After that, Fangzheng encountered quite a number of Star Alliance warriors along the way. However, these enemies were obviously not a problem for Fangzheng. He killed all of them as if he was cutting melons and vegetables along the way. Iona also obtained a lot of nanomaterials from these Star Alliance resources, which reduced the recovery time by more than half.
"So, this is the Forerunner's Ruin?"
After killing the last dying GAL warrior, Fangzheng walked to the gate of the tower and looked at it curiously. Unlike the bionic style of the previous GAL gate, the gate of the Forerunner's Ruin looked very neat, sci-fi and mechanical.
It gave Fangzheng a sense of aesthetics that was closer to that of humans, and it was even more advanced than the current humans.
Hmm … .this thing is not bad.
Looking at the gate in front of him, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction. He walked up and knocked on the gate.
"… … …"
There was no response at all.
"How do I open this thing?"
"Please wait a moment, Master."
Nimf hurriedly came forward and placed her hand on the gate. Then, a ring of light appeared in Nimf's eyes again.
"… This gate uses some kind of sensing technology. It can only be opened by sensing a creature that matches the frequency. Please wait, I'll immediately change the frequency … .huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Fangzheng could not help but ask when he saw the little angel screaming in surprise. The little angel was stunned for a moment before she answered.
"It's like this. I've detected that another entrance to the ruin has been opened before. The person who entered was the Sergeant Major!"
"It's him? How did he get in? Is it the work of that AI? "
"No, according to the records here, after the Forerunner's Ruin scanned and confirmed that the other party met the requirements, it directly opened the gate."
"… … That works???"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng was slightly taken aback, but he immediately calmed down. Protagonists always had their own auras. Maybe they accidentally practiced a martial art that had been lost for a long time, or maybe they accidentally found the key to a mysterious ruin, or maybe they didn't even know what royal bloodline they had …. Wasn't it all just a plot?
"Seems like the main character is indeed different. Forget it, let's not care about him. Let's do our own thing. Open the door."
"Yes, Master."
Even though she didn't quite understand what Fangzheng was talking about, Nimf nodded in agreement. She extended her arm and tapped several times in the air. Shortly after, the tightly shut door opened and revealed the interior space.
This was a huge hall. From the outside, it looked like something out of science fiction. There were glowing lines and white armor that gave off a sci-fi feel everywhere. From the style alone, it could be seen that these things were completely different from the style of the Star Alliance and the human world. Perhaps it was because the Star Alliance soldiers could not enter, but the entire hall seemed abnormally empty. There were no enemies at all.
"It's beautiful here. Come, come here, let's take a picture …. F * ck me!"
Just as Fangzheng dragged Nimf, Iona, and Charmander in to take a picture, a few strange small machines suddenly appeared not far away from their feet. They looked a little like Celestial's Tango, but they had a more mechanical feel to them.
"There's actually a tomb keeper here?"
Seeing these strange things, Fangzheng hurriedly jumped back. At the same time, he prepared a Magic Missile Storm in his hand. Unlike the trial world, Fangzheng could use a certain degree of magic power in the aid world, but he needed to consume his own magic power. In the past, this might have been a problem for Fangzheng, but after he mastered the third law, Fangzheng had basically obtained unlimited magic power. He no longer needed to rely on the magic power in the atmosphere to cast spells like ordinary mages.
However, these strange machines only glanced at Fangzheng and the others, then quickly turned around and flew to the other side. They looked like they were patrolling or defending against something.
"What's this?"
Fangzheng looked at Nimf while patting the head of Charmander, who wanted to "fight" with those strange machines. Nimf stretched out her hand again, the light in her eyes flickering.
"… They're called the 'Sanctuary Defenders'. They're the guards of this place."
"Guards? Can we pack these things up and take them back? "
Ever since he came to this world, Fangzheng felt like Ali Baba entering the treasure vault of the Forty Thieves. He wanted to take everything he saw ….
"Of course."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Nimf nodded.
"As long as I can find the control terminal here, I'm confident that I can control these Sanctuary Defenders. For now, although the Forerunners are very technologically advanced, they're still slightly inferior to Sinapus in terms of information manipulation. But there's something strange …."
"Hmm?"
"In the coding of the Forerunner system, I found a structure and code similar to that of the GAL battleships. The latter is more like … a counterfeit of the former."
"In other words, the GAL relies on the Tomb of the Dead to obtain advanced technology?"
Fangzheng appeared quite calm in response to Nimf's question. After all, this kind of thing was common. For now, the technology of the Forerunners was more advanced than that of the humans and the GAL, and the GAL was so concerned about the Forerunners. Obviously, these guys had obtained a lot of benefits from the archaeology (or grave robbing) of the Forerunners. After tasting the sweetness, they were unable to extricate themselves.
Since the Sanctuary Defenders had no intention of attacking Fangzheng and the others, Fangzheng naturally would not go looking for trouble with them. He led the others through the hall to the control panel on the other side. Then, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pressed it …. Sure enough, there was no reaction.
But then again, why was the Chief Sergeant able to activate the things in this facility? Wasn't he a human? According to normal games or settings, could it be that the Chief Sergeant was the only son of some Forerunner who was stranded in the outside world, or even a prince or something?
Then, would he return to their homeland and retrieve their inheritance?
One day, he would also be crowned king?
"— — — —!"
Just as Fangzheng's mind was filled with thoughts, suddenly, a soft sound was heard. The originally dim machine suddenly lit up and quickly started up.
"What's going on??? Wait a minute …. I almost guessed it …. "
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng first felt nervous, but he soon thought of something. According to Nimf, the Chief Sergeant and the AI had entered the ruins before. Judging from their actions, they obviously did not come here for archaeology or tourism like him. If Fangzheng's guess was right, the Chief Sergeant should have activated something here, causing a chain reaction.
"I've entered the system."
At the same time, Nimf quickly stepped forward and opened a communication channel to connect with the Forerunner system.
"Target confirmed …. This is the Forerunner's Shield World, called Requiem. This is …. Huh? "
Seeing this, Nimf's expression suddenly changed.
"Master, something's wrong. This place isn't as simple as we think. A Forerunner is imprisoned here!"
"Alive?"
"Yes. According to the data, the Forerunner here is a very dangerous existence, so it's imprisoned here and can never leave."
"…. That's really troublesome. Why don't they just give it a death sentence? What's the meaning of an indefinite sentence? Isn't this just waiting for Xuanzang to come one day and release Monkey Sun …. Wait, that's not what the Chief Sergeant is doing, is it? "
Thinking of this, Fangzheng suddenly trembled. He knew all too well that the main character of a creature like a protagonist was that they had dirty hands. They would want to touch anything they saw. Many times, many boss battles were caused by the protagonist's dirty hands!
"Nimf, is there any way to cut off or shut down their control over the ruins?"
"I can try to shut down the system! Then recompile it. "
"Shut it down immediately."
"Yes!"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Nimf stretched out her hand and waved it in the air. The next moment, the originally shining light around them disappeared in an instant.
At the same time …
"Cortana, what happened?"
Seeing the map suddenly disappear in front of him, the Chief Sergeant was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"I don't know …."
Facing the Chief Sergeant's question, Cortana was also dumbfounded.
"The mapping machine suddenly shut down. Looks like we'll have to restart it manually."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Hearing Cortana's report, the Chief Sergeant raised the weapon in his hand.
"Let's move."
Another thing Fangzheng neglected was that as a protagonist, they were usually very mobile ….
