Vader lowered his head, and Lucian raised his head without fear, facing his completely gloomy eyes because of that sentence.

Vader's reaction at that moment reminded Lucian of the time when he was captured by him from the small town - the oppressive feeling of wanting to crush and swallow all his bones.He lowered his head and crushed Lucian's lips with his fingers: "Don't let me hear you say that. You know——for me, it's not difficult to shape a new body for you."

—I hate to smell other people on you.

This joke seemed to be overdone, but Lucian didn't know that such a simple sentence would touch Vader's thunder point.Lucian's back felt a little chilly, but he finally smiled while biting Vader's fingertips, his red lips curled wantonly, but his voice was soft: "Why are you so serious, Master Vader. I'm not in good health right now. Is it?"

"I would rather fuck your control center body that has not been modified by the laws of this world." Vader whispered, with a strong possessive desire in his voice, "It's good to see that even if you are not a succubus, you are still in heat for me on the bed look."

Lucian: ... Vader's terrifying possessiveness came again.

This sentence can be regarded as a small conflict between the two, and it is also a topic that Lucian does not like to discuss.Then Lucian changed the subject, pretending to be a bit sullen and bit Vader - just lightly, controlled to the extent that Vader would not be wounded, but only a little tooth mark: "Then you don't want to lose Let me go. I know Dean wouldn't dare, but someone else would. Are you sure you want to leave me alone?"

The eyes of the two met in space, facing each other.Vader finally looked at Lucian gloomyly, and put his finger on his forehead.

...and drew a spell that Lucian is all too familiar with.

Lucian was turned into a white long-haired cat again—this time, even his clothes were turned into a wine-red bow tied around his neck.Vader squatted down, looked at Lucian who had turned from momentary stupefaction to anger, and poked him down with his fingers in a good mood: "I guess no one wants to kiss a cat."

Lucian: ...

Lucian was very unhappy.The spell carried a prohibition that couldn't be lifted, and he could only yell "uhhhhhh" all night before Vader left.It wasn't until Vader set off the next day that he was about to leave, but was hugged by a little white cat rushing out from the slash.

Lucian's whole cat was lying on Vader's lap, looking at Vader with eyes like water glass beads, as if he had been greatly wronged.Vader was silent for a while, he was about to pull Lucian off himself...

Then Lucian suddenly climbed onto his body and began to bite Vader's belt with his cat's teeth.

Crowd: ...

More than a dozen attendants pretended not to see and turned their heads in fear.Vader's expression was so gloomy that he could drip water. In the end, he stuffed Lucian in his backpack.

"Be quiet on the road," he said.

Lucian: Planning Pass.jpg.

Lucian not only planned to pass, but was also lifted by Vader from the prohibition against turning back into a human.But walking alone is not as comfortable as sitting in Vader's bag.

Therefore, he comfortably huddled in Vader's bag as a white long-haired cat, only showing a meaningful cat's head to look around.

Based on the possible risks, everyone chose to ride a horse instead of a carriage.

The dwarves live in towering buildings, caves, or crypts.The mountains where they live are covered with grasslands and there are also extinct volcanoes.They are famous for their powerful alchemy and minerals, and they manufacture many organs and weapons.As a result, part of the extinct volcano was also hollowed out, and the inside was converted into a smelting field.

"Up! Up!" This has always been the motto of the dwarves.

Poorer dwarves live in crypts, while richer dwarves tend to live higher up.Beneath the most central and largest volcano sits a large city.This city is made up of various organs and is the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire dwarf race.

It is also their royal city.

And that volcano is the holy mountain of the dwarves.The holy mountain has not erupted for thousands of years. The dwarves believe in the power of the mountains. It is the mountains that give them the unique geothermal heat and the dexterous hands they use to change the status quo.

They first passed through mountains, smelters and mines.Lucian was very surprised by the facilities in these places.On the high and low mountains, there are tracks for transporting minerals and materials, and the trolleys drive on them.

But they soon discovered something was wrong.

There was no one in the mine, just dead silence.But even so, the trolley carrying the items was still driving on it, round and round... and round and round.

It vainly drove through the ore production area, the raw material pool for processing ore materials, the smelting area, the processing table, the cooling table, the packaging table... The steps of the dwarves are like precise gears, perhaps this is why they are closed and efficient .But no matter how the cars drove, no one stopped them.And those materials that do not need to be processed by humans continue to become parts that need to be used one by one.

"It's weird," Evan said.

Helena opened her beautiful eyes and looked around.She saw some strange machines and products.

"What is this?" She picked something out of the box.

"This thing looks like a finger." Evan commented, "It's very delicate."

He picked up the finger and found that each joint had perfect degrees of freedom, allowing it to move like a normal human finger.He said: "I heard that the dwarves will make some human-like robots to assist in production."

