[Seeing your shocked expression, as if you were very interested in the matter of 'that person', the old man suddenly said: "I still have some relics left by this person in my house, do you want to see them?] ”】

[You came back to your senses and nodded hurriedly, indicating that you wanted to see it.] 】

["Wait, it's too long, I need to find ......" The old man got up and went to the storage room in the backyard, rummaging through the cabinets for a long time, and finally pulled out a cube of metal from under a certain corner of the table. 】

"That's it...... The day before he died, the man stuffed me with a lot of iron lump 'toys', saying that I should keep them as much as possible, but unfortunately after so many years, everything else has broken down, only this stone, which is very strong, and I often use it to pad the corner of the table......"]

“……”

Mu You took the thing from the old man's hand, and when he saw the description of this thing, he already had some guesses in his heart.

And the text that popped up next confirmed his thoughts.

You have gained 'Another Mechanical Heart.' 】

Sure enough, it's the heart of the machine!

The Mechanic left a few sets of Primordial Warframes and the Heart of the Machine in the Garden of Eden, leaving with only two sets of Special Warframes.

But if he wants to control the Warframe himself, he must need a mechanical heart as a key.

Mu You had guessed before that there should be more than one piece of the mechanical heart, and now he has confirmed his idea, the mechanical heart is something that can be made repeatedly, and the mechanic may have many pieces in his hands.

[This mechanical heart is almost identical in appearance to your mechanical heart, except that on one side, a one-time phonographic pattern is carved. Maybe you can assemble it and try to broadcast it. 】

You have assembled the Heart of Machines and powered it with a single Moonstone. 】

[A piece of phonome plays automatically in your head.] 】

["Hahaha, I finally did it! ”】

["The armor of my dreams, the miracle armor that can be 'worn' on the body like clothes, although it seems to be thin, it has all the organs, and the functions that a normal armor should have! ”】

["As long as you wear this set of armor, you can perfectly resist the invasion of parasites, and you can also have a strong defense comparable to that of your ancestors......"]

["Because the inspiration came from the creature called 'Red Ape', I named this ultimate armor 'Red Sky'. ”】

["It's a pity, there is still one last step ......"]

["I designed the drawings, found all the materials, and spliced them together to create a set of samples of the Red Sky, but it still needs to be tempered before it can be completely formed. ”】

["The whole body of this set of armor is composed of materials in the ring forest, all parts are extremely strong, it is extremely difficult to change its nature, there is only one way I can think of - Moon Lake!

And it can't be the Moon Lake in the ordinary period, only during the Moon Festival period, after the Eye of the Moon is opened, it is possible to complete the refining of the Red Sky by relying on the deep lake water with more energy in the Eye of the Moon......"]

["It's a pity that these savages don't allow outsiders to approach Moon Lake...... But it doesn't matter, it's the Moon Festival soon, and then I'll find an opportunity to sneak close to the Moon Lake, send the battle armor into the Eye of the Moon, and complete the tempering......"]

["According to my estimates, the tempered Chixiao should be able to resist the erosion of the Moon Lake, so theoretically, as long as you wear this set of battle armor, even if you jump into the Moon Lake, you will not be affected...... Of course, the premise is that I need to survive the lake water on my own strength before the tempering is completed......"]

"Of course I know it's dangerous, but I'm sure I'll make it!" ”】

["The apocalypse that once awakened my wisdom was given to me by the moon butterfly, and the moon butterfly came from the moon lake, I worked hard all my life to find the apocalypse, and finally came to the moon lake, and this ultimate battle armor must be completed in the source of the moon lake, isn't it?"] Therefore, I firmly believe that this is the original goal of the Apocalypse: to lead me step by step to the center of the Ring Forest, precisely so that I can use the lake water here to complete this set of armor! ”】

This is where the text comes to an abrupt end.

Mu You's face was extremely strange after reading it: So this is the reason why you jumped into Moon Lake?

According to him, the full body of the Chixiao battle armor can even resist the corrosive nature of the Moon Lake, so his plan is to jump into the Moon Lake in the unfinished Chixiao and complete the last step of tempering in the Eye of the Moon.

As long as he can hold on until the end of the tempering, the Chixiao Battle Armor that has become a complete body can in turn protect him from the Moon Lake, and eventually he will emerge from the Moon Lake with a complete Chixiao safe and sound.

Judging from the logic of the message, the mechanic was in good spirits at this time and was not crazy, that is, this plan was not his whim, but the result of careful consideration.

However, in the end, he failed, let alone enter the Eye of the Moon, and the first time he jumped into the Moon Lake, the mechanic was corrupted on the spot......

