Chapter 154 You Scared Me

Chapter 154 You scared me~

"Someone once wanted to try to build one..."

At this point, the shadow paused, and the pair of eyes with flashing lights on the blurred face stared at Wei En, as if trying to arouse his interest.

Wei En glanced at the shadow, and then stepped onto the suspension bridge. He was not interested in satisfying a stranger's bad taste.

However, just now he really thought that these floating islands in front of him really existed, just like the rune patterns found on the tower before.

If such a floating island group really exists in reality, he will definitely find a chance to take a look in the future.

"Hey? Aren't you curious?" The shadow was startled and asked subconsciously.

"Curiosity, but..." Wei En did not look back, and said lightly: "I doubt the authenticity of what you said!"

The shadow saw him disappear on the other side of the suspension bridge, and his heart was almost hurt, "Are young people nowadays so impatient? Boring, boring..."

Wei En on the other side, after stepping on the first floating island, left the weirdo behind.

There are not many debris left on this floating island, which is only the size of four football fields. The ground is paved with a layer of bluestone slabs, and some grooves like drainage run straight through the top, bottom, left and right.

In the middle of the island, there is a circular pattern, which looks like a hexagram, but the nodes are not connected by lines, but small pits, each with a human statue.

In order, there are warriors or knights wearing exquisite full-body armor, female wizards holding staffs, a mechanical transformer who looks sturdy and heavy, and men wearing leather armor...

Hmm? Long ears? Elves?

Wei En squatted down and observed carefully for a while. Long ears and handsome looks are very similar to the fantasy elves he had seen in his previous life.

Is there such a race in this world?

Finally, there are two women wearing cool short skirts and holding bows and arrows...

From their dress, there is no difference from people in the real world, and there is no sign of identity.

Wei En looked around for a while, and when he saw nothing, he stood up and looked around, and walked towards a floating island on the left.

There was one of the floating islands made entirely of machinery. There were many shadows on it, as if they were also observing the structure of the floating island.

"... This is actually a reflux structure, and the rune patterns are hidden on the edge of the gears. I can't understand how it is possible?"

"The gears will definitely rotate, which means that the patterns will change accordingly. If the other gears rotate together, how can this rune array work?"

"Or is it triggered?"

"Trigger?"

"When the gears rotate to a certain point, the array will take effect instantly and dissipate instantly... Is it possible?!"

While Wei En was looking at the layout of the mechanical floating island, he listened to the discussion of the shadows around him.

From the vague outlines of these shadows, it is not difficult to see that most of them are mechanical modifiers. Even if there are no signs of modification on their bodies, they are wearing some mechanical weapons or armor.

Most of the original power is above fifty? According to the wizard level classification, it is at least the level of an intermediate wizard.

A wizard of the mechanical school?

Wei En glanced around, and the words of the weirdo before popped up in his mind. Could it be that the people who tried to create the floating island were the wizards of the mechanical school?

"Damn, this is definitely a deliberate creation of the Nightmare Cult to mislead people!"

"If you say so, I have the same feeling..."

"But I have already completed a class before... huh? There are other people here. Everyone, record your observations and summarize them with me later."

Wei En saw that the man with traces of mechanical transformation all over his body was looking at him, and walked to the other side calmly.

Fortunately, there is no fighting in the nightmare world, otherwise someone would definitely jump out and shout to him: This place has been booked by the mechanical school...

However, he didn't expect that these people were really studying the mechanical structure and runes of this floating island.

They, um, the wizards of the mechanical school, are not really going to replicate one?

Thinking of this, Wei En walked to the other side, which looked like a fortress on the high wall of the city-state-there was a hole in the round arch, hundreds of pipelines were exposed outside, and broken gears and iron sheets were scattered all over the ground.

He looked down at the rusty parts. As the mechanical wizard outside said, there was a circle of thal metal coating engraved with rune patterns on the outer edge of the gear.

How is this done?

When the gears rotate, the rune array is triggered?

If there is only one place where two gears rotate in close proximity, a complete channel can be formed, but this is only a point passage, and it needs to be connected with other patterns.

Could it be that the places where the gears touch are used as nodes, and the places where they do not touch are used as patterns-forming a pattern composed of semicircular gears along the outer ring of the gear?

Then there will be no straight lines?

Wei En frowned. This did not match the rune array patterns he had come into contact with. According to his understanding, all rune patterns are fixed and symmetrical structures.

And these gears...

As he fell into deep thought, a piece of knowledge emerged from the introductory knowledge of runes in his mind.

[Vortex structure is a knowledge system that only expert rune scholars can access. Compared with the rigid rune structure, the vortex structure can meet the needs of complex structures and is one of the most important branches in rune literature. 】

Vortex structure... Expert level...

So it's the knowledge of runes that only experts can access... Hmm?

Wei En was startled. Does that mean the knowledge involved in this floating island is real?

