Volume 8 Chapter 6 The Master in Black
readx;
The curtain was lifted, and there was indeed a bedroom inside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The furnishings here are not much different from ordinary people's bedrooms, the only difference is that there is a large screen that can be raised and lowered hanging on one wall of the bedroom.
Other than that, there are no other modern technological supplies.
However, living underground, with such fragrant air and mild sunlight, is already a very luxurious thing in itself.
In the bedroom, in addition to a simple bamboo bed, there are three chairs.
On a chair at this moment, there is a Benfica master with an old face. And on the bamboo bed, there was a gray-haired old man.
Fang Mingwei glanced at it, and was secretly shocked in his heart, why did His Majesty the Emperor look even older than Master Benfica.
Although modern technology can easily restore the appearance of their youth, not many people actually do so.
"Meet Your Majesty." Fang Mingwei and Iverson saluted at the same time, with their identities and abilities, although they saw Eiffinberg, there was no need to kneel.
It's not that they're arrogant, it's that there is an unwritten rule in the universe.
Once one's cultivation has reached the level of a master, then no matter which imperial country one goes to and which monarch one meets, there is no need to bow down.
This is a power that only a master can enjoy, so there is nothing beyond them to do so.
"You may be seated." Effenberg said with a pleasant face, but there was a thick exhaustion in his voice.
Fang Mingwei sighed in his heart, he finally understood why Leander and Luke would do their best to seek the throne of the next emperor.
Because whoever sees Effinberg at this moment will have a feeling in their hearts that this person's life will not last long.
Under the stimulation of this feeling, if those powerful and courageous princes do not make some small actions in secret, then they are called ghosts.
"Master Fang, I heard that you have returned from the beast leader."
"Yes." Fang Mingwei responded respectfully, no matter what he thought in his heart, his appearance still had to be sufficient. It's just that Fang Mingwei's heart was suddenly shocked, what His Majesty the Emperor just said turned out to be a beast leader......
"Your Majesty, do you know the Beast Collar too?"
"Hehe...... Effenberg chuckled softly and said, "Of course I know about the beast territory, and I also know who lives on the beast territory. ”
Fang Mingwei only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, the news he had worked so hard to get, did everyone already know about it?
"Your Majesty, how do you know? Could it be that everyone knows this secret? ”
"Nope." Effenberg shook his hand lightly and said with a smile: "In the entire Kaiyue, the total number of people who know this secret is no more than five people. ”
Fang Mingwei's heart moved slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, what else do you know?" ”
"It's gone." The old emperor said with a pleasant face, as if an old man was chatting with his juniors about trivial matters.
"Gone?" Fang Mingwei said in disbelief.
In fact, even if Effenberg said that he knew all the things about the beast territory, Fang Mingwei would not be so surprised.
However, it is a little strange to put on an unfathomable appearance, but in fact you don't know anything.
"Yes, I only know that the other end of the White Mist Passage is the Beast Territory, and the people living in the Beast Territory are ancient genetic people."
Fang Mingwei looked at him in surprise, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in his words.
"In fact, this secret has been grasped by all the seventh-level and above civilizations hundreds of thousands of years ago." Effinberg sighed, "On the first day that we were promoted to the seventh level of civilization, the royal family already knew about these two things. ”
Fang Mingwei's heart was full of shock, if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't lied, then wouldn't he have known about this matter at the highest level of natural persons.
His mind quickly returned to the scene when he was separated from Vernon.
I remember that Vernon once asked him if he knew the true strength of natural people, and he took it for granted that the most powerful strength of human beings was nothing more than that, otherwise he would not be forced by these monsters to even fight back.
But for now, it seems that he may have made a big mistake.
Since even the highest level of the seventh-level civilized countries are qualified to know the truth behind the White Mist Passage, what about the eighth-level and ninth-level civilized countries.
They know for sure, but for so many years, they haven't reacted aggressively, and have been playing passive defense.
Before, when Fang Mingwei didn't know the real situation, he didn't have any doubts about it. But now, he found that it was too abnormal.
There must be something in this that I don't know.
