Put away your suspicions about Mark, because this is not what matters now, the most important thing now is how to maximize the interests of the city.

According to the map given by the system, it can be seen that the city is very remote.

bias means ...... The mountain is high and the emperor is far away.

There are many things that cannot be easily done within the confines of the Empire, and they are achievable here.

In the end, this group of aliens did not detain Mark, but returned Mark to Zheng Yu, of course, there was a certain warning.

For example, "Although you are from the Empire, but in our territory, don't think about playing tricks" and so on.

also reminded Zheng Yu that if he didn't give money, they would really deduct Mark.

After going through "friendly" consultations.

As a smuggler, Zheng Yu followed this group of aliens into the core of Sound City, the material processing factory.

This group of aliens is actually very good to Zheng Yu, not only has a polite attitude, but even picks up and sends them to the car.

The core of the car in the Bones Wasteland is not the engine, but the skeleton creature, similar to a horse-drawn carriage, but far more advanced than a horse-drawn carriage.

"Let's talk about it."

Inside the carriage, Zheng Yu sat in the delicate space, examining Mark.

"Say what?"

Mark said dumbfounded.

Zheng Yu said with a smile: "If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind disassembling you into parts, I believe that even if you become parts, the group of people outside will take you away at a high price." ”

“……”

Mark was silent for a moment, "Didn't you guess it all?" ”

Zheng Yu: "It's not hard to guess, it's just hard to believe that there will be a high-tech skeleton creature like you, which is beyond my imagination." ”

It's too real.

Authentic to ...... You can eat, have thinking, and have your own philosophical reflections on the world.

Mark raised his head and looked at Zheng Yu, "I haven't hidden it from you, but I didn't expect you to be more ignorant than I thought." ”

Mark still owes his words.

"What about my identity, they all know it, you are the strangest, you don't even know the mark-type skeleton technology."

"I don't even know the three forbidden laws of the empire."

"I don't think you're ignorant, but ...... Not at all from this world. ”

Zheng Yu didn't explain who he really was, after all, they entered the abyss world, and if this abyss world had a complete social system, they would often be asked if they were from other worlds.

Nothing...... This is not a normal phenomenon.

Zheng Yu was only interested in the three forbidden laws of the empire, "Which three forbidden laws?" ”

Mark looked at Zheng Yu with interest, and then patiently explained: "The first prohibition is that you can't study history, you can't write history, you can't form an organization with historical achievements, and you can't collect collections with historical significance. ”

"The second prohibition prohibits the development of all mark-type skeletal organisms."

"As for me, the second-generation Mark-type skeleton creature is the most skilled intelligent skeleton creature in this era, and there is no one."

“ai？”

Zheng Yu blurted out.

"What is AI?"

"It's artificial intelligence."

"Manual? Intelligent? Mark showed a look of unbelievable emotion on his face and said, "Are you sure that humans can create real thinking creatures?" ”

“……”

Jung Woo didn't know how to answer, because what Mark said so far...... In fact, it is beyond Zheng Yu's control.

"Our birth is related to the group of bone giants in the wasteland forbidden area."

Hearing the word wasteland forbidden area, Zheng Yu instantly came to his senses.

Because the Wasteland Exclusion Zone is the destination of one of the special missions.

"I am the second generation of Mark-type skeletal creatures, and the Bone Giant is the first-generation Mac-type skeletal creatures, and our wisdom, my understanding of the world, and the so-called intelligence in your mouth all come from the first-generation Mac-type skeletal creatures."

"That is......"

"Bone Giant."

"And the study of the bone giants involves historical issues, and the empire is afraid of the group of bone giants, so the place where the bone giants are buried is the wasteland forbidden area."

"Using the core technology of the bone giant to create has also become a forbidden law."

Zheng Yu asked keenly, "What did you just say...... Bury? ”

"The Bone Giant isn't alive?"

Mark looked at Zheng Yu with a stupid expression, "You're so funny, if the bone giant is alive, what else is there to do with the empire?" It has long been flattened. ”

Zheng Yu didn't dwell on this sentence, because he found that Mark seemed to have an inexplicable reverence for his "ancestors".

