Alien Paradise.

Chapter 442 Man and Machine

The others were undoubtedly wary of this steel creation. The inside and outside of the cathedral had been cleared, and twenty guards were arranged around the small conference room. Sandra's right hand was always on the hilt of the sword.

"I'm the person you're looking for." Chaoyang sat down opposite it and said, "My name is Chaoyang, the envoy of the Paradise Cult. I have the final say on matters here."

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency." The other party replied... The sound came from inside the cockpit, like the sound of two springs colliding with each other, vague and sonorous. "I don't have a name. You can call me No. 1, or a name you like. In addition, if you are worried about me, you can tie me up with a chain. Although this is not in line with etiquette, it can show my sincerity."

I have to say, its wording is almost the same as that of a normal person, and it is not at all stiff like a machine.

"There's no need for chains. What I'm more curious about is, how did a person of your size get to the Thousand Woods Castle?"

"It's not difficult. I just need to disguise myself as a piece of cargo to be transported. When I lie on the pallet of the transport train, no one will bother about my identity." It buzzed back, "Of course, I did scare a group of people when I jumped off the train and walked into the unloading area of ​​Thousand Limburg, but I quickly explained my purpose. I hope they won't have nightmares at night."

It turns out it was hitchhiking here disguised as cargo...it really is something.

"Are you related to the Longjiu family or the God of All Machines?" Chaoyang asked bluntly, "This is the first time I've seen a robot that can talk."

"I am indeed a template, but now the second generation of Gaofeng Butler has appeared. They are all equipped with voice generators, so speaking is no longer a unique feature of mine." When it speaks, the steam overflowing from its torso and limbs will also fluctuate rhythmically. "As for your first question... I can only say that it is related and not related. I was born from the God of All Things and am the heir of Cosmos's will; but I am also an independent individual and do not belong to any family or force."

The moment it uttered the name of the God of All Things, Sandra's sword had already been pulled out two inches.

"Born from the God of All Things?" Chaoyang frowned slightly, "Could it be that the God of All Things has split?"

"It's not about splitting up, it's about dedication. It decided to dedicate everything it has to humanity, and Duke Longjiu was the biggest contributor to this goal." The other party corrected, "It's a pity that His Excellency the Duke was assassinated by a villain, and he can no longer see that beautiful future."

"Nonsense!" Sandra couldn't help but refute, "Wilson Longjiu is a rebel. He betrayed the kingdom and His Majesty William! Because of this brutal rebellion, many people lost their lives in vain... He didn't even let the Laurel family's children go!"

"He betrayed the Laurel Family, but can the Laurel Family represent humanity?" said Machine No. 1. "When a dynasty decays, it becomes a blood-sucking behemoth. Everything it thinks and does is to maintain its own rule. The fall of the Goddess of Fertility proves this... But with the advancement of industrial technology, even without the protection of the gods, the dynasty can still hold on for many years. If Duke Longjiu does not stand up, the world will still not make much progress."

"How is it possible?" the former said angrily, "The Laurel Family has never been complacent. Building fleets, exploring the oceans, and expanding to new continents are all policies that have been unanimously promoted by successive kings! And the General Fares Ben, who you killed, was the most open-minded and wise man in the Kingdom Army! And...what crime did Greg Academy commit that required the Long Jiu Family to swallow it up? Could it be that spreading knowledge would also harm humanity?"

"I have no intention of arguing with you on these issues." The cockpit suddenly turned, as if shaking its head. "But since His Excellency the Envoy of God is here, I still have to respond to you in a limited way to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. It is true that the Kingdom is expanding into the New World, but in essence, the company needs new resources and markets, and the Laurel family also needs a place to exile those unstable personnel. As far as I know, the companies that go to the New World basically have thousands of lives on their hands, because over there, they are the law itself."

"As for General Fares Ben, he is a competent soldier and a loyal watchdog of the Laurel Dynasty. He saw the danger of losing the protection of the gods in advance, and then sought other new gods, or even substitutes for the gods. Do you still remember the battle to eliminate the cult that affected most of the kingdom fifteen years ago? The intelligence obtained by Duke Longjiu shows that the root of all this is related to the general." "What..." Sandra suddenly froze in the middle of her words.

As a government official of the Paradise Church, she naturally learned about the inside story of the Acropolis from Chaoyang. After all, the Phlogiston Company was indeed introduced to the Acropolis by Pharres, and this incident eventually turned into the Mist Crisis that shocked the world.

"Fortunately, the Laurel Dynasty did not accept the general's proposal, otherwise our victory would have been many years later." Number One said calmly, "When a person goes in the wrong direction, the more determined the steps, the greater the damage caused. And Greg Academy... its crime is very simple, that is, the monopoly of knowledge. And the formation of this monopoly has nothing to do with its own level. It is all due to the control of the first-class strange machine. It is purely a blood-sucking worm. In a sense, the academy is also trampling on the last wish of the God of Knowledge Ninata - because the latter would never want to be a tool for a company to make money."

Sandra was at a loss for words for a moment.

During her time in Brilliant Castle, she did see that only merchants and nobles could afford to patronize the academy, and that private schools among the people were suppressed by the academy. But at that time, she didn't care about these things, and she saw them but didn't take them to heart.

Before joining the park, she also thought it was a natural choice for children from civilians to work in mines.

She found herself unable to refute a machine!
"You know a lot..." Chaoyang said in amazement.

"Humans will forget, but we won't. Moreover, I have inherited the experience of both Cosmos and Ninata, so I know more than most people."

"You also have a relationship with the Goddess of Knowledge?"

"The God of All Machines freed her bound remains, and this fusion and reconstruction gave birth to an independent me." Number One explained, "In fact, this body came from a loading wonder next to the All Machine Tower. I chose it because it looks stronger."

It seems that the reason why academies across the country suspended operations was indeed because something went wrong with the core multi-processing machine.

"What is the ultimate goal of the God of All Machines? Is it just to overthrow the corrupt Laurel Dynasty?" Chaoyang asked curiously. Since this machine claims to be the successor of Cosmos's will, it must know the entire plan of the God of All Machines and the Longjiu family. "But as far as I know, your mechanical army is attacking the Kingdom of Winter on a large scale and even invading another world, causing a large number of casualties to innocent people. If it really decides to dedicate everything it has to mankind, how could it openly do something that is hostile to all mankind?"

"Invading... another world?"

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to know nothing about this matter.

Chaoyang realized that this ancient-looking robot could not communicate with the God of All Machines in real time.

In other words, entering the Earth through the portal was not originally part of their plan?
