Eldy: You have to know that if it's really your parents' ghosts, then it's going to explode.
As soon as the bombing happened, someone should have already solved it.In addition, if the things of the year are really still inside.
Curtain, once the undead happen, the black hand that should be moved the most.I know that after I got the news, I have been observing whether there is anyone or organization to solve the undead incident, but there has been no one.I didn't want to wait, because I've heard that ordinary undead can't stay on the earth for too long, and I don't want to miss this one in 10,000 opportunity.It seems that Miss Hilbert also does not understand the difference between undead and ordinary souls.Well, let's talk it over.Eldie dragged Leon out.Closing the door, Leon asked: Looks like you want to promise?
Otherwise, it will be directly denied, and he will not be allowed to come out to discuss.Yes, our governess also hides a lot of things.But I think it's an opportunity to train myself, after all, I know that you're behind me.Eldy smiled.I'm also interested in the undead.Leon nodded.We agreed, give the money first.After going back, Leon stretched out his hand, you don't need to pay for the rest of your life, five thousand gold coins are enough.Tomorrow we will go to the village of Siut.But having said that, we can't be sure that there must be undead there.So, if there are no undead, we will return the gold coins to you.If there is an undead, even if it is not your parents or your fiancé, or the ghost of anyone in the know, we will not return the gold to you.Yes.Miss Hilbert nodded, and I was mentally prepared for that!
Also, we're going to take the knights of the Church of the God of Nature with us.Eldi went on to say, "You can rest assured that the knight won't drive you away."
And what we're going to investigate is that the research institute in the village of Siut, a private territory, is abandoned, but it still belongs to the second academy, right?
Even if you are investigating your father's whereabouts, we are not qualified to trespass on someone else's private land.This is also negotiable, not afraid of accidents, but not too careless.Miss Hilbert's face turned pale, and her breath froze briefly: I—I didn't expect you to be right.She pressed her chest, and I do as you please.Even if the deal had been concluded, Miss Hilbert had been generous in giving Leon the bearer draft from the bank at that time.Leon sighed for a moment, it is easy for advanced awakened people to make money, so they went to church with Eldi and walked.Leon said, "Will you go with us tomorrow to do some private work?"
The official identity of the Church of the God of Nature is needed to make a sign.Maurifio asks: Is there any compensation for me?
Leon said, "I have a reward of five thousand gold coins, how much do you want?"
It's enough to give me five hundred, and being a knight is poor.Good.The matter was decided so easily and pleasantly, and the next morning, Marcos came and asked them if they wanted to use the car, which of course was, two adults and a child, Morifio's mount, a deer, and a bunch of equipment.If Leon hadn't been supported by the factor (he had also been held back from hunting in the sewers last time), the two old horses pulled by Marcos would not have been able to pull the cart.The village of Siute is in the southwest of the city of Dyrier, farther away than the Jerome manor last time I visited, and it set off early in the morning, and before arriving at the place at noon, the group could only stop to eat, rest for a short time, and move their bodies before continuing their journey.It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon that they finally saw the village of Siut.The village is really deserted, and the road leading to the village is covered with weeds that can drown people's feet.Most of the houses that can be seen have no roofs, after all, they are thatched houses, and there are not a few that have collapsed.Foxes, weasels, and wild dogs scurried around in the grass, vaguely with the shadow of humans, but cowered in dark corners, trying to hide themselves.A few harvested plots of land can be faintly seen, but they are small and carefully hidden among the dense wild plants.There is no one here, but it does not mean that the land is ownerless, and cultivating on other people's land without permission is equivalent to a robber, and if you are caught, you will at least brand your face with letters, and at the most serious you will have your head cut off.It's just that there was an explosion, and even if the institute doesn't continue to operate, why should the land be wasted?
Maurifio asked.I don't know, it's just that after the explosion five years ago, it was abandoned here.I tried to investigate, but the people just said that because their colleagues had died here, they wanted this to be the resting place of my parents.Miss Hilbert said that five years ago I was very moved by what I heard, but now, I don't know.It seems that the rumors of the undead are only secondary, and this place itself is not normal.Eldy asked: Miss Hillbert, now that we're standing here, are you sure you're telling us everything you know?
I don't know much.Maurifio looked at Miss Hilbert, but joked to Leon and Eldy: Have you come to explore an abandoned building, and you don't even have a schematic of its interior?
Leon squinted at him: "You followed us to deal with a private job worth five thousand gold coins, but you don't even know what we are here for?"
They all belong to people who are very proud of their abilities, so when things come to the front, they find that they are negligent in preparation.So what to do?
