The Age of Machines

Chapter 840

Beixi pondered how to speak.

The muttering of Marv just now was really worrying.It's beyond the player's guess what this person has in mind. The mission probably already has a relatively clear route.

In the end, it should be related to Meredith anyway.As for whether it is true that Quinn wanted to resurrect Meredith, this mission can only be successfully concluded after they lift all the mysterious veils.

Merff didn't open his mouth or cast his gaze because of Beixi's approach.Talking to NPC is also a skill.

"Marv, how long have you been here?"

Beixi is not going to ask questions directly. NPC favorability is a mystery, and generally ask directly what you want to ask, maybe NPC will not answer, or end the conversation with other answers.

Marv looked at Beixi and smiled very friendly. "Probably, 200 years? 300 years? I don't remember much."

The answer is vague.

Perhaps it is true that Merv himself has forgotten how long he has lived, but whether the answer is true or false, it is meaningless to Beixi and the others.

Just to make Manlf let his guard down.

Beixi's smile gradually faded. "Then I must be living in torment here. Meredith is really harmful~"

These words seemed to stir up memories of Manlf.He clenched his fists and his expression was unpredictable. "The evil snake is the source of all disasters. We are too stupid. Hey~ If we can see through it as soon as possible, we won't be in such a situation."

Beixi: "It's not your fault that she is too clever at deception and is very good at hiding. If she didn't have the means, she wouldn't let her get that book. It's a fetish." Beixi's expression Looks like it knows something.

The others listened quietly, without interrupting or making any sound.Not yet.

They knew that Beixi wanted to talk clichés, and when dealing with NPCs, what they needed to pay attention to was always the changing favorability of NPCs.The favorability of this kind of mobile NPC cannot be fixed, and will fluctuate up and down with its own encounters and player behavior.

This will only happen with the favorability of NPCs that are fixed at a certain location.

Marv made a slightly surprised voice: "Oh?"

Beixi said again: "Actually, I've heard of [Elzia]." After a pause, Beixi continued to say to him seemingly harmlessly: "I've also heard of [Mechanical Codex]. That book, It's too powerful. To be honest, I was shocked when I heard the news from here, but it seems that Meredith didn't fully use its power..." Beixi hesitated to speak.

Beixi grasped the fact that Manlf might be interested in the [Book of Punishment]. Her purpose was to make Manlf talk to her on his own initiative.In this way, you can take advantage of the trend and bring it to the point she wants to know.

Manlf was indeed intrigued.

"Have you heard of [Elzia] and [Mechanical Codex], oh, that is [Book of Retribution]?"

Listening to this, Lollipop complained in his heart: Didn't I just hear it from you.

Even if Bei Xi didn't know about this topic, he could still use it completely.To talk about why, because Manlf doesn't know much about [Book of Punishment] and [Elzia], Beixi can completely make up things, as long as the words are not fake, it can make Manlf Just believe it.

With Beixi's ability, it is not impossible to make up another [Elzia].

Beixi smiled: "I have been fortunate to have obtained information from the human prophet. And I have a certain relationship with that [Elzia], if it is the [Mechanical Canon] that I know, I also have the obligation and responsibility to share Take it back."

Marv's surprised expression was very obvious this time. "Origin? Where do you start?"

Bei Xi fiddled with the weapon at his waist, "Do you still remember the appearance of Nuen? It has a steel body, golden eyes, and the magic pattern of God on its body?"

Marv was extremely shocked, "How did you know that?"

Rashomon couldn't help touching his nose as he walked in front, an advanced mechanical wolf looked like this.The eyes are easy to distinguish, but there are differences.If it is an ancient mechanical beast, then the probability of gold is relatively high.

"That's actually a summoned beast. Driven by people, it should have a contractor."

"Oh? Is Lord Nuen's contractor the god in that miracle?"

Bei Xi didn't expect [Elzia] to be a miracle in Merv's eyes, and he had great respect for Nuen.Beixi could guess where this respect came from.

power.

