Chapter 207: Revived Ghost

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An elliptical-shaped castle had been formed under Lu Zhiyu’s manipulations. The beauty of mechanical alchemy was that its products were made up of metallic cells. Even though these products did not contain any intelligence, consciousness, or the ability to think, they did possess some life characteristics.

For example, they had the capabilities of growing, repairing, maturing and modifying themselves. Since Lu Zhiyu had been the one who designed their life template, aside from the insufficient technology to develop a metallic cell brain, which rendered them a bit empty-headed, everything else had grown exactly according to how Lu Zhiyu had wanted!

To decrease some weight off the iron castle, Lu Zhiyu had designed a plan to modify it. Now, aside from the top part that still resembled the shape of a castle, the lower parts currently looked like a giant egg. Also, aside from the metal bottom and the main structure of the castle, the interior houses and rooms had all been built using a light wood.

After modifying the flying castle, a large number of bronze gargoyles had then decorated and constructed its interior, and just like that, a brand new castle appeared in front of Lu Zhiyu’s eyes!

Everything that was happening on the outside could be seen from within the control center that was located in the middle of the castle. Since he had stopped the castle in the oasis in the middle of the forbidden group within the Sea of Death for a while already, it would take some time for him to get going again.

Lu Zhiyu sat in the middle of the control center, while Eva stood beside him, curiously watching Lu Zhiyu as he fiddled with the controls. She was very interested in seeing how Lu Zhiyu could fly this thing!

“Start the engine!” As he gave the order, the track-wheel in the bottom surface of the castle retracted into the castle and blue flames shot out of its bottom. The heat of the flames melted the soil and sand on the ground, while the castle rose up to the sky.

“Transform to flying mode! Unfold the wings!” he shouted.

Then, two mechanical wings popped out from both of its sides, while the castle glided up into the sky. From the ground, it looked like a giant egg with wings had just flown into the clouds.

Soon, the flying castle was surrounded by clouds. Then, the flying castle finally reached above the layer of clouds and was exposed to the lights from the sun.

At this moment, the flying castle was driving directly on a layer of clouds, and the sunshine was no longer golden as usual, but had instead became a mottled color.

Eva was so amazed by this scene, she let her tiny mouth fall wide open. In fact, no one who had come from the ground would not be amazed after seeing such a beautiful heavenly view for the first time!

While Lu Zhiyu was laughing, he patted the metal ball in front of him and opened up a map of Maria’s World projected, which was projected in front of him. On the map, aside from the endless sea, there was the Alen Continent, Swirl, and Yala. The Arctic, which was covered in ice all year and the dragon island that had recently appeared in the volcanic island region where the dragon rajas gathered was also depicted on the map.

Compared to when Lu Zhiyu had first created this world, the whole world had since become much more lively. This was because everything was developing further and improving day by day.

In fact, its evolution was so fast, it even surprised Lu Zhiyu! Now, looking back, he honestly felt like he had created this world only yesterday!

“Target is Yala, Forest of Life!” he instructed.

——————-

In the southwest region of the central province, which was the Kingdom of the Church of Light, and next to the Mara Kingdom, there was a triangular gap that existed. Within that gap was a mountain called Andromeda Mountain. Its named came from its shape, which resembled that of a lady who was lying on her side.

On the peak of Andromeda Mountain, there was a massive snow mountain. The water from the mountain would flow down into the Mara Kingdom and form large areas of wetlands in the northern part of the kingdom. This is actually what had created this dense forest and enriched environment in the first place.

Even the largest river in the kingdom, the river of life, also known as the Nami River, had originated from here. The flow of the river had flooded a large area in the south region of Andromeda Mountain, soaking everything with water. As such, the whole area was full of thick water condensation and had a very rotten smell.

This place was called Rotten Marsh, and it was full of danger, as many dangerous beasts resided within it. Since this area was not fit for humans to inhabit, it had become a no man’s land.

In Rotten Marsh, a person in a black cloak and was tightly wrapped in bandages. From underneath his hood, his hollowed eyes that contained green flames were shockingly terrifying.

This was a ghost with no goals or memories. He was walking on earth after having woken up. As such, he had lost everything. Even the fragments of some of his memories were so disjointed, they seemed like mere scenes or flashbacks from another person’s life.

Who am I? Am I Adenos?

No, no, I am not him! Or am I?

Yes, I am Adenos!

Now that the lonely ghost had returned from his long rest, he hated humans. As he soon discovered, his current power could easily kill any human because of how fragile they were. So, if he could remember any of his old tricks from his memories, he could effortlessly destroy many of them!

He had walked out of the city of Babus and had travelled through many cities and villages, but wherever he went, he never fit in. This world could not accept him. So, he had nowhere to go but to this forsaken place.

Adenos stepped onto the muddy ground, while avoiding the deep holes in the swampy land. Then, one step at a time, he walked into the depths of Rotten Marsh, slowly leaving behind all of the human societies that refused to accept him.

At that moment, a strange humming noise came down from the sky. Adenos could clearly sense it, and as he looked up, the green flames in his eyes flickered. He saw a flying castle, which had just separated from the clouds.

Its metal body and its two huge wings made it look like some kind of strange bird. It then flew across the sky above Rotten Marsh and slowly disappeared.

As Adenos stood in the middle of the swamp, surrounded by flooded grasslands, the wind blew in from Andromeda Mountain and lifted up his cloak. Adenos looked up at the sky and wondered…

What on earth was that?

Meanwhile, the flying castle also triggered another being on top of Andromeda Mountain. The being reached out its head from a cave within the snow covered main peak, then shouted towards the sky.

Within the flying castle, Lu Zhiyu was currently sunbathing in a room on the top floor, while Eva was making coffee for him. They could see the sunshine and the beautiful views from the glass window, but they were not at all aware of the revived ghost below, much less the familiar looking black dragon!
