Chapter 177 The Truth
The dilapidated and ancient giant buildings lined up silently on the ground covered with black sand, like numb soldiers looking at the dark furnace heart at the end of the sky.

The white gears in the sky are still rotating slowly. Under the rotation of the mechanical sky, the Mechanic Heart, like the sun, is still lingering and shining, stubbornly preventing this world from falling into eternal darkness.

There seems to be a new change in this world.

Around Herman, there were many phantom afterimages. They wandered between the buildings and the streets, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

As if the disaster never happened, people continue to live in this black and white country.

It's a pity that they couldn't hear the call of the descendants of giants. Even if the adventurer stretched out his hand, those phantoms would still pass through Herman's fingertips and continue to move forward silently.

The world became blurred again, until the serious and focused voice of Director Dean reached the adventurer's ears.

"How is the progress of the pyroxene crystal building? Daphne?"

The black and white remnants of the city gradually went away, and in a daze, Herman, who was leaning on the pile of pyroxene, opened his eyes.

"It's half done! Mentor Dean!"

Someone responded briskly, and Herman sat up straight. He saw the blond girl with disheveled hair busy under the guidance of Director Dean, and Daphne polishing a huge crystal-like stone.

The extremely heavy abyss material is like a lightweight toy in her hands, and it has been transformed into a suitable shape with her mind. Daphne's face is covered with dust and oil, but her eyes are shining brightly.

Blonde is working on the core build of the crystal server.

Even in the desolate frontier, the giant little princess still blooms with her own vitality.

On the other side, another Dean apprentice named Roy was also disheveled. The gray-haired boy rolled up his sleeves and was helping the old man.

He seemed to be working as a welder, and was assembling the mechanical base of the crystal server. The dazzling electric sparks sizzled at Roy's fingertips.

Under the guidance of the person in charge of the machinery, the complete parts that have been built are gradually welded together in the hands of the young man.

"Not bad, it's a very convenient ability about Thunderbolt's extraordinary characteristics. Although you don't have a foundation in mechanics, you are really suitable for this direction, Roy."

Dean nodded again and again, his eyes full of approval: "After this field mission is over, we can conduct research on the characteristics of Thunder."

The old man was exercising extraordinary strength. Several expensive materials from the abyss were suspended in mid-air, and were pulled to the most suitable position under the action of invisible gravity.

"I'm listening to you, Teacher Dean."

The young man wiped his sweat with his hand, and worked diligently in front of the toolman.

It is worth mentioning that although Dean did not know Roy's real identity, under Charles' insinuation, Dean also faintly made his own guess in his heart.

He believes that Roy should be the spokesperson of the mysterious god behind the Deep Sea Company, an existence similar to the holy son of the church...

In this way, many unreasonable things can be explained.

On this point, Dean and Violet reached an agreement by coincidence...

It's just that Dean doesn't intend to pierce the window paper. Even if Roy is a believer in the gods, Dean will continue to be his mentor. Anyway, this is not contradictory.

Besides, Roy's thunder characteristics are really incomparable with the practical application of mechanics... This apprentice is really easy to use...

Dean made an evaluation in his heart and continued to guide the construction of the server.

Everyone is very busy.

Thanks to their efforts, the outline of the crystal server has already taken shape. Although it is much smaller than the main station in Deep Sea Company, the new server has all the functions it should have. As the core of the border city, it is completely enough.

No one cares about the great adventurer sitting slumped in the pile of pyroxene.

Obviously, everyone is not used to Herman's sleepwalking state.

"Since I came into contact with the mechanical creations of the Deep Sea Company, my soul has been pulled by the hearth more and more frequently... It's really weird..."

While muttering to himself, Herman stood up, patted the dust off his body, and touched his chest involuntarily. The fragments of Mechanism Heart were still humming, just like his vibrating soul.

The adventurer was a little groggy, subconsciously supported his forehead.

"Anthracene? You're awake, Mr. Hermann."

At the same time, the giant princess carrying the pyroxene noticed the awakening of the adventurer. Daphne smiled and said hello: "I think your mental state is not very good, do you need to rest?"

"I'm sorry, as a mechanical scholar, I was here to help, but I still caused trouble for you."

Herman nodded apologetically, and the adventurer picked up his long cane and voluntarily stepped aside.

"Roy, you can go out with Mr. Herman for a walk, and Daphne and I can just leave the final setup of the server to me."

At this moment, Dean gave instructions to the boy.

Roy nodded and happily accepted the job of fishing. He put down the materials in his hand, made a proud face at the blond girl not far away, and then walked in front of Herman. Daphne was angry The wooden door was pushed open in the eyes.

"Come with me, Mr. Adventurer."

At this moment, the boy turned his head and looked at the descendant of the giant who was a little drowsy, and Roy's eyes flickered.

Although Roy has been assisting Mentor Dean to build the server on the surface, as a god, from the beginning, the Storm Lord's eyes have been fixed on the adventurer's soul.

Herman's soul state is indeed very strange.

He gave up most of his flesh and blood, and used the residue of Mekgom's Heart to transform his body, thus possessing a long lifespan and becoming a legend of immortality.

As a mechanical scholar who has lived for 170 years, Herman has been traveling between the world and the abyss, leaving his footprints in countless abyss worlds. From this point of view, he is indeed a veritable adventurer .

But Roy noticed...

— In fact, Hermann was already dead.

The moment he replaced his own heart of flesh with the residue of Mekgom's heart, the adventurer was dead... His soul was dragged by the weight of the hearth into the realm of black and white, and remained forever in the tomb of the abyss inside.

The problem is that... every once in a while, his soul will crawl out of the cold abyss again, and rest in that weird mechanical heart again.

It's like some kind of cruel curse and imprisonment...
