Chapter 1121: Steam council
In the course of more than two thousand years of continuous construction and development, the Twilight Capital has become a giant monster with a strange shape.
Its predecessor was originally a city-state in the hinterland of Midgard. At that time, the size of a city-state was quite limited, even though several city-states and their respective territories were connected, it was equivalent to today’s earth. The size of a giant city, a light barrier is enough to completely cover it. After the barrier rises, the survivors on this land can only build their homes under this sky, the land area is limited, so they can only let their cities develop towards the sky.
They first connected several city-states and developed as much as possible of every inch of wasteland between city-states. After filling the land, they put the city up one level, with some kind of lost on earth. It may be the technology left by Warner, and this way of construction can be realized.
The resources collected from the dark wilderness are constantly transformed into steel and adhesives, filling every inch of space under the twilight barrier little by little in two thousand years, and eventually forming a strange cone in the city. structure. Today, the city's upper city has almost reached the layer of energy shields that emit a yellowish glow. Standing on the highest platform in the upper city, you will feel the twilight barrier in the position where you can reach it. If you have enough arm strength and throw a small stone into the sky, you will see a ripple on the barrier.
The city has no more room to continue to develop.
In the depths of this deformed stack of nests, the ancient steam turbines and pressure piping systems are still running slowly, like the visceral organs of an ultimate behemoth, those that have been in existence for hundreds or even thousands of years. A turn will make this twilight capital a painful embarrassment. Sometimes, even the entire upper city will vibrate, but the residents of the city are accustomed to this ominous sign.
The steam locomotive slowly stopped at the station in Shangcheng District. After leaving the carriage, Hao Ren immediately felt a lot better: the steam locomotive used to transport workers and ore was definitely not comfortable, in fact, in order to operate in the dark wilderness, that Steel monsters are more sturdy and safer than human. The completely sealed compartment is not only boring, but also full of pungent oily smell. It is a torment for a long time.
Although the air quality outside the cabin is the same.
They are located close to the highest point of the city, but standing here, Hao Ren does not feel a little bit happy, the low light barrier above will only make people feel depressed. He looked to Wendel next to him: "Where are we going?"
"The light-seekers are headquartered in the lower city, near the temple of the Iron Throne, we have to go down the big shaft, but the big shaft is controlled by the steam council," Wendell explained patiently. "The shaft lift runs once an hour, ordinary citizens are Can be used, but you are a problem: you have no legal status. So the most likely situation is, we must first accept the steam council..."
Lily suddenly interrupted the old man's words: "Would you like the steam council?"
A team of uniformed uniforms boarded the machine platform. They looked proud and confident. The black-blue tight-fitting uniform was adorned with silver trim, and the chest was marked with a combination of gears and valves, except for the leader. In addition, these people are carrying a metal stick in their hands. The stick should be used for law enforcement, but it looks like some kind of elongated machine control lever.
After the team boarded the platform, they came straight to this side. Wendell suddenly gloomy after seeing them.
"It’s them, the sheriffs of the Steam Council," the voice of the old man was somewhat depressed. "And it was the last thing I saw..."
Hao Ren looked at the old man strangely, thinking that the opposition between the steam council and the light-seeker was more serious than imagined.
At this time, those "security officers" have come to the public. Standing at the forefront of the team is a middle-aged man with short black hair and serious face. He ignored Hao Ren and his party. He just nodded to Wendell and took the voice. Some kind of deliberate indifference and alienation: "Mr. Wendell, very 'happy' to see you return safely from the darkness."
Wendell bitterly said: "Yes, no matter if you are upset, I am back."
"I didn't see other light-seekers, then can you think that the result of this light-seeking journey is still the same," said the serious middle-aged man with a sharp eye. "Only you are alone and come back. The last light-seeking action has no intention." The field has completely failed."
When Wendell heard this sentence, his attitude changed suddenly. He stood up his neck and said: "No! This time is different! I found them!"
The middle-aged man seems to have been a little surprised by the hard-line attitude that Wendell suddenly showed. He curiously looked at Hao Ren and said: "These people?"
He received news that Wendell returned to the Twilight Capital and took the locomotive to the Upper Town, but the news came from the mine dispatching bureau in the outer edge area. The short report did not mention the "outsiders". Happening.
"They came from outside the Twilight Capital!" Wendell said loudly, his eyes finally radiant again, and that was the glory that the life-seeking career finally got when it got results. "They come from Asgard, look at them, healthy and strong, the entire Asgard is not polluted, there is no need to light barriers, and the whole country is healthy!"
The Sheriffs of the Steam Council suddenly looked at each other, and some minor commotion spread between these people. The middle-aged man who was headed was also stunned, but his eyes quickly cooled down.
"A nonsense!"
He said to Wendell.
"You..." Winderton was angry, but he hadn't had time to say anything more. The middle-aged man in front of him waved his hand: "I don't know where these people came from, but made this scam. It is the foundation that shakes the entire Twilight capital! You are finally completely mad to take them away!"
The sheriffs hesitated a little, and the middle-aged man immediately blinked: "What are you doing?"
At this time, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, Hao Ren smiled and looked at the superior security officer: "I said this man, but anyone who knows normal people should have no right to speak without judgment. You judge Is the basis for others to talk true and false is your mood?"
The middle-aged man did not know how Hao Ren suddenly came back silently from a few meters and put his hand on his shoulder. He was shocked and raised his eyes to discover the strangers who claimed to be from Asgard. At this moment, they are already standing by their side to form a siege, and his sheriffs are still standing in the same place, and their expressions are stiff as if they were frozen.
The shadows of each of them were pulled long, and the long, deformed shadows pointed to the direction of the little devil Elizabeth. In the big eyes of Eliza during the day, two clusters of thin green flames flashed away.
"What are you doing..."
“We heard that the Steam Council is the manager of the Twilight Capital,” Hao Ren held his arm. “You manage the city and maintain the city. Under such a difficult situation, the city has developed steadily for two thousand years. At first I still admire you a bit, but you...this is a little signboard."
"The curse?" The middle-aged man was gloomy, but he still didn't panic in this kind of subject. He just glanced at Wendell. "Is this the helper you are looking for to help you? You are not afraid to recruit wizards." Guard?"
"I have no intention of reversing your misunderstandings and prejudice against me," Wendell said with a helpless smile. "But you should not let this prejudice completely blind your mind. Do you not want to believe outside the barrier..."
"There is only one darkness outside the barrier! It is as dark as your heart!" The middle-aged man glared at the old man with his neck. "I knew this when you first abandoned your wife and abandon your son!"
Hao Ren originally thought about how to give some humanistic care to this parliamentary official who seemed to be inferior. As a result, it was awkward at this time: It sounds like... Is there still a feeling inside?
Not only Hao Ren, next to Vivien Lily, a large group of people in Itzax in March and May, is also a moment of high emotions, a lot of idle, nothing to wait for the gossip guys to instantly turn around, one by one, put golden light ......
If Vivien Lily and May are well understood, after all, they will watch TV and watch family dramas when they are idle. When they hear this, they will naturally be enthusiastic, but Izak is not very good to explain: A generation of devils also have a hobby to inquire about the insider's divorce?
The expression on Wendel’s face changed and it eventually turned into a sigh: “This is my son, Hope.” (^)
