Text Act V: The Rebellion of Heaven and Earth (I)_Chapter 187: Artisan Village
In Northern Xinjiang, it seems that there are only two seasons, spring and winter, in the spring of Northern Xinjiang, every day is full of wind and sand, during the day, a person standing in a random place will be buried in the sand, there is not so much wind and sand at night, but the low temperature at night can freeze people as if falling into a nine-foot ice hell, which is why the alliance headquarters is reluctant to come here to carry out tasks.
Lola, the head of the Ghost Hand Department of the Slayer Alliance, once said, "In a devil region like Northern Xinjiang, except for the Dugu family born in the wilderness, there is any family that can live there, anyway, I can't stay there." ”
When Lola finished saying this, he was also glad that Aurora Mikrolos didn't hear this, otherwise, no matter what the ghost hand said, Aurora would force the ghost hand to renovate the city of the sun, if the strength of the ghost hand to repair the old city defense facilities of the city of the day was simply a matter of effort, but they didn't want to work in such a harsh environment, so they made up a lie to tell the aurora that the transformation of the city defense machinery in the city of the city was too difficult, and asked the chief secretary to find another talent.
But today, the Ghost Hand had to go to the city of the sun, the reason is that Floating Dawn Aniston told Aurora Miklos these words in full, and then they were arranged to come to the city of the day, and with them, there was also Dongfang Ziyan, who had not recovered from a serious injury.
Originally, Dongfang Ziyan didn't use it, but he insisted that he was fine, and by the way, he wanted to visit the Dugu family master, Dugu Ba, the corpse demon old man, Lei Meng and others, so he went with the ghost hand.
At noon, the soldiers of the city were busy with their own affairs under the scorching sun, the soldiers of the Dugu family who were afraid of the heat were still enjoying the cool, the camel bell was also echoing, and the background was the dilapidated city wall of the city of Buri, a barren scene.
Suddenly, the people in the city were attracted by the sound of the sky, and they all looked up, only to see a silver airship more than thirty meters in the sky roaring through the sky and flying towards the center of the city.
It is the royal mechanical airship "Devil's Hand" of the Ghost Hand, a foreign alloy metal frame, built-in sixteen mechanical kinetic energy devices, which can fly at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, which is the ultimate work of alchemy machinery, but compared with the "Tietan Airship", the only drawback is that the mechanical kinetic energy device needs to be replaced regularly, and the Tietan Airship uses a perpetual motion energy mechanical device, despite this, this "Devil's Hand" is already a shocking work.
When the Devil's Hand slowly landed in the central clearing of the city, it stirred up a large cloud of yellow dust, which amazed the defenders of the city, because they had never seen such a scene in their lives.
In the flying gray dust, the Devil's Hand slowly raised the silver sliding door, and then two or two people dressed in white and gold clothes appeared, each wearing a black dust mask, anti-bacterial gloves on both hands, and heat-proof leather boots made of glacial crocodile leather on their feet.
"Luxi, can you really live here? How come I didn't see any dwellings and common people, only those barbaric people from the Dugu family. Lola asked her deputy minister, breathing heavily in a dust mask.
"Minister, you forgot, Buri City is a special military town, and there are no residents, only the army of the Dugu family." Luxi cupped his eyes and said.
"Is there one? It's really the first time I've seen such a fully militarized city, and even the water-stopping city-state is not intensively militarized. Lola glanced at Luxi and said.
"According to the book, this city was built under the auspices of Mr. Tetsu Qiusheng, and it is a city full of mechanical devices, which is a typical city of defending against enemies." Another member of the Ghost Hand said as he flipped through a framed book.
"It's really ...... here Can it be inhabited? And also...... How do these people of the Dugu family look at us like animals? Another member of the Ghost Hand asked.
Lola slapped the member on the head hard, "You idiot, why are you talking like that, we're here to save them!" After speaking, Lola took the twenty-six capable members of the Ghost Hand Department and walked down the stairs to the Devil's Hand, and at the same time beckoned to the soldiers of the Dugu family, and shouted, "The Mechanical Alchemy Department of the Alliance Headquarters has come to help with the transformation ......plan of Buri City."
But after a burst of blowing, after the yellow sand swept away, no one cared about their existence at all.
At this time, Dongfang Ziyan's face turned pale. Weakly leaning out of the hatch of the Devil's Hand, he was heavily bandaged, and his eyes were full of tiredness.
"You ...... Forgot to bring me along. Dongfang Ziyan said to the ghost hand who got off the airship.
