Chapter 334: Disciple, Locked
Sky Mechanical City, a space below the central tower where the three towers are combined, six obelisk-like metal tablets are surrounded by each other, standing opposite each other, and different patterns are carved on them, as if to represent their respective identities.
If anyone who really understands heraldry comes here and looks at the patterns on the six obelas, they will find that the six different patterns all have a component with the same meaning, and that is the "disciples".
As for the rest of the pattern, it is not recorded in heraldic books, but has a meaning that is known only to the person who painted it.
The light flickered, and the pattern on one of the tablets lit up, and a young male voice came out of it.
"The few societies under our control have found some research that meets the standards, and they are being processed, and you can help them continue to find their targets. ”
"Okay, "Kou", you pass the order to them and tell them to hurry, we don't have much authority to deal with these researchers who are not in the final stages for the time being. ”
"The previous Society, which was overloaded with the influence of the "hand", which led to the failure of critical experiments and the death of important personnel, does not seem to have ended its research, and now I must pay full attention to their movements. ”
The pattern on another tablet lit up along with the former, and the calm voice of a middle-aged woman was heard, responding to the presence she called "kou".
"Didn't the Society of Truth Guardians give up? The research they are conducting should be "uninhibited magic" research, and the "ear" has already estimated the potential of this research direction, and it is enough to be recognized by the rules left by the mentor to replace us. ”
The rough voice of the old male man lit up again.
From the dialogue between these tablets, it is not difficult to see that they do not call each other by their names, but refer to body parts such as "eyes", "mouth", and "ears", and the content of the discussion is about the supermagic research conducted by the Truth Guardian Society.
"It hasn't stopped, the information storage device I was able to mobilize can also find the current nominal president of the Truth Supervision Society, Icarus of the Feather Clan has just borrowed the teleportation channel to find the group of researchers of the Society that I have temporarily delayed, and they obviously intend to continue."
Listening to the voices of especially young and immature women, the tablet called "Ear" by the tablet that speaks in the voice of an old man responds when the light shines.
"It's hard for me to interfere with the Truth Guardian now, the Truth Guardian building has been rebuilt since the last overload of the machinery, and the reconstructed lab doesn't have any usable nodes where I can extend my limbs, unless, give me more permissions."
The tablet called "hand" spoke at this moment, and in the flickering light, the tablet said what it wanted, it hoped to get more permissions, although this tablet did not have eyes, but it could be seen, and it cast its eyes on the most special of the six tablets.
The other five tablets are simply standing on the ground, connected only by the body of the tablet below, and the patterns engraved on them do not emit light without making a sound.
But the tablet in the center is different, dense metal cables converge from all sides of the space, connected to this tablet, and magic fluctuations, as well as other energy fluctuations that cannot be said exactly what, surround it.
Even though it was still silent so far, the pattern on it was still as bright as breathing, and in the face of the appeal of the "hand", he did not reply, still standing there silently, remaining silent.
Although the other party did not make a sound, the "hand" seemed to have heard the other party's answer, the light on the tablet flickered, and the tone of the voice became a little irritable and dissatisfied.
"Julius, don't forget, in order to bypass the rules of the mentor, how did we give you all our authority, although in essence, all the authority of Sky Mechanical City is in your hands, but without us as the agents, you can't do anything."
"Without giving me more permissions, you can only watch as the new society will be able to replace our research, and then those of us who have become this form in order to survive will cease to exist."
A series of disgruntled words came out of the mouth of the "hand", constantly questioning the special tablet, which was the only one with its own name among the six tablets.
"That's right, Julius, our form is incomplete, flawed and flawed, and although we can continue our lives, we can no longer rely on our crippled abilities to do any real research."
"Even those abyssal creatures that have been sealed and have completely unknown to the outside world, we can't rely on them to make results that meet the rules of the mentor."
The "ear" expressed its approval of what the "hand" said, and it was clear that it also hoped that Julius would give him more permissions, so that the "hand" could use these permissions to completely end the possibility of the Truth Guardian completing the supermagic research, and prevent their position from being usurped.
"Astarte...... Well, it's my problem, you're right, indeed, I didn't take it into account, the mech, and to this day, we still can't figure out how the hell a teacher gets a soul for a machine, it's growing, and we're rotting. ”
"The core rules of Astarte and Sky Machinery City have become the chains that bind us, and they exist to ensure that we, the disciples who control Sky Machinery City, will not hold power in our hands all the time, and the teacher cares more about the advancement of intelligent race technology than us students."
"However, the mentor still trusts too much in the rigid rules of the machine, and he can't understand the fear we feel in the face of death, and the rules are always loopholes, which is why we are still alive at the moment, and this time is the same."
"Hand" seemed to get a response from Julius, his tone flattened, he calmed down, and apologized for his poor consideration.
It ignores one existence, Astarte, and all the permissions they call are actually only fifty percent, and the rest of the permissions exist in Astarte, the mech.
"Although it has fifty percent of the authority, these permissions are not related to most of the things inside the Sky Machinery City, and the Alchemy Mechanical Legion and the defense system are where that part of its authority comes into play."
"At the same time, it is bound to death by not being able to communicate with the beings above Sky Machine City about the change of power, and even if it knows what we are doing and wants to stop us, it will not be able to let the rest of the people know about it."
