Mechanical Doctor

…

“Finally we’ve reached the capital.”

Looking at the bustling city in the distance, Manolin couldn’t help but sigh:

“It’s not easy along the way.”

As they got closer to the capital, the waterway became busier, and the speed of the [Pterosaur] became slower. He had no choice but to take the land route instead.

Fortunately, the mechanical tentacles of the new floating fortress had been installed, and there was no problem with the “land boat”, otherwise Manolin would not have been able to choose to take the land route.

Due to the large amount of various materials obtained from the ruins, the construction speed of the new floating fortress was greatly accelerated.

It must be said that the magic constructs made by the sea giants, although their combat effectiveness was not good, the materials used were very good.

Since leaving the ruins, Manolin’s main job has been to use his abilities to decompose these magic constructs.

These decomposed materials are like nutrients that “nourish” the new floating fortress, allowing it to “thrive”.

...

Due to the huge size of the [Pterosaur] and the new floating fortress, Manolin and his party were stopped by the army stationed near the capital when they were still far away from the capital.

Facing the [Pterosaur] and the new floating fortress, two huge monsters that moved with mechanical tentacles, even the well-trained Guards Corps was trembling with fear.

If they had not known in advance that the owners of these two monsters were not enemies, they would not have had the courage to stand in front of these monsters and block their steps.

However, this is normal. The mechanical wonder of the floating fortress is terrifying enough when it is floating in the water, not to mention the land form using mechanical tentacles.

As the head of this Guards Corps, Moore did not scold these soldiers who were trembling with fear, because he was not much better.

Although he has the strength of the peak of level nine, he is also full of fear in his heart when facing the two floating fortresses that are gradually approaching.

Because he knew very well that the strength of the ninth peak was not much different from that of ordinary people in front of the floating fortress.

But it was obvious that the fear and worry of these soldiers of the Guards Corps were unnecessary.

The purpose of Manolin's trip was to cure diseases and save lives, to upgrade his level and gain medical reputation. He did not have the idea of ​​"changing the world", at least not this time.

He knew his own strength. It was no problem to deal with a single half-legend, but if he really offended the public and caused a siege, he would not be reliable.

So before he really had the strength to overturn the table, he still needed to abide by the rules set by the current ruling class.

After Manolin parked the [Pterosaur] and the new floating fortress in an open space more than ten kilometers away from the suburbs of the capital, they drove into the capital.

"It should be said that it is worthy of being the capital of the Elliot Federation. It is really prosperous!"

Cosimo, who was driving, said as he looked at the traffic coming and going on the street and the dazzling shops on both sides of the road.

Manolin, who was also looking out the window, nodded in agreement.

The tall buildings and busy vehicles in the city gave him the illusion of returning to his previous life.

Of course, this was his thought after he ignored the strange shapes of the vehicles on the street.

Since cars in this world have not been developed for many years, the appearance of the vehicles is strange and there is no uniformity.

Some of them are just horse-drawn carriages with steam engines, with small front wheels and large rear wheels similar to tractors. Manolin was very interested in watching all kinds of vehicles.

Of course, there are also some vehicles that show off their wealth, such as gold-plated bodies, gemstones as handles, and diamonds inlaid on the wheels. There are quite a few vehicles with such operations.

...

Soon the convoy arrived at the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau and the General Administration.

Manolin did not come to the city to play this time, but to inquire about some news and collect some intelligence.

After all, he had no roots in the capital. If he didn't know anything and made any rash moves, he might fall into the trap of the people in the lower parliament and fall into a passive position.

He planned to find a well-informed person to inquire about the latest information of the city.

Manolin naturally didn't have the ability to get information in such a place where he had no relatives or friends.

But he didn't have this ability, but his people did.

For example, wild [mechanics] like Wilfred usually had some contact with those black market merchants in order to obtain materials.

Similarly, Cosimo, the head of the circus who had traveled all over the country, also knew some of the tricks here.

So Manolin simply sent these two people to the black market in this city to buy some information.

The rest of the people were to purchase some of the materials needed on the [Pterosaur]Supplies.

So when the vehicle stopped in the commercial district of the city, everyone started to complete their goals separately.

In order to prevent accidents, Manolin prepared several security guards for each purchasing team.

With this lineup, even if they encounter high-level professionals, they can delay time to wait for rescue.

It's a pity that the big spider cannot be brought in, otherwise high-level professionals are not opponents of the mechanical army.

...

"Sir, are you from another place? Do you need a guide service?"

After Manolin got off the car with Benjamin and others, they were stopped by a child with very worn clothes but very clean clothes.

There are no smartphones or satellite navigation in this world.

It is quite troublesome for a person to enter a strange city and want to find the place he wants to go.

Where there is demand, there is naturally a market, and this kind of guide naturally came into being.

Generally speaking, this kind of guide work is a part-time job for children from poor families.

Manolin has long been accustomed to this.

He took out his wallet from his pocket, found some change and gave it to the child, and said:

"Do you know where in this city there is a place that sells magic materials? Take us there."

The child who took the change said happily:

"No problem, sir. The headquarters of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce that sells magic materials is not far ahead. Please follow me."

After that, the child led everyone to a direction in the commercial district.

"The Sapphire Chamber of Commerce is a multinational chamber of commerce with a very long history. It has a good reputation. At least there are no rumors of black-eating-black.

Their main business is to purchase various magic materials from all over the world and sell them..."

While walking, the child introduced some basic information about the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce to Manolin.

This professionalism made Manolin feel that the money was not wasted.

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone saw a skyscraper with the sign of the Elliot Federal Branch of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce.

"Gentlemen, this is the headquarters of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce."
