Chapter 55: Migno, the Anti-God Fighter
The city of Lunte vigorously destroyed the religious temple, it must have been instructed by Migno, the purpose is to capture magical creatures, so as to develop steam technology, as for what the ultimate goal is, it is still unknown, but the innocent people who died because of it, there are no longer a few, Ramini must have also had an incident similar to Rhodesnoe on the way back, if it weren't for an arm falling into the sea with a steam car, and the magic on the arm was washed away by the sea, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to keep an arm, so to speak, Migno was the one who really killed Ramini.
When he reached Migno's position, nothing could threaten him, including death, but only "reputation" was something he cherished very much, and Chen Ye believed that Migno would not damage his reputation before the final goal was achieved.
Migno immediately frowned and was silent, and then said for a while: "The president of the court is a friend of mine for many years, maybe I can write a private letter and ask him to help, Ramini has a lot of property, and one more share is also to calm down the current chaotic situation." β
As he spoke, Migno sat back at his desk, took out a quill pen and wrote a letter in a few clicks, and then stamped his private seal with wax, only a few minutes before and after, when Chen Ye received the letter, he immediately received a prompt.
[You have obtained "Count Migno's Personal Letter.] γ
Can inspire the Heavenly Book prompt? What does this mean? Representing this mediocre letter, it was actually a certain quest item that could inspire a side quest, Chen Ye immediately thought of the key to Dalima Fisso, and cherished the letter.
"Can I talk to Mr. Detective now?" Migno was not angry at all because of the unpleasantness that happened just now, and his face was still peaceful, but this made Chen Ye feel uneasy in his heart, and the other party's city government was far above his estimate.
Chen Ye shrugged, sat down opposite Migno and said, "Of course, the next thing is the detective's conversation with the client, maybe I can receive a commission with a good pay." β
"I wonder what Mr. Detective thinks of Steam technology?" Migno crossed his hands and supported his chin to look at Chen Ye and asked.
This is a very broad question, but for Chen Ye, there is already an answer, because he is subject to the meritorious task, he is almost bound to Migno, as long as he answers him, he can continue to advance the incident, Chen Ye knows very well that he has promoted the main process since he contacted Migno.
"Great, isn't it? When I was a child, steam technology was not yet developed, our gunpowder weapons were not as good as those in close quarters, transportation was also very backward, and it was difficult for farmers to even eat a full meal, and people living at the bottom often did many stupid things in order to survive, such as believing in evil gods, or imposing pain on the patience of others. Chen Ye put down his relaxed attitude and said, this can be regarded as his sincere words, from a certain point of view, his confirmation is that steam technology has changed the life of the ruled.
A smile appeared on Migno's face, as if this answer was the best compliment to him, and he asked very happily, "What do you think of the world?" You know, I'm talking about the whole world! β
"This is a world of mutual enslavement, the evil gods enslave the theocratic nobles, the nobles enslave the commoners, and the commoners are like captive livestock, although I have won the honor of the British Empire, so that I can walk freely on the streets of Lunt City, but I have never felt that I have real freedom, I am different from those yellow-skinned laborers on the docks, black-skinned coolies, the difference is only this shameful clothes." Chen Ye vaguely pointed out what Migno was thinking, and resolutely stood on Migno's side.
Migno's face was slightly red, he hadn't encountered such a "love-minded" conversation for a long time, it seemed that every word he said, revealing his inner meaning, could immediately be given full support, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of action and identity, he couldn't wait to have a hug with Chen Ye.
"Sir, Dr. Davy Jones asked me to tell you that the material for this experiment is very good, give him 12 hours of time, and this experiment will definitely be successful." Hermila knocked on the door at this time and reported to Migno.
Migno slapped the table excitedly, stood up directly, and then stretched out his hand to Chen Ye and said, "Mr. Detective, I feel you very much!" I am very satisfied with your greeting and the answer you just given, I wonder if you are interested in joining us in the Cotoso steam factory? I can make you a special operations officer! β
"We're here to help!" Chen Ye also stood up and shook hands with Migno, and the conversation between them didn't seem to touch any sensitive words, just shadowing something, but they understood each other's intentions, so that the deal was directly finalized.
