Chapter 6 Combat Defence

"What's the difference?" the gunsmith couldn't see anything in his name anyway.

Dark Water replied: "To put it in layman's terms, the one you saw last time belongs to the universal type, and this ruin should belong to the combat defense type. ”

"Oh, is there still such a setting? Why, this relic can be transformed into a robot?" the advisor asked with interest.

"How much do you like robots...... gunsmith had already put his gun away, and when he heard the words "combat defense", he didn't dare to do it rashly.

"I need more intelligence. Darkwater ignored their words and said to Sueside, "You must have tried many ways to invade, can you put the situation in writing for me to study?"

Sueside looked at Vanessa with an inquiring look, who avoided his gaze and only nodded noncommittally, while also covering it up with a gesture of touching the back of his neck.

"I'll apply to the Inspector General, and there shouldn't be any problems. Sueside replied, "When he said this, the adviser really wanted to laugh, do you think I'm blind or stupid?

"Let's get here first. Darkwater looked at the advisor.

The advisor squinted at Vanessa with disdain, and said with a smile, "Oh, okay, let's go up then." ”

Vanessa was anxious to get away from the topic, so she said, "Just come down and look at it like this?"

The gunsmith and Darkwater were already headed for the lift, and only the advisor was still talking to her, "Do you have any comments?"

"I came to accompany you early in the morning, and it turned out to be like this, I thought you could make a big breakthrough by coming to help, but it didn't turn out that I wanted us to provide data?"

The advisor looked back and saw that the other three were all on the elevator, so he stepped up and whispered in Venissa's ear, "I say, how old are you?

"I'm just a programmer, believe it or not. She pushed the advisor away: "Let's go." ”

The advisor shrugged his shoulders and returned to the elevator with her, separated from her and the others as he had come down.

That was the end of the morning's survey. The three people who went against the cross seemed to know a lot of things, but they couldn't guess the whole story from their words. The Iron Commandment is still in the dark about the truth about the ruins.

............

In the afternoon of the same day, Lodovico sent someone to deliver the "sorted" materials to the hotel, and the consultant and the gunsmith went to the room of Dark Water, and the three of them closed the door, sneakily not knowing what they were discussing.

"I checked and there was no bugging and pinhole cameras or anything like that. The gunsmith said as he returned to the table.

The advisor said: "If you pretend, we will also find out, so they didn't do this kind of small action at all, in my opinion, the other party's plan is to wait for us to unlock the secrets of the ruins, find the treasure, and then arrest us and slowly interrogate." ”

The gunsmith said, "Then didn't anyone say that you should be caught?"

"How can you trust a woman, let alone a woman like Vanessa. "A woman's wisdom can be seen in her mastery of deception," the advisor said. ”

"Looks like you've suffered a big loss. The gunsmith didn't think much of it himself, but he blurted out his instincts.

The advisor was stunned for a few seconds: "Ah...... Sort of, that year...... I'm seventeen too, and she's seventeen too......"

"No way, you're only a few years old, I guess it was earlier, you're a popular type in middle school. "The gunsmith is right again.

"Hmm...... Well, fourteen is fine. "I once knew a girl who was dignified, intelligent, elegant, and somewhat cynical, and expressed a great deal of dissatisfaction with the aristocratic class. At the time, I thought about whether or not to let her take up some space in my boring life. ”

"And then?" asked the gunsmith.

"She married into a wealthy family at the age of sixteen. The advisor pouted, "Hmm...... Maybe she was trying to bring them down from within. He spread his hands: "So, you can't trust women." ”

The advisor told the story like a joke, but the gunsmith actually sank his face, and his intuition told him the truth, and the gunsmith sighed and said, "She's no longer in the world, is she?"

The advisor's expression froze for a brief moment, and imperceptible sadness flashed between his eyebrows: "Hey...... That year...... I'm seventeen too, and she's seventeen too...... The girl who committed suicide because of depression kept telling me in the letter that she was having a good time. He quickly reverted to his usual expression, as if he didn't care: "So, the conclusion is still the same, you can't trust women." ”

The gunsmith only reacted a little at this time, as if he had inadvertently uncovered the consultant's scar, and in order to prevent being killed, he decided to immediately adjust the atmosphere and bring the topic back: "Ah...... Well, what then, Darkwater...... Ruins, what do you think of the materials they excavated the ruins?"

Dark Water said: "After reading it all, let me explain the situation." ”

The gunsmith was granted amnesty and listened to the narrative of Darkwater with his advisor.

"After confirming the burial location of the treasure, they were very cautious, first sent the ability to use the relevant ability to probe the condition of the underground, and quickly confirmed the depth of the ruins, as well as the structure of the top, but because of the outer metal barrier, they could not use the ability to explore the inside of the ruins, so they decided to dig underneath and then make plans.

It took nearly a month to cordon off the surrounding area, demolish part of the Colosseum, and work out the specific methods and steps for the excavation project. When they dug near the spire, they were ready to salvage things from below, reinforcing the walls around the holes, erecting scaffolding, and making lifting devices.

But soon they noticed a problem, there was no entrance to the metal spire of the ruins, and it was impossible to determine where the specific entrance was, and their ability also found that even if they used their ability to the limit, they could not find out where the bottom of the pyramid was, and it was impossible to dig all the way, so the entire Roman city would have to be lifted.

Therefore, they began to try to open the spire with external force. The standard guns of the Iron Commandment, anti-tank weapons, corrosive liquids, etc., were not only ineffective, but also counterproductive.

The explosive attack was completely reflected by the metal, and all the force was recoiled upward, causing the crater to collapse several times, and they had to dig it again.

