Text-savvy, explore the copy

Chapter 110 On the airship

alberta

This is what humans call the earth beneath their feet and the place where they live.

Zhuang Cai opened his eyes and observed the surrounding environment.

Generally speaking, there is no danger when you first enter a dungeon.

At least so far, no dungeon has a dangerous start. The start of all dungeons is an area responsible for allowing those who clear the dungeon to have a simple understanding of the entire dungeon.

It is generally reflected through the decoration, environment of the area and the materials that may be available around it.

Make a first impression on incoming explorers.

Zhuang Cai looked at the surrounding environment. This was a somewhat small room.

It's so small that it feels a bit dull.

To say it is a single-room dormitory seems to be a bit of an exaggeration. It is more like a small single room in a house.

The whole room was roughly a square, with a single bed placed against the wall next to the door.

It's perfect, and if there's just a little more door left on this bed, it won't close.

The bed is stacked with gray sheets, quilts and pillows.

And he was sitting on this bed.

Looking up you can see shelves on the wall for storing some items.

There is an outer clothes rack at the end of the bed with several pieces of clothing on it.

On the wall facing the door, there is a table and a chair.

Orange lights illuminated the room, and Zhuang Cai looked at the light source, which was an oil lamp-like device on the wall.

This kind of wall lamp is placed on a pipe, and you can also hear the hissing sound coming from the pipe.

Zhuang Cai, who was sitting on the bed, frowned.

He could feel the whole room shaking slightly, shaking at all times. From the time he came to this copy until now, this slight shaking has never stopped.

This kind of shaking is very subtle, but if you calm down and feel it carefully, you can still feel it.

If it is an ordinary person, it will be difficult to feel such a subtle shaking for a while.

But on the earth, unless it is a vibration, there will be no such shaking.

This room... is on some kind of moving object?

Zhuang Cai looked around. Looking at it now, there were indeed too many metal structures in the room.

It doesn't look like the structure a house should have.

It can be clearly seen on the wall that it is fixed by a metal frame and filled with wood.

Moreover, there are no windows in the entire room, and only a vent can be seen in the corner above the head.

This is really too closed, but the careful decoration and placement of the entire room mean that this is not like a prison or a place of confinement.

Zhuang Cai stood up and lowered his head slightly involuntarily.

Because the height of this room is probably less than two meters, with Zhuang Cai's height, if he stood upright, the top of his body might touch the ceiling.

As expected, this place is only suitable for sleeping and simple rest.

After pushing open the door, he walked out and looked outside.

This is also a closed space, similar to the corridor of a hotel. Opposite Zhuang Cai, there is also the door of a house.

The door is numbered.

Zhuang Cai looked at the number 206 written next to his door.

Various metal-framed exposed pipes run against the walls on both sides of the corridor.

You can hear footsteps coming from above your head, and when you step on the floor, you can find that it is hollow underneath.

As it swayed, I looked at the enclosed room.

Almost half of it is filled with wood.

"In the cabin?" Although Zhuang Cai has never been on a ship, this place feels too much like a cabin.

There was also a clicking sound from the door next to him.

Zhuang Cai turned around and saw that it was Nan Su Bei who came out, and then there was another sound of the door opening.

Yang Rongrong walked out of the door on the right side of Zhuang Cai.

"Are we among some moving objects?" Yang Rongrong couldn't help but ask.

It was obvious that she had sensed something was wrong with their position.

"Maybe it's a boat?" Nan Subei looked at the surrounding environment and said.

"This is similar to the structure of a ship. I have visited it before."

"Really?" Zhuang Cai asked doubtfully. He didn't know much about this and wasn't sure where they were.

"Do you have any background in your mind? Or is there any information?" Yang Rongrong asked.

The two couldn't help but shook their heads.

It means that matching background information or required information will appear in their minds.

There was only one copy of the experience they had.

That was the time at the castle.

"If not, it means we exist with a relatively unfamiliar identity here."

Yang Rongrong concluded.

After all, the dungeon has been around for so long, and some information that can be easily judged at the beginning has already been summarized.

The start of the dungeon can be summarized into two situations based on whether there is information in the mind and what is obviously stored on the body.

The first type is to enter the copy with information and identity.

A typical example is the castle dungeon that Zhuang Cai experienced. He was with the main characters at the beginning and had an acquaintance with them.

In this case, their identity information will appear in their minds at the beginning.

In case they don’t know anything and don’t know anything about it.

Generally speaking, this kind of information also represents their tasks in this copy.

This information will also implicitly give some things that are important to the copy. It depends on how the explorer uses and plays it.

This first situation occurs in a small number of copies.

It is estimated that about 70% of most copies belong to the second situation.

The second situation is to enter the instance as a stranger.

That is to say, in the participating dungeon, the explorer and the people around him do not know each other.

In this case, there will be no information reminder. Participants must understand the background and information of the copy based on the surrounding environment and communication with the people next to them.

