After examining all of the test items, Duncan gained a better understanding of Ey's transportation capabilities and the nature of the items on the Lost Land.

Ay can transport several different items at a time, including organic, inorganic, supernatural and ordinary things, and the type of item does not affect the stability of the transportation process, and the transportation process does not affect the nature of the item itself;

Some of the things that obviously have "mobility" on the Lost Country are themselves "sub-units" under a larger sense of control, such as artillery shells are sub-units of the ammunition system, and these sub-units will lose their active nature after leaving the Lost Country and become mediocre things;

Say's transportation process doesn't seem to take much of his "energy", whether it's the ceremonial dagger he carried at the beginning, or the bunch of things he carries at once now, the bird is still alive and kicking when it returns, of course, this may be because the total amount of "goods" it has transported so far is too small, far from reaching the bottleneck of its capabilities;

At this time, only different types of items have been tested, and it is unknown if there is a limit to "weight" or "volume" in Ae's transportation capacity, which requires more testing.

Duncan summarized the information known so far one by one, and only after confirming that everything was in place did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly lean back in his chair.

He knew that the tests he had done so far were still very imperfect, and that there were many possible variables that had not been well considered, and that even in terms of the "type of test object", he had selected too few samples to accumulate valid data.

In the future, he will at least choose more types of items, and at the same time use different item weights and item volumes to test Ae's transportation ceiling and the stability of multiple shipments, only with enough control samples can the test data obtained be reliable and credible.

He was very cautious in this regard, and this caution was not without reason – because he had a very bold plan...... Or ideas.

Since Ay can teleport items between land and the Lost in one piece, with no restrictions on the type of item, then...... Can it give away?

If it can give it away, can it give it to people who are not very human? Like what...... Alice?

Duncan knew that a person's abilities were limited, and that if he only relied on his ability to walk in the spirit realm to act as a link between the Lost Nation and the land city-state, sooner or later he would encounter the problem of insufficient manpower and inconsiderate care, and at this time, the situation would be much better if he had helpers.

The teleportation ability shown by the pigeon Ay gave him a good idea.

Of course, Alice is not a good candidate for help, although this empty "Anomaly 099" with a superior number is elegant and mysterious when he is quiet, but as long as he is active, he will immediately reveal the essence of being a vegetable and a waste, but at present, Duncan really has no other candidate.

Duncan couldn't help but sigh at the thought that the only crew member available to him was a scrap wood that could cook and stew himself.

He estimated that it was impossible for him to find allies from the human world, and if he had to find it, he would only be able to attract a group of middle and second villains, just the kind of villains who looked forward to the end of the world every day as soon as they opened their eyes, cut gas pipes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, went to demon sacrifices on Sundays, and fought guerrilla fights with the church defenders on Sundays......

The way of goods can quickly be in cahoots with the goatheads, and they can work together to invade a city-state, but it is not the help that Duncan wants.

“…… Alice, at least honestly obedient," Duncan sighed and stood up, muttering to himself, "If you cultivate well, you can grow...... Probably. ”

Even if she can't be a helper, she should let that puppet see the world in the human world, after all, she has been locked in a coffin for so many years, and she doesn't know what the outside world is like.

After sorting out his thoughts, Duncan began to pack up the large pile of things he had brought with him - he would not be returning to the Lost Country for the time being, and many of these things could not be carried with him, so naturally they had to be kept in the store.

There wasn't much to hide on the second floor of the antique shop, and Nina was always on hand to help tidy up the room, and things that obviously didn't look like everyday items would be suspicious in the room (like a century-old cannonball), but after a short thought, Duncan found a reasonable place to go for them.

The sun amulet can be hidden close to the body, and the salted fish can be put directly into the kitchen, which seems reasonable, and the cannonball from a century ago and the sailor's dagger from a century ago are even simpler-

Duncan took those two things directly to the storefront on the first floor and placed them in the inconspicuous corner next to the counter - this is an antique store anyway, and there are as many messes as there are similar to paintings, and daggers and cannonballs are better than throwing them in the pile of tattered fakes on the first floor......

As for the last one, the cheese from the Lost Country's kitchen, Duncan found a good place for it as well.

in the trash.

After dealing with all this, Duncan patted the dust on his hands that did not exist, and was very satisfied with his arrangement.

Then he glanced at the sky outside.

The "sun" that had been sealed by the double rune confinement was hanging high in the sky, and it was just noon.

