Start with the Readers Chapter 46: Mechanical Codex

That's right, they speak Loen language, so amazing!

Abner made a boring remark in his heart, he didn't believe a single word of what the seemingly "honest" black mecha man in front of him said.

In fact, when he first entered "Morning Star City", he discovered the language problem of the city's residents.

Generally speaking, most of the residents located in the middle and lower layers of the mountain mastered the ancient Fusac language or Hermes language, and the "Machine Emperor" obviously also popularized these two languages.

The more mature and complicated "Loen language" is only known by people who live near the cloud top platform and the high tower... It is also the "Morning Star Elegant Words" that the black mecha man said just now.

In addition, this language is now a status symbol. If you want to settle in Yunding District, in addition to a certain level of meritorious service, enough energy points, and a property with a specified area, "Morning Star Elegant Words" is also an important assessment. For the project, you must pass the level 4 level of the language proficiency test to be eligible to become a resident of Yunding District and enjoy a series of additional benefits.

Such regulations were promulgated one hundred years after the fall of the morning star. At first, they had the purpose of stimulating demand and enlivening the atmosphere in the city...but gradually they became synonymous with the status of "upper class"...

If the middle and lower classes want to learn "elegant words", they have to pay a high price.

The Lazar mentioned earlier, the reason why he can still live in Yunding District due to his poor financial situation is because he has lived long enough. Apart from mastering certain mechanical skills, he also knows "elegant words". When there is a lack of energy points, a small class will be held privately...

——Not all people who have undergone mechanical transformation can live as long as two hundred years. Just look at Lazar's broken left foot in Yunding District, which has no money to replace. The materials used will only be worse, and once the important parts are damaged, death is inevitable.

Of the 10,000 residents in "Morning Star City" today, only 30% have experienced the glory days before "Morning Star Falls", but the strange thing is that even newborns still love the "Mechanical Emperor" after they grow up. "With deep faith.

It may have something to do with education, but there may be something deeper.

"The 'Machinist' was Dennett all his life. Even if he didn't teach the Dutan language of the Southern Continent, he should define the Fenepot language or Lemburg language as the so-called 'elegant language'? How to choose? A Loen language?

"Of course, between Dennett and the 'Emperor of Mechanics' Ivans, there may have been many lives that didn't last long and left no trace... Could it be that there are more Loen people here, so He... no, it's 'I' who will be impressed by this language?"

While thinking wildly, Abner once again set his sights on the statue of the "Machine Emperor".

As I said before, Abner didn't believe the so-called "elegant words" of the black mecha man Olmos. If he really trusted himself because of this, the other party would not be so vigilant at first.

What changed his attitude was probably the "salute" action, and the yellow stone on the top of the statue's head that was fused with Extraordinary characteristics.

However, this information was not recorded in the "information" extracted from the residents' "database" before...

They don't know anything about "salute", but after the "statue" makes that action, they instinctively "return"! This is very abnormal!

After observing quietly, Abner had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm.

As for the yellow stone that incorporates the characteristics, it is also very strange. The spiritual remnant on it does not come from the Extraordinary characteristics, but the stone itself... It seems that the stone is the "corpse" body of the "Machine Emperor".

"I don't know if Alvin or the "God of Luck" is cremated, will there be such a thing... What is it? A relic?"

After muttering a few words in his heart, Abner manipulated the "statue" and put himself back on the ground. He ignored the man in black armor's words about "elegant words", and said instead:

"I was ordered to come to 'Morning Star City' this time. Apart from bringing my lord's decree, I also inspected you..."

Speaking, he deliberately looked around and ended the "salute" people, and continued, "I am gratified that you have not forgotten the glory of the Lord."

Although Abner didn't know what the "salute" gesture specifically meant, he could guess from the changes in the attitudes of the three committee members that it might be a "secret signal"... What's more, what he said only said that everyone He did not forget the glory of the "Machine Emperor", and did not directly connect the two. Even if there is a deviation, it can be explained by other reasons.

Hearing this, Annick in the shape of "Robocop" immediately said: "'Morning Star City' will always believe in the 'Machine Emperor', and all heretics have been wiped out in the Battle of the Fallen."

After expressing his position, he changed the topic and asked again: "I don't know what orders the emperor wants you to convey to us?"

Abner smiled, looked in the direction of the tower, but did not speak. As for what it meant, let the other party figure it out.

After all, how can he have any orders? He came here entirely to find out what arrangements he had in his previous life. If the protection system of the central tower was not too advanced, it would be impossible to get in. Why would he need to pretend to be a ghost in public?

