Chapter 549 Join
Although in Duanmuhuai's view, the Migo scientific research station is not valuable,
In this world, there is only one player, Duanmu Huai. Maybe this is the first Migo scientific research station to be fully harvested. Not only did Duanmu Huai's level be raised to C level, but he was even given a large number of points as rewards. Many special technology projects have also been opened.
But for Duanmuhuai, the most important thing is the Scranton reality anchor.
But………………
"Hmm...how should I trade..."
Looking at the project content on the computer screen, Duanmu Huai also fell into deep thought. , one is to directly exchange points for purchase. After all, the Reality Stabilizer itself is a consumable item. If you just use it, it is not a troublesome thing.
It's like going to a gun store to buy a gun. It may be a bit troublesome, but you can buy it as long as you pay for it.
This is relatively convenient, but Duanmu Huai doesn't like it. Moreover, he wants to fight the evil god and needs to buy reality anchors in large quantities. Maybe you can go to a gun store and buy one or two guns, but you have to buy thousands or tens of thousands. Then you can only find wholesale arms dealers.
Putting aside whether there is such a high output, Duanmu Huai is not willing to entrust such a life-and-death matter to other forces.
Another way is, of course, to buy a blueprint and then make it yourself.
This consumes more points - of course, consumption is not what Duanmuhuai is worried about. What he is worried about is whether he can produce this thing with the technology of the Tribunal.
Players in the game are not fools. There are also many people who have exchanged the blueprints for reality anchors and plan to make them themselves. But in the end they all failed due to technical or raw material reasons. Later, some players tried their best to explore the secret,
To put it simply, if you can obtain "mechanism", then creating a reality anchor will not be a problem.
But conversely, if there is no "mechanism", it will be very difficult to create a reality anchor
Of course, players are not easily fooled.
Although there are not no players who hope to obtain "Deus Ex Machina" through formal or informal means, it is a pity that this seems to be top secret. Players have used many methods but have not been able to obtain further information about "Deus Ex Machina".
Among Duanmu Huai's current scientific researchers, Xue Li specializes in biotechnology, Lumi Er specializes in electronic technology, and Lani specializes in magic and astronomy. There are no experts in physics at all. Even if they take the blueprint back, they will only Kukulu and Maria, who were making weapons, would probably just stare at this thing.
After all, it's okay to ask them to build a cannon, an airplane, or something like that. When it comes to things like the eleventh dimension and the hourglass of reality, it's probably no different to them than listening to the Bible.
If that doesn’t work, why don’t you just go and have a look?
Although the player did not get "Deus Ex Machina" at the end of the game, they did know that "Deus Ex Machina" was located in a secret base under Yellowstone Park. Duanmu Huai thought that if it really didn't work, he would go there secretly - after all, with the Heart of the Blood Crow, maybe he could "borrow" it without anyone noticing?
"Dong dong dong."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then the maid came over.
"Master, Miss Mary is here."
"Oh? Let her in."
"Yes."
Soon, Mary came to the study, her expression seemed a little serious and a little nervous.
"What do you want here today?"
Duanmuhuai looked at Mary curiously and asked. Mary, on the other hand, hesitated and was silent for a moment before speaking.
"I would like to ask...can I join the Tribunal?"
"Oh? Weren't you hesitant before?"
"Although this is indeed the case, but...what happened at Baskerville Manor made me realize...that this world is actually very dangerous."
As she spoke, Mary looked at Duanmuhuai.
"To be honest, I used to think that I was in a very peaceful and ordinary world, but... in fact, this world is also dangerous, right?"
In any case, after experiencing the Dark City, the Shoggoths in Antarctica and the Demon Dog Incident in Baskerville, Mary would never think that this was just an accident no matter how innocent she was.
"Of course there is danger."
"Then...as long as I join the Tribunal, can I gain the power to eliminate these threats?"
"If you want it, of course you need to practice...but why do you seem to have suddenly changed your mind?"
Duanmuhuai looked at Mary curiously. He remembered that Mary was hesitant before.
"Because...I don't want to put my friends in danger."
Mary hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice. This was also the conclusion she came to in annoyance after coming back. Just like before, if Duanmu Huai and Lorena were not here, would they be in danger if they were invited to Baskerville Manor? Mary would not say that she would never encounter him. In fact, Charlie had encountered him once before, but she had forgotten it.
Although Mary also knew that if she did dangerous work, her friends would be worried, but considering that there are so many unknown dangers in this world, she felt that instead of waiting to deal with them before encountering them like before, It is better to take the initiative to learn the corresponding methods, so that even if you encounter danger, you can still protect your friends from harm.
So in the end, she decided to join the Inquisition.
"Whether it's fighting or anything else, as long as I can work hard to do it, I will definitely do it!"
Looking at Mary who is so serious, to be honest, Duanmu Huai feels a little troublesome, but if Mary is willing to join...
"Are you sure? Does that mean you want to be trained by Lorena?"
"…………Huh?"
Hearing this, Mary's facial expression suddenly stiffened - well, it's understandable that normal people can't accept Lorena's Spartan-style exercise method. Even in the trial court, no one dares to compete with her. This is why we train together.
