Chapter 48: Blue jade
Chapter 48 Blue Jade
"There is one hour left."
Shrike sat in a chair and looked at the time on his pocket watch, with a serious expression.
This is an abandoned platform outside the old Dunling, but it has become a temporary base under the construction of the past few days.
According to the plan, Shrike will take a train to a small town called Ende. According to Lancelot’s intelligence, the mysterious sacred coffin is stored there, and he will conquer it no matter what is there... At least it will last until Lancelot arrives and recover the sacred coffin.
In order not to stun the snakes, the operation was divided into two operations. Shrike and a large number of armed forces waited here in advance, and the Guanghui train would arrive in an hour.
Originally, the Shrike was going to go directly, but now that Galahad is down and without the knight commander, their chances of winning are a bit unstable. For this, the Pump of Perpetual Motion mobilized a secret weapon to them, and The Shining train is carrying the thing.
"Are you ready?"
Looking at her side, the huge machine was silent in the darkness, and the huge steel outlines a hideous appearance, only the lingering light sliding on it.
It was a heavy crane. In the darkness behind it were sections of reinforced heavy armored carriages. According to the plan, the Radiance carried the weapon from the Burhans Arsenal and finally stopped here. This heavy crane There is an opportunity to change the carriage, the passengers continue their journey, and the carriage with weapons will be connected here, and then go directly to the mysterious Ende Town.
Slowly stood up, because the Shrike’s injury was not complete because of time constraints, he tried to walk two steps, and it felt good, but the noise was a bit loud.
At this moment, his lower body is covered with a transmission structure, the power rod is connected to the joints of the legs, and then the copper pipe extends to the small steam bag at the waist, and a faint mist will be released from it every time.
This is a masterpiece from the pump of perpetual motion. They call this exoskeleton armor, but it cannot be used in actual combat due to technical problems. It is like a useless vase, but it still helps a person with walking difficulties run up. Not a problem.
Looking down at the bright metal, the precision gears rotate under it, interlocking with each other, and the structure is exquisite beyond imagination.
To be honest, the mechanics of Shrike are barely reluctant, but even so, he still sees the precision of the mechanism, but let alone clarify the principle, he doesn't even know where the power of the mechanism comes from, if not the thighs. The pipes on both sides spewed steam from time to time, and the shrike really thought that things had reached the so-called perpetual motion.
So sometimes I really want to cut the brains of those madmen and see what the structure is.
"What's the current situation?"
Looking at the blue jade that came in on the other side, Shrike asked.
"The equipment is complete, and the soldiers are ready. After meeting with the Kestrel, our firepower can even win a local war."
Lan Jade wears a black tights with a domed iron helmet. There are lights on it, but because indoors, the lights have been turned off, and there is a warm cloak outside. The cloak looks light and fluttering, but in fact the clothes are inside. Lined with high-strength lightweight metal mesh, it will play a protective role when encountering severe impacts.
"Those in the Academy of Mechanical Engineering are like this. The Perpetual Pump pursues more taboo technology, while they pursue deadly firepower. Each mission will eventually evolve into a weapon test by these two scientific research institutions."
Shrike feels very uncomfortable when he thinks of this place. Every time most of the weapons in his hand are experimental objects. Before the end, you never know whether this weapon will kill the enemy first or explode in your hands... Just like that **** it. Armor of Original Sin.
"So what did they add?"
"I don't know, but the object should be special. After all, it was shipped directly from the Burhans Arms Factory."
Blue Jade has been fortunate to be there, and for her, just mentioning her name makes her feel hot
The Burhans Arms Factory, the largest military center in Inervig, during the Glorious War, where as much metal as a hill melted every day, hundreds of trains carried the deadly weapon out of it. It is said that the steam there The scale of the furnace is second only to the Institute of Machinery, and it can be regarded as the industrial center of Inervig.
Shrike pondered, then took out a piece of paper and began to write.
"What are you writing? A will?"
"That's right. The place we are going to is very dangerous. Maybe we will die in it. My position is still so special. I have to hand over work."
