reward...

Mu Xiu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that if he followed the routine, the other party would make all kinds of difficult demands——

Aren't there all so-called masters like that, who obviously became famous in that industry and made a living by relying on that craft, but just because of this, they think they are very high and they think they are great.

If it's just an exchange of equal value, asking customers to help them fulfill certain conditions as a reward in exchange for their services, that's fine.

But in fact, their attitude is so bad that they are purely making things difficult for the sake of making things difficult, not for an equivalent exchange.

Not only do you have to rely on that line of work to make a living, but you also have to put on airs by making things difficult for others, to show how great your abilities are...

Does such behavior really have any practical significance?
Shaking his head, he frowned slightly, as if he looked a little embarrassed: "Miss Cangqi, what do you think is a more suitable remuneration?"

Originally, he thought it would take a lot of talking to persuade the other party to complete the deal, so he deduced many ways to deal with it in his mind, but he didn't expect Aoqi Chengzi's attitude to be so straightforward.

She agreed directly, and it seems that as long as the price is agreed, the matter can be negotiated, so Mu Xiu is a little unprepared, he really doesn't know what he has that can be used to trade.

Especially when the target is Aozaki Orange's puppet technology that has reached the magic field.

"How do I know this? There is no standard for this."

Breathing out a long puff of smoke rings, Aozaki Chengzi replied in a funny way while snuffing out the cigarette that had turned into ashes.

"There are not many people who come to me, but everyone's requirements are completely different, so naturally the price is also different. In this regard, of course, you quote a psychological price. I'll see if it's worth it..."

"That's right, it makes sense." Mu Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then began to think seriously.

Aoqi Chengzi is so straightforward, although it is somewhat different from the magician in his impression, more like a businessman.However, considering her background and experience, it is not surprising that this Jialan Hall was originally an office in nature.

However, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, how should I quote now?
Aoqi Chengzi didn't urge her, she just approached the window lightly, opened the curtain of the office, and looked out from there.

There is no electric light in this room, and there is only sunlight coming in from the outside, so it is hard to tell whether it is noon or evening.Looking down at the back of the scenery outside the window, it seems to gradually assimilate into the sunlight.

Like a mirage seeping into white light.

It must have been a little while.

Mu Xiu seemed to have thought it through, he raised his head, coughed, and said, "Miss Aoqi, how about I exchange the complete information about the third law with you?"

According to the principle of equivalent exchange, he decided to use the magic technology he has mastered to exchange the other party's knowledge of reaching the magic field. Besides, the third method is not Mu Xiu's thing, and it doesn't feel bad to sell it for money.

"Huh? The third method?" Aozaki Chengzi changed her indifferent expression, and her eyes became weird when she turned around, "Is it the "Cup of Heaven" about the materialization of the soul? "

"Yes." Mu Xiu said in a nonchalant manner.

"Are you teasing me?" The mature woman with short blue hair frowned, looking dissatisfied, her tone became colder, "Do you think you are a magician?"

"Where is it, I didn't think so." Mu Xiu said quite modestly, waving his hands again and again, "I am indeed a magician, although it is a part-time job."

"..."

"..."

"Well, I wasted my time on a guy like you..."

Aozaki Orange threw the cigarette outside, her voice became as lifeless as plastic, she waved her hand impatiently. "If it's okay, get out, before I get angry."

Mu Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth, and then sighed: "I just think you are so straightforward, so I don't want to take advantage of you...Because to be honest, I don't have any valuable objects in me that can satisfy me. Equivalent exchange."

Then he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something temporarily, his eyes lit up: "How about——shall I rub a Holy Grail for you?"

"..." Cang Qi Chengzi now looked at the boy from a simple contempt mode to an even more impolite care for mentally handicapped children.

"Tsk, there's really no way." Mu Xiu could only sigh again, and then walked towards the other party, completely ignoring Cang Qi Chengzi's vigilant eyes.

He stretched out his hand and lifted up the sleeve of the black coat on his right arm, and then put his arm in front of Aozaki Orange, making a gesture of "please".

"What do you mean?" The woman seemed to frowned slightly.

"You are the crown puppet master, and you can create such a perfect puppet, you must have enough understanding of the human body?" Mu Xiu suggested solemnly. "That's how I prove myself."

"Tch, what are you talking about, you think you are..."

Laughing subconsciously, Aoqi Chengzi just glanced at the boy's arm that didn't seem to have any muscle lines, but looked a little slender.

Then the conversation stopped abruptly because she couldn't look away.

……

……

Despite living a life of incognito and depravity, and even occasionally working part-time as an architect to obtain the money necessary to survive in society, it is undeniable that Aozaki's rank as a magician is the highest crown. .

