Chapter 2172: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (10)

At the same time, in an underground base in Cairo.

A man sat in the shadows, seemingly contemplating something important. In front of him was a small handheld computer with alternating flashing lights, a high-performance computing device that was calculating signals from dedicated encrypted communication lines in order to send and receive encrypted messages as clearly as possible without revealing secrets. He was using the Egyptian military's highest-level encrypted communication line, but he was clearly not a member of the military. Or, on the contrary, this mysterious man hiding in a converted base on the site of a low-level military base happens to be the leader of the rebel army called the "Egyptian Liberation Movement Association", who is working against the Egyptian military junta.

"Oh, since you took the initiative to contact me, it means that you have made up your mind?" asked the mysterious man named Preston.

"Yes. On the other end of the microphone, the person who used the same special encrypted communication to talk to the leader of the rebels, Preston, was none other than the leopard warrior Palamidadis: "But in the future, I am not doing you a favor for any [justice], nor do I want to change anything in this country. The reason why I will help you is purely for profit. If you help me, I'll help you, it's as simple as that. ＂

"Understood. That's fair. Preston replied unemotionally, "So, what exactly do you want from us, Mr. Blade Monster?"

The other party immediately used this kind of title, and Palamides felt a chill down his spine when he heard it.

"I want ------" The Leopard Warrior put down the special communicator--- which was part of the Blade Monster suit that Preston had given him before--- then he turned his head to look at the great mage Logan and the succubus Vivien beside him, and after making a look at the two of them, he nodded and said, "I will help you destroy the android factory organized by the academy that was mentioned in the plan." But I don't want you to be paid in money. If only you could give me a copy of the recycled android manufacturing technology. In particular, the technology of [anthropomorphic exterior]. ＂

"[Anthropomorphic outfit]. There was a sudden silence on the Preston side. After a long time, he responded: "Mr. Silverwing, the [Anthropomorphic Appearance] technology you are talking about is, to put it bluntly, the use of a biochemical material to coat a layer of [skin] on the surface of the Golem or the second-generation android, so that the appearance of the second-generation android looks similar to that of a human. This technique can only be used with androids, and it also requires equipment to cultivate and coat the skin of this biochemical material. Are you sure that this technology is enough, and even if you have it, you can't use it without the corresponding equipment?"

"You don't have to worry about equipment, you will always think of a way to solve it. Palamides replied.

"What about the technology to produce artificial humans?" asked the other tentatively.

"There's no need for you to worry about this, there are already androids here that can be used. The leopard warrior said again: "So, deal, or not?"

Preston was silent for a few more moments.

"Okay, deal. It seemed to take a long time before the leader of the rebels replied, "If we capture the Academy's workshop and successfully recover the Academy's technology, we will give you the technology related to [Anthropomorphic Clothing] according to the agreement." But you must also abide by one agreement: this technology will allow any artificial person to easily imitate a human and blend into society. Your Excellency, don't use this technique to do bad things, right?"

"It's not going to be used to do bad things, so don't worry about it. Palamides replied casually. If he wants to do bad things, he is also worried that the rebels who have the academy technology will do bad things, and now why has he become the one to be questioned.

"Okay. Preston snorted, "The location of the Academy's artificial field will be sent to your communicator later." Just follow the instructions of the mission. ＂

Then he hung up the line and didn't even give time to say hello. At the same time, there is an encrypted file that is transmitted, and it is almost impossible to crack without using the system's built-in decryption algorithm. The contents of the encrypted package should be the content of this mission, although Palamides has not had time to take a closer look.

"Palamy. Vivian, who was watching all this, couldn't help but snort, "Can this man named Preston really be trusted? ＂

"I wasn't stupid enough to trust that kind of person. However, as a target for mutual use, I still have to make full use of his intelligence resources. Palamides shrugged, "It's much more convenient than if we blindly went to the Academy's artificial farm." ＂

"Wouldn't it be better for me to go along? Vivien asked lightly, "If there's any research material over there that is worth recycling, I'll be able to get it as soon as possible." ＂

"No, don't go along. Palamides shook his head and said, "God knows if there will be any surveillance cameras in the academy's workshop to record our actions?" I'm just a leopard man at best, there are still many black panthers in this world, and even if I see my face, no one can identify me as me." Your face is recognizable to too many people in Great Britain, and it will be very bad to reveal your identity. It's even worse to have Great Britain and [the Academy] directly pitted against each other because of your identity. Although Preston was a profiteer who intended to make war money, he was still a man who kept his promises. He said he would give me the [anthropomorphic outfit] technology, and he would definitely give it to him eventually------ if he didn't give it, our cooperation would be completely over. And there are many places where he needs to rely on me in the future, and for the sake of long-term interests, he will not simply terminate this relationship. ＂

"Hmm...... If you think so. Vivien looked away and hummed thoughtfully.

