Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3158 Pippi Castle
The dome that envelops Pipi Castle is golden, pure and dazzling.But the interior of Pippi Castle was gray and gray, the sky couldn't see its original color, it was as dark as a black sky before a storm.

And under such a dark sky, there is a ground paved with reinforced concrete, and a house with a pointed roof like a pyramid.

Call it the Pyramid Room for now.

This kind of pyramid room can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages. The poor pyramid room is made of spliced ​​metal plates with fancy colors; while the slightly better pyramid room is pure metal body without any patch.

Pyramid houses of different materials and sizes, the only similarity is that the spire of the pyramid house, that is, the place where the chimney is, is emitting the same billowing thick smoke.

Even if it was hundreds of meters away, Angel could smell the outrageous metallic smell in the thick smoke.

These black-gray thick smoke gathered in mid-air, forming a low-lying black cloud that pressed down on the city.

Seeing this, Angel already understood why the sky of Pippi Castle was so dark, which was caused by pollution.

In a trance, Angel had the illusion of being in Yirong Kingdom.The biggest advantage of Yirong Kingdom is its superior machinery; the biggest disadvantage is the poor quality air that can kill people.

"Although Pippi Castle does not have a strict division of blocks, it only has the distinction between inner and outer urban areas, and this place belongs to neither the inner city nor the outer city, but belongs to the transitional area." Luigi's voice came over: "Basically everyone living here It's from the Dome Guard, or in other words, it's Piluxiu who doesn't want to pay the air tax and wants to do heavy pollution experiments."

"Guards, I can understand. What is this air tax?" Angel looked at Luigi suspiciously.

Luigi: "It literally means that the inner city and the outer city have isolation enclosures, which can purify the pollution generated by the experiment, but running the isolation enclosure requires a lot of crystallization, and Piluxiu needs to create the crystallization gap here. This is The so-called air tax."

"The air tax in the outer city is slightly lower, but the purification effect of the isolation cover is also weaker, and there is also some pollution in the air, but it is not as serious as the transition zone; there is basically no pollution in the inner city, but the air tax is relatively low. Taller."

Maybe this is also a feature of Pippi Castle?
Piluxiu is an inventor per capita.

And any invention requires a lot of trial and error experiments, and each experiment may bring pollution.Especially those heavy machinery and heavy chemical experiments, the pollution is even more serious... In order to have a good environment, Pi Luxiu invented the purification isolation cover, but the cost of operation is too high, which is why the air tax is called.

"In Pilusio's own words, this is the price of invention, it is an inevitable period of pain, but it can definitely be resolved." Luigi said at this time, and added: "This is what the Grand Duke Pixiu said. After he finished speaking, many Piluxiu put his own invention direction into the isolation cover, and devoted himself to the development of isolation cover with low energy consumption and high purification efficiency. Although it has not yet achieved results, according to skin With Lu Xiu's passion for invention, it probably won't take many years before he can invent it."

Luigi said quite emotionally.

In other aspects, Piluxiu is everyone's favorite, but in terms of invention enthusiasm and invention results, they have to admit that they are very good at it.

"Who is the Grand Duke Pixiu you are talking about?"

Luigi: "The current ruler of Pippi Castle, like... the king?"

Angel nodded understandingly, it seems that Grand Duke Pixiu is the person in power here.

"Is he an inventor too?"

"It is, but his invention, I remember nothing particularly outstanding; but his elder brother, and his father, are well-known inventors among Pilushio." Luigi said at this time, also by the way. Look at the family of Grand Duke Pixiu.

In short, a family of inventors.Grand Duke Pixiu was able to sit in the position of power, not only because of his own talent, but also because of the shadow of his elders.

Although Grand Duke Pixiu himself didn't have much invention ability, he was very aware of the importance of inventions to Piluxiu. It has indeed brought the Piluxiu family to a new height.Many high-tech inventions were invented by commoner Pi Luxiu.

Inventions such as the long feet on the dome and the isolation cover are all inventions of the commoner Pi Luxiu.