Of course, I didn't know it before, because my strength was not enough, and people naturally wouldn't tell you. And at this moment, looking at the old emperor's serious expression, he vaguely knew that he might be about to come into contact with the real central secret of a natural person.
"Fang Mingwei, tell me about your journey in the beast territory, the more detailed the better."
Taking a deep breath of fragrant breath, Fang Mingwei lifted his spirit, and told him what he had seen and heard about not being blinded by the white mist, how he infiltrated the beast territory, how he was misunderstood by these genetic people, and how he participated in the large-scale ceremony in the beast leader's nest.
Both Effinberg and Benfica listened very carefully, and they interjected from time to time to ask a few questions.
In particular, the details of the genetic people's life habits and social structure are particularly detailed, and they are particularly interested in how those genetic people became animal controllers during the ceremony.
On the way to discuss in detail between the two sides, Fang Mingwei told him what happened in the beast territory.
Of course, he hid all the things about Vernon, the Red Cloud killings he created, and the origin of Iverson.
When all the conversations were over, Fang Mingwei also took out the memory stone from the identity ring and handed it to the Benfica master beside him.
Holding the memory stone in his hand and looking at it for a while, especially the white mist contained in the stone, made the two big men sigh even more.
"Alas, I can't imagine that the white mist channel that we have been unable to crack can be created from such a small stone." Effenberg sighed a few words, suddenly raised his head, and said, "Master Fang Mingwei, there is one thing I ask you to answer. ”
"Your Majesty, please command."
"This time, Master Fang entered the beast domain without hesitation for the safety of the entire human race, and brought us a large amount of information about genetic people, as well as key items to create white mist. This great credit is very important for the entire human race. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, this is what every natural person should do." Fang Mingwei bowed slightly and said.
But in his heart, he said, if it weren't for Vernon's old immortal compulsion, I would never have gone in.
Effenberg raised his hand slightly and said, "Master Fang, you have made such a great contribution to the entire human race, but we can't make it public. ”
Fang Mingwei was stunned, but he immediately understood that if he really leaked these news, he was afraid that there would be an uproar in the entire natural person world.
When the time comes, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, then no one will dare to pack a ticket.
Moreover, after the trip to the beast territory, he has a deep understanding of the true strength hidden by genetic people, and he does not recommend humans to take any radical impulses unless they have to.
Nodding slightly to the two old men, Fang Mingwei said seriously: "Yes, I understand the truth, so, Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”
Looking at Fang Mingwei's sincere face, Effenberg and Benfica were relieved at the same time.
They naturally knew that with Fang Mingwei's identity, since they agreed, they would never regret it.
Although politics is inherently a lie and deception, in certain circumstances, once a promise has been made, it must be kept. They believe that with Fang Mingwei's wisdom, they will not fail to see through the truth.
After all, it is only a few people who determine the general direction of humanity, not the so-called referendum.
Effenberg gently raised his finger and tapped on the cabinet next to the bed, and said with a solemn face: "Beast Control, Beast Control ......"
For natural people, although the strength of the Beastmaster warrior is strong, the combat effectiveness of the individual is limited after all.
And the beast controller is different, especially the god-level beast controller, there are so many monsters that can be commanded that it is enough to make people timid.
Such an enemy is the real number one enemy of natural human beings.
Therefore, Effenberg and Benfica naturally locked the biggest targets of the enemy to those beast controllers who can control and command monsters.
Fang Mingwei saw that they were so interested in the beast controller, hesitated for a moment, and still said that he could help natural people create beast controllers.
The eyes of Effinberg and Benfica looking at Fang Mingwei suddenly changed completely.
Regardless of asking, it can be seen that in the hearts of the two of them, Fang Mingwei's status has been greatly improved.
What an appalling thing it is to be able to cultivate a beast control master among the spiritual masters of a natural person.
Once humans have a large number of beast controllers, sending these people out at a critical moment can definitely turn the tide of the battle.
Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or Master Benfica, they all know the value of Fang Mingwei's special ability very well.
Although this ability could not immediately produce combat effectiveness, its value was no less than the memory stone that Fang Mingwei had painstakingly brought out of the beast collar.
