498 Altar
Control and Forge travel through the red mist, and along the way, the two encounter a wolf-shaped robotic golem.
Since the controlled body has been replaced, the wolf-shaped machine golem seems to have difficulty recognizing that the other party is not of the same type, and is controlled to easily approach and decapitate.
After obtaining the third golden wolf fang, the control of the position of the iron tooth became more and more determined.
The two of them walked faster and faster, and soon came to a metal altar.
It is called an altar because there is a raised platform in the center of the building, which can accommodate about five or six people. The platform is surrounded by five metal vats that cannot be hugged by one person and are half a person high. The surface of each metal vat is carved with rough alchemy patterns, and the vat is filled with fiery red lava.
Control and Forge stood on the periphery of the altar, not entering easily, just looking at it without stopping.
"That's what you said, what Iron Tooth is secretly doing?" asked the forge.
The control walked around the altar before saying, "Quite possibly." β
"Can you see what this device does?" Forge asked again.
"I can't see it yet. As soon as the control finished speaking, he saw a golden wolf shadow appear on the platform.
The lava in the five metal vats boiled at once, making a "gurgling" sound.
The metal scrap parts scattered around the altar vibrated one by one as if they had received some kind of summons, and flew towards the center of the altar with a "whoosh".
These waste parts are automatically assembled and assembled, and under the watchful eyes of control and forging, a wolf-shaped machine puppet gradually reveals its form.
The newly-born wolf-shaped machine golem let out a long roar into the sky, then jumped off the altar, picked a random direction, and disappeared into the red mist.
"Iron Tooth is probably here. Forge said as he walked over to the control.
"Perhaps. "There is no subassertion in control," or it could just be that part of the soul of Iron Tooth is sleeping here. β
Forge nodded, "What's next?"
"This seems to be a place to awaken Iron Tooth. Control walked back and forth between the two metal cylinders, and said slowly, "But our purpose is not to meet Iron Tooth. β
"Did you find any traces of the Devourer of Scrap?"
"Not completely, but there are clues. Control reached out his front paws and tapped a metal cylinder, "I'm not saying I tasted the breath of a scrap eater. Didn't you notice that the device here can use scrap? Isn't it a bit like a waste eater?"
Forging thought for a moment and said, "The Scrap Devourer is also made up of waste parts automatically, and it is indeed a bit similar to the scene just now. β
"Iron Tooth probably took advantage of this technique, otherwise he couldn't explain how he made his soul fragments take shape. β
"So what you mean?"
"I need to study these alchemy patterns and figure out what they do. After saying that, she began to silently gaze at the alchemy patterns on the metal jar in front of her, and her eyes flashed red.
Control is the best alchemy pattern seal carver in the device club, and due to his special status, his understanding of alchemy patterns is far beyond the technical level of Gear City. Of course, the rainwater hiding in the screw alley is an exception.
Time passed minute by minute, and the forging waited patiently. During this period, two more wolf-shaped machine golems were born, but the forging did not alarm them, allowing the two wolf-shaped machine golems to walk into the red mist.
"I know what these lines do. "The controls finally spoke again," they used to control the shape of the metal. β
Forging said, "Equivalent to forging metal?"
"Pretty much. The control walked over to another metal cylinder.
This time she only watched it for a moment, and then she figured it out. "The function of this is assembly. β
She walked over to the next metal cylinder. "Activate. β
She then walked past the two remaining metal cylinders, looked at them and said, "Design and commission." β
"The five devices have different functions, and together they can be used to produce semi-finished products without stopping. Control finally looked at the platform in the center of the altar, "Of course, the most crucial step here is to extract the soul fragments of Iron Tooth. I guess it should be done by the platform in the middle. β
"Why did Iron Tooth do this, he had been here for so long, and his soul strength had weakened a lot, and extracting the fragments would only make his soul weaker and weaker. The forging was a little incomprehensible, "Is it for the big ring match?"
"Definitely not. "I think that's how he dodged the city lord's inspection." Sacrifice soul fragments, but save the main soul. So he will sleep longer and longer, because the soul is too weak. β
"This won't solve the problem, it's just delaying time. Forging said.
"It's not a bad idea to delay, so he's the one who has been in Gear City the longest. Control looked at the entire altar again, "The alchemy pattern design here is really ingenious, it's obviously not so complicated, but it can achieve these functions, the person who designed it is really amazing." β
"And did you find out how the whole device was connected to the Devourer of Scrap?"
"Nope. Control shook his head, "If the Waste Eater had been so easy to find, we'd have discovered his secrets long ago." But I believe that the principle of this device should be derived from the waste eater. β
"So, to find the Devourer of Scrap, you still have to ask Iron Tooth. β
"It seems that this is the only way to go. β
"Where's the Iron Tooth?" said the forge, pointing to the platform, "under it?"
"It should be. It shouldn't be easy to destroy this place though, and we'd better get the others in there first. β
"Good. The forging suddenly turned around and said to the red mist, "Since you're already here, why don't you come out?"
Control also looked at the red mist.
Forging and control remained motionless, just waiting quietly like that, and the scene became a little eerie.
After ten or so seconds, the red mist surged, and a figure came out of it. He wears a metal helmet, and several tentacles protrude from his chest, three of which each have a golden wolf's tooth rolled into itβa stone.
"I just happened to be passing by. Shi said.
"Haven't you been here for a long time?" said Kong, looking at Shi, "I guess I got here before we did." β
Control seems to have discovered the stone earlier than forging.
"I was just curious, so I kept sitting on the sidelines and observing. Shi did not deny it.
"And you hear our conversation?" asked the control as he took two steps closer.
Forging unknowingly, he came behind Shi, and he and the control blocked Shi's retreat one after the other.
"I heard that you were interested in the Waste Devourers. Shi admitted again that he didn't seem flustered at all, and he didn't take the siege that controlled the two of them seriously.
"You know what we're trying to do, don't you want to say anything?" Control took another step forward.
"Everyone has secrets, and I'm not very interested in your secrets. Stone pointed to the altar and said, "I'm interested in the soul fragments of Iron Tooth, though. β
