Chapter 647: Inside and outside the city
The heat of midsummer has not yet dissipated, and the coolness of early autumn is absent.
The port area of Twilight West City has welcomed a very special group of guests.
A group of creatures with terrifying faces and strange bodies slowly rose from below the sea level and walked slowly towards the pier in the shallows of the harbor area.
Shark people with thick legs and huge saber teeth, sea lion people of huge size and incredible strength, webbed hands and feet, and flippans with gills on the chest......
Although the news of the disembarkation of the Sea Race had long been known, a large number of people from the west of the twilight still gathered in the port area to enjoy the visit, as if participating in a grand parade.
"I never thought there would be such creatures at the bottom of the sea!"
"Dragons are on top, look at their claws!"
"Mom, that fish has legs!"
Listening to the discussion in his ears, Huggins, who was sitting in the carriage, shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to the entourage outside the car: "Let the guards on the scene watch carefully, don't make trouble." ”
Rita's glass water tank was the last to appear in the driveway of the port area.
This time, the huge glass tank is not only home to mermaids, but also some jellyfish that glow with colorful lights, and some jelly-like creatures all over their bodies.
Amid the exclamations of the people, the creatures are constantly changing colors and forms.
Compared to Rita, who had long been accustomed to the public's attention, the other sea people in the tank were extremely nervous, trying their best to hide their figures in the water.
Aldenan, who was in charge of security, looked absentmindedly into the distance and pretended to be casual and said to Carroll, "Barbara has been discharged." ”
Carol hummed and didn't speak again.
Aldenan pouted, "Should we go see her?"
Carol shook her head: "What she needs most now is recuperation. ”
Aldenan: "I've heard that the doctor advised her to give up the baby. ”
Carroll: "She won't agree. ”
Aldernan turned his head and looked at Carroll, "Are you so sure?"
Pretending not to see the banter in Aldenan's eyes, Carroll said softly, "I know her. ”
Aldnan laughed.
From the port area, the people of the sea traveled two blocks to the famous coastal business district of Twilight City.
The shopkeepers waited at the door early, piling up the most expensive goods outside the door, waiting for the legendary gold owners.
A shark man struggled to the shop while sprinkling seawater on his body, and at first glance he caught his eye on a leather belt made of cowhide.
"Distinguished guest, you have a good eye, this belt is strong and durable, and the best materials are used......"
The shopkeeper's voice grew lower and lower as he saw that the shark man actually had his belt around his neck.
The Shark Man used the belt as a necklace and hung the bag he was carrying on the metal buckle of the belt.
After testing the sturdiness, the shark-man nodded in satisfaction.
The helpless shopkeeper smiled, and there was an expression on his face, "As long as you're happy."
The shark man took a handful of pearls the size of lead from the pouch and placed them in the shopkeeper's hand with a gasp.
Seeing the shopkeeper scrambling to pick up pearls, some onlookers exclaimed: "A cowhide belt for a handful of pearls, this is really a ...... deal"
Soon, other people from the sea tribe rushed to the shopping street.
There are flounder people who have exchanged a large coral for an iron pot, a sea lion people have exchanged a whale bone for two small mirrors, and a sea bird has exchanged a piece of gold ore for a fishing net.
In the face of these obviously loss-making transactions, Rita, who knew the price of goods, not only did not stop it, but watched it all with a smile in the water tank.
In the distance, Huggins, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the ocean tribes who were shopping for a lot and said softly, "It looks stupid, but this is the fastest way to integrate into Twilight City." ”
At the same time, in the northern plains of Dusk City, at the foot of the Falling Star Mountains.
Wayne Dunlop commanded the Orcs of the Holy Cult and pulled a thundering beast the size of a hill out of the beast pen.
Thundering War Beasts, these large, docile war beasts, are creatures that Todd brought out of the pits of the Eye of Hell near the Ancient City.
An adult thundering war beast, with a body length of seventeen meters and a height of four meters, its body weight is more than ninety times that of ordinary mules and horses.
Unfortunately, these creatures are slow to move and are not suitable for transporting goods quickly.
However, the dragon army has found a new use in these war beasts.
"Let the lifts move!" Wayne shouted to the dwarves on the platform, "Slow down, don't let the beasts be frightened!"
The dwarven craftsmen stood on a platform dozens of meters high, pulled the pulley rope of the elevator together, and slowly lowered a strange-shaped "cannon" on the back of the thundering war beast.
The gun was pitch black, covered with keel parasites, and the barrel was three .8 meters long with circles of Tesla parasites.
This cannon is a newly developed parasite coil cannon by the University of Twilight, which uses the alternating current generated by the Tesla parasite to generate magnetic waves, and uses the magnetic coupling mechanism between the drive coil and the projectile coil to work to fire the spore parasites in the gun chamber.
Seeing that the parasite coil cannon was placed on the back of the thundering beast, Wayne made a gesture, and several werewolves climbed up the back of the beast along the tail and began to fix the turret with rivets and chains.
A Valkyrie slowly descended from the sky on a griffin, nodded to Wayne and said, "The target has been set." ”
Wayne pulled his monocular out of his bosom and looked towards the snowy mountains.
A tall wooden pillar painted red is stuck on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and it is particularly dazzling in the bitter cold wind.
Wayne waved his hand, signaling that the experiment could begin.
A spore parasite with a metal shell was placed in the barrel of the cannon.
A female elf with the "Surge" ability, donning the keel suit, climbed up to the gunner's cabin on Thunder's back.
Jumping into the gunner's cabin and taking his seat, the elf took a deep breath and inserted the seat's keel nerve hook into his back.
Reaching into the glove-shaped Tesla hive, the elf tightened the keel armor on his hand to the Tesla Parasite.
With an order from the outside, the elf urged the power surge in his body, and his ability was fully opened, and the blue light lines on his body were bright and dazzling.
The buzz in the air grew louder and louder, and finally almost to the point of deafening.
Bursts of dazzling electric light flickered past the Tesla parasite, and then conducted onto the coil of the barrel, and finally illuminated the entire cannon body brightly.
There was a loud roar.
There was a slight earthquake.
A cannonball, so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, whistled out of the barrel.
After a few seconds, the smoke cleared.
Wayne held up his binoculars and looked up the mountain, where the red wooden pillar used as a target was still standing undamaged.
"What's going on?!"
People scrambled to inspect their weapons, and finally reported the results.
1. Although the Thundering War Beast has an extremely thick skin, it is still unable to withstand the electric shock and heat energy generated when the coil cannon is fired. At the moment of launch, the war beast could not bear the pain and moved in place, causing the shelling to be inaccurate.
Second, the rivets and chains used to bind the fort are particularly vulnerable in the huge impact force. It's just been used once, and cracks have already appeared.
Three......
The more Wayne listened, the darker his face became, and finally he couldn't help yelling: "Reformulate the materials and launch plan!"
Watching the people start preparing for the next bombardment again, Wayne looked worriedly at the eastern sky and said to himself, "Just like the Holy King said, we are running out of time......"
