Chapter 946: Spirit King?
None of our business Nicole thought that the entire negotiation would take a long time.
But after the White Knights left, the Astrologer told her: "The deal has basically been settled."
The pale face of the Lord of the Eight Eyes showed no expression. He said in a calm tone, "Both I and the Eight Eyes leader want to continue our current lifestyle and do not want to be interfered with by the outside world...but the Yao tribe has given us conditions that we cannot refuse."
"They will open a channel to provide us with high-quality meat and omnipotent stone, and gradually send Yao tribe Nuo, trolls, senior farmers, and biological scholars to teach us how to build large-scale pastures and farms. We have tested it and found that it is indeed a genuine and valuable technology that even ordinary Nuo tribes can master and use."
"Nicole, as you know, food and energy have always been two difficult problems."
The Astrologer said: "The 41 void fish led by the Eight-Eyed Leader are all four-eyed at the smallest, and each of them consumes a large amount of meat every year. This is the instinct of the void fish. If we cannot feed them, they will no longer be our allies who protect us, but will be the first to eat us."
“Another one is energy.”
It looked at the constantly running gears of the astronomical clock and its huge and complex mechanical structure.
"To keep the Astrological Clock running, the amount of Omni-Stone consumed is an astronomical figure. You are well aware of this."
Of course Nicole knew.
At first, she even asked about astrology.
"Why must the astrological clock keep running? What's wrong with it stopping? The spirit world has been destroyed, so there is no need to observe the zodiac."
The Astrologer replied: "We, the Nuo tribe, inherited the title and mission of the Astrologer left by the giant. As the Astrologer of this generation, my duty is to keep it running. Even if I am the only one left in the Nuo tribe, I will keep it running."
"But I won't stop you from leaving. If you want to leave one day, I won't stop you either."
Many of the great Nuo here have left.
Because it is getting harder and harder to collect food and Omni-Stone.
The available worlds nearby have long been exhausted, and they must go to distant unknown areas to search. Those places are either the turf of other forces or public areas contested by all parties, where conflicts and deaths often occur.
The Void Fish refused to move at all. Their lazy, home-loving yet gluttonous nature meant that Astrology didn't have to worry about the safety of the area, but it also put a huge amount of food pressure on it.
Nicole never wanted to leave and was determined to help Astrology.
Astrology is not only a benefactor, but his persistence in responsibility and perseverance have also influenced her to this day.
Nicole was worried: "If the star officer inside leaves, will the astrologer still work?"
"The Yao tribe promised to let the star officials continue to stay here, and they will also look for replacements. It is said that they have some fragments of the zodiac star that can also be used as replacements. The White Knight said that as long as the signal structure is the same, it can be replaced..."
"I know this may not be credible, but we have no choice."
The astrologer said to the girl in his palm, "The Eight-Eyed Leader believes that it is very dangerous just to resist the White Knight."
"The Yao tribe still has three satellites as powerful as the White Knight. They appeared during the confrontation on the periphery before. If the other side launches an attack, even if all the Void Fish and Nuo tribe die in battle, it will be impossible to stop them."
"This is only part of the power displayed by the Yao clan."
A smile appeared on Li Jun's face. "We also interacted with the Void Fish Clan in this way in the past. This may not be a bad opportunity. Adapting to the environment to survive is something that must be learned."
…
The Yao clan visited again a month later.
It was still the trio of Satellite White Knight, Godly Light King, and Void Fish Apostle who swam towards them. This time they came to officially rescue the trapped people in the astrologer.
Nicole looked around but didn't see Adogan.
At this time, a strange flying ship flew in the air. The front half of it was made of metal, and the back half was a huge crystal with purple-black mist rolling inside and constant lightning.
The large firefly-like ship circled the upper tower and stopped next to Nicole.
Adogan waved at her from inside, motioning Nicole to get on board.
When they got to the cabin, Adogen pointed to the three huge iron boxes inside and said, "Open them and take a look."
Nicole opened the largest box first - it was taller than herself.
With a click, the iron box door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a metal man fixed in the box.
It has a semi-mechanical structure similar to a skeleton, with two pairs of folded metal wings on its back, and the lines extending from them are neat and clear.
"This is the [God's Chosen Prosthetic Body Type II] manufactured by White Castle, equipped with a [Portable Magic Bottle] and the latest trial [Magic Symbol Ripple Body]. Try it on."
Nicole followed Adogan's instructions, pulled up the prosthetic outer chest, stepped inside, and turned the knob at her waist, and the entire prosthesis wrapped around her and fit her tightly.
Originally she was shorter, but the prosthetic armor adjusted itself to fit her perfectly.
Nicole didn't feel any heaviness after putting it on. Whether she was walking, touching or jumping lightly, she could get sensitive feedback from the prosthesis, just like another layer of body.
Although it is metal, it has the high flexibility of flesh and blood.
This was beyond Nicole's understanding: "How is this possible?"
