Chapter 660: Zito is dead
The two of them wandered outside Robben City until dawn, and only then did they roughly understand the reason for the sudden closure of Robben City.
It is said that a loud noise suddenly sounded in the middle of the afternoon in the city, but the source of the noise is disputed, some say it was the residence of the Marquis of Robben, others say it was the library of Serco.
Is it loud?
Luna's eyes gleamed with a faint glow.
"Could that loud noise be the same as the one you made on the border of Feather Nation?" asked Barry as he watched Luna hang her head and was silent.
"I don't know if it's exactly the same, but it's about the same. I'm afraid there are not only scholars in this Robben City......" Luna looked at the soldiers on the high city walls, their armor and shaking all night.
Just looking at it from such a distance, she knew that this Robben City was only afraid that it would be far more troublesome than she expected.
The soldiers at the head of the city were all wearing a lot of high-quality deformed steel armor, and judging from the luster it exuded, Luna even suspected that almost every set of armor was infused with at least one piece of deformed steel, such a big deal, except for the royal court, even the guards of the royal city could not do it.
Since the second half of last night, as it has been today, Luna has quietly calculated that the number of soldiers who have changed guards alone is no less than a hundred, plus the soldiers patrolling the underground flood channel in the map in her mind.
The number of soldiers in this Robben City alone, if not 10,000, must be thousands, at least more than half of the number of soldiers that can be owned by the laws of the Snow Wolf Country in the fief of Marquis Robben.
Although these must not be achieved overnight in a short period of time, with such a large number of soldiers, the daily maintenance of the armor alone cannot be satisfied by a craftsman who can repair a set of deformed steel armor in a few days, and the only thing that can be said is ......
"You mean there's an alchemist in the city?" Barry looked at Luna's eyes full of worry as he heard this.
"I guess it's not a few. Luna didn't pay attention to this, and in her voice, in addition to condensation, there was a hint of excitement that even she didn't know she knew.
Although alchemists are not deified or demonized on this continent, the number of alchemists has always been extremely rare due to the limitations of financial and material resources and the low popularity of writing, so the small group of "alchemists"? Inexplicably, it was covered with a veil of mystery.
Actually? In Luna's opinion, this group of people is just a group of people with a vague understanding of physics and chemistry? Ignorant and fearless "madmen".
Of course? These people who have developed a desire to explore some strange things early on? If you use it well, it's an absolute talent.
Like what? When in Hakoku? The supposedly indestructible steel of Nedtra that locked Samuel was the product of alchemy.
And on the other hand, if it is not constrained? This group of ignorant and fearless? Anyone who dares to mix everything together and see what reaction will happen will also become a disaster.
In fact, Luna has always asked her subordinates to pay attention to looking for such a strange talent, but the small group of alchemists, I don't know if it is in the torrent of history? Have you suffered too much incomprehension and hurt, or is it a bit of a trick? Anyway, after all these years, she has never been caught by a living alchemist? I have heard a lot of rumors that have been fabricated.
Thinking about this? Luna looked at Robben and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and brush the corners of her mouth.
What if there were alchemists in this city? What are her plans for the future? It may well be a minor nuisance, but if it hadn't, Luna felt that she would be completely disappointed in the city......
After all, Robben City, where scholars gather, is not worthy of its name if it only has some mouthful of cannons that are good at agitating people's hearts under the guise of philosophy, right?
"Luna, you can't get in now......" Barry took a deep breath and reminded Luna as he stared at the gates of Robben City, apparently looking like she was about to rush over in the next moment.
Luna nodded, not denying what Barry said.
Even if she now has another reason to urge her to explore Robben City in addition to Howard in distress, she also understands that with her current physical condition in estrus, even if she digs a hole in the ground, she can't sneak in.
However, she is not in a hurry, alchemists are rare, as long as there are people, she can find them sooner or later, and now the top priority is to confirm Howard's situation.
Looking at the vital sign data in her mind, Howard was no longer falling, but there was no improvement, and the spot of light that represented the location of the detector in the many points of light, Luna furrowed her brow slightly.
Howard's position hadn't changed since the sound of the chime in her head, which was definitely not good news for Luna or the unconscious Howard.
Just as Luna racked her brains about how to contact Earl Orr in the city, Alpha's voice suddenly rang out.
"Master, Zito is dead. ”
Luna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask:
"What's going on?"
"According to the initial data collected, the sub-vine could not survive this year, and at least three years ago, it had lost the ability to mine, and according to the continuous data changes transmitted by the probe, as well as the analysis of the changes in the vital signs of the probe carrier, the sub-vine should have died of high temperatures. ”
Alpha explained as he pulled up Howard and the vine's vital sign data.
The data belonging to Howard, because the situation is temporarily stable, most of the values are bright purple, a small number of values are blue, and a small bright purple dot beats slowly, indicating that Howard's heart is still beating.
The data belonging to the vines that were taken away from the creature ship back then showed a dark purple color as a whole, and the corresponding position of Howard's heartbeat was an incomplete outline of a vine with teeth and claws, even if it had been judged dead by Alpha, the outline of the vine had been eliminated little by little.
"High temperature......" Luna tightened as she stared at the fading silhouette of the vine.
She knew very well that Zito was the restoration of the biological ship, and the biological ship that could travel in space was absolutely extraordinary in terms of temperature tolerance, but now this ......
Being able to keep sending back the vines means that Howard's position is not willing to be far from the vines, and the heat that can scorch the vines little by little, even if the vines are already dying......
Luna could hardly think about it anymore......
Barry, who had been keeping an eye on Luna, suddenly turned pale when he saw Luna's eyes distracted, and he couldn't help but push Luna.
