Merlin guessed that His Majesty the generous Doom must have asked for something, but he didn't guess that Doom's request was actually this.

He took the initiative to ask for the creation of a smart industrial park in Latvia.

After the outbreak of the Eichenwald incident, other countries have been vigilant about the smart industrial park, but Doom did the opposite, and I have to say that he did pick a good time.

Merlin is confident that as long as he escalates the matter to the World Security Council, then Pierce will not hesitate too long and will approve the project.

Although it is only a small industrial park, it is enough to set an example in the current impasse of the intelligent machine plan.

And thinking about it from another perspective, in fact, it is reasonable for His Majesty Doom to make this request.

For a country to develop, human resources are the top priority, and it can be said that it is the foundation of all development, but Latvia has only over 500,000 people, and the number of its citizens is simply not enough to support His Majesty's future plans for his country.

He was in dire need of human resources, and in this era, he could not use this as an excuse to wage war against his neighbors, so His Majesty Doom had to find another way.

And for the construction and production work, is there a better option than a smart robot?

Unless Doom is willing to open the door to hell or another world on his own land, and enslave those low-level demons or strange creatures to build his own country, then the machine is his best choice, and there is no one.

"Aren't you worried about a repeat of the events in the Eichenwald Industrial Park on your soil?"

Merlin picked up a teardrop-shaped magic gem and played with it in his hand, and he said to Doom:

"Aren't you worried that your subjects will panic like the outside world because of the appearance of the sapient machines?"

"No, I'm not worried at all."

Doom Says:

"There is no one in my land who is as ambitious and unwilling to be lonely as Mandarin. And my will, the will of the Latvian people, I said yes, then it can..."

Merlin looked into Doom's eyes, and after a few seconds, he nodded, and said seriously:

"Okay, I'll help you apply, if it goes well, after a while, there will be engineers from the Onica Group who will enter Latvia to select a site and start construction, and I'm sure your ministers will handle these things."

"Hmm."

Doom nodded, he came back to his senses, and with the beating of the green cloak, he walked to the creature pod, took off his iron gloves, and held out his fingers.

The glass in front of him didn't block him, as if it didn't exist, and Doom stroked Susan's hair, tucking the long blonde hair behind Susan's ear, and he looked at the girl in front of him.

There is tenderness in his eyes.

After a few moments, he withdrew his hand and was about to turn away.

"Wait."

Merlin's voice sounded behind Doom, and His Majesty's footsteps paused as he looked back at Merlin with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I've heard that something unfortunate happened to your mother, and her soul fell into Mephistopheles?"

"Yes."

Doom did not choose to hide it, saying:

"My father, a doctor in Latvia, was summoned by the king when I was a child to see him, a cruel ruler, but he was terminally ill... My father, knowing full well that he could not cure the king, fled Latvia with me, but not everyone was lucky. ”

"After my father's death, my mother lived in pain every day, she was a witch, but she could not stand up to the king's guards, so she made a regrettable choice driven by anger and hatred."

Doom shook his head:

"The devil deceived her and took her soul, but did not accomplish the vengeance she prayed for."

"It was a choice my mother made, a wrong choice, but she was my mother after all, she took me in and raised me, so there were some things I had to do."

"But I guess you're not just curious about my past when you ask this question, Lord Merlin, you also have the power left by the super-level demons in you, and I guess there are some irreconcilable 'festivals' between you and those hellish creatures, right?"

"Yes."

Merlin was also very frank, saying:

"Me and some of my companions, we're planning something to protect ourselves. But it's inevitable that you'll have conflicts with the old men in hell, so I mean, if you're destined to offend them, why not take the opportunity to make friends? ”

"Friend... And it's friends with an agent. ”

Doom turned, his eyes under the iron mask fixed on Merlin, and he said:

"Then I'll have to ask in advance, what kind of friend?"

"The kind that was thrown out to block the knife in a critical moment? Or was it the kind that was intended to be cannon fodder in the first place? Or is it the kind of work together, working for the same goal, until death? ”

"Neither."

Merlin replied earnestly:

"It's the kind of friend who has a common enemy, bound together by interests. I think we can help each other, at least in this matter, don't you think? ”

"Hmm..."

Doom stretched out his hand and put it on his chin, he thought for a moment, and he said:

"It's worth considering, but if it's just words, and no action, it won't make me make up my mind."

"You'll see action."

Merlin Says:

"I'm also looking forward to having a genius of magic and technology by our side when we meet Mephistopheles. After all, when it comes to dealing with such a thing as a demon lord, the more people there are, the better. ”

"Who are you?"

Doom seemed to be more interested, asking:

"Can you tell us about it?"

"Me."

Merlin pointed to himself:

"The 'son' of the third house, and Satan's unreassuring children, the adopted daughter of Belakos, the queen of the borders of hell, oh, by the way, Mr. Belakos has been killed by his own adopted daughter, several years ago."

