Siegel initially thought that the voice was an illusion, an echo left in his mind after facing the void for a long time. But why is it the language of the dragon, and not his native language, the lingua franca of the Kingdom of Stars, and isn't the hallucinations often in his native language? He paused and waited for a while, and heard again a voice coming from the ground: "Can you save me?"

The mage lowered his head, and beneath his feet was a smooth cuticle. This is the remains of a huge creature, so naturally there is a difference between in vitro and in vivo. Siegel felt like he had become stupid, and should have thought that there might be complex structures beneath the ground. He pulled out the stardust, slashed it down where the green veins were most sparse, and sliced open.

There was a slight feeling of stagnation in the hand, and the stratum corneum was very tough, but it was not as hard as steel, and it was quickly cut. Underneath the transparent shell is a mesh about half an arm deep, and then the cavity is underneath. Siegel saw roads and walls paved with steel, supported by stone pillars at intervals. There are only a few green plasma lines, and they are wrapped in a thick layer of amber glue, which emits a glow like an oil lamp, but it doesn't hurt.

An aluminum-gray guy stood on the ground, looking up at Siegel as he jumped down. He was about a meter tall, like a child, with his head and body together like a cube, and slender metal arms and legs sticking out. It's a combination of mechanics and flesh, like a square box stuffed with minced meat. Levers, gears, and other gears form joints on the outside of his body, and the rest is covered with tiny rivets, next to a pair of round glass eyes, nested with two pairs of thick lenses, in different combinations at different times, and on the upper part of his square body, there are a pair of short wings, but they look like broken fans, and I don't know if they can fly.

This is a mound. A type of flesh-and-blood creature whose duty is to take care of its master: a plane, a mechanical plane that symbolizes eternal order.

Like a worker, the Mozun will constantly repair the mechanical plane's devices to keep them functioning. It is the embodiment of the power of order, the beauty of perfectly biting gears.

Siegel descended from above him. Just in time for the wound to the tip of the creature's head: a fist-sized hole pierced through the top of the cube, and beneath the melted, rolled metal, a fragment of a flame crystal was inserted into the wound illuminated by electric sparks.

"Hello, Skeleton Soldier willing to help, it's nice to meet you. He spoke quickly, and after listening to it, he needed to think back to understand what he said. "What's new out there today?"

Siegel felt that it was dangerous to talk to this person, but he couldn't help but say, "What kind of thing counts as new?"

"Ah, that's right! Everyone's standards are different. The square walking head goes on and on: "Yesterday I saw an egg falling on a person's head, and it was very fresh. But it is not necessary today, and it is not necessarily necessary tomorrow, and after reading it hundreds of times, it will certainly not feel fresh! But from that time onwards, it should be counted as not fresh? Or after not reading it for a while, it may feel fresh again after reading it again! Oh, this is a great proposition that helps to understand the nature of the soul!"

He gushed on and on, and Siegel didn't bother to listen, but looked around. Nacoth hollows out the corpses of giant creatures. The support structure was rebuilt with resources looted from various worlds. The channels here are crooked, like blood vessels in living organisms. Siegel watched carefully for a moment. It was found that the passage was still writhing slightly with the vibration of the Void Ship.

There is only a very faint elemental energy here, which is not enough to support the release of the spell. If you use a magic circle, you will have to wait a long time before you can gather a spell such as an energy missile. Siegel tried that if he only used electricity as the energy to construct spells, he could release an electric orb as an attack, but he didn't have the ability to track hits.

Electricity is a direct and swift force. It is embodied in the mantras of mages and priests. Fortunately, the original lightning spells have been enhanced, such as the Shock Claw and Lightning Beam. However, the skeleton soldier's modified body is very resistant to lightning, and these spells should not be really lethal.

Now that we know that the Void Ship exists in the internal space, the next step should be to find the "spire" that Monroe said. Luckily, with Stardust at hand, there's always a way to make a way in this place. He was on his way. But he noticed a voice coming from overhead. The mozuka, who had a hole in his head, continued to speak: "It's very important to be curious, so that you can learn and keep improving. In order to stay curious, it is also necessary to regularly delete what you have learned before and let yourself see the unknown again. ”

If he corrected his contradictory statement, he would probably be bogged down in another tirade, so Siegel wisely kept his mouth shut. The mound stood on the ceiling with its feet on its feet, its broken wings unmoved, apparently not relying on the power of flight. Siegel tried to jump, but still fell back to the ground. However, when he jumped hard and touched the ceiling with his hand, the direction of gravity suddenly changed, and he fell to the "ceiling" like a mound.

