Walking through the granaries and seeing the busy figures of the slow-moving robots around the granaries, Lucius seemed to be able to see the lively scene of the entire granary many years ago.

At that time, this wheat field, which was protected by two gods and gathered the top mechanical technology of the Brotherhood at that time, was probably second to none even in the entire continent, and could provide high-quality barley to tens of thousands of people in almost the entire western region without any manual labor.

When a truckload of grain travels from the wheat field to various places, it should be the greatest relief for those who built this wheat field.

"It's a pity that such a farm built with the top technology of mechanical civilization is now just a granary for storing grain, and this result is far from the original builder's idea. Lucius couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the calm wheat field and the slow-moving robot that was in disrepair.

"Click," Lucius's exclamation had just ended, and a faltering robot approached.

To Lucius's surprise, the oncoming robot was standing there staring at him, with two spiritual lights flashing in the black hole metal eye sockets.

Through the light spots in the other party's metal eye sockets, Lucius could feel that the faltering and seemingly old and dilapidated robot in front of him was different from the other robots on the farm, and should have the ability to think independently like No. 1 and No. 2.

"Independent thinking" is the basis for the wisdom of living beings, and only when they can think independently will they memorize all kinds of knowledge and eventually transform knowledge into their own wisdom.

Lucius and the robot looked at each other for a long time, carefully examining the robot's broken body.

Soon Lecius discovered that the robots did not seem to have a sound device, and it seemed that the original maker had not thought about making the robots speak.

But the robot in front of him, the light spots in the metal eye sockets of the black hole, indicate that he has the ability to think and discern.

After pondering for a moment, Lucius tried to communicate with the other party: "Hello, you are the manager here?"

Seeing that Lucius took the initiative to communicate with him, the light spots in the robot's eye sockets suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be very excited.

He shook his body that was almost falling apart, then raised his arm and gestured to Lucius a few times.

However, Lucius didn't understand what the robot was trying to say.

The robot also seemed to see Lucius's confusion, stopped gesturing and reached out to pull Lucius, and slowly turned around and walked towards the depths of the farm.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and found that Lucius had not followed, so he stopped and waved his arms as if to signal Lucius to follow him.

Seeing this, Lucius thought about it, and then took a step to keep up with the robot, and he also wanted to follow and see what this robot with independent thinking and discernment ability wanted to tell him.

Although the robot has some inconvenient legs and feet, it is not slow to walk.

Especially on the whole farm, the robot is more comfortable with the environment that he is already familiar with.

Many times, he was able to make full use of the terrain to compensate for the inconvenience of his mechanical legs.

Although he didn't know where the robot was going to take him, Lucius tried his best to keep up with the other party's pace, and at the same time took the opportunity to carefully observe the environment of the path, and found that the granaries of the entire farm seemed to be built randomly, but if he looked at them, he could see that each granary should be specially designed.

It looks like the granaries don't look like warehouses for storing grain, but they look like beasts crawling there.

The beast crawled there, staring at everyone who entered it, and an invisible sense of oppression came over him.

And as he went deeper, smelling the smell of metal and oil, the sense of oppression of the beast creeping became stronger, and through the hazy light, Lucius had clearly seen that the granaries were revealing the brilliance of metal, and it was obvious that those granaries were no longer wooden before, but should be made of metal throughout.

Lucius exclaimed in his heart: Who built these granaries? Why did they make them of metal? Could there be any other use for these granaries?

"Ding, ding, dang, dang," came the sound of metal colliding, intending to Lucius's thoughts.

Lucius, who suddenly came to his senses, followed the sound and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

But I saw the staggering robot, standing in front of a huge metal granary, struggling to shake a metal rocker.

As the rocker continued to shake, the huge granary slowly cracked to both sides, and an empty warehouse full of various metal equipment appeared in front of Lucius's eyes.

When the whole warehouse was fully opened, the metal robot skillfully put down the joystick in his hand, staggered into the warehouse, rummaged through a pile of rusty metal parts for a long time, and finally found a strange metal box.

The cyborg stuck the metal box in his throat.

"Hello, outsider, I, my name is Carberry. ”

It was like a screeching sound of metal rubbing, emitted through a metal box stuck in the robot's throat.

However, Lucius was still surprised to hear the robot Cabery speak, especially when he didn't expect that the other party would be able to find the sound device by himself.

Surprised, Lucius looked at Carberry carefully, thought for a moment and said, "You are different from those machines outside, you have been injected with demons?"

"Yes, Chen said that I am different from them, and he wants me to be different from them. ”

"Chen, is that the one who made you?"

