Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

As a sword-wielding nobleman, Chai Shi had never been interested in these businessmen.

If it was Glade who came, even if he was nominally the lord of Eyesocket Town and was on the same level as his master Grace, Chai Shi would not give him a good look.

However, it was Yamudu who represented that one...

'Yes, how could I ignore this...' Chai Shi thought to himself, 'Glade is a member of the merchant guild and was originally Long En's lackey. At first, I just thought it was him who wanted to interfere in the swamp. But I never thought that this might be the wish of the person behind his scenes...'

"Sir, don't be nervous." Yamudou walked slowly in front of him.

Among the three people present, only the envoy was standing. He explained that he was just a humble ordinary attendant and was not qualified to sit with the two adults. He insisted on this.

But it was only when the actual situation came to light that Chai Shi discovered it.

As a result, sitting on the chair, facing the thin Yamudou, I could only look up at him, adding an invisible sense of oppression to my heart.

And, as the only person in the room who can move freely.

Every word, action, and action of Yamoudu seems to be dominating everything.

He is by no means just an ordinary attendant as he said.

This calmness.

He must have been immersed in the upper-class social scene, trained since childhood, and studied for many years to cultivate him - to a certain extent, he is more like an aristocrat than an aristocrat.

Chai Shi's shoulders were held down, and he could only hear a gentle voice coming from above, which seemed inexplicably convincing:

"The president and his wife have been good friends for many years. I heard that the president received a lot of help from his wife at the beginning of his career... To this day, I often miss him, but it's a pity that we are thousands of miles apart. I'm afraid we will rarely have the chance to meet again. .”

"So, I won't stop what Madam wants to do."

The hooded guard's heart moved.

This is indeed true... It is said that when Long En was just an ordinary businessman, he once wandered around the southern United City and received a large amount of investment from the sisters Grace and Mei Lin, which greatly accelerated his rise——

However, Chai Shi knew clearly.

Madam, every time she mentioned this matter, she would scold Long En, saying that she had been deceived by him, that what she had done was the biggest stupid thing in her life, and that raising him would be better than raising a dog...

Now, judging from Long En's situation of overwhelming the nobles.

This is indeed called raising tigers.

And if the president really appears in Colons... I'm afraid the first person to get angry is not Madam herself.

But now, hearing Yamudou talking about old things like this and treating it as a step down, Chai Shi naturally didn't dare to say anything.

But soon, the hooded guard felt a chill in his heart.

Because of the gentle voice above, the forest instantly became cold.

"But," Yamoudou began, "I am disappointed."

"President, he has such a good relationship with his wife, and I didn't want to interfere in the affairs here, but... Mr. Chai Shi, how did you accomplish the things that your wife told you?"

As he spoke, he gently patted the hooded guard on the shoulder.

Even though there was a layer of armor, Chai Shi still felt as if he had been hit hard.

"I probably know that Madam managed to support a decent-looking faction in this swamp, and even managed to reach the status of a giant... What's the result?"

Yamudou tilted his head: "It was ruined overnight."

"Even the murderer hasn't been found yet."

"Yes." Chai Shi lowered his head, "It was my negligence."

This time, he really meant it.

It was not to deal with Yamudu's cross-examination, but the death of Big Fang, which was also a huge loss for the plan explained by the lady.

Although because of his presence, most of the backbone of the Double Blade Regiment can still be saved.

But those peripheral organizations fell apart and it took a long time and effort to reunite. During this period, if you want to exert influence, you won't have many manpower to mobilize.

"If you hadn't underestimated the enemy and been arrogant...this mistake could have been avoided." Yamudou pointed out mercilessly, "Isn't the empire raising us just to do dirty work? Why did it happen here instead? Take some time off.”

"It's time to get serious. Tell me...is that thing useful?"

Hearing this, Chai Shi raised his head in surprise and looked at the bee-man: "Lord Yamudou, what do you mean..."

"What Madam found," Yamudou looked down at him, "That is... the fourth [artificial intelligence core] in the world, right?"

"..." Chai Shi's heart went cold and he smiled: "Sir, I don't understand this."

As soon as these words came out, even the big black eyebrow who had been mentally prepared was a little surprised...Yamudu had not revealed it before.

——There are currently only three known artificial intelligence cores in the world.

Speaking of them, one has to think of that strange organization called "The Mechanic", which possesses all the artificial intelligence cores that have existed in the world.

