Chapter 9: The Age of Armor
In the yellowish room, a teenager was lying quietly on a large white bed, his face was bandaged, and he seemed to be seriously injured.
Next to the boy sat a girl, her hands on the bed, her head on the side of her hand to sleep, exhaling evenly, obviously deep sleep.
The young man's exposed fingers shook slightly, struggling, and suddenly touched a few strands of hair, and a slight tingling sensation was transmitted to the young man's nerve center through the sensory nerves, tickling from time to time.
"Uh-huh."
The boy finally came to his senses, and the excessive rise and fall of his body pulled the injury out of nowhere, and he unconsciously snorted secretly.
The boy's fingers stretched out and hooked the girl's hair, and the hair fell gently and landed on the girl's nose, and the ventilation fan in the room brought out a small breeze, rhythmically stroking the strands of hair.
The girl had an itchy nose and woke up from her sleep.
"No? You're awake, it's okay, move gently, be careful of the wound, the doctor just bandaged you yesterday. ”
The girl's muffled voice came out, and even though she was not fully conscious, her words were still full of concern.
"I'm fine, Ti."
Nou stretched his limbs slightly, feeling the wound on his body, and there was a hint of hesitation in his words.
"You...... Are you always there for me? ”
Ti lazily supported his chin with his hands, and replied with his eyes half-open: "Yes, yesterday I accompanied the doctor to do a test for you for a long time, but fortunately there was no major problem, only some trauma and excessive detachment on the face, they were extremely surprised by you, and I also looked at the index of the monitor yesterday, and it was indeed a little unbelievable." ”
Nuo chuckled, the corners of his mouth hooked: "Don't worry, no matter how difficult the predicament is, I have survived it." ”
Ti nodded: "I believe you, do you want to eat something?" The doctor said that you can't overeat now, but you still need to replenish some energy in time, and I will get it for you if you want. ”
Nuo shook his head slightly: "You must be very tired from taking care of me for so long, rest and rest, my injuries are fine, go out for a walk and breathe." ”
Nou firmly pressed Ti's small hand to stop him from getting up, dragging his weak body and staggering to his feet.
"Lie in bed and sleep a little longer, I'll be back soon."
Nou slowly walked over to Ty's side and spoke to her softly.
Ti felt helpless, but he couldn't say anything more, looking at Nuo's not tall but full of security's back.
Ty gently climbed into bed and slept where Noh had been, smelling his scent and his face a little hot.
But soon, drowsiness hit, Ti hugged the quilt tightly, a soft smile hung on his lips, and fell asleep peacefully.
……
On the corridor outside the room, Nuo walked step by step with the dim light, looking back from time to time, admiring the mysterious spiritual place that ordinary people rarely see in their lives.
Perhaps it was time for the staff and researchers to rest, but Noh didn't see a single person in the long corridor.
At the end, Nuo turned a corner, and in front of him was a huge silver alloy door, with a sign carved in the middle, drawing a sword of the Holy Judgment straight down.
Nou walked to the door, measured it carefully, and groped his palms on either side of the door, and after a while noticed a slight bulge.
Nuo pressed hard, the door slowly opened its mouth from the sign like a giant beast, and behind the heavy alloy door was a hot research room, several people walked around exchanging information, and most of the rest were busy sitting at their respective posts, and they didn't understand any of the words that came out of their mouths.
No one paid any attention to him when he stepped into the research room, but a few people who happened to pass by gave him a sincere smile.
Noe found it interesting.
Just as Nou was about to take a look around on his own, Professor Florian walked in through the side door, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, holding a large stack of paper books in his hand, the smell of ink was clearly audible, and it looked like it was full of information.
Professor Florian greeted No, with a kind smile: "Venerable Armored Knight, how are you recovering, it seems that your complexion is not bad, but according to the time of the outside world, it is midnight, you can rest a little longer, and tomorrow I will show you our sanctuary, the great creation of the Divine Great." ”
Nou's voice reached No's ears, and Nou felt a hint of surprise, which was very different from his impression of Professor Florian.
"I didn't expect you to have such a respectable side, Professor, Assassin, you have the demeanor of a scholar."
Noe exclaimed.
