Except for Chita, who was carried away by the thieves to have his wounds treated, everyone including Yue Chuo was thrown into the dungeon, which was only illuminated by a dim oil lamp.
Looking at Ezio and Edward who were still sleeping, Yue Ling showed a wry smile. They should have been very powerful in combat. Under the circumstances at that time, if they were awake, they might not be able to reverse the situation. But Beast Heart
After careful consideration, they put drugs in their food so that at the most critical moment, they were completely unable to function.
But then I thought about it, even if these two idiots were sober at the time, without anyone's instructions, they would probably just be stunned and unable to do anything. And judging from Yue·Chuo's demeanor at that time, it was obvious that he was trying to save his own life.
These "family members" had no intention of breaking out and escaping.
When he first passed through the huge wooden door covered with rusty nails on the castle wall, Yue Chuo felt as if he had entered a beast hall. In the open square in front of the castle, there were many ferocious-looking dragon beasts wandering there. The castle
Although there are people everywhere and it seems very lively, except for the walls, many places are damaged and decayed, and weeds are growing everywhere, giving people an unusually desolate contrast.
Several people were stuffed into a narrow cell together and exchanged the information they had so far. What Yue Chuo was most worried about at the moment was not the family members in the prison, but the orc named Chita.
I don't know what kind of method Beast Heart will use to treat him.
After they had almost finished saying what they could find to each other, everyone lost the mood to continue talking. The girls hugged each other and sat in silence. No one knew how this newly established holy clan would continue to go in the future.
.Maybe it’s about whether there is a future.
A faint fragrance wafted over, and Yue Chuo found that everyone was drowsy and couldn't open their eyelids, but he remained awake.
"Hey, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
But no matter how he called or shook everyone's bodies, they still fell asleep. Just when he was wondering if it was Beast Heart who was planning something else, a figure appeared in front of the two-finger-thick iron bars of the cell door.
"Stop screaming. I cast a sleeping spell on them. They will continue to sleep unless I remove it."
The man was short, stooped, and wrapped in a dirty cloak. The hood was low on his head, hiding his face in the shadows. His voice was old and rich, but there was no tone in his tone.
The feeling of an elder seems very approachable.
"Why did you do this?" Yue Chuo asked still vigilantly, "Did Beast Heart want you to kill us? Don't forget, I am an important bargaining chip for him to retreat from the Solde Holy Law Watch Group without losing a single soldier.
.”
"Beast heart? Ah, you are talking about the leader of thieves." The old man said and walked in through the cell door, like a ghost without substance. "That kind of small character, thinking that all his tricks are exhausted, will be gone in the end."
It’s just an insignificant chess piece in someone else’s hands.”
As he spoke, the old man opened his hood and at the same time pulled off his cloak and threw it aside, revealing a robe that was glowing silver inside and not stained by a trace of dust.
"There are so many spacious cells, but he squeezed you into this one. It's not that he deliberately wanted to abuse you." The old man straightened up. Although he was still short, he looked much tougher. "The door of this cell
, is the only prison cell forged with Dragon Heart Lock magic steel. You have so many people who are capable of magic, so I would do the same thing. However, this door can block other people, but it is of no use to me."
Yue Chuo stared at the old man without hesitation. At this time, the other man was looking at the sleeping girls curiously. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. He felt that the other man's face was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
.And the most important thing is that the other party gave me an extremely cordial feeling. What is going on?
"Are you the old man Ezio and Edward talked about?" Yue Chuo suddenly remembered, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"
"Well, it can be said that if there must be a title, you can call me old friend." The old man said casually, "But as for more details, you still don't know. I will tell you what I need to say,
As for what you can’t tell, it’s useless no matter how much you ask.”
As the old man spoke, he sat on the floor next to Yue Chuo, slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from under his robe, handed it to Yue Chuo, and lit it for him. Then he took out a bottle of cellar wine and unscrewed the lid.
He took a sip first and then handed it to Yue Chuo's hand.
"This..., these are things from the earth." Yue Chuo exclaimed, "You are from the earth, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have such a thing."
"This is something that cannot be said, so you should give up." The old man shrugged, "Besides, how do you know I didn't peek at the memory in your mind and then use alchemy to copy it! People in this world
The only achievement in magic is alchemy, the most effective replicating magic."
"Really?" Yue Chuo took a sip of wine, and it was indeed the familiar taste. "I also heard that orcs are the product of alchemy."
"Yes." The old man nodded. "In order to mine wealth in a difficult environment, slaves are produced by fusing beasts with humans. You are not wrong in wanting to liberate the beasts, but it seems that you have not faced the essence of this matter."
"Is that so? Do you think there's something I didn't see?"
"Hey, old friend, calm down your anxious mind and think carefully about everything you have learned, heard, and seen on earth so far." The old man said calmly, "Human beings on earth
, don’t you also want to use technology to create artificial intelligence to improve your own life? In a sense, such a goal is also to produce a kind of lifeless slave.”
"How is this the same?" Yue Chuo said frankly, "You also know that artificial intelligence is lifeless, but orcs are. In the world, they will also suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, and they will also have emotions and desires. When they are happy, they will know how to laugh.
When they are in pain and sad, they also shed tears."
"What you see is the result, not the original intention." The old man shook his head and said, "When I first started thinking about using alchemy to create orcs, people at that time probably only had a beautiful purpose. But they didn't know that they
This kind of tool created has a soul. You have watched many science fiction movies and novels. Isn’t there a setting where artificial intelligence can produce emotions in the fantasies of humans on earth?”
"this……"
Yue Chuo was left speechless. Indeed, he had watched a lot of things in this area. The one that impressed me the most was "Robo Butler" starring Robin Williams. The robot in the film not only transformed itself into a
Human beings are no different. Later, he applied for a law to allow him to marry a human being. Finally, he experienced eternal death like a human being.
"But the main purpose of my coming to see you is not to discuss with you whether orcs should be liberated." The old man continued, "Use your own soul to guide your direction. There is nothing to stop me. But there are thorns on the road ahead.
, if you don’t protect yourself under the conditions that are most beneficial to you, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.”
