The King’s Game Chapter 116 - Heart of Machinery VI]

Ch116 – [Heart of Machinery VI]
At that time, the red dragon used transmission magic to rush back to the city of Ogg. As the base of the Kadrin parliament, the city, which was still rich and prosperous, was full of elite troops from various races.
In accordance with his promise, Gerard did put forward his request and suggestion to the parliament after returning to Ogg City, giving a general account of the matter without mentioning the location.
As Gu Huai expected, all the members of the parliament approved Gerard’s proposal and gave a guarantee.
The red dragon went to the youth again with the promise of the Council, and brought the latter and the dozen mechanical creatures to the gate of Ogg City.
The United Capital was the bridgehead of the eight major races against the mechanical army, and it was the most important strategic stronghold. The elite of every race gathered in the city undoubtedly had no half-hearted affection for mechanical creations.
Despite the advance notice, the residents of this United City were still looking at the group of mechanical creatures entering their city from the outside with explicitly hostile gazes.
Patches of different colors were applied to their metal bodies, which made these old robots look quite different from the new robots and they were clearly not the same level of creation. However, the nature of these mechanical creatures was the same.
Residents in United Capital City also did not feel very favorably toward the young man sitting on the arm of the R-type robot. Many people considered human beings the main culprits for the disaster.
If human beings had not randomly studied taboo subjects and created things that should not exist, they might have been able to live a happy life from long ago.
“Du, Du-” between the reactions and the warning atmosphere, the monotonous voices of the mechanical creatures around the youth were slightly sharper than usual.
These mechanical creatures did not pay attention to the attitude of other living organisms towards themselves, because it was irrelevant. However, if these living organisms had the intention to attack the treasure they protected, they had to take corresponding measures.
Things that posed a threat to treasure needed to be eliminated. Because of such instincts, their blue eyes began to faintly flush a red light, representing the hostility in the eyes of mechanical creatures around the youth.
“I don’t care.” Noting the situation, Gu Huai soothed the mechanical creatures around him softly. Then he turned to the red dragon, who was leading him beside him, and said, “Before going to the meeting hall, I want to rest for a day. We walked out of the ice cap in the far north and have not had a good rest. “
Gerald nodded understandingly. “I’ve arranged a house for you. I’ll take you there now.”
The whole city of Ogg was a huge garrison area. Mechanical creatures could not have appeared in this city, but now there was a special situation. A human and more than a dozen mechanical creatures would be extremely eye-catching no matter where they were in Ogg City.
Gu Huai and his group arrived at their temporary residence under the observation of the residents of different races
When the red dragon was ready to leave, Gu Huai shouted, “Wait a minute, please help me prepare the items on this list. I will make a magic amplifier as the corresponding reward.”
The list was not full of rare materials that were hard to find; he just had to go to the corresponding stores to buy them. Gerald was still willing to help.
The temporary residence was very comfortable. The long journey from the polar ice cap did make Gu Huai feel a little tired. Before the red dragon prepared the materials for him, Gu Huai fell asleep on the sofa.
The young man who was sleeping quietly on the sofa curled up slightly, his eyes gently closed, looking defenseless.
“Du.” The surrounding mechanical creatures quietly stood by after making a single tone in a low voice. They surrounded the sleeping youth and looked down at him.
Although they were only old models of robots and belonged to the group that had their production discontinued, they also had a skill that was equivalent to the new model of robots.
Detonation of the energy core. With such a level of attack, even the city’s most powerful couldn’t escape intact. Assuming there was a real threat to the youth, they would not hesitate to do it.
However, once this was done, they would not be able to see their important treasure anymore. Such self-destruction would destroy even the chip, which meant they would be completely destroyed. Its equivalent corresponding state in the concept of life seemed to be called ‘death’..
Though not afraid of being destroyed, these mechanical creatures would want to continue to see the black-haired youth in front of their eyes.
Gu Huai’s sleep did not last long. As soon as the red dragon prepared the materials for him, Gu Huai woke up from his sleep and began his first job.
“Kuta, how are you feeling?” Gu Huai opened his robot’s energy box, took out the old energy crystals that had been consumed almost all around the magic stone, and replaced them with new crystals.
These new energy crystals were newly produced by Gu Huai using alchemy. The materials were those prepared by Gerald for him. This was Gu Huai’s first time using alchemy, so he was worried about the effect.
“Du.” The blue light in the eyes of the R-03 robot, which had been supplied with new energy, became brighter. It lowered its head and carefully rubbed its head made of metal on the youth.
Gerald was watching. He felt that the human youth in front of him could be worthy of the title of genius. He would not say that he could refine a batch of energy crystals with a 100% success rate. The magic booster given to him as a reward could achieve a terrifying effect of 18%——
When the young man replaced all the energy crystals of the mechanical creatures in the room, Gerald looked at the only R-type robot present and asked with a rather complicated expression: “Do you call this robot Kuta?”
