Rusted metal plates build large and small shacks, which are messily spread out at the bottom of the mountain, piecing together a small village.

More thought has been put into the periphery of the village, not only have larger and thicker metal plates been erected as parapets, but the walls are also covered with rubble, barbed wire, and unexplained mechanical debris, apparently to block the movement of certain creatures.

Seeing the details of the village, Helva couldn't help but say, "Her Royal Highness Tina is really vivid, it is indeed very similar to the wasteland, radiation, or something. The Adventurer Guild should love this, and when the Void Disaster is over, it can be developed into a new expansion for wasteland lifesaving. ”

Tina smiled, "yes, you don't need to put a lot of effort into designing, just reproduce the things that the arcanists did, but ......"

The Witch of Death and Fortune habitually emphasized: "This Adil is mine, even if you can't share it, you have to give me a little buyout fee." ”

Oretha frowned: "It's not good to say this, this is the home of Her Highness Karin, it has become like this, she is sad." ”

But Retana said, "It's okay, with Karin's self-healing speed, the old heart has just burned to ashes, and the new heart has grown, and it doesn't matter if you're sad or anything." ”

Karin laughed out loud, "Look at the people here, what kind of monster the Arcanist has turned them into." ”

The laughter was so out of step with the words that Retana coughed and said, "I just said you have a big heart, but you have no heart here!"

Karin shook her head and said, "I'm glad to see that they are so wary of strangers, they have been tossed like this, and they are still full of vitality, they really deserve to be our Tinnewi." ”

They came down from the mountain and did not hide their traces, and the people of the village found them from afar. It would cause a number of heads to rise and fall on the wall, and there would be a figure in front of the gate with obstacles.

With their eyesight, they could see these people from a distance.

Some of their faces have a metallic sheen, and one eye is very different from a living eye.

Some of the arms and legs have been replaced with mechanical prosthetics, and even the lower body is a mechanical structure similar to that of spiders and ants.

Some of them seem to be wearing heavy armor, but if you look closely, they are a patchwork of various mechanical parts, and they seem to be able to move and change into various forms.

Not only did it look weird, but there was a faint gray smoke behind everyone, just like the magic guide machinery that burned inferior slime magic oil when the magic guide industry was just starting out in the early days.

If it weren't for the fact that most people were talking with their natural vocal cords, their reactions would be different, and they would really think they were puppets.

Of course, with the level of Karin and the others, the more direct evidence to confirm that these people are not puppets is the natural soul fluctuations they exude.

"Is that why you fell on Atayal?"

Karin turned to "Atayal" and asked, "The Tinnewe people have a new manifestation on the level of life, this kind of transformation...... Or has evolution broadened your faith path?"

Just now at the top of the mountain, the "Goddess of Life" descended on Atay, and the initial meeting with Karin and the others was not too pleasant.

Xiaohong and Richie, who are in a meeting, receive a message instructing Karin not to rush to respond, things could be complicated.

Xiaohong said very vaguely: "Gods like life, nature, and magic, although they are not as long as the creation gods like Xiao Hei Xiaoyin, they are also the gods of law second only to the creation gods. Their personified images carry a will that is not necessarily equivalent to that of the gods. ”

Li Qi explained specifically: "He didn't come to Xiaohong, I'm afraid it has something to do with this situation, so you have to confirm whether he is really the goddess of life, or represents the entire will of the goddess of life." ”

At that time, Karin was unhappy: "If so, then I have to sacrifice for the united front?"

Li Qi smiled: "It's up to you to decide, you are free, what is the meaning of life, don't you already know?

Karin snorted, but her mouth was unconvinced: "You, the guy who tried to turn all the witches into your own harem, have long been dissatisfied with me for leading the three witches to resist you. Now you want to take this opportunity to push me out and unify ...... Backyard, right? Your plot won't succeed!"

In short, Karin's side used the pretext that Tinneway's matter was more urgent, and the goddess of life, Sebeni, probably felt that this matter could not be forced, so she promised not to mention the matter of conversion until the matter of Tinneway was resolved, but he asked to continue to possess Tyra and act with Karin.

