It was hard for Miles to imagine that after he had fled from the Avak Territory, he had gained the attention of the local lord through his psychic abilities after coming to the new territory.

And this lord is still a kind person who helped him in the first place, and even invited himself into a mysterious scientific research project, so that he can become an important member of the new faith organization of the Cult of Souls.

"Originally, I was unlucky enough to be able to transfer after coming to Nanling, not only made like-minded friends, but also found the meaning of life at work, and now I am an indispensable and important position in the Xiahui Lingling Spiritual Energy Research Laboratory."

"As for the ...... duties"

"It's being studied."

Since Miles showed psionic energy in the Black Marsh area in order to save his co-workers, he has become a big celebrity in the local gathering area - the leader of the local gathering area is smiling, this selection is excellent anyway, and the other pioneers also have more capital to brag about, after all, there is a psyker in our district, what do other districts have?

And for Miles himself, it is actually quite a comfortable thing to be the subject of Xia Huiling's research.

He didn't leave the wasteland collectors' gathering area, and he was still working with everyone to clear the wasteland, but sometimes, people from the research institute would take him to Xiahui Collar to conduct various data measurements, and Miles would also buy a little special goods and specialties for his fellow workers at that time, as well as tools that were difficult to buy in the gathering place, which faintly made him the most famous person in the entire gathering place except for the person in charge.

The process of being studied is nothing more painful, nothing more than being swept around by a few rays of light, lying on a metal bed and being poked around like a lump of pork, and receiving various hypnotic guidance to try to use it

It's just psionic - it sounds troublesome, and it's vaguely inhumane, but in fact, compared to the hard work of clearing the wilderness and sleeping in the wilderness, Miles would rather have been studied all his life.

At least the food is good!

Of course, as a native of Teuz, Miles also knows very well how horrific those truly 'inhumane, experiments' are......

And thinking of this, Miles will always inexplicably think of the white manager in the laboratory of Xia Huiling.

Not the Lord of Silverpeak, but a young researcher who called himself 'Shadow of the Past', he looked very immature, and although he was older than himself, he gave people the feeling of being younger than the lord.

At first, Miles thought that the other party was the elder brother or elder of the Silver Peak Lord, who was too focused on technology and didn't know much about the world, but in the end, he found that the two sides were not the same kind of people at all.

Although the shadow is paler and looks like a revenant, in fact, he is a far more gentle and kind person than the lord, and he is also quite kind to himself.

To put it simply, he is a good person.

No, not just to yourself...... Miles had even seen it at the research institute, and the Shadow would talk to himself about the radish in the hydroponic dish, cheering for its growth with joy, not at all like the head of a large laboratory, but like a little boy growing plants for the first time.

And the Silver Peak Lord, who is also a high-level alchemist......

The feeling he gave Miles was completely different.

The young man with excellent appearance, usually smiling at the people, and very friendly, always frowned slightly in the research room, always thinking about something.

The look in his eyes was intriguing, with a mixture of anticipation mixed with a calm, almost cold scrutiny, and he never hid it.

The time he has been in the Xiahui Territory is not short, and Miles can be sure that Ian, as a lord, undoubtedly loves his territory and everyone in the territory, and he has made a lot of efforts to develop the territory, not only to attract investment, but also to propose various new technologies, and pay a lot of money that other lords can use to enjoy themselves to invest in the construction of the territory.

For this reason, his life is also very simple, almost all day except for dealing with government affairs, he is immersed in the research institute, and there is almost no private life.

In contrast to this, even the Shadow Researcher could only follow in his footsteps - the Shadow would look at the radish seedlings in a daze, and occasionally look at the water

Pei Cai smirked, and the lord didn't have time to stop at all.

This is undoubtedly love.

But this kind of love is different...... It feels like a cold sun, shining on everyone, but it is difficult to give people a warm feeling.

In the words of his sister Cynthia, the lord gave him the same feeling as the Grand Duke of Thorin they had the privilege of meeting once.

Even......

