29. The evolutionary competition between machines and humans
The room finally quieted down, "I'll go out and collect the team first, and I'll see you at the castle later." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jax greeted and went out to dissolve the siege.
Ezreal was about to get up, "Wait!" Zelos called out, "Lord Sorakar wants me to tell you an ominous omen. Zelos looked at Kyle with a look of secrecy that could not be revealed, and the latter snorted coldly.
Ezreal said with a serious face: "She will protect me inseparably and is someone to be trusted." ”
Zelos lowered his voice and said, "Lord Soraka wants you to be careful of a woman with red nails and the poison she uses. ”
Red nails?Ezreal's mind searched around, and the delicate faces ruled out: not the eldest lady, because Caterina never wore makeup, let alone the leisure time to paint her nails, the second lady never left her makeup, and did use red nail polish, could it be her? The other hostile one was Evelyn, but it was purple.
Anything is possible, Ezreal secretly left a heartfelt eye, and thanked Zeroth, "Thank you for the reminder. "By the way, I've heard that the Ionians are descendants of the elves, and their ears are elongated, so women wear ear protectors, but why don't men?"
Zelos looked at Kyle again, and Kyle couldn't help but exclaim, "This is also a secret?
Zelos coughed in embarrassment and said, "Well, it's not a secret. But... Mistress Ezreal, are you sure you want to discuss the women of a country in front of a lady?"
Ezreal asked, confused, "What way?"
Zelos said helplessly: "Okay, the misunderstanding is not rude. The matter of wearing ear protectors is actually spread by people on the mainland. The magical physiognomy of the elves is characterized by the longer the ears, the higher the magical talent. When men are choosing a mate, they tend to choose a mate with long ears. This choice led to a low reproduction rate at one point. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the population, the Ionian government has been advocating for hundreds of years that women wear ear protection to combat unfair treatment. Over time, a woman's ear, it's no longer an ordinary part, it's now the same as a woman's breasts, and it can't be easily seen, you know..."
Ezreal nodded awkwardly.
After hearing this, Kyle touched his slender ears and exclaimed, "No wonder your eyes are strange from time to time!"
Zelos closed his eyes and said, "I'm so sorry, the customs are different in each place!"
Ezreal was silent, didn't speak, what was there to see in his ears...
Kyle covered his ears with his long hair and said, "Forget it." Until you can look at your ears with your usual gaze, I'll cover them with my hair. ”
Leaving the church, Ezreal and Kyle return to the castle together. Ezreal looks around, the sloping floors, the sloping towers, the classic style of the Noxian complex. When a person is leaving one city for another, he always has to take a few last looks. I don't know what kind of place Zaun is.
Kyle saw through what he was thinking and replied, "Zaun isn't a good place. It was poorer and more backward than Noxus, more polluted, and the air was filled with a pungent smell, unlike Noxus, which only felt stuffy during acid rains. Theft, smuggling, violence, etc., are worse than Noxus. You won't like that place. ”
Is there a lower limit than Noxus?Ezreal was a little incredulous, and whispered, "Isn't the actual ruler of Zaun the god in charge of wealth?"
Kyle looked at him nonchalantly: "The rise and fall of human beings may be a long period of time in the eyes of short-lived humans, maybe this country will be strong for five hundred years, maybe that country will be weak for five hundred years, but all this is just a casual short time in the eyes of the eternal gods." ”
This made Ezreal very uncomfortable.
Ezreal argues, "It cannot be ignored just because an individual's life is short. The major events of the human city-state will also affect the pattern of theocracy. ”
Kyle shook his head, "I'm talking about angles. In terms of the life expectancy in the coming years, some people born in the era of peace will mistakenly believe that peace is the main theme of human history. As everyone knows, this is an illusion generated by these lucky people. Looking at the great cycle of thousands of years, the time for human disputes is far greater than the time for reconciliation. We angels have fought in countless planes with Lord Light, and the humans in each plane are the same!"
Kyle also mentions Noxus' efforts to build a naval fleet, believing that this is the beginning of a strife, and that the best way to keep the peace for a long time is to strangle the slim in the first place. Ionia asked Noxus to build the navy, giving up the initiative for nothing. Uncontrolled peace often enters the countdown to war.
