Chapter 370: The Crowd Is Bustling
Chu Ming smiled and said, "I have seen the finished product. It is really good. I look forward to your performance at the booth."
"You go in first. I will let the knight escort you there."
Mia bowed her head and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Ryan. If it weren't for you, I would not be able to make such a good work."
Thanks to Chu Ming's appreciation and the help of many puppeteers, she not only completed the puppet work, but also gained valuable experimental experience and knowledge.
Chu Ming patted her shoulder, "Work hard and strive to become a puppet master in the future."
After watching the group being escorted to the magic airship by Nathan and Mirissa, he turned and looked down at Lutishia and thought about it.
"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
Lutishia asked curiously.
"Nothing, go and call Ana, we are ready to go."
"Okay."
The girl showed a happy face, humming a song, and jumping into the house.
Chu Ming looked at her back and thought about other things.
In fact, he was worried about what would happen after taking Lutishia and Ana to the puppet exhibition.
But he suddenly thought that if Victor had any plans for the memory entity, and the guild had no legendary guards, wouldn't it be more dangerous for him to leave Ana and the others in the guild?
Besides, Lutizia was a legendary Holy Tree God's Chosen, and maybe she could play a role at the exhibition.
After waiting in the yard for a while, Lutizia came out with Ana, and on the other side, Krono and the others were ready and walked out of the house.
Krono did not wear a wizard robe as usual, but a heavy magic-forbidden armor.
Chu Ming's expression moved slightly. He sensed that Krono had become much weaker, and the man seemed to be using an elemental body.
He said speechlessly: "You are so afraid of getting hurt with this combination of armor and elemental body."
Krono patted his chest armor and said: "This elemental body is very precious. If it breaks, I will be heartbroken."
Chu Ming nodded.
"It's better to be careful."
"Are you all ready? Let's go."
Lutisia waved excitedly. She had been looking forward to the opening of the puppet exhibition for a long time.
"Let's go!"
The four followed Chu Ming out of the guild. The figure of the space wizard Marcus appeared behind them, looming.
The opening day of the puppet exhibition is the most important day for the puppet capital and even the entire puppet country.
During these few days, people can not only see all kinds of strange puppets, but also witness the future of the puppet country through new puppets.
Therefore, both royal nobles and ordinary civilians attach great importance to the puppet exhibition.
As soon as Chu Ming and others walked out of the guild, they saw the streets full of ribbons, and the flags of the puppet country were planted on the roofs, swaying in the wind.
The streets were bustling with people, and the citizens cheered and marched towards the direction of the magic airship.
Not only the Knight Street, but other streets have been filled with people. If you choose to travel by carriage, you will probably be stuck on the road and will not be able to reach the location of the magic airship tonight.
Moreover, the City Hall of the Puppet City issued a no-fly order a few days ago. The cargo airships that were busy in the sky can no longer be seen, and even extraordinary professionals are not allowed to fly at low altitudes.
"Mr. Marcus, can you get through them?"
Chu Ming pointed to the crowded street in front
"No problem, Your Highness."
The old man saluted slightly, and the staff struck the ground, and silver ripples spread out in circles, quickly enveloping everyone.
But before a few people started to teleport, a hurried shout came from the sky.
"Mr. Ryan, please wait a moment."
The old man paused, and the silver light on his body disappeared.
Chu Ming looked up and saw three huge eagles perched in the sky, with iron feathers bathed in the sun and glowing slightly coldly.
Looking at the back of the eagle, the man riding on the back of the eagle was the Iron Eagle Knight Haven, whom he had met several times.
He shouted in surprise: "Mr. Haiwen, why are you here?"
Krono took the opportunity to whisper: "When Elena and I were robbing the magic crystal, we met Haiwen, the captain of the Iron Eagle Knight Team. Fortunately, he still knew us, otherwise we would have been taken to prison by the knights."
Chu Ming's expression moved slightly, and soon, a cold iron shadow fell from the sky, and Haiwen jumped off the eagle's back.
The man smiled and said: "At this time of year, the streets of the Magic Puppet City are so crowded that it is difficult to move, so any guest with an admission ticket will be taken by the knight or the airship."
