Although Cheng Shi didn't know why Karel did this, it must have something to do with their equipment for reshaping memories and body transformation, perhaps only people with high magical talent could be reshaped memories related to magic skills, so they needed such strict layers of screening.

After the four of them finished their meal with a smile and a smile, Cheng Shi took Oldman back to the hotel.

"What about the three of them? Haven't woken up yet? Cheng Shi asked in surprise when he saw Barbara and Carl.

Barbara shook her head helplessly: "The food here is so good, everything can be eaten as you like, and after they are full, they go back to their rooms to sleep." ”

"What?" Cheng Shi looked shocked, and then sighed, "Forget it, anyway, the three of them can't help much for the time being, just don't make a mess," he said and glanced at Carl, "Carl, tell me everything you saw in the underground laboratory in detail, there are some questions I need to know more details." ”

Carl nodded, and then began to tell Cheng Shi everything he had experienced in the underground laboratory of Crystal City.

"So, with regard to the human modification pod, you're actually just seeing the ones used by the lab staff, right?" After Carl finished speaking, Cheng Shi asked.

Karl bowed slightly: "Yes, the people there are extremely obedient, they never say anything, let alone ask anything, I don't know if they are still human, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are marionettes." ”

"It seems that this is just the tip of the iceberg, there may be more equipment for forming an army and transforming people," Cheng Shi muttered to himself, and then he asked, "Can you roughly guess the number of space warships they currently have in the underground reserve?" ”

Carl shook his head: "No, my position is too low, and in order to protect myself, I have to pretend to be similar to those people on the surface." I've only been to the underground arsenal once, but I'm impressed because it's so much space. I can't imagine how they had dug up such a huge space in the ground," he said for a moment, then scratched his head, as if recalling some important information, "By the way, there was a very strange feeling there, as if I felt that I had become lighter, at first I thought it was my own delusion, but then I saw that many people were able to lift objects that were obviously not commensurate with their strength, and I realized that it is not only people who become lighter, but everything that is lighter." ”

If Cheng Shi couldn't understand the size of the huge space that Carl described just now, then now he only needs to search a little bit of high school physics knowledge in his head to know what happened to the object that Carl said is getting lighter on a planet.

"Damn, these guys dug a cave near the core." Cheng Shi cursed silently.

On a planet, the closer you get to the core, the smaller the gravity, which is common sense in physics. But under normal circumstances, in a cave on the surface of a planet, it is difficult for normal people to intuitively feel the change in their own gravity, unless the cave is very close to the earth's core.

After Cheng Shi communicated with Carl about some details, combined with all the situations known now, he roughly came to a conclusion.

"Judging from the current situation, Karel doesn't want to make a quick decision," Cheng Shi said, "He wants to use Ticornia as a base to continuously send trans-universe fleets to the main universe, which can be verified from the method of selecting talents from the magic school." In addition, actively encouraging childbearing is actually preparing for a protracted war. Through the study and analysis of the body structure of the pure-blooded aliens on the earth, they should have basically mastered some special rules and information of the earth's human beings themselves, otherwise they would not have built human-transforming equipment on a large scale. And the construction of a huge underground weapons warehouse shows that they don't want some unrelated people to know that they are going to launch a large-scale transverse war for the time being, and it also shows that they don't want to start a war immediately, let alone fight to the death. ”

Cheng Shi said while thinking, and after a pause, he continued: "It seems that the generation of elven reformers before the degradation of the Tikonian civilization has already started to plan, but that time, for many reasons, they did not understand a lot of key information about the main universe, which ultimately caused the failure of the cross-universe race migration. And what they are planning now is a continuation of the great migration of their race. The difference is that this time they have made more adequate, more cautious, and more protracted preparations for war. ”

Oldman narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful look: "Actually, the previous generation of elven transformation people did not completely fail, they finally succeeded in sending people across the universe to Earth, but at that time, they didn't know it. We giants have also experienced the Great Migration, and I can understand the situation of the elves now, who have given almost everything. When the key character Karel wakes up, he receives a message from an alien on Earth, which almost becomes a real lifeline that he has been looking for for tens of thousands of years, and it is impossible for him to give up. But there is still a problem, even if the previous generation of elven reformers left a complete elven magic technology tree, I don't believe that Karel alone can make such a big move in Ticornia in such a short period of time. ”

