Chapter 62: Welcome to the City That Never Sleeps
[You are locked by Gilman Elliott's killing intent.] Evaluation: As long as you are not blind, I believe you can see it. Reward: Survival Points +2]
“……”
How can you not see it when you are pressed against your head with such a thick barrel?
Wayne smiled bitterly, "Boss Gilman, I just want to buy some materials to make a mechanical puppet......"
"As I said, you're not welcome here." Gilman interrupted, "Please go back." ”
Marco looked at her and said slowly, "Gilman, I think you've forgotten who saved you in the first place, and who helped you settle in Caster......"
Syllable.
A gunshot rang out, and a fiery snake emerged from the musket under the chandelier of the skull, striking the ground in front of the two men.
Gilman clasped his hands to his chest, "Nothing else is between wizards. ”
"Wizard?"
Marco scoffed, "It's just a high-level apprentice who failed to advance, you don't really think you can keep me with these things, do you?" ”
High Wizard Apprentice?
Wayne glanced at the mechanical weapons around him, and the firepower in this store was almost catching up with a reinforced platoon.
Gilman was unmoved, and said coldly: "You can try!" ”
Marco's eyes darkened, "It's really ......"
Wayne pulled him, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Brother Marco, since Boss Gilman doesn't agree, let's go and take a look elsewhere." ”
"Sure?"
"Hmm."
When Marco saw him nodding, he turned around and walked out without saying a word, the red ponytail on the back of his head flicked and flicked, very rhythmically.
Wayne glanced at Gilman again, and walked out of the store with him.
It's just that what he doesn't know is-
Shortly after they walked out, all the mechanical weapons in the store slipped down one by one.
As if it had been slashed by a sharp blade, it broke in half, and the gears, parts, and various transistors inside were scattered all over the ground.
Gilman looked at all this and bit his good-looking lip, "The temper is still so hot...... Lost. ”
On the other side,
Marco walked out in silence before he spoke, "Sorry, I didn't buy what you wanted." ”
"I'm to blame for this," Wayne said with a smile, "If I didn't admit to being a wizard apprentice of the Ghost School just now, I should be able to buy it without any problems." ”
This time he did suffer too honestly, but how could he have thought that the wizards of other schools had such a deep grudge against the ghost school?
Forget it, the next time he meets a wizard from another school, he will know how to communicate.
If you want to say that you are a wizard of the Spiritual Secret School, you will no longer be disliked, right?
"By the way, Brother Marco, listen to the conversation you just had with Gilman, when she first came to Custer, our logistics department helped her?"
Marco nodded, "It happened two years ago, when she was caught......"
It turned out that Gilman had been kidnapped and sold to Custer.
Work as a slave in Basil and do all sorts of hard work, such as making conveyor belts or helping passing merchant ships load and unload things.
Later, the person who bought her was polluted by the red moon and turned into an aberrant species, almost eating her.
It was Yegor and Marko who saved her.
Since then, Gilman has settled here, opening a shop specializing in mechanical equipment.
"That's ......"
"Not to mention that, I know a place that has what you need."
Marco looked around, the corners of his mouth furrowed: "It's not far from here." ”
"Really?"
"Just come with me."
"Okay."
Wayne was ready to give up for the time being, but he didn't expect that there would be other places to go.
Originally, he wanted to buy some semi-finished machinery and tools through Gilman, which would greatly speed up his ability to make mechanical golems.
Pity......
……
……
"On the 12th of August 1578 in the new calendar, the council of the city-state of Cust, the Inquisition, the Secret Division, and the city guard jointly investigated, and signed by the consul Samir Gonzales, the following proclamation is made:
At 11 a.m. today, the attack that occurred in the area of 1-30 in the Dumitru neighborhood was determined to have been committed by the Eternal Life Club. A total of 25 city-state citizens were killed and 78 injured in the incident......"
The "Dead Birds", who were in charge of speaking out to the outside world, read out the investigation report with a sad and helpless expression.
Faced with reporters from newspapers large and small, they had to be careful in their wording to avoid being caught in the loophole.
“…… Finally, the council has issued a directive to track down the Thousand Faces Claire of the Eternal Society, and to give an account to the city-state, so far. ”
As soon as the words ended, the surrounding reporters rushed forward and surrounded them.
"Excuse me, did the Church of Dawn injure a citizen?"
"We need more detailed truth......"
“……”
If Wayne saw such a scene, I am afraid that he would instantly return to the press conference scene in his previous life, how similar it was.
And where the reporters couldn't see, two figures, one red and one white, stood on a high place, silently watching them.
"I'm sorry Ales, I'm causing you trouble again this time."
"Andrews, I want to thank you for your rescue," Ales shook his head, "I wonder who the Guardian Knight is?" ”
"Crand's over there," Andrews said with a gentle smile, "and he still needs to adapt to the rules on Custer's side." ”
Alex said noncommittally, "The light of dawn always tangles toward Crane. ”
"No, no, no, this time it's different......"
"Because of the Holy Lady Alternate?"
"You got it?"
Ales's eyes were fixed on the dead birds downstairs who were disturbed by the reporters, "Early this morning, the council passed the contents of the meeting. ”
"Sorry, you know, I'm also for Custer's good......"
"Such words are always convincing when they come out of the mouth of you, the Bishop."
Andrews heard the sarcasm in his words, but his face did not show any emotion, and he still said with a smile: "It's better to say that this is the choice of most people." ”
Ales tilted his head to look at him, "I guess you didn't come to me this time to perfunctory me, right?" ”
"I need your help."
"Oh?"
"The Saint-in-Waiting is my student, she grows up and needs too much time, so ......"
"So," Ales took his words and said lightly, "you want me to speed up her growth?" ”
"Not just you, but some of the people in the Secret Division."
"Conditions?"
"I knew you'd agree," Andrews thanked heartily, "Dawn will bless you, Ales." ”
"You're probably old and confused, otherwise how could you not know that the person I hate the most is you church believers...... Especially the dawn! ”
"But at least you remember growing up together in Bravo, coming to Shatland together, and going through all the hardships together, don't you?"
Ales didn't say anything more, and looked down calmly downstairs with his head bowed slightly, the lenses refracted a ray of light, making it impossible to see his eyes.
"Perhaps......"
……
……
"That's where you say?"
Wayne stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, unable to believe that Marco had brought him here.
Marco raised his head and smiled smugly, "Welcome to the City That Never Sleeps, Wayne." ”
PS: If I say that there is only one chapter today, will I be beaten?
PPS: I'm kidding, there's still a chapter that will come out at 1 o'clock...... It's a bit slow to write, sorry.
