"Seriously, Master, I don't really understand your thinking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After listening to Jiang Liu'er's explanation of the "steam engine", Sun Lingxiu glanced at him with strange eyes.

Then, she sighed very deeply: "You, and the rat king, are always thinking about messy things all day long...... What coal, what steam engine, is there any use for these things? By the way, and what kind of goggles you invented earlier, you tell me, what's the use? ”

The girl finally couldn't help but ask such a question.

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time, when Master made the stupid goggles.

Well, in her opinion, this is a waste of life's time.

What kind of world is this? It's a world full of gods and monsters!

So what is the "steam engine" used for? Oh, mining pumps, when "ships" are "trains".

So, in this world, this kind of thing-

To the end, there is, what, what, use, ah?

You say mining needs to be pumped? Something that can be done with a spell.

You said you want to drive a train or a ship? A spell can travel thousands of miles in an instant.

You say this kind of thing can make people's lives more convenient and better?

Don't be stupid, in the human world, the development of small peasant economies has been thousands of years, and people are still living well?

So, what's the use of this kind of thing?

“……”

Looking at Lingxiu's disdainful eyes, Jiang Liu'er was silent.

For this apprentice, he couldn't explain the meaning of this, and he couldn't explain it.

Because Lingxiu's statement is actually right, she is not wrong, and what she said is very reasonable-

If you look at it from the perspective of her "monster".

After all, this is not an ordinary "historical world", but a "world of gods and demons".

There are phenomena everywhere that are incomprehensible to modern human beings, what demons, monsters, and spells are everywhere, and if you use a spell at will, you can call for wind and rain, and change endlessly, and this situation will bring certain consequences.

Whether it is a human or a monster, all their lives will yearn for the so-called ethereal "seeking the Tao" and "seeking demons".

No one is going to develop new ideas, no one is going to discover or invent new things.

Because with just one spell, everything can go well, and all wishes come true.

So, who will invent the "steam engine" again?

No one anymore! No one anymore!

So, even if the "steam engine" is invented, what use will it be for the gods and monsters? What's the use of it?

It's useless! No more use!

The only people who are really useful are those who have no supernatural powers! And most of the goblins who can't spell!

"Mel, what an amazing fellow." Jiang Liu'er didn't know what to say, he remembered the look of this friend in front of his subjects during the day, and couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps, he is really not suitable to be a politician, he is more suitable to be a scientist and inventor." ”

"Master, I'm sleepy, let's go back."

Lingxiu couldn't understand what the master was talking about, she was just bored at this time.

Once the curiosity is gone, the only thing left is boredom.

"It's fine." Jiang Liu'er nodded.

There is no need to go to the rest of the room, and the leopard in the tube is estimated to be the same thing.

In this way, the two closed the door of the room where they came and went back to their rooms.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Jiang Liu'er came to Mel's study.

It was the room where he first came to see the two big demons standing, and he basically stayed there on weekdays.

Jiang Liu'er knocked on the door and heard movement inside, so she opened the door and walked in.

I saw Mel sitting at his desk, holding a scroll in his hand, and reading something.

Take a closer look, the "rat eyes and feet" he wore on the bridge of his nose, the spirit stone lenses on it seem to have thickened a lot, it seems that his myopic eyes are heavier than before, and the "rat eyes and feet" are about to become "rat eyes and rulers".

"Jiang Liu'er, you came just in time." Seeing Jiang Liu'er walking in, Mel smiled reluctantly, he could see that his eyes were red, there were dark circles around him, and he didn't seem to have fallen asleep all night, "Come and help me take a look at my new law, I've made the policy on rats a little more lenient." ”

Jiang Liu'er walked over and took the scroll in his hand.

After reading it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Mel, you still haven't understood?" What your subjects want is to completely exterminate rats, not this kind of laws and regulations that want to cover up, this is no longer just a contradiction between cats and mice, but a contradiction between all monsters and mice. ”

"Really?"

Mel sighed, lowered his head, took off his mouse's eyes, and rubbed his eyes.

"Don't rub it, the more you rub it, the redder it gets." Jiang Liu'er reminded him, "If you continue like this, your eyes should be operated on." ”

"Uh...... All right. The Rat King smiled, took the white cloth on the side, and wiped the eyes of the rat that he had taken off.

"I'm strange, you're already a demon king." Seeing this, Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but ask, "It stands to reason that you monsters no longer have any physical symptoms, and after you transform into shapes, you should also completely solve the problem of mice with myopia, why do you still wear glasses...... What about the rats? ”

Mel glanced at him, "Do you want to know?" ”

"I want to know." Jiang Liu'er said with great certainty.

"Oh, I'll tell you."

The Rat King sat up straight and put the Rat Eye back on the bridge of his nose.

"I told you before that I was a rat who stole lamp oil at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, right?"

"Actually, I didn't tell the whole truth about that...... I'm not a wild rat, I'm a master. ”

"My master is Lingji Bodhisattva, and I didn't steal the lamp oil, but he gave it to me, so that I could be enlightened and informed, so as to get rid of the status of a mouse. The Samadhi kamikaze was also taught to me by him. ”

"In the beginning, I was grateful to him because he had a mouse."

"What is a mouse? The species that is shouted and killed when they go out is a representative of stealing. ”

"In Buddhism, Manjushri raised a blue-haired lion, and Puxian Bodhisattva raised a white elephant, both of which are extremely noble species."

"Only Lingji Bodhisattva, he raised a mouse."

"To thank him, and to remind myself that I'm a mouse, I deliberately retained some of the characteristics of the race when I transfigured—I didn't change these eyes, and I also kept two pairs of front teeth."

"I think Lingji Bodhisattva is advocating the equality of species by doing this, and I am very happy."

"But as it turned out, I was wrong."

"There can be no real equality between owners and pets."

"Just like between gods and monsters, there can be no real equality."

"There can be no real equality between species, even between rats."

"So, one day, I finally left Lingshan."

"I didn't want to be a pet anymore, so I left, and I wanted to find a place where there was a real 'equality.'"
