v3 Chapter 46: Mechanical Codex

Yes, they speak the Ruen language, so amazing!

Abner spit out a boring sentence in his heart, not believing a word of what this seemingly "simple and honest" black mecha man said.

In fact, when he first entered "Morning Star City", he discovered the language problems of the city's residents.

In general, most of the residents in the middle and lower levels of the mountain speak Old Feysac or Hermes, and the "Mechanical Emperor" apparently also popularized these two languages.

The more mature and complex "Luen language" is only known to those who live near the Genting platform and the tower... that is the "Morning Star Yayan" that the black mecha man just said.

In addition, this language is now a status symbol. If you want to settle in Genting District, in addition to a certain level of merit, enough energy points, and a specified area of ​​real estate, "Morning Star Yayan" is also an important assessment item, which must be After passing the level 4 of the language proficiency test, you are eligible to become a resident of Genting District and enjoy a series of additional benefits.

Such regulations were introduced one after another in the 100 years after the fall of Morningstar. At first, they also had the purpose of stimulating demand and revitalizing the atmosphere in the city... But gradually they became synonymous with the status of "superior people"...

Now the middle and lower classes want to learn "Yeah", they need to pay a lot of price.

The aforementioned Lazar, the reason why he can live in the Genting area due to poor economic conditions is because he has lived long enough to master certain mechanical skills and also understands "Yeah". He really lacks energy points. I will hold small classes in private...

——Not all people who have undergone mechanical transformation can live for as long as two hundred years. Just by looking at Lazar’s left foot in Genting District, he has no money to replace his broken left foot. Worse, once vital parts are damaged, death is unavoidable.

Today, only 30% of the 10,000 residents in "Morning Star City" have experienced the glorious era before "Morning Star Falls", but it is strange that even newborns still have a strong attachment to the "Mechanical Emperor" when they grow up. deep faith.

This may have something to do with education, but there may also be some deeper reasons.

"The previous life of the 'Mechanical Emperor' was Dennett. Even if he did not teach Dutan in the Southern Continent, he should have defined Fenebot or Lumburg as the so-called 'Yayan'? Why did he choose Lulu? Grace?

"Of course, between Dennett and 'Mechanical Emperor' Evans, there may be many times that kind of life that didn't last long and did not leave any traces... Could it be that there are more Loen people here, so he... No, it's 'I' who are so impressed with the language?"

While thinking wildly, Abner turned his attention to the statue of the "Mechanical Emperor" again.

As I said before, Abner didn't believe the so-called "Yayan" rhetoric of the black mecha man Olmos. If he trusted himself because of this, the other party would not be so vigilant at first.

What changed his attitude was probably the "saluting" action, and the yellow stone on top of the statue's head that was fused with Beyonder characteristics.

But these intelligences were not recorded in the "information" extracted from the residents' "database" before...

They didn't know anything about "saluting", but after the "statue" made that action, they instinctively "saluted" back! This is not normal!

After observing quietly, Abner had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

As for the yellow stone with characteristics, it is also very strange. The spiritual residue on it does not come from Beyonder characteristics, but the stone itself... It seems that the stone is the "corpse" body of the "Mechanical Emperor".

"I don't know if Alvin or the 'God of Luck' will be cremated, will there be such a thing... What is it? Is it a relic?"

After muttering a few words in his heart, Abner then manipulated the "statue" to put himself back on the ground. He didn't answer the black armored man's words about "Ya Yan", and said instead:

"I was ordered to come to the 'Morning Star City' this time. In addition to bringing my lord's order, I was also investigating you..."

Having said that, he deliberately looked around at the people who ended the "salutation", and continued, "I am gratified that you have not forgotten the glory of the Lord."

Although Abner didn't know what the "saluting" action meant, he could guess from the changes in the attitudes of the three committee members that it might be a "password"... What's more, in his words, he only said that everyone has not forgotten" The glory of the "Mechanical Emperor" does not directly link the two, and even if there is a deviation, it can be explained by other reasons.

Hearing this, Annick in the shape of "Robocop" immediately said: "'Morning Star City' will always believe in the 'Mechanical Emperor', and all infidels have been eliminated in the Battle of the Fallen."

After expressing his stance, he changed the subject and asked again, "I don't know what order the emperor has for you to convey to us?"

Abner smiled and glanced in the direction of the tower, but did not speak. As for the meaning, let the other party understand.

After all, what order did he have? He came here completely to find out what his previous life had arranged. If the protection system of the central tower was too advanced, it was impossible to sneak in, why would he need to pretend to be a ghost in public?

Seeing this, the three members of the top panel once again communicated with the built-in encrypted shortwave.

