Chapter 2088 Peters Rubik's Cube
Mo Ye looked at the holographic phantom standing in front of him. This was Sean's projection, which was exactly the same and could even reflect his mental fluctuations.
It was still the face that was half covered by the mask, and the exposed half was as clear as a knife. If he was a sculpture, it must be the pinnacle of the sculptor's pursuit of beauty.
There is no doubt that Sean has a very attractive and beautiful face, even if it is half covered, it can't stop the transmission of beauty, but adds a touch of mystery and charm.
Looking at such a face is very pleasing to the eye, and even hostile identities cannot deny this objective fact.
There was a vague smile on the corner of Sean's mouth, and his deep magnetic voice had a firm tone. He was extremely confident that Mo Ye would not refuse his proposal.
Well, what kind of attitude is that? Mo Ye thought about it carefully, and it was probably an attitude of being confident and confident that he had mastered the whole situation.
Even in the face of Mo Ye, an uncertain variable, Sean has unshakable confidence in his plan.
The slight fluctuations in the process will not change the general direction of his planned development.
Mo Ye looked at Sean, and felt unobjectively 'hateful'.
Mo Ye suddenly thought of the little bedtime story he heard from his master Ai Fan when he was a child. Sun Xingzhe, the orc magister, was pinched in the hands of the Tathagata Buddha and could not escape, and finally had to give in and go to the West to search for the scriptures.
Being teased by the applause, no matter how much you jump around, you can't escape the Buddha's Wuzhi Mountain.
Sean probably thought the same way. Everything, whether it was the Royal Family of the Weilan Empire, the way the Star Alliance responded, the reaction of the Parliament and the Explorers' Guild, or even the Zerg, all of this was in his plan.
Regardless of the reluctance of those involved, the moment the war began, it all went in the direction Sean had planned, into chaos.
No matter how much Mo Ye jumps, he is still a pawn on the chessboard.
The situation of the Star Alliance has developed to the present, and the Weilan Empire has transformed into such an absurd situation, and Sean has played a vital role.
At this moment, I look at the person who stands in front of me, smiles and says "pleasure to cooperate" and is sure that I can't refuse.
Mo Ye finally figured it out, and blurted out, "You think you're a chess player."
Sean was stunned for a moment, but did not answer Mo Ye immediately.
Mo Ye looked at Sean quietly, and did not expect any feedback from Sean after expressing his conclusion.
It's more just an attitude of "Oh, I know". There is also some faint disdain. Magicians are always proud, and if they are serious, they can be said to be arrogant.
This is almost a common problem of magicians. Magicians are always highly respected and admired in the Logar continent. Even Ai Fan, who has been pursued by princes and nobles all the year round, can always get the biggest reward when he doesn't provoke little girls at will. Respect.
How could Mo Ye, who grew up in such an environment, not have the pride of a magician? Magic is a power system that studies and explores the rules of the world's operation, discovers the laws and applies what they have learned.
Master Ai Fan said that a real magician can not only discover the rules but also learn to create, and self-confidence is an essential and important element. Only when you firmly believe that your choice is correct and that you can create can you display a more powerful magic.
There have been some rumors in the market that every magician is an arrogant and stubborn monster. In a sense, Mo Ye agrees with these words.
Even though such self-confidence and arrogance are hidden so well that it cannot be noticed in daily life, it is always there.
A proud magician cannot take pleasure in being moved around like a pawn on a chessboard.
Mo Ye didn't refute Sean's self-confidence, but just waited for him to get back to the topic. The rune slate and star map are the things she wants to talk to Sean at the moment. Pulling the Imperial Capital Star back to its original coordinates, perhaps The secret of the aragonite slab can be opened thus.
As for what to do and what to do after figuring out the secret, Mo Ye didn't have a clear understanding. It was already very tempting to finally decipher something that she had been curious about for a long time.
The mystery of the possible advanced civilization is even more fascinating.
Even if Mo Ye is unwilling, he must admit that Sean's determination is not unreasonable. Sean holds one piece of the puzzle to unlock the secret. The last piece of the puzzle is installed, and Sean is an indispensable and important part.
