Chapter 370 Human beings have limits, machines become gods
Living room.
Wayne sat alone on the sofa and looked through the information and maps, marking the maps with a red pen from time to time.
The information was sent by Senna, and it involved the Pope and the three oracle high priests. Once leaked, the reputation of the entire Natural Church's high-level officials would be ruined.
Although it had a mediocre reputation in the past, that fig leaf has always existed. In the eyes of the believers at the bottom, the pope and the oracle priests are superior, and they are all saints with lofty ideals.
Senna returned to the church headquarters with the Elemental Mantra, keeping in contact with Wayne in her mind, waiting for his next order.
In principle, the Natural Knight has no right to interfere with the Natural Church, not to mention that Wayne is only the God-chosen successor, not the unique Natural Knight.
But in principle it doesn't work, but in practice it can be done. Wayne just doesn't want to set a precedent.
The church's top leaders have too much dark history, and if you look up it at random, it's a mess. There's no need to go to war to drive them out of office, just stick the evidence on their faces.
Only then would Wayne roll up his sleeves and flex his muscles if they were unreasonable.
I'll try to reason with you, but if you don't listen, then don't blame me for talking about physics!
In the corner of the living room, the two sisters put their heads together, muttering without daring to speak loudly.
Because of the natural knight's halo, Wayne's image in Nelson's heart has changed, and he no longer persuades his sister to resign and go home to take over the family business.
From the perspective of a magician, the status of the God's Chosen Knight is extremely high. Working for the Natural Knight, no matter how many people kneel down, they can't find this path.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many beauties around Wayne, and he was flirting with his charming older sister in front of his girlfriend, and his private life was too chaotic, she would have asked her sister to help introduce her to jobs.
"Boss, have you found anything?"
Otilia brought the brewed black tea, filled half a cup for Wayne, and sat aside to help him compile the information.
The sitting position is very intimate, a little more active than usual, as if it is rolled up.
"This information cannot be used as evidence, and I can't find anything by looking at the map. I'm going to go out for a walk tonight to collect some substantive evidence." Wayne said without raising his head.
Otilia pushed up her glasses and leaned towards Wayne again. The unique fragrance of the girl spread out. Before Wayne showed anything, her face was already red.
"Just be yourself. Don't compare with Senna. She is a legendary mage and has dragon blood. It's not normal." Wayne glanced at Ottilia.

Otilia was a little dissatisfied. Ever since the relationship between the two changed, Wayne had been accommodating her, behaving like a gentleman and being considerate, and no longer had the shameless attitude before.
It's shameful to say that she prefers the bad guy from before.
Otilia knew how Wayne felt about taking care of her, but the more this happened, the more distant the two of them were. She mustered up the courage and said: "Boss, I am not comparing myself to Teacher Senna. I am your secretary. Miss Mona is also your secretary, she is the one I am comparing to."
"It's different, you're still my girlfriend."
Then we should be more intimate. What is the difference between me and Regina now?
Ottilia blinked: "Boss, there are too many places marked on the map. Do you need me to go on a mission tonight?"
"Task!"
Regina ran over quickly: "Boss, do you have any tasks for me?"
Among the fourteen vengeful spirits packaged in one go, she was the one with the highest enthusiasm for work. She was self-disciplined, rigorous, and meticulous. She could work overtime and never delay the solution until the next day, which fit Wayne's stereotype of the Prussians.
"There is indeed a task for you..."
Wayne touched his chin and pointed on the map: "Go and check several targets located in the city. Be careful and don't expose your whereabouts. It doesn't matter if you can't find them out. You must not alert others."
"Make sure to complete the mission."
"Well, let's go back and buy you a new bag."
Wayne drew a piece of worthless pie, looked at Otilia and said, "Beauty, do you want to make a date tonight?"
sure.
Otilia was about to agree when she noticed from the corner of her eye that Regina was very enthusiastic about her work. She pushed up her glasses and said, "Boss, it's working time now. Please don't get involved in personal relationships. This will trouble me very much."
