Chapter 295
With a long sigh, Luodi pushed away the three people who were clinging to him, turned around and walked into the dark interior of the research institute.
Then, he slowly turned around, opened his hands, and whispered: "It's dawn."
The next moment, a soft and bright white light lit up from Luodi's head, illuminating the interior as bright as day. This closed research institute that condensed the life's work of Canam finally revealed its true appearance.
When Lu Lin was chased by machine guns and missiles before, he actually felt a very strong sense of disobedience. ⒐
After all, in his cognition, this world is actually very much like the so-called "sword and magic" fantasy world. 0
But these weapons really seem to be from the world of science fiction.
But...eight
It's called science fiction, but it seems to be within the scope of modern armaments. In addition, Lu Lin himself has also studied the thermal weapons that combine magic and machinery, so the technical difficulty of manufacturing is actually not that abnormal. Death
Magic can simplify many things, especially in terms of energy, materials and mechanical intelligence. The intervention of magic can filter out a lot of technical difficulties. 2
So if it was just weapons, it wouldn't be enough to make Lu Lin feel too much of a drama. ⒐
But the laboratory in front of him was a little beyond his imagination.
This is simply another space that shouldn't exist in this world, as if it were a technological wonderland beyond time and space. 甒
The first thing is the lighting. The lighting inside this laboratory is not from a fixed light source, but seems to penetrate from the wall itself. It is soft and bright, completely illuminating every inch of the laboratory, but it doesn't give people a glaring feeling when looking at the light source. thorn
It seems that the light here is not the ray that Lu Lin understands, but it fills this space like air, everywhere, but people will subconsciously ignore its existence. Hedgehog
The spatial layout inside the laboratory is intricate, but it also presents a harmonious geometric beauty. 4
There are several huge round tables of different shapes distributed in the laboratory, which seem to be a series of high-precision magic mechanical equipment suitable for different situations but with similar operation methods.
On these round tables, there are several huge transparent spheres suspended, and their interiors are full of constantly flashing and flowing light spots. I don’t know what they are used for.
The spheres are connected to each other through thin beams of light. Can you see light spots with long tails jumping and passing over the beams, like elves dancing in the sky? Buy
On the walls around, rows of slender display screens are embedded. They are quietly lit, some showing some content, and some are just blank, as if waiting for someone to operate them. :
And between the display screens, there are countless ingeniously constructed magic machinery, some of which are even operating on their own.
The air in the laboratory is filled with a faint metallic smell and a little indescribable smell. This smell is very good. Just staying here, Lu Lin feels that his mind seems to be clearer.
The most eye-catching thing in the entire institute is the huge pillar located in the center of the laboratory.
This giant cylinder, or to be more precise, a giant cylindrical magic mechanical device, is the only "darkness" in this bright laboratory where even shadows may not be seen.
The material used to make it is an extremely precious material that can isolate almost all magic and energy. The black "Forbidden Touch" in Lu Lin's two gloves is mainly made of the same material as the material used to construct this dark cylinder.
Due to this characteristic, this material does not reflect light at all, and it looks like darkness that can swallow all light, and it is even difficult to detect its volume.
The reason why Lu Lin can tell at a glance that the cylinder is round is because there are complex runes and patterns carved on the cylinder, which sometimes emit a light golden light and sometimes disappear into the darkness.
Lu Lin looked at the column and asked, "Rody, what is that..."
"That is his Philosopher's Stone. No, to be precise, his Philosopher's Stone is inside that thing," said Rody. "You should also know that although the Philosopher's Stone is called the Philosopher's Stone, the origin of the name is entirely because of the Philosopher's Stone of Gendas, the first sequence."
"Because this legendary original Philosopher's Stone is a stone, all the ultimate creations of alchemy were later called this, in fact, there are all kinds of forms."
"Like the Fountain of Youth or the Fountain of Life, they are all in liquid form."
"And Carnamu's 'Philosopher's Stone' is a form that I simply cannot understand. It is active and can output endless energy, but it is also extremely dangerous and can only be sealed in this thing."
Rody said, walked to the side of the pillar, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the pure black pillar.
"Yaur's Forbidden Dust is a material as valuable as mithril. This entire pillar is made of that stuff mixed with several rare metals. Just for this pillar, he almost emptied my savings," Luodi let out a long sigh, "That guy cried and said he would remember to repay me for this favor, but he was busy with the Philosopher's Stone and forgot to write in his diary. He forgot about it right away. What a heartless old man."
"What are you talking about? This can't really be a fusion reactor or something like that," Lu Lin murmured.
"I don't understand this," Luo Di said, "If you want the answer, you can only look for it in his research notes and records. I can take you to his study later, but before that, we have to determine one thing first, that is, where should we move this thing to."