"Just kidding, you can also choose other training methods."
After all, ordinary people can't do the kind of exercises Lorena does, and even Duanmuhuai would be grateful.
"Huh..."
Mary breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if she was really asked to learn from Lorena, then she would probably have to consider whether she could come back alive.
"Then...what should I do?"
"Hmm..."
Hearing Mary's inquiry, Duanmuhuai was a little hard to decide for a while, but it happened...
"Anyway, let me take you back to the trial court first."
"Hey? Do you need me to make any preparations?"
"No need, just come with me."
For Duanmu Huai, returning to the Tribunal was a matter of opening a portal. Of course, for Mary, when she stepped through the portal, she saw this magnificent, giant metal building full of Gothic style and The unexpected scenery outside had completely stunned her.
"In short, you go watch the video first and then talk about the rest after watching it."
Duanmuhuai signaled the maid to take the dumbfounded Mary to the screening room to experience the "corporate culture" of the Tribunal. At the same time, he turned off the system prompt in front of him——[Do I need to settle special mission points? 】
Of course, this few points are not enough for ten consecutive rounds, so settlement is useful.
"Ah, my lord, welcome back."
At this moment, Audrey also came over and saluted Duanmuhuai.
"Well, Audrey, I haven't seen you for a while. Is there anything you need to report?"
"Yes, reports about Colonel Shepard of the Star Alliance."
"Oh?"
Duanmuhuai took the document handed over by Audrey and started to read it. To put it simply, this is a report from the two Shepard siblings. According to their reports, not long ago, a ghost agent rebelled within the Citadel Council. After tracking it, they found that this ghost agent had been brainwashed by the Collector. , in the end, the other party even controlled a Collector warship to attack the Citadel... Of course, they were eventually repelled by the Shepard siblings, the brainwashed ghost agent was killed, and the warship was also destroyed.
But the problem is that the Citadel Council does not agree with their investigation report, believing that the Collector warship is just a product of Geth and has nothing to do with the legendary Reapers... The Shepards are also speechless about this... ………
"Hmph, if the council wants to die, let them go. It's better if you don't believe it."
After reading the report, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. As a judge, he originally had the idea of using the reaper's knife to eliminate all other races in the Citadel Council. Now that the Citadel Council is looking for death, it would be better. When the reaper army attacks, the destruction of this group of idiots will be purely self-inflicted and has nothing to do with the Inquisition.
After all, the Shepard siblings have already warned them, and whether they like to hear it or not is their own business.
In other words, it’s better not to listen. After all, when the Reaper army arrives, the Citadel Council will not be able to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Star Alliance. Of course, when the reaper army comes, it won't be Duanmuhuai's business whether they can make excuses or not - it's useless for dead people to make excuses.
The Inquisition only cares about humans, and the life and death of races other than humans is none of his business? Duanmu Huai had no intention of helping those stupid aliens in the Citadel Council.
By the way, the Inquisition also sought help from the Inquisition when the Citadel was attacked, but because most of the races on the Citadel Council were aliens, the Inquisition fleet was not moved at all. After all, the Inquisition has not joined the Citadel Council. What does their life and death have to do with the Inquisition? The Inquisition would not be stupid enough to run out and let the Reapers see their cards.
But when he saw Audrey next to him, Duanmu Huai remembered something boring.
"By the way, Audrey, I remember you are considered a noble lady."
"Huh? Ah...yes...what's wrong?"
"Do you noble ladies have many troublesome rules?" Duanmu Huaike still remembered that Mary's two good friends grabbed him and complained a lot, but to be honest, he had met many noble ladies. Well, to be honest, I don’t think there are any particularly troublesome rules at all.
Or does it differ from world to world?
An... Forget it An, although she is the princess, she is just a crazy girl in front of Duanmu Huai.
On the contrary, Audrey almost became a duchess, and she was considered a noble lady similar to Mary, but Duanmuhuai always felt that Audrey didn't have as many rules as Mary.
"Ah, yes, there are very strict rules on thresholds, how to dress when going out, how to speak and behave at social banquets, etc. I have also received similar education since I was a child..."
"Why can't I feel it?"
"Because, sir, you will rarely attend banquets, and even if you attend banquets, no one will pay too much attention to your etiquette..."
After all, the strength is there, and no noble with brains will interfere with or criticize the etiquette of a dragon-slaying warrior who can kill a dragon alone - not to mention that Duanmu Huai doesn't look like a good-tempered person. If you say you are unhappy and slap you on the spot, you are asking for it.
"The nobles are really troublesome."
"Ahahaha... For ordinary nobles, etiquette is very important, but for adults and princesses, it is not so important..."
That's right. As the strongest magic princess in Manalia, no one dares to criticize her behavior. In the final analysis, it still depends on strength.
Having said that, An has been staying in the world of Duel City recently to help Gu Leiya promote the construction of the Dragon Kingdom, and she is so happy that she doesn't want to come back.
Is it really okay for her to be like this?
