Chapter 210: Contestants
Danny was sorting out today's work report when a shadow blocked him from the counter.
"Welcome...... Hey, why are you again? ”
A young man with curly brown hair was standing in front of him, carrying a large bag of stuff behind his back.
He remembered the little guy who came to him a few hours ago to modify his armor. A cringe, a guy who doesn't look like he's able to deal with the living.
"I remember your cadet ID was...... Momo ...... Momothy: Right? Momothy Krause? What's going on this time? ”
He is busy with work, and he doesn't like to receive these students with a lot of requirements, so he looks eager and straightforward.
Momothy was about to say something when he interrupted him, so he had to reorganize the language and speak, "Mr. Danny, can you help me prepare a modification room?" ”
"Conversion room? What are you going to mod? Your armor seems to have been sent in, right? ”
Danny took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth and spat out a cloud of mist.
"This ...... You don't have to worry about it, right? ”
Momothy scratched his face and glanced to the side.
"I said, why are you so nervous...... Isn't it just to make a piece of equipment? ”
The one who watched at night was speechless for a while.
"But this kind of thing...... Doesn't seem like something that people can know casually, right? The explosion is too knife or something......" Momothy quibbled in his mind.
"Come on, you're just cowardly. If the orderers in the restaurants outside were all manpower, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell what you want to eat. ”
Danny looked at the boy in front of him strangely, and said, "I took you to the renovation warehouse once today, and the single room next to that location is not used now, so you can use that......"
As he spoke, he raised his arm and popped out a string of blue data printed into Momoxi's terminal: "This is the traffic data, it will expire after twenty-four hours or the end of the operation time of the workbench, if your transformation time is relatively long, don't worry, turn off the console to end the operation." ”
After Danny finished speaking, he buried his head and continued to organize the things in his hand, ignoring Momothy no more.
"Look, this little character doesn't really care what you do, and other people are busy with work."
"Oh......"
Momothy touched the cold terminal shell, turned around and walked into the corridor inside.
Bypassing a few corridors, Momothy found the previous transformation chamber, where his armor was being transformed, and the entire torso was removed until only a skeleton remained, and it seemed that there was still a long time left.
He lifted the terminal in his hand, and the ID authentication was printed into the next cabin, and he stepped inside.
"2D03 renovated single room, welcome to use."
Walking into the room, there was still a huge glass panel, the dark space suddenly brightened, and the console was also lit up with sporadic lights.
A large pile of things and the knife were placed in the input compartment next to it, and several huge mechanical arms behind the glass picked up the knife and placed it in the center.
"What to do now......
There were a lot of keys in front of him, and Mo Moxi really didn't understand.
"As always, I'm better to type in the program I gave you."
"Oh."
Some incomprehensible complex data appeared in his thoughts, and Mo Moxi quickly entered them into the console, and as he operated, various devices large and small began to rotate around the pitch-black Taidao.
"This kind of transformation doesn't take long, and it can be solved in tens of minutes. However, many materials are not ready-made, and they need to be refined and polished and assembled, so the amount of work will be more, just over an hour. During this time, you don't have to rush, look at the energy factories around, and then go to step on the point, don't forget our ultimate goal. ”
"Got it......"
Momothy nodded yes, looked at the various sparks flying behind the glass, and turned and walked out of the cabin.
Walking out of the building, the teenager, who had unloaded all kinds of large and small parcels on his body, took out the terminal and began to check what energy factories were around.
"There are three...... But I'm not an energy student, and I can't go in and check on the high-energy battery factory without proper procedures......"
"It's ID authentication, right?" Night asked.
"Yes, the factories are fully automated. Energy students from the college can go directly to the school, but most places are not allowed to enter...... Well, maybe I can borrow one from Davis, he's very popular. ”
"Okay, the time is not too urgent now, you can control it yourself."
Momothy nodded, pressed it on the mobile terminal, and a communication panel appeared in front of him.
……
Around Earend College.
A tall, burly man walked into an inn.
The counter robot looked up, and the face of a man was printed on the panel.
