Chapter 328 Investment and Return Second
This is a knight's armor excavated from the ancient mausoleum, because it is stored in the storage cabinet, it is relatively well preserved, the metallurgical process is very high metal plate armor, the thickness of the armor is four or five hundred millimeters, wearing it is simply a human-shaped tank, and the metal is also an unprecedented man-made alloy, the metal properties in different joints and different positions are different, but they are inexplicably perfectly fused together, and I don't understand the production process at all.
It's magic, magic......
That's right, and it's still not enchanted active. Is this armor itself a magic equipment, the metal sandwich and the lining are imprinted with dense magic circuits and magic arrays, according to the bikini armor strength of the legion magic envoy that Li Pan once saw in Kepler, this kind of head to toe, the defense is even more awesome.
Of course, the prehistoric humans of this earth are essentially magical civilizations, and everyone is obviously a master, but they make their protective gear equipment look like this, to put it bluntly, it is because the magic output is too strong, and if you don't wear thicker, you can't bear it on the battlefield.
Of course, this kind of armor of a few tons is not a superman who can't wear it at all, and the defense power is probably not enough to make a bikini, so in the attack and defense of spears and shields, the era of golem technology will soon come.
Yes, through the analysis of the detector, there is a skeleton inside the knight's armor, which seems to be combined with techniques such as necromancy, projecting the soul of a human on this skeleton soldier wearing heavy armor, so as to obtain a powerful combat power far beyond living beings and can kill all mortal beings.
And this is the golem puppet of the original Golem, in other words, the steel alloy is all flesh and skin, and the skeleton soldiers inside are the real core skeleton.
In fact, judging from archaeological research, the golems before this were just gargoyles, clay men, skeleton soldiers and other miscellaneous fish and demons, and the magicians were also mages wearing robes, and they were basically still in the normal style of the magic world.
But it seems that at a certain point in time, with the update and iteration of magic and alchemy, the industrial revolution broke out under the accumulation of technology, so the Golem architecture was gradually born, and it progressed and developed rapidly.
Finally, the magical civilization of humans, a combat weapon designed for war, was born to the magic knight.
According to the study of the ultimate strength of the material, it is speculated that such a first-generation golem can at least reach the AG-RS series, which is 50 times overloaded.
Well, yes, in order to make it available to ordinary earthlings, the AG puppet has been greatly weakened.
In fact, the first generation of ancient magic dolls had extremely high, exceptional, and even explosive combat effectiveness.
And the production process of these original Golems itself does not seem to be complicated, at least it seems that they can be mass-produced.
After all, on the battlefield site, the remains of a large-scale knight on the scale of a legion were found, well, it is a knight not a warrior, because there are even complete sets of horse harness vests, but there are no bones in the vests, it may be some kind of magical creature.
Ancient humans must have relied on such a large-scale, grouped heavy armored magic knights to complete the conquest and unification of the world.
However, due to the fact that the time is too long, the ruins are scarce, and it is not sure what the strength of the enemy of the ancient humans is, so they can use such a creation to deal with it.
Now the dolls made by the VK group are essentially a reverse study of these first knights, but unlike ancient humans, the heavenly humans do not have the magic level of ancient humans, and they can use soul magic to possess the body to Golem for operation, although the ruins of civilization preserve a complete magic tutorial from entry to earth, but it seems that because of some congenital deficiency, VK researchers have not been able to use even the most basic soul magic so far, so they have to take a long detour, A complex and sophisticated quantum communication system links the bionic human brain.
Well, so those human reapers, who have projected to the high dimensions, can come down on these intact knight armors at any time if they want to, and turn into terrifying killing machines, knights of death. It's just that people don't seem to be in that interest anymore......
Li Pan turned his head to look at the shadow behind him, and the mask changed from 'surprise' to 'music'......
Sand sculpture stuff......
'Fun', 'fun', 'fun', 'fun'
Li Pan turned his face away and ignored it, and continued to stroll through the museum.
This ancient magical civilization is really strong, much stronger than imagined, they have achieved the unification of all mankind early on, and they can use magic teleportation and golem technology to roam the earth and explore the starry sky at will.
It's just that due to the difference in evolutionary routes, everything in the material world has no practical meaning to them, and Golem is just an alchemy prop used to deal with enemies, eliminate interference, and evolve astray.
The leaders who rule at the top of society are dedicated to the study of the great magic of immortality, searching for the ultimate answer to the eternal existence of the soul.