So - the floating island also exists? !

He hurriedly observed the mechanical fortress carefully. The cuts in the hole were very regular. It was like being pierced by something with a diameter of half a meter. The inner wall was turned outward, similar to the traces left by bullet penetration.

And at several windows, there were also some mechanical cannon wreckage, only the base was intact, and the others were broken into small pieces and scattered in various corners.

Wei En looked up again to confirm, a hole, five mechanical cannons in different positions...

He couldn't help but simulate the attack that caused such a result in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like a tentacle poked in from the outside, and then flexibly swept the mechanical cannon into a pile of parts?

Tentacle?

With such doubts, Wei En turned out of the fortress and walked around the entire mechanical floating island.

Finally, his guess was confirmed - there was indeed a battle here, no, to be more precise, a war, and the enemy attacked the turrets on the floating island at the same time.

Because, except for those mechanical cannons, there was almost no damage to other mechanical devices, and there was no trace of fighting...

"The attack landed, cleared the target and then disappeared directly?"

Wayne thought thoughtfully, maybe there was only one enemy, an enemy with hundreds of tentacles, which instantly made this mechanical floating island lose its combat effectiveness.

What size would it be?

At least it should be as big as this floating island with a diameter of one kilometer, right?

Such a huge monster...

Well, it is not beyond the scope of understanding...

Wayne suddenly remembered that he had seen the deep-sea monster Rasim before. Its size was comparable to a small island on the sea, much larger than the mechanical floating island under his feet.

"Let's go, Rechefor."

"I'll be back soon..."

Hmm?

Are we leaving?

After a while, the shadows of the mechanical school disappeared one after another.

Wei En looked up at the other floating islands, calculated the time, and followed them to leave the Nightmare World.

"Nightmare World..."

Perhaps, I should find someone from the Nightmare Sect to learn about the Nightmare World.

From the initial area with countless gloomy tombs, to the towering tower in the transit area, and then to the floating islands in the captain area.

Nothing can be seen from the tower, but the traces of debris left on the floating island just now are already very obvious.

"If it is true as that weirdo said, the Nightmare World really existed..."

That means this world has experienced a tragic war.

I just don't know which era it was...

Wai En sat in front of the workbench and let out a long breath. An epic war that disappeared in the long river of history... It sounds quite interesting.

However, he is more interested in the rune power.

Judging from the current situation, the wizards of the Mechanical School are still unclear about the production method of the mechanical floating island...

"Expert-level rune literature..."

Wai En frowned, that was too far away from him.

And even if he had mastered the knowledge related to the vortex structure, he might not be able to make a floating island.

It should be said that he didn't even have the idea of ​​trying... How rich does he have to be to build a mechanical fortress like that?

Thinking of this, Wei En put ten bottles of anti-strange potion into the mouth of the nightmare worm and completed the transaction with Franta first.

Not long after, there was a slight noise from the box.

Then, he took out the materials for making anti-strange potion from it and started making the second batch of anti-strange potion.

It took him a full eight hours to make a total of forty-five portions of the materials for anti-strange potion.

Even with his mental strength, he felt a little tired after making potions for eight hours without interruption. During this period, just trying to deal with the subtle differences in the fusion of materials consumed a lot of his energy.

Wei En looked at the blood-red glowing anti-evil potion on the workbench and let out a long sigh. There was a reason why perfect-grade potions were so difficult to make...

"Thirty bottles of perfect-grade, fifteen bottles of excellent-grade, worth three thousand seven hundred and fifty gold pounds... It's not that hard to make money, but the Black Pearl is really a piece of shit!"

Wei En took out his pocket watch to check the time and found that it was almost night, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

Thinking of this, he put away the potion, put the bullets made by Shava and the others into the mechanical door, then opened the door of the studio and looked at the people outside.

"... Reese, death."

"Tina, Reese."

"Tina, there is no Reese," Shava said with a strange click in her voice, correcting the white-haired girl's Gonzalez.

"Tina, there is no Reese."

"Yeah."

Zero next to him held the Jerry Notebook motionlessly, and the gears on his eyes turned rapidly, as if recording the contents on it.

"Is this me, Ironheart Fury... Zero... Fury sounds more domineering? Sister Sharapova, what do you think?"

"Listen to your father..."

Wayne looked around and didn't see Claire, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

That woman... is it?

He quickly took out the golden key, left the clown theater, and returned to the bedroom of the Ronan. His mental perception instantly covered the entire steamship.

"...Ms. Claire, it's not that I don't want to follow your command, but this conflicts with the captain's order. Can you please ask him first..."

"Ask? I'm the first mate of this ship, and you're the second mate. When the captain is not here, of course it's up to us to decide. Besides, just going over there to catch a fish can be our dinner, right?"

"Over there... it's off course..."

Claire crossed her arms, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Then you just watch them hanging there..."