He wore Mohican's short blond hair, a black proton belt weave robe, some scattered proton straps dangling from his shoulders, and vintage leather boots crashing against the floor.
"Hello, sir. Is there anything I can do for you? ”
The man ignored the robot and instead surveyed the environment of the inn.
"This is where the fluctuations were emitted before, and it can't be wrong."
"Then the summoner may be someone from within the Ellent Academy. But I remember that the crown wars were generally not involved in the Eight Families of Martyrs......" a deep voice came through his head.
"Of course not, but this time there are two known masters who are not members of the family. One is the new head of the ninth family, a native of Huaxia, and the specific information is unknown. And the other one is wild, hum...... The Thorn Family's side has made a big mistake this time. ”
"Interesting. So do you think they'll do something about it? ”
"They'll go to that wild guy and convince him to do something for the Thorns, very simple. No one wants to miss out on the Rubik's Cube, and we're no exception. ”
"Then this place doesn't make sense. Savile, you don't know who's wild. ”
"Sure, but maybe we'll find something special?"
The Mohican man smiled and said to the robot that had been waiting for a long time, "I want to see the list of the nearest occupants." ”
"Sorry sir, we don't provide private information."
The picture panel on the robot's face flickered and turned into a pixelated smiley face.
"yes, that's a pity."
The Mohican man shrugged.
"Is there anything else I need to do, sir? Please refer to the price above. If you want to dine, we can ...... it for you."
"Smack!"
The broad palm was directly imprinted on the robot's face, and the side of the palm instantly opened and drilled out a few small electronic touches, which were directly inserted into the robot's brain.
"Of course, let me see what's in there."
The man grinned, the intrusive electronic brain bringing him countless messages, and a large number of names flashed before his eyes.
"Very handy skills. I remember the last time I participated in the War for the Crown was hundreds of years ago here, and I didn't expect it to be so easy to get information. ”
"Of course. Also, your form will change according to the times, so look forward to your new armor. Savile's eyes flashed with blue dots, and his immersed gaze quickly swept over the vast expanse of text.
"I'm looking forward to it." The voice in his head seemed to smile.
"Hah, I knew it was fun...... Looks like you'll have one more sacrifice tomorrow. ”
Saville's smile suddenly became extremely hideous, and the endless words in front of him suddenly came to a standstill, and his gaze slowly fixed on a person's name.
Kathy Murphylar.
……
Sitting on the empty hoverbus, Momothy looked boredly at the copy of his ID in his hand, and the virtual display above was playing the various activities of the West Coast Moontide Day, as if the center of the celebration was Earend College.
"It seems that your friend is really interesting, he borrowed it so quickly, and he is not afraid that you will use it for some bad things?"
Night said with some sighs. In that old world, it was difficult to borrow an ID card.
"What we're going to do seems to be a bad thing......
Momothy rolled his eyes and put away the card in his hand. The hovercar slowly came to a halt and stepped out of the car with a gentle synthesized sound.
"This is it, West Coast Pictogram Energy Plant...... What a strange name. ”
Looking at the magnificent gigafactory in front of him, Momothy instinctively took a look.
It can be regarded as the size of three football fields on campus, maybe this should be called an industrial park.
The flowing strips of light neon make the whole building look more like some mechanical office buildings out there now. Inside the gate of the tall grid fence, there are robots walking around with rifles in hand.
"A lot of guards......"
"It's just a bunch of programs, let's go inside." Night urged.
Momothy clenched his card tightly and walked to the door.
The door lit up with a blue dot of light, and then projected in front of him, and a human figure made of a blue web appeared in front of him.
"Hello, sir. This is the area under the door of the pictographic company. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter. ”
Momothy flashed the card in his hand: "I'm Ellent Academy...... Students from the Department of Energy are here for an academic visit. ”
Mo Moxi was a little inexplicably nervous in his heart, after all, he was not here to do business.
"Wait a minute."
A cone of scanning light appeared on the blue figure, sweeping over his copy of ID.
