Chapter 308: Steampunk in the Heart of the Earth II

Watching him gradually walk towards him, Jaina involuntarily took two steps back, his eyes full of horror, "No, friend, that's Rook's fault, everything has nothing to do with me. ”

Emperor Zhu Wuhuang didn't make it difficult for Jianna, "Now, can I go and see him?"

Janna, who reacted, hurriedly said, "Yes, of course, please take this way." ”

After saying that, Jana, who was sweating finely, hurriedly led a group of followers to walk towards the other road first.

"It's incredible, I thought you were going to be buried in the earth just now?" said the mountain spirit incredulously, "How did you manage to deal with the armor in such a short time?"

"It's very simple, just push it flat," Emperor Zhu Wuhuang shrugged, then waved his hand and said, "I killed that bearded man, and the rest of the wreckage will be left to you to deal with." ”

"Don't worry, there will be relevant personnel to clean it up later, as for Rook, that garbage will die," the mountain spirit looked disgusted, "I'll ask Gwenk's administrator later, how did Jane get control of the Warframe without the consent of the management!"

After this episode, Emperor Zhu Wuhuang had a deeper understanding of this mountain clan.

Just when he fought with Rook, judging from Rook's instinctive reaction, he was actually just an ordinary person who didn't have the power to kill.

But the battle armor he controlled was a real one, with the high-level energy of the god-killing envoy, otherwise it would not have made the envoy's middle-level mountain spirit so jealous.

Judging from the dismantled warframes that were dismantled into blocks, the steam engines used to produce mechanical kinetic energy were almost reduced to the size of a heart, and only two of these steam engines were needed to ensure the energy consumed to produce the warframes.

Moreover, the entire warframe is equipped with four hidden turbines, which ensures the premise of maximizing fuel use, allowing the warframe to make complex and fast steering movements.

But if it is only equipped with these, it is at most a walking fort, which is still useful against ordinary people, but it is far from being able to compete with the messengers who master the power of nature.

Emperor Zhu Wuhuang believed that the essence of the dualistic world was no different from the spiritual power, mental power, and true qi, and they all belonged to a kind of power that was empty but real.

Gifted human beings can capture this power in the air and use it for their own use, but what really achieves self-transformation is the continuous accumulation of this power to achieve qualitative change, so as to completely change the functions of the body.

You can manipulate the killing power you have in your hands to achieve the goal of defeating your opponent.

The power of killing is the most important medium for human beings to pursue the ultimate power and change themselves.

Now, this inherent perception is being shattered here.

In the battle armor that was dismantled by Emperor Zhu Wu, the large number of transistors covering the inner layer flowed with a steady stream of liquid killing power.

The manipulator only needs to turn the valve, and he can easily control this armor that rivals that of a high-ranking emissary.

Even if the operator is an old and weak ordinary old man, he can still kill a strong person like the mountain spirit.

Great Zhu Wuhuang guessed that the reason why this kind of battle armor could only reach the combat power of high-level envoys may be because he didn't understand the medium that broke through the overlord realm, not because the process didn't meet the requirements.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the reason why the mountain tribe had been cowering in this remote area for so many years, whether they were constantly accumulating their own strength, and wanted to use their own strength to try to promote a deformed revolution that should not exist in the first place?

This is not the whimsy of Emperor Zhu Wuhuang, from the air steam airship, to the terrifying power of the humanoid battle armor, to the gear copper bee that can be used as a communication, and the well-established dock port outside the city.

All of them are preparing for a war that is not coming.

The answer to everything can only be understood when I see the ancestor of the mountain clan.

Under Janer's leadership, the buildings on both sides of the street were truly reduced, and the wide sides of the road were replaced by solemn and sharp cross fences.

The alien dwellings no longer appeared, and the neat canopy of the plane trees shaded the sunlight high in the sky.

The Church of the Pointed Arch, which is unique to the Victorian era, appears almost every other distance.

And on this long street, it seems that outsiders can't enter, and I haven't seen anyone else after walking for half a day.

Soon, a number of stylish cars arrived, apparently to pick up the crowd.

