblin Doctor will be borne by the creature.
Oh, that's really stupid: At any time, the Fairy Adventure creation has a 5% chance of exploding, and the explosion will cause a number of * 800 damage to all surrounding units (regardless of friend or foe)]
Seven Pigeons: ...
Qi Ge looked at Rhodes' panel with an incomprehensible expression on his face.
If we only look at Rhodes' panel attributes, he is undoubtedly a logistics soldier.
The panel for a level 1, stage 6 soldier is really too low .
But when combined with his special skills, Rhodes looks like a pure summoning type of soldier.
What surprised Qi Ge the most was that although Rhodes had no magic to use, he had 5 points of magic power and 40 points of knowledge.
Putting aside the 5 points of magic power, 40 knowledge points is even higher than that of Ke Ruoke who has the [Magical Genius] skill, but Ke Ruoke only has 30 knowledge points.
"With such high knowledge points, Rhode doesn't even have a spellcasting soldier in his special skills, nor does he have any means to consume magic points. It's really strange."
After thinking it over, Qi Ge could only conclude that it must be one of Rhodes' fairy adventure creations that required the use of magic points and magic power.
The white light dissipated, and Rhodes shook his robe, overjoyed:
“I have finally advanced. It has been a long time since I have tasted the feeling of advancement.
Now I feel that I am full of wisdom, and nothing in this world can stump me.
My Lord, I can't wait to start a great experiment."
Seeing Rhodes rubbing his hands and eager to try, Qi Ge thought of Rhodes' special skills, took a breath of cold air, and immediately said: "Be patient, be patient, now is not the time for you to do research.
Wait for me to get you a set of protective gear, and then you can do it secretly in a place where no one is around."
Rhode looked confused: "Why? I feel like I can do anything now. With Hope's help, maybe I can create a great miracle tonight."
Why? The goblins that were resurrected with great difficulty will be blown to death by you soon.
Qi Ge tried his best to persuade Rod finally.
Afterwards, the fairies on Rhodes Island held a grand banquet, at which they sang and danced and were extremely happy.
After the banquet, Qi Ge prepared a complete set of protective equipment for Rhodes and repeatedly told him to be careful when doing experiments.
Not only his own safety, but also the safety of the laboratory.
The next day, under the reluctant gazes of the fairies, Qi Ge, Ke Ruoke and Wolfs set sail and left Rhodes Island.
Qi Ge stood on the deck, listening to the song "Fairy Epic" from Rhodes Island, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He had a premonition that in the future, this magical island would become his immovable aircraft carrier for attacking the tower.
…
…
The City of Labyrinth is a Negan city, built by the legendary hero, Dais, who specializes in Minotaur.
[Labyrinth City] Known as the "Mnotaurs' Lair", it is located in a vast underground cave system, consisting of countless stone chambers and tunnels, forming an intricate maze.
[Maze City] is hidden under a barren hill. Only through a narrow and steep tunnel can you reach the underground portal at the end of the hill.
The sides of this tunnel are covered with statues of minotaurs, as well as some ancient symbols and patterns, which were built with the help of the minotaur-worshiping race.
In the center of the [Labyrinth City] stands an enormous bull-headed statue, which symbolizes the power and prestige of the Minotaur in this city.
The statue is surrounded by totem poles used for sacrifices and rituals. Only the white minotaur with pure white bodies can serve as priests and officials around the minotaur statue.
Unlike other cities, the Maze City does not have walls, or rather, the intricate underground passages of the Maze City are its best walls.
Deep in the maze city, there is a special crypt.
This dungeon is like the heart of the maze city, connecting 90% of the underground tunnels of the maze city.
A huge Tauren market has been built here, where all kinds of exotic goods can be found, including precious minerals, unique works of art, and finely crafted tools and weapons.
Most of these things are imported, because most of the Minotaur, the main ethnic group in the Labyrinth City, are not good at production.
The Tauren are warriors in their purest form.
As the fifth-level troop in the dungeon, Tauren has always been the main force in the dungeon combat sequence.
Among all the five-level soldiers of the nine major forces, the level 5, stage 1 Tauren has an extremely terrifying lethality of 22 to 30 points.
