Chapter 425 The mechanical nerd arrives
When the cold wind in the polar region blew towards him, Edward realized that he was very close to the city of Audule. Once upon a time he felt like he was about to return home. +◆ Compared to wandering outside, people always felt a strange sense of security in Audule. There was no need to be afraid that the undead would suddenly run out, and no demons could enter the city, let alone ordinary humans. Even if they had to cross the fog forest supported by a natural barrier by a blizzard, it was a difficult test.
After arriving at the Fortress of Bailika, Prince Rodland, who was sent by King Rodland of Saxony to handle the transactions in the city of Auduel, personally brought people to greet Edward and Gret.
In addition to escorting Edward back to Odur, Gret also went to the Fortress of Belika to meet Prince Rost. Recently, the royal family's transaction with the ancient gods of the Janod Mountains reached a most important node. Tens of thousands of slaves from the Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce were transported to the Kingdom of Saxony. On the surface, the Kingdom of Saxony purchased these slaves in order to increase labor. At the same time, in order to avoid the negative impact of the slave trade on the two major religious organizations of the Holy Capital and the Holy See, the Kingdom of Saxony notified both sides that they would liberate these slaves into free people. For this reason, the news must be kept from leaking during the transportation process, otherwise this would be a very big scandal for the Kingdom of Saxony, and it may also expose the cooperation with the ancient god Yalin to bring great disaster to the country.
In order to prevent something from happening, the old king specially sent Gret, the court wizard, to the Bailika Fortress, to be responsible for this matter with Prince Roster.
"Don't you take a break? Mr. Edward. It's already late, you can set out early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your kindness~ I'm just in a hurry now, it will take a moment to reach the Yanord Mountains using the portal."
In front of the huge portal, Grett asked Edward to take a break for a night and set off tomorrow, but Edward, who was worried about Al's body, insisted on setting off now regardless of the fatigue caused by the trip.
Watching the liaison officer use a communication magic weapon to contact the Yanord Mountains thousands of miles away, letting the other party activate the portal. Gret couldn't help but look at the great building, which was accompanied by the Bailika Fortress and the Yanord Mountains, with a look of great appreciation. This large-scale portal is simply the best tool for transporting personnel and goods. If such a large portal can be built in various territories of the Kingdom of Saxony, it will be like closely linking the entire Kingdom of Saxony. In addition to the economic prosperity brought by the rapid trade, the royal family's control over the country can be further consolidated. However, until now, because he dared not dismantle the portal without authorization for detailed research, it is impossible to crack the operating principle of the magic circle on the portal by external observation alone, and the Kingdom of Saxony cannot master this advanced technology.
This god has mastered too many powerful powers and technologies, and any of them can greatly improve the national strength of the Saxony Kingdom. If you want to obtain these technologies, it seems that you still have to increase your cooperation with the ancient gods. However, the Saxony Kingdom can really take out too few bargaining chips that will make the ancient gods tempted.
Ancient words began to appear on the stone pillars on both sides of the portal, and the light spots began to gradually increase and condense to form a light curtain. With Al's blood mark fragments, Edward finally turned around and looked at Gret and the Fortress Belika behind him, waved his hand and signaled goodbye to Edward stepped into the portal.
What does teleport feel like?
Although this is not the first time I have used the portal and teleportation array. But Edward still feels that the feeling of the body as if it was broken into countless particles when entering the portal is too familiar. Yes! Just like in the basement of the home, the feeling of using the human body to open the door of truth and being swallowed instantly was exactly the same.
It's such an annoying feeling!
It was under this disgusting feeling that Edward crossed tens of thousands of miles in an instant. When his consciousness completely recovered, the scenery around him had suddenly changed. There were many goods being prepared for transportation on the huge and wide square. Two elf maids were already waiting in front of the portal. The temperature in his hand also made Edward feel as if he had stepped from the cold winter to the comfortable spring!
"Welcome to you back, Mr. Edward, please come with us~ His Majesty Yalin is waiting for you in the study."
"Finally back~"
Edward looked at the familiar buildings and elves around him and breathed a sigh of relief. He took off his already unnecessary cold windbreaker and handed it to the elf maid beside him and walked towards the study.
