"Looks like you've made it safe...... Wait, what is a roller coaster? ”

Empress Emily breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly remembered a strange term that the other party had just said, and asked subconsciously.

"A similar kind of motorized amusement equipment, designed so that the body of the car is on the air track, and the mode of operation is to move back and forth...... It's mainly a facility where people in my hometown are looking for fun and excitement. ”

Mo Chen explained casually, and by the way, he stretched out his slender index finger and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

He felt that his spiritual power had obviously been depleted, and this was because he had lowered the level of the spiritual illusion he had just cast as much as possible, only misleading his attention on the surface, and did not involve deep consciousness interference.

Otherwise, such a large-scale group mental disturbance just now would directly drain at least one-third of his mental power.

This made him feel that his "foundation" was still far from enough, or that his mental strength was actually only limited to ordinary people, so this aspect also needed to be strengthened and improved in the future.

"Looking for excitement...... Rides? ”

Empress Emily half-guessed and half-confused roughly understood what this sentence meant, and her brows couldn't help but twist up, only to feel that some of her conjectures had been confirmed again.

So, her eyelids couldn't help jumping wildly, and she suddenly felt a strong unreality-

After all, even on the streets of one of the few industrialized cities in the Empire, the construction of railcars was a very important part of the Empire's transportation planning.

Not only does it require huge manpower and material resources, but the progress is far away and difficult to popularize.

Even in the capital, Danwall, there is no way to do a good job of laying rail cars on every main street, but it is scheduled to be completed gradually over the next five years.

As for the aerial tracks that are not laid directly on the ground, but are overhead, these are even more rare, and the cost is so high that people can't believe it.

Under such circumstances, Empress Emily could not have imagined the level of civilization in the place where she had studied and developed amusement facilities in this area.

It seems to be more confident than the most civilized empire in the known world, and not just ten times eight times the difference?

She opened her mouth, but she wanted to say and stopped, and finally frowned and didn't ask, she still had some suspicions, thinking that this was the other party's exaggeration.

With the piercing sound of "clang", the rail car continued to climb and slide, and under the impetus of some kind of power, it moved forward along the winding air track, slowly approaching the upper Avatar area from the lower Avatar area.

Of course, it didn't go so smoothly and I took the roller coaster and sang songs to the clockwork mansion of Jindosh, in fact, the destination was still at the terminal farther away.

Now the two of them have only arrived at the station in the Upper Avatar area, and the road to continue is blocked by iron fences, and the rail car cannot move forward, so it can only stop at this station first.

There is a building near the station, which is the headquarters of the Davidians, who were sent by the new duke to protect the clockwork mansion, from which the guards are on duty, and there are also groups of guards patrolling near the station.

However, Mo Chen decisively used the mental illusion again to mislead his attention, and then unabashedly got out of the car directly with Her Majesty the Empress and walked to the console next to the blocked gate in front.

The console is supposed to control the door next to it, and once opened, it will be able to reach the final destination, the Clockwork Mansion, directly through the rail car.

However, the console seems simple, but you need to enter a password.

There was also a somewhat scribbled handwritten notice posted next to it, Mo Chen glanced at it casually, only to see that it read:

"I know no one has taken discipline seriously for a few years, especially this year, but I would like to remind you that you are not allowed to write down the gate code and put it in a place where anyone who passes by the office can see it. There is a reason why these passwords are restricted to Team Davidian members. ”

"When you have read the password and memorized it, you must destroy the code strip. You may not care about your rank or position, but if something happens to Jindoshi, we will all be arrested and shot at the Grand Palace. ”

"—Major Alain Bipromisesh."

He raised his eyebrows, then looked at Her Majesty the Empress, and asked softly, "What should I do, do I walk directly from here, or do I find a way to find the gate code inside that building?" ”

"I'll look for it, if it doesn't work, I'll just go away."

Empress Emily made a decisive decision, and then she turned to look at Mo Chen, and said involuntarily-

"I'll do it this time, Mr. Mystery, you can rest for a while."

“……”

“……”

"Well, well, that's fine, but are you really sure, Your Majesty?" Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and bowed slightly, but asked with some unease.

Emily didn't answer, just took a deep breath and turned her head to look at the building. However, the scene that Mo Chen expected did not appear, she did not launch magic vines to pull herself over all at once.

Rather—

Darkness suddenly fell, Mo Chen looked around, and found that the light was not weakened, but his vision was suddenly dyed with some kind of strange darkness.

The shadow at Emily's feet seemed to suddenly come to life, slowly wriggling and twisting like an elongated snake, and her own body was rapidly spreading into some kind of black vine-like pattern, and it spread rapidly.

In just a second or two, she went from a flesh-and-blood complete female body to a three-dimensional sense, and no longer looked like a human being, not even a living being.

