Chapter 256: On foot
"Bang, poof, when" Looking at the floating boat that burst and broke in an instant, a look of shock appeared on Lucius's always calm face.
He was completely stunned by what he saw, and he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Augustine, on Lucius's shoulder, jumped down and landed on the dilapidated floatship, taking advantage of his small stature, and quickly burrowed into it along the cracked hole in the surface of the floatboat.
Agufodin drilled inside for a long time, and from time to time there would be a "clanging" sound, while everyone else waited quietly.
In particular, Du Liniang looked at Lucius with some concern, as if she was afraid that something might happen to Lucius, or suddenly lash out at her, and she felt a little weak.
Everyone waited for a long time, the sky had completely darkened, and finally with two small points of light, Ogufodin emerged from the ruined hull.
He reached out and threw a metal screw to Lucius and said, "See for yourself, some of the screws of the boat are obviously not up to standard, but fortunately you landed to rest and try to put the hull away, otherwise if we continue to fly like this, I am afraid that we will really fall into the sea." โ
Looking at the already twisted screws in his hands, Lucius's face was full of doubts, and he didn't understand why there were such screws.
Because when he gave the drawings to Carberry, he had already explained to Carberry and No. 1 Clear what kind of materials must be used to make them, but now the screws in his hands are obviously not made of the materials he specified and required, which shows that the materials of the hull may not be up to standard.
Pinching the screws, Lucius turned his head to look at Du Liniang, and asked as calmly as possible, "Auntie, what is going on?"
"I, I really don't know, you know, I don't know anything about this kind of machinery. โ
Seeing that Du Liniang's gaze did not dodge, Lucius knew very well that the other party was not lying. But how can we explain the facts at hand?
Lucius lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head after thinking about it, and said to Du Liniang: "Auntie, is it the trouble that Brenos has encountered?
"How do you kid know? You also know, old lady, I am a straight temper, I can't hide my words at all, in fact, I have wanted to tell you a long time along the way, but when I came, Merlin explained to me that I must not sue you. So I didn't dare to say it, did you already know?"
After listening to Du Liniang's answer, Lucius understood that his guess was correct, it seemed that Brenos was really in crisis, and it should be a crisis in resources, so the materials used to make the float boat did not meet his requirements.
Lucius raised his head to look up at the starry sky, looked at the mountain that was already far away, sighed and said, "Okay, auntie, don't pretend." Now that I know, I can't go back, so let's just say it, isn't it Brenos's various resource supplies. All cut off by the Holy See and the Temple?"
This time, Du Liniang didn't continue to be sloppy, and nodded Zhengse and said, "That's right, Brenos's resource supply has been severely suppressed. The Holy See and the Templar put pressure on the surrounding countries, so our supply lines were cut off. โ
As she spoke, Du Liniang's expression changed suddenly. He said to the crowd: "But you don't have to worry too much, Brenos is still self-sufficient in food, and he is very rich, but metal and minerals are scarce now. โ
"And how did you build this floatship?"
Seeing Lucius pointing to the floating boat that had turned into a pile of scrap metal, Du Liniang couldn't help but say helplessly: "Actually, Kabery doesn't agree to make it, because our raw materials are insufficient, but Dekez They think that they can reduce the proportion of metal in the parts and minimize the material demand, and it should be able to be manufactured, so they built it." โ
Lucius stretched out his hand to throw away the metal screw, and said helplessly: "Well, you guys are really bold, if I hadn't stopped to rest and encounters any threat in the forest, then I'm afraid we would have confessed a long time ago." โ
Du Liniang's face was also full of helplessness, and asked Lucius with a smile: "Hehe, then what should we do next? Without this floating boat, we are afraid that we will not be able to cross the sea, right?"
Without waiting for Lucius to reply, Augustine jumped on Lucius's shoulder and said solemnly: "Don't talk about crossing the sea, now that we have completely lost our advantage, let's find a place to settle down first." โ
Lucius didn't say anything more, and strode in the direction of the village.
After taking a few steps, he found that no one else was following, so he turned around and waved his arm and said, "Okay, let's go, you can't spend the night in the wilderness, right?"
When the others heard this, they also hurried to follow, and the team quickly walked in the wilderness, and they had to call for help now after losing their floats, otherwise they might not even be able to reach the beach.
The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, although the village was not far away from the float before, and in order not to attract the attention of the village in advance, Lucius deliberately parked the float a little farther away, but now that he really walked, everyone finally understood that the village was actually far away from the place where the float landed.
