Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 471



[Chapter 470 The Big Liar Faces a Choice]

Morpheus couldn’t figure out where on earth this young man named David got the confidence to say such a thing? Who exactly is the other person?

After staring at him for a long time, Morpheus once again asked the classic question: “Who are you?”

“David Glamorgan.” David introduced himself again, and raised his hand to let Morpheus swallow the question that was about to blurt out: “King of the Kingdom of Winter, the incarnation of Brunnia, the Lord of Holy Light, the founder of the Multiverse Justice Avengers.”

After a few seconds, David added: “There are other scattered titles that I won’t mention.”

“…” ×2.

Morpheus and Trinity both looked confused? Every word this person said could be understood, but why was it difficult to understand when they were combined?

Could it be that the other party was speaking some kind of encrypted language?

Soon, he realized that he was overthinking. David’s subsequent explanation made him understand that the previous introductions were really literal meanings, and there was no encrypted information.

“I come from another world.” David looked at Morpheus, who looked like a charlatan in the original plot. He was stunned by his trick and felt it was particularly interesting: “After learning about the situation in this world, he prepared to save the humans in this world who were enslaved by machines.”

“Another world?”

“Yes, have you heard of the parallel universe theory?” The

parallel universe theory is not a rare thing. Basically, as long as it is not a world with an ancient background, it does not need to be explained too much. Most of the time, the other party will understand it by saying “parallel universe”.

“I live in another universe, a planet called Brunnia.”

Morpheus suddenly felt a headache. How can there be parallel universes and aliens?

Moreover, if he is not mistaken, the place where they are talking at this moment is a virtual world created by the Machine Empire.

“Sorry, interrupt me, how did you get into the matrix?”

“For me, invading the virtual world created by the Machine Empire is not a difficult thing. Brunnia has more advanced technical knowledge.” In addition, there are special talents of Cybertronians, but David is not going to say this for the time being.

“So, you invaded here from the real world? And made the Machine Empire unable to detect your existence? You erased all traces of yourself?” Morpheus’s reaction was always fast, and he immediately thought of the key: “Your body is in the real world?”

“Yes.” David looked at Morpheus: “You want to have a ‘face-to-face’ conversation with me?”

“Before that, I have a few questions.”

“Please.”

“Why do you want to save humanity?”

“Because I am one of the founders of the Justice Avengers.”

“What does it mean?”

Just hearing this title, it sounds like some kind of organization.

“This is an organization composed of superheroes in multiple worlds.” David thought that the background of the Matrix world is modern earth society, which undoubtedly provided him with convenience: “What is a superhero, I don’t need to explain it more, right?”

“To be honest, what you said is really hard to believe.”

David spread his hands, and Morpheus, a generation of charlatan, almost doubted his life because of what he said, and this trip was not in vain.

“And you never explained how to defeat the Machine Empire.”

“Oh, you want to ask about this!” David suddenly realized: “The reason why I haven’t mentioned this is very simple. For me, destroying the Machine Empire is a very simple thing, no matter from any level.”

Although Morpheus was wearing sunglasses, he couldn’t block David’s sight. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he was frightened by David’s words: “You are not the only one who came to this world?”

He suspected that David brought a large army. If so, he must hurry back to Zion and tell others about this news.

If there are really armies from other worlds and other planets coming to the earth, it may not be a good thing for Zion and the countless humans imprisoned in the matrix.

When Morpheus began to worry about the future of the earth, David saw through his worries.

“Are you worried that I am actually here to occupy the earth?”

“…”

Morpheus didn’t say anything, obviously acquiescing to this guess.

“In a way, it’s not wrong to say so.” David wanted to explain a few words, but he soon realized that he wanted the resources and population of this world. In a way, he did come to occupy the earth.

So he simply admitted this.

“But, being ruled by my Kingdom of Winter is better than being trapped in the virtual world like crops by the Machine Empire, right? Don’t you think so?”

“I don’t know.” Morpheus looked at David in front of him, as if he wanted to infer more information through David’s changes in expression: “Because I have never seen what the Kingdom of Winter looks like.”

