Chapter 19 19 Dungeon Settlement Time Don't Joke, This Book Doesn't Have This Setting.
Chapter 19 19. Don’t joke about the dungeon settlement time, this book does not have this setting
Mason had a terrible night's sleep.
The doomsday scenes described in the movies and various comics he had seen kept replaying in his mind, like a clumsy "doomsday movie marathon."
It was already dawn when he opened his eyes, and the sky was still a little dark but the darkness had been dispersed. Kite Man, who was cooking breakfast by the campfire, glanced at Mason who stood up and rubbed his eyes.
He quipped:
"I guess you must really like Superman and Wonder Woman."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Mason gave him a confused look, and the Kite Man shrugged and said:
"You had a really restless night's sleep. With your eyes closed, you called Wonder Woman 67 times, Superman 138 times, and some other names I've never heard of.
very messy.
So, I guess your nightmare must be terrible. "
"You are really boring, Mr. Counter."
The young man curled his lips, raised his head and drank some water to rinse his mouth. Then he heard the kite man say quietly:
"But I think you trust Batman more. You called him 487 times throughout the night, second only to the guy named 'Logan' who you called 449 times."
"Shut up!"
Mason, who had always behaved calmly and rationally, became angry at this moment. He threw the water bottle in his hand at the laughing kite man.
He was even thinking about whether to pull out Su Jie's Eagle and give this guy a sword!
Hey, you've gone too far as a little brother. Why didn't the clown kill you?
Is it because you can fly?
"Just laugh your ass off."
Mason calmed himself down, picked up the breakfast paste that the Kite Man offered him very kindly, and put it in his mouth. He took out Mr. Potter's diary from his pocket and threw it to him, gesturing for him to read it himself.
The Kite Man took it in his hand and looked at it, then his expression became more and more serious, and by the end he was full of panic.
He finally understood why Mason had nightmares like that.
"Is this doomsday disaster planned? Olechet! What are the origins of those 'world destroyers' that sound so scary?"
The Kite Man returned the diary to Mason with shaking hands. He ate his breakfast with a tasteless taste and said:
"You're worried that our world won't either! We have Batman! We have Superman! We are much more powerful than the wizards in this world!
They don't dare to come. "
"This world is not as weak as you think, it's just that zombies can't use magic."
Mason said softly:
"You have also seen that dragon with your own eyes. There should be other living dragons in this world, as well as magical creatures that are no weaker than dragons.
But they were still zombified.
Charles, we've had a glimpse of the apocalypse and we can't pretend we haven't seen it, you know what I mean? "
"You want to tell Batman what's going on here?"
Kite Man's brain is also very good, and he reacted immediately.
Mason didn't answer.
But that's exactly what he's thinking now.
He really didn't want to have any contact with the Destroyer of Worlds and the Stars where Old K was born, not to mention that Old K also told him before he died not to trust anyone in the Stars Society.
Obviously, even in the eyes of a cold-blooded bastard like Old K, the Stars Club is not a good place.
"Well, your idea makes sense. This matter is not something that both of us can handle."
The kite man nodded quickly and said:
"When the sky falls, you have to be tall to hold it up. When we go back to Gotham, we go find Batman and throw all this shit to him and his friends, and then we can live our lives easily.
Well, the train is coming! I heard the whistle.
Come on, boss, pack up and let's go. "
A few minutes later, Mason and Kite Man, who had packed their things, drove their motorcycles to the platform of the dead Hodmod Village station, opened the carriage and put the flying motorcycle inside.
After the train started, Mason walked into the front of the magic train alone.
Mason looked at the strange-shaped train engine in front of him.
That thing is like a silver-gray shell that encapsulates everything secretly. Apparently it has been magically transformed and not even a single screw can be seen on it.
He soon found several barrels of strange-smelling special liquid in a compartment at the front of the car. After identifying the character card, Mason confirmed that this was a special oil specially used for the alchemy engine, and could also be used for the engine of the flying motorcycle. .
He put the fuel into his suitcase and sighed that the magic backpack was very comfortable to use. Then he reached out and touched the weird silver-gray hood in front of him.
Information label pops up:
"Otelina" Type III Alchemical Power Engine·Mainframe
Quality: Epic Engineering/Alchemy Items·Outstanding Craftsmanship
Item description: Since the implementation of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, the admission of new students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been put on the agenda. In order to take into account safety, confidentiality and show the advancement of the wizarding world, the then Minister of Magic O Ms. Terin Gamble made a bold suggestion.
This alchemical power engine is the culmination of ancient magic skills and modern industry. It has been improved three times since its inception. All modern power devices in the wizarding world are basically derived from this, and its name is used to commemorate that person. An admirable Minister of Magic.
The engine is powered by special oil made by alchemists. It can run autonomously for months or even years in a magical environment.
