Chapter 113 Arriving at the City of Steam—[Rusty Wasteland! 】
“Not a bad little talent.”
“It is not very useful at this stage, but when the quality of the talent is improved, the effect should be very impressive.”
After reading [The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon], Xia En analyzed it secretly.
Subsequently, he opened the crew panel of Xiange.
【Crew: Xian Ge·Maya (bound)】
【Race: Bronze Dragon】
【Rank: One】
【Talent: Majesty of the bronze dragon; resistance to pollution; sensitive senses; profound knowledge…】
【Skills: provocation; melee combat; dragon language magic…】
【Description: The young dragon has just emerged from its shell and believes that it will eventually have the power to overturn the world. 】
【However, times have changed, and even the powerful ancient dragon community has been destroyed. 】
【As the last bronze dragon in the world, it is destined to recognize reality one day. 】
“The bronze crown has long been rusted, and only the tempering of blood and fire can regain its new life.”]
“…Um?”
Xia En looked at the content on this panel with a strange expression.
He discovered that Xian Ge did not have a [Secret Career], but instead had a [Rank] column.
This may indicate that the growth of a bronze dragon is a promotion path that is different from the secret career.
Think about it carefully.
The levels of Mystics are actually judgment standards set by humans, or in other words, mortals.
For those innately divine beings who are at a higher level when they are born, how can they know the concepts of first level and second level?
As for Xian Ge’s talents and skills…
【Learned】【Pollution Resistance】 is quite normal, mostly due to its racial ability.
But what happened to [provocation]?
Your ability to dance in minefields is still a skill, right?
You have to attack the minion with taunt?
Another thing that concerned Xia En was the words in the description.
“A crown of bronze?”
“Is this a metaphor for something?”
“And, of a race as powerful as the Bronze Dragon, there is only one Xian Ge left?”
This kind of thing is actually a bit incredible.
Even humans and vampires can survive the flood through various means. There is no reason that the more powerful ancient dragons will become extinct as a result.
unless…
There are other reasons that led to the destruction of the ancient dragon!
Thinking again about the “aphasia” curse in the elven bloodline, Xia En vaguely glimpsed one or two unclear afterimages from the fog of history.
As for the term “bronze crown”, Xia En just thought about it casually and stopped thinking about it.
To this day, he has become somewhat accustomed to the description of “The Riddler” that pops up on the panel from time to time.
Take advantage of the clear weather tonight and the starry sky will be exceptionally clear.
Xia En held the chart and compared the heading and route, thinking to himself.
“If nothing else happens, at this speed, we should be able to reach the sea area where the [Rusty Waste City] is located in another three days.”
…
…
Perhaps the law of conservation of luck comes into play.
The [Black Swan], which had already experienced a storm, arrived at the destination of the trip without encountering too many obstacles.
Of course we encountered a little accident along the way.
For example, you encountered a pirate ship, bumped into some alien sea beasts, or caught some weird stuff while fishing.
But for Xia En now, this is not a big problem.
The sea beasts that were hit were eaten as barbecue.
The strange trophies caught were piled deep in the cabin as a souvenir. With the keels and cannons watching, they obviously did not dare to make mistakes.
As for that pirate ship?
After seeing the [Black Swan], instead of attacking, it turned around and ran away without hesitation!
After all, now, with Xia En and Fei Ya together, the reward for the [Black Swan] has reached as high as 500 gold dragon coins!
Where do ordinary pirates dare to provoke?
No matter how good the money is, you still have to have the life to get it!
This made Xia En quite regretful, feeling that he had missed a way to make money.
At the same time, as the [Black Swan] headed towards the [Rusty Waste City].
Xia En can also clearly feel that the concentration of secret power contained in the seawater has increased, and the strength of the sea beasts in the seawater has also become stronger.
The reason is not difficult to guess.
Previously, the sea area where Duke Island, Silver Moon Island and even [Coral City] were located was essentially still in the category of “offshore”. In this world, the “nearness” of “offshore” does not refer to the distance from the continent – even a complete continent cannot be found in this place, so how can we talk about distance?
The “near” here refers to the closeness in the time dimension.
It is the sea area that was submerged later and appeared later.
No matter how rapidly the sea level rises, there will always be a sequence in which cities and continents are submerged. Cities further inland will obviously be swallowed up by the sea later.
The sea area where the [Rusty Wasted City] is located has begun to enter the realm of the “distant sea”.
In the open sea, the depth of the water is much greater than that of the offshore sea.
The concentration of the secret power will also increase as the water depth increases, and more terrifying and powerful alien sea beasts will naturally be born, and even indescribable huge sea monsters may appear.
For weak ships and sailors, the open sea is a forbidden area that cannot be touched!
At this moment.
On the deck, Shane looked around.
On the gently wavy sea, there were metal spiers like black swords one after another.
Some of them are far apart, and some are close together.
Like solemn and silent tombstones, they silently watch every visiting ship.
Seeing this scene, Xia En was sure that he had arrived at the former city of steam – the Rusty Waste City!
“Is this the legendary dark forest of steles?”
Fei Ya stood beside Xia En, looking at the spire on the sea in surprise.
With the depth of this sea area, it can still pierce the surface of the sea, which is enough to explain the towering height of these spiers.
It is difficult to imagine how the people of previous civilizations made these steel spiers.
“It’s really spectacular.”
“No wonder some believers in the Church of Steam say this is a miracle of the God of Steam and Steel.”
“But…ordinary ships would be wary just sailing on this sea, right?”
Hearing Fei Ya’s words, Joey on the side nodded.
“It is said that every year, there are countless salvage ships that are pierced by spires in [Rust Waste City].”
Obviously, in addition to these tall towers piercing the sea, there are also a considerable number of spiers hidden under the sea.
If a passing ship is not careful, its hull will be pierced by the spire, and it will hit the tower and sink.
Even Xia En couldn’t help but slow down the speed of the [Black Swan] when sailing here, and moved forward cautiously.
“Hmph, the captain who will sink his ship here is nothing more than a trash fish.”
Young dragon Xian Ge flapped his wings twice and commented condescendingly: “You are not even qualified to be my slave!”
Shaan glanced at it silently.
Xian Ge’s body trembled slightly, and he quickly said: “Ahem, of course, my captain is not that kind of trash!”
“How can it be difficult to find Captain Xia En in this dark forest of monuments?”
“but…”
Xian Ge changed the topic and thought flashed in his eyes: “Those spiers seem to be more than just decorative buildings?”
Hearing this, Xia En’s heart moved slightly.
In the past few days, this young bronze dragon has a somewhat arrogant temperament, but his eyesight is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people, and he has an extraordinarily keen perception of mysterious powers.
However, even if there is something weird about these black spiers, Xia En will not change his plan.
He first dropped the anchor and fixed the [Black Swan] in place to avoid hitting the black spire during the drift.
Then let several crew members stand by on the ship.
After all, this is the first exploration of the [Rusted Waste City], so it would be better to let the projection body explore the way first.
Soon, Xia En returned to the captain’s cabin.
Open the panel.
“Start diving!”
…
…
The vision fell into a brief but familiar darkness.
The feeling of falling keeps coming.
It’s just that it’s a little different from the previous submarine.
During the sinking process, a low and hoarse roar reached Xia En’s ears.
This sound was familiar to him; it was the whisper of the core of steam.
But at this time, the sounds seemed a little too dense and noisy, as if they were neighing in pain and singing a lament that ordinary people could not understand.
Soon, Xia En opened his eyes.
A majestic steel city caught his sight.
