"...In other words, the so-called Solar Kingdom no longer exists."
The low voices of conversation then started to ring out in the old conference hall for a period of time, and continued until Duan Qing and others stopped introducing.
Like a machine with its lights extinguished, it took a while before he uttered his first exclamation under the electronically synthesized voice: "Has even the Roderick dynasty ceased to exist?"
"That's right, the entire dynasty and civilization on the Wind Continent seems to have perished." Observing the other party's reaction, Duan Qing, who carefully sat on the stone bench, then hurriedly nodded his head: "It seems that on the continent now
No country can be found, and no similar traces of civilization have survived. Only the so-called tribes are left active in the vast prairie."
"Tribe." Repeated the term, the magical creature who called himself Kyle II finally turned his square head in the direction of Duan Qing: "It is the kind of tribe that you introduced before that relies on horses, cattle and sheep.
Is it the collective name of those human beings who gather together to survive as biological creatures?"
"Well, there seems to be nothing wrong with this description." An awkward smile appeared on his face, and Duan Qing then shifted his gaze to the tops of several people's heads: "We followed one of the tribes to get here.
They are in the process of migrating, and such migrating tribes are also very common in the Continent of Wind."
"In addition to looking for a suitable place to graze, most of them are also representatives of losers."
As he said these words, a wry smile appeared on his face for a moment. The emotional changes unique to humans seemed to have attracted the attention of the huge magical creature in front of him, and his electrons, which had lost their ups and downs, were
The voice became excited again: "I have no intention of prying into your privacy, visitor, nor do I have any intention to inquire about the origins of you and your tribe."
"No, no, no, we don't mind at all." Waving his hands forward, Xueling Huanbing on the side also showed a friendly smile: "It would be better to say that we are more curious about this matter now. For example, we
The history and origins of the Sioux tribe, and what they have experienced before..."
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of the name Sioux." The circle representing the eye reflected on the square head came to the white-haired woman with a rotating sizzling sound. Kyle II's answer
The voice came from nowhere: "There are also the Nashi tribe and Nake tribe you mentioned before... I don't have the corresponding information."
"Have you never been out? In...such a long time?" His eyes stayed on the dark magic creation covered with magic lines for a moment, and Duan Qing continued to ask tentatively: "You have been living in this underground area.
Inside the ruins?"
"Perhaps this place has become a ruins, but to me, the living conditions here have not changed much." Kyle II nodded his head, and the voice of Kyle II's answer was completely restored to what a human should be.
Feeling: "Our magic weapons don't need water or food, and the energy here is also very abundant. Now that all the functions of the laboratory have not disappeared, I naturally have no reason to leave here without authorization."
"That is to say, this laboratory is still operating normally, right?" Looking into the dark depths outside the reception room, Xueling Huanbing also asked in a low voice: "It's still operating here.
What are you wearing?"
"The experimental area and the third power area are currently operating stably, and the operation of other areas also meets the basic supply requirements." The voice became a little more high-spirited, and Kyle II's outstretched arms seemed to have a sense of confidence: "Of course
, the survival requirements I refer to may be different from the survival requirements you understand, so I do not recommend that you carry out activities in these areas, otherwise your life safety may be threatened."
"Thank you for your reminder and suggestion, we will abide by it." Duan Qing nodded with a smile on his face: "Even if we go, we will take you as our guide - well, you won't mind, right?"
"Of course not. Serving visitors is one of the missions we have been given." The tall body began to move towards the outside of the reception room. Kyle II answered in an electronically synthesized voice: "As long as it does not conflict with other higher-level people.
It’s okay if the agreement conflicts.”
"Uh, hahahaha." Duan Qing laughed involuntarily, scratched his head and stood up, and then followed the other person's footsteps: "Then, let's keep going, I guess we still have a long way to go.
There’s a way to go, right?”
"Wait, wait a minute." The next person who called out to the two figures was the shout from Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the hesitation on her face who also stood up: "Is this what happened before?
Is it over? You have no more questions?"
"What are you referring to? A beautiful human woman?" Square's head turned around again, and the tall magic creature's answering voice seemed as calm and indifferent as ever: "If you have any more questions -"
"You, don't you feel sad knowing that you have been abandoned here for thousands of years?"
Rushing to interrupt the other party's words, Xue Ling Huan Bing looked straight at the tall and dark figure: "You...don't you feel lonely?"
"Sad? Lonely? That's an emotion that only humans should have." Electrical oscillations echoed around the body along with the hum of magic flow, and the answer belonging to Kyle II followed soon after, as did Duan Qing and Xue Linghuan.
Bing said in front of the two people: "As the prototype of the Keskaya II, I don't need these unnecessary emotions."
"Really? But when we look at your conversation and expression, you really look like a human being." Duan Qing, who was standing next to it, then lowered his head and touched his nose: "The conversation also sounded very rich.
Looks like..."
"That's the product of simulation." He said this calmly again, and Kyle II then moved his body forward again: "When dealing with first-level life forms, we must use this method of communication.
This is one of the protocols and rules established by the Creators who made us.”
"In the past time, the function I was given has also aroused resentment among some humans." It said this, and the footsteps disappeared into the dim light outside the door of the reception room as it turned around.
