Chapter 417 Convergence
"Boss." Macajron's head almost hit the console, "It's not like they were discovered."

Xiuer didn't answer. He frowned and was silent for a while. Then his voice came from under the empty console: "Do our own thing and don't worry about anything."

"Boss, you..."

"Since you are teammates, since you have entrusted them with that side, you have to believe that they are capable of handling it well. If you can't do this, you shouldn't entrust them to them from the beginning." There was no hesitation in Xiuer's voice, "I believe they won't be discovered. Even if they are discovered, they can solve it by themselves. Let's find out the way to the Tower of Babel as originally planned."

"Understood, boss, I noticed that you seem to have changed a bit, which is good." The halfling grinned and giggled for a while, then suddenly remembered that Xiul couldn't see him at all, so he could only scratch his head in embarrassment and said, "Okay. , Wei doesn’t need it here.”

"Well, let's restore it to the original state. Try not to let the machines have a chance to see it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Even if they did, we would have left long ago." Xiure remained invisible and climbed out from under the console. He walked out and said, "I'll go to the door first to see if you know where to find me."

"I know, I know, go ahead." The halfling snickered, "Don't worry, hehe."

"Believing is one thing, worrying is another." Shuer snorted awkwardly and quietly walked out the door, "Besides, the sirens outside are so loud, we have to find out what happened. "

After walking out of the factory and hiding in the agreed corner, Shuer found that the outside was not as tense as he imagined. There were indeed more mechanical puppets, but the increase was limited, no more than 50.00%, and there was no troop transport port in the factory. When it was opened, the hidden guards did not appear. It seemed that this alarm was not an alarm for an intrusion. Otherwise, if it were Shuer himself, if someone sneaked into the camp, he would definitely have sent heavy troops to set up defenses. No matter whether the enemy could be found or not, The territory must be defended tightly first. Whether or not the enemy can be caught is secondary. The key is to prevent the enemy from achieving their goals. In many cases, catching the enemy is more important.

Nowadays, the mechanical city has not become as tight as an iron barrel. Mechanical spiders are still crawling all over the ground, and defective humanoid puppets are still patrolling along the streets stupidly. Apart from their numbers, there is no sign of any nervousness among them. However, , but there are mechanical puppets from the bottom constantly moving in the direction of the floating city, as if they want to expand the defense line there.

"Boss, I'm here." Macajerun made a deliberate noise next to Xiure, "How are you?"

"Do you still remember the conversation between the two metal figures just now?" Shuer said without looking back, "There are two groups of guests coming, and one of them is their new member."

"Oh, sir, Wind Cello, is it the Mechanic Cult who has come to make a pilgrimage?"

"The plan has changed. We will go back to find them first." Xiuer thought for a moment and replied, "We will discuss the specific situation after we are reunited."

As soon as they left, the two of them carefully avoided the rampaging mechanical spiders and quickly returned to the resting position of the other shadow chasers. During this period, Shuer's eyes were focused on the floating city in the distance. It seemed that he could see, Something flew down from the edge of the city, but it was too far away to see clearly.

"Da da, da da da", instead of entering the temporary base rashly, the two of them used signals at the door to announce their return. The mechanical puppets passing by did not care about similar sounds. They should only be sensitive to images, so there was no Noticed the two people who disappeared.Soon, a response signal appeared in the abandoned building. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and sneaked into the abandoned building.

"Sure." The abandoned building was empty, and there were no mechanical puppets patrolling it. However, as soon as they entered, they heard Saff's familiar anxious voice, "I heard the alarm, are you okay?"

No one could be seen, only voices could be heard. It seemed that she was very careful to remain invisible.

"Saf, are you on duty?"

"Well, I have good ears, so I am more suitable here than them. They are resting inside." Sav's mood stabilized. Apparently, Shuer's appearance made her feel completely at ease. "Now..."

"It's okay, let's go in first." Xiuer patted her shoulder according to the voice, it was soft and elastic, it seemed that the pat was in the wrong place, and the angle and direction seemed not right, no wonder the female swordsman was silent, Forget it, it doesn't matter, well, it doesn't matter at all.

Gritting her teeth, Sappu followed the two with a blushing face, removed the cover and returned to the temporary camp. It was not until the entrance was re-sealed that the three of them released their invisibility.

It was very peaceful in the temporary camp. Mia made a pot of tea, and everyone ate some canned food brought from the floating city with the tea. Delia did not eat these, but held the canned food brought from Pavadiga. The dried meat that came was eaten with gusto. The little guy, who has never eaten real meat since he was a child, has fallen in love with the dried meat that the Shadow Chasers have long been tired of eating. He feels that it is simply the most delicious thing in the world.

