214. The Clockwork Scholar, the Weird Underground Town (please order it all!)
Under the glazed tower,
a sudden warning sound,
Instantly attracted the attention of several people.
In the eyes of everyone, the figure gradually walked out of the shadow area.
The appearance is exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
Under the sunlight, his body also reflected light.
Metal head, metal limbs..
He wears a black round cap on top of his head and a round monocle on his left eye.
The whole body is wrapped in a special transparent material.
It can be clearly seen at a glance that there are various gears in his body rotating regularly.
It seems like these brass gears are driving his whole body.
but,
Lin Nan still thinks that he is a person!
because,
In the transparent cabin where his heart is, a jumping bright red heart is wrapped.
The heart was thumping thumping, beating one after another.
Under the transformation of the special device, it drives all the gears in the whole body!
'The otherworldly version of Naruto Scorpion?
'Reforming yourself into a cog clockwork man with only a heart?
"It is estimated that the special cabin that wraps the heart also has the function of isolating radiation!"
Lin Nan observed silently.
Luo Shuhe and Luo Yuhe also looked at the clockwork man in front of him curiously.
Unexpectedly, this world is in addition to the mysterious redstone castle, and the disgusting orcs.
There is another way to survive radiation!
robot!
Seeing the clockwork man, Ruby stepped forward excitedly.
"Are you... a scholar of Aion, I'm from Redstone Castle!
"Back then, you helped us build the Redstone Castle!""
"Now, we need your help again!
"Please help us!
...
Hear familiar words.
The gears in the Clockwerk paused for a moment.
It seems to be thinking, and it seems to be remembering...
Lin Nan glanced at the clockwork man in front of him unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly, the establishment of the Redstone Castle had his help.
It seems that the clockworkers not only avoided the effects of radiation by using mechanization, but also extended their lifespan!
"Redstone..."
"What about them...
The Clockwork Man took a deep look at Ruby and recognized the identity of Ruby Redstone.
Turning to look at Lin Nan and the others!
The vigilance in his eyes has not diminished in the slightest!
Ruby quickly explained, "They are my friends, and I use the identity of the princess of the Redstone Castle to guarantee that they will never threaten the safety of the Aion!
The safety of the Aion...
A trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in the clockwork man's eyes, and his mood was somewhat depressed.
"It's okay, it's okay, come in!"
After speaking, the clockwork man lowered the hat on his head.
Turned around and walked towards the glazed tower.
Lin 383 Nan and several people looked at each other, and followed them into it.
Seeing the inner structure of the glazed pagoda, everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement.
Looking up, Lin Nan looked up.
"Unexpectedly, the inside of the tower is empty, and a wonderful light and shadow landscape is formed under the countless glass! 35
It took a long time to recover.
In the center of the interior of the tower, there is a passage leading to the underground.
The clockwork man was walking slowly towards there.
The few people didn't stay too long, and quickly followed.
Entering the underground, the picture suddenly brightened.
The underground is not as dark as Lin Nan imagined, but extremely bright.
There is an area above the top of the ground, with a large number of circular holes regularly arranged.
Bright light shines from the opening, providing light for the entire subterranean.
Lin Nan thought about it for a while, and then he understood the function of the glazed tower.
"No wonder the glazed tower is empty, and there are countless glass reflecting sunlight..."
"I thought it was just a pompous decoration!"
"It turned out that they used the refraction of light to guide the light on the ground into the ground."
"In this way, even in the underground, there is still sufficient light, with a clear distinction between day and night!"
Lin Nan was immediately interested in Aion.
no doubt,
The glazed tower is a symbol of wisdom!
Since Lin Nan came to the World of Despair Wasteland, the biggest feeling is.
The light here is poor and the air is poor.
It was as if there was some medium between heaven and earth that blocked all the sunlight.
Even at noon, it's about the same as half a cloudy day.
The whole world looked grey.
In the Tower of Aion, for the first time, Lin Nan saw bright, even dazzling sunlight.
Even though it was an underground space in front of him, it was far brighter than any place on the surface that Lin Nan had been to.
The underground space is a small town.
There are residential houses, shops, and even a small square...
Although the sparrow is small, everything is available.
but,
Strangely, there was not a single figure in the entire underground space.
Terribly quiet!
In the entire space, only the footsteps of a few of them echoed.
"Brother Nan, I always feel that something is wrong here!"
"At a glance, there is not a single person!
Ruby's eyes were also a little blank.
