Miss Hilbert pursed her lips tightly, and her words were bitten in her throat before she said: "Those things are really monsters, they will devour people's lives! Although it is a childhood memory, it is a bit distorted when I think about it now, But I'm sure, I've seen a kid about my age... about your age get sucked in by a machine!"

Her face was pale, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Can you imagine?! The factory owner refused to turn off the machine! He only agreed to give the child's parents part of the compensation! Everyone, everyone! They all look like they are used to it! That child screamed and was crushed to death! Even those parents who knew what happened later, they just asked how much money they could get! That kind of numbness... the workers who are also children have already started to bow their heads to add materials to the machine, and the children on the other side The flesh and blood of that child on the conveyor belt is being processed! The machine not only eats the flesh of the living, but also the soul of the living! The machine is the carrier of the devil on the ground! The machine... vomit!"

Miss Hilbert was so excited that she shook from dizziness, leaned against the wall to recover, and then began to vomit.After she finished vomiting, she raised her head and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "Sorry, I lost my temper, I..." She looked at the three silent men, one big, two small, and suddenly smiled, "You actually know that too, right? Everyone knows it, but the factories in Tieshu District are still getting bigger and bigger... Every day, that place swallows up many living people and souls... I respect my parents, I love knowledge, but I can't agree with their philosophy, and I can't accept the use of knowledge for something that evil."

"It's not machines that are evil, but people. Do you think more child laborers died in factories, or more children died in mines?" Morifio looked at Miss Hilbert.

There is no coal in this world, but iron, copper, gold, silver, various gemstones, even fine gold, mithril, etc., exist in a wide variety of minerals.Factories like to use child labor, and mines also like to use child labor, because children can get into narrower and smaller mines, they need less food, but they are paid the same as adults—not the same pay as adults, but It is the same as adults, they have to pay money according to their daily harvest.

"That's different." Miss Hilbert shook her head, "Why do we need so many minerals? Not everyone needs a suit of armor like you, or because of the need to build machines, and because of the things that machines can produce There are too many! And mines can be protected. Even if the mine collapses, people can be rescued. But once they are injured on the machine, most of them will not have time to react, and their hands and feet will be cut off, or even Death! People have no protection against machines."

"No, people can be protected against machines. As long as safety regulations are set and workers are trained, injuries during work can be minimized." Morifio said seriously.

"You said it too, it's just a reduction." Miss Hilbert snorted coldly.

"Of course it can only be reduced. Life is fragile. When a baby is in the mother's womb, the mother may just fall and take this young life away. When there are no factories, all human beings can survive People who hunted were killed, those who fished were drowned, those who cultivated food were starved to death because of natural disasters, and they might even be infected with diseases or parasites after drinking a sip of water. Our civilization is to minimize death step by step , the development history of allowing more people to have enough to eat.”

The "human being" that Morifio refers to means all intelligent races in the Muller language, and it is not limited to human beings.

The elf was a little excited, but neither Leon nor Eldy thought that he was also a very passionate person.

"..." Miss Hilbert lowered her head, thinking hard, "No, no. Your eloquence is very good, I was almost convinced by what you said, but the truth is not like this. Use your natural gods Doctrinally speaking, hunting, fishing, planting, and mining are all uses of nature, but machines are not, especially those huge ugly roaring things, which are the products of human deformity and hopelessness, They are even scarier than the demons of the abyss."

"Machine is not a product of poor hope, those factory owners are. They want more profit. In addition to selling products, they just want to lower the cost. The labor cost of workers is part of the cost. The price of men is higher than that of women, and the price of women And taller than children. So why don't factory owners hire children?"

Miss Hilbert smiled politely at Morifio: "But if there is no machine, these factory owners will have no excuse to hire workers. Isn't everything very good? Don't tell me that there is no factory, and those workers have nothing to do." How to make ends meet. I know that many farms no longer grow crops, and food is imported from the south, but our own land is used to raise sheep and cattle. Most of the workers in the city are bankrupt farmers, but once there is no The factory can't produce so much thread, cloth and leather, and the workers will go back to be farmers."