Back at the castle, Kyle and Morgana meet. "You mean sister, even my sister's man robbed you!" "You have been missing for hundreds of years as soon as you play, how can I find you if I don't catch him?!" The two sisters quarreled, but their bodies and hands and feet were very honest, and the joy of reunion after a long absence could not be suppressed, hugging each other tightly, in the end, blood is thicker than water.
A very warm reunion picture, ignoring the incongruous quarrels. As the two sisters confide in each other, Ezreal playfully exits the room and goes to find Caterina. After turning around the castle and seeing no one, Ezreal inquired about the officer on duty guarding the castle.
Officer: "The eldest lady went to the hospital. ”
"Tyrone?"
A male magician with some eyes stopped Ezreal. Exiting the church, Ezreal reverts back to his black hair, so much so that the people of the castle have to look at his magic badge to confirm his identity.
Ezreal hesitated, and the male mage reported to the door, "Ashgam, captain of the elite scarlet mage force. The eldest lady ordered me to wait for you here and take you to the hospital. When the time comes, we will escort Urgat to Zaun. ”
The Scarlet Elite melee warriors and ranged mages have been under the control of Urgat and Ashgamm, respectively. These two men were the senators who had followed General Durkkao for a long time. Ezreal remembered the man, said "hello", and shook Ashgam's hand. Ashgam asked the officer guarding the gate to prepare a carriage and talk on the way to the hospital.
Ashgam: "Urgat has been my comrade-in-arms for many years, and thank you for your generosity in helping him. The Duke Kao family is now in financial difficulty, and even the mechanical eye installed by the eldest lady can only be equipped with a fake eye, and the mechanical eye with real vision cannot afford it. I hope I will be able to get out of this predicament soon, if I can successfully complete the task. ”
Ezreal heard the magician's words, "Smooth finish?" Temptation asked, "You mean it might not go well?"
Ashgam whispered, "It's a conquest of the Bullhead Tribe." The top brass of Noxus is too cunning, and Urgart has become what it is now, and it was all caused by Svine! Capturing the prince of Demacia and not killing him but handing it over to the eldest lady is clearly a conspiracy! It's a pity that we were all fooled, and we were lost in the bounty at the beginning. ”
Ashgam looked resentful: "Svein, this cunning guy, this time he recommended the Scarlet Elite to conquer the Minotaur Tribe. ”
Ezreal feigned surprise and said, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
Ashgam: "I don't know..."
Ezreal can roughly understand this man, this person is not good at scheming, but only judging the current form from past preferences.
Ashgam whispered, "Before the general left, he mentioned you to Urgat and me! Unfortunately, Urgarte can't speak now, and I alone suggest that I will be taken as crazy. ”
Ezreal looked at the other man with a sharp gaze, "I don't want to hear this from any other source a second time, or I will kill that man." The rightful heir of the House of Duke Kao is Katarina, who was, is, and will be. ”
Ashgam was in a cold sweat: "I know..."
The time is not yet ripe to take over the Scarlet Elite. The Noxus hierarchy played Caterina around, and when the campaign failed, and the morale and doubts of the bloody elite were all over the place, Katerina's self-confidence would be shaken.
Ezreal sees a dying Urgart in the hospital. A hole opened in the heart, and a large opening opened the stomach, bursting all the internal organs inside, and the entire torn corpse was soaked in formalin solution, and tubes of various sizes connected to Urgat's head.
Is this called near-death? How does it look like a pile of corpses from the head down?
Ezreal: "Can anyone tell me if he's still alive?"
With a look of uncertainty as she handed over the right to the researchers, Stanrik, the chief professor of Zaun in a white coat. Stanrick pushed his glasses and said, "He's still alive, and he has a chance to come back to life without brain death." This is a landmark operation, and thank you for your financial support, Mr. Ezreal. ”
Calling out Ezreal indicates that Stanrick is aware of the plan of action. Ezreal was a little uncomfortable, after all, the most taboo thing about spies is that their identities are known by too many people, which means that the security level is decreasing.