And they succeeded.
The magic array that refines human beings into the god of death has been clearly recorded and preserved, but the ultimate answer that also belongs to the soul magic is not even accessible to humans on the scientific side now, and naturally no one can achieve it.
In short, the world has been shaped so perfectly and analyzed so thoroughly. It can be said that it has been cleared.
So humanity perished.
Well, it can't be said to be 'perish', you beat the game, and you won't sit all the time staring at the settlement screen, right? It's game over, so let's open it again, of course.
Therefore, the human beings in this world probably felt that the material world had enough of playing and the soul was complete, so through great magic, they achieved collective ascension, and flew to the next copy to explore the higher-dimensional universe.
Although there are still some sand sculptures left in this plane, just hang around.
Mask 'Le' 'Le' 'Le' 'Le'......
However, what made Li Pan curious, and what also puzzled VK Group, was not Golem technology, or soul magic.
It's the 'magic' itself.
Magic, nano magic elves, this is the technology of Earth 0. And in this world, there is also a completely different creation, but it has been restructured, and from a microscopic point of view, it is a completely different creation, the ultimate magic technology.
However, the researchers still found traces of PANTHEON's science and technology, which is why they were able to understand the structure of local magic, and to analyze and reverse study Golem.
IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT THIS LOCAL MAGICAL CIVILIZATION WAS DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF THE PANTHEON MAGIC CODE, OR AT LEAST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF PANTHEON.
SO INITIALLY, VK GROUP THOUGHT THAT THIS EARTH WAS ALSO THE BASE OF THE LEGION, THE BASE CAMP OF PANTHEON OR SOMETHING.
But there is one link that is not right.
Time.
The timing is not right.
From the exploration of ruins, the study of determination, and the analysis of the magic elves themselves. This civilization has existed for too long, so long that it can even be reversed back to the era of Earth 0, it is impossible for PANTHEON to create it, and it may even be developed in parallel with Earth 0, a parallel world of magic!
But what's the matter with those magic elves? What about the ruins of PANTHEON? This magic system, some magic rules, does follow PANTHEON's coding rules?
Therefore, some people boldly speculate that this civilization may have mastered the laws of manipulating time and space when it developed to a certain extent!
Well, after all, everyone can become a god beyond the dimension, and controlling time and space is not unimaginable.
However, there is no argument to support this view, after all, this world is very well preserved, and there are various soul research notes, but there is no record of time magic in the magic books.
Therefore, the more widely accepted explanation is that it is probably that one of PANTHEON's colonial ships used the faster-than-light jump in the experiment when evading pursuit, and then accidentally passed through the wormhole and came to a magical world parallel to the zero time of the earth, and then affected and interfered with the local civilization process, promoting technological innovation and progress, and so on......
"Demon King."
“…… What? ”
Li Pan turned his head to look at the android who took the initiative to walk to his side, the other party used an optical camouflage mask, and the prosthetic body was also a black horse, and there was also a shadow wearing a mask behind him, probably some kind of cosmic person came to travel.
"He, the Ancient Empire, the King of Magic."
The cosmic man pointed to the ancient statue in front of him, a young man in a robe.
"This man is supposed to be the guardian of this world, according to legend, his appearance directly saved the Magic Empire, and survived for at least fifteen thousand years, and then completed the Great Holy Grail, drank the wine of eternal life, and became the first person in this plane to ascend to godhood, death."
"Oh, it's really fake, it can live for 15,000 years......"
Li Pan looked at the mask beside him.
The mask nodded solemnly.
Hiss...... Really...... This is already some kind of god in itself......
The cosmic man crossed his arms,
"Who knows, it may also be that in order to create human heroes, the legends of various ages have been confused, and literary and artistic exaggerations have been carried out.
However, what is certain from the handwriting of ancient books is that there is indeed an elite magician as the core who promotes the development of immortal magic.
Therefore, it may not be an exaggeration to say that he is a hero who conquered death and mankind. ”
Li Pan doubted,
"Victory over death...... It's just that you're afraid of death, right? The wine of eternal life.
Aren't those major shareholders now doing everything they can for the sake of immortality? ”
"Indeed, if all the power, wealth, knowledge, and honor of the world are in hand, the only thing left to pass the time is conquest and death."
