Doomsday Totem

Chapter 104 Iron Armor
"Old man Tie said that the collusion between the temple and Yincheng is not a good thing." Tie Slag clenched his fists and said indignantly, "Now it seems that this is the case."

"It's not all..." Kezan took a sip of barley tea and analyzed the current world situation.

Today, the Yincheng forces representing psykers are no longer as united as they were 200 years ago.Each silver city has formed its own culture and tradition, and there are more and more conflicts of interest between them.Although it has not reached the point of starting a war, it is almost there.Kerzan predicted that the next world war would be between Silver City and Silver City, between psykers and psykers.

At present, the three major religions maintain their original attitudes towards the wormers.Notre Dame is as neutral as ever, neither receptive nor hostile.The Temple is still the same, and regards the worms as heretics.On the other hand, the ancient temple is neutral on the surface, but actually sympathizes with the worms and often supports them secretly.

However, the attitude of the Yincheng forces has been changing...

Silver City in the Central Continent has been in a state of foreign war, so they advocated the acceptance of worms, but it was difficult to publicly support it due to the teachings of the temple.But secretly, they absorbed many powerful worms.Even in a frontline city, the wormers can disclose their identities and be protected by law.But this is limited to the strong among the worms, and the weak still have no place.

Driven by interests, most of the Yincheng forces in the Central Continent are secretly promoting the idea that "human beings should be united to the outside world".

As for the Yincheng forces in the Western Continent and the Northern Wilderness Continent, even in the parish of the Holy Temple, except for a small number of forces that are very close to the Holy Temple, most of the rest have superficially suppressed the worms, but actually don't bother to pay attention to them.

Often the more advanced insectoid humans, the higher the stability of their gene chains and the stronger their concealment, which cannot be identified by ordinary genetic scanners.If you want to wipe out, you will need more manpower and material resources, and there will be dangers.The death of a psyker is another large pension, but the temple does not pay them salaries, so they are too lazy to do such wasteful and useless things.

Kezan specifically reminded that in the Northern Wilderness Continent, as long as the worms do not rashly enter the territory of the "Golden Triangle", they will generally be fine.The other forces in the Northern Wilderness have a very loud attitude towards the eradication of insects, and have little actual action.The Golden Triangle is different. They have a very close relationship with the temple. Many patriarchs are the regional archbishops of the temple, and many family members serve in the temple.It can even be said that they are part of the temple.

"What is the Golden Triangle?" Iron Slag asked.Although he grew up in Beihuang, he seldom travels far, and his activities are basically between Tieshan Town and Shacheng.

Kezan explained that the Golden Triangle refers to the three silver cities of the Lombard family, which are NO.15 Silver City Manzhushahua City, NO.16 Silver City Fengxin City, and NO.17 Silver City Bauhinia City.These three silver cities are ruled by the bloodlines of the Longbar family respectively, Bauhinia City is ruled by the "Longbar" family of the direct line, Fengxin City is ruled by the "North Longbar" family of the collateral line, and Manzhushahua City is ruled by the collateral lineage of the "Longbar" family. The "New Lombard" family ruled.

The Golden Triangle implements the "Trinity" system, which is a political system headed by Lombar, supplemented by Northern Lombar and New Lombar.From a deep analysis, they are actually dictatorships.Moreover, they have had a close relationship with the temple for generations, almost a symbiosis, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.Therefore, their attitude towards the worms is the same as that of the temple, and their execution is surprisingly strong.Coupled with the fact that they occupy the best piece of land in the Northern Wilderness, compared to other forces, they can be considered rich.

Dictatorship, close relationship with the temple, and wealth, the combination of these three factors made the Golden Triangle completely a forbidden area for worms.

Listening to Kezan's narration, Iron Slag secretly took a deep breath.It turned out that sending You Ge home last time was such a dangerous act, it was like a brush with death.It seems that in the future, don't do good deeds if you have nothing to do, or you will be sent to the stake one day.

It wasn't until today that he really realized that it was an embarrassing thing for him to save a very high-ranking enemy...

Although he has never had conflicts with the temple, as a worm, his aversion to the temple is natural.

It took more than two hours for this lunch, and it wasn't until Kezan finished packing the tableware that Tie Slag remembered that Kezan had such a long conversation, and his question still had no answer.In this regard, he expressed his displeasure.

"Your problem is obvious..." Kezan replied with some embarrassment, "There is just no way."

"This..." Tie Slag was completely speechless. He came here from a long distance, but he had nothing, just learning hunting and brewing, as well as the sneak attack he knew originally, and a little bit of fighting skills.In this regard, he expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"Actually... the herbalism of the Brilliant Temple is pretty good, and there are potions to improve spiritual warriors, but..." Kezan paused at this point.

"Just what?" Tie Slag asked impatiently.

"It's lost..." Kezan said helplessly.

"You..." Tie Slag rolled his eyes angrily, if the other party wasn't stronger than him, he would have made a move a long time ago.Although the other party is an old man, he can't fool people like this, he has to pay a price.In the blink of an eye, he decided to steal ice crystal fruit wine tonight and make the old man suffer.

"But... I will prepare a kind of medicinal wine, apply it after injury, and the strength will gradually increase," Kezan said.