"I remember you said you were a historian before? Lie to me? ”

Mark actually said very confidently: "I didn't say it, I just owned an item with historical meaning and was arrested." ”

"What's that?"

Zheng Yu wanted to ask before, but now he finally has a chance.

Mark shook his head: "It's long gone, it's the belongings of my dead master, although I'm not a historian, but my master is." ”

"My model is very expensive, only people from wealthy families in the empire can afford it, and the Mark-type machine has finished mass production, so I can be considered a relatively expensive collector's item."

"When my master died, he gave me a history book, and then I was arrested, and the book was also stolen by the people of the empire, and then you are now."

Mark's voice became smaller and quieter, because Zheng Yu had already taken out a wrench and looked at Mark's body, looking like he was about to unload him.

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

Mark hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth." ”

Zheng Yu snorted coldly, "You treat me as stupid? ”

"You said it yourself, you are a relatively expensive collection, how can you be casually thrown in a slave prison?"

Mark was silent.

There was no answer.

Jung Woo puts the wrench on Mark's eyeball and finds that Mark is not afraid.

Zheng Yu probably understood, Mark...... In fact, he is not afraid of death at all.

As he said before, what is human life, Mark is not a human being, and he doesn't care about life and death, so he said this.

Zheng Yu smiled.

Then put down the wrench.

"Could it be...... Don't you want to witness the future of your master? ”

A special look appeared in Mark's eyes, and he looked at Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu continued: "Don't you want to study your master's unfinished historical research, study it clearly, and then write it? ”

Zheng Yu pointed at himself, "I have this ability." ”

"I'm not talking to you, I'm here to accomplish something, and I'm really not from this world...... Species. ”

"It's like...... The skeletal giants, like that, don't belong to this world. ”

According to Mark's description, as well as Li Chenggong's experience of escaping in the restricted area, combined with the strange technology tree at this time, Zheng Yu can judge 100%.

The group of bone giants who brought bone technology to this world should be the same as themselves, not aborigines!

It must have something to do with God.

It just conforms to the law summarized by Nan Muyun, the abyss...... It must have something to do with God.

Although Zheng Yu has seen Li Chenggong and the strategies of the professionals who have entered the abyss of the Bone Wasteland, there is no description of Mark in their strategies.

When the Spirit Butterfly Queen slapped Mark before, the sound she made had already made Zheng Yu suspicious.

A normal head can't make the sound of an iron object crashing.

Coupled with the attitude of the guards ignoring Mark, the greedy eyes of the aliens in the Red Fence area towards Mark all prove that Mark is most likely not a Terran, but a commodity!

But Zheng Yu didn't see any information about the "Mark-type Skeleton Technology" in all the strategies.

The mission of "Rescue Mark" has been done, but only with a relevant message.

"The mission of rescuing Mark is a basic task in the early stage, but it takes a lot of time to run the map, so it is recommended that the profession who randomly arrives at this task at the beginning give up the task."

In other words, the professional who used to start randomly to rescue Mark like Zheng Yu actually gave up halfway through.

There is only a reward of 1500 crocoins.

Needing to walk thousands of kilometers with a wizened old man is not only time-consuming, but also inconvenient.

Other professions don't have the Spirit Butterfly Queen, so they all have to run on their legs.

In the guide of this professional who has done the task of rescuing Mark, he has mentioned that the rescued slave Mark will try to escape.

According to Mark's character...... Zheng Yu thinks he can do it.

Mark...... Not human at all.

It's a special one that surpasses Zheng Yu's cognition...... Humanoid skeletal creatures.

He even has his own understanding of the world, what people define as "philosophy".

After getting Mark's indirect admission, Zheng Yu finally understood why Mark's understanding of the world, what he said was a bit like the "protagonist", so confusing.

Mark's philosophy, Mark's reflections on history, all come from his former masters.

A mark who has lost his owner and can only become the collection of some imperial nobleman after that, does not care about life or death at all.