Karin's question made "Atayal" shake her head: "I'm not very sure about the sense here, either the Arcanist has a special setting on the plane barrier, or the belief of the Tinnevi is very weak, in short, this is not my focus. ”

Tina next to her suddenly said: "Then this is Fini's situation, that guy succeeded in sneaking away in the early hours of this morning, and he must have drunk enough milk from Richie." ”

"Atayal" said very frankly: "Yes, I sensed that Suren's power had completely disappeared in this world, and then found that this power was absorbed into mortals, making this mortal a new life that was not human or god, but had the characteristics of mortals and gods at the same time. ”

"This is a new change in mortals, and it is also a new change in life, so it has attracted my attention. ”

"I've decided to dedicate a portion of my will to this possibility, rather than all of it to the Goddess of Order. ”

Karin and the others were awe-inspiring, and sure enough, as Xiaohong and Li Qi said, this Sebeni was just the will of the goddess of life.

"But I'm curious about this place too......"

"Atayal" continued: "The changes here are actually due to the changes caused by Lady Crimson in the world of Finn. ”

"Since Karin you are not willing to accept the predetermined fate, then I will see what you do. Confirm how much the crimson path you believe in differs from me on the matter of life. ”

Karin shrugged: "Although we all know the goddess of life, but seriously, the goddess of life does not have a definite answer to the question of how to treat life. ”

She wiped her nose and said, "And you didn't mention the priesthood you just introduced...... Reproduction, or reproduction, should be the most important and core thing in life. ”

"Yes," said Atayal, "I did not bring out that part, otherwise the Goddess of Order would have regarded me as completely on my side against Him." ”

Helva sighed: "It seems that everyone is checking on each other, so let's solve the matter in front of us first, they are here." ”

She reminded, "Lift the cloak and reveal your arms." ”

Wizards and other magic guides were shouted in a variant of the lingua franca that Karin had heard a little bit of unpleasantness, and several villagers with four or six mechanical legs leaned over tremblingly with long-roded long-range weapons that resembled the early magic guns, or the "burning sticks" of the magicians.

Karin unveiled her cloak here, and the active magic guide weapon revealed her arms and legs, although the special crystal titanium shell and the flickering dark gold light were very different from the other party, it was only a grade under the painting style, and everyone obviously sensed that the other party's soul fluctuations had eased a little.

"I guess ......"

Tina swallowed her spit and said, "Are the surviving humans here divided into two factions, mechanical and flesh and blood, and regard each other as mortal enemies, and are fighting you to the death?"

Helva was sure: "No matter what the chaos is like here, when we opened the secret passage before, we have already installed communication and teleportation interfaces, and support will arrive as soon as possible." ”

"And this is the outer plane, His Majesty Xiaohong and Chief Cardinal Li Qi are watching our live broadcast, what decisions are needed, they will be obtained soon. ”

The opposing guards approached, and Helva stepped forward to act as a contact.

She called herself "astral travelers who accidentally strayed into this world", hoping to find a place to stay, but she easily fooled the other party.

The group was received as VIPs, and when they entered the village, they met the old village chief and realized what was the reason for the easy way in, and Tina's guess was confirmed.

The old village chief's name is Nasbah, and the only part of his entire body that can be called "human" is the head that is encased in a transparent cover. The lower body is a mechanical base, connected to the rudimentary magic circuit on the wall by messy and thick wiring, and it has no legs and cannot move at all.

The style of painting on the scene is extremely curious, but it is nothing in the eyes of the goddess of life, and the Chilian people have long been used to it.

Karin and other witches, as well as Helva and Morquinn, all have Overseer support mechs on their bodies, and old Trumore is even contained in a humanoid coffin. For the Red Alliance, they themselves are the source of curiosity that shakes the world of Fein.

"I'm going to have to get treated here to keep my head from turning into an iron bump, and by the way, to keep an eye on the situation around the village, so I'm sorry I can't get up and salute you. ”

An old head with only more layers of skin than a skull, speaking with a voice that is supposed to be a magic machine, Karin relies on the Ethereal Assistant, and quickly analyzes the difference between this "Tinneway" and the lingua franca, and shares the translation results with everyone.

