v2 Chapter 16: The history of floating city

"Spectacular, right? Unfortunately, there are still many unresolved problems in this 'city', and it can't really lift off at present..." Because Gehrman is Abner's friend, Jane said a few more words, and continued, "Precisely because it is now just a 'fake thing', it has been mocked by some visitors as 'Klaus' idiot'...

"But they signed a contract again, they can't tell what they saw here, they can only evaluate indirectly, so after passing it on, the master has the very indecent title of 'Nas' idiot'...

"Fortunately, Master Claus doesn't care."

Jane introduced Klein and led Klein into the head of a steam train. Next, the locked whistle sounded, and the head of the train slowly started, getting faster and faster, and circled up along the hypothetical track, heading towards The top platform of "Inverted Mountain" drove away.

When the train climbed to a certain height, Klein looked at the surrounding environment through the window while switching the "creeping hunger" to the soul of the "Wind Blessed One", preparing for self-rescue in the event of an accident.

It turns out that this is a huge underground space, and the "floating city" as huge as a mountain only occupies less than one-third of the volume of this space. Countless brackets extend from six directions, front, back, left, right, up, and down, fixing the handstand. The mountain did not let it roll over.

"The space is very square, it doesn't seem to be formed naturally... But digging such a large underground space in the Gargas Archipelago is definitely not something that an 'alchemist' can complete...

"Even if he is willing to take the time to dig slowly, the Church of God of War is not blind, and it is impossible to hide such a big movement from the other party.

"Not to mention the body of the floating city, the huge upside-down mountain... It is even more difficult to intercept such a mountain and transport it here!

"Maybe it can be done with the help of an angel level powerhouse or a '0' level sealed artifact."

When Klein was lost in thought, the train also began to slow down and finally stopped at the platform at the top of the mountain.

"Welcome to the 'Klaus' train and wish you a pleasant journey..."

Hearing the "phonics" playing in the front of the car, Klein was somewhat in a trance, and had a guess in his heart:

This underground space is inseparable from Liu Bo or Huang Tao!

With such a judgment, Klein and Jane came all the way to the central tower and rang the doorbell of a laboratory on the first floor.

After a while, the door with a sense of technology rose automatically, and an alchemy doll with a delicate face and the appearance of a little blond girl appeared in front of the two of them.

"The master said that the deodorization work will take three minutes, please wait a moment." The doll said in a stiff tone.

"Deodorant?" Klein didn't react for a while.

"The master knows that his hobby may not be tolerated by others, so every time he receives guests, he thoroughly cleans the environment and himself... This is also a respect for us." Jane explained next to him.

So it turns out... It seems that this master is not the inherent image of the scientific madman I imagined... After Klein self-examined, he handed the box of "canned wolf fish" to the puppet, and placed it in it. Under the arrangement, he entered the living room on the other side of the laboratory, and waited while tasting the tea prepared by the other party.

Soon, a young man with black hair and black eyes who looked less than thirty years old, accompanied by another blond little girl puppet, pushed the door and walked in.

Is this Master Claus? so young? No, Mr. "Tower" told me privately, "Alchemist" likes to create a body for himself, remote control... And this is the case with the Steam Church Archbishop Horamick I met before.

As his thoughts turned, Klein and Jane stood up together, one pressed his chest and bowed, the other raised his skirt and bent his knees, and each gave a salute.

"Miss Jane...and this gentleman, don't be so polite." Klaus exchanged a few words first, and then asked Jane after they took their seats, "You brought this gentleman here directly, I think he is worth it. Trust, and demand is not simple.”

In fact, if it is the sale of general crafting items, Jane the "broker" will not bring the client to this space at all, but to a villa outside the city of Nas, where there is one of Mr. Claus's The mechanical clone is enough to handle most of the "artisan" business.

But since Gehrman was Abner's friend and a person he could trust, he was brought directly to the "Floating City" by Jane.

But she didn't really ask Gehrman what he wanted to build... This made Jane a little embarrassed when she suddenly remembered it.

Fortunately, at this time, Klein took out the token that Roy King gave him, that is, the round ornament made of golden gears and covered with transparent glass.

When Master Claus saw this thing, his expression became serious, and he asked, "This is my letter gift to Roy King... What happened to him?"

"He was caught before, and I rescued him." Klein briefly explained the origin of this accessory.

"That's it... No wonder Miss Jane will bring you directly to me..." Klaus looked stunned, not noticing Jane, who was bewildered, and continued, "Well, I made a promise, Holding this accessory can make a request to me...so, what do you want me to do?"

Klein thought for a while and let Klaus and Jane wait for a while. After inquiring about the location of the bathroom, he refused the guidance of the little blond girl doll and entered it by himself with a box.

Neither Klaus nor Jane were surprised by this.

There are not a lot of similar situations, which often means that there are certain items that cannot be known to outsiders together with the materials he prepared, so it is impossible for Gehrman Sparrow to open the suitcase in person, Take it out on the spot.

A crazy adventurer always has some secrets!

