Section 257 Transition
Through the remote projection technology, Lu Wu noticed that the old woman's face had changed a little.
It is not clear whether Lu Wu's memory is a little wrong, or the old woman has undergone a new transformation, or it is just the maintenance of related equipment and the replacement of some parts, in short, the old woman wears a flesh-colored hood on her head, which more or less covers up the brutal operation that directly penetrated her brain. It made her look and feel—just the feeling—more like a person than a biomechanic.
"I see...... Is it an artifact left behind by the Gashes?" If the news brought by Lu Wu touched the old woman, at least it didn't show it on her face at all. She looked calm, just thoughtful. "A suitable weapon indeed. For a long time, we wondered who had fallen into the hands of the Gasher people...... Now it seems that we really underestimate the cunning of the Stygian Warlocks. ”
"What?"
"You may not know these old things. The old woman explained. "The Gashes have done more than we can tolerate, and on both sides of us, the Radiant Moon Warlock and the Moon Warlock, have sent their teams to strike at them. Of course, even both of us made the killing of the Gashes their first priority in that scuffle. In short, the end result was a complete melee, in which the Gashes were finished, but their legacy, their machinery, equipment, and materials were severely damaged in the melee. We were half a step behind and got very little...... And what's worse is that we don't know exactly how much the Moon Warlocks are getting. We used to think that the artifact should have been destroyed by the desperate Gashe, or that it had fallen into the hands of some careerist and left in his family for generations to come...... Now it seems that it turned out to be the worst kind of outcome. Come to think of it, the Stygians have used its power more than once. Ay. ”
She sighed softly. "I want that artifact. She said. "Lu Wu, can you get it for me?"
Lu Wu actually just wanted to roll his eyes in his heart. Why should I come here to report if I have this ability? Of course, if the real artifact is snatched up, then it is really not suitable to be placed on the earth. Years later, if some idiot activates it, the earth will be finished, and it will be much safer to throw it on the side of Wago. At least the warlocks are definitely not as curious as the earthlings.
Of course, this may just be a misunderstanding. But in any case, Lu Wu felt that the curiosity of the earthlings would make them conduct dangerous research while knowing how dangerous that thing was. Warlocks are obviously much weaker in this regard.
"I alone am not enough for this task. After a while, Lu Wu decided to express his opinion in a more tactful way.
"Apart from Amber, we don't have any other First Lawlocks at our disposal. The old woman said.
"But...... The Stygian Warlocks had sent many low-level Warlocks to Earth before. ”
"Hey, I know. To put it simply, it's a matter of using some of the First Lawyer's creations...... Almost all of them are left over from ancient times. It's scarce and precious...... Yes, even if it's me, it's not as easy to use that kind of thing as I want. The old woman smiled. "Time, I need time to make a proposal and get the other consuls to agree. But I'm afraid that by the time we're done with these procedures, we'll be running out of time. Moreover, the more powerful the object, the more precious it is, and the more precious it is, the more time it takes to get permission to use it."
"What?!" Lu Wu was taken aback.
"I know it's meaningless red tape, it's a nuisance, it's just a mistake. But unfortunately, even I have no other way, at least for now. The old woman sighed. "I'll do my best, but I can't expect too much. I will prepare the manpower as soon as possible within the scope of my authority, and the rest can only be left to you. ”
X's, it's really a loss. Lu Wu had to admit that this time it seemed to be a loss.
"According to Amber's last briefing, the experiment seems to be going well. The Most High Star said. "This experiment is important to us. Amber emphasizes your help, without you, things certainly wouldn't have gone so well. ”
Of course, that thing is important, and it's almost as much as an atomic bomb on Earth. Once mastered the technology of repairing the plane, it means that the warlocks can use their space-time disintegration tricks with impunity. The people of the earth can understand very well what an advantageous position a country with nuclear weapons will occupy compared with a country without nuclear weapons.
"What kind of reward do you want?" said the old woman with a smile.
"I know what you've done at the Banshee Gate," the old woman continued, "you shouldn't care much about this Governor title or something, even if I try to make you a Governor in a more prosperous and safer place...... Well, I guess you won't care much......"
What reward do you want from the Radiant Moon Warlocks? Lu Wu hadn't thought about it at all. Or, given the situation, it doesn't seem like he needs anything. If it is advanced technology, there are more on the master's side, more advanced, and more unreserved. In terms of resources...... If it's an individual, well, those precious metals are enough for Lu Wuren. You know, every time he can send back a large amount of precious metals, and hand them over to Ren Jian to exchange for the currency of the earth, that is, billions and billions - and with the further development of inflation, there will be more in the future. If it is the whole, at least there seems to be no shortage of special resources on the earth.