Nasbah then looked at Karin: "Don't insist on this kind of white lie anymore, young people, no iron sheet can leave this world, and the same is true for meat balls. ”

He glanced at the others, his gaze paused on Temorul, and then quickly swept over the others, expressing his doubts in an unchanged tone: "But your origin is indeed very strange, although the others have the characteristics of the iron skin, they can't sense the breath of the iron skin. Of course, I can confirm that none of you are lumps of meat, and the rancid smell of them cannot be concealed at all. ”

Tina said with emotion: "The iron skin and the meat ball, it really unfolds like this, what is the arcanist doing here?"

After a very brief discussion, Karin decided to reveal her identity in a limited way.

"I'm Tinneyway...... Members of the royal family, who left here when the Arcanists invaded and the world was destroyed, have now found their way back. ”

She asked directly, "Tell me, what has become of our Tinneway, and is there still royal blood, government agencies, or officers and soldiers resisting?"

"Tell me, are our enemies, the Arcanists, still here? Where are they?"

Even the sound of machinery was stunned and even angry at this time, and Nasper said, "Tinneway, that kingdom that was destroyed because of the pursuit of eternal life was eight hundred years ago!"

"Also, what Arcanist invades, Arcanists are here to help us. ”

"If it weren't for the Arcanist who taught us to defend ourselves against the Immortal Botanum poison with iron skins, the people of this world would have all turned into flesh-like monsters and died. ”

"And young man, your lies are so ridiculous, how can there be mortals who live to be eight hundred years old!"

"Look at me, I'm the longest-lived ironsheet in this area, thirty-eight years old!"

"The meat ball lives for a long time, but when it is more than twenty years old, it becomes a monster, and even the soul is distorted, so it is not called alive. ”

"I think you're only fifteen or sixteen years old......"

As soon as she said this, a powerful force of golden light seeping from the emerald green rushed out of Karin's body, shaking the whole room.

Karin's face was bright, and she clenched her fists and shouted, "I have been ravaged by those arcanists for eight hundred years!

Nasbah's words were too informative, and the thing about time in them alone made Karin explode.

Karin used to tell everyone that she was thousands of years old, but it was actually just a joke.

Although the Tinnewi did not live as long as the elves, they also surpassed the half-elves and even halflings. Karin was less than a hundred years old when she was captured by the Arcanist, and she was a young girl among the Tinnewi.

After that, as a test subject, he was tortured by an arcaneist for an unknown amount of time. After squeezing out the value, it became a human flesh engine that was thrown away as a floating ship, and she had no idea how long it lasted.

Talking about thousands of years old, in fact, Karin still hopes that she can be tender.

I didn't expect her to be over nine hundred years old!

Helva reminds: "The focus is on the last sentence of the people......"

Karin roared, "What's the use of looking like it? Essence is the most important thing, isn't it?

The other person also roared angrily: "I'm only thirty-eight years old, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm old!? I'm almost ten thousand years old!"

By the way, there is also an old ancestor of Tinneway.

The two Tinneway were angry because of their age, but the "old man" Nasbah was so shocked by the powerful force that he rolled his eyes, looking like he was about to hang up.

Helva sensed it quickly, and with a shot of Red Pain and Life Elixir, Nasbah immediately returned to his senses.

"Really, really powerful......"

Nasbah's mechanical voice was intermittent and extremely excited: "I sensed the power of incomparably pure bloodline, as if it came from a legend...... The power of the ancestors. ”

Karin and Trumore said in unison: "I am your ancestor!"

Seeing that he could get more information from Nasbah, his eyes rolled uncontrollably.

"The meat ball is here again!"

"That's a lot this time!"

"How can there be so many?"

Only Karin, Temonur, and Helva entered the house, and the others were outside.

Tina shouted in the channel: "That's the meat ball, have we traveled to the world of Resident Evil?

In the video, smoke and dust are rising from outside the village, and hundreds of vague figures are rushing towards the village from all directions.

Through the smoke and dust, you can see monsters that are no less terrifying than biochemical zombies, and even more bizarre.

Some have spider-like legs, some have ant-like arms, and some have bodies as long as centipedes, and bat-like wings.

On the strange body with the blue and gray luster of the corpse, the human heads were even more ugly and hideous. The contours of normal human heads are no longer visible, some have compound eyes, some mouths have become suckers, or there are multiple layers of wolf-like sharp teeth, or more layers of small serrations.