This is somewhat different from the Eternal Tower she knows.
Lin Nan comforted a few people.
"It's okay, you can also see the game panel, the clockworker's attributes are very low!
"There is no danger!
【Game panel】
【Scholar of Eternal (bcci) City】
【Physical: 7】
【Strength: 6】
【Agility:5】
【Spirit: 15】
[The last light of civilization left in the wasteland of despair, once civilization disappears, this place will be reduced to a completely dark world! 】
The detailed information of the scholars is on the game board, which is a complete threat to several of them.
Of course, on the mini-map system, the clockwork scholar is in a friendly display, which is Lin Nan's greatest confidence.
However, Lin Nan did not completely let down his guard.
The matter of the General of Sin City, let Lin Nan understand.
The information displayed by the small map system is not static, but dynamic.
What happened in Sin City before had caused him a big loss.
Lin Nan originally thought that there was a small map system.
He has ascertained the city's defenses and discerned the city's roads.
He also knew the location where the auction items were transferred and stored, and there was no threat to his life in the entire city.
With the advantages of three-level armored vehicles, Lin Nan thought that he could easily complete the zero-dollar purchase.
Unexpectedly, Ruby has two controllers!
This was totally unexpected by Lin Nan!
I didn't even expect that the General of Sin City would also transform!!!
A skyrocketing property that can completely go against common sense!
Lin Nan's strength attribute is as high as 100 or more, and the sword of the gods can block ten times the strength of the damage, but he still can't stop the full-body General of Sin City!
Although in the end, it turned out that Sin City did not threaten his life.
The appearance of Sophia proves this.
However, it cannot be ignored that there are dangers!
It made Lin Nan's zero-dollar purchase look a bit reckless.
but,
Let Lin Nan do it again, he will still choose zero yuan to buy!
The black gold auction happened suddenly, and there was no time to prepare.
If you miss this village, there will be no this shop.
If Lin Nan does not buy at zero yuan, wait for the seller and buyer to complete the transaction and go their separate ways.
It's impossible for Lin Nan to have such a harvest!
but,
After going through this incident, Lin Nan became a lot more cautious.
He also realized one thing...
The threat level calculated by the minimap is not the same as the threat level he understands.
at this time,
Enter the underground town.
Lin Nan was more surprised than Luo Yuhe.
Because, on the minimap system.
In the entire Aion, only the Clockwork Scholar exists as a light spot!
There is only one living person in the huge underground city.
Not weird is the problem!
moment,
Several people finally came to a hall.
Clockwork Scholar, turned around and sat down.
He rested his head on the seat with one hand.
The eyelids are slightly pulled down, and a trace of fatigue can be clearly seen.
just don't know...
He is mentally tired, or physically tired.
"Sit as you please. 95
The Clockwork Scholar pointed around with his other hand.
When Lin Nan and the others sat down, the clockwork scholar looked at Ruby.
"Guest of Redstone Castle, why are you looking for me?"
Although Ruby wondered about the changes in the Tower of Aion, she didn't think much about it.
"Scholar, we at Redstone Castle have spent hundreds of years deciphering a part of the blueprints of Level 4 vehicles and produced a blueprint of a pseudo Level 4 vehicle, a giant airship...
"However, due to technical problems, the drawing of the giant airship could not be completed at the last minute!
"Hope scholars can go to Redstone Castle and help us complete the final step!"
"The giant airship is our... last hope!"
The Clockwork Scholar murmured...
"Giant Airship..."
"Wait! 35
The clockwork scholar's calm face changed instantly.
"You guys want to build an airship, do you... do you want to complete that legendary fable?
Clockwork Scholar, his eyes roll quickly.
Ruby did not hide, "Yes, scholar, we have been preparing materials and analyzing drawings..."
"Now, it's just one last minute!"
"Scholar, this is not only the hope of our redstone, but also the last hope of this world!"
The Clockwork Man scholar did not expect Ruby to come here for this matter.
"Wait, let me think about it!
The conversation between the two made Lin Nan and several others keep posting this news in the small group.
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, it is a hidden mission at first sight! Maybe the secret of the Despair Wasteland World is in the words of a few people! 99
"Just don't know what riddles they're playing! 35
"I don't know either, but I do understand why Redstone Castle attaches great importance to tier 4 vehicle blueprints! They have an important plan related to it! 35
"Brother Lin, why don't you ask Ruby in private, I think she will tell you!"