When Grand Duke Pixiu is vigorously promoting inventions, he is also promoting Piluxiu's excellent inventions to the outside world. The reason why Piluxiu can support this multi-ethnic routine gathering is due to the efforts of Grand Duke Pixiu.

Judging from the current situation, Grand Duke Pixiu is a "Master".

While chatting about Piluxiu's current situation, they moved forward, and soon reached the depths of the transition zone.

Along the way, Angel also saw a lot of Piluxiu.

Their appearance is similar to the Duoyi I saw before. They are all green-skinned dwarves, most of which are less than one meter long.The only difference is that Duoyi's clothes are very luxurious, while those of Pi Luxiu's are very casual.

However, because they don't dress well, Angel also solved a doubt that had arisen in his heart when he saw Duoyi: Does Piluxiu have hair?

The answer is: Yes.

It's just very sparse, it looks like there are only a hundred hairs on the top of the head?
With such volume, combined with their shiny foreheads and big bull eyes, they look even more "smart".

"These are commoners Pixiu." Luigi: "In the past many years, they have no rights, starting from the Grand Duke Pixiu...not right, starting from the father of the Grand Duke Pixiu, that is, more than 1000 years ago Only then did Piluxiu, a commoner, step onto the stage."

"Until now, the commoner Piluxiu is free to invent."

Speaking of this, a dark-faced Piluxiu ran out of a pyramid room filled with smoke not far away. He was dressed very poorly, but he was yelling, "Boom, Boom, this experiment! The project is over, damn it, I can only apply for a subsidy.”

Although it is not known what exactly he blew up, it seems that some experiment has gone wrong.

The poor Piluxiu can also invent, and can apply for subsidies without materials. It can also be seen from this that Grand Duke Pixiu has really opened up the era of invention for all.

Walking forward for several hundred meters, the road is still full of pyramid houses, most of which are full of smoke. There are only a few shops, which are full of neon lights, and there are light shields around them, which seem to isolate the pollution from the outside world.

"Mini isolation cover, one condensate every month, has no purification function except to isolate pollution." Luigi: "So, it can only be used as a shop, and no experiments can be done inside."

Looking at the colorful shops, Luigi sighed: "Unfortunately, except for a dye shop, all the shops here are closed. I guess they all went to the Crystal City, otherwise I can take you in for a walk."

Angel: "..." He didn't crystallize, and it was useless to stroll around.Moreover, you can also go shopping when you go to a party, so there is no need to waste time here.

They walked for another 5 minutes and finally saw the outer city of Pippi Castle.

The huge mask isolated the billowing pollution in the transition zone.

The building inside can be vaguely seen through the mask... It is still a pyramid room, but the size, specifications and external decoration of the pyramid room are different.

There are also guards in the outer city, but they are much fewer than the guards on the dome side.

When they saw Angor coming, the guards' eyes lit up, and there was a smirk on their faces, as if they regarded Angor as a fat sheep.

However, when they saw Luigi behind Angor, the expressions of the group of guards immediately changed. They stood up straight without looking sideways, as if they really regarded themselves as the pillars of the castle and the stars of the guards.

"Master Luigi, why are you here? Long time no see." A certain guard who changed his face before greeted him with a smile.

Luigi didn't intend to talk to the guard, and handed him the pass, saying, "We're going to see Barbaracon, find a separate trailer, and take us to the inner city."

Guard: "The fee..."

"Why don't you have the nerve to charge?" Luigi sneered, and wanted to say a few words, but considering the time issue, he didn't argue, and just said: "If you really want to charge, it will be charged to Barbaregon."

Hearing this, the guard Piluxiu said bitterly: "However, Mr. Barbaregon didn't pay the previous fee..."

Luigi: "Then go and rush."

"I, we dare not."

Luigi: "Then I'll urge you."

Guard Piluxiu thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Don't, when the time comes, Lord Barbaregon will really come, we are afraid that we will be swallowed by one bite."

Luigi sneered: "With its small stomach and small mouth, it is difficult to swallow an ant."

