Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

Chapter 32 Steam City



Dudley was startled by Ciel's ferocious tone. Being timid, he immediately gave up. He hesitated and looked at Ciel to indicate that he knew.

Charles let go of Dudley, but did not let him go. Instead, he dragged him quickly to the side, while lowering his voice and gesturing to both Harry and Harry.

"Come with me, this way."

The four of them soon entered a dark alley.

Not long after the few people left, a large cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air on the cold and silent ground. It penetrated the ground and emerged from below, hazy, as big as half an adult's body.

The black mist has no substance. It is just a bunch of smoke. At the core of the smoke, there is an old children's mask that is on the verge of breaking. .It's like a mask picked up from a playground, discarded by children who like the new and are tired of the old.

There was no pattern on the mask, it was just the most ordinary smiling mask, but wrapped in this black mist, the worn mask looked increasingly weird.

The dark smoke floated up and down, and the worn mask kept shaking. It seemed to be looking for something. It turned around several times before finding nothing, and retreated again unwillingly.

. . .

In the dark alley, Charles sat on the ground with his back against the cold steel wall, closing his eyes and concentrating.

He was so tired that he even wanted to sleep.

Ciel had long known that forcibly using the third Karma Taj teleportation spell would lead to magic overdraft, which was a physical condition of physical and mental exhaustion, but he never thought he would be so exhausted.

It was a thousand times magnified compared to the fatigue in the game. Ciel felt like he was back in his youth again, the moment when he almost died suddenly after working overtime for three days and nights to catch up on the progress.

Fatigue made his internal organs ache, made his head muddle-headed and slow to react, gave him a splitting headache every time he shook, and even filled his heart with anxiety and irritability.

Being tired is also painful.

Ciel just wants to have a good sleep now. .But he can't.

Because it's still not safe here.

In a sense, the high-level monsters here are no weaker than the previous Cyclops, and may even be more numerous.

But the advantage is that they have not discovered the existence of Ciel and others. They can calmly find a place to rest and wait for Ciel, who is in a new state, to reopen the portal.

Correct portal.

This is the only thing they can do.

Ciel leaned against the wall and squinted for a while. He was too tired. Of course, everyone else was about the same. They had been on the road during the day and were chased around by the Cyclops at night. They suddenly relaxed and everyone was feeling sleepy.

"Keep quiet and we'll be safe."

But Charles still cheered up and was alert to his surroundings.

This was not the exit from Wonderland he wanted, but he still recognized this place, this was Steam City.

One of the main cities in the later stages of the Crazy Alice storyline, it is a challenge map after the end of the main storyline of Hogwarts, with a challenge level of 35.

Even if the plot here has not started at this time, with only a challenge level of 35, any monster here can destroy Charles and his party.

That's why he was so nervous.

Just like what Ciel and the others didn't see, the black mist that appeared after they left was not some indescribable lower race, but just the most common monster in the Crazy Alice plot. .This is the style of Crazy Alice's monsters. If you don't like it, don't play it.

This kind of monster may only have a challenge level of 5 in the novice area, but its challenge level in Steam City is 35.

The classic game setting, but here it is a fatal setting. Even a novice monster is a fatal threat to four little guys.

Charles, who was half thinking and half asleep, suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. He suddenly woke up and found that it was Hermione.

The little girl looked worried, both for their situation and for him. Hermione still remembered Ciel's previous warning to them not to make any noise, so she leaned her head closer and lowered her voice.

"Should we just wait here? It doesn't look very safe here."

Hermione's hair was fluffy and disheveled, which made Charles suddenly feel a little cold, and deep sleep followed him. He just wanted to find a place to lie down, cover himself with a warm quilt, and have a good sleep.

Ciel secretly bit the tip of his tongue and tried to cheer up, but unfortunately it was not very effective.

It is indeed not very safe here, but Charles feels that the best choice at this time is to hide here. As long as he can rest for a while, he can try to open the space door again and lead directly to the exit.

Without interference from external factors, there must be no mistakes this time.

if only. .Take a short break.

Therefore, it is best not to move around. The bigger the movement, the more dangers it may cause. More importantly, his head is groggy at this time and his thinking is much slower. He is worried that he will be careless and will Everything is getting worse.

Perhaps, the decision he has made now is already a terrible decision.

Ciel smiled bitterly. He knew that the overdraft of magic power would make people feel tired, but he never thought that this kind of fatigue would be so unbearable.

It's torture.

"woo"

Just when several people were drowsy, a huge roar that resounded throughout the world suddenly rose from the city. It came from a very far away place, like a meteor piercing the dawn, with a huge buzzing and trembling. It seemed like the whole city was shaken by it.

"woo"

"what"

The little girl screamed subconsciously. Her nerves were too tense. She saw something was wrong with Ciel's state. As someone who had fought side by side with Ciel, she thought that she might be able to help Ciel share more of his burden.

When he is in bad condition.

So she kept trying not to fall asleep, and kept telling herself not to make any noise and to be quiet. However, when the buzzing suddenly came, it had the opposite effect.

Hermione belatedly covered her mouth with her hands, but it was already too late.

Harry and Dudley also made sounds at the same time. Dudley gave a short cry, like a strangled cat, while Harry stood up suddenly with a huge buzz, and hit his head hard on the wall behind him. , the muffled sound made Charles feel pain.

"woo"

The honking continues.

This humming is actually the whistle of a train. There is a train in the sky of Steam City that will never stop. It comes from the void and goes through the void. It starts over and over in the entire wonderland and never stops burning.

The train gradually went away, and the Steam City became quiet again. Several people covered their mouths and looked at each other, as if waiting for some kind of fateful judgment.

"Go, go."

Taking a deep breath and resisting the dull pain in his internal organs caused by fatigue, Ciel stood up directly.

They were definitely exposed.

Any map has repeated wild monsters that allow players to level up, such as slimes and goblins. When the map level becomes higher, there may be lightning slimes, flame goblins and the like. .

Same here.

There is a kind of monster called the Resentful Doll wandering in the Steam City. In other words, this kind of monster can be found in the entire Crazy Alice map. Their strengths and weaknesses vary with the different levels of the map.

It was the mask of black mist from before.

The background of the Resentful Dolls is the incarnation of those toy dolls that children ruthlessly threw away in playgrounds after they had enough of playing with them, broke them, and constantly gathered the resentment of the dolls, attached to the dolls, and controlled the dolls. action.

But later, the resentments became more and more abundant, and the doll could no longer bear these resentments, so the doll's body began to crack and break. .Just like those dolls that were ruthlessly damaged and thrown away by children.

In the end, the doll was completely broken, and the resentment spread out, forming a black mist like smoke, but it still retained the doll's last mask, which was a reminder to itself, so that it would not forget what it was. In order to one day meet its former owner again, it can ask the only question it wants to know the answer to.

Why, why not pair it with a Hasbro Barbie doll.

This group of resentment dolls is very difficult to deal with because they are very energetic and any noise will attract their attention, and then they will pursue their target like they are playing hide-and-seek.

There are only two options to get rid of it, either kill them, or hide in a safe house.

There is another specialty monster in Steam City, the universal service robot Steam No. [-]. However, their speed is very slow and their warning range is relatively short. They are the kind that cannot do anything, so they can be ignored.
