Chapter 62 Welcome to the city that never sleeps
[You are targeted by Gilman Elliott’s murderous intent. Evaluation: As long as you are not blind, I believe you can see it. Reward: Survival Points +2]
"..."
How could you not see it when such a thick barrel was pressed against your head?
Wayne smiled bitterly and said: "Boss Gilman, I just want to buy some materials to make mechanical puppets..." "
I told you, you are not welcome here." Gilman interrupted, "Please come back."
Marco looked at She slowly said: "Gilman, I think you have forgotten who saved you and who helped you settle in Custer..."
Snap.
A gunshot rang out, and a fire snake emerged from the musket under the skull chandelier, hitting the ground in front of the two people.
Gilman crossed his arms and said, "Things between wizards have nothing to do with anything else."
"Wizard?"
Marco said sarcastically: "He's just a high-level apprentice who failed to advance. You don't really think you can do anything with these things." Will you keep me?"
Senior wizard apprentice?
Wei En glanced at the mechanical weapons around him. The firepower in this store could almost catch up with a reinforced platoon.
Gilman was unmoved and said coldly: "You can try!"
Marco's eyes darkened, "It's really..."
Wayne pulled him, shook his head and said: "Forget it, Brother Marco, since Gilman If the boss doesn't agree, then go look elsewhere."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Seeing him nod, Marco turned around and walked out without saying a word, swinging the red ponytail on the back of his head. It's very rhythmic.
Wayne glanced at Gilman again and followed him out of the store.
But what he doesn't know is——
Not long after they walked out, all the mechanical weapons in the store fell down one after another.
It was as if it had been scratched by a sharp blade, and it was broken in half. The gears, parts and various transistors inside were scattered all over the place.
Gilman looked at all this and bit his pretty lips, "I'm still so hot-tempered... It's a shame." On the
other side,
Marco walked far away in silence, and then said: "Sorry, I didn't buy what you wanted. Something."
"It's my fault," Wei En said with a smile: "If I hadn't admitted that I was a wizard apprentice of the Ghost School just now, I should have been able to buy it smoothly." This time he really suffered a loss from being too sincere,
but he also How do you think that wizards from other schools have such deep resentment against the Ghost School?
Forget it, next time he meets wizards from other schools, he will know how to communicate.
If you want to say it, just say that you are a wizard of the esoteric school. You won't be disliked anymore, right?
"By the way, Brother Marco, listening to the conversation you just had with Gilman, when she first came to Custer, did our logistics department help her?"
Marco nodded, "It happened two years ago, when she was Someone caught him..."
It turned out that Gilman was kidnapped and sold to Custer.
Work as slaves in the Basil neighborhood, doing various hard work, such as making conveyor belts, or using mechanical vehicles to help loading and unloading goods for passing merchant ships.
Later, the person who bought her was contaminated by the Red Moon and turned into a mutant, almost eating her.
It was Yegor and Marko who saved her.
Since then, Gilman has settled here and opened a shop specializing in selling some mechanical equipment.
"That's it..."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I also know a place that has what you need."
Marco looked around and grinned: "It's not far from here."
"Really?"
"Just come with me."
"Okay."
Wei En was ready to give up for the time being, but he didn't expect there to be other places to go.
Originally, he wanted to purchase some semi-finished machinery and tools through Gilman, which would greatly speed up his production of mechanical puppets.
It's a pity...

On
August 12, 1578 in the New Calendar, the Custer City State Council, the Inquisition, the Secret Investigation Department, and the City Guards jointly investigated, and signed by the Consul Lord Samir, the following announcement is made:
At 11 o'clock this morning, the attack that occurred in areas 1-30 of Dumitru Street was determined to be carried out by the Yongsheng Club. The incident resulted in the death of 25 city-state citizens and 78 injuries..." the Secret Investigation Department is in
charge The “suicide birds” who spoke out read out the investigation report with sad and helpless expressions.
Facing reporters from large and small newspapers, they had to be careful with their words to avoid being caught.
"...Finally, the parliament has issued an order to track down the Thousand-faced Claire of the Eternal Life Society and give the city-state an explanation." As soon as he finished speaking, the
surrounding reporters rushed forward and surrounded them. .
"Excuse me, does Dawn Church accidentally injure citizens?"
"We need more detailed truth..."
"..."
If Wei En saw such a scene, he would probably instantly return to the press conferences in his previous life. What a shame. resemblance.
And where the reporters couldn't see them, two figures, one red and one white, stood high up, watching them silently.
"Sorry Alais, I have caused trouble to you again this time."
"Andrews, I would also like to thank you for your rescue." Alais shook his head, "I wonder who the guardian knight was?"
"He came from Clander," Andrews said with a gentle smile: "He still needs to adapt to Custer's rules."
Alais said noncommittally: "The glory of the dawn always favors Clander. "
No, no, no, this time is different..."
"Because of the candidate for the saint?"
"You know?"
Alais looked at the complainants downstairs who were being tortured by the reporters. "Early this morning, the Parliament passed the meeting content."
"I'm sorry, you know, I'm doing it for Custer's own good..." "
Such words are always convincing from the mouth of you, the bishop. ."
Andrews heard the sarcasm in his words, but his face did not show any emotion. He still said with a smile: "It would be better to say that this is the choice of most people."
Alais tilted his head and looked at He said, "I don't think you came to me this time just to deal with me, right?" "
I need your help."
"Oh?"
"The candidate saint is my student. It takes too much time for her to grow up. So..."
"So," Alais took over his words and said calmly: "You want me to speed up her growth?" "Not just
you, but also some people in the Secret Adjustment Department."
"Conditions? "
I knew you would agree," Andrews thanked him sincerely: "The dawn will definitely bless you, Alais." "
You are probably old and confused, otherwise how could you not know that what I hate the most is you guys." Believers of the church...especially Dawn!"
"But at least you still remember that we grew up together in Bravo, came to Chatland together, and the hardships we experienced together, don't you?"
Alais didn't say anything more . What? He lowered his head slightly and looked downstairs calmly. The lenses reflected a ray of light, making it difficult for people to see his eyes clearly.
"Maybe..."
...
...
"Is this the place you were talking about?"
Wayne looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded. It was hard to believe that Marco would bring him here.
Marco raised his head and smiled proudly, "Welcome to the city that never sleeps, Wei En."
PS: If I say there is only one chapter today, will I be beaten?
PPS: I'm just kidding, there is another chapter that will be posted around 1 o'clock... I'm a bit slow in writing, sorry.
