from Xingyuan

Chapter 670 374. What does this have to do with my monthly salary of three thousand?
N4's words made the blacksmith silent for a while. Although he didn't like to talk very much, at this moment, he really didn't know how to reply.

Because what N4 said is the truth.

The blacksmith's name is Lioz, and he has Lioz's personality, appearance, memory, core abilities, hobbies, and habits, but he is not Lioz.

Polina has nothing, not even a gender, but she is Lioz in soul and character.

If the legitimacy of the two is demonstrated in the way of demonstrating the legitimacy of the government.

Then the blacksmith is equivalent to a tyrant, the government has almost no legitimacy, but the policy is perfect and the organization is complete, and Polina is the legal successor, destined to be chosen, and the legitimacy is full.

But obviously, N4 didn't realize this, she always regarded the blacksmith as Li Oz.

"Don't you answer? It seems that even at this point, you are still as proud as ever."

N4 shrugged, explained to the blacksmith, and turned to Polina:
"Okay, miss, I agree to your request."

She grabbed a fluorescent stick from her pocket and threw it to the blacksmith:

"This tomb complex is very large, and it's still raining outside. You can use this to follow the light traces. The exit will be a cliff that can shelter the wind and rain. With your physical fitness, lead people to jump from it. Going down is not a problem."

The blacksmith pressed the light stick, and two beams of light blue light immediately popped up. He swept around casually, and under the blue light, dark traces immediately appeared, spreading all the way, forming a path leading to the depths.

"These are the genetic information that I personally marked with special means, so don't worry that the people in the research institute can interpret it and catch up."

After N4 finished speaking, he said to Polina:
"As for the second point, you have to tell me first, what is your appeal going to be?"

"I'm just a weak woman with a simple mind. I have no malice towards the Fermi Institute, which controls void technology and contributes to the well-being of mankind."

Polina shook her head, with regret and pity on her face:

"Just kill them all."

N4 looked back at the blacksmith, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you also think so when you were in Mingji Humane?"

The blacksmith did not answer directly, but said lightly:

"The ghost traces are still there, but the humanity is gone, at least they haven't been wiped out."

The Mingji in his sentence is actually a pun. It refers to the Mingji humanity controlled by the professor at the beginning, and also refers to N4, the controller of Mingji Heavy Industry.

N4 naturally heard that the blacksmith was threatening him, smiled lightly, and said:

"I didn't mean to hurt you, dear Li Aoz—but then again, don't you plan to take back everything you have left?"

"It's not necessary, it must have been scattered all over the world."

The blacksmith said lightly:

"This body is already infected, and I don't want to waste time."

"Have you lost your ambition?"

"I don't want to get involved in Xingyuan's affairs anymore. Dragon Satellite is very good, here is very peaceful. To be a blacksmith is like a high table—"

The blacksmith paused, and immediately corrected his words:

"Better than being a president or a hero."

"Really?" N4 said lightly, "It seems that you are more pragmatic than I imagined."

"It's always been that way."

"Then Azure Star, naturally you don't really want to save it, do you?"

"...It's just a matter of interest."

The blacksmith turned his head sideways, avoiding his gaze:

"Saving the planet is just an excuse. Those sacrifices are just stepping stones for me to step into the starry sky. No matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with me."

[Lie check passed——big success]

【The other party believed your words】

Fortunately, Li Aoz's [Charm] is still very useful.

The blacksmith calmed down.

He almost revealed that he was not Li Aozzi's real identity.

Given the current situation, if N4 knew that Polina was actually Li Ozi, they would definitely drag her into this struggle.

That child shouldn't be involved, mortals are not obliged to participate in such a cruel battle, not to mention she has suffered a lot, lost her friends, and witnessed the killing.

There is no need to keep getting hurt.

The blacksmith paused slightly.

[This kind of thing, I'll take care of it. 】

"It's really an answer full of your personal style."

N4 pouted, and said to Polina:

"Miss, you are very ambitious, but I want to remind you that even if the little blacksmith is willing to stand on your side, behind the Fermi Institute is the support of the entire Kingdom Council and sponsors."

"I know, I've always known."

Polina was calm as usual, with a smile on her face. When talking, she shifted gestures with one hand behind the other, constantly emphasizing her own existence.She stood upright, with firm eyes, not at all like a girl who saw blood for the first time and experienced a big event.

"The kingdom council needs the development of void technology to maintain their rule over the kingdom, and the Fermi Institute also needs the help of manpower and resources from the kingdom, and I'm afraid it will need the help of the army if necessary - even the uncle blacksmith probably can't fight against such a huge Military power—so, the kingdom and the research institute are bound by interests.”

Polina made a logical analysis and said:

"I want to completely destroy the Fermi Institute. No matter how many people it benefits from its existence, for me, its only destiny is destruction, complete destruction. But I really can't find the power that can destroy it..."

"In this way, there is only one option that can meet your requirements."

N4 with one hand on his hips, with a weak tone:
"Go to the capital and meet that 'king'."

"No!" The blacksmith flatly refused, "It's impossible!"

"Ah, indeed."

