Even after Yun Wei sat down atop the magic crystal turret, his emotions were still far from calm. Looking at the crowd gathered in the distant square, he felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
Just now, Isaac said he would take him "to a place".
He followed the other person without thinking.
As a result, Isaac was so audacious as to try to sneak up onto the magic crystal turret standing in the city.
Moreover, the turret they were in was clearly the tallest one in the city center, about seventy meters above the ground.
Today is market day in the city. Although the guards on duty are quite lax, Yun Wei finds it hard to believe that Isaac didn't scout the place beforehand, given how familiar he is with the area.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when the sentry next to the firing port turned around, they even scaled the walls and slipped up to the top of the tower.
Yun Wei had never done anything so thrilling or reckless before.
This was truly an unforgettable date.
"How's the view? Pretty good, huh?" The servant sitting behind him spoke lazily, his iron-like arms encircling his waist and pulling him toward the other's broad chest.
The other person's voice rose at the end, clearly carrying a smug desire for praise.
Yun Wei pondered for a moment, then finally leaned against the other's chest with relief and softly replied, "Mmm."
On this day, almost all the workshops in the city tacitly chose to close, and the gloom that had shrouded the Alchemy City actually dissipated. In the late autumn season, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and his vision could go very far.
It was nearly dusk, and the world was bathed in golden light.
The boundless plains looked as if they were plated with gold, while the distant Durand River was like a golden carpet adorned with ribbons of gold leaf.
The bustling crowd was right beneath their feet, yet the restless world seemed far away.
A quiet, gentle breeze blew lazily by, causing the hem of Isaac's trench coat to flutter.
Yun Wei's mood suddenly calmed down.
He turned his head and quietly looked at his boyfriend behind him. His profile against the sunset was like a tranquil silhouette, and his long, thick eyelashes seemed to be the only softness in the picture.
Isaac noticed his gaze and turned to look at him, asking, "What's wrong?"
But Yun Wei didn't want to answer him.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around the other person's neck and kissed him without a second thought.
Even though the servant behind him was initially startled, he felt completely at ease.
Because he believed Isaac would never let him fall downwards.
It seemed as if tiny pebbles were rolling down the eaves along the cracks in the roof tiles, and as if birds returning to their nests were humming a love song of longing. Yun Wei, however, kept his eyes slightly closed, breathing in the scent emanating from Isaac.
It turns out that it wasn't just his eyelashes; Isaac's lips were soft too. Yun Wei added in his mind.
He thought that the most intimate gestures should indeed be saved for last.
Although, in reality, he already really wanted to kiss his boyfriend when they were still at the gate of the house.
Perhaps to make up for the long wait, Yun Wei was reluctant to let go of Isaac's hand.
Three months ago, he could never have imagined it—
One day, he will kneel on the smooth tiled surface at the highest point of the gilded plain, yearning for eternity in an almost frantic quest.
...
When the magic lamp lit up, Yun Wei climbed onto Isaac's back.
The revelers gradually dispersed, and Alchemy City returned to its usual deathly silence. Lights from different directions illuminated the two figures, casting shadows of varying depths on the ground.
The large hand supporting his thigh felt very reliable, but Yun Wei couldn't help but blush.
The ascent of the tower went exceptionally smoothly, with Isaac's assistance. He focused solely on climbing upwards until he reached the top.
But whether it was due to lack of oxygen at the top of the tower or because he had overexerted himself, his limbs were shaking uncontrollably as he descended the tower.
He simply couldn't climb down the outer edge of the tower by himself.
In the end, he was carried back to the ground by Isaac.
When he finally stepped onto the ground, he stumbled, his aching thighs still stubbornly refusing to cooperate.
And so he fell into Isaac's arms once again.
Although the other person's embrace was reassuring, Yun Wei absolutely could not accept the other person carrying him around in public.
And coincidentally, Isaac had been holding a grudge about not being able to carry him on his back last time.
That's how the current situation came about.
Yun Wei was still wearing Isaac's trench coat on his back. As soon as he heard that Yun Wei had agreed, Isaac excitedly took off his coat, revealing his flat and broad back.
Although Isaac was cold, Yun Wei felt warm.
He knew that his burning body temperature was clearly conveying his feelings to Isaac through the thin fabric.
He leaned back against the other person, looking down and listening to their increasingly synchronized heartbeats.
This is a beauty in autumn that is even more delightful than the harvest.
...
After returning to the Sid mansion, the two did not go down to the basement, but instead went into the empty laboratory.
The mecha developed by the Hand of the Gods faction is a combat-type puppet named "Big Mary I".
Yun Wei was carefully reading the instruction manual for this mecha, his expression complex.
“So, ‘Big Mary’ is used to train warriors.” Yun Wei put the hastily written note back into the wooden box and said to Isaac with a solemn expression, “This mecha is lightning-attribute, and its special feature is that it can autonomously repair damage caused by lightning-attribute battle aura.”
Isaac nodded, clearly understanding what he meant. "So the other party did indeed extract and utilize the tissues of chaotic creatures. They used their ability to proliferate infinitely to achieve slow self-healing."
Yun Wei added, "Yes, that's right, and they also used special methods to suppress that characteristic."
This obviously makes things more complicated.
Looking at the invention itself, it is actually quite advantageous.
Unlike mages and divine spellcasters, warriors rely more on real combat experience with swords clashing in the air for training.
In reality, however, the unpredictable nature of combat can easily render a young genius obsolete before he has even reached his full potential.
However, with these self-healing training puppets, Yun Wei could imagine that in the future, well-trained warriors would appear in large numbers on the Zhuyuan Continent.
However, when one thinks of the complex situation of lords scheming against each other on the continent of Zhuyuan, even the best invention will become a deadly poison.
Such mechs will likely end up as the private property of some ambitious lord, who will train them to form a guard to slaughter indiscriminately and expand their territory.
Yun Wei sighed, walked to the blackboard next to the control panel, and circled the main questions.
"First, how did the chaotic creatures outside Red Moon City manage to smuggle into Alchemy City in just three short months?"
"Secondly, how did the 'Hand of the Archmage' know how to process and dispose of chaotic creatures? How did they do it, or was someone telling them behind the scenes?"
"Finally, and this is the most crucial point for us," Yun Wei looked at Isaac and said slowly, "Did the Liujin family and Sid know about the whole thing? What is their actual stance?"
