The Ice Bear Abyss followed Catherine, watching as she pointed out one "exit" after another on the wall. It's a pity that in the eyes of the old barbarians, those ancient elves can't understand at all.

The two of them followed the instructions on the wall and ran all the way, and they came to the end of the hallway, a huge iron door. At the iron gate stood two helmeted, completely masked guards. However, looking at their outfits, they are similar to those of the clouds.

The two guards saw Catherine and the Ice Bear running towards them, and together they turned and pulled open the huge iron door. After the rumbling sound, a dimly lit alley was revealed.

The guard didn't seem interested in conversing with the visitor, and hurriedly closed the iron door after motioning for the two to enter.

"This is Screw Alley. Catherine stood at the mouth of the alley and looked in. The so-called alleys are just small streets of shops built in huge ventilation ducts, and the streets are lined with simple shops on both sides.

There weren't many people in the alley, and there were scattered pedestrians, and the arrival of two strangers didn't attract attention.

"Find a place to ask about the situation first. Ice Bear Abyss pointed to the first shop at the mouth of the alley.

But when the two of them walked into the shop, they were a little stunned.

There was only a simple four-legged iron table in the shop, on which was placed a metal head, with all the facial features and vivid.

"Is this the head of a robot golem?" Catherine really didn't expect a metal head to be so delicate and lifelike. The humanoid robot puppets they saw along the way were all in the same form, with a monotonous and simple appearance, and they were all the same.

"Maybe it's a special model. The Ice Bear Abyss was also a little curious, and even picked up the metal head and played with it.

"Why don't you go to the other side and have a look. Catherine gestured to the second shop diagonally across from her.

The Ice Bear Abyss lowered the metal skull and walked into the second shop with Catherine. The setting was still a four-legged iron table, on which a metal body rested, but there were no limbs.

The metal body has a sleek exterior that is almost indistinguishable from a real human body.

Catherine curled her fingers and tapped twice on the metal body, making a "dangdang" sound, it seemed that the metal body was not solid yet.

The Ice Bear Abyss flipped the metal body over, and there was a flap on the back of the body, and when it was opened, it was full of various transmission gears and iron shafts.

The two looked at each other, and Catherine walked quickly to the third shop next door, glanced at it, and came back and said, "It's the arm." ”

"I think these shops are just for display. The Ice Bear Abyss closed the flip cover, "Interesting, are these things for sale?"

"Mostly. Everything has to be paid for at the forging side, and it's not uncommon for people to sell beautiful machine golem parts. Catherine stood at the door of the shop and looked in the direction of the deeper alley, "Someone is coming, as if they are coming at us." ”

The Ice Bear Abyss walked out of the shop, and sure enough, he saw a tall man wearing a masked helmet walking towards them. The man was wearing a helmet, but there was no trace of transformation on his body, and he was wearing a robe, and his figure was that of a man.

"Welcome two newcomers, you can call me 'Mountain'. The tall man walked up to the two of them and said in the ancient elven language, "It's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer from outside, I don't know how you two found here?"

"We met Yun, and thanks to her move, we were able to get rid of the wolves at the Iron Tooth Bar. Ice Bear Abyss said.

"Those wolves are really troublesome. Shan nodded, "It's lucky that you guys met the clouds." ”

"It's not entirely luck. Catherine said, "The cloud found us because it saw a signal, but we actually brought a token. ”

Catherine pulled out the metal engraving.

Yama took a look at the metal engraving and said, "It turns out that you are members of the installation club. Now that we've got the map, the Device Club has agreed to join our project, so come with me. ”

Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss exchanged glances and followed the mountain forward.

"But I didn't expect the Device Club to send a newcomer like you to deliver a map. As he walked, he said, "It's very dangerous for you to walk in Gear City with such a swagger, why don't you accept the transformation first?"

Catherine cast an inquiring glance at the Ice Bear Abyss, and the old barbarian nodded slightly.

"We're looking for someone called Old Wrench and he's going to transform it for us. Catherine replied.

"Looking for an old wrench?" Shan's footsteps paused, and he looked back at the two of them again, "You two newcomers still know the old wrench?" Okay, I'll take you to see him later." ”

Yama came to a shop deep in the alley and walked in. Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss followed him, and found that there were several more iron chairs in the shop in addition to the table, and several metal carving knives were placed on the table.

"Please, let's get down to business. Shan pulled out an iron chair and sat down.

Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss pulled out their chairs and sat down.

"What do you call it?" asked Shan.

"Catherine. ”

"Ice bear. ”

Shan took out two metal plates from his bosom, picked up a carving knife, and used them to engrave their names in ancient Elven language.

"These two are proof of your identity. Shan pushed the two pieces of metal in front of the two of them, "Anyway, you have to go to the old wrench, and you can ask him to carve the alchemy pattern directly for you." If you have any questions, you can ask them now. ”

"Can you ask any question?" the Ice Bear Abyss asked rhetorically, a little uncertain.

"As long as I can answer, and the questions I can answer. Shan accentuated the tone in the second half of the sentence.

"What's the plan?" Catherine asked first, "what." ”

"The content of the plan cannot be said at this time, but it will be explained uniformly at that time. ”

"What's the use of identification?" asked the Ice Bear Abyss.

"Proof of identity is used to prove that you are a participant in the program. The two of them will stay here for the next few days until everyone is there. Pointing to the metal piece in front of the Ice Bear Abyss, the mountain said, "Only then will you have to show this identification to join the project." We've got people coming and going here all the time, and it's not good to have unrelated people get in. ”

"If you want to stay here all the time, can you quit?" Catherine frowned.

"Yes, stay here until the plan starts. If you want to quit, you shouldn't come. Shan's tone was a little strange, "Since you're here on behalf of the Device Club, there's no way to quit. I don't know why the Installation Club would send newcomers like you to join the program, but it's not important to us that you're not new, it's important that you participate. ”

Catherine secretly cursed in her heart, that forging was probably using the two of them as pawns, and this so-called plan must be dangerous.