["Let's go, I'll take you to the patriarch...... Don't expect too much, though. "Secia quickly packed up her things and walked to the courtyard gate to beckon you out. 】

Mu You had already told Mu Luo's mother that the purpose of his coming here was to see the patriarch, inform him of the problem of parasitic beasts, and win over the wild people by the way.

And Secia, as the best herbalist in the tribe, has a close relationship with the current patriarch, and knows his character very well, guessing that Mu You will most likely be rejected this time, so he gave him a preventive injection in advance.

Mu You exhaled, no matter what the result is, he has come here, and he always has to try.

[You follow Cessia all the way to the main entrance on the seventh floor. 】

[Several heavily armed savage soldiers have blocked your way. 】

[After Cessia stopped in front of you, explained to a few people, and protected you many times, the savage soldiers let you go, but there are still two soldiers who follow you the whole time, guarding against your every move. 】

[Entering the seventh floor, you find that the population density here is significantly sparser than that of the sixth floor. 】

According to Cessia, only mid-to-high-level personnel among the wildlings are eligible to settle in the seventh layer for a long time. 】

[Under the leadership of Cessia, you finally came to a large building in the center of the seventh floor, and the stone carving in front of the building was carved with the three big characters 'Council Hall'. 】

["Let's go, the patriarch is inside."] Cecia beckoned to you and walked in. 】

[You were about to follow in, and suddenly you felt a faint thought coming from the seed of time in your mind. 】

[It's a pity that this idea is too weak, and it has disappeared before you have time to recognize it.] 】

[At the urging of the soldiers in the rear, you had to enter the council chamber first.] 】

The text seemed to suggest that something unusual had happened to him, but unfortunately, in front of everyone's eyes, Mu You couldn't delve into it, so he could only skip it first.

[As soon as you enter the building, you hear an old voice scolding in the depths of the hall. 】

["Waste, it's all waste! ”】

"Are you all pig brains? I have to come to ...... such a trivial matter in person" "Give me the spirit of 120,000 points, and it will be the Moon Festival Ceremony soon, and there will be no ...... to any mistakes"]

[In the old man's angry scolding, several savage officials passed by you with sleepy eyes, and one of them glanced at you in surprise, but did not stop and walked out of the hall. 】

[You follow Sécia into the hall, and you see a gray-haired old savage, sitting behind the desk, the desk is piled with all kinds of papers and documents, and the old man is full of red, the blue tendons on his forehead are bursting up, one hand covers his heart, and the other hand tremblingly picks up the potion on the table, and drinks it all, and his face looks better......]

This old savage should be the savage patriarch, and it can be seen that he is indeed very busy.

This is not difficult to understand, Mu You put himself in his shoes, if he sat in the other party's position and faced a group of savage subordinates whose brains would not turn every day, it was estimated that he would also be angry with a heart attack.

[The old savage noticed you coming at this time, and looked surprised: "Secia? You're a rare ......"]

[The old man looked at Secia, and some guilt flashed on his face: "Because I refused your request back then, your temperament changed drastically, and you directly resigned from your position as a herbalist, moved out of the clan, and never communicated with others again...... After all this time, are you finally willing to let go? ”】

[Faced with the old man's inquiry, Secia was expressionless and did not respond. 】

[The old man's face was a little more ashamed, and he sighed: "It wasn't that I was ruthless back then, but that the location of the spatial gap was too dangerous, once it was known to outsiders, the ring forest would never be peaceful, and for the safety of the clan, I had to make this decision. I think even Murro would have understood what I was doing. ”】

[Hearing the other party mention Muro, a trace of anger flashed on Secia's face, and he said coldly: "Thanks to you, my son is alive and well now, and I came today not to investigate the past, but to bring this child to meet you. ”】

[Only then did the Savage Patriarch notice you hiding behind Secia, and looked you up and down: "Who are you?" What's the matter? ”】

From the conversation between Secia and the patriarch, Mu You had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Obviously, after Muro's disappearance, Cessia had come to the patriarch, hoping that he could send someone out to find Muro, but unfortunately, out of consideration for racial safety, the patriarch did not go to find it, but sent someone to block the entrance directly.

In this way, the ring forest is safe, but it is equivalent to sacrificing Muro.

A short thought floated by, Mu You didn't say anything, this is a matter within the human family, and it has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he finally picked up the opportunity to communicate with the patriarch, Mu You hurriedly sent a large paragraph of information that had been edited earlier, introduced his identity and intentions, and made it clear the crisis that the savage clan is currently facing.

