After Tian Mo and the others resolved the rebel crisis in Laiying City, they quickly left there because they felt that Laiying City was too unstable and how would they leave if another rebellion broke out. Besides, because of Xiao Ao's outstanding performance, he suddenly became the focus of Laiying City. Many reporters and media wanted to interview him. They wanted to know what kind of young man he was, who had such courage and dared to lead... With some prisoners, he fought against the well-equipped rebels and achieved a great victory.
On the way to other cities, Xiao Ao and the others saw another aspect of the Northern Continent that was different from other continents, that is, there were many deserts here. There are also some mobile mechanical reptiles in the desert.
In the car, they met a traveling businessman who often traveled to other continents. After a brief acquaintance, they started chatting with each other. This is also good news for Xiao Ao and the others, because they urgently need someone who knows the Northern Continent very well to tell them something about the Northern Continent.
They first learned from the mouth of businessman Mo Qi that many places in the Northern Continent were actually infiltrated by a cult called "Guiyi Sect". Especially in Laiying City, rebels often appeared in the city. Now many members of the United Church have appeared among the rebels. These people have made the rebels even more extreme.
Then Xiao Ao wanted to take a look at Mochi's products, and Mochi took out a bottle of precious perfume from the package. After opening this bottle of perfume, the fragrance immediately overflows. And this fragrance is not a particularly strong fragrance, but a light fragrance, which will not offend some people.
Xiao Ao liked it very much, "I want this bottle of perfume." Then he took out some gold coins from his pocket. "Is this enough?"
Mochi saw it and immediately waved his hand, "No, no, we have known each other today. I can give you this bottle of perfume."
"Don't be so polite. It's not easy for a businessman like you." Xiao Ao forced the gold coins to Mochi.
Mochi took the money and looked a little embarrassed, "Too much, too much." Although his bottle of perfume was very expensive, the gold coins Xiao Ao gave was already several times the price of the perfume. So he wanted to return the extra money to Xiao Ao and the others.
"Take it, it's our first time to come to the Northern Continent, so there are still many things we don't understand. Being able to meet a friend like you means we are destined." Xiao Ao is still very good at talking.
"That's too much. Good friends shouldn't talk about money." Mochi is also very straightforward. He doesn't really care about money. He has many customers in business these years because he is honest and not greedy. Although he does not come from a wealthy family, his family's life is very prosperous.
After the two parties gave in to each other for a long time. Moqi only accepted the purchase price of the perfume and did not ask for more gold coins from Xiao Ao and the others.
Seeing Moqi's persistence, it would seem that Xiao Ao had ulterior motives if he continued. He took the perfume and handed it to Lucia beside him. "My dear, I gave it to you."
Lucia took the perfume obediently and kissed Xiao Ao gently. Fortunately, Tianmo and the others have known Xiao Ao and Lucia for a long time, and this kind of thing is very common.
"We are friends. If you come to the Northern Continent again in the future, you must find me. This is my business card." Mochi always carries a special business card with his address written on it.
Tian Mo and the others also put their business cards in their pockets.
"Are you the first to come to the Northern Continent?" Moqi asked.
"Yes, so there are still many things we don't understand." Xiao Ao replied.
"What are you doing in the Northern Continent?"
"Find something."
"what?"
Moqi's question actually stopped Xiao Ao and the others, because they didn't know what heroic relics there were in the Northern Continent. Currently, they have the Imperial Scepter, Flame Pearl, and Diamond Bracelet, but they are still missing two relics. It is unknown whether they are an amethyst ring and a heart-shaped pendant.
"Some lost rings and pendants." Xiao Ao simplified the description of the hero's relics. Most people would not realize from these two things that Xiao Ao and the others are looking for hero relics.
"How did they get lost? Those things are hard to find." Moqi said, because based on what Xiao Ao said, these two things are really too common.
"It's okay, I will find it myself. By the way, what are those outside?" Xiao Ao changed the subject. Pointing at the mechanical reptiles that are constantly moving in the desert.
"Those things are different from ordinary creatures. They are all living machines."
"A living machine?"
"Yes, there are many stories to tell about this."
"Tell me about it, I'm quite interested." Xiao Ao said, and so did everyone else. The scenery of the Northern Continent is completely different from other continents. The life forms here are also different from those on other continents. In other continents, machines are dead and need to be controlled by humans. But some of the machines here actually have autonomous consciousness, and they can control themselves with their own thoughts.
"In the past, about a hundred years ago, a very special professor appeared in our northern border. His name was Mandalay. During a research and development process, he invented a program that could make machines have autonomous consciousness, so some The machines came to life. However, some humans believed that these living machines would pose a threat to mankind. So some people began to prevent Mandalay from continuing his research and imprisoned him until his death. The results of his research were also Relevant state agencies have collected them and classified them as top secrets for secret research."
"Secret research, they didn't let the professor do it, but did it themselves?"
"Well, it turned out that the research went out of control, and some machines went wild and killed many humans. In the end, they had to give up. And destroyed some conscious machines. But some machines still escaped, and they are the mechanical reptiles you see. And so on. They are not very threatening, and living in this kind of desert, no one will care about them."
"It's amazing that you still have such a thing here." There are no living machines in the place where Xiao Ao and the others live.
Moqi nodded. These things are only widely spread in the Northern Continent. Even if other continents know about it, they will think that such things are science fiction and unbelievable. "It is said that Professor Manderly made a special program in prison and installed it in a special device. This program can make all the machines in the northern continent conscious. During a mechanical riot, this device Lost, if true, it would be a disaster for the whole northern continent..."