"Mr. Ryan, Mr. Krono, please bring a few friends up, I will escort you."
The Iron Eagle stood behind Haiwen like a steel statue. When they saw Haiwen preparing to come up, they shook their bodies and spread their wide iron wings that were tens of meters long.
"Li!"
The Iron Eagle cried, as if to signal Chu Ming and others to come up.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Haven."
Chu Ming thanked the man and jumped onto the eagle's back first. Krono and Elena also landed on it after their bodies turned into elements.
"Ana, I can't get on."
Lutishia compared her height with that of the Iron Eagle, and her face looked a little worried.
"Princess, I'll carry you on my back."
Ana squatted down.
"Hehe..."
Elena jumped up happily and grabbed his neck with both hands.
Seeing that the girl had a firm grip, he jumped lightly and landed next to Chu Ming.
"Everyone, hold on tight, we're going to get up now!"
"Li!"
The iron eagle flapped its wings, and magic patterns flowed all over its body. The strong wind blew out from the magic circle under the iron wings. It carried the cyan flowing wind and flew to the high altitude in an instant.
"So fast!"
The magic circle protected Chu Ming and others from the strong wind.
Chu Ming looked towards the direction where Tie Ying was heading. The huge magic airship made a roaring sound, and the water waves on the hull were surging. It was like an ordinary mirror, magnifying the booth on the airship deck from different angles.
When some golems walk around on it, they will also cause cheers from the citizens on the street.
Tie Ying flew at extremely high speed, and before Chu Ming could react, he crashed into the water mirror, causing ripples.
Their vision was temporarily obscured, and then became bright again. They were hovering over the airship, and they could see people coming and going on the wide deck. The puppeteers were toasting and chatting happily.
Crono said in surprise: "I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time since I left the Violet Principality."
As he spoke, his tone showed a hint of helplessness, "Sure enough, the difference between the Reran Kingdom and the powerful southern countries is the difference between the countryside and the city."
Chu Ming smiled and said: "As a traditional knight kingdom, the Clinton Kingdom is not much different from the Reran Kingdom. The Demon City is indeed more lively than the two kingdoms."
The Iron Eagle's flight altitude continued to decrease and landed on the deck.
Haven apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lane, I still have patrol missions to complete, so I'll excuse you for now."
Chu Ming waved his arm to the man, "Mr. Haiwen, let's talk when you have time."
"well."
The knight smiled heartily and flew up again on the iron eagle.
After Haiwen left, the waiters around him greeted him.
"Gentlemen and ladies, there is still space here, please follow me."
In order to provide the puppet masters with a better view of the exhibition, a U-shaped high seat platform has been built on the deck, and the seats are arranged in steps.
The puppet exhibition was about to begin, and the puppet masters took their seats one after another. Under the guidance of the waiter, Chu Ming and the others moved to the front row where they had a good view.
This position can clearly see the booth, and the height will not affect the perception, as if it has been arranged long ago.
"Teacher, teacher, when will Sister Mia and the others appear?"
Luticia asked coquettishly while sitting next to him, shaking his arm.
"Let me see."
Chu Ming took the directory handed over by the waiter and began to search carefully.
On the list, two hundred and sixty-one exhibits will be displayed over three days and three nights.
Then the Golem Master judges will give scores based on innovation, practicality and future application expectations.
From one to ten, a score of seven or less represents unqualified, seven to eight represents good, eight to nine represents excellent, nine to ten has the opportunity to win innovation awards, general awards, etc.
He just glanced ahead and saw Mia's names.
"Thirty-fourth?"
Chu Ming was a little surprised. This ranking was much higher than he expected.
"Is number 34 fast?"
Ana poked his head over curiously.
Chu Ming smiled and said: "Maybe we can see Mia, Roman and the others this afternoon."
Several people were chatting in their seats, and suddenly a voice came from behind them.
"Mr. Lane."
The call interrupted the chat between Chu Ming and Ana. He turned around and saw Maddie standing behind him with a smile on his face.
