Lion Garden Kingdom, leader of the Netes tribe.
In the tent, the clever machine girls Bena and Domi looked at each other and floated together unfavorably. Because they were coming to see Felica, Luo Wei also brought her machine girl with him.
Their masters, the eastern and western marshals of the Hoof Fire Empire, listened silently to the narrative without saying a word.
Rowe handed over the imitation of the magic doll and Felica's memory.
"This is the last thing she gave me and asked me to tell you thank you for bringing her into this world."
"..."
Felica only took the Rubik's Cube that stored the doll and threw her memory aside.
Luo Wei's mouth went dry as he spoke, and he took out a bottle of magic potion to moisten his throat, "Both of them are famous generals in the mainland. I think there is no need to listen to my speculation anymore."
He only told the story of the incident, but with the understanding of these two people, there was no need to worry at all.
Felica: "..."
Marcus: "..."
The atmosphere in the tent seemed very dull. Felica was chained and sitting on the bed, while Marcus stood in the corner without saying a word, examining her every reaction after hearing what happened.
"So, you are here to kill me, right?" Felica lowered her head expressionlessly, "Then do it."
Marcus stood aside with his arms folded, "If you hadn't insisted on conducting magic research, how could things have evolved into what they are today."
Felica didn't even look at him, "If you hadn't tried your best to stop it at every marshal meeting, how could the Congress have changed the construction location to Crownless City and cooperated with the Craftsmen's Association."
Beina and Domi looked at each other reluctantly and tilted their heads in disdain.
It seems that this situation has happened countless times.
"Don't you know that the follow-up of magic technology is strictly prohibited by the present god?" Marcus put down his arms and his face darkened, "This research should not have happened from the beginning."
"That's right, it shouldn't happen. So the next time you appear as a god, you are not allowed to become a god. Are you planning to commit suicide on the spot?"
"This cannot be generalized. In the past twelve hundred years, the gods have not banned anything else, which shows that the follow-up of magic technology is basically taboo even the gods consider it."
"Yes, it is a taboo. Who allowed the humans from twelve hundred years ago to lure them here?" Felica still held the Rubik's Cube in her hand, "But Marcus, let me ask you...this thousand and two hundred years ago In the past hundred years, have the gods really been guiding mankind? When the empire was in civil strife, you and I participated in the war. Where were the gods at that time? Did the leaders of the nine major temples around the empire come out to stop the rebels from carrying out massacres? "
Marcus fell silent on the subject.
God didn't stop him, so he became a god and killed him.
Even though there were innocent people in the Iron King's tribe, there are no longer Iron King's people in this world.
"My sister and my father all died in that war. They don't ask about your value. No matter how much convenience your accumulated research can bring to the world with just one step, the drop of the knife will make everything return to zero. , did I join the war for this reason?" Felica said with a cold face, "No, I joined the war to avenge the gods."
"I hate their rule. I hate that they cut off the possibility of human development without explaining anything. The one-size-fits-all approach is simply irresponsible. We are restricted by them, but we cannot get their protection. Such a rule is really Is it qualified?"
Felica was actually right.
Regarding this point, Luo Wei also read some relevant literature in the last round.
When the gods left the Second Continent, they warned humans not to conduct research related to "magic flame" - this is an efficient energy source in magic technology and is the basis for the next level of magic technology. All magic researchers in the world, no matter which field they try, will find that they cannot get around the "magic flame".
But the demon flame was forbidden by the present god.
This feeling is like banning humans from building generators. Even if we seek to use other energy sources to replace them, the impact of the lock-up of power technology cannot be made up for.
Of course, in the past, the "Starless Man" was able to perform the operation of bringing the worlds together, thanks to the magic flame, so it is understandable that he was banned by the gods.
But in fact, it is not the magic flame that should be banned. This energy itself is not dangerous, and it is completely different from the easy-to-play energy properties of nuclear energy. What should be banned is some kind of in-depth research with the help of the magic flame.
However, Xian Shen's approach is to directly cut across the foundation.
the reason is simple.
