After Arthur left, Tartaglia had the boxes moved back to their original locations, and he returned to his room, thinking about how he felt when he left Liyue Harbor today.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn’t figure out how Arthur appeared. Could it be the ghost mentioned in Liyue culture?
Thinking of this, Tartaglia smiled. He thought that he was influenced by Liyue's culture and actually believed in the existence of ghosts.
Chapter 88: Going to the Final Machine
After Arthur returned to the room, he opened the system panel after a long absence.
[Name: Arthur
Strength: 35→70
Speed: 30→60
Intelligence: 350→400
Stamina: 30→70
Special status: Heart of God (Wind), Favor of the Imaginary Tree
Props: Royal Sword*1, Gaia Foundation, Skip Level, Rough Stone*16000
Special abilities: 100% chance of catching a blade with bare hands, cooking proficiency, cleaning skills, energy conversion, I can't do anything, speech: bewitching, speech: encouraging, God's Age Archery (for a while), smashing Varudo, the four gods can't get a Mora together, I will launch a powerful attack]
Compared to the past, it was a complete upgrade. The number of abilities in the ability list had doubled, and his own attributes, strength, speed, and endurance had almost doubled. The intelligence that affected the energy in the body had also increased significantly due to his frequent use of Honkai energy.
But if I hadn't opened the panel myself, I would have forgotten the existence of skipping levels. However, the following two tasks are to deal with the next crisis in Liyue and to obtain the Heart of God. There should be no possibility of failure in either of these two tasks, so you can get an extra reward by skipping levels.
"Forget it. It feels a bit wasteful."
However, the faith value of God's Heart has increased a lot. It was only 111 at the beginning, but now it has reached 190. It will reach 200 in a while, and there will be two more special draws.
After seeing the number of raw stones and the luxurious panel, Arthur fell asleep comfortably.
It wasn't until the next morning that I was awakened by a knock on the door.
After opening the door, she found Keqing, who had finished dressing up, waiting for her.
"Hold on."
Change clothes, then master cleaning skills and cooking skills to get the meal done in one go.
Solving the problem of washing and breakfast in ten seconds, I am afraid that only Arthur can do it. Although cleaning skills and cooking skills are not very powerful and the results are not particularly outstanding, they are really useful in life.
"Don't worry, you'll have time after you finish your meal."
Seeing that it was still early, Arthur pulled Keqing into the house. It wasn't like Liyue would disappear if they were late for a few minutes. What's more, since Keqing got up very early, she would have time for breakfast.
"Let's go."
Once again, she sighed that the cleaning technique was really useful. After cleaning everything up, Keqing took Arthur to the gathering place.
Just as Arthur thought, Keqing got up too early. Even after having breakfast, the Thousand Rocks Army had not arrived yet. Only a few secretaries in charge of paperwork arrived early.
And these secretaries were the ones who firmly stood on the CP side in yesterday's discussion. In order to verify their own guesses, they chose to come to the venue early, just to see if Keqing would come with Arthur. In fact, when the two arrived, their idea of CP was fulfilled. It's a pity that they didn't see the hand-holding that they most wanted to see.
Ignoring the secretaries who were chattering nearby, Keqing came to the center of the venue and waited for the Thousand Rocks Army to gather.
Because Keqing had given the order yesterday, even though the departure time had not yet arrived, everyone had gathered long in advance.
I looked at the time and it was half an hour earlier than the time I notified. Since everyone is here, I might as well leave early and come back early.
"Soldiers of Liyue..."
Keqing was making a mobilization before the trip. Arthur was not a member of the Liyue system, nor a soldier of the Thousand Rocks Army. As a guest official, he could only watch Keqing speak and yawn beside her.
Fortunately, Keqing was not like some leaders who could talk for hours. She finished her speech in just two sentences, then stood at the front of the team, leading everyone to the location of the Guizhong Machine.
In order to ensure that no accidents occur and that there are sufficient personnel to guard the machine, there are quite a few people in the team. Because of this, and the fact that several secretaries in charge of paperwork are also needed, the team moves very slowly.
In order to take into account the secretaries' slightly worse physical fitness than ordinary people, they had to move slowly at a normal walking speed and take a rest after every step.
Since we were gathering in Liyue Harbor, there was no need to take a detour. We could just pass in front of Bubu Lu and move forward slowly along the steps on the western mountain road.
