Wizarding World Beekeeper

Chapter 74
For a moment, the sense of direction completely disappeared.

I just felt a force squeezing and pulling him...

He tried to grab something, but couldn't touch anything.

There is nothingness around.

Suddenly, gravity returned.

His feet stepped on the solid ground, and he was a little unsteady for a moment. He leaned forward and staggered a few steps, but managed to stabilize his body.

He saw that the soles of his feet were green grass, and a delicate four-petaled wild flower bloomed at his feet, swaying slightly, as if he could blow off its stem with one breath.

"Self-pollinating flowers generally don't shed nectar."

Hua Mi raised her head.

The majestic scene took his breath away.

The ancient lost city is right in front of you.

The first thing that caught his eye was not the majestic and magnificent buildings.

Rather, it is the never-ending dark gray storm vortex above the city.

He had seen a simulation animation of a Jupiter storm on the Internet. The spectacular scene left a deep impression on him, but it was nothing compared to the crazy scene in front of him.

The storms on Jupiter are orderly in chaos and must follow the laws of nature.

The scene in front of me gave people the impression of absolute chaos and no order at all.

If you stare for too long, you will feel a kind of visceral fear.

A transparent sky dome enveloped the City of Brass. The storm collided with the sky dome, continuously emitting brilliant firelight, accompanied by thunderous sounds, one ebbing and the other ebbing, illuminating this isolated city, always bright as day.

Without that dome-shaped shield, this place would have been swallowed up by chaos long ago.

The buildings here are all very tall, with sharp edges and corners, and are towering and upright. The buildings are connected by air passages and criss-cross. From the ground, it is dazzling.

Under the light of the sky fire, the building shone like gold.

"This is not a building, it is simply a work of art..."

Hua Mi, a person who is not interested in architecture, can feel the ingenuity of this city.

The place where he was seemed to be a square.

In the middle of the square, there is a statue.

About three feet tall, holding a large sword, made entirely of brass.It is said to be a human statue, but it is more like a set of connected plate armor, with raging fire burning inside, spraying out from the wrists, joints, helmet and other parts.

Everything shows that there is civilization here.

Alais was not far in front of him, looking up at the magnificent building in front of him, looking like a small ant in front of a skyscraper in comparison.

Hua Mi walked to her side.

"Sorry to interrupt your view, but I noticed there seems to be one person missing. Where is Uno?"

"..."

Alais suddenly came back to his senses, looked around, then held his chin and fell into deep thought.

It took you a long time to find out.

"Maybe he teleported somewhere else, that's possible."

Something unexpected happens right from the start, which is not a good sign.

Hua Mi had a bad premonition about this journey.

"Let me ask one more question, is your trust in Uno based on him or the Abyss Research Association behind him?"

"Both."

Alais still had a calm expression: "Don't worry, he is not a problem, we can just follow the plan."

Hua Mi was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a crisp metallic collision sound from the sky.

Looking up, they saw several mechanical flying objects flying down towards them.

Only then did Hua Mi realize that the light spots flying high in the sky were not optical illusions, but these little guys.

These metal flying objects are small in size and come in different shapes.Some surfaces are shiny, while others are rusty or even damaged.

Among the ones flying towards them, one of them was in the shape of a ball, with slender metal hands and feet connected to the ball, and a rotor on the top; the other was in the shape of a shield, also connected to slender stick-like hands and feet; and some were composed of polyhedrons. Together……

They all held small weapons in their hands, including swords and spears——

Swooping down and surrounding them.

"What is this? It can't be a fire slave, right?"

It seems to have nothing to do with fire.

"This is a modron, a tool created by the fire slaves, similar to our activated armor... Those few are the fire slaves."

Even Alais, who was calm and collected, could not help but feel a little trembling in his voice at this time.Hua Mi looked in the direction she indicated.

At first glance, they thought they were three sets of children's-style armor running towards them.

With that size, Alais could look down on them.

Their bodies were made entirely of metal, but it seemed to be a different metal.

The one at the head was shinier and looked new.

The two following behind had a much darker body color, and one of them still had faint signs of rust on his chest.

Every metal body is burning with flames, leaking out from every hole and joint.

They held weapons made of metal in their hands. The leader held a hammer, and his head made a sound similar to the resonance in a metal cavity.

You can hear some patterns from it, it's not meaningless roars, it should be their language.

But Hua Mi didn't understand.

Alais stepped forward and raised his hand to hold his chest: "%#@*&Alais, *@#&@..."

It was very difficult to say.

Her body is not made of metal, so of course she cannot make sounds like Huonu.

But try to imitate their pronunciation rules as much as possible.

"I will learn more languages ​​when I have time." Hua Mi thought to herself.

Let’s start with Elvish.

Alais stumbled to finish his sentence.

The three fire slaves looked at each other, exchanged a few words with each other, put away their weapons, and suddenly started dancing with one foot on the left and right, like some kind of primitive tribal dance, shouting while dancing.

Sometimes when an enemy sings and dances in front of you, he may not necessarily be welcoming you, but may also be trying to impress you.

Hua Mi was secretly vigilant.

Alais breathed a sigh of relief and translated: "They said they welcome elves and humans as guests."

It seems that the elves and humans have a good reputation here.

"You even understand Huo Nu language."

"Understood."

Alais exchanged a few words with Huo Nu and said in deep thought: "They said that they are currently at war, so they cannot entertain us thoughtfully. Please forgive me..."

It doesn't matter if you entertain or not.

They can go shopping on their own.

For such a big city, Alais must have done some research.

And his goal is relatively clear, first go to the Fire Temple in the central area and get some seeds.

But what about the war?

What kind of war could happen in this place?
"Is it an enemy left behind during the Abyss invasion?"

"It's unlikely. Those abyssal species are purely tools of war. Without the control of the lord, they can't become a climate. Now 1000 years have passed, the Huo slaves should have cleaned them up long ago..."

Alais was also a little confused about this. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Let's not mention this for now. They invited us to see the Fire Slave King."

……

The surrounding modrons scattered and flew high into the sky again.

Hua Mi and Alais followed the three fire slaves to meet their king.

On the way, Alais used a prop inlaid with crystals to continuously scan the buildings. It was probably something similar to a camera.

Hua Mi looked at Huo Nu's exquisite and small metal body, and suddenly had a question. He leaned over and asked Alais quietly: "How do Huo Nu reproduce? You see, their bodies are entirely made of metal, and no reproduction has been found. structure."

"Don't be limited by your human identity. It's too superficial to think about the problem this way." Alais explained, "Huo slaves are essentially a kind of living flame, and the essence of fire contained in that metal body is their of ontology.

"When reproducing, two fire slaves blend their own essences with each other, and when separated, a new living flame can be born. Then both parties use their own essences to create a new body, and the young flames are fused with it. A new Huo slave life is born.

"Most of the materials used to build the body are metals. The specific metal depends on the strength of the essence fire of both parties. The higher the strength, the higher the metal that can be melted and forged, and the more powerful the descendants of the fire slaves are. And the lowest A super fire slave, the inner essence fire cannot even melt and forge any metal, so it can only use clay..."

"..."

Hua Mi was stunned for a moment.

This is... so interesting.

You can also forge your own body by forging iron.

It sounds much more interesting than the human reproduction process.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, led by three fire slaves.