"Finally, there's the Courier, a member of the Helloverseer, and the restless guy bent on betrayal."

Merlin spread out his hands, and he said:

"So much so far."

"It's a lot of ingredients."

Doom chuckled a little, and he said:

"Well, I'll think about it, and I'll give you an answer if necessary. If I'm going to hell, then maybe it will go better with you sons of hell as your guides. Do you have any tokens of interconnection? ”

"Well, not yet."

Merlin shook his head with some regret, he took something out of his pocket, and said to Doom:

"But I have a great idea... Maybe you can help me with it. ”

Dum looked at the sparkling rings in Merlin's hand and said:

"Mandarin's ring? Are you going to make them into your tokens? What an idea! It's generous enough, but the problem is that if you take them apart, this priceless magical artifact will be destroyed, and its grade will be severely reduced..."

"That's why I'm asking you for help, Your Majesty Doom."

Merlin blinked, and he said:

"I have a lot of friends with wonderful ideas, but unfortunately, most of them are good at technology rather than magic, and it is rare to meet a master with a high level of magical attainment, so it is natural to seize this opportunity."

"I can't think of a perfect way to complete the transformation of it without destroying its grade, but I'm sure you'll be able to surprise me if it's Lord Doom."

"Gross..."

Icarus couldn't even listen to this sycophant, and she made a strange noise, and then voluntarily turned off her sensory system.

"You're exalting me too much."

Doom chuckled and held out his finger as he took a ring from Merlin's hand.

When his finger touched the ring, a flame ignited on the ring, it was no ordinary flame, but it couldn't hurt Doom's finger at all.

The wizarding king of Latvia put the ring in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after a moment he said to Merlin:

"I need some time, I haven't seen anything more about this thing's magical system, it's most likely not a product of the Earth, I'm going to take one with me as an experiment."

"Then pick one."

Merlin placed the ring in front of him, like a merchant at a great sale, and Doom looked at it, and finally chose a silver ring with purple circles and gemstones, and he held the ring in his hand, and said:

"The ability to reorganize and reshape matter can be very useful when doing experiments."

"That's fine."

Merlin put away the other nine rings, and he said to Doom:

"I'll be looking forward to your good news, and besides, would you like me to tell Ms. Susan about your help?"

"Nope."

As Doom stood where he came, several energy rings on his armor were activated, and the anti-gravity generated by the armor propelled Doom to hover in mid-air, and he said to Merlin:

"No, I don't."

With a cold word, Doom flew out of the laboratory window, quickly disappearing from Merlin's vision.

He watched Doom disappear, and he said:

"Another guy who represses his feelings. I sometimes really don't understand why the more powerful people are, the more they like to hide their true feelings. ”

"That's a good question."

Icarus, who didn't know when he secretly opened the sensory system again, suddenly complained:

"Maybe you should ask yourself, oh no, you're not hiding your feelings, you're too abusive."

"Icarus..."

Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and he said:

"If you continue to speak like this, I swear, one day I'll throw you to little Peter as a toy, and now is the time for the kid to tear things apart."

"The threat of weakness."

Icarus said in a cold voice:

"My frame is made of vibranium, Merlin, and I don't think little Peter can take it apart. Also, did you notice Doom's armor? ”

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded, and he said:

"That's a magical energy-powered tech armor, and it looks like our Tony. Stark wasn't the first to develop combat armor. ”

"Doom's armor, in terms of functionality, may not be as comprehensive as the Super Mark, but I can be sure that in terms of defense and magic channeling, it must be better than the Super Mark."

"However, the most important thing for Super Mark is not the armor itself, but the Ark reactor technology, so it's not easy to compare which one is more powerful, Doom or Tony."

Merlin pursed his lips and said:

"But in terms of overall strength, it is definitely Doom who is superior, but he is the king of a country, which makes it difficult to guess his mode of action. Don't look at how easy-going he was just now, I'm sure that once I have a conflict of interest with him, he will definitely not show mercy when he strikes. ”

"The Latvian Nexus?"

Icarus asked:

"Do you want to build it again?"

"Build!"

Merlin Says:

"Why not build it? Everything is one yard, and the establishment of a tele center in Latvia is not a bad thing. ”

"There is also a lightly polluted area of tinder energy in Eastern Europe, and the establishment of an industrial zone in Latvia can put some pressure on Russia, and if they are still going to bargain in the planning of the smart machine plan, they can simply abolish the Voskaya industrial zone and build small smart machine centers in other countries, which can also achieve the same effect."

"As for Doom, this guy is obviously very difficult to handle, but he also has needs... As long as a person has a need, it means that he needs friends. ”

Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and he said:

"It just so happens that Dimon and Satana haven't been looking for Mephistopheles' 'knight' in the living world recently?"

"Doom and Mephistopheles have irreconcilable contradictions, and we and Mephistopheles will eventually go to hostility, and a common enemy will bring a new friendship."

"If all goes well, we might be able to pull Mr. Doom into our side."
