I Am A Priest In The Otherworld

The young shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he looked at Amia carefully for a while, confirming that it was indeed knitting a sweater, and then pinched his thigh, then rubbed his eyes vigorously...

In short, it is incredible.

After he tried all the methods to keep himself awake, he finally stopped, and quickly asked Gallo:

"How did you do it?"

"Although this'Black Reaper' has the most advanced command module and is loaded with the latest command set, it is far superior to all previous models in terms of operability..."

"But the command for knitting sweaters obviously cannot be the original command. You modified the command set? Are you a certain magic puppet master who participated in research and development and design?"

It seems that he understood Amia's knitting behavior as an order from Gallo.

This is indeed easier to accept than the saying that "the magic puppet knits sweaters by himself".

Gallo showed a speechless expression and said angrily:

"That is because it wants to knit a sweater on its own, not my order!"

"If I am really a master of magic puppets, I still need to buy your book?"

"Although it is a little stupid, it has a real soul, and it is not comparable to your toys!"

The young shopkeeper couldn't help but was taken aback, with a collapsed look on his face, and he kept muttering in his mouth:

"Impossible... It is impossible... How can the magic puppet produce self-awareness? How can it produce soul?"

But he immediately realized that his statement was wrong, and quickly changed his words:

"No... this statement is not accurate. It should be said that how can such a crude war weapon produce soul?"

After all, he squatted down like no one else, and kept writing and drawing on the floor with his fingers, whispering in his mouth a lot of technical terms that others could not understand.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head again and asked Gallo:

"Can I take a closer look at it?"

Gallo didn't mind.

But Amia mind...

As soon as the young talent approached it a little bit, it stretched out its big hand and pushed it away unceremoniously. Anyway, it was just a drag, ‘Don’t touch me! ’Looks like.

The young man fell backwards and retreated far away, and finally stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground.

He didn't feel any pain at all, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he continued to mumble:

"How could this be? This distance, and the actions I used, according to the literature, shouldn't trigger the RX-78-GP03D self-alert mechanism at all?"

"But it's not right? If I triggered the alert mechanism just now, it shouldn't be such a gentle push to push me away, but it should be a direct attack..."

Although this young man was a little crazy when he saw Ami Ya, he should still be in stock, and he was very familiar with the performance of Ami Ya's magic puppet.

He knew very well that although the opponent's movements were rough, he had actually retained his hand and only used a small amount of strength. If he followed the normal power of the "Black Death", he would probably die.

"Able to adjust its power according to the situation... does it really have a soul?"

The young man whispered to himself, and quickly climbed up from the ground. Regardless of his embarrassment, he begged Gallo without dignity:

"Please, let me take one final test!"

"It's just a very simple test. It doesn't take much time. It just requires you to cooperate with me."

Gallo shrugged and motioned for him to hurry up.

"First of all, can you tell it not to attack me? I need to get closer, but I promise not to get too close, nor reach out to touch it..."

"It already knows."

Gallo replied.

The young shopkeeper couldn't help being surprised again...

He didn't see Gallo making extra moves, nor did he hear any instructions from him.

And if this magic puppet really stops attacking itself after a while, it means it can really understand itself! And make your own judgment!

This is very telling!

And if it can pass its next test...

The young shopkeeper was calm, and bravely approached Amia, closer than before.

This time, Amia did not attack again!

The young shopkeeper's face suddenly showed that kind of surprise.

He quickly greeted Amia:

"Hi, hello, can we make a little game?"

Amia didn't respond to him, she looked very cold.

But the other party has taken care of himself since he took out a coin-sized biscuit and a gold coin in his arms, placed it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Amia.

"This is a very simple little game..."

"Look, there are two round things here, you can choose the one you like better..."

"I will put them in my pocket for a while, and then I hope you can guess that the one you like is put in that pocket..."

"If you guessed it right, I will give it to you as a gift, how about it?"

Although the rules of the game he formulated sounded simple, it was a very abstract and very troublesome problem for a soulless magic puppet.

They must first know the difference between gold coins and biscuits.

It is easy for humans to distinguish between these two things, but for the magic puppet, it is a huge problem. They don't even know what means to distinguish.

This first step alone is already very difficult. The young people have been bored in the store and worked hard for many years, but only barely achieved this step, and they still used some relatively mechanical and rigid methods.

And even if you pass the first level, there will be a more difficult second level.

Which one do you like?

What should I like?

What is like?

Each question is like a human philosophical question to the magic puppet, profound and obscure.

Even if both steps are accomplished, in the end, he has to get around his blindfold and find things from his pocket...

What is the pocket involved? What kind of action should I use to find things to wait for difficult problems.

This set of testing methods was invented by the young shopkeeper himself, and has not been disclosed to the outside world before. Gallo is unlikely to respond and prepare in advance.

In short, this test sounds simple, but for a magic puppet, it is no different from the ultimate test.

Once passed, it will mean that it really has a soul, the same soul as a human!

With anticipation and anxiety in his heart, the young shopkeeper moved his hand closer.

Amia put down the sweater needle in her hand, then waved her hand again, and drove away the little milk cat who wanted to take the opportunity to play with the wool.

Then, it looked down at the cookies and gold coins in the opponent's hand.

Then, it suddenly stretched out its hand, pinched the opponent's ankle, raised him upside down, shaking vigorously.

