Turning a corner, Yao Yan saw the gate of the guild.

This is a dilapidated two-story wooden house. From the outside, the two-story wooden house is not even much taller than the original one-story house in the world. Although it is low and simple, it was built by my father and his friends. Every brick and tile is all my hard work.

The main entrance of the guild is not high. The four-character plaque "Zhu Lei Guild" hanging on the door is plaque that is not too tall, even Yao Yan, who is not as tall as a slight jump, can be reached with just a slight jump. Although the sign that has long been mottled, although it has not been painted, is always washed clean by his father. In the sun, the edges and corners that have long been polished are shining brightly.

On the side of the guild gate, there is a simple shed made of birch bark and branches. There are many tools nearby. For a long time, my father has been here.

This shed is my father’s simple studio.

Before he could get to the studio, Yao Yan heard a tinging sound from inside. It seemed that his father was repairing something.

Hearing a voice from outside the door, the father said without looking back: "Xiaoyan, are you back?"

"Well, I'm back." Yao Yan put the bag in his hand on the workbench, and the copper coins in the bag made a jingle sound, which was very pleasant. Just now, Yao Yan went to send someone else's repairs back, and what was included was the reward.

The door-to-door delivery service was only proposed after Yao Yan came. I have to say that this made my father’s repair shop business much better.

Of course, this is also because now my dad has more help from Yao Yan, but my dad used to have to stay in the studio all day.

"Sit there and rest for a while, it's so hot." My father didn't ask Yao Yan to give him away anything else, and turned around and started knocking and hitting again.

Yao Yan took off the turban wrapped around his head and exhaled, sticking out his tongue like a dog. In such hot weather, the turban made him feel so stuffy.

Grasping the wooden cup on the table, Yao Yan poured a stomach full of cold water, then squatted down in front of his father and helped him.

Compared with Yao Yan, his father is simply a giant. He is six feet two in height and weighs a calf. Yao Yan's head reaches his chest.

Dad has some of the blood of the Winter people in the Solar Mountains. The Winter people are born to endure high temperatures. They are natural blacksmiths, with innate exploration skills, and most of them are clever and skillful, and have the talent to understand machinery and devices. Because of this, Dad is the best blacksmith and mechanic in the entire Nam Town.

My father's face is always red, his fiery red hair is standing up one by one, his degenerated keratinized skin beside his ears is polished smoothly with files every day, and his thick beard on his mouth is always shaved cleanly.

Although he was already very old, his muscles still did not relax. If it weren't for the deep wrinkles on his face, it would be difficult to tell his age.

He was wearing a linen vest and thick leather gloves on his hands. Even in such hot weather, it was cool for him.

"Dad, what is this?" Yao Yan pointed his hand in leather gloves at a round bead in his father's hand.

"It's an energy bead, an extract of Li Yuanjing." said the father.

"Is this the energy bead?" Yao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise: "Is it the Magic Machinery? Dad, who is such a big deal?"

"A B-level adventurer." Dad saw Yao Yan's idea and pointed to the back of the studio. If you want to see it, you can go over and take a look, but don't touch it randomly.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm just looking! Wow!"

What can make Yao Yan exclaim is naturally not a B-level adventurer, but a magic car.

This is a world where magic, technology and more unknown civilizations are highly integrated. Each race has its own civilization, and the combination of various civilizations is particularly magnificent. After Yao Yan came here, he was immediately attracted.

For a former college student who is not good at the main business and proficient in miscellaneous studies, a wide range of hobbies seems to be a one-time report.

Yao Yan contacts the most are various machinery, whether it is magic, spiritual power, steam, electricity, energy, antimatter, etc., which can provide power to the machinery. However, the one Yao Yan has seen the most is steam-powered cars, because it is cheap, practical and easy to repair. Moreover, most of the adventurers active in this town are low-level mercenaries, and most of the machinery they can own are steam or internal combustion machinery. In other places, magic machinery is not considered high-end products, but it is extremely rare here.

