Chapter 1491 Listen more, ask more, speak less
“The first warning, boy Mo, don’t trust anyone.”
When Lu Wei said this, there was an unprecedented look in his eyes Dignity, and that dignity has almost surpassed the concept of 'adjective', and really affected the narrow compartment where the two of them were at this time, causing Mo Tan's gradually recovering physical strength to begin to slip again, and traces of fine fluid oozed from his forehead. beads of sweat.
After about five seconds, Lu Wei frowned and waved away the oppressive feeling that he had just inadvertently revealed, which a pure engineer would never have, and looked at Mo Tan sideways again: "I understand. Is it?”
“Maybe a little bit.”
Mo Tan turned his head and glanced at the gate behind him that directly isolated this small area from the regular space. Then he gently pinched his eyebrows, turned to look at Lu Wei again, and said very frankly: "But I don't want to pretend to understand, Master Lu Wei, so if I can..."
"You don't need to say it, I didn't intend to hide it, and anyone who speaks half of it should be pretended." Get into the cannon and blast it out."
Lu Wei took out a pipe from his pocket, which was visually larger than the player's luggage, stuffed it into his mouth, and used his extremely versatile mechanical arm. He lit the fire and slowly exhaled a puff of light blue smoke that was not pungent and even made people feel refreshed. He said lightly: "But I hate idiots and people who don't use their brains, so I won't I plan to instill my thoughts directly into you. Even if time is tight, I still want to see you thinking, because thinking is the meaning of our existence in this world.”
Admittedly, Lu Wei’s point of view. It can be said to be extremely subjective, but it is clear that the other party is not looking for trouble for him. Mo Tan, who even had a lot of goodwill, nodded immediately: "Okay, Master Lu Wei."
"Then let's Let’s get started.”
Lu Wei raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, took another puff of his pipe, and said, "You have guessed just now that the reason why I brought you to this place is why I even went to great lengths to lock the two of us in this confined space. I want to tell you something that is not convenient for others to know, so...who do you think I am guarding against?"
"I don't know."
Mo Tan without thinking gave an answer that theoretically did not satisfy Lu Wei, and while the latter raised his eyebrows, he added: "And I think you don't know it yourself."
"Oh?"
Master Lu, who was about to curse a few words, suddenly lit up and asked with interest: "What's the reason?"
"There are many reasons, but the most important thing is the warning you just gave me."
Mo Tan smiled, but his face became more solemn: "You asked me not to trust anyone. Cordoba is called the safest place in the world, which is enough to prove that what you are wary of is not a single person, but a rather large group. Not only that, that group may also have extraordinary status, such as Some of the people who can come into contact with me quickly also have powerful powers, such as intelligence gathering capabilities that make you feel at ease only if you use this blocking stance."
Lu Wei snorted and spit out. A puff of light blue second-hand smoke said angrily: "After all, you have already guessed it, right?"
"You are an excellent and aloof person, although you have an approachable personality. On the one hand, there are not many people who will be vigilant from the heart. In other words, only those existences recognized by you will be qualified to let you set up defenses."
Mo Tan raised his right hand and pressed it. On the table, he leaned forward slightly and said his guess with stern eyes: "So if my prediction is correct, you are not wary of a certain person, but you have the same situation as you in this Tianzhu Mountain." The only people whose status and authority are recognized by you in terms of strength...are probably the only high-level observers including Mr. Hao, Mr. Lessard, and Mr. Noyce."
"Well, to put it simply, that's what it is."
Lu Wei said this calmly, without sighing in his heart with the core idea of 'this kid is so smart' Hundreds of words, because according to his evaluation of Mo Tan, the latter had the quality to guess this in a short time, so he casually After uncovering it, he continued: "So, when you came to Tianzhu Mountain this time, you should have discovered some important information that we need to know urgently, right? Is it related to the prophecy?"
Mo Tan nodded without hesitation. He nodded and said softly: "Yes, in fact, I think I have mastered some very key things. , and according to the content of the prophecy that Mr. Long told me before, it should be something that Tianzhu Mountain is very concerned about."
