Chapter 238 Arsenal
All light is absorbed.
The entire area was plunged into pure darkness.
The moment darkness fell, all the structures flying in the sky froze in place, shaking left and right constantly trying to find their targets.
However, this darkness was real darkness, even the orange-red light emitted from the energy veins of these aircraft was absorbed.
Fallen into absolute darkness.
These aircraft began to circle around in confusion in the sky above the entire space.
But Alka and the others could see it clearly.
At this time, Xia Daiti still held her fist motionlessly, and she was holding the light in her hand tightly to prevent it from dissipating.
She covered the entire area where everyone was fighting and the sky. Entering this range was somewhat beyond its limit.
All I could hear was the sound of breaking in the sky from time to time.
Alka and others who were able to see their surroundings clearly were still destroying the machines in the sky.
But they all tried their best not to make any sound.
In addition to relying mainly on vision, making sounds can also alert these machines.
Lucilia felt at home in such an environment. She had already reached the second stage and was constantly moving in the darkness, appearing in various places.
All I saw were the machines in the sky constantly being destroyed and falling.
The edge of darkness enveloped the portal, and the flying structures that were still flying out stopped in a daze around it as soon as they flew out.
There was already a crowd there.
"nailed it!"
Simon said loudly, then stretched out his right hand, and the strange treasure index finger was emitting light.
The flying structure in the sky swayed from side to side, as if it was struggling.
If it could still emit light now, you would find that the orange-red light on its body is flickering.
"Permissions changed, mode released, standby state."
As the mechanical voice sounded, no one could understand it except Lucelia.
But they saw that all the aircraft were lined up in the sky under Simon's control and flew behind him.
"Phew, it's done. It's OK."
Hearing this, Xia Dai loosened his hand and the darkness around him disappeared immediately.
Mathilda stood up and began to check if anyone was injured.
Under the attack of so many constructed flying objects, no one was left intact.
Everyone looked somewhat disheveled, with mud all over their bodies and burns all over their bodies.
The heat emitted by those energy balls was so strong that even if you were not hit head-on, the heat would burn your skin and cause wounds when it passed by you.
After checking everyone's injuries, Matlisa raised her hands and a large amount of water gushed out, which then turned into drops of water and fell on the burns on everyone's bodies.
As the water drops flow in, a cool feeling emerges.
The burned wounds faded quickly and returned to their original appearance, with only some burned flesh falling off.
Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries and no one was hit directly.
After a short rest, everyone started to repair themselves again.
The surroundings were littered with the remains of structures they had destroyed.
Simon controlled the flying constructs whose permissions he had changed, flying around in the sky and making them form various formations.
"Did you see these structures? They are so powerful. They are only the size of a head. But the attacks they launch are so powerful. They can also fly. Moreover, the energy inside them..."
Simon kept talking, and he was very excited.
"Okay, my friend, you are too excited. Calm down. You will have plenty of time to study later. The main problem now is not this. Don't you want to go in and take a look? There may be more in there."
Alka comes and touches his shoulder to calm him down.
Hearing this, Simon nodded repeatedly and took a few deep breaths: "Yes, yes, I'm so excited."
The main reason is that the technology of these constructs is too perfect, which makes him a little obsessed.
Alka looked at the portal that was still open.
"Is it safe in there?" he asked, turning around.
Simon calmed down and nodded: "It's safe. It's just an arsenal inside. These aircraft are sentinels for surveillance."
Hearing this, Alka looked at everyone and then said, "Then let's go in, but not all of us, leave half of us outside."
Finally, Alka, Simon, Jason, Xiadaiti, and Lucelia walked into the portal.
The others were on guard outside.
As several people walked through the portal.
The gold color in the overlapping space appeared in front of everyone.
It is just a simple warehouse with various metal objects neatly placed around.
Some were in a mess, as if they had been looted.
"Is this the place where those aircraft were launched just now?" Alka looked at the place next to the entrance.
There was a whole piece of metal plate on the ground with something like a clip on it, and there were several aircraft parked on it.
There were also some metal parts and casings scattered on it.
This space looked much larger than the temple they had entered before.
After all, one is a research site and the other is a warehouse for storage.
"Lucelia, take a look and see if there is any information recorded here."
Lucilia nodded, jumped off his shoulder, and looked around on her own.
"Can you control these too?" Alka asked Simon.
