The yellow sand representing the wasteland is wrapped above the metal ridge that Duan Qing and others have just climbed, dyeing the sky that seems to be connected to the endless yellow flat land in the distance with the same dark yellow, and has landed on
Duan Qing here knows that it is the effect of an invisible layer of energy wrapping around the top of the head and isolating the yellow sand all over the Iron Mountain from the outside world - the strong wind that is still constantly surging outward is causing them
The invisible tops of their heads were flying outwards, and the rolling sand and the wind knives that were cutting gold and jade were constantly passing by the outside of the giant peak where they were. The strong wind that could extend its power for many miles was just like this in the distance.
Not far above their heads, everything but the earth was wrapped around the mountain where Duan Qing and the others were: "This is -"
"Elemental Barrier."
Pointing at the double-forked lampstand surrounded by the abandoned steel jungle that appeared below the slope on the other side of the ridge and the invisible energy ripples flashing between the double forks, Puli VI still carried a sizzling electric current with his
The synthesized voice replied calmly: "A force field generator used to isolate the furnace from the outside world and isolate the energy effects produced by all elements."
"If it weren't for the existence of this thing, we would have been cut into pieces of dust by the wind outside." Then Duan Qing smiled dryly and pressed his forehead: "The defense methods of your sacred mountain-your furnace are really transcendent.
Woolen cloth."
"No, this was not the original purpose of this device." The voice belonging to King Puli VI composed this answer: "It is only used as such a device now to protect the people who once lived here.
Those fragile life forms.”
"Well, I seem to have a lot of questions to ask." Looking back at the direction of the mountain, Duan Qing curled his lips and showed his patience again: "Were there many humans living here in the past?"
"It's not just humans, there are many other life forms." After repeating the word "life form", half of the body of Puli VI also floated around with a sizzling sound: "Yes, there were once
A lot of people live here.”
"Then now——"
"The death time of the last living body was December 10, 2191, Old Rhodes."
Duan Qing was told a period of time that was quite familiar and shocking. There seemed to be an inexplicable light flashing between the crackling projection eyes of the mechanical body: "Since then, only our mechanical body has been left in the entire Wind Furnace.
We personally guard each other's responsibilities to this day."
"The Rhodes...is it the reign name of the Roderick Dynasty?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who seemed to have understood the meaning of the word and lowered his head in thought, held his chin and muttered to himself: "Although I don't know what happened in the middle
, but the Roderick dynasty should not have lived for more than 2,000 years..."
"Of course the Roderic dynasty did not last that long. They were declared destroyed 2764 years ago."
Still telling secrets in a mechanical tone that would shock players throughout the free world, King Puli VI continued to answer in a low voice: "But this is only a record preserved by our furnace guards, so it may be related to
The records you are currently keeping do not match, and we recommend that you update this."
"Thank you." He replied with a heavy voice. Duan Qing, who followed up again, then set his sights on the small lampstand below the ridge again: "How many such devices are there here?"
"A lot, enough to cover the entire range of the furnace." It began to float down along the ridge, and Puli VI continued to act as the leader: "The number of the wall generator is MH2119. It is after crossing the MG area division line.
The first one to enter the MH area is also the one closest to our location."
"What brought us here?"
"As I said before: I want to send you safely away from this place."
The huge crushing sound once again came from the depths of the mountain, which was like the land of Nine Netherworlds, but it did not stop Duan Qing and the others from following the downward movement of the mechanical body. The wind blowing above their heads also carried them with them.
Together with the metal scraps of the wasteland, the words of King Puli VI's reply fell to the bottom of the rolling slope: "Because of the existence of the elemental isolation energy field, normal energy transmission methods cannot be effective both inside and outside this place.
Yes, in order to solve this problem, we have set up other pathways underground."
"Before the invaders from above came here, these passages had not been used for 574 years." The mechanical voice paused at this point: "The troubleshooting work has been at a standstill until all other life forms died.
status, so we have not found out the exact cause of the fault, but now that the fault has been fixed, we can temporarily suspend the record data of the cause."
"This is really...unexpected." After sighing and saying this, Duan Qing, who was following the other party, also cast his Zhanran eyes on the approaching lampstand: "Let me guess.
Guess - are these devices connected to the earth's veins throughout the Wind Continent?"
"Yes." There was still no intention to hide anything in the tone of Puli VI's answer: "The element isolation generator requires a large amount of energy as support. The largest area Z area that has lost energy support has now been temporarily stopped.
Operation."
"We seem to be approaching the methods and secrets that allow us to move around at will in the Wind Continent."
Pointing to the fork-shaped lampstand shining with invisible energy fluctuations, Duan Qing quietly said to Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was following closely behind him: "It sounds like they developed the teleportation function of this thing - ha, what a skill."
nice."
"Whether this function was developed by them or not, since no one else here will use these energy fields to enter and exit, then only they can use it." The eyes of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was shaking his head, gradually exuded a glimmer of light:
"And now, maybe we can use it too."
"Regardless of whether this thing can be teleported thousands of miles along the earth's veins, if they can teleport to each other -"
"Aren't you going to leave here, humans?"
Seemingly hearing the whispered conversation between the two people, King Puli VI in front stopped leading him: "This is inconsistent with your previous commitment. According to Agreement No. 13——"
"No, no, no, no, don't rush to judgment yet."