"I tried it, and she said everything, but she didn't tell me that she was looking for a scholar! She just said, bring the scholar back to Redstone Castle, and give me the level 4 vehicle upgrade map!"
The three of them could feel that the things Ruby and the scholars were discussing were related to the secrets of this world.
However, what they say is cryptic.
"I really don't know, what is the mysterious thing that is obviously guarding us and not letting us know!
Luo Yuhe grumbled and complained in the group.
Lin Nan rubbed Luo Yuhe's head amusingly.
Although he didn't know what the plan was, Lin Nan could feel that Ruby would not harm him.
Everyone has their own secrets, there is no need to break the casserole and ask to the end.
In particular, this is the centuries-old effort of Redstone Castle.
They're already involved, and in two days they'll be sure to know the end of the plan!
There are still six days left, and Lin Nan is in no hurry.
a long time,
The Clockwork Scholar raised his head again and looked at Ruby seriously.
"I can promise you!"
Ruby suddenly showed joy and almost jumped up.
"Don't be happy, I promise you to go, but I have one condition!
The clockwork scholar said, hesitating.
Ruby instantly became nervous, turned her head, and looked at Lin Nan eagerly.
The small mouth opened slightly and silently called to the master.
She has nothing now, and her life is still in Lin Nan's hands.
Not to mention the Clockwork Man scholar has a condition.
Even if there are half of the conditions, also depends on Lin Nan!
The Clockwork Scholar also seemed to understand this, and his eyes shifted to Lin Nan.
"Can I listen to the conditions first, if I don't say the conditions, I don't know if I can agree. 35
"Isn't it?"
The Clockwork Scholar nodded, "As it should be!"
"Actually, my condition is very simple, you go to the forbidden land and help me get a material!
"It's called the source of energy!
"This material exists only in the center of the forbidden land!"
Forbidden place...
Lin Nan frowned and did not speak immediately.
On the map Ruby gave him, there is the location of the Forbidden Land.
The Forbidden Land is located in the center of the entire map, while the Aion is located at the very edge of the map.
The location of Sin City, in between.
It took Lin Nan nearly a day to get from Sin City to Aion.
If you go to Forbidden Lands, go back.
At least it takes four days!
And that doesn't include looking for the source of energy that Clockwork Scholars call it.
Lin Nan did not speak, not because of the difficulty of this condition.
But because of...
not enough time!!!!
You know, Lin Nan has only 6 days left to connect to today.
Also take the Clockwork Scholar to Redstone Castle.
Lin Nan doesn't think that Aion is very close to Redstone Castle.
If the clockworker scholar's request is complied with.
Whether it is possible to reach the Redstone Castle before leaving this world will become a question mark!
Seeing Lin Nan's expression sullen, Lubi felt even more nervous.
"No... can't you..."
Clockwork scholar, his face is not very good.
However, he wasn't angry because Lin Nan didn't agree.
Rather, some regrets.
Turning his head to look in a certain direction behind him, a complicated look appeared on his face!
At this point, Lin Nan spoke out about his difficulties.
"It's not that I don't agree to your conditions, but it's because the forbidden land is too far away!"
"I don't have enough time for some reason..."
"In addition to today, there are only six days left!"
Lin Nan looked at the clockwork scholar and said sincerely.
He could see that the Clockwork Scholar had promised Ruby.
This condition may be related to his personal needs.
Although he does not know the purpose, the Clockwork Scholar will not reject Ruby because Ruby cannot meet his conditions.
Therefore, Lin Nan also stated the reason very simply.
"Is it just because of time?" The clockwork scholar, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
It's as if someone in despair sees a ray of sunshine!
Lin Nan didn't know why the clockwork scholar said that, but he nodded solemnly.
The center of the forbidden land is also where Lin Nan wants to go.
Even, Lin Nan has a hunch.
The unknown energy fluctuations on the Sin City record book in his hand are the source of energy in the mouths of clockwork scholars!!!
When the clockwork scholar heard the words, he stood up excitedly!
"Great, as long as you agree, I will have a way for you to reach the center of the Forbidden Land in no time!"
"If all goes well, today we can go to Redstone Castle together!!!
Lin Nan was full of puzzlement.
However, Clockwork Man scholars did not immediately explain.
Excitedly, he ran to a corner of the hall, and forcefully lifted the black curtain above.
In an instant, a giant device similar to a light door appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
at the same time,
On the game panel of several Lin Nan,
Details of this device appeared....
*A!!.