In addition to the place at the entrance where the flying structures are stored, there are also many places where other unknown metal objects are stored.
It looks like it should also be a construct.
Simon came to the place where the aircraft were stored and picked up the aircraft that were still there one by one to take a look at them.
He shook his head with some regret: "No, these have already been damaged with the passage of time."
In other words, everything that could move just flew out.
Then Simon looked at the structures in front that had not been activated.
Several people followed behind.
"This pile of things should have been weapons instead of constructs, but it's a pity that none of them can be used." Simon said as he picked up a weapon that looked like a spear.
Jason picked one up and looked at it: "It looks like there's nothing wrong with it?"
Alka shook his head. "The exterior is fine. After all, the shell of this thing is very hard. The main thing is the inside."
As Alka said this, he picked up a spear and shook it.
As he shook, the spear could be heard with the sound of various parts shaking.
The inside was already in ruins.
"Can these materials still be used?" Xia Dai asked, after all, there are so many damaged weapons.
"These materials are worthless. Instead of melting them and removing impurities for use, it is better to spend some money to buy new raw materials."
Alka said as he looked at the spear in his hand. He had already learned some of the metals used in the spear through the effects of the spell.
Simon also sighed and said, "If we hadn't come to the Infinite Ocean, these materials would definitely be good, but now, they are really not worth much."
They did not gain nothing in the town. While strolling around the town, they discovered that many metal products were made of this material.
These metal materials were part of the exchange when the caravan arrived. They were not expensive and could even be considered affordable.
Not to mention the materials they collected during their exploration on the island, which were much better than the materials used in the standard weapons they had.
But they are all spell materials taken from living creatures.
So it's not worth wasting energy on these wastes, and their rings are not big, so they can't hold much.
"These two can be used." Among a pile of spears, Simon finally selected two spears that were in relatively good condition.
Hand one of the roots to Alka.
Alka took a closer look, probing into it with his magic, and easily figured out its construction.
"This is a great design, simple and practical."
He sighed, picked up the spear and swung it twice, easily cutting off the abandoned spears below.
The structural design inside is to increase the sharpness of the spear. The main problem is that this spear does not use any spells and the cost of materials is really low.
It can also be thrown out. The structure inside can enhance the penetration of the spear when it is thrown, and the flying speed and distance will also be increased.
Compared to melee combat, it seems more like a long-range weapon for throwing.
"The races that once inhabited this city-state seemed to be larger than humans today." Simon said, looking at the spear in his hand.
What they held in their hands were not spears at all, but javelins.
It seems that you are thinking the same thing as me.
Going further inside, there are some completely incomprehensible structures, as well as some firearms that look like rock-shaking guns.
These things had long since become scrap with the passage of time, and there was almost no significant gain. If these weapons were not made of solid materials and engraved with certain spells, they would not have lasted so long.
The more Simon explored, the deeper the regret on his face became. It was hard for him to accept that so many things had been abandoned.
The main reason is that the ruins have existed for too long.
These structures and weapons are relatively delicate things, and such problems will arise if they are not used for a long time.
The reason why the flying structure sentinels can still move is because they are used for vigilance. The entire arsenal has energy veins and automatic repair programs specially provided for them.
Even so, there were only a few intact aircraft; most were in tatters, and a small number could not even move.
They came to the very center of the entire space.
There is an object covered in a metal shell.
"What's in here?" Jason walked over and took a look.
"Can I open it?" he asked, looking at Alka.
Alka nodded.
The things inside are most likely the purpose of their trip.
As the metal casing was opened.
The contents inside were revealed, and sure enough, there was a blue border on the outside.
The overall appearance of this thing looks very much like a cannon.
The muzzle is the size of a human head, and the barrel is cylindrical. The overall length reaches two meters. Together with the base that carries the cannon, the length reaches about three meters.
There is a circular fixing seat under the gun body, plus the place behind the gun where it is fixed. This thing seems to be able to rotate 180 degrees, lift up, and slightly lower its head .
There are many angles to attack .
Simon walked over step by step, gently stroking the barrel with his hands, his eyes filled with obsession and tenderness, as if he was stroking his beloved.
"Oh my God, look at the material used, look at the patterns carved on it." As he said this, he let the magic power in his hand flow in to explore its internal structure.
“There are so many spells carved inside, arranged so neatly, and using such sophisticated construction technology.
I have no doubt what great destruction he could have caused had he opened fire."