The cosmic man looked at the statue and nodded, then turned his head to look at Li Pan,
"However, I saw from the ancient scrolls that this person's original wish seemed to be to resurrect the lost beloved, but not only did he not get back what he lost, but in the process of moving forward, he kept losing his companions, and finally finally came to the end and reached the root, only to find that although he had obtained the 'magic of immortality', he was alone and had nothing.
It's ironic, the pursuit of immortality is not allowed, and the immortality of saving loved ones is not available to everyone, and no one can really achieve their wishes by reaching the root. ”
Li Pan frowned and looked at the other party,
"This ......"
The cosmic man turned his head,
"Hey, fencing."
“…… Yes? ”
Well, scare Lao Tzu, it's a serious fencing competition.
Of course, it is a superhuman sport like the current superman football, officially known as La Verdadera Destreza, the supreme technique, both sides are naturally prosthetic people, using one-handed swift swords, no armor, no protection, no rules of swordsmanship duel matches.
The loser is either dead or disabled, but it doesn't matter, the android dies and dies, and another one is needed.
There is an experience fencing hall in this museum, which uses a replica of an antique magic sword, the blade is about one meter long, the sword body is very exquisitely worked, the mythril sword carving, the patterned handguard and gemstone weight, like a work of art, but it has a sharp blade like a needle, which can easily penetrate the human body and armor. It is said that this weapon was developed from the armor-piercing sword that was designed to condense the magic power on the tip of the sword and break through the magic armor that was displayed before.
Of course, the professional battlefield armor-piercing sword is a heavy sword that is closer to an awl chisel, with a large number of combat magic enchanted, and these are dress swords, which are swords worn and defended by magicians when they are not wearing armor, so they pay more attention to aesthetics while retaining their lethality, considering that the use occasions are closer to the court, and the duel and assassination on the street gradually develop in the direction of 'skill' and 'swiftness'.
However, it is said to be a swift sword, and this sword itself still has considerable strength, which can easily complete the piercing of heavy armor and the cutting of human bones, and it is not a foil that is bent for safety.
Directly downloaded the basic tutorial, tried to swing the sword, and clarified the general rules under the guidance of the intelligent assistance system, Li Pan began to practice fencing with the cosmic man who was probably also to the museum on the other side, and was so bored that he came to talk to passers-by.
Roughly speaking, there are two major schools of swordsmanship, one is biased towards volleying, blocking and counterattacking, arcing, using the change of angle, the advantage of leverage, continuous and smooth footwork, and grasping the opponent's body imbalance and flaws in action to win.
There is also a focus on waist and leg training and strength, focusing on offense, taking the initiative to take a ferocious style of play that is close to risk-taking, launching sharp thrusts, boldly rushing forward with bouncing footwork, and piercing opponents through simple thrusts and dodges.
In fact, there are similarities in swordsmanship itself, although Li Pan is not good at swordsmanship, but he has also roughly learned some monkey swordsmanship, blood urn swordsmanship, Penglai swordsmanship, so he has adapted to the center of gravity and size of the swift sword, and he will soon be able to get started.
The cosmic man on the opposite side is obvious, he is a real nobleman, a child of a chaebol, and he has obviously received fencing training since he was a child, and he has been fighting in an aristocratic school since he was a child.
Li Pan used defensive swordsmanship to block, dodge with steps, and match the rhythm of the opponent to meet attacks that were sometimes as dense as spring breeze and drizzle, and sometimes as fierce as thunder and lightning.
Well, this guy's strength is not weak, and he can maintain ten times the speed of overload to fight, at least at the level of an amateur athlete. Li Pan didn't mind playing with him either.
"What do you think of the horses?"
"Well, the prosthetic performance is good, but the sensory stimulation is too strong, I still prefer BBA."
If you get stabbed now, it probably hurts, but of course it's the tension caused by this pain......
"I mean alive, real horses."
"Uh, I've only touched real dogs......"
"Dogs, dogs are not bad, I have a group of Dobermans, if you like it, I can give you one."
“…… Thank you. ”
Just don't stab people in the eye with a sword when you deliver something.
"What about music, do you like opera or drama? Skiing or scuba diving? What about alcohol? Which winery do you like? ”
Why are you, blind date?
Li Pan was a little inexplicable at first, thinking that the other party wanted to cooperate with the mouth to distract himself, but the other party asked too much and reacted.
"Oh, you're the daughter of the Piderson family......"
The cosmic man suddenly shook his wrist, the speed of the sword soared tenfold, the tip of the sword was like a silver snake spitting out a letter, and the three swords of the brush shook towards Li Panmian's door.