Wayne clenched his fists, Claire...

He had already noticed the pirates who were tied upside down by their feet under the watchtower.

"First mate Claire, if the captain blames you for this..." Ronan cried.

"I'll take care of it!"

"Take care of it? How are you going to take care of it?"

"Of course..."

Claire turned around and looked at the voice, subconsciously wanting to run, but she took a few steps and then stepped back, raised her chest and said, "Of course I'll go find the captain and apologize~"

"Really?"

Wayne stared at Marco's handsome face, raised his hand and raised a finger, pointing to the top of his head, "Then what about them?"

"They..." Claire's chest, which had just been straightened, shrank back, bit her lip and rolled her eyes at him, "They coveted my beauty and said some dirty words~"

"Woo woo, no, we didn't say that, Captain!"

"Really not..."

"Huh?"

Hanging in the watchtower The pirates saw Claire's glance and paused, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying, "The first mate is right, we offended her..."

"Yes, yes, we deserve to be punished, it has nothing to do with the first mate..."

Claire turned her head and looked at Wayne pitifully, you see~

"Is that so?" Wayne took out his revolver, clicked the gun, and asked calmly: "I think that on this ship, someone dared to offend the first mate, just hanging him up is not enough... You think, right?"

Hiss--

Seeing him take out the gun, all the pirates were silent instantly. They were influenced by the fraud and recognized Wayne's identity as the captain, but it didn't mean that they had forgotten what they saw that day.

The bullet that drew strange arcs still remained in their minds.

"No, no, no, no, Captain, we didn't offend the first mate..."

"I was wrong!"

Without waiting for the pirates to speak again, Claire admitted her mistake honestly, walked to Wayne, held his hand, and pointed the gun at her chest...

"Shoot..."

Wayne stared at her eyes, not even looking down, "Are you sure?"

"I'm... not sure!" As soon as she said two words, Claire saw Wayne's eyes turn cold, and she quickly raised her hands and said, "I know I was wrong, I promise there won't be a next time!"

Bang, bang, bang...

Several gunshots suddenly rang out.

The surrounding pirates, including Ronan, subconsciously lowered their heads.

The red-haired captain... is so cruel?

Kill the first mate? !

Plop, plop... a series of heavy objects hitting the deck sounded.

"Thank you very much, Captain."

The hung pirates looked at Wayne with gratitude. If they hadn't felt any pain, they would have thought they were dead this time.

"You scared me~Captain Marco~" Claire's voice followed.

She saw it clearly just now. When Wayne fired, the muzzle of the gun was always pointed at her chest. But the result was that no bullet fell on her, but penetrated the ropes hanging the pirates...

A supernatural ability without any supernatural power?

Or just pure gun skills?

It's really terrifying!

"No next time." Wayne put away his revolver and turned to walk towards the cockpit.

"Got it, Captain!" Claire made a common pirate salute seriously, turned her head and glanced at Ronan, "Triangle-eyed second mate, why don't you hurry up and follow?"

"Yes, I'll go right over." Ronan wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. Fortunately, the first mate was fine, otherwise the people on this ship would probably not survive tonight...

Thinking of this, he hurriedly trotted into the cockpit. Well, it's right to follow the captain.

The other pirates also looked at Claire in fear, and then dispersed to make preparations before nightfall.

"Tsk, he really..."

Claire thought of Wayne's eyes just now, full of charm, and he was just an ordinary wizard apprentice half a month ago...

What a terrible talent, or is it because of that little white hair?

However, no matter what the reason is, she can only stay on the ship honestly in the future, woo woo woo...

Bad guy~

Wayne in the cockpit knew that Claire was not angry because of this. If she was really angry, she would turn against him on the spot with her temper.

After this period of getting along, he knew that he had to be stronger to deal with this woman who was not very smart.

Otherwise, there would be no pirates living independently on the ship, and they would all become puppets.

"Only sailing this far?"

Ronan pointed to the newly marked position on the nautical chart, "Affected by the storm in the morning, the speed has slowed down a lot, but fortunately there was no loss."

Wayne nodded, "It will be night soon, can we sail at night?"

"This..." Ronan hesitated, "It can be, but the sound and light will attract the surrounding mutants."

"Hmm? So what did you do last night?"

"Raise the sails, try not to deviate from the route... drift."

Wayne understood, "Then do as before."

He didn't want to face another attack from those fish last night...

"Understood, I'll get ready now."

"Wait!"

Wayne ignored Ronan's puzzled look, but pointed to the left front and frowned, "Is that ship coming for us?"

Ronan looked in the direction he pointed, his face changed slightly, "It's a ship under the Black Pearl!"

"Black Pearl..."

PS: There will be more updates in the evening.

Thanks to the three big guys, Xin Bu Le Niu, Loli Loves Fish, and Watching Starry Night 12, for the rewards, thank you very much!
