1582 Creation
"I think I've heard this line somewhere."
The ensuing crisis once again befell Duan Qing and Xue Ling's phantom ice, and the eyes that briefly collided together also revealed the feeling that they couldn't settle down, and the hands raised in front of their chests didn't dare to make any moves for a long time because of the robot-like figure standing in front of them: "I remember...... It's on the top of a certain mountain, right? β
"And in the UEFA Cup β that scene was recreated." Reminding the other party in a helpless tone, Xue Ling's Phantom Ice slowly covered the shield above his head: "There are not many mechanical and magical creations, and there are still some parts of the current Sky City, judging from the existing information, each of them can be called a tricky enemy that is difficult to deal with." β
"So according to the declaration it just made, are we hopeless?"
"No, don't make a move yet, I think something is wrong."
The dull feeling then gradually dissipated in the static scene of the tall figure in front of the two players, and the silenced atmosphere also made the ticking sound of the "robot" close at hand in front of him become clearer and clearer, and the body that was also becoming clear finally appeared in front of the eyes of the two players with the footsteps of stepping through the door of the entire room, and the pitch-black body covered with mysterious magic circuits appeared in front of the eyes of the two players: "Searching for a way to deal with it-"
"The search for the response method is completed, and the response form is changed." The upper limbs, still covered with bone meal and black powder, shook in the flickering of countless metallic cold lights and the hum of magic, and finally turned into a friendly gesture of virtual grip stretched forward: "Welcome, visitor. β
ββ¦β¦ Visitor, visitor? β
"Aren't you visitors?"
The emotionless electronic voice suddenly disappeared in the next moment, replaced by a soft question full of human breath, and the tall mechanical figure then tilted its completely square-like head to the side as if it had been endowed with human feelings: "It's strange, according to Protocol 681, the response at this time should be flawless......
"I feel like I'm hearing something I shouldn't have heard." His forehead was quickly covered with black lines, and Duan Qing hurriedly pressed down his headache expression: "Is there really such a lively and innocent robot in this world?" β
"Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I'm not a robot." Stretching out its machine-like arm, the tall magical creature in front of him replied in a flat voice in a synthesized electronic voice, "I, Kascaia II, am a standard magic weapon, responsible for serving the staff of the Kovaro IV laboratory in the Sola region, receiving visitors from afar, and guarding the security around the area. β
"Wait, wait." Hurriedly raised his hand to express his surprise at this time, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side also hurriedly jumped up from the spot: "The amount of information you provided is too large, we haven't heard of any of it, what kind of Kovalo laboratory, and magic weapons and the like-"
"To be precise, it's the sixth-generation anthropomorphic combat magic weapon...... Prototype. Lowering his mechanical arm, the magical creature that was emitting an electronic response sound then moved its cube head up and down a few times: "Rest assured, we are friendly to visitors, and as long as you don't threaten or destroy the area, I won't rule you out." β
"Threats and sabotage...... Is it? β
Tentatively signaling the surroundings here, Duan Qing cautiously stretched out his hand and pointed to the surrounding rooms and corridors: "I didn't mean to say that, but the damage to this place is already very large, right?" β
"It doesn't matter, as long as the main function is not damaged, my duties will not change." Calmly answering, the humanoid magic machine took a step back in the direction of the door: "I will continue to function here until the local duties are completely over." β
"Local functions?" Glancing at each other, Duan Qing then took the lead in asking this key question on behalf of the two people: "What is the function of the local area?" β
"Accept the excess magic fluctuations of the leylines and process them properly, and convert them into the energy needed for the experiment." The humanoid magical creature replied in a synthesized voice, "The details of the experiment - please check the permissions. β
"Permissions?"
"βFailed to reconcile."
After a brief wait, the figure belonging to the magical machine faded away as he turned it on again: "I'm sorry, I can't answer you, visitor. β
"Uh, well, we really don't know what permissions." Glancing at Duan Qing on the side, Xue Lingphantom Ice hurriedly followed: "But at least explain to us what we can know, right?" For example, the source of the so-called leyline energy, and the ownership of this laboratory......"
"Didn't I introduce it before? This laboratory belongs to the Kingdom of Solar. The pace of progress paused for a moment, and the magical creation that had already reflected between the dark light and shadow kicked away all kinds of bone fragments scattered all over the place: "This place, founded by Duke Stelelius and jointly run by the Kyle family and the Mobius family, is originally one of the world-renowned laboratories in the famous Croukaya continent, and it seems that humans who have not heard of it are abnormal." β
"No, no, no, I haven't heard any of the names you mentioned." Hurriedly waving his hand with a denied expression, Duan Qing continued with a smile: "I know that a magical creature without a lifespan may not be able to understand this, but I still have to ask - do you have the concept of time?" β
"Of course I have the time recording function, and it should be 11:36 a.m. on June 15, 3922 on the Rhodes Rhodes." The magical creature replied to Duan Qing in a more reasonable way: "Is there anything wrong?" β
"That seems like a bit of a big gap." Duan Qing, who once again pressed his helpless forehead and raised his head, let out a long sigh: "If you want to make it clear, it may take a bit long." β
"It's okay, since it's a visitor who hasn't appeared in a long time, I should treat it well." The voice of the robot-like figure replied with the heavy steps that reverberated with the heavy steps taken at this time: "Come with me, there is a more suitable place for rest and conversation." β
"It's a pleasure to meet you in a place like this, a-uh."
"You can call me Kyle II."
"Alright, Kyle II."
