This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 459
In the Mechanical Royal Court, core base, and Li Ming’s room, consciousness returned to its true form from the Holy Castle.
When he opened his eyes, the pain of being pierced all over his body had not gone away, causing another burst of energy to boil.
Li Ming secretly clicked his tongue, “Torture, torture, it almost brings me pleasure. There are not many people who work as hard as me.”
He stood up and stretched his body. There was a crackling sound inside his body, and energy particles poured out of his pores, completing a cycle similar to breathing and adjusting his body’s condition.
Under Suzaku’s report, he opened the smart terminal in the center of the table.
After realizing that Anduin had replied to him not long ago, he thought for a moment and simply dialed the number directly.

This time, the other party connected quickly and the bust popped up.
“Your Excellency Anduin…” Li Ming contacted the other party as Qinglong, and Anduin responded calmly, nodding and smiling: “Your Excellency Qinglong.”
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Ming stepped into the topic and said, “I am contacting you this time because I have something I want you to help me with.”
“Oh.” Anduin’s heart moved slightly, “Just say it.”
The answer seemed generous, but it didn’t say yes or no.
Li Ming didn’t care and explained: “That’s it. I will go to a secret place soon. I may not be able to take care of the Mechanical Royal Court for a long time.”
“In order to avoid some unexpected situations, I would like to invite you to come and sit in the Mechanical King’s Court.”
Sitting in the mechanical royal court?
Anduin remained silent, but he was thinking about it in his heart, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: “Is there anyone who dares to attack the Mechanical Royal Court?”
Li Ming was noncommittal, “No one can say anything, so I would like to ask you to come and take charge.”
Anduin remained silent. The Mechanical Court was apparently the business of Qinglong students. Thanks to Qinglong’s influence, its power expanded extremely rapidly.
And he has continued to purchase various cutting-edge alloys, probably for Qinglong’s use.
However, there is widespread speculation that this should only be a small part of the Qinglong channel, but the future potential is very huge.
Qinglong didn’t want to reveal his true hidden heritage, so he wanted to build an organization from scratch in the interstellar space.
But no one should inexplicably destroy it, causing more harm than good.
“Approximately how long will it take?” Anduin asked, but still didn’t agree.
“It should not take more than half a year.” Li Ming estimated that the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization were still a secret.
To the outside world, not many people knew about it, and Li Ming did not intend to leak the news.
Anduin thought about it, his expression changing.
Li Ming knew the other party’s concerns and said simply: “Don’t worry, I’m just in case. In other words, out of caution. If you find an unexpected situation, you can leave on your own.”
Is there anything else in this Mechanical Royal Court that others can covet… Anduin speculated, but then he said, “No problem, Your Excellency Qinglong asks, how can I refuse?”
I just said that we wanted to get together last time, and if we refuse this time, it would be too much of a slap in the face.
Moreover, if an accident does happen, he has the ability to escape.
Li Ming said: “Thank you very much.”
After Anduin agreed, the atmosphere between the two improved significantly, and they chatted again before ending the correspondence.
Both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention the remuneration. The level of remuneration depends on the troubles encountered.
If the situation is calm during the time he is in charge, then this is a simple favor, and Anduin will definitely not ask for any reward.
But if you really encounter any strong enemy, the reward will definitely have to be discussed separately.
After thinking about it, Li Ming called the smart terminal again and called for Robin.
………
“How about it?”
Heckler stared at the dark virtual screen in front of him, and the sound wave lines in it rippled.
“There’s no response yet. He probably won’t come.”
“Won’t come?” Heckler couldn’t help but frown when he heard this, “Didn’t you lure him with information about World Moon in the invitation?”
“I made it very clear that if he is willing, he will definitely reply.” The voice coming from the screen was very indifferent.
Heckler frowned, “Did he just refuse the tasting, or both?”
“Whether it was a tasting or a twilight banquet, there was no response.”
After hearing this, Heckler had some inexplicable meaning on his face and said in a leisurely tone: “It seems that Lord Qinglong is quite proud. Everyone wants to go to your twilight banquet and is proud to receive the invitation. He didn’t care.”
Listening to these obviously provocative words, Anatole’s voice remained calm, “It’s just that we are eating together, whether we come or not, it doesn’t mean anything. As for not taking me seriously…”
Laughter even came from the screen, “On the Black Hole Network and the Interstellar Network, there are many people who insult me. There are billions of people who just search for them. Do I care about every one of them?”
