Hmm, this appearance may indeed be a bit close to the Titan Warforged."
Having said that, Karl always felt that the old guy was not telling the truth.
There are many possible forms that the Airbus can transform into, why do you have to make it into the appearance of a Titan?
Carl didn't believe that there was no reason behind this.
After exchanging glances with Nia, Carl did not expose the other party, but they both knew in their hearts that this investigation might not be as simple as they imagined.
At least the old man who was in charge of guarding the abandoned factory didn't tell much truth.
But they should have expected this when they came. Why would someone be specifically watching over an abandoned factory with no problems? "Let's talk about business first. Why was this factory abandoned back then?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit bad, Nia, as the main person responsible for the incident, took the lead in stepping forward to smooth things over.
Thanks to helping Carl run the workshop these days, Nia has become much more talkative when meeting strangers.
When this was mentioned, the old man suddenly became melancholy.
"Alas, just like what this kid said just now, because it involves the issue of private research on Titan war figurines, the Financial Power Society bribed the officials, so that this matter has not been judged yet.
Without a clear verdict, the factory could neither be sold nor started, and the workers were laid off, and it has remained like this until now. ”
The old man's words made Karl a little confused. He had just said "it's OK even if it's a septic tank", why did he say that again now? Seeing the old man's current appearance, Karl thought it was just an angry remark, so he stopped asking.
Nia chatted with the old man for a few more words, then hurried away with Karl and the others.
"There's something wrong with this person!"
Back in the car, V had just driven the commercial vehicle out of the factory when Lisanna couldn't help but start yelling.
Carl knew that there was something wrong with the other party, but he didn't expect that even Lisanna could see it.
Looking at Lisanna with amusement, Carl asked with a smile: "What problem do you see?"
"He knew that the things he made had caused the Andel officials to close the factory, but he just left the things in the workshop? Is this guy sick?
If I had made a mistake, I would have gotten rid of it immediately. How could I have left it there? "
When it comes to covering up her crimes, Lisanna seems very experienced.
After Lisanna finished speaking, Ying also interrupted and said, "That man is very wary of us. My psychic power tells me that he is afraid that we will go forward to check the remains of the Titan Warforged."
After listening to Ying's words, Carl nodded.
"V, go to the ruins of Shadow Monastery."
This Shadow Monastery is the site of the warrior monk monastery that Ying wants to go to. According to legend, this was the former residence of the Shadow Sect, a warrior monk sect.
The monks of the Shadow Clan are similar to ninjas. With their excellent endurance and resilience, coupled with sophisticated stealth skills and persistence in a certain belief, they quickly stood out from other schools of monks and became the first choice for Andel nobles to raise Deadpools.
Today, the most complete Shadow Sect training methods are all in the hands of the Andel nobles.
If an old Andel noble family does not have a few such ninjas, his other colleagues will laugh at him.
Ying inquired about this kind of place probably to learn the training methods of the Shadow Sect monks.
Soon, under V's control, the car arrived at the monastery ruins.
This place is far away from the city and almost in the wilderness.
The broken stone walls reveal a sense of vicissitudes, and the mottled murals can no longer make out the specific content.
"Are you sure you can find what you want here?"
After all, they were companions who had lived together for quite some time, so Carl couldn't help but express his concern.
"It's just a chance. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Ying stepped out of the car and walked behind the stone wall of the monastery ruins.
…
"What? Carl is traveling with Nia, Lisanna, and the drow clerk in his store?"
At the entrance of the voodoo workshop, Moore's class, who had made a breakthrough in the experiment, heard the people from the next door talking about the whereabouts of Carl and others, and he felt panicked for a moment.
Although he is a machinist, he is actually quite superstitious.
Especially after Carl encountered those incidents, Mooreban became more and more reluctant to let his apprentice go to those unfamiliar places without permission.
Although he had accepted apprentices before, Carl was the only one who made him feel comfortable.
What's more, Carl can always help with his experiments.
Just as he was about to set off for Tonglu City, Morban suddenly remembered that there were still some things he needed to deal with at the Tower of Wonders.
After weighing the options, Mooreban decided to trust his apprentice's luck.
So he returned to the Tower of Wonders.
But he was not completely reassured about this matter, so he called No. 1 and Mitris.