Others may not necessarily know it, but Luo Wei knows it clearly——
They really don't care.
The gods now have no desire to dominate the world here. After returning to the first continent, they have been working hard to restore the ecology of their world. The temple forces left here are their eyes, but they usually don't bother to look at it. Regarding the disputes between various races in the Second Continent, they also looked on with a cold eye with the mentality of causing trouble and handling it themselves. Whether the temple sent troops or not was entirely up to the temple itself. The gods rarely conveyed the oracles in person.
Unless you die calling his name.
Just like the former temple chief shouted the name of Arashi God.
Therefore, Felica's accusation is indeed correct. The gods are the victors of the God War, but they are not qualified rulers - they don't want to rule at all.
As long as you don't use magic flames to destroy the world again, you can play whatever you want.
"I'm not here to argue with you about the rationality of magic technology." Marcus said coldly.
"So what do you want from me? Admit that magic technology is heresy, and then beg you to take my life in your confession?"
"I'm coming today..."
"I have nothing to say to you," Felica shook her head. "I have lost everything. If you want to take action, do it as soon as possible."
"I promised Lovie Brook that I would not take your life if I come today."
"..."
The two fell into silence at the same time.
Luo Wei shrugged aside, seemingly not ready to continue arguing.
"Although it's interesting to see you two quarreling, should we get down to business? Every wrong has its own debtor. Have you mistakenly questioned the person?"
Felica looked up at him and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Luo Wei: "..."
He spread his hands and said, "I don't think I betrayed you."
When narrating those events, Luo Wei did not hide his part. He was indeed involved in stopping the Magic Weapon and the Machine Goddess, but even if he did not take action, the result would be the same. The Magic Doll would instead become a sacrifice to the Craftsmen Guild. .
"It's true that you didn't," Felica looked at him and stretched out the chains on her hands, "but I am your prisoner now."
Luo Wei walked up noncommittally, took out the dark key from his arms, and unlocked her shackles.
"Not from this moment on," he tossed the chains aside, "or rather, not quite."
Felica moved her hands and feet, sat on the bed and glanced in Marcus' direction.
"With your temperament, you have already planned to settle the score directly with those people."
Marcus snorted and crossed his arms again without denying it.
He looked at Luo Wei and closed his eyes, his eyes filled with the pressure of a warrior in desperate situation.
"I owe you a big favor this time. If your goal from the beginning was the Craftsmen's Guild, I will forcefully intervene this time whether you want it or not."
"...As promised beforehand, I have no intention of letting you join my exploration team."
"Haha," Marcus said in amusement at him, "I have to admit that my evaluation of you in the past was biased. You are more surprising than I thought."
"Just don't write me any more lists of high-risk personnel in the empire... Also," Luo Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and then looked at the two of them respectively, "Let the two marshals of the East and West be laid off. Who is controlling this matter in your empire? , you should also know it clearly."
The answer is self-evident.
The southern marshal of the Hooffire Empire—Difas Klirom.
"I am no longer an imperial soldier," Marcus raised his head coldly, "but whether it is Difas or the Craftsmen Guild, I will let them know."
"I, Marcus—"
"eye for eye."
Marcus left with Bena.
The two people who stayed in the tent looked at each other, and Felica looked at Rowe without changing her eyes.
"Tell me what you need from me as a prisoner."
"Don't you need to restore your memory first?" Luo Wei asked.
Felica looked down and saw that the memory ball she had thrown aside rolled aside, as if it had turned into something far away from her.
"I have already surmised the contents. The end of this memory is despair. What's the point of retrieving it?"
"Lady Felica..." Domi hesitated to come up to comfort her master.
Apart from the core, no part of my body is the same as before.
"I'm fine," Felica lifted the quilt and sat up with her back on her back, "I also want to thank you for bringing back the module core of my doll."
"It's just a small effort. She also gave me the core dagger as a reward. Do you mind if I accept it?"
"Haha... It's better to say that it's just right. If this sword is still imbued with divine power, it might also be effective against the Goddess of Mechanics."