"Yes, Chen is my maker, he is also my best friend, and my teacher, he taught me a lot of things, but I was too stupid, I didn't learn a lot of things, and later, Chen and the others left, and never came back, Chen told me that if they didn't come back, I would have to leave here quickly, but I didn't leave. ”

Hearing Cabery say this, Lucius asked with some confusion, "Why didn't you leave?"

This time, Cabery was silent for a long time, lost in thought like a living being.

After waiting for a long time, Carberry said: "I can't leave others behind, I want them to become like me, Chen once taught me, but I didn't learn, I, I always can't do well." ”

"Click" As soon as Carbony's words fell, Lucius heard a noise behind him.

When he turned his head to look, he noticed that many of the robots on the farm, as if they had received some kind of calling, had all gathered behind him.

Kabery looked at the cyborgs and said with a sad seem, "I can't let them be me, I can't keep them clean, Cabery is a fool." ”

Hearing this, Lucius slowly walked up to Cabery and reached out to pat Cabery on the shoulder.

"You don't have to feel guilty of yourself Cabery, you have done a good job, if they didn't have you, I'm afraid they would have been turned into a pile of scrap metal, Cabery, will you follow me? ”

Hearing this, the robot Cabery raised his head to look at Lucius, as if he didn't understand what Lucius meant for a moment.

But after only a moment's pause, Cabery suddenly struggled to get down on one knee and gave Lucius a standard chivalric salute.

"Before leaving, Chen told me that if one day someone could understand what I was saying and that person would allow me to follow him, then I would have a real new life, and that person would be the master to whom I had dedicated my life. ”

Hearing the words of the robot Caberry, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that that Chen is a guy who abides by the rules of knighthood. ”

Hearing this, Kabury asked with some doubts: "Master, isn't it good to abide by the rules of knighthood?"

"No, it's not bad, it's just that I didn't expect that the person who was able to make you would abide by the chivalric tradition. ”

Seeing that Cabery seemed to understand or not, Lucius simply stopped dwelling on this topic, and instead asked Cabery: "Cabery, how much grain is stored in this wheat field now?"

"Master, since the establishment of this place, a long time ago, there would be an endless stream of people coming here to get food during the harvest season, but then gradually there were only two groups left, who would come twice a year to pull grain, and then only one group of people remained, who came to pull grain four times a year, but in the last three years, no one has come to pull grain. ”

"Now, the whole granary, the outermost warehouses are full, because no one has come to pull away the grain for three years, so more and more grain is hoarded in the granary, and this year's new grain has been harvested and has begun to pile up in the metal granary. ”

After listening to Caberry's introduction, Lucius had a general understanding of the granary.

It seems that due to the continuous pressure of the Holy See, the disputes in various parts of the continent are escalating, and even the Temple of Nature has no time to take care of this barley field.

After thinking about it, Lucius glanced at the robots gathered around and asked Kabrie, "Kabrie, do you have a way to transport it?"

"Transport, master, do you mean to let us transport the grain? However, as Chen said before, we are only responsible for taking care of this granary, and we do not need to do the work of transporting the grain, and besides, there were partners who were ordered to participate in the transportation before, and they never came back after leaving. ”

Hearing this, Lucius could feel that Cabery had a deep fear of the outside world in his heart.

That's why he stayed in the barley field, and even though he already had the ability to think for himself, he didn't think about leaving.

Just as Lucius pondered how to explain to Cabriel, Belletti and Pan Qiu rushed to the scene.

Pan Qiu panted and said, "Lucius, hurry, go and take a look, again, there are a large number of monsters pouring over here, it seems that Du Liniang and they are afraid that they are in danger." ”

Without waiting for Lucius to respond, Beludi immediately said sternly: "I'm afraid it's really dangerous, a large number of monsters are gathering here, and from that isolation rift, there is a faint extremely powerful aura, that corrupted minotaur seems to be planning to use some kind of terrible forbidden art." ”

After listening to the words of Beludi and Pan Qiu, Lucius couldn't help frowning, and through the words of the two, he already felt the severity of the situation.

When Carberry saw Belletti and Pan Qiu, he first stood there in horror and did not speak.

But when he saw the frown of Lucius, he seemed to be touched in some way, and struggled for a long time before he spoke: "Lord, master, if you are in need, Ka, Karberry can help you, Chen, he, he left something before leaving, maybe it will be useful to you." ”

Hearing the cacophony's screeching voice, Belletti and Pan Qiu were shocked.

But before the two of them could exclaim, Lucius preemptively said: "Carberry, now you take Belletti to see what Chen left behind, I must go out to help now, otherwise my partner will be in danger, Belletti You can trust, she is a mechanical demon like you." ”

Without giving Belletti, Pan Qiu, and Kabury time to react, Lucius grabbed Pan Qiu and ran quickly out of the farm.