The power of a mechanical beast that can be sent as an envoy is naturally beyond the advanced existence.Even Huya couldn't break away from Beixi and act independently.

The ancient mechanical technology added two magical powers in the later development, so the mechanical beast is even more powerful.That invincible body, to the Goulds family who have never seen a machine, may be the existence of Bishen.

There are many theories about [Elzia], among which the more credible one is that the mechanical town built by Lilita, as to whether it is true or not, Beixi has no way to give an answer.

"It should be. The summoned beast will only obey the contractor's words, just like..."

Beixi stretched out his hand, and the magic circle spread out under his feet, and then a silver wolf walked out slowly. The steel body flashed with lightning. Although it was made of metal, it still had soft curves, and its vigorous figure was very charming.

Beixi held the silver wolf with his palm and returned to the space.She looked at the dumbfounded Manlf, and said, "This is the power given by [Mechanical Codex]."

Civet cat looking at the sky: nonsense.

Merff slowly came back to his senses, his lips moved again and again, as if he hadn't organized his words yet.Beixi continued: "Our ancestors gained unparalleled power because of the [Mechanical Sacred Book]. Later, the disappearance of that book also became the reason for the gradual weakening of our family's power."

Merv finally regained his voice. "You, your summoned beast, Nuen... Your lord really has a relationship with you?"

When mentioning Nuen, Merv said that the lord was still a little hesitant.Perhaps it was because of the sudden transformation into a summoned beast. It seemed awkward for him to call a beast an adult, but when he thought of the powerful power, he unconsciously added an honorific title.

Strength is everything.

Beixi shook his head, "Nuen is not my mechanical beast, but its owner is related to us. It can be said to be the ancestor of the Pioneer family. [Mechanical Codex] gives us endless summoned beasts, and we can Summon different mechanical beasts, no matter how powerful they are, as long as we rely on the [Mechanical Codex], we can make them surrender and be used by us. But now that the book is lost, we can only rely on our current ability to contract combat power. summoned beast."

The palm of Beixi's palm shone with light, and in the magic circle, figures flashed one after another. They were her mechanical beasts.

Merv's eyes flickered a few times.

Just because of the words in Beixi's words, "No matter how powerful they are, they can be subdued by the [Mechanical Codex]."

Beixi was watching his expression all the time, seeing strange emotions flashing in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.Sure enough, I was interested in that book.

In fact, he only knew Nuen and Elzia from the things left by his parents, and he knew that the Mechanical Codex was the Book of Punishment.The appearance of Nuen is a matter of subverting the entire race, and it can also fight Meredith. Presumably, for the power of Nuen, Merv has already praised it to the top of the power.

But Manlf also had doubts. "But without that book now, how did you summon these beasts?"

Rashomon spoke at this moment. "Bloodline inheritance, just like you. Our ancestors have been bathed in the holy scriptures for generations, and the power of the holy scriptures has been integrated into the blood. So in our generation, we can no longer summon weak summoned beasts without the scriptures. But We still need scriptures~ After all, we also want to control powerful creatures~ dragons and the like."

Day by day, I thought that Rashomon could also speak.

"Dragon?" Manlf's voice trembled a little, he swallowed and looked at Rashomon. "You mean controlling dragons?"

Dragons, a powerful race, have existed in this world since ancient times, and are at the top of the biological chain.Any seed knows dragons, and fears their presence.

"As long as it is collected in the [Mechanical Codex], any creature can be manipulated by our family. This is a word that has been passed down from our ancestors, but this book has disappeared for too long, and our family has no hope at all. Thinking of..." Beixi sighed. "Maybe there is a destiny in the dark. Originally, this matter was a secret within the clan, but at this time it involves you Guerz, I think I need to talk to you about this matter, I hope you can help us regain the clan Chinese Secret Treasure."

