"Someone once wanted to try to build one..."
At this point, the black shadow paused for a moment, and the shining eyes on the blurred face stared at Wei En, as if trying to arouse his interest.
Wayne glanced at the shadow and then stepped onto the suspension bridge. He had no interest 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 group of floating islands really existed in reality, he would definitely look for an opportunity to take a look in the future.
"Huh? Aren't you curious?" Black Shadow was startled and asked subconsciously.
"Curious, but..." Wei En didn't look back and said calmly: "I doubt the authenticity of what you said!"
When the black shadow saw him disappearing on the other side of the suspension bridge, he almost felt hurt inside. "Are all young people today so impatient? It's boring, it's boring..."
On the other side, Wei En left that weirdo behind after setting foot on the first floating island.
This floating island, which is only the size of four football fields, does not have much debris left. The ground is paved with a layer of bluestone, and some drainage-like grooves run straight up, down, left and right.
There is a circular pattern in the middle of the island, which looks like a hexagram, but the nodes are not connected by lines, but small pits, each with a humanoid statue.
In order, there are warriors or knights wearing exquisite armor, a female wizard holding a staff, a mechanical transformer who looks thick and thick, and a man wearing leather armor...
Um? Long ears? Elf?
Wei En knelt down and observed carefully for a while. He had long ears and a handsome appearance, much like the fantasy race elves he had seen in his previous life.
Does such a race still exist in this world?
Finally, just past there are two women wearing cool short skirts holding bows and arrows...
From the way they dress, there is no difference between them and people in the real world, and there is no sign of identity.
Wei En looked around for a while and found nothing, so he stood up, looked around, and walked towards a floating island on the left.
There is one of the floating islands made entirely of machinery. There are many black shadows standing on it, as if they are also observing the structure of the floating island.
"...This is actually a reflux structure. The rune patterns hide the edges of the early gears. I can't understand it. How is it possible?"
"The gears will definitely rotate, which means that the lines will change accordingly. If other gears also rotate together, how can this rune array be effective?"
"Or is it just triggering?"
"trigger?"
"When the gears rotate together to a certain point, the magic circle takes effect instantly and then dissipates instantly... Is it possible?!"
While looking at the layout of the mechanical floating island, Wei En listened to the discussion of the black shadows around him.
From the vague outlines of these black figures, it is not difficult to see that most of them are mechanical transformers. Even if there are no traces of transformation on their bodies, they still wear some mechanical weapons or armor.
Most of the original powers are above fifty? According to the level of wizards, they are at least the level of intermediate wizards.
A wizard from the mechanical school?
Wei En glanced around, and the words of the previous weirdo came to his mind. The people who tried to create floating islands were not the wizards of the Mechanical School, were they?
"Damn it, this place is definitely deliberately created by the Nightmare Sect to mislead people!"
"You put it that way, I feel the same way..."
"But I have already completed a lesson before... huh? There are other people here. Please record your observations and summarize them to me later."
Wei En saw the man with traces of mechanical modification all over his body 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 or something like that...
However, he did not expect that these people were actually studying the mechanical structure and runes of this floating island.
They, well, the wizards of the Mechanical School don't really plan to build a replica, do they?
Thinking like this, Wei En walked to the other side, which looked like a fortress on the high wall of the city-a hole was broken in the circular vault, hundreds of pipelines were exposed, and broken gears and iron sheets were scattered on the ground. .
He lowered his head and looked at the rusty parts. Indeed, as the mechanical wizard outside said, there was a ring of Thrall metal coating engraved with rune patterns on the outer edge of the gear.
how did you do that?
When the gears rotate, the rune circle is triggered?
If there is only one place where two gears rotate together, a complete passage can be formed, but this is only a passage at one point and needs to be connected with other lines.
Could it be that the places where the gears are in contact are used as nodes, and the places where the gears are not in contact are used as lines - forming a line composed of semicircular gears along the outer ring of the gears?
Then there is no straight line?
Wei En frowned. This was not consistent with the rune array patterns he had come into contact with. According to his understanding, the lines of all runes were fixed and symmetrical.
And these gears...
As he fell into deep thought, a message of knowledge emerged from the introductory knowledge of runes in his mind.
[Vortex structure is a knowledge system that can only be accessed by expert runes. Compared with the rigid structure of runes, the vortex structure can satisfy complex structures and is one of the most important branches in rune science. 】
Vortex structures...expert level...
It turns out that this is runic knowledge that only experts can have access to... huh?
