Steel Chang'an

Chapter 97

The Elders of Tomb Island consisted of twelve first-generation Zhizu. Their names were numbers from one to twelve.

And the name of the Zhizu female military adviser in front of him is Shisan.

Mu Yun blinked and looked at the Zhi woman who was pressed under him.

A perfect creation created in accordance with the ideal image of human beings, possesses a brain with extraordinary computing power, a tall and fit body, and the strength and speed of the sharp race, and is not bound by human contracts, neither masters nor servants.

"You are the first generation." Mu Yun said.

Thirteen, the first-generation Chizu who disappeared for thousands of years with the part of human civilization she kept.

"You're smarter than you think." Thirteen smiled, "Let me guess, your hometown Baima City doesn't have a contract with the Zhizu, and you can't possibly get it from the late young master of Baima City." I learned about the old affairs of Tomb Island; your master Li Jing is well-informed, but he has the heart to gossip with you; you can guess my identity, probably because I have heard about the first generation of Zhizu from the mouths of other Zhizu. Well, that person...should be the Butler Ji next to King Teng, right?"

Mu Yun was speechless.Compared to the shock that he deduced that Thirteen's identity was the first generation of Zhizu just now, even if Thirteen accurately deduced how he came to the conclusion in such a short period of time, it would not shock him at all.

What shocked him more was that the fresh and tender female body he pressed under him was actually an antique older than the Thousand Year War... Tomb Island's body maintenance technology is really amazing!
It's no wonder that Li Jing didn't intend to seriously find out who the owner behind Shisan was from the beginning to the end. He was afraid that he had already recognized her identity when he saw Shisan for the first time, and he already knew that there was no one behind her. The so-called owner can be checked!

"Since you already know who I am..." Thirteen twisted his body, "Even if you don't know how to be sympathetic, you should at least know how to respect the old and respect the virtuous, and take your hands off the old man's head, okay? People's hairstyles will be messed up by you."

You call yourself an old man, wouldn't it be disrespectful to flirt with me?Mu Yun complained inwardly, but the expression on his face was still as cold as ever, "If you agree to my conditions, I will naturally let go."

"If you don't tell me, how will I know what you want?" Thirteen's voice was still as hoarse and pleasant as ever, "Tell me what you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you."

The meaning contained in this sentence is almost more seductive than Thirteen's voice: a first-generation intelligent race who rebelled against Tomb Island carries fragments of human civilization that have never appeared on this continent, as long as she Take out one or two technologies from your own brain, that is enough to make an ordinary person live comfortably for a lifetime, and even buy a piece of territory, transform yourself into a nobleman, and enter the privileged class of the mainland.

"I want kindling." Mu Yun said.

"Tinder? Interesting..." Thirteen laughed softly, "It seems that you will come to me today, it is not arranged by your great master. What did Li Jing do in Donglin to make you feel sorry for me?" Did he have a heart of betrayal?" She only took one look at Mu Yun's face, then shook her head, "That's old grievances. You have neither parents, clan, nor wife or lover. If there is any hatred, it will be with Baima City. It is related, it seems that Li Jing was inseparable from the collapse of Baima City back then, and he still failed to hide it from you in the end..."

Mu Yun's heart trembled.Not only because he only said the word Tinder, and Thirteen could infer so many things from it, but also because he suddenly realized that the other party actually knew him very well, and might even have noticed him for a long time.

He knows he's just a little guy.A small person will be noticed, naturally because of his value.

His greatest use value is that he is a pawn of Li Jing.

This chess piece is now delivered to the door by itself, and walked in front of the opponent.

When dealing with such a chess piece, the opponent can only have two reactions:

Capture this piece, or make it your own!

Mu Yun instinctively sensed a dangerous aura, but before he could take any action, he was thrown to the ground!
Almost in the blink of an eye, that graceful and plump body was pressed against him in turn, even his hands were pressed on top of his head by the other party!

This posture made Mu Yun have very bad associations and some very bad reactions...

Thirteen smiled, "You don't have to think so beautifully, I won't do anything to you." She stood up, picked up a shawl and wrapped it around her chest, covering her messy dress, "I'll answer the door first, you wait for me obediently."

Just as Mu Yun was about to jump up from the ground, he heard two knocks on the carved door of the Royal Pavilion. He immediately kept lying down and slid under the table closest to him.

Standing outside the door is Teng Wengong.

Behind him stood four sharp guards.

Seeing Shisan standing in front of the door, Teng Wengong seemed relieved.

