On the foggy surface of the sea, a silhouette flew over, circles of light flashing around him.
This was a goblin mechanic. His loose mechanic robe made him look even smaller.
Three prismatic mechanical devices hovered around him. At the center of each device was a round energy crystal with a diameter of half a meter.
The glowing light was emitted from it, flickering in the fog.
This goblin mechanic's body was actually floating in the air, a few meters above the sea.
The three prismatic devices continuously rotated, emitting a buzzing sound.
From the looks of it, this goblin mechanic had actually flown over from the black sea, arriving at the shore.
Upon reaching the shore, the three prismatic devices rotated, sizzling … they fused together, forming a mechanical arm.
On the palm of the mechanical arm, a half meter round energy crystal glowed, ripples of formless energy spreading out …
The goblin mechanic looked at the sea, his small eyes moving slightly. "The soldiers of Nanluo City's military have been killed? Who was the one who did it … "
He extended his skinny finger and touched the energy crystal. A ball of light immediately exploded, and a powerful detection wave spread out, covering a ten thousand meter radius of the coastline.
After a moment, the goblin mechanic frowned. "The one who did it ran ten thousand meters away? This kind of speed, it's at least a Level Five expert … "
At this moment, the sound of a police siren came from afar, and the police hover cars flew over.
The Gnome Mechanic stood there and waited for the Garrison Guards to approach. He took out a badge and showed it to them.
"You are Grandmaster Hayde! Hello! "
"Grandmaster Hayde, are you here to participate in the mechanic competition?"
… …
The group of guards were respectful, and some of them were looking at the Goblin Pilot with eyes filled with fanaticism and worship.
Blacksteel Volcano, Grandmaster Hayde, a three star mechanic.
Grandmaster Hayde was a combat mechanic, but whether it was in the outside world, or in the mechanic circle, he was respected by countless people.
This mechanic master was stationed at the border between the Eastern and Western Continents and the White Nightmare Sea, the White Nightmare Strait.
In the past 20 years, the number of experts from the Oceanic Beast Army that had died at the hands of Grandmaster Hayde was uncountable.
Even in the Western Continent, this mechanic master was highly respected.
"The killer is very strong, and his speed of escape is also very fast …"
Master Hayde reported the results of his inspection to the guards one by one, then turned around and left.
"Master Hayde actually left the White Nightmare Strait to participate in this year's Mechanic Tournament. This is sensational news!"
"Strange. Why would Master Hayde leave the frontlines? Is it for the sake of participating in the competition?"
"I heard that Grandmaster Hayde's old injuries relapsed and he had to rest for half a year. It's probably because his injuries haven't healed yet. Taking part in the [Infinite Machine Wheel Competition] is just a way to relax. "
…
Several guards were investigating the scene while discussing in low voices.
Soon, they were no longer in the mood to discuss. The results of the investigation were shocking. The two soldiers who were killed were both powerhouses of the Third Realm, but they were killed in a single encounter.
Judging from the scene, two soldiers were killed from a distance while they were escaping.
Based on what Grandmaster Hayde had said, the strength of the culprit was definitely at level five.
"Report to the higher-ups. This isn't something we can handle," someone said.
…
At the edge of Nan Luo City's southern district, near the southern suburbs, a flash of light appeared. Lady Glimmer flew out from within.
Looking at the distant Black Sea Coast covered in thick fog, Lady Glimmer heaved a sigh of relief.
"That was close! If I hadn't left fast enough, I would have been detected by the detection waves. That would have been troublesome. "
Although she didn't know who that Grandmaster Mechanic was, Grandmaster Mechanics weren't people to be trifled with. Once she was entangled, it would be hard to escape.
At this moment, a message came from her communicator. Opening it, Lady Glimmer's expression changed, revealing the joy of surviving a disaster.
"Grandmaster Hayde, he came to participate in this time's Mechanic Competition. Luckily, I retreated just now …"
Lady Glimmer clutched her towering chest. Her palms were covered in cold sweat. Just now, she had really walked into the hands of the Grim Reaper.