[Main quest 2: Crazy Migno, one of the four evil gods in the world that the "Cotoso Steam Factory" has destroyed, they are the black dragon Nidhogg, the earthly python JΓΆrmungad, the giant wolf Fennil, and the North Sea monster Kraken. γ
[You have opened the faction contribution of the watch world, and you can redeem the corresponding rewards at Davy Jones]
[You turn in a magical creature "Medusa" and get a faction contribution of 5,000 points, because this surrender has an additional promotion effect on the key event path, and an additional 3,000 points will be awarded to the camp.γ γ
[You gain the "Magic Hunter" badge, which is a world-specific item that will be automatically destroyed when you leave this world.] γ
[Magic Hunter Badge (Provisional): Lv0; Quality blue; ornaments; Ignores 30% resistance to Inner World creatures; The latest technology of the "Cotoso Steam Factory" is equipped with a steam power core with internal circulation, which can record the number of kills of magical creatures in the inner world by the wearer, and absorb free death magic energy, so as to continuously improve the effect and upgrade the equipment; This is a badge that can only be awarded by Migno's most trusted special personnel, which represents a certain identity and a certain ability; 0/100γ
"I see!" Chen Ye groped for the "Magic Hunter Badge" in his hand and thought for a while, he always thought that the key to the main task was the Cotoso Steam Factory, because in his memory, the rapid development of steam technology in the past ten years, the role of the Cotoso Steam Factory is too great, and the factory is very committed to the development of scientific and technological weapons, those civilian machinery, are basically obsolete military technology, and it has also been authorized to other small and medium-sized steam factories in the surrounding cities, so it seems that Migno is simply a spiritual fighter against oppression of human beings! Instantly it felt like he was tall.
But in fact, Chen Ye will not think that the other party is selfless dedication, when he falls into a trough, there are only two choices, one is to compromise, hoping to get better slowly, and the other is to go completely crazy, gambling everything and fighting hard, "If you can't redeem me, I will destroy you", probably based on this idea, Migno will have a retaliatory action against the inner world, and in that operation, he accidentally discovered the promotion of magical creatures on steam technology, to be exact, the invention of the "steam power core" , Chen Ye probably also knows why there is such a huge deviation in the direction of science and technology in this world, and he has not even invented electricity, but he has played steam power and metal machinery so slippery, and this root cause lies in this.
The attribute of "ignoring resistance" is very ferocious, not only including ignoring physical armor, and even ignoring magic protection, but also ignoring the resistance of abnormal states, which means that when he encounters a magical creature like "Medusa" again, Chen Ye no longer has to fight hard, as long as he can break the defense, after triggering 1.5 times the base force, he can instantly burst out with a round of damage to kill her.
Migno encouraged Chen Ye again, and then told him to cooperate with Dr. David Jones's experiment, he didn't say that the other party could get any reward, because the conversation just now had made him agree that Chen Ye was the same "anti-god fighter" as him, with common ideals and ambitions, of course, he didn't think that he would only do his behavior after his legs were crippled, praying to the gods to no avail, and gradually distorting his psychology, how could he have common revenge with a normal person like Chen Ye.
Chen Ye was able to kill Medusa independently, and it was also a variety of coincidences that collided together, first of all, it was Migno who destroyed the sacrificial temple, and he originally planned to hunt on the night of the second day, but the three major dock riots caused by Zhou Dong caused a large number of red-clothed policemen to die, and the police force of the entire city of Lente fell into a state of passive defense, so that Migano did not dare to act rashly, after all, the "Cotoso Steam Factory" was his base camp, which is why Chen Ye did not encounter Migno's hunting at all when he tracked the magic hole, This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, whether it is Rodesno, or Ramini, in fact, they are all accidental deaths caused by Migno when he allowed the magic to develop hollowly, but Ramini's identity is special, and there is no obvious supernatural phenomenon, so it is classified as an ordinary accidental death of drunk driving and falling out of the guardrail into the sea.
Hermila put on Chen Ye's protective suit and helmet again, and then took him to Dr. David Jones's laboratory, which was nearly a kilometer away, which opened Chen Ye's eyes, and it was not on the ground, but also sank dozens of meters underground through an elevator.
In the absence of electricity, this underground operation, first of all, lighting is a problem, steam power may be able to replace some electric drive to complete mechanical work, but it is impossible to produce lighting, but David Jones is a genius, he used the reverse operation of the steam power core, made a steam machine like a "solar cell" to store "sunlight", and then through the multiple reflections of colored glass and the slow release frequency, simulated the "moonlight" irradiation, which makes a person enter this underground laboratory, There is an eerie feeling of entering the night, but it is very bright, surrounded by a pale blue light, and on the ceiling, a huge steam machine, wrapped in layers of tinted glass, is slowly running.
In the huge space of the underground laboratory, there are dots of blue crystals floating in levitation, this is a magic crystallization visible to the naked eye, you can imagine how deep the magic power is contained in this space, Chen Ye can also guess how many magical creatures have been terminated here.
Chen Ye also finally understood why he was walking in the factory area to pass the protective clothing and wear a helmet, the role of the protective clothing is probably just a cover-up, what is really needed is the helmet, because the overflowing magic may be scattered through the vent, although David Jones must have taken corresponding measures, but it cannot be completely eliminated, the yellow glass cover can well shield this vision, so that no one will have a little doubt about things here.
