This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Soon, the two knights led him to an unusually tall metal wall.

Ye Yiyi looked up and found that the wall that seemed to have no end was at least fifteen meters high, and behind the wall stood a number of huge metal factories.

Under the azure moonlight, those giant factory buildings looked as deep and terrifying as dormant monsters.

"This is the construction plant, and the air defense catalysts are also inside..."

He looked away in thought, his eyes sweeping across the metal wall with extremely obvious rust.

Falling on various types of brick and wood mixed buildings under the wall.

Compared with the scenery in the city, these buildings appear too crude, like doghouses built next to a magnificent castle.

"I remember there are a lot of these buildings in the outer city of the royal capital."

Ye Yiyi looked thoughtful as he glanced at the buildings, which were no more than three stories high and not even half the height of the metal walls.

Like Linhai Tower City, the Kingdom of Campbell built its capital on ancient ruins.

Compared to the inner city of the royal capital, which is so bright and clean that it seems unreal, it is better to say that this is the true architectural level of the Campbell people.

After walking along the perimeter of the building with sentry posts every five meters for a while, Ye Yiyi soon saw a group of familiar figures.

"Hmph! Finally here..."

Surrounded by many law knights and guards in the center, Ars's trusted butler Eddie glanced over, then snorted in dissatisfaction before stuffing the pocket watch in his hand back into his clothes.

"Master Fulton, we have brought the person you requested."

The Knight of Law who led the way saluted the little boy next to the butler and then stood aside.

Master Fulton frowned and pursed his lips, looking distracted and absent-minded. When the knight saluted him, he just nodded perfunctorily and didn't hear what he said at all.

"Why are you here too?"

Ye Yiyi mixed into the group of guards, found Si Luo with a frown on his face and asked.

"It was Lord Edie who ordered us to gather." Si Luo's expression was not very good. "I also heard that Lord Ars was missing..."

"Cough cough!!"

Seeing everyone gathered, Eddie coughed twice, interrupting the guards' whispers.

"It's an emergency, so I'll keep it short."

The old man glared at Ye Yiyi in the crowd, and then continued:

"Those of you living in the capital should all know that the Holy Spear within the Construction Factory is illuminated by glory, and will strike down any entity that attempts to override the law and the capital.

"This kind of thing is common, but not long ago, Lord Ars suddenly disappeared during a routine inspection.

"The Construction Factory is a place where the glory of law shines, so the bound Knights of Law and Knights of the Golden Cup are not allowed to enter. As guards of the Ars family, this heavy responsibility and honor falls on your shoulders!"

"So those air defense catalysts are for indiscriminate air defense?" Ye Yiyi suddenly realized.

In other words, no matter who comes, as long as they enter the range, they will be attacked.

How could the curse masters use something like this that can't distinguish between friend and foe to protect their lair?

Ye Yiyi had a strange look on his face, and then he heard Eddie shouting loudly in a fanatical voice.

"So, warriors of House Ars! The time has come to sacrifice your lives for your country! Prove your loyalty and honor to Campbell!

"Recover Master Artisan Ars, at any cost!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Their emotions were inexplicably aroused, and at this moment, the guards, with red faces, began to shout fanatically.

Not only that, the faces of those Law Knights were filled with regret and unwillingness, as if they hated that they could not shoulder such an honor.

Ye Yiyi felt the birth of the Messiah that sounded the alarm, and her face froze. Although she was a little slow, she still followed them and shouted.

"call……"

Seeing this, the old butler breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted the pocket watch in his arms, which was emitting a faint purple light.

"Each two people will receive a map and a walkie-talkie. Team up in pairs and enter the construction plant. We must find Lord Ars before dawn... Sullivan, come here."

After sending the fanatical guards aside to collect the items, Ye Yiyi walked aside and came to Eddie and Fulton.

"Eddie, let me talk to Sullivan alone."

The little boy raised his head in a depressed mood. The old man rarely made any sarcastic remarks. He just lowered his eyes, sighed deeply, and walked aside.

