Chapter 135: I Miss You, Matthew.

Yu Lian spread his hands and lit another cigar for himself.
Bobo looked at Matthew.
Matthew shrugged. ” My knowledge is shallow, and I know very little about the Arcane Machinists. However, my impression is that Machinists are indeed highly related to the various explosions.”
Matthew was actually quite tactful. In the literature books he had read, the Arcane Machinists were usually described as walking bomb depots.
“There’s no guarantee that their armour or weapons won’t explode.” This was the most frequently quoted summary of the impression of the Arcane Machinists.
‘ Preconceptions, those are all prejudices!” Bobo tried to explain, “We often do good things. A few years ago, the cloud elves and the sky giants fought over a ruin on the clouds. It quickly became a tug-of-war, and both sides suffered countless casualties.
“Because these two races were our neighbours. Whether it was Cloud Edge City, where the cloud elves lived, or the Heavenly Island, where the sky giants lived, they were both located in the same sky as the headquarters of the Arcane Machinists, the Cyberdragon. Well, Cyberdragon is a great floating city. If you haven’t heard of it, you should go and study geography.
“All in all, the battle between the two neighbours had the Arcane Machinists on the cyborgs worried. We began to wonder if we could stop the war in our own way.
“We did manage to do that.
“We found an opportunity to blow up the cause of the dispute between the two sides, the ruins on the clouds that were said to have been left behind from the beginning of the Enlightenment Era. We blew it up completely, turning it into ashes without leaving any dust behind.
“After this incident, the cloud elves and the sky giant no longer fought each other.
“Look, we Arcane Machinists can still do some good things.”
Behind the desk, Yu Lian silently smoked his cigar, his hands trembling.
Matthew also rubbed his temples.
“What about the relationship between the Cyberdragon, Cloud Edge City, and Heavenly Island?”
Bobo looked at him matter-of-factly. “Of course, it has become very bad!
“We have no choice but to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the big picture.
“Fortunately, it didn’t matter if they didn’t like us. Even if the Cloud Elves and Sky Giants joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Cyberdragon.
“After all, we only do good things occasionally. Our real specialty is still making bombs!”
Even Matthew fell silent.
Bobo, on the other hand, looked as though she had just declared her victory. Like a proud rooster, she jumped down from the chair happily.
“I’ll go now and ask Lily!”
“Wait!” Yu Lian stopped her. “Leave with him later. I will arrange for you to leave from the back door.”
As he spoke, he gestured for the lackey outside to temporarily cover the door with something. Then, he took the letter from the table and opened it to read.
This time, Bobo did not object. She brought a small stool from the side and sat down obediently.
Two minutes later.
Yu Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at Matthew.
“So you’re here to find the Art of Equilibrium?”
Matthew nodded, his eyes firm.
However, he did not have high expectations. After leaving the island, Matthew regarded Cordor City as his last stop in the south.
If he couldn’t find the inheritance of the Art of Equilibrium here, he planned to find a few unfamiliar undead and have a ” Night of the Undead ” until he got drunk.
Unexpectedly, Yu Lian said very easily,
“I do know where the Art of Equilibrium can be inherited. This information is supposed to be charged, but since you’ve helped me today, I’ll tell you for free. To be honest, you’re really lucky. When I sold this information to a grave robber, I received a total of 1000 gold coins!”
“Grave robbers?”
Matthew was puzzled.
” That’s right. The last inheritance of the Art of Equilibrium is in the underwater tomb of the ‘Bright Sandalwood King.’ The tomb raiders on the Gold Coast have long been restless about this. They tried to rob the Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb several times but failed. Later, for some reason, they actually found me. I told them a path leading to the underwater tomb.” Yu Lian flicked his cigar as if he were describing a very successful business deal.
Matthew’s heart sank.
As expected, someone had opened the tomb of the Bright Sandalwood King already. Otherwise, he would not have found that gravestone on the beach of the island.
“Sir, you are also a member of the Su. The Su have always valued burial graves, right? Isn’t Bright Sandalwood King your ancestor?” He looked at Yu Lian in confusion.
Hearing this, Yu Lian could not help but laugh.
“Ancestor? I don’t care. I heard that they had accumulated a lot of family property, but they didn’t leave any for me.
“I came out to make a living before I was 13 years old. I relied on myself to get to where I am today.
“My grandfather might have taught me some self-defence techniques, but I don’t understand his Art of Equilibrium at all.
“In short, I started from scratch. I have no other relationship with the Su apart from blood. I don’t agree with their philosophy either.”
Yu Lian had already said so.
Matthew naturally did not say anything more. He only asked about the location of the underwater tomb and the way to enter.
Yu Lian said,
“Bright Sandalwood King’s underwater tomb is extremely grand and huge. It is located in a half-plane and has only two entrances to the outside world.
“What I pointed out to the grave robbers was actually a dead end. As for you, you have the mark of the Su on your body. I believe that you have been to the island and even observed the Lantern Festival there. You are still alive and kicking, which means that you do have the potential to become an envoy of equilibrium..”
