Mage? Spell Engineer!

North of the North, the remains of the Dwarf Confederation. For sixty-three years, there has been no protection from climate magic here, and it is dead silent and blizzards rage as usual.

"Uncle, how about this?"

"Give it to me."

The boy received the order from the dwarf uncle and handed the things he picked up from the ruins to him. The dwarf took it and found it was a wine pot.

"It's just a pot, and there is no special pattern." Knowing that it was a pot from more than sixty years ago, the dwarf couldn't help but unscrew the lid and smell it. Hey, it still has a little smell. He looked at the material again, it was a metal that had been oxidized and turned black, it should be impure silver.

"But this pot is not deflated at all."

"No matter how intact it is, it is still a pot." The dwarf was about to throw the boy's goods aside, and suddenly understood what he meant: this is a ruin, and an ordinary silver pot should have been pressed into thin sheets long ago. But now its shape is not much deformed. The dwarf looked carefully with the light of the headlamp and exclaimed in surprise: "I was wrong."

Under the blackened silver skin, it was shiny and had a little rainbow light. It was clearly made of fine gold. I don't know why the original owner wanted to hide his wealth in a low profile and plated the fine gold wine pot with a layer.

"Good boy." The dwarf wanted to rub his head, but the boy was already seventeen years old and couldn't touch it at all.

They were a pair of scavengers. The human boy was called Alec and the dwarf uncle was called Vog. The tall and short team carefully explored the ruins. Sometimes they would smell a long-lasting stench. In this case, they would quickly take a detour.

"One, two, three." Alec and Vog exerted their strength and lifted the lead sheet that blocked the road together. Suddenly, a strong cold air rushed in, whistling from the uncovered lead sheet, and the flying snow cut the boy's freckled face like a knife.

They arrived at the center of the city, the ruins of the big elevator. Unexpected situations occurred again. A whistle piercing the wind and snow was deafening.

"It's broken, let's go!" Originally, Vog planned to seal the lead sheet and continue to go deeper into the ruins, but after the whistle sounded, he changed his mind, untied a sledgehammer from behind, and smashed the fixings around the lead sheet without caring about the risk of collapse.

Bang! After kicking the lead sheet away, the dwarf pulled the boy into the ice and snow.

The boy looked up and saw the steel frame structure that was interlaced and overlapped with each other carrying the snow. It made a groaning sound under the wind, dividing the sky at the collapsed hole into extremely fine pieces. He was inexplicably sad and tried to imagine what the city looked like originally.

"Why are you still standing there? Climb up quickly." The dwarf urged Alec to take out the climbing equipment from his backpack. At this moment, they were like professional adventurers. Whether they were going deep underground or climbing up at this time, they were extremely skilled.

Alec knew why Vog was anxious. When they climbed to the upper middle level of the ruins, they could already hear creepy roars.

There are many aboriginals who cannot rest here. Although the authorities have tried to clean it up, there are always gaps that cannot be detected, and finally these undead souls linger here. Although they are no longer active in recent decades, the whistle that resounds through the world like just now will definitely wake up these zombies.

We are almost at the upper level. The boy's palms are full of sweat. His body is lean and strong, and all his muscles are tense at this time. Although Walker is big and strong, he has obviously better physical strength, and he also climbs up silently.

Something was pushed down, and a series of hitting sounds were heard in the steel frame ruins of the big elevator. Alec's heart was clenched. This is the sonata of death. It will have a chain reaction. The continuous knocking will wake up more zombies, and then they will move along the sound source, making more noise, and finally rushing in frantically.

There were still thirty meters to go. He estimated the distance to the entrance of the ruins, threw out the climbing rope, and successfully fixed the claw hook on the exposed metal parts.

Ha. Haha. A breathing sound came from Vog's side. A zombie discovered them! Vog was a few meters slower than Alec, and now he was facing the rotten claws extending from the cracks of the ruins. Because it was close to the ground, the cold prevented the corpse from pus or nourishing microorganisms, but shrunken and broken, exposing gray tendons and mutated sharp nails.

