Chapter Eighty-Five: Settle In
"Yundong Xiaoyou, more than 2,000 years ago, my Moore family was enshrined here," Morton said with a smile, "At that time, this planet was a desert planet, and the composition of the atmosphere, soil, water sources, etc., was not suitable for human life at all. The patriarch almost fought with the emperor for this, but fortunately, after a thousand years of transformation, this planet has become an A-class habitable planet, and the manpower and material resources invested in it can be called sky-high. ”
Looking around, Zheng Dong saw an avenue extending under the hanging island, with trees on both sides distributed, not rigid, and the mountains in the distance were undulating, inhabited by birds and beasts.
This is an air dock built on the base of a huge plain, and when you look back, various ships are stationed, especially the Kunpeng. The docks are busy, the air transport ships are intertwined, the ground cargo machines are like hemp, and the red-clad guards of the Moore family patrol from time to time to check the cargo.
"This is a business planet," Morton said, "The Moore family is the richest family in the empire today, and enjoys many business privileges, so the little friend came at the right time, and the day after tomorrow, the centennial Moore auction is about to take place, and then I can take the little friend to visit." ”
"Oh? Are those shipping auction items? Zheng Dong's eyes lit up and he pointed to the dock.
"Hehe, partly," said Moulton, "the auction is a grand one, with more than a hundred sub-venues, and these are the items that belong to the sub-venues, and as for the truly precious things, they are stored on the other side of the planet. ”
"And what are we visiting?"
"Don't worry, Yundong Xiaoyou, you are a distinguished guest of Yunshan Gate, and we will reserve a place for you in the VIP seat of the main venue."
"Can I participate in the auction?" Zheng Dong asked.
"What?" Morton was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "Yundong Xiaoyou, you just came out of the Falling Dragon Galaxy, I'm afraid you didn't have any money on you, right?" However, I can call the shots and take a picture or two of your favorite items for you. ”
"Commander-in-chief?" Mohr frowned.
"What? Can't Yunshanmen guests enjoy such treatment? Moulton said.
"Any item in the main auction will not be less than 300,000 standard energy crystals."
"Changkong, Yundong Xiaoyou is a distinguished guest!" Moulton is coloring.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Moore bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Hehe," Morton looked at Zheng Dong, who was watching the play with relish, and said with a smile, "Yundong Xiaoyou, if you choose it then, I will definitely take a picture for you." ”
"Thank you, Commander Moulton." Zheng Dong clenched his fists.
"It's okay," Moulton smiled, "I'll introduce you to the other ...... of the Moore family."
After about half an hour of walking, the hanging island was already overhead.
At the end of the avenue, there was a circular platform with a radius of nearly fifty meters, surrounded by guardrails, and four red-armored warriors stood silently.
"Little friend, it's here, please come to the stage." Everyone walked onto the platform, and a red light swept through.
"Anomaly found." The intelligence sounded an alarm, and a pillar of light locked on Zheng Dong.
"This is Yundong Xiaoyou, from Yunshan Gate, please register." Morton said mildly.
"Yes." The pillar of light gathered basic information on Zheng Dong before disappearing.
"Yundong Xiaoyou has not registered citizenship in the empire before?" Morton asked.
"Nope."
"Oh. Now that you are registered, you will not be able to enjoy the services provided by the Empire without registering for citizenship. ”
"Isn't this platform owned by the Moore family?" Zheng Dong raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.
"Hehe, now all the smart devices in the empire are connected to the central intelligence of the empire, and there are no absolutely private intelligent devices." Morton said, "When you enter the Empire of Man, you are in the information network of the Empire. Yundong Xiaoyou, do you have any thoughts on this? ”
Zheng Dong met Moulton's meaningful but restrained gaze, and laughed in his heart that while Moulton speculated about his attitude towards the empire, he also had some guesses about the possible contradictions within the empire.
Is the imperial government a centralized and repressive rule?
"It's a little uncomfortable, I've been trapped alone in the Falling Dragon Galaxy for so long, and I'm really not used to being watched all the time." Zheng Dong said the word "surveillance" very seriously, and saw Moulton's smile as he wished.
"Yundong Xiaoyou is from Yunshan Gate, a huge empire, only the Yunshan Galaxy is not under the surveillance of the empire, it is completely independent and closed, like a paradise." Moulton said, "But it can also get a glimpse of the unfathomable strength of Yunshanmen, and it is an honor for the Moore family to have the support of Yunshanmen, which is represented by Yundong Xiaoyou." ”
Zheng Dong secretly disdainful, when did I say that I represented Yunshanmen? I didn't say anything about supporting you.
"Can I go up and have a look at your mansion now?" Zheng Dong bypassed the topic and said with a smile.
"Of course." Morton nodded, nodding to the four red-armored warriors on duty.
The red-armored warrior raised his arm and manipulated it against the dial on it.
Red rays weave in the air, weaving a web in the air, and then enveloping everyone.
Backbite.
With a slight sound, the circular platform began to rise. It rose quickly, without warm-up, and in the blink of an eye it reached a high altitude overlooking the vast plains. On the plains, all kinds of ships are moored, and there is a prosperous scene.
When the mountains and waterfalls on the hanging island appeared in his sight, Zheng Dong suddenly felt an extremely grand aura of dark energy.
The person who can exude this kind of aura is at least a planet-level body refiner, and there are no less than a hundred ways to feel it just now. Zheng Dong frowned slightly, but he happened to notice Moulton's subtle glance at his eyes.
