Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 58 Stop!

Mechanical Guard.

Born in the post-Pagavaro battle period.

An anti-demon steam-powered mechanical warrior jointly developed by the Old London Institute of Mechanics and the Imperial Northern Steam Company.

Each mechanical guard is equipped with a loyal warrior of the Ingevir Empire.

Of course, these are instructions open to the public.

In fact, every mechanical guard fighter will go through rounds of screening and undergo some mechanized transformation of the human body.

A mechanical circuit inlaid with a man-made demon core is implanted in the spine of the warrior, and the other slot of the mechanical circuit is connected to the control core of the mechanical guard, which is used as an energy source to drive the steam boiler.

This technique is inspired by a certain race of demons captured on the battlefield.

If Rhodes has the opportunity to check, he will find that the mechanical circuit implanted in the warrior's spine has an extremely similar technical design to the M500 magazine he holds.

It's just that one is used on the human body, while the other is used on weapons.

Of course, this type of design inevitably has extremely strong side effects on the human body and has extremely poor stability.

When the mechanical circuit is damaged and an accident occurs, the man-made demon core will eventually cause the human warriors to be infected.

The battle between the mechanical guard and West declared the failure of the mechanical guard after the opponent violently demolished the protective baffle of the cabin.

Especially when the Mechanical Guard is forcibly pulled from the cabin.

"Stop! This is not what we should be doing!"

Cindy manipulates the resummoned water elemental in an attempt to stop West's goofball.

He didn't want to be wanted by the old London government just because of a mission.

If it was just abducting a person, at most it would only be investigated by the investigation department, but if the mechanical guard was scrapped and the fighter who controlled the mechanical guard was killed by the way, it would not be a simple matter.

The water elemental slammed into West hard, knocking it against the wall next to the street.

The soldier who was forcibly pulled out by West fell from West's hand.

Under Rhode's instruction, Aesop stretched out his tentacles and rolled the warrior over.

West, who couldn't find his target and fell into a mad state, fought with Cindy's water element.

Rhodes carefully inspected the soldier. His condition was very bad. All the blood vessels and tendons in his body were protruding like varicose veins, and he looked quite hideous.

In particular, the opponent's body is constantly oozing out a large amount of black polluted mucus.

Rhode squinted, and he turned the opponent's body over.

Reach out and tear off the mechanical parts on its back.

Rhodes frowned at this moment.

A black, throbbing demonic core is embedded in the warrior's spine.

Moreover, there is a serial number on this devil core.

"E-1009"

Is this the man-made demon core?

This kind of thing was mentioned in Robert's notebook. At that time, Rhodes was still wondering what the artificial devil core was for, but now, he roughly understood one of the functions of the artificial devil core.

Rhodes carefully inspected the core, trying to take it out of the opponent's body.

But the sticky tentacles above the core were completely connected to the soldier's spine, if they were forcibly removed, it would immediately lead to the soldier's death.

"cough"

Black blood spilled from the man's mouth.

He opened his eyes slowly.

"It's useless. This thing will be with me for the rest of my life since it was implanted."

"Why do you do this?" Rhodes asked in a low voice, he was puzzled.

"For human beings." His tone was calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes. He wanted to figure out the grievances between the remnants of the old era and the old London government. This time may be an opportunity.

He decided to expose his identity as a remnant of the old era.

"Isn't there still a way for human beings to temper their qi and blood?"

"Cough cough."

The soldier glanced at Rhodes, and he could confirm that the man wearing the bird's beak mask in front of him was a remnant of the old era.

Because only the group of stubborn remnants, until now, are still constantly tempering the strength of the human body.

He once also believed in the development of the human body, but some things were unpredictable.

Just like himself, as an imperial warrior, his existence is subject to the Ingeville Empire. He cannot choose his own path, but he can choose his own death.

He suddenly reached out and took Rhode's hand.

"Kill me before I mutate!"

His face suddenly became hideous again at this moment, perhaps because he was worried that Rhodes would have a psychological burden, he resisted the pain and said in a low voice:
"When I was on the battlefield in the past, I killed my chief with my own hands. This is his order. This is also the tradition of our mechanical guards. We must maintain a human posture even if we die! Help me!"

Rhodes was speechless.

He looked at the struggling warrior at the moment.

Slowly took out the scalpel.

In the soldier's gratified eyes, he suddenly turned it over.

The other party didn't even react.

The scalpel in Rhodes' hand had pierced into the skin tissue implanted with mechanical circuits in the opponent's spine.

Robert's Notes on Medical Surgical Techniques.

One of them is the destruction of the core of artificial demons.

Today, Rhodes has a preliminary understanding of why this grandpa is devoted to researching this kind of technology.

Rooted in this era, the contradiction between the remnants of the old era and the old London government.

The idea of ​​the remnant party in the old era is to completely destroy the demons and drive them out of the world where humans live.

Although the old London government was also fighting against demons, the route it chose was to use the power of machinery and demons to fight against demons by transforming human beings into beings that could withstand the power of demons.

Although human beings have obtained an increase in power, the final result is the symbiosis of demons and human beings.

This is a war of ideas.

"Aesop, pass me the tweezers."

Rhodes whispered.

A black tentacle rolled a pair of tweezers and sent it into Rhodes' hands.

Rhodes lifted the last layer of muscle tissue with tweezers.

He looked at the skin muscles lifted by himself, and the delicate tentacles connected to the spine inside.

At this point, how to separate those tentacles from the nerve branches on the spine is the most important step.

The experimental data recorded in Robert's notebook also stagnated here, and all failed in the end.

Because with the current technology, it is simply impossible to separate the nerve branches from the fine hooks of the tentacles.

but.
Rhodes glanced at Aesop.

This guy was eating a lot just now, this will be very comfortable, and it's his turn to work hard.

"Aesop, can you peel off the tentacle hook on this devil's core from his spinal nerve branch?"

"Great master, this kind of work is what I am best at."

Aesop showed a large number of dense fuzzy tentacles at the end of his tentacles and the hooks on the tentacles.

As a skilled veteran who uses tentacles, its technique is absolutely reliable and professional, and this kind of stripping is trivial to it.

"After peeling off, do a good job of applying medicine and disinfecting the wound."

Rhodes pointed to the tools in the medicine box.

"Please rest assured, Aesop will ensure that his life is stable."

"Ah."

Rhodes stood up and handed over the next steps to Aesop.

He looked towards the area lit by the Zeppelin.

West's battle with the water elemental is drawing to a close.

With the help of Margaret, the water element controlled by Cindy completely suppressed West within a very small range of activities.

The frantic West's completely irrational style of play also made him fall into the trap designed in advance by Margaret and Cindy.

But the key problem is that at this time, the group of mechanical guards has arrived on the battlefield.

If the situation is allowed to continue to develop.

Rhode felt that Margaret's plan was likely to directly declare bankruptcy.

Now, it's his turn to play the golden supporting role.
