Main Text Volume Chapter 447: Puppet Fortress
Ever since Falga was tricked by the shadows, he had been hanging far behind them. Because Bogula's order was that everyone must return to the fortress, Falga did not dare to leave the team without permission.
Falga's dark eyes kept staring at them.
Shadow whispered: "That guy is as petty as Isabella, just ignore him."
Little Dou Ding Tuya next to Shadow also nodded: "Yes, Brother Angel, ignore him, he is just a childish ghost. Last time he secretly wanted to give Dudu a master-servant contract, but I discovered it. He still doesn’t admit it.”
Tuya hugged Dudu and kept rubbing Dudu's belly hair with his short fleshy hands.
Tuya was Bogula's only apprentice, and Angel only found out about it yesterday. He has only been in the industry for just one year, and now he has reached the bottleneck of a first-level apprentice, which shows that his talent cannot be underestimated.
And his pet Dudu... Angel couldn't see through it. He always felt that there was a terrifying power hidden under that cute appearance.
He also asked Shadow, but Shadow smiled and said nothing, only saying that Dudu was Tuya's natural pet, and they had been together since birth. Although it looks like a cub, it is cute and cute, but its power is immeasurable, and it may have reached a level comparable to Naga.
"Falga is the apprentice of the 'Eternal Black Crow' Taolos, and is also a relative of Taolos." After a pause, Shadow continued: "Because of this, Falga's character is a bit arrogant, and he thinks he has It’s great to have a backer. I guess he doesn’t like you because he thinks you are more popular than him.”
"Am I more popular than him?" Angel didn't know what kind of limelight he had.
"Since I told you that you have been exposed to mystery, many wizards came to visit you yesterday, wanting to visit you. However, the wizard tower has a mentor's barrier, so they can't get in." Shadow spread his hands.
I was visited by an official wizard? Angel suddenly felt that this matter was too bizarre. The distance between official wizards and apprentices was so huge. Most wizards even regarded apprentices as ants. How could there be a formal wizard willing to "visit him without shame"?
"Anyway, you are famous now, but your influence may not have spread yet. But fame spreads very quickly. Many wizards like to read gossip at home. Maybe you will be famous in a few years. The wizarding world." Shadow said, seeming to be somewhat proud of being a friend.
Angel nodded as if he understood. He had no idea about reputation. Therefore, he has not yet expected what kind of consequences his fame may bring to him, good...or bad.
They walked leisurely from the teleportation hall to Bogula Fortress. Anyway, Bogula did not set a time limit, so they simply walked around while shopping.
Along the way, Angel also gradually got a glimpse of the true side of Sky Mechanical City.
Let’s talk about the human part first. Although there are many extraordinary people in Sky Mechanical City, most of them are still mortals. Most of the mortals here are relatives of extraordinary people, and many of them run shops within their clan. Angel went to visit a few shops, and almost all of them were mortals doing sales work. As for extraordinary people, they rarely wander around the streets.
According to Shadow, extraordinary people actually gather on the opposite side of Mechanical City.
Speaking of pros and cons, we have to mention the structure of Sky Mechanical City.
The Mechanical City has two sides. The front is the main city area, and the teleportation hall, auction, ordinary shops, and other forces' garrison locations are all on the front.
The reverse side is under the Mechanical City, which is the area with dense chimneys. Stepping on the ground, looking up, what you see is the opposite side of Mechanical City.
Regardless of the area on the back, to the naked eye, buildings or creatures seem to be hanging upside down, but the rules of gravity there are different. There is no feeling of hanging upside down when you actually reach the back.
As a wizard organization, Sky Mechanical City's real base is on the other side.
"Originally, the mentor also lived on the opposite side, but a group of alchemists made it a mess, so the mentor moved to the main city." Speaking of this, Shadow also felt a little emotional: "In fact, the concentration of magic power on the opposite side is higher, but because of the environment Too bad, most of the non-alchemy wizards live in the main city. Now it has become a paradise for alchemists and wizard apprentices. "
"But there are many alchemist-specific props and materials for sale on the reverse side. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look." Shadow suggested.
Angel shook his head. He did not lack materials for the time being, but he lacked strength...
Having said that about the people and structure here, there is another thing that is special: the rules.
The front of Sky Mechanical City, which is the main city area, is covered with magic eyes. Their function is to monitor energy fluctuations during battles and resolutely resist anyone from engaging in armed fighting here.
If discovered, they will be blacklisted by Sky Mechanical City and will be refused any future contact.
Of course... this restriction order is limited to apprentices and some weaker wizards.
After nearly two hours, they finally arrived at the fortress where Bogula lived.
