Chapter VII
By the river, a group of people stood there like chickens in soup, taking the towel of the military empire and wiping their wet clothes.
"Ah!!h
"So you catch a cold? Looks like you still need to exercise. ”
"Who do you think did the murder?"
"What's the way, how do I know this big guy is coming." Ike glanced at the El Sai Eu airship moored in the river. "Stained, Liber's most advanced airship is also here, it seems that there are amazing characters here." Ike glanced meaningfully at the somewhat flustered Kros.
"Estelle, can you show me that power guide?"
"Huh? What's your bad idea again? Estelle looked at Ike suspiciously, but still took the strange guide from her bag and handed it to Ike.
"Don't think of me as a villain, I'm just curious about what a power guide that can disable an ancient relic is... Ike took the black guide, flipped it over for a long time, returned it to Estelle, and turned to leave.
"Hello? Feed! Ike, where are you going? Estelle chased after her.
"Things seem to be a bit beyond my expectations, I want to check something, ah, don't you come with me, don't you have to travel?" Ike waved his hand behind him, and a few fish leaped away from the crowd.
"Ahhh Estelle, who had failed to track down, turned back to complain with a look of chagrin.
"Ike probably has a more important mission." Joshua looked thoughtfully at Estelle's bag, "It seems that things are not easy to make that powerful Ike show a solemn expression, and it is also related to his father." ”
"It looks like it's a few years older than us, but it seems to have been pulled apart." Estelle was a little frustrated, "Did Joshua do it in the end?" ”
"I can't do that." Joshua smiled bitterly, "That combat skill is not something that can be practiced casually, I guess Ike has suffered a lot because of it, and we have to work hard." ”
"Woo woo woo a It's decided, I'll make sure he will be impressed next time we meet! ”
"Hehe, that's Estelle's style." Kross smiled, "Well, since you're leaving, let me see you off, it's a bit of a pity that I can't travel with you, at least in the end, I can send you to the fortress."
。。。。。。
In the Karudia Tunnel, a figure quickly shuttled through the tunnel, and Ike, who was galloping all the way, avoided the magical beasts passing by as if they had seen a natural enemy.
"Huh? Someone's breath? At this time? Ike listened with a frown, and the scattered breath was withdrawn little by little. When he saw the person who was coming, Ike was taken aback: "Kid?!" ”
"Ahh Hello. The little girl who ran from across from Ike was also taken aback, and greeted while breathing, "Hello, did you see a broken street lamp on the way here?" It's the one that hangs on the wall. The girl asked, pointing to the guiding light on the side.
"There are ones on the other side of the river, but what are you going to do?" Ike pointed to the corner not far behind him.
"Sure, is that really the case?" The little girl cried with a sad face, "I'm very sorry, I'm in a hurry to leave again." Without waiting for Ike to speak, he hurried in the direction Ike had pointed out.
"Alone? That kid is Chase's manager? Ike's face suddenly changed, "Hey! Wait, I'm scared of the monsters over there. Frightened monsters tend to be more irritable than usual, and before they can say more, they hurriedly turn around and rush back.
"Did that idiot go over to the monster pile?" Turning the corner, the little girl with the red hat and goggles was surrounded by a group of monsters. He looked around in a panic.
"Squat!" Ike yelled at the girl, drew the long sword behind his back, his feet suddenly accelerated, and a faint glow of fire appeared on his feet, and he jumped into the circle of monsters and swung them violently, and the monsters around him fell to the ground like straws.
"Huh..." The stunned little girl looked at this scene stunned, "You, you just now... ”
"Are you stupid?!" Ike put away his sword and twisted the little girl's head unceremoniously, "It's dangerous enough for a little girl to run into the tunnel by herself, and you still want to provoke the monster?" What the hell do you think? ”
"Wow, wow, wow The girl struggled weakly. "But, if left unchecked, the guide light will break."
"There's no one like Chase anymore to let a little girl do such a thing." Ike muttered a few words and withdrew his hand from the little girl's head. "You're a repairman too?"
"Ah, yes! I learned from my mother and grandfather. The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Then hurry up and fix it." Ike pointed to the broken guide light behind him.
"Ahh The little girl bowed slightly to Ike and hurried to the guiding light.
It didn't take long to repair, and it didn't take long for the girl to come over.
"Fixed?"
"Yes! Thanks to you. The girl said with some amusement.
"Then let's hurry up." Ike stood up and patted the dirt.