Okay, okay, you play like this too, right?
Wayne almost laughed out loud and said with a straight face: "It's my fault, secretary, you will go on a mission with me tonight and perform well, otherwise your salary will be deducted."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Otilia stood up and said.
Regina was confused and confused. She couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing. Didn't Otilia want to get close to the boss? Why did she take the initiative to distance herself?
Ready to break up?
Wayne asked Regina to remember the red dots marked on the map, and took Otilia to take the first step. Before Regina could go out, her sister Nelson blocked the way.
"Nelson, it's time for me to go to work. Just wait at home and I'll play with you when you come back."
"Is this how you talk to your sister?"
"There are no sisters in the magic world, only strong ones. You taught me this truth."
The two stared at each other, and Regina shrugged: "The mission is dangerous, I can't take you out. Believe me, you know too much today, which is very unfriendly to your life safety."
Nelson looked at his sister who had greatly improved in strength, feeling envious and happy for her. Then looking at himself standing still, he had extremely complicated thoughts and wanted to change back to the sister who could protect her.
"Regina, does your current strength have something to do with your knight boss?" Nelson gritted his teeth.
"Ang, he gave it all to me."
Regina was absolutely certain that everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to life, enhancement, and succubus form was given by Wayne. She didn't have to think too much, she would do whatever Wayne said and there would be no mistakes.
"So, can you recommend a job for me?" Nelson hesitated. Putting aside the chaos in his private life, Wayne might be a really good boss.
Taking a step back and looking from the employee's perspective, what does it have to do with the employees whether the boss's private life is chaotic or not?
It must be said that employees have fun to relieve boring work.
That's a good thing!
Nelson forcibly comforted himself and looked at Regina eagerly, hoping that his sister would help introduce her. Seeing her frowning and saying nothing, he hurriedly said: "Regina, you know me, I am very capable."
"This is not a question of whether you can do it or not..."
Regina shook her head. Working for Wayne, she had to die with resentment. She couldn't confess the truth. Seeing her sister's face full of hope, she could only say: "When the boss comes back, I will put in a good word for you, but if he refuses, , I can’t help it.”
"From what you say, he will definitely refuse?"
"If nothing else happens..."
"I'll help you with your tasks. If you perform well, you'll get extra points."
"This won't work. If you dare to go out here, I won't have you as a sister!"

Wien was the former capital of Osteria. After it was annexed to Prussia, it no longer considered itself a capital. Surrounded by dense forests on three sides and with numerous rivers, it is a romantic city covered in greenery and music.
Wayne's goal tonight was to stay away from the city center, walking along the Seineau River and stepping into the hinterland of a sparsely populated forest. The night sky was full of stars, the breeze blew through, and the melodious waltz could still be heard.
This city has a strong music atmosphere. If that person didn't teach himself painting, but learned music, maybe...
The pressure is even greater, and you still have to fail.
Learning to draw will not save Prussia!
Wayne walked through the forest at night, walking very fast, and Otilia followed closely behind. Her own strength improved with Wayne, and the increase was so fast that she herself was a little frightened.
The two walked quickly for ten minutes, and Wayne seemed to have his own magnetic field radar, crossing the mountains and reaching a hidden mountain path.
He raised his foot and stepped on the road: "It's a good load-bearing load, but it's a pity for civilian use, and it's still in such a remote mountain col..."
You've found the right place!
The first goal was a big harvest. Wayne secretly revealed his luck, made a gesture to Otilia, and then only used his thoughts to communicate.
The two men moved forward again, and soon arrived at a military restricted area. Several searchlights scanned the shadows of the surrounding forest, and several teams of soldiers with live ammunition set up checkpoints.
Wayne pondered whether to sneak in. Tonight was not the time to close the net, and it was not appropriate to alert the enemy.
