Deep Sea Embers Chapter 69: City Life

After examining all of the test items, Duncan gained a better understanding of Aye's transport capabilities and the nature of the items on the Lost Country.

Ai can transport several different items at one time, and these items include organic, inorganic, extraordinary and ordinary items. The type of items does not affect the stability of the transportation process, and the transportation process does not will affect the nature of the item itself;

Some of the things that are clearly "movable" on the Homeless are themselves "subunits" of a larger sense of control, such as shells, which are subunits of the ammunition system, and these subunits leave the Homeless after they leave the homeland. It will lose its active nature and become an ordinary thing;

Ai's transportation process doesn't seem to consume much of its "energy", whether it is the ritual dagger he carried at the beginning, or the current carrying a bunch of things at once, the bird is still alive and kicking after returning, of course it is possible The total amount of "goods" it has transported so far is too small, far from reaching its capacity bottleneck;

At present, only different types of items have been tested. It is not known whether there is a limit on "weight" or "volume" for Ai's transport capacity, which requires more testing.

Duncan summed up the currently known information one by one. After confirming that he had thought in place, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly leaned back on his chair.

He knows that the tests he has done so far are still very imperfect, and there are still many possible variables that have not been carefully considered. Even in terms of "types of test objects", the samples he has selected are too few and insufficient. to accumulate valid data.

In the future, he will at least choose more types of items, and at the same time use different item weights and item volumes to test Ai's transport upper limit and the stability of multiple transports. Only enough control samples are obtained. The test data is reliable enough.

He's cautious about this, and that's not without reason - because he has a very bold plan...or idea.

Since Aye can transport items between the land and the Homeless without any restrictions on the types of items, can it be sent to people?

If it can send people, can it send people who are not very human? Like...Alice?

Duncan knew that a person's ability is limited, and only relying on his ability to walk in the spirit world to act as the link between the Homeless and the land city-state will sooner or later encounter the problem of insufficient manpower and lack of consideration. At this time It would be much better if there was help.

The teleportation ability exhibited by Pigeon Aye gave him a good idea.

Of course, Alice is not a very good helper. Although this "abnormal 099", who has an upper-level number, is elegant and mysterious when he is quiet, but as long as he is active, he will immediately reveal his troubles. The essence of waste, but at present Duncan really has no other candidate.

Duncan sighed at the thought that the only available crew member was a piece of **** that could cook himself.

The position of Lost Homeland, which is a global enemy, really made him a big head. He estimated that it would be impossible for him to find allies from the human world. As soon as I open my eyes, I look forward to the end of the world. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I go to cut the gas pipeline, every Tuesday, 4th and 6th, I go to perform demon sacrifices.

That way, they can get along with Goat Head very quickly. They can work together to invade which city-state if they have nothing to do, but it is definitely not the help Duncan wants.

"...Well, Alice is at least honest and obedient," Duncan sighed and stood up, muttering to himself, "If you cultivate it well, you can grow up...probably."

Even if she can't be a helper, she should let the doll see the world in the human world. After all, she has been locked in a coffin for so many years, and she doesn't know what the outside world looks like.

After sorting out his thoughts, Duncan began to pack up the pile of things he brought with him-he will not return to Homeless for the time being. Many of these things cannot be carried with him, so they must be kept in the store.

There are not many places to hide things on the second floor of the antique store, and Nina will come to help clean up the room at any time. Some things that obviously don't look like everyday items in the room are especially suspicious (such as cannonballs from a century ago), But after a brief consideration, Duncan found a reasonable place for these things.

The sun talisman can be hidden close to the body, the salted fish can be put directly into the kitchen, it seems reasonable, the cannonball from a century ago and the sailor's dagger from a century ago would be easier-

Duncan took those two items directly to the storefront on the first floor, and put them in an inconspicuous corner next to the counter - this is an antique store anyway, and there are as many things as you like in the style of painting, throwing daggers and cannonballs It's better to throw it in the pile of ragged fakes on the first floor to hide...

As for the last thing, Duncan found a good place for the cheese from the kitchen of the Lost Country.

In the trash can.

After dealing with all this, Duncan clapped the dust on his hands that wasn't there, satisfied with his arrangement.

Then he glanced at the sky outside.

The "sun" that was blocked by the double runes was hanging high in the sky, and it was just noon now.

