The result was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one expected that it would take Lucius twenty-seven days to successfully complete the book path, complete the bet with the senior brother Wen Dao San, and win the paper cutting knife forged from extraterritorial meteoric iron in Wen Dao San's hand.

Wendao is addicted to gambling, but he is a guy who does what he says, when he saw Lucius walking slowly, he directly handed over the paper cutter in his hand: "Willing to gamble and lose, this is what you deserve." ”

Taking the paper cutter handed to him by Wen Dao San, Lucius smiled and put the paper cutting knife into the metal box around his waist, and at the same time took out the previous firearm, handed it to Wen Dao San and said, "Come and don't be rude, this firearm is a welcome gift from me to you." ”

Seeing that Lu Xius and his senior brother exchanged greeting gifts, the disciples of the academy present were all dumbfounded, even the second senior brother Yi Xuan, who had always been calm, was also greedy for the things in the hands of the two at this time.

You must know that the paper cutter of Wendao III is really indestructible, and the paper cutter also has a unique place, that is, it is engraved with some of the cultivation experience of Wendao San, which is the result of Wendao San's perennial care and self-cultivation.

It can be said that the value of the paper cutter is definitely not only sharp, but more importantly, the things contained in the paper cutter, which are absolutely impossible to buy with any gold or silver.

And the guns that Lucius exchanged for were something that the disciples of the academy had always dreamed of, and for the disciples of the academy, they had long heard of such a thing as firearms, and they had also seen records about firearms from some ancient classics of the academy.

Even the disciples of the academy had tried, tried to make firearms, and now a truly legendary firearm appeared in front of them, it can be said that this very mysterious weapon, especially the firearm from the inheritor of that sky city, will definitely make the disciples of the academy covetous.

Playing with the firearm in his hand, Wen Daosan couldn't help but smile at Lucius and said, "I didn't expect you to be so generous that you would really give me a gun." ”

Instead, Lucius responded calmly: "Nothing. In fact, guns are not very complicated machines, you only need to master the manufacturing method, you can also make them yourself, and guns are tools of war, if they are not necessary, I don't want to make them. ”

Yi Xuan sneered when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, you don't want to make them, but the mechanical warriors you make are not all war machines? ”

I heard Otogen's cynicism. Lucius didn't have any annoyance, but looked at Yi Xuan with a smile and said, "What you said is not right, the founder of the Sanctuary didn't develop the machine to start a war, he just wanted to use the machine to change our lives. ”

As he spoke, Lucius pointed to Beluti and No. 3 and No. 4 and said, "Do you think they were created to fight? It seems that you, as the second senior brother of the academy, are also very narrow-minded. ”

Ignoring Otogen's annoyance, Lucius directly ordered Three and Four to explain what they had done in the first place, and what they had done.

When the number three and number four say their identity. And when they used to work as processing robots in Clover's workshop, they were in charge of processing various products on the assembly line.

Including Du Liniang and the others, everyone was surprised, and now the third and fourth who looked extremely powerful in combat power. At the beginning, it was actually a processing robot in the workshop, not specially built for fighting, but for them to process and work instead of humans.

Lucius's words left Yi Xuan a little speechless, and then Lecius looked around. Looking at all the stunned people, he said, "Are you really very narrow-minded, do you really think that machines are made for war? The original purpose of machinery manufacturing is to solve the shortage of labor. ”

"Increasing the efficiency of labor, thereby reducing the use of labor, will also reduce the cost of labor itself, it is not for the sake of war as you think, it is a last resort to be used in war, in the face of the threat of the eternal kingdom of God, the founder wants to keep the status of the city in the sky, and must make the machine aggressive. ”

As he spoke, Lucius pointed to Augustine and said, "He is a mechanical god created by the founder, but he was actually created to help the founder memorize various mechanical manufacturing drawings and simulate the evolution of various mechanical manufacturing." ”

Finally, he pointed to Mogupatin and said: "He is actually very pitiful, because the founder made him as a cleaning machine for a mechanical castle, but later the mechanical castle had an autonomous consciousness, and as a result, he was placed under house arrest in the mechanical castle for many years." ”

The more he talked about it, the more excited he became, and at last he shouted almost hysterically: "You think that machines are just for war? So you have been resisting machines for so many years, but in fact? Wouldn't there be no war without machines? War is the greed of human nature, and you blame it on the pure machines, what a bunch of ridiculous guys." ”

Lecius's hysteria and ridicule made everyone feel a sense of shame, and it can be said that for most of the people present, the machinery in their minds was linked to war.

