Chapter 767 First Contact
The three banshees immediately quieted down.
This is on land, and the banshees are not good at stealth, so the three of them prepared for battle immediately.
Logically speaking, what's here should be the underground of the Rhine, and what's in front of us should be untouchable, but it's better to be cautious.
The banshees tried their best to hide in the shadows, and the huge mechanical arm retracted and then reached out again.
Following behind it was a rather large machine.
"This thing looks like an excavator." Monica whispered.
Hughes had specially drawn a blueprint for an excavator, but it only existed on the blueprint. Currently, the only power that could be used in this world was steam power. The electric control system had not yet left the laboratory, and the internal combustion engine was also a bit unstable.
But the three of them saw the excavator that only existed in the drawings.
"It really does look like it. Isn't that a hydraulic lever?"
The machine in front of him, minus the unnecessary decorations and messy redundant parts, actually coincided with Hughes' design.
The three of them looked at each other, and their expressions gradually became serious.
Even Castel's technical level couldn't solve it, but this guy managed to do it?!
Think about Xiaobu's terrifying learning ability
"What do you think? Could it be that they are the biggest enemy, the kind that is scarier than the Candlelight Society?" Una asked in a low voice.
"Whether they are enemies or not, we should make contact with them." Nini shook her head.
As the excavator appeared in front of several people, the people in the cockpit were also exposed.
The man had big eyes, pale skin, and pointed ears, and was obviously from the same tribe as Xiaobu.
Monica wanted to step forward when she heard that, but was stopped by Nini's three hands.
"I'll go negotiate. Una, you stay in the rear and adapt to the situation and prepare for support. And you, Monica..." Nini lowered her head and looked at Monica, "you will return now and deliver the information to Castel."
Monica was stunned when she heard this, and then she was anxiously preparing to speak.
But Nini raised her hand to stop him: "This is an order, Monica. This should be your first time on the battlefield. Please obey the order immediately and don't let me down."
The banshees came here with a mission, they are a serious war sequence.
Monica's eyes widened, shock, anger, anxiety, all kinds of expressions flashed across her face.
Finally, she bit her lip, turned unwillingly and walked quickly towards the dark river.
Nini kept watching Monica's figure go away until she heard a slight sound of water. Only then did she calm down and walk out of the shadow where she was hiding.
In the excavator nearby, the untouchable was humming a song and waving the mechanical arm to search through the garbage pile. Suddenly, when he saw Nini's tall figure, he was so frightened that he almost fell out of the cab.
"Hello, I'm Nini. I'm from Castel. Xiaobu delivered the letter to us. I have a reply letter in my hand. Can you take me to find Frey?"
Nini tried to sound friendly, standing still and looking nervously at the untouchables in the distance.
Although the Untouchable was short in stature, Nini might not be able to defeat him if she used this huge excavator in a fight.
Therefore, she briefly explained the situation as soon as possible, hoping to avoid any misunderstanding.
The little man opposite was stunned for a moment, then jumped up from his seat. "You, you're from Castel?! Did Xiaobu's letter arrive? And you even know Lord Frey!"
He was obviously a little excited, and his words were a little incoherent, but Nini just smiled and nodded.
"My name is Gragra! Nice to meet you!"
The untouchable jumped down from the excavator and walked over quickly. But when he was almost there, he seemed to think of something and stopped timidly.
"Please, please don't come too close to me. Touching us will bring misfortune."
His voice lowered.
Nini narrowed her eyes slightly and actually kept a certain distance from him.
"Are you from Castel? You have so many hands."
"Not everyone has so many hands." Nini answered casually.
She kept observing Gragra in front of her. The little guy's expression did not seem fake. Whether he was happy or sad, it was almost written directly on his face.
Moreover, he had no doubt or vigilance at all and believed Nini's words.
What surprised Nini the most was that he didn't seem to have much resistance or fear towards her.
Nini looked down at herself. She was a banshee over four meters tall, and almost as tall as two stories when she stood up straight.
Standing in front of her, the pressure you feel is like an ordinary person standing next to an elephant. Your body will remind you all the time that this is a creature that can easily crush you to death.
And Gragra is even shorter than an ordinary person, less than 1.4 meters tall.
He looked up at the huge Nini in front of him and exclaimed in surprise: "You are so tall."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "I'll take you to see Lord Frey!"
Nini glanced back at Una and followed.
Nini followed him, passing through the garbage dump and arriving at a building - or rather, a larger garbage dump.
In addition to the garbage everywhere, there are also many large machines.
Nini could only recognize that it was a machine, and she couldn't tell what its other functions were.
There was no way, these things looked a little too messy. Nini then felt that Gragra's excavator was the simplest one, at least it could be used.
For example, the one on the left has two long legs for walking, but it has no robotic arms, but instead a huge furnace.
A walking furnace? What good would it do?
It also looks like the huge frame-shaped machine in front, which looks like a steam gantry crane used in ports, but it has eight robotic arms installed, and I don’t know what it is used for.
Nini had only seen this design idea from Tata, the aircraft carrier equipped with a ram, a catapult, and a Gatling gun.
But to be honest, Nini is quite impressed. At least these messy things can really move, and the way they move is quite amazing.
For example, a mechanical gear was installed. Nini originally thought that it could rotate, but it turned out to be a supporting structure. The teeth on the gear were designed to contact the ground to prevent slipping.
All the designs highlight a bizarre one that is beyond the imagination of normal people.
In addition to these machines, Nini also met many of Xiaobu's tribesmen.
These untouchables all look very similar, with big eyes and slender bodies, making people feel somewhat alienated.
What was even more bizarre was their personalities. These untouchables surrounded Nini, their eyes full of curiosity, without even a hint of fear.
