Chapter 93-93- Equipment Development
Hearing this, Yvette let out a soft sigh. She hadn't expected this result. Bingyu beside her couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Mr. Ed, how long ago did this happen?"
"It's been at least ten years, right?" Ed thought for a moment and said, "The deformed creatures deep in the mountains often come to this 'Fos River' and the surrounding areas to feed. Although we're hiding in the 'water tower', we can't stay down forever. Otherwise, how can we practice? Accidents are very likely to happen during this process."
Has he been dead for ten years?
Yvette was speechless, but soon realized that judging from the situation of the mechanical race, this should be a very easy thing to happen.
After all, the information exchange channels are primitive and closed, there are no stable messengers, and messages can only be delivered manually. Moreover, they are naturally immortal species and lack sensitivity to the passage of time...
Hey, why is it so similar to my situation in every aspect?
But mechanical parts will also age, but her vitality is endless and shows no signs of weakening. From this perspective, if she encounters a similar situation, it may be more serious than that of the mechanical people.
But it should be okay. My apprentice has broken through the theoretical lifespan limit of the original civilization's cognition, so common sense cannot be used to treat him...
She silently dismissed those pesky speculations about lifespan, straightened her composure, and said, "Mr. Ed, could you please take us to Miss Bluebell's grave? Since I couldn't deliver it while she was still alive, I'd like Mr. Copperskin's letter to be buried with her."
"Hey, are you saying that the sender's name is Tongpi?" Ed asked in surprise.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Ed and the adjutant walked in front, leading the way while saying, "I remember Miss Bluebell once told us that she ran away from home after a big quarrel with her lover. The name of that lover seemed to be Copperskin..."
"ah?"
At this moment, except for Abella, Yvette, Bingyu, and even Dougrabi were all stunned. The image of Mr. Copper Skin suddenly appeared in their minds - his body was a tin drum, his head was round, and his face had no facial features other than two glowing round eyes. He looked like a dull, silly little robot with a very serious personality...
What's going on? You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually in a relationship? You're arguing with your lover? You're even hiding it from everyone?
Yvette suddenly felt that the mechanical people did not seem to be as honest and simple as they appeared.
Now that we have learned how to conceal something, shouldn’t the next step be to master lying, a core human skill?
…
The cemetery of Shuita Kingdom is located in a wilderness outside the city. It is filled with small mounds with wooden sticks stuck in them. They are probably simple cenotaphs built to imitate humans. Different cenotaphs are also equipped with different small ornaments to confirm their identities.
Miss Bluebell's tomb was covered with small blue and purple flowers, which could be identified at a glance. After burying the letter in the pile of soil, Yvette's letter delivery mission was completed, but she felt a little regretful because it was not truly delivered to the recipient.
Bingyu and Dugrabi, who were standing by, ruined the atmosphere by gossiping the whole time, speculating about how Copperskin and Bluebell fell in love with each other, and who pursued whom first.
As the two were arguing about this, Abella suddenly said, "They are not in a romantic relationship."
After the two of them looked over, and even the owner glanced at her, she smiled and said, "It must be Miss Bluebell's unrequited love, but Mr. Copperskin didn't understand. There might also be some disagreements, such as whether to move the kingdom away from Kux. Anyway, in the end, she got angry and chose to leave."
"How do you know? You obviously don't know Copper Skin." Dugrabi said doubtfully.
Yvette reacted immediately: "Did you read the letter?"
"Yes." Abella was not ashamed at all, and even seemed a little proud.
"Miss Abella, you are so rude! How can you peek at other people's letters?" Bingyu said immediately.
"Indeed." Dugrabi also showed a contemptuous expression.
"So what?" Abella didn't care at all. "I'm a descendant of a god, why should I be so polite? I'm not human." After saying that, she turned her head to look at Yvette and said sincerely, "I only have loyalty to my master! Nothing else matters!"
"...I understand." Yvette.
After completing the letter delivery mission, Yvette thought that if Miss Bluebell had any letters waiting to be sent during her lifetime, she would definitely not send them.
Although it doesn't matter if I go back, it's a long road and there will always be a chance to meet again in the future, but I feel that letting Tongpi know this unpleasant fact will only increase the pain.
It is better to let it go with the wind and forget about it.
Immediately after the matter came to an end, Ed warmly invited everyone to stay in Water Tower Country for a while, intending to express his gratitude to the late Miss Bellflower.
Yvette readily agreed. On the one hand, she was curious whether this city, as a border city of the Rusted Free State, could provide any information related to the Holy Spirit Sect and Undead Magic. On the other hand, she felt that the suspected existence of a powerful aberration nest around the Water Tower Country would also be a good hunting spot.
Moreover, her "Wind Magic Codex" has reached the final stage of compilation, and she needs to concentrate on the idea, so it is not suitable for her to travel long distances.
…
Yvette lived in Water Tower Country for two years.
During this period, she completed the compilation of the "Wind Magic Codex" and the third part, the "Pure Blue Magic Codex". Needless to say, the former is about water magic, while the latter focuses on water magic and includes the sub-branch of ice magic.
During this long period of compilation, she introduced some understanding of magic circuit etching and began to try to make the magic codex itself into a special magical equipment.
If it can be successfully completed, "Fire Magic Codex", "Wind Magic Codex" and the future "Pure Blue Magic Codex" will no longer be just simple knowledge books.
It can also become a magic terminal with powerful combat attributes. By simply connecting the book itself with mental power and magic power, the spells recorded on it can be cast, which greatly improves convenience.
Even in critical moments, it can fly in the sky like a floating cannon and fight automatically, achieving fully automatic fire coverage.
Of course, to achieve this military robot-like effect, some other means of assistance are definitely needed, such as chips.
Coincidentally, due to some foresight in the past, Yvette had purchased a large number of element chips when she entered the dream of Agashe, and it was completely possible to use them as the core of a magic book.
She also has a complete mind core that she recovered from the wreckage of a mechanical puppet she found during her travels - an AI chip with its own small cache that can save her a lot of trouble.
Thus, combined with other small components such as elemental capacitors, after traveling for more than five hundred years, the first magical equipment that incorporated the essence of all her knowledge of magical engineering was finally slowly born in this deserted yet vibrant submerged city.