"This sounds amazing, but isn't creating life a blasphemy?" Helena frowned. As a half-elf, she has a gentle personality and still yearns for the gods.

"The ones they made are not called life, they are just humanoid machines. And I heard that they were stopped soon." Evan said, he is a person who knows many things, "because most of the upper echelons of the dwarves think that creating It is inefficient and wasteful for a whole 'human' to operate. Just as one hand is needed to pack items, one leg is needed to kick ore away. So they only produce hands and few legs. For dwarves, efficiency Always comes first. There's no point in making whole 'people'."

"This sounds very interesting." Vader, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Creating non-spiritual life. Tell me more, Evan."

"They produced a few batches of robots at first, trying to use them to replace labor. But after the decree, it was abolished." Evan said, "But this is not to create life for blasphemous reasons. No one can create something from nothing Create life because no one can create a soul. Machines, always just machines. Machines can only learn, not create ideas on their own.”

A follower chimed in: "But we have other ways to create life."

Muffled laughter came from the crowd.Someone said with a sigh of relief: "These arms may be used as prosthetics."

"What about the old robots?"

"Maybe it was destroyed and re-dissolved, or it was disassembled and the hands and feet were used for other purposes. The arms were used for sorting, the feet were used for kicking, and the torso was recycled and put back into the furnace." Evan said, "I guess, I don't know. With the stinginess of the dwarves, they will be used to the best of their ability."

"It would be terrible if robots could become a race, a slaved race." Helena closed her eyes and prayed.

"Don't worry, Helena, robots don't know how to think—the dwarves will never give them the right to think." Evan laughed.

The gag between the two was easy, and some assembly lines next to them were still producing robot arms.

"Perhaps the gods also think that human beings only need to leave one hand enshrined to him. If the whole world can be arranged to be as mechanical and reliable as an assembly line, human beings don't need to procreate, they just need to create fresh hands to put in vacant positions , that’s enough.” Vader said, “Gods are also capitalists who only value efficiency. Capitalists need working hands, not heads of people who can delay efficiency by thinking wildly.”

What Vader said was a little scary.But Evan and Helena obviously didn't take it seriously, but thought it was very funny.

Lucian didn't find it funny.He felt that when Vader said this, there were some signs of madness becoming more serious in his eyes.

They saw the mark left by Caesar near here, and they must have been alive when they passed here.After making a mark, they continued on their way.

They walked forward, unaware that there was something shimmering in the depths of the scrap iron in the distance.

……

The entire dwarves are built around the most central holy mountain.As long as you are facing the holy mountain, you can reach the royal city in the center.Vader and the others followed the markings, speeding up their horses, and their natural speed was also fast.

Along the way, Lucian even saw many post-steam products.Whether it is a steam train on the track, or a towering building, and various machines for processing food.He meowed twice to Vader: "When will you make some in the human race?"

"In the future..." Vader stopped in the middle of his words.

Lucian suddenly knew why Vader stopped.Perhaps for Vader, he has no "later".

You must know that in the original book, Rivid sacrificed blood to the whole world.

Lucian put the cat's head on Vader's body and stopped talking.Finally, they reached the central city.

The center city of the dwarves.

The central city is also like a huge factory, surrounded by rows of buildings, which perfectly interprets the high-efficiency style of the dwarves.Everyone walked in it, but it was like walking in a maze.

Still no one.

"The mark is broken here," Helena said. "Here, it's only half drawn."

She pointed to a corner, and Vader frowned.He checked here and didn't feel anything unusual.

"No." After two streets away, Evan said, "There is also a mark left by Caesar here."

There is a huge distance between the two marks.It does not comply with the rules of marking at all.Vader was frowning when he heard Evan say, "...it's half."

Vader walked over quickly and saw the half mark.

Something horrific happened.The half of the mark here and the half of the mark that Helena found can just be put together... Vader was squatting down, stroking it with his fingers, and felt the ground tremble.

"Be careful!!" He heard Evan's voice, "Your Majesty, this city!"

The screams of Helena and the others also came from the other side.

Not just cities, buildings, streets, corridors... everything is shaking, moving and recombining.They are like a large mechanism, automatically changing their positions.

A building came crashing down on Vader.Vader understood in this instant.

This is a city that moves!

The building passed him by.Vader jumped back to avoid it, but his belt was severed by the building at that moment.The white cat jumped out of the bag and landed on the other side of the street.

"Lucien!"

Lucian saw Vader reaching out to him.He wanted to run towards Vader, but the ground under his feet was also moving... The dwarf city is not as simple as an ordinary flat city, it is a three-dimensional, multi-layered city.Soon, he saw Vader sinking and himself rising to another level.

They run toward each other, only to be teleported further by the city.Lucian gritted his teeth, he turned into a human, and said, "Vader..."

He couldn't see Vader anymore.The city was still moving, and he was teleported further afield.
