The city of halflings has suffered an old sin tonight.

First the attack of the Great Gon Fishmen destroyed the port area, then the prototype 11 released by Bach the Elder nearly slaughtered the entire city, then the mechanical rebellion and the gnolls siege, and then one of these things alone was enough for a halfling to drink a pot, and as a result, almost all the bad things broke out in the same night.

Being able to survive until now is really a blessing that halflings have won for themselves in the past hundreds of years of abiding by peace and accumulating virtue and burning incense.

But no matter how long the night is, the dawn will always come, and after the bombardment of the mighty sun, the immediate threat to the halfling city has finally dissipated completely.

Almost immediately after confirming the state of the battle at the front, the Steam Lords reassured the hearts of the people by announcing victory to the long-feared people, while the enthusiasm of the halflings after confirming that they had survived the chaotic war, and the joy of the aftermath turned the ruined city into a sea of joy in the sunshine today.

The shelter was filled with cheers.

Even the buildings that were burned in the flames were crowded with celebratory crowds, some officials spontaneously brought gifts to the front line to work for the army, and some halfling people who desperately wanted to return to their homes began to clean up and repair all parts of the city.

I need to complete the response restart of the Life Greenhouse project immediately, I've been waiting too long, we've all been waiting too long.

Maintenance Sentinel Mosna stood up, pulling the cable from Penny's database as she adjusted the results of the instrument in her hand, glancing at Murphy and giving the vampire a wink.

From the moment Bach Sr. encoded Penny's consciousness and deposited it in Prototype 11, the girl could no longer escape the Administrator's control.

"He wouldn't do that."

Respond to the code unlock.

"I have fulfilled my promise, Sarivo, Penny is alive, stronger and purer than before, and there is no need for my life."

Then, like a bird that has lost power, this cool spaceship plunged straight down to the ground from a height of 10,000 meters.

As you can see, I have the power. ”

"If I'm dead, Bertie will die, Bertie is dead, and now Penny's situation is definitely going to go berserk, and you've seen her destructive power with your own eyes.

The only thing we need to confirm now is that this erasure of memories is permanent? Or is it temporary? ”

Permission authentication is enabled. Welcome back! The harness of the greenhouse of life.

Old Bach looked at the unlocking progress bar in front of him to advance to 99%, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, and the moment 100% of the information popped up, the entire sleeping greenhouse of life seemed to come to life.

Considering that Penny's current consciousness has been digitized, I can simply conclude that the poor girl has permanently lost a part of her soul.

The scholar screamed, and there was no longer any more maneuvering, and the resuscitation program sensed that something was wrong and immediately tried to terminate the code response within a second.

Murphy, the Governor, was embarrassed by the fact that the halflings were a race with a strong sense of sociality and order, and that the Governor of Murphy was ashamed of the Governor compared to the little men who had already taken on the task of rebuilding the city, and that the Transians under his command had no merit other than bravery and fearlessness, and that Miriam's civil servants should have come to Port Chardo to see how a truly effective and efficient management system worked.

"Are you the one who hurt me and destroyed the forces I serve? Is it your factor that has made me who I am now? So, should I hate you? ”

In a hidden place, old Bach, who opened his eyes from the creature pod and crawled out, put on his clothes, said to Sarifo Shadowblade, who was standing in front of him:

"I thought it was just a simple search and transportation job, but I didn't expect it to evolve into what it is now with Murphy's intervention, but fortunately, everything we were looking for has been found."

But that's okay!

"I don't think you have to do that, Bertie, it's nice that you want to help Penny recover her memories, but you also have to consider whether she really needs those memories that are gone with the wind. Come to think of it, is it really good for her to learn about the past?

“？？？”

"Stop! I command you! ”

"Me"

Go ahead.

"There is no need to deliberately hide these two, they are both parties, and they are qualified to know the status quo. Say, Mosna, is our Miss Penny still in a saving situation? ”

Bach Sr.'s erasure of most of Penny's memories was a stroke of genius, which meant that the slave owner was just a familiar stranger to her, so if Sarifo Shadowblade took one wrong step, a 'master and apprentice' drama played out before his eyes.

But Murphy shook his head and said:

The scholar was stunned as he looked at the prompt that suddenly popped up in front of him, and he didn't even have time to think about it, but the word "formatting" alone made him feel that a catastrophe was coming.

"Well, my Tracey, you deserve to be awarded the Employee of the Year award."

During the time he was re-cloned, Lord Resuscitation was working diligently on unlocking the response code, which was 95% complete.

He looked at his own blood and said:

"Penny is a blank slate, she only believes in you, so where her future will go depends on what kind of knowledge and emotions you instill in her, and in your eyes I see your cherishing and hidden love for Penny.

High in the night outside, the slave owner, who was sitting in the cockpit and thinking about how to proceed with the plan, was stunned for a moment, and he saw the control console of the fully automatic shuttle ship in front of him flicker strangely and then the phrase "Good luck to the passengers when the master program format is over", and then all the lights went out in unison.