“That’s easy, I can take you to see it.”

Morpheus was stunned. He had indeed thought about this possibility, but he didn’t expect David to say it so easily.

“Any more questions?”

“If…” Morpheus looked around: “I mean, if the Machine Empire is defeated by you, then how will you arrange these humans in the Matrix world?”

“I will continue to maintain the existence of the Matrix world and give everyone the opportunity to choose.”

According to David’s plan, he will let the humans in this world freely choose to continue living in the virtual world or go to the real world.

This decision is not permanent, that is, people who originally decided to continue living in the virtual world can change their minds and return to reality at any time.

Similarly, if people who choose the real world regret it, they can also return to the virtual world.

It’s just that David will not allow the virtual world to constantly increase new population, so under normal circumstances, the number of humans in the virtual world will become less and less.

After briefly introducing his plan, David also emphasized: Because the humans who have left the virtual world are too weak and need a period of recovery, etc., and Winter City needs to make various preparations to receive new residents, so the humans in the virtual world must be released in batches, and it is impossible to release everyone at once.

Morpheus listened to David’s arrangement and found that the other party had considered it very carefully. At least for now, he didn’t see anything missing.

Everyone has the right to choose!

The liberation in batches also takes into account the actual situation. It is unrealistic to release all humans at once. Not to mention that they cannot be taken care of, there are not so many materials in the real world to feed so many people.

Then the only question is why Winter City, or the Kingdom of Winter, is willing to save the humans of another world and another planet.

“Any country that wants to develop rapidly cannot do without a sufficient population. As a king, of course I hope that the more people I govern, the better.”

This reason is impeccable, and anyone who knows a little history can understand it.

However… Does His Majesty want to bring the earthlings back to Winter City as slaves?

“Winter City does not practice slavery.”

Speaking of this, Morpheus found that most of his questions were answered clearly, although many of the answers still sounded incredible.

As for the remaining questions, there was only one thing he cared about: “Why me?”

With Morpheus’s intelligence and reaction speed, he had figured out a lot of things in the few questions just now.

For example, David has the ability to destroy the Machine Empire immediately, and can easily take over the entire matrix and the power of life and death of all humans trapped in the virtual world.

He wants to accept these humans, and he doesn’t need to ask for the opinions of people like Morpheus.

David found Trinity and said so much to him. Of course, he was not asking for his opinion. The other party was obviously here to recruit him.

If what David said before was not false or exaggerated, Morpheus could even guess what David wanted him to do: to serve as the representative of the Kingdom of Winter in this world, responsible for handling the awakening of humans in the matrix in batches, helping these people recover their health and adapt to the real world, and then sending them to Winter City in batches.

So the question is, why himself?

“I believe you really want to save mankind.”

To put it bluntly, it means that he believes that the other party’s character is trustworthy, he can see clearly the major issues and has strong execution ability. As long as it is proved that Winter City can guarantee the normal life of humans, there is no need to worry about Morpheus’s work efficiency, and the population migration can be put on the right track as soon as possible.

The matter has come to an end.

In other words, the second round of talks should be held in the real world, not in the matrix.

Trinity picked up the phone receiver and tested it to make sure the retreat route was still safe. She nodded to Morpheus who turned around and looked at her.

Morpheus didn’t let go of his last bit of vigilance until then. He stood up and walked to the table. When the phone rang and his hand touched the receiver, he suddenly turned around and asked David, “Who is the traitor?”

Since David can easily enter the matrix world and erase the traces of his existence at will, he can naturally check all the records in the matrix. He must know who the traitor is.

“Ceph!”

Morpheus nodded, and finally said to David, “See you in the real world.” Then he picked up the receiver and disappeared.

He didn’t agree on a time and place to meet with David. If David is really as powerful as he said, he can easily find his ship.

After Morpheus left, Trinity was next. Both of them returned to the Nebuchadnezzar smoothly.

Just as Morpheus was thinking about how to capture the traitor Sefer and how to tell the crew about this, Tank suddenly shouted a warning: “Something is approaching us, and it’s very fast! It’s already…”

Dong~Dong~

“Morpheus, open the door!”