But he had come, and there was no reason to be scared away by a few Prussian soldiers. He was not a Frank and could withstand loud shouts in Prussian.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Wayne avoided the searchlight and walked towards the military restricted area. With his thinking ability, the entire military restricted area and the underground fortress were covered, which was enough to reverse the perception of these soldiers, and they could only pretend to be unaware of his presence.
Just in case, Wayne didn't go too far and avoided when necessary. He perfectly lurked and passed the level, only blinding the guard's perception at the entrance of the underground castle.
The entrance to the castle is covered by a thick iron gate, and the passages are crisscrossed like a huge maze.
As soon as he walked in, Wayne noticed a chilly air blowing against his face, and there was the faint roar of huge machinery, as if construction work was constantly excavating something at night.
Before traveling through time, Wayne had heard a lot of descriptions of Prussian black technology, as well as infernal science, alchemy and other mysterious and dark black magic.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the Allied Stars and Stripes Captain being even more outrageous, it would be hard to say who would win in this battle.
I digress.
Wayne spread his thoughts and crawled along the walls of the underground castle, sorting out a complex terrain map of three-dimensional modeling in his mind.
A large underground base with several large scientific research laboratories, and there are some studies that Wayne is very interested in.
"Void life..."
"Hell container..."
"Prussia has indeed mastered a large number of black technologies with a large number of magically created troops..."
Wayne opened his eyes, rubbed his hands and led Otilia to the first laboratory. The research data was beneficial to his evolution. The underground castle was a treasure trove of knowledge for him.
It's not in vain, Prussia's wool will last a long time.
There are no two shifts in the laboratory, and there is no talk of staying up late or working overtime. Scientific researchers are treasured wherever they are. It is almost late at night, and although the laboratory lights are on, most of the scientific researchers have gone back to their dormitories to rest.
Wayne and Otilia picked up the white coats hanging on the wall and put them on. With their strong thinking...excellent eloquence and extremely friendly smile, they convinced several bright-headed researchers that he was new.
It is convenient for Wayne to borrow data if he has someone to guide him.
He quickly wrote down the experimental data and found a directory in the top-secret file, which recorded the locations of several other scientific research bases in Prussia.
This catalog alone makes Wayne's trip worthwhile.
Otilia helped organize the information. The shocking research data made her scalp numb, especially the mass-produced void soldiers. The bold design concept really shocked her. As we all know, the most critical and important information is not kept in the laboratory, but in the safe in the base commander's office.
Wayne was full of gains and his desire became stronger. He went to the office alone, skillfully picked the door and slid the lock to open several layers of doors, and got the important information he wanted.
One look at it made Wayne's scalp tingle.
The cooperation between the Natural Church and the Prussian authorities far exceeded his expectations. To be precise, it was Pope Ludwig who had previously provided a lot of help and helped Prussia expand its war potential.
From energy to reserves, the combination of magic and machinery collided with wonderful sparks. On a design drawing, magicians and artillery are integrated into one, and the advanced concept is full of cyber style.
"Good thing, if we let him succeed, sweeping the God's Chosen Continent will not be a dream."
Wayne was both surprised and delighted. What surprised him was Prussia's war background. If the ideas on the design drawings came true, the impregnable defense line would be able to be penetrated from the front.
Of course, this is based on the premise that other churches are watching.
Fortunately, the design concept was also used by Wayne himself. The Pale Knight is good at using cold weapons, but he did not say that it cannot be transformed into hot weapons. This idea is worth exploring, and it opened the door to a new world in front of him.
Wayne looked through the information in the vault and became more and more frightened.
"The Gate of Hell is mentioned here, as well as detailed records of the summoning of the seven demon kings' vessels, and considerable progress has been made..."
"Geothermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy. The machine just now is... This pipe is inserted really deep. Aren't you afraid of digging to the entrance of hell?"
"Trace of the devil's blood..."
"The theoretical research and conception of the God's Chosen Knight cannot be studied without physical objects, so it is sealed..."
