Chapter 448: Shield of the Holy Wing
After completely cutting off Emilina's idea of tricking me into a try-out mecha from another world, the blonde girl had no choice but to give up and stop beating me violently. Because I had to change elevators halfway, my blue nose and swollen face after leaving the small iron box made many passers-by can't help but show shocked expressions, but in view of Emilina's identity, everyone was silent and did not ask, and the scene looked a little weird.
"Actually want to change elevators?" I sighed, rubbing the bruises on my cheeks, "This fortress is too big." ”
"It's really big. Emilina stood still in front of an elevator and pressed the button, and then said without looking back, "We are going to the lowest level, where the warships and planes are moored, and it will take a lot of time to be separated from the command post on the upper level. Actually, it's not bad, but if you're trying to cross the fortress on foot, you'll first have to be prepared to run a marathon. ”
"Horses, marathons or something, it's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"
The blonde girl ignored me and slipped straight into the elevator when it arrived. It seemed like she took it for granted, without any need for explanation. In other words, this fortress is indeed unbelievably large, and it can also accommodate warships and aircraft, which is absolutely impenetrable.
But there is one thing I have never figured out, and that is why the designers placed the mooring platform on the bottom floor of the fortress? It stands to reason that it should be placed on the upper level or even the top, so that it is easier to take off.
Maybe they have a special way of taking off? With a few questions, Emilina and I chatted casually and took the elevator to the bottom of the fortress.
When the elevator doors opened, I was greeted by an umbrella held high and folded - it was said to be held high, but in fact the tip of the umbrella was at most up to my nose. As for the person holding the umbrella, I didn't be able to spot it in my sight, but after all, I had seen some cute races in the office area before, so I decisively looked down at it with some experience.
Holding an umbrella in his right hand and a linen bag in his left hand, he looks like he is about to go back to the dormitory after work. He was smaller than a dwarf, and although he was ugly but acceptable, he looked up at us with a pair of shiny black eyes and greeted, "Won't you come out?"
Emilina walked out of the way first, and I curiously looked at the doll-like thing in front of me and asked the blonde girl, "Is this a goblin?"
"Yes. The girl nodded in confirmation of my guess.
"But it's indoors, okay, it won't rain at all, what is he doing with an umbrella?"
The girl did not answer. I just raised my hand and made a gesture for me to see. I was already very curious about this, and when I turned my head to look, I found that the goblin walked into the elevator and tiptoed on the button with the umbrella he raised, and then ...... I understood everything.
"I see, it's a very simple and effective way to do it. I couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on my head and said, "But instead of letting people go out with umbrellas every day, I think you should have designed a platform in the elevator for them to climb up and press the button." ”
"Actually, there are elevators for dwarves and goblins, but sometimes people don't bother to wait, or someone else borrows them, so it's the kind of situation you just saw. Emilina pinched the bridge of her nose slightly painfully and shrugged. "It's no surprise that you see something like this every day. ”
"Well, you can be as willful as you like. What else could I say about it, so I sighed with the girl, "Anyway, let's go see the recovered enemy ships first, I'm curious to know what this Mantius looks like." ”
Emilina took a deep breath and walked forward, "Follow me." And unfortunately, you can't tell what those guys are. Belloc's use of the Death Salute beneath the castle isn't complete, and what you'll see later is the final version. ”
"Could it be that they're all aliens?"
"Ahh It's a pretty much thing. ”
After walking through the long passage, we were greeted by a large steel space. On the ground there were installations for fixing the battleship. Agile fighters were parked opposite. However, it was now rather empty, with all the weapons that should have been parked here on the front lines, and only a few bored technicians casually passing the time nearby.
The Kerberg, which had been seen in the window, was now standing firm in the distance, and the fixtures were sticking out of many brackets against the bottom of the battleship, looking from afar like a fish that had been set up. I had expected that the next second the best woman named Jessica would scream with joy and pounce on Emilina, and then the latter would be whipped off on the spot, but in fact this did not happen - several men presumably sent by Amberil grabbed the red-haired woman and took her away. At the same time, the crew of the "hijacked" Kerberg breathed a sigh of relief.
