Chapter 41
Roger could not help but frown.
This sudden voice made him somewhat on guard.
What if he was blocked by a trap if he entered the cave rashly without confirming whether the other party was a friend or a foe?
Thus, he had an idea and shouted at the entrance of the cave, ”
“The entrance is too narrow.”
“I can’t climb over!”
His words formed a long echo in the cave.
After a long time, an “Oh” was heard.
After that, a slight vibration could be heard from the cave.
Roger glanced over curiously.
Not long after, a robot covered in rust crawled out of the hole in a sorry state.
To be honest, Roger had never seen such a ” fat ” robot.
Its limbs were extremely short, and the end near its heart was fat. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was a ball.
The skin of robots had long been eroded by time.
All that was left were endless pits and holes.
It looked like it was struggling to climb the cave, like an old man with one foot in the grave.
Seeing it like this ...
Roger actually felt a little guilty.
“Eh?”
“Are you fatter than ah BA?”
The robot stood up unsteadily from the ground. While sizing Roger up, its voice was full of doubt.
All of a sudden.
Its left foot shattered into silver dust.
The robot fell to the ground, and even its right foot became a decoration.
“How impolite ... We’ve embarrassed ourselves in front of the guests.”
Its voice was filled with indescribable dejection.
However, it didn’t take long before it became optimistic.
that’s good too. The guests can push me inside later. It’ll save me a lot of trouble.
Roger was silent for a while.
The robot’s voice and reaction reminded him of a certain playmate from his childhood in his previous life.
He walked over and gently helped it up.
“Are you alright?”
“You’re fine? Of course I’m fine, ah BA is a construct, how could anything happen to him?” (Note 1)
“Aiyaya, I’m so rude! I actually forgot to introduce myself.”
The robot solemnly said, ”
I’m ah BA, the ‘teaching elder’ of the clear spring sect.
At this point, it scratched its head in a rather human-like manner, and its words carried a hint of desolation.
“It’s possible ... He’s the last member of the clear spring sect in this world.”
Roger nodded slightly.
For some reason, the structure gave him an unusually familiar feeling.
“I haven’t had time to ask for the guest’s name?”
Eighty looked at Roger.
Its eyes were very small, and they flickered with a reddish glow.
Roger.
This time, Roger decided to tell the truth.
“Mr. Roger, why don’t we try to get through again?”
Ah BA’s mood seemed to have risen, ”
“Great master qu Feng said that it’s very impolite to let guests speak outside.”
Roger was infected by its emotions and also laughed.
“Alright,” he said.
He pushed ah BA into the cave.
Although the cave was low, Roger could pass through it by bending over.
He pushed ah BA and walked for a short while before he saw a faint light.
...
Not long after.
The terrain suddenly opened up.
The cold rocks above his head became the unattainable night sky, and the narrow cave was replaced by the vast land.
At that moment, Roger felt like he was in the wilderness of a plain at night.
He looked over.
The lost Temple, the collapsed houses, the abandoned farmland, and the paths and roads buried by the wind and sand were all vivid in his mind!
This place didn’t look like an underground city at all!
Roger stared at the night sky for a long time and confirmed that the twinkling stars weren’t gemstones from underground.
“Teacher, you must be very curious, right?”
“It’s a pity that I can’t explain this phenomenon,” said ah BA.
“I remember that a long time ago, there was a ‘mountain-protecting formation’ above clear spring sect’s head.When you stand here, you’ll have the chance to see the magnificent sunset and waterfall.”
...
“I don’t know when it became this boundless starry sky.”
“It took me a long time to realize that the training Hall had already sunk underground.”
“This way, this way. please ...”
Roger pushed eighty forward.
Both sides of the road were ruins that had been severely eroded by wind.
When he passed by a well-preserved courtyard, Roger saw a swing covered in dust.
She seemed to have noticed his gaze.
Ah BA gloomily said, ”
“Many people once lived here.”
Roger asked softly, ”
“What happened after that?”
Ah BA recalled, ”
“The king of Talon has sent a Messenger.”
“Great master qu Feng rushed out of the mountain and never came back.”
“The senior brothers and sisters are leaving one after another.”
“Those who didn’t leave died overnight.”
“Only the little squirrel is still with me.”
but then the little squirrel also died.
“I buried them in the cemetery behind the mountain.”
“After that ...”
“I can’t find their graves.”
..
Even though ah BA’s memory was incomplete.
But Roger also extracted a lot of useful information from it.
For example, he found out that the country where the clear spring sect was located was called ‘Talon’;
Talon and clear spring sect had a very close relationship.
The owner of the clear spring sect’s Daoist Rite temple was ” master qu Feng “, and the fire repelling Pearl in Luo Jie’s hands was made by him.
..
Another example was that the disaster had struck overnight.
Except for the construct ah BA and a ” little squirrel “, the rest of the people were not spared.
This information had a huge impact on Roger.
He recalled the various scenes he had seen on the liuxian wall and compared them to the broken walls in front of him.
For the first time, Roger felt an indescribable emotion. There were only four words left in his heart.
[ the sea changes into fields ].
..
“You really can’t remember how many years have passed?”
Roger couldn’t help but ask.
Ever since he had learned of the great calamity’s existence, he had been extremely curious about the exact time of the calamity’s occurrence.
He had asked many people, but none of them had given him a clear number.
The old man in tongma town, Cindy from Dragon tooth village ... They couldn’t tell Roger the exact history.
If ah BA wasn’t lying, then he was a being that existed before the great calamity.
It was the person closest to the truth.
However, the construct’s answer was regrettable.
“I’m very sorry, not remembering the year is a very rude thing.”
but eighty’s memory module is too bloated. In order to complete my final mission, I had to delete a lot of unnecessary things, which made my brain a mess.
“Do you see the memory crystals on the ground? Those are the parts that I replaced, and there should be a lot of memories inside.”
it’s a pity that my memory slot is completely broken. If you have other constructs, you can try to read these memories.
They came to an open field.
Ah BA pointed at the mountain of shiny objects not far away.
Roger noticed that a batch of magic crystals was placed on a stone shelf alone, covered by a small gray canvas.
are those magical crystals also part of your memory? ”
He asked.
“Ah, yes. These are all precious memories left behind by ah BA when he peeked at the senior and junior sisters bathing in the past.”
The construct said happily, ”
“If you want to see it, please feel free to read it!”
Roger couldn’t help but be speechless.
“No... This isn’t good, is it?”
However, ah BA shook his head and said, ”
“They have long been buried in the dust of history.”
“Even I can’t remember their voices and smiles.”
“Although peeking at people bathing is a very rude thing to do, it’s better to do the former than to let them be completely forgotten. What do you think, Mr. Roger?”
Roger forced a smile, not knowing what to say.
This clear spring sect’s teaching elder was really a genius in logic!
In the blink of an eye.
He walked over and picked up a memory crystal, playing with it in his hand.
“I’m not a construct anyway, and I can’t read these memories.”
He said to himself.
At this moment.
The data column suddenly changed!
..
[ undamaged memory magic crystal detected. Would you like to read the memory? ]
..
“Swish!”
Roger’s expression instantly became uncertain.
..
(Note 1: constructs are robots from fantasy worlds.
Ordinary constructs could only execute specific programs, such as ” steel guards.
And the constructs that were injected with the ” construct inspiration ” were equivalent to having life.
If you are strong enough and have enough knowledge and materials, you can DIY a variety of constructs, such as the ” pleasure Golem “)