"Yundong Xiaoyou, we have arrived, this is the castle of my Mo family. Intelligent systems are privileged and completely independent. Morton said.
The platform continued to rise, and then suddenly stopped. The whole process did not cause any discomfort to people, and it was obviously extremely high-tech.
Zheng Dong looked up and saw a mountain and river. Vegetation flourishes, songbirds whirl, and a wide stone path extends from the platform, disappearing and appearing, with winding paths.
Among the mountains and rivers, castle houses are lined up one after another, and at the highest point, a red building that pierces the stars stands.
"Yundong Xiaoyou, the symbol of the Mo family, is a blood-colored sword that pierces the sky." "But the Moore family is mainly in business, and it doesn't match the longsword. It was designed to commemorate the first patriarch of the Moore family, an ancestor who made countless contributions to the development of the empire. ”
"The first patriarch." Zheng Dongmo rubbed his chin.
"Yes, Blood Sword Ancestor." Morton said, "A long sword with a four-dimensional intelligent system installed can slay the enemies of the starry sky. ”
As he spoke, everyone had already walked along the stone path, and the red-armored guards on both sides bowed and saluted.
Subsequently, Moulton arranged Zheng Dong in a stone castle hidden in the woods, and Moulton was ordered to stay in the sky to "protect".
The stone castle is divided into three floors, equipped with servants, there are many rooms, Zheng Dong is not informal, each room goes around, but he experiences the life of a modern person.
In the room on the third floor, there is a refining room overlooking the mountains and rivers of the hanging island. There were indeed faint traces of dark energy in it, but for a stellar refiner like Zheng Dong, the effect was minimal.
Zheng Dongpan sat on the stone platform, and his thoughts flew through quickly.
These 10,000 years have been a bit trance-like.
The pride of overthrowing Barnard's rule still has a bit of flavor, and Zheng Dong still remembers that the woman named Wang Yachen suddenly broke into his and Zhang Wenqi's room, leading the two to an unimaginable future; The memories of the bloody battle with the Red Flame Empire are still there, and how many disasters that huge and terrifying creatures have brought to mankind; and Meizu Blue because of his play with the earth, Zhang Wenqi died tragically, and the earth was divided like a toy...... Ten thousand years have passed in a flash.
Suddenly, there was a tingling in his heart, and Zheng Dong pressed down the name to death. However, it was not able to hold it down in the end.
He shed a few tears.
Tears fell down the stone platform and splashed in all directions, reflecting the shattered starlight of the night sky.
At this moment, Zheng Dong just wanted to lie down and rest, if he could, he could sit next to his brother who understood him.
Following.
On this day, many important figures of the Moore family came to visit Zheng Dong, all of them were extremely cordial, and Zheng Dong could also see that they were all real core figures, enough to touch the secrets of the Moer family.
In the afternoon, another group of people arrived, but they were not from the Moore family, but belonged to the Dove family. The leader was a white-haired old man, but with a fierce face and a tall body. In fact, the people of the Dove family all revealed a domineering and unruly, and they were not very polite to Zheng Dong, but just discussed some long-standing things about Yunshanmen to confirm Zheng Dong's identity.
Zheng Dong was naturally very cooperative, and when he left, the white-haired old man told him: "Old man Dofugon, the head of the Dofu family, intends to make friends with Yunshanmen, and I hope to convey it." ”
Zheng Dong smiled and agreed.
As night fell, Zheng Dong stared at the blood-red building of the Mo family, which pierced the stars, and also measured his strength.
"Chopping waves, can you detect the old bottom of the Mo family?"
"Hmm."
"How?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
"I said I could, but it didn't mean I did. You're only in the 8.5 technology era now, and I have a lot of features that haven't been unlocked, so go and detect it now, and I guess those people can detect it. Also, the intelligent center of this castle is not simple, and it has reached a minimum of the 9.4 technology era. Chopping Lang smiled, "I'm afraid you don't know that you're in Longtan Tiger's Den now, right?" ”
"I am open-hearted and fearless!" Zheng Dong pinched his waist.
"If you don't get enough energy at tomorrow's auction, I can't do anything." Wave Chopping Road.
"Don't worry, since you cooperated with the Mor family to perform, I won't slaughter a penny?"
"One more thing, don't forget the good stuff in yourself." Chopping Wave Reminder.
"Good stuff? You mean, the scales of the Ice Dragon? ”
"That's right, what kind of people from the Mo family have identified as S-class biological epidermis, heh, that's the skin of the Ice Dragon, and its immunity is absolute zero. It's not just S-grade hardness that can measure its value, I guess the high-level of the Moore family already knows that you have this thing in your hands, and there may be a move tomorrow. You can earn another one. ”
"That's right!" Zheng Dong's eyes lit up.
"Hehe, in this universe, some creatures have deducted a piece of dead skin, which is worth a thousand gold." Chopping Waves laughed.
"Well, there's no comparison." Zheng Dong looked at his hands, "When can I be so valuable." ”
"Yes. Your current body is very valuable, light energy drive, harmful radiation immunity, etc., have reached the peak of the ninth technological era, and it is also a stellar-level refining body...... "Cutting the waves and secluded path," or do you want to sell your body? ”
"Well, no." Zheng Dong pretended to think seriously and was happy.
"Haha, are you really thinking about it? Before you went to bed last night, the maids who came into the house didn't all come in and stay for a long time, and you kid didn't react at all, not at all like a creature of both sexes. ”
“…… Let's not talk about that, I'll read a book. ”
"Cut." Chopping waves project a virtual screen, on which words introducing various information about the universe fly by.