Because Yalin has been busy again recently, and sometimes people like Shunazel, Feli, Yuehai and others often come to visit him. Yalin simply added a small portal near the study to connect the entire city of Odur to the visitor. Edward was sent directly to Yalin by a small portal after walking a few steps. Even Xiaodouzi, who lived in the industrial period of the original steelmaking world, had to admit that there are still many technologies worthy of praise in the other world, such as this time-saving portal is one of them.
"Disturbate you, Lord Yalin!" After entering the room, Edward still used the title of "Your Excellency", but before he could see Arlin, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Edward!
Huh!?
Edward was stunned and looked at the flying thing in a daze. A very familiar large movable wrench! Then a burst of pain accompanied by a strong dizziness made Edward almost messy in the wind. When he returned, he threw the wrench without hesitation and aimed at his forehead without hesitation. There was only one person who could do such a crazy move.
"It hurts so much~Wen Li!!! Why are you here!!"
Edward covered his bleeding forehead and looked like a ghost, looking at the blonde girl in front of him. The girl wearing technician's work clothes always exuded a familiar smell of motor oil was indeed her childhood sweetheart and full-time maintenance teacher of mechanical armor - Wen Li Rockbell!!
"Why is Sister Wen Li also coming to this world?" Alphonsi also muttered in Edward's arms.
Wen Li strode the blonde behind her and smiled condescendingly in front of Edward, saying, "You can even come to this strange world, can't I come?"
"As soon as we met, you hit me with a wrench again!! Didn't I tell you before? Don't do such a dangerous thing, what if I get hit to death?"
Wen Li stuck out her tongue and looked at Edward playfully: "Don't you still look lively? I haven't seen Edward for a long time~"
Looking at Wen Li's smiling face, Edward's anger dissipated in an instant, but Edward wanted to cry at this moment. It was really great to see a familiar relative and the people who care about him on weekdays: "Long time no see┉┉I miss you very much~Wen Li."
The long separation made the three children chatter. Yalin, who was standing by, didn't mind being ignored. It was quite interesting to watch the "young couple" quarrel. However, Yalin really admired Edward's vitality. He was hit on the forehead accurately by a large movable wrench in the fastest acceleration state. He suffered such tons of damage and was just a swollen bag. If it were an ordinary person who had not had a concussion, he might have died suddenly on the spot. I don't know if Edward had already practiced the iron-headed skills under Wen Li's "training", or if Wen Li had already mastered the advanced "weapon throwing" skills.
However, the warmth of the two did not last long┉┉ because Wen Li began to ask an important question.
"Okay~ Edward! Take the damaged mechanical armor to show me."
Um~ Xiaodouzi's face froze like a cramp in an instant. Under Wen Li's creepy smile, Edward stammered and said, "That ┉┉ a little worn out in the battle ┉┉┉ so please don't ┉┉”
"I know, I know, Your Excellency Yalin has told me the situation, but the degree of damage I heard should be completely damaged."
With Edward showing a 'you cheated me' expression at Yalin, Wen Li continued to smile and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I won't be angry. After all, you and Al are also fighting hard this time. They actually broke into the cultist gathering to save people, so I will forgive you for breaking the mechanical armor this time."
"Really!?" Edward looked at Wen Li with joy.
The girl nodded and urged, "Really~ I'll forgive you this time. Come and take the broken mechanical armor for me to check it out. Judging from the condition of your right hand, you can't even get the mechanical armor. I guess it's very damaged and I don't know if it can be repaired."
Edward sat on the ground and scratched his head. After a long time, he said apologetically: "Actually, it has been completely broken into pieces, so I didn't get it back."
“Nani?(What?)”
Wen Li stared at Xiao Douzi with a terrifying look. Edward immediately explained everything. The mechanical armor was wiped by the devil's black lightning and began to rust and disintegrate quickly. After returning to the ground, the mechanical armor had completely become a pile of broken rust iron fragments. Seeing that the mechanical armor had become like this, it was like garbage. Edward had no mood or time to collect the fragments of the mechanical armor and began to run away with Tia.
"So I didn't bring back any parts┉┉┉” Edward, who had already kneeled on the ground, spoke less and less, and even his body seemed to be shrinking sharply.
"You big fool!! That's a treasure I've made with all my efforts!!"
Wen Li's roar and the sound of breaking through the air with the wrench sounded at the same time, followed by Edward's screams echoed in the room!