On the list of the Black Net organization, Grandmaster Hayde of the Black Steel Volcano was ranked in the top five of the list of Sixth Realm powerhouses.
A Sixth Realm Combat Grandmaster Mechanic. Just thinking about it made one's heart tremble.
Moreover, Grandmaster Hayde was a Sixth Realm Mechanic who frequently fought with the Oceanic Beast Army. It was said that he had once annihilated three Oceanic Beast Armies by himself.
Lady Glimmer asked herself if she could face Grandmaster Hayde head-on with her own strength, she might not even be able to last three rounds.
"During the Mechanic Competition, we need to keep a low profile. Don't expose the members of the organization near the southern district."
Lady Glimmer held her communicator and issued an order.
…
Morning.
Hayashi River woke up. He had only slept for three hours. However, compared to the days in the White Dwarf Kingdom, he had slept a lot.
Beep, beep, beep …
On the table, Blue Kitty squatted in front of the light screen, gnawing on a small dried fish. Its small eyes stared at the screen without blinking, and its tail swayed from time to time.
"What are you looking at? Why aren't you sleeping … "
Hayashi River got up. He was very puzzled. This little fellow seemed to have a tendency to have trouble getting out of bed. Why did it wake up so early today?
Walking to the front of the table to take a look, Hayashi River instantly understood. This little fellow was admiring the results of the past two days.
In the past two days, Blue Kitty could be said to have a war of words on the forum with countless trolls.
Because of its cramping hand speed, it could argue with more than ten people at the same time. On a few forums, it had already gained a group of fans.
A little kitty was the leader of the trolls!?
No matter how Hayashi River thought about it, he felt that it was very strange.
Blue Kitty, on the other hand, was enjoying it. When it had nothing to do, it would look at the crazy comments of its fans.
"Don't look anymore. How's the progress of what I ordered you to do? "
Hayashi River rubbed the little fellow's head and asked.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty meowed and cut to another screen. This was its masterpiece in the past two days.
Hayashi River browsed through it and nodded in satisfaction. The contents of these posts were half true and half false. From various aspects, the spearhead was directed at the new Consul.
Of course, these posts were useless now. However, once the forces of South Rudra Province really wanted to target the new Consul, these posts would become sharp knives.
Especially since the new Consul had personally ordered the seizure of his personal mechanical workshop. The evidence of this matter was already there.
Even if Hayashi River was willing to let it go, if the other forces of South Rudra Province wanted to find fault with him, this would also be a fatal weakness.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty meowed and cut to another screen. It was today's hot news.
"The South Rudra Province team that participated in the Mechanic Competition has been investigated by the Municipal Association of Machinists for violating the rules …"
"Miss Maybley from the Campbell Family has gone missing. If you have any clues, please report to the garrison and the military to receive double the reward …"
"The Mechanic Masters who participated in the [Infinite Machinery Competition] have arrived in South Rudra City. This is a grand gathering of Mechanic Masters in the Eastern and Western Continents …"
Hayashi River was a little surprised when he saw this hot news. He hadn't expected South Rudra City's Association of Machinists to react so quickly and punish Kenya and the others overnight.
As for the matter regarding Maybley, he already knew about it last night. This matter made Su Duanpo very angry.
The original plan was for the garrison and the military to work together and capture Maybley at lightning speed.
Hayashi River approved of this plan even though Maybley was the leader of the Black Net organization and had to be very powerful.
However, this was South Rudra City, the center of South Rudra Province. The garrison and the military had many powerhouses, and Lahoe City's military was also involved. If they worked together, unless they were unparalleled level-6 powerhouses.
Otherwise, Maybley wouldn't be able to escape even if she had wings.
However, South Rudra City's military had taken the initiative to send people to capture Maybley and alert the enemy.
This made South Rudra City's garrison and Lahoe City's military very angry. It was said that they bickered until dawn because of this matter last night.
"Is Miss Shimmer's strength at level-5? Now that she has disappeared, it will be very difficult to capture her again … "
Hayashi River frowned. If a level-5 powerhouse did not appear, it would be very difficult to capture her.