——Although this is more reflected in her technical aspects of making dolls, to be precise, she is a crown humanoid artist, not a crown magician.

The dolls mentioned here do not refer to those humanoid toys that ordinary people recognize, such as dolls, dolls, clay figures, life-sized physical dolls and the like, those are just the most common "commodities" .

The puppet making technology mastered by Aozaki Orange is the magic concept in the field of human body imitation. She can create high-performance automatic dolls in the modern age where the mystery has declined.

And what is even more frightening is that in the process of pursuing the prototype of the body, he accidentally discovered the technique of making a doll that is exactly the same as himself.This has surpassed the absolute law left by the heyday of magic in the middle ages.

——"Even if you create a doll that surpasses human beings, it is impossible to create something that is the same as a human being."

As a result, Aoqi Chengzi also had the dangerous idea of ​​"With this, don't I need my current self?", and I really put it into action according to this idea.

She prepares a dormant puppet of herself at any time. Once the living Aoqi orange dies, the memory will be directly transferred to the prepared body, and it will wake up again or be resurrected.

And after waking up, she will make another body to prepare for activities, and then enter dormancy.

In a sense, this has achieved the effect of "immortality". Even the orange Aozaki who appeared in front of Mu Xiu now is actually just one of the dolls later.

However, even in the vision of someone who goes deep into atoms and energy and touches the level of "existence", the body of a mature woman who is Aozaki Tachibana is no different from ordinary people, and there is no such thing as those who can't do well. place.

Even Mu Xiu, who has truly stepped into the ranks of the gods, has not been able to find any obvious differences and defects in her body compared with the body of a normal person.

In conclusion, Aozaki Touko who appeared at this time period is the real person, so-so, this is enough to be judged as "perfect".

It is a miraculous doll technique that has reached the realm of magic.

However, her use of this method gave birth to an inevitable question, that is, are the original Canozaki oranges and the current Canozaki oranges the same "existence"?
Did the original body not know when and where it died?So every her that appeared later was a brand new, duplicated Aozaki orange?
"As you can see, it's a new me, but it's also me." She quickly replied, without even raising her head, she concentrated on the study of Mu Xiu's arm.

At this time, it was already dark outside.

Only the flickering white light illuminates the living room, and the walls are illuminated by the light, extending to the depths of the corridor outside the door.Artificial light that dispels darkness is inhuman, more unpleasant than the darkness that should be dispelled.

Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at his right arm resting on the table next to him, and then at the woman who couldn't bear to look away. He always felt that something was wrong. sense of sight.

——Why do you look like you are donating blood?
He shook his head, and then continued to ask calmly: "Do you mean that the previous you and the current you are real?"

"Hmph, isn't this a matter of course? The previous me and the present me are both created. Even I don't know when I exchanged with myself."

The orange magician spoke with an extremely evil smile, but still did not raise his head.

"Although my body is made, it is the only existence of "Aozaki Touko".I wake up when the active me dies, because everything the dead me got is recorded, and if I inherit those things, I'm the same as before. "

Mu Xiu listened quietly, without expressing his opinion.

But Aoqi Chengzi probably wanted to find a topic at this time, so that this situation could continue, so she took the initiative to explain——

"A few years ago, during a certain experiment, I accidentally made a doll that was exactly like me. There is no performance that can exceed my own, and there is no place that is inferior to my own. It is a container that truly has exactly the same function. .”

"When making the same doll, I am undoubtedly the same person. So, the me who was killed may not be the original me. But the original me may also be there, and I don't even know it. where he fell asleep."

"Because they are all exactly the same containers, there is no so-called way to distinguish them. Although they are all a bunch of "uncertainty", this is the truth.Like a cat that doesn't know if it's dead or alive until you open the box, what matters is the reality of what's happening right now? "

Mu Xiu was not much shocked, but was seriously thinking about the words that the crown humanoid master calmly said that could subvert the three views of people.

Even though she herself can't be sure which is the original original body, but because it is exactly the same, and only one of herself is active at the same time.

So although each of them may be made by herself, because there is no way to tell, so every Aozaki orange is real?
"It's too hard to believe, are you really human?" Exhaling forcefully, Aoqi Chengzi finally finished checking Mu Xiu's arm, and then... looked at Mu Xiu with radiant eyes Cultivate the whole person.

As the other party said, as the most senior puppeteer, she has a thorough understanding of the human body, and she is definitely one of the top few people in the world.

But at this moment, I still feel unbelievable. Perhaps the key to creating a human form that surpasses human beings lies in this guy.

"Where is it, but I am indeed not a human being." Mu Xiu said quite modestly, waving his hands again and again.

"..."

"..."

Aozaki Chengzi's expression suddenly became a little subtle, why does this scene seem familiar.