Upon hearing this, Heckler’s face could not help but darken, and Anatole said slowly:
“Dear Your Highness, I have to deal with the lion-skinned dragon. This kind of precious food only has fifty of them a year. The people under my command are too rough. I hope to see you in a year’s time.”
Heckler snorted coldly: “After the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, these guys all became energetic.”
Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Heckler said solemnly: “Come in.”
Creak – the door to the room was pushed open, but it was Yon who looked hurriedly.
“Your Highness.” He came in and was about to salute when he was interrupted by Heckler: “Just say it.”
“Yes…” John nodded and reported in a deep voice: “Your Highness, our people have determined that the reason why the three major civilizations delayed for one year is because at the negotiation meeting, Qinglong came up with information about the Star of Eternal Silence. “
The eternal star!
Heckler’s eyes shone, his expression kept changing, and he murmured in a low voice: “I knew this matter must not be that simple.”
“What specific information did they trade?” Heckler asked impatiently.
Jon shook his head hesitantly: “This is unclear at the moment. Qinglong did not reveal the information on the spot at the negotiation table. Instead, he only forced Prince Costart to agree to his request for an extension.”
“Smart.” A sneer appeared at the corner of Heckler’s mouth. “If he said it, Adam would definitely not let it go. It would do more harm than good.”
“However, Kostat only promised him one year, and the information Qinglong has is probably not that important.” Heckler tapped on the table, his expression flickering:
“The Star of Eternal Silence is under Adam’s control. This task is extremely strict. Until now, all parties have not been able to find out the slightest bit of information. How did Qinglong get it?”
“And it’s been a few days since the incident ended, but Adam’s side is as quiet as death.”
Heckler was confused. With such important information being held by Qinglong, shouldn’t Adam be uneasy?
Shouldn’t we find out how it was leaked? This kind of silence revealed something unusual.
Jon added: “Currently, other civilizations have begun to act secretly. In just a few days after the meeting, several extremely secretive spies came out.”
“In addition, this meeting also led to another matter, the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization.”
“Oh.” Heckler came back to his senses and raised his eyes, “Tell me about it.”
Yon continued to report: “Through investigation, according to the original plan of the Mechanics Association, the God Craftsman should be preparing to use the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization in exchange for more room for maneuver.”
“But the coordinates of the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization seem to have been known to the Holy Emperor a long time ago and shared with the three major civilizations.”
“Before taking action, eliminate all factors that may cause interference. This is always Adam’s style.” Heckler nodded.
Yon continued to add: “And because of the impact of the Red River Catastrophe, the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization will be accessible in half a year.”
“Half a year later…” Heckler suddenly realized that he knew something about the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization and knew that it was a good place for mechanics.
His eyes were filled with light, “The three major civilizations will not let it go, and the mechanics will not let it go. In other words, Qinglong will also go there when the time comes.”
“Nine times out of ten.” John didn’t dare to speak too fully.
Heckler couldn’t help but nod, his eyes falling on Yon, “You did a good job this time.”
He has been planning the famous Holy Castle and Qinglong, these two things have occupied most of his energy.
As for the intelligence collected by his subordinates, he will only see the final result. What is important and what is not important is difficult to judge when the intelligence is first collected.
Check out the correct version one by one!
This will test the ability of his subordinates.
“It is my duty to solve your problems.” John said sincerely, “However, when Qinglong goes to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, he may take Robin with him.”
“It is indeed possible, but that place is not a kind place, and there are people from the three major civilizations. It is not a good choice to take Robin with you.”
Heckler shook his head and said solemnly: “Besides, he doesn’t know our intention to take action. We must prepare first and make sure that Qinglong appears in the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. Then we will take action.”
“Yes.” Jon nodded, and then looked a little hesitant. Heckler saw his strangeness, “Is there anything else?”
Yon hesitated: “Recently, someone within the royal family is contacting us to trade information about Ryan, but the other party is secretive. I haven’t found out who it is yet, so I don’t dare to have too much contact.”
“Information about trading Ryan?” Heckler was a little surprised and muttered: “Try to contact him first and see what the price is.”