"You really love work."
Blue Jade raised her eyebrows. Unlike the dedicated Shrike, she was reluctant in every way at first for this job.
Lan Jade was born in a seaside town. His father died early. After his mother remarried, his stepfather was also a drunk. In exchange for a lottery gift that can be used for old-age care.
It’s not a good memory to tell the truth. It’s even a breakdown. The drunk stepfather looked at the growing blue jade with a different look. In order to escape this **** fate, the blue jade hid one day. In the van, she doesn't know where it will take herself, but she just hopes to stay away from this nightmare place as far as possible.
She lived for several days on the bread that she brought before she got into the car and the condensation water on the copper pipe. When the car door opened again, she was in that dreamy city, which is here for the blue jade who lives in a remote town. Everything is so magical, like a place in the legend.
Huge airships cruising in the sky, steam trams and cars speeding on a flat road, compared with this perfect city, she is so dirty that she is so out of place, she raised her head and looked at the stop sign on the station, using My poor knowledge barely understood the text above.
Welcome to Old Dunling.
"But if I can, I still hope to survive. After all, I am still young and I can plan for my retirement very well."
Shrike said as he wrote, there is still a while before the Glory arrives, and he can still chat for a while.
"for example?"
"For example, buying a small island in the ocean and living against the sunrise and sunset, or chartering a boat to travel the world...or going to the east, I am still curious about that mysterious country."
That is the country called Nine Summers. Since its amazing appearance more than ten years ago, it seems to have been forgotten by the world. If no one deliberately mentions it, almost no one remembers that there is such a mysterious country in the East. .
"If it weren't for monsters, I might have become a navigator. What about you, Lan Jade, I remember that you have been trying to get Arthur to fire you in a passive manner. You seem to dislike this job very much."
Lan Jade gave the shrike a white look, and sat beside him with heavy equipment. She didn't wear a mask, but the iron helmet of the dome also covered most of her face, but she could still be seen from the exposed corner despite this. That amazing beauty.
"Yes, fight with those twisting and hateful things every day, and only your kind of crazy will like it!"
Blue Jade cursed.
"I have only one wish, to find a rich man, then marry him, and try to find a way to kill him within five years, and then live happily with the money."
Men are unreliable, as can be seen from her father who died young, **** stepfather, and those former guests Lan Jade.
Blue Jade has been in the old town for many years, and her appearance has become more and more charming as she ages. Someone discovered her and made her an actress in the theater.
Many people don't care about this new girl, they just think she is lucky to have a good skin, but then the girl's behavior is beyond everyone's imagination.
This is a purpose-driven girl. Her status in the theater rises step by step. With the skill of working in the old town for many years, all enemies who tried to stop her have been eliminated. Her reputation is getting more and more popular. Every day, the door will be destroyed. Covered with flowers of admirers.
But this is not the end of Blue Emerald. No one is reliable. Only herself is reliable. She began to participate in the dance party, drunk those with power one by one, stealing scandals and in exchange for wealth.
Like a snowball, Blue Jade’s power grew stronger and stronger. Under the threat of the scandal, even the aristocratic aristocrats became her chess pieces. They called it the queen of the underground, until one day she tried to get drunk with a code named Arthur's people.
There are only two roads in front of Lan Jade. To die in prison, or to join the cleansing mechanism, Arthur needs a skilled female knight.
So Blue Jade entered the thieves’ den, and it has been till now.
"Sounds really scary, how come men are so unreliable?"
"Do you think Galahad is reliable?" Lan Jade looked disdainful, "Pure knight, the youngest knight commander, and then he almost killed you and Robin. If it weren't for Nicholas, he would lose his power completely. Before, he could kill the Xiacheng district."
"So only you are reliable, Shrike."
Blue Jade said, and at this moment the melodious siren sounded, the headlights of the train at the end of the darkness were like an approaching meteor, carrying water vapor and cold wind, and the thousands of horses in the carriage.
insomnia, one day of class, the update was kicked out first