“Well, what’s the problem?” Gu Huai nodded, not denying the other’s speculation.
Gerald choked on the young man’s rhetorical question before answering, “Uh… Nothing.”
Gerald left with his reward. He didn’t go on to ask other questions, such as whether the other chose the name intentionally.
The word “Kuta” had no special meaning in other races, but in ancient human language, it was more interesting… It represented something beautiful.
The cold mechanical creations and beautiful things made of metal, Gerald thought for a moment in a tangled mood, but he still could not quite understand the mind of the youth. How can such a cold and emotionless creation be linked to a beautiful thing?
With the materials, Gu Huai began to repair some damaged parts after supplying his robots with new energy. The patches of different colors could finally be replaced.
However, when the youth tried to change the patches on them, these mechanical creatures were surprisingly not so cooperative and insisted on keeping an old patch on their bodies.
“Well, then I’ll leave a small piece, not more. It will affect your defense.” Gu Huai reluctantly agreed to his robots’ requests and tried to reinforce the old patches left behind.
“Du, Du …” The eyes of the mechanical creatures in the room flashed blue to express their joy. The patches were the mark of the youth when he first repaired them. They wanted to preserve those marks well. These marks were very beautiful in their eyes.
After these first tasks, Gu Huai laid back on the sofa next to him and had a long sleep. The next day, he was led by the red dragon to the Council Hall of Ogg City.
Speaking of the Council Hall, in fact, this building was more like a temple. On the central platform sat the senior leaders of various races, while on the outside were the core members of the Kadrin Parliament.
As the only known surviving human being, the youth was undoubtedly the representative of the human race, and he was received on the central platform.
“According to Gerard, your excellency said that he has the ability to change the situation of the war. As the last surviving human being, we trust you. I hope you can give us more details.” The first to speak was the Lich leader, Gerson, while the rest of the seven leaders remained silent or nodded in agreement.
The huge meeting hall was full of different races. Gu Huai, as the only human, sat on his seat. At this time, he calmly said, “Before I can explain the situation, we need to reach a consensus.”
As soon as he came, he made a request without hesitation, causing all the people on the outside, as core members, to frown slightly. The leaders of all ethnic groups on the central platform were much more calm, among whom the prophet of the elves responded, “Please speak.”
“When it’s over, I’ll take care of Noah and other mechanical creatures. You can’t do anything about it.” Gu Huai said the sentence clearly, his eyes did not dodge at all, he knew what the reaction of the races would be.
Gu Huai now wanted to get the assurance that the Kadrin parliament would not investigate. He was not trying to help Kadrin parliament eliminate mechanical creatures. All he wanted to do was to make the two cease fire.
The latter was a family member, and Gu Huai was confident of persuading him to stop if he could confirm this… even if the third party’s enemies had tampered with them.
However, if he persuaded his family members to stop and the Kadrin Parliament still wanted to investigate past grievances, then his persuasion would be meaningless.
If the two had to contend, Gu Huai knew very well what kind of choice he would make to avoid such a situation. Gu Huai must first reach a consensus with the party he abandoned.
“Impossible—”
“Are you kidding me? Of course, the power of disposal belongs to the parliament.”
“The right of disposal can only be exercised by innocent people …”
As soon as the youth’s words were spoken, the opposition in the deliberation hall continued. In the hall, no one expressed approval.
In the end, the decision makers did not speak at this time. They just looked calmly at the human youth in front of them. Faced with the surging wave of disapproving voices, the other party should retreat from difficulties and would not require them to speak.
But to everyone’s surprise, the human youth who looked very beautiful sitting on the seat stood up with his back as straight as his tough attitude. “If you don’t change the situation with Noah and his army of mechanical creatures, how long will you last?”
Because Kadrin’s parliament was at a disadvantage and Gu Huai had enough bargaining chips, he added: “What I am saying is not a request. If no consensus is reached first, then I can only assume that you do not need my help.”
Although human beings were weak, they never seemed to be an easy race….
After many years of the humans’ absence, the youth reminded all the races present of this once again.
The final result of the meeting was a consensus reached by both sides, which was barely satisfactory.
The time passed was one day for Gu Huai to rest, one day for the meeting, and a third day that passed quickly. And after these three days, the day came for Sage to carry out his mission.
Elves, the tree of life. The goal was very clear. Sage was going to lead a large mechanical army directly outside the entrance to the elves’ territory, and would breach it.
Enchantment was really a troublesome thing. Since the elves’ territory was covered by the magic enchantment, Sage’s teleportation location could only be set outside the elves’ barrier, so the idea arose in his mind.
However, it wouldn’t take much effort to enter from outside, they just had to pass time…..
The destruction of the source of life of the elves was considered accomplished with passing time. Sage, who had just determined the transmission location, did not know yet that he would soon see a special existence that made his heart entangled beyond repair.
