016 Iron Man (5)
Marven was full of food and drink, got up from his seat and said to the city lord, "Dear Mr. City Lord, I want to ask you a question. Why did you enact a law that makes mom and dad abandon their children? ”
The city lord looked at the little iron man sitting next to Marven and said to Marven, "Are you going to help that kid next to you speak?" I saw that his leg was broken. If you have a broken leg, you can't work. Those who could not work, both adults and children, were thrown out of the city and were not allowed to enter the city. ”
"But he's just a child. Can't even his parents take care of him and care for him? Don't people have a little love for him? ”
"Love? I know what you're talking about. The lord put the cup down and said, "I used to have a heart that could love. ”
"What? Have you had a heart before? Marven was surprised.
He thought that all the people on this star were heartless.
"Yes. There have been before. The lord replied.
"And then?"
"According to the law, I surrendered my heart."
"Huh? Can this also be turned in? Marven thought this kind of thing was incredible.
"Yes. Since then, no one on Ironman is allowed to have a heart. ”
"Why?"
"Because of the law, of course."
It's the law again. Is there no other reason than these inexplicable laws?
Marven was furious. What kind of law is this? Even the heart is not allowed.
"Kids their age." The lord of the castle pointed to the little iron man and said, "When they were born, the midwives took their hearts away. ”
"This ...... It's cruel. I don't even have the right to choose. ”
"Hahaha." The lord laughed, "The power to choose? Do you know? If a person has a heart, then the world is chaotic. ”
"How so?" Marven was not convinced.
Isn't it good that everyone on the earth has a heart?
"If you really want to know why this is happening, I can introduce you to the king. He is the greatest thinker on our Iron Man planet, and he will give you a satisfactory answer. Go ask him yourself. And I can assure you that the esteemed king will be of great interest to your master. ”
My master? Oh, the lord of the castle is referring to Whiskers.
Marven was even more upset.
After lunch, the city lord sent a bronze hat iron man and a team of knights to escort Marven and them to the capital.
The road to the capital was very long, and they walked for a day and a night to arrive.
The capital was a much bigger city than the one they had visited, and its black walls were imposing.
Entering the city is like entering a black forest. Countless black high-rise buildings block out the sun. It's daylight, but it's like night in the city.
Whiskers couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and turned on the high beams.
But not far ahead, several iron men came and knocked on the window: "This gentleman, according to the law, it is forbidden to shine a flashlight in people's eyes on the street." ”
Whiskers had no choice but to turn off the high beams (which is what Iron Man called a flashlight) and turn on the low beams.
After walking through this black steel city for half an hour, there was a sudden light in front of me.
Marven saw a scene that shocked him - a tall castle with glittering gold standing in front of him.
In this dark city, the light on this castle is as dazzling as the sun's rays.
"This is the palace where the king lives, and it's very dilapidated, isn't it?" The Iron Man in the Bronze Hat introduces Marven.
"In tatters?" Mia looked at Marven in confusion.
Even Mia knew the word to describe something that was very worn and old. But the castle looked as new as a freshly opened toy.
Entering the Golden Castle is like entering a golden wonderland. Countless glittering statues, fountains, columns, steles, decorations, and even the sun dimmed.