Marff couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Beixi's words also explained why they didn't tell him as soon as they saw him before. After all, it was a secret and it was not easy to tell outsiders.

"We have too few clues now, and we don't know the details of Guerz. So we still need to rely on your strength, Marf. I hope you can trust us and help us." At this time, Tanuki and the others gradually spoke.

This situation was reversed for a moment, originally they didn't trust Manlf, but now they wanted Manlf to trust them.

They do this just to create the illusion that they have fully trusted Manf.In this way, Merff can slowly reveal his purpose.

Of course, it's best if you don't have one.

If there are other purposes at all, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them find out early on.

Merff's expression was solemn and serious. "Don't worry, that book didn't belong to Meredith in the first place, and I will definitely help you."

Beixi raised an eyebrow.

"Does Merv know when this palace was built?"

Manlf snorted, "Actually, I learned many things from the books left by my parents. My parents' status in Guerz is not low, and they are only in the line of priests."

"Priest, it's a three-headed bird, right?" Lollipop asked.

Marv nodded, "That's right."

"I don't know what the relationship between the three-headed bird and Meredith is?" the civet cat began to insinuate.

Manlf shook his head, "I'm not very clear about these either."

All that Manlf knew was information obtained from other places, and he himself didn't know whether it was true or not.If he was a person who existed in that era, maybe he would know more.Of course, it is also possible that they have reservations about them.

They didn't take the initiative to ask, but Marf took the initiative to speak. "However, according to the records that I know, Master Ehooch seems to have proposed marriage to Merry... that evil snake."

"Proposal?"

Considering Meredith's appearance, they were not surprised.The Scourge Snake is indeed so beautiful that even the elves can't compare to it.

That is her weapon.

"Hasn't anyone from the elves discovered Meredith's true face?"

The elves have the ability to perceive evil forces. Nature endows them with powerful natural forces, and they can also perceive the light in the elements.Therefore, the existence of evil can be sensed.

Marv snorted coldly, "Elves can't do it. At least the elves who fell to Guerz, the blood is not pure. Generally, the elves don't let their people go to other places, for the sake of pure blood, They will also kill the elves who fall outside. In fact, there are very few elves with pure blood in Guerz, even if they are powerful, they are no longer the party of justice."

A bloodline that has long been corrupted.

That's why they became the largest power group supporting Meredith and opposed them.

"Originally, because of Meredith, the elves and we were in a state of conflict."

Beixi: "Why?"

"A beauty is a disaster." Manlf pursed his lips. "After Lord Ihochi proposed marriage, the elves also stepped in. Their leader, Arthur, is a very powerful elf. The two forces have been fighting for a long time. The Goulds I saw in the file left by my parents , it’s not peaceful.”

"Then who did Meredith choose in the end?" Lollipop was suddenly curious. "Did you choose an elf?"

Merff's subsequent silence seemed to be tacitly acquiescing to this.

"The wedding has not yet been held, and Lord Nuen has come to Guerz."

Thus, all the jealousy and anger after being deceived became the driving force for Ihodge's civil war.Managed to trick Arthur and kill Meredith.

but…

Beixi and Weishengmo recalled the phantom they had seen before.

Arthur came back.

Fighting with it, then what role did Nuen play in this whole story.

"That's all I know. This palace is the palace that Ehochi built for Meredith, but it turned into a tomb where she is buried. Hehe, it's ridiculous."

Marv's face was full of sarcasm.

Lollipop looked at Beixi, the two met each other, and then they met, Lollipop said: "I have been holding the [Book of Punishment] before, but I have never been able to open it. Does Quinn know how to open that book?" ?”

Marv frowned slightly.

"Unsurprisingly, you should know."

"Huh? How do you say it?" Day by day, he showed incomprehension. "If he knows, you should know too. After all, you all live on this island and have cooperated before, although now he has betrayed you..."

Marv snorted coldly.

"I didn't even know the location of this palace until later."

He hesitated for a moment.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Quinn once disappeared for a month."
