Chapter 30: The City of Machines
The capital of machinery.
It is a city led by dwarves, who are very good at building machines, building buildings, and many weapons, and are attached to a group of people under the Sect of Is.
The city is not only known as the cradle of machinery, but also a must-visit place for adventurers.
The city has produced many palpitating, defense-provoking, and attack-powerful spider fortresses, some of the great forces in the deep labyrinths, and many of the things they ride on are produced here.
The capital of machinery, covering an area of 550 square kilometers, the entire city is surrounded by metal black paint walls, and there are various towers, erected in various parts of the city, constantly in operation.
Starting from the periphery, there are low-rise buildings, residential houses, temporary facilities, trading places, entertainment facilities, and various construction sites, and workers are sweating, raising construction tools in their hands, and constantly busy.
As you penetrate deeper into the city, the low-rise buildings become high-rise buildings, all of which take on a unique luster exuded by steel and metal, with strange shapes, curved and oblique, and stacked on top of each other.
Some of them are even made in the shape of animals, plants and trees, as if you have suddenly entered a dense forest of high-rise buildings.
From afar, you can see the dry clouds of the sun, and the high hall is wide.
Up close, it looks magnificent and ingenious.
"Here we are, this is the capital of machines. Lias walked out of the station, looking at the tall buildings with a shocked expression, and sighed at the construction technology of the people here.
This is the first time she has entered such a big city, and she is full of curiosity and excitement about everything she sees.
"Where are we going?" said Red, who was a little overwhelmed, and was deeply shocked by the tall buildings in front of him, as if he were a typical villager entering a big city.
"Let's find a place to go around? I just saw a lot of interesting things on the train. Yuan Li is even more exaggerated, touching the west and touching more, like a bandit.
"No! Lias hit Yuan Li.
"Lias, you're going too far! You're restricting my freedom in life!" Yuan Li complained, feeling very unhappy.
"I said in the car, everything is up to me, you forgot?" Lias said triumphantly.
"It's in the car, and it doesn't count when you get out of the car. Yuan Li's eyes were the same as black beads, and he kept spinning and turning, obviously wanting to play a scoundrel.
"With me, you don't have the right to make free decisions, and if you can't see it for sure, you're causing trouble for me again. "Lias is on the matter, and she will not let him mess around again when it comes to causing trouble.
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Yuan Li was aggrieved and pouted in protest.
"Our main goal now is to have a Spider Fortress!" Lias pointed out the main purpose of their trip, the Spider Fortress is indispensable for entering the Labyrinth.
"Like...... We don't have that much money. Red laughed a little, the three of them combined didn't have more than a hundred gold coins, let alone an ordinary spider fortress, the average price reached about a thousand gold coins.
"So we had to think of something else to see if we could find something else, or buy a cheaper one. Lias covered her head, she also had a headache.
"Actually, I have an idea that can solve the problem of money. Yuan Li was on the side, and the old god was there, looking confident.
"You're still up with ideas, forget it. Lias rolled her eyes suddenly, and directly labeled Yuan Li's idea as never.
"Lias, you are too much, you didn't even listen to my advice and directly rejected it, you are too feminine. Yuan Li complained about his unfair treatment and tried to refute it.
"Yuan Li, what can you do?" asked Red.
Hearing this, Yuan Li looked at Red gratefully, and seemed to finally see a comrade who was willing to listen to what he said, crying and wiping his tears, and said mysteriously: "We can gamble!"
"You better stop talking, I want to hit someone again. Lias knew that Yuan Li's paste would definitely not come up with any good ideas.
"Really, there should also be a place like Semedo Town here, when the time comes, I will go to fight, press myself, won't it be enough money to win?" Yuan Li's eyes sparkled, as if he saw a way to get rich and make a fortune.
Lias looked at Yuan Li, and only the latter could come up with such a bias move.
"I think it's the way to make money. Red nodded, agreeing with this method, after all, he knew more about this kind of thing when he was in the violent underground arena before.
