Chapter 288: Peters' Rubik's Cube
Mo Ye looked at the holographic phantom standing in front of him, this was Sean's projection, it was exactly the same, and it could even reflect the fluctuation of his mental power.
It is still the face that is half covered by the mask, and the lines that are exposed are as clear as a knife, if he is a sculpture, it must be the pinnacle of the sculptor's pursuit of the ultimate in handsomeness.
There is no doubt that Sean has a beautiful face that is very attractive and admirable, even if it is half covered, it cannot stop the transmission of beauty, but adds a touch of mysterious and mysterious appeal.
It is very pleasing to look at such a face, and even a hostile identity cannot deny this objective fact.
With a vague smile on his lips and a deep magnetic voice with a determined tone, Sean was extremely confident that Moya would not refuse his offer.
Well, what kind of attitude is that, Mo Ye thought about it carefully, probably a posture that thinks he has mastered the whole situation.
Even in the face of the uncertain variable of Moye, Sean has unshakable confidence in his plan.
Small fluctuations in the process do not change the general direction of his plans.
Mo Ye looked at Sean, stunned and unobjectively produced a 'hateful face' perception.
Mo Ye suddenly thought of the bedtime story he had heard from his master Ai Fan when he was a child, the beast demon master Sun Xingzhi was pinched in the palm of the Buddha's hand, and it was difficult to escape, and finally he had to give in and go to the West Heaven to pursue the true scriptures.
was played with between applause, and no matter how much he jumped, he couldn't escape the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain.
Sean probably thought the same way, everything, whether it was the royal family of the Weilan Empire, the way the Star Covenant responded, the reaction of the Council and the Explorer's Guild, or even the Zerg, it was all in his plan.
No matter how reluctant those involved were, at the moment the war began, it all went in the direction that Sean had planned, towards chaos.
Mo Ye is still a chess piece in this chessboard.
The situation in the Covenant has developed to this point, and the Weilan Empire has turned into such a ridiculous situation, and Sean has played a crucial role.
At this moment, I look at the person standing in front of me, smiling and saying "happy cooperation" and being sure that I can't refuse.
Mo Ye finally figured it out and blurted out, "You think you're a chess player." ”
Sean was stunned at first, but didn't answer Mo Ye immediately.
Mo Ye looked at Sean quietly, and after saying his conclusion, he didn't expect any kind of feedback from Sean.
It's more of an 'oh, I see' attitude, and there's a faint disdain that magicians are always proud of, and in a more serious way, they can be said to be untouchable.
This is almost a common problem of magicians, in the Luogar continent magicians are always highly respected and admired, even Aifan, who has been pursued by princes and nobles all the year round, can always get the greatest respect when he does not provoke the little girl at will.
How could Mo Ye, who grew up in such an environment, not have the pride of a magician, magic is a system of power that studies and explores the rules of the world, discovers its laws and applies what it has learned.
Master Ivan said that a true magician can not only discover rules but also learn to create, and self-confidence is an essential and important element, firmly believe that your choice is correct, and firmly believe that you can create, in order to cast more powerful magic.
There have been rumors that every mage is an arrogant and stubborn monster, and in a sense, Moya agrees with this.
Even if such self-confidence and pride are hidden in everyday life so well that people can't notice it, it has always existed.
A proud magician cannot happily accept being moved around like a pawn on a chessboard.
Mo Ye didn't refute Sean's confidence, just waited for him to get back to the point, the rune slate and the star map were what she wanted to talk to Sean about at the moment, pull the imperial capital star back to its original coordinates, maybe the secret of the rune slate could be opened.
As for what to do and what she can do after figuring out that secret, Mo Ye doesn't have a clear understanding, and the things that she has always been curious about can finally be deciphered, which is already very tempting.
The mystery of the possible existence of advanced civilization is even more fascinating.
There is one thing that must be admitted even if Mo Ye is unwilling, Sean's determination is not unreasonable, Sean has one of the pieces of the puzzle to solve the secret, Mo Ye can't refuse Sean's proposal, so that the Imperial Capital Star can return to its original position, and the last piece of the puzzle is installed, Sean is an indispensable and important part.