"It's even more terrifying. It's even more terrifying."

Fearful, terrible.

Miles chewed on the word.

In the Terra continent, if a lord can be feared and feel terrible, it is actually a blessing, at least a lot of unnecessary troubles will be avoided, and the territory can maintain stability.

If the lord is just blindly amiable and loved, it will bring great trouble.

It's like a person, if you only have a smile, you will not be able to smile one day, only wearing armor and holding an 88mm anti-aircraft gun in your hand, you are still a sublimator who can fly to the sky and make people afraid and afraid, which can make you and the people around you laugh for a long time.

Moreover, Ian's character is also quite popular with people who like to understand that 'death must die).

On the first day he participated in the 'Experiment' project, Miles learned that he was being studied because he was a resident of the Grand Duke's and had an 'artificial soul' in his body.

His own artificial soul also caused his spiritual energy to fail.

And one's own psionic energy is very crucial, and it has an enlightening effect on some key psionic facilities in the territory, which is very valuable for reference.

That's why it's important to study. And the lord also told him plainly, whether he agreed or not, he would use various methods to study.

Miles knew all this from the very beginning.

He accepted it.

There's no need for a determined leader to take the initiative in some dishonorable way, is there? He was rude to himself, and he was not polite to the other party, not to mention that the other party did show kindness to him, and he still remembered this kindness.

Both Grand Duke Thorin and Viscount Avak were experimenting with people, and Ian was no different from them in this regard, and even the technology he used for his experiments may have come from the Azure City Laboratory.

But at the very least, Ian will talk to someone in advance, or even try it on himself first.

Miles couldn't refuse, and he was compensated.

"The experiment is over? Miles, come and learn the sword with me!"

Leaving the research institute, the young swordsman heard a hearty voice, and it was none other than Qing Chao, who was also the 'teacher' appointed by the lord for him.

According to Qingchao, his swordsmanship talent is quite good, although he is not as good as him, but he is also a genius, if he teaches it, he will definitely have some achievements in the future.

Not to mention, with psionic energy, Miles's swordsmanship thickness and defensive ability will far surpass him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Qingchao admires him very much - someone who is willing to stand up for his comrades, and even awaken his spiritual energy, is undoubtedly someone who can be trusted, who wouldn't appreciate it?

Such a second-level teacher, placed in the outside world, is indispensable for tuition fees of more than 1,000 thalers a year, and as compensation, it is completely qualified.

However, if he is a teacher, he is actually barely half a classmate.

After Miles finished learning swords with Qingchao, he had to go to Xia Huiling's recently opened new school to learn some basics.

- You call me a teacher! I'll call you a classmate! Let's go our separate ways!

In fact, in terms of mathematics, Miles' talent is obviously stronger than Qingchao, and it is estimated that in another month or two, it will be the situation where Qingchao teaches Miles swordsmanship and Miles teaches Qingchao mathematics.

Aside from literacy and basic mathematics, the most interesting thing about Xia Huiling is actually those 'miscellaneous courses' in history and geography.

Knowing how big the world is and the history of the world in which you live does not improve people's actual abilities, but it can broaden their horizons.

Mai

When Les knew that the South Ridge and the Western Realm where he was located were only a corner of the entire Terra continent, the inexplicable shock in his heart, and a feeling that he was extremely small compared to the world, appeared for the first time in his entire life.

During that time, Miles even spent money to buy a world map, and he looked at the names and terrain on the map obsessively, imagining the customs and customs in the far reaches of the world, thinking about whether there would be people living there, and what kind of monsters and ecology there were.

That was his dream, the reason why he wanted to make a living with his sword and go to the world beyond the Azure City - in the Azure City, he only had a vague idea, but in the Radiant Realm, this idea gradually turned into reality and gradually became clear.

Imagine. Imagination and curiosity are the most important things for human beings.

"In the future, I'll consider making a Terra Ball and making it into a toy that I will sell half and half give to everyone in my territory. Or popularize the rough map of the world, and strive to let Xia Hui lead every child, and there will be one in every family."