As he spoke, he even stuck his head directly into the muzzle of the gun to examine the inside more carefully.
"Uh...he's gone crazy again." Jason said helplessly.
Alkar shrugged, "Forget it, let him watch for a while. He'll go crazy if we disturb him now. Let's go see Lucilia."
Since he left quietly, he left the middle area to Simon alone.
Anyway, he is considered a technician on the ship, so this thing will eventually be handed over to him for research.
They found Lucilia in a corner, interpreting something on the discarded weapons.
Next to her was a metal tablet with densely packed and unclear text engraved on it.
"How's it going, Lucilia? Did you gain anything?"
"Not much." Lucelia shook her head.
"This is just a weapons storage area. Apart from the serial numbers engraved on the weapons, the weapons storage rules and the weapon names next to them, there is no other information."
In other words, there's no point staying here.
Several people returned to the center.
Simon was in a slightly better condition at this time, but he still seemed very obsessed.
"Wow, what happened to him?" Lucelia asked in amazement.
This was the first time she had seen Simon like this.
"Um...some of his little quirks," Jason said awkwardly.
Then he and Alka walked up and forcibly pulled Simon over.
"Calm down and think about how to get it out first ."
"We can't just carry him onto the boat like this. The people in the town will definitely see us, which is not good."
Hearing this, Simon recovered a little and said, "It's okay, we can take it apart. It is a segmented assembly and can be taken apart into three parts. Each of us takes one part and puts it into the pocket ring."
As he said this, he walked up and touched the cannon again.
But this time he finally restrained himself.
Magic power surged from his hands, and glowing lines appeared on the surface of the cannon. Then the barrel separated from the middle, and Simon took a part of it away.
Jason quickly took it and stuffed it into his pocket ring.
Fortunately, they cleaned their pockets and rings when they came out, leaving a lot of space.
Then he stuffed the rear section of the gun into his pocket ring, and finally the base.
This is the largest part.
Alka looked at the ring in his pocket and shook his head helplessly.
He had too much stuff in there, and even after cleaning it out, there was still no room for it.
In the end, Xia Daiti had to put the gun mount into his pocket ring.
After doing all this, everyone left the portal.
Standing outside the portal, Lucilia repeated the secret words she had just spoken in reverse, and the portal closed immediately.
"The solidity of this space is much better than the previous one." Julia said above the pit.
"Maybe it's because this is an arsenal."
Xia Daiti talked about the possibilities.
"Should we continue digging?"
"Dig, why not dig."
Alka calculated the time. They were very efficient today. Only nine hours of daylight had passed and there was still at least half a day left until night.
Simon collected the debris from the battlefield and everyone started digging again.
This time they dug out the entire ruins, and Lucelia kept interpreting the entire ruins, trying to get some useful information.
The only pity is that there are no valuable white spots around this point.
Only some valuable precious metal objects and gems were obtained.
Only after the entire ruins were excavated did Lucilia nod and speak.
"The only possibly important information I know is that there is a place in the Vastva city-state specifically used to receive important guests, called the Observation Hall, which is also the museum of the Vastva city-state.
There may be more information related to the entire Vastva city-state there. After all, it is a place to receive outsiders, and it is also a city history museum."
Alka felt that this information was very useful. As long as they found this place, it would definitely help them better understand the city.
But he just hoped that there were well-preserved magical items in this museum.
Even if there are no magic items, there must be at least some ordinary valuable items, otherwise it will be difficult to locate it on the map.
Forget it, there may only be a few hours left before nightfall.
Then he said, "Let's stop here today. Let's go back and sort out what we have gained during this period. I will think about what to do next."
Everyone nodded, and then began to bury the entire ruins.
After doing all this, I started to return the same way.
"Are these constructs completely under your control?" Alka asked, looking at the Sentinel patrol plane flying beside Simon.
Sentinel Patrol Aircraft is the name of this construct, recorded on the metal tablet in the armory.
"They are completely under my control, but only four of them are intact. The others all have major problems."
Simon said with a little regret.
He now only had four of them still floating around him, and all the other problematic ones were stuffed into his pocket ring.
Some were carried in other people's pocket rings, after all, there were quite a few with problems.
But these are just problems, not unusable. He just needs to study them and see if he can try to fix them.
After chatting like this, everyone soon returned to the town.
As soon as I came in, a human came up and it was obvious that he was a crew member of the merchant ship.
"Hello."