Yo, the little girl's skin is quite powerful. But Lao Tzu's level crushes you!
So Li Pan didn't play with her anymore, and backhanded a sword three times! You're faster, I'm faster! A hundredfold speedup! Last to come, first served! Break your wrist and pierce your heart! Clean and neat, instant kill!
The android fell to the ground, instantly stained with bright red arterial blood beneath him, and died after a few moments of convulsion.
The masked shadow stood by and watched for a while, his face 'painful', and after a while he turned to 'annoyed'.
Then Li Pan saw a young woman push open the door and walk into the sword arena with a cold face, sure enough, it was the female rider he had seen at Peterson's Farm, the one he had planned to marry. Well, it seems that the other party has no intention of giving up......
"You don't like to lose, do you?"
Hearing the other party's anger, Li Pan swept away the blood stains on the sword with a swing of his sword, smiled and saluted,
"Yes, that's my kind of character, I can't afford to lose."
You can't say that Lao Tzu is afraid of pain, right......
"What a stingy man!"
The woman coldly glanced at the android corpses on the ground, and glared at Li Pan again,
"You obviously have the strength to spare, but you only scratched my wrist to grab the sword, but you killed mercilessly with your hot hands.
It seems that you are cruel and cold by nature. ”
The mask also changed from 'irritated' to 'excited'...... Well, well???
Li Pan was vigilant, and hurriedly licked the blade of the sword, adding the ghost beast Yan Yidao,
"Boom! Lao Tzu's ruffian in the countryside! It's just uneducated! I just like to see such a picture of blood splattering! ”
"Hmph, that's disgusting!"
A woman glared at the bed bug watch.
And her mask changed from 'excitement' to 'anticipation'.
…… Why, the strength is not enough?
So Li Pan stared at her thighs in a daze,
"This is your prototype? The figure is really okay, is it genetically coordinated?
Well, with this muscle curve, it seems that fencing is quite hip-sharp. ”
The woman's head is raised,
"That's nature, it's not enough to have the potential of genes, fencing, equestrian, rock climbing, surfing, I exercise at least four hours a day, I like to sweat profusely."
Mask 'Pride'.
“……”
Li Pan turned his head to look at his mask in confusion.
No, obviously this guy also thinks Lao Tzu is 'disgusting'......
"What are you looking at?"
The woman and her mask turned their heads in confusion.
It doesn't seem to be pretended, I shouldn't have used the Holy Grail, I haven't seen death......
"Let's go of two out of three...... By the way, ma'am, what do you call you? Miss Pederson? You won't be the old man's daughter, will you? ”
Li Pan was also so rotten that he played emoji with her, and threw the swift sword that fell to the ground.
The other party took the sword in his hand, tore off the bionic man's severed hand and held it, and without saying a word, another sword stabbed him,
"Diana, but not a Piderson, just a domestic plaything."
Li Pan turned his head away, and the other party turned the sword edge around, stabbing at the thigh artery with another arrow,
"I have half of his genes, and the other half is from some Heavenly Athletic champion.
So you have to get a medal or marry you before you can put your name in the family trust.
Presumably, our offspring will have excellent athletic genetic adaptability, and it should not be a problem to win a gold medal or something. ”
Li Pan casually blocked her attack, stirring the blade of the sword to deflect her and stabbing as if venting.
"What, so this is the old man's order to you? To seduce Lao Tzu? Gluttonous body? ”
"It's just an exchange of interests."
Diana unleashed a sharp stabbing blow,
"If you want his money, you have to prove that you are useful to him. Don't you either! ”
Oh, that's right, a real capitalist is like this, he can spend money, he can invest angels, he can accept risks and losses, but the premise is that what he buys has to have the value of that investment.
No matter what your relationship with him is, or what credit you have made in the past, those are settled on the spot in the past contract. And once it loses the value of continuing to use, it will roll up and get out. No one will raise you for nothing, not even your wife, sons, and daughters.
The real capitalists, who always only care about their own interests, are such a group of people.
Li Pan stirred it casually, as she wished, and stirred Diana's swift sword away, and the whole person was in her arms.
"Although I don't watch the competition, but with your ability, I'm afraid it's very difficult to win the Heavenly Sword Championship."
Diana looked at Li Pan,
"I think so, so I'm actually focusing on equestrianism, and there are fewer competitors.
Hey, let's go horseback riding. ”
