"Is it okay to leave the parachute there?" Bediwell asked: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by the camera?"
"That's an automatic sensing device, and they only stare at the sky." Baroness of the Mysteries (Sherry Chad) replied: "Don't worry, they don't have so many human resources to monitor this treasure house all the time. Everything can only be done
Leave it to an intelligent system. And the system is actually not that intelligent."
Intelligent systems are not intelligent, which sounds ironic.
[South Africa's Holy People's Republic] is a country with a high degree of automation. The level of automation is even second to none in the world, which is comparable to its own wealth (of course, the reason why this country is rich is by plundering the property of the Solis Kingdom).
Bediwell had already seen how advanced South Africa's automation system is in the capital of South Africa, Bretonia.
There is no need to use cash for daily consumption. It is completely done by scanning the QR code with your mobile phone and the virtual currency stored in the bank will be directly deducted. There are almost no sanitation workers on the streets and alleys. Golems, drones, and automated equipment are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the city appearance.
; Even when applying for visas, ID cards and other documents, there are no waiters at all. It is all a mechanical operation. Submitting electronic forms online, taking photos, verifying, and issuing documents are all done in one go.
It stands to reason that South Africa is a paradise-like country, and the people there should be extremely wealthy and happy. However, in fact, it is not. This country is highly automated. After the elimination of cash currency, the poor people at the bottom, and even those without official nationality,
They were all driven out to the point where it was almost impossible to live. After machines replaced human jobs, there were even more unemployed people, and there were countless middle- and lower-class people who were completely driven out of their social status.
As the slums were forcibly dismantled, poor people and homeless people were driven into the sewers and lived like sewer rats in the famous "swamp neighborhood". People lost the dignity they deserve as human beings, and even the citizens'
Their identities have been stripped away.
...that country turned its back on its own people.
What's more, the Holy People's Republic of South Africa still advocates "human supremacy". In this country, orcs and other non-human races have no place at all.
Bediville, who has only been to the Bog District once, has already seen clearly the nature of the Republic of South Africa: after all, it is just gold and jade on the outside, but ruins on the inside.
The complete abandonment of human operations and the use of so-called intelligent systems to manage this national treasure house fully demonstrates the ignorance of the Republic of South Africa. They are about to pay the price for their self-righteousness.
"Found it." Hiloma checked the notch on a big tree nearby: "It's right here."
"The entrance is the same as before, and it hasn't even been changed..." Sherrichard clenched his fists: "Are those idiots so conceited that they think it's impossible for us to attack back?"
She walked to the tree trunk, reached into a tree hole, and pressed a hidden button. The ground beside the tree suddenly opened, and the cover moved slowly, finally opening a passage to the ground.
"We are very lucky." The Snow Lion girl said: "It is possible that we can get all the treasures in the South African National Treasure House without fighting."
Bedivere didn't hold out much hope. He was not as optimistic as Sherrich. Seeing that everyone refused to leave, he took the ax and walked in front to clear the way, and carefully walked down the stairs.
The stairs leading to the underground treasure house are winding and have a musty smell. Maybe no one has used them for several years. Maybe it was shortly after the fall of the Kingdom of Solis when South Africa transferred part of its national treasures.
, this place has always been closed and no one has ever set foot.
The huge iron door of the treasure house is closed tightly. Naturally, this treasure house is guarded, and it is impossible to enter it so easily.
"That's it?" Bedivere couldn't help but ask: "Is this your plan to let me destroy this iron gate?"
"Yes, the Barbarian King Gao Li." Sherrichard said half-jokingly: "Use your invincible brute strength to think of a solution."
The werewolf youth frowned, "Are you sure this thing won't sound an alarm when I smash it? Don't you have a better choice?"
"Then we may need to prepare to fight, or... prepare to surrender?" Sherrichard said with a smile.
She was indeed entertaining Bediwell.
Kana stepped forward at this time: "Stop making fun of Mr. Gao Li, the Barbarian King, and get down to business first."
She walked to the door, found a hidden electronic lock at the door, and put her face against it. There was a beep, and something was scanning Kana's pupils, and she passed the verification.
"You must be kidding me." Bedivere groaned: "You have even infiltrated into the South African government, Ka...[Phantom Detective]?"
"Yeah, there's nothing that [Phantom Detective] can't do." Kana said with a smile.
"Since you are a staff member here, wouldn't it be great if you brought us in openly from the beginning?"
"Oh, I'm not. The pupil verification that allowed me to pass belonged to an old officer who died more than ten years ago. I just, um, hacked into their system and swapped my pupil information with that of the old officer.
"Yes." Kana replied: "But God knows if there will be guards here, who can tell at a glance that I am not an old man of several decades? You still have to be cautious."
Therefore, Kana is the ace in this team. As long as she is with her, she can pass through the treasure house unimpeded. Bedivere and others are just Kanna's guards... and handymen.
With the sound of hinges and mechanisms turning, the door slowly opened. A deeper corridor leading to the treasure house appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh, of course..." Bedivere groaned: "There should be more doors, more mechanisms and guards ahead."
"There is another door, it's almost there." Sherrichard replied: "Don't forget that this is the treasure house of the former Kingdom of Solis. The king is not a vicious person and will not set so many deadly traps. At best, there are just too many.
Send some people to guard this place and make some doors that are harder to open and thicker."
She spoke as if she knew the old king of Solis very well.