After hearing this, the members of the Ghost Hand Department remembered that Dongfang Ziyan was still sleeping in the back cabin and didn't wake him up, so Lola quickly asked the two of them to help him over. Dongfang Ziyan still has some difficulty walking by himself, so he can only be supported by people to walk, he injured his internal organs in the battle for the head of the family, so he can't walk by himself now, to prevent the wound on his abdomen from cracking again.
"Brother Lola, we should go to the head of the Dugu family first...... Uncle Dugu Xie. Dongfang Ziyan said.
Lola looked at Dongfang Ziyan through the dust mask, "I think so too, but looking at it, there don't seem to be any large buildings such as palaces in this city, they are all earth-colored buildings, and they all look like fortresses." ”
"There is no royal palace...... However, there is a castle lord in this place...... The head of the Dugu family is generally in the city lord's capital. Dongfang Ziyan didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only speak softly.
"I know that when the Senate ruled the world, the northern frontier was managed by the Duhu, let's go, let's go to the Duhufu first." Lola stroked her withered yellow hair, took out a dark red gauze scarf from her backpack, put it on, and led the group away.
It is said that the spring in northern Xinjiang is windy and sandy, so much that you can't see your toes when you go out, but in fact, this is not a bad thing, a large amount of wind and sand is raging, but it will hide this military fortress, so that the enemy who wants to invade from the north can't figure out the direction, which is why the barbarians will come to raid in the winter of northern Xinjiang, because the winter in northern Xinjiang is longer than spring, and the night time is longer than spring, and there is no wind and sand raging.
As soon as I arrived at the Metropolitan Protectorate, I saw Raymond who had just come out with a team of sergeants at the door.
"Ziyan ......" Raymond still carried his heavy hammer, the chain attached to the wide belt, rough and strong.
Raymond ...... Big brother, it's been a long time. Dongfang Ziyan said to Raymond with a wry smile.
"What are you ......" Raymond looked at Dongfang Ziyan, and then looked at the people in the ghost hands, but the ghost hands were all wearing dust masks, and he only recognized them from the alliance headquarters from their clothes.
"This is the ghost hand, to transform the city defense of the city, is the head of the house here?" Dongfang Ziyan asked.
"The head of the house is in the house, come with me." Raymond took Ziyan from the members of the Ghost Hand Division, and he helped Dongfang Ziyan to walk in front and walked into the mansion.
Lola and his men, all holding confidential drawings and tools, looked at each other for a while, and then walked in.
Before entering the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, everyone heard the hearty laughter of Dugu Xie, the head of the Dugu family, Dongfang Ziyan smiled, and with the support of Raymond, as soon as he entered the lobby, he smelled a smell of sake, and saw Dugu Xie, who was wearing half of the beast robe, striding over, followed by Dugu Ba, who had not been seen for a long time.
"Boy, it's been three years since the last time I said goodbye, and you see, you've grown into a big boy!" Dugu Xie laughed and said to Dongfang Ziyan.
"Ziyan visits the head of the Dugu family." Dongfang Ziyan said with a smile, "Ke Ziyan has a small injury, so I can't do the crime of remembering." ”
"You don't have to be formal, you don't have to be formal, and you're not an outsider." Dugu Ba hurriedly said, "Father, Ziyan's injury has not healed, so let him sit down quickly." ”
"Sit sit, sit sit." Dugu Xie only remembered after Dugu Ba said this, and smiled and let Raymond help Ziyan sit down.
Dongfang Ziyan seemed to feel that he had forgotten something, so he looked back and saw that he had forgotten that there was still a ghost hand! But the mechanical maniacs are gone! So Dongfang Ziyan hurriedly asked Raymond, Raymond and Duguba immediately went out to find the trace of the ghost hand, and finally, they found the ghost hand in the inner hall of the Duhu Mansion.
"Lola, what are you doing?" Duguba knew the minister of the ghost hand, so he asked.
Lola glanced back at Duguba, and then asked, "Duguba, who drew this mechanical engineering composition in your house?" It's so perfect, it's simply that the ancestor (the ancestor they are talking about refers to Lu Ban, the founder of mechanical alchemy in ancient legends) is alive! If this person is alive, he can be called a ghost talent with my family's Qiusheng master and ancestor! ”
"Oh?" Dugu Ba smiled, "We also think so, but the person who painted this picture is in the mansion at the moment." ”
"Then I have to ask for advice, this person's mechanical talent is extremely high, many bold designers I can't even think of, according to this map to repair the city defense, there will be no mistake! Hurry up, I want to meet the master! Lola said excitedly.
"Lola, the designer of this picture, is me." Dongfang Ziyan walked tremblingly from the lobby.
