King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 164 Reminder from the Abyss

On a new day, light once again shone on Alex's desk.

This light is neither dazzling nor weak.Just the right amount of time to wake Alex from his slumber.

"Well..." Alex woke up from the bed in a daze.

After a simple wash, he started a new day of his own.

Familiar machinery, familiar streets, and familiar people.Alex looked at it briefly, then turned around and headed to his machine shop.

Alex had walked this road countless times, and he was already familiar with it.Opening the closed door, everything in the factory still looks so orderly.

Everything here exists for him, and he can fully display his talents here.

Alex walked over to his desk and eagerly pulled out a document.On it were Catherine's various data - which Ember collected and sent to him.

Alex is still very concerned about his first "masterpiece".He took out a notebook and kept writing something while looking at the data.

These are all improvement plans in Alex's mind, but now he just writes down the general direction and will expand on the details later when he is free.

The "rustling" sound of the paper and pen rubbing against each other lasted for a long time. If nothing else happened, this faint sound should have continued until noon.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" Suddenly, there was a loud and regular knock on the door of the factory.

Alex put down his pen and looked up in surprise.Obviously, he didn't expect that anyone would find him at this time.

"Come in." Alex said casually to the side, and then the door of the machinery factory opened automatically.

Alex looked out the door and saw a woman standing straight there.

The woman has green eyes and wears a wide purple robe.The long flaxen hair on the head is pulled up, and the eyes on the eyes give people a capable and intelligent feeling.

"A rare visitor, I didn't expect people from the Alchemy School to come to my place?" Alex raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the person's appearance was obviously that of an alchemist.

The alchemists in Kyria are all from the Alchemy Academy.But alchemists have never dealt with people like them who work on machines. Why did this strange alchemist come to him?
The visitor didn't answer Alex's question. She walked into the factory and looked around.Then his attention was attracted by the huge trillion-year-old dragon beast in the center.

"Did you do this?" The strange alchemist looked at the huge mechanical dragon with interest and asked casually.

Alex sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere.He sat down again and continued writing.

"You should let people know who you are before asking questions, shouldn't you, ma'am?"

"Bayetta. Black Earth Alchemist of the Alchemy Academy." Bayetta nodded slightly to Alex and walked to his side.

Alex looked at Valetta in surprise when he heard this, but he looked 30 years old.If she didn't use any alchemy to extend her life, she would be able to reach the level of black earth at this age, and her talent is not bad.

"Why do you come to me if you don't create new life? Do you think the underground ecological environment is diverse enough?" Alex didn't pay too much attention to Valetta's achievements. He didn't even raise his eyebrows. asked.

One of the great responsibilities of the Camria Alchemist is to be responsible for the expansion of the underground ecological environment.

Kyria, built under the earth, had nothing at first, but human creativity is unlimited.

If there is no sun, create your own sun; if there is no life, create life!This is one of the reasons why the alchemy of Camria is so different from that of the Seven Kingdoms on Earth.

"Create new life?" Bayetta raised her head and looked farther away through the ceiling of the factory with crisscrossed pipes.

"But what's the point?" Bayetta laughed at himself, seeming to sneer at the term "creating life."

When Alex heard this, his hand that was writing like flying paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can't say that." "Actually, I still envy you alchemists. The change and creation of life are all in your hands." .”

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite doll from the drawer.Turn the clockwork and the doll will move lifelike.

"Unlike us, creating a pure mechanical life is like a pearl on the top of the mountain for those of us who work on machines, bright but out of reach."

Alex patted the puppet, and the puppet that was moving just stopped instantly.He put the puppet away again and started working again as if there was no one else around.

But this time Valetta was no longer as quiet as before.She came to Alex and knocked hard on his desk.

The loud noise of "bang bang bang" and the accompanying vibration made Alex unable to concentrate at all.

"What do you want to do!" Alex stood up and glared at Valetta.This was the first time in a while that he was angry.

"What do I want to do?" Bayetta stopped her rude actions, she stared into Alex's eyes and said: "Stop lying to yourself, Alex, this is all fake, you are better than I know better!"

When Alex heard Valetta's words, his momentum instantly weakened.His eyes were wandering and he said vaguely:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. What a lie. If you talk nonsense again, I will ask my assistants to send you out."

Alex turned his head and waved his hand towards Valetta, as if he didn't want to talk to her too much.

When Valetta saw Alex's performance, he immediately became more convinced of his idea.Since discovering the anomaly in this world, she has tried to hint her conjecture to others.

But most of this is of no use. Even if she points it out directly, everyone assumes that she has nothing to do and is overthinking.

This feeling that she is the only one different in the whole world is too painful. Sometimes she also wonders, is she really thinking too much?

However, the memory in her mind always reminds her: this world is false.With this thought in mind, Bayetta began to re-observe the world. The more carefully she looked, the more unreasonable this world became.

Either my own memory is false, or the world is false.These two terrifying options have been lingering in Bayeta's mind, urging her to choose one, leaving her with no peace of mind.

Until she discovers an even more unusual guy in Alex.

And today she came here just to confirm her thoughts.If it's just my imagination, then just let it go. If Alex also has doubts, then there really is a big problem in this world.

Thinking of this, Bayetta stepped forward and grabbed Alex's sleeve. She said excitedly: "Alex, this world is false. You know this, right? Look at you, You’re running away!”

"Let go!" Alex broke away from Valetta's hand. He pointed at Valetta and said, "You think too much and you should take a good rest. Come and talk to me again after you calm down. Bar."

With that said, Alex waved his hand, and the two robots behind him walked up, ready to forcibly "send" Valetta out.

"The brightness of the human support light will not be so soft. It should be as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it."

When Bayetta saw the robot coming, she didn't resist. She just talked about the abnormality she discovered.

She believes that Alex, as a scholar, can be more convinced by real evidence than by pure violence.

"Kanria bunnies don't hop around like they do on the ground, and they don't come in white. Although I admit that adding those two things together makes the Kanria rabbit cute."

"And..." Bayetta paused and continued:

"Taboos from outside the world will not be attracted so easily, nor will they be bound so easily!"

At this point, Alex finally stopped.