After crossing the bamboo bridge connecting Liyue Harbor and Tianheng Mountain, everyone finally left Liyue Harbor and arrived at Tianheng Mountain.
As soon as you leave Liyue Harbor, you can see the ruins where the mechanism is located. Although it is very close, due to the damage of the ruins and the changes in the mountain, the original road leading to the top of the mechanism has disappeared, so everyone can only move forward slowly along the edge of the ruins and the mountain.
"Be safe and watch your step!"
Keqing was at the front of the team. When passing a crack in a cliff, she reminded the people behind to be careful. The Qianyan Army carefully passed through the crack and successfully made it through.
However, when a young secretary passed by, she was unable to cross the cliff because of the obstruction of her clothes and her poor physical fitness. Instead, she missed a step and was about to fall off the cliff.
Although the height here was not high, nothing serious would happen as long as no vital parts were hurt, but the secretary, who was a clerk, had no time to react. After stepping on empty air, she closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come.
"Eh? Doesn't it hurt?"
After waiting for a long time and still feeling no pain, she finally slowly opened her eyes and found that she had reached the other side without knowing when.
"Be careful, although there is no other danger for the rest of the journey."
Arthur reminded her, and with the help of several other secretaries, she realized that everything that had just happened was not an illusion and that she had indeed stepped on empty air. However, at the moment of falling, a whirlwind appeared under her and carried her slowly to the other side.
Moreover, after the whirlwind disappeared, it directly lifted up several other secretaries who had not gone over there as well and sent them over there.
"Eh! Could it be that Mr. Arthur used it? I didn't see the Eye of God!"
After learning what happened, the secretary looked curiously at Arthur at the back of the team, but did not see the Eye of God.
"Could it be that Mr. Arthur is an immortal, or is he a disciple of an immortal, so he can use elemental power without the Eye of God!"
Several people directly imagined Arthur's life story of tens of thousands of words. Because they were secretaries beside Keqing, they knew a lot of information that ordinary people could not access. They also knew about Arthur's experience in Mond.
So in their minds, they directly imagined Arthur as an immortal who was returning home from a trip.
Chapter 89: I have a unique method of cracking mechanisms!
Without paying attention to the thoughts of the few people, they were about to reach the location of the return machine.
"Everyone on alert!"
Under Keqing's command, everyone picked up their weapons and stood guard all around. At the same time, the Qianyan Army in the rear blocked several secretaries behind them to prevent any danger.
But when they saw that the enemies were just a few Hilichurls, everyone let down their guard a little. Keqing led the few people in front and solved the battle in no time, and then came to the Guizhong Machine.
After the Qianyan Army cleaned up the surroundings, they stood guard around them. At this time, the secretaries followed Keqing to the Guizhongji.
"Well, is this it?"
Keqing pointed at the machine on the platform and asked the secretary beside her.
The secretary picked up the document in his arms and compared it with others. After going around it for a while, he returned to Keqing.
"That's right. This thing is the Guizhong Machine recorded in the ancient books, but it has been damaged. However, the ancient books do not mention how to repair it."
"Really? What a pity."
Although I found the return machine, I can't use it, which is a pity.
But just when Keqing was about to gather everyone to leave, she heard a noisy sound.
"what happens!"
When Keqing arrived at the location where the voice came from, she saw several Thousand Rock Army soldiers surrounding a few people.
"Lady Keqing, these people insisted on trespassing into a strategic location."
Seeing Keqing's arrival and Arthur beside Keqing, Ying's eyes finally lit up.
"Arthur, save me!"
The ones who were surrounded were Ying and Zhongli, and Paimon who was inseparable from Ying.
"Forget it, there's no need to stop it. The machine can't be used anyway."
Keqing asked the Qianyan Army to release a few people, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Is the machine broken?"
"Well, what shall we use to hunt coconut sheep?"
Hearing the conversation between Ying and Paimon, Arthur laughed out loud. Even Keqing, who was about to return empty-handed because the Guizhong Machine could not be used, burst out laughing. Looking at Keqing who turned around with a red face, it can be seen that Keqing wanted to hold back her laughter, but failed.
"?"
"What are you laughing at?"
Arthur laughed happily and looked at Zhongli while laughing.
"Does Zhongli also think there are coconut sheep here?"