He personally felt nothing about Luigi's words, and Angel didn't feel that there was any problem when he heard it, but the guards of Piluxiu around them all backed up dozens of steps, with a look of fear on their faces.

There are even guards with weak legs and need to hold on to the railing with both hands.

"Big, big... big..." Piluxiu guarded: "Don't be joking, sir, we dare not listen to such words."

After the guard Piluxiu finished speaking, he looked at the other people around him: "You didn't hear that either, did you?"

All the Piluxiu nodded one after another, the fear on their faces undiminished.

It can be seen from this that they are very clear that the minefield of Barbaregon is the miniature body, and Luigi dared to say this kind of thing.They dare not speak at all, let alone listen.

"Count." Luigi complained angrily.

As if the guard Piluxiu didn't hear it, he bowed his waist and signaled Luigi and Angel to go forward: "I will arrange a separate trailer for the two of you now, and the fee, fee... will be recorded in..."

His eyeballs flicked around, and finally fixed on a nearby guard Piluxiu who was lying limp on the ground: "It's on your head."

In the eyes of the other party who were about to cry without tears, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master, I will lead you the way."

On the way to the trailer station, Luigi said to Angel: "Actually, foreigners like us can ride trailers for free with the pass, which is stipulated by Grand Duke Pixiu."

"However, when it comes to such a small matter of decentralization, Piluxiu has many ways to drill, anyway, the final result is to accept the crystal."

"I gave it at the beginning, until Barbaregon told me the truth..."

Since then, Luigi has not given Jingjing anyway.

Luigi's words did not deliberately avoid the guards of Piluxiu. The other party clearly heard it, but did not make any rebuttals, and even said with a smile: "This is actually not a doorway, but a business opportunity."

"Besides, the Grand Duke knew about this matter and did not stop it, which means that this matter can be done."

Luigi said unhappily: "The Grand Duke Pixiu didn't stop it because it's not a big deal, and there are few outsiders who come to your Pipi Castle."

"My lord, I don't understand. It's just that there are few people coming, so we have to seize the hard-won business opportunities." Piluxiu guarded with a look of course.

Luigi was speechless, but he didn't bother to refute. He just turned his head and said to Angel silently: Look, this is Pilusio.

……

The so-called trailer is a bit similar to the aerial tree and vine bus in the barbaric cave, but the bus in Pippi Castle is already a full metal carriage, and the track above the head also covers the entire inside and outside of the castle.

What they are riding is an aerial trailer, which can quickly reach the inner city from the outer city by means of the tracks extending in all directions.

And Barbaregón is in the inner city.

The interior space of the trailer is quite spacious, but the seat height is a bit low, so low that they can't sit down at all, but this is normal, after all, the trailer fits Pilusio's height better.

The speed of the trailer is very fast, a bit faster than the tree and vine bus, but its shortcomings are also obvious,

That is, when it is traveling on the track, it roars extremely loudly, and it will continuously emit steam. Although it will be absorbed by the isolation cover immediately, the people sitting in the trailer can still smell a little pungent.

However, these are minor issues.

As long as the trailer can reach the inner city quickly, this small problem is still acceptable.

From inside the trailer, you can clearly see the scenery of the outer city.

Indeed, compared with the transition zone, the outer city is much more comfortable. Although there are smoking pyramid rooms here, the smoke disappears in mid-air.

The ground of the outer city has also been repaired, flat and clean.There are shops and neon signs everywhere.

That is... [-]% of the shops are closed.

Not only are the merchants closed, but there are also very few Piluxiu. They probably all went to Crystal City.

It is worth mentioning that after observing the shops, Angel discovered that the largest and most numerous shops here are... dye shops and dental clinics?

This surprised Angel a little. He originally thought that the material store in Pippi Castle should be bigger and more, but it turned out to be quite different from what he thought?

Perhaps seeing Angor's doubts, Luigi on the side said, "Are you wondering why there are so many dental clinics and dye shops?"

"Actually, I also had this doubt when I first came here, and Barbaregon told me the answer later."

"Most of Piluxiu's teeth are fine, what's wrong is... their brains."