Alas, if you have no desire, you will be strong, and if you ask for something, you will inevitably be pinched by someone.
But it's really too boring to live without desire, and the desire for knowledge is also.
Sean had been silent, and Murmur had thought far away in the quiet center.
"No, I'm just a pawn player. ”
Sean's voice seemed to come from a distant starry sky.
Mo Ye raised his head slightly and squinted at the person in front of him, Sean smiled and repeated, "I'm just a chess player." ”
It's really interesting that people who don't play chess but just place chess pieces are related to the grasp of the initiative.
Mo Ye replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. ”
What Sean's starting point was, Mo Ye didn't care at all and was not interested in understanding it, and when he put her on the chess game, he had already determined the opposing relationship between the two.
Not to mention that the turkey uses her family and friends as bargaining chips.
Mo Ye's gaze focused on Sean's mask, remembering the few nobles he had seen in the Weilan Empire who had parasites attached to their faces or other parts of their bodies.
Is that the same under this mask?
Transparent bugs clinging to the skin?
Such a thought can no longer be eliminated, with such a psychological expectation, Mo Ye looked at the half of Sean's handsome and demonic face again, and there were some different visual effects.
"You're waiting for me, right, if I didn't make it to myself. ”
Mo Ye nodded, "That's right. ”
"Those underground insects and soldiers are your masterpieces?"
Sean smiled, his smile was full of mockery, and he shook his finger at Mo Ye, "His Majesty the King of the Weilan Empire is a person who can do anything for the sake of imperial power and the ambition of the great unification of the universe. ”
"Those soldiers," Sean nodded, "it really seems like his style, pinning his ambitions for expansion on those obedient puppets. ”
There is no denial and no recognition.
Mo Ye squinted and didn't say whether he believed it or not, but changed the topic, "Xiao Qi has restored the star map." ”
This time it wasn't Sean who responded first, but his brain, the baby who always looked serious.
"How did you do that?"
The communication between the two minds of the two masters cannot interject, they can't understand it anyway, and they can't even keep up with their thinking speed.
Mo Ye raised his hand and shook his arm wearing the rune slate bracelet, "Does the rune slate bracelet have any other purpose besides recording star maps, do you think?"
This is not a hint, a clear and unmistakable statement, showing Sean the key chips in his hand.
Sean stared at Mo Ye with a deep look in his eyes.
It's obviously just a hologram of communication and not a real person, but because of the expression of the real reaction and the detailed reaction of mental power fluctuations, Mo Ye has the illusion of facing Sean directly.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Ye's wrist.
Mo Ye's subconscious retraction action paused after remembering that the other party was just a hologram.
Allowing the phantom to hold on to his wrist, he didn't feel any actual touch.
"Ink Ink"
Mo Ye looked at Sean, restrained his lazy expression, and reminded, "You can call me by my name, Mo Ye, or Your Excellency, Deputy Head Mo, etc. ”
"Hmm," Sean nodded, "Your Excellency Momo, please seriously consider the invitation to join our group, we share a common mission, don't we?"
Not.
Mo Ye gave up on correcting the title, just a code name.
"What does the star map recorded by the rune tablet point to?"
Mo Ye asked directly, not expecting Sean to really give a complete answer.
Sean said, "There is a legend that there is a treasure in the location of this star map, a very old-fashioned legend, I saw it in ancient books when I was a child, in the ancient advanced civilization society, Zaropeters built a space station in order to preserve the spark of civilization, a treasure house of the starry sky, preserving countless samples of civilization fire, seeds, frozen ancient creatures, genetic samples, advanced weapons, books, etc., this starry sky storage is called Peters' Rubik's Cube.
Passed down from generation to generation until the death of the advanced civilization, the scholars of Ausveld discovered evidence that the legend could be confirmed, the existence of rune tablets. Sean paused for a moment and continued, "The flame of civilization, the treasure house of the starry sky, how can it not be coveted and crazy. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ye's brows furrowed slightly, there was something in Sean's words, and she could barely hear it, "Do you think that the Weilan Empire's attack on Osvid is not only because of the fear of Osvid's technological civilization development and coveting the success of research?"
Sean didn't deny it.
