Chapter 69: Flesh and Blood are Bitter and Weak
Chi——
Along with the white steam that evaporates and spreads, there is a low roar from the core of the steam.
A slender and strange figure came from outside the door, attracting the attention of others.
This man had thick black short ear-length hair and a very pale complexion, as if he had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
There was a slight crimson color in those obsidian-like pupils.
If you just look at her exquisite facial features and beautiful face, you might think she is an elegant and noble lady.
But when Xia En's eyes fell on this person's right arm and left leg, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
There is no skin or flesh that humans should have.
Instead, there is a mechanical structure composed of gears, connecting rods and pipes.
Or...
Steel prosthetics!
Obviously, their source of power is the steam engine that sprays thin white steam!
“Hey, hey, hey, get the fucking wine out!”
“My little darlings can’t wait.”
As soon as this man opened his mouth, he destroyed all the elegance and beauty he had.
A girl quickly brought the drink with a smile on her face.
The weirdo with the steam prosthetic arm did not drink, but poured a large amount of wine directly onto the steam device on his right arm.
Chi—
Steam rising with a strong smell of wine.
The core of it seems to be humming happily, and the efficiency of operation is increasing instead of decreasing.
In the vapor of alcohol evaporating, the man's pretty face also turned a little red, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he was drunk.
Is there anyone else who drinks like this?
Xia En’s mouth twitched.
However, the reaction of the steam device after drinking is a bit like the state of Xiao Hei's budding consciousness.
In addition, what this person calls them...
Could it be said that these steam engines have also given birth to original "machine souls?"
"So, the steam engine held by this person is definitely not There are only two of them."
"Maybe there is a way to buy a steam turbine."
Xia En was thinking, silently observing this person and preparing to talk.
But before he could get closer, another burly man with a stubble on his face walked up to him with a grin.
"Hey, girl, do you want to have a drink with me?"
As soon as these words came out, I wonder if it was Xia En's illusion, and the surroundings seemed to be suddenly quiet for a moment.
Many of the regular patrons of the tavern cast sympathetic glances at this burly man with a beard.
The tavern girls walked away silently carrying their drinks.
"Huh?"
Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, the blast of a steam engine suddenly sounded in his ears!
Boom! ! !
The white air waves expanded suddenly, and the hot air rolled in.
Many wine bottles fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
When Xia En opened his eyes again.
I saw that the strong man who was dozens of centimeters taller than the steam monster had been grabbed by the neck and smashed to the floor by "her" right hand made of a steam mechanism.
"Idiot! I am a man!"
Xia En: "..."
To be honest, he didn't recognize the gender of this weirdo.
Xia En's appearance is actually a bit handsome, but after all, his height is here, and he is tanned by the sea breeze, and his figure has become stronger and stronger.
Now, no one calls him "boy" anymore.
But the little man in front of me is really indistinguishable from male to female!
Skin that is whiter and smoother than an egg, slender and petite figure, cute and delicate face like a porcelain doll...who the hell can recognize this?
The old guests nearby whispered quietly.
“This must be the seventh unlucky guy this month, right?”
“Who makes Master Fei Ya look so cute? If it’s my first time to meet him, maybe I want to try to strike up a conversation."
One of them sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that he is a man!"
"Isn't it better to be a man?"
"?"
Xia En listened for a while, turned to look at the beautiful young man named "Fei Ya", and found that after he taught the strong man who approached him a lesson, he opened another bottle of wine and poured it into the left The leg steam switch is on.
In the rising alcohol vapor, Xia En walked to Fei Ya.
"Oh? Another one?"
Fei Ya raised her beautiful eyebrows, her body tensed slightly, and she was ready to take action.
At this time, Xia En looked at the steam mechanism on Feiya's arm and asked.
“What are their names...?”
Fei Ya was startled. He had met many people who struck up a conversation in the tavern, but this was the first one with such a strange angle. indivual.
He hesitated, but replied: "They are Milly and Dutch."
"Milly likes to drink red wine, and Dutch prefers the aroma of malt."
Upon hearing this, Xia En knew that he had hit the right topic and continued to speak with a slight smile.
"To be honest, I also have a little thing similar to them. It's called Xiao Hei, and it's my most important partner."
Fei Ya's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Could it be that...you are also the one who can hear their voices?"
"...too?"
Xia En's heart moved slightly and he continued to chat casually with Fei Ya.
Seeing this scene, other people in the tavern were quite surprised.
There is someone who can actually have a good conversation with that Fei Ya?
Who is this guy?
Is it possible that his head was also hallucinated by the hot steam?
Perhaps it was under the influence of the alcohol in the air, but within a short time, Xia En and Fei Ya quickly became familiar with each other.
"Hey, brother, I think you have a great future! We are so in love with each other..." Feiya tried her best to raise her hand, put her hand on Xia En's shoulder, and asked drunkenly.
“Are you interested in joining the Church of Steam?”
“Church of Steam?”
Xia En was stunned for a moment.
He has heard of the name of this church, but compared to the Deep Sea Church, this can only be regarded as a small sect with not many believers.
"Yes, I wonder if you have ever heard of a sentence..."
Fei Ya's expression instantly became serious, even with a hint of piety and solemnity.
“Steam is the breath of gods, and steel is the bridge between humans and gods.”
“Human flesh and blood is so weak and weak. If you want to transform into a more advanced life, you can only Take refuge in the arms of the God of Steam and Steel!”
As the young man spoke, the steam engines in his arms and legs buzzed, and the gears and connecting rods vibrated in response, as if they were singing an ancient mysterious hymn.
The white steam is endowed with certain sacred characteristics, making it appear quiet and pure.
Can drive away evil and soothe restless hearts.
In fact, Feiya is the pastor of the Church of Steam, and a first-level professional who has embarked on a secret path.
The steam that diffuses at this time is actually a kind of "magic" and naturally possesses mysterious and extraordinary power.
But for some reason, Xia En felt a little uncomfortable when he was in the steam.
It’s like... these steams are repelling and expelling themselves?
At the same time.
Feiya frowned suddenly, her face became extremely gloomy, and she asked.
“Heresy!”
"Why do you have the aura of heresy!?"