This magic car has three wheels, and the shape is very similar to the agricultural three wheels that Yao Yan has seen. However, the wheels are much more than agricultural three**. In addition to a cab, there is also a truck bucket behind it, with some debris piled up inside.

"No... it's actually a three-wheeled design... Is this magic EMU used to transport goods?" Yao Yan circled around the magic EMU, "It's too wasteful to use a magic EMU design to transport goods. Steam is enough."

In my impression, the vehicles driven by adventurers who have been born and die should be fierce Hummers or cool Prince Motorcycles. It is hard for Yao Yan to imagine that those mercenaries drove a farm three-wheeled wheel to fight, explore, and avenge their grudges...

Moreover, this car actually looks more like a three-wheeled children's car that has been enlarged many times.

Moreover, this car looks like it has been aged for many years. I don’t know how many times the paint has been re-sprayed, and the body of the car is mottled. Many places have even been patched. The magic pipes have been aged a little, and there are traces of repair in many places. The wheels are obviously removed from other cars, and the color is different from the old and new. Yao Yan lowered his head and could see that the chassis of the car was bumpy, which obviously endured a lot of hardships.

"This is an experimental three-wheeled magic vehicle designed by Byrne Trading. It is called "Jane Anna". At that time, only more than 300 units were produced, but it was no longer sold due to various problems. This kind of car has been discontinued for decades. Now the Byrne Chamber of Commerce no longer provides after-sales service." Although my father has been staying in this small town, he seems to have a good understanding of all magic machinery. He said with all the data of this magic vehicle as he knows, and finally summarized it: "This car is actually quite valuable to collect, and it is a pity to use it to transport goods."

"Jane Anna? The naming rules of your Hannibal are very similar to those of you, Dad." Yao Yan said.

"Hannibal is an internal test model," said Dad, "How did you say that? God created men first, and then women."

Yao Yan circled around the car again, but he couldn't see why the car was named Zhen Anna. He returned to the studio and looked at the energy ball in his father's hand and said in surprise: "It's this kind of thing that can you buy our two guilds?"

"Actually, it's not worth a penny now." Dad smiled and threw the energy ball over. "The energy inside the energy ball has been exhausted."

Yao Yan held the energy ball in his hand and looked carefully. It was a transparent ball the size of a billiard ball. There were slight green lightning leaping inside the ball. It can be imagined that if the energy inside was not consumed, it should be an energy ball filled with green lightning.

"It's not exhausted yet!" Yao Yan said. Isn't there any green energy there? Although it's very rare.

"It's no longer possible to drive the magic motor." The father didn't raise his head, and Yao Yan said in surprise: "Then what they put this thing here means..."

"Modify the power source." said the father, "Now the magic movement system has been upgraded. There is no need for purified energy. Just use Li Yuanjing to drive it." said the father, and he raised a device in his hand.

Technology is moving forward, but using Li Yuanjing's magic system is not an improvement, but a compromise. Just like humans first invented gas engines and invented gas engines based on gas engines. Now, more and more people have changed engines to gas-type ones in order to avoid high oil prices.

As the number of Li Yuan crystals becomes smaller and smaller, the consumption of purifying Li Yuan crystals becomes increasingly unacceptable. Many people are no longer able to purchase high-priced energy beads, and have to sacrifice some of their performance to change the magic device to those that use Li Yuan crystals.

In the development of human society, compromise is everywhere, and this world is no exception. The world is not necessarily moving forward, and sometimes regression is also a necessary choice.

"Where is the master of this machine?" Yao Yan asked. He was curious about what a B-level adventurer looked like, whether he had three heads and six arms, five big and three thick.

"They should be visiting some friends." said the father, who meticulously dismantled the magic motive and replaced some parts inside.

Yao Yan nodded. He probably knew what these people were doing here. Some mercenaries who had magic machinery and were not very affordable would mostly choose to modify their magic machinery to Li Yuanjing here. At the same time, they could buy Li Yuanjing here at a relatively low price, and even went to the wasteland when they were free to find some Li Yuanjing.

As long as they have enough Li Yuanjing, they can carry out the next big adventure.

It can be said that this small town is just a supply station before their big adventure.