"Damn, I must have brought it in. ”

Letana said: "We haven't brought in the Source Magic Field Generator yet, so we have to use the probes on the Magic Force, and the large manic geisms we saw at that time must be these guys, and the detection alarmed them." ”

Oresa said anxiously: "If we continue to cover up our identities, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no casualties in this village. ”

Tina's figure had melted into the air, and she said on the channel: "Then let go of your hands and feet, I'll grab my tongue first." ”

Asked by Helva and Morquin to protect Temorul and the village, Karin took Retana and Oretha to the ground, turning into three clusters of sun-like light that split into three directions and crashed into the horde of monsters known as the "Meat Ball".

Seeing a black and white giant bear man standing up, rolling with his head in his hands, and making a crackling sound like a tide, "Ataya" who stayed in the village, the green light in his eyes flashed like a hard disk lamp.

..................

In the Crimson Throne, Xiaohong and Li Qi also temporarily terminated the summary and review of the current situation, and watched the live broadcast of Karin and others' "Return to Tinneway" together.

Karin and the other four witches are outside to open a matchless, and Helva continues to chat with the village chief Nasbah in the village, and has already asked about the origin of "Iron Skin" and "Meat Ball".

According to Nasbah, 800 years ago, the royal family of Tinneway wanted to pursue eternal life and engaged in some "elixir of eternal life", which resulted in the creation of "the poison of eternal life". People who are poisoned by this kind of poison will have their bodies decay, their souls burst, and in short, they will die extremely tragic and painful.

In order to immortalize the whole people, the royal family of Tinneway spread the elixir of immortality throughout the world in the water and air, almost killing everyone.

At this time, the "kind" arcanists came. They brought a temporary cure, which was to use the magic guide machine to curb the poisonous effect, and saved a small number of people.

However, the arcanists are also divided into two factions, one group feels that the person implanted with the magic guide machine is no longer a real person, and advocates stimulating the power of the Tinnewi people's own bloodline to fight poison with poison. Yes, in the past traditions of the Tinnewi, the power of their bloodlines was seen as evil and defiled, and as such, it had been suppressed.

The other faction thinks that the power of the bloodline will turn people into monsters, and that is not a real person. In the case of magic machinery, only some limbs and organs are turned into machines, and people are still pure.

This is where the "iron sheet" and "meat ball" come from......

"We are pure people!"

"Cutting off arms and legs, replacing them with magic limbs, glasses, and even internal organs, is so that our minds can remain pure and our souls untainted," Nasbah said. ”

"Those lumps of flesh, I mean those who are still awake and think that they are pure people, they feel that as long as something grows from themselves, even if it is pure, even if the soul is impregnated or even broken, it is still purer than our iron skin. ”

"Of course, neither of us is subordinate to the other, the war has been fought for hundreds of years, and as long as either side is not dead, it will continue forever. ”

Helva's interrogation video and the witches' battle video were displayed on the throne at the same time, seeing Tina picking up the monster with only eight long legs and covered with dense hair, Chu Li's version of Little Red sighed faintly: "No wonder Karin has not been fully integrated into the red net, life is indeed a subject that has not yet been answered by our path of Datongism." ”

Li Qi didn't think so, and subconsciously said: "Why didn't you answer? The path of Datongism is the pursuit of the ultimate freedom of mortals, and all analysis, derivation, and vision descriptions are based on the pure essence of human beings as human beings. ”

"When it comes to the world of Fein, this is also the default premise, but the concept of 'human' should be expanded to cover all intelligent beings. ”

"The reason why we are making such fast progress is that we also adhere to this standard, so regardless of race, we have pulled in humans, half-elves, half-humans, half-orcs, dragons, and even kobolds and lizardmen, even purified demons and devils, as well as the spirit sucking monster that has reversed its nature, so that we can gather powerful power in a short period of time?"

Xiaohong shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It sounds like it's about the meaning of life...... At least on the question of the direction of life, you think that the path of cosmopolitanism is a pure path by default, and that supremacy and harmony are heretical. ”

Li Qi also became serious and retorted: "What is pure, supreme and harmonious, but it is just a game setting, deliberately extracting several opposing extremes, how can it be forcibly labeled as the only multiple-choice question?"