To this day, the blueprint of the Otrina alchemical engine is still a top-secret document of the Ministry of Magic.
Tip: This blueprint belongs to comprehensive knowledge. The production requires Alchemy Lv4, Engineering Lv5, Enchanting Lv2 and Inscription Lv2. The blueprint is being analyzed.
"Okay."
Mason withdrew his hand regretfully.
It seems that he really needs to spend some time to quickly improve the level of his professional skills.
These mysterious blueprints are right in front of him, but he can't analyze and check them. It's really itchy, just like entering a treasure house but not being able to take away any treasure. It's frustrating.
When he turned around and went back to the carriage, he saw the kite man holding a playing card in his hand and flipping it over and over again.
After seeing Mason push the door in, the kite man Charles immediately shook the thing and said:
"Look what I found in the old clothes left by Old K? A magic card with an exotic beauty printed on it, so cool!"
"Hmm? Let me see."
Mason reached out to take the card, put it in his hand and curled his lips.
I was complaining that Old K, the demon hunter, only gave me a sword and a badge, but didn't see any trace of the Gwent card. It turned out that it was hidden here.
"Coconut milk. Uh, no, Ms. Yennefer, hello."
The young man put the card in front of his eyes, looking at the portrait of the beautiful lady in black clothes and black hair, quite oriental style on the card, he smiled and said softly.
The next second, the knowledge prompt jumped into his eyes:
"Inscription artifact detected, the item in the analysis is 'Classic Gwent Neutral Faction Legend Card Sorceress Yennefer', the effect is to play this card in the entertainment card game to gain the envy and jealous eyes of opponents and onlookers and the temporary name 'Brother Fu'.
The blueprint has been included.
The inscription skill is enabled, currently at Lv0."
"It's a very interesting toy. You can use it to get rid of loneliness when you are alone."
Mason commented and planned to return this rare card to the kite man, but when he handed the card over, he suddenly found an inconspicuous graffiti in the corner of the card.
This made the young man raise his eyebrows, and then he looked again carefully and found that the graffiti was a "K" in a special font.
"Old K?"
Mason narrowed his eyes.
He immediately guessed that this was the source of the pseudonym "Old K", and then he thought that if there was an old K, then would there be an old A, a queen, a clown and a king?
Well, after all this trouble, is it another clue suspected of a secret organization?
Why do you guys like to form this kind of secret society so much? We are already in a secret society, asshole, do we need to open an extra game?
Aren't you tired?
"Sorry, Charles."
Mason played with the cards in his hand and said to the kite man:
"I want to take this thing away, I can't give it back to you."
"It's okay, you can use it."
The kite man grinned, showing an expression of "all men understand", raised his eyebrows and said to Mason:
"Young people, I can understand that they are hot-tempered. When I was 18, I would... cough cough, I won't say it, anyway, take care of your body."
Mason rolled his eyes.
He was older than the kite man in spirit, of course he understood what this guy was saying, but he was too lazy to respond. He sat in the corner of the sofa and flipped out Lao K's alchemy notes to start studying.
Although there were more inner dramas, Mason was more reluctant to show emotional fluctuations.
He thought this was a sign of maturity and hoped that he could become a quiet handsome man.
The kite man also took out his tattered flying backpack and put it on the table, sighing while trying to repair it, but it was probably difficult to repair it in a short time since it was broken into such a horrible state.
While the two were busy like this, the train arrived at the station four hours later.
Mason walked down the ladder with his suitcase. He looked back at the exit behind the magic platform that was always shrouded in mist. This moment was really like a lifetime ago.
The kite man behind him, wearing old K's old clothes, also sighed.
This trip was only three days, but the taste was really only experienced by the two who survived in the end.
"Go check out that door."
When crossing the stone pillars of the magic platform, Mason picked up his explosive shotgun and said to the kite man. The latter looked at him and said:
"What else are you going to do? Not going home?"
"I'm going back, but I'm in a bad mood."
The young man opened the safety with a click, moved his neck, and said:
"Practice shooting first."
"I understand. I'll wait for you at the door. It's better not to delay too long. I really can't wait to see my son now."
Charles looked down at his fingers and said:
"Fuck the relationship breakdown! I've decided that I'm going to sue that woman to get my son back!"
"If you have an idea, I support you."
Mason said casually. After crossing the stone pillars of the nine and three-quarters platform, he raised his gun and locked onto a wandering zombie above. With a bang, a headless corpse fell from a height of more than ten meters.
"Successfully completed an excellent long-range precision kill, and the proficiency of the shooting branch skill increased by X5."
The prompt in front of him made Mason smile. He still remembered that he vowed to break through the shooting skill to Lv3 before he set off.
An unforgettable journey must have a perfect ending.