Forget it, there is nothing that needs her help for the time being.
Just as Duanmuhuai and Audrey were chatting, there was a knock on the door, and then the maid walked in with Mary, who looked blank and looked like she had been brainwashed.
“………………What’s wrong?”
"This is how Miss Mary reacted after reading it."
"...How should I put it? It seems understandable, but it feels a bit exaggerated."
Duanmuhuai also sighed helplessly when he looked at Mary's expression, which looked like she had been brainwashed and hypnotized. To be honest, sometimes people in the modern world have the worst ability to accept this kind of thing. You see, people like An, Gu Leiya and Lorena have very strong ability to accept things. After all, there are so many strange things in the magical world. There are all, and some space theories are even more complete than the ordinary scientific world...
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and clapped his hands.
"Pa bang bang."
"Huh?"
At this moment, Mary seemed to have just come back to her senses, her eyes widened in surprise - well, it was much better than the way she was wandering around like she was being hypnotized and brainwashed to do whatever she wanted.
"Recovered?"
"Ah, yes, that...please forgive me for being rude, is this all...really?"
"It's normal to have doubts, but it's true. If you still can't believe it, I can take you to Starlink."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
Mary waved her hands desperately, and at the same time her expression became stiffer.
"This, this...I don't know how to say it, but is it really useful for people like me? I mean...well, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, but I think I might not be able to do it. Good…………”
However, before Mary could finish her words, she was interrupted by Duanmu Huai.
"Needless to say, I invite you on the one hand because the Tribunal is short of manpower, and on the other hand the Tribunal really needs your ability. Maybe in your opinion, your ability is nothing special, it's just that you haven't used it correctly. Facts Your abilities are quite useful to the Inquisition.”
This is not a lie. Mary's problem is that the power of the golden eye is so strong that she doesn't notice how strong it is.
To put it simply, it is like a person who has a forbidden magic field around him, and all magic cannot take effect within his field of vision, so he thinks that there is no magic in the world, and naturally he does not feel that he has any particularly powerful power.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, the golden eye actually has similar power.
"Is it...is it? But I think..."
"Of course, this won't work now, you also need to train."
"Yes..."
Hearing this, Mary was somewhat relieved. How should I put it? Judging from her appearance, Duanmuhuai could guess a little bit. Before coming here, Mary probably thought that the Tribunal was an organization similar to the Men in Black. Completely Unexpectedly, it would be a giant chain enterprise across star clusters? Of course, this concept may still be too far-reaching for her.
"Excuse me, what kind of training should I do?"
"Hmm..."
After hearing Mary's question, Duanmuhuai thought for a while.
"Firearm training, close combat training, and magic training depending on the situation..."
"Magic?!"
Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really, is there really magic?!"
"Uh... Of course there is, but you don't need to be so excited. To be honest, using magic in your world is actually very dangerous."
Seeing the excited Mary, Duanmuhuai was a little surprised, but not surprised either.
How should I put it... Girls just like this kind of dreamy stuff.
"Can I learn magic too?"
"Depending on the situation, it should be fine."
Seeing Mary's excitement, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly, but he could understand.
But... practicing magic is not as simple as Mary imagined.
"Simply put, actual combat is the most important."
In Duanmu Huai's camp, there are only a few people who can be responsible for teaching magic. An is not good enough. She is too talented. Even the students at Manalia College can't understand what she is talking about most of the time, let alone teach them. Mary, who knew nothing about magic, took the class.
Although Shitsuka is also an excellent magician, she said that her ability is too far behind and she is not good at teaching in this area.
So the only thing left was——Lani.
Well, she was originally the Princess of the Moon and the creator of Dark Moon Magic, so Duanmu Huai took Mary to find Lani.
The latter looked at Mary and then gave the answer.
"Actual combat?"
"Yes, Dark Moon Magic itself is not difficult. It is easy to learn, but practical training is necessary."
"You put it that way...is it really that easy?"
"Just want to learn how to use magic. It's very simple."
As she spoke, Lani stretched out her hand and placed a scroll in front of Duanmu Huai and Mary.
"As long as you use this scroll, you can learn how to use magic."
"If it can be learned so easily, what are the magic schools teaching?"
Duanmuhuai didn't forget that he went to Real Lucalia Magic Academy for a tour.
"Of course it is the basic knowledge of magic. After all, magicians are not just good at using magic. They also need to learn the basics, analysis, analysis and research of magic. What you get from others is only rigid spells and knowledge after all. Even if Tell you how to use this magic, you don’t know how to use other magic.”
"That's true."
Just like people who drive cars don't need to learn how to build a car, it doesn't take too long to get a driver's license, but if you have to learn how to build a car from scratch, that's another matter.
In fact, Duanmu Huai can also use magic himself, and directly uses magic cards. Although he also studied at Manalia Magic Academy for a period of time, he only learned how to use magic, allowing him to create his own magic like An. Duanmu Huai naturally doesn't have the ability.
"Then leave it to you?"
"Well, leave it to me."
At this time, Duanmuhuai still doesn't know what it will become in the end.