Farther away, there was a large amount of metal waste, and even the butt of the fighter tilted upwards could be seen inside. Quite a few people are rummaging through it. Besides, I finally understand why Emilina said that thing is a "treasure mountain", because Ya really has a hill as big as a small mountain, how can it be repaired!
"Oh, my little princess, why did you come here?" an old hoarse voice suddenly came from the side. When I followed the sound, I found that the other party was an old white-bearded goblin, with a cane in his hand, followed by a few people of the same clan, who seemed to be an important person, "I heard that you went to the newly discovered plane a few days ago, is it true?"
"Old man Arad. Emilina walked over and bowed her head to the old man, "It's true, the young man next to me is a local resident. However, their technological civilization is not as developed as the Mantius people, and this guy himself is just a scumbag, so I guess you won't be able to get any useful information from him. ”
The old goblin named Arad was obviously not on me, and he smiled and waved his hand at the girl, "Don't worry, I don't have the energy now, and I won't grab people from other planes to ask this and that." I just happened to have some gains today, so I couldn't help but come and take a look. ”
The harvest refers to Mantius's ship, so it's no surprise that goblins who like to tinker with machinery would expect this.
Emlina was just about to answer when a lamp on a distant floor, near the center, which was distinctly different in color from the rest of the world, and where no half of the people approached, suddenly lit up. In the incomparably striking yellow light, the steel plate slowly clicked downward.
What the hell is going on? Before I could figure it out, I slipped through the hole I had just opened and came up from the bottom up with a chubby airship with an external mechanical arm attached to it a half-wet orange flying machine. The airship lowered the wreckage into the designated area and then drilled down the hole, and the steel plate slowly closed again.
I just felt that my brain cells were a little insufficient, so I hurriedly ran to the pile of wreckage and took a closer look. I don't know exactly what metal it's made of, but the only thing I can figure out is that this guy should have been in the water before he got it up to the airship. After wiping a little water with my hand and putting it next to my nose and smelling it, I found a faint fishy smell inside, and the whole person was instantly shocked.
"What's wrong, Zhou Yi. Behind him came the footsteps of a group of people and the voice of Emilina, "Why did you suddenly come here like a nerve?"
"Now, Emilina. I actually had a rough idea in my mind, but it was so unreliable that I couldn't believe it, and I could only watch the girl try to hear her deny her speculation, "There is a salty smell in this water, it can't be the sea under the fortress, right?"
"Ah, you're pretty clever sometimes. The blonde girl nodded approvingly, "That's right, the sea is below us." But so what?"
"This is already the lowest level of the fortress, and the floor has just been opened to let in a salvage ship, which has not brought in the seawater itself. In other words, is the underside of the fortress dangling?"
The girl continued to nod: "That's right again." Why, aren't you going to change your career to become a detective?"
"I didn't mean to turn into a broom star!" I stomped my foot and said a little frantically with a laugh, "Beauty, we're all talking so clearly, we're still playing haha, are you deliberately pretending to be stupid with me? This fortress is flying in the sky at all, hey!?"
Emmilina tilted her head in confusion and raised her index finger against her cheeks and said, "Ahh ”
"Well, it took us a lot of effort to make it. Arad immediately stroked her beard next to her and smiled with a look of reminiscence, "That little girl always likes to come up with some whimsical ideas, and when she sent the blueprints, I was stupid on the spot, but I didn't expect it to succeed in the end." ”
And I was so shocked that I couldn't even say a word.
Emmilina took a half-step forward, spread her arms slightly, raised her head slightly, and said with an extremely proud and proud expression, "Welcome to the Flying Fortress of the 'Holy Wing Shield'. Zhou Yi, are you interested in visiting around?" (To be continued......)
