Chapter 288 The shadow under the core ruins
"Yes, that's him." Li Ming nodded, turning left and right all the way to the door of his studio.
Monroe was in a daze, his processor was running at high speed. While collecting metal materials during this period, he also had a little understanding of the current situation.
I learned that Grand Duke Guya was assassinated and his life and death are still uncertain.
Due to certain things, he paid special attention to Grand Duke Gu Ya, and further learned that the assassin was a terrible assassin named "Dark Night".
He didn't expect to see each other here.
And, more importantly, he was actually very polite to Qinglong.
Everything in front of him made him confused. The last time he came into contact with Qinglong, it was the other party who was dormant under Ulrich and did something secretly.
How long has it been?
"Okay, just put it here." Li Ming waved his hand.
While the Monroe processor was running at high speed, the metal materials he brought had been transported. After putting them down, the staff left carefully.
Opening the door, the two robots Thunder and Tepper came out and carried things in. They guarded the studio around the clock.
Li Ming is looking forward to it. He is currently short of metal energy.
Monroe followed in, looked around, and removed the mimic camouflage on his body, revealing the mechanical body that was almost completely eroded by green nanoworms.
It was almost as fast as when Li Ming first saw the other person lying in the liquid tank.
"Where's Sabo?"
Li Ming was counting the metal materials and asked casually.
Monroe brought the same metal plates mixed with star core fragments as before, totaling 120 pieces. He was very familiar with this material, and one piece contained half a million metal energy.
It can extract about 60 million metal energy, and I don’t know where Monro comes from so many of the same materials.
"Sabo is afraid?" Monroe seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect Qinglong to still remember Sabo. "When I came here, I asked him to leave the Red River Star Stream. The area around here has not been peaceful recently."
Li Ming nodded, 50 million was used for repairs, and 10 million was used as labor expenses, which was just right...
Then, he asked his two mechanical guards to transport all the metal materials into the left side of the studio. In a sealed cabin.
Let Munro wait here for a moment, he walked in and began to absorb the metal energy.
These metal plates are relatively expensive and not large in size. It only took him half a day to absorb them.
It was almost as he expected, absorbing a total of 60 million metal energy.
Coming out of the sealed cabin, Monroe looked at him immediately. His nervous system, which had been almost eroded by the nano-curse, was overloaded.
"Even these metal materials are unlikely to be repaired well." Li Ming noticed that the Star King was getting excited and took a precaution in advance.
"I understand that after recovering to a certain extent, I can also curb its spread. In that case, I will have enough time to collect more materials." Menluo explained.
Li Ming was stunned, and then said: "Sir Monro, I still follow the old rules, I will cut off your central control system."
"No problem." I had an experience. Luo Ziran didn't resist at all, but took the initiative to cut off the control system.
After Li Ming made sure that he was offline, he stretched out his hand and covered his body.
As the metal energy gushes out, an invisible ripple gradually spreads with his finger as the center, and the surrounding green nanoworms die on the spot as if they have encountered some natural enemy.
And the rotten, pitted body was gradually repaired until it was as clean as new.
"Having been transformed to this point, can he still be called a human being?" Li Ming's thoughts were scattered. Monroe in this state was equivalent to a person who had taken out his brain.
Normal life forms will definitely die forever, but for mechanical transformations, they are just temporarily offline.
He must not be able to accept this kind of transformation, and it has become no different from the mechanical body under his hand.
Time passes minute by minute, two hours later.
The pupils of the Munro machine lying on the metal plate suddenly lit up and began to run at high speed. Sparks of energy shot out from all parts of the mechanical body, and the engine in the chest hummed.
The metal cover on the left forearm was lifted up, and a black energy cannon popped out. An energy generator extended out of the palm, forming a purple lightsaber.
Two ray turrets also rose on the shoulders, and the left hand quickly deformed and was continuously assembled into various melee weapons.
The smooth metal back bounced off a large number of micro-propellers, and then quickly converged. The entire mechanical body continued to spread, assemble, and deform.
There are almost no green traces visible on the surface of the body, and only some traces remain on the crotch and calves.
Monroe was familiar with his body, and the system was conducting various self-tests. The report that came in made him marvel:
“It’s really amazing, 74% complete. Sex, unimaginable technology, I have the ability to stop the spread of the nano-curse."
