Burke fiddled with the white porcelain vase in his hand, which is a rather delicate handiwork, with a delicate landscape texture on the surface, and the workmanship is quite elegant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And around Burke, there are also a variety of exquisite collections, countless exquisite paintings, and even a fossil skeleton.
But having said that, Burke really didn't have much interest in this thing.
"What's the matter, Mr. Detective, what do you think of this vase?"
"Ah...... Alright, Your Excellency the Governor, it's quite exquisite. ”
"That's good, these collections are from the governors before me...... While I personally don't know much about their actual value, I don't want to just damage or throw them away. If you don't mind, you can take it. ”
"Forget it, Your Excellency the Governor." Burke shrugged his shoulders and put the vase back in place: "My aesthetic is so bad that I can't guarantee that this thing will only last a few hours." ”
Burke then scanned the side, but found no sign of Wright.
"So, you're done talking to Miss?"
"Yes, Miss Match is interesting...... I miss some of her opinions, so I personally promised to do her a small favor, then, what about you, Mr. Burke, I have a little favor to ask you, don't worry, paid. ”
"Oh? You know, I have a lot of work to do right now, Your Excellency. ”
"True to what you say, yes." Governor Olivia laughed, and for a moment Burke felt the smile familiar, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Well, you should know, I can't promise what I'll be able to do in this situation."
"That's natural, come to my study, and when I've shown you something, you'll know what I want you to do, and I'm sure you'll be glad to do it."
Burke shrugged, "Listen." ”
Walking through a passage full of rich ornaments, Burke and Olivia stopped at an unpretentious iron gate that was completely out of tune with the opulence of their surroundings.
"What a surprise...... Is this your style, Your Excellency the Governor. ”
"So what do you think?" Olivia pressed her hand to the platform on the side of the gate, and after a while, a burst of blue light flashed on the door, and then it opened
"Come in, Mr. Detective, what exactly do I need you looking for, I guess you'll be interested."
Walking into the study, Burke immediately felt the huge gap between inside and outside.
The exterior was lavishly decorated, but something was missing, and although Governor Olivia had placed them all on the outside, and it seemed that the artwork had been properly disposed of and cared for, Burke was able to recognize a simple fact with his personal detective instincts.
Those things meant nothing to Olivia, just like the smile she put on, they were just put on the table to cover up other things.
And after entering the study, Burke immediately felt that this was the real heart of Governor Olivia.
The room is surrounded by white tiles, and unlike the outside of the room, there is not an inch of decoration in the room, except for many ancient weapons, armor, books, and test benches.
As soon as Burke looked, he could see three pieces of ancient heavy armor - much like the Space Marine Terminator armor that Burke knew, but with different appearances, several power weapons of different styles, and some unrecognizable firearms that glowed blue and green.
Some mechanical wreckage - what seems to be from some different ancient civilizations, and some weapons with a distinctly elven style.
In addition, several research instruments, including several experimental platforms with federal design, and dense stacks of books stacked on the shelves, directly reaching the ceiling, almost filled the room.
Other than that, there were only three chairs and a not-so-large desk crammed into one corner of the room.
If it weren't for the good sanitation, Burke might have thought it was a research bench for a scientist in a society, not the study of an imperial governor.
"Surprised? It's the most comfortable place for me. Olivia smiled, then sat down in the chair on the other side of the table, bending down to do something.
"Sit down, right away." As she said this, her expression was different from that outside the study, and she seemed to be much more relaxed.
Burke shrugged, then sat down across from Olivia.
Olivia tapped twice under her desk, and then, with the sound of a switch and a switch, a small airtight container was removed by Olivia.
Then the Doge tapped on the transparent shell of the container, and inside it was a chip-like artifact - but apparently just a fragment of the entire body - floating slowly.
Olivia looked at Burke, and her tone suddenly became serious.
"You should know by now, Mr. Burke, that by the time you saw this thing, you had already taken the commission."
"I guessed it, so, what is this module fragment?"
Olivia stared at Burke, suddenly softened, and laughed again, "yes, I know, this thing doesn't mean much to you...... But for us, it is the supreme treasure - or, rather, the curse. ”
"This is a fragment of STC, we call it, the standard technology module, and the technology described on this module...... According to my analysis, it is the cursed artificial intelligence technology. ”
Then, ignoring Burke's mutant face, Olivia continued, "How about I need you to go to the lower nest and find the rest of its fragments?" ”
Olivia asked, with a smile of ambition.