While the three of them were communicating, a door across the corridor opened.

A figure pushed the door open and walked out.

After the figure came out, he saw Zhuang Cai and the other three people across the corridor smiling and nodding as a greeting.

But it can also be seen from her behavior that she is not familiar with Zhuang Cai and others, and it is just a polite greeting.

It's like a hotel tenant suddenly bumping into me.

Then he put on the clothes he was holding and walked towards the left end of the corridor.

The three of them just watched her leave.

Nan Subei and Yang Rongrong turned their heads, and then saw Zhuang Cai's eyes still staring at the man without moving at all.

Yang Rongrong looked at Zhuang Cai's eyes, then turned to look at the figure walking towards the end of the corridor.

He nodded involuntarily, with an "I understand" expression.

Seeing this, Nan Subei couldn't help but sigh, and pulled Zhuang Cai from behind, pulling his soul back.

"Brother, stop looking. If you look again, you will be exposed."

Zhuang Cai, who came back to his senses after hearing this, saw Yang Rongrong's slightly narrowed eyes.

"Cough." Zhuang Cai coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

Said: "It turns out he is such a half-orc."

The person who just walked past them was a woman with a good face, wearing thicker clothes and a scarf.

It can be seen from the dress that this is a society that can at least be compared to the modern society of the 19th century and above.

Just a simple analogy.

What really caught their attention were the cat ears poking out from the top of this woman's long blond hair.

Yes, the orc background here means humans with animal characteristics.

The figure that just walked over was a girl with animal ears.

You can even see that behind the figure who has not reached the end, there is a cat tail protruding from the bottom of the clothes, swaying slightly.

This woman's walking posture is also like that of a cat, showing pure elegance.

"Judging from her clothes, the outside environment may not be too warm, so she needs to keep warm.

No weapons were seen on her body. Based on the clothes she was wearing and the structure of the surrounding environment, it seemed that although it was not modern, it was probably modern.

Then it is very likely that it is a hot weapon. Judging from her behavior, we are strangers and still say hello politely and with a smile. It shows that it is a civilized society. "

Zhuang Cai talked about the information he perceived and tried to divert his attention.

After hearing Zhuang Cai's words, Yang Rongrong turned her attention in other directions.

"You're quite sharp, Brother Zhuang."

Zhuang Cai smiled and then walked towards the end of the corridor: "Anyway, let's go up and take a look first."

With that said, the three of them came to the end and walked up through the metal stairs that the person just walked through.

As soon as I walked up, a cold wind blew by.

They came to the deck.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned.

Not because of anything else, just because they have never experienced it.

They were indeed on a ship, but the clouds passing around them and the sea of ​​clouds below told them that their ship was flying in the sky.

Look up to the top of your head.

A huge, tapered balloon dragged their ship through the sky.     This is an airship.

There are not many people on this deck, they gather together in twos and threes.

Zhuang Cai, who came back to his senses, observed.

The men were dressed in body-shaping clothing and clearly armed.

There is a dagger or short knife on the thigh or waist.

In some places, you can clearly see weapons like muskets placed in the hands.

It just looks much more precise.

It can be seen that the temperament of these people does not look like soldiers, but gives people a feeling more like mercenaries.

These people more or less have cigarettes in their hands and are smoking.

It looks like they gathered outside to smoke?

The figures of the three people ascending did not attract anyone's attention, but only caused people passing by to glance at them.

No one came to talk to me.

The open-air deck is not large, just such a small area, and there is a high fence next to it, which seems to prevent these people from accidentally falling.

Can feel the air currents in the air.

"Ding, ding, ding."

Suddenly, while the three of them were still observing their surroundings, a harsh sound came from somewhere.

Hear this tinkling sound.

Some people who were smoking immediately put out their cigarettes and threw them outside.

Finally, in twos and threes, they walked towards the room in front while chatting.

The three of them looked at each other and followed these people in silently.

Through this simple observation, Zhuang Cai roughly understood the structure here.

Most of the entire cabin hanging below the airship is enclosed, and this small deck is very small in the tail area.

It's the only place that can get some ventilation.

As we walked in, we discovered that there was a small restaurant inside.

It will feel much warmer as soon as you enter.

Looking at the people in the restaurant, it was only then that I noticed that whether it was the mercenaries or the surrounding staff, their clothes had an obvious mark.

It was a simple symbol like a white airship, with a musket printed on the airship.

This seems to be the logo of the unit or organization to which this airship and its staff belong.

Other than that, the only thing that looked out of place was the cat-eared woman who just came up from below.

And the people around them all have the characteristics of animal ears.

Zhuang Cai glanced at it and saw cat ears, dog ears and rabbit ears.

Only these three types of ears were the most obvious, and he didn't know what animals the other ears belonged to.

You can't expect him to tell what kind of animal people these people are just through simple ear characteristics, and this is an alien world. Who knows if there will be any animals that are not found on earth.

To say that it has similar characteristics would be amazing.