"Does it have to be after the injury?" Tie Slag asked sharply.Kezan's statement feels like he's fooling around again.

"Probably... probably like this, my teacher taught me this way." Kezan said seriously, "Based on your current situation, if you fully master the ancient combat skills, your strength should be greatly improved."

"How much is the specific improvement? My current combat power evaluation is the gold level, can I reach the diamond level and the holy level?" Tie Slag asked.

"This..." Kezan thought for a while, and replied, "The assessment of the Templar's combat power is actually not very accurate..." The old man changed the subject, and said, "Friend, do you want to try the mechanical power armor?"

"Mechanical power armor! Here it is!" Iron Slag shouted excitedly.

"Friend, please come with me." After speaking, Kezan walked out of the kitchen and took the iron slag to the room on the east side of the first floor of the castle.

Pushing the door open, I saw humanoid armor leaning against the wall, about two meters high and one meter wide.Iron Slag looked forward excitedly, these power armors were a little old, but the joints were shiny, and it seemed that they were often maintained.

Kezan quietly waited aside, watching Tie Slag touch this and that.Iron Slag walked around the room and found that there were three types of power armor.

The first type of painting is white, about two meters high and one meter wide.There is a schoolbag-shaped jet bag on the back, thick limbs, and a feather-like ornament on each side of the head.The second livery is gray, but black and camouflage are also available.Compared with the first type of power armor, this type looks much slimmer and feels more flexible. It also has a schoolbag-shaped jet bag on the back, but it is much smaller, with only two jet ports, unlike the first type which has four.It is worth noting that there is a rectangular bump on the arm of this power armor.Looking closely, it is a mechanical flying claw with a steel wire attached to it, which seems to be used for climbing.The third type of power armor is painted dark green and looks very bulky. It is slightly taller than the first type, but much wider.There are no jet bags on the back, but a thick shield.It can be seen from the joints that the steel plate of this power armor is very thick, and it is divided into several layers.Iron Slag touched it and felt that the innermost layer was somewhat elastic, which should be used for cushioning.

Afterwards, Kezan introduced that the white one is "Dawn Power Armor", the standard configuration of the Holy Wolf Heavy Armor Guard, the thinner one is "Nightingale Power Armor", the standard configuration of Skyhawk Nightcrawlers, and the bulky one is It is "Colossus Power Armor", the standard equipment of the Temple Guard.

Iron Slag hesitated for a while, and decided to try the Shuguang Power Armor.Colossus power armor was the first thing he ruled out, and that wasn't his style of fighting.As for the Nightingale power armor, it looks too slender, and it feels like the type of hiding.While he enjoys sneak attacks, he also enjoys bombarding opponents with brute force.Therefore, it seems that the Aurora Power Armor, which is between the two, is the most suitable for his fighting style.

"How to wear it?" Tie Slag asked.He groped for a while just now, but couldn't find any buttons or switches.

"The mechanical power armor cannot be worn directly, and assembly equipment must be used." After speaking, Kezan led Iron Slag to another room.There is a large metal disc in the middle of the room, surrounded by more than a dozen mechanical arms of different sizes.The end of the robotic arm is equipped with various tools, including various types of screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, drill bits, welders, etc.Kezan had Slag stand in the middle of the disk, and turned on the power.

Immediately, a mechanically synthesized female voice came from the speaker above.

[Dear Guardian, please select the power armor model to be equipped]
"Dawn." Tie Slag said.

[Assemble Dawn Power Armor, please confirm]
"confirm."

[Please stand naturally, the scanning starts...beep...beep...beep...]
With the start of the prompt sound, streaks of colorful light scanned Iron Slag's body back and forth, and at the same time the disc under his feet began to rotate slowly.

After about ten seconds, the light disappeared, and the female mechanical voice sounded again.

[The scan is complete, the height and body shape have been confirmed, and the assembly begins]
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen mechanical arms started to move. While removing a set of power armor on the side, they assembled various components on Iron Slag.First is the inner armor made of soft rubber, then the steel skeleton, and then various indescribable small accessories, and then the assembly of pipelines to connect the various accessories together...

"Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...boom..."

With the muffled sound of metal collisions, steel plates were embedded one by one.At the same time, various screwdrivers and wrenches stepped forward to tighten the screws and screw caps...

[The first stage of assembly is completed, entering the second stage...]
At this time, thin robotic arms stretched out, shooting golden laser beams one after another.The laser beam traveled around the surface of the power armor, sparks everywhere it went.

After a while, the welding was completed, and the female mechanical voice sounded again.

[The second stage of assembly is completed, and the third stage is entered...]
As soon as the words fell, mechanical arms connected to black pipes stretched out and inserted into the hexagonal holes in the power armor.Iron Slag was in the power armor, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of liquid filling the pipes.

After a while, several mechanical arms retracted at the same time.

[Assembled, ready to launch]
[倒计时开始，5……4……3……2……1……]
In an instant, hot steam spewed out from the holes all over the power armor.At the same time, the power armor gradually shrinks until it is completely attached to the body.

After the assembly, the iron slag staggered out of the disc and almost fell to the ground...