Although there are still many suspicious things going on, Vivien also has to admit that they lack information and have little time left. If they want to deploy their set plan in a limited time, relying on the forces of the resistance is also a last resort.

"Whew, don't worry. Even if I failed the mission, I was at least able to make the most of my speed. I'll be fine. "The Leopard Warrior donned the silver-gray robe of the [Blade Monster] suit and put on a gentleman's hat of the same hue.

[Blade Monster] is a mysterious knight in Egyptian legend a hundred years ago, specializing in hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and upholding justice. This outfit is completely a replica of the legendary mysterious man's outfit, and it has bulletproof fibers, and an optical camouflage function that can last for more than 200 seconds, and the performance of the suit is extremely good.

"Old mage," Palamides turned to look at Logan sitting next to him, and at a golem made of wood next to Logan, "After using [Anthropomorphic Clothing], can this kid really be fake?

"Let him sit still honestly, pretending to be your little leopard, and he shouldn't be exposed. The old mage smiled mysteriously, "Isn't the mysterious organization [Academy] already successfully infiltrating various government agencies in Egypt using various artificial humans with [anthropomorphic outfits]?" If none of the androids that infiltrated it were exposed, then the stand-in here would definitely not be exposed either. ＂

"Then again...... Is this kid willing to sacrifice himself to help us?" asked Palamides again.

The little wooden golem nodded, counting as an answer.

"I finally made him a body so he could move freely. He hasn't made any trouble in the past few days, and he can be regarded as honest. "But it seems that he is still not very happy with the rough wooden body." If you coated him with [anthropomorphic clothing] to make him look more like a [human], he would be happy to do so. It's just a deal, you give him a favor and he will help you. ＂

The little wooden golem nodded obediently.

"This kid ...... Can't speak?" asked Vivien curiously.

"Well, the voice module was installed for him anyway. As the [core] of the golem, the orb with the human soul should have been properly connected to the speech module, and it stands to reason that he can speak. But I never saw him speak, just nodding and shaking his head. I think this kid probably couldn't speak at all, and he didn't have a similar education when he was a street kid, and then he ...... Well, he was captured by the people of the academy and made [core]. ＂

As Logan described everything in such a bland way, Palamides could faintly see the little wooden golem's hand trembling slightly. Was it excitement, or anger, or fear when he remembered everything? But if he reacted to those words, it meant that there was indeed a living soul within his wooden shell. And he could clearly understand Palamides' conversation.

It's not so much that he can't speak, but that he's just in permanent silence, not knowing what to say. This is obviously despair of everything, giving up resistance, and resigned to it. From the descriptions of Beddie and others, it seems that the evil organization [Academy] has captured countless such street children to make the [core], which means that there are many, many more such children. It's scary to think about. Palamides would agree to destroy the Academy's android workshop, in large part because of this.

However, Vivien's original plan was to use the little wooden golem to disguise herself as her youngest son, Hal, in order to set a trap to trick Morgoth. But Palamides gradually felt a little regretful and wondered if it was worth it. I always feel a little reluctant to sacrifice others to fulfill myself.

Beep beep. The communicator has also completed the decryption of the data, and the details of this mission are presented in front of the eyes of the leopard warriors. Although reluctant to do so, Palamides had already promised Preston to do the task, and it would be very embarrassing to regret it. It was difficult to ride a tiger, and he could only do the task.

"Hey, funny scarf. Vivien laughed when she saw Palamides wrapping the Blade monster's scarf around her face, "It doesn't match your cat face at all." ＂

"Don't laugh at me. Palamides shouldered the Blade Monster's weapon, Silver*: "Well, I'll be back when I go." ＂
