Chapter 1123: The Old Place of the Speed King
"Peaceful day, my old friend!" The folk history researcher Re Du shook Yang Pingtie's hand enthusiastically, shaking it up and down like a person in the old times.
To be honest, it's not very polite.
From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, "handshake" may mean that both parties show each other "I have no weapons in my hands", and at the same time, it is also to control each other's organs used for attack, representing "mutual trust". However, the emergence of cyber martial arts has infinitely widened the gap in the combat effectiveness of human individuals. Early knights often sneaked into some gatherings to assassinate some important figures who were replaced by the country thieves. It is said that Wu Zu can smash the head of a low-transformation rate person in the shortest time with the "handshake" action without any signs. In that era, the "handshake ceremony" gradually became taboo, and humans began to look for etiquette that did not require actual contact from more ancient times.
Even if the cyber warrior can "read" the other party with experience, he can only realize the approximate level. "Acting" can also interfere with "profile".
Perhaps only an old knight before the sublimation war still has this habit. Back then, they were so impulsive that they started a rebellion and had no idea what etiquette they had violated. They might even be one of the few people who still keep this etiquette.
In the modern martial arts world, "handshakes" and "hugs" are actually only done between people who have a high degree of mutual trust.
In the martial arts circle, this is a tacit "strength competition" between extremely high-level martial artists.
At least "online friends who have just met for the first time" are definitely not suitable for this etiquette.
It is actually very rude to touch an object that has not been observed many times and whose depth is unknown.
Even though Mr. Hot Duty is so inexperienced on the surface, Yang Pingtie still feels something is wrong.
It is said that in ancient times, which are even older than the old times, when the monarch granted the general command power, he would hand over a cold weapon that could kill Homo sapiens to the general. In this cultural ceremony, the monarch granted the axe and the general took the axe, ensuring that each of them had at least one opportunity to face each other with a sharp blade to show the mutual trust between the monarch and his subjects.
After the birth of cyber martial arts, "handshakes" and "hugs" became so solemn.
Yang Pingtie didn't know why he had to use such a formal etiquette. He didn't want to greet someone he just met with such a formal etiquette.
But he didn't struggle, and let Mr. Re Du hold his hand and shake it up and down.
Yang Pingtie endured the discomfort and said, "I heard there was an event... Well, I happened to pass by, so I came to see it."
Well, the character setting of "Sabbath Day" is "a knight who loves history". Recently, he happened to be active nearby. I heard that Mr. Re Du was going to host an event, so I came to see it.
"Yes, it's agreed." Re Du was extremely excited: "I tell you, you really have a good eye! This event is really amazing."
-What big things can you do under the eyes of King Agni?
If it were any other planet, the Six Dragons Sect might be able to squeeze out some expectations. But this is Earth.
Yang Pingtie thought so, but he still expressed his expectation.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." As if he could see that the other party was not sincere, Re Du waved his finger: "You should know it by looking at the site selection of this event? This event is very convincing!"
Ah? Site selection?
Yang Pingtie really didn't think there was anything great about this place. In his opinion, this piece of dilapidated low-rise houses, the terrain is too simple, and the building materials are very fragile, and it is not even qualified to be a bunker. There is nothing that can be called a "topographic advantage".
This is one of the terrains that Yang Pingtie least wants to arrange as a battlefield.
The load-bearing parts of large buildings in the old era can at least block the enemy's attack. And this kind of small building, Yang Pingtie can easily destroy it with his arm strength.
Re Du laughed: "You may not believe it when I say it. The moment the site selection was decided, I felt that our partner was super knowledgeable. It's simply unparalleled. Do you know? This place is likely to belong to the fastest man in the solar system back then."
Yang Pingtie was stunned for a moment: "You mean... the Speed King?"
"Yes, the Speed King." Re Du said so. He pointed to an office building not far away: "According to historical records, that place once belonged to the Speed King."
Kasepon exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
"How is it possible?" Re Du asked back.
"Such an important place, why is it not marked on the map?"
"Marked? Huh? Why?"
"The address of each individual should be marked on the map, right? There must be such a map." Kasepon waved his hand: "Especially such an important individual, it must be worth writing about."
"It was not like this in ancient times. The data on my map is proof." Re Du was a little proud, "We will start the activity there tomorrow. How about it? After hearing this news, you should be excited, right? That's the Speed King's thing!"
……………………………………………………
In front of the office building, the group of people who explored and discovered the Martial God Association held hands and used drone cameras to record themselves and others standing in a row.
The knights stood on the side. Ai You muttered, "Remember to change into a prosthetic body when you go back... I think one day, the government will dig out the hard drives in the brains of these idiots. I have to change into a prosthetic body before that. This is on my to-do list."
The Exploration and Discovery Martial God Association originally wanted to bring other knights along. But Ai You A sternly rejected this behavior.
If it is not for propaganda purposes, knights should leave less information about themselves.
Now some masters can read a person's martial arts level through video data.
In most cases, do not release information about your level and control the outflow of your information.
Zhao Zhengxin looked up at the building whose glass curtain wall had been completely shattered: "What is so special about this place? Why do those fools get so excited?"