"Magic aircraft, super flying fortress, absolute air supremacy..."
"Heavy atom nuclear fission reaction..."
"The world has been suffering from physical pain for a long time. Human beings have their limits. Machines can become gods..."
"What exactly is the belief in gods, and what does the pollution of information mean to gods..."
Half an hour later, Wayne put down all the information, feeling uneasy for a long time.
It is just a scientific research base, but the accumulated achievements make the Ministry of Magic in Windsor look like a small business and quite petty.
It’s not that Windsor’s research team is not good, but that there is a huge gap in philosophy. Windsor’s legendary mages are too conservative and too selfish, and their research projects are only for themselves. On the other hand, Prussia plans for the possibility of mass production for every kind of research.
First for military use, then for civilian use, and after obtaining research funds, they continue to be invested in military use. The cycle repeats, and the funding chain continues.
"It's good, but can this thing be popularized for civilian use?"
Wayne looked at a stack of blueprints. The magician's flesh and blood were replaced by spears and cannons. The fusion of aircraft and tanks was outrageous, as well as the fusion of battleships and aircraft carriers.
"How can this thing be promoted to civilian use? All people will be mechanically upgraded, right?"
Wayne couldn't complain, and the scene of London being attacked by an airstrike flashed before his eyes. A half-man, half-fighter-style monster had its chest split open and aimed at Buckingham Palace and threw a small fat man.
Boom! The island country is recruiting nuclear weapons again.
Queen Jade Audio...
Oh, the Queen was neutralized. Auston's voice spread throughout Windsor, and everyone raised their hands in surrender.
"If Prussia's concept drawings are all fulfilled, the Gate of Hell and the like will seem to be just average." Wayne returned the information to its original place, erased the traces he left, and rushed Otilia to the next target.
"Boss, you look ugly."
"Well, Prussia has the ability to open the gate to hell, and it is very likely that he has contacted a certain hell demon. This news must be passed to the Holy See as soon as possible. Even if it is only possible, Prussia cannot be allowed to mess around." Wayne frowned. The word 'Chuan'.
The known opening location of the Gate of Hell is the Catacombs of Paris, Lundam is to be determined, and now there is another one in Prussia, the specific location is unknown.
There is nothing wrong with seven reincarnated angels descending in one go. Wayne thought it was too much before, but now he feels it is too little. Seven is not enough, at least seventy are needed. Otherwise, if you block the east side and cannot block the west side, your work will be in vain in the end.
"Has any evidence of cooperation between the top leaders of the Church of Nature and Prussia been found?"
"We can't talk about evidence. It's just a Prussian family theory. If we haven't found the account books, there's nothing we can do about it," Wayne said.
The information only mentioned that Pope Ludwig provided technical assistance, but did not elaborate on the technology. Moreover, it happened many years ago. Ludwig could find any reason to put aside the relationship.
Wayne had a headache. The target of his investigation was the top brass of the Church of Nature. After checking, he turned out to be a bold Prussia.
Who said that is so right, you can't check everything, what if you find something!
Wayne has revealed so many things before he even did any research. If he really digs deeper...
"Wait, since I can find out, the Papal State, which is the number one force in the God's Chosen Continent, must also know that the old boy Chengsu Chengsu couldn't sleep and hurriedly looked for the reincarnated angel. Most probably because he knew too much."
After Wayne pondered for a while, he could remind the Papal States, but he could not always be at the forefront. If there was a traitor in the Papal State and sent his information to hell, the devil would definitely find a way to open the door in Lundan to cause trouble for him.
After thinking about it, it was more reasonable to send a prompt through the official channel of the Church of Nature. It not only informed the intelligence about the Gate of Hell, but also allowed the Church of Nature to put aside the relationship with Prussia.
In the past, the previous pope was not a good man, but now, under the leadership of the Natural Knight, the new pope is a well-behaved man and is down-to-earth for the benefit of God's Chosen Continent.
