Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages-Chapter 173 - The Greatest Breakthrough
173 The Greatest Breakthrough
Ji…
There was the sound of brakes, and the big iron cage car stopped in front of everyone. The Dwarf in the car got out, and Fang Ping followed Grass Cypress into the car.
“These two and I will head to the third mining area.”
The Dwarven auntie with the cloth bag around her neck looked up at Fang Ping and Qing Niao.
!!
“Twelve coppers.”
There were wooden planks under the large iron cage cart and iron frames around it. There was no place to sit. The entire cart was flat. Everyone was standing and holding onto the iron frames.
Fang Ping was half a head taller than the Dwarves. His line of sight was unobstructed. He looked around but did not see any place that could hold a steam engine or engine. What was the power of this car?
Right, Fang Ping suddenly remembered that this was a world filled with energy. His thoughts were still limited to the old ideas. Energy-powered systems were not impossible.
The iron cage cart kept moving forward. Fang Ping could feel that the Dwarves in the cart were all secretly looking at him. He did not know how long it would take to reach the third mining area mentioned by Grass Cypress.
The Dwarves in the big metal cage went up and down. There were fewer and fewer people, and the car became empty.
The driver in the driver’s seat in front had a simple job. He just had to stare ahead. Pushing the joystick forward meant moving forward, and pulling back meant braking. He didn’t have to consider the direction when walking on the track.
“We’ve arrived at the third mining area.”
The Dwarven auntie who was collecting the money shouted and the car slowly stopped.
Grass Cypress got out of the car first. “Sir, this way, please.”
Qing Niao helped Fang Ping out of the car. The car behind them moved forward slowly, clicking away.
Fang Ping raised his head and looked around. The third mining area was near the middle of Kailund City. There was a circle of high walls around it. Not far above his head was the artificial sun. However, it had now turned dark red and there was no light.
It symbolizes the city has entered the night.
The Third Mine was very quiet. It was a large house with a courtyard. The architectural style was similar to Humans.
There weren’t many Dwarves on the street. There were street lights along the side of the road. Some of them were dim, others had gone out. So were the houses on either side, mostly dark.
This might once have been a wealthy district, but not anymore.
Grass Cypress led the way. “It’s just ahead. We’ll be there soon.”
“Okay.”
Fang Ping always felt that Grass Leaf Cypress’s attitude was very humble. She kept calling him sir. Fang Ping believed that this word meant respect in the Dwarf world.
She was a Professional. If what Red Camellia Snake said was true, the Geode Profession was a rare Profession among the Dwarves, she should also be a privileged class. Her attitude should not be like this.
He didn’t understand.

“Woohoo! Take off!”
THUD!
Click, click, click, click.
A strange sound came from the courtyard beside him. Grass Cypress pushed open the door. “Sir, it’s here.”
This was a very large villa. There were two large houses and a huge courtyard. It had to be half a football field.
The middle room of the courtyard was the source of the sound just now. There were metal parts scattered all over the ground. A huge steel monster was rushing forward, and there were two tracks on the ground.
Grass Cypress pointed at the steel monster. “That’s my brother, Goldfinger. He needs to be purified. Please wait a moment.”
“Goldfinger? That’s a good name.”
Fang Ping looked at the steel monster that was still clacking its way forward.
“It caused such a huge commotion, and it still needs to be purified?”
Grass Cypress also looked over and said, “My brother is a genius and an Innate Awakened. Unfortunately, when he went out back then, he encountered a Magical Beast and was hit by the Self-destruction characteristic. I found many Forbidden Spell Masters, but they could only reduce it slightly and not eliminate it.”
Qing Niao behind him exclaimed, “Self-destruction characteristic? How can it live for so many years?”
“We Dwarves have racial characteristics. In addition, it’s only self-destructing. It’s not fatal, but… as long as the Self-destruction characteristic can’t be eliminated, I don’t know how long we can live…”
The steel monster in front stopped, and a Dwarf crawled out from between it. “Sister, you’re back. Did you see that? It’s my new Flyer 78. It really flew a short distance just now. Do you want to see it? I’ll fly it for you again.”
“No need, no need. Come over quickly. I’ve hired a Forbidden Spellcaster to help purify. Sir, please wait a moment. He’ll be here soon.”
Fang Ping was not in a hurry. He only heard an interesting word. “It’s fine. Did he just say that he flew?”
Grass Cypress sighed. “He’s liked to make these machines and parts since he was young. I thought that he could drive a chariot in the future, so it’s fine. However, he thinks that the chariot can only be driven on the ground. He wants to fly into the sky. Alas, he won’t listen no matter what I say. But now that he’s like this, I’ll let him be. I hope he’s happy.”
Qing Niao next to him said, “If you want to fly into the sky, can’t Griffins and Chimeras do it? How can this big metal block fly?”
Grass Cypress shook her head. “I also told him to buy him a permanent energy creature that could fly, but he was unwilling. He insisted on letting the chariot fly.”
Fang Ping watched Goldfinger, who was not very tall, trot over. There was a pair of goggles hanging on his head. He looked quite interesting.
He bowed to Fang Ping first. “Sir Forbidden Spellcaster.”
Fang Ping nodded and pointed at him. “Purify.”
The starlight landed on Goldfinger. He closed his eyes and snorted softly.
“Thank you, sir. Here are 40 silver coins.”
Grass Cypress sack was immediately handed over. Fang Ping accepted it. He still had to accept the money.
“Thank you, Forbidden Spellcaster.” Goldfinger opened his eyes and bowed again.
Fang Ping pointed at the steel monster. “Goldfinger, I want to see that. Can I?”
Goldfinger’s eyes lit up. “Really? Forbidden Spellcaster, do you want to see Flyer 78 too?”
...
Behind him, Qing Niao also said, “Fang Ping, do you know anything about machinery?”
“I’m not very well-versed. I’m just a little interested and want to take a look.”
“Mr Forbidden Spellcaster, come. I’ll show you. Flyer 78 is my biggest breakthrough recently.”
Goldfinger was excited. He wanted to pull Fang Ping over, but he felt that it was inappropriate. He retracted his hand and stomped his feet on the ground. He could not wait for Fang Ping to go over quickly, but he did not dare to rush him.
“Mr Forbidden Spellcaster, should I open it for you to see first? Can he really fly, or is he a Forbidden Spellcaster? Do you want to try it yourself? But if you want to try, I’ll have to change it slightly. The position inside is made according to my size. There might be a little bit.”
Fang Ping followed him forward. “Can you tell me about its power system?”
“Well, I’m using the third-edition energy wheel. One wheel can pull two hundred pounds of something. I’m using eight wheels this time. The fastest I can go is about fifty kilometers per hour. I’m not so sure because there’s no one to help me measure my speed.”
Fang Ping walked closer and saw the row of four huge wheels. They were all made of iron, yet they wanted to fly?
The energy wheel did not seem to be driven by a motor, but by a wheel.
Goldfinger patted the large wooden wings on both sides. “I ordered this too. The boxwood wings made him much lighter all of a sudden. It’s also very earthquake-resistant and doesn’t fall apart easily. The feathers outside are the feathers of the Thunder Magic Falcons. It wasn’t easy for me to get them.”
