Originally a Navy, but became the Pirate King

In other words, Misaka Mikoto couldn't forgive herself either.At least, for now.

"Aren't you the bodyguard invited by Dr. Phils? Why did you help the intruder?!" An assistant standing behind Phils asked Leo.

From his flushed face and cold eyes, Leo could see that he was very angry.

"Why? It's so funny, isn't it because you took advantage of my kindness, am I right? Dr. Phils." Leo looked at Phils.

"Ah, that's true. I'm sorry, Leo. I lied to you." Phils nodded.

After learning that Leo was a former vice admiral, Phils concealed their manufacture and sale of weapons.

But because they couldn't stop the intruders from destroying the institute, they had no choice but to trick Leo into helping him repel the intruders.

If another person came, Leo would definitely solve him without saying a word.

But the intruder was Misaka Mikoto, and Leo would definitely not fight her.

Instead, she asked her the purpose of sabotaging the institute, and only then did she learn that she had been deceived.

Although not particularly angry, no one will have a good face when they learn that they have been cheated.

"Why?! Why are we going to make weapons?! Didn't we agree?! Aren't we going to use the research on my abilities to help those people with muscle atrophy?!"

Misaka Mikoto looked at the group of scientists in front of her and asked questions one after another.

When she asked this question, everyone fell silent.

"I'm sorry, little girl. We... can't help it." Fiers sighed, and then said.

It turned out that because of the appearance of Vegapunk, Aleister's science and technology are no longer leading the world.

In the past ten years, Aleister's scientific development has reached a peak, and it is difficult to go one step further.

If Aleister fell again, the people on the island would return to that poor life.

So one day, these scientists made a decision to sell weapons to countries in war.

The weapons made by Aleister are much stronger than the muskets and cannons that are popular today.

The prosperity of Aleister can only be maintained by the income from selling weapons.

"What a high-sounding reason, isn't this the excuse you all found out to escape your incompetence?" Leo looked at the scientists and said in a cold voice.

And Leo's words left them speechless...

PS: Please recommend! !Ask for a reward, a monthly pass! !

Chapter 352 Epiphany

After hearing what Leo said, all the scientists fell silent.

Except for Phils, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Leo and Misaka Mikoto.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what Leo said.

Perhaps as he said, this group of scientists, because they dare not face up to their own incompetence and blindly avoid it, thought of making weapons to sell to countries in war.

This is used to obtain money and maintain a high standard of living for the island residents.

The residents of the island do not know this.

Even the workers who work in weapons factories don't know that they are making weapons.

Only this group of scientists and a small number of people know these things.

But for the sake of Aleister, everyone chose to hide it.

It is very likely that even if the residents of the island know about it, they will remain indifferent.

Because selfishness is the nature of human beings, as long as I still live a prosperous life, how can I care about the lives of others.

Maybe not everyone is like this, but at least most of them are.

But Misaka Mikoto, a kind girl, couldn't turn a blind eye.

Because many of those powerful weapons were manufactured after studying her abilities.

For her, those who died under this weapon were indirectly killed by her.

In Leo's view, there was no need for Misaka Mikoto to blame herself so much, she took all the responsibilities by herself.

She was just deceived by this group of scientists, and this group of scientists was the real culprit.

I still remember that Misaka Mikoto said that a guy who is willing to help a stranger is undoubtedly a fool.

And she herself is actually such a fool.

Those who were killed by the weapons made by Aleister had nothing to do with her, nor did they know each other.

As long as you act as if you don't know, there won't be so many things, and it won't make her regretful.

……

"That's right, as you said, Leo, we are only doing this to escape our own incompetence." Fiers said.

"Let's forget it, Dr. Firth, you are the best scientist on this island!" As soon as Firth finished speaking, the rest of the scientists immediately refuted him.

"Although it makes me happy to say that, facts are facts," Fiers said.

"In the past ten years since I became the chief scientist, I have not achieved much. I just perfected the achievements of my predecessors."

The chief scientist of Aleister was appointed by the king and elected by all the people.

In this country named Aleister, the chief scientist even has power beyond the king to some extent.

But only true scientists, those who devote themselves wholeheartedly to scientific research, can get this title, careerists can't get it in their lifetime.

"How come? You..." An assistant wanted to refute Phils, but stopped in the middle of speaking.

After he thought about it carefully, it was indeed so.

For more than ten years, they have been perfecting the inventions of their predecessors, and there has been no breakthrough.

The only things that can be called 'new inventions' are those weapons.

"Hehe, I really don't know what kind of monster Vegapunk is. Just one person defeated all the scientists in our Aleister." Fiers smiled wryly.

Indeed, the decline of Aleister was precisely because of the sudden appearance of a rare genius scientist——Dr Vegapunk.

He easily broke Aleister's decades-long monopoly on science and technology.

Even now, he has surpassed the science and technology possessed by Aleister.

There is a rumor that Vegapunk has wisdom 500 years beyond the current human.

And Aleister is only about 300 years ahead of most countries in the world.

In this way, Vegapunk is 200 years ahead of Aleister.

And it was only him alone, Aleister had hundreds of scientists.

I believe that these scientists who regard scientific and technological research as life are really unwilling to believe and are very unwilling.

"There is an old saying in my country, if one person is no better than the other, then use the wisdom of three people to defeat him." Leo said.

This sentence is because he changed a common saying in his previous life. After all, he said it completely according to the original words. People in this world should not be able to understand it.

"That's right, if we give up easily, Aleister won't be able to maintain his current glory even if he is here!"

Fiers seemed to have figured something out, and said excitedly.

"That's right!"

"Dr. Firth was right!"

"With all my strength, I will definitely continue the glory of Aleister!"

What Phils said made this group of people who regard scientific research as important as life immediately boiled up.

Although they lost to Vegapunk, they did not intend to admit defeat, nor did they intend to give up.

"Thank you, Leo." Phils bowed to Leo.

"I didn't do anything, I just said a few words that should be said." Leo said.

"If you hadn't woken us up, maybe we would have been so depressed forever." Fiers said with a smile.

"Also... I'm sorry, little girl. Our group of useless adults not only failed your kindness, but also almost hurt you." Fiers looked at Misaka Mikoto, with a shameful expression on his face.

The props (item) were invited by them, although not Phils himself, but the radicals among these scientists.

But it was true that Misaka Mikoto was almost hurt. In addition, they deceived Misaka Mikoto before, which made this group of scientists extremely ashamed.

"sorry!"

A total of more than 50 people, no matter men, women or children, bowed and apologized to Misaka Mikoto.

This time, they really repented.

Perhaps by continuing to manufacture weapons through research, Aleister can continue to prosper.

But maybe one day, Aleister will be destroyed by the weapons he made.

After all, sometimes the greed of human beings makes even gods fearful.

"Can you guarantee that you will never make weapons and use them in war again?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"Ah, we assure you that we will never produce weapons again." A group of scientists headed by Phils assured Misaka Mikoto.

"Well, after all, everyone has been doing their best to contribute to Aleister..."

Although it is a bit extreme, the residents of Aleister can live such a rich life all the time, it is inseparable from the efforts of these scientists.

Although they went astray, Misaka Mikoto forgave them as long as they could mend their ways.

"It's not good to completely manufacture weapons. After all, this is an era where pirates are rampant." At this time, Leo said suddenly.

"As long as Aleister's defense is guaranteed, that's enough. One more thing to note is that the weapon design blueprint cannot be obtained by others."

"Well, what Leo said makes sense." Misaka Mikoto nodded in line with what he said.

And a group of scientists, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Phils together.

After all, he is still the chief scientist on the island.
