Cambusre's barracks were set up in the Plains Wilderness of the Mithril Culvert, and they had just approached the culvert when they were intercepted by mechanical guards who suddenly appeared.

The mechanical guard is a constructed golem about 4 meters tall, and the delicate circle circuit is wrapped in a very evenly brushed rosin on the shell, shimmering in the sunlight, and the elements visible to the naked eye flow like blood in the circuit. Yang Hai had heard that each of Cambu Slei's Golems was made by hand, so it seemed that what he said was true.

"It's probably that halflings are too short, so they have a soft spot for this kind of big bodyguard." Yang Hai speculated maliciously.

"Defense agreements have been initiated." A mechanical voice came from the Golem's chest: "Intruder found!" Intruder, present the credentials immediately, otherwise the clearance protocol will be activated within 10 seconds. ”

Ricardo showed off the badge given to them by Cambus's military.

Blue light shot out of the Golem's eyes and shone on the badge of passage.

"Proofreading in progress - no anomalies in proofreading, defense protocols lifted." The Golem's emotionless mechanical voice said, "Please pass." ”

After saying that, the eyes of the Constructed Golem dimmed, the limbs retracted into the torso, and the elemental magic on the circuit also lost its luster at the same time, and in an instant, the Golem turned into an inconspicuous stone on the side of the road.

"Yikes!" Ricardo was also surprised: "I haven't returned to Cambu Shire for a long time, and the Energy Council's natural camouflage project has been successful!" ”

"Have we ever beaten a golem?" Kakuluchia asked Yang Hai quietly.

"I can't beat it." Yang Hai said categorically: "This is the pride of the Energy Council, the Tower of Babel H Combat Type Golem. Level 90 Rare Mutant Elite. Reduce 80% of all damage taken, immune to spell control effects, come with a magnetic field, laser turret can also summon little golems, the only flaw is low intelligence. We don't have enough to cut together. ”

"The Energy Council's Constructed Golem is so strong, why do you want us to help?" Kakulucia said.

"No matter how powerful the robot is, it is not intelligent and cannot cope with complex situations. Halflings themselves are a poor fighting race. Yang Hai took it for granted that the Energy Council's wax sitting, "If the mechanical products could overcome the weakness of not having intelligence, then the halfling engineers would have already ruled the continent." So I'm very interested in Harrison's ability to create intelligent mechanical life. ”

"Do you think the rumors here might be true?" Kakuluchia asked.

"How is that possible?" Yang Hai scoffed: "If a big engineer in the Energy Council can make mechanical life, I will eat the keyboard live in the league." Alchemy and engineering are diametrically opposed disciplines, and alchemy can do everything except alchemy; Engineering can only do everything within the scope of engineering. Mechanical life is not reliable. Even if the machine really has life. That's what alchemy can do. ”

Along the way, they passed through three checkpoints, and after countless interrogations of the constructed golems, they finally entered the military barracks of Cambusre.

Cambusre's army was an eye-opener, and if it weren't for the fact that it was a military camp. They would surely have thought it was a factory. The barracks of the halflings were built underground. The ground was hollowed out three floors. Railroad tracks stretch out underground, and more than a dozen robots with different functions are in full swing.

Some are transporting ore, others are repairing parts. Some were conducting security checks, some were loading weapons, and Yang Hai even saw the overseer robot inside.

"Overseer robot ......" Yang Hai was speechless, and he asked Ricardo: "Are robots also lazy?" ”

Ricardo smiled bitterly, and his beard turned purple: "Don't ask me, don't ask me, this world is changing too fast, it's only been more than a year, and I don't know Cambu Shray anymore." ”

As they spoke, a sweaty Energy Council engineer with a wrench in his hand said dissatisfiedly, "It's not all Harrison's fault, what the hell did he try, he said he wanted to give life and emotion to machines." Now that Harrison has succeeded, the big men in the Energy Council have copied Harrison's previous achievements on Lao Tzu's robots, so that I have to make a batch of specialized overseer robots. ”

"What's the cliché?" Ricardo was curious.

"It's an emotional matrix, invented by Master Harrison, and the robot will be lazy after loading." "Master Harrison thinks that in order for robots to have emotions, they must first have the same shortcomings as humans. ”

"You're an admirer of Harrison?" Yang Hai asked sensitively.

"Of course, who isn't an admirer of Master Harrison!" The engineer's attitude was very unexpected: "Master Harrison is a truly great engineer, but I signed a contract to work for the group of rice buckets in the Energy Council. ”

A sharp explosion suddenly sounded on the other side, and the engineer muttered indignantly: "Damn, the steam valve is cracked again, damn it!" Then he carried his kit, waved his wrench, and ran away at a trot.