"Perfect, that's it!"
Wayne finalized the follow-up plan and prepared to cut through the mess quickly. He stayed up late and worked overtime in the next few days to investigate all the targets at once, allowing Senna to use the evidence to clear out the high-level insects, and then contact the Papal State as the Pope.
Just as he was thinking about it, Si Si received Regina's message and turned his head to look towards the city.
"You are so unlucky that this has happened to you..."
————
Urban area, abandoned factory buildings.
Regina followed Wayne's order and arrived at the third investigation location. After completing the exploration of the surrounding area, she did not go deep in the first place. Instead, she got into the sewer and checked the surrounding terrain.
This stronghold is the territory of Weaving, the oracle high priest of the Church of Nature. He provides people and technology, while the Prussian authorities provide funds and equipment. The two parties cooperate in a friendly manner and share experimental results.
The research at the stronghold revolves around the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast. A fire broke out in the warehouse of the Church of Nature headquarters, and the stronghold had more research materials.
The research and development project is mass-produced void soldiers. The upper level is a laboratory and the lower level is an explosive ordnance factory. It has now entered the mass production stage.
At the entrance of the factory, several military cars stopped. More than a dozen officers got out of the cars, and the oracle high priest Wei Wen was also there.
This is a middle-aged man with a gentle smile. He wears a neat suit and has never worn a robe. He looks more like a social elite, a doctor or a lawyer.
Regina squatted nearby. She had seen Wei Wen's photo in the information and recognized the face. Without thinking much, she immediately tried to contact Wayne.
Big fish, I can protect you tonight!
"Two generals, you have inspected the factory before. I will not accompany you tonight. Please allow me to leave for a while." Wei Wen politely led a group of officers to the entrance of the factory and asked the person in charge to Conduct reception.
"Mr. Vivian, I have several very important questions here."
"Sorry, I have more important questions here."
Wei Wen smiled slightly and glanced at where Regina was hiding: "There is a little mouse that needs to be cleaned up. If you leave it alone, it will disturb us, won't it?"
The two officers suddenly understood, smiled and nodded.
They are not worried about anything happening to Wei Wen. The legendary mage is already the best in the world. As long as he doesn't run into the chosen knight, he can walk sideways anywhere.
Especially high-level church officials like Wei Wen, the Oracle High Priest, are also top-notch among the legendary mages.
"Mr. Vivian, I hope you can return as soon as possible."
"It won't take much time."
"As it should be."
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and a group of officers followed the person in charge into the factory.
Wei Wen turned around and looked in the direction where Regina disappeared, the smile on his face faded, and his eyebrows turned sinister for a moment: "Whose person is it, Baker or McCary?"
"These two guys left Senna alone but came to deal with me. Do you really think that bitch will just stay there!"
Wei Wen took one step forward, and his body disappeared like a teleportation. After a few steps, he closed the distance between him and Regina.
When he noticed Regina moving towards the forest on the outskirts of the city, he still said unhurriedly: "Run away, wherever you can go today, just wait and die!"
…
On the banks of the Seineau.
The wide river flows calmly, the lights in the distance illuminate the night sky, and the two-color stars are bright.
Regina's black robe covered her whole body and stopped moving by the river. A pale wrinkled mask was attached to her face, and the spiral folds were deeply sunken at the eye sockets.
The mask looks ominous.
"Why don't you run away?"
Wei Wen looked around and said contemptuously: "Would you choose to die here or have your accomplices nearby? If it's the latter, you don't have to wait any longer. I tell you responsibly that your accomplices have given up on you and there is no life nearby." people."
"You can't say that, I've always been alive."
A soft whisper came from the distance, lingering in my ears and unable to be dispelled, as if it was far away yet close to my heart.
Wei Wenzhi's eyes suddenly shrank when he heard this, and he turned around suddenly and looked over: "Who is there, Ludwig, is it you?"
In the darkness, a twisted shadow stretched infinitely.