Its headquarters stands at the 'end of the world', and it can be said that 80% of the world's printed books, emerging creations, and scientific and technological talents... come from it.

As far as the United City is concerned, there are even nobles who will try their best to send their second sons and illegitimate children who have no inheritance rights to study in mechanics universities. After returning from the studies, they will serve as advisors and assist the lords in governing the city. Their status is not unimportant.

Coupled with the armed mercenary technology hunters who are closely allied with it and distributed across the continent.

This force can be said to be no less than any country in the world. If they have the ambition to dominate, they must be extremely powerful seed players - but then again, if the Mechanic really has such ambitions, other forces will not Let it sit big.

Technology hunters, precisely because of their adherence to neutrality, are allowed to open relay stations everywhere.

As for the mechanics, there is such an organization that does not need to provide funds or worry about operations. It can share research results unlimitedly and selflessly and cultivate various talents... Those really large forces are still happy to see the results.

Even the Holy Empire, which is hostile to mechanical creations and restricts the development of science and technology, turns a blind eye to their development - as long as the technology hunters it enters are humans and are willing to hold up a copy of "Holy Fire" to show off.

Its influence can be imagined.

For such an organization, many people believe that its foundation was a group of people who unlocked the mystery of the first [artificial intelligence core], which was a creation that truly transcended the times... and since then, it has been due to the new As the core of the machine continues to be unblocked, the mechanic can grow stronger and develop rapidly until it is not restricted by any organization.

But anyway.

Mechanics are neutral and can cooperate with anyone - which means they may cooperate with their enemies, which is something many people in power don't want to see.

They also want to have their own 'mechanic'.

So the focus is undoubtedly the legendary ‘artificial intelligence core’.

But now, Yamudou actually said that Grace has found a new 'artificial intelligence core' that is not controlled by mechanics?

"The core of artificial intelligence... How can we have such a thing? Besides, it's not certain whether it really exists. Maybe it's a deceptive thing made up by those old scholars..." Chai Shi's voice , the more you talk, the smaller it gets.

Because Yamudou just looked at him calmly.

In the black pupils, there is no wave in the ancient well.

It reflected the hooded guard's performance, making him look so funny and clumsy.

'He knows...that person must know! ’ Chai Shi suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart.

Madam and them clearly never mentioned this matter to anyone!

But Yamudu, Long En... still knew!

At this moment, he could no longer care about the fear of that man deep in his heart. Chai Shi wanted to draw his sword on the spot and kill him all here.

He just made it clear that he didn't understand.

In fact, he knows the value of an ‘artificial intelligence core’ better than anyone else.

If it can be developed properly, it is possible to revive Madam's Colons City, to revive the entire Southern United City... and even to turn Southern United City into a more powerful empire on its own.

Of course, this process is difficult and slow.

It is said that even with the current talent pool of mechanics, it has taken hundreds of years to decipher the three cores, and it is not yet complete.

However, they did achieve some results.

If these results alone can be verified, it will already benefit a lot.

This is the trump card of South United City.

Thinking of this, Chai Shi flipped his wrist and the exquisite and gorgeous ceremonial knife was about to be unsheathed.

It must not be taken away by Long En!

Although Chai Shi's sword was a gift, it was still made with great effort by a master, and it was a weapon that could actually kill people - not to mention, he had never heard of Yamudou's martial arts in the aristocratic circle.

I thought that a bee who spent so long practicing etiquette and housekeeping would never have the opportunity to receive long-term combat training like a talented and unyielding child of a family like him.

With his own strength, he can kill the opponent even while sitting down!

The instrument sword was half a meter out of its sheath, and the cold light penetrated the bones.

Click.

Yamudu's other hand also pressed on Chai Shi's shoulder.

His speed was astonishingly fast, and he had already turned behind the hooded guard before he knew it.

The strength of the bees is not heavy.

But Chai Shi is indeed like a sculpture, stopping his movements and freezing.

"Sigh." Someone hissed softly.

I didn't know when, but behind the shadow of Yamudu's original position.

A man stood there.

There was a cold light shining on her hand.

It was a crossbow with a peculiar shape, and the arrow pointed right at Chai Shi's eyebrows.

The hooded guard had a keen intuition. The faint tingling between his eyebrows and the chill crawling down his back... He had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, the crossbow arrow would pierce him.

But Yamudou seemed a little dissatisfied: "Headhunter..."