"Tsk, tsk, light and shadow apocalypse... light and shadow apocalypse..."
Lu. Wei smacked his lips, leaned lazily on the chair and snorted, and said angrily: "To be honest, I just like I am not interested in tinkering with various machines at all. You should also know that no matter where they are, people who study technology are often the least likely to believe in such illusory things as 'prophecies' and 'myths', because in In our eyes, it is ridiculous to accept things that cannot be proven as true.”
Mo Tan looked at Lu Wei in surprise and asked curiously: "Master Lu Wei, do you think so?"
"Unfortunately, I don't think so."
Lu A hint of imperceptible helplessness flashed through Wei's eyes, and he shook his head and said: "In fact, like other high-level observers, I firmly believe in the authenticity of the light and shadow apocalypse. Why do you think I want to waste so many words with you? If you If it weren’t for the prophesied light of apocalypse, I wouldn’t even allow you and your friends to enter the Seventh Outer Mountain, even if you are Cordoba’s friends.”
Mo Tan did not reveal it after hearing this. The slightest surprise did not produce any dissatisfaction. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said sincerely: "I think so too." It is incompatible with ordinary players and even NPCs. Except for the No. 1 Outer Mountain that remains open to the outside world all year round, everything Mo Tan sees here is a bit too 'out of the circle', as if you are entering the first place in a certain game. Zhou Shi accidentally entered a super high-level map that would take at least several years to enter due to a bug, and something was wrong everywhere.
Now, nearly a year after entering the trap, the more Mo Tan investigates this place, the more he feels that it is unfathomable. It has connections with the Holy Religion Alliance, the Adventurers Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Mages Guild, Organizations such as the Wanderer Hotel are different. Although Tianzhu Mountain does have something in common with these powerful forces from a certain perspective, it is a complete mystery.
The most important point is that there is no so-called origin of Tianzhu Mountain. Perhaps through investigation, people can know who was the owner of the first Wanderer Hotel, who established the Mage Guild, and who created the miracle. Who is the person in the city, who is the person who integrated the many adventurers, who is the person who founded the Thieves Guild, but there has never been any record of how Tianzhu Mountain came about in that period of history.
It seems that since the first year of the Holy Calendar, which has almost become a lost era, leaving only a few trivial records, that mountain and the people on it have existed in the northwest continent.
In addition, there are various clues that can show the transcendent status of this force. For example, Xia Lian, who is the top figure of Dawn Sect, is taboo about the 'agent' that most people don't know about. Quite deep, although it is definitely not fear, but whether it is 'respect' or 'fear', there is a little bit of it.
In terms of deeds, there is very little reliable information that can be found. The only fact that can be confirmed is what Fimiguel told Mo Tan at that time. The arrogant Sun Dynasty in the past defeated the Dragon Clan from the front. , after it fell apart and turned into a piece of loose sand, because he hit the master of Tianzhu Mountain, The intention was to evaporate from the capital area overnight. The method is unknown, but it feels like it should be something that is infinitely close to the 'Meteor Escape' and the 'Wanben Cannon'. For generations, the great dynasty that had not even been impossible to unify the continent was ended.
So under normal circumstances, even if a player can get involved with Tianzhu Mountain, if they don't go to the First Outer Mountain to play in the arena, it will probably take them a few years, and it also depends on luck.
As a result, Mo Tan came to this place not long after entering the trap. If Lu Wei was considered, he had seen four people with the highest authority at the high-level agent level. All of this was Because of his identity as the light of the apocalypse, and the importance Tianzhu Mountain attaches to that prophecy.
Even Lu Wei, a scientific research boss who is a materialist no matter how you look at it, is no exception!
“So, even if you, the light of the apocalypse, are not native to our world, and even if you people from other worlds can appear in this world depending on your own mood, I will not question that prophecy. , in this regard, the attitude of other high-level observers is also the same.”