Duan Qing, who was already familiar with the method of dealing with the logic of this kind of mechanical body, hurriedly waved his hand forward and stopped him with urgent words: "We have never promised before that we want to leave here, and we still have many separated teammates here.
There are other corners of the mountain, how can we do it without bringing them together?"
"About your teammates, other guards have also sent me corresponding information." Puli VI, who was "watching" Duan Qing with a monocular lens, replied calmly: "Some furnace guards are still confirming their
Due to their identities, Karen V and Ingilram VIII even came into conflict with the human life forms they came into contact with."
"Oh, so they are still not experienced enough." Duan Qing, who was pressing his forehead, also put on a sincere look: "I apologize for my companions, but please don't hurt them, they
There was absolutely no malice intended.”
"The existing data and records of the Furnace Guards are enough to prove the chaos and instability of your human life forms." King Puli VI replied: "At present, your performance has not exceeded the tolerance range retained in the records and agreements, so
No casualties have appeared yet, but—"
"Your appearance has broken the order from Area M to Area N." The mechanical guard gestured to the elemental isolation generator behind him with his broken body: "The best choice is to leave here."
"We can make up for it." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who took a step forward and crossed Duan Qing's shoulder, stroking his chest with one hand, replied solemnly: "For example - we can help you deal with the intruders above.
"
"This is not within the scope of your responsibilities." The square mechanical head showed denial, but the tone shown by King Puli VI was still calm and affirmative: "And your power is too weak."
"Just think of it as us repaying your help." Duan Qing, who also pressed his chest and made a salute, replied with a smile: "As for our strength..."
"Please believe that we are the most suitable people to deal with them."
*****************************************
"I have never seen such stubborn iron lumps! No matter what I say, it doesn't make sense! I told them that we are not in the same group as the adventurers above, but they just don't believe it!"
"Who made you want to take action as soon as you came up? You have to treat those robots as monsters to fight, and it would be weird not to make them hostile!"
"We haven't encountered the situation you mentioned here, but we haven't made any progress. Those robots seem to abide by some strange rules internally. Without their trust, or certification, there is no way to ask questions.
Any news."
"During this period of time, the only one between us who has successfully obtained a large amount of information is——"
Having returned to the floating island, the figures belonging to the first group of expedition members into the mountain also gathered in the central control room above the tower, attracting the attention of countless people. At this time, Duan Qing also followed.
The exchange of information among everyone became the center of attention, and the scratching of the head seemed a bit unnatural: "Only our group has had contact and communication with the mechanical creations of the Wind Continent.
Progress here is inevitable."
"Then based on the news you brought back and the results of the negotiations, we now have an opportunity to directly attack the opponent's base camp." Holding his hands in his hands with a serious look on his face, Goldman asked in a low voice: "
Have you learned how to use that device?"
"No, not yet." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Puli VI has not even agreed to our request. It may still need to have the same communication and negotiation with other mechanical guard individuals, although I don't know
Do they have the same intelligence integration capabilities and group decision-making capabilities as us..."
"Let's treat them as such existence for now, otherwise our negotiations will not be able to start." The person who said this was leaning on the corner of the room and twisting his long hair: "Although there is no exchange to this end.
Important information to use, but at least we have a way to open the situation, and the efforts of this surprise investigation were not completely in vain."
"...Isn't there any action over there so far? What kind of alliance is that?" His fingers jumped back and forth between the folded arms, and Jian Beidong's lazy voice also sounded leisurely above the room where everyone gathered.
: "We've already hit them at their feet."
"I think they are completely afraid! Afraid of our strength!" Asahi Dongsheng, who twisted his arms, then made a posture that showed his strength: "And our floating island!"
"Compared to other people's entire sacred mountain, our little floating island is simply unsightly." Duan Qing, who curled his lips, then pointed to the left and right here: "We can't even find a way to land on it.
No method has been found."
"It's still the same sentence from the beginning: Since we can't find a suitable place, it's better not to land." Xueling Huanbing concluded in a serious voice: "Everything in the sacred mountain is too dangerous for us, and a forced landing will only
It will make us fall into a quagmire that is even more difficult to break out of. Those members of the huge organization lurking somewhere in this mountain may have been waiting for us to land and then give us a fatal blow."
"It's impossible not to land. At least we have to hide within the range of the isolation force field."
Sighing and shaking his head, Duan Qing began to make gestures with his fingers in front of everyone: "There are only ten minutes left before the one and a half hour deadline. The floating island cannot bear the scale and degree of zero-distance wind."
Pressure blast, now that Violet and Fulla have exhausted all their strength, no one can help us withstand the third round of impact."
"But it's impossible to break through the isolation force field for teleportation, right?" Ciyu Ninglan, who was standing in another corner of the room, tilted her head with her fingers: "According to the Puli Liu that Mr.
According to Shi’s introduction, doesn’t the elemental isolation energy field isolate all energy flows? How can the transmission of magic break through?”
"When we didn't know about this before, didn't we use Violet's teleportation magic to successfully land on the mountain?" Duan Qing shook his head indifferently: "Next, I will go find my cheap mentor.
, ask her if there is any other way."
"We must land before the next energy explosion from the sacred mountain."
Keeping his head down to compare the system time, the gray-robed magician finally got up and opened the door with a bored look: "Before that, we must unify the methods of dealing with these local mechanical intelligence groups.
policies."
"After all, they are the owners of this sacred mountain."