"ID authentication complete. Proof of Visitor, granting basic permissions. A cold synthesized sound came from the figure's mouth, and the door clicked twice and quickly opened from both sides.
"Lasavile, please come in."
"Lhasaville...... Good. ”
Momothy put away the copy ID and walked in, he remembered that the name was the name on the ID.
After entering, the door quickly closed, and a robot followed him, and its two-meter-tall body had a cold sense of intimidation.
A blue virtual avatar lit up on the imaging panel on his chest: "Hello, Lasaville." I'm the lead AI system here, you can call me Megan. ”
"Uh...... Okay, Megan. ”
Megan said, and the robot she was controlling pulled out a data version from the storage compartment behind her: "This is the range you can pass." ”
Momothy took the panel, and a map of blue, yellow, and red patches appeared.
"Green is the area where you can pass, yellow is the no-go area, and red is the danger zone. Would you like to accompany or visit alone? ”
Momothy looked at it, compared to the huge yellow area, the green area is simply pitiful, and even the red danger zone is much more than the green.
"I'll be fine alone."
"Okay, I hope you can follow the visitor rules on the panel, and I hope you enjoy your visit."
As soon as the robot finished speaking, the blue panel disappeared and its body returned to patrolling.
"I'm feeling a little nervous......"
Momothy walked through the door and surveyed the white interior.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, I've come in now, but I've got the map, so I'll make a copy of it right away, and I'll go straight out."
"This is going out?" Mo Moxi was stunned, "Anyway, I'm also in, why do you have to go shopping?" ”
"Whatever you want, there is still plenty of time now, there is still more than an hour before your armor is completed, and your knife should be completed at the same time, you control the time yourself. At night, you'll have to train your new weapon in real life. ”
"I see."
Momothy connected the data panel with his terminal, and then reproduced the entire map through the background method handed over to him at night, and walked around with great interest.
"The yellow area over here is the warehouse, and the manufacturing ......workshop over there," Momothy wandered around as he looked at the map, and whenever he walked to the yellow area, a large orange and yellow sign appeared on the door to prevent him from sneaking in to take a look.
As we walked on, we gradually came to a spacious space.
"Wow......"
Momothy's eyes widened.
Two huge curved staircases extend around the massive processor in the middle, several meters high.
"Looks like a place to go to the second floor......"
Momo was raising his leg to go up to take a look, but the sound of some conversation suddenly came into his ears.
"Anyone?"
The boy shuddered, and subconsciously hid behind the huge processor.
"Dizzy, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just a few people, but you have the proper formalities to get in......"
Night watched Momoxie's movements and was speechless for a while.
Mo Mo scratched his head embarrassedly, and was about to come out from behind, when he was halfway done, some words floated to his ears, and he immediately took it back.
"What they say is ......"
The sound of small footsteps came from above, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked down the stairs.
The petite girl with beautiful purple hair was chattering about something, and the burly man next to her kept responding, looking grovelly.
The girl was wearing a gorgeous long dress, the purple rattan thorn lamp light pattern outlined a strange and magnificent pattern on the luxurious long skirt, the mechanical high heel lit up a short energy lamp body, and the sole of the shoe made a clicking sound when it touched the metal ground.
"I said, Mult, why do we have to come to this place of the hell? I really don't know what my father thinks. ”
"Miss Siff, my lord can't bear to give up this opportunity like this, you know, that thing is something that our family has been pursuing for thousands of years." The burly man was dressed in a black suit, and his muscular muscles held the clothes high.
"He's just going to send me to death! Come to death! Who doesn't know what will happen during this time of ocean current storms! I didn't get the Spell Mark, so I asked me to come to the thief who stole my permissions? The girl puffed out her fair pretty face, pouted her lovely lips and kept complaining, but her words were very inconsistent with the gorgeous long dress on her body, and she looked like a wayward girl.
"The West Coast is so big, where do I go to find that guy? And that damn guy probably didn't make it to the West Coast at all! Ahh......hhh It's annoying, it's annoying! ”
The girl stomped her foot, and the two of them had already walked down the stairs.
Momothy hid behind the huge processor and listened in a fog.