Daji shrugged. He felt that this farce was almost over.
Ai You simply sent a few messages to ask the members of the Exploration and Discovery Martial God Association. After a moment, she said: "Well, these historians believe that this may be the... territory of the Speed King in the past?"
"This building?" Daji was startled.
"So small?" The three former scientific research knight apprentices of the Picosi faction were also surprised.
In the legend passed down by word of mouth in the Scientific Research Knights, the Speed King's Speed King Court is a place with extremely high welfare and freedom, and it is suspected to be carrying the hope of leaving the solar system, and it is a place that everyone wants to enter.
The Speed King is a particularly noble existence. This is almost a consensus.
When Yuki heard this, he looked up and looked at this place.
As early as after confirming that Kanhara Kotoha betrayed chivalry and joined the Six Dragons, Xiangshan shared the relevant memories with the people around him. And the memories related to Kanhara Kotoha always inevitably bring out some content of Falcon Voigt.
The Speed King Falcon Voigt was once the most hated kind of Kanhara Kotoha. This hatred is very specific. Even under Xiangshan's enlightenment, Kanhara Kotoha only reached a certain reconciliation with the young Speed King when he was thirty years old.
And Falcon also has a close relationship with Kanhara. Although Kanhara rarely spends time alone with Falcon, Falcon has been very active in asking Kanhara about management and development issues.
At that time, including Falcon Voigt's adoptive father, everyone was impressed by Xiangshan's ideals and spirit, and worked hard for the blueprint he built. But even among these comrades, many people felt that Xiangshan was "just" an excellent manager who just caught the trend of the times, and his success was difficult to replicate.
Falcon Voigt was the one who wanted to replicate Xiangshan's success the most. He hoped to bring peace and prosperity to his hometown, a land that had suffered so much.
Falcon established a non-governmental regional organization.
"Is it here?" Yuki held his chest with both hands.
When the master shared this memory, his emotions were quite complicated. However, the master did not seem to have a deep impression of the "location". At least if he did not mention it specifically, Xiangshan himself probably did not remember that the headquarters of Falcon's regional cooperation organization was the same city where he planned the first assassination.
Xiangshan actually had complicated feelings about this regional development foundation.
Xiangshan also used this organization.
At that time, there were still a lot of insects among the rulers of the African land. They are looking forward to "nationalizing" the assets of Superman Enterprise in the areas they rule, or perhaps it is better to say "nationalization". These small countries are not like those that have completed modernization. To "nationalize enterprises" in these countries is to put enterprises into the personal pockets of tyrants and dictators.
And Xiangshan's so-called "promoting the disintegration of Superman Enterprise and nationalization of assets" certainly does not include this situation.
Behind Xiangshan stands the big countries. Before the completion of the human transformation plan, the big countries are Xiangshan's backing. Generally, small countries have to weigh their pros and cons when facing this situation. However, there will always be fools who can't tell the difference and crazy people who are stubborn. There is no shortage of these two types of people among warlords.
At this stage, Xiangshan often doesn't mind using some small tricks that are not up to the standard.
The more urgent ones include "finding a team of veterans to bring the newly eliminated equipment of the big countries to join the security department"
The less urgent means include "sponsoring the studies of young people with aspirations".
As for why the proportion of young people with aspirations who apply for military academies of big countries is so high? The young people should strive for themselves!
The fund of this "student aid program" is actually managed by Falcon Voigt.
Xiangshan is mainly making a "non-stick pan".
Falcon's feelings about this matter are actually extremely contradictory. After he left his homeland, he hated war. And now, he sent the youth of his hometown to learn the most advanced art of war. But at the same time, he also understands that this kind of thing is "necessary".
Yuki doesn't know more specific content. Xiangshan shared this part of the memory, in fact, to let Yuki beware of Shenyuan Yanye. In part of the training, several knights including Yuan Wenren were required to carry out targeted imaginary training with Shenyuan Yanye as the imaginary enemy.
"It's here..." Yuki murmured.
In a sense, the speed king Falcon Voigt is also his fellow apprentice. But from his perspective, the world seems to have broken. The thin young man in the distant memory and the nightmare of modern martial arts seem to be completely incompatible.
OM shouted, "Okay, everyone, let's go to the other side - that's it. According to historical records, that's a private residential area. Maybe we can find the Speed King's original private residence there! We already have friends looking there."
"No, he doesn't seem to live there..." Yuki whispered.
Falcon Voigt also imitates the father of all machines, Yawgmoth. Falcon is extremely self-disciplined and lives an ascetic life. He is very sensitive to entertainment, and material desires seem to be smoothed out by brain lesions.
In Sap City, Falcon has no private residence. He usually lives in the foundation's own public dormitory, eating and living with people who are committed to improving their motherland.
Although the wealth of the person who adopted him can buy several countries.
I am very sorry to have kept everyone waiting for so long. My condition has not been stable in the past half month. The doctor thinks I should change to another medicine, but the process of adapting to the new medicine makes me very unstable. Now I just feel that I have destroyed my life, making myself unable to do anything now, and making my future worse and worse.