"That, big brother, my name is Titan, I'm an intern at Chase Studios, what's your name?"
The girl followed Ike closely and said at a trot.
"Ike, I'm a guerrilla." Ike replied.
"Eh~ No wonder it's so powerful."
"Please, I have nothing to do with the guerrillas." Ike was speechless, "But it's really amazing that you can become an intern in the workshop at such a young age, and the people I've seen are geniuses." ”
"Hehehe, where, I just learned a lot from my grandfather, and if I really fix it, I'll just be in a hurry." Titan said with some embarrassment. "Is Ike going to Chase?"
"Most of the people who go through this tunnel go to Chase." Ike shrugged, "I'm going to go find some acquaintances and ask something." ”
Ike chatted a little bit, and Titan was around Ike like a puppy, and he seemed to have the ability to be loved by children?
The tunnel wasn't long, and it didn't take long for Chase to come to me. Titan seemed to be in a hurry, and although he was reluctant, he thanked Ike and hurried towards the workshop.
“。。。 That workshop seems to be... "Looking at Titan, who boarded the big elevator and beckoned to him, "The intern of the central workshop... Nowadays, children are getting more and more terrible. Ike shook his head slightly, waving his hand at Titan. Turned around and walked into the rows of houses.
Chase is not big, but the house and the workshop are too complicated, so that first-time visitors often can't find a destination, but for Ike, it's not a problem, skillfully through the workshop, stopped at a dead end, looked around, made sure that there was no one, walked to the wall and lifted a brick, a secret door appeared in front of Ike's eyes.
"It's still that bad taste." Ike muttered, opened the secret door, and walked to the bottom, an iron gate appeared in front of him, and there was a faint guiding light on the door, the iron door was not locked, and the noise inside could be heard through the slightly open gap.
"I'm in~" Ike shouted and pushed the door open.
The bright lights seem to make people think that they have gone to another place instead of underground. The room was large, but it was full of machinery and equipment, like a waste disposal plant.
Ike expertly navigated the pile, through several rooms and hallways, to a room that was beeping.
"You're still the same old man, Doctor, and you should take away your rags once in a while." Ike spoke to the figure who was fiddling with a device. He sat down in his chair with a grin.
“!”
Before Ike could sit down, the foot of his chair creaked and broke in two.
"No, Doctor, you're doing this little thing again."
"Don't take me for you." The figure known as the Doctor stopped what he was doing, took off his goggles, and walked over to Ike, and when he walked in, he saw that he was an old man of sixty or seventy, but his spirit was like that of a young man, and he did not look like an old man at all.
After pouring himself a glass of water, he glanced at Ike, "You annoying guy won't come here if it's okay, what's the mess about?" ”
"I'm your big patron, Doctor, don't make me so worthless." Ike smiled wryly, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to see 'their' supreme technology." ”
"Hmph, if I didn't have the funds, where would I have their business." The old man's eyebrows furrowed, and he said disdainfully.
"So you can't actually apply it, who will give you money ... Okay, okay, I won't talk about it. Seeing that the old man was about to drive people away, Ike hurriedly waved his hand, "I said, Doctor, can you make a guide device that can resist the power of ancient relics?" ”
"Ancient relics?" The old man was stunned for a moment, put down his raised hand, and stared at Ike deadly. . . Have you encountered it? What kind of ancient relics are they? ”
"I feel like this force doesn't seem to matter if it's immobile in a room." Ike also said with some solemnity.
"Suppress ... THINK ABOUT ... If you can connect the wavelength with the ancient relics, you can do it, but the ancient relics have been searched by the church, where to find them... The old man stopped talking, stared at the scepter in Ike's hand, and hissed for air.
"I guessed it might be used, so I got it..."
"Aren't you afraid that the church will come and get you in trouble?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but I think it's just this, those guys shouldn't send too many knights over, as for one... I'm not that weak. Ike replied confidently.
“。。。 You're smart. The old man snatched the relic from Ike's hand and looked at it for a long time, "The details can only be known through the instrument." But with the original, you should be able to do it, but you may be the only one who can move. After all, the power of ancient relics involves reason, and what you have to do now, do you know what you are talking about? ”
"Is it out of reason? It's really in line with my style. Ike quietly touched the sword behind his back. There's probably a big move in Liber next, and I need your help. Ike bowed respectfully to the old man, "Then please, Dr. Epstein's unseen disciple, Dr. Carral." ”
