What will happen if Lu Wu can't afford to pay for the repair? The maintenance engineer named Yin has already given the correct answer: he collects money to work, and if he doesn't have money, he will leave, anyway, the ownership of the floating fortress has nothing to do with Yin, even if he leaves a half-pulled project, he has nothing to worry about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, what Lu Wu is really worried about is that there will be such a situation: for the sake of the mountain, the success will fall short. In fact, it was okay to stop the loss decisively at the beginning, but now, the astronomical maintenance costs of one period and one period are paid, and it is difficult to exit. If you stop, it means that all the efforts in the past have been given in vain. When the time comes, any person (for example, the introducer who provided everything, the high-ranking of the regular army, a member of the Evening Star family, the one whose name Lu Wu still doesn't know) pays for the next maintenance, then this floating fortress will really belong to him.

In other words, this is a typical bridal garment for others.

If this really happens, then Lu Wu can only hide in his sleeping bag in depression and cry - he can't even say it, and if he says it, he will become the laughing stock of others.

The contradiction between limited money and unlimited needs is the biggest problem that Lu Wu has to face. In fact, the real problem is not the money, but the cash. The entire mine was under his control, and he had a steady income - the problem was that he didn't have enough money to pay for repairs at once. Although with the assistance of Ivan, he made a lot of extra income (although there may be suspicion of fraud, but Lu Wu can't manage it so much), but that is not a long-term plan after all.

“…… So, at that time, we can naturally wait slowly, and wait until we have enough money, and then repair the floating fortress step by step. ”

Ivan's plan is feasible, the Floating Fortress has a whole host of systems, and they are indispensable components for maintaining the Floating Fortress's combat power. But since the Huiyue camp has no intention of getting involved in the war at the moment, even if these parts are repaired, they will not be used for the time being. In that case, simply focus on the engine and the power - as long as the Floating Fortress can fly again, it can return to the city of Gashe.

At that point, no one would be able to take the Floating Fortress away from Lu Wu. Lu Wu could have waited patiently for himself to accumulate enough money before starting the repair project - he could repair it for as long as he wanted, and he could stop for a while.

Of course, this is only an assumption at the moment, whether it will work or not, and Ivan has no score. You have to go to the maintenance site and talk to Yin carefully. In addition to this, the risks are not small. Everyone knows that Kecha Goyat is very afraid of the Floating Fortress and uses it as his first target. It's really flying into the sky, and if Kecha Goyat attacks again, it's really over. Even an entire Floating Fortress could have been easily managed by Kecha Goat, not to mention the dilapidated Floating Fortress with a bunch of people who were either novices or laymen.

If it is shot down by then, none of the people above will be able to escape. The first time it fell from the sky, most of the members survived, but the second time it was probably not so lucky.

Ivan was worried about this, but Lu Wu was not worried at all. If he had questioned his and Kaicha Goat's affairs in the past, he would have been completely relieved after meeting with Zhiguoten. As the master said, Kecha Goyat was eager to send him a team of destroyers as personal guards, how could he be willing to let Lu Wu die?

"That's it!" Lu Wu quickly decided, not even planning to ask for the opinions of others.

……

"Ma'am, how's it going?" the attendant put a cold, wet towel on Diemon's eyelids.

"It's okay, it's better than I thought. Butterfly replied. "I almost thought I was going to lose my eyesight. She snorted softly. By the way, he touched his face with his hand, but fortunately, the bleeding has stopped now. And there is not much blood that comes out, just like tears of blood shed when crying (such a thing does exist for humans). "Fortunately, I didn't have any ill intentions, I can only count it as a casual action, otherwise I am afraid that I will really kill myself this time. ”

"Ma'am...... Aren't you really under attack?"

"It's not. There are some things that the warlock's words will not understand. Second Law magic is a dangerous form of magic, and you should have at least heard the saying that Second Law Warlocks are capable of influencing and manipulating fate, right?"

"This ...... It's said all over the place......"

Actually, that's partly true, because no one else talks about it, but at least I do. But," she accentuated. "Do you know why I didn't do it? Isn't it a quick thing to let the people you like rise to the top and let the people you hate doom? No, there's no need to be so troublesome, I just turn my fate into an invincible lucky star...... Do you know why not only me, but all the warlocks with this ability wouldn't do this?"

"Why?"

"Because it's very, very, very, very dangerous. Diemeng sighed. "Like what happened to me, I'm scared right now. I really don't have any ill intentions today, I just want to observe Lu Wu's fate a little,...... No, it's not even fate, you can only observe his luck, and he has been hit by such a backlash. If I have bad intentions...... Where is there a need to have such a level of malice, as long as I work a little harder today, I guess it will directly blow up my own brain. Well, of course, if Mu tried his best to disturb it, it is estimated that the whole person would have become scum by now. ”

"So powerful?"