The lord smiled heartily when he saw Miles' interest in the world map, and he explained his next plan to Miles in detail: "Thinking about the distance in front of the map is the beginning of curiosity. If you can yearn for the land on the other side of the world, that is the foundation of your dreams."

"Children imagine how to conquer distant and unknown places, to fantasize about the beautiful landscapes of distant places, you can call it ambition, or desire, but this is the kind of thing I want to cultivate, whether good or bad, better than insensitive, because ignorance produces foolishness."

"Miles, do you want to go to the Holy Mountain, you want to go to the Nine Cold Silent Mountain? You can do it if you want to, but only if you really want to."

Really, of course it's true.

Will he be able to get there one day?

The icy sun, though not warm, unmistakably pointed the way ahead.

The young swordsman stared at the map in his hand, his mind filled with something called 'confidence, 'anticipation,' and so on.

Something incredibly beautiful.

......

"The new version of the artificial soul, through the comparison and correction of the 'Grand Duke's version of the artificial soul like Miles, and the 'primordial possession' of the Sequoia natives, in addition to the original function, an additional part of the 'mind network', a part of the 'meditation foundation', a part of the 'spirit machine core adaptability', and a part of the 'soul combination' structure."

"In addition, the new version of the artificial soul has eliminated the 'Dead King, function, which was originally based on a strong sublimator as the core, and revised it to a temporary Hades with the 'Spirit Weapon Core, as the core'.

This aspect of the function is still being studied, with the current energy sources in the territory can not be supported, it is currently only an experimental version, waiting for the development of new energy furnace core before practical consideration."

This was the result of Ian and Adbert working overtime for two weeks, almost day and night.

It has to be said that having a living entity like Miles as an object of observation is like putting an advanced engine in front of a group of mechanical engineers, and they have a former developer of the engine inside, and a full set of blueprints in their hands.

In this way, it is difficult to think about the efficiency of replication learning.

The essence of the artificial soul is to directly carry a part of the spiritual essence through the 'brain attachment structure', as a 'soul seed', which is constantly nourished by the holder's mind, and finally gives birth to a soul that belongs to the holder himself.

It's not a difficult technique, it's how to keep this soul stable and functional.

In the laboratory, it was not a human being who was the subject of the experiment, but several captured magical beasts.

The demonic beasts below the second energy level have no obvious intelligence, and even if they are at the second energy level, their wisdom is relatively primitive, and they need to exercise and learn for a long time to barely get close to humans.

In other words, by implanting them with artificial souls, feedback can be observed very quickly.

The first magical beast implanted with an artificial soul, the 'steel gibbon', originally had a wisdom close to that of a human child, and after receiving the artificial soul for a week, its mind was obviously much sharper, and it was watching

When Ian and the others came to observe it, he did not cringe because of instinctive fear, but was very cooperative in making various measurements.

One of the criteria for wisdom is 'to know the times.' It's not just that you run away when you see a strong person, but you see a strong party trying to fit in, trying to learn, trying to be one of them.

The steel gibbon apparently had intelligence, and it even began to learn from the way humans normally walk upright, trying to tidy up its nest in the laboratory and make it more tidy.

Don't get me wrong – wisdom doesn't make people like clean.

The steel gibbon just found out, and the other researchers would be happier if they cleaned up their nest.

"In a week, the artificial soul is just a sign that it has begun to assist the brain to think, connecting the various thinking areas, and it can have such a noticeable impact on the monster."

Ian watched the steel gibbon's every move, and he said to Adalbert on the side, "I have a guess that is not a guess, but let me ask a question first - why did the pre-era civilization design Warcraft?

"Huh? Well...... I think it's probably the result of some kind of biological tool going wild, right?"

Adbot was stunned, after learning about Ian's adventure in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, he also knew that the pre-epoch civilization had some information about Warcraft and Tinder, so he gave a more normal speculation: "For example, the crystalline dragon is obviously a shelter creature created by the pre-epoch civilization in order to survive in an extreme environment, imitating the real dragon. But strangely, none of the true dragons known to date have a different structure than crystallized dragons."