Fortunately, Du Liniang and the others themselves are strong, and they always do not change their faces and hearts when they stride forward, but Lucius gradually seems to be a little overwhelmed, after all, he is only a tenth-level magician who can't perform magic.
"Huhuhuhu" Finally, Lucius began to gasp for breath, and his body was a little weaker when he was obviously in a hurry, Du Liniang couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Boy, it seems that your strength is still not good?"
Regarding Du Liniang's words, Lu Xiusi smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, you, you, can you stop standing and talking without backache? This, this is not what I think? Really, my original strength is not good, but don't be complacent, I, I, I have a way, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum......, hum
After "humming", Lucius stopped, took out a dark metal block from the metal box on his waist, and threw the metal block to the ground seemingly at random.
In an instant, the metal block quickly unfolded on the ground, and the black metal carriage that had carried Lucius through the forest appeared in front of everyone, and Lucius jumped into the carriage without saying a word.
Sitting on the metal carriage and quietly letting the carriage carry him forward, Lucius breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head with great satisfaction and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is life, there is no need to go like this at all?
See what Lucius looks like. Especially when she saw the carriage moving slowly, Du Liniang couldn't help but grab Lucius and said viciously: "Do you know that you are very underwhelmed by your current appearance." โ
was grabbed by Du Liniang, Lu Xiusi hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, beckoned Du Liniang and said, "Hehe, aunt, don't be polite, come, come, come up quickly." โ
beckoned Du Liniang into the carriage. To calm Du Liniang's anger, Lucius beckoned the others to get into the carriage as well, and then the carriage accelerated instantaneously under Lucius's driving, and without any traction, it galloped rapidly over the wilderness under the stars, and rushed towards the place where the smoke rose in front of him.
When he reached the outside of the village, Lucius stopped the metal carriage, beckoned everyone to get out of the carriage, and put it away. Then he approached the village cautiously with the others.
At this time, it had just been nightfall, and almost every household in the village was preparing dinner, and after really getting closer, Lucius and the others found out. The village in front of you can be described as quite large, and it seems that it is composed of many families.
Lecius and the others approached the village cautiously, looking at the tranquility under the flickering lights in the village, everyone felt that there were creatures in the village. It should be very kind, and I can't help but start to look forward to the village, hoping to be able to get help in the village. Learn about the whole plain.
When everyone finally walked to the front of the village, the sight in front of them made Lucius and them completely shocked, and they stood at the entrance of the village one by one dumbfounded, looking at the village in front of them.
After a long time, Agufortin exclaimed, "Oh my God, is this a mechanical village?
Indeed, as Augustine exclaimed, the village before Lucius was a village of steam and machinery, and even at the head of the village was a towering metal gate, and the houses inside were scattered, but almost every house was partially covered with metal.
The most surprising thing for everyone was that although the village did not have a wall, in front of the tall metal gate at the head of the village, there were two rather domineering metal mechanical beasts.
And when Lucius and the others approached the village, they could clearly feel that the two mechanical beasts immediately stared at them, as if they had resisted their prey, which made Lucius and them feel a little frightened.
Everyone approached step by step, and at the same time stared vigilantly at the two mechanical beasts, ready to be attacked at any time, Noko and Christine clutched their magic wands in their hands, Caroline also took out her great axe, and even Kirille and Modรจs took out their respective weapons.
However, Lucius did not let everyone do it, but took a closer look at the two mechanical beasts, wanting to find a possible connection, and wanted to see what the origin of the two mechanical beasts was.
He didn't believe that someone in the village in front of him could make such a terrifying mechanical beast, so he thought that the mechanical beast might have been obtained by someone from the village from elsewhere.
As he got closer, Lecius never found the information he was looking for, and finally couldn't help but tilt his head and ask Augustine on his shoulder: "Hey, have you found anything? These two big guys, will they have something to do with you?" Or did the teacher come here and stay?"
In fact, it was not only Lucius who was anxious, but also Augustine was a little anxious, and he also wanted to find out the origin of the two mechanical beasts, but he stared up and down for a long time, but he did not find any traces of his familiarity.
In the end, Oguferdine could only say with some frustration: "I didn't find it, I didn't find anything, I really don't know, where did these two big guys come from?"
"Roar......" As Lucius and the others approached the village, they were about to reach the two automatons, when suddenly the two prostrate automatons propped up their upper bodies, raised their heads and let out a warning roar.
Then the originally peaceful village boiled in an instant, and the doors of every house in the village were opened almost at the same time, and people like Lucius and others ran out of the house, but those people were all holding heavy firearms that frightened Lucius and them.