Professor Florian smiled slightly, and did not think about No's astonishment: "Human beings have two sides, you outsiders just often only see one side of us, but you hurriedly make decisive and arbitrary decisions based on this, just like our sanctuary, in your eyes, is an evil spirit place, carrying out countless crazy experiments, but in our opinion, he is the crystallization of technology, the origin of the era of armor." But things are like this, and anyone will subconsciously look at the problem based on their own subjective position, and I see it very clearly, so I never make excessive accusations against your rudeness. ”
Noe lowered his hands and returned with a kind smile: "It sounds very philosophical, and it seems that Professor Florian in the form of a scholar is very inspiring." ”
"Scholar form?" Professor Florian laughed, "That's a good description, a very apt description of different human natures. ”
Nuo put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice: "In this case, I am very presumptuous to be able to occupy a little of your time, I hope to learn more knowledge first." ”
Professor Florian waved his hand to a nearby researcher who was returning the data, and after a few words, handed him the thick stack in his hand.
"Of course, Knights of Armor, we are not stingy in sharing our knowledge with those who are humble in seeking advice."
Professor Florian led the way, pressed the button that opened the iron door in the middle of the research room, and entered a wider field.
Nou followed Professor Florian and went out the door.
Behind the door appears to be a maintenance site, with armored machines of various appearances controlled by the staff of the Spirit Center, and complex instruments everywhere.
But the most conspicuous are the two metal beasts hanging in the middle.
"That's ......"
Nuowei opened his mouth, shocked by the sight in front of him.
"That's the armor you wore when you faced off with Jan."
Professor Florian explained to No.
"Jan?"
"It's the manipulator of the black armor that you fought against, the first armored knight cultivated in the Sanctuary."
Professor Florian casually explained, taking Noor over to the parapet of the mechanical armor and watching the armor repair work more closely.
"Alright, Armored Knight, you can ask your questions about these two huge 'monsters', of course I may not have that much time, after all, the director can skip his duties, but his employees can't, I have to supervise them, of course, I also have some important tasks to complete."
Professor Florian said humorously.
Nuo stared at the armor, pondered for a while, and said: "Professor, the knight of the armor is a very honorable title, I don't think I deserve this title, you can call me Nuo." ”
Professor Florian patiently explained: "No, no, of course you deserve it, in the sanctuary, there are very few test subjects who can complete two rounds of experiments at one time, in this era of armor, you, you are a well-deserved armored knight, I believe that there is no extraordinary heart will not be linked through the spirit of people and mechas, that requires incomparably strong perseverance and confidence." ”
Nou still shook his head, "Perhaps, Professor, but I prefer your name to me, it will make me feel better." ”
Professor Florian nodded helplessly: "Okay, No, I respect your choice. ”
After thanking Professor Florian, Nou asked, "Was the inspiration for the second-generation armor from the primordial armor?" ”
Professor Florian nodded firmly: "Of course, to be more precise, the second-generation armor is the model of the primordial armor that is copied, including the armor's weapons, and the swift blade we named is also owned on the primordial armor, in our opinion, the primordial armor is the creation of the gods, and there is no need to change it." ”
Nuo suddenly realized: "What about the materials made of armor?" Is it the same as the original armor? ”
Professor Florian shook his head regretfully: "In fact, we know that the raw material for the production of the original armor is the gilt condensed by the flowing gold river pouring down from the peak of the Gambis Mountains, which can be said to be indestructible, but because of this, our current mining technology is not yet able to support large-scale development, and can only slowly rely on time to dig up a small piece, and then spend more time crushing it, so at present, only the blade teeth of the blade and some important parts of the body are covered with gilt, The others can only be the hardest alloys under the current technology. ”
Nod nodded, indicating that he understood.
Professor Florian looked at the delicate pocket watch in his hand, estimated the time, and said apologetically, "It's a pity, No, that we can only have such a brief conversation, you are a wise boy, and when I have time tomorrow I will show you and the little girl a tour of our great creation, and then you can ask your doubts as much as you like." ”
Nuo bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Sorry for taking up your precious time, see you tomorrow." ”
Professor Florian smiled, "Goodbye." ”
