Compared with ordinary carriages, ghost carriages that are themselves semi-main planes have obvious advantages, they don't need to be replenished with water, they don't need to be picky about smooth roads, they only need enough magic to pay, and they can even float in the air in a short time, crossing the limitations of terrain and space, especially strengthened ghost carriages, and even have the ability to transfer fixed tracks.

Wainlael is obviously a person who will enjoy it, the interior reinforced living space is far more spacious and comfortable than it looks on the outside, no matter how inclined the mountain road is, there is no trace of bumps in the car, the carriage is made into three compartments, and the configuration of various equipment is not bad, but at this time, there are only a few "female" companions such as Katerina, Heloise, and Wainlaire.

It's not that I have any specific choice, but the custom of adventurers in long-distance travel, in order to maintain sufficient physical fitness and combat strength, in addition to the privilege of comfortable cultivation of the caster who must rest, only these "weak women" have the privilege of taking transportation....... well, I should admit that these weak women are the best of us, but compared to rough men, at least beautiful women are better to keep by their side to be eye-catching.

Wenlael is our biggest reliance on this trip, not to mention, Heloise has not changed her name, as my magic pet, she still has the ability of the legendary level, the actual combat power is more than to blow up those parallel legends, even if there is a fight for the holy level, as for Katarina....... is actually the biggest gain of this trip.

"Artificial intelligence, the emotional system is so rich and sound, what is the difference between it and normal people, the sage civilization back then was really terrifying."

There was a magic book on the table, but his mind was thinking about things. And on the other side. The gargoyles are patrolling back and forth under my control. Within a radius of three kilometers, not even a single vole could escape their specially enhanced enchanted sapphire surveillance eye, and the four gargoyles formed a surveillance net, completing the duties of the "watcher" extremely well, and there was no need to worry at all.

You get what you pay for, and the upper limit of the ability to construct creatures is only related to the skill of the maker and the quality of the materials, although many precious materials are used in places that people can't evaluate, but since there is money to make Mithril painting and move joints. The investment in basic performance will not be bad, and there is no shortage of functionality, even if it is the most useless frontal combat power, it is no problem for gargoyles to single-handedly pick up a silver-level combat power.

"That, Carlo......."

Perhaps my direct gaze was too rude, and Katerina, who was sitting in front of me, bowed her head with a flushed face.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm thinking about things. ”

As an expert in souls, necromancy, living beings, and elemental spirits have no secrets in my eyes, and when I first met Katarina, I was shocked by the artificial soul in the simulated limb.

Inferior artificial souls are not a problem. Those gargoyles have the ability to make simple judgments, and the likes of Taling and metal golems also have their own intelligence. Just looking at the computing power, it is probably still above Caterina in front of her, but her appearance is still an extremely special sign.

"There is no difference between an ordinary artificial soul and a Caterina in front of you? Just look at the short period of time is probably no different, but the real essential difference is obvious, those low-level artificial creatures have already determined their ability limit and use when they are created, while Caterina has the ability to learn, self, feelings, but her growth is the same as that of humans, coupled with the body of metal components, it can be said that the potential is unlimited. ”

If it is an ordinary material world, there is not much difference between pure logical calculation and artificial soul, but in Ash, whose will can be turned into power, and the soul with feelings, self, and existence can become a real strong person, no matter how strong the rigid logic accumulation is, it is only a tool, and only a soul with joy, anger and sorrow is an independent "person".

And the strength of the soul, the development trend, is also directly related to the person's future development potential, I can feel that if the soul of an ordinary person is an unpolished raw ore, then Caterina's soul is like the sun wrapped in ore, even if there is a circle of obstacles on the periphery, but the bright brilliance of the core cannot be hidden.

"This soul strength is like the reincarnation of a legendary hero and a divine son, if such a existence can be mass-produced...... The sage civilization of the year was swept away by the gods, and it was really not wronged at all. ”

I've tried to expose Caterina to martial arts and magic, and I don't see anything special about her, but she must have something very special, after all, it is impossible for a sage civilization to spend so many resources to create such a top-notch artificial soul, and use her as a barmaid or something like mundane positions.

I can't restore the manufacturing process of artificial souls, but I understand the meaning of high quality, to create such a natural and powerful soul, you must pay enough equal price, a little estimate, far beyond the value of a floating city.

Nothing appeals more to soul experts than an unknown and powerful artificial soul, and if it weren't for the fact that Caterina is a mechanical life form rather than an ordinary life, I am not good at engineering machinery, and I am really not sure that it will be successfully restored after dismantling it, I am afraid that Caterina has become a part now.