Damn it! The dwarf wanted to touch the pistol on his waist, but the zombie was one step faster and grabbed him with its claws. In order to dodge, the dwarf let go of the rope in an instant and landed a few meters. Although he avoided the attack, he was farther away from the exit and Alec.

There is no worst, only worse, his rope was also gnawed by the zombies.

The dwarf heard roars from three sides. Failed. He said to himself.

Over the past few decades, scavengers have been wandering around various cities in the Dwarf Confederation, digging up all kinds of valuable things. In addition to precious metal products, all cultural relics with text or exquisite patterns can be sold at a good price.

Vog is one of them. He inherited his father Singrev's ability and sledgehammer, and acted alone after his father could no longer do it. Until he adopted a human orphan, when he was 14 years old, the two began to shuttle through the ruins as a team.

"Go! Go." Vog accepted his fate. Most scavengers will die in accidents. He thought about it and shouted to the boy: "Don't come back after you go out. This business is simply unsustainable."

As he said, he swung the hammer and smashed the zombie monster that looked like his compatriot into mud. However, Vog's luck today was particularly bad. Not to mention the culprit, the whistle, and now the place where he made an emergency landing was a tunnel break, and monsters were coming from the darkness.

Alec was also in a hurry. He also planned to make an emergency landing. However, the rope under him was gone. There was only a zombie head sticking out from the crevice of the rock. He was so angry that he landed at the end of the rope and stepped on it hard.

He was still a few meters away from where Vog had made his forced landing. He was about to take out a spare rope and throw it to Vog. The dwarf caught a glimpse of the boy in the corner of his eye and shouted anxiously: "Stupid ass! You can't even get away! Do you know why my father and I act alone? Don't hesitate."

He took out his pistol and fired a round quickly. Vog shouted: "Get out!"

"We have found underage male humans and adult dwarves. The Delta team will descend to carry out rescue."

"Got it. Be careful of the complicated situation in the ruins."

Just when the scavenger master and apprentice were desperate, three fast-moving air cavalrymen fell from the sky. One of them picked up Alec directly, and the other two landed on the platform where Vog was. One of them pulled out a small metal cylinder from his chest, pulled the safety and threw it at the attacking zombies. In an instant, the clusters of thunder and lightning forks penetrated countless targets and illuminated the pits.

The remaining air knight grabbed Vog's right arm: "Please cooperate with the rescue and put down the heavy weapons and backpacks."

"Then you might as well let me die here."

The knight who threw the lightning weapon turned around. He heard Vog's speech, nodded to his colleague, grabbed the dwarf's other arm, and the two took off successfully.

Flying out of the pit full of death, the air knight brought the rescued two people onto the "Silver Dragon" airship.

"It was you who blew the whistle!"

"We are issuing a warning, Mr. Vog." The captain who was familiar with the dwarf explained: "A "roar" bomb will soon fall in the nearby area. All units are prepared to resist interference, and we will return to the port as soon as possible."

The airship traveled south, penetrated the severe wind and snow, and arrived at their base, the capital of the Dalberg Border Earldom, and the only existing urban settlement. Even during the day, searchlights are needed to illuminate the sky to point the direction of the airship.

"Boy, come with me to the stern." The air knight who was angry with Alec removed the maneuvering device at this time, but she was still wearing sunglasses and tapped the frame with her fingers: "Do you have this?"

"I have snow blind glasses." Alec took out the goggles he made. The main body was a thin bone with a horizontal groove in the middle. It should be worn when moving on the ground covered with heavy snow.

"Then I'll give you a pair."

Alec carefully took the sunglasses and put them on himself, and went to the stern without knowing why. Through the porthole, they saw a vast expanse of white.

"Do you know what "roar" is?"

"It is said that it is a powerful bomb that is specially used to deal with monsters at the legion level."

"That's right, when people on the ground can't cope with it, it will fall from the sky."

As he said, a light spot burst out from the skyline behind the "Silver Dragon" airship, and then a mushroom cloud rose. The flying snow was pushed by the air wave and accelerated suddenly, and it fell on the glass with the sound.

"The landing point is getting closer and closer to the city." The air knight said worriedly.
