Just as Han Dong and the Academician were about to find a secluded area to talk.
Suddenly, a powerful aura came from behind, forcing the two to stop.
"Governor Wang, why are you here?" The Academician immediately turned around to greet him.
The person who came was the auctioneer, the former Minister of War and the current Governor of the Demon Domain, Wang Shiheng.
His twin daughters pushed his wheelchair here and came here right after the auction. Needless to say, he was here specifically for the Academician.
"It is said that a genius has appeared in the Ministry of Works. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary.
Although our country's mechanical technology has reached a very high standard, it is still difficult to achieve more than 50% mechanical coverage, let alone 80% mechanical coverage like yours.
That is why I am curious. A mechanical body like yours is not suitable for my [Cloth Shoes]. I did not expect you to give it to a friend. "
The Academician reacted quickly and immediately placed a mechanical tentacle on Han Dong's shoulder.
"This is a zombie from the same floating island as me. Back then, both of us were selected to board the Dragonboat.
Due to my good test results on the Dragonboat, I entered the Imperial Court under the recommendation of the Dragonboat Governor. He followed the conventional zombie's arrangements and lived a normal life in the Corpse Nation.
I did not expect to meet you at the auction today. "
"The same floating island can produce two [Black Zombies]? Unbelievable.
I have already ordered someone to contact your servant about the transfer of the mine. It will be done soon. I wonder if the two of you are free. This old man would like to talk to you in private. "
"Of course we are free. It is our honor to be invited by Governor Wang." The Academician immediately agreed.
"Just come to my house and talk."
Hearing this, Han Dong's gaze changed slightly.
If it was a normal Fate event, he would definitely receive a system notification at this time, triggering a side quest or hidden quest … According to the quest, Han Dong would be able to make better decisions.
However, he was in a world that was extremely out of control. He did not receive any notifications.
Wang Shiheng might have noticed the 'abnormality' between the two … Of course, it was more likely out of admiration. After all, in the conversation just now, Governor Wang's gaze was fixed on the Academician.
… …
"Governor Wang's residence is not in the Ministry of War?"
"Dealing with the matters of the Ministry of War is already very troublesome. I don't want to spend my rest time in there.
What's more, I'm already old, and I'm not interested in political matters at all. Most of the matters in the barracks are left to my subordinates to handle.
Otherwise, how could he have the time to attend the auction?
My humble abode is simple and crude. Please forgive me if there is anything that is lacking in hospitality. "
Governor Wang Shiheng's residence was actually an ordinary bungalow hidden in the corner of the street, and there were no signs of metal modification.
"Make yourself at home.
Ying 'er, go brew a pot of good tea. "
The female zombie hopped around and soon returned with a pot of tea.
The so-called 'tea' here was not the tea that humans drank in daily life.
After all, zombies didn't need to eat or drink at all. Most zombies had a large number of openings in their esophagus and stomach sacs. If they drank, they might seep out from somewhere and stain their clothes.
The so-called tea was actually a type of tea oil.
By soaking the best tea leaves in boiling corpse oil, the unpleasant odor of the corpse oil was removed, and the fragrance of the tea leaves was added.
When Han Dong tasted the tea, a refreshing feeling filled his brain, and his mental state improved by a lot.
"Good tea."
"This is the tea leaves from the Corpse Fragrance House. Not only can it refresh the mind, but it can also purify the corpse oil itself … Haha, this old man is not good at getting close to people, so I'll just get straight to the point.
This time, I specially came to find Manager Huang to ask you to do something for this old man. "
The doctor replied with a smile, "Governor, you have a lot of talents under your command. What do you need my help with?"
"Although my position is high, it doesn't have real power. My two old legs are crippled, and I no longer have the right to speak in the Ministry of War … Any of my private actions will be reported to the higher-ups, including the matter of me hosting the auction today.
And what I want you to do, once I report it to the higher-ups, those guys will definitely use all kinds of methods to obstruct it. "
"What's the matter?"
"Go to the depths of the demon territory and obtain a special liquid for this old man … It is said that the liquid can revive the dead and has the effect of nurturing the soul."
"Is it possible to recover your legs?"
"It can only be said that there is a possibility of recovery. This is information I obtained from a great demon, so it is most likely true."
"It is great that your legs can be recovered. If you report it to the central Ministry of War, you should receive great support and assistance, right?"
"Haha! As expected of a newcomer who just entered the imperial court. The relationship here is much more complicated than you think … Although my legs being crippled on the surface is related to me being trapped in the enemy's camp, there are some people in the Ministry of War who are secretly helping me.
These guys won't give me any chance to turn the situation around. If I report it, not only will I not receive any help, but it will also attract a lot of trouble. "
"Why does the governor believe me?
Wait … Could it be that all of this was arranged by you?! "The doctor suddenly realized something.
"Haha! Something like the right to transfer the mineral veins to an auction is a bit out of place.
In fact, that old man, the Minister of Works, is my closest friend in the imperial court … When I mentioned this matter to him, he immediately recommended someone to me, and it was you.
You have only been in the imperial court for a hundred days. Other than the central Ministry of Works, you have not been to any other places, nor have you had any dealings with the outside world.
Moreover, your strength is quite good. "
"Since it is the Minister's arrangement, I will naturally help with this matter."
"Naturally, I won't let you do it for nothing. As long as you can bring back a bottle of mysterious liquid hidden in the secret mountain for me.
Not only material support, but also some assistance in power. As long as I can help, I will do my best … Of course, things are not that simple.
According to the information in my hands, the mysterious liquid called 'Moon Water' is hidden in the depths of the demon territory, about a thousand miles away from the barracks.
You should also know that the deeper you go into the demon territory, the higher the probability of encountering a big demon.
There is no need to rush this matter. You can spend several months slowly preparing and gathering a group of trustworthy and powerful people. "
When he said this.
Han Dong's words went straight to the doctor's brain.
The doctor immediately responded, "Governor! No need to prepare, we can set out now … The powerful people have been found. "
Saying this.
The doctor, Governor Wang, and his twin daughters looked at Han Dong at the same time.
Governor Wang said with a smile, "I have taken your old friend, the black zombie, into consideration. I have also checked his background, and he has nothing to do with the imperial court.
However, only a black zombie, I am afraid it is far from enough. "
"No, my friend is much stronger than me."
The doctor was a special zombie with a mechanical body coverage of 80% and achieved "Mechanical Ascension".
As soon as these words came out, Governor Wang immediately became interested.
"Stronger than you … Young man, do you want to try?"