While filling his pipe with some kind of blue plant powder, Lu Wei smacked his lips and said: "But believing is one thing, but the attitude after believing is another thing. Boy Mo, before the haze Do you remember what I told you? "Mr. Hao said it ambiguously."
Mo Tan frowned slightly and said softly: "He just roughly told me that there are two lights of apocalypse in the prophecy, and I am one of them. In addition, there are two shadows of apocalypse. Although I didn’t listen to everything at the time, judging from the conversation between Mr. Obsidian and Mr. Lessard at that time, it should be some kind of dangerous existence.”
Lu Wei blew out a bolt-like smoke ring and hummed softly: "To be precise, one of the shadows should be very dangerous. Note that the 'danger' here is defined by our Tianzhu Mountain. It is a dangerous thing in our cognition. Don't think of it Compared with the small matter of tens or millions of people dying at most.”
“I don’t think the risk of tens or millions of people dying is a small thing.”
Mo Tan said simply, without any dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was simply stating the facts.
"Everyone has a different view on this matter, so you don't need to be more serious with me. Of course, I don't think you intend to be more serious with me."
Lu Wei twitched the corner of his mouth carelessly. , and then continued: "In short, in the prophecy Among the four apocalypses, one will cause a huge disaster. No, calling it a disaster may be too one-sided. According to the content of the language, the shadow of the apocalypse will cause subversive changes to the entire world. "
Mo Tan's face immediately became solemn, and subconsciously He asked: "So?"
"So Tianzhu Mountain tried to intervene in this matter from the beginning. After all, the prophecy itself is not absolute. In other words, the reason why it appears is Because there is a possibility of being rewritten.”
Lu Wei stared into Mo Tan's eyes and said word by word: "And the reason why you came here this time is probably because you have some... quite important information about this aspect, right? I mean, Yuan Biko The results of those investigations in Erdova were much stronger.”
Mo Tan did not answer, but nodded silently.
“Then, now I’ll give you a second warning, boy Mo.”
Lu Wei took a deep breath from his pipe and knocked it gently on the table: “Listen more and ask more questions. , say less.”
Although these seemed to be three warnings instead of one, Mo Tan did not bother with this linguistic problem. He just asked briefly and concisely: "Why?"
"That's a long story."
Lu Wei shrugged and said leisurely: "Instead of asking me directly, you might as well think about the first warning I gave you before."
Hearing this, Mo Tan immediately trembled and his eyes widened. Said: "Master Lu Wei, what you mean is that in Tianzhu Mountain there is..."
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Lu Wei raised his hand to interrupt Mo Tan, Turning his attention to the gate that separates the compartment from the outside world: "I just made a slight assumption that all fourteen people, including me, would be content with the status quo and hope to continue to maintain this balance. As a result, But he's not very optimistic."
Mo Tan nodded slightly. Although he didn't know what was hidden in this matter, he already understood what Lu Wei meant.
"Listen up, kid."
Lu Wei was very satisfied with his reaction and said in a brisk tone: "In this world, our Tianzhu Mountain can affect too many things, and we can affect There are too few things going to our Tianzhu Mountain. As I said just now, everyone has different views on things, so their attitude towards the same thing may also be biased, especially in this kind of situation. Before a very special situation that rarely happens in ten thousand years."
Mo Tan still just listened quietly, with no intention of answering, because he knew very well that Master Lu in front of him could say these words. I'm afraid it won't be easy.
“My situation is quite special, and I am not a high-level observer, so my perspective on things may be different from theirs. That’s why I think of things that others can’t think of. I called you here in advance to give such a terrible warning."
Lu Wei stood up slowly, walked slowly to Mo Tan, and patted him gently on the shoulder." By the way, that person also includes me, of course, not the me who is talking to you now.”
"You..."
"My attitude is relatively correct for the time being, but there is a very fatal problem."
"What is it?"
"Then It’s just the curiosity of a scientific researcher”
“Hmm…”
"So even if you are facing me who is giving you advice, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Again, listen more, ask more and speak less."
"Yes, Master Lu Wei . ”
“Let’s go out, it’s almost time.”