"Hmm. My guess is that this is because the Crystalline Dragons are mimicking some kind of more ancient dragons, at least the second generation of true dragons, not the third generation and later true dragons that our Terra civilization is familiar with.

Ian nodded slightly, he stared at the steel gibbon, and said softly, "But not all demonic beasts, they are all tools...... There are some demonic beasts that are obviously born with some kind of intelligence structure, but they need souls to play perfectly."

"Adbert...... I'm just saying one possibility."

"If you say, a planet, a continent, the abundance of essentia spiritual quality on it can make all the creatures on it naturally have souls."

"So can the intelligent beings on this planet still have wisdom after they are separated from such an environment?"

"The so-called 'intelligent beings,......

"Will it become a monster?"

Adalbert blinked, then shuddered.

"Ian, you mean ......" he swallowed, a little incredulous, "You mean, we have a lot of monsters on Terra, and it's probably ...... 'Alien Intelligent Life,?! Along with the Tinder

"Just a guess."

Closing his eyes, Ian didn't deny it, and he wasn't sure.

He just thought about it and speculated, "If you say that all the billions of demonic beasts on the Terra continent are all derived from Terra, this is completely impossible."

"Some low-level magical beasts may have been born in Terra, which is also recorded in the literature of the pre-era civilization, while some of the demonic beasts are powerful and perfect, but they do not have these ancient legends, and they do not have some tool characteristics, so they are obviously not made by the pre-era civilization."

"And it is extremely difficult for Tinder to catalyze this creature, which obviously has an ancient evolutionary history."

"After all, if it's not an important creature, why is it necessary to engrave it in the fire and design a priority catalyst?"

In this case, there is only one answer.

Many intelligent monsters with great potential are likely to be aliens who have lost their souls and lost their wisdom, so they have fallen into beasts.

It's also the 'alien' that Ian has been looking for in the past after knowing the truth about Tinder and aliens.

Ian has always been strange, if there is really a fire like Karin's flower, which is trying to integrate into or even encroach on the world of Terra, then there must be a more gentle fire that simply wants to reproduce his civilization in another planet.

In that case,

With the tolerance of the Terra civilization (mainly because it is too chaotic and the sublimators are too strong, no one can discriminate against anyone), how many alien tribes should exist?

It's like a fairy and a real dragon...... Although the goblins are real native beings, the existence of the pools is very alien.

But the results of years of research have pointed out an incredible possibility for Ian.

- Alien intelligent life, those aliens, have long been integrated with the Terra Sublimator system.

However, it is in the form of 'material'.

Of course, from the perspective of genetic inheritance, the sublimator who carries part of the genes of alien creatures may also be called half alien in terms of bloodline...... In this regard, it is impossible to cut off the bloodline of the alien star.

But from a civilizational point of view...... It's really a great sadness.

"Warcraft can't be allowed to get artificial souls."

Ian said this, his tone calm: "There are enough intelligent races in this world, and there are also intelligent beings in the Warcraft, such as the white and lonely governor of Icewind Dale, who is the fifth energy level, has his own lair, and is still cultivating the 'Butterfly Man, this intelligent species...... Chi must have sensed the source of the huge potential behind him."

"The very existence of the pool is the last remnant of an alien world in another heaven and earth."

"So, the robe wisely chose to blend in with humanity. After all, this is not the hometown of the pools, and the pools can no longer create a second hometown. This is the path that Terra Warcraft should take, to integrate into the human race, not to separate a few more factions."

Otherwise, the process of unifying Terra will be a lot more troublesome.

"Hmm."

Even Adbert would not object at such a time, he just quietly stared at the intelligent steel gibbon in front of him, revealing a complicated gaze.

"If one day, we will have to flee and leave our homeland......

He whispered to himself, "Then, if we on the other planet will also become such beasts?"

"Don't overthink it."