Leon and Eldy looked at each other, Leon: Why did they suddenly start arguing about this kind of issue?

Eldi: This Morifio knight doesn't seem to know anything, but he should still know something.

Not enough that the two of them are not very interested in these things. Besides, in Leon's personal opinion, both of them are wrong, because child labor is wrong in the first place.But at least Morifeo is right about one thing, that is, he knows that the problem lies with people, and to solve the problem, you have to go to people, not machines.But to solve the human problem, it is too complicated.

"If there are no clues here, let's keep going." Leon said, "Or eat dinner before leaving, after all, it's getting late now."

Although it only looks like around five o'clock, but at this time, in winter, the sky will be dark.

"Here... There should be a basement here. I've never been there, and they won't let me in." After saying this, Miss Hilbert walked out.

"You don't need to go up the stairs." Leon said, the four of them felt that their feet were empty at the same time, and Morifio's body tensed up, he wanted to jump up, but he glanced at Leon and resisted the urge.The floor of this office was directly moved to the first floor, and the floor on the first floor made the sound of being overwhelmed, but under the cover of the seemingly weak flowing air, there was no trace of smoke and dust flying up, and their feet were still flat.

"Please lead the way." Leon made a gesture of invitation.

Miss Hilbert walked in front, Leon and Eldy walked behind, and Knight Morifio led the way.

"Haven't been monitored?" Eldy didn't make a sound, and used his mouth.

"No. I'm only here to see the undead. If it's not right, we'll leave." Leon also answered with mouth movements.

"You're so lazy." Eldie said the words.

Leon spread his hands: "Yes, I have always told you that I am lazy."

Eldy hung the shield behind his back and poked Leon, and Leon poked him with his backhand. It looked like the two kids were having a fight out of boredom, but in fact... it was the two kids out of boredom. Playing up.

Behind the main building in the basement, in a small shed, it looks like a tool shed used by real gardeners to store tools.The door of this place is still there, but it hangs obliquely on the door frame, and a huge and thick spider web completely covers the upper half of the doorway.

A gust of wind blew past, and a big spider, which was spinning infinitely anxiously, flew away from the spider web, and even the spider and the web hung on the nearby tree.Another gust of wind blew through, and the door... the whole shed fell down, revealing a locked basement entrance inside.

There are mottled smash marks near the lock.Although this kind of place is far away from the city, it has obviously been moved. Someone should want to go in this basement, but they didn't go in?

Morifio walked over and wiped the door that didn't look very solid with his hand, and wiped out a handful of reddish-brown debris that looked like rust.Where it was touched, a beautiful metallic color was revealed, but the scratches just now disappeared.

"This is specially treated metal, as is the lock. It is difficult for ordinary people to break open." Morifio drew out his sword, "However, I can open it. Stay away, don't be caught by the splashing metal." collapse."

"Wait a minute, Knight Morifio. There is something strange about the main building just now." Eldy said suddenly, "Although the furniture, windows and doors are gone, the floor is intact, and there are dead parts on both sides of the road. trees, and if poor people really came here, they wouldn't let them go."

"Hmm...you're right. So, do you think the situation in the Zhu building is caused by someone deliberately making it old?"

Everyone went to see Miss Hilbert, and she immediately shook her head at several people: "After the accident five years ago, I came here for the first time, I don't know. If you feel that something is wrong, we can go back to the city Go here. After all, you have seen more and more experience in this kind of thing. As long as you still bring me with you when you come back next time, the five thousand gold will be yours."

"It's okay, let's continue exploring." Leon said.

Eldy immediately stopped looking at Miss Hilbert, and easily poked the shield on the ground, waiting to see Morifio.Morifio raised his eyebrows, without saying much, he turned around and slashed down with his sword!

On his ordinary-looking long sword, a turquoise sword glow twice as long as the blade appeared at that moment, and the door was directly blocked from the middle like butter touching a hot knife. split.

"Clang!" This was the sound of the doors of the two halves of the branch knocking on the passage wall.