The three of them found a seat in a corner and sat down, listening to the exchanges of people around them.

"How long do we have to get there? It's too cold in the sky. And it's getting colder and colder. I didn't bring any thick clothes."

"Don't worry, brother, the captain said about tomorrow? I have one and will give it to you later."

"Hell, I hope there's something fruitful this time."

"Why are you short of money? I remember that you made a lot of money from the last payment?"

"You don't understand. The mother-in-law at home has children, so how can that little money be enough?"

"Oh, that's true, hahaha."

While Zhuang Cai and the others were quietly listening to the exchanges of people around them, a man came over and sat in front of them.

Several people looked over.

This is a man who is taller than Zhuang Cai.

Although he is tall, he does not look bloated. He cannot be called a strong man, but he can still be called a tough guy.

Fangzheng's face gave people a feeling of righteousness.

There appears to be a black, triangular-shaped dog ear on top of its head.

I just can't tell what kind of ears it is.

He was wearing body-shaping clothes and a simple tactical vest, with some signs hanging on his chest.

There is a long knife on his waist.

The hands and arms exposed by rolling up the sleeves have various obvious scars, and the ends of patterns that look like tattoos can be seen.

It gives people a somewhat sturdy feeling.

Sitting at the table, he looked at the three of them and smiled.

"Are you not used to the atmosphere here?"

he said.

Zhuang Cai looked at him, adjusted his mentality, smiled and nodded: "I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

"Haha, it's okay. For ordinary people, it is true."

Then he stretched out his hand to shake Zhuang Cai's hand and said.

"Meet my friend, I am the captain of this airship, just call me Angel."

"Captain Angel, call me Zhuang Cai."

The two of them, Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu, also briefly introduced themselves.

In the current situation where the background is unclear, it is better to say less.

"Strange name. Are you a friend from afar? Then we are really destined."

Then he said with a smile: "Although you just boarded the ship yesterday, I have to say something. Our purpose this time is Anfisa Island, and we are going to archaeologically excavate the ruins.

So we have to stay there for a long time, probably half a month to a month. We will send you back only after this.

But even so, it's much faster than waiting for the new airship to arrive at the border.

But don’t worry, the boat ride has already been paid and we won’t ask for anything more from you. Although we look like this, we still pay great attention to credibility. "

After he finished speaking, his smiling expression turned serious, he knocked on the table and said, "But don't make trouble here, okay?"

He seemed to have noticed that Zhuang Cai and the others were not like ordinary people, giving them a slightly dangerous feeling, so he went out of his way to remind them.

Zhuang Cai seemed to be deep in thought, and nodded after thinking for a while.

"Of course, although it won't be long, we are not in a hurry."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on his serious expression.

"Haha, that's good. Don't be restrained here. After all, you are going to stay here for a long time.

Although none of my brothers seem like good people, after all, we are engaged in a dangerous business.

As friends, we are still easy to talk to.

If you have any needs, you can tell us. After all, you paid a lot of money for the ship. For you, food and drink on the ship are free. "

After talking for a few words, he left.

The three ignorant people were left looking at each other.

Communicating in a low voice.

"So what is this person talking about?" Nan Subei asked doubtfully.

"It can be roughly concluded from this information that these people look a little dangerous, but they should belong to a more regular team? Maybe.

This time they need to go to an island for an archaeological mission. Well...it doesn't feel like serious archeology.

According to the introduction of the background mission, it will definitely not go smoothly. Our identity is that the people who boarded the ship on the way are different from their destination.

It's just that we paid a lot of money to make them willing to give us a ride, but we had to wait for them to finish the work.

So we were not familiar with the people on the boat.

But after all, it is a dungeon. From the introduction of the dungeon, we can also know that this time it will not be a safe operation. Judging from the performance of these people, they didn't seem to realize that there was much danger. "

After Zhuang Cai summarized the information he now knew.

Rongrong looked at the people at the table in front of her.

The few people at the table were just as out of tune with the people on this ship as they were.

He looks more civilized, a bit like a scholar.

"That table over there could be the archaeologists he just said he wanted to escort?"

Rongrong said.

Zhuang Cai glanced at it and nodded: "If nothing else happens, it should be."

The chat just now was not just casual chat, they deliberately wanted to get some information from Angel's mouth.

The three of them chatted slowly.

"Let's get in touch with these people later and get more information."

"I'm going to look for any other information."

Zhuang Cai stood up and said.

The door leading to the deck outside has been locked to avoid accidents due to strong winds.

The ding-dong sound just now was a reminder that the deck was about to be sealed off and people were asked to come indoors.

You can go through the restaurant and go down the indoor ladder.

Zhuang Cai walked through the restaurant alone. Behind the restaurant was a resting place. Further ahead, he could see what seemed to be the command room that controlled the entire ship.

Walked down the stairs next to them and came to the corridor they just came from.

All the way back to his room.

He remembered that there were several books on the desk in his room.
