Section 48 Trap

"Not from the Dwarves?" Ashrufat was stunned. "But ......"

"In the records of the dwarves, it is called the 'land of vanity' and it is forbidden for the people to enter it. ”

Eshurufat understood that it was Carrie who was stirring up his curiosity, but he had to admit that his curiosity was indeed aroused.

"Don't sell it, Carrie, what the hell is going on?"

"Remember our dark castle, master, if I'm not mistaken, it's the same thing here. ”

"A ...... Spaceship?" Ashruphat remembered the term. But let's be honest, this thing called a "spaceship" is really very different from a ship, more different than a lizard and a ghoul.

"According to the dwarven accounts, I think so. Carrie's voice was suddenly mixed with a bit of excitement. "Master, there must be some usable equipment left in the ship...... If we can bring it back ......."

"How do you bring it back?"

"There's always a way...... Anyway, hosts, I highly recommend that we find a way to check it out. ”

Actually, it's really not that difficult at all. The mission assigned to Eshuruphat was itself to explore for minerals, and it was too easy to find what Carrie called the "Land of Illusion". In fact, he didn't do anything, just followed the original course of action, and came here naturally.

This place is essentially a huge cave, dark and bottomless. In addition, there are no plants to be seen around the cave. Not to mention trees and small shrubs, even the most tenacious weeds that can tolerate the harshest conditions are nowhere to be found. There is only black gravel all around.

Nothing else, just looking at the surroundings makes people feel very uneasy.

Ashrufat was followed by a group of surveyors from the Society of Engineers. The dwarves observed this apparent anomaly and quickly recorded it.

Ashruphat walked into the cave, and then he found something on the ground. He picked it up and recognized it as a bone. There were more bones on the side, and at a glance it was recognizable as the remains of the Greenskins. In addition, there are some green-skinned rough weapons next to them.

It's not one or two, it's a bunch. At least a dozen greenskins had died here - judging by the way the bones were arranged, they were struggling to crawl out of the cavern, but they eventually collapsed a dozen paces from the cave entrance.

The other dwarves were quick to observe this. A younger engineer stepped up to the front to take a closer look, but one of his older colleagues held him back.

"Master, I'm afraid it's not safe here. I remember a vague account of a 'land of vanity' here. Another engineer suggested to Ashrufat. "I just know that this is a dangerous place, and it is strictly forbidden to enter. ”

"With so many people following, it's really not appropriate to go in directly, it's better to look around. Mind, Carrie suggested. "For the sake of safety, host, I suggest that we also have to be a little prepared. Carrie's voice paused. "That's it, yes, I feel a very strong radiation...... This is supposed to be the after-effects of damage to the ship's engines. I'm afraid that with the level of physical fitness of a green-skinned and dwarf, it is unbearable...... Not to mention the words of humans. ”

Ashrufat still remembers this "radiation" thing. At the excavation site of the church, I don't know how many unjust souls were buried in the road. However, he noticed that Carrie's voice was excited.

"Master, this level of energy leakage...... And it's still at this intensity after so long...... According to my calculations, the ship's engine is probably in a semi-damaged state. This means that the main part of the ship may be kept fairly intact!" said Carrie. "It's likely that the cargo inside the ship or the facilities inside the ship itself are relatively well maintained! we may be able to get a lot of equipment from it! ”

Ashrufaat's passion for "equipment" was nowhere near as great as Carrie's, but he also knew that these things from other worlds were good tools. Like the mysterious sinks, and the incredibly intricate chips that he was able to turn into a dwarf with those things.

"Weapons?"

"Well, it's not the sword in your hand or the armor on your body - this kind of weapon is too advanced to be used against the natives of the primordial realm. Carrie said. "But there may be something specific in this ship...... So, master, do you remember that dimensional energy attack we encountered during the defense of Drake City, the magic that directly tore off a large chunk of the city wall?"

Of course, Ashrufat would not forget that event. It was one of the few experiences he had closest to death.

"If there is equipment in the ship...... Then we can also launch that level of attack. Hehe, and it's not the type that can only be launched once, but you can launch it as you like! When the time comes, master, conquering the world or something, it depends on whether you like it or not! As long as we have that thing, our security problems can be solved once and for all! No one will threaten you again...... You can enjoy freedom and happiness from now on, and do whatever you want! You can even use the world as a chessboard, and you are a chess player on top of the chessboard!"

Although Ashrufat did not have any concept of conquering the world now, the excitement of Carrie's words involuntarily infected him.