"This thing? What do you mean?" Lu Lin asked in confusion.
"This entire research institute," Luo Di said, "the old man has set up a one-time long-distance transmission device here as the last trump card."
"We can't let this thing stay here. In this case, we must use that thing to send this thing away."
"But you should know what value this thing has, right?"
As Luo Di said, his voice became serious.
"This is not only the old guy's experiment, but also a steel fortress that can provide endless energy. Seriously, with this thing as the core, a super-large city of top scale can be built."
"Of course I understand its value," Lu Lin nodded, "but isn't this your old friend's thing? This kind of thing..."
"No, from now on, it will be yours," Luo Di said, "whether it is to fulfill the old guy's last wish, or to overthrow the Holy Church, or to say, in return for your willingness to join me in conquering this underground city, I have decided to give it to you."
At this point, Luo Di turned his head and looked at Lu Lin, and said seriously: "Let me be frank, the city of Lan Ye Lin is ultimately under the shadow of the Infinite Church. For Wu Xiang at that time, putting the headquarters there and rubbing against the remaining shadow of the Infinite Church might be a good choice, but it can't go on like this."
"Wu Xiang must always build a headquarters that truly belongs to him, built entirely by himself, and is enough to dominate one side."
"And now, it's time."
Chapter 467 Sweeping the desert and establishing himself as an emperor
In the depths of the research institute, Luo Di was making preliminary preparations for teleportation in front of a complex magic information device.
Xiulins and Oro were in the study on the other side, browsing the notes left by Kaname.
Lu Lin was actually very interested in those notes, but now, he had not decided where to teleport, so he stayed with Luo Di for the time being.
Although Luo Di asked him to quickly decide on a location, after all, they had to complete the teleportation within one day anyway.
Otherwise, if the underground city in this Yu'han○ˉ:八五=〕7⑥/ 63四⑷二 began to collapse and the internal environment changed drastically, no one would be sure whether the teleportation magic would work at that time.
So Lu Lin should actually calm down now, look at the map and think and evaluate carefully, and choose a Feng Shui treasure land for the future Wuxiang headquarters.
But now Lu Lin couldn't calm down and think about this matter at all, and his mind was full of another question.
That is, why did Luo Di spare no effort to help them.
Before, Lu Lin had always thought that, as Luo Di said, he just wanted to find a future successor for his old friend and wanted to retrieve his old friend's inheritance, so he asked him for help.
But now it seems that Luo Di's idea may not be that simple.
At least it is not as simple as it was at the beginning.
After all, the gift he gave to Lu Lin was really too big.
It was so big that Lu Lin was a little afraid to accept it.
If Lu Lin had agreed to become the successor of Kaname at the beginning, it would be fine. To inherit everything of Kaname, he naturally had to take over this research institute.
But Lu Lin's attitude now is obviously not the case.
Lu Lin had said long ago that he had his own ambitions and would not live in other people's dreams.
He also pursued the stars and the sea, and he also understood this romance, and he had longed for.
But that is not now.
For him, there are more priority and urgent things to do.
According to the previous agreement, Lu Lin intended to see if Xiu Lins could take over the treasure left by Kanamu.
So, in Lu Lin's idea, Luo Di might first test Xiu Lins to see if she intends to take over the inheritance, and then decide whether to hand over this research institute to them.
But in the end, Luo Di wanted to hand it over to Lu Lin and Wu Xiang directly.
qqun:8⑸「qi|∽㈥☆※粶神⑷死② This means something unusual...
After thinking for a long time, Lu Lin finally couldn't help but asked directly: "Um, Luo Di, can I ask you something?"
"What do you want to ask?" Luo Di asked casually, his eyes still on the equipment in front of him.
"Although it may be a bit direct to say this... But you should know that at least before the Holy Church is destroyed, I will not inherit Kanamu's last wish, right? "Lu Lin said, "I was thinking, is it really okay for you to just hand this place over to me? After all... no one knows whether it will be successful to deal with the Holy Church. Maybe I won't be able to do it even if I spend my whole life on it, or maybe I will die in the confrontation with the Holy Church one day..." "Do you think I gave this place to you because I want you to take over Kanamu's job?" Luo Di glanced at Lu Lin.
"This place is indispensable if you want to take over Kanamu's class," Lu Lin said. "I remember, wasn't it just for this reason that you brought us here in the first place?"
"Well, that's what it is said," Luo Di said, "But even if you all want to accept the old guy's inheritance, I have to find a home for this place, right? And it doesn't mean that if it is placed with you, I can no longer Looking for someone else to take over this legacy.”
Lu Lin was slightly startled, but then he said: "You mean...even if we don't accept this inheritance, you can lend it to us first, and then wait until you find other people willing to take over this research in the future, and then transfer the inheritance to us." To the other party?”
