Chapter 1 The Longest Day of My Life

When Wood returned to Keele, he received two more important pieces of news. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One is that Charlotte issued the same ultimatum as he did, allowing the entire Middle Slavery system to collapse quickly.

Thanks to His Highness, he felt very moved.

The second is also related to Charlotte, that is, she has led the team to the fifth stage without warning.

At night, Wood stayed in his room to sort out his papers, slowly frowning.

First of all, the borders of hell, the banks of the River Styx, the road to heaven...... There are so many possibilities that he can't prepare them all.

And for some reason, he always felt like they were going to experience something different, very different.

Time passed slowly, and it was past twelve o'clock. Wood, who still hadn't slept, rubbed his temples with a headache, then left the table and went to the window, looking at the starry sky and losing his mind.

"What do you want?" A warm body came up to him, and his voice was soft and shy.

Wood grabbed the jade hand on his body, the ring was beautiful in the moonlight, and the hand was even more beautiful. He couldn't help but kiss it.

"I'm wondering how to wake you up and do bad things to you. With that, he turned around and hugged the seductive girl in the nightdress and began to kiss wildly.

As long as Wood is at home, ...... every night Sometimes it's daytime, and I do that kind of shameful thing anyway. So, Jessica is still a little shy now, but she has learned how to respond.

She closed her eyes with a blush and kissed passionately. Let the big hands wander on her body, and at the same time, she also took the initiative to stretch out her small hands, and helped the man untie the nightgown with some trembling.

The bad guy pressed her to the bed, her eyes misty, but her head wasn't completely blank. Once again, she took the initiative to reach out and hug the man she loved so much.

"Don't ...... Don't make it too ...... Too loud, Betty...... Miss Betty is next door...... Hmmm......"

The next day, Wood didn't wake up until noon, partly because he had slept late the previous night, and secondly because he was a little tired.

After waking up, she didn't flirt with Jessica, who was very tired, kissed the girl, washed and ate as usual, and then began to organize a team to go to the fifth stage.

In addition to the ten people who went to the fourth stage last time, this time Lucy and Hisna and Fiy were added. Lucy and Cisna can definitely make it to the fifth stage, but Fay......

"If you take my hand, you should be able to bring me in. She said confidently to Wood.

After a few more days of preparation, the banner of the Crown of Thorns was once again erected above the Adventurers' Guild, fluttering in the wind as spring officially began.

......

Gomez is a very ordinary student, with an ordinary body and appearance, and he is also an ordinary middle of his studies. But he must do something very unusual today!

Hurried out of the city, he loaded the parts he bought with the money he had saved and bargained with the boss onto the cannon, and after repeatedly checking that it should be okay, he took a deep breath and pressed the button!

Covering his ears and crouching behind him, his expression full of anticipation. But as time passed, the expected cannonball still didn't pop out of the cannon, and he slowly became a little lost, and after a while, he became very angry.

Walking quickly to the cannon, he kicked the cannon's ass in anger.

Boom!

But what he never expected was that this kick actually kicked the cannonball out! He excitedly watched as the cannonball drew a graceful arc in the air and slowly fell......

Wait!How can there be anyone in this place?!

"Run!" But before he could finish shouting, the cannonball had already reached the heads of the group, and the next moment there was an explosion that he had dreamed of.

But now he very much wanted the shell to be a fake, but it was obviously impossible, and the wind and waves caused by the explosion knocked him to the ground and made him cry.

It's hard to be expelled from school, but it's still enduring. The most uncomfortable thing is that he has not yet become a great engineer, and he has already borne the name of a murderer!

After a while, "This is powerful, not bad." As the voice sounded, a hand appeared in front of his eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he instinctively grabbed his hand and was pulled up by the man who suddenly came to him.

"Hello, my name is Wood, and I'm from the mountains...... A lost man. Wood smiled and scratched his head, trying to be friendly.

