Chapter 164: Final Preparations

"So, we'll see you later. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" Maffeo beckoned to the three of them, and he would never go to the tavern with them at such a time. What's more, at this time, he was still covered with the sea water of the sky and the sea, and the feeling of his clothes sticking to his body just wanted him to take a shower as soon as possible and then sit in front of the fireplace and drink a cup of coffee.

After watching Maffeo disappear around the corner, the trio walked side by side towards the Ice Dragon Tavern. Marcos reminded Carl of what he and Blackburn needed to do, but the latter waved his hand lightly. He at least thought he could have a drink with Marcos and Randall at this time. It was the best way to relax his body, and he wasn't in a hurry to settle everything at once.

"I must admit that the amazing sights I saw today forced me to start re-examining the world. Marcos shook the glass in his hand and said with interest.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it?" Randall and the two clinked glasses, then drank the rum from the cup.

"Yes, but we all have to be prepared. It's not a tourist attraction in it, and judging from the fact that the three of us went in to reconnoitre, the danger is always around us. Marcos also drank the wine in his glass, which he rarely drank in this way, and wondered if it was because of what he had experienced today that made him a little nervous.

Randall placed his wine glass on the table and gave a thumbs up to the tavern door. "We had no problem, just tell us what time we were going. ”

"It depends on how long my friend needs to prepare. Marcos turned his gaze to Karl.

"Are you going to do something weird this time?" Randall had already guessed what Marcos was referring to, and he turned his gaze to Karl as well.

Carl hadn't said a word since he arrived at the tavern, and the water level of his glass had never been lowered. Until he was tapped the shoulder by Marcos, "Blackburn and I may still need a few days, the construction of the Viper Cannon is not too complicated, with his help I will complete it as soon as possible." ”

"I'm really looking forward to it. Marcos filled his glass with rum again, then clinked glasses to Carl with the glass in his hand.

Carl couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and at the same time picked up the wine glass that had not been touched. "Cheers. ”

"Cheers. ”

"So, what is that suspended city?" Randall voiced his own question, but it was clear that none of those present could answer his question.

Marcos shook his head, "I don't know. ”

Carl fell silent once more, and Randall's words undoubtedly struck him in the heart again. Marcos seems to have noticed Carl's strangeness, in fact, in the previous Sky City, Marcos had already paid attention to Carl's actions. "What's the matter, Carl, do you know something?"

"Listen, we just need to focus on that palace now, okay? If you want to know the answer to that suspended city, then I'm sorry I don't know much about it, just a little familiar with it. Karl patiently finished the above sentence.

Marcos said incredulously, "Really, are you sure?"

"Very confirming. ”

"Okay. Marcos spread his hands.

In any case, under the influence of all the accidents, all that everyone needs to do is to be unaffected by those accidents and focus their attention completely on the palace. It was the final destination of their trip, and it was about whether Carl and Freya would be able to make it back to the Celestial Realm through there, so it was important for everyone.

Fett finally convinced Captain Rout to let the Revolutionary Army help the adventurers to some extent. But in fact, if it weren't for a piece of useful information, Captain Rout might not have agreed to Fett's request so smoothly.

That information was unexpectedly provided by Kakun, and that's what he is. Sometimes it's reliable, sometimes it's not, but you don't have to doubt his ability. As a dark elf, the ability to spy on intelligence is something that most humans don't have. No one knew what he was doing this, but for him, he just wanted to simply dissociate himself from the Revolutionary Army, and he didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Army.

The Imperial Army may finally be about to embark on their final operations on the West Coast, and there is no doubt that their purpose is the same as that of the adventurers and mercenaries who explored Sky City: the Celestial Realm. Marcos's suspicion was confirmed, and although the information did not describe the plans of the Imperial Army in detail, what was known was that they would complete the exploration of the Sky City within half a month.

The help of the Revolutionary Army became a matter of significance, and the Legion of the Sacred Oracle sent a request for cooperation to Captain Rout almost at the same time. Although they say they are helping, they are actually targeting Isabella, the third princess of the empire. But in order not to show their inner dissatisfaction on the surface, at least the alliance formed by the adventurers and mercenaries and the revolutionary army have been on good terms so far.

After several days and nights of manufacturing, Carl and Blackburn finally finished building the Ex-s Viper Cannon. Freya also prepared a large amount of ammunition for it at the right time, and after disassembling the Viper Cannon and taking it to the suburbs to reassemble for test firing, the three of them were able to truly relax.

Since it was impossible for the two of them to carry the complete Viper Cannon all the way into the palace, they chose to break it up and bring it into the Sky City. But that meant the two of them needed to be a humanoid mule, as the parts could almost crush their bodies.

Although Blackburn would love to go inside Sky City, and he said that he would be able to relieve Carl and Freya of the pressure somewhat, he couldn't bear to watch the two of them carry the heavy parts on their backs. However, considering that Blackburn was not good at fighting, Carl and Freya refused Blackburn's request. This frustrates the latter.

"Hey, friends. Marcos stood in front of the doorway of Blackburn's house. "It's funny that the mercenaries and adventurers even formed a temporary alliance for this cooperation. He lit a cigarette. "Tell me you're done. ”

"It went very well. Freya laughed.

After seeing Marcos, without waiting for Carl's stop, Blackburn couldn't wait to run to the door to ask Marcos's opinion. "Mr. Cheney, I would like you to take me with you if you can. ”

"Take you?" said Marcos, a little strangely, not yet understanding what Blackburn meant. "About what?"

"Take me into Sky City, I really want to see what it's like inside, otherwise my life will become very regrettable. ”

Marcos laughed, "There's nothing wrong with that, Blackburn. ”

Blackburn almost jumped for joy: "Really? I really appreciate you, Mr. Cheney. ”

With rare impatience, Karl walked to the door and said to Marcos: "No, he is not good at fighting, and we can't guarantee his safety in the first place if he encounters danger." ”

"I can protect myself, Mr. Cheney. Blackburn hurriedly said to Marcos.

"Everyone has the right to choose, Carl. Marcos didn't care about Carl's words at all, and he hooked Blackburn by the neck. "Come on, Blackburn, Maffeo is still waiting for us to eat the pudding. After taking a few steps forward, Marcos seemed to remember something, so he turned back and said loudly, "By the way, they said that the scheduled departure time is the morning after tomorrow." So don't think about anything, try to relax yourself and have fun. ”

Carl stood still, wordlessly looking at Blackburn and Marcos's fading backs. Freya whispered from the side, "Okay, Mr. Lawless, trust him." ”
