Chapter 023: The Boy Here
Qin Shi has an interest in everything in the Sunset City. After getting close to this place, Qin Shi realized that the ancient city seemed to be really made of metal. It's just that the whole building is integrated, and there is no trace of metal patchwork.
The ancient continent of Egypt was a backward and isolated place. The large metal objects that Qin Shi had seen, such as pontoons, were basically made of one piece after another of metal structures, covered with dense rivets, rough and clumsy, stupid and black, and could not be compared with the construction technology of the Sunset City at all.
Qin Shi wanted to verify the guess in his heart, so he was urged to go on the road. I had to follow the large team and move forward slowly.
Sunset City is like a labyrinth. After climbing over the city wall, you can enter the castle, and when you look up, you can no longer see the sky, and the view is blocked by the layers of buildings.
Surrounded by large and small roads, leading to different places, perhaps the end or intersection of these roads is the final destination of the team's trip.
"It's a labyrinth."
Yin Sa cleared his throat, and his voice was a little shaky: "Where should we go?" ”
Sophia had come to her on Blackie. This little guy doesn't seem to be willing to walk for a single step, and he is letting the hyena king walk on his behalf.
"According to the relevant records of the Holy See, the city of sunset is a city of miracles created by the Lord God, with a total of twelve floors, each representing a different world. During the Dark Ages, twelve warriors joined hands in this place, and each of them got their own chance here, eventually becoming the brightest star of the era. ”
Yin Sa nodded, not questioning Sophia's words. This was one of the countless versions of the countless legends of the Twelve Wise Kings of the Dark Ages, and she had naturally heard of it.
The information recorded in the secret archives of the Holy See should be more credible. After all, the first pope was one of the twelve wise kings.
"These twelve warriors have all received a key. Only those who get the key can enter the real world of Sunset City, otherwise they won't get real benefits," Sophia gently pulled off the necklace around her neck, shook it at Yin Sa, and said, "Sister Yin, I believe you also have the key, right?!" ”
Yin Sa smiled slightly, nodded silently. She does have the key, but Yin Tang's inheritance in this regard has long been cut off, and the goshawk brought her this token, and she didn't know how to use it before.
After listening to Sophia's words this time, it dawned on me, and finally understood why my father would open the city of sunset to outsiders.
Even if Sunset City was open to all the aliens in the galaxy world, they would get nothing when they came in.
Only the family that has obtained the twelve sages* can benefit from this adventure. And no matter what the benefits of these families and expeditions were, they would eventually be taken away by Yin Tang. It can be said that Yin Tang sat on the ground to make money, and his means were very clever. If you are bold and dark-hearted, transfer a fleet to pretend to be star thieves, and wipe out these expeditions, it will be even more profitable.
It's just that the consequences of doing so are also unbearable for Yin Tang. If something happens to the expedition team in this star field, there is no need to think about it, and only Yin Tang has such strength, and then Yin Tang will be the enemy of the whole world and attack it in groups.
"Separated, or together?"
Yin Sa asked Sophia.
"Together, of course." Sophia blinked, flashed a hint of cunning, and said, "Since the Holy See has decided to cooperate with Yin Tang, then we have no harm in maximizing the interests of both sides. Exploring these two floors together will definitely be more rewarding than going where you can go. ”
"That's right."
Yin Sa had a satisfied smile on his face and said, "My key should be able to open the sixth layer." ”
"What a coincidence, I was able to open the fifth floor!"
Sophia smiled innocently: "Then we can go to the fifth layer first, and then go up to the sixth floor!" ”
Yin Sa naturally has no opinion. Just looking at Sophia's eyes, she was secretly wary in her heart. Although this little girl smiled like a flower, her eyes were as cold as frost.
"The church cubs are so ruthless......"
Yin Sa thought secretly in his heart.
While the two were talking, Qin Shi's attention was always on the surrounding buildings. After rolling his eyes, he was slightly stunned.
Old Kennan had left the area where everyone was armed, and stood in front of a wall in the ancient city, stretching out his hand to rub against the wall, his back was very gloomy.
"Uncle Kennan."
Qin Shi walked in front of Old Kenan, and I don't know when he started to call the other party Old Kennan, but called him like Uncle Martin.
“…… Hmmm......"
Kennan Sr. didn't look back, his rough palms still resting on the wall. The expression was a little gloomy: "Sure enough, it won't leave a trace......"
Kennan Sr. said with some self-deprecation.
"Huh?" Qin Shi didn't understand the meaning of Old Kainan's words.
Kennan Sr. didn't explain either.
In this case, it was not easy for Old Kenan to tell Qin Shi that he had been to this place before, and before this wall, the names of several of his other companions had been engraved.
At that time, they were also teenagers like the wind.
The teenagers like the wind also rose like the wind, leaving countless legends in the vast sea of stars.
"I didn't expect to come back."
Kennan Sr. was a little sad. When he heard a rare old boy in his ear, he asked the young man who led him to the sea of stars: "Big brother, where are we going?" ”
"Elven Sea, Kill Ode......"
"In case we never go back......"
"Then never go back......"
"What to do at home......
"It will find the ...... of the new owner"
"My silly brother yo ......"
Old Kennan sighed to himself: "I don't blame you at all, why don't you want to meet with me...... Brothers are thinking about you......"
At that time, when he left home, he was a young man with dusty faces and temples like frost.
"Uncle Kennan?"
Seeing that Old Kennan was getting more and more sad, Qin Shi hurriedly patted his arm.
"It's okay, I remember some old things."
Kennan Sr. relieved himself, his expression and tone instantly returned to normal, and asked, "When was the last time you saw that Lomartin?" ”
Qin Shi's brows furrowed slightly. I don't know what Kennan Sr. means when he asks Uncle Martin.
It's just that Uncle Martin's identity is not special, he is a hunter, and in addition, he can smelt some rough metal tools, and saying that he is a blacksmith is considered a lift, after all, most of the time, he is drunk and asked him to help repair some equipment, and I don't know how long it will take to repair it. The personality is good, and he is kind to everyone, and it is not easy to make enemies with him.
After thinking for a while, Qin Shi said, "On the day I met you, I separated from him earlier. Qin Shi gestured his hands and said, "I have a broken small pontoon, I want to learn some maintenance methods from him." ”
Kenan listened to the explanation, and then it became clear that the reason why Qin Shi appeared on the wasteland that night was because he had asked Luo Martin before to ask him how to repair the broken steam engine of the small pontoon.
After receiving Luo Martin's guidance, Qin Shi went to the wasteland to find an ore that could smelt a certain metal additive, and only by adding a certain percentage of ore could the steam engine wear resistance be enhanced and not often damaged.
And Lomartin pointed him out where to look for the ore. At the same time, he also told him that if someone was looking for him, if the other party could take out an ancient coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, then take someone to meet him. Otherwise, don't bother.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
When Old Kennan heard this, he grabbed Qin Shi's arm in a bit of anger.
He was thrilled. Because he was sure that the man Lomartin was referring to was him!
