Nikita quickly casts a spell gesture that unleashes the "Wind Spell" to blow away the steam that obscures her vision. A pitch-black and massive humanoid structure was revealed, striding through the gates and entering the hall in high spirits.

Roland, Nikita, and Matvey all looked up in unison, looking at the forty-foot-tall steam giant. This behemoth is undoubtedly a kind of structure, covered with thick black steel armor, shaped like a fully armed ancient knight, with legs as thick as iron towers, and four arms on its upper body, two of which hold a long-handled battle axe and a heavy tower shield, and two arms together hold a magic crystal cannon comparable to a naval cannon, and the black hole is enough to stuff the head of an adult.

Roland couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Compared with this eight-inch inner diameter cannon, the magic crystal cannon of the "War Scourge Behemoth" is dwarfed, and Lyudmila's "buzzing cannon" looks even more like a toy.

System Tip: Discover the Manned Construct and challenge Level 19!

System Prompt: Discover the Perfect Secret Puppet in Evolution and challenge Level 10!

The continuous system warnings caused Roland to stop, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Looking up at the steam-spewing and rumbling giant again, I saw a slender figure sitting on the giant's broad shoulders, a pair of slender feet swaying leisurely with the giant's advance, it was the secret girl named "Natalia".

However, Natalia is alone, why didn't Leonid, the Mithril Trap Warlock who was inseparable from her, show up?

Just when Roland was in doubt, the construction giant stopped, and a familiar laugh came from his belly.

"My dear father, and your two nosy friends, welcome to my studio."

Roland immediately heard that this was Leonid's voice, and then thought of the "manned construct" prompted by the system just now, and suddenly realized that this constructing giant was not an "automatic construct" like a "golem", but a large "mechanical armor" that needed someone to pilot!

"Leonid, is that you?" Matvey clenched his staff, suppressed his excitement and looked up to the Construct Giant, and called out to his son, "Come out, I have something to say to you!" ”

"Forget it, I'm tired of your clichés." Leonid sneered in the cabin of the Constructed Giant's chest, "Look at this clockwork soldier, my dear father, with your professional eye, of course you can see how powerful, indestructible and delicate and agile it is, I dare say, this is the most perfect constructed weapon in the world!" Compared to this masterpiece I created, the magic locomotive you spent more than a decade rebuilding is nothing more than a ridiculous pile of steel junk! ”

"I admit that this is indeed a masterpiece, but my poor child, do not forget that you are working for the devil, and your talent will be used by the devil to kill innocents, is this the glory you want!" Matvey shouted at his rebellious son.

The clockwork soldier was silent for a few seconds, and then Leonid retorted angrily: "The value of weapons lies in killing, I am only responsible for creating weapons, as for who will use them and how to use them, it has nothing to do with me, and I am not responsible for this!" ”

"Don't you feel guilty when you say this?" Matvey's eyes were full of grief, "My greatest pride in life is to teach you to be a better mechanism warlock than me, but this is also my greatest failure!" As a father, I have failed to educate you to be an upright, kind, and compassionate man, and to stop you from going astray in time, and now I am deeply saddened to see your talents being used by the devil to create weapons of killing to sow pain, fear, and calamity in the world, all because I have failed to do my duty as a father......"

"What's the use of talking all this nonsense now? This is the path I have chosen for myself, and it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need your false confession here! Leonid sharply interrupted his father's words, and his emotions became more and more agitated, "You have taught me that the most basic principle of a warlock is to apply what he has learned, and that it is more commendable to spread a practical invention to thousands of households than to create a hundred inventions that are only ingenious but lack practical value, but see how you do it yourself?" You created Vares's most advanced magic locomotive, but you left it idle in the warehouse to eat dust, you had to choose an eye-catching master for your work, the Assanian Empire asked you to preside over the construction of the railway, you didn't go, other powers invited you to go out of the mountains, you didn't go, wasted your good years, and finally chose to serve a government of Kolas that could collapse at any time, what a stupid stubbornness! We are just warlocks, not politicians, not national leaders, who is willing to reuse us, we should work for each other wholeheartedly, what kind of national rise and fall of the country's honor and disgrace is your and my business?! Thousands of years from now, the Far Eastern nations and the countries of the Far Easterners that you love will disappear into the dust of history, and I can't figure out what is the point of wasting your life on these frivolous things, this is the most fundamental disagreement between us! ”

Leonid's series of questions completely vented the confusion and confusion that he had suppressed in his heart since childhood. Roland couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

As Leonid himself confessed, if the trap warlock is only regarded as a profession to realize self-worth, as a simple technical worker, he is indeed purer than his father, and he has gone further on the road of pursuing his skills. However, no one can live forever on an isolated island away from the hustle and bustle, and it is impossible for technical workers to isolate themselves from the crowd and focus only on invention and research. Leonid's escapist mentality, purely for the sake of technology, is, at worst, a psychological symptom of unsound personality development, which is easy to be exploited, and in fact he was indeed used by the devil Constantine.

"Leonid, you ask me why I violated the principle of the primacy of the sorcerer's practicality, but have you ever thought that you have a more essential identity in addition to the identity of the sorcerer?" With tears in his eyes, Matvey advises his son, "We are all human beings first and foremost, sons of parents, relatives of brothers, sisters, wives and children, and thousands of our compatriots who shed the same blood, speak the same language, suffer the same oppression, desire the same happiness, and have the same dreams!" Since we are human beings, we have to bear the emotion, responsibility and morality of human beings, if we are purely technical for the sake of technology, ignoring the needs of emotions, there are so many quadriplegic people in the world, why did you create a prosthetic for Natalia in the first place? If you really don't care about the consequences of your work, why bother with Natalia's untimely death? If you really think that technical research can be done without moral constraints, then why would you spend money to hire terminally ill people to help you experiment with prosthetic limbs, and it would be more convenient and troublesome to grab a few healthy children on the street and chop off their limbs for experiments? Why didn't you do that in the first place?! ”

With tears in his eyes, the old man puffed out his chest and questioned Leonid in a voice like thunder, trying to wake up his son who had gone astray.