——
Three hours later, Mason rubbed his aching arm, carried his gun and a briefcase, and came to the door where they crossed the world.
The young man discovered a very tragic truth, that is, the improvement of various branch skills is indeed more and more difficult as you go up.
Behind him, the zombies in the entire station were almost cleared by him, and the engineering bombs he brought with him were also used up, but it took so many times of precision killing to make the shooting reach Lv3. It is really unknown when it will take to reach the maximum level.
In front of him, the kite man was already a little impatient.
He guarded the ordinary door but did not leave Mason alone, which made the young man feel a little satisfied. It seems that Charles is indeed a good partner.
Of course, it would be better if he was more powerful and more useful.
The black stone inlaid in the cat's eye of the door has dimmed, which seems to mean that the magical power of this door is about to be closed. The outer ring of its brass handle has complex scale marks. Mason has seen Lao K use this thing before. He has to twist it to a specific position to open a precise world channel.
"Come on, you seem to be good at dealing with these strange things."
The kite man stepped aside and watched Mason step forward to operate.
The young man reached out and held the brass handle. The next moment, the information label popped up:
World Shuttle Gate·Replica
Quality: Excellent Creation·Excellent Craftsmanship
Features: Strange Object Projection·Star Positioning·Time and Space Shuttle·Identity Lock·Soul Link
Status: The owner 'Lao K' died, the World Key was broken, and it needs to be re-bound before it can be used.
Effect:
Select different world coordinates, twist the handle to open the channel to different parallel worlds.
Using the World Key can change the positioning point of the World Gate in different worlds.
This item requires a specific energy stone to power it. It can be opened for five days at a time. The remaining time is [37/120 hours]. After the energy stone is exhausted, the ownerless world gate will be permanently closed.
Item Description: This world gate is just a replica of the world gate owned by the Stars. All its abilities come from the replica projection of the real legendary item.
This item can be destroyed, but it is not recommended to do so.
This prompt made Mason frown, because under the prompt, there was also an information interaction box that popped up: "The world gate can be bound to a new user, yes/no to bind?"
"What's wrong?"
The kite man saw Mason's ugly face and his heart jumped. He asked in a low voice,
Mason glanced at him and whispered:
"Old K is dead, this door may not be usable, unless one of us is willing to become its new owner."
"I'll do it!"
Charles' heart sank when he heard this, but he didn't hesitate too much when he heard Mason say that it needed to be bound before it could be used. He reached out and was about to hold the brass handle.
But Mason grabbed his wrist.
He stared at the kite man and said seriously:
"You know, once you bind to it, it is equivalent to joining the Star Club! Old K told me before he died that the Star Club is not a good thing!"
"What should we do then?"
The kite man asked back excitedly:
"We can't go back without it! My child is still waiting for me, and I don't want to live in this dead world in the future! Mason, are you willing to spend the rest of your life surrounded by a group of zombies?"
Charles, who was green all over, lowered his head. He was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I owe you a life, I owe you a lot of favors. Without your help, I would have been used as cannon fodder. I am not kidding to recognize you as the boss.
I know what I should do in this situation.
I also know that you have concerns, so I come."
Mason looked at the kite man in front of him. He was silent for nearly ten seconds, shook his head, and said faintly:
"No, you are too weak, and you probably won't be able to hold on."
"You TM look down on me?"
Charles gritted his teeth and shouted.
But the next moment he saw a ball of red light light up from the door handle, quickly spreading to Mason's wrist, leaving a weird ring mark on his forearm as the young man cried out in pain.
"Do you know the rules? Didn't Penguin teach you how to be a boss?"
The Kite Man was really anxious now.
He tried to push Mason away from the door handle and shouted:
"That's not how Gotham's gangs work! It's the boss who has something to do and the younger brother who takes the blame, not the boss who takes the blame for the younger brother! You will be killed if you are so naive in Gotham, bastard!"
"Don't worry!"
Mason, whose arm was covered by red light, gritted his teeth and pressed Kite Man's shoulder. He said hoarsely:
"You are also involved! Old K, that bastard, came here to rebuild the team, so now we must be a team to complete the contract he made in the Star Club.
Fortunately, I was kind enough to save you, a fool, or I would really be alone in this world for the rest of my life."
"That's right."
The Kite Man grinned.
Seeing the red light from Mason's hand "flowing" onto his shoulder, he laughed and said:
"Good things happen to good people, boss. To be honest, I saw you were a good person when we came here. But now stop talking nonsense, open the door, and let's go back.
I've had enough of this damn place!"
"Yeah."
Mason glanced at the flashing reminder on the character card that "external forces are suspected to be exerting 'soul curse'", shook his head, and turned the door lock.
Amid the flickering light of the dim stars, the light curtain leading to Gotham appeared in front of the new boss and his younger brother.
After being out for so long, it's time to go home.
