Artificer Adventure Guide

Carl's words made the old man's veins pop out. After holding back for a long time, he finally spoke:

"We just wanted to transform the Airbus business, so we thought about combining it with the construct to turn it into a kind of airdrop vehicle that can carry a certain number of soldiers and equip it with certain combat capabilities.

Well~, this appearance may indeed be a bit close to the Titan War Forged."

Having said that, Carl always felt that the old man was not telling the truth.

There are many forms that can be used as the transformation of Airbus. Why do you have to make it into the appearance of the Titan War Forged?

If you say there is no reason for this, Carl doesn't believe it.

After exchanging glances with Nia, Carl did not expose the other party, but the two knew in their hearts that this investigation might not be as simple as they imagined.

At least the old man who was responsible for guarding the abandoned factory didn't tell much truth.

But this should have been expected when they came. How could someone specifically watch an abandoned factory with no problems?

"Let's talk about business first. Why was this factory abandoned?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit bad, Nia, as the main person responsible for this matter, took the lead in stepping out to smooth things over.

Thanks to helping Carl run the workshop these days, Nia has become much more "talkative" when facing strangers.

When this was mentioned, the old man suddenly became melancholy.

"Alas~, just like what this kid said just now, it was because of the problem of privately studying Titan war figurines. The Jinquan Society bribed officials, so that this matter has not been judged for a long time.

Without a clear judgment, this factory can neither be resold nor started, and the workers in the factory have been laid off, and it has been left until now."

Carl couldn't help but be a little confused by the old man's words. The other party just said something like "even if it is changed to a septic tank, it's okay", why is he saying this now?

Seeing the old man's current appearance, Carl just thought it was just his angry words, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Nia chatted with the old man for a few more words, and then left in a hurry with Carl and others.

"There's something wrong with this guy!"

Back in the car, V had just driven the commercial vehicle out of the factory when Lisanna couldn't help 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?"

"Knowing that the things he made caused the Andel officials to close the factory, he just put the things in the workshop? Is this person sick?

If I made a mistake, I would definitely get rid of the thing as soon as possible. How could it be left there?"

When talking about covering up her own criminal facts, Lisanna looked very experienced.

After Lisanna finished speaking, Ying also interrupted and said: "That person 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 War Forged."

After listening to Ying's words, Carl nodded.

"V, go to the ruins of the Shadow Monastery."

This Shadow Monastery is the ruins of the monk monastery that Ying wants to go to. It is said that this is the former address of the Shadow Sect of the monk school.

The monks of Shadow Sect are similar to ninjas. With excellent endurance and recovery, as well as superb concealment skills and persistence in certain beliefs, they quickly stood out from the other schools of monks and became the first choice for Andel nobles to raise Deadpool.

Today, the most complete Shadow Sect training methods are all in the hands of Andel nobles.

If the old Andel nobles don't have a few such ninjas in their homes, other colleagues will laugh at him.

Ying asked about this kind of place, probably to obtain the training methods of Shadow Sect monks.

Soon, the car arrived at the ruins of the monastery under the control of V.

This place is far away from the city, almost in the wilderness.

The broken stone wall reveals a sense of vicissitudes, and the mottled murals can no longer see the specific content.

"Are you sure you can find what you want here?"

After all, they are companions who have lived together for a long time, and Carl couldn't help but care.

"Just try your luck, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After that, Ying stepped out of the car and walked behind the stone wall of the monastery ruins.

...

"What? Carl took Nia and Lisanna, and the drow clerk in his store, out for a trip?"

At the entrance of the voodoo workshop, Mooreban, who had made a breakthrough in the experiment, heard the people from the next door talking about the whereabouts of Carl and others, and was panicked for a moment.

Although he is a strange machine master, he is actually quite superstitious.

Especially after Carl encountered those incidents, Mooreban didn't want his apprentice to go to those strange places without permission.

Although he had accepted apprentices before, there was only one who made him feel comfortable like Carl.

What's more, Carl could always help his experiments.