Sitting in the car again, feeling the feeling of pushing the back of the engine under him, Da Zhu Wuhuang couldn't help but have a tearful impulse, his two-petaled buttocks, which had been calloused by the horse's back a long time ago, were finally liberated.

The car drove at a constant speed, and soon it was driving to a courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, shuttling through the labyrinthine garden, Emperor Zhu Wu saw a huge castle with solemn towering heights from afar.

The mountain spirit reminded at the right time that that was where the ancestors lived.

The car came to a slow halt in front of the castle, and then the castle gate opened, and a butler in a gown stepped out of it.

"Welcome home, miss. The butler bowed slightly, smiling, "The old ancestor has been waiting for the young lady and the guests from afar for a long time. ”

"How is the situation of the old ancestor, is it a little better than before?" Shan Ling stepped forward quickly, his face was extremely nervous, obviously he cared very much about the situation of the old ancestor.

"He's fine, except that he misses Miss a little. The butler said with a smile, and then invited everyone into the castle.

Jian Na and the others, who wanted to enter together, were first persuaded to retreat by the housekeeper, indicating that the ancestor did not want to see them.

As the castle gate closed, everything inside the castle attracted the eyes of the Great Zhu Wuhuang.

The straight and angular lines that belong to the Gothic style perfectly shape the space of the castle.

The ribbed arch as the supporting skeleton provides a unique beauty, and the ribbed arches are distributed on each ribbed arch with one after another pointed arch colored inlaid glass.

Sunlight from the windows casts onto the castle floor through the huge glass windows, creating a unique iridescent color that gives people a dreamlike feeling of being out of this world.

Looking up, the dome is covered with brightly colored scrolls, mostly from the Bible.

The castle is not empty, as there are delicate sculptures made of gears and leather scattered throughout the interior.

This castle of Victorian civilization collides with a large number of gear sculptures to create a unique steampunk phenomenon.

The soft woolen blanket under his feet was spread all the way up the duplex staircase to the second floor, and as he ascended the staircase, he saw a female sculpture standing on the side of the staircase.

It is a typical Caucasian sculpture.

The second floor is not as extravagant as expected, and does not even highlight any architectural features, except for the soft light of the lamps on the sides of the walls.

"Please come with me, two guests. The butler reminded softly.

As he followed the butler, Emperor Zhu noticed that the portraits hanging on the wall were all the same woman, that is, the sculpture standing on the first floor.

It wasn't until he reached the end of the corridor that the butler stopped at the innermost door, and then stretched out two fingers and knocked lightly.

Soon, a gentle voice sounded from inside the door, "Is it Jian Ting, please come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and the huge room was filled with nothing but a wooden bed and a row of bookshelves filled with small sculptures.

On the wooden bed, there sat an old man with gray hair.

At this moment, this old man, half-sitting on the bed, with the always delicate monoculars, is engrossed in operating on a puppy?

The butler, named Jian Ting, made a silent gesture and then exited the door.

Soon, as he put the last gear into the puppy's belly, the old man raised his head and smiled, "Welcome." ”

"Wow!"

The crisp barking of the milk dog rang out, and the little dog jumped off the bed and staggered in front of everyone.

After seeing it clearly, Da Zhu Wuhuang was secretly taken aback, because it was not a real puppy, but a puppy made entirely of gears and bearings.

But this puppy made of metal is no different from a real puppy, and even the agility in his eyes is not reduced by half.

The mountain spirit bent down and picked up the gear puppy, and ran to the side of the bed very happily, "Ancestor, Ling'er has come to see you." ”

The old man touched the head of the mountain spirit very dotingly, then looked at Da Zhu Wuhuang and Lu Ruxu, and finally locked his eyes on Da Zhu Wuhuang.

Emperor Zhu Wuhuang smiled slightly, "Hello, old man." ”

"Ling'er, you go out for a while, I want to talk to the guests about something alone. ”

The mountain spirit nodded, and walked out of the door with the puppy in his arms, while Lu Ruxu also left at the signal of the Great Zhu Wuhuang.

"You may be seated. ”

Da Zhu Wuhuang moved a chair casually and sat at a distance of half a meter away from the old man, which was the most comfortable distance relative to strangers, neither rusty nor aggressive.