"Where's the crossbow I lent you? It's a masterpiece, don't tell me..."

"It's lost." The shooter, known as the headhunter, said with a hint of apology and helplessness, "Besides, it's too heavy. Think about my body."

"Practically speaking, it seems that this kind of technology hunter's crossbow is more useful." She said with some complacency in her tone, "So I took someone to get another one."

"Besides, it seems that Mr. Chai Shi has understood it, right?"

The headhunter held a crossbow and his eyes were as bright as a torch.

Chai Shi breathed out a breath and returned the sword to its sheath, making a soft sound.

Indeed, the reason why he stopped moving was not entirely because of the shooter arranged by the opponent.

He is already at the Legion level. Even if he is threatened, he may not be at a disadvantage in the actual fight. It is not a problem to dodge immediately or take two arrows.

But... something is fishy.

"It is a masterpiece after all. With my authority, I can only use this one in a short time. You have to find a way to get it back..." Yamudou lamented a few more words, regained his gentleness and calmness, and smiled again. He patted Chai Shi on the shoulder, as if comforting a newly angry tiger: "Master Chai Shi, we are not enemies."

"If the president wants to know, he has a way to know."

"But sir, have you ever thought about why the president never took action after knowing about it?"

Yes, if Long En really covets the core in the hands of Lady Grace.

With his character, he had already secretly sent someone to take action.

Chai Shi held the handle of the knife tightly and remained silent, his hands sweating.

In fact, it should be said that no old-school sword-bearing noble would like Long En, but no one dared to stand up and openly oppose him. This is not just because Long En is the president of the merchant guild and controls the economic lifeline of the entire empire and even half of the continent; it is also not because he is the chief of the imperial cabinet and controls the puppet emperor...

more importantly……

In his hand is the monster named ‘Blood of the Eye’…

Marshal of the Imperial Army.

Behind the scenes, he was from a merchant guild.

But in fact, even without the blood of the eyes, the power of his wife Colons City cannot withstand Long En's possible sneak attack. After all, there are several war-level generals who take orders from him.

"That's right." Yamudou said with a smile, "The president is actually very happy to know that our United City finally has its own artificial intelligence core."

"We are all subjects of the empire, and we all inherit the inheritance of the same ancestors. At this time, how can we distinguish each other?"

"This is best." Chai Shi said perfunctorily.

He looked at the shooter brought by Yamudou and noticed that she turned out to be a Shaq, but all the horns and bone fragments on her body were cut off, so her appearance was not that prominent at first glance.

It is really rare for an exiled Shark tribe to have shooting skills that can threaten him.

But apart from that, Yamudou, as a close confidant of Long En, must have other people guarding him... even if there are war-level people there, maybe.

This was one of the reasons why Chai Shi did not attack on the spot.

You can't hide secrets, you can't defeat them, you can only show them off.

The big black eyebrow on one side closed his eyes and meditated, like a wooden statue. He seemed to have listened to everything in these conversations, but also seemed to have heard nothing at all - by now, he had been too deeply bound to the tank in Union City, and he couldn't even think about it anymore.

"Of course, the rise of Southern United City is also within the president's expectations." Yamudu knew that the other party had doubts, but he didn't care. "Maybe by then, Mrs. Meilin's 'Wandering End' can become the third Two mechanics universities..."

"There is the 'End of the World' in the north and 'The End of the Wandering' in the south, reflecting each other from afar... Isn't this very romantic?"

Chai Shi did not answer the other party's words.

Yamudu knew that his wife had obtained the intelligent core, and it would not be unusual to know that she was cooperating with Mrs. Meilin.

"Lord Yamudou, I know you are very interested in the core," he said, his brows and eyes regaining the unruly look of a noble child, "but unfortunately... the core is certainly not here with me."

"As a hooded guard, I am here just to test the results of Madam... The one with me is just an experiment."

"Yeah," Yamudou agreed, indicating that's what he wanted to know.

"This shooter of yours is from the Shark tribe." Chai Shi looked at the headhunter - the other party pointed at him after hearing this, curious as to why this matter still had something to do with her.

"You are from the Shark tribe. I wonder if you have heard of a legend." The noble guard ignored such a servant. He just used it as an introduction, "The great deeds and achievements of the so-called legendary warrior Krall, and his Bloodline and illusion..."

"A power called 'madness'."

"I think Madam already knows how to make it... even stronger."