Department: "If you also feel this way, please allow me to express my apology first."
"No, that's not why we--forget it."
The voice that reached out to call out to the other party finally stopped in place. Duan Qing, who gave up the persuasion, then turned to look at Xue Ling Huan Bing's silent body: "Don't think too much, just treat it as a
As part of the game's setting, this kind of story doesn't sound so sad, does it?"
"I, I'm not sad." After throwing away the other party's hand, Xue Ling Huan Bing curled her lips as if nothing had happened: "I was just a little surprised by the other party's reaction - until this moment, I
Only then did I feel like this robot was really a robot.”
"It's a pity that we didn't ask for more useful information." Duan Qing nodded, and then followed the other party with Xueling Huanbing: "The history we asked about this guy is probably about the same.
There is only relevant history thousands of years ago when the Roderic dynasty still existed. Although I know some of that history, it may not coincide with what it knows."
"The most important thing is about this ruins." He no longer looked back, and his lowered gaze was buried in the open adventurer map: "It seems that I want to leave here safely——"
"The first thing we need to figure out is the purpose of this underground laboratory."
***************************
"This is the side passage leading to the No. 1 power furnace. The furnace body in front has been out of order for a long time. The leaked energy has been affecting the temperature around this road. Even I rarely pass by this place."
"On the other side is the freezer, which was once used to store food and magic reagents. However, it has not been used for a long time. These materials have lost their original function - if you humans describe it, it seems to be called 'expired'
'?"
"The upward passage has been destroyed due to collapse. I have tried to repair it in the past period of time. However, the only function I carry is combat. I am really lacking in engineering and construction, so - ah, please don't come close.
There, those metal brackets are now not very stable and can't bear too much weight."
"The teleportation magic circle you want to use is below here. Cross this bridge and then go around the stairs there, and you should be there, but -"
The dim space was shrouded in light that swept across the area from time to time, illuminating the tall magical creature at the front and the figures of the two adventurers who looked much thinner behind it. Time and time again, the advancing creature was illuminated.
From time to time during the process, black skeletons that troubled Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing suddenly appeared, but they were quickly cut into flying bone fragments by the indestructible mechanical arm of Kyle II in front of them. Walking on the road leading to
Between the roads deeper in the ruins, the magic machine responsible for opening the road kept echoing its voice of explanation in the endless dark space. It stopped from time to time and then very seriously spoke to Duan Qing who was following behind.
Xue Ling Huan Bing and Xue Ling Huan Bing explained the purpose of each area they passed until they reached two metal pillars standing in front of a bottomless abyss before they gradually stopped: "This bridge is now inoperable.
It’s started.”
"Activate?" Its words aroused Duan Qing's question as expected, but facing the pair of mechanical arms that demonstrated the power of his "magic weapon" time and time again, the gray-robed magician also subconsciously turned back.
He opened a little distance: "How does it start? There is obviously not even a bridge here."
"It is not the material bridge that you humans are familiar with, but one of the magic bridges." Stopping in front of the cliff, Kyle II turned around and looked in the direction of Duan Qing and the two men: "In
Before this place entered the energy-saving state, such a bridge was a representative of the most advanced magic light energy application technology. The engineers of the Moebius family once applied a large amount of light energy technology to every corner. This bridge alone has
Thirty-two of them."
"Although advanced magic technology represents higher magic capabilities and more convenient magic needs, it will definitely pay a corresponding price and produce irreversible defects." It was Duan who said this.
Qing: "I guess this kind of magic bridge must consume a lot of magic energy, so now that there is a shortage of energy, it can no longer be started, right?"
"Your idea is very insightful, visitor." Kyle II nodded affirmatively. Turning around, Kyle II once again gathered the metallic cold light shining between his arms: "Even in Rhodes
At this time, you are also very hopeful to become a magician."
"Don't praise him so much, he will fly into the sky." With a disdainful expression, Xueling Huanbing on the side then waved his arms and pointed forward: "And didn't you just say that the energy in this place is not bad?
Is it abundant? Why is there no energy when we get here?"
"The energy in this area is mainly responsible for the No. 1 power furnace, and the current situation of that power furnace, you two have just seen." As if simulating the feeling of helplessness, the tall magical creature spread its hands.
: "At present, I have optimized the energy supply in the entire experimental area, and most areas have adopted the same energy-saving mode. When not in use, most magic circuits will go into sleep until the user wakes them up again.
It will work.”
"That's what you did when you lit up the reception room earlier, right?" Duan Qing scratched his cheek, and then put on a puzzled expression: "The light bridge in front of me is also
Same?"
"Yes, but there is another problem here." Pointing to the roots of the two metal pillars in front of him, Kyle II once again heard the electronic ticking sound: "Even if you want to
Even if the loop sequence is restarted, the bridge will not start because its underlying loop is damaged."
"During the previous process of clearing threats, I accidentally injured part of them."
The sound of rotation then sounded in front of this mechanical figure, accompanied by the bright light emitted by unknown magic circuits all around and connected to Kyle II, rising along with this light.
The metal pillars then slowly unfolded with a heavy friction sound, revealing the exposed internal structure and an obvious trace of metal cutting across it in front of Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing.