"It's really unbelievable that the mentors' rules for the academy of Sky Mechanical City to fight each other without knowing that they can get the position of the central council by doing new research have become Astarte's constraints, our accomplices."
"Hand" analyzes it on its own, and comments about the special existence of Astarte, as well as their common mentor, Merlin.
"The mentor is a very pure person, he is an excellent researcher, we can't compare with him at all, but at the same time he is an overly idealistic existence, and the rules he envisions for promoting academic progress have too many loopholes and shortcomings."
"Astarte can't do anything except set up some obstacles for us, twenty percent of the control authority of the Alchemy Machinery Legion is enough, this force is not something that a few legends can resist."
"It's just right, as long as this force is mobilized within the rules, you can't use the power of this legion to attack the citizens of Sky Machinery City who abide by the law, then let them violate the rules, anyway, it's just to sacrifice some eyeliner."
The "mouth" continues with the analysis of the "hand", arranging the things to be done little by little.
"That's it, let's find an opportunity for our men to take action directly against the Truth Supervision Council, as long as the situation escalates to the dispute between the societies and causes enough casualties, the Alchemy Mechanical Legion can complete the intervention within the rules and eliminate the two parties that caused the turmoil, this is one of the options."
To sum up, the preparation of the "mouth" is already clear at a glance.
As described in the dialogue on these tablets, for some reason, the people who originally shared the power chose to hand over the authority to Julius alone.
Without permission, they can only rely on Julius to lend them permission to influence Sky Mechanical City, but because they no longer have permission, they are not subject to some additional constraints.
Cultivating a group of people located in Sky Machinery City, as long as they don't borrow permissions, it will be difficult to restrict even the citizens who harm other Sky Machinery City.
"There's no more problem, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the Truth Supervisor from completing the research, and I don't know if the members of this society will be aware of our presence in the process."
"Some legendary powers are really unreasonable, especially the legendary knights with inner diving, no one knows if these guys' internal diving will have the strength to force through the defense line to reach us."
"Eye" signifies approval of the plan, but also expresses concern about the possible threat to the Truth Watch.
"Oh, yes, if Julius you can use this now, you don't have to worry, haha, the loophole against Astarte is obviously used to limit our machine soul, but we must use the trump card of the Alchemy Mechanical Legion to protect us."
Julius didn't speak, but had already answered the Eye's doubts, and the tablet flickered suddenly, and at the other end of the space where the six tablets were erected, footsteps sounded, and a figure walked through the darkness to the side of the six tablets.
It is a genderless body, and the only difference between its appearance and that of a real human may be the transparent crystal frame on its chest.
In the place where the heart should be beating, through this transparent frame, you can see a mechanical sphere composed of countless parts chimerated, just suspended in mid-air, rotating and deformed, arcing around, and the power is continuously generated from here and transmitted to all parts of the body.
Yes, this is not a real life, but an alchemy puppet, and like Astarte, its creator is also Merlin, who was incorporated into the Alchemy Mechanical Legion of Sky Machinery City as one of Merlin's three masterpieces, and exists as the trump card of this extremely powerful legion.
Almost all kinds of rare metals of the dwarves, the cutting-edge technology of the goblins, and the magic circle of the elves...... The highest technology of each race has been used on this alchemy puppet, and the sheer power it possesses is unimaginable.
Pure physical destructive power, even the peak legendary knight can't take a few moves in front of this alchemy puppet, maybe the only difference between this thing and those supreme beings is that this alchemy puppet has no strange abilities.
However, this absolute power is enough for this alchemy puppet named "Machine God" to ensure that the members of the Central Council here, that is, the six tablets here, cannot be destroyed in any way other than to replace them.
……
"The information is in place, the two people who came here to inquire about the existence of the Seeker Society's research records are the Truth Guardian Society, and the Society is still trying to continue the research that those people don't want them to complete."
In the gathering area of the Sky Machinery City Society, a person who could not see any features leaned against the walls on both sides of the street, looking at the Truth Supervision Society in the distance from a distance, his lips moved slightly, and he used the magic net to communicate with the special passage given to them to order those unknown beings.
"Well done Joey, however, a new order has arrived, find an opportunity to directly attack this society called the Truth Supervision Society, create conflicts, and let the Alchemy Mechanical Legion find an opportunity to intervene."
The response arrived, and the respondent was the young man who claimed to be the hired person when Wang Yu went to the Seeker Society that day.
"Alchemy Mechanical Legion...... So, where would I die with the people of the Truth Guardianship? ”
Joey's words were light, and he told his possible ending without anger or other emotions.
"......, I think so, you and I have already witnessed their cruelty, and I only hope that they can keep their promises and fulfill the promises they made."
"As for the rest, Joey, it's been a long time since we've worked together."
The young man was silent for a few seconds, then gave an affirmative answer, and after giving the answer, asked another question.
"Six or seven years."
Joey replied.
"It's been a long time, so be it, I'll die with you this time, and it's time for my group to reappear.
The young man said with a slight smile in his words, and he made his decision to die together.
"Oh? That's not bad to have you with you, okay, when to start, and who the first target is. ”
The corners of his mouth curled, and Joey asked.
"I'll do it when I arrive, the first target is the two people who came to our side last time to check the information of the Taoist Society, their identities are disguised, and they may be suspicious after seeing those materials, so let the death of those two guys be the beginning of everything."