"Someone deliberately led me out of the Royal Pavilion just now, cut off the circuit, and caused chaos. I'm worried that their target is you."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Thirteen alone stayed well in the imperial pavilion," the Zhizu female military adviser half-closed the door, blocking Teng Wengong's sight with her body, and said in a hoarse and pleasant voice, "It's just a little It’s just a system failure, and Thirteen has already solved it. The young Patriarch of the Fei family must also admire the lord’s appearance, and only wanted to get close to the lord, so he did this extraordinary move, and the lord doesn’t have to worry too much.”

"Oh?" Teng Wengong raised an arm full of teeth marks, and was about to retort a few words, but saw Shisan stretched out a finger and pressed it against his lips, "It's getting late, and those lords and knights are also It's time to wait, my lord, why don't you go to the Royal Palace to announce the matter of entering the Yin Ruins, so as not to have long nights and dreams?" She smiled sweetly, and her finger slid down, pressed against Teng Wengong's chest, and gently pushed the door out , "I connected to the castle tower system before Thirteenth, and my mind is still a little dizzy and tired at the moment. If I want to rest alone in this imperial pavilion, I won't accompany the lord."

This is a blatant expulsion order, and it is still driving people out on Teng Wengong's territory. Does Teng Wengong lose face?While hiding in the case for a few peeks at the situation outside, Mu Yun couldn't help but vomit in her heart.

Seeing the expression on Teng Wengong's face, he obviously didn't believe a word of Shisan's words, but he still nodded calmly, turned around and said to the four sharp guards: "You stay here."

"My lord is very powerful, so I should bring more people around me. Thirteen has the skills to protect herself, so I don't need my lord to worry about it."

The smile on Shisan's face was very sweet, but his tone was very cold. After hearing this, Mu Yun had only one thought in his mind: This is really not giving Teng Wengong any face!

But Teng Wengong didn't take it seriously at all, smiled lightly, said hello, then lifted his cloak, turned and left.

Being able to make a man like Teng Wengong do what he says... This first-generation intelligent race is indeed a powerful character!

Seeing this formidable character closing the door and walking towards her gracefully, Mu Yun's body stiffened a little.

"Now there are really only the two of us inside and outside the Royal Pavilion... Can you rest assured?"

How can you rest assured!Don't think I'm easy to cheat because I'm a virgin!Will any good things happen when a lonely man and a widow live in the same room?Mu Yun's face didn't change, his heartbeat was very chaotic, he knew that he had completely fallen into the other party's trap: from the time the butler Ji cut off the power, the other party deliberately showed weakness and was captured, tricking himself into telling the purpose of coming for Tinder, in order to Find out your cards!

Since the other party has guessed about the hatred between him and Li Jing for destroying the city, he can also guess that his action this time is not within Li Jing's plan. At this moment, he is completely trapped in this situation. In the Royal Pavilion, there is no backup plan at all!

If Li Jing hadn't personally acted, it would be absolutely impossible to get him out with the help of Xiao Teng Wang, Ji Steward, Xue Nu and Xiao Ye Zi in the Tianshou Pavilion. On the contrary, charge him with treason and assassination. It's not too bad to trap Teng Jiaxing and even the Fei family together!

asshole!Could it be that at this time, you still expect Li Jing to save you?Can you be a little bit promising!

As soon as she realized that she was thinking of Li Jing unconsciously, Mu Yun wished she could slap her face!

On the way from Chang'an City to Yongjiang City, even on the edge of the East China Sea, he was too used to having companions around him, and unconsciously began to trust them, and even began to rely on them——

Especially Li Jing.

Before he overheard Li Jing's conversation with the wolf lord, he was his master, his strongest companion, and the person he trusted the most.

He has become used to no matter what the situation is, as long as Li Jing takes action, all problems can always be solved in the end.

And he just needs to rush forward regardless.

In just over a month, he has become used to fighting side by side with others, and even somewhat forgot the days when he fought alone, that feeling...

Before he knew it, he became weak.Mu Yun thought to himself.He bit his lip tightly and clenched his fists.

The only person you can rely on is yourself.The voice inside him spoke to him.The people you thought were your companions are all nobles, and they will betray you at any time because of their own interests.Do you think little King Teng would give up Teng Jiaxing for you?Do you think Li Jing will give up his plan for you?Even Fei Ye, can she really give up her responsibility to the Fei family for you?

You can fight for them, but they may not fight for you.

said the voice.

You must fight for yourself!

Mu Yun took a deep breath.

He didn't make a move before because he knew that by himself, he was absolutely no match for an apostle, a first-generation Zhizu, four sharp guards, and the automatic defense system of the entire castle tower.

