Returning from the abyss

Chapter 611
Vera's Institute, Time Disaster Research, Dacapo.

It is almost a matter of course to link these keywords together. The problem dealt with by Dacapo, the rotary train, has clearly appeared in the illusion experienced by Jean and others. This almost shows that Vera and her research project are The predecessor of Dacapo.

"So... those nobles..." Zhu Qinyuan touched the identity card, "Actually, it has something to do with all the things we are doing? Is it to explore the ruins?"

"It's hard to say, but I tend to be related. After all, there are always some internal connections when arranging tasks in the distribution center. Whether to use them or not is another matter." Lian Bisheng leaned on the sofa with a gloomy expression, "Vera This is undoubtedly the most important character, and all events are actually recounted around her, and the king...he only plays a role as a narrator here."

"But this is not complete." Lu Ning said, "What we have learned is some fragments of Vera's experience here. Obviously, her life is not limited to such a short period of time, from being called into the capital by the king to finally committing suicide. There is still an undetermined amount of time."

"You think this is an important clue?" Jean asked.

"No, this clue may not be that important. But it should explain what kind of relationship Vera and Dacapo have. This is a means for us to understand the king from the side. In the same way... I think all seven nobles have Such a past."

"I have no objection in this regard." Lian Bisheng said.

"We will discuss the rest when we have a chance." Lu Ning exchanged glances with the others, "Now, Yuan Jie, do you want to try to get a treasure too? Everyone seems to have only one treasure so far. , maybe one person cannot use two treasures at the same time, we have to confirm this carefully."

"Ah... But according to what you discussed just now, both the research department and the processing department are very dangerous, right?" Yuan Jie scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "To be honest, I'm not confident. What if there is something there? I have to deal with the particularly difficult treasure alone, and it is really difficult to guarantee that I can get out of it unscathed."

"If you don't absolutely need it, we don't force it. After all, from the current point of view, the corresponding level of treasure should be the level of sight distance of [-] meters to a distance of [-] meters. Compared with the most important large-scale events, it is still not enough. This treasure cannot change our weakness." Lu Ning said.

Yan Rong nodded: "Yes, this is the most important question. In addition to wealth, the improvement of our own strength is also very important. At least... I think I must have the strength of a foreign affairs officer to ensure that I can enter the inner city in the future. Safety."

"How long will it take?" Yuan Jie's mouth twitched.

"As long as you have money." Yan Rong raised the corner of his mouth, "The outer city provides a variety of strengthening methods. I don't need to improve my skills, but I need basic quality, which makes the problem very easy."

"But this only applies to you, we have to think of other ways." Lu Ning shook her head, "We need to prepare more comprehensive means for ourselves."

"For example..." Jean thought for a while, and said, "We can move some things from the distribution center here... This is the biggest advantage of the chaotic scene, isn't it?"

"Yes." Yan Rong nodded in affirmation.

In the chaotic scene, no matter what kind of power is available, it is not surprising no matter what kind of weapons and equipment appear.

When the group returned from Vera's research institute, it was already midnight, but the area near the camp on the wasteland had been cleaned up, and there were no butchers wandering in the wild, only some butchers hiding in fixed places wanted to Clean up slowly.

When the six of them returned to the camp, they happened to meet Yong Erlang. This big, naive man greeted everyone immediately: "I haven't seen you all day, did you go out to play on vacation?"

"Almost." Lu Ning followed his words.

"Oh, then you really missed an interesting thing." Yong Erlang approached with a mysterious face.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the camps are really joining forces?" Lian Bisheng yawned.

Yong Erlang froze for a moment: "It's almost the same."

Everyone regained their spirits immediately, staring at Yong Erlang: "Go on!"

"Ah... the leaders of the camp have communicated with each other a lot in the past two days, and they are all preparing to meet in two days, the black engraving meeting! It is probably the biggest meeting in the wasteland in the past few years."

"How many camps?" Jean asked himself the most concerned question.

"Let me think about it..." Yong Erlang counted with his fingers, "Our anvil, plus porphyry, firefly, keel, fire nitrate, and breakpoint, is six, yes, a total of six."

The six camps are already quite a few compared to this area.After all, the wasteland is huge, and the distance between camps is usually very far. No one knows how many camps are distributed in the wasteland.And this meeting probably gathered all the famous people nearby.

"We haven't participated in the black engraving meeting... Is there something about us?" Yan Rong thought of a key question.

"Of course there is. The rule of the Heike meeting is that all camp Heikes have the right to be the audience, and the audience has some voting rights. Of course, important decisions should be made through discussion among the leaders." Yong Erlang responded to this matter. It's quite familiar, "After all, every black engraved meeting discusses major issues related to the nearby black engraved groups. It is estimated that there will be quite a few people present."

"Then we have to go and have a look."

"Hey, that's right! You're new here, so it's good to have a lot of experience!" Yong Erlang grinned, "This time the scale is really not small, you are lucky!"

Jean went up with a smile and continued to chat with Yong Erlang about the meeting-related matters, and took him aside without a trace.Lu Ning lamented that Yong Erlang was afraid that he would be asked to tell all the stories, and walked back to her tent.

The Hei Ke meeting was not unexpected. Although she didn't know such a name before, a similar negotiation meeting will definitely be held. Now it seems that the situation is more urgent, and the time is actually rushed.

For things she doesn't understand, she has always been open to tricks, but now the things about the outer city, the nobles and the inner city are more interesting, and maybe the mysterious "legion" will be added.Lu Ning suddenly pulled out all the incidents in the institute from yesterday, and began to play back various details.

There is actually another evidence for the relationship between Dacapo and Vera. This evidence may be a bit far-fetched, but Lu Ning thinks there is some possibility, and that is color.