Gomez nodded his head, then quickly withdrew his hand and took a few steps forward, and he wanted to cry again when he saw the smoke of the explosion that had not yet fully dispersed.

Is this a dream? With a snap, he gave himself a hard slap. The voice was crisp and powerful, and his face hurt to death. Well, it's really not a dream!

"Are you worried about seeing corpses lying inside after the smoke clears?" Wood smiled as if reading his thoughts.

"That's right. Gomez nodded.

"You're worried about that, because we were the ones who were just hit by your shells. Wood kept smiling and said something scary.

Gomez turned his head suddenly, and looked at the costumes of this group of road idiots very carefully, there was some dust, but no matter how you look at it, there are traces of explosion!

"All the people in our village are strong and strong, and although your cannonball is okay, it is a piece of cake for us shield-wielding warriors. Wood patted Sisot's shield as he spoke.

As if to say, if you listen to this sound, it's definitely not a bargain.

Still not convinced, Gomez swallowed his saliva and went straight into the smoke with the fear of seeing the corpse. But until the smoke cleared, he couldn't find a drop of blood or a single piece of rag.

"Well? I didn't lie to you. "Wood crouched beside the pit and looked laid-back.

Gomez only believed a little at this time, either it was a dream just now, or this group of road idiots and savages really took the physical route.

"Hello, I'm Gomez, a sophomore at the Imperial Academy of Mechanics. He held out his hand and shook Wood's hand.

"Hello, introduce myself again, my name is Wood, and these are the most elite warriors in our village...... Including these two little girls, one is my daughter, and the other is the most powerful and only landowner in our village. ”

Gomez was stunned when he heard this passage, and he could only nod in the fog, pretending to understand.

If he gets to the bottom of it, he definitely has reason to believe that this man will fool himself into not finding the north. Let's just believe that they are from some isolated village.

"I'm sorry for the shell just now......" He was still thinking about how to apologize, and the familiar man had already put his hand on his shoulder.

"It's nothing, just invite us to have a good meal!" Wood, who took the initiative to hook his shoulder, looked very generous, but Gomez's face twitched.

He doesn't have much money left for this month!

But no matter what, this meal can't be escaped, he can only smile bitterly and lead everyone to the city in the distance.

"This is the royal capital of the Ronald Empire, Ronald City, and the oldest mechanical city. ”

"City of Machines?" Wood took two steps forward, frowning slightly.

"Yes, City of Machines. Gomez gestured to the spaceship flying in the air.

All the adventurers stopped and looked at the ship in the sky with a look of astonishment. Huge spaceships flew over their heads, blocking out the sun and leaving them in the shadows.

There were several flames spewing from the back of the ship, a steel body with transparent windows on both sides, and people in the ship...... All of this is too technological!

Gomez was confused for a moment, and he didn't look back at Lucy until the ship disappeared from view.

"Don't you have machines in your village......? What's the matter with your daughter?"

Wood finally withdrew his gaze and stopped smiling.

"Excuse me, can you tell us a little bit about that?"

......

It's a world that lives on mechanical technology, and everything about machines permeates everyone's life.

In addition to the ordinary machines used every day, there are also some military weapons.

For example, Gomez's immature cannon just now is a simplified military cannon. Interestingly, although there are three empires on this continent, they all have good relations with each other, and many times they fend off foreign enemies together.

The point is this foreign enemy, and from Gomez's words, Wood can understand that the world's greatest enemy is the ocean on the edge of the continent.

No one dared to go to sea, that's what he said. Pressed by Wood, he continued to tell what he knew.

According to the history records of I don't know how long ago, the life of people in this world was extremely difficult, and the bad weather and fierce beasts made this world like hell.

Until one day, on the other side of the ocean, a holy light appeared as if it came from heaven. The Light lasted for a long time, and then one day, a city descended into the world along the Light.

At that time, the people who were living in a difficult situation wanted to find a way out, and the legendary warrior, great explorer, and king of history, Ronald Yat, formed the invincible army of the time, and the army finally came to the shore after a lot of hardship, and then it took more than ten years to make a ship.

