Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 828 Heart
"What a hell. This clockwork head can see you, this wolf spirit can see you, but I can't see you. Why on earth?"

This situation made Fu Yuanshan feel even more weird. Everyone present could talk to Shangluo, except him and the Jin Yiwei he brought with him. It sounded like it was not Shangluo who became a wandering spirit, but them.

"Do you want an alkaline water ball?" The chef didn't quite understand what he meant, and the chef didn't realize what happened here before. He had been in the kitchen just now, making the lye water balls before he came out.

He was wearing a baker's apron and smelled of baking.

"Is this edible?" Fu Yuanshan asked Shangluo, "Have you ever eaten it?"

"Do you want to eat?" Shangluo said in surprise, "No. Regardless of whether you can eat it or not, I say, Senior Fu, there is no need for you to enjoy this meal."

"I happen to be hungry. How can you fight when you're hungry?"

"Well, I've eaten it before. I know this automaton."

"That's good." Fu Yuanshan waved to the chef: "Come on, give me something to eat."

"Guest, do you want the original flavor or the chocolate flavor?"

"I tasted everything - well, the taste of this alkaline water is really good. It's similar to the fried dough sticks I brought last time in Shangluo."

"Good guys, do you still remember those fried dough sticks? Have you all eaten them?"

"I went to Tianzi's to eat some, and that day I felt like I had something good to eat." Fu Yuanshan replied, "I have to say, it's very delicious for the price. As a person who evaluates food, I have to look at it. The price is right, you can get what you pay for. The fried dough sticks are very affordable, and the flavor is quite unique. Well, the alkaline water balls also have a very interesting taste. "

He picked up two or three with his fingers and then motioned to the chef to give some to everyone.

"You love food so much? That's great. Are you the guests of the King of Rome? My master is not here, and the King of Rome is my superior. The guests of the King of Rome are also the guests of the Empire State Building. Why are you all crowded in the small room? In the room? There are seats outside."

The chef greets the guests like a waiter. This job was not meant for a senior employee like him, but he didn't mind. His passion as a chef makes him enjoy doing these things of entertaining guests.

"Eh?" Shangluo said in surprise, "By the way, why are you here?"

Shangluo remembered that when they parted before, the two sides acted separately. The chef insisted on confronting little Pompeo, and Shangluo didn't know the outcome of the confrontation at that time.

"Before? Don't you remember? I am the baker [chef] here. I serve the little Pompey family. I also entertained you."

"No, no. Think about it carefully. You were indeed the baker of Pompey's family, but the time when you were the baker and the time when you met me are two different things. And the title of [chef] is mine. I gave you the title of [Baking Assistant III] in Little Pompeo’s house.”

pat.

The plate in the chef's hands fell to the ground. He looked at Shangluo in disbelief, past events flashing back in his mind. "Me, me??? Me!!!" Suddenly, he covered his chest and shouted, then threw his head back and fell to the ground.

"Huh???" Fu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment. He hadn't finished the alkaline water ball in his mouth. "Is the clockwork out of power? I remember that these Roman gadgets need to be wound up. Who of you will check it? Next? I'm busy."

He was eating alkaline water balls. Fu Yuanshan doesn't like to do anything else while eating.

"I'll do it." Schneider, the werewolf standing nearby, squatted down. He reached out and touched the chef's neck, frowned, and realized something was strange.

He removed the chef's hand that was covering his chest and lifted up his apron, revealing the mechanical body underneath - there was a hole in the chest.

"It's empty." Schneider replied, "This automaton has no core from the beginning. I don't know how it moved, but your words, King of Rome, seemed to make him realize that he had no heart, so he immediately If you didn't say anything, he would probably be able to run for a while."

"Huh?" Shangluo said in surprise, "Where is his heart? Where has it gone?"

Fu Yuanshan smacked the taste of alkaline water balls in his mouth and murmured: "You can live without food, and you can die without heart in Shangluo. There are more and more allusions to our big business. It's not auspicious."

"There's nothing I can do about it. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't even have mentioned it."

"But he seems to agree with you." Fu Yuanshan reviewed what Shangluo said to the chef just now: "You just said that the real name of this clockwork man is actually [Baking Assistant III], not [Chef]. This [Big Chef] It is indeed you who named him Chef. It means that his recognition of you is not low, at least not lower than that of his master."

"It's not like that." Shangluo replied, "He still misses his master very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't keep talking about making alkaline water balls."

"That is - the opportunity for him to become a human was from you. So after he lost his heart, all he had left was the 'mouth seal' you gave him, so his self-perception is that of [chef] instead of [Baking Assistant III]. When he suddenly realized that his heart was gone, he naturally lost his energy. "

"Is my mouth seal so powerful?"

"Of course there is. Didn't the little white dragon in "Journey to the West" say that when it sprinkles dragon urine, the weeds can turn into fairy mushrooms. You are Qilinzi, the number one auspicious person in the sky. And you are already a heavenly being, just like me. For heavenly beings like us, just speaking has great power. But in the final analysis, something has changed in him."

"Do you mean?"

"I have always felt that the clockwork mechanism of the Romans was harmful to heaven and earth. It was obviously to imprison the elves in heaven and earth. You seemed to have awakened him before and made him enlightened - enlightened, but enlightenment Not much. So after your mouth seal failed, he returned to his previous state. So, are you going to save him?"

"Can this be saved?"

"Based on my limited understanding, this cannot be saved originally. Because the clockwork hearts of these clockworkers are themselves cages. The metal cage outside is just a prison outside the cage. But now they have lost their hearts. He can still control Clockwork's body, which means that at least part of Clockwork's cage that he has broken through has naturally spread to the outer layer. Although the outer metal body is itself a cage, just breaking through this layer is enough. It’s already quite rare. Given time, I might actually be able to cultivate a human body.”
