From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 133 The dusty history【4K】

"The controller of No. [-] salutes you!"

This voice was not as mechanical and cold as the No. [-] guard, but rather gentle, giving the impression that a real person was speaking next to his ear, but he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

"who are you?"

Ryan looked around, but couldn't find where the sound was coming from.

"I am manufactured by the Ness family, the control core of the No. [-] Research Institute, number: [-], authority: A-level. You can call me by number or sequence name-the controller."

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and finally gathered in his ears.

Ryan frowned when he heard the words. He is still not sure whether the so-called No. [-] has self-awareness. It said that its authority is only A-level, but he is S-level. It seems that he is higher?
Moreover, it said that the Ness family, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and memories of the past began to emerge in his mind. When he was still in the prayer room, the name was mentioned in the photo beads left by his grandfather.

The Ness family also came from the barren land, and made photo beads that looked like projectors.

He raised his hand to look at the ring on his hand, it was left to him by his grandfather, and he suddenly seemed to understand something.

"What does this have to do with the Badlands? What does it have to do with the Abyss?" He shouted around.

"I do not have sufficient permissions to answer your question."

"Well, what is the research here, you should know that, right?"

"What is being studied here is the future of civilization, the future of the world. A group of pioneers who have explored the road have dedicated everything here. They have been waiting for the arrival of their successors to restart the research."

Ryan didn't know how to understand this sentence, to study the future of the world?It's too arrogant and conceited, even a legendary or even legendary demigod-level powerhouse is insignificant in front of the mighty power of the world.

"They? Those researchers, where did they go, it doesn't look like they have been attacked."

"Researcher No. [-] died naturally after closing the research institute."

Ryan is silent, which means that the institute is closed from the inside, and the researchers inside should all die without accident, and they died naturally.

"Where are their remains?"

"Unified placement in warehouse No. [-], accompanied by their research and relics, to sleep forever..."

When the controller said this, there was actually a hint of... loss in his tone?
But Ryan, who was looking for warehouse No. [-], didn't notice this subtle change. He did find several metal gates at the front of the laboratory. When he came to the number "eight", a small ball protruded from the gate and scanned it up and down. again.

A mechanical and cold voice came:

"Permission: S-Class

Number: None
The authority is sufficient, allowing entry, and the No. [-] guard salutes you. "

The door opened slowly, and the inside was pitch black. Even Ryan's vision could not penetrate the layers of darkness. Stepping in, the door closed with a dull sound.

This empty and secluded space was eerily quiet without a trace of light. It was completely different from before, and Ryan also secretly raised his vigilance.

"Controller, are you there?" He called tentatively.

"At your disposal at any time." The gentle neutral voice sounded, and it was indeed everywhere.

"illumination?"

"buzzing"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, rows of light spots emerged above his head, illuminating the No. [-] warehouse, revealing the true face of Mount Lu under the darkness.

"Fuck, is it still voice-controlled?"

After making a casual remark, he turned his gaze to the space in front of him, and his eyes widened immediately. As far as he could see, there were rows of semicircular seats in front of him, and a circular open space in the middle.There is a sense of sight in an open-air stadium.

What shocked him was that there were skeletons neatly sitting on those seats. Their bones were crystal clear and white, like porcelain, not human bones at all, but artificial artworks.

Their empty eyes "looked" at Ryan. He only felt a chill from his head to his tailbone, which was a little creepy. This scene was really horrifying and challenged people's nerves.

Taking a deep breath, Ryan said as if to comfort himself: "It's okay, I should have thought of it a long time ago. It's normal to have skeletons in such a long-standing ruins, and it's scary to have a living one."

Fortunately, Ryan has also rolled in the pile of dead people. If he had just crossed over, he would probably have been incontinent after seeing this scene.

He walked to the center and looked around at the skeletons. There were about two or three hundred skeletons. They should be all the researchers here. However, the controller clearly said that there are their research and relics here. Why is there nothing but skeletons?

When he was wondering, a beam of light above his head suddenly shone in front of him, with various colors surging inside, and a figure slowly emerged.

About two meters tall, with an old human face, gray hair, wearing a strange robe, with two numbers on the left chest, the top is "Zero Five Two", and the bottom is a huge "Zero One".

"Holographic projection?"

Ryan was stunned to himself. This was much more technical than the photo bead he had seen before. Just thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way, he suddenly felt that it was nothing special.

"Hello, latecomer.

My name is Verdler, from the Ness family, the highest person in charge of the [-] Research Institute, number: [-], S-level authority.

It is an honor and a blessing to have met you in such a long time.Prove that our efforts are not in vain and there is still hope for the world.

It's a pity that I don't know how long I've been dead at this time, and it's a pity that I can't communicate with you face to face.Next, we will show you our research results one by one, hoping to help you, of course, maybe you don’t need it at all..."

"It's the Ness family again. It seems that they have quite high attainments in magic technology, but such powerful magic technology has never been recorded. How many things are hidden in the long history of this world?"

This is an exchange that spans an unknown number of years, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It is as if a long river of time flows backwards, which is shocking to the heart.

Verdler paused, and said in a reminiscent tone: "Let's start from the very beginning. On the first day when the sky fire came, we thought it was just an ordinary meteorite and didn't pay attention to it. We were full of confidence. It is thought that the city is strong enough to defend against these small meteorites.

But... We were wrong. It wasn't meteorites that were wrapped in scorching flames, but pieces of metal fragments. They easily destroyed our defenses, and the civilization of the entire continent suffered heavy losses.