Polina seriously thought about this plan:
"Thinking about it this way, the Fermi Institute is in the final analysis only an organization that relies on the authority of the 'king' to survive. As long as the supreme ruler of the kingdom is persuaded, the Fermi Institute will immediately collapse."

"That's right, it's a pretty good answer!" N4 laughed.

"If it is said that the whole house was burned down to kill the cockroaches—this kind of practice can be called 'good', I think this kind of revenge is worthless."

The blacksmith sneered bitterly.

"What's the matter? Dear Li Aoz."

"Master Blacksmith, are you resisting 'King'?"

Both N4 and Polina noticed his intense reaction and raised questions one after another.

The questioning of the two women silenced the blacksmith.

His eyes were cold, but he refused forcefully:

"... If you are going to see the king, then you go. For me, being able to obtain this peaceful and stable life is more important than being together."

N4 glanced at him and said playfully:
"You have really changed, dear Li Aoz. Are you no longer an ambitious man who always talks about grand narratives?"

"I'm different from you. I've climbed to the peak and stepped on the trough. The glory will not last forever, and the glory will gradually fade. No matter how powerful a civilization is, it will wither sooner or later."

The blacksmith said indifferently:
"No matter how far you climb, you will eventually be submerged in the tide of history... In the grand narrative, small individuals are nothing. And I just want to hold on to my only life."

"Just live in such a daze?"

N4 looked at the blacksmith apron and cotton trousers on him, and asked:

"An extraordinary being with infinite power and loved by the world will spend the rest of his life as a blacksmith—are you willing?"

The blacksmith said lightly:

"There's nothing to be reconciled to, I've already laid down."

N4 is slightly surprised:

"So don't you care about Mr. Entropy, narrative, and emptiness? There are two planets that are closely related to you, and they are at stake right now."

The blacksmith shook his head and said:
"How this planet is doing has nothing to do with me, who earns tens of dollars a day. Maybe in the future, I will choose to save money, stay at home, not go anywhere, and turn around to find a wife and raise two children. , bring them grandchildren, teach them skills, and live together.”

"I will spend the rest of my life as a good audience, killing time in the endless fun of taking turns, until I am also buried in the years."

"...I remember that you are only in your 30s, why are you so old?"

Even if it is N4, I can't help but sigh:
"Back then you were all-powerful, the country attracted attention, and the whole world revolved around you... But now you just want to stick to a boring career, live a monotonous and mediocre life, and end your life like this?"

"I'm tired."

The blacksmith closed his eyes and shook his head:
"Do you know what aging is? After working hard for a lifetime, I find that I am just a mediocre person. If I lose the characteristic historical period, I can't do anything, and I can't even reproduce my own successful experience-this is aging when."

"Li Aoz, to be honest..."

As soon as N4 spoke, he was roughly interrupted by the blacksmith:

"I'm tired! I'm so tired! I'm tired enough. I spent the first half of my life chasing efficiency too much. I didn't have time for entertainment. I was chasing the endless road. I fought to survive, and I fought to survive. And to live, this kind of life is staged again and again, and the result is that I am busy and I have nothing."

"Uncle Blacksmith..."

Polina said:
"I can feel that you have an unknown history, but you don't have to worry."

She paused, and facing the blacksmith's gaze, she said frankly:

"This is my own business. Revenge on the Fermi Institute is my goal. You never need to participate."

"……you."

The blacksmith opened his mouth.

[Do you really think that this is just your personal matter? 】

He didn't say it.

If you just tell the other party like this, N4 will definitely feel suspicious, and then the fact that you are not "Li Ozi" will definitely be revealed.

Polina should never have been involved in this matter.

Not to mention that "king" is still involved now.

These two people simply don't understand what a "king" is.

It is impossible to describe the appearance of the "king", describe the deeds of the "king", and not directly call the "king" by his name. Even though his life lasts forever, people have always played down his existence, and history will deliberately lead people to forget the "king".

What's more, for blacksmiths, Wang has a special meaning.

It was after seeing that scene in the capital that he chose to leave without looking back...

Willing to be a blacksmith?No, for him, it is a great honor to be able to be a blacksmith even after seeing that scene.

The speeches made by Polina and N4 seemed both ridiculous and dangerous to him.

"...you shouldn't be in it, Le-Bolena."

The blacksmith exhorted:

"You will lose all kinds of friends in your life, you will miss countless people on the road, the enthusiasm you once had will fade and cool down, and your good relatives will die sooner or later..."

"Polena, you don't need to lose your life because of a few brats you can meet casually in the countryside."

"You have a lonely and unique soul, and you have people who love you. Your life should be blazing, brilliant, and colorful."

He tried his best to persuade Polina to choose a comfortable and happy life path.

Polina blinked her eyes, those ruby-like eyes would not be shaken even if they looked at the whole universe.

"Yes, of course, Mr. Blacksmith. I should have had a life of splendor, happiness, and easy access, and it should not have been my responsibility."

Polina smiled slightly and said:
"But I can."

"I have a strong feeling that it tells me that I can do it all, that I can get over obstacles, that I can get rid of violence."

"Whether it's arrogant or arrogant, I think so, and I can go on like this."

Polina clenched her fists and said easily:
"Don't ask if you should, but ask if you can."

"Obviously, I know—I can."