How terrifying is this lethality?
This is not the damage a level 5 soldier should have at all.
Among the level 6 soldiers, the damage of a level 1 scorpion lion is 24-30, and its upper limit is exactly the same as that of a tauren. The damage of a level 1 flying dragon is 24-28, and its upper limit is even lower than that of a tauren.
Not to mention the level 5 soldiers, there is no way they can compete with it.
The Minotaur's natural movement speed of 10 points has reached the upper limit of infantry in the first-level troops, second only to cavalry and four-legged creatures such as knights, black knights, and unicorns, and it is even faster than flying ghosts!
In most cases, if the Minotaur is allowed to attack its target with ease, they will become terrifying killing machines.
Players of the previous life's dungeon always liked to say one thing: I am the best in society, I am ruthless and don't talk much, I have a team of soldiers for one axe and another team of morale.
This is also true.
As an opponent of the Minotaur, it would be absolutely terrifying and frightening to see the Minotaur raise his axe and chop down the main force.
Unfortunately, although the Minotaur has such astonishing output capabilities, it also has a survivability that is inversely proportional to its output capabilities.
As pure melee infantry without spellcasting ability, they have only 60 maximum health points, ranking second to last among the nine major forces' level 5, stage 1 troops, second only to the evil gods, and even inferior to the spellcasting djinn.
But the evil god is a summoning type of soldier. It does not fight by itself, but relies on reviving the corpses of its companions to summon evil spirits to fight. It can completely hide in the back, which is completely different from the melee Minotaur that needs to charge into battle.
Among the level 5 soldiers, which are also known for their melee abilities, the Bison has 110 HP and the Eagle has 70 HP.
The bison has thick skin and flesh, so it is normal that the Minotaur cannot compete with it. However, it is too much that the Minotaur cannot compete with the eagle, a flying soldier that focuses on speed.
But there is no way, because the Minotaur’s output is too high.
Players in the previous life affectionately called the Tauren the [Glass Axe], which means the same as [Glass Cannon] and [Phantom Shooter].
It has terrifying output and extremely low health, which causes the Minotaur to have extremely high hatred in Chaos Judgment. Even the Black Dragon cannot snatch the Minotaur's hatred.
This also makes the Minotaur extremely difficult to use.
In the hands of a hero who uses it well, the Minotaur is a terrifying killing god on the battlefield, a super bulldozer, slashing away with sparks and lightning, leaving corpses everywhere it passes by.
In the hands of a hero who doesn't know how to use it, the Minotaur appears! The Minotaur is still dealing damage! Ah, the Minotaur is down (sad)!
Of course, these are evaluations of the Minotaur from the players' perspective.
In the eyes of NPCs in the world of Heroes and Soul, Minotaur is a very strange race.
They have extremely high output and great strength, but are known for their gentleness.
Except for a small number of evil minotaurs that specialize in eating meat, most minotaurs are vegetarians, with gentle and honest temperaments and are hardworking.
Even when being enslaved by the black dragons, the minotaurs were happy to serve the black dragons without any objection.
It is really interesting that they have the bodies of berserkers but choose the most humble lifestyle.
Since we mentioned the Minotaur, you have to mention a very famous custom of the Minotaur in the Yasha world - bride kidnapping.
In tribes or cities where Tauren gather in large numbers, all female Tauren are targets of competition for all male Tauren.
If a bull-headed man walks down the street and takes a fancy to a female bull-headed man carried by another bull-headed man, he can challenge the other bull-headed man to a duel.
But he needs to use an equal number of female minotaurs as stakes, and if there are no stakes, he needs to use himself instead.
The final winner will take all the heifers and even the losing bulls.
The losing bull needs to become a slave of the winning bull and work tirelessly for the winning minotaur - the scope of this job is extremely wide, to an outrageous degree.
Not to mention helping to pull carts and carry goods, repair houses and so on, even if the winning Tauren is out of strength, they still have to help push the butt.
If you see a Minotaur holding a heifer's hand with tears in his eyes, and the heifer is favored by another Minotaur, please don't make a strange expression or become a pure warrior. This is just the tradition of the Minotaur clan.
Let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. Good for the Minotaur Cult.