"Master Fang, does anyone else know about this matter?" Effinberg's gaze swept over Iverson's body and asked seemingly indifferently.
"No, the two of us know about it."
Fang Mingwei paused, he vaguely saw the strange look in Effinberg's eyes. With an awe-inspiring heart, he hurriedly pointed to Iverson beside him, and said: "But if we want our spiritual masters to have the ability to control monsters, it is not simple, in addition to the fact that they must unconditionally open their hearts, I also need Iverson's help." ”
"Ahh The murderous intent in Eiffenberg's eyes immediately dissipated without a trace.
In order to keep this secret, he did not hesitate to sacrifice a master-level spiritual master, but if this master-level master was an indispensable part of this secret, then Effenberg didn't mind wooing one more person.
"Two masters, this matter is very important, please keep it a secret." Master Benfica said sincerely.
"Don't worry, my mouth has always been very strong." Fang Mingwei said with a smile: "I've already told you about the beast territory, now I want to return to Tianpeng Star with Iverson and the two of you temporarily, if Your Majesty has any orders, you can come there to find us." ”
Effinberg said without moving: "Why do you want to go to Newman, don't we Kaiyue fit Master Fang's wishes?" ”
"Nope." Fang Mingwei hurriedly shook his head, he couldn't hesitate at this time: "I'm just used to living in an environment like Tianpeng Star, and the things there are all things that I have slowly built up from scratch little by little, so I have a deep feeling." ”
Effinberg and Benfica glanced at each other, and the two old men were clearly making eye contact.
After half a ring, Effinberg sighed, "What a blessing the Newman Empire is! ”
Fang Mingwei smiled, this sentence is embarrassing.
After thinking about it for a while, Effenberg asked, "How long does Master Fang plan to live in Tianpeng Star?" ”
Fang Mingwei's face was slightly bitter, as soon as he heard this, he knew that Effenberg was not going to let him go, otherwise how could he ask how long he had lived at home.
"A year." Fang Mingwei pondered and said, "I haven't been home for a long time, so I have to stay for a while." After a year, if Kaiyue is ready to be a candidate for the spiritual department, then I will help them change the caste of the spiritual power. ”
"Okay, Master Fang, I have prepared a few small gifts for you, I hope you like it." Effinberg finally smiled and said.
Fang Mingwei immediately knew that this was the reward and hush money he gave himself.
But since it was a gift from Emperor Kaiyue, it must not be too bad.
After chatting for a few words, Master Benfica got up and retired, Fang Mingwei and Iverson certainly wouldn't stay here, and immediately took the opportunity to leave.
When the three of them left, a middle-aged man dressed in black came out from another corner of the room.
His face is featureless, just like an ordinary middle-aged uncle, and his body is plain and bland, without the slightest master's temperament.
However, Effenberger has a lot of respect for him.
"Linge, how long have you been here?"
Slowly stood up from the bed, although Effenberg's face was a little pale at this moment, but when he spoke, there was still a little lack of energy.
If Fang Mingwei and Iverson, or his two princes, were here, they would definitely no longer treat him as an old man who would die at any time.
"Back to Your Majesty, I've been here after checking on Finoer's injuries."
"Well, how much did you listen to our conversation?"
"From the time Fang Mingwei started to introduce the trip to the beast territory, he heard it all."
If Fang Mingwei and Iverson knew about this sentence, they would definitely be speechless in surprise.
In this environment, of course, the two of them were worried and cheered up. But this black-clothed Lengge can still quietly bully into this room, which means that this person is definitely not simple.
Of course, it is not difficult for Fang Mingwei to do this, as long as he uses the concealment technique to cover up all the traces of life on his body, then even this man in black will not want to find his traces.
It's just that before the critical moment, Fang Mingwei will never enter the state of concealment at will.
"What do you think of these two people?"
"Very strong, they are all strong." Leng Ge said coldly: "Although Iverson's external performance is only level seventeen spiritual power, there seems to be a strong force hidden in his body, if it completely erupts, even if it is me, it will be tricky." ”
"Do you even find it troublesome?" Effenberg gasped and said, "Fortunately, this person is a friend and foe. ”
Ling Ge smiled proudly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, although Iverson is powerful, it is just a trouble, if you really want to move him, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Eiffenberg nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "What about Fang Mingwei, how is he?" ”
Leng Ge pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”
"What?"