Without answering Ying's question, Arthur looked at Zhongli and asked him a question. After all, Ying and Paimon believed him and didn't care, but what about Zhongli? He couldn't believe it too.
"Liyue is a vast land with abundant resources. As time goes by, there will always be some unpredictable changes. It is possible that the coconut sheep is a new animal that has appeared recently."
Arthur laughed even more happily. Keqing was also trying to hold back her laughter, but when she remembered that she once believed in the existence of coconut sheep, she suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at Arthur who was still laughing happily beside her, she suddenly felt a little angry for some reason.
"Hey."
Feeling the pain in his waist and the malice coming from all around him, Arthur stopped smiling and began to tell the others the story of the coconut sheep.
But Arthur was thinking, maybe pinching people is a natural skill for girls, and Keqing could learn it without any instruction? Why did she have to pinch herself? Keqing was smiling at the beginning.
"You should have learned about the existence of the coconut sheep from Qiqi."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"No, I just didn't expect you to be so naive."
But seeing Keqing's increasingly terrifying eyes, and Ying's look as if she was going to swing her sword and chop people if they continued to act like a riddle man, Arthur resisted the urge to continue teasing them.
"In fact, coconut sheep do not exist. Qiqi just likes to drink coconut milk and thinks that coconut milk is produced by coconut sheep. In fact, they do not exist."
Ying was silent, and Zhongli was silent too.
But Paimon didn't have any, "Isn't coconut milk produced by coconut sheep?"
Seeing the eyes around him looking at him as if he was a fool, Paimeng slowly sorted out his thoughts and realized that he had been led astray by Qiqi's train of thought.
"Forget it, let's go back."
Ying looked dazed, but Zhongli had no intention of leaving.
"I heard that the Guizhong machine is broken? Why don't you try to repair it?"
"There is no record of how to repair it in ancient books, so we can only seek other methods."
Keqing certainly thought of the repairs that Zhongli mentioned, but when it comes to battles or various projects, Keqing can do the work of several people alone. But if you say that repairs are the final mechanism, this kind of mechanical engineering is completely beyond Keqing's scope.
"Presumably, when the Guizhong Machine was first built, backup materials were prepared to deal with situations such as war damage. If I'm not mistaken, we must be able to find the original war preparation room in this ancient city wall, and there must be corresponding repair methods left behind."
Ying changed her recent impression of Zhongli, "I didn't expect that Zhongli, besides listening to opera and walking the bird, you are still useful."
"As expected of Mr. Zhongli, you are indeed very knowledgeable."
After hearing what Zhongli said, Keqing immediately arranged for the surrounding Thousand Rocks Army to go out and check the surroundings to see if there were any repair methods or combat readiness rooms.
"found it!"
Several people came to the location where the restored stone tablet was found.
[The flying beams and hanging wings, the stacked supporting body and head, are all stored in the warehouse, solid and lacquered, dust-free, and can last for a thousand years. The movable tooth nail machine and the goose feather strong string are all finely crafted, exquisite and incalculable, stored in a special box, and can be taken out as needed.
It is a valuable tool for defending a fortress. It must not be repaired carelessly. It should be treated as if it were your own hands and feet. Remember, remember!
All divine machines are finely crafted, and the craftsmen dare not not work hard and repair them day by day, so that they can be strong and sharp. If the earth is at peace for hundreds and thousands of years, and evil comes again in the future, and war breaks out again, then we should start the military preparations and call the craftsmen to take it. 】
In the end, it was understood that the task of repairing the machine was handed over to the secretaries of Zhongli and Keqing.
The war preparation room is very simple. The room next to Guizhongji and the half of the ruins opposite are where the war preparation room is located.
"It's time to decipher the secrets and crack the mechanism again!"
Ying said she was good at this kind of thing. Before others took action, Ying began to study the surroundings, trying to crack the mechanism and open the door of the war preparation room.
But who said that mechanisms must be cracked? Since returning from Master Liuyunjiefeng last time, I have discovered that mechanisms are not invincible, but just lack the strength to crack them. Most people will choose to crack them when they encounter them, but as long as they exert enough strength, the mechanism is just a relatively complex barrier.
"Zhongli, come and help."
He called back Zhongli, who was pretending to study how to repair the mechanism with the secretaries, and asked him a question.
"Can you put a shield on the materials in the war room to ensure they won't be blown up?"