"Doctor, this is your new assistant, over to you!" Hermila called out and left the lab.
Dr. Davy Jones was wearing a white coat, and there was no hair in the middle of his head, and the rest of the place was scattered with obviously untreated white hair, and a pair of thick glasses framed on his face, even covering most of his face, but the burly and majestic body, with well-developed muscles, did not match his image at all.
David Jones put down the machine he was assembling, he was more than 2 meters tall, a lot taller than Chen Ye, and when he stood up to face Chen Ye, Chen Ye almost thought that there was a wall in front of him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, buddy!" Did you get that Medusa? You really have the ability, this magical creature is not low in the battle sequence of the inner world, it is because of her that I can complete the power core part of the steam armor, come! Look at my masterpiece. β
Chen Ye had already seen the huge machinery assembled on the experimental table, with a total length of more than twenty meters, covered with unknown metal that shimmered gray fluorescence, Chen Ye knocked it, there was a feeling of "stone", but the sound was a veritable steel.
"This is the 'Steel Stone Skin', the magic of Medusa's skull is very peculiar, it can directly petrify the covered substance, but this petrification is not really turned into stone, but multiplies the armor, but more importantly, here, this is the location of the armored heart, and the power core made from the remnants of Medusa's corpse can drive such a huge art!" Davy Jones pointed to the middle of the massive machine.
Perhaps it was the reason why it was not completely successful, this huge steam armor called "mechanical art", Chen Ye didn't feel how powerful, but the resistance to beating was certain, Chen Ye said to David Jones: "Doctor, your art is indeed ...... It's intriguing, though, to complete it completely, you may need more magical creatures, and maybe you can redeem some gear for me so I can better provide them. β
"Of course...... Davy Jones's thick glasses flashed one after another, and his words changed from excitement to mechanization, and the whole scene seemed to be still, only Chen Ye's retina appeared in the redemption list.
As Chen Ye expected, what could be exchanged was basically the props related to steam machinery, and Chen Ye even saw the "Morath Soldier Ant" firearm that he couldn't forget, but it was worth 2W camp contribution, which was not much for a complete set of silver quality main weapons, but Chen Ye felt very troublesome.
"It would be great if I could come to the camp of the inner world, the magic department there is more suitable for my growth......" Chen Ye closed the exchange window a little helplessly, and David Jones immediately recovered.
Davy Jones scratched his head, seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, and thought carefully before saying, "Where did you just go?" Oh, yes! The structure of the steam armor, this set of steam armor has a very complex structure, and it seems to me that it is still a bit big now, and it will not really be very flexible to operate......"
Chen Ye was thinking about his own affairs, and he currently found that the contribution of the watch world had two components, the first was to hand over the magical creatures to Migno, and the second was to complete the camp tasks issued by David Jones.
The camp task is similar to the division mission, there is no limit to the number of times the world is reincarnated, but it is often random, sometimes you may be able to contribute more than a dozen points if you run an errand, and sometimes even release a task that allows you to save the world, and the reward is only a few hundred contributions, of course, the content of the camp mission release is still closely related to the key person, if Chen Ye is a technician, there must be some temporary basic skills, but he can complete Davy Jones's camp task, but now it can only be through "turning in magical creatures" to get camp contributions, and the magic creatures that can be killed in the table world are really limited, so this time in the reincarnation world, he can definitely not get much camp contributions.
Chen Ye had already written down the camp contributions needed to exchange the items with a higher priority, and began to chat with Davy Jones, and when he found that the other party also had a very high level of mechanical maintenance, Chen Ye had an idea, took out the "Yax Soldier Bee" and asked: "I obtained this firearm by chance, but it was easy to use, but it seems to be damaged, does the doctor have a way to repair it?" β
"Oh, it's Yax's design! I've always thought he's a flashy guy, and you can see from this weapon that he's wasted too much effort on lines, and if a weapon doesn't have a lot of power, what can it be called? I can't fix it, but I can remodel it, you may have to pay some price, how about 5000 francs? You know, I rarely do it myself...... Okay, that's it! Come pick it up this time tomorrow and bring me two bottles of rum by the way. David Jones said.
Although Chen Ye is penniless now, he will not worry about 5000 Fei Lang, the letter in his pocket can bring him a lot of wealth, after thanking David Jones again for his kindness, Chen Ye walked out of the factory with protective clothing and helmet on the ship, because he was wearing the "Magic Hunter Badge", no one stopped him anymore, and the red-clothed police officer who intercepted him at the beginning even showed a look of awe, which made Chen Ye know that the pattern on the badge represented Migno's rights in a certain aspect.
"Hey! Mr. Detective, I thought you weren't coming out! Do you want to get rid of me so much? Katrin rushed out from the side and patted Chen Ye on the shoulder, her signature long red hair made it hard to ignore her.