"It uses some special designs and is filled with our unique Xirang material. Xirang itself is alive, so it will fit in with your movements. But don't worry, they are like high-viscosity mud, which can play a role in shock absorption and conduction."
Adogan explained patiently, "The other two boxes, one contains various accessories. Because this is a basic model, various external devices can be added for special operations as needed, such as magnetic probes, auxiliary endurance devices, thickened outer armor, external robotic arms... This thing is very expandable."
"There is also a box of specially made tool boxes, which are used to repair and debug this prosthesis."
“It can assist you in long-distance flight and fix it to those axes and walls, so that your inspection and maintenance will be more convenient.”
Nicole was at a loss when she heard this: "This is too precious. I, I can't have it..."
"I'm your brother, I'm giving it to you, just take it."
Adogan said generously: "I bought these for you with my income from the show. Don't be polite, take them and use them."
"Thank you...Brother."
This call of "brother" made the other person laugh out loud: "That's right."
Nicole clicked her tongue inwardly.
This guy is so weird, why does he want to be my brother? Nicole was a little troubled again, the return gift she prepared was simply not presentable.
Just use that one.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So she hesitated for a moment: "Brother, do you use cocoons?"
"Cocooning?"
Adogan was puzzled: "What is that? Are there caterpillars and butterflies here?"
"It's the Chaos Butterfly's thread."
Nicole explained: "I work with all kinds of mechanical mechanisms, and when I inspect, repair and install them, I find that some of the wires between them can be connected. As long as you find the type that can be connected, you can connect the different mechanisms together."
"I've observed that if you connect them in a certain way, the threads will naturally dock with each other. Then as long as the docking is completed, more than 50%, the threads will shrink and entangle into a cocoon-like shape. This is called cocooning. Then as long as adjustments and modifications are made, the cocoon will slowly open until it becomes a normal stretched shape, like a butterfly, thus synthesizing a new mechanical mechanism."
"My grappling hook, calibrator, material detector, and artisan armor are all made by cocooning."
The other person's face froze, and his eyes widened slightly: "You mean... you can connect their lines of rules?"
Nicole said: "It takes a lot of attempts, and there are still very few that can be done. Only those tools with stable lines can do it. For example, various life forms cannot be done. It is too difficult because there are too many lines and irregular changes."
"I have tried to connect some giant structures before. The cocoons they formed are very spectacular and the unfolding is also very beautiful. The star disk is what I improved by using the cocoon. Before, it was not accurate enough, the delay was serious, and it could not record automatically."
Adogen showed a strange expression: "You are better at using Chaos Butterfly than I am. I don't know this."
"Then I'll teach you." Nicole said happily.
The other party pondered for a moment and said: "We are developing in different directions. My observation target is various life forms, and you prefer to observe various tools and stable structures. Unfortunately, your ability should shine in the Yao tribe. The Yao tribe has always been short of creative talents in manufacturing and processing."
"Nicole, listen to me and follow me to see Lord Yaoshen. If you want to do good for this place, then go and show Lord Yaoshen what you can do."
"You are a craftsman. You should understand that you need to use the power of levers and pulleys to magnify your weak strength many times. Now the best opportunity is in front of you."
Nicole asked: "If I can make a lot of cocoons, can Lord Yaoshen keep this place? Keep the Astrological Clock, the Astrological Hou clan, and the Eight-Eyed Leaders... Is that okay?"
The other party laughed and said, "Of course. You have a magical skill that can transform tools into advanced ones. In the Yao clan, there is nothing more useful than mastering a unique craft."
Nicole made up her mind: "Then I'll go!"
"Relax... eh?"
Adogan cast his gaze downward.
On the outer wall of the astronomical device there, a strong blue light appeared, surrounded by a large amount of lightning.
"This is the Libra star official...it's actually an electric vibration star." Adogan looked surprised and grabbed something from his pocket and gave it to Nicole.
Nicole looked and found that it was a small paper bag wrapped in paper with the ends twisted tightly.
"This is fudge." Adogen said, "I went to Xingke City to buy it for you. It's selling very well recently. I was so busy talking to you that I forgot about it."
"Eat this while you watch the fun."
Nicole opened the paper package and put it in her mouth. The candy was soft, sweet, and delicious.
“It’s delicious!”
Watching the electric ball moving with difficulty on the surface of the astrologer, Nicole couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you said that we are the bloodline of the Spirit King. Then the Spirit King left us here because he wanted us to do something? Do we have any responsibilities, such as reviving the spirit world?"
Adogen looked at the excitement below and said: "It's none of my business."
"ah?"
Adogen said to Nicole, "What makes people respect and trust is not blood and title, but actual behavior. Even mice and birds, when they give birth to cubs, will feed them and teach them how to survive. Our parents are not the Spirit Kings. My parents are Lord Yao and Lord Taisui. Your parents are the Astrologer and the Void Fish Leader Bamu."
"Spirit King? It's none of our business."
Nicole thought it made sense.