It looks like nothing, because she's ...... From a three-dimensional world, to a two-dimensional plane.

There are no eyes, no hands or feet, nothing, nothing but a surging darkness, a shadow that is constantly stretching and changing.

However, this "shadow" seems to be adapting to the change, slowly stretching and surging, and finally under Mo Chen's strange gaze, it has successfully changed from an irregular shadow to the shadow outline of Empress Emily.

Then, the "shadow" hovered quickly, as if adjusting to the feeling of a new two-dimensional plane.

Eventually, after determining its orientation, it silently swept swiftly towards the building like the shadow of a swimming fish passing under the surface of the water.

The ground is under the water, or all the two-dimensional planes are areas where the "shadow" can move, and Mo Chen watched as it quickly touched the wall of the building, and then slid up along the surface of the wall.

Without anyone noticing, he had already disappeared into a window on the second floor.

“……”

“……”

After witnessing such a scene completely, after a few seconds, Mo Chen nodded and smacked his lips, and said with a general feeling:

"Tut-tut, what a miracle, it seems that she put all the previous ancient runes into this magic? Is this "shadow walking"? ”

He was half sentimental, half joyful.

Because he had just turned on the Void Perception in time, he had clearly captured the entire process of Emily using magic to transform herself into a shadow state.

The operation of the magic, the echo of the void, the mysterious interaction of the environment, and the handling of details...... Mo Chen clearly captured it all through the void perception.

It may not allow him to recreate the magical power form that belongs to Empress Emily, but it will certainly allow him to avoid detours when necessary in the future.

He withdrew the magic that had been disturbed by a wide range of psychic illusions, then found a place in the shadows, teleported over at once, and then hid himself.

In this way, he gave enough patience and waited slowly.

After about five minutes or so, he suddenly felt a familiar and vague wave of magic break through the edge of his perceptual realm.

Then after a few more seconds, he noticed that the shadows beside him began to move abnormally, and then the next-

A "shadow" suddenly stood up beside Mo Chen, as if a person jumped up from lying flat on the ground without warning, and entered the three-dimensional world from the two-dimensional plane in one fell swoop.

The pitch-black "shadow" seems to be just a paper man, and it doesn't even have a three-dimensional effect.

However, this unreal feeling is rapidly fading, and a certain sense of existence is taking its place, filling in the entities and details of the "shadow".

In just a second or two, it changed from a rough humanoid black shadow silhouette back to Empress Emily.

"Alright, I've found the password, reuse your interference magic, let's go."

She said calmly, as if she had only done something insignificant.

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, let out a long sigh, and then stood up and once again cast the magic ability of a wide range of spiritual illusions-

Then they succeeded in opening the closed gate, and got on the "clang" rail car, and left in style without the Davidian guards next to them unaware.

Without knowing anything, the defenses had been easily breached by the Assassins.

When they were arrested and shot after the matter was exposed, they must have been very confused, and I am afraid that they will be fools until they die.

……

……

Clockwork House is the residence of Kirin Jindoshi in the Upper Avatar district of Karnaca.

This huge mechanical mansion sits on a relatively high hill surrounded by dense forests overlooking the city.

As the residence of the great inventors of Sokonos, the Clockwork Mansion is heavily guarded and surrounded by several roads leading to the surrounding area. But there is only one way to enter the mansion, and that is the main entrance.

However, the first few sections of the road to the mansion were still guarded by the Davids.

When you approach the Clockwork Mansion, you will find that there are no guards nearby, only part of the mansion is still inside, and the main defense work has been handed over to Jindoshi's own clockwork warriors.

"Clockwork Warriors are sold to nobles and friends of the new duke, and although they are sold in limited quantities, individual ones are extremely expensive, but because of this, their information is not kept secret......

Descending from the rail car, Mo Chen and Empress Emily began to make their way up the long spiral staircase, towards the huge mansion on the top of the hill higher up.

"As robots, Clockwork Warriors are more efficient than normal human guards, and as long as they have whale oil left over from their power source, they can work without food or rest."

"Wound warriors with bladed arms are agile, extremely dexterous, and fast. They can also directly discharge, killing enemies on the spot, or temporarily stunning enemies, depending on the user's command. ”

"All in all, it is extremely dangerous, if you are not sure, Your Majesty, it is better not to confront them head-on, use your own advantages to retreat, and it is the most correct ...... to maneuver"

Looking at the huge mansion at the end of his sight, Mo Chen said in a somewhat unclear tone.

"Later, if you can, it should be the best choice to catch Jin Duoxi directly, but I don't think he should leave such obvious flaws, so I still have to act on the opportunity."

“……”

Empress Emily nodded silently.