Following in the footsteps of the other party, Duan Qing gestured to the back of the magical creature who called himself Kyle II, "He was so kind to us, and even saved us at that critical moment just nowβ"
"Even as a token of gratitude, we'll tell you everything I know."
************************************
The winding corridor was left behind by Duan Qing and the others as time passed, and at the same time, there was a staircase that was constantly spiraling downward, and the seemingly tall and bulky magical creature also showed a flexibility that was completely inconsistent with the image it showed at this time, and the speed of rapid progress even the snow spirit phantom ice that was barely keeping up had a feeling of difficulty. Constantly observing everything along the way, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice finally came to the deeper part of this ruin, and the dialogue and communication between each other began to become less and less as this progress continued, accompanied by the more and more unnatural expressions on the faces of the two players: "That, that...... Why don't we go up? β
"The roads up are all dangerous, some of them have collapsed, and the other part is occupied by those fourth-level undead monsters passing by." The magical creature walking in front replied in a flat, synthetic voice, "I can pass those paths, but it's hard to keep the two visitors safe. β
"Uh, okay."
The silence between the three figures lasted longer, and after a while, Duan Qing's voice sounded again when he wanted to break the embarrassment: "I, we really want to get out of this place safely, it doesn't seem easy now." β
"There is a teleportation magic array on the bottom floor of the laboratory that leads directly to the periphery, but it hasn't been used for a long time." Without any hesitation or fluctuation, Kyle II in front of him quickly gave another answer: "If you can, you can leave this way, and the journey will be safer." β
"Look, I'll just say there's some other way out of the underground here." Unable to adapt to this silent and embarrassing atmosphere, Duan Qing then leaned his head and leaned in front of Xue Lingphantom Bing: "I guessed it." β
"Shouldn't we tell it that?" The gray-robed magician was answered by Snow Spirit Phantom Ice's equally low worried voice: "Although the robot should be emotionless, this Kyle II in front of me always gives me a completely different feeling." β
"You just have to think of it as an NPC that we often encounter in this world." Putting away the same waves in his heart, Duan Qing pursed his mouth towards the other party: "Even NPCs can be simulated by the light brain so humanely, what's so difficult about this kind of robot that is simpler than it?" It's the same with giving it three more chances to evolve. β
"Really?" Still maintaining a worried expression, Xue Lingphantom Bing's gaze that looked ahead with his hands clasped still didn't have any shift: "Even so, the impact of this kind of information is still relatively easy to hit the mood, right?" You see, its reaction and attitude are very different from when it started. β
"Maybe it's also making sense of the current situation, and it's useless to think about it so much." Casually saying such an answer, Duan Qing then lowered his voice: "But this is really not very beneficial to our next step, at least we should continue to leave a good impression on this Kyle II and let it help ......us more."
"Here we are."
A low electronic synthesis voice then interrupted the discussion between the two people, and at the same time, the movement of the tall magical creature in front of him spreading his arm was presented in front of Duan Qing, and the surface of the magic mechanical arm that seemed to be rusty black due to age also flashed a few faint lights at this time, separating a wall located in front of it on the left like a gate to both sides: "The reception room in the Covalro experimental area is still well preserved. β
"Thank you."
Looking at the tattered tables and chairs that appeared behind the separated walls and overturned in the dim, Duan Qing nodded with a dry smile: "Even if it doesn't look like a place where people can stay, we still appreciate your kindness." β
"Oh, I've almost forgotten how humans live." Then the tall magical creature uttered a chaotic electromechanical sound: "You seem to have special requirements for places to rest, such as places to sit and containers for food and water...... Please wait a minute. β
The dark shadow of the magical creation then disappeared into the darkness in front of him, and there was a clanging sound between the countless chaotic tables and chairs, and some of the scattered fragments of the tables and chairs that were no longer usable flew to the corner of the living room under the cleaning of Kyle II, leaving only three or two metal quadrangular tables that seemed to be usable and stone benches appeared in the action of the mechanical arm: "By the way, there is also a light source." β
Syllable.
A glimmer of light flashed on the surface again, and the mechanical arm then fell into the wall behind Duan Qing and the others in the surprised sight, and the magic streamer then crossed the entire living room with the lighting of the circuits, and finally the bright white light fell on Duan Qing and the ancient ruins they entered for the first time: "Please take a seat." β
"Food and water are hard to come by right now, if you guys do need it, please wait here for a while." In the embarrassed gaze of Duan Qing and the others, who walked slowly to the room, Kyle II, who was also illuminated, said again in a low tone: "I will be back soon." β
"No, no, we have our own." Hurriedly stopped the body of this Kyle II, who was covered in pitch-black rust and exposed magic circuits and energy, Duan Qing's gaze involuntarily fell on the cube-shaped head that was full of flickering circular light and staring at him like eyes: "You don't have to keep busy for us, we just stay here for a while." β
"This is a violation of Protocol 551 for the treatment of visitors." Standing motionless, the magical creature calling itself Kyle II then gradually retracted his desire to continue walking: "But I also have a lot of things I want to confirm with you. β
"Is the Continent of the Wind you described, with its meadows and winds, really what it is now?"
It slowly turned its head, and the body that turned around at the same time then moved in front of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice like a sculpture with a base and pulley, and the countless sharp blades that had been flashing on the surface of the mechanical arms also converged into the invisible arms with a transformational transformation at this time, and pointed towards the ceiling above the heads of Duan Qing and the others with its gesture-like movements.