"Because I can't see through him, not at all."
"You...... Can't see through? Effenberg's expression was even more exaggerated than that of Lego, and at this moment, he did not look like a prestigious Emperor at all.
But such a gaffe is purely because this sentence is so amazing.
As for Lingge's cultivation, Eiffenberg knows everything clearly, if even he can't see through it, wouldn't it be ......
As soon as he thought of this, Effenberg's heart suddenly burned.
"Yes, I can't see through it." Leng Ge lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "This person, in the impression left on me, there is only one feeling. ”
"What does it feel?"
"Danger and ...... Powerful! ”
Effenberg's gaze was gloomy and sharp, and after a long time, he asked, "What if you were right with him?" ”
"You can give it a try." Lego paused and added, "Not sure. ”
"Oh, this man, is he already so strong?" Eiffenberg seemed to be asking, and it was as if he was talking to himself.
Leng Ge stood quietly beside His Majesty, and he didn't have any intention of interfacing with this sentence.
"I've studied Fang Mingwei's information." Effenberg said softly: "Although he is a little greedy for money, he has an advantage, that is, he does not forget his roots. All those who helped him in his upbringing have now been duly rewarded. ”
"Such a person, as long as you get involved with him, give him enough benefits, well, or rather, give him enough respect and help, he will not be my enemy." Effenberg turned around slowly and smiled, "Lingo, do you say so?" ”
"I haven't seen his profile, but my self-consciousness tells me that he is a trustworthy person."
"Well, since even your sixth sense is like this, then I'm relieved." Effenberg chuckled softly: "Fang Mingwei, when you go back, take my gift." ”
※※※※※※
After leaving His Majesty the Emperor's palace, Fang Mingwei let out a long breath.
It's really strange, Effenberg and Lin Yitian are both a generation of emperors, and Effenberg still looks sick, but why is the pressure in front of him much greater?
Could it all be because he is the emperor of a seventh-level civilized country?
Fang Mingwei faintly felt that something seemed to be ignored by himself, but he tried his best to think about it, but he had no clue.
"Master Fang, Master Fang......"
Fang Mingwei was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Master Benfica, do you have something?" ”
"Well, there's one thing I'd like to ask." Benfica said: "Since you entered the White Mist Passage, that terrifying Grim Reaper has never appeared again, I want to ask, is that guy also following you into the White Mist Passage?" ”
"Really? He also entered the White Mist Passage? Fang Mingwei pretended not to know: "I don't know his whereabouts, maybe he died." ”
"If only he did die." Benfica glanced at Iverson meaningfully.
Fang Mingwei immediately understood that he was suspecting that Iverson, who was of unknown origin, was the world-famous Grim Reaper.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, this misunderstanding is really too big.
However, Benfica's suspicions are not unreasonable, in the world of natural people, there are not many masters of the spiritual system, especially masters at the master level.
Iverson's spiritual strength is so strong, at least above the seventeenth level, this kind of sudden figure will naturally make people think of Pianpiao.
Benfica seemed to hesitate for a moment, but slowly took out an identity ring from his body and said, "This ring is the logo of the spiritual master of the Kaiyue Empire, so give it to Master Iverson." ”
Fang Mingwei was overjoyed and glanced at Iverson, who stepped forward and took the ring from Benfica's hand, and his heart was suddenly full of mixed feelings.
Before he died in the meteorite swarm, he also received the identity ring in the hands of the Benfica master.
Now more than 200 years have passed, his appearance has completely changed, and the ghost made the god to get the identity ring from the teacher's hand again, the excitement and shock in his heart are really difficult to describe with pen and ink.
Fang Mingwei frowned, it was just an identity ring, it was too embarrassing to be excited like this.