So far she has seen three foreign officials who truly represent the nobles. Eyesight is a dark purple tuxedo, Sacrifice is a reddish-brown dress, and Samurai is a black martial arts uniform. If the nobles really have uniform uniforms, then Color should also be a feature that represents aristocratic status.From the memory, the clothes on Vera have a clear green tone, and there are many plants in her room. These are normal at first—but when I contacted the ticket booth and the The conductor's clothes may also be a hint.

"If you put it this way... Leslie's clothes seem to be blue, which of the seven nobles is blue?" Lu Ning thought about it, but she didn't have any impression.That was easy, she left the tent, found a member of the patrol team, and asked the question bluntly.

"Aristocrats who represent the color blue? You mean attire? Alarm."

"Isn't Alarm a red alarm bell?" Lu Ning was a little confused.

"The incident they are in charge of is the red alarm bell, and it doesn't mean that they are wearing red. Alarm's foreign affairs officers are all dressed in blue priestly uniforms."

...Well, it also corresponds.

In other words, Leslie is also an important person, probably related to Alarm. If you think about it this way, the purpose of the nobles to collect treasures seems to be a little clearer.After all, in the two treasure experiences, Lu Ning clearly saw Leslie's aging and disappearance, and Vera's death confirmed by the king himself.

But even if she knew this, she couldn't say it for the time being. Lu Ning didn't forget that Eyesight watched everything. If the treasure on her body couldn't cover up her actions, it might not be a good end if this kind of secret was discovered.

Two days later, the black engraving meeting was held as scheduled.

Four elite teams cleaned a castle, and the butchers and goblins inside were quickly wiped out, and then tidied up and used as the venue for this meeting.When Lu Ning arrived, there were already many people standing outside the castle.The relationship between the camps was a little tense, but on this occasion, the black quarters could communicate well. It was related to everyone's direction in the future, and many people had cautious or serious expressions on their faces.

Lu Ning also saw the people from the porphyry camp. The six tourists who had seen before had already put on the cloaks of the porphyry camp, but there were no other people from the porphyry camp around them, and they seemed to have come here alone.

Since they met each other in the martial arts field before, Lu Ning walked over without hiding it.A few people over there quickly spotted her, and the swordsman who used the purple knife before stood up.

"Hello." The other party said politely, "Excuse me..."

"Ah, because I'm here to attend the black engraving meeting, so I also take this opportunity to meet a few people." Lu Ning is already familiar with this kind of acting in public. As long as you have a good reason, no one will carefully think about whether there is any abruptness in it. So it's a scene.

"Live long with a surname, live plainly for a long time."

"My surname is Lu, Lu Ning. Nice to meet you. If I read correctly, you are from the porphyry camp?"

"Indeed, I just joined recently." Kuzu Hirama also looked very happy, "We also want to get to know the people in other camps, come and chat if possible?"

This topic is so natural.

Lu Ning walked over, and some of the people in this group looked indifferent, and some looked far away, and they didn't look like they were really warmly welcoming. In comparison, Jiuzhu Pingzhen was the most enthusiastic one.

During the pretentious "communication", Lu Ning knew that her previous guess was also correct.This group of tourists did not give priority to joining the camp, but did tasks step by step, and their ignorance of the world was made up by robbing bonfires... According to Kuzumi Hirayama, they tried to communicate first, and then fought when they could not communicate.However, based on the fact that the bonfires here have a certain xenophobia, the final result is that most of them fight.

In this way, they managed to find two relics, which was on par with Lu Ning and others in terms of exploration efficiency.

In exchange, Lu Ning told some about the exploration of the ruins, and also learned what happened to the two ruins they found.A relic is an ancient tomb. This is probably the most resembling a relic that Lu Ning has heard. There are a lot of bones in the tomb, some people have wild animals, and even some remains of unknown creatures. The relic itself is not dangerous. There are no secret passages designed between the tombs, but the problem is that they can't find anyone who is actually buried here. After all, those things are buried with them. They searched for a long time and found a name of "Isabel". Whether it is the name of the owner of the tomb or the name of the builder is unclear.

Another relic is a small town.Kuzumi said that all the people living here are starving ghosts. Even after death, they maintain a strong appetite. The danger is much higher. These ghosts have been repeating the habit of eating each other, including the people who came in. list.The six people hid in XZ for a long time before they were able to escape, but they also investigated some things, and got a gun there, which is now held by one of the team members.Judging from the information I saw when I got the gun, the original owner's name was "Wu Nuo".

Of course, Jiuzhu Hirayama also spoke vaguely about how to explore and harvest. Lu Ning naturally knew that this was something related to treasures. Since the other party didn't intend to tell it, she didn't ask, and just remembered the two names.

At this time, a team of well-equipped black engravers walked out of the gate of the castle. They stood on both sides of the door. This signal also indicated that the meeting was about to start, and the black engravers could go in.

People lined up in a long line silently and entered in an orderly manner. Inside the castle was a spacious hall with a long table on the stairs. Six leaders sat behind the table, and the stairs went up to the fence on the second floor where the remaining Leaders and important captains, these important figures in each camp have different shapes. In the black engraving, these unique shapes also mean strength.

The leaders waited patiently for all the black engravings to enter the arena, the gates of the castle were closed, and the restlessness of the crowd slowly subsided, then they formally looked at each other and started the meeting.

"This black engraved meeting is mainly to discuss the issue of super butchers that have recently appeared in the wasteland, and whether to provide more support to the outer city." A leader in a gray robe said, "In order to let everyone here understand The seriousness of this incident, we will first announce the recent incidents to everyone, so that people in different camps have different perceptions."

After the leader finished speaking, Heng Feng stood up.

"The things I'm going to say below all happened before yesterday."