Nina will return home later today, before he plans to get out and about to learn more about the city.

Anyway, it looks like this antique shop doesn't have much business today.

The weather was a bit cold. Duncan put on a dark brown coat and took care of his messy and decadent hair before going out. The body looked a little more spiritual, and then left the antique shop.

As soon as he went out, the sound of flapping his wings came from the second floor. The pigeon Ai flew out of the room and landed on his shoulders, shaking his head proudly. The ground is pressing: "Go to Erxian Bridge and walk on Chenghua Avenue..."

Duncan squinted at this guy. He originally planned to let the pigeon watch the house on the second floor. After all, when he went out, he always looked too dazzling and weird with a pigeon on his body. Anyway, there was a spiritual fire between him and Ai. Connected, if you really encounter a situation, you can use the spirit flame to summon it to your side at any time, and you are not afraid of delaying things.

I just didn't expect that I forgot to explain it when I went out, and the bird "gets into the car" on its own.

Seeing Toriko's triumphant appearance, Duncan finally smiled helplessly and sighed: "...Forget it, just follow if you like."

He put on the pigeon like this and came to the main road opposite the antique store. After walking along the main road for a short distance, he heard a crisp bell sound mixed with the sound of the steam engine running from far away. It came close, and when I looked up, a double-decker bus with blue stripes painted on the bottom was coming along the main road and gradually stopped next to the station not far away.

It is a very common public transport in the city-state of Pland. It is driven by a steam engine and costs six pesos. It can reach more than half of the lower city. According to the route map attached to the back of the carriage, its route There are two more stops at the end that will pass on the edge of Uptown, a place called Cross Street.

Duncan had an impression of the "Cross Street" in his mind. He knew that the neighborhood and the surrounding area were regarded as the "junction" of the Perland city-state, where there were more prosperous businesses and more decent residences, many lower towns of residents regard Cross Street as their goal and dream to improve their living standards, and many middle-class citizens who cannot afford the high consumption of the upper city and want to live a decent life also live there - there are also cinemas, museums and several high-end restaurants. cafeteria.

Nina's school is near Cross Street, as is the museum she mentioned.

Duncan thought for a moment, walked quickly to the station, and got on the bus before the bus started.

There was no one in the car. More than half of the seats on the first floor were empty. Next to the driver's platform stood a conductor in a dark blue uniform. This young woman with shawl hair and simple makeup was seeing someone. After getting in the car, he first reached out to the ticket holder subconsciously, but then he noticed the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder.

"Sorry, no pets are allowed in the car, it's the rule," the young woman said, pointing to the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder, "including pigeons."

Duncan looked at Ay, who flapped her wings innocently and looked at him with her head tilted.

"Go and pick it up on the roof of the car."

"Cuckoo~IndoMTL.com~Cuckoo."

Ai flapped her wings and flew out of the car, scolding the street while flying.

The young lady conductor stared blankly at the man who was communicating with the pigeon in front of him, and the pigeon who seemed to understand human speech, and didn't say anything for a while.

"Is it alright now?" Duncan had to remind the conductor who seemed to be in a daze, and then raised his finger to point to the roof of the car, "You shouldn't be able to control the bird falling on the roof, right?"

Only then did the conductor react: "Ah... yes... the fare is six pesos, the pass."

Duncan reached into his pocket, took out two coins for a blue ticket, then found a window seat and sat down quietly, ready to enjoy his first ride in the world car trip.

The steam engine was activated. With the slight vibration and mechanical friction, the bell at the front of the car also rang crisply. Then the bus shook slightly, and the scenery outside the window receded.

Duncan leaned back comfortably in his chair, feeling the vibrations and accelerations of the mechanical engineering creature as it moved.

The steam engine is a good thing, a civilized society is a good thing, and technological progress is a good thing.

If there is a chance, he must give the Lost Homes a complete set - even if it is just a boiler that can heat hot water, in the future, the ship can also take a hot bath.

As soon as his thoughts spread, he felt the car suddenly shake, and the scenery outside the window slowly stopped.

The young conductor lady pushed open the window near the front of the car and shouted to the outside: "Are you in the car? There are seats! All are big!"

Duncan froze for a moment, then laughed.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that this city-state, which was still unfamiliar to him, suddenly became full of life.
