"Excuse me, why would you rather make yourself uncomfortable than make a shameful but comfortable choice?"
The Ex-Machina girl's question made Rick's head grow bigger.
Rick stood up straight, put his hand on the girl's shoulder and said seriously.
"Hubby, there are many things in this world that don't have so many reasons. Those things happen very strangely, but they are still true.
We cannot deny their existence, but if you go to the bottom to ask why, you will only get some answers that make you feel baffled, which is of no benefit.
Why don't we just forget about it and let's continue exploring this place! "
Hubie looked at Rick carefully, the expression on his face did not change at all, he just shook his head.
"Your heartbeat rate first accelerated, and now it slows down. According to the knowledge taught to me by Teacher SB, you are now trying to perfunctory me.
Therefore, I cannot agree to your request.
Even if what I finally got was an answer I couldn't understand.
The mentor once said that it is those things that one cannot understand that are more likely to form the so-called 'heart' - the human heart! "
Rick's arms froze, along with the smile on his face.
"Don't do this, okay?"
She smiles on the outside, but she's crazy in her heart.
Before Wu Ke left, he handed some strange knowledge to Hubi, which made Hubi feel obsessed.
"No, I help humans because I want to gain hearts. This is the reward for my labor. As the leader of the human settlement, Rick, you cannot and should not refuse to pay me."
Looking like a ruthless salary seeker, Hubie stretched out his little hand and spread it out in front of Rick.
"You can't hide the knowledge about [Heart] from me. You should tell me your true thoughts in time. With that kind of information, I can analyze the meaning of [Heart] and achieve my true purpose."
Rick fell silent and looked at Hubby. After a while, he suddenly asked.
"After you achieve your goal, will you leave the settlement and leave my side?"
"This is……"
(Of course, the main reason why this body separates from the linked body is to analyze the so-called [heart]. If the [heart] has been analyzed, there is no need to travel alone, but the analyzed [heart] should be analyzed. This judgment To bring back the results that allow the Ex-Machina to evolve again!)
Hubie didn't say the following words. She didn't know why. She hesitated a little. After a pause, she replied: "This is an uncertain matter. Whether to leave or not depends on the specific situation. "
"Under what circumstances would you not leave?"
"this……"
Hubie's eyes flashed with the light that the Ex-Machina had when calculating. She paused for a few seconds longer than before before speaking.
"Maybe after analyzing the [Heart], I judged that the [Heart] is conducive to the evolution of the Ex-Machina, and I thought that staying with humans would be more conducive to the growth and evolution of the race, so I stayed."
"Is that what it looks like?"
Rick's eyes showed a look of disappointment or relief.
"Can you answer my question now, Rick?"
Hubby looked at him.
After scratching his head, Rick felt a little uneasy and answered in a low voice.
"What, I didn't hear clearly, can you speak louder?"
Hubie got closer. Even though the distance was less than one meter, she, as an Ex-Machina, was unable to capture the specific words. One can imagine how vague Rick's words were.
"that is……"
The boy said again.
Hubie still didn't hear clearly. Her face was already very close to Rick's face, and she reminded: "Human language is very complicated. A single word has many meanings in different tones. Can you stop speaking in conjunction with each word?" Tell me clearly one sentence at a time, while maintaining the correct tone?"
Rick: "..."
Watching Hubie stand on tiptoes and keep getting closer to the approaching face.
He blushed and tilted his head, finally making it clear this time.
"I just don't want to be embarrassed."
"Um?"
"especially in……"
"In what?"
Rick's voice became smaller and smaller, but under Hubi's questioning, he seemed to risk everything and shouted loudly: "Especially if you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the person you like, this is enough, Hubi!"
There was some change in the expression of the machine-type girl Sanwu. She suddenly tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand.
Seeing her look like this, Rick was a little angry. He put his arm around Hubie's shoulders and said to her seriously: "You don't understand what it means. You feel very confused. I feel confused too, but I just like you. No way, this is beyond my control.
In the previous settlement, I was always shouldering some heavy burdens as the leader. Although Croni would accompany me, she was more like a mother or eldest sister in my life. Only you broke in suddenly. Yes, he has done a lot of things for me and helped me a lot...
Maybe it's out of interests, maybe it's emotional acceptance. In short, my instinct is that I don't want you to leave the settlement or my side, so I think that I must maintain the same or a closer relationship with you. It's despicable. , but that’s it.
Hubby, will my answer make you leave me? "
In the voice of Matsuoka Masaki (The Harem King), after Rick overcame the shame in his heart, he acted like a master in love, looking into Hubie's eyes with gentle eyes.
However, this affectionate look at each other lasted less than ten seconds, and ended with Hubi being slightly down: "Unable to understand, unable to calculate, error, error..."
"Hey, hey, Hubby, don't let anything happen to you!"
Hubie fell straight down. Rick wanted to hold him up, but the racial gap made it impossible for Rick to hold him up. Instead, he was dragged down by the Ex-Machina girl and fell to the ground.
In Rick's anxious eyes, which were extremely nervous but didn't know what to do, Hubi shook like an epilepsy for a while, then a mechanical female voice said that the restart was successful, and Hubi suddenly rose from the ground. sat up.
"Bang~"
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Rick's face was hit by her forehead, and even though there was a layer of bionic skin, it still made Rick feel like an iron head.
Covering the side of his face, the boy sat down next to the girl, sucking in cold air to relieve the pain on his face.
"What happened, why am I here?"
Seeing the Ex-Machina girl who had successfully rebooted, Hubie looked confused and ignorant.
Rick opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
I risked myself and confessed, but this is the result?
Rick felt particularly disappointed, but also somewhat relieved.
Hubie didn't remember it, so it would be nice to forget about it.