"Olmos, what do you think? Are the words of this envoy believable?" Annick Sprint asked first.

Although Olmos' black mecha looks the most powerful, people subconsciously think that he is responsible for combat power, but in fact, he is the wisest person in the entire "Morning Star City".

"You've already called him the 'Envoy of God', why are you still asking my opinion?" Olmos' shortwave sound was much more vivid than the external electronic sound, and even made the other two hear a wry smile. "What's more, he can actually influence the statue of the 'Mechanical Emperor' and issue a spiritual broadcast!

"You should know that after the fall of the Great Emperor... no, it should be after returning to the throne, the spiritual broadcast only sounded once... that is, when the 'morning star fell'... After that, we inexplicably entered this nightmare afternoon town. "

Eleanor's clone, who looked like a little girl, followed: "Yes, I am afraid that only the three of us still remember the scene of 'Morning Star Falls'... and the 'mind broadcast' that sounded when the city fell apart.

"According to the divine envoy, it is likely that the Great Emperor, who has returned to the throne of God, sensed our crisis, so he saved us and his believers... You two should know very well that although we destroyed the four of the 'true creator' at that time There is a church, but there are still many people in the city who believe in that evil god, but they have not been able to enter this peculiar town, and have not been able to enter this still intact dream 'Morning Star'... It is very likely that they have long since followed. With the crashed Morning Star City, they died together more than 200 years ago.

"So, my point of view is that 'Spiritual Broadcasting' will not deceive people. Since the Great Emperor clearly wants us to obey the orders of this divine envoy, we don't need to question it."

Annick Sprint pondered for a few seconds, and asked again on shortwave: "Will the 'mind broadcast' be a trigger effect after the statue performs the 'Supreme Glory Etiquette' action?

"Although very few people know about this etiquette, among those who have experienced the era of the emperor's rule, maybe someone still remembers..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Eleanor: "Not to mention that the people in the city will not betray the emperor at all, and tell outsiders important information... Even if the envoy used special means to obtain this information, but How could he know that the 'highest honor' is the condition for the 'Great Emperor Statue' to release the 'Spiritual Broadcast'?

"This is a secret that even the three of us don't know!

"What's more, apart from the divine envoy, who of you can drive the armored statue left by the emperor? And we all know that the indelible spirit of the emperor is still left in the yellow gem. We have long guessed that the old man did not have it. really fallen.

"And now the appearance of Lord God Envoy just confirms this."

Her words apparently persuaded Annick, who nodded indistinctly. After all, the statue of the Great Emperor has only been activated once in the past two hundred years, or because a monster came in when the "Night Barrier" was closed... Its activation is also the automatic defense of the floating city, not driven by the three of them.

In fact, Annick didn't really doubt Abner's identity, he just listed all the possibilities out of prudence.

"Since that's the case, let's vote... Do you want to trust him and bring him into the central tower? It can be seen that the mission target of Lord God's Envoy is likely to be in the tower! Well, I vote for it." Annick said calmly.

"I agree too... You should have noticed that Lord God Envoy still holds the "Mechanical Holy Code"... This Lord Abner's mission is probably related to it.

"And the 'Morning Star City' really needs the return of the "Mechanical Codex"," the black mecha man Olmos also voted in favor.

The fact that they need the "Mechanical Canon" is not because the ordinary residents of Lazar need the potion formula in it. After all, as a demigod, they all remember the formula, and they do not need the "Mechanical Canon" to provide it.

"Morning Star City" has not been born new "Alchemists" in the past two hundred years, not because there is no formula, but because it does not have the ritual conditions to extract the "life force" of an area required for promotion.

After all, the Nightmare Afternoon Town had no vitality at all.

"Of course I agree! Maybe... Maybe the mission of the envoy is to bring us to a bright world." Eleanor chose to agree without hesitation.

The bright world... The two men were also lost for a second, and then Olmos and Eleanor led Abner to enter the identity information and enter the tower;

And Annick stayed temporarily to appease the gathered crowd ~lightnovelpub.net~ and fix their voice and listening devices.

...

On the other side, as soon as Abner walked into the tower accompanied by two "alchemists", he saw a very high altar in the center of the first floor, but the top of the altar seemed to be missing a piece. , forming a groove whose missing shape is exactly the same as the "gear book" in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Abner recalled that Klein's introduction to the imitation of the "floating city" in the underground space of Nas also focused on describing such an altar.

Does the "Beacon of Destiny" attach importance to it? Abner's heart suddenly moved, and there was some speculation.

Then, after greeting the two "Alchemists", he jumped into the air and put the "Gear Book" into the corresponding groove of the altar.