Alas, if you don't have desires, you can be strong, and if you want something, you will be caught by others.
But it is too boring to really live without desires and desires. The desire for knowledge is also a desire.
Sean has been silent, and Mo Ye's thoughts drift away in this quiet center.
"No, I'm just a chess player."
Sean's voice seemed to come from a distant starry sky.
Mo Ye slightly raised his head and squinted at the person in front of him. Sean smiled and repeated, "I'm just a chess player."
It's not just a person who plays chess but just places chess pieces. This is related to the mastery of the initiative, which is really interesting.
Mo Ye responded indifferently, "It doesn't matter."
What is Sean's starting point, Mo Ye doesn't care at all and is not interested in understanding. When he put her on the chess record, he has already determined the opposing relationship between the two.
Not to mention that this turkey uses her family and friends as threats.
Mo Ye's eyes focused on Sean's mask, and he remembered the few nobles who had parasites attached to their faces or other parts of their bodies that they had seen in the Weilan Empire.
Is it the same under this mask?
Transparent bugs clinging to the skin?
Once such thoughts appeared, they could no longer be eliminated. With such psychological expectations, Mo Ye had a different visual effect when he saw the half of Sean's handsome and monstrous face.
"Are you waiting for me, if I'm not self-indulgent."
Mo Ye nodded, "That's right."
"Those underground insect killers and soldiers are your masterpiece?" The word masterpiece is full of irony.
Sean smiled, his smile was full of sarcasm, and he shook his finger at Mo Ye, "His Majesty the King of the Weilan Empire is a person who can do anything for the sake of imperial rule and the ambition of unifying the universe."
"Those soldiers." Sean nodded, "This is indeed his style, pinning his expansion ambitions on those obedient puppets."
Neither deny nor admit.
Mo Ye squinted his eyes and didn't say whether he believed it or not, but changed the subject, "Xiaoqi restored the star map."
This time the first response was not Sean but his brain, the baby who always looked serious.
"how did you do that?"
The communication between the two intelligent brains and the two masters can't intervene, anyway, they can't understand, and they can't even keep up with their thinking speed.
Mo Ye raised his hand and shook the arm wearing the rune slate bracelet, "Do you think the rune slate bracelet has other uses besides recording star maps?"
This is not a hint, but a clear and unmistakable statement, showing Sean the key bargaining chip in his hand.
Sean stared at Mo Ye with deep eyes.
It's obviously just a holographic image of the communication and not a real person, but because of the real expression and the detailed reaction of mental power fluctuations, Mo Ye has the illusion of facing Sean directly.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Ye's wrist.
Mo Ye subconsciously retreated and stopped when he remembered that the other party was just a holographic image.
Letting this phantom hold his wrist, he didn't feel any actual tactile sensation.
"Ink ink"
Mo Ye looked at Sean, restrained his lazy expression, and reminded, "You can call me by my name, Mo Ye, or Your Excellency, Deputy Head Mo, etc."
"En." Sean nodded, "Your Majesty Momo, please seriously consider the invitation to join our regiment. We have a common mission, don't we?"
not.
Mo Ye gave up on correcting the address, it was just a code name.
"What does the star map recorded on the rune tablet point to?"
Mo Ye asked directly, and did not expect Sean to give a complete answer.
But Sean said, "There is a legend that there is a treasure at the location pointed by this star map. It is a very old-fashioned legend. I saw it recorded in ancient books when I was a child. In a long-ago advanced civilized society, Zaro Peters built a A space station, a starry sky treasury, which preserves countless samples of civilized fire, seeds, frozen ancient creatures, genetic samples, advanced weapons, books, etc., this starry sky repository is called Peters Rubik's Cube.
Passed down from generation to generation until the demise of advanced civilizations, Oswald's scholars found evidence that this legend could be confirmed during their research, the existence of the rune tablet. Sean paused for a moment and continued, "The fire of civilization, the treasure house of the starry sky, how could it not be coveted by people and make people crazy." "
Hearing this, Mo Ye frowned slightly, and she could barely hear what Sean said, "Do you think that the Weilan Empire's attack on Oswald is not only fearful of Oswald's technological civilization development and coveted research success, but also This reason?"