"Yes, any warlock, it's very easy and easy to protect others. But if you want to do interference damage, you have to be careful. So even against mortals who have no power to fight back, you have to think twice before you do this. Because if it's a trap, if the other party is guarded, it's over. Diemeng said while gently massaging her temples. "It's like using a toothpick to pry a house, and if you're not careful, it's a disaster. Well, maybe you can only use this ability as you like if you reach a different world, a different world that no warlock has ever set foot in...... But even so, there are some people who are pampered by the will of the world, and this kind of person is still untouchable. Where are we? It looks like we've been in the car for quite a long time. ”

"It's not very fast," the attendant glanced out the window. "I guess it'll take more than half a day to get to Nice City. Maybe it's midnight...... Madam, according to what you said, who guarded Lu Wu?"

"I don't know, so I've been thinking about it just now. ”

"There's a warlock lurking around him?

"Not really, really not. We searched around and around, but we didn't feel that there was a warlock guarding him. Is it red? That guy is of unknown origin, nine out of ten escaped from the Stygian Moon. Or is it Ivan? Only these two people have stable contact with Lu Wu. However, I believe that none of them are warlocks, let alone warlocks who can protect Lu Wu...... Maybe things are far less complicated than they might seem. ”

"What?"

"There is a difference between temporary guardianship and permanent guardianship, and the former can be easily done by anyone. The latter is difficult, and even a very strong warlock may have to risk losing a part of his power permanently......"

"Is there any difference between the two guardians?"

"There is no difference in terms of effect, but the temporary guardianship will slowly dissipate over time, well, it depends on the strength and seriousness of the caster, a few months to a year or two in general, but it is only three years at most...... However, if Lu Wu had been fortunate enough to be taken care of by a warlock before...... A year or two is also reasonable. After all, at that time, Kecha Goats had not yet risen to prominence, and the actions of the high-ranking warlocks in the Banshee Gate were far less high-profile than they are today. I don't know who has been here secretly or something. ”

As she spoke, Diemon took off her towel and picked up a mirror. In the mirror, his eyeballs were covered in red, sickly bloodshots. However, this level can be thought to be caused by long-term insomnia or staying up late for days, at least it doesn't make people feel like her eyeballs are going to explode at any moment.

It's okay...... Luckily, it's fine. The vision is still a little blurry, but you should apply a cold compress for a while and rest quietly for a day or two, and you will recover completely.

"Speaking of which, ma'am, what do you mean by those words before?" the attendant asked with concern.

"Literally," Diemeng replied casually. "Perhaps, I have found my purpose. However, this is only a possibility, and I have to observe and confirm it. ”

……

Small wooden houses stand at the edge of the forest.

Maybe it's because it really looks so rough and so humble that no uninvited guest has visited it for so long. Even the mutated beasts. The barred gate of the cabin remained closed, locked to the frame by a lock that anyone could easily pick open.

Looking through the sparse fence gate, you can see wood that seems to be overgrown with moss and insects. As everyone knows, the Banshee's Gate, where any biological resources, such as furs, meat, fish, etc., are strictly forbidden to be imported. So even the timber was affected by the pond fish. Local construction demand is also very limited. This makes logging a chicken job.

Not to mention that it was at war at this time. Perhaps, in detail, this area is now controlled by a sapient being from another world, known as Kechagoat. Among the otherworldly technologies brought by Kecha Goat, there is clearly no need for wood. It can be said that this is a corner that has been temporarily forgotten.

That's why a squad of rangers built a secret base here.

Suffice it to say that at least the choice of this base was flawless. Whether it's the creatures created by Kecha Goat, or the spies of the Bright Moon, they all ignore this place completely.

In fact, if it weren't for the guide, even she would have been mistaken for an abandoned lumberjack's hut, and at most she would have chosen to leave. However, since the information that led her here clearly stated what kind of place it was, she would check it out.

After opening the hut and entering the inside, you can really see this perfect scam. A disguise so wonderful that people can't help but clap their hands. She tore open the camouflage net, revealing the massive machine that took up half of the cabin.

A machine capable of transmitting data remotely, allowing the front line to establish a link with the rear. This thing will form a support for activities behind enemy lines.

Obviously, she's in the right place. But the problem is that there should be someone on duty here - in theory. Not long ago, a detachment of Rangers penetrated into the area controlled by Kazuki to learn about the conflict between Kazuki and Kechagoat. However, at the end of the mission, one person failed to return to the team. Apparently something happened to this one. So, in order to know the whereabouts of the man who had not returned, or at least to confirm his death, the other person was left behind.
