Fortunately, the Main Line is at Hogwarts

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

In the dark alley, there were only the footsteps and panting voices of the four of Charles, no one spoke, and everyone followed closely behind Charles.

The dark alley is not long, and the steam city is a typical engineering style. The roads are extremely complicated, short and crisscross, with a mechanical beauty like a chip diagram.

Soon Charles brought a few people back to the open area.

"here it is.."

Ciel knew all the maps in the game by heart, including here naturally. With his experience, finding a safe house was easy.

But first you need to determine where they are located.

The little guys had unconditional trust in Charles, so even Dudley, who was trembling with fear, followed closely by Charles' side.

Charles glanced around, his tired brain struggled to compare the surrounding terrain with his memory, and finally found their location after a while.

The edge of Steam City.

Fortunately, the out-of-control teleportation didn't directly throw them into the core area of ​​Steam City.

"Charles, charles, there! Look at that!"

Harry's low cry of surprise came suddenly in his ear.

Turning his head to look, he saw a strange-looking mechanical creature walking staggeringly from an alley. Its movements seemed to be stumbling, but its speed was not slow.

"Didn't you hear Charles say to keep quiet, you stupid bastard!"

Dudley was afraid that Harry would startle the monster, so he slapped Harry on the shoulder so hard that the latter gritted his teeth.

[Discovery target: conscientious robot]

[Name: Universal Service Robot Steam No. 3]

[Challenge Level: 30]

[Power: 800]

[Physique: 800]

[Remember: the more a robot resembles a machine, the safer it is, and vice versa. ]

"This way!"

Charles said that he also admired Dudley. He had just gotten rid of the threat of the Cyclops, and he was thinking of bullying Harry.

The upper part looks like a birdcage, and the lower part looks like an alarm clock. It is a universal service robot. Although there are no residents living in this city at all. . You don't have to, but I have to.

A service robot can tell by its name that it's not very good. If its challenge level is at level 30, it's hard to say.

Ciel recalled the strategy of Steam City in his head.

The whole body of the steam city is made of welded steel plates. The walls, the ground, and any place that can be seen are all large pieces of cold metal. The polygonal metal building has a strong steampunk style.

This is the typical painting style of the Crazy Alice series, with grotesque, heavy metal, freewheeling, and a touch of cute absurdity.

Steam City, as the name suggests, except for the metal joints that built the entire city, is steam that can be seen everywhere.

This city is in operation, and the huge steam core that does not know what is maintained is distributed in the very center of the city. It is constantly swallowing huge thick smoke every day and every night, making roaring noises and diffuse vibrations.

Huge gear winches are criss-crossed, crunching and turning with difficulty, and the scorching steam furnace spews out excess sulfur dioxide, showing its strong industrial atmosphere.

The strategy team called this thing Fairy Tale Technology.

Because it is not just an appearance or exists alone, it belongs to the country of Oz in the fairy tale country, Treasure Island that can man-made magic, and almost all the existence or behind-the-scenes organizations that can be related to black technology. It's all this steam fairy tale technology.

The difference lies in the direction of specialization and subsequent development.

The steam core of Steam City is one of the undecrypted backgrounds in the game. This thing swallows a huge amount of energy every day. It must be meaningful, but no one has explored what it is maintaining. It may be the whole Wonderland country of Crazy Alice, the whole country exists on this piece of steam technology.

But no matter what it maintains, the steam city at this time is a huge trouble for the four of Shire, not only the monsters that are rampant inside, but also the steam itself that emerges from every corner of the city all the time .

"laugh!"

Just when Charles ran down a staircase with a few people guided by a pipeline, a gap suddenly opened in the pipeline at the end of the staircase, a large amount of steam spewed out along the crack, and the scorching high temperature even blasted the steel plates around and on the ground It was hot and bright red in an instant.

For players, being able to come to Steam City, whether it is by virtue of magic or their own action skills, they can easily avoid these steams, but for the four little guys of Shire, all kinds of leaks and pouring from the pipes Steam is completely an obstacle to road closures.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"It's hot! It's hot! It's burning me to death!"

The sudden burst of steam startled everyone, and Dudley, who was running faster, almost fell into it. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. Even so, his hands were still severely damaged by the high temperature transmitted by the iron railings. He took a bite, leaving a large red mark.

"asshole!"

"go to hell!"

While blowing on his opponent, Dudley kicked the pipe next to him fiercely, scaring Harry and Hermione to drag him aside.