Stanrick smiled slyly, "Don't worry, I'm the initiator of the whole plan. After you succeed, the army of Picheng will attack, and I will need to deploy the defenders to repel them. Seeing that Ezreal was still not reassured, he revealed another important message, "Kiran of Eltistan has asked me to convey to you that this trip to Zaun will be a part of your destiny. ”
Ezreal hurriedly asked, "Archmage Kieran, what else did he say?!"
Stanrick smiled slightly, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes digging into his eyes, making it harder and harder to trust him.
Stanrik: "Didn't say anything else. You can see that you trust Kieran and believe his divination. Young man, divination is vague, and believing in divination is not as good as believing in science. ”
Ezreal: "Do you have academic conflicts between you?" and what is the result? Do you win more in each competition, or do you win more?"
Stanrick's old face turned red and he shouted angrily: "It's a tie! When Urgart is cured, I will be the one who wins!"
Angry, angry is very close to the truth of the human heart, and Ezreal has a rough grasp of the relationship between Stanrick and Kieran.
Ezreal ignored the professor and said to Caterina, "Miss, Miss, Miss, I don't see her in the castle again, and I don't know what happened to ask her to contact Madame Juno." ”
Caterina sighed, "She's dating Karen Darkwell." Before her father disappeared, Karen's father, Burnham Darkwell, the general of Noxus, also disappeared. Along with the general, the general's escort team also disappeared, and a radius of dozens of kilometers from the scene suffered a devastating magical blow. It was widely believed that Demacia was retaliating, but Gavin III publicly stated that they were not responsible. ”
Caterina said disdainfully: "Demacia dares not admit it, if his father is still there, and his father inherits the position of general, Demacia would have been defeated a long time ago!"
Stanrick snickered.
Caterina said displeasedly, "What? The professor is laughing, could it be that the professor knows the secret?"
Ezreal secretly said in his heart, this professor controls the core technology of Zuan, and must be the executor of Zeus's plan, and he must also know about the pattern of divine power interfering in human beings behind Valoran. The Protoss wants to keep the human race in a state of chaos in order to limit the number of humans, and it is just a joke to defeat Demacia.
Stanrick shook his head and said, "No, no, Miss Katarina, it's not you who I'm laughing at, it's Mr. Ezreal who is laughing, you're asking the wrong person." I've never seen Miss Cassiopeia come to the Zaun embassy these days! ”
Caterina exclaimed, "What you said is true?" Stanrick nodded, and Caterina apologized to Ezreal, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to be so mistaken sister." ”
Ezreal shrugged: "Forget it, I've thought about this result, and I'm mentally prepared to accept it." ”
Stanrick smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you?"
Stanrick put forward the conditions. The professor wants to scan and decrypt the Death Blade's data in all directions, saying that it is for the good of Duke Kao's family. He said that after Urgart's resurrection, how could he be just a robot? Stanrick will make another magic sigil and equip Urgart.
Caterina heard that something was wrong and objected, "No! This means that Tyrone's data is completely known, what if you leak the secret here to the Demacian side?"
Stanrick was silent, looking at Ezreal.
Ezreal: "Okay, I promise you. This blade of death was meant to be attached to Urgat, if I hadn't shown it up. ”
Ezreal remembered that Urgart also threw knives, perhaps it was fate.
Stanrick succeeded in his treacherous plan and smiled, "You can't say that. Different magic sigils are different for different people. You used it to kill Stirac and Shuria, and I'm curious about your stats. His expression was solemn, "Don't hide it from me, I know, you have improved this set of skills, and the data of the power of thunder and lightning is the most important." ”
Out of the hospital, out of Noxus City. Stanrick led the two to an empty basement in the suburbs. Low in the center and high on all sides. With the center as a dot, surrounded by one iron plate after another, Stanrick explains that it is a sensor that deconstructs and analyzes.
Caterina pulled Ezreal's hand and said, "He was obviously premeditated! With such a big pomp and such a precise arrangement, we can't be fooled!"
