"I caught a spy!" said the Paparal man confidently. Fang Zhu held his shoulder and pulled him up, looking at the pitiful little thing that was pressed by Parker. The little thing was half a head shorter than Parker, with some scales on his gray skin, pointed ears, and big black eyes.

Fang Zhu recognized that it was a dog-scalper. They were quite common in the underground world and survived by eating insects and fungi. Most dog-scalpers had extremely limited intelligence, and it was rare for them to speak smoothly like this one. Most of the people active in the empire were gray-scale dog-scalpers, just like the one in front of them, they were not even as good as Ishrien's distant relatives in their intelligence level.

Kowtags are usually not dangerous. Because they are timid and lack aggressiveness, they will not be spies. If someone wants to train kowtags as subordinates, his mind must have been in water. Fang Zhu dragged away the Paparal people, looked at the trembling little thing and asked, "Your name is Pepe?"

The little guy was holding his head, looking at them pitifully, begging, "Pepe is a good person."

"You have the final say whether you are a good person or not," Fang Rong replied. "If you answer my question seriously, I will judge whether you have bad intentions."

"Why are you talking to it so much?" Parker grinned at the little thing in dissatisfaction, "What other kindness can it be with us sneakily?"

His vicious expression scared the other party so much that he trembled, and scared the words to his mouth back into his stomach.

Fang Yu kicked the Paparal man angrily, "Go on the way! You have made a contribution to this matter, but if you talk nonsense, the bonus will be gone."

Parker was full of complaints and was blocked by a bonus, and walked to the side with a gulp. Silvede looked at the scene with some amusement, took a gold coin and put it in his hand.

The Paparals were a little shy and said loudly: "I don't accept the bribes from you two." But as he said that, he wiped the cowling gold coin worth seven or eight hundred lissel hard on his gloves and put it in his pocket.

"Your relationship is so good." Luo Wei said with some envy when she saw this situation.

Silvede smiled and said, "If Senior Sister Luo Wei wants to come to the Qihai Brigade, Ed will definitely welcome him."

"Haha, then I'll thank you for your kindness first," Luo Wei smiled and shook her head, "But it's not that easy for me to have a contract with the club."

"That's not necessarily true. Ms. Ming is the president of the God Slayer, right?"

Luo Wei was slightly stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something.

On the other side, Fang Zhu finally comforted the little thing.

"Your name is Pepe?"

"Pepe is Pepe," said the dog-headed man, "Pepe is a good person. Pepe did not follow you sneakily, but just let Pepe come and see it. It said you and those people above are not the same person."

"Big guy?" Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise. The kobold could understand what they said and could organize basic logic. This was not simple. He was also a gray-scale kobold. It can be said that he was the worst intelligence in this lineage. If he was either talented or had other opportunities.

He couldn't help but become interested in the big guy he said.

"Big guys are big guys. They are much bigger than Pepe and much bigger than you." Pepe replied with his big dark eyes flashing.

"Is that so, the big guy asked you to follow us," Fang Yu asked, "Why?"

The people above naturally refer to the Imperials, but how the other party distinguishes them from the Imperials is not a one-way person? This cannot be judged simply by a little intelligence. It needs to be analyzed from motivation, and there may even be some judgments from intuition. Who is that big guy? Is it the earth element?

"Because Aona wants to meet you, the big guy let Pepe lead the way."

"Who is Aona?"

"Aona is Aona."

Fang Yu asked several times again, but Pepe went back and forth and said those words. Although his intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary kobolds, he was still limited and he spoke in a messy manner.

But he understood that there was an existence named Aona who wanted to see them. He didn't know if Aona was human, but the name sounded like a woman. The big guy and the Pepe in front of him were basically related to this Aona. The little dog-headed guy was heartless, but the big guy still seemed to have some concerns about them, so he asked Pepe to follow them to see.

So, the big guy should be not far away.

He looked around curiously, why did his group of people look at the other party when they entered this underground ruin?

From a verbal point of view, the other party seemed to have met the imperial people, but did not take the initiative to deal with the empire, but came to him. Is it just because he is not an imperial person? This reason does not seem to be very tenable. Even if Pepe has a rift with the master behind it and the imperial people, it does not mean that everyone outside the empire is a good person.

The big guy looked so alert, and he believed that the person behind him would not be so naive. So why is it that he is different from the imperial people? The identity of the Kaolin man and the identity of the craftsman were not right. Fang Rong's heart slightly jumped. He was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

For example, the ring of golden flame, Cang Zhihui, Miss Tata, etc., Zero Crystal. He came here for the Zero Magic Furnace, so the first thing he thought of was Zero Crystal. Could it be that the other party was related to the inheritor of the sixth technical route, so he sensed the Zero Crystal on his body through some means?

The more Fang Ling thought about it, the more he felt that he was approaching the truth. If the inheritor of the Sixth Technology Route and his descendants remained under this ruin, then everything would be explained. Why would the clues in the Temple of Knowledge be the first to be reached? Someone must have eliminated the evidence before the empires entered here.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He couldn't help but feel a little excited, just like the extinguished hope rekindled with fire. The clues that were originally broken were connected again, and they were free of time. He looked at Pepe and asked, "Do you say someone wants to see us, where is she? Or can you take us to see the big guy?"