Is this idiot planning to kick another hole to steam all of them?

The steam came out of nowhere, and even Charles was frightened into a cold sweat.

The temperature of the steam in the pipeline is extremely high, because the pressure inside the pipeline is different from that of the outside world, the steam can even reach a high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees, and this level of steam can almost scald a person in an instant.

He ignored such an important question.

Sure enough, fatigue is prone to accidents.

Charles gritted his teeth, trying to get rid of the groggy feeling in his head, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, but because of this action, his head seemed to hurt even more.

Damn, now we have to consider the problem of steam road closures, and there are fewer routes to choose from.

The terrain of Steam City is very complicated, like a huge mechanical maze. Although steam has blocked some routes, after all, Charles has swiped the map countless times, and he can walk out with his eyes closed.

"look up!"

But when Charles closed his eyes and meditated, Hermione seemed to have discovered something, pointing to the sky and shouting.

Several people looked up and saw a few black mist floating in the sky, they slowly gathered from a distance, the speed was not fast, but they surrounded the place from all directions, giving people A great sense of depression.

[Discovery target: Vibrant resentment doll]

[Name: Resentment Doll]

[Challenge level: 30]

[Power: 600]

[Physique: 600]

[Remember: I need a companion, preferably Hasbro. ]

"Leave them alone, come with me!"

Charles forced himself to cheer up and said.

The Resentment Doll likes to chase after the target, except to kill them, the only way is to hide in the safe house.

And in his current state, it is really not suitable for long-distance treks, or challenging any difficult hidden routes. The safe house that is the closest and easy to reach is the most suitable choice.

Charles thought for a moment and found that there was one.

It's close by and not too difficult to get to, without jumping over a matrix of steps strewn with broken steel steps, or climbing over a giant melting furnace. . It just needs to climb a relatively narrow internal pipe.

Crawling through narrow pipes is not a great experience, but much safer than the previous options.

Charles immediately changed direction with several people.

"Keep going, we're almost there."

After running around for so long, even Shire couldn't hold on any longer, Harry and the others were even slower. Hermione tried to support Shire, but in fact it was Shire who was leading her forward.

Thanks to the resentment dolls above seeming to continue to gather, they didn't attack them immediately, which gave them time to escape.

Steam City has a sky, and the sky is filled with a crimson color, like the embers after a fire. . In addition, there is also a thick fog, which is the thick industrial waste gas gathered over the city, which lasts for a long time, just like the foggy London in those days.

The way down the stairs was blocked, so Charles could only turn back with Dudley and the others, and took several small paths and shortcuts in a crooked manner, and the group directly boarded the wall of the steam city.

They are on the periphery of the steam city, inside the outermost wall, and above the inner city wall. Although the height is slightly shorter than the outer wall, they can still see part of the steam city.

At the far end of the world, a huge metal ball is slowly rotating half on the ground and half on the ground. Its surface is covered with complex metal lines, and countless rivets and steel are welded on it, just like a man-made Mechanical Sun.

That's the heart of Steam City.

Surrounding the core is a circle of sunken deep pits. The pits are so deep that you can't see what's below them. Above the deep pits are countless mechanical life forms that are slowly floating in the air and freely floating.

The periphery of the trap is densely packed, like a circuit diagram of the Steam City itself, spreading out in all directions, like a maze with no end in sight.

The sky of Steam City is not alone either. Apart from the mechanical life floating near the core of Steam, there are also many complex and strange floating life forms sporadically scattered in other places in Steam City. Some of them look like machines, while others completely look like machines. Nothing came out.

Among them are a large number of resentment dolls.

The light that could not see its source was projected from the sky above the rich exhaust gas, and when it fell on the steam city, it had become dim and colorless, covering the entire steam city in a hazy crimson red like molten iron.

Ciel bit the tip of his tongue again to concentrate his attention.

He pointed far away to the side about a hundred meters away from several people. There, there were two steel walls with a height of about ten meters very close to each other.

The walls are part of the entire inner and outer wall structure, running staggered like gears. One side of the wall is close to the city wall, and the other side is connected to the buildings in the city.

The gap left in the middle is so thin that only two people can barely pass through.

"There is a hole in the middle of the wall near the inner city side."

"There is a secret pipeline through which we can reach a hidden safe house."

"When we get there, we'll be safe."

In the sky, thick black fog is gathering, and their number is increasing, like a cloud.