She raised her face and looked at Luo Wei, her eyes becoming determined and serious.
"The anger in my heart will not be worse than Marcus, now that you are so close to the truth, towards the Southern Marshal and the Craftsmen Guild who have betrayed and used everything I have."
"As long as there is anything that can make them pay ten times the price—"
"I would do it without hesitation."
…
The ruins of the God War, the Silent Courtyard, and Ke Luoqian’s second workshop.
When they heard the news that Luo Wei was back, several people quickly took off their aprons and went out to welcome him.
But when they saw that he had brought someone back with him, Wei Mier, Sha Ye, and Ayi Ning were stunned for a moment.
Isn't this... Marshal Xi who has been locked up in a tent in the valley?
"Is this your workshop?" Felica looked up and looked around, "I'm a bit capable, but I'm too arbitrary in building structures."
Vermeer blinked.
Well……
Marshal East must not let him in, but Marshal West can...
She looked at the other person's feet, which were stepping on the ground naked without shoes, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart.
Could it be that those shoes were bought for Marshal Xi...
Judging from the size, it seems...
Luo Wei watched them keep looking at Felica, and said with a dark look on his face: "Marshal West will build a workshop in the area next to us. Now he is just here to meet Ke Ruoxi."
He didn't feel comfortable letting Felica come in.
There is an area next door that only has infrastructure built, and it is also in the realm of the beast god Athetana. It was originally reserved for the movie studio, but since they decided to stay in Crownless City, it just happened to be used as Felica's studio, and they also monitored her.
"So, which one of you is Kexi?" Felica asked, "You have replaced every part of my machine girl."
Although he was only wearing a pajama dress and his semi-dwarf heritage made him petite, the aura of a superior person in his words could not be ignored.
With green hair and purple eyes, he couldn't be imagined as a dwarf in appearance. I wonder if it was a change after moving freely. Compared with the time when he was captured, his eyes looked brighter and his temperament was immediately revealed.
"She...she should still be in the workshop now," Vermeer glanced in the direction of the forge, "Well, we..."
"Really, I can already smell the smell of burning iron," Felica frowned, "But isn't the temperature not enough? Why does it still seem to be mushy?"
Wei Mil paused.
Even... can you even smell this?
That's probably... Shaye's cooking...
"Can you take me to have a look?" Felica turned to look at Luo Wei, "If possible, I hope to build a workshop and start research as soon as possible."
"...Okay," Luo Wei glanced at the women in front of him, "Do you want to come together?"
All three agreed.
Above the courtyard, only Eluse was sitting in the pavilion, seemingly very interested in him taking away the East Marshal and bringing back the West Marshal.
Entering the hall, it was obvious that the three girls had a lot to say about his return this time, but Luo Wei smelled a slight smell of barbecue.
This is……?
Felica also smelled it, she shrank her nose and looked at Rowe slightly.
"It seems that you are about to start dinner. I have been fed by others for several months, so you probably don't mind letting me join in."
"no."
Without waiting for Luo Wei to answer, Shaye flatly rejected her.
Well……
In Vermeer's opinion, Shaye's attitude was just like the food she cooked.
Felica was stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled in relief, "I took the liberty. It seems you have a lot of rules here."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the burning iron.
"Not over there!" Ayi Ning quickly stopped her.
"But the smell is obviously coming from here. Wait... you put the kitchen and the forge together?"
"...The forging room is on the left." Luo Wei reminded with a black line on his face.
At the same time, he glanced at Vermeer beside him.
What are you doing...
Xiaoerwuzai looked at him with an expression that said, "I have a lot to say, but it's not the right time when there are outsiders here, so I'm in a hurry and I'm asking you to deal with it quickly."
This expression is really long.
Luo Wei shook his head and secretly pinched the girl's butt. It seemed that he came back and left before dark, which made them worry for a while.
He helplessly looked at the three people who were following Felica and did not lead the way, and whispered:
"Don't worry, after taking Felica to confirm, it will be all your time."