Turn around and go back and continue preparing, or do you keep going and use your head to hardtop?
Shall we go back?
As the client, Miss Hilbert said tremblingly.Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and say in unison: No, keep walking.The village of Siwut was built against the backs of a mountain, presumably for safety reasons, and many of the villages here were built against the backs of mountains or rivers.When he reached the end of the village, he didn't see any research institutes, but he vaguely saw the road among the weeds, paved with stones, not the dirt road into the village, so the car got on the stone road and continued to move on.Although this is a stone road, the road has been impassable for a long time, and the road has become potholes, and the wooden wheeled carriage is so bumpy that people can fly, and the four people in the car have no time to speak.At about four o'clock, Marcos finally shouted: I see the wall!
The wall is also made of stone bricks, and the outside is painted with a layer of white ash, but now it is mottled, and there are small iron arrows on the wall, which is a decoration and a way to prevent theft, and the gate is completely gone.Marcos, just stay here.As the car entered the door, Leon motioned for Marcos to stop, pointing to the gatekeeper's hut at the door.Yes, sir.This kind of place Marcos also felt terrified, and it was a good thing for him not to go deeper.Leon raised his hand, and the wind whipped up, and Marcos and his carriage were right in the eye of safety.Don't go out.Of course, sir!
Marcos nodded violently, as if to stun himself.Then Maurifio and Eldi began to wear their gear, Miss Hillbert had clothes to change, the carriage was left for the ladies, and the two gentlemen, large and small, changed their gear outside.You wait here, I'll go and explore the way.No one objected, Leon thought about the wind wall and walked away, and the whirling wind was like a curtain in the face of Leon, parting to the sides, allowing Leon to pass.This abandoned research institute has a three-story main building, although it is a little smaller than the main castle of the Dyriel School of Sorcery, but it is about the same size as the main building of an ordinary school on the earth, which is a large-scale building here, at least in Dyrill City.To the left of the main building is a stable and an open space where horse-drawn carriages are parked, and judging from the range, there should have been a lot of staff here.On the right is a row of one-story houses, I don't know what they are doing for the time being.At the back of the main building, as Miss Hilbert said, it was hollowed out as a test site, and there was another explosion.
Fried mountains.From them to the main building was a wide stone road, and on both sides of the road were planted tall trees, presumably poplars.Strangely, although the weeds on the ground were growing luxuriantly, these tall trees were all dead.Now the trees are full of red-eyed and red-footed crows.But the next moment, the crows vanished like hallucinations.There is also a stone road from the main building to the mountain, but when the road is close to the side of the mountain, it is buried by large and small rubble.And at this distance, you can see that there is a significant missing piece of this mountain.But Leon looks like it doesn't look like the inside of the mountain is exploding. fried, thus collapsing.It blew up on the outside of what seemed like a mountain, and the mountain collapsed and blocked one side.Eldi and the others came out, and Maurifio didn't ride the deer, and now the deer was carrying the equipment of both of them.He and Eldi wore light leather armor, a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.Miss Hilbert changed her long skirt and wore a women's trouser suit, presumably a riding suit or a hunting suit, and a small piece of armor on her chest.Want to go to the main building?
Leon asked, and the other two looked at Miss Hilbert as well.If I could, I would like to see it, my parents' office was there, and a few people walked towards the main building, the main gate of the main building, like the gate of the courtyard, had disappeared, the wall skin was cracked, a small sapling had grown crookedly in the doorway, and there was still feces left by wild beasts on the ground, some dried and some wet.It seems that there are quite a few animals that have made their home here.The deer remained at the door, avoiding the droppings on the ground, and the three of them followed Miss Hilbert up to the second floor, where the stairs were mostly rotten, and Maurifio deliberately walked last, for he was the heaviest, and the handle must not be supported, and every step under his feet must be careful.The floor on the second floor was in even worse condition, the paint on the floor was gone, some of the wood was covered with moss, some even had mushrooms, and Miss Hilbert did not dare to step on it.Leon snapped his fingers, and a gust of wind blew, and there was an extra layer of slowly flowing wind on the ground: Don't worry, just go.Thank you.Miss Hilbert went to the left first, and the doors on the second floor were gone, and most of the houses were empty, either when they were moved out, or because they had been thoroughly visited in the years.Walking through the two offices, Miss Hilbert stopped: "It seems that no, I have gone wrong.She walked in the other direction, past three offices, and into the fourth, which was still empty, the walls peeling off, and plants growing tenaciously from the corners, and in one of the walls there was a large hole, where there was probably a built-in safe, and now the safe had been removed, and only the hole remained, and there was some kind of bird's nest in the window.Miss Hilbert looked at the empty office, showing a hint of regret, and then looked at the scenery outside the window that happened to face a small river flowing down the mountain, and her expression became nostalgic again: I used to come here to play when I was a child, and there were a few notches that should have measured my height where she pointed out, and the wall skin had fallen off completely, leaving only the wall tiles that were obviously damp and dark, and we often went to the mountains for picnics and watched for a few minutes, and Miss Hilbert took a deep breath: All right, let's go.Miss Hilbert, what research did you do until your parents were engaged in in the first place?