The corrosive liquid didn't react the first time they used it, and the second time they used the same liquid, they noticed that the metal had begun to absorb the liquid quickly.

Then, the Iron Ring allows their team of capable people to intervene, pushing with pure brute force, ineffective, punching, rebounding, the person's injury is still not healed, energy outgoing attack, rebounding, this ability dodges his own attack, cutting form of slashing, ineffective is invalid, and what can be rebounded is rebounded...... The Sueside we met today, his ability to change the temperature, and they tried to make him melt the metal......"

"Oh...... That's why he has bandages on his palms? The advisor continued.

The gunsmith was stunned: "Is there one?"

"Didn't you notice?" Darkwater said......; Only narrators and advisers can gather information just like I did. ”

The gunsmith said, "What are you talking about?

"The information he was referring to was actually 'looking'. We see things differently. In fact, most people in this world are almost like blind people. The advisor explained, "For example, you've been in this room for almost half an hour and you've checked the corners for surveillance devices, so can you tell me how many electrical outlets there are in this room we're in at the moment?"

"Hmm......" the gunsmith froze there.

"In fact, even people who have lived in a house for decades can't necessarily name the number of outlets. And when you come to a strange environment, you are almost like a blind person, for example, a person stays in a hotel room for an hour, and then comes out, and you ask him about the pattern of the wallpaper, the color of the curtains, the style of the lampshade, etc., and those things are always in front of him, but he may not say anything wrong.

Or the kind of people who sit in a restaurant or an open-air café and pretend to be melancholy, pretending to be an afternoon, they go to the same shop every day and sit for three or four hours. You can ask them at any given moment how many tables there are, and they can't tell them about it. ”

The advisor said, picking up the prepared tomato juice and taking a sip: "People ignore what they see all the time. In fact, everything that appears in our eyes can be engraved in our minds, but our brains have a security mechanism that will 'filter' out the irrelevant junk information and protect us from going crazy. Only a few people who have a memory that can remember, or who have brains that are different from ordinary people, will see more and remember more. It's instinct, not skill, and it's almost impossible to improve with training. ”

"You two are so good at fooling me that I'm blind," said the gunsmith.

"Hey, I'm too lazy to explain to you, just remember that the flag bearer, Sueside, has an injured hand. The advisor replied.

Dark Water continued: "He tried to heat the surface metal of the ruins to melt it, but the heat was first absorbed, then his ability was blocked, and in the third stage, it was only his own palm that became hot, so his left hand burned, but he still did not give up, and wanted to use his other hand to see if he could freeze the metal and shatter it. ”

"So his right hand is frostbitten...... isn't it?" the gunsmith laughed gloatingly, and it was funny.

Dark Water nodded and continued, "Even if they later sent someone with a fierce level or higher ability, it would be useless. For example, in the case of the universal city-state shell in South America, as long as it does not penetrate with a single hit, the metal shell will absorb all kinds of attack energy and strengthen itself, constantly strengthening. He looked at the gunsmith: "Your bone spear is strong when it is strong, and it is very lucky that it was able to pierce the metal shell in the first place, because the power of that shot is just enough to penetrate the metal of that city-state, and there is no room for the shell to be strengthened."

But this spire here was impregnable after they had tried all sorts of attacks. To put it more simply, if you can break the shell with two tons of force the first time, but you use one ton of force to attack and not shatter it, then it will never be possible to break it with two tons of force the second time. Maybe then you need three tons, or even five tons of destructive power. ”

The advisor said, "Hmph...... With the virtue of these guys, they have given up on continuing to dig, and they must have tried countless times, and I don't think the information handed over to us is complete. ”

Dark Water continued: "The most troublesome thing is that the ruins here, or the city-state, belong to the combat defense type. When I touched the metal shell today, I felt that the city-state's defenses were fully activated.

Repeated attacks on a point outside the city-state have completely activated the entire city-state's defenses, which shows that their attempts have been exhausted, and it is really helpless to allow us outsiders to intervene. ”

The gunsmith said, "Combat defense type, the inside of that ruin is also dangerous, isn't it?" He thought back to the memories of the ruins in South America, the loss of the sense of physiological needs, and the handprints that were like teleportation runes, etc......

"Let me think about it. Darkwater took some time to organize the language: "In terms of human concepts, the universal city-state is like a civilian facility, with the main functions of living, producing, learning, rituals, etc., while the combat-defensive city-state has a very clear and single function, such as guarding a certain area or destroying a certain area......"

"Like an aircraft carrier?" said the gunsmith.

Dark Water replied: "No, the universal type is closer to an aircraft carrier, and it also has a combat configuration in it, and at that time, the reason why you didn't encounter the 'trap' room was because I had been operating in secret." ”

The gunsmith listened to the other party's flat and straightforward words, and his back instantly cooled. If it weren't for Darkwater's desire to use his talents to repair the Eternal Core at that time, I'm afraid he would have been done with it, either by being poisoned by Darkwater, or by walking into some so-called "trap" room, and then ...... The gunsmith's mind was a little confused at the moment, and he couldn't think of what kind of traps the Darkwater race would arrange, in short...... boom！

The advisor thought for a moment and asked, "Then our original plan has to be adjusted, right?"

Dark Water said: "I'm afraid it's inevitable, so I asked them for information, one is to confirm what level the city-state's defense system is currently roughly upgraded, and the other is to buy time, we have to work out a new plan, because this exploration is no longer as easy as expected, it will be very dangerous, at least for you humans, the mortality rate will be extremely high." ”
