Chapter 73 Brainstorming MAX
To be honest, Duanmu Huai is not willing to interfere with this nonsense. After all, when any Inquisitor hears the three words "Mechanicus", he will feel a little... Well, you know.
But since the Archbishop said so, he would just... give it a try.
After getting Duanmuhuai's consent, Lelia clapped her hands, and then Duanmuhuai saw a priest walking in from outside the door. Speaking of which, Duanmuhuai knew this priest. He was the one who went to the machine with Duanmuhuai and others. The guy I met in church who transformed his whole body into a Terminator. It's just that at this moment, the priest's face completely lost the seriousness and calmness before. On the contrary, he looked haggard, as if he had been playing games for days and nights without a wink of sleep.
"Hello, Lord Knight."
When he came to Duanmuhuai, the priest bowed and lowered his head.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Duanmuhuai looked at the priest curiously. He did not believe in any religious beliefs, and he knew nothing about the teachings of the Mechanicus. If the priest wanted to talk to him about scriptures and Taoism, then it would be unnecessary.
"I just want to ask you a question, Lord Knight."
The Steel Priest raised his head, stared at Duanmu Huai, and looked at the set of power armor on his body.
"Excuse me, why do you want to put on this steel armor? What is your goal?"
"I think you've made a mistake, Father."
Duanmuhuai didn't hide it, he just told the truth - after all, he didn't know what to say.
"First of all, I have no attachment to this thing. I don't understand your thoughts or your teachings. For me, this set of power armor is just a means to achieve my goal. Protect order and eliminate chaos. I need strength, and it gives me strength, it's that simple... I'm sorry, if you want to hear something more profound from me... I can't tell you that."
At first, the priest looked a little disappointed when he heard Duanmuhuai's answer. However, when he heard the answer later, the priest's expression slowly changed. He stared at the power armor on Duanmu Huai and murmured to himself.
"...Purpose......Mean..."
While muttering, Father Steel lowered his head, while Duanmu Huai looked at the archbishop inexplicably, not knowing what to say.
However, at this time......
"I understand! Lord Knight!!"
Suddenly, the Iron Priest raised his head again. At this moment, his face no longer showed the original decadence and frustration, but was replaced by excitement and fanaticism.
"Uh..."
What do you understand?
Looking at the Iron Priest in front of him, Duanmu Huai was confused. He didn't understand the brain circuits of these priests at all. Each of them had MAX brain supplementation ability. Who knows what they understood. The Iron Priest turned around and looked at the Archbishop, with a look of fanaticism on his face.
"I understand! What we have been thinking has deviated from the right track. We are servants of the gods and should serve the gods and protect the people! Instead of just indulging in these boring little things! As the Lord Knight said, whether it is exercise Transformation is just a means, and the ultimate goal is to better serve the gods! But we ignore this and are just pursuing the limit of transformation... This is wrong!”
Having said this, the priest looked at Duanmuhuai again.
"Sir Knight, thank you for your teaching. Sure enough, the most profound truth is always found in the simplest words... Thank you for making me wake up and find the way forward!"
"Ah...well...just try your best...this is...very good, isn't it..."
Hearing what the priest said, Duanmu Huai looked confused. His mental ability was really at the MAX level. He only said one sentence, how did he understand this?
You will definitely get full marks if you take the reading test...
Father Steel didn't know what Duanmu Huai was complaining about in his heart. Anyway, he seemed to have figured it out, and then turned around and left happily. When Duanmuhuai saw that he had nothing to do, he said hello to the archbishop and left.
After that, Duanmu Huai learned that after hearing the priest's explanation (I don't know what he said), the group of people from the Mechanicus immediately changed their minds one by one and decided to use the power of steel they had obtained to serve the Holy City and the people. Therefore, they specially formed an organization called the "Holy Holy Army", which is responsible for patrolling the Holy City, maintaining law and order, and helping the people. Moreover, they also asked Duanmu Huai to serve as the honorary commander of the Crusaders... Of course, this is all for the future.
Walking out of the church, Duanmuhuai also saw the clergy around him. It has to be said that as a religious organization, the Holy Church can really be regarded as "full of martial virtues." The clergy in this church, both men and women, are all martial sects. The male priests and priests are all tall, muscular men who can wear priest robes into tights. Although women look petite and cute, it can be seen from the long swords, maces, war hammers and other weapons they carry with them that they are definitely far from the clergy that ordinary people think of.