At that time, the ocean, monsters were just beginning to appear. After paying a great price, the legendary King finally made it to the island and brought back from the Holy City books that would change the fate of the world.

At first, no one could understand the meaning of the words in the book, but after Ronald's tireless efforts, coupled with a little skill in reading pictures and speaking and a huge cost of experimentation, people finally made gunpowder, and then guns and cannons.

Relying on these powerful weapons, the people repelled the ferocious beasts on the continent, and finally established order to form a country and became the masters of the continent.

It can be said that those books from the Holy City changed the fate of this world.

Pick up books across the sea.

But before they could start the First Continental War, the monsters of the sea had become more and more rampant, and began to attack coastal cities constantly, and even climbed onto land to slaughter humans.

In order to defend against new threats, humanity continues to experiment at great cost. The history of science and technology, full of blood and repeated failures, will make every reader feel a little sad.

But it is precisely because of these necessary costs that they now have the ability to defend their homeland!

After gradually settling down, it was not that no one wanted to cross the ocean to the Holy City, but in the end, those so-called armadas disappeared into the ocean and were not heard from.

As for the Air Force, I'm afraid it was shot through by the sirens and sea monster shooters as soon as they went to sea.

Siren: Mermaid bird, a species of the sea tribe. The upper body is human, the lower body is a fishtail, and most of them have one or several pairs of elven wings on their backs. In the analysis of the race book, this is a creature of mixed three bloodlines.

And most of the upper body of the sirens are very beautiful women, but when Wood hears Gomez talking about the appearance of the sirens, he finds that it is not the same thing at all.

Although most of them are still women, they look ugly...... Like, like a dead body?

That's right, dead bodies, all the sea monsters in that filthy ocean to be exact!

The Sea Clan is extinct, that's what Wood has gotten. He had just thought that the intelligence was wrong, but now it seemed to be correct again.

"Don't you eat? I ordered a table. Gomez looked at the table with distress, wondering if he should run away.

"When I stopped eating, I suddenly remembered what the chief of our village said, saying that you can't eat other people's food outside. Not only is it rude, but it is also possible to be poisoned. Maika looked at Wood, who was thinking hard, and took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"We people in the city don't just take drugs!" Gomez snarled with red eyes and began to binge-eat.

It's really delicious, the last time he ate so well was at the banquet organized by the school during the princess's coming-of-age ceremony.

Crying while eating, he has decided to pack it up and take it away if he can't finish it, and he should be able to eat it for a week if he freezes it in the dormitory, right?

Wood didn't have time to feel sorry for the boy now, he bled his cheeks and thought about many things, and at last he suddenly smiled.

"Little brother Gomez, it's fate that we meet in Pingshui. Can you show me your textbook?"

Gomez choked on eating too quickly, hurriedly took the water from Wood's hand, and looked at Wood with a heart after drinking it.

"Well...... I think ......" he refused with a look on his face.

Wood smiled, then conjured a box out of thin air and threw it on the ground, kicking it open.

This time it was Gomez's turn to open his mouth wide, the golden light was so dazzling! After a long time, he swallowed, "This is ...... Kim ...... "I stammered when I spoke.

"That's right, it's gold!" Wood grabbed a gold necklace and brought it to the little brother. "Little brother Gomez, do you like it?"

What else could Gomez say, in the face of such a naked temptation, of course he chose to accept it!

"What grade books do you want to read? I can still be your teacher!"

......

At night, Wood, who stayed in a high-end hotel, did not call for special services, but stayed in the room very seriously to study.

He loves to learn, although learning is not necessarily happy, for example, he is a little annoyed now. But annoyed, he also caught some clues.

For example, in the textbooks, the photos of those ancient books, the people here may not be able to understand the titles of the books, but he, as a scholar, does.

Introduction to Basic Machinery Technology

The moment he saw these ancient words, he knew that his guess should be correct.

