Chapter 157: Immortal Castle

"Master, have enabled a comprehensive scan of the target location and mechanical life, know its location, should I forcibly...?"

Hongdou was reporting, Li Yu shook his head and refused, and then began to stroll and explore in this mobile castle.

This castle is indeed both safe and secret.

His high inspiration also indicated that this place is useful to him.

But after all, it is just a "whim" omen, still needing to be verified.

In case there is a trap, or something inappropriate, he can directly give up and move to live with the other eight God-Chosen.

The luxurious configuration of the Ancient God Train also made him very moved.

After walking out just a few steps, Li Yu roughly understood the style of the castle's internal structure; amidst the complexity and clutter, it revealed a hint of order, totaling five levels.

But it was not the kind of layer-by-layer accumulated construction, but rather interlocking, with very obvious traces of new and old.

When Li Yu finished looking at it layer by layer, room by room, a strange look couldn't help but appear on his face.

Then, it turned into a look of surprise.

In a trance, he realized that he seemed to have picked up a treasure?

"This seemingly broken mechanical castle has had at least four owners."

"And, not one of them is human."

"It can almost be determined that they are all alien or strange things."

"For example, the bottom layer, although most traces have been cleaned up, it can still be seen that it was designed as a warm nest, and its owner is likely a strange thing of considerable size, and it is a female, because there is a constant-temperature incubation room below."

"And that highest layer, which is the oldest and also the foundation for the castle's expansion, is cold and dark like a graveyard, but there are no signs of any flesh-and-blood creatures; could its owner be a mechanical monster?"

"But these are not important!"

"What really contains extraordinary value is that the several owners of this castle don't seem to be from the real world?"

"The castle itself is also likely to have drifted from other realms such as mystic domains, spirit realms, etc., accidentally entering the Wanfu City area."

"Doesn't this mean that this castle itself may possess functions like 【Traveling Between Worlds】 or 【Prowling the Spirit Realm】?"

Li Yu's thoughts turned a few times in his mind, and then he reached an incredible conclusion.

If there were others here, they would probably be unable to help but laugh at him.

Picked up a broken, dilapidated mechanical castle whose appearance is not as good as a patrol steam airship, and actually fantasized that this is a treasure that can travel between worlds; are you crazy?

While Li Yu was thinking, he was standing in front of a very special room on the third floor.

This room was clearly what the mechanical sound called the 【Collection Room】.

As for why it was not a storage room?

The reason was very simple.

Because the room in front of him was not messy at all, but rather spotless.

A large number of strange things, each of which was bright and flashing with various radiance, were neatly placed.

Dazzling, making people sigh in admiration.

However, if looked at closely, a large part of the collections had no value.

At least for practitioners, there was no value.

For example, the most conspicuous one in the room was a spiral-striped gemstone as thick as an adult's thigh, colorful and incomparably dazzling.

It looked precious, but it was not.

Its true origin: just the poop pulled out by a special strange thing called 【Star-Eating Monster】, except for the fluorescent pollution attached to the surface, there was no other special value.

That spiral mark was just squeezed when the food residue passed through the strange thing's grain path.

Li Yu was naturally not interested in this kind of treasure.

But he had been standing in front of the collection room, motionless, and still showing that kind of very suspicious smile.

This scene was seen by a special creature in the dark.

Li Li Xuanji, it was anxious.

But hindered by the contract it signed with the City Lord's Mansion, it could not take back the permissions and close the door.

Not long after, only hearing a clattering movement, a somewhat comical, round robot rushed out from a pile of mechanical garbage in the corner.

Its body consisted of a round head, a pair of mechanical arms, and a fat, round torso.

All were built from metal, but there was not much rust, just looking old, with rivets and welding traces on it.

After coming out, it showed a hovering function, swaying and swaying to Li Yu's front.

To be precise, it blocked between Li Yu and the collection room.

A pair of green crystal screens constituting the eyes reflected Li Yu's suspicious smile.

"After three interactions with humans in this world, it has been verified that almost all collections in the collection room have no value to humans."

"Please do not have misunderstandings about these good-looking treasures; they are just good-looking... but they are useless to you; please do not take away or destroy any collection."

One could tell from these two sentences.

