A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 766 - 752: Ice City (4)
On the metal floor, there are patches of water stains.
Boots stepping on it make a crunching sound, easily kicking up large splashes of water.
Water droplets constantly drip, drip, drip from the ceiling above, creating a crisp sound in the empty, narrow, cramped corridor.
This corridor.
Is the only road leading to the Frozen Castle.
In the quiet, cold, and dark passage, apart from the robot's eyes, which resemble two-thousand-watt bulbs providing light, there is basically no light source.
Of course.
At this moment, Baiyu and Tian Haobin are supposed to be in a "coma" state, so Baiyu can only secretly observe, just as he can use the light from the robot's eyes and the dark environment to reduce his chance of being discovered. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After passing through this dark and lengthy aisle.
The two of them were placed by the robot into a well-lit hall.
At the center of the hall.
Is a thick mecha.
No.
Not a mecha, but a robot.
At this moment, Baiyu can't tell exactly what it is; it stands there like a mechanical armor, covered entirely in black metal casing, with no skin exposed.
Yet bizarrely.
It can move.
Is this the leader of the robots?
Just as Baiyu was guessing the identity of the robot, it stepped forward, moved in front of Baiyu and Tian Haobin, and spoke in a completely incomprehensible language.
But soon enough.
The robot discovered that Baiyu was not anesthetized.
It wasn't annoyed, instead picking up a helmet resembling a "jaw ripper" from the side and putting it on Baiyu.
As Baiyu thought this might be some sort of torture, readying himself for a life-and-death struggle with the robot.
He suddenly found out.
He could understand what the robot was saying.
"Is this the humanity after ten thousand years? So cool, you guys didn't evolve into another species due to gene mutation; no, your gene mutation stopped..."
The robot gestured grandly in front of Baiyu, its exaggerated body movements in full display.
Its two scarlet glass eyes stared at Baiyu and said, "You can speak now. What I put on you is a language converter, which allows using spirit to input language, making our communication smooth.
I need to know the information from the Outer World.
Has the Frost Imperial conquered the Spirit Realm and begun the star river expedition?
Speak quickly.
To which Star Realm has our Imperial domain spread?"
Faced with the robot's questioning, Baiyu didn't have time to marvel at the magic of the language converter and began to ponder how to respond.
Looking at the robot's eyes devoid of any emotion.
Baiyu hesitated for a moment, but under the other party's urging, finally spoke the truth: "The Frost Imperial has become history, and now on the continent, many countries rule together. Humanity is united against the Spirit Realm's aliens and demons.
Human deities are fighting against the deities of demons.
The current situation is not optimistic."
Baiyu felt that this robot must have its own intelligence, capable of independent thought, and has feelings.
It should also have no malice towards humans.
After all, it belongs to the Frost Imperial, one of the most powerful empires in human history.
Upon hearing Baiyu saying such news, the robot's eyes flashed with several virtual lines, as if its system was under virus attack.
It stumbled back two steps: "Impossible, the Frost Imperial is so powerful, those stone-shell species descendants can only be the slaves of the Imperial.
How could it be destroyed?
There is no force in this world that could destroy the Imperial!"
Baiyu remained silent.
The robot muttered to itself for a long time before slowly calming down: "The Imperial, really gone?"
"The reason I appear here is that the force I belong to found this Ancient Ruins, and I followed my superior here to explore.
As a result, my superior wanted to monopolize the treasures in the ruins, so they started a massacre against us subordinates."
Baiyu described the current predicament with an easier-to-understand relation.
He didn't know.
Whether there are teacher-student relational ties in the Frost Imperial.
But superior and subordinate.
There must be.
The robot wasn't too concerned upon hearing this but showed more interest in the situation outside.
"Can you tell me about the current situation outside?
If I choose to unseal this Ice City, will it be attacked by other forces? What are humans like now?
And the demons you mentioned, what are they?"
The robot asked all in one breath.
Baiyu sorted out his thoughts and then said: "The Ice City, for humans now, is like a treasure land, with very strong attraction.
I don't know if revealing it to the world will provoke attacks from other forces.
However.
The power you control is such that no regular force would dare to attack."
Saying so.
Baiyu explained the current level division system to the robot.
The robot was greatly surprised, with a tone of disbelief: "Are you saying that the current top human warriors only have the power of Black Iron Warriors?
Impossible.
Such weak humans couldn't have survived."
Baiyu said: "What level is Black Iron Warrior? Is it the strength of those robots outside?"
The robot leader nodded, ripples flashing in its scarlet eyes: "The defensive robots outside are Black Iron Level One to Black Iron Level Three warriors.
Though they are Imperial elites.
There are many more forces stronger than them in the Frost Imperial.
I am the great Silver Level Warrior!
Silver Level Warriors are the backbone of the Frost Imperial, and above them, there are the invincible Golden Level Warriors."
Baiyu silently made a mental note.
Black Iron, Silver, Gold.
It feels similar to the level system of a certain online game he used to play.
If a robot that can fight on par with two Tier Three Grandmasters is merely a Black Iron Level, then how terrifying is the power of a Silver Level?
At this moment.
Baiyu is no longer thinking about how to escape.
The robot in front of him is a living tome, and he just wants to learn more of ancient history from it.
After all.
The secrets of the deities are all hidden in ancient history.
"Are you talking about these three people?"
Quickly.
The robot pulled out an image, showing Mr. Wu and Teacher Hu, Teacher Gong, active in the second area.
"Yes, they are Tier Three Grandmasters among humans, very strong."
Baiyu stated bluntly.
The robot nodded: "Indeed, they only have the strength of Black Iron Warriors, roughly between Black Iron Tier Three and Black Iron Tier Two.
But still very far from Black Iron Tier One and Golden Level.
However, they have very strong aggressiveness and many special weapons, not easy to control.
You are much weaker than them.
I think you would be willing to cooperate with me in exchanging information, right?
I mean no harm, just want to figure out the current situation, and then, revive the Frost Imperial!"
Baiyu smiled and said: "Of course, I also mean no harm, but I think you should deal with these three problems first, as they are here for the treasures in this Ice City."