A few minutes later, Klein returned to the living room. He first opened a metal box to reveal a black viscous colloid that exuded a "degenerate" aura, and then took off the "Wriggling Hunger" on his palm and put it on the coffee table. Then he said:

"I would like to ask you to upgrade my gloves with this feature."

Upon seeing this, Klaus did not answer immediately, but used his ability to observe these two items for a while before saying thoughtfully:

"It's not difficult to enhance the glove's abilities with the 'Black Knight' trait...

"But if you want to keep the 'seal' of angel-level power on the gloves, it's more troublesome..."

As expected of an "alchemist", he can see Mr. Azik's methods! Klein nodded slightly, which was actually one of the reasons why he dared to trade with a strange demigod.

Of course, what was more important was that he had performed a divination above the gray fog before he came, and knew that there was no danger.

After thinking about it for a while, Master Claus said, "It will take me a day to complete this request of yours... At this time tomorrow, you will come over to get the finished product...

"During this time, you can stay in the Sky City, and I can have a puppet show you around...

"Of course, you can also choose to return to Nas, and ask Miss Jane to bring you over tomorrow night."

Klein hesitated for a while, and made another request to go to the bathroom. After returning, he accepted Mr. Claus's suggestion and stayed in the floating city for a day.

After that, Master Claus entered the working state. Klein wanted to ask if he could observe, but Jane pulled him away directly.

"When the master is working, the brain needs stimulation to get inspiration... So I like stimulating food..." After walking out of the laboratory, Jian Yi pointed out.

Klein immediately understood, and said to himself: It turns out that the canned wolf fish is for inspiration... But can the brain really not be closed due to that smell?

After complaining a few words in his heart, Klein followed the blond girl puppet to the guest room prepared for him in the tower.

During this period, with Jane's reminder, Klein knew that the blond puppet in front of him was authorized to answer many questions, so he asked tentatively as he walked:

"How did Master Claus come up with the idea of ​​building a floating city?"

When asked, the little blond girl doll did not pause, and replied directly: "A hundred years ago, when the owner was very young, he once entered the illusory and dangerous ocean exploration in the easternmost part of the Sunya Sea.

"In the dream of the night there, the owner witnessed a complete and flying 'floating city'. When entering it to explore, he found the structure of the floating city, and got a knowledgeable mysterious person on the top of the tower. people teach...

"After that, the master changed his name to Klaus, and was committed to making the floating city reappear!"

I followed Abner's suggestion and used Qianzhi Crane to contact Backlund's "Mercury Snake", knowing that the dark night in that sea area will connect the dreams of all living beings, creating many extremely dangerous places .

"The Serpent of Mercury" Will even said that there are some dreams left by some gods there... Exploring is a very dangerous thing.

So... Whose dream is a complete floating city? More than a hundred years ago... "Seal of Disaster"? Why did it deliberately keep such a dream in the dark night of that sea area?

Forget it, this is something that Mr. "Ta" should worry about. I will give him some hints back and ask him to come here to have a look... Anyway, as an "agent", Miss Jane is unlikely to reject Abner.

Thinking of this, Klein asked again how this space was dug up, and the answer he got was:

"A demigod of the 'Mysterious Man' pathway used 'Mysterious Reappearance' to tell the story of a stupid old man who moved away from the mountain...and got this space."

"Mysterious Reappearance"... I heard Abner introduce it, it is one of the core abilities of the demigods of the "Mysterious Man" path, but he didn't say the principle, and I don't know why he draws power from the story...

This story should be "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain", right?

When he was thinking about it, several people came to the center of the tower. There was a very high altar, but the top of the altar seemed to be missing a piece, forming a groove.

Klein looked at the shape of the groove very familiarly, but couldn't remember what it was. It was not until he followed the doll to the guest room and told Jane about Abner's recent situation that he had sent him away. Blocking the room with spirituality, then taking four steps backwards, entering the ancient palace above the gray fog, and seeing the source of the familiarity with the help of "Dream Divination":

"The shape of the groove is exactly the same as the "Gear Book" found by the Sun for the Tower!"

...

Backlund~lightnovelpub.net~In the villa at 28 Kingster Street.

Abner is holding a celebration banquet with Hugh, Fors, Harula, Benson, Melissa and other friends who have contributed to the film and television company.

Suddenly, a thick gray fog appeared in front of his eyes.

After a while, the fog disappeared, but Abner pondered in his heart after eating a mouthful of steak:

"Klein suggested that I go to Nath and ask Jane to take me to see a 'Master Alchemist'?

"Also, you also asked me what the mysterious reproduction effect of 'The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain' is?

"Well, if 'Yugong' really existed in the history of this world, would he also be a Beyonder of the 'Fool' pathway?

"If the hypothesis is true, then 'Moving Mountain'...should be a 'miracle'!

"So, if this 'mysterious reappearance' comes from the hands of an angel-level 'secret peeping' path Extraordinary, the effect should be similar to a 'miracle'!"