The shape of the fortress was just a hemisphere, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it. However, Angel noticed that there were many weird and strange puppets around the fortress. There are living golems, corpse golems, and golems made from strange and weird materials.
Men, women, old and young, people, animals and plants, all in strange shapes and full of weird atmosphere.
When the group of them stepped into the fortress, Angel felt a cold atmosphere shrouding the place. These demon puppets also followed their steps and turned their dull, cold eyes to stare at them.
Falgar was originally hanging behind them for thirty or forty meters. When he arrived at the fortress, he ran to Shadow without stopping, not daring to stay away.
"Don't leave my ten-meter range, otherwise those defensive puppets will attack you." Shadow said.
All the way, they arrived at the fortress.
There was a metal sphere floating in the air outside the fortress, which was very similar to the Magic Eye they encountered before.
"Mr. Diablo, welcome home." The Magic Eye made a mechanical sound.
"Butler Kaza, take this stinky bat... to the guest room on the second floor." Shadow pointed at Falgar and ordered the Magic Eye.
"Kaza received." A faint white light shone from the pupils of the Magic Eye, pointing to a certain place: "Please follow me, guest."
Falgar had a gloomy face and glared at Shadow fiercely: "Diabolo, let's see."
"Who cares about you." Shadow spat.
Falgar was obviously very familiar with this place. He almost left without the Magic Eye leading the way.
"Let's go, the annoying guy is gone. I'll take you to your room." After Shadow said this to Angel, he said to Tuya, "Go back by yourself and meditate obediently. I'll teach you magic tricks in the evening."
Tuya's eyes lit up and nodded. However, he did not leave immediately, but looked at Angel with a blushing face: "Brother Angel, I saw your bird."
Shadow stared at Angel with a perverted look.
"When I took Dudu out to play in the morning, I saw you take out a little bird like a magic trick through the crack of the door." Tuya gestured with a little bird in his hand.
Seeing this, Shadow suddenly realized that the bird Tuya was talking about was actually Toby.
Angel had been keeping Toby in his bracelet and asked Babaya to lead the tribe to take care of him. In the morning, when he was making drinking water for the Kulakuka tribe, Babaya said that Toby's eyelids were twitching, and it seemed that he was about to wake up. Angel took it out and looked at it, but Toby was still sleeping.
It was just a moment, but Tuya saw it unexpectedly.
"The clothes on that bird are so beautiful. Can brother Angel make a set of clothes for Dudu?" Tuya lifted Dudu up high and held it in front of Angel.
Dudu is a cat. As it was lifted up, its tail naturally erected, covering the key parts.
Before Angel could answer, Shadow slapped Tuya's head: "Little rascal, there are many people selling clothes outside. You want your brother Angel to make clothes for Dudu, but you are just trying to blackmail him for an alchemical armor. Don't think I don't understand your thoughts."
While speaking, Shadow pushed Tuya aside: "Being cute in the wizarding world doesn't work. Do you understand what equal exchange is? You have to pay for what you want. Take Dudu back quickly."
Tuya pouted and walked into the fortress, looking back every three steps.
Although Angel didn't plan to help Tuya refine any armor, he felt a little itchy when he heard him say that. The clothes with magic barrier that Dadwaya gave him were broken. In addition to the Wanyu Nova Magic Pattern Leather Scroll, he really lacked a piece of protective gear that could be used.
He also had Axo's snake scales in his hand. Although it was a bit unrealistic to refine them at present, if he could sew a heart armor, it should also have a great defensive effect.
Angel was imagining in his mind while following the shadow into the fortress.
"You'd better not let Dodoro out. The mentor can tolerate you, but not necessarily others." Shadow took Angel to the temporary bedroom and warned him, "Toby doesn't care. After all, magic pets are something every wizard should have."
Dodoro is currently learning to speak and read with Grandma Babaya. Angel went to see him and found that Dodoro was not noisy, and his progress was even faster than when Grandma Du Shan taught him.
But what caught Angel's attention was that Dodoro often glanced at the luggage bag in the space, which contained his bowl. If his range of action had not been restricted, Duoduoluo would have gone to get the bowl immediately.
"I understand." Angel nodded in agreement.
"You can stay here for the next two days. I will contact some friends outside to see if I can help you find a place to hide." Shadow paused: "As for the Purification Garden... I have already told you last time, you'd better keep it in mind. Think about it more."
"You don't have to worry about the mentor for now. This morning, I heard from the mentor that something big will happen in the Sky Mechanical City recently. He may go to the Mechanical City to deal with things in the next few days. He should not force you to make a decision immediately. But you should also be prepared. It is best to tell me your thoughts and make a decision before the mentor comes back."