But none of them thought that in fact, the machines themselves were not offensive, and the reason why they eventually became tools of war was actually the people who used them to manipulate them, and in the final analysis, the war was initiated by the creatures of all races, and the machines were only tools to be used in it.

Once upon a time, machinery was regarded as the fuse of war, a disaster that caused war and turmoil, and it was for this reason that the city in the sky eventually fell from the sky, and both the West and the East were once very repulsive to a machine.

It is precisely because of this misunderstanding that after the fall of the Holy Realm in the West, the once flourishing brotherhood was finally destroyed by the Holy See and the Temple.

Even when the Brotherhood was destroyed, no Western people felt sorry for it, and those members of the Brotherhood who were captured by the Holy See and burned as heretics could not be laid to rest even after their deaths.

However, in the heyday of the Brotherhood, among the members of the Brotherhood, a large number of machines made by the genius mechanics were still left in various parts of the major Western empires, and even the holy city controlled by the Holy See was full of various mechanical products.

The people of the West, while enjoying the improvement of their lives brought by machines, still regard machines and the Brotherhood as heretical.

Speaking of this, Lucius couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly and said, "It's really an irony that you enjoy the improvement that machines have brought to your lives, but you are cursing the people who make them, and the mechanics end up dying at the hands of the people who make them good." ”

Lecius's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the chests of everyone present, piercing all the false disguises of everyone, and even leaving scars on their hearts.

In fact, everyone present knew very well that whether it was the West or the East, there were all kinds of machinery that served everyone, and those machines had long been integrated into everyone's life.

It's like the pillars of light that will automatically light up at night in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, as well as the dense underground sewage pipes in Chang'an City, and those special cleaning vehicles on the streets of Chang'an City.

In fact, those have machinery, after thousands of years, they still play their due role, providing services and convenience for the people of Chang'an City, so that most of the people of Chang'an City can enjoy the luxury of Chang'an City.

There are many more such machines in the East, and there are many in the West, and even the Holy City controlled by the Holy See in the West was actually built by the Brotherhood in the first place, and it is full of the influence of many different machines.

It seems that the city in the sky has fallen, and the once-rising brotherhood has also been wiped out, but the mechanical civilization has long been integrated into everyone's life, and no one can be separated from the mechanical civilization.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lecius continued: "If the machinery is really rejected and you no longer use any machinery, I'm afraid that Chang'an City will immediately lose its current prosperity, and the whole city will fall into chaos, even your academy, I'm afraid it will also be affected, right?"

Hearing Lucius's words, no one opened their mouths to refute them, because everyone knew that Lucius was telling the truth, and if he really left the machine, Chang'an City would fall into panic and chaos.

Even the academy will be affected, because the academy is built on a mountain, and it needs to use machinery to transport all kinds of food and water, otherwise if it is manual, I am afraid that the thirteen disciples of the academy will spend most of their time carrying water and carrying various things on the mountain every day.

Otogen had to apologize to Lucius: "Your Highness Lucius, I'm really sorry, I take back what I said before, I admit that each of us has become inseparable from machinery. ”

Seeing that Yi Xuan would take the initiative to apologize to others, this really surprised everyone present, you must know that these disciples of the academy know very well that Yi Xuan will not admit mistakes, or that Yi Xuan is a very strict person, and he will not make mistakes.

Only this time, Yi Xuan's words did have a fatal mistake, so he had to bow to Lucius and admit the mistake in his words.

But after apologizing, Yi Xuan then asked, "If there are so many benefits of machinery, then why do you still make machinery for war? For example, this gun you gave my senior brother, does it have other functions besides killing?"

Hearing Yi Xuan's words, the academy disciples present finally came to their senses and understood that their second senior brother was still the second senior brother, and he had always been unforgiving.

Lucius smiled in the face of questioning, raised the paper cutter in his hand and said, "Actually, that gun, in addition to killing, can also be used as a paper cutter." (To be continued......)