He planned to make a move at this moment because he knew that no matter what the reason was, Shisan didn't want Teng Wengong to know that he had fallen into her grasp, so even if he made a move, it was impossible to alert those sharp clan attendants.

However, even if he and Shisan were the only ones in the royal pavilion, he would not be sure of winning.

His eyes were fixed on the glowing green bugs that had been hovering around him since just now.

"You've seen Teng Mosquito before," Thirteen said with a smile, "This is one of the boring inventions of little King Teng when he was a child. His eldest brother Teng Wengong gave me some samples, and I made them more interesting."

"Each mosquito's head is equipped with [-] milligrams of micro-explosives. If I snap my fingers—" Mu Yun watched as a mosquito rushed towards a thick carved chopping board without warning. A circular hole piercing through the front and rear was blown out, and Thirteen, who was snuggling gracefully on the couch, did not make any movement, "Just kidding, their miniature electronic brains are connected to me, and I don't need any movement to put you Blow it up into a hornet's nest." She smiled charmingly as she spoke, "I'm not willing to blow you up, so promise me, you must be obedient, okay?"

So this is the true strength of the first generation of Zhizu... even, it is only a small part of the strength she showed.Mu Yun thought to himself.

In this imperial pavilion alone, there are countless tactical puppets like Teng Mosquito hidden.

Now he began to suspect that even Li Jing was not a match for this intellectual woman.

At least, you are not her opponent.said the voice.

You don't have a battle armor, and you don't have a bright sword, you are just a human being.

I still have the power that comes with tinder.Mu Yun thought to himself.He didn't know how that power would work after it was out of the armor.

But he could feel the existence of that force. Without the support of that force, he would not be able to stand here after fighting almost day and night for three consecutive days.

If I push myself into a desperate situation... He looked at the mosquitoes hovering around him like phosphorus fire, and a desperate thought appeared in his heart.

Those murderous insects seemed to sense his determination and the danger in the air, and began to vibrate their wings restlessly, flashing green light frequently.

At this moment, he heard Thirteen's voice: "Interesting, it seems that your great master never told what the fire is, and he never told how to use the power from the fire, did he? "

"I know what kindling is." Mu Yun said in a deep voice, "It can endow knights with blood."

"Oh? It seems that you know a lot," Thirteen held his chin, "Then do you know what the blood of a knight is?"

Mu Yun was at a loss for words.Don't say that he can't answer this question, I'm afraid no one on this continent can answer it.

The reason why knight blood is called knight blood is because it is not some physical characteristic visible to the naked eye, nor is it some kind of genetic characteristic that can be traced, it is more like an innate ability, and this This ability can only be brought into play when the human and the mecha are connected.

The most intuitive and simplest manifestation of this ability is whether a person can synchronize with the mecha.

More generally speaking, it is whether this person can regard the mecha as a part of his body.

The reason why people can manipulate their bodies as they wish and make various actions without thinking is because the human body is the most basic part of self-awareness.

The human brain automatically distinguishes itself from external objects. Wherever the human eye sees, where the fingers touch, wherever the senses touch, the neurons in the brain area start to discharge, and the nerve signals are transmitted from the brain down to the spinal cord. Then it reaches the muscle fibers, causing muscle contraction, driving the limbs to move, and guiding people to make or avoid foreign objects, or use foreign objects, or attack various actions of foreign objects.

And when a person practices using a tool for a long time, the tool will also be regarded as an extension of the person's body, and will be incorporated into the person's self-awareness by the brain.

Just like an excellent swordsman, the sword in his hand is the extension of his arm; a street performer walking like the wind on stilts, the bamboo pole under his feet is the extension of his feet.

Where the sword tip is pointing, although the hand cannot reach it, the neurons in the brain have already started to discharge, guiding the swordsman to hit the target accurately; the ground on the stilts, although the feet cannot reach it, but the neurons in the brain have already started to discharge. It releases signals to tell the human body how to adjust its body pace and maintain balance, as if walking on flat ground.

In other words, at this moment, in the human brain, the scope of the self is no longer just a body, but also includes a tool as an extension of the body.

Generally speaking, the smaller an object is, the easier it is to be included in the scope of the self.

This is like ordinary people who can write with a pen and eat with chopsticks after a little study.

The simpler the function of the external object, the easier it is to be included in the scope of the self.

Just as a craftsman uses a hammer to accurately hit a nail some distance away, a farmer does not need to measure the size before plowing with a rake.