It's actually better to be dead.

Because once it is caught as a collectible, for Mark, who already has self-thinking and a philosophy of life, it is undoubtedly more terrifying than death.

But instead of choosing to end his own life, Mark chose to hide in a remote mine, disguised as a slave.

That's right, camouflage.

This is the only reasonable statement that Zheng Yu can guess based on Mark's behavior.

This kind of behavior, which is diametrically opposed to the attitude that Mark showed just now that he is not afraid of death, can only say one thing...... Mark, an out-of-print skeletal humanoid, has unfinished dreams.

Combined with the "messy" philosophical words that Mark said before, it can be judged that Mark's dream is ...... Most likely, it was the unfinished business of his former master, the historian.

Mark's reaction also tells Jung Woo that he guessed right again.

There was some hesitation when I saw Mark.

Zheng Yu struck while the iron was hot and said: "Start with this city first, do an experiment, I have strength, but I don't know anything about this world." ”

"And you...... The weak ones are to die for, but you know a lot. ”

"Cooperation?"

"Or what are you worried about?"

Zheng Yu needs the history that Mark knows, which will be very helpful for him to clear the level, and Zheng Yu believes that that history must be related to the Bone Giant and the god behind the Bone Giant.

Under the forbidden laws of the Empire, the one who can understand this history and dare to tell him is probably the skeleton creature of this former historian.

Mark hesitated, he didn't want to say it, but looked at Zheng Yu's tone that didn't want to fake.

I thought I had felt Zheng Yu's crazy attribute before.

Mark also knows very well that anyone who dares to go against the empire must be a madman.

Obviously, Zheng Yu fits this mental state, and Mark really believes what he says.

But Mark still had concerns, he thought twice, and then saw that his knees were somewhat stiff, which to outsiders seemed to be the normal state of old age.

Only he knew that it was the bones that were aging.

He couldn't hold out for long.

Thinking of this, Mark let go of his hesitation and said to Zheng Yu: "Do you know why you were able to receive this task and find me?" ”

Zheng Yu shook his head.

He didn't even know how he got the job.

Mark laughs and says, "Because there was once someone who said the same thing to you." ”

Zheng Yu said: "Is it the person who issued this task? ”

Mark nodded: "When I knew that this mission was issued from Free City, and the place you were going to take me to was Free City, I knew that it had to be him." ”

"He lied to you?"

"Not really, it's just that his strength is not good, and his courage is almost there, and he can't finish what he promised at all, and I can't give him the book written by my master, so ...... I fled. ”

"Didn't you say no?"

Mark sighed, "Don't pretend, you're using my master's dreams to seduce me, isn't it also for that book?" ”

Zheng Yu didn't pretend anymore, "I really need it, and it should be more urgent than the person who grabbed you in the free city, after all, if such an important thing is really gone, you can't still have the motivation to live." ”

Mark looked at Zheng Yu, "Do you know who that person is?" ”

"Tell me about it."

Zheng Yu also wanted to refer to the strength of the other party.

Mark said, "It's the vice-lord of Free City. ”

"Oh."

Zheng Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Mission goal, there is!

Zheng Yu boldly guessed that the deputy city lord of this free city was most likely an important person in activating the second special mission.

Seeing Zheng Yu, who heard the identity of the "deputy city lord", he could still laugh, and Mark felt that he had really met a madman.

But...... Isn't that great?

In this world, I'm afraid only a madman would do these things.

"By the way, you just said two forbidden laws, so what is the third forbidden law?" After Zheng Yu set his goal, he pulled back the topic that Mark had not finished talking about before.

Mark stared at Zheng Yu, "Third Forbidden Law ......"

"Once you find a creature that does not belong to this world, you must report it to the empire as soon as possible, and if you hide it and don't report it, it will be regarded as cover-up."

"Death ......"

In fact, this prohibition has always been regarded as a dispensable joke, after all...... How could there be people from other worlds. ”

"The three forbidden laws have become the second forbidden laws."

"Until...... I met you. ”

"Tsk."
