Chapter 162 Entering the Mechanical City (Update completed)

Relying on the machine beasts to travel, they traveled from Chi Yuan's hiding place to Momen in just one day. The journey was relatively safe, and their choice to avoid human traces along the way was particularly correct.

No one paid any attention to their coming.

Momen is located on a towering mountain. On one side is a complex of wooden buildings built against the mountain. On the other side, there are still lush and green forests. On the outside, there is a specially excavated road. Surrounded by an artificial river, it emits a wave of light in the sunlight.

A place surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by fairy clouds, full of greenery, and white light breaking through the clouds, reflecting on the mountains.

"The outer edge of Momen's mechanism city only accounts for one-third of the entire structure, and the inner edge is even larger."

Gui Yu saw Ji Lin's surprised expression and told him an even more astonishing fact.

"Originally there was only the outermost building, but as the number of people increased and the space needed increased, we kept digging inwards."

Ji Lin's eyes fell on the antique buildings again. Even according to his aesthetics, they were considered very beautiful.

Very soon, judging from the external buildings alone, the permanent population here would be in the tens of thousands, but at this time, there were unusually few people entering and exiting this organ city.

They looked at the city gate. For a long time, several disciples wearing the same clothes as Ji Lin walked out of the city gate, talking and laughing together, not knowing where they were going.

The number of people is too small, neither the guards nor the pedestrians entering and exiting can match the number of people of this size.

"Are there so few people in this city?"

Ji Lin asked curiously.

"There used to be a lot of people, but now..."

Gui Yu sighed softly, with sadness on his brows.

"Now there are disasters everywhere, and there are countless places that need to be adjusted. I heard that there is a rebellion, and there are not many machine magicians left here. There are also many noble machine magicians who have returned to their homes and are unwilling to Stay here."

She, the chief who usually only needs to concentrate on research in Momen, focuses on helping various towns solve disaster problems, and children like Lin Sen who have not yet fully acquired the knowledge of Star Pulse Technique are also being used. Sent to work.

This organ city should have been a prosperous place, but now it has become extremely deserted due to various reasons, with very few people coming in and out.

This also made it easier for them to enter the city.

"How do we get in?"

Ji Lin's power was only enough for him to enter the Momen City, which was an area that Gui Yu was familiar with. No matter how strong his power was, without the aid of a map, an outsider would not be able to survive in such a closed maze built on the mountain. Even if you get lost, you have an excellent sense of direction.

"I don't know."

Gui Yu shook his head and stared at Momen not far away. The reason they came here was to get in touch with her master in Momen - to release a small machine bird and let it carry information to find people. .

"I'm waiting for the master's reply...here he comes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden bird flew out from the far away city, flapped its wings, and descended from the sky. Gui Yu extended his palm to it, and it obediently descended and stopped in Gui Yu's palm.

Gui Yu reached out and took out a roll of pure white letter paper from its belly, and stroked the bird's head.

There were only three words in this letter from her master:

'Take the secret road'

There is a line of small words below the text.

‘It’s the secret passage you sneaked out to play in. You probably haven’t forgotten it yet. If you forget that there is a map on the paper, enter your Qi and it will appear. ’

Gui Yu laughed dumbly. Of course she still remembered the secret passage.

As he walked, he told Ji Lin about the secret passage.

When the government city was first built, in order to prevent the army from attacking, a large number of secret passages were left in it, leading to different locations outside the city. In addition, due to the complex terrain in the government city, once those who knew about it died, those secret passages followed them. Buried in the long river of time, waiting for later generations to visit.

The children of the mayor of Momen City liked to wander around places where no one was around. Wang Qing, who was still a senior at the time, took a group of orphans living in Momen City to look for secret passages. It has been in disrepair for many years, and some even accumulate toxic gases, making them very unsafe.

They just looked at the secret passage and stayed away.

To this end, he developed a new ventilation device without using any earth-vein-related technology. Although the mechanical magician is not as capable as the star-vein magician in mobilizing the earth veins on a large scale, he can use it in small quantities.

Wang Qing simply didn't want to use any technology related to earth veins.

Since then, Wang Qing has single-handedly taken the lead in replacing the central ventilation system of the entire Guan City, and has made many achievements. If it were not for this new ventilation system, Guan City would have reached its expansion limit.

When Ji Lin listened to Gui Yu's summary, he didn't expect that Uncle 꺶, who seemed to be running fast, had such a glorious past. He didn't know why he was reduced to this situation now.

Gui Yu blinked.

The royal family and their ministers came to Momen City as guests. They were delighted to see this ventilation device and wanted him to build one for themselves. In other words, the royal family was not short of money and wanted to bring fresh air from their newly built garden into the palace. among.

Sitting in the palace, there is a gentle breeze, the air is fragrant, and you can feel the natural atmosphere without leaving home. This is probably a beautiful thing.

Wang Qing was young and frivolous. After three glasses of strong wine, he was also a fierce man. As soon as the current prince finished speaking, he scolded the royal family for their extravagance and extravagance at the banquet. The royal family scolded the nobles and officials for colluding.

The words were so fierce that he almost cursed in the prince's face: "The rich family smells of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death."

The scolding started to rise, and he turned around and started scolding some of his colleagues as lackeys. They didn't know how to love everyone and not attack the virtuous, so they became the mouthpiece.

Then... Wang Qing was demoted from a disciple to an outer sect, not because of his merits, but maybe he would be expelled because he stepped out of the city with his left foot first.

If it weren't for his words that offended many nobles, ministers and even many fellow sects, and simply offended a prince, with his achievements in the Mo sect, his status would not be affected at all.

Stepping into the long passage decorated with wall lamps, which are structures similar to rune lamps, the ventilation device operates to expel all the accumulated gas and replace it with fresh air from the outside world.

This world has still developed mixed technologies similar to runes and magic, just like the stable and long-lasting light sources that Ji Lin saw. It's just that the extreme convenience of earth vein technology prevents them from considering these other technologies.

In addition to mechanical magicians, there are also superhuman swordsmen in this world who have cultivated their minds and bodies. He also knew when listening to Gui Yu's chat, but the power of the earth veins was too strong, and the war machines created gradually overwhelmed them. If there were no earth veins, they might embark on a normal path of intertwining runes and spells.

Ji Lin was originally too influenced by the novel and worried that there would be some trap, but the journey was extremely uneventful, and the echo of their footsteps could be heard clearly during the long and empty walk.

After all, this is how it is written in novels. As long as the protagonist goes through the secret passage, he will definitely encounter some kind of danger, and then he will get the secret book/treasure by chance, and then strengthen his relationship with his female friend.

Well, okay, Gui Yu is beside him.

Gui Yu obviously doesn't have such worries. She doesn't live in modern times like Ji Lin and read messy novels.

She just recalled the stories of her childhood while talking to Ji Lin to relieve the boredom caused by this long period. When she asked about Ji Lin's childhood, Ji Lin had to prevaricate.

He would not say that his childhood was actually spent in front of the television. There was no television in this era.
