Although I had wondered what Master Victor's laboratory would look like, when Arthur saw it in person, he was still stunned by everything here.

Huge space, bright light, only to see the center of the hall, on a huge test bench, is doing a certain experiment, the test bench is coming and going more than a dozen large and small manipulators, some are connected to the test bench, and some are directly suspended.

The blazing light flickered frequently on the laboratory table, and all kinds of complex metal devices were constantly generated under the busy manipulators, they were assembled to form a new combination kit, and the scene was in full swing, in short, there was steel everywhere, all machinery, like the assembly line in Arthur's previous life, the kind of busy intelligent workshop.

A tall figure stands majestically in front of the workbench, majestic like a god, dazzling with two hands, and the movements are so fast that people can't see clearly.

The reason why I am not sure that this figure is a master is because this figure does not look like a human at all, but like a puppet, more than two meters and nearly three meters tall, which is even taller than Groot, who is now two meters six or seven high.

The whole body is covered with reddish-brown steel armor, and the surface of each piece of armor shines with the light of dazzling magical elements, and the armor is covered with gold-colored essence gold melted magic energy circuits and runes, supporting this terrifying body, which is an extremely powerful metal puppet.

The puppet's left and right hands are open, and the exposed fine metal joints and energy circuits on it can be seen, and the puppet's right hand holds a staff that constantly emits fiery burning rays to burn a device, and from the left shoulder of the machine puppet, there is a thick mechanical hand sticking out from above, which is flexibly and continuously operating on the test bench.

Third hand!

Arthur couldn't even tell now that he was still a human!

Several people were a little frightened, and hurriedly swept their eyes in the laboratory, no, no, there was no one else in the entire laboratory, so the humanoid puppet in front of him - this is Master Victor?

Oh, my God! It's more of a machine than a human.

Shouldn't Master Victor be so aggressive?

How can you change yourself to be like this?

Arthur couldn't believe it!

The degree of modification of this humanoid puppet in front of him is too great, even if he is still human inside, Arthur is not sure how many human elements are still in it.

The steel puppet turned around at this time, the huge metal head, where it should have been a human eye, really did not have the eyes familiar to humans, but only exposed two holes, shooting out a terrifying red light, seeing Arthur's somewhat frightened look, it seemed to be very dissatisfied,

"What? Feeling weird? You're scared! ”

"Yes, this is who I am, and what you see is who I am."

"Humph!"

"If you are afraid, then you are not worthy to be my disciples."

This tone was so heavy that Arthur's head had to quickly weigh the gains and losses. No, no, even if Master Victor is really that kind of radical madman scientist, then what is there to lose for himself, in short, he is only here to learn knowledge, as for Master Victor's own personal taste - well, that is only his personal taste, he can be regarded as invisible, in fact, it is those crazy scientists in the story of the earth, which one is not a tragedy.

Is it any wonder that there is a nickname called the Pioneer of Metal?

Arthur quickly adjusted his mood and quickly made amends.

"No, no, I think it's just, I feel a little — not very comfortable."

Hearing Arthur say this, Master Victor was a little relieved.

"Not adapting? Well, this is very normal, no one can adapt to it as soon as it comes up. ”

"After all, this flesh and blood body has bound us for tens of thousands of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"But there is one thing that I don't know if you have ever thought of, that is, is the human body really irreplaceable?"

Well? Master Victor's rhetorical question made Arthur and the others fall into thought, and before Arthur could come out of his confusion,

"You have to be clear, you don't have much time to adapt under my door!"

"I revere the principle of the evolution of the fittest in nature, and you, everyone who goes out from under my door, I hope to be the last strongest, not those cowards who cannot adapt to evolution!"

"You have to understand this!"

Arthur careful,

"yes, I think I get it."

How did this Victor give him a very strong feeling of being a Nietzschean believer.

"Humph! I heard you've been to the Mage Guild before? ”

Arthur was shocked, how did he know? When he looked up, he just happened to see some subtle changes in the terrifying red light in Victor's eyes, which seemed to convey a human-like smile?

He's laughing?

What's going on?

Could he be wrong?

At this time, Victor's electronic voice with metallic characteristics sounded again,

"What's wrong, some surprise? Hum! It is impossible for a person whom I want to take in as a disciple without doing the necessary knowledge about him. Do you think anyone can just step through my door? ”

Victor said.

Arthur had no choice but to answer.

"Yes."

"Humph! So what is the mental power value you tested in the Mage Guild? ”

"Yes 9."

"So, standing in front of me is another poor worm who has been eliminated by the talent test!"

Victor said unceremoniously.

"So in other words, your original goal was not to learn alchemy from me, but to fail the talent test of the Mage Association, so you finally had to choose my door."

This, how to say it, Arthur had to admit it obediently.

Watching Arthur admit directly, Victor's tone softened a lot. In fact, Victor really admires Arthur very much, otherwise he would not have taken such great pains to check his background.

"Humph! No surprises. But don't be discouraged, you need to know that almost all summoners, alchemists, and even dark wizards in this world, the vast majority of them chose other ways because they couldn't enter the mage's door, which is normal, after all, in the past thousands of years in the Luolan Continent, mages are orthodox, and this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"Yes!"

Arthur replied helplessly, just this, could it be that Master Victor also had the same experience when he was a teenager? Arthur had to think so.

"But," Victor's style changed, "those damned mages don't know that the world has changed, and those damned mages don't know anything about true power!" ”

"The astrologers are communicating with the otherworldly blasphemy of the gods, the summoners are allied with the demons, the ancient dark wizards are about to regain their power at their peak, and we can see that the gods are fearing and the times are evolving—times are different, only the mages are still living in their own right.

They have decayed, rotten systems, old-fashioned talent tests, keeping real talent out, and a body of knowledge that has completely lost their evolutionary momentum - the mages have barely advanced for thousands of years, and they are doomed to obsolescence! ”

"So, you have to remember that we alchemists will always believe in the evolution of the fittest!"

"The most important thing in human beings is the mind and soul, the knowledge and creativity in the mind. The human body is so fragile in comparison, small in comparison to the great creations of nature, but no problem, steel and machinery - can fix all your flaws.

In order to understand and adapt to this world, human beings must either improve, or remove and abandon this stinky skin, so that human beings can transcend this skin, be liberated, and be above this poor and ugly human nature, and see and have true power!

A mechanical heart never stops, nor is it subject to emotions. So why do people entrust their lives to the fragile flesh and blood muscles? So, you see it too. What we have chosen is to embrace the power of evolution!

I am only the first to dedicate myself on this path, and you are destined to follow this path in the future.

So, embrace evolution bravely! My disciples! ”

Victor stands in the middle of space, like a demon god in the center of the universe!

At this time, in Arthur's eyes, Victor was no longer Newton or Einstein, but more like a madman.

Could it be that every great genius has the gene of a madman?

Arthur looked at Victor at this time in surprise, and his heart turned upside down, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse to choose Victor.