Morifio, who came without asking about the situation, finally inquired about the matter when it came time to change clothes.I don't know.Miss Hilbert shook her head, I used to go to factories that used power stone machinery when I was a kid, and I thought it was terrible.That kind of black steel, when they move, it's dirty and noisy, like monsters.Chapter 71 Miss Hillbert pursed her lips, her words were only uttered by biting her throat: those things are really monsters, they will devour people's lives!
Although it is a little distorted now because it is a childhood memory, I am sure that I have seen a child about my age and about your age get caught in by a machine!
Her face turned pale, and her voice suddenly became sharp: Can you imagine?!
The factory owner refused to turn off the machine!
Only agree to give a part of the compensation to the parents of the child!
Everyone, everyone!
They all look like they're used to it!
Watch that kid scream and be churned to death!
Even those parents who later found out what was going on just asked how much money they could get!
The numb worker, who was also a child, had already lowered his head to feed the machine, and the children on the other side were processing the child's flesh on the conveyor belt!
Machines eat not only the flesh and blood of the living, but also the souls of the living!
The machine is the carrier of the demon on earth!
The machine vomits!
Miss Hilbert was so agitated that she shook a little from dizziness, and when she recovered from holding on to the wall, she began to vomit.When she finished spitting, she raised her head and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: I'm sorry, I lost my temper, I looked at the three silent men, and suddenly smiled, you actually know that, right?
Everyone knows it, but the factories in the Iron Tree District are still being built more and more, and they are getting bigger and bigger, and every day that place does not know how many living people and how many souls are going to be devoured, I respect my parents, I love knowledge, but I can't identify with their ideas, and I can't accept that knowledge is used for that evil thing.It's not the machines that are evil, it's the people, do you think there are more children dying in factories, or more children dying in mines?
Maurifio looked at Miss Hillbert.There is no coal in this world, but there are many kinds of minerals such as iron, copper, gold, silver, various precious stones, and even pure gold, mythril, etc.Factories like to use child labor, and mines like to use child labor, because child laborers can get into narrower and smaller mines, they need less food, but they are paid the same as adults, not the same as adults, but with adults, they are paid according to their daily harvest.That's different.Miss Hilbert shook her head, why do we need so many minerals?
Not everyone needs armor like you, or because they have to build machines, and because there are so many things that machines can make!
And the mine can be protected, even if the pit collapses, people can be rescued.But once they are injured on the machine, most of them will not give people time to react at all, and they will have their hands and feet cut off, or even die!
There is no protection for people in the face of machines.No, people can also be protected against machines, as long as safety regulations are set and workers are trained, injuries in the work process can be minimized.Maurifio said seriously.You also said it, just less.Miss Hilbert snorted coldly.Of course, it can only be reduced, life is fragile, the baby is in the mother's belly, maybe the mother just falls, it will take away this young life.When there were no factories, would all human beings be able to live?
Hunters are bitten to death, fishermen are drowned, people who cultivate food are starved to death due to natural disasters, and even a sip of water can catch up with disease or parasites.Our civilization is the history of minimizing death step by step so that more people can have enough to eat.The people that Maurifio speaks of are also the meaning of all intelligent races in the upper Müller language, and are not limited to human beings.The elf was a little excited, and neither Leon nor Eldi expected that he was also a very hot-blooded person.Miss Hilbert hung her head and thought hard, no, no.Your eloquence is so good, I almost believed you by you, but that's not the case.Hunting, fishing, planting, and mining, in the teachings of your gods of nature, are all exploits of nature, but machines are not, especially those gigantic ugly roaring things, they are the product of the deformed valley of humanity, and they are even more terrible than the demons of the abyss.Machines are not the product of the valley's lack of hope, but the factory owners are.They want more profits, in addition to selling products, that is, to keep costs down.The labor cost of the worker is part of the cost, and the price of men is higher than that of women, and the price of women is higher than that of children.So why don't factory owners hire children?