Ezreal raised her hand and said, "Miss, what do you mean by us?" Caterina turned her face sideways, and Ezreal only saw that her cheeks were slightly red, "It's not interesting! You're my retainer, I'm thinking about you." Her grip on it gradually loosened, "Don't get me wrong!"
Ezreal descended the steps and said, "Oh, I see. When the hands were about to part, Ezreal tugged back into her palm and said, "Speaking of which, you are the head of the house, and I have no gift for you." "Close your eyes." ”
Caterina thought to herself, what is he going to do? There are so many shooting instruments here... The eldest lady faced so many cameras and closed her eyes in a panic.
Ezreal covered her left eye with her other hand, removed it, and placed it over Caterina's left eye. Caterina only felt a slight numbness in her left eye, and when she opened it again, her vision changed. The left is no longer a display, but a biological eye. The display has to adjust the focal length, which is a world of difference compared to the smoothness of the biological eye.
Ezreal: "Didn't you say that the mechanical eye was holding you back, and I transplanted this left eye to you, so that I could rest assured that I would go to Zuan." ”
Caterina was stunned, looked at the hole to Ezreal's left, and exclaimed, "And what are you going to do?"
Ezreal closed his left eye and used his powerful regenerative powers, and after a few moments, a regenerated left eye filled it.
Professor Stanrick applauded, "Wow! This is your talent for plant magic?" Statistically, the recovery speed is slower than Mondo's, but the accuracy has reached the realm of the gods. ”
The professor roared, completely ruining the atmosphere, and the two of them parted embarrassedly.
The professor told Ezreal to use the full set of Deathblade skills several times under a sophisticated scanner until the professor said to stop.
After collecting the data, Stanrick fulfilled his promise and took the two to meet Hera. As soon as the group left, a robotic covered in metal appeared in the basement.
"Lord Victor?" Stanrich's assistant recognized him.
Victor's speakers emit a muffled sound that is magnetic and not emotionless like a robot.
Victor: "I can't wait, I'm going to see the data right away." Driving away the assistant, Victor went to the computer on the console, and with both hands on the keyboard, and a third hand behind his back turned into a USB flash drive socket to connect to the computer. The speaker exclaimed, "It's incredible." A human being can master the power of thunder and lightning of such intensity, this kid seems to have some reservations. According to computer calculations, the upper limit of its voltage amplitude is much more than that. ”
Victor's mechanical eyes flashed with red lights, indicating that he was very excited at this time: "No, maybe it's because of the fragile heart of human beings, so it doesn't exert the upper limit of voltage and sound waves. The last time we captured a berserker in Freljord, he went completely crazy after his heart reached its limit. Hmph, only by abandoning this fragile skin bag and taking a mechanical posture can we evolve towards the realm of God. ”
Armed with the data, Victor began to try out the skill. "Death Ray!" the third hand guides the lightning to cut the ground, and the third hand directs a wave of sonic energy with a special frequency that weakens the enemy but strengthens Victor himself.
Victor was quite satisfied with the first two moves, but not satisfied with the third move. According to the concept, after the "gravitational field" move is deployed, there will be sound wave energy that successfully pulls the peripheral target to the center. However, sound waves are the flow of air pressure, and when gravity presses vertically on the medium of sound propagation, the sound waves pulled horizontally will be weakened and less forceful.
One hour later, Victor's iron fist slammed into the desk, smashing a pit in the iron plate, "Damn! I need more reinforced materials. If I had Hextech material, I could use it to create a singularity of electricity and sound waves that would wipe out every target. ”
At this time, Victor didn't have a big move, so he could only use a computer to simulate the power of a lightning storm after the singularity was generated. Victor swore in his heart, "Wait, my Victor's thunder and lightning power will be the first in Valoran!" Victor will not allow others to surpass him in this regard.
The step of abandoning his body and becoming a robot means a lot to Victor. Like Clockwork and Steam Robots, they are emotionally dull, while Victor is not. Victor was protected by Hera's divine powers, and his emotions were preserved under this cold steel husk. Hera was the same as her mother in Victor's heart, and she would never be disappointed.
