"Millet, this way, this way," Li Huailin said to Millet in a friendly manner.
Millet was very touched. Her master was speaking to her in such a friendly manner. Wasn't this a scene that could only be dreamed of? As she was deceived by Li Huailin's friendly face, Millet walked to the position that Li Huailin had indicated without hesitation.
"Kacha!" The sound of a mechanism rang out. Li Huailin jumped back a big step.
"Didn't you say it's a mechanism door? Why did you jump so far? "Gilbert couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem." Li Huailin coughed twice. "I thought about it carefully. It should still be a trap. It's too ridiculous to put a mechanism door here."
"It's good that you know!" Gilbert said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a creaking sound coming from the wall beside him. It slowly moved away. Then, a passageway really did appear.
"F * ck! This is impossible! "Li Huailin and Gilbert shouted at the same time.
"Ow!" Only Millet, who didn't know what was going on, cried out carefully.
"And then? Is there no then? " Li Huailin looked left and right. There really didn't seem to be any follow-up mechanisms. "This is so f * cking unfair. Why was I the only one who fell into the trap from the beginning to the end!"
"Speaking of which, what was the designer of this maze thinking? Is this really the switch to open the stone door? "Gilbert said." The hole in the brain is too big. I can't understand it at all. "
"Hmm, ahem. Look at my IQ. I'm scared of myself." Speaking of this, Li Huailin had an expression that said, "I guessed it long ago."
"It's completely a blind cat finding a dead mouse, okay? Didn't you just say that it was a trap? "Gilbert said.
"Don't mind the details. Actually, I guessed it long ago. Hmm, hmm," Li Huailin said complacently.
"Alright, alright." Gilbert waved his hand. "Then, guess again. Should we go into this new tunnel, or should we continue forward?"
"Hmm …" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "This new passage is definitely the right way. It's safe to go this way."
"Really?" Gilbert asked doubtfully. "Have you really thought about it seriously?"
"What else do you think?" Li Huailin asked.
"I really can't keep up with the thoughts of the designer of the labyrinth. You seem to be quite compatible with him. Come, I'll just watch …" Gilbert said.
"You see, just go this way. No problem." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Millet, lead the way."
"Ao!" Millet happily followed Li Huailin's instructions and entered the new tunnel.
Perhaps it was Millet's luck or Li Huailin's ability to understand the thoughts of the designer of the labyrinth, but the two of them and the dragon walked on and on, and they really passed through the tunnel. After passing through the tunnel, they arrived at a relatively wide underground space. Of course, the surroundings were still very dark, but they were all lit up with candles and some unknown things that looked like electric lights. In any case, the view was much better.
In front of the two of them was a small stone fortress that looked like an underground ruin. There was a rather wide door and even a few windows. The windows glowed with a faint yellow light. No matter how you looked at it, it felt like someone was living here.
"And we've reached our destination?" Li Huailin looked at the building in front of him and said, "What about the rest of the traps?"
"What's wrong with not having any traps …" Gilbert said with a headache. "Let's go in and take a look first."
"How do you plan to go in?" Li Huailin looked at the wooden door in front of him. Although it was a little old, it still looked quite sturdy.
"Hmm … knock on the door?" Gilbert said after some thought.
"Hello, Devil Sauce. Are we here to visit or something?" Li Huailin said.
"That's right. It sounds a little strange." Gilbert nodded. "Let's see if the door is locked first."
Just as the two of them were about to push the door, it creaked open on its own. Gilbert reacted quickly and immediately took a step back. At the same time, he drew his sword in front of him to protect himself. Li Huailin was the type who wasn't afraid of death at all. He stood in place without any reaction.
Slowly, a person holding a lantern appeared from the door. This person was wrapped in a black cloak, making it impossible to see his appearance at all. It was not even possible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. However, Li Huailin noticed the hand that was holding the lantern. It was a very scary left hand. It was very, very thin, and didn't look like a human hand. If it wasn't for the skin on it, no matter how you looked at it, it would look like a skeleton's hand. Other than that, Li Huailin could only see the yellow name above the person's head, indicating that he was neutral. Claus Spintock.