Although Fang Mingwei knew Iverson's origin, how could he have such a bumpy psychological journey, so he felt incomprehensible, and it was human nature.
stepped forward and assured Iverson: "The ring Master Benfica has given it to you, and as for the space address, it is wrapped around me." ”
The Little Crown has the magical ability to illuminate the boundless darkness of space and help them find the right mustard seed space. Therefore, Fang Mingwei took over the matter of searching for the mustard seed space.
Iverson nodded slightly and thanked the two of them.
Although Benfica couldn't understand Iverson's mood at the moment, he didn't show the confusion in his heart at all. Of course, with the wrinkled skin on his face at the moment, even if he wants to express surprise, people may not understand it.
"Master Iverson, I have something I want to talk to Master Fang about alone." Master Benfica said softly.
Iverson bowed slightly and left without saying a word.
However, this pretentiousness of the Benfica master is actually in vain.
Because of the connection between the souls, as long as the two of them are within a certain distance, unless Fang Mingwei takes the initiative to cover it, Iverson must know what is happening around Fang Mingwei.
And Fang Mingwei at this moment, of course, will not obediently cover up Benfica's conversation.
"Master Fang, every high-level civilized country that has entered the seventh level or above has an excellent level of science and technology in a certain discipline, do you know what the most advanced technology of our Kaiyue Empire is?" The Benfica master asked suddenly.
Fang Mingwei thought for a moment, he really didn't know what the technology that the Kaiyue Empire was best at.
In the Great Federation of Mankind, all those who want to be promoted to the level seven or above high-level civilization must have their own national characteristics, especially in the use of cutting-edge technology, and must have outstanding contributions. Otherwise, don't even think about getting involved in this standard of the seventh level.
It is precisely for this reason that although Wang Ziqiang could get all the technology of the third- and fourth-level civilized countries for free at the beginning, he gave up this opportunity and chose the second-level civilization technology instead.
In this way, although the development speed of the Earth Alliance is much slower, once those technologies are thoroughly digested, they will naturally be able to derive unique technologies that are completely belonging to and suitable for the Earth Alliance.
Only by following this step of gradual evolution and development can the Earth Alliance become truly powerful.
Otherwise, once the technology of others is fully accepted without the slightest innovation, then in the end, the Earth Alliance will lose its own characteristics and completely become a puppet of a certain country.
It is not terrible to have a low level of science and technology, as long as this nation has perseverance and can develop slowly, it will definitely have a future.
But once you lose your own characteristics and become a public obsess, you will regret it at that time.
Because when the country's development reaches the sixth level, they are already accustomed to accepting the gifts of the suzerain, and it is impossible for them to come up with any technology with their own national characteristics, unless they give up the country's sovereignty and merge all of them into the suzerain, they will never want to be promoted to the level of the country.
However, there are not many countries in the universe that can stick to their own path.
Most countries find a big backer, and then with the help of the backer, quickly improve their national strength, and finally choose to merge into the seventh-level civilization when they reach the sixth level of civilization.
There are many reasons why countries choose to do this, most of which are because they are too close to the overlord, so they will gradually be infiltrated by the influence of the overlord, and in the end, whether they want it or not, the result is the same.
Not long after the establishment of the Earth Alliance, the surrounding third-level countries also tried to use this method to assimilate the Earth Alliance, but Wang Ziqiang's birth actually tied up with the Newman Empire, so that the Earth Alliance got a chance to grow safely in an environment where the law of the jungle is the strong.
Fang Mingwei didn't know about these things before, but after entering the universe, he saw countless cases before he knew what kind of great contribution Wang Ziqiang had made to the Earth Alliance.
If he hadn't made certain achievements in the Newman Empire and obtained the protection of this fifth-level empire in disguise, then the current Earth Alliance really didn't know how it would be exploited and oppressed by the surrounding second- and third-level civilized countries.
Fortunately, neither the Earth Alliance, nor the Newman Empire, nor the Kaiyue Empire are the kind of countries that rely entirely on the talents of other countries to develop.
Among them, there are outstanding scientific researchers, and there are commanders who are dedicated to the sake of the nation, so they can continue to make progress and gradually gain a firm foothold in the Great Federation.
"Master Benfica, what is the most powerful technology in the Kaiyue Empire?" Fang Mingwei asked humbly.