Maybe when the disaster breaks out, let the humans of the earth flee here to take refuge?
It's a pity that it's useless. Don't look at the master, after getting the space-time gem, he has the ability to open the door to the world and allow the destroyers to migrate to Earth. But that kind of technology is not suitable for humans at all. You know, the Destroyer is a creature born with a biological energy shield, and humans don't have that ability to fight against the bad state in the process of traversing. There is only one reliable way to cross, and that is the type of badge in Lu Wu's hand, such as the treasure made by the First Lawyer. This is the kind of thing that adequately protects the traverser from damage (in fact, it's hard to say), but all of these artifacts have a common weakness: it takes a long time to recharge itself after being used once. Squeezing it too often will make it scrap.
However, there may be other ......
Lu Wu wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the old woman.
"How about marrying Amber to you?"
"What?" Lu Wu didn't expect this sentence to suddenly pop out of the old woman's mouth. It should be noted that as early as when Lu Wu was trapped in this world because of the curse, he knew that many of the customs in this world were very different from the earth. For example, marriage in this world, or partnerships, are not protected by law. Or rather, there is no law in this area at all. Although in terms of language translation, this relationship can only be translated as "marriage" in Chinese, but in fact, it is very different from the concept of marriage that is generally known to human beings on the earth, or Chinese on the earth.
This may be because of the difference in technology. There are artificial wombs in this world - although I haven't seen with my own eyes what the device called "artificial womb" looks like, but the existence of this technology itself is widely known - so the whole society has little special requirements for men and women, and there is no way to have the kind of fertility problem that the earth has anyway.
"That...... Marry me means ......"
"That's it...... That meaning in Earth Chinese. The old woman explained with rare patience. "The kind of marriage of earthlings. Of course, I know that Amber has no identity on Earth, but it is not difficult for a Warlock to solve this problem. Why, don't you like it? I thought you liked that kid a lot!"
"That, that ......" Lu Wuyi didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, he really didn't have any relevant psychological preparation at all, and this time it really caught him off guard.
"Of course, you can live on Earth. She can grow old with you and even have a bunch of children......"
"Wait, isn't the mission of the First Lawrcer to explore the Aether Sea?" Lu Wu finally understood why this matter was not right.
From what he knew about the social structure of the Warlocks, he knew that the First Lawyer was absolutely the most important. This importance does not lie in their strength, because the importance of the First Lawyer's has exceeded their combat effectiveness, that is to say, when the First Lawyer's battle goes to the battlefield, even if one is exchanged for a thousand, it is a loss, or even a big loss. They are natural explorers of the world and are able to bring countless benefits to their hometown. This is determined by the basic structure of the Aether Sea. In other words, although the warlocks have the ability to let anyone enter the Aether Sea at will, if there is no first lawman, then the so-called "exploring the other world" is simply the one that is touching the lottery and spending two yuan to win five million. It's simply not possible.
Even if you are a master, you are envious of this matter. According to the master, a multi-world civilization can give birth to the extraordinary existence of the First Law Warlock, which is an unimaginably rich gift and gift from the world, providing a steady stream of vitality for the warlock's civilization.
So even in the core area ruled by the Warlocks, the First Lawyer's Warlock was basically invisible. A limited number of First Lawlocks are exploring the Aetheric Sea, and this is their most important task.
You want to say that the warlocks willingly let a first lawkeeper accompany Lu Wu to live a small life on Earth...... It is estimated that Lu Wu must make a meritorious contribution to save the world in order to be able (only possible) to receive such a reward.
Even if it came out of the old woman's mouth, Lu Wu didn't feel that it was credible.
"Haha, sure enough, ......" this time the old woman really laughed. "You don't have to worry, for both of us, one less amber doesn't make a difference. And in fact, um, I can tell you that for some reason, we don't care that Amber is with you...... The fact that she's with you isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing. Of course, she should live longer than you, and of course she will come back after you die. ”
The longevity is easy to understand, because of the existence of magic, it is almost impossible for a warlock to get any diseases, and there are no hidden diseases, and the health level is definitely more than that of ordinary people. Naturally, their lifespan is much higher than that of ordinary people - although it will not exceed the limit of a creature like a human, it should not be a problem for amber to live thirty or forty years longer than the average lifespan of ordinary people in their seventies. However, Lu Wu didn't think this thing was normal.
"Of course, not yet. This sentence made Lu Wu breathe a sigh of relief. It's probably just a big pie. But it didn't matter, he didn't mean it anyway.
