In the starry night when the sunlight gradually disappeared, the simple iron train, which Duan Qing and others called the Orient Express, began to move slowly again amidst the increasingly strong whistling sound, but this time it was filled with magical buzzing and excitement.
departure, but at this time it was full of uncertainty and instability - first the rear side of the carriage swayed, and then the mast standing above showed signs of overturning, and the voices from all the players inside the carriage
The voices also expressed their own exclamations as the journey was about to start with difficulty: "Go to the left, go a little further to the left - oh, oh, oh, no, no, it's too far left!"
"
"Don't make any noise. This thing is difficult to control. You don't need to worry about me. Just control the thing above your head!"
"You think this thing on top of your head is easy to control? That thing relies not on your fancy magic, but on our brute force!"
"Why don't I rely on brute force? The transmission devices should be running well, but why, why -"
"It's going to be so hard to turn!"
A loud roar echoed in front and back of the sea along with Duan Qing's last shout, and finally disappeared in the blink of countless stars with the sudden stumble of the car that was moving hard forward, and was suddenly
The other players who appeared appeared to flash around in the carriage and fell to the ground under the strongest shock. The next moment, their screams were covered by Duan Qing's proud laughter: "
Hahahaha! It’s done! I’m really a genius at modification!”
"This is the third time you have made the same declaration today. I believe you again. I am a fool." Asahi Dongsheng, who was the first to get up, clenched his fists and shouted: "Earlier, we were tricked by pushing the car for a long time, and then we were fooled.
You almost pushed us back from the bridge, you - Huh?"
"This, this is?"
The surrounding scenery began to retreat slowly and orderly as the bridge deck moved under the night. The expression on the face of the giant ax warrior who came forward gradually became surprised: "This is... a steering wheel?"
"That's right! I connected the two wind magic arrays placed in front to this connecting rod!" Duan Qing's eyes kept staring forward, and Duan Qing's laughter never stopped in everyone's ears: "There is no track
Determine the direction for us, then it’s up to us to determine the direction ourselves! Those two metal discs are alchemical works that I condensed with my last efforts! There won’t be any more squeezed out!”
"So after a long circle, we finally became drivers again."
Instead of getting up like the others, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage, pressed her white hair helplessly: "Fortunately, the accelerator has not been designed yet, otherwise I am afraid it will really be hopeless this time.
"
"Because the current design is not yet fully mature." Ning Lan, who was standing aside, replied with a smile: "The magic power furnace can only keep running at a very low state to prevent it from shutting down in time when problems may arise -
—This is what the gentleman said himself not long ago."
"Fortunately, that guy didn't connect the thing in front to the furnace." Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes still hadn't recovered from the helpless state: "Otherwise, I might have become the target of the group of men vying for it."
"You can try it out anytime, but you only have one life." In the scene of collisions where the echoes of constant shaking and collision echoed one after another, Duan Qing's voice then appeared in front of the two of them: "Although I like modification and
Experiment, but to ensure safety, it is better to ensure safety first. Even if it fails, the worst result is just stagnation... Hey! Everything has been given to you, what else do you want? Really."
"In order to prevent problems with the device, I deliberately designed the transmission connection into a purely physical version." He argued with Asahi Dongsheng in front of him for a while, and finally dismissed those guys who were still waiting to ask questions aside: "Then
The connection between several metal poles does not use any magic technology, so it will not be affected by the sea breeze."
"...I didn't expect you to have such a talent." Looking at the iron carriage slowly swaying forward due to the slow power, Xueling Huanbing couldn't help but sighed again: "Even if you have adapted to magic and alchemy,
Even if you are a master of learning, it is not easy to complete such a creation."
"This is just a direction controller made in the simplest way. It is far worse than a real vehicle." Duan Qing raised his thumb proudly, and the proud smile on Duan Qing's face also changed.
It's getting more and more brilliant: "After all, we are not masters of mechanics. It is simply not realistic enough to recreate a real old-fashioned mechanical car..."
"Hey, Ninglan thought that Sir was imitating the designs of those chariots in the 'Mechanical World'." Ninglan, who was standing aside, tilted her head and looked at Duan Qing's face: "Ninglan still remembers Sir
I once assembled a chariot using parts and scrap metal I found in that ruined battlefield, and later used it to defeat many enemies...ah."
The awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment between several people, and then was broken by a few dry laughs from Duan Qing. He waved his hands in denial for a long time before lowering his head dejectedly, as if he didn't know what to do.
What kind of expressions did they face when facing the knowing smiles of the two women in front of them: "Well, I have really been obsessed with magic recently, which has led me to always want to use this world's methods to solve problems..."
"Anyway, this isn't the first time you've been passive at work." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who put away the smile on her face and felt the shaking of the car, then became much more serious: "But according to the situation in front of us, our
Progress is still going to be very slow, right?”
"After all, it relies on pure machinery, without any magic as a guarantee or protection." Duan Qing covered his face with one hand and nodded his head calmly: "Just as Lorna was worried before, once any accident occurs,
This thing doesn’t have any defensive braking measures, so just drive as slowly as you can.”
"It's late at night, you'd better all go and have a rest." His eyes shifted to the night scene that was shaking and receding outside the window. The gray-robed magician then blinked and patted Xue Ling Huan Bing's shoulder: "
After the people in front have had enough fun—"
"I will do another experiment and complete the induction guidance device first."