Nina will be returning home later today, and before that he plans to get out and about to learn more about the city.

Anyway, it seems that this antique shop has no business today.

The weather was a little cool, Duncan changed into a dark brown coat, and before going out, he took care of his somewhat messy and decadent hair, trying to make his decadent and frail body, which had been tormented by alcohol, drugs, and diseases, look refreshed, and then left the antique shop.

As soon as he went out, a sound of flapping and flapping wings came from the second floor, and the pigeon Ai flew out of the room and landed on his shoulder, shaking his head while proudly pressing: "Go to Erxian Bridge and walk Chenghua Avenue ......"

Duncan suddenly glanced at the goods, he originally planned to let this pigeon watch the house on the second floor, after all, when he went out, a pigeon on his body always looked too dazzling and weird, anyway, there was a spiritual fire connection between himself and Ae, and he could use the spiritual flame to summon it to his side at any time in the event of a situation, and he was not afraid of delaying things.

It's just that I didn't expect to forget to confess when I went out, and the bird "got in the car" by itself.

Looking at the bird's triumphant appearance, Duncan finally smiled helplessly and sighed: "...... Forget it, follow it if you like. ”

He carried the pigeon on his back to the main road opposite the antique shop, and after walking a short distance along the main road, he heard a crisp sound of bells mixed with the sound of the steam mechanism coming from far and near, and looked up to see a double-decker bus with a brown background painted with blue stripes coming along the main road, and gradually stopped near the station not far away.

It was a common form of public transport in the city-state of Plande, powered by steam machines, and cost six pesos to reach more than half of the lower town, and according to the route map posted behind the carriages, it ended with two stops on the edge of the upper town, a place called the Cross Block.

Duncan had an image of the "Cross Block" in his mind, and he knew that the neighborhood and the surrounding area were seen as the "junction" of the city-state of Purland, where there were more prosperous businesses and decent housing, and many residents of the lower city saw the cross block as their goal and dream of a leap in life, and many middle-class citizens who could not afford the high expenses of the upper city and wanted to live a decent life also lived there—there were also movie theaters, museums, and a few high-end restaurants.

Nina's school is near Cross Block, and the museum she mentioned is also next to Cross Block.

Duncan thought for a moment, walked briskly to the station, and got on the bus before it started.

There was no one on the bus, more than half of the seats on the first floor were empty, and next to the driver's platform stood a conductor in a dark blue uniform, a young woman with shawl hair and simple makeup, who first subconsciously reached out to the ticket holder after seeing someone get on the bus, but then noticed the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder.

"Sorry, you can't bring pets on board, it's the rule," the young woman said, gesturing to the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder, "including the pigeon." ”

Duncan looked at Ey, who innocently flapped her wings and tilted her head to look at him.

"Go to the roof of the car and pick it up."

"Goo, goo."

Ay flapped her wings and flew out of the car, cursing at the street as she flew.

The young conductor looked at the man in front of her who was communicating with the pigeon, and the pigeon who seemed to be able to understand human speech, and did not speak for a long time.

"Is that okay now?" Duncan had to warn the conductor who seemed to be in a daze, and raised his hand to point in the direction of the roof of the car, "You shouldn't be able to care if the bird lands on the roof of the car, right?" ”

Only then did the conductor react: "Ah...... Yes...... The ticket price is six pesos, pass. ”

Duncan reached into his pocket, pulled out two coins in exchange for a blue ticket, and then found a window seat and sat down quietly, ready to enjoy his first ride in the world.

The steam engine was activated, and with a slight vibration and mechanical friction, the bell at the front of the car rang crisply, and then the bus shook slightly, and the scenery outside the window receded.

Duncan leaned back comfortably in his chair, feeling the tremors and acceleration of the mechanical engineering creature in motion.

The steam mechanism is a good thing, civilized society is a good thing, and scientific and technological progress is a good thing.

If he has the chance, he must give the Lost Country a whole set - even if it is just a boiler that can boil hot water, and then he will be able to take a hot shower on the ship.

As soon as his thoughts spread, he felt a sudden shock of the car, and the scenery outside the window slowly stopped.

The young conductor pushed open the window near the front of the train and shouted outside, "Do you want to get on the bus?" There's a seat! It's all big seats! ”

Duncan was stunned and laughed dumbly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that this city-state, which was still unfamiliar to him, suddenly became full of life.
