I don't know how Pant informed the shipyard, and I don't know if it's because on the streets of Entropy City, there are people watching the actions of the leader of the Doomsday Guardian all the time, anyway, when Puu and Quis came to the shipyard gate, the Berserker Demon Guards naturally let them pass.

"Bad smell, every time I come here, I feel a little up," the disgusting smell of the berserker body tormented the nerves of the half-goat, and when the rune cloth curtain fell, separating the inside and outside of the shipyard, Pu Wu quickly took the opportunity to gasp twice.

Quest couldn't agree more. It's just that the last time he was trapped in the Amber Seal, he evolved into a creature that didn't need to breathe, so he only briefly closed his sense of smell, and luckily avoided the fate of "".

"Use that energy ointment," he kindly reminded the half-sheep, "and apply it to the wings of your nose to cover the stench." ”

Pu Wu, who was tormented by the residual stench in his nasal cavity and had a migraine, did not doubt that he had him, and immediately did so, and the effect was immediate.

"Nice way to use, very effective!"

After healing himself, Puu, the half-sheep, was in a much better mood, and he began to serve as a guide for Quest again, seemingly forgetting the task given to him by the leader of the Doomsday Guardians, Pant.

He led Quis along the path made of the rune cloth wall, zigzag. Unlike the festive atmosphere outside, although the shipyard is also "hot", it is purely caused by the sweat of the laborers.

According to Puu, the shipyard in the City of Entropy not only accommodates a large number of Twelve Tree pilgrims doing odd jobs, but also recruits a large number of laborers in the fortresses of various quasi-elemental planes, and they jointly undertake the task of building the "Ship of Chaos".

The so-called "ship of chaos" is also known as the entropy ship.

The original Ship of Chaos was made of shattered bones, yielding souls, and bottomless abyssal invokers. Because of their insane power dedicated to countering the effects of order, they are used by the Tanari Demons in bloody battles against the devils.

The vast majority of the Ships of Chaos serve under the Demon Lords, with only a small number navigating the various planes that can reach various locations in the Netherworld via the River Styx, as well as using the Atlas Gate spell to reach the marked material planes.

There are brave or reckless travelers who will pay a reasonable fee to get the right to ride the Ship of Chaos.

However, the Ship of Chaos is not protected by the River Styx like the Styx Ferryman's boat, and it has an unreliable captain and crew, so it is not safe to travel this way.

Like the "McQuay" that Quis had come into contact with before, a certain Ugros merchant who had fallen into the pit, these experienced nether traveling merchants usually have better alternatives.

For example, obtaining a second-hand ferry boat sold by the Styx Ferryman through some means, or submitting an order to the Doom Guardians for a modified Ship of Chaos, the "Boat of Doom", is not capable of suppressing order, but it is better to be safe.

"The shipyard is an important source of funding for the community, and the only business that needs to be built and operated outside of its traditional, violence-related businesses," Puu told Queth.

Quest bowed slightly, but couldn't help but think in his heart, "Even the construction and operation of the business is full of violence. ”

How many of the shipyard's large number of workers—stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and lime burners, and all the other laborers needed for the project—were hired, and how many were simply slaves taken from all planes by the Guardians of Doom?

In addition to the abundance of manpower, the factory also seems to have no shortage of production tools. As far as Quest could see, each worker had an axe, shovel, hoe, pickaxe, and other iron tools in his hand.

And where did the materials for the construction of the boat come from?

The lime and lime-burning furnaces, the emery of the dust plane, the high-quality wood of Elysium or the Unrestrained Wilderness, the refined steel produced in the Mechanical Realm of Mozuka...... From a cost perspective, Quest doesn't believe that the Doom Guardians will honestly spend money on it.

Because the office in charge of coordinating manpower was set up in the center of the shipyard, Puu took Quest for a long time through the winding corridors. Along the way, they passed through a number of production workshops, and were also guarded by several patrolling aggravators.

As they approached their destination, they passed by a workshop with an engine development center on it. Unlike when he had passed by other workshops before, the half-sheep man did not enthusiastically act as a tour guide, but urged Quis to leave the gate quickly.

"You'd better pray that you never come here," said Puu earnestly, "as soon as the door of this workshop is opened, the degraders on duty inside will rush out and indiscriminately grab the laborers in, because they need ......."

After a moment's silence, as if it had been through some kind of mental struggle—thanks to his psychic abilities, even though he had no manifest powers, Quest still made Puu feel a certain sense of guilt—and the half-sheep felt that he had to make up for it, so he continued:

“...... For the dead," he said cautiously, "this engine development workshop was originally called the 'Paddle Room.'" Each boat needed someone to 'paddle' to provide the power, and initially only the incapacitated laborers would be assigned to the work. ”

"Later, however, due to the increase in orders for the boats, lots were drawn every once in a while to decide which laborers would be sent here. But recently, orders have skyrocketed, and the labor that won the lottery can't fill the lack of oarsmen. ”

"So the deterioration inside was used as a spare oarsman. In order not to let bad luck befall him, every time he opened the door and rotated, those degraders would rush out like a swarm and hijack a large number of people, even the other Doomsday Guardians. ”

After listening to Puwu's words, Quis originally wanted to ask, "Don't you know if Captain Pante doesn't ask", but when he thought of the Doomsday Guardians' belief in "the decline of all things", he also understood - since dying early and dying late is a death, then it doesn't matter.

"What an unreasonable bunch of crazy people," Quest involuntarily spat after figuring out why.

And just when Pu Wu urged him to hurry up, the corridor of this rune cloth suddenly turned red, and the door curtain of the "Engine R&D Center" workshop, which was originally closed, automatically rolled up upwards.

"Oh no, let's go!"