Wei En was startled. Does this mean that the knowledge involved in this floating island is true?
So speaking of it - the floating island also exists? !
He quickly observed the mechanical fortress carefully. The holes and cuts were very regular. It was like being pierced by something half a meter in diameter, and the inner wall opened outwards, similar to the marks left by bullet penetration.
In several windows, there are also the remains of some mechanical cannons. Only the base is intact, and the others are broken into small pieces and scattered in every corner.
Wei En looked up and checked again. There was a hole, five mechanical cannons in different positions...
He couldn't help but simulate the attack that would cause such a result in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more it felt like a tentacle poked in from the outside and then flexibly swept the mechanical cannon into a pile of parts?
antenna?
With this question in mind, Wei En turned around and left the fortress, walking around the entire mechanical floating island.
Finally confirmed his guess - there was indeed a battle here, no, to be precise, it was a war. The enemy accurately attacked the forts 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 were no signs of battle...
"The attack fell, cleared the target and then disappeared directly?"
Wei En thought thoughtfully, maybe there is only one enemy, an enemy with hundreds of tentacles, which instantly makes this mechanical floating island lose its combat effectiveness.
What kind of body shape does that have to be?
It must be at least as big as this floating island with a diameter of one kilometer, right?
Such a huge monster...
Well, it’s 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 in the sea, much larger than the mechanical floating island under his feet.
"Let's go, Rachel Fule."
"I'll be back soon..."
Um?
Are you leaving?
After a while, the dark shadows of the Mechanical School disappeared one after another.
Wei En looked up at the other floating islands, calculated the time, and left the nightmare world.
"Nightmare World..."
Perhaps, we should find someone from the Nightmare Sect to find out more about the Nightmare World.
From the initial area with countless gloomy tombs, to the towering tower in the transit area, to the floating island group in the captain area.
Nothing can be seen about the high tower yet, but the traces of the wreckage 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 shows that this world has experienced a tragic war.
I just don’t know which era that happened...
Wei En sat in front of the workbench and let out a long breath. Was it an epic war that disappeared into the long river of history... It sounded quite interesting.
However, he was more interested in the power of those runes.
Judging from the current situation, the wizards of the Mechanical School still don’t know how to make the mechanical floating island...
"Expert level runes..."
Wayne frowned, that was still too far away from him.
And even if he mastered the knowledge related to vortex structures, he might not be able to create a floating island.
It should be said that he didn't even have the idea to try... How rich do you have to be to build a mechanical fortress like that?
Thinking of this, Wayne put ten bottles of anti-evil medicine into the mouth of the nightmare worm and completed the deal with Franta first.
Not long after, there was some noise from the box.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the materials for making the anti-bacterial potion and started making the second batch of anti-bacterial potion.
A total of forty-five ingredients for the anti-exotic potion took him eight hours to complete.
Even with his mental strength, he still felt a little tired after making potions for eight hours non-stop. During this period, he spent a lot of energy just trying to figure out how to deal with the nuances of material fusion.
Wei En looked at the blood-colored antiseptic potion on the workbench and let out a long breath. There was a reason why it was so difficult to make a perfect potion...
"Thirty bottles of perfect grade and fifteen bottles of fine grade, worth three thousand seven hundred and fifty gold pounds... It's not that difficult to make money, but the Black Pearl is really nothing!"
Wei En took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He found that it was almost night and he didn't know what was going on outside.
With this thought in mind, he put away the potion, put the bullets made by Sharapova and others into the mechanical door, then opened the door of the studio and looked at the people outside.
"...Risi, death."
"Tina, Risi."
"Tina doesn't have Risi," Sharapova said with a weird click in her voice, correcting the white-haired girl's Gonzalez language.
"Tina, there's no Ruisi."
"Um."
The Zero next to him was holding the volume of Jerry's Notes and motionless, the gears on his eyes turning rapidly, as if recording the contents.
"Is this me, the Iron-Hearted Furiouser...Type Zero...Do you think the Furious One sounds more domineering? Sister Sharapova, what do you think?"
"Listen to your father..."
Wayne scanned around and didn't see Claire's figure, and he couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.
That woman...can't, right?
He quickly took out the golden key, left the clown theater, and returned to the Ronan's bedroom. His mental perception instantly covered the entire steamship.
"...Ms. Claire, it's not that I don't want to obey your command, but this conflicts with the captain's order. Can you please ask him for permission before..."
"Excuse me? I am the first mate of this ship, and you are the second mate. When the captain is away, the decision is of course up to us. Besides, just going over there to catch a fish can also be our dinner, right?"
