A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 74: Huonu
In an instant, the sense of direction completely disappeared.
I felt a force squeezing and pulling him...
He tried to grab something, but couldn't touch anything.
There is nothingness all around.
Suddenly, gravity returned.
My feet stepped on solid ground, and I was a little unsteady for a moment. I leaned forward and staggered a few steps, but finally managed to stabilize my body.
He saw that the soles of his feet were green grass, and a delicate four-petaled wild flower bloomed at his feet, swaying slightly, as if he could blow off its stem with one breath.
"Self-pollinating flowers generally do not shed nectar."
Hua Mi raised her head.
The magnificent scene took his breath away.
The ancient lost city is right in front of you.
The first thing that caught his eye was not the majestic and magnificent buildings.
It is the never-ending dark gray storm vortex above the city.
He had seen a simulation animation of a Jupiter storm on the Internet. The spectacular scene left a deep impression on him, but it was nothing compared to the crazy scene in front of him.
The storms on Jupiter are orderly in chaos and must follow the laws of nature.
The scene in front of me gave people the impression of absolute chaos and no order at all.
Staring for too long will give you a feeling of inner fear.
A transparent sky enveloped the City of Brass. The storm collided with the sky, continuously emitting brilliant firelight, accompanied by a dull thunderous sound, one waxing and waning, illuminating this lonely city, all the time Like day.
Without that dome-shaped shield, this place would have been swallowed up by chaos long ago.
The buildings here are very tall, with sharp edges and corners, and they are towering and upright. The buildings are connected by air passages and criss-cross. From the ground, it is dazzling.
Under the light of the sky fire, the building shone like gold.
"This is not a building, it is simply a work of art..."
Hua Mi, a person who is not interested in architecture, can feel the ingenuity of this city.
The place where he is seems to be a square.
In the middle of the square, there is a statue.
About three feet tall, holding a large sword, made entirely of brass. It is said to be a human statue, but it is more like a set of connected plate armor, with raging fire burning inside, spraying out from the wrists, joints, helmet and other parts.
Everything shows that there is civilization here.
Ales was not far in front of him, looking up at the magnificent building in front of him, looking like a small ant in front of a skyscraper in comparison.
Hua Mi walked to her side.
"Sorry to interrupt your view, but I noticed that there seems to be one person missing. Where did Uno go?"
"..."
Ales suddenly came back to his senses, looked around, and then fell into deep thought with his chin raised.
It took you a long time to find out.
"Maybe he teleported to another place, it's possible."
It's not a good sign if something unexpected happens at the beginning.
Hua Mi had a bad premonition about this journey.
"Let me ask one more question, is your trust in Uno based on him or the Abyss Research Association behind him?"
"Both."
Ales still had a calm expression: "Don't worry, he is not a problem, we can just follow the plan."
Hua Mi was about to say something.
Suddenly, there was a crisp metallic collision sound from the sky.
Looking up, they saw several mechanical flying objects flying down towards them.
Hua Mi then realized that the light spots flying high in the sky were not optical illusions, but these little guys.
These metal flying objects are small in size and come in different shapes. Some surfaces are shiny, while others are rusty or even damaged.
Of the ones flying towards them, one of them was in the shape of a ball, with slender metal hands and feet connected to the ball, and a rotor on the top; the other was in the shape of a shield, also connected to slender stick-like hands and feet; and still others were Polyhedrons put together...
They all held small weapons in their hands, including swords and spears——
Swooped down and surrounded them.
"What is this? It can't be a fire slave."
It seems to have nothing to do with fire.
"This is a modron, a tool created by the fire slaves, similar to our activated armor... Those few are the fire slaves."
Even Alais, who was calm and collected, could not help but feel a little trembling in his voice at this time.
Hua Mi looked in the direction she indicated.
At first glance, they thought they were three sets of children's-style armor running towards them.
With that size, Alais could look down on them.
Their bodies are made entirely of metal, but it seems to be a different metal.
The one at the head is shinier and looks new.
The body color of the two following them was much darker, and there were faint signs of rust on the chest of one of them.
Every metal body is burning with flames, leaking out from every hole and joint.
They held metal weapons in their hands. The leader held a hammer, and his head made a sound similar to the resonance in a metal cavity.
You can hear some patterns from it, it's not meaningless roars, it should be their language.
But Hua Mi didn’t understand.
Ales stepped forward and raised his hand to hold his chest: "%#@*&Ales, *@#&@..."
It was very difficult to speak.
Her body is not made of metal, so of course she cannot make sounds like Huonu.
But try to imitate their pronunciation rules.
"I will learn more languages when I have time." Hua Mi thought to herself.
Let’s start with Elvish.
Alais stumbled and finished speaking.
The three fire slaves looked at each other, exchanged a few words with each other, put away their weapons, and suddenly started dancing with one foot on the left and right, like some kind of primitive tribal dance, shouting while dancing.
Sometimes when the enemy sings and dances in front of you, it may not necessarily be to welcome you, but it may also be to shake people up.
Hua Mi was secretly vigilant.
Alais breathed a sigh of relief and translated: "They said they welcome elves and humans as guests."
It seems that the elves and humans have a good reputation here.
"You even understand the Huonu language."
"Some understanding."
Ales exchanged a few words with Huo Nu and said in deep thought: "They said that they are currently at war, so they cannot entertain us thoughtfully. Please forgive me..."
It doesn’t matter whether you entertain or not.
They can go shopping on their own.
For such a big city, Alais must have done some research.
And his goal is relatively clear, first go to the Fire Temple in the central area and get some seeds.
But what about the war?
What kind of war can happen in this place?
"Is it the enemy left behind when the abyss invaded?"
"It's unlikely. Those abyssal species are purely tools of war. Without the control of the lord, they can't become a climate. Now that a thousand years have passed, the fire slaves should have cleaned them up long ago..."
Alais was also a little confused about this. He went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyua.com to think for a moment and then shook his head: "Let's not mention this for now. They invited us to see King Huo Nu."
……
The surrounding modrons scattered and flew high into the sky again.
Hua Mi and Alais followed the three fire slaves to meet their king.
On the way, Alais used a prop inlaid with crystals to continuously scan the buildings. It was probably something similar to a camera.
Hua Mi looked at the exquisite and small metal body of Huo Nu, and suddenly had a question. He leaned over and asked Alais quietly: "How do Huo Nu reproduce? Look closely, their bodies are entirely made of metal, and there is no Discovered reproductive structures ”
"Don't be limited by your human identity. It's too superficial to think about the problem this way." Alais explained, "Huonu is essentially a living flame, the essence of fire contained in the metal body. It is their true nature.
"When breeding, two fire slaves blend their own essence fires with each other, and when separated, a new living flame can be born. Then both parties use their own essence fire to create a new body, combining the young flame and After the fusion, a new Huo slave life was born.
“Most of the materials used to build the body are metals. The specific metal depends on the strength of the essence fire of both parties. The higher the strength, the more advanced the metal that can be melted and forged, and the more powerful the descendants of the fire slaves are. . As for the lowest level fire slaves, the inner essence fire cannot even melt and forge any metal, so they can only use clay..."
"..."
Hua Mi was stunned for a while.
This is... so interesting.
You can also forge your body by forging your own iron.
Sounds much more interesting than the human reproduction process.
Soon, led by three fire slaves, they arrived at their destination.
