CALARX3: Sky City
Yue Shaoyi and Jing walked down the cliff under the guidance of the gods and stopped on the side of a stone road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Both sides of the road are tall and dense woods. Yue Shaoyi took a deep breath of fresh air, and the cells in his body seemed to cheer.
"Brother Shendi, what are you doing standing here?" He asked the bearded man next to him.
"Ah, wait for the car." The god craned her neck to look into the distance of the stone path. The stone path curves long and winds into the depths of the forest in the distance.
"Car?" Yue Shaoyi raised his eyebrows. On his right, Xiao Jing, who has always been active, is teasing the little tree ghost in his arms.
"yes, wait for the bus. At the same time, it is also a sightseeing car. Shen Tu explained.
"Bus ......," Yue Shaoyi muttered in a low voice. [Sky City...... The car coming here won't be the cat bus in My Neighbor Totoro...... That's too ...... Hayao Miyazaki, right? He secretly guessed, and just then, the wind was heard in the distance.
Yue Shaoyi and the three of them turned their heads to look at the end of the stone road on the left, and a huge monster flew along the stone road. Yue Shaoyi's eyes widened as he looked at the dark cyan "bus" speeding over. Horse-headed antlers, tiger-beaked snake body, turtle eyes and eagle claws, bull's ears and long whiskers, countless hard scales covered its body, and the sound of gold and iron clashing between them rubbed against each other. Its densely scaled body is flanked by numerous circular portholes, equal distances from each other. Through the window, Yue Shaoyi saw that the interior of the "bus" seemed to be very spacious, and the arrangement of seats was like a subway in a human city.
The dragon bus came to a sudden stop, and the door, which was not even noticeable from the outside, suddenly opened, and Shen Tu lowered his head and took the lead in getting on the bus. Xiao Jing hugged the tree ghost and jumped into the car with joy.
Yue Shaoyi carefully looked at the huge and crooked bus outside, and then with a look of horror, he found that the seats inside the dragon's body would actually move up and down with the dragon's curved undulations.
He boarded the spooky dragon bus and tried to find a more stable seat.
[Yes, it's Miyazaki.] He complained silently in his heart.
The carriage was spacious and empty, except for the three of them who had just gotten on the train, and only a bearded man sat on the seat not far away. What made Yue Shaoyi very curious was that the bearded man was undressing.
Shizuya looked at the man curiously. I saw that the man was wearing a thick snow suit, a thick cotton hat, and a huge backpack at his feet in snow boots. With a big beard, you can barely see your face, and you look like a foreigner. The man looked up at the three of them as he undressed, and then he looked at Shen Tu with some surprise.
"Yo! Bearded?! How did you come to Sky City? The man with an extremely thick beard said.
"Are you embarrassed to call me a beard? Maiwen? Shen Di glared and said what Yue Shaoyi was silently complaining about in his heart.
"Huh?" The man named Maiwen touched his chin and seemed to remember that he hadn't shaved. "Ahh I forgot ......" Maiwen grabbed his beard and pulled off the cotton hat he wore on his head, revealing his short messy red hair.
"Where have you been on an adventure again?" Shen asked him with a kind smile.
"Just got back from the portal in Antarctica, and I'll have to go back in two days. Alas...... It's ...... there now," Maiwen finally took off her thick pair and changed into a thin set of clothes. He began to shave as if no one was around.
Yue Shaoyi looked at Mai Wen curiously. [Antarctica?] Explore? Is this man an adventurer? ]
"I forgot to introduce you," Shen Di turned his head to look at Yue Shaoyi and Jing. "This guy is an idle explorer whose name is McVin Garland. You know Bear Grylls, right? ”
"Yes." Yue Shaoyi nodded. [Master Pei......]
"This guy used to be a comrade-in-arms with Bell, and he was the photographer who followed Bell in the first wilderness survival." Shen Tu pointed to Mai Wen, who was shaving.