Sean didn't deny it.
Mo Ye expanded his thinking a bit, "Do you think the Star Alliance Council and the guild are also involved?"
Sean still didn't deny it,
Mo Ye thought carefully about the attitudes of the council, the guild, and the Weilan Empire. They really didn't reveal any information about the rune tablet.
It was Sean who knew the most.
"You think I'm lying to you?"
"Oh no, I just lament the unequal grasp of information between us."
Sean "..." was speechless.
It was rare for Mo Ye to speak so implicitly.
"They know Peters Rubik's Cube, but they don't know the existence of the rune slate. The thing in your hand has another name, Peters Star Key."
Very well, Sean successfully aroused Mo Ye's interest and curiosity, finally.
However--
Mo Ye waited quietly, but Sean stopped talking and stopped abruptly.
"I don't think correspondence is the right way to go into details."
On purpose, Sean definitely did on purpose.
Mo Ye clearly realized that Sean deliberately released these clues. He did have information that Mo Ye didn't know. This was his bargaining chip and bait.
His bait had already been placed near Mo Ye's mouth, just waiting for the big fish to jump up and bite the hook.
It's really terrible, knowing that the bait is wrapped with a crochet needle, and maybe poison is smeared on the hook, but that piece of bait is so tempting that people can't give up.
"It is mentioned in the historical and archaeological research of Oswald scholars that there may be all historical civilizations before the interstellar age and before the demise of advanced civilizations in the Peters Rubik's Cube. It is the treasure of human civilization, the last fire and hope of civilization. .”
It sounds like that, but even if the current Star Alliance is in war, it is far from reaching the point where the doomsday civilization is extinct.
As for the extinct high-level civilization, that's another matter, and that black line crossed Mo Ye's mind.
"You know the black line—" Mo Ye was stuck for a while, thinking about whether it is appropriate to use "swallowing". After thinking about it, there is no better description than this word.
Sean quickly realized what Mo Ye was talking about. Since the appearance of the ring-shaped aperture belt, the frequency of star storms in various parts of the Star Alliance, especially near the aperture belt, has increased significantly. The Weilan Empire has encountered it several times. The mysterious disappearance of the starship and the sudden reappearance of the starship.
Sean stared at Mo Ye, locked his eyes, and watched for a long time, "I think it's time for us to meet and talk in detail, what does Mo Mo think?"
Both are throwing bait.
Mo Ye didn't mind going to the Imperial Capital Star, it had to be the Imperial Capital Star, even though he knew that the other party most likely set up a trap to wait for her.
"Master, do you really trust Sean's guarantee?"
Mo Ye looked at Xiao Qi, with a face like, you are joking, Mom, and stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Qi's head, wondering how such a smart brain as Xiao Qi would ask such a stupid question "Of course, I don't believe it."
This person can admit without changing his expression that he planned the war in the Star Alliance, and he would not hesitate to make those crazy arrangements in order to overthrow the Weilan Empire.
Compared to Sean, Mo Ye felt absurdly that the unreliable friends in his team could be regarded as saints. What a terrible comparison.
Mo Ye shook his head, no matter what, Emperor Capital Star must go.
It's just that Mo Ye didn't believe the treasure of civilization that Sean said in his mouth. If it was really the fire of civilization, why didn't it play its due role when the advanced civilization died.
A hidden treasure trove of civilization?
I always feel that this is too ideal and mythical.
Mo Ye subconsciously stroked the hand-made rune bracelet on his wrist, and meditated, what are you hiding?
Peters Rubik's Cube, this kind of name doesn't sound like a treasure house, but more like a dangerous temptation.
However, it is said that this kind of thing has many footnotes added by later generations, and what happened has long been buried in the long river of history.
If you want to know, you can only find out by yourself.
"I think the key point of the rune star map is related to the black line. There is no evidence, just intuition." Mo Ye shrugged and smiled, "Maybe I should discuss it with Luo Yuning."
Xiao Qi nodded seriously, "Master, I think this idea is good."
After hanging up the communication, Mo Ye was already preparing to leave Emperor Erwei and go to Emperor Capital Star.