Mo Ye expanded his brain a little more, "Do you think the Star Alliance Council and Guild are also involved?"
Sean still didn't deny it,
Mo Ye carefully recalled the attitude of the council, the guild, and the Weilan Empire all along, and they really didn't reveal any information about the rune slate.
It was Sean who knew the most.
"You think I'm lying to you?"
"Oh no, I'm just lamenting that we don't have equal information between us. ”
Sean "......" was speechless.
It's rare for Mo Ye to say it so implicitly.
"They know that the Peters Rubik's Cube just doesn't know the existence of the rune tablet, and the thing in your hand has another name, the Peters Star Key. ”
Well, Sean managed to arouse Moye's interest and curiosity, finally.
however
Mo Ye waited quietly, but Sean didn't say anything, and stopped abruptly.
"I don't think communication is the right way to talk about it. ”
Deliberately, Sean definitely did it on purpose.
Mo Ye clearly realized that Sean deliberately released these clues, and he did have information that Mo Ye did not know, which was his bargaining chip and bait.
His bait had already been placed in Mo Ye's mouth, just waiting for the big fish to flutter and bite the hook.
It's really terrible, I know that the bait is wrapped in a crochet needle, maybe the hook is smeared with poison, but the bait is so tempting that I can't give up.
In the historiography and archaeological research of Ausvid scholars, it is mentioned that there may be all historical civilizations before the interstellar era until the demise of advanced civilizations in Peters' Rubik's Cube, which is the treasure of human civilization, the last spark and hope of civilization. ”
It's quite like that, but even if the current Star Covenant is in war, it is far from reaching the point of the extinction of civilization at the end of the world.
As for the advanced civilization that has died, that's another matter, and the black line crossed Mo Ye's mind.
"Do you know the black line" Mo Ye froze for a moment, thinking about whether it was appropriate to use 'devour', and after thinking about it, there was no more appropriate description than this word, "Is it the matter of swallowing the battleship?"
Sean quickly realized what Mo Ye was talking about, since the appearance of the ring aperture belt, the frequency of starry sky storms has increased greatly in various parts of the Star Alliance, especially near the aperture band, and the Weilan Empire has suffered several times, black line raids, mysterious disappearances of starships, and strange events that suddenly appear again.
Sean stared at Mo Ye, his gaze locked, and looked at it for a long time, "I think it's time for us to meet and talk in detail, what does Mo Mo think?"
Both were throwing bait.
Mo Ye didn't mind going to the Imperial Capital Star, it had to be the Imperial Capital Star, even though she knew that the other party was very likely to set a trap to wait for her.
"Master, do you really believe in Sean's assurances?"
Mo Ye looked at Xiao Qi, with a face, are you kidding Mom, stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Qi's head, I can't figure out how Xiao Qi's smart brain could ask such a stupid question, "Of course, I don't believe it." ”
This person can admit without changing his face that he planned the war of the Star Alliance, and he can not hesitate to make those crazy arrangements in order to overthrow the Weilan Empire.
Compared to Sean, Mo Ye unexpectedly felt that the unreliable friends in his team could be regarded as saints, which was a terrible comparison.
Mo Ye shook his head, no matter what, the Imperial Capital Star was definitely going to go.
It's just that Mo Ye didn't believe in the treasure of civilization that Sean said in his mouth, if it was really the fire of civilization, why didn't it play its due role when the advanced civilization died.
A treasure trove of hidden civilizations?
I always feel that this thing is too ideal and mythical.
Mo Ye subconsciously rubbed the rune figure bracelet on his wrist, silently thinking, what are you hiding?
The name of Peters' Cube sounds less like a treasure trove and more like some kind of dangerous temptation.
However, legend has it that there are many footnotes that have been added to this kind of thing by later generations, and what is going on has long been buried in the long river of history.
If you want to know, you can only explore it yourself.
"I think the key to the rune star map is related to the black line, there is no evidence, pure intuition. Mo Ye shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Maybe I should discuss it with Luo Yuning." ”
Xiao Qixu nodded matter-of-factly, "Master, I think this idea is good." ”
After hanging up the communication, Mo Ye had already begun to prepare to leave the Imperial Second Guard and go to the Imperial Capital Star.
