Morningstar City, in the office on the seventh floor of the central tower.
"Alchemist" Annick Splinter picked up a cup of hot water soaked in unknown plant roots, savoring the unique bitterness mixed with sweetness, while describing something on a piece of paper.
As one of the current top members of the Floating City Council, Annick did not undergo complete mechanical transformation. Instead, he retained his nose, mouth, esophagus, and corresponding digestive and excretory organs, so he can enjoy the wonderful experience brought by food. .
Of course, the corresponding food also requires energy points to be redeemed.
However, the reason why he retains these organs is not entirely for the sake of his words, but because he is in charge of a "1" sealed item "Gron's Stomach" in "Morning Star City".
——Gron was one of the four popes of the "True Creator" church who rebelled, and he was also the only demigod. He was eventually killed by the council members of "Morning Star City" together. But even if there were many against one, the Supreme Council had to pay the price of the death of two 'alchemists' to completely kill it... Later, after the processing of the masters, it was made into a relatively small negative effect. Small, but somewhat troublesome item to seal.
Not to mention other harsh conditions, except that they must have a real stomach of flesh and blood in order to be properly "sealed", and they are required to be fed blood food every once in a while, most people have already completed the mechanical transformation. People in "Morning Star City" are not very friendly.
That's why Annick retained his own eating, digestion, and excretion systems later on, when he was the youngest and the one who didn't have to worry about lifespan and aging issues.
As a student of the "Machine Emperor", he is obliged to make sacrifices.
The only good thing is that although the sealing conditions are very troublesome, this sealed object also has the ability to slow down the aging rate of Annick's unmodified parts. Therefore, even though more than two hundred years have passed, the functions of his flesh and blood organs have not been restored. Something too big went wrong.
Moreover, he and another member of the Supreme Council, Ms. Eleanor, who had almost no mechanical modifications, made outstanding contributions to the food luxury industry of "Morning Star City".
It can be said that just the two of them support at least nearly 500 residents in this industry chain.
——In order to stimulate domestic demand, revitalize the economy with such limited supplies, and prevent the residents of the city from becoming numb and degenerate, lest they pray to the evil god again... the people on the Supreme Council have taken great pains! Fortunately, when the "Mechanical Emperor" was still alive, he taught his student Annick some basic economics and sociology knowledge.
The reason why Ms. Eleanor has been able to live for more than two hundred years without being completely "mechanically transformed" as an "alchemist" is because in the battle with Gron that year, It was related to the overuse of another "1" level sealed item, "Honey Nest", and in the end it had to be integrated with it.
"Honey Nest" is an item created with the "Ancient Alchemist" attribute in Sequence 4 of the "Cultivator" path. Its original function need not be mentioned, but after being integrated with Ms. Eleanor, it can be used to a certain extent. Increase crop harvest, targeted breeding and hybridization of species with specific functions, produce a honey juice that can be used as energy, and consume the honey juice when fighting is needed, allowing Ms. Eleanor to give birth quickly, with 10% to 50% of her strength. A clone controlled by her.
As long as enough "nectar" is accumulated, there is theoretically no upper limit to the number of clones Ms. Eleanor can give birth to.
Corresponding to these powerful effects, Ms. Eleanor became a "plant" after the war. She was restricted to the "Reproduction Hall" and the botanical garden, unable to move, and had to suffer from irregularities. The pain of “birth”…
Yes, because after entering the strange Afternoon Town, even people who have not undergone any transformation can no longer successfully give birth to children... Therefore, in the past two hundred years, any newborn born in the "Reproduction Hall", in fact All were conceived by Lady Eleanor.
Back to the topic, just when "Alchemist" Annick Splinter moved the charcoal pencil in his hand to a certain position and prepared to draw, his inspiration was suddenly touched, and then he sensed it through his detection plug-in. The "Sun God Furnace", one of the four major systems of "Morning Star City", began to operate at full power for unknown reasons. It filled three energy bins in just a few seconds, but there was still no sign of weakening.
Annick originally knew the "Sun God Furnace" very well, but after all, he had not paid attention to it for more than two hundred years, and for a while he couldn't find a way to deal with it.
Seeing that the spare energy warehouse was almost full, Annick gritted his teeth and used the emergency authorization to activate all high-energy-consuming projects in "Morning Star City".
This includes lights in all areas of the city...
For a time, "Morning Star City" was as bright as day.
Half a minute later, two figures broke into the office on the seventh floor. One of them was covered in black metal, with four propellers behind them, and six pairs of arms on both sides like insects.
The metal surface is polished so that it can reflect light and reflect the human figure, just like a multifunctional mecha in a science fiction world.
The other one is a little girl who looks to be only three or four years old, with transparent thin wings like a bee on her back... She is obviously the doppelgänger of Ms. Eleanor.
"What happened?" the man in the black mecha asked in a stiff electronic voice.
"I don't know... the 'Sun Furnace' suddenly resumed operation, and there was a serious excess of energy, so I had to activate emergency authority and activate all high-energy-consuming projects in the city." A red light flashed back and forth in Annick's slender eyes. , reflecting the unrest in his heart.
"How come the Sun God Furnace suddenly started operating?" After speaking, the man in the black mecha quickly controlled some of his components and entered the room where the "Sun God Furnace" was installed. After a brief inspection, he found nothing, and the electronic sound also came through. There was a hint of confusion and he said, "There is no problem...it's just that there is a source of energy suddenly..."
At this time, Eleanor, who had been silent, suddenly said: "When He returns, the morning star will surely shine, and disaster will be far away..."
Hearing this, the red light in Annick's slender "eyes" became even brighter. He immediately performed some operations on the console in front of him, followed by the scene where "Morning Star City" connected to the middle steps of Afternoon Town. It was projected onto the wall of the office.
The three of them stared intently. After a minute, the picture did not change at all. The black mecha ejected some gas, and the electronic sound sounded again: "Although this 'prophecy' was said by the emperor himself... it should only be used for... comfort……"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, because in the projected picture, a young man holding a "Gear Book" was gently crossing the steps of the afternoon town, entering the "Morning Star City" in just one step...
He completely ignored the "dark night barrier" that is the floating city's greatest reliance!