"Concealing, interfering with audio-visual and cranial nerve repair." Master Benfica said slowly.
"Virtual disk?" Fang Mingwei exclaimed: "Could it be that the Kaiyue Empire can be promoted to the seventh level of civilization by relying on the virtual disk?" ”
"You're half right." Master Benfica smiled: "Actually, when Kaiyue was still in the sixth level of civilization, we had already obtained a virtual disk, but that virtual disk was not intact, but something that had been greatly damaged. Fortunately, our scientists discovered the mystery and deciphered one of the codes, which is why the Kaiyue Empire, a seventh-level civilized country, appeared. Subsequently, we organized people to enter the ruins many times, and finally found the virtual disk and found another world. ”
Fang Mingwei's eyes lit up, and Master Benfica finally admitted what was behind the mysterious light gate.
Another world, that is, behind the Light Gate, is another unexplored relic.
Sighing deeply, the achievements of the Kaiyue Empire in this regard are indeed very remarkable.
Just like when he was underground just now, the bead curtain that can absorb spiritual power and gaze has already brought into full play the special surname that conceals and interferes with audio-visual.
Master Benfica straightened his thin body, and his eyes flashed with pride: "Through the study of the technology obtained from the virtual disk, we have gradually integrated into the blood of Kaiyue. In today's Great Federation, it can be said that there is no country that can surpass our country in terms of concealment and interference.
"Any country? Does that include the ninth-level civilized nations? ”
Benfica hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, no country can surpass our research, and our results are second to none in the entire Great Federation of Mankind." ”
Fang Mingwei was immediately in awe, but a voice suddenly sounded in Fang Mingwei's mind: "Mr. Fang, there is nothing remarkable about the concealment and interference technology of the Kaiyue Empire, you don't have to trust them at all. ”
The corners of Fang Mingwei's eyes jumped slightly, fortunately, Douglas's soul couldn't make a sound, otherwise Master Benfica would have rioted on the spot.
"Mr. Douglas, how can you say that? Virtual disks are a good thing, and you should know how powerful they are. ”
"Good stuff?" Douglas said disdainfully: "It's nonsense to want to create something good with just a small virtual disk." ”
Fang Mingwei was stunned for a moment, savoring his words carefully. It dawned on me.
No wonder Douglas, who has always been silent, suddenly spoke up for debate, because he was dissatisfied when he heard the name of the first in mankind.
Indeed, compared to the pseudo-world researched by the Yakai Empire in the past, is this virtual disk......
Well, the difference is so great that it simply can't be compared.
The virtual disk simulated,After all, it's all illusory.,Although the pseudo-world is also a fake.,But this fake is too powerful.。 As long as there is enough energy, this fake can definitely be fake.
So, when it comes to concealment and distraction, Douglas definitely has a greater say.
Of course, Benfica didn't know about the conversation between Fang Mingwei and Douglas, and when he saw Fang Mingwei's face cloudy, he thought he didn't believe it.
Shaking his head slightly, Benfica continued: "In addition to the research of virtual disks, we also have excellent achievements in the repair of cranial nerves. ”
"Cranial nerve repair? Does it work? Fang Mingwei asked suspiciously.
Benfica was choked by his words and almost couldn't speak, so he glanced at him fiercely and said, "This technology is very useful, it can read the memories of monsters by some means." Even if the monster is dead, once you get its skull, you can read some broken fragments. ”
Fang Mingwei's face finally changed, this kind of ability, isn't it the same as the memory that he can read the soul.
However, listening to Benfica's tone, it seems that this technology has not yet reached the level of perversion with such clarity as reading soul memories by itself.
"You should have seen those replica pits in the basement." Benfica laughed, "These are the ones that came from the bodies of dead monsters. ”
Fang Mingwei nodded slowly and asked, "Master Benfica, why are you telling me this?" ”
"Because we want to make a deal with you." Benfica said solemnly.
"What deal?"
"With our technology, in exchange for your help."
Fang Mingwei looked at the old man, and after half a sound, he finally smiled and said, "As you wish, we ...... It's done. ”
(To be continued)