"Well, that's what I mean," Luo Disou [℃Soul Q Group:㈨牭〖⑧∥EAR∪@4±〓㈢∽30⒌ nodded, "I have been waiting for the right candidate for too long, and I have long been numb. Well, even if I really have to wait for dozens or hundreds of years, I don’t care that much.”
Hearing this, Zhuan Zhuan'々: 韭 neighbor "‰ Si Cang ⑷ Er Ming Lu Lin suddenly understood.
He realized he had overlooked something.
That's lifespan.
After all, he is only a human being. As long as he doesn't do anything to his body, he can only live for a few more decades, so Lu Lin subconsciously looks at these things from a human perspective.
But Ruo Di was different. The dark elf was originally a species of immortality, and he was resurrected by relying on the Philosopher's Stone. No one knew how long he could live.
For Lu Lin, lending something to someone for decades or hundreds of years is basically the same as giving it as a gift.
But for Luo Di, it was just a longer loan.
but……
Even so, there is still no way to explain why he would directly hand this place over to Lu Lin.
He manages the entire exercise hall, and he also has a lot of people to support. In fact, if he is willing, if he does not say anything else, just using this unlimited energy to provide a stable output of magic stones will be a huge income. .
They had already started asking anyway, so Lu Lin simply threw the question out.
After hearing this, Luo Di paused for a moment, then sighed, and then said: "Oh, you, do you have to let me say something embarrassing?"
"Ah?" Lu Lin scratched his head, "Well, how do you say this..."
Luo Di wiped the blood that accidentally spilled from the corner of his mouth because of sighing with a handkerchief, and then said: "Two reasons. One... you should also understand that you are actually quite special to me, right?"
"Because I can remember you?" Lu Lin asked.
"Well," Luo Di nodded, "Although I still don't know why, but obviously, apart from that old guy, you are the only one who is swollen. Someone who can remember me, and not relying on external forces, but someone who can remember me in a real sense. "
"Although ⑼※[〇』ˇ⑷⑻⑷⑵〓∏⑼〇⑸Transit-group:]↑I won't...how to put it, alas, I don't know how to explain it. Can you understand this?"
"Well..." Lu Lin nodded, "I can understand."
Lu Lin had thought deeply about this matter.
As the only person who could remember Luo Di, it was impossible to say that Luo Di would not pay special attention to Lu Lin.
Although he would not suddenly become Lu Lin's close friend just because Lu Lin had this characteristic, Lu Lin's specialness meant that he was destined to be interested in Lu Lin.
As long as Lu Lin is a person with the same temperament as him, or even as long as Lu Lin does not make him dislike him, he will tend to be on good terms with Lu Lin.
Therefore, it is normal for him to help Lu Lin.
But at the same time, Lu Lin could actually feel that he took the initiative to keep a certain distance from Lu Lin.
It is true that Lu Lin is a person who can remember him.
But Luo Di's life is too long after all. He has already tasted the feeling of losing an old friend, and he probably won't want to experience it a second time.
As long as Lu Lin's lifespan is limited, he will most likely be just a passerby in life, so he is destined not to let Lu Lin's relationship with him reach the level of that between him and Kanamu.
Therefore, he doesn't like to chat with Lu Lin very much on weekdays, and he doesn't spend much time with Lu Lin.
On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb Lu Lin and Li Mi's space.
On the other hand, he was also afraid that he would get used to the feeling of not being alone anymore.
He had said before that he would leave after this incident.
Not only because he had something to be busy with, but also because Lu Lin's existence was too special for him.
Luo Di glanced at Lu Lin, and he could see from Lu Lin's eyes that Lu Lin should really understand this matter.
Search∠∑Search¢+QUN:匛▲》㈣-)ba∴. 2¨⑷】Umbrella:″⑶|〔Lin 5 Perhaps because of this, Lu Lin almost never took the initiative to talk about this matter.
"Hehe, it's convenient to talk to smart people," Luo Di smiled, "Let's talk about the second reason. You've heard of it, too. The names of the 'Blood Knell' were all killed on the battlefield. , then...which force do you think most of these battlefields where wars broke out are fighting against?" 9
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. ⑷
"Is it the Holy Religion?" Lu Lin asked.羓
"Yes," Luo Di nodded, "In the chaotic land, more than 90% of the people have a bad attitude towards the Holy Religion. At least more than 60% of the people can be regarded as enemies of the Holy Religion. There are countless people who are sworn in with the Holy Religion. ."two
"Ninety percent of the battles I have fought in my life have to do with the Holy Religion." Si
"Although due to my special physique, almost none of the soldiers who fought alongside me can remember me."⑶
"But... that doesn't mean I can't remember them." Three
"You know, chatting with someone who can't remember you is a very tortured experience." 0
