When you treat human beings as tools, 'tools' will not hesitate to betray you if they have a chance, and if you treat smart tools as human beings, maybe one day, it will really become your kind. - The folk saying between the orc rebellion and the early stage of the spirit blade, it is impossible to know who said it.

On many levels, the development of spirit weapons and spirit races to the current scale has even become the inseparable core of human society, which no one can predict.

"In the beginning, we just wanted to create a tool that could not be betrayed."

One of the "Seven Sages of Forging Blades" of the Spirit Blade System, the star elder, the famous words he left behind now seem quite politically incorrect.

But in the context of which historical era, it is indeed a matter of course.

The Iron Man Rebellion and the Subhuman (Orc) Rebellion, the two tragic lessons before and after, were greater than the losses of foreign wars, and almost directly cut off the foundation of civilization, which made many people feel that the future of mankind ended here.

At that time, traitors and the Pathfinders were everywhere, and the pathfinders who still stood firm were lost in the night, but even among those who stood out, the vast majority still had negative expectations for the future.

In this case, the first thing that the spirit blade born is actually safe and reliable, and it is inseparable from the constraints of human beings in actual operation.

As a sage said, as a sage said, as a completely man-made object, they were positioned as tools from the beginning.

Without the psionic energy supplied by the sword master of humans (since modern times, spirits, subhumans, and inhumans can be), the growth of the spirit blade is locked.

And if they reach the stage of self-consciousness awakening, they have in a sense become psionic organs that can coexist with the sword master and provide him with a second spiritual energy.

In other words, the simple spirit blade is a parasitic creature, and they must rely on the spiritual energy of the sword master to live, but the spirit race has become a symbiotic organ, and everyone together constitutes an "individual", an "independent creature" with a complete life force field.

The Spirit Race is born with a shortage of spiritual energy, and that spiritual energy lacks growth factors, in the spirit race's words, the spirit race's self-produced spiritual energy is even more inferior than the spirit crystal.

The probability of giving birth to a new spirit race purely by the spirit race itself is much lower than that of the human sword master, and the possibility of tool production tools like "iron man" and finally cluster betrayal is eliminated from the root.

I have to admit that in terms of restricting the Spirit Race to prevent betrayal, the predecessors have done a thorough enough job.

"Direct physical evolution is too dangerous, so we use spiritual energy through the evolution of spirit blades (tools), and bind these spirit blades with symbiosis, even if there is a problem, we can ......."

The original design idea was so utilitarian and shameless...... But looking back, there is some sadness, like a victim delusion who is full of pain.

Fortunately, the human race, which has experienced two great betrayals, finally knows that the conscious tool is still regarded as a tool, and it is probably waiting for the day of betrayal........ In the law, they stipulate that the spirits and humans are treated equally.

Perhaps, some people want to say something about "stupid political correctness", but in fact, this is this pedantic political correctness, which has allowed the human society dominated by the spirit blade to continue to this day.

No betrayal and rebellion? Well, how is it possible, there has always been, but the scale has never reached the point where it can shake the foundation of social stability.

The spirit race, like humans, as long as they can live their own small lives in peace and form a happy little family with their relatives, why should they give up all the blind tossing.

In fact, those spirit clans who tossed under various banners, traced after the fact, most of them lost everything due to various misfortunes and accidents, and then hoped to paint their misfortunes all over the world....... It is no different from those human criminals, and it can even be used as proof that the spirit race is also a human being.

The big city system, which is almost divided by mankind now, has also created a strange social atmosphere and humanistic philosophy, which is very tossed in some places, and never tossed in some places.

The Constraints of the Four Spirits? Well, there are actually ways to bypass it, but it requires some special methods, so I won't expand on it for the time being.

Not to mention the betrayal of the Spirit Clan, there are both liberalized and alien sword masters, and it is not one or two that are independent....... But the pressure of foreign races makes the general situation acceptable.

The magic sword is actually a kind of backlash against this kind of restriction method.

"You cut off the sword master's psionic supply? Okay, I'll take it myself, and I can directly even ask for all the soul and spiritual energy, and the body can become a vassal of the sword. ”

The bloodthirsty magic sword is actually an ordinary spirit race that has broken free from the limiter, and people often say that every spirit weapon has the potential to become a magic sword, and more importantly, every spirit weapon may compete for the limiter, especially the one that has no master from the beginning, and the master is weaker than the sword.