That so-called holy city is the book city that once suddenly disappeared on the continent of Klastina!

From the first day he became a scholar, he found traces of the city's existence from the words of history, and he always wanted to see it for himself.

But unfortunately, he couldn't find this city that suddenly disappeared. But now, he never dreamed that he would encounter the city in the dungeon.

It's not the borders of hell, it's not the riverside or the way to heaven. This is the mechanical world, and at the same time, it is also a place where he can uncover the truth of history.

Book City must be visited, there must be a shocking secret that no one knows sleeping inside!

As soon as he thought of this, he directly called all the people over and asked them to gather in his large room.

But before he could speak, he saw little Lori Lucy frowning slightly, and then pressed her head against the wall.

Everyone looked at Lucy with some puzzlement, but no one went up to disturb her, because in the mechanical world, this little Lori is probably the most astute.

Sure enough, Lucy directly punched and smashed the wall, and everyone realized that one piece of the wall was not solid.

And in there, there is a large machine flashing signal lights, which is supposed to be a bugging device. Lucy is angry right now because Daddy's privacy is hers!

Another small powder fist was smashed, and the machine was officially declared to be broken copper.

"That imp thinks we're looking suspicious and betraying us?" Joss began.

"Probably not, I think the moment we entered the city, the city was eyeing us. Wood smiled and patted Lucy's little head, "After that, we will definitely have to deal with the officials of this world, and then we will settle the score." ”

The crowd nodded, and after making sure there were no messy listeners, Wood voiced his guesses and thoughts.

"In short, we're going to cross the ocean in search of the legendary island, the legendary Holy City?" Maika concluded.

"It's pretty much the same, but there's one thing I want to correct," Wood said, pointing to the picture in the first-grade textbook, "it's not a legend, it's real." ”

......

Gomez had an exciting day. First, the experimental cannon almost couldn't shoot, and after it was shot, it hit people again, and the person who was hit was not only unharmed, but also extorted his living expenses.

It was the beginning of a stimulating day, and then the group of natives who listened to his story became so interested in mechanical technology that they even exchanged a box of gold for a full set of textbooks worth a few copper coins.

It's so exciting! His heart was about to jump out when he buried the gold. He seems to have foreseen a bright future, and he seems to have the capital to chase the goddess!

But the dream is hot, but the muzzle of the gun is cold. He threw down his shovel, raised his hands and slowly got up, continuing the exciting day.

It was the first time he had come to the Imperial Military Headquarters, and he was sitting opposite the murderous strong man, and he didn't even dare to drink tea!

Before the strong men could coerce and lure, he, the student, had already said all the things of the day with a sad face, and he was thinking that something should have happened to the natives.

"The group said they came from an isolated village?" said Colonel Sebas Yat, the second prince of the country, who was in charge of the operation.

The crown prince died just two years ago, and the cause of death is unknown, but it is rumored that the second prince killed him.

At the thought of this, Gomez's legs went limp, and he could only nod.

It would probably be the longest day of his life.

"And what else did they say?" Sebas continued.

Gomez thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, because he had already said that he was wearing red lucky panties today.

"The cyborg...... Is there anything you're missing from that little girl?" Sebas continued.

Gomez was already crying, he shook his head tremblingly, he really didn't know!

"Take him down. Seba waved his hand a little irritably, "Eat and drink well, don't abuse him." ”

The two soldiers shouted "yes" in unison, then patted Gomez on the back and urged him to leave.

Gomez resigned himself to walking out of the room, stumbling and suddenly unsteady and leaning forward.

"Yo, why are you crying again?"

His body was held up, and he looked up, and through the moonlight, he could see the face that had been smiling today.

Wood patted the little brother on the shoulder, then punched the soldier in the face as he drew his weapon. At the same time, one of the side kicks the spear of the other soldier away.

Then he quickly reached out his hand, grabbed the soldier's neck, and slowly raised it.

"Good evening, sir. Can you tell me where you are in charge?"