"There's something I need you to do for me."
At this point, Mitris had roughly returned to her human form.
Her head and limbs are now treated with the bionic material that Carl discovered.
It's just that Mooreben deliberately changed her appearance.
"Are you willing to let me go out? Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Looking at Mooreband playfully, Midris said this deliberately.
Recently, she had also tried to learn the knowledge of the School of Necromancer, but it turned out that it was not that easy to pass the test of Arcanix. She couldn't even work part-time as a level 1 wizard.
The professions of priest and paladin also excluded her.
Because she actually has no faith.
If you have to say what she believes in, it's probably the Son of Winter's theory of the cycle of life and death and the survival of the fittest.
But this obviously doesn't make her a cleric or a paladin.
All her current strength comes entirely from the prosthetic body that Moore class equipped her with.
These mechanical structures make her combat power not much worse than that of an ordinary level 8 warrior, but as long as Mooreban and No. 1 have the slightest thought, those prostheses will be peeled off from her body.
There was no way Mitris could accept herself like this.
"You can try to leave, but I can't guarantee that you can survive on your own for long."
After implicitly threatening Midris with these words, Moore looked at her and waited for her answer.
"Okay, I'll go over there. Will the big dog come with me?"
Pointing to No. 1 next to her, Mitris asked somewhat unwillingly.
Nodding, Mooreban made way, indicating that the man and the dog could leave.
"There is a teleportation array inside the academy that leads directly to Tonglu City. I can make the decision to have you teleport directly there. Remember, get Karl back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Mooreband gave Midris permission to use the teleportation array.
Under the leadership of No. 1, Mitris soon arrived at Tonglu City.
Outside the teleportation array, a noisy crowd was coming and going.
Most of them came to discuss business with the Tongxing Longwen family.
Mitris only stood in front of the magic circle for a moment before being pushed aside by several businessmen.
“Get out of the way!”
After saying that, the businessman walked into the teleportation array and disappeared.
"Let's go and find our Master Karl!"
With a sense of inexplicable resentment, Midris and No. 1 walked out of the teleportation hall.
However, it was not until the two of them came to the street that they remembered that Moore's class had not told them where Carl had gone.
To make matters worse, Moore forgot to pay them both.
"Tsk! This old guy is really unreliable!"
Subconsciously, Mitris directly spoke ill of Moore's class.
Number 1 on the side opened his mouth, but in the end didn't say much.
"Since Karl is bringing people here for a tour, why don't we go to the tourist attraction and wait for them? This guy really only cares about food and not about beatings. He was almost killed by me in the storm last time, but he still has the mood to travel?"
Listening to Mitris's complaints, No. 1 remained silent and just walked towards the south city gate.
It connected with Moore's memory and knew that Carl came in a black horseless carriage.
The guards of Tonglu City might be able to know where Carl is going.
However, at this moment, they were not the only two people who were asking about Karl.
Some businessmen were also asking around for the location of the black car.
However, unlike Mitris's goal, they wanted the car more than the person.
It's not like there aren't similar things in Eberron. Mages and artificers can even create constructs, so how could they not think of something like a motor vehicle? But the key is the cost.
The cost price of a carriage pulled by magic horses has been reduced to the lowest by the Dragon Mark Family and the Livestock Dragon Mark Family.
Other businessmen who wanted to enter this industry were basically squeezed into bankruptcy.
Sarn's airship is based on the same principle as the once popular Airbus and airship. It uses elemental power, and the cost price is there, which means that it is destined to be something that ordinary people cannot afford.
But Carl's car was different.
Those businessmen wearing constant identification glasses saw its "cheap nature" at a glance.
Except for the steel guard used for autonomous driving, the entire car is made almost entirely of ordinary materials.
What is the most expensive thing in the magic world? Precious materials and related technologies are secondary. The most important thing is the labor cost of the caster!
Especially for something that's trying to be universal.
Even if the caster needs to participate in one more process, the cost will increase by hundreds or thousands after the production quantity increases.
How could businessmen suffer such a loss?
But now, a person is driving such a cheap thing on the street openly.
Anyone with a bit of ambition in the vehicle industry cannot ignore it.
At least you should know the cost of the car.