Just as he was about to leave for Tonglu City, Mooreban suddenly remembered that there were still things he needed to deal with at the Strange Machine Tower.

After weighing it, Mooreban decided to trust his apprentice's luck.

So, he returned to the Strange Machine Tower.

But he was not completely relieved about this matter, so he called No. 1 and Mitris.

"There's something I need you to help me with."

At this point, Mitris had roughly returned to her human form.

Her head and limbs are now processed with the bionic material that Carl discovered.

It's just that Mooreben deliberately changed her appearance.

"You are willing to let me go out? Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

Looking at Mooreben with interest, Mitris said this deliberately.

Of course, she couldn't just run away. Her body still had many defects, and her druid profession was almost scrapped. At least she would not consider escaping until she found a suitable part-time job.

Recently, she did try the knowledge of the School of Necromancer, but it turned out that Akanix was not so easy to pass. She couldn't even do a part-time job as a level 1 mage.

And the priest and paladin professions also rejected her.

Because she didn't have much faith.

If you have to say what she believes in, it's probably the son of winter's theory of life and death cycle and the law of the jungle.

But this obviously can't make her a priest or a paladin.

All her current strength comes entirely from the prosthesis that Mooreben 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 a slight thought, those prostheses will be peeled off from her body.

It is impossible for Mitress to accept herself like this.

"You can try to leave, but I can't guarantee that you can survive independently for too long."

With such a sentence, Moorban threatened Mitress implicitly, and just looked at her and waited for her answer.

"Okay, I will go over there, and will this big dog come with me?"

Pointing to No. 1 next to him, Mitress asked unwillingly.

Nodding, Moorban made way, indicating that the man and the dog could leave.

"There is a teleportation array inside the academy that goes directly to Tonglu City. I can make the decision to let you teleport directly there. Remember, let Carl come back as soon as possible."

After that, Moorban opened the use of the teleportation array for Mitress.

Under the leadership of No. 1, Mitress soon arrived at Tonglu City.

Outside the teleportation array, noisy people came and went.

Most of them came to discuss business with the Tongxing Dragon Pattern Family.

Mitris only stood in front of the magic circle for a moment before being pushed aside by several merchants.

"Don't block the way!"

After saying that, the merchant walked into the teleportation magic circle and disappeared.

"Let's go, find our Master Karl!"

With an unfounded resentment, Mitris 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 Mooreban had not told them where Karl had gone.

What's worse, Mooreban forgot to give them money.

"Tsk! This old guy is really unreliable!"

Subconsciously, Mitris directly said bad things about Mooreban.

No. 1 on the side opened his mouth, but in the end didn't say much.

"Since Karl is bringing people to travel, why don't we go to the tourist attractions to wait for them first? This guy really remembers to eat but not to be beaten. 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 continued to remain silent, just walking towards the south city gate.

It was connected to Mooreban's memory, and knew that Carl came in a black horseless carriage.

The guards of Tonglu City might know where Carl went.

However, at this moment, the people who were asking about Carl were not just the two of them.

Some merchants were also asking about the location of the black car.

However, unlike Mitris, they wanted a car more than a person.

It's not that Eberron doesn't have similar things. Mages and mechanics can even build constructs, so how could they not think of motor vehicles?

But the key is the cost.

The cost price of a carriage pulled by magic horses has been pushed to the lowest by the Passing Dragon Mark Family and the Livestock Dragon Mark Family.

Other merchants who want to enter this industry have basically been squeezed to bankruptcy.

And Sarn's airship is based on the same principle as the once popular Airbus and airship. They burn elemental power, and the cost price is there, which is destined to be something that ordinary people can't afford.

But Carl's car is different.

The merchants wearing the glasses of constant identification saw its "cheap nature" at a glance.

Except for the steel guard used for automatic driving, the whole car is almost entirely made 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 those things that are trying to be popularized.

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 the merchants suffer this loss?

But now, a person is driving such a cheap thing on the street openly.

Anyone who has a little ambition in the vehicle industry cannot ignore it.

At least you have to know the cost of the car.