In fact, even the followers of the Mechanicus have not deviated from the teachings. According to them, no matter how much human beings exercise their bodies, there are limits. Not only can machines easily surpass flesh and blood, but they can also strengthen their faith in gods through dedication and sacrifice. Human beings have limits, so... I don't want to be a human anymore! !
That’s why we say these believers are really difficult to deal with.
"Lord Knight."
Just as Duanmuhuai walked out of the church, a voice sounded. Duanmuhuai turned around and saw Meludi standing quietly at the door, as upright as a guard on guard duty.
"Hey, Meludi, what's the matter?"
Compared to Lorena, Duanmu Huai was not very familiar with Meludi. He only knew that Meludi seemed to have a military background and behaved like a soldier. Meludi seldom spoke on weekdays, and just followed everyone quietly, like a guard.
If such a person suddenly stopped him, it would definitely not be as simple as saying hello.
"Yes, there is something I want to discuss with you, about the doll area..."
Meludi didn't talk nonsense, but quickly and concisely explained the matter. After listening, Duanmu Huai finally understood why she came to find him. It turns out it has something to do with the doll area.
I have said before that there is a puppet area because of the existence of the Mechanicus. Now that the Mechanicus no longer exists, the existence of the puppet area is not necessary. Not only that, but the puppets that caused the killings in the Holy City were made by the puppet masters in the puppet area, so many people there are worried at the moment and don't know if they will be punished for this. Or simply be kicked out of the Holy City...
They heard that Duanmu Huai would be in charge of those who teach the Mechanicus, so Kukulu went to Meludi specifically and asked her to help ask what would happen next.
"The doll area..."
After listening to Meludi's words, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment. He had to say that the technical experts in the doll area were really awesome. At least when Duanmuhuai followed Meludi to the doll area before, even though he was just taking a quick look. He took a look at it, but he was still quite impressed.
For Duanmu Huai, he hopes that the doll area will continue to exist. After all, those technologies are very useful. The world of soul fragments is a projection of the main plane, and the people here themselves will not grow. But they can create other things, such as the (mechanical soldiers) and (creations) created by [Sky City], and the dolls created by [Doll Room].
Duanmu Huai also hopes that this doll area can be preserved, and then he can create some brand new soul cards for himself... he may not know when they will be used.
But before that, he still had some things to figure out.
"Meludi, you are familiar with the doll section, right?"
"Yes."
"So, can you take me to a puppet shop? I want to find a puppet technician to ask some questions."
"Okay."
Although she didn't know what Duanmuhuai was going to do, Meludi agreed to Duanmuhuai's request and took him to a shop in the center of the doll area. This shop looked quite big, and there were also pictures in the glass display window. Various wooden dolls are displayed. Duanmuhuai followed Meludi into the store, and then saw Meludi coming to the counter and gently pressing the bell.
Soon, a voice sounded from behind the counter.
“Welcome!”
Duanmu Huai looked around and saw standing behind the counter a little boy who looked about ten years old. He was wearing a set of work clothes and was trying hard to climb up on the chair. After sitting on the chair, the little boy saw Meludi and said hello.
"Hey, Meludi, why are you free to come to my place today?"
"I'm here with someone. The Lord Knight wants to ask you some questions."
As she spoke, Meludi turned to Duanmuhuai.
"Sir Knight, this is Buddy, the puppet technician. His skills are among the best in the puppet area."
"One of the best?"
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai looked at the kid in front of him in confusion.
"But he looks like a little kid."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Buddy stood up from his stool angrily, and still looked up at Duanmuhuai angrily.
"I am not a child, I am much older than you! Little devil!!"
"Oh?"
"Mr. Buddy is a dwarf."
At this time, Meludi also explained.
"…………Dwarf?"
Looking at the guy who looked like a ten-year-old child in front of him, and comparing it with the walking bearded wine barrels he had encountered before, Duanmuhuai asked... Is the gap between the two too big? Bigger?
"......That's right, kid, what do you want to do with me?"
Buddy was obviously dissatisfied with Duanmuhuai treating him like a child, and sat down angrily. Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"I want to...see how the doll is made."
"…………Huh???"
