Chapter 55 Mechanical Education
Although the white-haired doll ran away, its position had been locked by Duanmu Huai through investigation and servo skull. Logically speaking, the next step should be to kill the door in one go and completely kill these monsters.
but………
"So, why can''t you act?"
Facing Lorena''s answer, Duanmu Huai was not angry at all. As long as it was a task, NPCs could make any trouble. They were used to it.
"I''m so sorry, Lord Knight, it''s a long story..."
"It''s okay, we have enough time."
I don’t believe you can say that you won’t be able to do it for a year?
So, Lorena also told Duanmuhuai a little embarrassedly.
Simply put, it is... the division within the church.
This goes back a while ago, when demons attacked the country, the church naturally fought to fight to eliminate the demons. In the early stages of the fierce battle, many clergy from the church were injured and lost their limbs due to fighting with the demons. I had to retreat, and the battle situation at that time was also quite dangerous.
But at that time, a foreigner suddenly appeared. He said that he could help those who lost their limbs to remade prosthetics and let them return to the battlefield again.
At that time, the church also affirmed the person''s suggestion. After that, the clergy who had lost their hands and feet in the battle with the demon were all equipped with mechanical prosthetics and participated in the battle again.
I have to say that these prosthetics are indeed very powerful. In the end, the church relied on everyone''s strength to successfully repel the demons. However... an unimaginable crisis emerged from it.
Among the clergy who had undergone surgery and had prosthetics, many began to change their beliefs. They believed that through machinery and steel, the best way to get close to the gods. It is not just through exercise and prayer. Of course, at the beginning, the church did not do anything about it. After all, in the church''s view, as long as everyone still believes in the gods, then the small controversy about their understanding of faith can be temporarily put aside.
But after that, the clergymen who had prosthetics installed, for some reason, all gathered in the side hall on the other side of the city. According to their statement, they wanted to communicate with the gods through machinery, and the Archbishop also adopted a tacit attitude towards this. After all, these people have sacrificed a lot to protect the city and the people. Since they want to do it, then do it.
However, after this... things began to get worse.
Those priests who claim to be "mechanical religion" completely closed themselves and no longer interacted with other fellow believers. They also began to spread the so-called "the flesh is just a burden, and only by handing over themselves to steel can we communicate with the gods." The church is a little anxious about this, but it is helpless. In any case, this is just some conflicts within the church against doctrines, and they cannot destroy each other because of this kind of thing. Not to mention, those monks of the Mechanical Cult are all great heroes in the previous wars, and the church cannot rashly start a civil war because of this.
So, the current situation is that the church and mechanical church each manage half of the city, and the river in the middle becomes the dividing line between the two sides. On weekdays, church members on both sides will not break into each other''s territory without authorization. Moreover, I heard that the monks in the Mechanical Cultivation are also serious about solving the people''s worries, so the church does not intend to meddle in other people''s business.
However... all this is based on the premise that Mechanics is a peaceful organization.
If they really create that kind of terrifying and bloodthirsty doll and even send it here to kill, then that would be another matter.
But because the matter is of great importance, the church dares not act rashly.
"………Therefore, the Bishop just ordered everyone to be more vigilant, and she planned to negotiate with the other party..."
What''s the use of this?
After listening to Lorena''s explanation, Duanmu Huai rolled her eyes and said that this place had turned into soul fragments. It can be seen that something very terrible must have happened in the end, which led to the destruction of the entire city.
"Since you can''t take action, let me do it."
"Hey? But..."
"You also know that the doll that appeared yesterday seemed to have something to do with Aojis. Even if there is no such thing as friends, we will still have to track it down to the end."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the system''s task prompts. Although he found the white-haired doll, there was no prompt to complete the task at all, which means that the problem has not been solved at all. That white-haired doll was not the one who really planned it all.
After everything was over, it was already late at night. Lorena also arranged for the two to rest in the church room. Duanmuhuai did not choose to sleep on the soft and comfortable bed. Instead, he sat down against the wall. Unless he returned to the space station, Duanmuhuai would never come out of the power a. Fortunately, after equipping the power armor, Duanmu Huai''s body seemed to be completely integrated with the power armor, and she had a feeling that it had become mechanical, and even her metabolism was not so obvious. But...what will it become?
Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside through the window. To be honest, since he came to this world, he has been running around and completing tasks everywhere. But it is all based on the upcoming disaster and the threat of the evil **** of chaos in the subspace. He knew very well that no matter what he did on this planet, it would not have much impact on the evil gods. For them, this planet was just a playground for the evil gods.
Therefore, the enemies on this planet are actually not very powerful. The reason why the evil gods let these low-level monsters come over is not because they do not have high-level thugs, but because as a planet with relatively low civilization level, their level and strength limits are limited.
But when you reach the vast sea of ??stars, Duanmu Huai has to face not only the Chaos Warriors, such as the Chaos Warriors, the Fallen Space Marines, the Chaos Fleet, the Invasion of the Alien, the Plane Warriors, all of which will make the current chaos on this planet look like a fight between elementary school students.
The battle with the starry sea as the battlefield far exceeds the medieval level of war on this planet.
In the game, even if there are a large number of players, there will still be a lot of sacrifices and losses. At present, what role can only be played by yourself?
Duanmu Huai has been burying his head in the tasks just to prevent himself from thinking too much. As long as he takes on tasks mechanically and completes the tasks like in the game, he should not think about so much about other things... However, when his spirit was relaxed in the middle of the night, this complex feeling once again surged into his heart.
"Owner?"
Just as Duanmu Huai was wandering outside the sky, a voice suddenly sounded from his ears. He came to his senses and saw Aoji Si lying on his body like a kitten, his bright red eyes shining with bright light, staring at Duanmu Huai.
"You seem to be very bad?"
"I just thought about the future and was a little upset."
"future??"
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Aojisi tilted her head slightly.
“That’s right.”
Staring at the doll girl in front of her, Duanmu Huai stretched out her hand and gently stroked her head, while speaking.
"In the future, we will encounter very powerful enemies. They are all-in-one and almost difficult to completely eradicate, and they are strong and cannot even be completely eliminated... To be honest, sometimes when I think about it, I feel that this is a correct decision. Maybe, I should abandon all this and find a place to live alone and live a lonely life. I will not cause trouble, nor do I care about these messes..."
Duanmu Huai is not telling lies. With his experience, he can find a beautiful planet without anyone, and then live comfortably on it until he dies of old age.
Anyway, the universe is infinite, and the confrontation with the Chaos Evil God will start at least in a few hundred years and not be able to end completely in tens of thousands of years. Is this necessary?
In the game, players don’t need to consider this issue, because the game always needs to find things to do.
But it is different in reality. When you travel to this world in person and know the truth of this world, it is really difficult to continue to make a difficult choice.
Is it a vigorous challenge to the evil god? Or is it a comfortable choice to sink?
For Duanmuhuai, this is really a very difficult choice.
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, he suddenly felt his cheeks heat up. Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw Aojisi staring at him.
"I don''t know what the master is thinking...but I know that the master is helping me, so I want to help the master too. I will be with the master no matter what."
"Thank you, Aojis."
Hearing Ojisi''s answer, Duanmu Huai felt relieved, and then he closed his eyes again and entered his dream. Aoji Si looked at the sleeping Duanmu Huai, thought for a moment, and then leaned in his arms.
Soon, the moonlight gradually enveloped the two people''s figures, causing the whole room to fall into silence and darkness again.