Monroe was very excited, and Li Ming was also very satisfied, having received another 10 million metal energy.
"Congratulations to Mr. Monroe for regaining his life." Li Ming smiled.
"Thank you also." Monroe's attitude was more polite, even solemn: "Your Excellency's help, Monroe will always remember."
"You're welcome." Li Ming's eyes He flashed slightly, then asked curiously: "Did your peak strength reach that of an S-class life form?"
"Hmm..." Monroe muttered: "There is no judgment on the strength of mechanical transformation bodies. Clear boundaries. "
"All the modified components on my body are made of A-grade materials. Theoretically, I should be an A-grade life form. However, due to the special characteristics of the mechanical modified body, if I am With a loaded energy engine, it can exert its strength far beyond that of an A-level life form.”
"But facing a true S-class genetic evolution, it's a bit unsatisfying."
It's a quasi-S. Li Ming gave a simple and rough definition, and then deliberately asked: "The one who fights with you That Reiner was probably not an S-class life form at that time."
"Rena!" Monroe's face suddenly darkened, his mechanical pupils were running at high speed, and he snorted: "He was not an S-class life form. The body itself is not my opponent, if not for the underhanded trick of Nano Curse..."
Monroe obviously hates Reina very much. After all, he has been tortured for more than forty years, and life is worse than death.
"Oh..." Li Ming looked thoughtful. Only then did Monroe react and hesitated: "Why did you suddenly mention Reina?"
"Because he is now an S-class life form, and he has been involved in the vortex of the core ruins of the Ascendants." Li Ming explained casually.
"S-class life form?" Monroe's face changed slightly and his voice was cold, "It seems that he has gained a lot of benefits over the years."
"He is still following Gu Grand Duke Ya?" Monroe asked again.
"Yes..." Li Ming nodded and couldn't help but ask: "At that time, Grand Duke Gu Ya was worried about the [Material Recombination Maker] in your hand."
"Part of the reason... "Monroe pondered, looked at Qinglong, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, the situation at that time was very complicated..."
"I am not a living being from the Corona Borealis star ring." Munro's pupils reflected a picture, which was a very complicated star map that continued to spread and finally became fixed.
"Haindis--is a star cluster-level civilization. In the Sea of Stars, there are many star cluster-level civilizations. It is known as the birthplace of the next empire-level civilization. Therefore, the Star Abyss Empire and the Everlasting Federation , all there to arrange means to prevent the birth of the next empire-level civilization. "
"For some reasons, my civilization was indirectly destroyed by the Xingyuan Empire. My father and I were displaced. During this period, I became more and more homeless. The gene seeds were removed, and the path to genetic evolution was blocked..." Li Ming couldn't help but said: "You are not a prince, a noble exile, or the like, seeking revenge from the Xingyuan Empire, or reviving civilization."
Monroe shook his head: "No, I'm just an insignificant civilian, let alone the lofty goals you mentioned."
That's about right... Li Ming muttered, feeling that there were too many exiled nobles in the interstellar world, and four or five of them could be killed with one brick.
Monroe continued: "I have been wandering among the stars for several years. My father died at the hands of a group of interstellar pirates, and I also came to the land of chaos."
"Because of a certain For some very complicated reasons, I was attracted by someone. He seemed to be a star-making mechanic. He made a complete mechanical transformation on me and put me here to build the land of stars."
"Oh?" Li Ming finally became interested, "You used the Land of Stars to pull something from the Red River star stream. Is that what the other party meant?"
"Yes, actually, I I didn’t know what he was trying to do, but he just asked me to do it, and he did it with great fanfare.”
Li Ming guessed it instantly: "He asked you to deliberately attract attention?"
"Yes." Monroe nodded, "Because of my existence, Grand Duke Guya cast his eyes on this place for the first time, even The Bloody Archduke is also contacting me secretly."
"Wait, the Bloody Archduke?" Li Ming caught the keyword and frowned.
Why are these two people again?
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Qinglong's surprised reaction, Munro couldn't help but ask.
“You may not know.” Li Ming knitted his brows, “This time around the fight for the core relics of the Ascendants, it was also the Archduke of Blood and the Archduke of Guya who were behind the scenes.”