Foreign objects that are slightly larger and more complicated to use, such as musical instruments of musicians and weapons of military strategists, require hundreds of hours or even decades of repeated practice. The number of meta-cells increases, and new neural circuits are formed in the brain, so that it can be used as freely as a part of one's own body.

It is extremely difficult for a large and complex foreign object like a mecha to be included in the scope of the self and become an extension of the human body.

For most people on this continent, it is something that cannot be achieved even after spending a lifetime practicing and comprehending it repeatedly.

You must know that although the mecha can be connected to the human body through the neuron system, it can capture every movement of the human knight—that is, after the nerve signal is transmitted from the spinal cord to the muscle fiber, there is one more step to transmit it to each part of the mecha. To drive the mecha to make various actions, but even a [-]-ton mecha is several times larger than a human body, and a small movement of the human body will be magnified several times.

If the mecha cannot be included in the self-category, it is equivalent to that every time the knight in the mecha takes a step, he has to estimate in his heart the distance after his step is multiplied several times, and the angle of each step he raises is enlarged. Afterwards, the impact on the balance of the mecha, and even whether the width and height of the mecha can pass through an obstacle must be calculated in advance.The mecha under this kind of operation is bound to be extremely stiff and slow, and it doesn't even need to encounter enemy attacks. It can fall down and be unable to get up after just walking a few steps.

There are also resolute and stubborn people who want to use a lot of stimulation to generate new cells and blood vessels in the brain through long-term repeated training, and forcefully incorporate the huge mecha into their own category. The result is often cerebral blood vessel burst or blood vessel obstruction And ended up.

But there are some people on this continent who seem to be the favored ones of heaven. Basically, after a few boarding operations, they can find the feeling of using their bodies to control the mecha.Usually within one to two years, they can already control the actions of the mech as they control their own bodies, which is to achieve the so-called "synchronization".

Mu Yun is also one of them.

In the barracks of the Northwest Blue Wolf, he has always been the one who learned the fastest among all the people, and he even succeeded in driving a [-]-ton special armor.

He used to think he was a genius, until recently he realized that it was only because of the knight blood.

It is also because on this continent, the vast majority of people who can control mechas like him are from aristocratic families, and the blood of these noble families can often be traced back to the seven knights of Pangu who created the world, as well as in the legendary era. Following their knight ancestors who fought, the nobles on this continent called this innate ability to control armor "knight blood".

And now he has vaguely guessed that the so-called knight bloodline is the result of being infected by fire particles.

It is said that the knights in the era can control a giant armor that is as high as the sky and the earth, which means that their self-awareness can be expanded to the extent of the sky and the earth to accommodate such a huge armor.

In the so-called era of mech civilization, the largest tonnage of a mecha is no more than [-] tons. Even so, most knights on this continent can only control battle armors of less than [-] tons. With forty tons of special armor, there are less than a hundred people left on this continent.

This is why the inheritance of the knight's bloodline that King Teng and the young master of the Li family said has become extremely thin so far.

In other words, this is the result of the gradual failure of the effect of the tinder particles in the genetic process.

However, Fei Yu, the young master of Eagle Castle who was considered inferior to Fei Ye by the late Lord Eagle Castle, was able to control the forty-ton black wind for the first time in the dead castle after getting the fire seed. When it was Xuanjia, it exerted great power.

This also means...

Mu Yun raised his head and looked at the Zhi tribe woman in front of him.

He had originally planned to give it a go and get out of the castle tower, but at this moment he suddenly had a feeling——

On this night, in this imperial pavilion, the biggest secret on this continent—the secret that Li Jing wanted to bury no matter the cost—was about to be slowly spit out from the red lips of this first generation of intelligent people.

Mu Yun loosened his fist.The Teng Mosquitoes floating around him seemed to have sensed his intentions, and they stopped flickering uneasily, and once again floated in the air like fireflies on a summer night.

"The real role of tinder is to expand a person's self-awareness, so that people can use things outside the world for their own use."

Mu Yun said.

He stared into Thirteen's narrow and charming eyes, trying to see from the reaction of this first-generation intelligent race whether he had guessed the truth.

I saw Shisan stood up from the couch, patted his hands lightly a few times, with a smile on his face, as if he was very appreciative.

Mu Yun's face did not change, and there was inevitably a little smugness in his heart.

But Thirteen's hoarse and pleasant voice said: "It's not easy for you to think of these things in such a short period of time."

"It's just, have you ever thought about what would happen to the brains of those Pangu knights who created the world if they could control the giant armor that is as high as the sky and the earth by expanding their self-awareness?"

Mu Yun was taken aback by the question!
