Chapter 939 - Secret Words
White Shadow: "Okay, okay!" It's really boring just to sleep. Napa-sama, you can do whatever you say~~~ But ...... Hee-hee, can I make the simplest request? β
Little White Kitten: "No. I know what you want to do. However, no. β
White Shadow: "Cut, stingy." β
After the complaint was over, the white shadow entered the shadow of the little white cat at its request. The little white cat looked down at her shadow, and after making sure that the thing was hidden, she finally took a step out of the room and jumped out of the hallway.
First, it takes Shadow to the room of the Crispy Tower to meet the macaroons, and briefly explains why they are now all lying in bed and unable to move.
Then it went downstairs with the shadow and went straight to the basement, where it crept to the place where Sevia was being held.
It's just that there has been a visitor here for a long time - Tesla.
Now, the man was standing in front of the cage where Sevia was being held, quietly looking at the girl inside who was being shackled.
The little white cat hides in the shadows and up its ears. And in its shadow, a pair of ears were also quietly erected, listening to the situation here.
Tesla stared at Sevia inside, staring at her for a long time.
After waiting for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that you were a spy...... The so-called saying of joining the Guild of Origin and then wanting to learn the technology...... Is it all a lie? β
In the cage, Sevia, who was tightly chained, did not speak. She just kept her head down, not even the slightest hint of wanting to respond to the man.
Looking at the girl among them, Tesla's eyes gradually moistened. He couldn't help wiping a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued in a slightly choked voice: "You ...... today Tell me this afternoon...... All of us in the Origin Guild have been killed...... Does this have anything to do with you? When you know I'm not going to follow you, you immediately think about killing me...... Sevia ...... I'm not stupid, so I just wanted to ask you...... Those people...... Those former companions of the Origin Guild were killed...... Does it have anything to do with you? β
At this moment, Sevia's head suddenly raised.
At that moment, her eyes were also full of tears, and she looked at Tesla in front of her affectionately.
Just this glance made Tesla's spirit shake suddenly, as if he had been touched by something, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
White Shadow: "I like this girl~~~"
Little White Cat: "Don't talk too much. β
Sevia opened her mouth with a slight choked voice in her voice: "What if...... Tesla Brother ...... If I say it has nothing to do with me...... You'll believe it...... Will you believe me? β
Tesla was stunned, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
Seeing Tesla's hesitation, Sevia immediately added, "It's not me...... It's really not my ......! I don't know what the people in Mermaid Song said to Brother Tesla...... I confessed everything during the day...... You want me to kill Tesla's brother...... I'm in a lot of pain, too! So even if I have to die, I hope I can die with my brother Tesla...... But I really haven't done anything to the rest of the Origin Guild! Unbelief...... Brother Tesla can go and ask...... Aren't those so-called bandits killed by these adventurers? β
"Say no more! I won't...... Won't be fooled by you again! β
Suddenly, Tesla's emotions were excited! He took two steps back in great stride, his hands shaking constantly.
It's just that the girl in the cage is still looking at the assembler with teary eyes, pitiful, delicate and helpless-
"Brother Tesla...... You're just thinking I'm lying to you...... But...... But in the minds of our girls...... Is it just to lie to the person you like? I admit it...... Sometimes I do have a little trick on you...... But that...... That's because I ...... you to Tesla brother I really ...... you! β
She sobbed, and what she had meant to say came to an abrupt end.
Facing Sevia's crying face now, the anger and excitement on Tesla's face just now were suddenly eliminated, and he just looked at the girl in the cage blankly.
White Shadow: "That's interesting. Napa-sama, if the girl you fancy is really that great, then how could she not have thought of guarding this prisoner strictly? This human man has been talking here for a long time, where are the guards? β
Little White Kitten: "......"