"But for now...... Well...... We'd better stand at the back of the shift. Carrie's words shifted. "I remember the position and next time we'll be ready to come back. ”

As he spoke, he heard a mechanical sound. Then, a gyroscope helicopter landed on a nearby flat ground. To be on the safe side, Carrie has destroyed all of the modified communication rune stones, so now the scattered engineers rely on helicopters to deliver messages. Of course, when there is no communication mission, the helicopter also carries out the task of searching for the remaining green skins.

Ashrufat and his men met him and saw a pilot emerge from the helicopter.

"Master, Master Miklesco has asked me to inform you that there is an important meeting tonight. Please take my plane back. ”

......

"How's the dwarves?" said the gray cloak pushed the door open and walked into the surveillance room. Although he did not agree to be treated, he did agree to rest as much as possible, so during this time, the monitoring work had to be undertaken by Worchel.

"They are nice and are preparing for construction. Worchel glanced at his companion, "In addition, he has repeatedly launched small offences to wipe out the remaining greenskins...... Hey, we've done them a great favor. If it weren't for the white-handed boss who had gathered almost all of the remaining greenskins, it would have been years before the dwarves would have reoccupied the area. And now, I think they will be able to do it in a few months, and it will not affect their construction work at all. ”

He clearly saw his companion's face change, revealing a complex and hateful expression. But the expression wasn't directed at Warchell, it was directed at someone else.

"Okay, I think things should be about the same, and I've made a plan for my next move...... Well, why don't I go to the shipbuilding site first? After all, that's where we're going to be in the last battle...... I haven't been there yet. ”

"I'm enough for this alone. The gray cloak replied. "One more person is going to get in the way. Rest assured, I'm 100% sure of what to do with the Scarlet Duke. He chuckled for some reason, baring his teeth like a tiger or a jackal. "It's not the same as when we were a rags-to-riches, it's what we're good at. ”

Warchel spread his hands and made a "don't care" gesture.

"Well, if you're going to do it alone, you should have a plan for your next move. ”

"It's been there for a long time. The gray cloak replied. "Artificial intelligence will lure the Scarlet Duke into the ruins...... It will first carefully observe the environment, neutralize the threat, and search for the equipment it needs. If it doesn't find it, then there is no follow-up, but once it does...... Then, with no third party present, and all the equipment inside the ship under its control, it is undoubtedly the best place to do it. ”

"Of course, the AI doesn't know that a third party is actually present, and the equipment inside the spacecraft is not under its control...... Am I right? But you have to be prepared for the AI to choose what to do in the future. ”

"It's going to do it, I'm sure of that. Of course, I'm prepared just in case. The gray cloak had a joyful expression on his face, as if he had seen his victory. "Actually, I sincerely hope that there will be no such accidents. Because I really want to see ...... I want to see when he finds himself betrayed by the artificial intelligence he has always trusted and relied on...... The emoji ...... That kind of anger and reluctance...... Stand at the pinnacle of success, stand at the gates of heaven, and then be pulled into hell all at once...... It's really exciting. ”

Worchel waited until the gray cloak was finished.

"If it's a play, I think it can be one more twist and turn. First is the ecstasy of discovering the treasure, then the horror of being betrayed, then the surprise of meeting the savior who suddenly appears, and finally the despair when that savior becomes a killer. This is what makes it seem twisty and dramatic. Am I talking about that?"

"Hehe, you can really be a screenwriter...... It's really interesting. The gray cloak laughed, then fell silent. He was clearly considering Worchell's proposal.

"I was a man of letters...... Worchel replied. "At least until you get wanted. Not to mention this, since you plan to play the protagonist of the last scene yourself, then I will not take away the beauty. But the protagonist is an important task after all, you better go and take a break, tidy up your gear and emotions, and I'll keep an eye on them, and I'll let you know when the time comes. ”

The suggestion was accepted by the Grey Cloak, and he got up to leave. And Warcher refocused his attention on those screens.

"Hey, if the satellite's anti-jamming high-speed communication device was still there, it wouldn't have to be so hard. He whispered to himself. "It's a pity that such a good thing is broken for Yilan. "Ylang Ylang reported that it was at the end of its useful life - of course, it was essentially the same thing, but if Ylang Ylang could use it sparingly, it should be able to delay it for a little longer.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and when he mentioned the name Yilan, he was suddenly stunned for a moment. This was because he remembered the aberration of his companion. The gray cloak was not like this in the past.

"You're all responsible, Ylan. It doesn't matter if you die, you stole other people's hearts. I can only hope that everything goes well and that poor guy gets back to normal soon. ”

As for the action plan, he was not worried at all. Because he knows that artificial intelligence does not have the kind of feelings of normal intelligent creatures, it will only act according to reason and ambition - when it is time to stab in the back, intelligent creatures may be hindered by feelings, but artificial intelligence will never hesitate.