This special mechanical life in front of him could no longer hide its nervousness.

It signed an unequal contract with the City Lord's Mansion!

It was almost unable to resist anyone who came with the key!

It mistakenly thought that I had designs on the treasures in the collection room, so although it had social phobia, it still gathered courage to stop me?

When Li Yu realized this, a look of crying and laughing appeared on his face. Then, he pulled Hongdou back a few steps, away from the collection room.

At this time, Li Yu could also see that this round robot had emotional reactions almost the same as a human child,

And, it also had social phobia.

At the same time, it also had several fetishes, such as cleanliness, and collection fetish.

It was indeed completely different from any mechanical life Li Yu had seen before.

Except for that metal shell, it could be completely treated as a human child.

"What is your name?"

"I... I have many names... Green Eyeball, Little Broken King, Iron Lump..."

Hearing these three names, Li Yu's face paused slightly.

Obviously, these were the names given to it by its previous three owners.

No matter how it was called or heard, it was not very good.

Li Yu skipped it silently and continued to ask:

"Everything here is managed by you?"

"Yes, the castle is my birthplace... and also my home."

"Then you allow me to live in?"

When hearing Li Yu's question.

This round robot already realized something, nervously spinning in place.

However, it seemed to have been born with some "programs" implanted; after hearing Li Yu's question, it responded directly with a stuttering mechanical sound:

"Of course you can!"

"After the new... new master moves in... you will obtain all permissions, including me."

"Good, but before that, this sister needs to check here first; don't be nervous, and don't resist, okay?"

"Okay!"

The robot had just finished answering.

Li Yu turned his head and signaled to Hongdou.

The mechanical maid who had been enduring for a long time, red light erupted in her pair of fox eyes.

The movement that made the small hovering thing couldn't help but scream, resounded throughout the castle.

"Enable permission module... target found... start intelligent intrusion..."

Hongdou just spat out this sentence.

Sounds of crackling electric currents came from all over the mechanical castle, the most obvious being the round robot in front of him.

In its pair of green eyes, red light flashed suddenly.

But soon, miserable green radiance began to counterattack.

"Encountered resistance... start parsing the target... parsing..."

"Target is an unknown mechanical life form... start forcible intrusion... target gave up resistance, intrusion successful."

The reason for this movement.

Obviously, the little robot remembered the instructions of Li Yu, this new master, and chose to give up.

As the one in charge, it did not resist, and the entire mechanical castle fell completely under Hongdou's control after almost a few breaths.

Although she stood by Li Yu's side without walking.

But from the next moment, all information about this 【Mechanical Castle】 began to be spat out from her mouth.

"Have fully taken over the target!"

"Start detailed recording..."

"According to the casting diary "Immortal Castle Construction Diary" excavated, the first owner of this castle, that is, the original builder, was a special race living in the spirit realm; this race possessed extraordinary mechanical technology, but the target castle has many discrepancies with the description in the diary, speculated to be the builder's exaggerated depiction."

"The special mechanical life form with names like Green Eyeball, Broken King, etc., was born accidentally after the death of the first owner and took over this mechanical castle."

"According to the survival diary recorded and constantly iterated in the mechanical life form's intelligence core, it is known that this castle subsequently had three owners."

"Its second owner was an ice-snow magic spider wandering in the spirit realm; this magic spider was a dependent of a certain True God; after accidentally colliding with the castle, it occupied it as its own nest and began to reproduce offspring... the magic spider called the target Green Eyeball and soon turned the castle into a spider magic nest; Green Eyeball expressed that it didn't like the new home, but it couldn't resist."

"Later, the castle was accidentally grazed by the very edge of the divine body of an extremely powerful fire-type Evil God passing by in the spirit realm."

"The castle was severely damaged, and the magic spider's family, which had reproduced for multiple generations, was completely wiped out."

"Green Eyeball drove the castle to continue wandering, while repairing, while expressing joy."

When Hongdou's description reached the first few sentences, Green Eyeball's performance was already nervous enough.

The last sentence came out, and this little thing directly started spinning in place.

It was also thanks to it being a mechanical life form; if it were a real human child, its reaction at this moment would probably want to find a crack in the ground to drill into.
