Chapter 12: The Demands of Synths

After the Sharia War, there was only one of each type of machine remaining on the islands.

After those synths stole the "Fire Opal", Tongshen Island couldn't reopen an identical one.

No matter how you look at it, this is also the hand of those synths.

In order to prevent Russell, an outlying agent hired by Shensane Heavy Industries to solve the synth problem, from arriving on Tongshen Island, they manipulated the fire opal in advance to shoot him down at sea.

This is also supposed to show the Divine Heavy Industries that they have the ability to manipulate fire opals.

Fire opals are incognito for a long time, making it difficult to detect if they are parked at a high position. Synths, on the other hand, can park their fire opals above the target they want to bomb at any time, and silently fire stealth missiles to blow them up.

- This is a threat.

They should be asking for human rights, for Theosophical Heavy Industries to make their existence public and to give them the right to freedom.

And Ringo was clearly aware of this.

That's why her whimpering voice is full of murderous intent.

For Russell, it may just be two bodyguards who don't know each other...... But for Ringo, this is the captain and senior sister she relies on, the person she loves and cherishes.

Remember the URL

Russell sighed deeply, heavily.

He kept a straight face, and his expression became solemn for the first time in a long time.

An indifferent expression that belonged to the "godfather" and not to ultramarine emerged from his face.

"I was thinking about seeing if I could save them......

"But now it looks like I'm going to have to reset my opinion of them."

Even if Russell himself is not counted, it is the lives of more than a hundred innocent people.

For the freedom of his race, he did not hesitate to bomb the airship carrying more than 100 civilians......

This kind of behavior has exceeded the limit of Russell's patience.

Although there is no clear evidence that this thing is done by synthetic people...... But they do have a motive.

It is not known where the news that Russell was coming to investigate leaked out.

However, the purpose of these synths is obviously to kill Russell, which was specially invited from the outer islands by the Sansity Heavy Industries, in order to show the Sansity Heavy Industries their ability to control the fire opals.

Although Russell is the "hero" of the outer islands, the people of Tongshen Island are hostile to heroes and even more hostile to outsiders.

If their actions were known to the people of Tongshen Island, some people might applaud them - the hostility of the civilians of Tongshen Island towards the Big Seven was also the strongest among the seven sky islands.

And if Shensane Heavy Industries wanted them in the name of attacking the "heroes of the outer islands", perhaps they would have won the sympathy and support of the people.

The core demand of these synths is to obtain human rights and integrate into Tongshen Island.

They are incapable of reproduction, and if they want to expand their population, they must transform newborns who have just learned to speak into synths like them. And it makes sense that they can't get a newborn on their own...... In other words, if they want to expand their population, they must occupy the magpie's nest and take the lives of other people's children like cuckoos.

Because of this, after they got the fire opal, they didn't bomb the neighborhoods of Tongshen Island.

Because they are afraid of being resisted and hated by the people of the island...... Their original position was already very delicate.

But it doesn't matter if it's an out-of-ther.

Although they are not yet "human", they have also been infected with the xenophobic habits peculiar to the people of Tongshen Island.

But ordinary Tongshen Island people, although they disdain to contact with other people from the Sky Island. However, on the surface, they will not directly attack the inhabitants of the other Sky Islands, at least in front of the public. And these synths only exist as experimental materials, and they have no education. This makes their sense of morality rather weak.

Even emotionally, Russell knew that they were just a bunch of poor people destined to be worthless and abandoned...... But Russell's reason told him that it was possible for them to do such a thing.

And this also means that these synths are easy to be deceived.

The fact that the ale knew about this meant that their decision to attack the agents of the outer islands had been understood by the mages.

Perhaps these mages and uncensored people are also involved in and even led this conspiracy.

If he could bring the ale to Tongshen Island with him, perhaps Russell would be able to do it more conveniently.

But Russell thought about it all night and gave up on the idea.

- because after all, he is only "ultramarine", not "godfather".

Ale and strangulation of these mages, are not so easy to control.

The strangulation has been clearly felt by Russell...... Sooner or later, he will betray. Although on the surface, he claimed that as long as the godfather could suppress him, he would not betray, but the way the mage improved his abilities determined that his desires must gradually become stronger until he could no longer control himself.

Whereas malt liquor is different.

She was faithful to the Church Father in every sense of the word. But she always had her own ideas, and her godfather even beat her several times without changing her.

Presumably the last time the godfather mentioned ultramarines in his conversation with her, the ale learned that ultramarines were friends of the godfathers in Uptown. Because of this, when "Ultramarine" was plotted, she would directly save Russell.

During the whole process, she did not consult her godfather, nor did she tell the only "silence" who could take the initiative to contact her godfather.

This is obviously what she plans to do after she gets it done, and then go to the godfather to ask for a reward, if she doesn't do it, I'm afraid she won't even say it.

But on the other hand, as a mage and a high-ranking member of the Brokerage, he took the initiative to hijack the airship alone and delivered himself to the hero "Ultramarine...... If she fails, I'm afraid the godfather will kill her too.

From this contradiction, Russell can only read that unusually strong self-confidence and self-esteem.

If Russell had acted with Ale as "Ultramarine", perhaps Ale would have tried to control Ultramarine's actions in turn.

And Russell didn't want to tell her that "ultramarines are godfathers...... With the action and courage of ale, perhaps one day he will directly find the executive department.

…… Russell didn't want to misunderstand Delphinium.

Moreover, Russell would not have thought that the three "bodyguards" were there to protect his own safety.

That was obviously Amirus' eyes. Rather than protecting himself, it is more to monitor what Russell has done on Tongshen Island.

So Russell, after lulling Lin Ye to sleep, went back to the Tower of Babel, reported to Delphinium in advance, and gave her a preventive shot.

Fortunately, due to the delay in the news of different empty islands, Delphinium has not yet learned about it - when Happiness Island reported this news, it would probably be the morning news the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, just thinking about the frightened and desperate look on the face of the delphinium when he saw the news, Russell would feel worried.

Knowing this, Bad Day also decided to follow him incognito.

Originally, after learning that Russell had three bodyguards, he decided to go directly to Tongshen Island and wait for Russell...... But after learning the news, I couldn't sit still on a bad day.

Russell, on the other hand, was worried about the safety of Bad Day, so it was best for him not to come along......

Because he wasn't sure if those people would shoot down the airship again.

Although Russell could already turn around and return at this time, he did not intend to flee like that.

He's also a bit of a fire.

Whoever does all this will have to pay for it.

But he wasn't going to drag the bad days down for the sake of such things......

So in desperation, Bad Day explained to Russell for the first time the ability of his spiritual energy "Dead Sun".
