In front of the old man, his eyes became sharp in an instant. Even if he still looked like an ordinary peasant grandfather, he was completely different in Zhao Nan's sense.
This is an old man with more stories than expected.
When the atmosphere was silent to the extreme, he was strongly stripped of his disguise and restored to the identity of University Iverson. Suddenly, he completed the appearance of a new moon in his eyes and said with a smile: "young man, do you like tea?"
"Tea, black tea is OK." Zhao Nan nodded.
……
……
Inside, Iverson was skillfully brewing tea that smelled very fragrant. Zhao Nan sat quietly opposite him.
"What is the rank of a scholar?" Iverson asked coldly.
Without any surprise, Zhao Nan responded the next second: "senior scholars, maybe they are still a little short of going to college."
"You are not a scholar."
"I've only been to Pompeii."
When mentioning the name of this ancient city, the old man's tea making hand trembled slightly, and soon recovered its stability. He looked out of the window and said softly, "I haven't gone back for many years. I want to go back, but I make up... Or I don't dare to go back."
"Why?" Zhao Nan asked knowingly.
Iverson sat down, holding the brewed tea in his hands and sipping slowly, "do you want to hear the story of my sinner?"
Perhaps he wanted to pour out his worries for many years. Iverson looked at it with an inquiring look. How do you know Zhao Nan just shook her head: "no need. To be honest, I'm not interested in your past. All I want to know is that you appeared, but why did you hide your identity and approach Locke. What's your attempt to it?"
Iverson turned his teacup. "As I said, I just want to look at Locke quietly, just like Locke and Sisi are my own children. That's all."
"You put the emotional circuit on Locke."
"Yes, I did." Iverson's face leaked a bitter smile: "The hatred of destroying the city almost dashed my reason. I wanted revenge at all costs. But I can't seem to do anything alone. The direction I'm dedicated to is not the magic guide technology that tends to fight. The life-long combat dolls I have on hand... In fact, they are more suitable for auxiliary types."
"So you're going to start the final work as your revenge force?" Zhao Nan said.
Iverson whispered: "At that time, I was almost desperate. Not only Locke, but also many. I made a lot of magical people in humanoid form and implanted emotional circuits in them. I thought that as long as there were enough, a perfect circuit could be born from these experimental products. Locke was made by me during my journey Later, it was handed over to a saint... You should have got Locke from Lord Ulysses. "
Zhao Nan nodded.
Iverson sighed: "To be honest, making Locke was just a whim at that time. It was as a thank-you gift for the adult who took me in for a period of time. With my skills at that time, the emotional circuit should be more perfect, but I didn't do that. I was probably subconsciously not optimistic about the child. However, the fate was changeable. The most undesirable child in those years grew up with many 'brothers' As an outstanding... Even said, it is only one step away from perfection“
He said, looking at Zhao Nan deeply, "when Locke lived here some time ago, he often heard about you from his mouth. He said that the gentleman he served taught him a lot of things. I think Locke's growth must be thanks to you. At the same time, think is also what you prepared for Locke?"
Zhao Nan shrugged and said, "it was an accident. Later I found it interesting... In fact, taking Sisi as an opportunity, Locke's growth was beyond my expectation."
"I thought a lot later. No matter how many experiments I made, I couldn't reach the perfect state in the end." Iverson's eyes twinkled with a persistent light.
This is almost the same as the glittering light in the eyes of those old scholars Zhao Nan once knew in the star spirit world.
"... no matter how much they behave like a living creature, they still lack something. I always wondered what went wrong. It was not until I saw Locke that I realized what the failed experiment lacked."
"Love."
"Whether it's the love of relatives, or the love between friends, or even the love between lovers." Iverson smiled bitterly: "If people don't know how to love someone, how can they be called a complete person? Let alone create a real soul out of nothing. However, i... we ignored such a basic problem from the beginning. We just kept adding deduction circuits to analyze and imitate all the behaviors of living creatures. We thought that we relied on this model Imitation will eventually grow into a real person. "
"And I am also a bad old man who doesn't know how to love. I'm just confused by hatred. How can I create a magic tool that really knows how to love?"
Zhao Nan's fingers knocked on the wooden table. More or less, he could feel a sense of twilight from the old man, "listen to your tone, how do I feel that you seem to have given up your revenge for the destruction of the city?"
"What if you kill all the people in Noel? The dead people will not be reborn." Iverson said calmly: "And many of the enemies of that year have long died. Can the so-called revenge only revenge their next generation? Aim the butcher's knife at those who don't know the inside story of that year, just because of the sins brought by blood, and let them die miserably in innocence? I don't kill all the people, and then my hatred will continue through blood at the same time "Their descendants will kill me, and my descendants will kill them. In this way, when will it come to an end?"
With the special sigh of the vicissitudes of life, Iverson took a deep breath: "behind the endless hatred and killing, there will only be an end of destruction. Pompeii city has become history, so let it go. Originally, the original hatred and destruction of the city can not be opened without the intensification of contradictions between both sides."
He looked at Zhao Nan and said in a self deprecating tone: "Maybe you don't know that before Pompeii city was destroyed, Nordic countries, like a slave country, had been exploited by Pompeii city and constantly provided manpower and materials for its research and development. It was almost to the extent of exhaustion of state-owned... But it could not satisfy Pompeii city's appetite, which finally made Nordic countries unbearable and angry Rebellious. "
"I see..." Zhao Nan took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
……
……
The task of scholars' anger was only found from the remains of scholars in the destroyed Pompeii city, with the anger and resentment of all the dead people in Pompeii city.
But before that, there was a history that Zhao Nan didn't know. Zhao Nan didn't expect that before the destruction of the city, the relationship between Pompeii and Noel was similar to that between landlords and serfs.
"I don't know where I should go. I've always been a wanderer in the world. I'll live for a while before I get to a place, and I'll leave when I feel almost." Iverson's eyes have an incredible look: "Until I came to Tanya, I didn't think about how long I would stay, but I never thought I would meet the child again. Its growth made me feel incredible. In this way, I lived next to it and observed its every move every day."
"But when we met again this time, I took a little look at Locke." Iverson looked at Zhao Nan with doubts: "First of all, the original power stove on Locke is not the one I made at any time at that time. If you look at the technique, it should be the pen of a good friend of mine in those years. However, he was clearly hidden in the war in Pompeii city. Or I can understand that you undoubtedly obtained the inheritance of my friend, so it is not necessarily that you can make this power stove. But this is not true Seeing Locke again, there was another power stove on his body... And this power stove clearly came from another test object in that year, which was made by myself. "
"That's why you deliberately let Locke drink the so-called medicine... In fact, it's just some special materials with repair function. The purpose is to lead me out and meet you, right?"
"Yes, I just want to know about another power furnace." Iverson said positively, "if you can, please tell me for the sake of fellow scholars... What happened to the other child?"
"So you made Mar?" Zhao Nan stared at each other. "That kind of half man and half magic tool."
Iverson was silent for a long time.
"As I said, in order to revenge, I almost had to do everything to complete the real emotional circuit." he said with an apology on his face, "since it can't be completely manufactured manually, I wonder if I can graft the emotional data of real creatures."
He looked at his hands, his face turned white and trembled, "so, how do you let me use these evil hands splashed with blood to do the so-called revenge..."
Half man and half magic tool... Naturally, it is impossible to succeed at one time.
So how many times did you fail before you succeeded?
Zhao Nan suddenly felt a chill... As expected, the scholars who fell into paranoia were a group of madmen, real madmen!