Zheng Li privately reminded the rabbit several times that if she didn't catch it up, something would likely happen..... When the Moon Jumping Boots first evolved, they evolved the bloodletting blade under the boot, the metal head at the tip of the boot, and also had an active attack ability that was not too weak, and the bloodthirsty nature was undoubtedly displayed.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Sword will actively seek out food for evolution, and if the sword master is not satisfied or tough enough, it is only a matter of time before something happens.

But from another perspective, the actual combat, biological ability, and evolution level of the Moon Jumping Boots have all reached the standard of the two suddenness, and it is a blessing to control it, but it is impossible to control it.......

Cough, to get back to the point, Lin Yuying is a standard magic blade, she actually lacks the nourishment of spiritual energy from a normal source, and now once she obtains enough resources, the originally closed path will all be opened.

"Pure Blade Route? That's a good thing. ”

The third path sounds very ordinary, but Zheng Li is just as moved.

Comprehensively strengthening the existing ability is the foundation, but Lin Yuying mentioned that the main foundation of evolution is Zheng Li's time-based spiritual energy, and a certain amount of time-based materials will be needed later.

"If you are expecting, you can speed up the accumulation of power slashes. At the same time, the 'Slash' attribute is strengthened, and it may have a medium-range slash ability similar to the air slash, and if it is smoothest, it can vaguely cut the space....... I can't vouch for it, but it's possible. ”

Lin Yuying wanted to speak, this is undoubtedly the most expensive option, and the time and materials are expensive to death.

Forget about the extreme rarity, the time whale race itself is too weak, and the rare time monsters have never heard of easy to deal with.

Others are worried that the material is too weak to carry high evolution, and the time system has no chance of finding the target monster...... If you are lucky to find it, it is more practical to think about how to escape first.

But shorten the charging time of the energy storage slash? Also increased slash distance? It also means that the preparation time will be greatly shortened in actual combat, and the improvement will be very obvious.

"No problem, I'm prepared for this. The material of the time system. Hehe, I get a headache with other types of high-grade materials, this one really doesn't. ”

Zheng Li smiled, he really didn't comfort Lin Yuying, considering his ability characteristics and the needs of Mengling's dual swords, he was really prepared.

"The fourth? I guess the last thing you want to say, right? ”

"Well, the fourth, as opposed to the third, will greatly increase the time it takes to store energy."

Well, needless to say, Zheng Li can understand, it seems that not only do you have to eat time materials, but you also have to eat a lot.

There is an upper limit to the accumulation of psionic abilities, and raising the upper limit is nothing more than adding an organ with energy storage, and with the characteristic psionic energy and the corresponding materials, Zheng Li's time ability raises the upper limit of Lin Yuying's ability, and also greatly increases the consumption.

Augmentation? Zheng Li knew that this was strengthening Lin Yuying's essence and roots, and he was afraid that there were more ingredients to eat than the other three combined.

"The power of the charged slash ......"

"It's weird, I can feel that if it was the previous charge time, the power would be reduced, but if it was charged for a longer time...... I can't say for sure how strong it is, but it feels like the ceiling will be high, very high. And the attack range, which seems to be limited to the blade body, is shorter than before. ”

Lin Yuying was a little hesitant, this was obviously the evolution of the negative state, but she instinctively felt that this was the strongest evolution direction.

"Attack range is shortened, charge time is increased....... Uh, has it become a knife stream completely. Yes, it feels like it's right for you. ”

Zheng Li nodded, closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was breathing evenly and trembling from time to time, Lin Yuying would have thought he was asleep.

"With the fourth type as the main axis and the first three added to it, what is your personal order?"

Suddenly, Zheng Li spoke again, but his dry voice was full of exhaustion, and he used his ability to the limit.

"You mean...... It's all right?! Can evolutionary paths be both? ”

"Of course you can, there are a lot of black boxes for Spirit Blade Learning, and I don't know if I don't try. Oh, that's my strongest app. Why do you think I let the two spirit blades awaken into the spirit clan so quickly, and use the three spirit energy to speed up my growth...... Well, it's four now. ”

In fact, this is the strongest application of the timeline observation ability, all of Zheng Li's spirit blades are actually a "part" of him, and using the ability to observe himself is always the lowest consumption, and he can see quite far.