The young shopkeeper couldn’t take care of the test anymore, and suddenly screamed like a pig:

"Wow! Help! Help!"

Several coins, gold coins, silver coins, copper, and everything were jingle falling out of him, and the amount was quite a lot.

In addition, pocket watches, bracelets, brooches, key chains and other accessories were dropped, and even a few shiny gems.

It wasn't until he couldn't get anything out of him, Amia let go, bent down, picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one, and put them into her stomach.

Then, as if nothing happened, he sat back and continued knitting.

Gallo, who was watching, couldn't help but laugh, and asked Ami:

"You just carried the money? Don't you pay it?"

Amia quickly covered her belly with her hands and kept shaking her head.

"Then you can keep it if you like it, but what's the use of asking for money if you have a magic puppet?"

Gallo joked again.

But the young shopkeeper, who was dizzy, retorted loudly:

"Nonsense! She is not a magic puppet! She is a real person!"

After all, he struggled to get up, but he was dizzy and could only sit on the ground weakly and said weakly:

"She... she..."

"How do you...how do you...?"

"Hehe, I don't know either."

Gallo answered very seriously.

The young shopkeeper stayed on the ground for a while, and then managed to get up, picking up the things that fell on the ground casually, and rushing to Gallo, grabbing his hand, and said sincerely:

"Master, accept me as a student!"

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"

Gallo quickly shook his hand. He didn't know anything about the magic puppet. He even had to spend a lot of time for a few basic books. Why should he accept students?

Besides, this kind of guy who hides in the house and plays with dolls is perverted to think about. If it is not for those hard-to-buy books, I don't want to deal with him more.

"Master, I am sincere!"

As the young shopkeeper said, he didn't care about his dignity and planned to kneel down.

Gallo quickly supported her and said seriously:

"I really don't understand any magic puppet. The reason why I brought you here is also on the spur of the moment. I want to show you what a magic puppet with a real soul is like..."

"So, do you still think your soulless toys can sell for 1,000 gold?"

"No, no, they are worthless!"

The young shopkeeper shook his head vigorously, and said very seriously:

"Master, if you want those books, I will go back and bring them to you!"

"Also, Master, which toy do you like, just ask, I will give it to you for free!"

"As long as you can point me to a few words, so that I can also see a little bit of the mystery of the soul!"

Gallo is really speechless...

I'm a pastor, a soul that knows a fart...

In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding, he plans to have a good chat with him.

The garden was obviously not a suitable place for conversation, so Gallo took the man back to the church.

But when he walked into the church, he suddenly remembered that he had moved to the new church. There is no confession room here. The confession room is separate...

Moreover, Lilian Luo, who was supposed to be responsible for guarding the church and receiving guests, would be lying on the bench and sleeping.

Her petite body curled up into a ball, looking like a cute little beast. Although she was well dressed, she deliberately took off her shoes, revealing a pair of small feet wrapped in white stockings.

The huge church was deserted, only a poor little milk cat stood by the door, and whimpered at Gallo.

No wonder Lilian Luo didn't rush to greet him when she came back...

No wonder there are only four small milk cats frolicking next to Amia...

Gallo now knows why.

But it's not the time to care about these things, and then go back and settle the accounts.

He first asked the young shopkeeper to sit upright on the bench, and then asked:

"Name, age, hometown, occupation!"

The other party quickly replied:

"My name is Ma De. I am 23 years old and I come from...from a remote country. I am a puppeteer."

"Well Mad, I have to tell you the truth. I will break your unrealistic fantasy."

Gallo then talked to the other party about the purpose of buying books and magic puppets, frankly that he did this to design an enchantment, and repeatedly stressed that he knew nothing about magic puppets.

But the other party seemed to be unable to understand people, and said very stubbornly:

"But your magic puppet has a real soul, doesn't it?"

"Let me join your research! Through watching and studying, I may be able to see some mysteries..."

"Of course, I will not interrupt your research, and at the same time, I am willing to share with you the knowledge of magic puppet learning for free, and my previous promise is still valid."

"I just need you to let me watch."

Hearing what he said, Gallo really couldn't say much.

He was a little moved by the sincerity of the other party, and his impression of him has changed a lot.

It seems that this guy really wants the magic puppet to have a soul, not to sell his toys.

Moreover, the other party had already promised to give something, and in the church, speaking in front of the goddess, this constituted an act of worship, and he could not refuse it.

After weighing left and right, Gallo finally nodded.

Madd suddenly jumped up for joy, as happy as a child.

The two of them planned to go back to the magic puppet shop and retrieve the books and a doll.

Misseran stayed and helped Gallo guard the church.

Although it is nonsense to ask a bishop of another denomination to help watch the church, there is no way. There must always be a talking creature in the church, right?

I can only blame Lilian Luo for being too unreliable...

On the way back to the magic puppet shop in the carriage, Gallo suddenly remembered a detail, and then asked:

"Is there any magic puppet in your shop that is smaller in size?"

Anyway, the magic puppet was brought back for experimentation, not for play. Since it is an experiment, it must be moved around. Naturally, it is better to choose a smaller one, which is easier to use.

Madder suddenly showed a knowing smile and said:

"So hello, Master..."

"However, the styles in my store are only older women. Would you like me to tailor one that meets the requirements?"

"No, no, no, no more."

Gallo waved his hands repeatedly.

I always think this guy, there is something wrong...