However, his goal was not Miss Shimmer. Instead, he wanted to uproot the Black Net organization in South Rudra City.
"The Black Net organization will definitely make a move during the battle with the Qiu family …"
As he thought about this, Hayashi River circulated his mental energy. A sound came from another room, and the [Phantom of the Void Bones] pushed open the door and walked out.
Its body, which was glowing with a faint black luster, started to change rapidly and became exactly the same as Hayashi River's.
Hayashi River raised his hand and activated [Materialized Mental Energy], which covered the surface of the [Phantom of the Void Bones]. Its aura was exactly the same as his own.
With this appearance, even the people closest to Hayashi River would not be able to tell if they did not interact too much with each other.
Yesterday, Hayashi River had told Lu Xiong and the others, as well as Su Duanpo and Barce, that he had suddenly come up with a brilliant idea and wanted to stay in the lab for a period of time.
The machinist's reason was more than sufficient, and no one doubted it.
At this moment, Mossy Bone's silhouette appeared. When it saw the two Hayashi River's, it could not help but be stunned for a moment before coming to its senses.
"What are you going to do?" Mossy Bone asked, puzzled.
"Mr. Mossy Bone, the [Phantom of the Void Bones] will pretend to be me and stay in the lab for half a month. If anything unexpected happens, remember to deal with it. Also, let me know. "
Hayashi River said with a smile.
"What about you? Where are you going … "
Mossy Bone was very puzzled. Their plans in Nanluo City had been carried out in an orderly manner.
The [Phantom of the Void Bones] was a great fighting force on their side, but it was going to be wasted in the lab for half a month. Hayashi River had never mentioned this plan.
Hayashi River pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to participate in the [Infinite Machine Wheel Competition]."
Hearing this, Mossy Bone immediately understood. "You're going to pretend to be a master machinist. It's not that fun. If your identity is exposed, you'll be in deep trouble. Moreover … "
Mossy Bone sized up Hayashi River and shook his head. "Although you're a genius machinist, this is a competition between master machinists from all over the continent. I'm afraid you'll be at the bottom. The qualification for the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin] isn't that easy to get. "
Hayashi River shrugged. "I know it's very difficult, and I'm very busy. But since I'm invited, I'll go and participate."
"Uh …"
Mossy Bone felt that something was wrong. He was invited?
"You've pretended to be a master machinist before?! How did you get certified as a master machinist? "
The next moment, Mossy Bone came back to his senses. He knew that Hayashi River's mechanical arm was the [Scaled Arm], made by a legendary master machinist.
Such a mechanical arm was actually a certification.
This kid pretended to be a master machinist. What exactly did he do …
Mossy Bone mumbled to himself. He could not be bothered to ask. "Alright then. I'll monitor the [Phantom of the Void Bones]. You have to be careful at the venue too. I've investigated. There are quite a few master machinists participating in the [Infinite Machine Wheel Competition]. Don't let them see through you. "
As he said this, he thought of something else. "What's the identity of the master machinist you're pretending to be …"
At this time, Hayashi River's figure changed. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a skinny middle-aged man. He wore a pair of thick glasses and changed into a dark brown mechanic robe. He looked somewhat weathered.
Mossy Bone sized him up. He felt that this appearance was somewhat familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
Then, he raised his hand, and a light screen popped up. The information of the master machinists scrolled quickly and stopped on a piece of information. The photo was exactly the same as the one Hayashi River was in.
The master machinist on this piece of information was Norbelin!
"You're … Norbelin? You're pretending to be Norbelin … "Mossy Bone exclaimed.
"No, I'm pretending to be Norbelin. Norbelin is the identity I'm pretending to be," Hayashi River corrected him.
Mossy Bone's image became blurry. As an artificial intelligence, he thought of countless possibilities in an instant. However, he still could not understand how a young Mechanic could be equivalent to a legendary master machinist.
"How did you succeed in your disguise …"
At this time, Mossy Bone could not help but ask.
