Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'

Chapter 1908 - 1501: Unspeakable Secrets

Outside the door, Su Mo heard this, and was very moved. The old man was really kind to him.At this moment, the Creator·Swallower said to Su Mo.

"Stop daydreaming, hurry up and find a place to hide."

"Uh..."

Su Mo suddenly came to his senses and quickly ran to the corner to hide.

Su Mo had just hidden when the study door opened.

Icaroya walked out coldly and headed straight for the door.

Su Mo looked at Icaroya’s gradually fading back, then walked out from the corner and sighed with relief.

"Luckily, I didn’t get discovered."

If he had been discovered, it really would have been extremely awkward.

Just then, a hoarse voice came from inside the study.

"What are you doing out there? Come in?"

Su Mo was momentarily taken aback, then walked into the study with a full smile and called out to the old man attentively.

"Master, here I am, have you eaten?"

The old man glanced at Su Mo and saw his enthusiasm. He knew that this guy probably didn’t have anything good in mind. He coughed and indifferently asked.

"No need to butter me up, what brings you here?"

"Master truly has the ability, seeing through my little thoughts at a glance."

Su Mo said with a smile. As for Icaroya and the eavesdropping episode, the two of them tacitly did not mention it.

"Alright, get to the point."

The old man had no mood to banter with Su Mo.

"It’s like this, I want to borrow a team of high-tech engineers from you. You sell so many weapons over the years, surely you have your own team?"

Su Mo said with a cheeky smile.

The old man’s cloudy eyes stared at Su Mo, his brows slightly furrowed, and said.

"What do you want them for?"

"To repair the Fortress."

Su Mo answered directly without hiding anything.

"What Fortress?"

The old man was quite surprised; he didn’t expect Su Mo to borrow a construction team for Fortress repairs.

"This Fortress."

Su Mo lifted his electronic bracelet, operated for a moment, and displayed the full image of the Alien Nest Fortress·Heart of Forbidden Prison.

"Isn’t this the Heart of Forbidden Prison? Didn’t expect you to get your hands on this."

The old man recognized it immediately upon seeing the image and said with surprise.

"Ah, master is truly skilled; recognized it in one look! Is this Fortress famous?"

Su Mo asked with anticipation. In truth, he still wasn’t clear about this Fortress’s origin.

"It’s famous, alright, but not for good reasons."

The old man pondered for a moment and replied with a somewhat peculiar expression.

"Ah? Really?"

Su Mo was quite surprised too.

"This Fortress is a strategic level weapon Fortress of the Alien race, but it’s also their disgrace. In that war, it didn’t serve any function and got sunk."

The old man’s words carried a trace of sarcasm.

"This..."

Su Mo’s mouth twitched continuously. This was too misleading.

"But you needn’t worry. The Fortress itself is quite good. It’s mainly that a bunch of fools were using it, so it getting sunk isn’t surprising."

The old man said blandly.

"That’s a relief. I’m definitely not like those fools."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"Alright, this Fortress is pretty good, and very worth repairing. I’ll give you the construction team."

The old man said hoarsely to Su Mo.

"Thank you, master."

Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he replied very happily.

"Alright, you don’t need to say such unnecessary things. Anything else?"

The old man seemed a bit tired, not wanting to waste time on pointless talk.

Su Mo thought for a bit, his eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled and said to the old man: "Not really. By the way, master, do you have anything that needs doing? I can help you out; I’m quite free lately."

"Things?"

The old man was quite surprised.

"Yes, like finding stone tablets or something..."

Su Mo expressed clearly, actually taking initiative to help the old man.

In fact, Su Mo knew best how good the old man had been to him, which made him very moved.

Su Mo also realized one thing, Xiao Shi had been given to him by the old man.

Coming from a lower civilization, in the eyes of higher civilization beings, he was as insignificant as an ant.

Although the old man’s temper was awful, he never underestimated Su Mo, always treating him equally.

This reminded Su Mo of his late grandfather, and he felt a whirlwind of emotions, which prompted him to want to do something for the old man.

The old man fell into silence; he understood very well what Su Mo’s expression meant and was quite moved.

Su Mo waited quietly, and for a while, the atmosphere was silent.

Finally, the old man spoke hoarsely, breaking the silence.

"I’ll give you a piece of information. Proceed as you see fit."

"Okay, no problem."

Su Mo agreed immediately.

The old man raised his left hand and operated on his electronic bracelet, then transmitted a confidential file to Su Mo.

Su Mo took a glance, then said to the old man.

"Master, I’ll be on my way then."

"Go."

The old man replied indifferently.

As Su Mo turned and was about to leave, he paused.

"What is it now?"

The old man looked at Su Mo with cloudy eyes.

"I just remembered another thing."

Su Mo said somewhat awkwardly.

"Speak!"

"Old man, do you have technology for the Anti-Matter Series weapons?"

Su Mo asked with some difficulty. Although this technology could be obtained from Star Ring City, the merit required was daunting.

"The engineering team I’m giving you is proficient in all sorts of technologies. You can just go to them for whatever you need."

The old man replied with a blank face.

"Got it, master."

Su Mo was quite surprised, but quickly understood.

"Go."

The old man waved his hand tiredly.

Su Mo exited the study and casually closed the door.

And once the door closed, the old man continued sitting in his chair, looking at the direction where Su Mo left, his eyes filled with a sense of confusion.

On the other side, Su Mo came out, took a deep breath, and as he walked out, he spoke to Xiao Shi.

"Xiao Shi, let me ask you a question."

"Speak."

"What’s the old man’s identity? He seems to be an extraordinary person."

"That’s natural."

"Who exactly is he then?"

"Why bother knowing so much? You can’t compare to him anyway."

"Of course, I know that. I’m just curious. See how the old man can converse with Lord Icaroya; what’s their relationship? Could they be relatives?"

"Kind of."

The Creator·Swallower replied deeply.

"Wow, they really are relatives? What’s the old man’s divine status? Tell me."

Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he asked with increasing curiosity.

However, Xiao Shi grew increasingly silent and didn’t answer Su Mo for a long time.

"What’s wrong? Can’t tell? Is there some unspeakable secret?"

Su Mo asked, quite puzzled.
