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 even noticed their arrival.

Momen is located on a majestic mountain. On one side, there is a complex of wooden buildings built on the mountain. On the other side, there are still lush and green forests. There is a specially excavated road outside. Surrounded by artificial rivers, it reflects waves 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 organ city only accounts for a quarter of the entire structure, but the inside is even larger."

Gui Yu saw Ji Lin's surprised expression and told him even more shocking facts.

"Originally there was only the outermost building, but as more and more people came in and the space needed increased, we kept digging inward."

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

It is very large. Judging from the external buildings alone, the permanent population here is tens of thousands, but there are unusually few people entering and leaving this machine city at this time.

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

The number of people is too small, neither the guards nor the pedestrians coming in and out 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 natural disasters everywhere in the world. There are countless places that need to be adjusted. I heard that there is another rebellion. There are not many machine magicians left here. There are also many noble machine magicians who have returned to their homes and are not willing to stay here. "

She, the chief who usually only needs to concentrate on doing research in Momen, has to focus on helping various towns solve the problem of natural disasters, and children like Lin Sen who have not yet fully acquired the knowledge of Star Pulse Art have to be 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 ability only allowed him to get to this point. He entered the Momen Machine City, which is an area that Gui Yu is familiar with. No matter how powerful he is, without the aid of a map, an outsider will not get lost in this closed maze built on the mountain. 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 the person.

"I have to wait for the master's reply...here he comes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden bird flew out from the far away organ 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.

This letter from her master gave her only three words:

'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 the insiders died, those secret passages were also buried together with the insiders. The long river of time is waiting for those who come after us to visit.

Children who grew up in the government city like to wander around in places where adults are not around. Wang Qing, who was still a senior brother at the time, took a group of the orphans who lived in the Momen government city to play in the secret passage every day. They are in disrepair, and some even accumulate toxic gases, making them unsafe.

They could only look at the secret passage and stay away.

To this end, he developed a new ventilation device without using any earth-vein-related technology. Although the mechanist cannot mobilize the earth veins on a large scale like the star-vein magician, he can mobilize the earth veins in small quantities.

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

Since then, Wang Qing has single-handedly led the replacement of the entire Central Ventilation System of the Guan City, which has made great achievements. If it were not for this new ventilation system, the Guan City would have reached its expansion limit.

Ji Lin listened to Gui Yu's summary. He didn't expect that the old man who was already in his forties could have such a glorious past. He didn't know why he was reduced to this situation now.

Gui Yu blinked.

The royal family and 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 introduce the fresh air from their newly built garden into the palace. .

It is a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy the gentle breeze and the fragrance of the air while sitting in the palace, and to feel the breath of nature without leaving home.

Wang Qing was young and frivolous. After three glasses of strong wine, he was also fierce. As soon as the current prince finished speaking, he scolded the royal family for their extravagance and extravagance at the banquet. From royal scolding to collusion between aristocrats and officials.

The words were fierce, and he almost cursed at the prince's face: The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing on the streets.

When he got excited, he turned around and started to curse some of his fellow disciples as running dogs, not knowing how to love all, not attack, respect the virtuous, and be frugal, and became mouthpieces.

Then... Wang Qing was demoted from the eldest disciple to the outer sect. If it weren't for his achievements, he might have been expelled because his left foot stepped out of the mechanical city first.

If it weren't for his words that offended many noble ministers and even many fellow disciples, simply offending a prince, with his achievements in the Mo Sect, his status would not have changed at all.

Stepping into the long corridor decorated with wall lamps, it was a structure similar to the rune lamp. The ventilation device was running, expelling all the stagnant gas in it and replacing it with fresh air from the outside.

This world still developed a hybrid technology similar to runes and magic, just like the stable and long-lasting light sources that Ji Lin had seen, but the extreme convenience of the earth vein technology made them not have to consider these other technologies.

In addition to the mechanical wizards, this world also has super swordsmen who cultivate their minds and bodies. He only knew about this when he heard Gui Yu talk about it, but the power of the earth veins was too strong, and the war machines they created gradually overwhelmed everything. If there were no earth veins, they might be able to embark on a normal path of runes and magic.

Ji Lin was originally too influenced by the novels and was worried that there would be some traps, but the whole journey was unusually plain. The echo of their footsteps could be heard clearly during the empty and long walk.

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

Well, okay, Gui Yu is beside him.

Gui Yu obviously does not have such worries. She does not live in the modern world like Ji Lin and read a lot of messy novels.

She just recalled her childhood stories while talking to Ji Lin to relieve the boredom brought by this long journey. When she asked about Ji Lin's childhood, Ji Lin had to evade the question.

He would not say that he actually spent his childhood in front of the TV, as there were no TVs in that era.