And if it hadn't been for Catalina's attention, I probably wouldn't have stayed here, let alone discovered the Dragoon General Patton...... I'm not a, so how could I have nothing to do to remember the man's name, just the added bonus of finding Katerina's relatives after discovering her.

"There is such a mystery in just one creation, and there must be a very amazing mystery in that ruin, and there is absolutely no room for error!"

If it weren't for the fact that studying Catalina and exercising little Barton took me too much energy, I would have gone to that ruin to dig up treasures, and now it is so possible to be preempted by others and take down all the mysteries and benefits of the ruins, this is the primary purpose of my trip!

And in order to completely drain the value of the ruins, I even risked being exposed and recruited the great engineer Dimiret!

What? Gate of the Dead? What's that, since you have met it, you can solve it by the way, if you can't solve it, so be it, it's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, there are so many battlefields in this world, and what can I do.

[Aren't you afraid to play off, have an Ash version of the man-machine war? ] Maybe the woman in front of you is the future Skynet, and the ancient ruins you really want to dig up are actually a dormant killing machine qì manufacturing factory. 】

"Terminator? Don't bluff me, theoretically I don't think that making a completely anthropomorphic soul like Caterina is a technology that can be mass-produced. And even if it can be mass-produced, and a dangerous artificial soul is created, this is not the earth, so what is there to be afraid of. ”

Yes, this is not a modern city full of electrical and electronic equipment, most of the area is still in the Middle Ages, not to mention, even if the creation of magic technology is similar to the pure manual operation of the old trial heavy machinery, there is no room for artificial souls to intervene, even if you want to have a Skynet vs. the magic world, there is no soil for Skynet to grow and grow.

What? Thousands of years later, the technology has matured? Only then will there be a man-machine war? At that time, I didn't know where my ashes went, what did it matter to me.

"Well, Caro, your face is a little strange, isn't it?"

There were too many thoughts in her head, and this change in her face made Caterina feel uneasy, and she asked cautiously.

"He's thinking about how to strip you off."

Heloise's words were full of malice, but they made Caterina take a half-step back and lean back in her chair, and the look in her eyes was almost eager to be eaten alive, which made her suspicious.

There have been so many things that have happened in the past few days, so much that her, a bar girl with little education, can't think, and the originally trustworthy friend suddenly becomes a high-ranking mage master, and now she looks at herself as if she has seen through her own soul, which is always unreassuring.

After thinking about it, there must be other reasons why a noble mage pretended to be a bad gambler in the bar for half a year, and mingled with a low-born bar girl.

And now, the blonde girl seems to be giving a reasonable answer.

"You... Carlo, sue me, you're not such a person! Why don't you speak? We are friends, I treat you as a brother, as a brother, do you really just want to ...... Miss me! ”

The bar girl who has never read a book has dealt with those vulgar adventurers since she was a child, and the words are so direct and bold, don't talk about me for a while, even Heloise, who was full of malice just now, was stunned.

"Little sister, he's a bastard, he's an irresponsible playboy who has made countless girls cry, and even I am one of the victims. And what he wants to do most now is to strip you of your qiē. You see, the way he gritted his teeth, he was going to beat me again. Help me, young lady. ”

The dead cat threw herself into Caterina's arms, and fluid was already flowing from the corners of her eyes, as if she had been deeply affected by it.

"You think ......."

"You can ask him! He had cursed himself and couldn't lie, but he was very good at using clever words to get by. You ask him if what I just said is true! Did he want to strip you, did he make a lot of good women cry! ”

"I ......."

"Yes, or, no? There is no doubt that we don't need other answers! ”

"I'm X! Heloise! ”

What it's like to be tied up in the true lies that I do best, I probably want to go crazy, but I don't know how to start, and these angers, probably in the eyes of others, are just annoyance and anger when the bad habits are revealed.

My silence, however, was a tacit acquiescence in Katerina's eyes, a blow like a thunderbolt from the blue, and she immediately turned pale, stumbled out of the carriage, and hid behind her father-in-law......

"Dead cat!"

"Oh, Eliza, Amira, you still have the leisure to get into a new emotional debt? I pinched you, don't thank me. ”

And I was just about to get revenge, but those two familiar names cooled me down all at once, and at the same time, under the watchful eye of the gargoyles, I got some trouble that I had to deal with. (To be continued......)