But the truth is, now you have another chance to decide your own future

Hold on and don't waste it.

But it's too late.

The process must have been uncomfortable, but Penny behaved very well-behaved, and Bertie kept holding her mechanical hand next to her, encouraging and reassuring her lover in this way.

The sentinel, who was able to truly perceive emotions because of his sister's special emotional core, reached out and patted Penny's mechanical shoulder with some regret, and she said with empathy:

You underestimate your superiority too much. ”

Murphy grabbed Tracey's waist and said in a cheerful tone:

Perhaps fate is here to give you a second chance, to give you the freedom to decide what kind of attitude you want to walk in this world.

"You were in the service of an organization that was truly evil in every sense of the word, and you have been severely punished and resurrected as a pure body made by the Creator.

Old Bach blinked and said:

"Although there is a little problem at the end of the consciousness code, it is not irreparable, your disciple has abandoned the weakness, and only needs you to go and bring her back.

He pushed off the Steam Lords' request to invite him to a meeting of the leaders of the many powers, and instead gave the task to Professor Malcolm, who was already waiting at the Crimson Keep, and at most by noon she would be able to reach Port Chardo to represent Transcia in the various camps.

With the slave owner able to assassinate you before, and now that there is such a direct conflict, it's no surprise that an assassination is on the agenda, and perhaps the terrible Shadow Elf Assassin is lurking somewhere in the port of Chardon to surprise you. ”

All the things that happened in the port of Chardo can be used as a series of connections and transitions between the two expansions, and the Creator's Land Computing Unit under the city can be used as the main quest for the Creator's Legacy DLC, which can be smoothly connected to the Songhai Empire's plot that we are about to advance in the Land of Origin, and even the 'Creator's Oracle' that was conveyed to the entire continent through my mouth can be widely circulated, which is also a good story. ”

The biobank information is poured into the laboratory system and launched. The life spreading program is self-checking drops! Special command input permission detected and judged to be "Hand of the Creator"!

Transfer of Permissions

Instructions to format are currently detectable by all low- and medium-level permission drivers that have been received. Ready to execute!

Murphy was confident.

Mosna shrugged her shoulders and said in her heart that her chief was really good at pretending, and Murphy had the permission to format all the databases under the Creator system, in other words, as long as he wanted, he could format Penny's consciousness data again at this time.

As for you, Bertie."

If you really care about her and really love her, you should know that for her now, accepting reality and looking forward to the future is the happiest thing.

Get on your shuttle boat and bring your disciples back, I promise you'll see them again soon, and if you don't like the pure mechanical body, I can clone new bodies for them, just like I did.

"As I said, what the Creator failed to accomplish, I will take it upon myself!"

Murphy himself wasn't going to get involved in the discussion phase, and there were no young players in attendance, so he wouldn't be able to get any better out of performing on his own.

Murphy gave a subtle smile and said:

The moment the data memetic program written by the Sentinel himself took effect, countless copies were copied in a quantum entanglement manner and sent to all target individuals that met the formatting instructions, and the newly activated greenhouse of life fell into a deep sleep like a lazy man who had turned over.

"You should, but you can also choose not to."

But now, I must ask you to leave, Sarivo.

"I've had amnesia, I know how it feels, but I still had a complete sense of self then, and now Miss Penny has completely lost her old personality, like a newborn born born on the consciousness of the past, pure and powerful, but that's all that's left."

Bertie's blood-colored eyes were full of tenderness and a hint of subtle worry, he didn't care what Penny had become, he didn't worry that Penny would suddenly lose control and strangle him, even if the mechanical hand he was holding could easily raze a building under normal force.

What's more, Murphy really has a lot of urgent things to deal with.

"Yes! The premise is that we can find a high-spec, functioning Creator mechanical maintenance unit. ”

Murphy looked at his mechanical pocket watch and said:

Lady Rose is furious at the destruction of Mejewa City, and the wrath of the Abyss God will ultimately be carried out by me. ”

——

"Thank you, slave master."

"Are you sure?"

No one has ever been as close as a scholar to this miracle, and no one has understood as much as he does about the impact on the world once the project gets back up and running.

Sarifo Shadowblade will surely come to you.

Trith, who had also experienced the wrath of darkness and was very tired, leaned against Murphy's side, and she looked Penny up and down in front of her with a "dog planner" gaze, and said:

"This guy's appearance and its sophisticated mechanical beauty are simply on the G-spot of male players, and her own tragic story and amnesiac personality can also trick a wave of tears from female players, and most importantly, she has absolute strength beauty!

You already know that I can encode souls, so the vampire's so-called unsolvable blood pact has become a joke, bring him back, and I'll complete a 'mechanical ascension' for Bertie just like I did for Penny."