Claus was neutral and had no intention of attacking. He raised his head and seemed to look at Li Huailin and Gilbert. Then, he lowered his head and said in a very, very hoarse voice, "Welcome … two humans …"
His voice was so hoarse that it was a little uncomfortable. Gilbert couldn't quite tell what he meant, so he asked tentatively, "Excuse me, who are you? What are you doing here? "
"Let's talk inside …" Claus Spintock said as he walked inside.
"Uh …" Li Huailin touched his face. "It seems that someone unexpected has appeared. I thought there would be a big demon or a level 100 boss, but it turned out to be a very ordinary NPC."
"Let's go in and take a look first," Gilbert said.
Lin Li followed Claus into the room. It was actually quite bright inside, but it was not a living room. As soon as they entered, they saw various workbenches full of parts and tools. Next to them were all kinds of strange machines that were being assembled. The ground was also covered with parts and garbage. It did not look like a place for humans to live. It would be more appropriate to call it a workshop.
"Humans are really rare visitors …" Claus continued in a low voice as he walked. "To be honest, how long has it been since I've seen a human? Twenty years, thirty years … I can't remember."
"May I ask who you are, old mister?" Gilbert asked cautiously when he heard Claus muttering to himself.
"My name is Claus Spintock." Walking to a table, Claus turned around and said, "As you can see, I live here. Then … two humans, may I ask why you are here?"
"We only heard rumors that there are demons in the ruins here. Trading with demons can give you great power. I need this power now," Gilbert said firmly.
"Demons?" Claus was slightly taken aback. "I've lived here for nearly a hundred years, and I've never heard of any demons here. You're mistaken …"
"Is that so?" In fact, Gilbert wasn't sure if there were demons here or not. He wasn't a local, and he had only heard about demons from Merlin. He asked a few local bandits, and they had indeed heard of the legends of demons, but they weren't sure. Of course, he came here full of hope, but now that he heard Claus's words, he was a little disappointed.
"Are you an engineer too?" Li Huailin did not have a good impression of engineers. He just saw the familiar room and asked subconsciously.
"Yes, I'm an engineer." Claus nodded. "How about it? Are you interested in engineering? If you can help me collect some materials, I don't mind teaching you some basic engineering skills. "
"Not interested." Li Huailin said. "I have a terrible impression of engineers. Please don't mention this to me again, or I won't be able to stop myself from slapping you."
"Is engineering helpful in war?" Gilbert suddenly asked.
"War?" Perhaps it was this topic that caught Klaus' attention. He suddenly felt a little excited. "Of course, I think engineering is omnipotent. If you can understand the true meaning of engineering, nothing in the world will be too difficult for you, let alone war."
"Really?" Gilbert asked immediately.
"Come, come and take a look." Claus pulled Gilbert to a statue with his withered hand. This was the demonized battle puppet that Li Huailin and Gilbert had seen at the entrance of the ruins. However, this one seemed to be in the assembly stage. "Look at this. This is my invention, the demonized battle puppet. Compared to the puppets made by other engineers, my battle puppet has strong attack power. Its strength is greater than that of an ordinary soldier. Its body is sturdy, and it's not afraid of arrows at all. If there were thousands of such puppets on the battlefield, wouldn't it be very easy to win?"
"Yes." Gilbert suddenly understood. If there were ten thousand battle puppets that were not afraid of death, it would be terrifying.
"This thing can be mass-produced? You're the only one who knows how to make it. How many can you assemble in a day? "Li Huailin asked.
"How many a day? Even with my skills, I can only make one in ten days. "Claus shook his head.
"One in ten days … If it's ten thousand, I think it'll take about 300 years to finish." Li Huailin smiled. "It seems that you're a theorist. Theoretically, your engineering objects can be used in war, but in reality, they can't."
"Nonsense. I've already thought of a way." Klaus looked a little anxious. He hated it when people said that his engineering items were useless. "Of course I can't do it alone, but in fact, the outer shell of this battle puppet isn't that complicated to make. Five engineers at the intermediate level or above can work together to make one in half a day. As for the core inside, I can make ten of them in a day by myself. In this case, as long as I can find 25 intermediate engineers to work with me, we can make ten battle puppets in a day. Ten thousand battle puppets will only take three years. Do you think it's feasible?"
"Huh? Now that you mention it, it's actually feasible. " Li Huailin nodded. It was really feasible to spend three years to raise such a force. "But how many materials do we need for one battle puppet?"
"Err …" Speaking of this, Claus suddenly became speechless.