Morifio took out an inch-long metal cylinder from his waist, shook it twice, and the thing became cold, so he directly fastened it to the buckle of the shield and held the shield to look down— — Sure enough, a professional.Leon looked amusing, so he went to poke Eldy: "Do you have any?"

"Yes." Eldy took it out as expected, and it was also a metal cylinder more than an inch long. The fixed one, but the direction can be changed.Eldy handed all the shields to Leon directly and let him play.

Leon fiddled with it twice: "When you were maintaining your equipment, you didn't even give it to me to play with."

"When I was maintaining my equipment, every time you said to accompany me, every time you either sat for 2 minutes before reading or cooking, or closed your eyes and fell asleep after sitting for 2 minutes."

Looking back, Leon seemed to be really like this. He immediately lowered his head and obediently admitted his mistake: "...my fault."

The two of them were chattering, over there Morifio had already gone down to the basement and came up again: "I just took a look around, the air is fine, I can come down, but people need to stay up there. At least two people should stay , Now we have fewer people, but we have to keep one person.”

No one is kept in this kind of place, and if someone does something wrong and then blocks the door, even though they won't die, they will have to pay a heavy price.

"I'll stay outside." Leon said, and patted Aldi's helmet twice—the hooded helmet with golden scales.This kind of adventurous thing can't bring Chubby Bear, but the hood and helmet are essentially the same as Chubby Bear.Moreover, just now Leon said it doesn't matter, so Eldy can understand that he has actually seen the following.

"Okay." The other three had no objection, Eldie jumped down from the entrance, and Miss Hilbert climbed down the ladder that looked rusty, but was actually perfectly fine.After they left, Leon was sitting on the edge of the basement entrance, with one hand on his knees and the other on his chin, as if in a daze...

The configuration of the basement looks almost the same as that of the main building, a straight corridor with rooms on both sides.Because it has been locked here, the door panels are still there.

Miss Hilbert walked to the first door, twisted the doorknob, "Ka Ka Ka Ka", the door was locked, and the lock hadn't broken after such a long time.Morifeo patted Miss Hilbert, stepped forward and twisted it too, "Boom!" With the sound of the deadbolt snapping off, Morifeo directly pulled the door handle down, gently Push and the door will open.

The room was in a mess, the chair was overturned on the ground, and the parchment with drawings was scattered on the ground. One of the parchments had a piece of ink spilled on it, and an ink bottle rolled down beside it.Whoever the former owner of this room was, he must have left in a hurry.

"Devil!" Miss Hilbert rushed in, grabbed the parchment and began to tear it.If it is newly made, or the parchment that has been well maintained, a girl like her cannot tear it apart, but the parchment here is not well maintained, damp, moth-eaten, and rotten, she really tore it to pieces Not a lot.

As she broke the parchments, a small thing fell out and rolled and clanged on the ground—it looked like a model of a car or something.

"These man-eating demons—!" Seeing this thing, Miss Hilbert's expression became even more distorted, and she directly raised her foot to step on the small model, causing the big parts to be distorted and deformed, and the small parts to be scattered. .

There are more rooms on the ground floor than on the first floor of the main building above ground.In addition to a utility room, a dining room, a game room, and two restrooms, there are 23 rooms in total.Miss Hilbert went into every room, and the drawings would be destroyed, and if there were small models, they would be completely destroyed.

She didn't finish until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Morifio asked Eldi to go up first: "There is no danger here, you go up first."

"Okay." Eldy went up and sat next to Leon: "She doesn't seem to come to find her parents, she is more like to destroy those drawings and models."

"This is a paranoid environmentalist, you can also call her a retroist." Leon nodded.

"Environmentalist?" Eldy didn't quite understand the word, but he nodded at the second word, "But thanks to her, I've written it all down, and Morifeo probably has. They are all excellent inventions, and some of them are close to completion, so it cannot be said that they can be used immediately, but after one or two years of experimentation by some people, the finished product will be produced."

"Are you really six years old?" Leon was more curious. This way of thinking is definitely a very mature adult.

"I told you that our family has the blood of dragons. Don't you know that dragons have memory inheritance?"

"Really?"