"Sullivan, first of all, I want to apologize to you..."

The boy bowed slightly, leaving Ye Yi stunned.

"This..." Ye Yiyi looked a little confused.

The noble apologized to the mercenary?

Although this is in Campbell, an apology is a bit outrageous.

"I……"

The boy looked down at his feet with an uncertain expression.

"My father disappeared because of me... I had a fight with my father before, and it was about you."

"Because of my business?"

Looking at the boy in front of her, Ye Yiyi suddenly felt flattered.

"why?"

"Huh... That's because my father looks down on your talent."

The boy raised his head in frustration, with a trace of red marks on his fair face, but a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

"He didn't think a horse that was as easy to use as an arm would be a great help to knights and heavy cavalry.

"But when I asked him why, he refused to give me a direct answer..."

"It's... just for this?" Ye Yiyi was a little confused.

The boy glared at Ye Yiyi and finally sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, you're just a mercenary, you wouldn't understand even if I told you..."

"Uh……"

Of course Ye Yiyi understood, he just didn't know how to explain to the boy the theory that cavalry was useless.

Compared to the machine gun that eliminated cavalry from the stage of history, the existence of puppets and mechanical vehicles is even more difficult to describe in words.

Simply put, we already have Apocalypse tanks and unmanned robots, so who would still ride horses to fight?

"Anyway, my father and I had a fight at the dinner table about you."

The boy sighed and said, "Then the Holy Lance went up into the air and shot down a bird or something else. My father went into the factory to check as usual, but he lost contact with us."

"This……"

"I know you want to say this has nothing to do with me."

Fulton reached out to stop Ye Yiyi and shook his head.

"Although my father is very careful in his work, he is easily affected by his emotions. I know him. It must have been the quarrel between him and me that led to his disappearance..."

"Oh..." Ye Yiyi didn't know what to say.

"That's why I asked them to bring you here," the boy continued.

"Do you want me to help find your father and change his opinion?" Ye Yiyi asked tentatively.

"what?"

The boy looked up at him in confusion. "You actually guessed it?"

"That's true... But that old man just mentioned sacrificing his life for his country. It must be very dangerous in the construction factory, right?"

"That's what I'm apologizing for."

The boy sighed and said, "The construction factory is very dangerous, especially the deepest part. Usually, only my father dares to go in alone... I also know that this is very irresponsible to your life, so..."

As the boy spoke, he took off the silver pendant tied around his neck and hidden in his clothes and handed it to him.

"This is a talisman my father gave me. He was afraid I'd run into danger by venturing into the construction factory alone... Although I've never used it, I think it should be able to protect you..."

Ye Yiyi reached out to take the warm pendant, but her fingers were tightly grasped by the boy.

He looked up and saw Fulton looking at him stubbornly.

"You're a free mercenary who dares to travel across the lands alone. I know you're no ordinary man, so I hope you can find your father and prove that your value goes far beyond horse training... Okay?"

"I try my best."

Facing the boy's sincere eyes, Ye Yiyi sighed slightly in her heart, holding the pendant and standing up straight.

"I hope I'm not wrong about you, Sullivan."

The boy spoke softly, turned and walked towards the house not far away. Ye Yiyi said nothing, just lowered his head and looked at the pendant in his hand.

The light curtain then popped out.

Attached King's Magic: [Secret Skills: Protective Membrane]

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi looked up in surprise and looked at Fulton's back as he left alone.

"His father, Ars... is actually a disciple of the King of Craftsmen?"

"The young master really thinks highly of you..."

　Upon hearing this, Ye Yiyi turned her head and looked at Addie, who had stood beside her without her noticing when.

The old man in a tuxedo lowered his head to look at the pendant in Ye Yiyi's hand, and a hint of long-lasting nostalgia inadvertently flashed in his gray-black eyes.

"Young Master has been very sensible since he was young..."

Eddie ignored Ye Yiyi's gaze, and started talking to herself as if she was reminded of someone by the sight of something.
