Chapter 770 A Brief Look at Fontainebleau
Before Aibel could finish, Su quickly grabbed her hand.
First hold it and shake it, then while the other person is in a daze, quietly touch it again and again.
The fur is fine and soft, and the palms are thick and strong. If you touch them carefully, you will find that Meilushin's hands are not flat, but have small pads. The body temperature is slightly low, but there is warmth.
Paimon was speechless. If Su and Aibel were not both cute girls, Su's way of touching hands... no, shaking hands, could be called obscene!
After shaking hands, the distance between the two seemed to be shortened invisibly, and Aibel was willing to talk to Su about more personal topics.
"The wings on the back? Those are actually fins that function similarly to fish fins. We Melusin are an aquatic species."
"Why are you wearing a uniform jacket but nothing underneath? It's okay, Miss Paimon. I can sense that Miss Su is just curious and has no ill intentions. I have the right not to answer questions I don't want to answer."
"Melushin has dense fur and essentially does not need clothes. Wearing clothes is more for integrating into human society and hobbies. Because of the many differences in structure compared to humans, there are currently no convenient, decent and comfortable pants suitable for Melushin to wear."
"So that's how it is," Sue enthusiastically invited her new friend, Melusin, to go shopping together. "If your pants don't fit, how about going to a clothing store to customize a skirt? Linnet knows a great clothing store."
Linnet nodded, "Chiori-ya."
Aibel knew the shop, and also knew Linnet and Linny, "Wow, I'm so lucky to meet such a gorgeous magician duo - Miss Linnet and Mr. Linny!"
"Because I couldn't get front-row tickets, I could only enjoy your wonderful performance from a distance. I'm really looking forward to your performance at the Oprykle Opera House in a few days. It will definitely be a grand occasion!"
"Thank you Miss Aibel for your love."
Linnet and Abel shook hands, and Linnie took a photo with Abel.
Aibel was happy for a while holding the group photo and then responded to Su's invitation, "Qizhiya is great, but it's also expensive. If Miss Su is willing, I'm on vacation tomorrow. Do you want to go to Luze Cafe for a drink together?"
Sue: "I don't like coffee, but I can go for snacks with you. They should be selling snacks there, right?"
Aibel: "Yes, yes, that's a deal!" Senior Ou Feini, she has made friends other than her colleagues!
After chatting for a while, Aibel continued his duties as a tour guide, explaining the beautiful Fontainebleau to the new tourists.
"Passengers, please look. In the distance is the huge mountain of Erinus. Our hometown of Melusin, Haimo Village, is over there. I loved its stories when I was a child—"
"Wait wait wait wait!" Paimon rubbed his eyes, "There, there, there! Is that a dragon?!"
Sora also stood up straight and looked into the distance.
To be more precise, it was the corpse of a dragon. The huge corpse formed an island, and the white bones and head were still clearly visible from such a distance.
"It's a sea monster." Linni, a local from Fontaine, explained: "Erinus is not only a place name, but also the name of a giant sea monster."
The giant sea monster Erinus nearly destroyed most of Fontaine, and the fleet that Fontaine was so proud of spent a huge price to successfully kill it. Because of the lack of manpower, the Fontaine navy has never recovered.
As Meluseen's Aibel, she has different opinions on Erinus. Although she is simple and direct by nature, Meluseen has also learned not to say things in front of humans that may cause disagreements due to different positions.
The tracking ship continued forward and entered the cave tunnel. Sensing that the environment was getting darker, the tracking ship lit up soft lights.
Aibel introduced: "It's beautiful, isn't it? This is different from the fluorescent material used in Xumi lamps and open flame lamps in other countries. It's our Fontaine's unique law compensation mixed energy night light!"
"In addition to the Law-Compensation Mixed Energy, Fontaine also has a set of energy called Manghuang." The tracking ship drove out of the tunnel, and Albert pointed to the ground under the waterway viaduct, where there were several patrolling clockwork mechanisms.
"The mutual annihilation of the wilds can generate enormous amounts of energy, but although this energy is powerful, it is unstable, so it has not been used for large-scale civilian purposes. The daily operation of the city still relies on the law-compensated mixed energy."
Su lay on the edge of the boat and looked at the human-shaped clockwork mechanism below. "Although making the machine in human shape would cause unnecessary waste, it looks so cool!"
Rugged yet precise mechanical beauty.
Paimon also noticed the bright spot, "There's a clockwork dog over there! It looks like its head is a camera."
Aibel explained: "The original clockwork mechanism was designed by Alain Guillotin. The wild energy used in their power core was also discovered by this genius and turned into a controllable energy block."
"Also, I heard that he invented a prototype machine that could think and talk hundreds of years ago, which was super smart!"
Almost all Melusin have a favorable impression of this genius who is suspected to have created mechanical life.
Sue: "Well, where can I buy a clockwork mechanism like this?" The housework in the pot is saved!
Aibel shook his head. "You can't buy it. The security agency only makes it for military use. Even old and obsolete models are prohibited from entering the market. Public officials can only apply for the right to use it for a period of time."
Seeing the disappointed look on the girl's face, Aibel thought for a moment and whispered, "Clockwork toys are one of the manifestations of Fontaine's mechanical craftsmanship entering life. Some models can even outperform the old guard mechanisms by rewriting their logic and removing restrictions!"
After receiving the hint, Su temporarily threw away the plan of going to the black market to buy contraband, "Then when we go shopping tomorrow, Aibel can take me to buy some "toys"."
Aibel nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's settled."
Aibel looked at Linny and Linnet, and added, "Such toys are very practical for travelers and adventurers who are bound to encounter bad guys and monsters!" So this is a very legitimate behavior!
Linnet looked as if she hadn't heard anything. This was something her kids often did.
Linnie smiled and responded, "Haha, that's true. What Miss Aibel said makes sense."
They chatted happily all the way until the orbital ship arrived at the Fontaine station and docked. Su and Aibel said goodbye reluctantly.
Sue: "Can we meet at this platform tomorrow at 10 o'clock?"
Aibel: "Well! It's okay if you're late for something unexpected. I'm on vacation tomorrow and can wait until dark!"
Su:?
Sora & Paimon:?
Linny & Linnet:?
Wow! What kind of excessive treatment has Aibel experienced? !
Sue: "Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock! I will be there on time even if it rains knives from the sky! See you there!"
The new friend is really impressive. Aibel patted his slightly hot cheeks, skipped to the office and applied for a day off tomorrow.