However, the most despairing thing that brought destruction to civilization is—the devil, they seem to come from outside the territory together with the sky fire, and they did not pose much threat to us at first, so they did not do much in the encirclement and suppression, resulting in many slipping through the net The fish fled.

In those few years, we were all licking the wounds caused by the sky fire, and when everything was calming down, a gray cloud enveloped the city, and our war with the demons began..."

……

When Wilder was telling this history, there was already a mess outside the ruins. Several level [-] monsters fought fiercely, the forest fell, and rocks flew everywhere.The roar was continuous like thunder.

Not only the overlord of the fifth-level monsters, but also strong knights emerged from the human mercenaries, and there was even a mysterious senior magician with amazing strength.

The monsters and the adventurers strangled together, and their blood continued to splatter on the ground. Because of that loud noise, it led to this chaotic battle.

The monsters felt that their territory and majesty had been violated, while the mercenaries and adventurers collided together because of rare opportunities.

A group of lizards successfully defeated a mercenary group by virtue of their superiority in numbers, and became the first party to leave the battle. They began to search for targets in their own unique way, and soon, they began to gather at the ruins.

Xiyue and the others waited boredly, Ryan had been in for more than half an hour, and there was no movement at all.In a claustrophobic space like a passage, it is often easier to make people feel restless.

Allen sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly wiping his horizontal knife, he was always ready.

"what……"

Suddenly, two shrill screams came, making everyone feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.A cold light flashed in Alan's eyes, it came from the entrance. It seemed that the guards he had arranged at the entrance were finished.

Xiyue's pointed ears stood up, and a pair of green eyes looked back, as black shadows rushed towards herself and the others along the smooth wall.

"Enemy attack! Formation."

Although he hadn't seen the enemy's way clearly yet, Allen still made the correct response at the first time. They formed a circle with large shield soldiers outside, and their spears and knives protruded from the gap, like an iron hedgehog. generally.

"puff puff"

A few dark green four-legged lizards crashed directly into the large shield, and were soon turned into hedgehogs by the sharp spears. Dark green blood splattered in all directions, emitting an unpleasant stench.

"We are in trouble. It is the one-horned monitor lizard. This is a common group of monsters that live in groups. The number is often hundreds to thousands. It must have been attracted by the loud noise of breaking the door."

Xiyue fired the longbow again and again, nailing the lizards to death on the metal floor, but her complexion became more and more serious. There were only a few dozen of them, and it would definitely be a disaster to meet such a group of monsters.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for now is that no traces of large lizards have been found. They are all first-level monsters and can be easily dealt with.

"Hold it, fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted, each held their weapons tightly, and started the most endurance-testing protracted battle. Before Ryan came out, they would not take a step back!
……

Ryan in the warehouse didn't know what happened outside, he was listening to Weldler tell about that period of history that he had never heard of.

According to him, human beings occupied a very vast land in the past, and they were born extraordinary like elves, forming independent cities that did not belong to each other but coexisted peacefully.

And the sky fire brought terrifying demons. They created or emitted a kind of gray mist, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Any land that had been eroded by the mist became unsuitable for living.

And together with the mist, there are also monsters called demons.

Cities were breached one after another, and human bodies became breeding grounds for monsters. Their numbers grew rapidly, and soon devoured nearly half of the human land.

Finally, the human cities united under the call of the five supreme beings, and ended their individual battles.They led their clansmen and countless followers, and started a long war against the demons.

The war lasted for hundreds of years. With the help of powerful magic technology, the demons were finally defeated, and their masters, that is, those demons, were expelled to a barren land.

It is said that it is a place of ancient gods' battle, and the vitality is almost extinct. The devil built a lair there, continuously creating gray fog and demon seeds.

The human coalition fought a decisive battle with the devil there. The battle was earth-shattering, and lives were lost like grass... The decisive battle lasted for several years.

Just when human beings thought they had won, the exit of the abyss was opened by the devils. They seemed to come from the abyss. A steady stream of devils gushed out from the abyss, and the war was finally prolonged infinitely.

In the end, for the safety of the mainland, the five strongest men blocked the entire barren land with the help of artifacts, and they and their followers also took root in it.

Those five brilliant surnames are: Blake, Ness, Gabriel, Greenton, Donald.

……

The narration in the middle was very long. In the end, Verdler talked about the [-] Research Institute itself. At the beginning, the barren land was not cut off from the outside world, and they could still have limited exchanges.

Because of the ravages of gray fog, large areas of land are no longer suitable for normal creatures to survive, and they are also spreading.If left unchecked, the entire continent will be reduced to death by then!
In view of this situation, the Ness family with the highest attainments in magic technology and the Greenton family who are proficient in animals and plants have set up laboratories in various places to study demon seeds and devils, as well as "Skyfire" fragments.

The main purpose is to find out the way to eradicate the devil and restore the land that has been eroded.

Research Institute No. [-] is one of several research institutes in the Warcraft Mountains. It is mainly responsible for the research of demon seeds and "Skyfire" fragments.

After several generations of unremitting efforts, they finally made a breakthrough, but the bad news also followed. A major accident occurred in a research institute for studying monsters, and the living specimens studied escaped from the institute and escaped from the hunt .

The result later was that the demons once again set off a war, but this time there were no heroes to stand up, and the barren land was completely closed.In the end, the entire territory of human beings fell.

Some surviving humans fled overseas for refuge.

As the person in charge of the [-] Research Institute at the time, in order to prevent the leakage of the research, Verdler decisively activated the emergency plan and completely sealed off the research institute.

Lead the remaining researchers to continue their research in it until the last moment of their lives.

And as researcher [-] came to the end of his life, the research institute finally fell silent, quietly waiting for the arrival of his successor...