Cheng Shi nodded silently, and after a long time, he muttered to himself, "The third force?" The god of creation in the small universe? Was it really just an accident that we woke up Karel? ”

"If we forcibly take Karel away, or kill him, will we be able to solve the problem here?" Barbara, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

Cheng Shi was shocked when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I agree with what the big man said, it is unlikely that Karel alone will create the current situation in Ticonia, and if there is really a third force that we have not yet discovered, it will not be so easy for us to kill Karel." ”

"The current social order in Tigoria is dominated by Karel, if it is just a simple low-level civilization, after Karel disappears, the society here may fall into chaos, but it will not last long, and a native regime will soon be established, relying on a stable underground ecology, civilization will continue to develop. But now that this place is almost open to the advanced civilization of the main universe, after the chaos of social order, it may only be a matter of time before the elven race perishes. Oldman, with his experience as a king, analyzed it seriously.

Cheng Shi nodded in agreement: "Now there will be many people here who are reshaped their memories every day, we have to take action, Karel is a key figure in stabilizing this society, we can't touch him for the time being, but we can still do it to publicly expose part of his conspiracy." ”

Knock knock knock......

Just as the four of them were plotting in Cheng Shi's room, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Cheng Shi said casually.

Three underage girls, who had slept enough, pushed the door open and walked in.

"What are you talking about? When do we act? Yang Yang asked without thinking.

Cheng Shi glanced at the girl in front of him who still had a hint of sleepiness on her face, and asked puzzledly, "What action?" You just eavesdropped on our conversation? ”

Yang Yang spread his hands innocently: "How is it possible?" I've just come in, and the elven old man is going to attack our hometown, shouldn't we settle accounts with him? ”

Cheng Shi touched his forehead, thinking that he shouldn't be serious with this big-chested girl at all, as far as her brain was concerned, she basically heard the conversation between their adults, how could she possibly propose a plan of action with more than three steps.

"We're going to take action, but it's not a large-scale hard hit, and the plan is to do something bad behind the scenes first, and do a little bit of damage." Cheng Shi looked at Yang Yang and said solemnly.

"Hey, this is fun," Yang Yang heard something that seemed to be very interesting, and immediately showed a very interested expression, "Landlord, tell me what I can do first?" ”

Cheng Shi instantly lowered his head and sighed, then pressed the owl girl's head: "You! Don't really assign you a task at that time, you admit it again. ”

"Brother-in-law, shouldn't we be positive characters?" Carl seemed to hear something different from Cheng Shi's words, and asked with some confusion.

Barbara glanced at Carl, and then said softly, "You just think of us as the positive characters who solve problems with the villain's method of solving problems, and you don't need to ask why, this is how this leader of ours usually expresses the problem." ”

The logic of Barbara's previous sentence, Carl silently debated for a long time, and finally he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Didn't Karel strengthen the people's faith in God? So let's start with faith. Cheng Shi ignored Barbara and Carl's whispering discussion about the way he expressed the problem, and thought about it with a wicked smile, "Let's let the people's faith collapse or shift first." ”

Oldman seemed to understand Cheng Shi's meaning very well, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is a good way." ”

At this time, the other people in the room didn't quite understand the tacit understanding between Cheng Shi and Oldman, so their eyes kept wandering on the two of them.

Cheng Shi noticed the anxious eyes of several people, so he said with a smile: "Let's let our 'king' say it, he understands this better." ”

Oldman hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "It's the former king, but our giant kingdom is a real democratic society, and the main contradiction is not in the country, so it is not so complicated to manage." When I was king, I didn't use much power against the people, and I wasn't good at it. On the contrary, reading the officialdom of your earth humans has given me a lot of insight. ”

"That book is less than 500 pages in total, and you haven't finished it yet?" Cheng Shi asked in some surprise.

Oldman laughed: "I've read it for the fifth time, and I still find it very interesting, for example, there is a little person who was caught bribing a corrupt official. When I read it for the first time, I felt that his actions had contributed to corruption and deserved it. But after reading it for the third time, I think he is just a chess piece, in a society as black as a crow, this kind of little person survives in the cracks, which is quite pitiful. ”

Everyone looked at Oldman's big square face after telling the story, and they were speechless.

"Big brother, you still haven't said what we should do?" Yang Yang shouted in a complaining tone.