"Of course, there is another option. Yuan Li proposed again.
Lias and Red looked at him, wanting to hear what he was thinking.
"We can come to save the beauty with a hero. Yuan Li showed a sinister smile, and then continued: "Let Lias sacrifice herself, pretend to be insulted, and then we will take action and let them compensate, what do you say ......"
When Yuan Li first spoke, his face was a little obscene, but when he saw Lias's face getting darker and darker, he obediently closed his mouth.
Hearing this, Red is really ridiculous, and I don't know what to say.
Lias's eyes changed, like a glowing sharp needle, staring at Yuan Li fiercely, trying to nail the latter to blood.
Yuan Li suddenly looked around, his nose clasped expressionlessly.
"Let's take a walk around the city. Seeing this embarrassing scene, Red suggested.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's see. Yuan Li heard Red's words and hurriedly agreed.
I saw that Yuan Li was speeding away in the distance, obviously worried that Lias would go crazy.
Lias's mood exploded at this time, what could she do? Beat and scolded, scolded and scolded, Yuan Li, a guy with a lack of brains, is simply!
So the two followed one after another and walked in the direction of Yuan Li.
...... ......
The Machinery City has many machine manufacturing factories, some of which are privately owned and run by adventurist groups, but more of them are mainly industries under the influence of Yisi.
The Yisjiao also relied on such revenues to cover the expenses of ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, in the factory under a high-rise building in the city, the factory is not large, about 7,000 square meters, which is full of all kinds of machinery, fire welding, electric switches, and cutting machines.
"Dad, why can't we build what we want to build on our own will?"
A dwarf in his twenties, with fluffy hair, sparse stubble, a round face, and a small belly, very cute.
The dwarf, named Victor Byrne, is a native of the Capital of Machines, kind-natured, somewhat timid, and a lover of machines, dreaming of building a spider fortress that would be the envy of anyone.
"Victor, you have to remember that we dwarves are for the Sect of Is, and we can only build a Spider Fortress for the Religion of Ish, and we have decided that we cannot build a Spider Fortress for ourselves. ”
A middle-aged dwarf named Poole Byrne, known as Old Poole, Victor's father, was a well-known dwarven mechanic in the area, and had built a lot of commendable machinery.
"But why tear down my Spider Fortress, it's something I've spent years and painstakingly built. Victor was very timid, respected his father, asked the doubts in his heart, and was very reluctant.
"Victor, the construction of the Spider Fortress must be approved by the Sect of Is, and the construction of it without permission will be punished. Poole Sr. said with a serious face.
The dwarves are attached to the name of the Yisi Sect and obey the orders of the Yisi Sect, and at the same time, the Dwarves must also obey the various instructions and obligations issued by the Yisi Sect to the Dwarves, all of which need to be followed, otherwise the Yisi Sect will no longer protect the Dwarves.
The dwarves are a race that has lived in this world for a long time, and because of their honest personality and enthusiasm for building, they have been used by bad people, imprisoned, and brutally treated.
When the Eth Sect saved the dwarves, the dwarves offered to voluntarily help the Eth Sect in order to repay their kindness, so the dwarves now only follow the orders and instructions of the Eth Sect and build what they need.
Correspondingly, the Sect of Is, as a guardian, protects the dwarves.
Dwarves are quite numerous, both inside and outside the labyrinth, and are active in various places.
"Father, is there no way?" Victor said weakly as he looked at a spider fortress more than ten meters high hidden by a huge curtain.
"You better give up, dwarves must keep their promises. Old Poole shook his head, expressing regret.
Poole's words made Victor very sad, but he knew that what his father said was right.
"Hey, it's sad to watch it for a long time, don't forget to go to the black market. ”
Seeing the sad Victor, Old Poole couldn't bear to sigh, left a word of advice, and walked towards the outside of the factory.
Victor looked at the fortress wrapped in the curtain in front of him, and unconsciously shed tears.