Tracey narrowed her eyes and said:

Although it is theoretically possible to recover memory data by reading the characteristics of the hardware, that technology requires strong hardware support, and it is unlikely that such advanced devices will survive on the continent at present. ”

Sarifo put away his dagger and turned to disappear into the darkness, and Old Bach let out a sigh of relief, it was a terrible feeling to be targeted by such an assassin, he touched his neck, and walked quickly to the main control AI computing unit that had been carried off the shuttle boat and connected to the console of the Life Greenhouse project.

"And sure enough, only you know me best, and I guessed my next plan at once, the teaser of 'Legacy of the Creator' that we are preparing needs to be modified a little bit, adding Penny and Bertie to the plot as important NPCs, and then officially introducing the information of the 'Twilight' faction and scholar faction in the main plot.

"It's okay!"

Therefore I would advise you, give her love, don't give her hatred!

It may be my responsibility to make the same mistake the first time, but it's a bit too stupid for you to repeat it a second time. Who made Penny and you who they are now, I think you have the answer in your mind. ”

This makes the Strength Party lose themselves in the power of the flaming punches, and she is a better guide NPC than Mosna for the next expansion. ”

Murphy stepped forward, looked at Penny's glowing mechanical eyes, and said:

"I'm going to fulfill the duties of a dog planner, and the plot has turned into a crisis war, and my alien cuties are going to have a lot of trouble, you see, I accidentally did something wrong and have to apologize to them.

Murphy smiled and said to Mosna:

"Import the memory data of the entire process of the Godkiller War into Penny's core, and don't hide the things I did in it."

The first thing to do was to discuss with Triss and Mosna what to do with Prototype 11 Penny.

I'm not going to stop you from leaving him and going back to the dark cult life, and maybe you'll think I'm hypocritical.

Bertie said loudly from the sidelines:

Of course, if we still want to meet again as enemies on the battlefield in the future, then don't expect me to show mercy, and by the way, bring me a message to the slave owner, let him wash his neck and wait!

Mosna crossed her waist with one hand, shook her head in the same tone as the expression of an old military doctor when he saw an incurable disease, and said:

Otherwise, the extent of her current data corruption is unsolvable, the consciousness encoding program used by old Bach has been modified by that guy, and the part of the program used to delete the emotion module is not recorded in the Sentinel Legion's database.

"Are you sure you want to do that? Sir. ”

Now that both of his disciples are in your hands, and Bertie has been transformed into a vampire by you, I think you might as well strengthen your security recently.

This cool-looking creator machine will stay quietly in the embassy room, with the shadow elf vampire Bertie who makes her feel close, her memories have been deleted by old Bach, but fortunately, the emotional module has been preserved, and she can communicate effectively with others after the cold mechanical mind is suppressed.

Well, look at the look in your eyes, do you think I'm afraid that Penny will choose to be hostile to me when she learns about the past?

No.

"The results of the inspection are in."

But academics aren't the unluckiest.

"It's okay to forget, I remember, I'll tell you everything we've ever done since we were young, Penny, don't be afraid, you'll remember."

"The origin of these two guys. The slave owners would not give up on them, and it was clear from the fact that the fellow was willing to travel thousands of miles to the port of Chardo with his disciples to 'heal' her, and that fellow was an emotional villain.

Looking down from the platform where the scholar is located, the main body of the entire astonishing scale of the Life Greenhouse project is quietly hidden under the earth like a sleeping city, like a real mechanical labyrinth.

"You'd better be like that."

Of course, this would be a matter of talking about these topics at a time when everyone was happy, so Murphy took a decisive refuge back in the embassy after leaving the battlefield.

As Mosna imported the memory data, Penny took 0.05 seconds to read the information and complete the calculation and analysis, and then under Bertie's gaze, Penny said in a confused electronic voice:

"Little players are going to love her to death."

"It's a good idea, but there's a problem."

As for Bertie, I'm sorry I didn't take care of him.

Playing with a Shadow Spider Fang dagger, Sarivo Shadowblade looked at the freshly cloned old Bach in front of him with a dead man's gaze, and said:

"What about my disciples? What are you going to say about Penny and Bertie? I kept them with you, and you promised to take care of them! That's how you took care of it? ”

Mosna asked:

"If Penny does get out of control because of this, IMHO, it's too late for you to run and put on the power armor now."

"It's okay, show her."

I'm not going to interfere with your choice, Penny, I just think your power should be put to better use.

Not only did it delete Penny's memory files, but it also shredded the root files and released them, meaning that those memories were permanently gone.

The decision-making logic of prototype 11 hesitated for a moment, and she "looked" at Bertie's eyes full of tenderness, and some did not know how to refuse such help, until Murphy coughed and said:

Murphy and Tracey stood in the doorway, watching as Mosna connected to Penny's database with a special device to search and search.

The power of that thing is quite amazing.

This is the "surprise" that Murphy has in store for them.

As he said, the era of brandishing the stolen sword to show off his might is over.