“Understood.” Jon nodded.
………
“You’re looking for me?”
In the room, Robin poked his head in, looking a little confused.
“Come, sit down…”
Li Ming pointed casually, and as soon as Robin sat down, he heard Li Ming say: “I need to hide the housekeeper for a while.”
“Butler…” Robin’s face changed slightly, and he realized something instantly, “Someone wants to attack me?”
Li Ming nodded, not being the Riddler, “Yes, from the empire.”
“Empire…” Robin’s heart palpitated, and he said helplessly: “I know that these big civilizations must know the chosen ones. Can you tell them that I have given up?”
“What do you think?” Li Ming grinned.
Robin couldn’t help but feel sad, “I know.”
After that, he looked at Li Ming eagerly, “Boss, you won’t give up on me, will you?”
“Don’t worry, my teacher is an experienced fisherman.” Li Ming smiled.
Robin’s throat rolled, but with Li Ming’s promise, he felt relieved at least, so he turned back and quickly brought the housekeeper back.
Li Ming gave him a new thing, a silver round metal ball.
“What is this thing?” Robin was confused and looked at the metal ball left and right.
“Just take it.” Li Ming didn’t explain much this time. Robin fiddled with the metal ball and left in a daze.
Li Ming’s thoughts were flying. He was overwhelmed by the recent events. From the Mechanic Association to the Saint Castle, there were many other things mixed in. It seemed as if he was trampling all over.
He was filled with emotion. It was rare for him to leave the core base. The cool air rushed to his face and poured into his lungs. The earth was covered with silver and there were even snowflakes floating.
“Is it winter?”
Li Ming looked up and saw that the planet-level ecological controller was working to simulate the four seasons.
The stars wrapped in metal seemed to be right in front of him. Various spacecrafts could be vaguely seen shuttling outside the hazy clouds. The mechanical royal court was running well.
Li Ming liked to see this scene very much. It was like a simulation business reaching a certain stage. Just watching it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
After a long time of emptying his mind, he exhaled a breath of cold air, shook himself up, turned around and returned to the core base.
And this turn, the sun rose and the moon set, and it took more than four months.
That day, thunder and lightning storms came and went in the mechanical warehouse.
The blue arcs wandered freely in the darkness, and the purple lightning was even more violent, like brilliant fireworks.
The sound waves echoed in the warehouse, and the metal walls flashed dazzling light from time to time under the impact of this powerful energy. The temperature rose sharply, and the air became hot and distorted.
The blue and purple lights intertwined with each other, and the mechanical body underwent a drastic evolution. Li Ming had long been accustomed to it, until–bang!
Suddenly, a red arc exploded suddenly, and the strong light was like the scorching sun in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Under the impact of this arc, the mechanical body in the center seemed to have been stimulated by some extremely strong stimulation, and the originally stable metal parts began to fly up and down uncontrollably.
It was like being pulled apart by an invisible huge force, dancing wildly in the air, flashing a cold metallic luster, colliding with each other and making sharp chirping sounds.
And in the core part of the mechanical body, a powerful energy was surging, the shape was constantly twisted and deformed, and the original structure was quickly broken and reorganized.
New parts grew from the inside, forming a more complex and precise structure, the limbs became stronger and more powerful, and the flexibility of the joints was greatly enhanced.
The red paint was extremely eye-catching, half of the red cloak was pulled out from the back, mysterious patterns gradually emerged on the metal surface, and a red energy blade was condensed in his hand.
Three meters tall, burly and strong, like a swordsman.
Li Ming’s eyes were filled with joy, and he couldn’t help grinning, “Finally, an S-level mechanical body appeared.”
He couldn’t help but walk up and observe carefully.
In the past four months, he has enlightened nearly one million mechanical bodies.
The number of A-level mechanical bodies in the Mechanical King’s Court has exceeded ten.
Now, there is finally an S-level mechanical body. Li Ming admires the mechanical swordsman in front of him, and his heart can’t help but become more and more happy.
With the close cooperation with Star Gate Company, the capital flow of the Mechanical King’s Court has reached a higher level.
However, Li Ming did not continue to expand the manufacturing of mechanical bodies. Instead, he maintained the original manufacturing speed and used all the excess funds to buy metal energy.
Walking out of the warehouse door, Ulrich was waiting there as usual.