McVen turned his head and nodded at them in a friendly way.
"So powerful?" Yue Shaoyi looked at Mai Wen in surprise. “…… Wait, what do you mean when you just said that you just came back from Antarctica? ”
Mai Wen's expression was a little surprised, and then he suddenly froze.
"You're a newcomer, don't you know. I teleported back through the 'door', which cost a little more, but was much faster than an airplane or something. ”
"Door?" Yue Shaoyi looked at Shen Tu suspiciously.
"That's the one who teleported you over just now!" Shen Tu explained. "The portal! There are 81 of them all over the world! ”
"So powerful?!" Yue Shaoyi's eyes lit up. "Doesn't that mean you can go wherever you want?"
"Dream on you!" Xiao Jing interrupted Yue Shaoyi on the side. "That portal is charged! And the charges are quite high...... Except for the one that leads to Yunchuan. She was flipping through a book in her hand, which seemed to be an introduction to Sky City.
"That's it......" Yue Shaoyi leaned back in his seat with some disappointment.
Shen Tu looked at Maiwen. "What about your spiritual servant? Mei didn't come back with you? ”
[Xiaomei?] Yue Shaoyi's ears moved. [How ...... the name]
"You say Meiling? She's also on an expedition to Antarctica...... I've been stopping her from freezing Antarctica with a frost gun for months, and I'm so tired......" McVen shaved his beard roughly, revealing an angular face, and he grumbled.
[What the hell?] Mei Ling...... Frost Gun ...... This guy isn't talking about a watchman...... Cough...... That little beauty in the vanguard, right? Yue Shaoyi pricked up his ears with some curiosity, but Shen Di and Mai Wen chatted casually for a few irrelevant words and stopped talking.
Shen Tu turned his head to look at Yue Shaoyi and Jing, and began to explain to himself. The dragon-shaped bus suddenly shook violently and flew up.
"Do you see the two suns in the distance, we call the bigger one the main yang, and the smaller one the Shaowu. As for the purple celestial body, we call it the Guardian. Shen Tu pointed out of the porthole.
"Wow! That bird over there has two heads! Jing suddenly screamed.
"Ah, the bird you are talking about should be barbaric, also known as the winged bird (from the Book of Mountains and Seas, the following are all below). That's actually two birds. Shen Tu explained.
"Oh...... Wow! What's over there? It looks so weird. Jing nodded, then shouted again.
"That's Lushu, the voice is very good." Shen Tu explained.
"And that! It's weird! Jing pointed to a nine-tailed, four-eared creature that looked like a goat on the other side.
"It's a monster, and it's said that if you wear it, you will become brave and fearless."
"And that!"
"That's raccoon power."
"What about that?"
"That's the nine-tailed fox."
"Where's that weird dwarf?"
"That's a mountain god."
"Huh? And what about this stupid big guy with an impatient face? ”
"Huh? Isn't this your master? Shen Tu laughed loudly.
Yue Shaoyi pursed his lips in boredom, too lazy to pay attention to these two guys.
"Then again, the creatures here are weird, and they seem to be ...... It's all in the Book of Mountains and Seas? Yue Shaoyi looked at Shen Di suspiciously.
"Yes, the creatures recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas are here." Shen replied.
"Huh? Is everything written in the Book of Mountains and Seas true? ”
"That's right." Shen Tu nodded. "It's just that you can't find it on Earth. Speaking of which...... The man who wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas must have explored the bottom of the island......"
"What is under the island?" Yue Shaoyi asked.
"It's under the floating island where Sky City is located." Shen Tu explained casually. He pointed out the window to the sprawling complex of buildings that were getting closer and closer. "It's just built on a small island floating in the air. The world below the island is infinite! ”
Yue Shaoyi looked out the window in shock, it was really hard to imagine this brand-new world below...... The vastness of the planet.
"Oh yes," Shen Tu patted his head. "This isn't just any island, we're actually on the back of a giant turtle floating around."