Without waiting for the old man to speak first, Emperor Zhu Wuhuang spoke first, "Dare to ask the old man, how did you confirm that I am from the earth?"

The long hair was loosely tied behind him with a white belt, a black robe, and a long knife behind his back, which was the shape of Emperor Zhu Wu at the moment, which was no different from the local natives.

The old man smiled happily and stretched out his palm towards Emperor Zhu Wu, "With intuition, and the bloodline of the same clan is attracted. ”

The palms of the two hands were clasped tightly together.

"After more than 2,000 years of waiting, it finally came to fruition just as I was about to leave. Although the old man's words were warm, tears began to overflow in his cloudy eyes.

The old man and the Great Zhu Wuhuang belong to the same lineage, and they are both Huaguo clans.

After a while, the old man told his story.

"My ancestral home in the Jiangnan area, the clan hereditary weaving industry, is a well-known and wealthy merchant in the local area, but later during the turmoil, in order to avoid the impending disaster, the Ju clan began to move to Guangzhou, during this period, my mother in order to avoid this disaster, entrusted me to the missionary of the clan, and gave me a jade medallion, as well as a music box, so that I could exchange some money in the future. ”

"After that, I went on a ferry with the missionaries to the country of Ying. ”

"I have lived in the country for almost thirty years, married the daughter of a missionary, have a very sweet pair of children, and have a decent job at the most famous local factory in the country, Gwynck. ”

"Before I even started working, there was a revolution in Yingguo, and I was able to learn the most advanced steam technology at the time. ”

"I thought my life would be spent in the Gwenk factory, but on an ordinary day, I was summoned by King George at the time. ”

"I was also summoned to meet with my wife, who worked with me, and hundreds of other colleagues. ”

"But it was actually a conspiracy, and the mutineers who tried to stop the revolution pretended to be King George and gave the order," said this, the old man's pupils flashed with anger, even after thousands of years, he still hated it.

"The mutineers led us to Hanayin Square, tore off our hypocritical faces, and carried out the most brutal massacre against us!"

"I wanted to flee with my wife, but mutineers came from all directions, killing with sharpened crosses, and claiming to be acting in God's place. ”

"When there were only a dozen or so companions left in the square, the seal I had worn around my neck since childhood shone brightly, and then I came into this world. ”

"In addition to my wife, I came with more than a dozen Ying Guo colleagues. ”

After listening to the old man's narration, Emperor Zhu Wuhuang was secretly surprised, this kind of thing has always only happened in China, and he didn't expect to be able to cross in a foreign country.

And it's still a group wear!

There are even foreigners in the team!

But soon the old man added, "After coming to this world, more than a dozen of my foreign colleagues began to die one after another for unknown reasons, and finally only five remained. ”

It seems that the crossing still depends on Huaguo, and the foreigner's unsuitability is too serious. Emperor Zhu Wu secretly affirmed.

After saying that, the old man asked again, "How did you come to this place from Earth?"

Emperor Zhu Wu scratched his head, he can't say that he came here to test, right?

After thinking about it for a while, he spoke, "I slept inexplicably, and then I crossed over to this place. ”

Emperor Zhu Wuhuang didn't tell a lie, he just changed his address.

The old man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly took out a small pendant seal from his bosom, "Didn't you use this kind of thing, or did you use some other medium?"

Great Zhu Wuhuang glanced at the pendant and shook his head, "It's true that I slept and wore it inexplicably." ”

A flash of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes, and after putting the pendant back in his arms, he began to ask about the situation of the earth after him.

He also truthfully followed the timeline at that time, and talked about his own time.

After hearing that the earth's steam age was quickly replaced by electricity more than 100 years later, the loneliness in the old man's eyes could not be concealed.

"That's all I know, the continuous progress of the times is not something that can be stopped when there is some resistance. Emperor Zhu Wu was relieved, "This is the case in every era. ”

But the old man seemed a little stubborn, and he shook his head slowly, "Steam shouldn't have stopped developing in such a short time, it must be because of our disappearance that it will cause another situation." ”