Pepe nodded vigorously, "Pepe can lead the way."

Sure enough, Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Pepe, wait first," he took out the communication crystal, "We have some companions in this ruins, and I have to call them back first."

"Pepe knows," the kobold nodded again, "As long as you don't hit Pepe, Pepe can wait."

"Don't worry," Fang Ling replied, "that bad guy has been driven away by me."

The dark eyes of the dog-headed man couldn't help but show a little gratitude.

Fang Rong felt that it was a bit disgusting to deceive the little guy, but then he thought that he really didn't plan to do anything to the other party, so he took out the communication crystal and asked about the situation of Alisa and Luo Hao. Both teams were similar to those of him. Not to mention that they had nothing to gain, at least they had nothing to gain.

However, after hearing what happened here, both of them were a little amazed. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing? The imperial people had clearly turned the place upside down and nothing left. It was like a novel. The scope of the ruins was not too large. It was called a "city", but just a small town on the edge of the cliff. The two teams quickly returned to the central square to meet them.

I think the number of people who passed on the Sixth Technical Route that entered the underground was obviously not too large. Hundreds of people maintained the city underground for a long time until they finally declined. There may be a few people left for the last generation, and to this day, there are not many people left below. The Aona mentioned by Pepe may be one of those people.

It may even be the last successor.

Fang Yu has already made up a lot of things.

And when he saw the "big guy", he felt even more so sure.

The group stood in front of the "big guy" and looked at each other with their heads raised.

The other party was not an in advance of the earth element or similar rock derivative, but it did not escape the rough guess of Fang Zhu. It was a bulky, old iron figure. It was like all magic creatures that worked overtime. It was full of rust on the outside, the original decoration was broken, and there was even a big hole in the chest, and the working gears could be seen inside.

It is indeed extremely tall, almost as tall as two floors. Its core is powered by an old magic furnace, which is a variety between the tower magic furnace and the new magic furnace. It is either a masterpiece of the craftsmen in the later period or a hand-made by Aona. The magic furnace is connected to the piston and drives its slow movement with a tune and gear.

The steam rising from the chimney behind does not come from the steam engine engine, but the coolant after evaporation. However, it is actually an air-cooling device made of the core of the wind element solidifies water molecules (elemental particles) in the air. This design is quite old, but it is much more complete than the ones you have seen in museums.

It had a video crystal, which was installed on its head, and was also looking at Fang Plug and his group with its head down. The crystal flashed with orange light, looking like the headlights of a steam locomotive. However, after a moment, the old and tall iron opened its mouth like Fang Plug and others, and its sound was buzzing:

"Thank you for not hurting Pepe, everyone," it said in a roaring tone, but it seemed to be talking to itself, "Ms. Aona wants to meet you, please follow me."

“It can talk.”

Shui Wuming was shocked.

Although golems, iron dolls, rune guards and flexible structures are roughly two types of magic constructs, most of the former have certain autonomy, because the magicians who made them implanted souls from other creatures in it, the most common are various spirits, even magic pets, and even human souls.

Of course, the last one is strictly prohibited by the Tower of Stars and Moons, but it is still banned by some evil warlocks. The incomplete soul gives the puppet guards a certain amount of intelligence, just like the clockwork puppet that Fang Ling once encountered in the abandoned castle in the Masonke Creek station, but most of them are extremely limited.

They act on instinct, which is generally used in combat, and cannot even do daily trivial matters well, let alone speak. No wonder Shui Wuming was so surprised that giving a soul to a machine is basically a miracle in the field of alchemy, and it is the legendary type. The craftsmen generally scoffed at the magician's tricks, believing that it was just a trick.

What's more, there are still many negative effects on opportunities.

However, the magicians also have reasons for looking down on the alchemists, because in essence, the alchemists' method of creating dragon knights was to copy their method of making golems.

Of course, alchemy does not pursue autonomy. The existence of the dragon soul is just to assist the dragon knight in better control of his own machinery. The free dragon soul only exists in the dragon soul in nature, except... Fang Yu looked at his Miss Tata. Miss Tata was quiet, and also looked at the tall machinery in front of him.

"The world of alchemy is full of magical things," she said softly, "just as the Tower of Silver can create me, maybe someone can create machines with free souls."

Fang Yu nodded slightly, but no conclusion was drawn.

"Maybe someone is talking to us through it behind the scenes," Xiaoyao said his judgment, "Maybe it is not necessarily that Ms. Aona."

His judgment was most realistic, and Shui Wuming and others nodded. However, the tall ‘mechanical’ did not agree with this. Fang Yu looked at the other party and asked another question that he wanted to know more about the answer, "How do you tell that we are not the same as the Imperials? I guess you probably haven't dealt with the Imperials, right?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He was not thinking about it. If the Empire discovered this machine and the owner behind it, they and Pepe would probably have been away from this place long ago. The Empire was not so reasonable, not to mention that they were just a small team, and behind the Oshu people was a huge country, and they would definitely take away all possible clues here.