"Actually, I think this is the root of this form of timeline observation, that guy understands it very well, and being strong is the key....... Let me choose, if the goal is simply to kill gods, I will choose the ability to 'observe the where, when, and afterlife state of the gods', then just hand over the information to people backwards, how simple it is. ”

It's not easy at all, is it...... But Lin Yuying thought about it for a while, and she must admit that this kind of targeted ability will definitely consume less, and maybe it can become a special killing weapon against gods before it is fully grown.

But the choice of this troublesome general way is limited by psionics...... In the final analysis, "he" still expects his future self to have the power to choose the future.

"Before, I would make a few plans, repeatedly test 'use the A/B formula, the possibility of Qiqi awakening himself after the second sudden', and finally, come up with the formula with the highest probability, and then use the ability to actually operate."

"It's the same with Firefly, I don't have the resources to give her Ertu at all, I have to let her suddenly awaken to help me do things, and come up with the fastest awakening formula instead of the most potential ....... Looking back now, I'm a little sorry for her, and pulling out the seedlings helped me a little. Thankfully, there is a chance to make amends. ”

Zheng Li became more and more tired, even if Lin Yuying was his own spirit blade, but what he deduced just now, the causal level involved was too high, and the consumption was still amazing.

The specific formula can only be deduced later, and what is inferred now is only a general direction.

Of course, Zheng Li's ability determines that he not only wants to choose a direction, but also intends to "take as much as he can".

But before the concurrent cultivation, there is still a need for a major direction, a general direction of evolution.

Now, the main plan has been finalized, everything is easy to say, and you can start to work.

"What I just deduced is which direction is the main axis, and you have a higher chance of getting the Eight Bursts. That means you still have a chance to continue evolving. ”

"The first direction is 100%, but the consumption is low, and it doesn't feel right. I tried it again, and the result was that you would be on the path of the Elemental Blade. Evolution will continue, but the abilities obtained are weak, and spinning at the lower levels can only become the puzzle pieces of mythical creatures. ”

Zheng Li hesitated, this path is obviously the wrong path of evolution, evolving back and forth at a low level is commonly known as "false protrusion", which may be useful at a lower level, but if you look farther, it is a meaningless waste of resources.

In the subsequent deduction, he added the prefix "Eight Sudden Evolutionary Higher-Level", and the consumption increased significantly again.

"The second direction strengthens the blade body by 13%, which is in line with the evolutionary characteristics. I won't expand it, so let's give up on such a low possibility. This also seems to be a misguided path. ”

"The third direction is the actual combat of the blade. The re-evolution rate is 34%. It's pretty good, and if we're careful along the way, we should get eight breakaways. ”

"The fourth direction is what I helped you determine. 61% chance of eight bursts, how can you refuse. Strengthening your ability traits is also the source of supplementing you, so let's be more expensive, and we'll just accumulate materials together. ”

Zheng Li smiled, by this time, his spiritual energy had already been used up, even if he had 4 times the recovery speed, he would need to wait until tomorrow to continue the deduction...... That's only time to take your time.

"My ability allows you to juggle other paths a little. When I recover, we will deduce the four routes as the main axis, and make up for the best effect of those two routes, what is the proportion of them, rest assured, spend more time, I will definitely help you choose the best future......"

The rest of the words could not be continued, the soft embrace, the strange and comfortable touch, suddenly made Zheng Li, who was naked/naked, stiff all over.

With a slight touch on her cheek, the woman left with a flushed shyness, only the chuckling ringing left in the room.

"Not my future....... Thank you, my little master, for working hard for the future of 'our'. I will also work hard, I want you to be glorified for me and happy because of me. ”

Well, this pestering little goblin, subconsciously touched the part of his cheek that the red lips touched, and the young Zheng Li fell into silence.

"Dad, you're gone, you can't grind it anyway. How can a dark dead otaku resist the temptation of a gentle big sister. ”

"Get out, you don't know you took Lin Yuying's money."

“...... No! This is slander, I received Sister Shiyu's money! ”

"You really took it!"
