Chapter 424: One Step Forward

There are never that many choices in a story.

This is their story, this is their path.

Ji Lin looked at the old knight who was being helped up into the cavity. His life was already rapidly draining away at the moment the battle ended.

His life is different from his own, and there is not much left.

He is the most suitable candidate.

"Mr. Magician...can you promise me to bring peace to this world?"

"I can't promise you anything because the empire will fall into chaos...but I hope it will be bright."

No longer trapped by dangerous technology.

Until tomorrow.

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment.

But he hopes the world can have a bright future.

"I can confirm that your sacrifices are valuable... Every sacrifice can push the world forward."

"That's great..."

The old knight was lying in the cavity, light blood slowly seeping out from the corners of his mouth, but his face had the expression of having seen a bright future.

If my life can slightly deflect the course of this world... that would be the best thing.

He waved to Ji Lin, then took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the ground.

"Hey, Mr. Magician, Don Quixote is just a name...but you still have to remember me, remember this poor Don Quixote."

It was just a very ordinary iron sword. It left a lot of conspicuous dents and dents in the fight with the palace guards, stained with his blood.

He used this iron sword to hold out for a minute under the siege of dozens of palace knights, until Nightcrow took him away.

Even the most exquisite swordsmanship is outnumbered.

"I don't have much wealth, this is my few possessions, so please keep it safe for me... If I die, this will be my gift to you..."

Finally, thank you for helping me walk this journey.

Complete the final journey.

The cavity closes.

"I will try to reverse my own mechanical device and use the rune array to directly generate a large amount of flesh and blood to fill it..."

The clock rotated the mechanical joint, folded the cabin, and told the waiting people in writing.

He still hasn't installed a language device on himself, and the difficulty of using a mechanical device to make sounds... In short, it is not something that their current technical level can achieve.

"At the same time, my consciousness will probably end at this moment."

It turned its head, and its crystal blue pupils fell on the group of people in front of it.

"According to my calculations, they may deploy specialized control devices... just like I remotely control other small structures... I think they are not qualified to directly use humans to control this level of flesh and blood structures. "

Zhong turned his head and wrote on the blackboard with the tip of his pen.

"Maybe you can find the control device and reduce the casualties it may cause... Mr. Negus will help you find the device. I shared with him the essence of my control of small structures..."

And I'm going to deal with that sibling that is similar to me.

"With luck, we still have a chance to survive."

So, goodbye.

————

"We will surely die."

Don Quixote stated.

Zhong did not answer his statement. He had already acquiesced to this fact and asked the other party with spiritual resonance.

"Don Quixote is the protagonist in a novel. He should have been dead long ago... As for you, I want to know your name at the end."

I have read the classics created by you humans, and I naturally understand the story of Don Quixote.

I am the first intelligent computer.

"Yeah, that guy should be my grandfather... Ha, he probably didn't expect that a few hundred years later, another descendant would find the same partner and follow his path again."

Just go further and really complete the adventure in your dreams.

No longer at the end of the continent, but walking among every civilized world.

Walking around this blue planet, all you see is disaster and death, and all good intentions are crushed in front of the gears of history.

Don Quixote coughed, and blood fell on the bulkhead.

Forgive him for being such an unfilial descendant, and imitate his ancestors to raise their spears and charge towards the windmill.

It failed as always.

"Do you believe in oracles... It's like one day you suddenly know your mission, and then realize that this is the duty you were born to do."

He leaned against the steel and could clearly hear the gears turning.

"I don't believe that all miracles are accidental splashes in the ocean of possibility... It's just that the splash fell on me... And according to science, gods do not exist in this world... Even if they exist , and it didn’t look at me.”

Zhong slowly advanced through the passage, and through the rotating gears, his crystal blue rune core was flashing.

"Communication is good. Communication helps us maintain our own soul. I will listen carefully to your words."

There was a brief silence.

"Actually, I kind of regret coming here."

Don Quixote smiled, his rough white hair falling on the metal, listening to the sound of the gears turning and biting.

"It's really strange. The food here is really terrible, but the people are actually quite nice."

Zhong hesitated for a while, thinking circuit turning to come up with his own answer.

"It's a good thing I have no sense of taste."

Don Quixote felt the machine carrying him stop and the cavity opened. He saw the flesh and blood mass that expanded rapidly and the flashing arc lines in the dense steel forest.

Don Quixote listened to the sound of fragments falling into the underground river, just like the hands of a precise clock moving forward until the next cycle began.

That was the main engine of the clock.

This mechanical computer that gave birth to wisdom was actively giving up its life.

Unnecessary frames were abandoned, unnecessary parts were cut off, and all energy was concentrated on shaping a usable flesh and blood structure.

It was self-destructing in some form in exchange for a new life.

"Mr. Don Quixote, you are right."

In order to minimize losses, we will die.

The sound of the clock was as cold as a machine.