Ian shook his head and said, "It's like there's no faceless beast on Terra right now. Don't think too highly of intelligent life, don't think too low, some people have brains that are not as good as beasts."

"Who is the first batch of artificial souls for?"

This is indeed a problem.

Artificial souls are obviously popularized as soon as possible, not to mention that even the soul has a lifespan, which can at least allow people's souls to enter the core of the spirit machine for a longer period of time.

Before there is an artificial soul, a person dies and dies, and after an artificial soul, there is still a chance when he dies.

What a pity it is that this technology exists, but it dies before it becomes popular.

"Give it to the old man first, right?"

Adalbert thought the same way, and Ian nodded, "Then give those old people who are dying, let them cultivate artificial souls before dying. In this way, we can also see if the new version of the artificial soul has the same stability as the Grand Duke's version."

"Moreover, in this way, there are many cases within the Cult of Soul Worship that can be promoted, which can greatly increase the cohesion of the sect."

"It works best...... It's up to you to decide who you want to choose. After all, this is a study that you preside, and I don't interfere."

Adbert gave Ian a deep look.

At this time, the young man's tone did not have the slightest awe of life and death, only the arrogance and overlook of it as a tool manipulation, those aging lords, in his mouth, were like experiments, he gave them hope after death, just to observe his own purpose, whether his tools were good or not.

But Ian really brought hope. This is true, and no 'attitude' can change the fact.

The young lord's eyes shone with an almost icy light, but deep in his eyes, there was a burning desire for a new future brought about by artificial soul technology.

Such a desire, he used to be in the Grand Duke of Thorin

I've seen it.

But Ian is different from Archduke Thorin.

"He always looks to the path of the future, and the Grand Duke is only trying to prove the past right."

After Ian left, sitting in front of the radish seedlings he had planted with his own hands, the white-haired researcher of the Dead King lay in front of the petri dish, staring at the emerald green leaves in front of him.

Adbert muttered, "The Grand Duke is only trying to prove that his teacher, Inaga II, is in the right direction—they once had the hope of changing the entire civilization of Terra, and it was the Empire themselves who gave up on this God-given savior. He doesn't want to make people's lives better, he just wants to make the people of the empire regret it, let the emperor regret it, and make everyone regret it for life like him."

"And Ian, though the heir to the First Horseman, doesn't care about any of that. He has his own goal, although it is incomprehensible to me, to go to the high heavens and break the prison star, but for this goal, he will do everything and use everything."

【Souls......】

The Dead King asked softly about the soul in his body: [Do you think that I will help Ian like this, reproduce the artificial soul, and create a Hades that is different from the Grand Duke...... Is that really good? 】

The souls did not answer. The souls couldn't understand Ian either.

They just believe in Adbert. If Adbert believes, so do they.

"Forget it." Adbert sighed, and he stood up, "Just look at this petri dish and the agricultural building...... I believe in Ian too."

"He's a bit bad, but he's ...... in the world of Terra."

"It's a little bad, but it's already a relatively good person."

......

Recently, Roland, who has been exploring at the mouth of the gorge, has finally finished his work, and he even led a group of dwarven brothers to build a park that has begun to take shape in the gorge, and with the help of Xiou, the foundation inside the park has been laid a lot.

He returned to the Glowing Realm, and was rewarded by Ian again - not only for completing the mission, but also for Roland for setting Ian up with the Dwarves of the Falling Star Hills.

This is the true meaning of Ian's assessment: a technician really wants to find, there are still many alternatives, and if Roland can't even use his own relationship, it proves that he is destined to be a bottom as a researcher.

Without his own team organization ability, no connections, and even a brother and sister, what is this kind of researcher going to do?

He will only eat the funds!

And now, Roland has successfully proven his ability and intelligence.

He was about to go home and show off to his father, Moda, to prove his abilities.

But as soon as he got home, he learned a piece of news that alarmed him.

- His father had become critically ill a few days earlier, and was now delirious and was being treated urgently in the ward.