***************************
The so-called induction guidance device in Duan Qing's mouth was actually an idea he came up with temporarily during this period. He was worried about Fula's words and had already laid a solid case against him in his mind.
But the surrounding environment has kept me from taking action - the real reason that caused the train to lose its forward stability was the magic circuits that once existed under the bridge deck of the Miracle Bridge but were finally completely severed.
As long as these loops can be restored or loop replacements can be found, the problem of trains being unable to steer will naturally be solved.
In Duan Qing's eyes, it is not too difficult to temporarily make these things that can be regarded as "magic rails". However, due to the erosion of the sea wind, laying any form of magic rails seems to be a problem.
A task that simply cannot be accomplished.
"The rebuilt magic circuit will not disappear completely. After all, the erosion of the sea breeze and the destruction of the elements also take time."
In the scene where the Qingling Adventure Group were offline to rest, a gray-robed figure named Linyuan Duanshui also got under the car that was parked by the bridge: "But after all, even this thousand-year bridge cannot resist it.
Elemental erosion makes it impossible to even think about producing a high-quality track in a short period of time.”
"Anyway, you can't really lay any railways." Sitting on the top of the carriage, there was no sign of movement. Fulla, who was looking down, answered with the same calm and indifferent voice as before: "Besides these elemental storms,
Come on, I'm afraid you mortals can't last ten minutes at all."
"Don't worry, we won't say such unscrupulous words as asking you to go and lay the railway." The line of sight was still blocked by the chassis of the car on both sides, and the voice of Duan Qing who was hiding under the car was also unclear.
It became much duller: "We also understand your current physical condition. It is better to let you rest."
"..."
"Or is there any good way to continue treating your injuries?"
As if feeling the strange atmosphere mixed with the silence above, Duan Qing's movements while repairing something also paused for a moment: "Or you can also find a way to go back first. With the physical fitness of the dragon clan, you want to return to freedom safely.
The city shouldn’t be too difficult—”
"You want me to walk back to that city?" Before Duan Qing could finish his sentence, the cold voice from above sounded a bit sneer: "I have already walked so far... you are deliberately making things difficult.
Can’t I?”
"I have absolutely no intention of this." Duan Qing's voice continued to sound as he started to take action again: "But you should have fully understood the conditions here during this period. If it is affected by our persistence,
Your health and treatment progress are really worth the loss."
"If Broken Dragon's injury could be easily healed, it would not become an eternal curse that has haunted the dragon clan's fate for thousands of years." The voice of denial came from above Duan Qing, and Fula's voice followed with a hint of denial.
A bit of disgust and hatred: "This cannot be solved with some simple method or simple medicine, and you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"I'm curious about some of your actions."
The deep night brought an indescribable silence to the surface of this peaceful bridge. For a while, only the gentle sea breeze and the roaring sounds brought by the surging waves still kept ringing, with two figures standing one above the other.
Around her, the slender golden figure sitting on the carriage seemed to sense the emotions contained in the atmosphere. She brushed away her long golden hair and then averted her eyes to the golden figure.
Under the knees wrapped in robes: "In other words... I am very curious about the purpose you still have at this time."
"Speaking of which, your companion this time was also the result of coincidence." Understanding what the other party wanted to ask, Duan Qing's voice sounded from under the car again: "There are some things that I haven't explained to you yet.
This is really our mistake...well, where should we start?"
"I already know the secret about this bridge and the other end it is connected to - what you are pursuing." Fula, who had regained her composure, interrupted Duan Qing: "I should also tell you about myself.
Everything you know."
"Okay, then I'll start with the second purpose." Duan Qing, who seemed to have just completed a repair task, and his tone suddenly became relaxed, replied in a low voice: "We are here to find someone."
"Find someone?"
"You should know him too."
The sound of knocking came from under the car, and the sound of metal collision slightly obscured Duan Qing's answer: "The magician named Violet is also one of the important members of our adventure group."
"...I don't seem to have any impression." She shook her head, and after a period of silence, Fulla's eyes slowly raised to the air: "Is he a very powerful magician?"
"It doesn't matter whether she is strong or weak. Since she is a companion, we will naturally try our best to get her back." The sound of banging metal also paused for a moment: "Based on the clues Gardevoir provided before, we learned that she is currently located here.
There was news in the bridge space, so we hurried in."
"The words and deeds of that human woman are not trustworthy." She said such words inexplicably, and Fulla's voice became as cold as the sea breeze again: "Now that I think about it, she guided me to this bridge. There must be some kind of only
Reasons that only those who play with fate would believe."
"Judging from the results, I am very grateful to her for sending you to us." The sound of crawling was heard from below, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing then appeared on the ground where Fulla's swinging feet were vaguely pointing: "
As for the clues... Anyway, we didn't find this place for this reason. Before entering this bridge, I also felt Violet's aura."
"She should be on this bridge."
He patted his body and stood up with a tired but relaxed look: "I don't know enough about the rules of the void, and I can't determine her exact location at the moment. Maybe when we find the end point you described,
Lighthouse, we'll have all the answers...thank you."
He waved his hand, signaling the blond figure above to remove the space barrier that was maintained around him, and then rushed back to the carriage in three steps before the sea breeze was about to come in:
"The energy connection is sufficient and the spray gun is ready."
"I promise, this is definitely the last experiment."
