Artificer Adventure Guide

Behind the second gate is a corridor.

Undecorated metal plates are laid up and down, left and right in the corridor. The magic patterns on the metal plates flicker with the rhythm of breathing, which looks very sci-fi.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Carl always feels that he has traveled to a pure sci-fi world again.

"Don't stand there, find the switch of this thing quickly, we have to stop the drill outside!"

Seeing that Carl has been standing still, Hope behind him slapped Carl on the back, and he was so painful that he gritted his teeth.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon. Alas, why can't you girls understand the power and beauty of this metal machine?"

Rubbing the back that had just been slapped, Carl muttered and walked forward.

"You girls? Besides me, are there others like this?"

Hearing Carl's whisper, Hope quickly approached and asked in a strange tone.

"That's the genius I told you about before. He took a part-time job as a mechanic. He didn't attend classes for a few days, but he got the first place in the exam."

"Why are you asking this?"

Looking at Hope strangely, Carl seemed not to notice the weirdness in Hope's tone.

"No, it's okay. Are you close to her?"

Turning his head away, Hope tried to restrain his tone and tried to find out more information about the other party.

"Ha! I am her thigh pendant. She is a mage of the School of Change. She usually makes alchemical potions for me to sell."

"But the mechanic's job she chose is battlefield craftsman. I designed her iron guard for her and gave her a name, Heavy Armor Bunny."

As they talked, the two had passed the corridor and came to the cab in front.

Looking at the seat and operating table that were higher than he jumped, Carl opened his mouth and was suddenly surrounded by a sense of powerlessness.

The operating table is a fully mechanical structure, and Carl's psychic power cannot press the buttons on it.

"Tsk, why are the giants so tall?"

Height is a boy's Achilles' heel.

Although Carl is only 14 years old and already 1.7 meters tall, he still feels a little discouraged when he looks at these things.

Hope on the side thought Carl was frustrated because he couldn't reach the console above, so he immediately patted his chest and said:

"Do you want me to carry you up? You should be able to reach it by stepping on my shoulders, right? If not, I can still perform two more violent moves today."

Looking at Hope with a serious face, Carl's eyebrows trembled twice, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party was serious or cricketing himself.

But thinking of Hope's tomboyish personality, Carl smacked his lips twice and nodded in agreement.

Stepping on a girl's shoulder, this experience is the first time in Carl's two lives.

The awkward feeling forced Carl to crack the button function on the console as soon as possible, but the more anxious he was, the more likely he would make mistakes.

After three consecutive failures, Carl gritted his teeth and climbed up by pulling a button on the console.

‘I should have brought some climbing ropes with me when I went out. ’

When Carl thought that his poor camp could be exposed at any time, he felt like a knife was stabbing his heart.

He had spent a lot of time to build it bit by bit!

“Crack”

Just when he stood firmly on the console, Carl didn’t know what he stepped on.

At the same time, a huge roar sounded outside the machine.

The tracks that were deeply stuck in the mud began to run, and the machine actually moved forward slowly in the violent shaking.

Inside the cab, the energy core containing orange-red liquid energy began to run.

Carl’s exploration dragon pattern had a strong reaction to the orange-red liquid energy.

‘Could this be something obtained after purifying the dragon crystal energy? The wizard tower of Akanix only uses the element pool for energy, but this thing is actually equipped with liquid dragon crystal? ’

Feeling the luxury of the ancient giants, Carl quickly stepped on the spot again, and then jumped towards the lever next to him.

The moving drill vehicle braked suddenly, and Carl and Hope were almost thrown out.

The drill and crawler tracks stopped running.

“It seems that this pull rod is the mechanism to control the drill, and the place just now is the button to control the opening and closing of the crawler tracks.”

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Carl let go of his hand and fell off the pull rod.

Hope below caught Carl, and the two looked at each other, and then sat on the floor together.

“It’s finally over! This is really torture.”

The result of an ordinary investigation turned into what it is now. Such a result made Hope and Carl feel tired and exhausted.

"Although I was prepared that this dungeon might not be simple, I really didn't expect that even the creations of the ancient giants would appear."

"Tell me, the reason why you can inexplicably master the power of the giant's way is possible because of this machine?"

Lying directly on the floor, Carl looked at Hope beside him and told his guess.

"I'm afraid it's not just that. The reason why those giant mushrooms can produce Eberron dragon crystals and petrify may also be related to this thing."

Looking up at the energy core, although Hope could not feel any sense of dragon crystal, these liquid energies felt too similar to dragon crystal, so she naturally guessed their origin.

After that, the two fell silent together.

"I think..."*2

After dozens of seconds, the two suddenly spoke at the same time.

The wonderful tacit understanding made Hope's face suddenly bring a look of relief. She closed her mouth and signaled Carl to speak first with her eyes.

"Well, I want to stay here for a while. The application of runes by giant civilization has always been the source of inspiration for my design of power armor. If I can figure out some of the principles in it, my combat effectiveness should be greatly improved."

Hearing Carl's words, Hope blinked.

"That, I actually want to say this. The runes of those giants contain some special power. I feel that I am resonating with them, so I also wanted to discuss with you to stay here for a while."

Before the crisis was not resolved, the two naturally tried every means to leave.

But now that the crisis has been resolved, it would be a waste if we don't use this place.

"Well, you stay here first, I'll go back to the cabin and bring everything I can use."

Considering that it's not easy for Hope to go back and forth, Carl took the initiative to take on the task of returning to the cabin.

When the two of them went out before, they didn't think they would stay outside for too long, so they didn't bring much food and fresh water with them.

Now that they have to stay here, they naturally have to go back and bring everything they can.

Compared to here, there is always a risk of exposure in the cabin.
