Chapter 1002 Further Commitment
This is the version of "no worries if you have more debts" in the earth elemental plane. Someone slandered.
But seriously speaking, Hefquin's proposal is not something that cannot be ignored. At least this one respects me the most among all the robots, and of course he has the closest relationship with him. This can be seen from the way they called Lin.
When the elemental creatures encountered in the past met for the first time, they would only call someone 'human', such a broad term. Because in their eyes, Lin is no different from other humans.
After being transformed by fire, most of them changed their name to "magicians". One is acknowledging someone's contribution to their evolution; the other is acknowledging someone's abilities and no longer being an ordinary, inconsequential 'human being'.
Hefquin is the only one who would address someone as 'my lord'. This kind of title is usually used by elemental creatures in front of elemental lords. The language of the elemental elves is the same as the beast language used by the demon cats. There is less human hypocrisy in the use of words and the content of the words, or duplicity. Therefore, it is quite credible to understand it literally.
At least Lin and Hefquin had been working well together before. When the other party is asking for something, there will be no situation of being kind on the surface and stabbing in the back. Only humans can get away with this trick. Elemental elves are a bit like demons and demons. They may set traps in their words, but as long as they make a promise, they will stick to it and they will not regret it.
But...' You know, in addition to the original request, you also agreed to let a clone follow me. To go further would be a somewhat rude request. ’ Lin said bluntly.
Before an elemental creature can be transformed, it must first agree to two requirements: agreeing to borrow the power of the elemental spirit and conquering the outside world five times. This is the same for all robots, without exception.
As for Hefquin, who obtained part of the knowledge of flash art from someone and used it on the phase transfer nuclear reactor, the price was to send a mini-level clone as someone's little follower. This has a time limit, after all, the lifespan gap between humans and elemental creatures is too big. And Hefquin's clone will regain his freedom at the end of Lin's lifespan.
Of course, the wording would not be "send", which has a slave connotation, but other words that sound more polite, but that's actually what it is. Someone doesn't want to offend too many bosses of Hefquin's level on the issue of face.
The reason why Lin agreed was that someone actually used this mini body as a Swiss knife, a multi-purpose tool. After all, it is an aggregation of nanoworms. If you want to transform into some small props, there is no one more convenient than her. But that's all. I won't and can't have any other unnecessary thoughts.
For Hefquin, she wanted the full version of Blink, rather than a cut-down version that only works with wireless transmission of energy. That's why the two of them entered into this kind of agreement between master and follower, instead of like other robots, where they only go out to do things after being summoned and paid. The so-called five expeditions to foreign lands are just calls that cannot be refused, and the rewards that should be collected will still be collected.
On the one hand, a mere mini body, considering Hefquin's current size, is an insignificant and trivial matter. Do it or not do it, it just depends on your mood.
But she was unwilling to contribute more than a mini body. Because Hefquin is confident, it is not difficult for her to deduce the rest of the knowledge on the Flash Technique. And there was nothing else about the magician that interested her.
Now it seemed that the magician was worth more than she had originally seen. Maybe most robots don't understand, but Hefquin, who is at the forefront of the battlefield against the Iron Wall Master, will know that the role played by this magician in the battle is greater than anyone imagined. Be big.
To be able to suppress the divine realm, something that countless elemental lords cannot do, a human magician can do. Could this be an ordinary person? Have no other value in you?
With this understanding, making further commitments has changed from being unacceptable to being discussable. Hefquin's bottom line is that all agreements will be terminated on the day the magician dies. So in this short and limited time, it is not too much to promise anything.
For Lin, he does hope to have more control over Hef Queen. This is a thought I have had since I accidentally leaked too many things and regretted it.
It's just that the words spoken, the married daughter, and the water thrown out are not so easy to take back, so Lin did not make too many demands on Hefquin. Another big reason is that I can't figure out how to restrain this being who, under my unintentional suggestion, has become similar to a bug. If it pisses me off... that scene is unimaginable?
However, if the other party jumped in voluntarily, Lin certainly had no reason to extrapolate. So he said: 'The conditions are still the same. As long as you agree to be controlled by me, telling you the knowledge is not a big problem. ’
’ Same, by the end of your life? ’
’ Yes, this agreement will end when I die. ’ Lin spoke in plain language without any scruples. At the same time, he took out a fingernail-sized magic stone from his pocket and handed it to the mechanical girl sitting on his shoulder. ’ If you agree, just accept what’s inside. ’
Hef Queen's mini-girl clone did not immediately accept the magic stone, which was supposed to contain an unknown program. Instead, she turned her expressionless little face to a certain magician and asked: "In addition to discussing with me enthusiastically at the beginning, your subsequent performance was all kinds of worries, worrying that I would learn from you." He gained too much power, so he tried every means to limit me. But I never seem to worry about what I will do with this power after you die. Why is this? ’
’ After I die, I won’t care about the flood. Even if I want to take care of it, I'm dead, that means I can't see it and can't take care of it. All I can do is try not to leave the bad stuff for the future. The rest is to try not to increase your own troubles, especially the kind of troubles that may not be solved even if you pay a heavy price and die. If the former and the latter contradict each other, of course I would choose the latter. ’
'So, you will not interfere with my future after your death, how to use these powers. ’
'Every decision and every choice always has its time and space background factors and should not be generalized. When I am still alive, I can think with you to solve the troubles that seem to require the use of those powers. Is there any other easier way, or can I find a way to stop you from abusing it. But after I die, no one helps you, and there are people who force you to the point where you have to use those powers. Is the fault on me or on those who force you to the point of no return? And you can only choose to break the agreement with a dead ghost, or be bullied to death. So what does this mean? For things in the future, people in the future must be responsible for themselves, rather than throwing the responsibility on the dead. ’ someone said plausibly.