The scenery around is completely upside down, but it is not much different from the previous one. Siegel tried the wall again, and found that he could stand on it. Every fixed plane in this place can be walked, and unless it touches other planes, it will still fall to the angle of the plane when it left. This is a great obstacle to discerning the direction, and if it weren't for the "stone pillars" here, Siegel wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between up and down and left and right. The channel is inherently uneven, and the accumulation of subtle angular distortions can completely change direction.

Siegel thought of the dwarf Ding Bao's deception circle, which unconsciously formed a qualitative change by accumulating subtle changes. If the same is true here, then getting lost is a certainty. Siegel grabbed the mound and pressed his mouth, "Shut up and answer my question!"

Mozuka blinked in agreement. His face was long over his body, so he couldn't nod his head - bowing was another thing - so he blinked in agreement and against it.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Siegel asked. In order to prevent him from starting a tirade, he added: "Abbreviated version!"

"I'm the Mozuka, number...... (He looks up at Siegel and decides to give up reciting the code), you can call me beep. Doodoo's tuot, or call me Ertu. I wandered the world, and then I was caught here, and now, like the other skeletons of Naykoth, fix the ground here and maintain everything. ”

"Why did you just shout for help?" Siegel rested his sword on the mozuka's head. Tapping lightly makes a tinkling sound.

"Because it's boring. The two demon mounds said, "I saw you through perspective, and you were staring into the void in a daze. I would like to ask you what you see and why you have been able to keep an eye on nothingness. I think once I learn this ability, I will never get bored again. ”

"You're very thoughtful, but I can't teach you. Siegel said helplessly, "Do you know how to get to the Void Ship Spire?"

Mozuka blinked: "I know, but it's dangerous there, it's better not to go." ”

"Why?" Siegel asked.

"Because there's a master there, he won't like me. Makazuka replied, "But I can take you there, you are not in danger!"

I'll be more dangerous than you!!" Siegel thought. But he still nodded and followed behind the mound all the way. As he walked, Erdu gushed his story to the skeleton. First as a worker, he worked in a place full of clocks and machinery, and then he strayed into a portal to a place called Achista. "The people there were nice to me, but they were all dead. He said, "You discovered that world and destroyed it." ”

"I'm new to the names of this world," Siegel, "and it's none of mine's business. ”

"Then you must be a newborn warrior of Nakuth. No wonder you don't know the way, maybe your body comes from that world. So we might be considered fellow countrymen. Erdu danced and said: "Although it is a hometown of the second hometown, we are finally familiar with each other, aren't we?"

They weaved through the twisted passages, the repetition of the sights tiresome, gravity in all directions causing Siegel to lose his sense of direction, he could no longer distinguish between up and down, left and right, and could not remember exactly where he had passed.

"Sometimes I feel that the void is scary. But sometimes I feel that the constant repetition is more terrifying. Erdu said: "It took me a long time to understand the road system here and find the trick. ”

"I don't see numbers and street signs, how do you tell the difference?"

"That's the good thing about having a nose, Mr. Skeleton, I can smell it. Erdu pointed to his soft, flattened nose. "There's always a stench in the digestive room, there's a sour smell in the green pool in the pump room, there's a nice smell of oil in the workshop, and there's a sweet smell in the place where the master is." Maybe the Juggernaut likes cake, or maybe it's sugar or honey?"

"Pretty convenient, isn't it?"

"It wasn't always like that. "One time I wanted to smell the water, but I almost choked to death. Then I came up with a way to find an icicle and stuff it in, and then I understood the smell of water. It's just that after that, my nostrils often run out of nose and I am particularly sensitive to things like pollen. It's a good thing there's no pollen here, and Nakus can do some good things, can't he?"

Of course, in addition to this incident, Nakus did mostly bad things in Erdu's heart, especially "eating" Achista and turning it into various building materials. Erdu said that he had witnessed the destruction of that world with his own eyes, and saw the last flashes of light in its void. Then dozens of Nakusi "Void Ship" flying islands leaned in and refined a large number of Flame Soul Crystals.

Much of the material was dug up before the world was destroyed and supplied to the Nakus as material. Erdu was carried off the ground by gravity, but as a mound, he was able to survive in the void for a short time, so he held on until he landed on the ground. Then it was hit in the head by something falling from the sky, and when it woke up, it was about to be transported into the digestion chamber.

"Maybe because I'm a mound, a constructor, and I don't have much to move around, I just got up and left the digester. All the skeletons ignored me, even the Skeleton Knight. But I don't dare to meet the Juggernaut, he must be quite clever and will not show mercy to my men. You're not going to take me to the Juggernaut, are you?"

"There are two roads ahead, one leading to the left and one to the left. Siegel interrupted him, "Which side should we go?" ”

Erdu looked left and right, then sniffed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know which way to go, but at times like this, I always go left." ”

Siegel felt that the path on the right was more pleasant, but he followed the mound to the left. (To be continued......)