"What are they talking about?"
"Boy, hold steady, they're talking about you." Night's voice suddenly became a little serious.
"I ?!!" Momothy was shocked.
"That's right. The Eight Families of Martyrs are in control of the direction of the crown war, and they want to keep the ultimate energy in their hands all the time. But are you a member of the family of martyrs? Thorns, Murphyra, Siddilu, Oak, Fujita, Delgan, Semos Villa, Mouriso. Is there the name Krauser in this? ”
"No...... So what do I do now...... You'll be suspicious when you go out, right? ”
"Listen carefully, this is shit luck, maybe you can get some information."
The two of them stood under the processor, the girl's voice getting louder and louder, and Momothy eavesdropping carefully.
"Miss, the informant told me that someone from the Oak family had arrived, and that surveillance had seen him around Ellent College."
"Someone from the Oak family?" The girl's voice was distinctive, "It can't be that damn guy from Saville, right!?" ”
Siv's face changed.
"That's right. He did not hide his whereabouts at all. Both the airline and the hotel where he lived had captured his movements. And his scope of activity is gradually shrinking towards the Ellent College, as if something has been discovered. ”
"Damn, that guy is a total lunatic! Who knows what the hell he's summoned! He and I don't have to deal with each other! I'm going to die here after the second shock starts! No, I want to go back to the family! ”
"Miss, just stop...... This is a task given to you by the master, and none of us can leave until the storm is over...... And don't you want what the master has prepared for you? Moult's words made Seve gradually calm down, and the girl snorted heavily.
"Okay, okay...... Has anything special happened at Ellent College lately? For example, the red light is scattered, the mentally ill who talks to themselves, the student or the teacher who suddenly becomes stronger, or whatever. ”
Moult listened to it with tears and laughter: "Miss, those things appear when they are said to appear." But there's been a big thing on the West Coast lately. The West Coast Moontide Day Celebration is held at Alendt College. ”
"Moontide day? Can you still see the moon now? Seve said, crossing her arms.
"Don't worry about these little things...... Why don't you think about what Savile will do......"
The girl was stunned, and then shouted, "He won't kill people at the celebration, right?" No, take me to the stronghold, don't let that guy mess around here! And I haven't settled the account with him last time! ”
The girl walked out angrily, and Moult smiled wryly and walked out after the girl.
Seeing that both of them were gone, Momothy breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to come out from behind.
"Wait."
He stopped and waited quietly for a few minutes, waiting until the footsteps were completely gone, and then he stepped out from behind and walked towards the exit.
"Someone is going to make a big splash at tomorrow's celebration! No, I have to tell my mentor about this......" Momothy looked anxious.
"Save it, boy. Aside from whether you understand what they're saying, first tell anyone in the school that this kind of information from an uncertain source will only make people think you're crazy. ”
"What then?"
"First of all, we can draw a conclusion, this little dwarf named Sifu should be the eldest lady of the Thorn Family, and it may be the one who was robbed of the master's qualification by you, a wild master, in the future."
Momothy looked at the location of the rune on his right arm.
"Then, there may be a big guy named Saville on the Oak family's side, and he has located the search to the Ellent Academy, and he may do something at tomorrow's celebration, but it may have something to do with you. When you inadvertently summoned me before, the fluctuations must have leaked out in that bar. ”
"Looking for me? So what should I do? Momothy was a little flustered.
"Go and get your things, your identity is not revealed, you can fight whoever you want to fight tomorrow. It's up to that Savile to do something. What's the matter, now there is a sense of crisis? So hurry up and prepare how to give me all the high-energy batteries in the warehouse next time and release me, it doesn't matter how you want to make trouble at that time. ”
"What's going on...... Momothy shook his head and quickly quickened his pace forward.
The door to the exit opened, and Momothy walked straight out, as if he had hit something in his chest, and a delicate "ouch" sound came from in front of him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He was stunned and looked down.
A girl in a luxurious dress was sitting on the ground with her forehead covered, her long purple hair flowing down her shoulders.
Nest grass!