[You were trying to explain the situation, but the savage patriarch suddenly interrupted you: "Needless to say, young man, I understand your intention. ”】

["Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention to the movements of those Protoss. But if you're going to have your ancestors ally with you to help you fight against the Protoss, don't think about it. ”】

["The first king led our clan to live in seclusion here precisely to avoid being drawn into the whirlpool of power struggle in the outside world. 'Abide by your heart, stick to the forest, and never meddle in the affairs outside the forest, so as to ensure the eternal survival of our clan', this is the last instruction left by the previous king. ”】

["Between your unsubstantiated speculation and the legacy of the previous king, who do you think I will believe? Who will the people believe? ”】

As Cessia expected, the patriarch decisively rejected his persuasion.

Next, Mu You continued to persuade without giving up, and explained the great threat of the God-devouring beast from multiple angles and all-round, as well as the benefits of cooperation between the two clans.

It's a pity, no matter what he says, the savage patriarch has never been able to enter the oil and salt, anyway, he has decided that there is a little reason for death: the first king said that as long as they shrink into the forest, the clan will be fine, in short, the last words of the first king must not be violated.

Now Mu You is completely out of line.

Looking at this situation, the first king is a god-like existence in the hearts of most savages, and the words left by the first king are the heavenly rules that must be obeyed, and if you want to move them, it is estimated that only by resurrecting the first king, or by letting the god-devouring beast enter the ring forest, it is possible to make them sober up.

It's no wonder that the savage clan is so difficult to communicate, the patriarch himself is an old stubborn who doesn't know how to be flexible, and the people below will certainly not be much better.

Next, Mu You was 'sent off' and left the council hall, but he did not leave the seventh floor directly, because the Secia who brought him here was left by the patriarch to reminisce about the past.

Mu You was thus given a period of time to stay in the seventh layer.

[You wander near the door of the council chamber, and the seed of time in your body suddenly conveys a thought to you again. 】

[This time you feel clearly, the seed of time has guided you in a direction. 】

[You follow the guidance of the seed of time, and at the end of the field of vision in front of you is a blue lake without waves......]

"Moon Lake?"

Mu You was a little surprised, the seed of time seemed to be guiding him closer to Moon Lake?

The prompt of the seed of time came and went quickly, and after such a vague prompt popped up, there was no more news.

Mu You couldn't judge for a while what the seed of time wanted him to do.

After thinking about it, Mu You activated the ability of the Hidden Wind, stealth into the wind, and approached in the direction of Moon Lake.

Of course, he didn't want to jump into the Moon Lake, there were so many guards on the lake, he couldn't get by, he just planned to get closer and see if he could activate the hint of the seed of time again.

It's a pity that the prompt of the seed of time never appears again, but two other unexpected prompts pop up one after another.

[Warning: There is a violent disturbance ahead, continue to move forward, and the game text latency will increase significantly until the connection is lost.] 】

Mu You had just walked out not far before a warning similar to 404 popped up.

The area in front of you seems to be out of the game's area of influence, and the game will drop if you go any further.

Mu You hurriedly let the character retreat.

Then another prompt popped up.

["Dididi...... Thousands of meters ahead, a strong continuous pulse signal was detected! From the bottom of the lake...... "Ava warns you. 】

"Oh?"

Mu You was stunned, but he was not too surprised. The mechanic jumped into the Moon Lake wearing his armor, and he himself died, but the Armor Moon Stone or something should not have been dissolved, but sank to the bottom of the lake.

It is likely that those armors and moonstones have also carved some positioning signals on them, and it is normal for them to receive them when they are close to the moon lake at this time.

["Note: This signal is not a signal made for a mechanical body, but a biological signal sent by a biological brainwave shaped energy."] ”】

Ava suddenly reminded again, and looked at Mu You in a daze, what do you mean, a signal from a living being, there are living things under the water?

Moreover, the signal that can be received by Ava must be a fixed signal that has been specially modulated, and only the Origin Armor can receive it from each other, and the creature that can send this signal can ......

"Could it be...... Is the mechanic still alive? ”

Mu You felt incredible, even if all the wild people were dazzled at that time, and the mechanic didn't die after jumping into the lake, but now tens of thousands of years have passed, how can a person still be alive after being sunk to the bottom of the Moon Lake for tens of thousands of years?

"Be careful! Ava's warning sounded. 】

[You've been attacked by a wild man!] 】

[When the crisis comes, the Warframe automatically runs the defense under Ava's control, and catapults you out of the back. 】

[Your body was directly exposed to the air, and you fell to the ground, breaking your head and bleeding. 】

[And in the next second, the armor guarding in front of you was smashed apart by the fist of a wild man, shattered into countless fragments and parts, and flew in all directions. 】

[And behind the fallen armor, the expressionless face of a middle-aged savage is exposed. 】

[You immediately recognize this person: this is one of the several savage officials who just walked out of the Patriarch's Council Chamber......] (End of this chapter)