Of course, a Tauren's marriage is not permanent.
When a female headman gives birth to a minotaur for a bull-headed man and breastfeeds it until it is 2 years old, she can choose to leave and leave the minotaur to the bull-headed man to raise alone.
The Minotaur is not allowed to stop the attack by force, otherwise he will be attacked by other Minotaurs.
The amazing thing is that female minotaurs have estrus, so their pregnancy and birth times are often the same.
Therefore, at a fixed time every year, a large number of female minotaurs will become free cows and can choose their favorite male minotaurs.
A popular bull often has not just one cow, but a team of cows.
Oftentimes, teams will even swap with each other.
All the cows belonging to Bull A went to Bull B, and all the cows belonging to Bull B went to Bull A.
Therefore, this process is jokingly called the "Cow Transfer Period" by players.
Very interesting.
In the past, many players, after carefully studying the social structure of the Tauren, sighed: "It is a great regret that I cannot be born as a Tauren."
There are also some pure love warriors who were shocked beyond words and felt that their worldview had collapsed.
Qi Ge and Wulfs strolled through the tunnels of the Labyrinth City, passing by countless minotaurs.
They all wore hoods, hiding their faces.
Wolfs is a mage from Bracada, who is naturally unwelcome in the city of mazes.
He can participate in this activity, but he cannot show his face or publicly reveal his identity, otherwise it will easily be seen as a provocative act.
Just like an ordinary person walking on the streets of our country in an ordinary military uniform, he can only walk out of the street alive if there is no one on the street.
Qi Ge wore a hood purely for his own safety.
Countless facts in the previous life have proved that the Tauren are not very clear about the gender distinctions between races such as elves, humans, and half-elves.
In the eyes of most tauren, male half-elves and female half-elves look similar and are both good-looking.
Qi Ge knew very well that if he took off his hood and walked on the street with his face exposed, he would have to deal with the courtship of countless bull-headed men along the way, which would be too troublesome.
It would be funny if he happened to be like those players who posted in his previous life and encountered a Tauren who didn't care about his diet and got punched by him accidentally.
Wolfs pointed to a door made of fine steel and said to Qi Ge:
“My Lord, my uncle’s house is just ahead.
The last time I contacted them was three years ago, when I asked them to borrow gold coins to buy a boat to go out to sea. "
He asked cautiously:
"My Lord, shall I knock on the door?"
"Go ahead."
Qi Ge nodded.
"Okay!"
Wolfs puffed out his chest and pounded hard on the iron door, making loud bangs.
“Crunch~~”
With a series of teeth-grinding noises, the door was opened, and a minotaur poked his head out and asked unhappily:
"This is the house of the hero Florida Alama. What do you do?"
"I am Wolfs, nephew of Florida. Please inform him that I am here to repay the debt I borrowed last time."
"The master's nephew?"
The Minotaur glanced at Wolfs and said:
"Pull your hood down so I can see."
Wolfs pulled down his hood, showed him a look, then immediately pulled it back up.
The Minotaur suddenly realized and his tone softened:
“Oh!! I remember you, you were here three years ago.
Then come in and sit down first. The master has gone out to buy some materials and will be back soon."
"My Lord?"
Wolfs looked towards the seven pigeons.
When he saw Qi Ge nodded, he immediately said:
"Okay, let's go in and wait."
The Minotaur opened the iron gate, and Qi Ge followed Wolfs and walked in slowly.
At this moment, the Minotaur guard looked at Qi Ge's back and felt a strange sense of danger in his heart.
"Wait a minute, you haven't told me who you are yet?"
He couldn't help but reach out his hand and wanted to hold Qi Ge's shoulder.
Just as he stretched out his hand, an extremely sharp shadow sword suddenly emerged from Qi Ge's body and stabbed the Minotaur guard.
"Mavie! Don't."
Qi Ge let out a quick roar, and the shadow sword stopped in front of the throat of the Minotaur guard. There was a faint mark of blood on his throat.
The Minotaur guard looked at his battle axe that had blocked the attack in time but was still broken in half by the sword. He snorted several times and finally sat down on the ground with his eyes wide open, shouting in horror:
"God, myth..."