During this trip between Shuer and the two of them, everyone had finished their meal. Moria was diligently picking acorns from her hair, trying to seduce everyone to have a taste. Of course, no one, including Delia, Being fooled made the forest elf very disappointed. She took Shuuer and cried that these people discriminated against oak trees and were not friendly at all.

"How's it going?" Mia, who had been flipping through the magic book until the Lin Jing's habitual illness period ended, closed the book. "You guys came back earlier than expected." "It was basically smooth, but there was a little surprise in the end."

"What happened to the alarm just now?" The necromancer, who had taken off his shoes and was sitting on the ground, stretching his long legs, raised his eyelids, glanced at Xiure lazily, and asked with a somewhat mocking expression, "It's not like you two were stupid enough to trigger the alarm. Your flat chest was almost scared to death..."

"Bang", there was a dull explosion, and a small fireball was caught by Militty's outstretched palm in time, and was squeezed into the purest energy. But the next moment, the lazy necromancer suddenly jumped on the spot. Get up, because from where she was sitting, a blunt ice pick protruded out of nowhere, and the position was very subtle, um, indeed very subtle.

"Stop making trouble now." Shuer waved his hand and dispersed the isolation area that was set up in time. "Get the camp organized and everything restored to its original state. We are ready to move. We will tell you the specific situation while we are sorting it out."

It didn't take long to exchange information. Soon, Shuer recounted what he saw in the factory. After confirming that everyone understood, he said: "The alarm just now should be from the Protestants who worship the Mechanicus." Come on a pilgrimage, huh, it’s called a pilgrimage, but it’s actually about giving up your body and mechanizing yourself, becoming a member of the machine.”

"It seems that's the case. They are really open-minded. They will abandon the body as soon as they say it." Mia nodded, "But that is not important. What I am worried about now is how much the mechanical camp knows about us."

"We can't be sure, so just assume they know everything." Shuer said nonchalantly, "It's not surprising that there are undercover agents from the mechanical camp among the top human beings. They may even be high-level figures who worship the Mechanic Cult. I have already thought of it. We knew this possibility, so from the beginning, we had no intention of hiding it from the machine camp. The only surprise was that the information reached the machine side so quickly. It seems that our appearance did not shake the traitor's mind. Without even the slightest hesitation or wait-and-see, our news was betrayed."

"But it doesn't matter. They know we exist and it won't change any problems. Because of the subsequent actions, I ask everyone to remain invisible. Mia, can you do that?"

"If you keep casting spells, it's not impossible. My magic power reserve will last for another twenty hours or so. However, I guess you have to keep moving silently. Then chanting will be a problem, unless you can guarantee Every time I cast a spell, you can hold up the isolation field for me. Of course you can do it in Parvatiga, can you do it here?"

"Yes, the Isolation Domain is not a high-consuming magical technique, and it won't exhaust my spiritual power." Xiu Er patted the scripture in his pocket, "Even if the mental power is really tight in the end, I'm not afraid. There are emergency preparations.”

"That's fine." Mia shrugged and said expressionlessly, "Your request can be met half way, but if there is a place that relies on temperature to detect enemies, then I have nothing to do unless you can tell me in advance. "

"Let me ask Wei." Shuer murmured a few words in a low voice and breathed a sigh of relief, "Wei can help us detect the temperature-sensing equipment. Although it consumes more energy, she has the support of the eternal core, and her energy is sufficient. "

"It's so convenient." Mia glanced at Xiuer's backpack, and there was a hint of envy in her cold eyes, "It would be great if there was such an assistant in the experiment."

"Don't even think about it. Wei is already a new member of our Dark Moon Temple, and she is Lady Luna's 11th servant." Shuer covered his backpack and stared at Mia warily, "Don't try to abduct her. Go, otherwise you will be my lord’s mortal enemy!”

"Save some face for your Lady Luna." Even Militia couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes several times.

"Ahem, don't say anything unnecessary." After coughing a few times to relieve the embarrassment, Shuer said with a straight face and pretended to be serious, "Moria, you and Mia will cooperate in a while to shoot the Mage's Eye into the sky. Remember to keep the arrows hidden. Mia, pay attention to the direction of the floating city and find the location of the mechanical cultists. It should not be difficult to find. I see that the mechanical beasts are setting up defenses under the floating city. Following their movement trajectory, it should be You’ll find out soon enough.”

"no problem."

"After we found it, all of us remained invisible and moved towards their only path. When they passed by, we followed them and let them take us into the Tower of Babel. Tsk tsk, I'm a little curious, this The believers in the world, what method do they use to worship a god in the mortal world."

"Remember, once you catch up with them, move around in silence throughout the city. If you have anything to do, use contact to communicate. Do you have any questions?"

"No."

"Then get started."