"That side...it's off course..."
Claire crossed her arms, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Then just watch them hang..."
Wayne clenched his fist, Claire...
He had noticed the pirates hanging upside down by their feet under the watchtower.
"First Mate Claire, if the captain blames you for doing this..." Ronan cried sadly.
"I'm here to support you!"
"Hold it up? How are you going to hold it up?"
"of course……"
When Claire heard the sound, she turned around and took a look. She subconsciously wanted to run. She took a few steps and then stepped back. She raised her chest and raised her head and said, "Of course I went to the captain to apologize~"
"Yeah?"
Wayne stared into her eyes with Marco's handsome face, raised his hand and pointed at the top of his head with a finger, "Then what's going on with them?"
"They..." Claire's chest that had just puffed up retracted again, she bit her lip and rolled her eyes at him, "They coveted other people's beauty and said some dirty words~"
"Uh-huh, no, we didn't say that, Captain!"
"Really not..."
"Um?"
The pirate who was hanging under the watchtower saw Claire's glance and paused, then forced out 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, look~
"Is that so?" Wayne took out his revolver, clicked the gun, and asked calmly: "I think there is someone on this ship who dares to offend the first mate. Simply hanging him up is not enough... You think so, right?"
hiss--
Seeing him take out his gun, all the pirates immediately fell silent. They were influenced by the deception and admitted Wei En's identity as captain, but that didn't mean they had forgotten what they saw that day.
The bullets that drew strange arcs still remained in their minds.
"No, no, no, no, Captain, we did not offend the first mate..."
"It is my fault!"
Before the pirates could speak again, Claire honestly admitted her mistake, walked up to Wayne, held his hand, and pointed the gun at her chest...
"You shoot..."
Wayne stared into her eyes without looking down at all, "Are you sure?"
"I'm really... not sure!" As soon as she said these two words, Claire saw Wayne's eyes turn cold, and she quickly raised her hands and said, "I know I was wrong, and 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... so cruel?
Kill the first mate? !
Plop, plop... the sound of a series of heavy objects hitting the deck was heard.
"Many, thank you very much, Captain."
The pirates who were hanging looked at Wei En with gratitude in their eyes. If it weren't for the pain, they would have thought they were dead this time.
"You scared me~Captain Marco~" Claire's voice sounded immediately.
She saw clearly just now that when Wei En fired, the muzzle of the gun was always pointed at her chest. But the result was that not a single bullet fell on her, but penetrated the ropes hanging the pirates...
Extraordinary abilities without any extraordinary powers?
Or just pure marksmanship?
How terrifying!
"There will be no next time." Wayne put away his revolver, turned around and walked towards the cockpit.
"Copy that, Captain!" Claire gestured with a common pirate salute seriously, turned her head and glanced at Ronan, "Second officer with triangular eyes, why don't you hurry up and follow?"
"Yes, I'll be there right away." Ronan wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. Fortunately, the first mate was fine, otherwise no one on this ship would survive tonight...
Thinking of this, he quickly trotted to follow the cockpit. Well, he was right to follow the captain.
The other pirates also glanced at Claire in fear, and then dispersed, making preparations before nightfall.
"Tsk, he really..."
Claire thought of Wayne's eyes just now, which were full of charm. He was obviously 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, I can only stay on the boat honestly in the days to come, woo woo woo...
Bad guy~
And Wayne, who was in the cockpit, knew that Claire was not angry because of this. If she was really angry, she would have to fall out on the spot because of her temper.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he knew very well that he had to be stronger when dealing with this woman who was not very smart.
Otherwise, there would be no pirates living independently on the ship, and they would all have to become puppets.
"Just sailing so much?"
Ronan pointed to the newly marked position on the chart, "Affected by the storm in the morning, the speed was much slower, but fortunately there was no damage."
Wayne nodded, "It's going to be night soon. Can we sail at night?"
"This..." Ronan hesitated for a moment, "It's possible, but the sound is still bright and will attract the surrounding aberrations."
"Huh? So what did you do last night?"
"Raise the sail and try not to deflect the course...drift."
Wei En suddenly realized, "Then just do what you did before."
He didn't want to face another attack from those fish last night...
"Understood, I'll get ready right now."
"etc!"
Wei En ignored Ronan's confused look, but pointed to the front left, frowned and said, "Is that ship coming towards 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 additional updates in the evening.
Thanks to Xin Bu Niu, Loli Loves Fish, and Starry Night 12 for their tips. Thank you very much!