"According to your classification, our work in the study of life and soul has long gone beyond the boundaries of cosmopolitanism. Isn't it the most evil heresy in the eyes of fundamentalists who emphasize the purity of the human body?"

Xiao Hong sighed: "But in the end, we still have to maintain the original form of mortals, isn't this purely what?"

Li Qi retorted: "This is the cornerstone, there must be a cornerstone, if you don't maintain the form of a mortal, then what else is the basis?"

"The material determines the spirit, and the material base determines the superstructure, from the grand society to the small individual life. ”

"The culture, ideas, and beliefs of mortals are all based on the form of mortals. Even if it can be changed casually, it will ultimately be based on this pattern. ”

"Without this benchmark, I can't imagine how the things behind me will change, and then how everyone will unite as one, without this benchmark, there will be no universalism. ”

"Don't forget, the cause of cosmopolitanism that we are fighting for now is mortal, and it is the universalism of mortals who are specific to the spirits of the world of Fein. It's not abstract, it's the kind of universalism that illuminates every corner of the multiverse, every historical stage, including all kinds of changes in the next tens of millions of years. ”

Xiaohong concluded: "So, you still insist...... Sheer. Okay, I'm not talking about the game setting, but didn't you say that this is the benchmark? The benchmark can't be changed, it's the emphasis on purity. ”

Li Qi fought back forcefully: "Then I want to ask, why did it change, and why did it change?"

"When we follow the path of Datongism, liberate all oppression, and pursue ultimate freedom, isn't it just to let mortals achieve development in their current form that they did not have before?"

"If, in the end, we make ourselves not mortal, doesn't that mean that the path of cosmopolitan has failed?"

"The reason why mortals change their life forms is either because of survival reasons, or because of the further aggravation of exploitation, forcing mortals to be oppressed to change their own forms in order to adapt to society and survive. ”

"If it is for the pursuit of a better life, then no matter how advanced and advanced the changed form is, the preservation of the original life form as a fundamental freedom should not be taken away. ”

"I think this is the fundamental principle of cosmopolitanism, which is not that you have to lose something, but that you have more choices, and at the same time these choices do not harm others. ”

Xiaohong still sighed and shook her head: "Is it really that simple? ”

"So on this level, I do understand the idea of the goddess of order. The cause of Datongism that we have set off has raised the general social productivity of Finn's magical world, and then various challenges have arisen in the question of life. ”

"Compared to the risk of giving birth to terrible creatures that would distort or even destroy the world entirely, restarting the world is nothing more than a normal operation. The response of the goddess of order, from the perspective of life, is actually a very standard systemic immune response. ”

Li Qi wanted to slap it over, what did this guy do, and he actually defended the destruction of the goddess of order?

He said in a solemn tone: "In that world, it really doesn't seem to involve much of this problem, and that is a problem that was encountered only later in the further development of the productive forces. ”

"We've had that question at the beginning of this year, and we've been answering it. ”

"We are working to extend the life span of mortals, we are making mortal bodies and souls more resilient and safe, and we are even leading some of the lower intelligence races to the higher intelligence......"

"This is what we have done naturally in the past few years, in the process of taking the road of Datongism, and I think this is the answer to Datongism in life, but we have not yet made efforts to summarize and study. ”

"Right now, we're waiting for Karin and I'm sure she'll give us the answer. ”

Xiaohong blinked, looking like she had just come back to her senses: "Oh, I'm sorry, just now I accidentally substituted into the perspective of the heart of the gods." ”

Beating her thighs, she said in annoyance: "Look, I haven't evolved to a super god like this, but fortunately, I'm not so easy to get out of the crowd...... Oh, mortal stands. ”

She first stated her basic posture, and then insisted: "But when the productive forces develop, we will not, and what the productive forces allow may be there, and others will." ”

Richie didn't speak, just stared at her.

Xiaohong was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, now this kind of logical topic can't help but bother you......"

She smiled: "So the struggle on the road of Datongism will never stop, because we will continue to fight against the demons we have created." ”

Only then did Li Qi say, "What you said, the Arcanist is already doing it. ”

The two paused their retreat argument for a moment and looked at the light curtain at the same time.

After a long while, Xiaohong muttered again, "I remember Romrose...... Are you ......"

Li Qi yelled irritably, "Shut up!"

Red craned her neck and stuck out her tongue.