< br>"It's them again?" Monroe's eyes narrowed slightly and he mused: "The Star Abyss Empire is divided into three factions. Among the royal families, the Holy Emperor of Glory - Adam is currently the leader.
" Thorn Blood The Grand Duke and the Grand Duke Guya were two princes under the Holy Emperor. Due to their neighboring territories, there was already a lot of friction between them. "
Monroe meant something unclear: "Do you know the person behind me, how do I choose when I face the two of them? ”
Li Ming showed an inquiring expression at the right time.
"Sow discord, try your best to sow discord!" Monroe spat out a few words.
Li Ming took a breath and suddenly realized that there must be something big going on here, and it was a big thing.
"Forging Star Mechanic, An Ye's gun was also made by Forging Star Mechanic..." Li Ming subconsciously thought, could it be the same person?
"Is the one who has the upper hand among the two of them the Grand Duke Guya?" Li Ming asked.
"That's right." Monroe nodded: "Gu Ya is far older than Duke Sanxue. Sanxue belongs to the new aristocracy. There are only so many cakes in the royal family. If he wants to get more, he can only get other people's cakes."
Li Ming murmured: "So let Gu Ya be injured but not die, and let the blood be more greedy..."
Is it really the same person?
He couldn't help but wonder, a game that lasted more than forty years?
Maybe there is more, this is all he knows. The lifespan of advanced life forms is beyond imagination. The two events were only forty years before and after. Even four hundred years is not surprising.
Monroe sighed: "Last time, Archduke Guya did not dispatch S-class life forms, and Archduke Sanxue was limited to contacting me secretly."
"But this time, the competition between them has become more and more obvious. Even S-class life forms were dispatched."
Li Ming thought of the [Material Recombination Maker] and asked, "That maker was also given by him?"
"A bait." Monroe said: "The person behind me doesn't care whose hands the things fall into."
Rich and wealthy... Li Ming sighed.
"But..." At this point, Monroe sneered: "But I have been hanging around in the interstellar for so many years, and it is not in vain. Grand Duke Gu Ya thinks that he can kill me with Reina and the Nano Curse?"
< br>"It's a pity that I escaped at the last moment."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then puzzled: "Since you escaped, why didn't you contact the star-casting mechanic? "
Monroe shook his head, "He just used me as a tool. During the transformation, he implanted many components that restricted me, but the nano-curse corroded them all."
" I am worthless and he may not save me.”
Li Ming had a vague impression of the star-casting mechanic and had a guess at the same time.
This core ruins is also a bureau, right?
"Your Excellency seems to have some ideas about the core ruins?" Monroe looked at the pensive Qinglong and asked tentatively.
"I do have some ideas." Li Ming said calmly.
Monroe hesitated, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I advise you not to take risks. I have a vague feeling that there is a lot involved behind this."
Li Ming just nodded but did not respond.
Monroe didn’t say much. Given the relationship between the two of them, it would be impolite to persuade him.
"What are your plans now?" Li Ming asked instead.
“I don’t have any plans for the time being.” Monroe shook his head, and the mechanical pupils glowed red: “I have some thoughts about Reina.”
Li Ming couldn’t help but be surprised: “Your Excellency just advised me Don’t take risks.”
Monroe shook his head and his voice gradually became colder: "We are different. I have nothing to worry about. The favor that that person helped me has been repaid, and now I naturally want... revenge!"
That's just right... Li Ming He couldn't help but grin.
Monroe calmed down and asked again: "Theo, Ulrich and the others are on the boat?"
"You want to see them?"
Monroe nodded, then hesitated, "If it doesn't interfere with your plan, I do have this idea. Some old things are knotted in my heart."
"That won't interfere." Li Ming shook his head, with a faint smile on his face: "I think they will be very happy to see you again."
Monroe has returned to his human form. , the corners of his mouth also opened.
Li Ming sent a few messages and the two left the studio.
Five minutes later, in the No. 1 conference room of the main ship, Theo and others gathered together, arranged in two rows.
Sandro looked around, feeling uneasy. Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, he finally couldn't help but said: "Why did Qinglong call us here? Who knows?"
"Jessiah?"
No one paid attention to him. Everyone looked calm and had different thoughts.
Finally, after waiting for a few more minutes, everyone turned to look at the conference room door. Qinglong walked in.
