Chapter 114 - [Heart Of Machinery IV]

Name:The King's Game Author:酒矣
In the early era of Eizea, human beings were almost equal to the symbol of weakness for other races. Later, the impressions of the other races of human beings changed to some extent through their achievements. But for the ancient races who were born with great power…. For example, when human beings existed as individuals, they were always very small.

The world was unfair. Human beings were doomed to be unable to beat the dragon race in terms of physical strength and were generally inferior to the beastmen. In terms of affinity and control of the elements, there was a big gap between humans and other ethnic groups such as dragons and elves, so when it came to magic attainments, it was difficult for humans to surpass the latter.

In regards to wisdom, ancient races all possessed wisdom precipitated by a long period of time. They were recognized as the most intelligent people in the mainland of Eizea. There were Elf prophets, who were also leaders of the Elf race.

It was true that there were sometimes special individuals among human beings, but the number of such individuals was too small to determine if they would appear even in a hundred years.

But now one seemed to just appear in front of his eyes. The red dragon rose from the state of being knocked down and looked at the nearby human youth with a kind of indecision and uncertainty, giving no answer for the time being.

The strong had the right to speak, which was a universal principle. Even if Gerald adopted a completely self-centered attitude at the beginning, he had no choice but to listen to the words of the youth in front of him.

The arrogant nature of the dragons made Gerald unable to answer, but after looking at the human youth in front of him for a while, the red dragon finally slightly nodded his head.

In view of the fact that the initial behavior of the dragon was to rescue him, Gu Huai thought that there was still a possibility to communicate with him. Instead of using a tough attitude, Gu Huai slowed down his voice a little bit. “For certain reasons, I don’t know what you just mentioned. If it’s convenient, I hope you can tell me the sequence of events of the matter.”

“I said a lot of things just now…” As a dragon who was actually just a young adult, Gerald’s mind was not mature. After whispering this, he raised his hand and grabbed his red hair. “What do you want to ask? Ask one by one.”

Gu Huai calmed down all the mechanical creatures that were hostile to the red dragon behind him, sat back on the arm of the R-03 robot, and said in a low voice, “I’m ok. The other side is not the enemy for the time being, so you don’t need to attack.”

The treasure returned to their protected area. Confirming this, the red eyes of the cold mechanical creatures around the youth gradually faded and turned back to their normal sky blue.

Gu Huai could accept the statement that the rest of mankind had become extinct and that he was the only survivor, but he could not accept the statement that the mechanical creatures were the main culprits of human extinction.

The former would take the initiative to consume energy to illuminate the room in order to give him a better environment when they were already short of energy. Compared with the words of Red Dragon, Gu Huai, of course, would choose to believe in his family accompanying him.

Judging from the scene before him, this group of mechanical creations were indeed protecting the youth, which Gerald could not deny. Perhaps these mechanical creatures in front of him were a few special cases, but what he said was also true, and he had direct evidence to prove his words.

“I can understand if you don’t believe it.” Although he was a proud dragon by nature, Gerald was not ignorant of the meaning of the word ‘different from relatives and friends’. “I will draw out the relevant memories and make a projection, so you will probably understand that what I said is true.”

The dragon came of age at 320, the extinction of human beings was more than 200 years ago. When the incident broke out, Gerald, as a little red dragon who did not have much experience, followed the elders of the clan to the territory of human beings.

Human beings had been a large-scale race with a large population. Of course, their genocide would be very noisy and would directly disturb other races in their respective territories.

When Gerald arrived at a human city with his clan elders, the city was close to being destroyed by mechanical creatures. Whether the city was capable or because they were ordinary people with no resistance, the cold machines slaughtered them without any hesitation and began to kill in front of them.

This kind of cruelty, even in retrospect, Gerald still felt shocked.

And even if those killed were not of the same race, seeing such a tragic scene, other races could not help feeling a little sad.

After projecting the extracted relevant memories, Gerald moved his eyes to the mechanical creatures beside the youth. “After watching these, will you stop me?”

“Now these robots beside you are good to you, it doesn’t mean they will always be like this. At the beginning, when you humans successfully created mechanical creatures, you claimed to have created ‘miracles’, but facts have proved that they are not miracles, but aliens that bring only destruction. “

The Red Dragon persuaded the youth in front of him according to reason, and at the same time continued to state the situation to the youth. “Following the extermination of human beings, these mechanical creations immediately launched attacks on other races. Aware of the seriousness of the problem, we established the Kaderin Parliament composed of eight major races and began to resist and fight back against these mechanical creations. “

“As a member of the parliament, I have an obligation to destroy the mechanical creations I see, which is also the reason why I attacked them.” With this conclusion, Gerald waited in silence for the response of the human.

On one side was the slaughtered kin, on the other side was the enemies, still only mechanical creatures. Gerald thought that there was no doubt as to what kind of choices the youth would make when he learnt the truth.

As long as he was a normal person, there was no doubt that he would choose….

“They are not aliens.” The red dragon heard the young man’s clear and extremely calm voice, and the latter refuted him with a very serious and solemn attitude, “They are miracles, which is not wrong.”

The mechanical creations made of cold metal could act autonomously, understand languages, and understand thoughts…. Even have feelings.

They were miracles, of course.

Gerald: “…”

After making this rebuttal, Gu Huai also faced the facts thrown to him by the other. The memories projected were not fake. He understood this, but he still had problems sorting some things out.

“The robots in the projection do not belong to any of the three basic models, and… there are mechanical creations imitating human form?” This was Gu Huai’s question after watching the memories of the red dragon.

The human in front of him really knew nothing about the past. Gerald now believed this completely. He sighed for a long time and decided to explain it in detail from the beginning: “Do you know why human beings call the successful manufacture of mechanical creatures a miracle? Because human beings think that the manufactured mechanical creatures can become powerful weapons in their struggle against other races, thus enhancing the overall combat effectiveness of human armies.”

“The three basic models you mentioned, even the T-type robot, which is defined as a household type, actually has the function of form conversion and can be converted into R-type, and they are all in essence serving the war. But these three types of mechanical creatures are all old robots now. They are experimental models made as an introduction to the Ark Project. “

At this point, Gerald grabbed his red hair restlessly “The mechanical creations in my memory projection were the new robots that appeared after the Ark plan started, and the mechanical creations in human forms were the most troublesome ones among them. To be honest, if these mechanical creations were not enemies, I would unhesitatingly admit that you humans have made miracles.”

Even if their number was huge, these new types of robots would continue to learn and evolve after the battle. They were already difficult to deal with. Now the difficulty of these mechanical creations had reached the level that even the eight races could barely resist.

The Ark Project. Gu Huai caught this familiar term in the words of the Red Dragon. He had seen the name of this project in the data storage room of the abandoned fortress before.

The extermination of human beings occurred only after the Ark Project was launched. Gu Huai still maintained his attitude of protecting the robots around him. He said, “Since everything started with the Ark Plan, have you not made any inquiries into the plan?”

“This is a plan that has been classified as top secret. When we wanted to trace it, all relevant information was basically destroyed.” Gerald shook his head clearly. Of course, they also wanted to find out, but the humans did not leave them any chance.

“The final creation of the Ark Project is called Noah. He is the king who controls this huge mechanical army. This is the only information we have obtained.”

Noah-

After hearing the name, the young man sitting on the arm of the robot unconsciously bit his lip. The situation in this world was far more complicated than he imagined.