"Mattie, why are you here?"
He walked out of his seat and came to the girl.
Mattie bowed slightly and said, "The lady is on the high platform. She wants to invite you over."
Chu Ming was stunned and turned back to look at Crono and the others.
Crono waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are still Elena and I here."
After saying that, he patted Ana on the shoulder, which obviously meant that he would be optimistic about Ana and Luticia.
Chu Ming nodded and said: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll leave first."
Chu Ming followed Mattie to the high platform, but what he didn't know was that not long after he left, Luticia's expression became a little worse.
Ana, who had been peeking at Luticia, also noticed this. He worriedly said: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"How about I go get the teacher back."
After saying that, he stood up.
Seeing this, Luticia quickly took his hand and said, "No need to trouble teacher, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
The girl forced out a smile and said, "It'll be fine in a while."
Ana froze in place, he sighed: "Okay, I won't find a teacher anymore."
The boy sat down on the seat and lost his mood to watch the exhibition. He kept staring at Luticia secretly.
Luticia saw the boy's little look in her eyes, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still showed a slight smile.
…
The magic elevator rose, and Chu Ming and Mattie came to the upper deck on the high platform.
This deck is not wide, and is only about the same size as the living room in the small courtyard.
Beside the deck guardrail, Trina and Lyndsey were sitting on chairs, looking down at the exhibition below, wondering what they were talking about.
After Chu Ming and Maddie walked in, they caught their attention and they stood up from their chairs.
Trina chuckled and said, "Congratulations on breaking through the legend."
Chu Ming walked up to the two of them and said with a smile: "It's just that the law has been broken. I still have a long way to go."
"Let's not mention this for now. Have any unusual events happened in the past few days?"
Lindsey said in a bad tone: "Victor, a cunning mouse, appeared once on the day he attacked you, and then disappeared completely in the city. Even the mage's mental detection could not find him."
Trina shook her head and said: "In the past month, we have arranged knights to focus on the underground black market and found many evil god believers hiding in it. The knights even found the nest of the evil god believers and eliminated those monsters."
The woman sat down on the chair and rubbed her temples, "It's just that I have always been a little uneasy. As Lindsey said, Victor is like a cunning mouse."
"You think you found his tail, but in fact it is the bait he used to lure us into making mistakes."
"I just don't know what form he will appear in."
Chu Ming thought and looked at the booth.
It was obviously a puppet exhibition, but it was difficult to see the puppets and puppets. Most of them were mechanical puppets responsible for cleaning the deck.
He asked, "Sister, are you worried that he will use the puppets to hijack the scene?"
Trina sighed, "Although we have solved the problem of the puppets getting out of control, to be honest, Victor's methods are very clever, not like a wizard, but like an old-fashioned puppet master. Maybe he has mastered other loopholes of the puppets, and we have to guard against them."
"So we can only try to reduce the number of memory puppets on the field."
"We know too little about this man."
Lindsi said coldly, "Even if we look through his life experience, we can't find anything unusual, and we don't even know why he betrayed the Mage Conference and chose to help the evil god."
Chu Ming heard what he was thinking about, sitting in a chair without saying a word.
Trina and the others knew that he was thinking, so they didn't disturb him, but focused their attention on the booth.
When they were chatting just now, the exhibition had already begun. With the appearance of the host, boiling shouts came from the airship platform and the streets below.
On the booth, an old puppet master walked up with the help of the puppet.
Although Chu Ming didn't know the old man, he could tell from the excited performance of the puppeteer on the high platform that the old man seemed to have a high status in the puppet world.
Trina explained softly: "Ned Zerik, a highly respected puppet master in the field of mechanical puppets, specializes in energy core research. The energy core of the magic airship - the spiritual crystal array was developed by him."
"Mr. Ned was specially invited by the royal family to host this exhibition. Now it seems that the effect is good."
Chu Ming exclaimed: "In an era that advocates knowledge and worships wise men, this is probably the reason why puppet technology can develop to this point."
Trina supported her cheek and looked at the booth in a trance, as if she was lost in memories.
"Yes, this is an unprecedented era..."