"You still have to be vigilant. God knows what the South African government has transformed this place into over the years." Bediwell walked forward with a weapon and was responsible for opening the way.
He was right, the surrounding area had indeed been slightly modified. As he walked forward, several laser sensor traps appeared on the road in front of him. Red beams of light formed a blocked network, as if to warn intruders.
, don’t get close at will.
"Interesting," Kana whispered, "even though the general's pupils were used for verification, these laser traps were still triggered..."
"Maybe they scanned your pupils and found that the general died more than ten years ago. They felt something was wrong and launched countermeasures." Bediwell said: "I don't believe that the person who manages this place is completely
Machines, there must be at least one or two people supervising everything."
The people present did not speak, not sure whether they were against Bediville or in favor of Bediville.
The werewolf youth didn't say much, and carefully walked to the laser trap to check it out. Although the lasers were very densely distributed, they still left a gap for people to pass through. This kind of laser is not the kind of laser that can kill people.
The energy laser is just a sensor. It is estimated that when it touches the laser, something bad will be triggered... maybe an alarm bell will sound, maybe a turret will come out to attack people.
In short, as long as you are not swept by this laser, you will be fine. The two stationary lasers in the front are easy to avoid, but the four lasers in the rear that are constantly moving up, down, left and right are more difficult to avoid - for ordinary people. And Bediwell is not only
He is agile and can use [Time Magic], so there is no way to hide.
...The question is, can he hide from here, but where is the person behind him?
Sherrichard seems to be able to use the [A virtualization] ability, so he should be able to pass. It's hard to say for Kana and the tiger-man named Shiloma who are present.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" After Sherrichard said that, he rushed out first. The result was just as Bedivere imagined, the Snow Lion girl easily used [Vibration] to penetrate various laser traps,
After sprinting ten yards, it stopped at a place where there was no laser, and no alarm was triggered during the entire process.
Forget it. Not to be outdone, Bedivere quietly activated the [Acceleration Potion] on the silver bracelet on his right arm. Due to the effect of the stimulant, his thinking became extremely agile, and the laser in front of him seemed to be motionless.
——In other words, he is moving at an extremely slow speed. Bedivere's mind is not as fast as his body, but he can move at extremely high speeds. After learning [Wolf Step], he is even more agile than others. I saw
He tapped the ground with the sole of his foot, and immediately flew out, circling left and right between the laser fences, and easily dodged the stationary lasers. The moving lasers swept towards him, and the werewolf young man immediately leaned down.
body, sprinting in an extremely wonderful bowing posture that is almost impossible for ordinary people to do.
At this time, the soles of his feet and even his legs were basically not moving, he was just relying on the propulsion generated by [Wolf Step] to fly forward - more accurately, relying on the flesh pads on the soles of his feet and even his palms, using magic power
The generated propulsion is flying forward. From the perspective of others, Bediwell's palms and soles seem to be equipped with invisible jet devices. It is the invisible jet device that propels Bediwell to fly forward. But in fact
It was just the impact force transformed by magic power on the flesh pads of his palms and soles, and it could only be propelled when it came into contact with a certain plane.
Jumping forward about three yards, the laser trap in front formed an insurmountable mesh fence. Logically speaking, at Bediver's traveling speed, even if he stopped now, he would still hit the ground due to inertia.
On the laser fence, an alarm was triggered. However, Bedivere was still in the "acceleration" state, and his mind was spinning at an alarming speed. He had already noticed the sudden appearance of the fence.
He used [Wolf Step] again, and before hitting the fence, he tightly sucked the ground with the pads of his hands and feet, and made a sudden stop. He almost hit the fence, but just managed to stop.
, and at the same time, he used his hands and feet to jump up like a beast, and suddenly jumped to the ceiling of the passage. Because there was no laser trap in the way, Bediwell simply turned around, clung to the wall with his hands and feet, and clung to the wall.
He stayed on the ceiling and sprinted forward for several yards. He jumped down in front of the area where the lasers were sparsely distributed, moved twice more, and easily passed through the dense and complex network of laser traps.
"It's amazing." Sherrichard clapped his hands gently, "He is indeed a great hero [Barbarian King Gao Li] with superb athletic ability."
Bediwell gave the Snow Lion girl a white look: "Don't make trouble. We are here, what will they do?"
"Have you seen this?" Sherrichard walked to the side wall and pointed at a very inconspicuous device: "There should be another one over there. The two switches were pressed by two people in charge at the same time.
The laser trap will be turned off. This laser can only be turned off from the inside and can only be turned off by two people in charge. It is perfect for defending against intruders."
She said it as if she already knew the structure here. She must have investigated it thoroughly before. No wonder they need Bediwell as a tool. Sherrichard alone cannot open these mechanisms.
, maybe she alone can't get into the treasure room, there are more problems there that she can't deal with.
Bediwell didn't care about anything with Sherrichard, he just needed to get to the treasure room. Although he knew he was being used, this time he came to the National Treasure Room in South Africa, in addition to getting the prototype system of [Legion]
, also has other purposes.
He needs to find the [Vinland Map] and the Golem Master's life-long work [Perfect Core]. In addition, Vivian also mentioned that the Republic of South Africa has mastered the technology of the [Quantum Dockyard] - the corresponding information may be able to
Found it in this treasure room (but it was not a treasure after all, and Bedivere didn't have high expectations).
He didn't help the Sphinx Consortium without asking for anything in return, he just got what he needed. Maybe Sherichard also knew this, so he wasn't polite to Bedivere.
