Chapter 638: Mecatok Appears
Re-inlaying the stone slab in the vacant place, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to the sound of mortise and tenon joints, I couldn't help but sigh to myself, this thing is really not so simple, before I had time to ask if I had completed the task of composing the head, I saw that the characters on the code suddenly flashed, and then converged into a stream of light and began to flow, first on the code, and then spread to the entire workshop.
All kinds of machinery that had been silent for a long time in the workshop came to life and began to operate with a clang. Chen Mo looked at the little dwarf in front of him, and before he could communicate with him, he was startled by something that suddenly appeared.
To be precise, this falling from the sky is not a thing, but a person, a dwarf. And he is also an acquaintance of the two, and it is the master craftsman Mekatok himself!
Ignoring Chen Mo and me to form a group, Mecatok, who appeared out of thin air, got up from the ground and began to chatter: "Hmph, these damn guys have trapped me in the space mezzanine for so long!" As a great craftsman, how could I, Mecatok, not come out? Haha, didn't I come out, hahaha. Well? Where am I? Oh yes, directional teleportation, it's supposed to be my workshop, no, is it possible that the Codex has been recovered? With that, he turned and looked over to the place where the code was inscribed.
Mecatok noticed that there were still people around him, quickly sorted out his makeup, cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and asked, "Huh?" What are you two doing here? If you don't have anything to do, you can go, I still have important things to do! ”
Chen Mo is okay, although he thinks it's a little ridiculous, but he can bear it, but the little dwarf next to him has already laughed unabashedly: "Hahahahaha, mentor, you are embarrassed enough, what are you doing, during your absence, we have found all the engineering guides, you just drove me away, it's not appropriate." ”
Mecatok's current appearance is indeed a bit miserable, not to mention the many torn clothes, even the lenses of the goggles that these gnomes have always been very precious have been broken, and even the hair and beard that Mercatok has carefully trimmed have scorched marks. However, after hearing my words to form the head, Mecatok was not angry, just coughed lightly and said: "You know what, I am dedicating my life to science and devoting myself to the most dangerous experiments, if it weren't for those damn guys calculating me, how could I be trapped in the space mezzanine!" ”
I looked at Mecatok with a smile and rubbed my hands and said, "Mentor, you see that you are all back, shall we send the reward, after all, we have even found the Codex." As he spoke, he pouted in the direction of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo understood, and then said: "Yes, Master Craftsman doesn't look like a cheater, if my guess is right, if we don't put the Codex in place, you might have to do another experiment in that space mezzanine?" ”
Chen Mo was right, if the engineering guide had not been put back in its place, many of the equipment in this workshop would not have been able to operate, and it was precisely because Chen Mo returned the code that Mecatok's positioning transmission received the signal and could further get out of trouble. Sure enough, after listening to Chen Mo's words, although Mecatok looked embarrassed, he didn't repay the account after all, and after twisting it, he still gave me a task reward to form the head, but Chen Mo's task was not to return the slate, and the task was not taken by Mecatok here, but what surprised him a little was that he still gained tens of thousands of experience here, which was a bit of an unexpected gain.
Looking at the happy appearance of the little dwarf beside him, Chen Mo knew that the guy around him must have gained a great benefit. But this is also normal, this level of task, if it is not for chance, it is too difficult to complete, not to mention that if he is unlucky and does not run into himself, and he has already returned the slate, his task reward can be regarded as a waste. Although Chen Mo helped the other party complete this task, after all, he was not the one who carried the Entu report, and he didn't ask the other party what reward he had received, but this little dwarf was an open person and took the initiative to talk about it.
I'll make up the head: "Silence, you've helped a lot this time, but the rewards for the tasks on my side are all engineering materials, and it's useless to give them to you, but I have written down this favor I owe you, and I can use it in the future, just say it." ”
Chen Mo took a look, this is good, and immediately said: "Don't go later, I have a note now, and I'll tell you later." Seeing that your relationship with the master craftsman is not ordinary, I think there may be a drama. But let's put this on for now, you should first ask the master craftsman where he was trapped before, maybe there is still a task to take over. ”
The little dwarf patted his head in response, and continued to talk to Mecatok. It turned out that the space mezzanine in the mouth of this master craftsman was actually a half-plane, but according to their ideas, it was changed to a more "scientific and technological" title. The reason why Mecatok disappeared was because he was experimenting on a half-plane when he suddenly received a distress signal, which, according to the content of the signal, was a distress call unique to their gnomes. As for the content of the call for help, it is said that there was an accident during teleportation, and he was trapped in the half-plane, and the space landmark was lost and he could not return on his own.
Speaking of which, this is not a big deal, as long as he goes over and sends a Nosnuman space marker to the other party, he doesn't even need to help them return, and he doesn't delay his experiment, so he rushed over following the spatial coordinates of the distress signal. However, when he arrived at the place, he found that there was nothing here, and he was a little puzzled after returning to Norsnuman and made some inquiries, and after this investigation, he found that during his absence, not only was the engineering guide stolen, but also there was a war with the Terrans, and it was he himself who gave the war order, and they did have dozens of craftsmen trapped in the space mezzanine during the war.
Feeling that something was wrong, Mecatok immediately ordered a reduction in his forces, and no one was allowed to conduct any military operations without authorization. Then he returned to the location marked on the original call for help and looked carefully to see if he could find any clues to free his trapped companions.
Who would have thought, this is good, just arrived at the previous place, I found that the half-plane around me had been divided, and the half-plane I was in was divided, simply put, I was trapped, if I put it in normal times, it was not a big problem, but the engineering guide was stolen, and many of the equipment in my workshop could not operate, and I didn't have enough energy to break through this half-plane and re-establish the teleportation channel, and I was a little passive, so that How could he not guess that someone was deliberately targeting him. Although the various puppet machines he carried on his body could protect himself, he was worried that someone would take advantage of his absence to issue some instructions in his own name, so he tried various ways to try to return, and even did not hesitate to expose himself to the turbulence of space, which would make him so embarrassed.