"Even your own engineers are admirers of enemy leaders, huh?" Mecca said lazily, "I can see why Cambu Shire is so persecuted. ”

Ricardo looked a little embarrassed.

"I suddenly had a hunch." Kakuluchia smiled and said to Yang Hai: "You seem to be going to eat the keyboard live broadcast." ”

Yang Hai's face flushed.

"There's no such thing as mechanical life." Yang Hai said angrily: "Don't talk about eating keyboards in live broadcasts, if he really makes a mechanical life through engineering means, I will cut my dick live broadcast!" ”

"Forget it then." Kakuluchia smiled and said, "You should still have that thing useful, so don't cut it." ”

"Your sister." Yang Hai kicked over-

Walking through a labyrinth of underground passages, they saw General Statham in the command center on the third basement floor. Statham has the meaning of a giant in halflingling, and General Statham is indeed much more burly than the average halfling.

"Yikes. He's as tall as you. "Kakuluchia teases Mecca.

The flirtatious dwarven warrior didn't know what to say for a moment, so he glared at Kakulucia fiercely.

When the purple-robed mage took Mejia away, Yang Hai vaguely heard Mecca muttering: "What if you are Lao Tzu's soldier......"

General Statham's voice was low and gentle, and by the standards of a halfling, it was rugged and bold. Accustomed to the emotionless mechanical sound and the shrill voice characteristic of a halfling along the way, General Statham's voice was surprisingly pleasant.

"Hah! Ricardo, my old fellow, I thought you would never come back. Statham ignored the others and jumped over to give the Death Knight a hug.

Everyone's attention was immediately focused - mission!

Ricardo is a very powerful NPC, and this kind of NPC must have a super quest on him. Yang Hai also listened intently. Even if he didn't have any other thoughts at this time. But it's not always a bad thing to listen to the pre-task, and maybe some anecdotes will directly increase his Erudition skill level. Since he began to travel the continent, Yang Hai's polymath skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and a lot of his knowledge has grown from listening to NPCs chatting in the tavern.

"I have betrayed my oath to the Light. Choose Fall. Friends. Ricardo smiled faintly: "But that doesn't mean I no longer love the land that gave birth to me - the dead also have feelings." Whatever the Energy Council does wrong. Harrison went too far. ”

In order to gain transcendent power, the Death Knight renounced life and existed in the form of an undead. Belonging to the Dark Sword, they are the few undead on the continent who are recognized without being sanctioned. The crowd immediately began to make up the story of what had happened to him based on Ricardo's words.

"But there's no denying it. Harrison succeeded. Statham's face was tired, the thin wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled, and his beard hung listlessly: "He really created mechanical life, and I saw those soldiers on the battlefield with my own eyes, and they had their own emotions like real life, wailing because of their injuries and retreating from fear...... Fight for the mission. Ricardo, we were wrong, the Energy Council was wrong. We once thought mechanical armies that would not be tired, hungry, or fearful were invincible, but Harrison proved that armies of flesh and blood are the strongest. The irony is that the undead have proven it, and the armies of the undead, who have no emotion and no fear, have never really ruled this world, and we still make the same mistakes. ”

Yang Hai saw that Kakuluchia was squeezing his eyebrows and lip-syncing him, and the lip shape looked very much like a "live broadcast dick".

"It's useless to feel like this." Ricardo whispered, "I'm now a deacon of the Mercenary Guild, and I'm here to fulfill my mission." IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MR. POSEIDON CAN DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE SECRET ARSENAL BY THE CAPTURED ENEMY GOLEMS, AND I NEED YOU TO TAKE ME TO SEE THEM. ”

"No captives, Ricardo." Statham sighed, "Those golems were created with self-destruct pact, and when they were defeated, they would explode without even shards left. If I could have researched, I wouldn't be as helpless as I am now. After the start of the war, we had been defeated for two hundred miles, and beyond that there was the Arc River beach, and we could no longer retreat. Ricardo, I can only count on you and your people to give me an idea now, I have nothing I can do. ”

"If those golems were alive at all." Statham's adjutant suddenly spoke: "Then the self-destruct agreement that has been placed is not equivalent to murder?" Harrison, this is a crime! ”

"You may be right, young man." The ghostly fire in Ricardo's eyes flashed, and his beard changed color sharply: "But if we do nothing, he will not be sanctioned for what he has done." ”

"I'm going to go around the battlefield myself." Yang Hai said to Kakulucia, "There is a strange feeling about this, the self-destruction pact is a common procedure for golems, but I always feel that Harrison is covering up something. ”

Kakuluchia smiled: "You'd better find something, or you're going to go live-"

"Fuck off!" Yang Hai said angrily: "Bring the shadow potion and cat's eye potion, the battlefield of the halfling is very dangerous. Time is running out for the mission, and we need to hurry up. (To be continued......)