At least, I won't feel so awkward when I get along with Hubby in the future.
"Nothing happened, it was just that you suddenly went down, but now you are fine again."
Rick replied.
"Is that so, Rick?"
"Yes, that's it. I even got hit by you."
Rick rubbed the side of his face that was a little red and swollen from being hit, and got up from the ground.
"After exploring this place, we have to explore other coordinates. If you are okay, just keep walking. In three days, we have to go back to the settlement."
"Search, Hubie has no big problem. You can continue to act. Can you continue to act now?"
Hubby asked.
"certainly."
Rick nodded and walked ahead.
The rugged places require Hubi to run with him, but when they reach the stable and core locations that need to be explored, they slowly walk over and explore by themselves, but it is not easy to miss some useful clues.
Rick, who was carefully walking in front, did not notice that Hubi, who was slowly following behind him, had a strange light flashing in his eyes at this moment. Hubi's eyes no longer had a three-nothing look, but he was looking at Rick's back. There were some changes, but extremely complicated expressions appeared.
Hubi seems to already have this kind of [Heart], but he seems to be unaware of it. It was only triggered by Rick's words that sounded like a confession just now.
However, for some unknown reason, Hubie hid the information that he had obtained the [Heart].
She would rather pretend to be down and forget about the questions she just asked than to expose this in front of Rick.
[Emotions, the building blocks of the heart, are things that are gradually accumulated from daily interactions...]
Hubie thought of this sentence inexplicably, and suddenly had the urge to immediately go to the emotional mentor she had entrusted, who was irresponsible and let her go. She wanted him to do some psychological counseling for her, or, maybe, It can be said to be emotional counseling.
Hubie felt a little uncomfortable now. He wanted to escape from Rick's side, but he didn't want to leave his side. However, the Ex-Machina's usual logical thinking was contradictory.
Hubie knew the cause of the conflict, but she didn't know what to do to solve the current problem. She needed some help.
. . . .
Wu Ke, who was thousands of miles away, naturally didn't know that the Ex-Machina student he was in the human settlement and casually tricked into helping was in need of help.
He was now flying behind the giantess, and Jibril in his arms was changed from a holding position to a lifting position, and he was holding it in his hands.
After two blood moons passed, a group of three people came to a coast that connected to the vast sea. Before they could get close, they heard the noise coming from across a big mountain.
Wu Ke flew higher into the sky and looked down.
Good guy, in the rough and deep sea, there is a large group of marine creatures fighting crazily inside.
A squid creature about a hundred meters long was entangled with an equally huge sea whale; a lobster the size of a seven or eight-meter ship was fighting with a crab of the same size; a killer whale was attacking a guy with a body and a fish tail. , but was stabbed in the head by a swordfish swimming from the side with spikes on its mouth, and was pushed directly to the side.
The master riding on the killer whale cut off the swordfish's head with a long bone knife, but a wave of waves followed, but it came from the mermaid who was almost attacked by a sneak attack. , wrapped in a fish-man creature with human-like limbs under its head.
The water flow strangled for a while, and a blood ball dropped to the sea with some murloc limbs, and was submerged by the waves caused by the battles elsewhere...
"Those are the two major branch races of the sea dwellers, the mermaid race and the fishman race."
Shanweiya, who was lying on the top of the mountain, did not seem to be surprised at all by the chaos in the sea below. The sea-dwelling species in this world were recognized by other races as being even more stupid than the demon species, but they were not. There is no reason.
In this world shrouded in the clouds of war, with different races fighting against different races, what are the sea-dwelling species that occupy the ocean and have a huge population doing?
That’s right, sea dwellers are in civil war!
"The reasons for the civil war are a little ridiculous now. Just because the mermaids with fish heads and bodies are considered to be more like a race on land, they think that the mermaids are guys who have turned their backs on the ocean. They should all Of course, the mermaid clan couldn't agree to it after being dealt with, so the two started fighting."
Shanweiya said that there was some information about the sea-dwelling species recorded among the giant species.
"There are rumors that the civil war among the sea-dwelling species was planned and instigated by the Demon King. There are also rumors that it was the wise man of the elf species thousands of years ago, the first generation leader of the Nirlenba family, who wanted to solve the problem of a large area of nearby elf species. The sea-dwelling species in the forest threatened the sea area, and then conspired to plot the consequences of the sea-dwelling species.
But no matter which one it was, the sea-dwelling species waged a racial civil war that lasted for more than a thousand years because of such ridiculous reasons.
The sea area under control is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of races is also getting smaller and smaller.
To this day, the dispute has not ended yet.
He will never give up until the opponent is wiped out! "
Wu Ke looked over there and saw the tragic fighting situation of a large group of seafood creatures, and couldn't help but nodded. This was something he could appreciate just by looking at it.
"So, if we, the giant species, are looking for partners to cooperate with, it is best to find sea-dwelling species on the mermaid side. As for the sea-dwelling species on the murloc side, their hostility towards land races is too deep. Land races are almost It’s impossible to communicate with it.”
Shanvia said this.
"learn."
Wu Ke made a clear gesture and put down Jibril, who was holding it in his other hand.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing that she seemed to be left to stay with the giantess next to her, Jibril quickly shouted that the relationship between the Flügel and the giants was not very friendly, although it was not as good as the relationship between dragon elves and giants. They are mortal enemies, but they are also hostile camps.
Jibril was a little worried that after Wu Ke left, she, whose power was now blocked, would be trampled to death by the giantess named Shanvia next to her.
"If you want to be friends with others, the easiest way is to have a common enemy with them. I will go down below to help the mermaid side quickly solve the battle below. You stay here and don't walk around randomly. I will be back in a while!"
After saying that, Wu Ke rushed out without giving Jibril a chance to speak again.