Seeing this, the three members of the highest jury communicated again using the built-in encrypted shortwave.

"Olmos, what do you think? Is the words of this envoy trustworthy?" Annick Splinter asked first.

Although Olmos's black mech looks the most powerful, people subconsciously think that he is in charge of combat power, but in fact, he is the most intelligent person in the entire "Morning Star City".

"You've already called him 'God Envoy', why are you still asking me for my opinion?" Olmos's short wave was much more vivid than the external electronic sound, and even made the other two hear a wry smile "What's more, he can actually influence the statue of the 'Mechanical Emperor' and send out telecasts!

"You should know that after the Great Emperor's fall... no, it should be after returning to the throne of God, the soul broadcast only sounded once... that is, when the 'Morning Star Falls'... After that, we entered this nightmare afternoon town inexplicably Among."

Eleanor's avatar who looked like a little girl followed and said, "Yes, I'm afraid only the three of us remember the scene when the 'Morning Star Falls'... and the 'spiritual broadcast' that sounded when the city fell apart.

"According to the envoy, it is likely that the great emperor who has returned to the throne sensed our crisis, so he saved us and his believers... You two should be very clear that although we wiped out the 'true creator' ', but there are still many people who believe in that evil **** in the city, but they have not been able to enter this strange town, and have not been able to enter this still intact dream 'Morning Star'... They are very big Probability has already died with the crashed Morning Star City more than two hundred years ago.

"So, my point of view is that 'psychic broadcasting' will not deceive people. Since the emperor clearly wants us to obey the orders of this envoy, we don't need to question it."

Annick Splinter pondered for a few seconds, then asked again with the short wave: "Could the 'spiritual broadcast' be the trigger effect of the statue after performing the 'Supreme Glory Etiquette' action?

"Although few people know this etiquette, among the people who have experienced the reign of the Great Emperor, there may be some people who still remember..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Eleanor: "Not to mention that people in the city will never betray the emperor and tell outsiders important information... Even if the envoy uses special means to obtain this information, but how could he know that the 'highest honor' is the condition for the 'Statue of the Great Emperor' to issue a 'spiritual broadcast'?

"This is a secret that even the three of us don't know!

"What's more, except for the envoy, who of you can drive the armor statue left by the emperor? And we all know that the indelible spirit of the emperor is still left in that piece of yellow gemstone. We have guessed from a long time ago His old man has not really fallen.

"And now the appearance of the envoy of God just confirms this point."

Her words obviously convinced Annick, who nodded invisibly. After all, the statue of the Great Emperor has only been activated once in two hundred years, and it was because a monster sneaked in when the "night barrier" was closed... Its activation was also the automatic defense of the floating city, not driven by the three of them.

In fact, Annick didn't really doubt Abner's identity, he just listed all the possibilities out of caution.

"In that case, let's vote... Do you want to trust him and bring him into the central tower? It can be seen that the mission target of the envoy is likely to be in the tower! Well, I vote for it Tickets." Annick said calmly.

"I also agree... You should have noticed that the Envoy of God still holds the "Mechanical Codex" in his hand... The mission of this Lord Abner is probably related to it.

"And the 'Morning Star City' really needs the return of the "Mechanical Canon,"" the black mech man Olmos also voted in favor.

They need the "Book of Mechanics" not because the ordinary residents of Lazar imagined that they need the potion formula in it. "supply.

The fact that "Morning Star City" has not produced a new "Alchemist" for two hundred years is not because there is no formula, but because it does not have the ritual conditions to extract the "life force" of an area required for promotion.

After all, there is no vitality in Nightmare Afternoon Town.

"Of course I agree! Maybe... maybe the mission of the envoy ~IndoMTL.com~ is to bring us to a bright world." Eleanor chose to agree without the slightest hesitation.

What a bright world...the two men lost their minds for a second, and then Olmos and Eleanor led Abner to enter the identity information and enter the tower;

Annick stayed temporarily to appease the gathered crowd, and repaired their audio and listening devices.

…

On the other side, as soon as Abner walked into the tower accompanied by two "alchemists", he saw a very high altar in the middle of the first floor, but the top of the altar seemed to be A piece was missing, forming a groove, and its missing shape was exactly the same as the "gear book" in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Abner remembered that Klein's introduction to the imitation of the "floating city" in the underground space of Nas also focused on describing such an altar.

Is the "beacon of destiny" important? Abner's heart suddenly moved, and he had some guesses.

Then, after greeting the two "alchemists", he jumped into the air and put the "gear book" into the groove corresponding to the altar.