"I lied to you." Eldy laughed hahaha, "But I know you are seven years old, you are such a liar!"

Subconscious mind: Is there a scarf?Please cover your face, let a six-year-old child wash it, and don't want this face.

Leon: Get out!

"So, you don't want to tell me the truth?"

Eldi was stunned for a moment. He thought that the incident just now had passed away. Wouldn't normal people stop mentioning it?

"No...I told you." He spoke with a bit of reluctance.

"So, do you really have memory inheritance?" Leon lowered his head and lowered his voice, "It sounds great, so why don't you want to tell me?"

Anyway, I have already said it, so Eldi let out a long breath, and decided to say: "The memory inheritance of our family, and the memory inheritance of the Dragon Clan and some special races, although they are all called the same, they are actually different. The memory inheritance of those races Inheritance, just like people will eat milk at birth, is actually a part of instinct, but because their own strength is so strong, so the instinct is passed on a lot. But the memory inheritance of our family is through a special inheritance magic, which combines the ancestors' Part of the memory is passed on to the minds of future generations."

"Oh... I see." Leon nodded, understanding why Erdi was unwilling to say, "Is this a forbidden technique?"

"Yes. This is a forbidden technique. This inherited magic comes from an evil duke that my ancestors wiped out. He stuffed his memory into the minds of future generations again and again, achieving a certain sense of immortality."

"Personality will still be different. People whose memories are covered will actually affect those memories. Besides, the main body is still dead. This is not eternal life. This will only create a lunatic."

"Yes. So my family's modified inheritance magic will not pass on personality-based memories. Most of them are knowledge and language memorized by rote, and only a very small part is life experience."

"Actually, you always wanted me to ask to the end." Leon looked at Eldi, this is not the first time he raised the question of inheritance, this is the second time.That's why Leon continued to ask, Eldi didn't want to compare this question, on the contrary, he wanted Leon to know.Even though he may not be aware of it himself, his subconscious mind does.

"I feel that something is wrong with me. Sometimes, I can't control myself and do things that don't look like me. I...you know what happened to my family. I am the last hope of this family. Although inheritance The magic was put on me when I was born, but that was just over four years ago, and I believe the family had expected it by then. They probably added more things to my head, and I am very It definitely won't be a personality memory, but there are too many other people's things, and it will still affect me..."

"what do you want to do?"

"...I don't know..." Eldi was holding the shield, the shield used by children was already very small, but now that he was holding it in this posture, the shield also appeared to be very big, and he was very small.No matter how strict the family is with its descendants, a six-year-old child is still being trained in the family.Even in poor families, six-year-old children have not yet reached the time to go out to work.But now, he has to force himself to face the battle and constantly improve himself.

He's mature, he's knowledgeable, he's a little psychotic, but he's still a kid.

"If you don't leave me, I will be with you. If you want to leave me, I will kill you." It was still the original sentence.

"No!" Eldi was unhappy this time, "It's not that I was willing to leave you, maybe I was a lunatic at that time, maybe the last moment you killed me, I was normal, but in the end All I saw were your tentacles, and I didn't even have time to say a word."

As he talked, Eldi said that he was wronged, and there was a bit of whimpering in his tone.

"Then how about I...destroy your brain and turn you into a fool? I've been raising you until you turn into ashes."

"That's good!" Eldi smiled this time, "but be careful, don't kill me, let my soul still live in my body... If you are a spirit-eating mushroom, you can always restrain those Soul, just pull out my soul, I can't even go back to reincarnation."

Eldi's statement is close to cult.But the two of them were very happy.

"I may not live that long."

"You look like a long-lived species no matter how you look."

"I will bind you as long as I live."

"Don't let go when you die. When you live to the point of death, you should have the ability to confuse our souls together. Anyway... reincarnation is actually not a thing that people yearn for. "

"That's why only poor people yearn for reincarnation, and rich people only think about how to live longer in this life."

"Hahaha, yes." Eldy laughed, but suddenly became serious again, "Leon, what about you? You are really seven years old."

"No, I probably...maybe more than a year old?"

Eldy: "..."