White Shadow: "Ah! So the guard is Napa-sama?! Hehehe, it's really getting more and more interesting. β
Little White Kitten: "I think you want to go back to sleep." β
White Shadow: "Okay, good~~ I won't speak." β
Sevia gasped for a few moments before stopping sobbing. Her face was slightly crooked, and the loose strands of hair were casually on her shoulders and half of her cheeks, and one of the long strands of hair was held in her mouth and gently bitten, revealing pale pink lips and silver-white teeth.
The next moment, the beautiful girl's lips opened again, and she said softly-
"Brother Tesla...... Didn't you ever doubt the Mermaid's Song...... Are they lying to you and taking advantage of you? If I'm a spy trying to take you away, then why should the leader of this guild be so nice to you? Is it for the sake of the Origin Guild's broken copper and iron? Do you really think that with your own strength, you can compete with the magical power that has been on the entire Golden Continent for more than a thousand years? Not to mention that magic had long since long been common knowledge before the era, and it was an existence that could not be changed at all. β
Tesla seemed to want to say something, but he looked at Sevia's face and couldn't say anything for a moment.
"Brother Tesla, you really don't understand. Didn't understand all this. β
Seeing that Tesla stopped talking, Sevia's face immediately flashed with a slight light as if she had caught hope, and continued-
"This country will never let you go. It's not because of how good this elemental machine you have created, it's that we humans are simply not ready to accept power other than magic. What's more, it's impossible for your machine to completely replace magic. β
"But in order to prevent social turmoil (harmony) in this country, and for those with ulterior motives to do something too much with these completely unconventional elemental machines of yours, this empire will definitely suppress you. Not for anything, just to be stable, to be able to keep everything going. β
"The Wizards' Guild will not let you go, and even the Holy See will probably not let you go. Brother Tesla, do you understand? It's not because of any fear of how valuable your creation will be, but purely for Liwei! β
"And this mermaid song, they don't exist to protect you at all, to protect the Origin Guild. The guild leader is taking advantage of you. β
"Yes, maybe I'm a little more radical, but how good is what the Mermaid Song Leader does?"
"He put you under house arrest and made you stay here like a thief, thinking all about how to study the machines. Do you really believe that the president, who is full of shrewd ideas, will really believe in the usefulness of what you have created? No, he just wants to use your creation as a bargaining chip to make a deeper deal with this country. β
"As long as he can make his own deal, then he will definitely not hesitate to abandon you, your meaningless elemental machines. Brother Tesla, you can not believe me, but as long as things continue to develop, this kind of thing will definitely happen! β
Maybe it's because what Sevia said is too swearing.
Such a firm attitude made Tesla seem a little hesitant. He couldn't help but take half a step back, his eyes flickering at the girl in the cage.
"We humans are creatures who naturally like to look for things that are good for us."
Sevia's gaze became gentle, and she tugged her hands slightly, and after making the chains around her make a slight rattling sound, she continued to whisperβ
"We will only do good things, and we will not touch things that are not good. It's the same as when we're hungry we eat, and when we're thirsty, we want to find water to drink. There's no way the short man could have escaped such a pattern. β
"Even if one day he will be very successful in some way, even if he will one day gain a great deal of power and wealth...... But at that time, he will definitely be the next person to oppress Tesla's brother. The power in his hands will surely become the next Blue Bay Empire. β
"This world is magical. At that time, he would not allow the elemental machinery that would have an impact on magic to continue to exist in this world. When that time comes, he will be the one who will ask you to destroy all the machines. β
"Yes......"
"When we humans are in a difficult situation, we think about change."
But once we humans are in the stage of comfort and life becomes comfortable, we will inevitably refuse to make any changes. You will definitely understand this, Brother Tesla...... Right? β
The girl's words were like a spell.
These voices constantly disturbed Tesla's mind, making his mood seem a little unstable.
After a few moments, Tesla was pacing back and forth with his head in his hands, and then he suddenly said, "Don't say any more!" What are you talking about...... No way, President Arrow would never do that! β