"I am more familiar with the empire than you think." Unexpectedly, the other party gave such an answer with a roaring voice.

"What's your name?" Fang Yu asked, "We can't call you a 'big guy', right?"

"You can call me Ota," replied the 'big guy' in a muffled voice, "This is the name that lady gave me."

Fang Yu was stunned. It was the meaning of steel in imperial language.

It seems that the woman named Aona is probably related to the Imperials.

However, the tall machine did not seem to be planning to tell them more. It turned around and walked forward slowly. Its body was huge, but its footsteps were not bulky, nor did it give people the feeling of moving the earth. It gave people a more like a huge creature, huge, but agile.

Several young people from different guilds were surprised behind them.

"No matter who makes it speak out," said Xiaoyao. "At least this level is unparalleled. There are many smart constructions that cannot achieve this flexibility. You must know that this is an old antique. It seems that we are right here for this trip."

"But this is a golem," Shui Wuming was a little worried. "Most golem are made by magicians and elemental envoys. Can we really learn something from it? This golem gives me a strange feeling, just like a natural dragon soul implanted in an old body. If that is the case, the inspiration for us will be very limited. We are alchemists."

Several people muttered, but Fang Zhu didn't care about this.

The others in the Qihai Brigade had no research on magic machinery, at most they were a little curious about this "big guy". However, Fang Yu was carefully looking at the bent rods, pistons and gears on the other party's body, as if they wanted to find a trace of clues about the inheritors of the sixth technical route.

A group of top craftsmen once lived here, and it is not surprising that they have developed anything. Perhaps this "big guy" in front of them is one of his masterpieces, otherwise it would be too coincidental that this underground remains are so closely linked to the alchemy of the Middle and modern times, and there is such a construct here.

Especially for the ‘big guy’ energy-supplying tower magic furnace, this design is rarely seen now.

However, Ota seemed taciturn and kept his mouth shut. Fang Yu thought that the other party would not answer his questions, so he spoke without making any comments. Moreover, Aona took the initiative to see them, so she must have something to ask them. Since that's the case, instead of asking this big guy, it's better to ask the owner directly behind it.

As for whether this will be a trap.

Fang Yu didn't think so much, but was out of confidence in himself and the Qihai Brigade.

Secondly, he has no other clues to get.

In fact, it was similar to what he had imagined. It was safe and sound all the way. Ota's tall figure took them through the underground city and actually walked towards the rock wall, which was beyond the scope of the ruins. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but realize that the Empire would definitely not let any inch of land in the ruins. If the other party was still in the city, he would have discovered it by the Aoshu people long ago.

However, he didn't expect that they would go so far. After leaving the underground city, Ota took them on the road for at least half an hour, going deeper and deeper into the ground, but the scenery around them had not changed, and they were still tall mushrooms and glowing plants.

Even Fang Zhu was a little suspicious. The other party was so far away from the ruins. How did he know that they entered the city and made Ota and Pepe arrive at that place? He asked this question, but the answer he got was that Ota and the puppy kobold had actually been staying there, with the purpose of guarding against the imperial people.

But I didn't expect to wait for them.

Ota didn't answer, and Pepe answered in a mess, but it could make people understand it.

Most of the time Aona could monitor that place remotely through some means, Fang Yu thought it might be through some equipment on Ota.

After understanding this, he stopped talking, and others followed him. After walking for a while, the landscape ahead finally changed. The rift valley had not yet become low, but there were fewer mushrooms, and stalactite columns began to appear around him again - those underground rivers that originally flowed through this place were eroded to form rock columns that were much taller than on the upper floor.

Limestone pillars stand tall and upright into the darkness on the rock dome, connecting the sky to the ground. Mortals are as small as dwarfs entering the giant country next to these natural wonders. The tall columns are the giant's courtyard corridors, and like a rocky forest, casting a shaking shadow between the torches raised by everyone.

After walking among these winding caves for a while, the tall iron statue in front finally stopped. Ota turned around and said to everyone: "We're here."

"What is this?" The Paparals looked at this strange place and couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Where did you bring us?"

"This is the Hall of Giants," Ota replied in a muffled voice as he looked at the rock column. "In the past, there was an underground lake here. The lake water flowed down from the lake you saw above, and through this place, forming this forest. It used to be called Castana, and there was a water market, but later the underground river flowed to the other side, and this place became what it is today."

"This is a gray and white field, and many people buried themselves in this place, the last tomb of the king," its voice became low, and finally replaced by a light female voice. "They have been here for generations to witness the changes here, and Alphonse has witnessed all this, so it is so angry at the treacherous people on the surface."

Fang Zhu unexpectedly looked in the direction where the sound came.

He saw a fluorescent, translucent girl coming out from behind the rock pillars and staring at them from afar.

"Oh my God," Xiaoyao was so scared that he screamed: "Ghost!"
