Chapter 680: Your Friend Is Killing!
..
It was only then that Matthew noticed that the golden-haired golden-dog-like construct was also a Legend!
One had to know.
Legendary constructs were rare, even in the Alliance.
There was only one registered in the Hundred Cities. That was Tower Genie 177.
He didn't know where this Hera came from, but it seemed like she had a deep relationship with the Black Suo Mountain Fortress.
Hera looked at Matthew with interest.
" What a handsome young man. Would you like to discuss the Art of Retarding with me?"
Matthew asked curiously,
"What kind of discussion?"
Hera smiled and said,
"Come, follow me to a small room.
" Let's chat for a while. After that, you'll willingly accept my mental retard spell on you."
Matthew was on guard.
Hera asked,
"Do you believe me?"
Matthew shook his head.
"I don't believe you."
Hera said,
"Then let's give it a try?"
Matthew waved his hand.
"No need."
Black Suo Mountain was not an orderly and good place. It could imprison a large number of criminals. The filth of this fortress itself was famous in the Alliance.
How could Matthew go to the small room with her?
This action itself seemed like it could only be done by a person who had been mentally retarded!
Hera was instantly disappointed.
"It seems that you are also a boring human."
Matthew replied casually,
" Indeed, but I can introduce my friend 177 to you when I'm free. You should have a lot in common regarding the topic of mental retard."
Hera suddenly showed a look of disdain.
"Don't mention that pervert!
"Remember to stay away from him!
" That fellow's abnormal level is second to none, even among us constructs."
Matthew nodded in his heart.
It seemed that Hera knew about 177's existence, but 177 had never mentioned that there were others of his kind in the Alliance. What was the reason?
At this moment.
Alexander came over and introduced her,
" This is Hera, a Legendary construct, the queen of Black Suo Mount Prison. She was created by Lady Isabelle when she was travelling the Astral World and brought back to the Prime Material World…"
Hera interrupted again.
" No, I wasn't created by that crazy woman. I'm a naturally born construct!"
Alexander shrugged, obviously not willing to dwell on this topic.
Matthew asked curiously,
" Are constructs born naturally?"
Hera said matter-of-factly,
" Of course. Where else would the iron cans in the Storluk industry come from?
" Mechanical life is not as complicated as natural life in terms of material composition. However, when it comes to soul elements, we are much more abundant than your so-called natural people!
" Therefore, in theory, it is easier for mechanical life forms to become Legends than natural life forms.
" It's just that the conditions for the birth of mechanical life are more demanding. I'm not talking about robots created by you mages with third-rate Awakening. They're just a collection of programs, not real mechanical life."
Matthew nodded thoughtfully.
He could feel the difference between Hera and 177 and normal automatons.
The spirituality that only living beings possessed was vividly reflected in their bodies.
It was even a little too spiritual!
" Mechanical life is indeed fascinating."
He complimented.
Hera beamed.
"You're right, kid. I like you.
" If one day you want to abandon your human body and become a mechanical life, I can help you.
" In fact, the Seven Saint Alliance has already researched the transformation ritual of mechanical ascension very thoroughly in theory, even more thoroughly than how to transform into a lich. However, there are very few people who carry it out. I guess this is because they lack a pioneer role model. I have high hopes for you.
" I'm not lying to you. Mechanical life is more complicated than natural life at the soul level. According to my research, mechanical ascension is a shortcut to becoming a Legend. I once saw a mechanical life in a higher dimension in my dream. He could freely switch between mechanical life and natural life. One moment, he was a machine, and the next moment, he became a human.
That was not the effect of the transformation spell, but a true form transformation. I'm afraid it's close to the high-dimensional realm that the Calamity Mage mentioned before she left!"
Seeing Hera confidently preaching to Matthew about the benefits of becoming a mechanical life form, Matthew was shocked.
Alexander couldn't sit still anymore.
He could not help but ask,
"Hera, can the things you see in your dreams be used to prove the greatness of mechanical life?
"Is it possible that it doesn't exist?"
Hera immediately asked,
" You've already accepted the fact that constructs can dream, so why are you still questioning whether the object in my dream exists?"
Alexander laughed dryly.
He no longer answered Hera's question and turned to Matthew, introducing him awkwardly,
" Hera is the top debater in the Alliance Debate Competition. Her debating ability is the best in the Alliance. I'm afraid even Lady Isabelle is no match for her.
" The Alliance Debate Competition was also permanently suspended because of her. As a debater, she's too strong."
Matthew was puzzled.
"That's not necessary to stop it, right? She can be the judge."
Alexander shook his head.
" Hera used to be a judge, but when she was a judge, she always liked to refute both sides of the debate, making the other debaters doubt their lives. In the end, that debate became her one-woman show. Everyone watched her fight herself, and in the end, she collapsed."
