Extraordinary Mechanical City
Chapter 90 Are you playing cards? The kind that bet on your life
"Ren, I want to tell you so much, just to let you understand that medicine is for the better benefit of all mankind, not just the privilege of a certain class, nor is it a means to seek prosperity and wealth"
Irubek said earnestly.
It seemed that he didn't want the disciple he had accepted to repeat the same mistakes.
"No, teacher"
To be honest, Ren is really not interested in being a noble under this social system.
What kind of enjoyment haven't been seen at the end of the 21st century? He is really not interested in these so-called noble rights. The "smart brain" can create the pleasure brought by the secretion of dopamine.
After finally traveling through it, it is still a mysterious and full of fantasy world. Pursuing this legend can become a god with extraordinary power, isn't he good?
He shook his head, and said with certainty: "My ambition has never been about being rich and famous. I just want to see how far the extraordinary road in this world can go."
"Um."
Irubek looked him in the eyes and nodded in relief.
Ren asked again: "Teacher, have you noticed something? Do you think that because you rejected the operation proposal of the Winster family just now, it will cause trouble?"
Under normal circumstances, the Winster family would not dare to risk the world's disgrace by doing anything to Irubek.
But just like the "Prince Fox" back then, if he did something crazy before he died, it's hard to say.
"Don't say 'head replacement surgery' is an immature technology. Even if the technology is mature, no matter what, I will never agree."
Irubek's tone was as decisive as it was ten years ago.
He glanced around the sewer laboratory, and sighed again: "At the beginning, for a stable research environment, I rejected the Sid Empire and the favorable conditions offered by the various forces. I came here to set up a laboratory in the sewer. In order to conduct research in peace.”
After a pause, he said with a complicated expression: "It seems that this purity will not last long."
Hearing this, Ren said, "Teacher, no matter how arrogant those guys from the Winster family are, they will never dare to attack you, right?"
During this period of time, he also fully understood the contribution system of Glory City.
As long as they can pay the "contribution points" on time, according to the law of the city, no one has the right to expel them.
Although the Winster family is the actual controller of the Fifth District, they dare not abolish the most important rules of the Glory City.
Otherwise, most of the hunters who came to the "City of Glory" were bounty hunters, fugitives, and speculators who gathered from all directions. If the rules are broken, won't the sky turn upside down?
"Why"
Irubek obviously knew more about the inside story, and said: "If the Grand Magister Kavo is still in charge, no one dares to touch the rules in the city. But at least in the past five years, the Grand Magister Kavo has not made it public. Showed up."
When Ren heard it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Ah? You are suspicious. The [Great Polymath] Kavo Ramirez who founded Glory City, what accidents may have happened, such as the end of his lifespan?"
Eighty years ago, he became one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters", and his lifespan was considered to be almost the same.
"No."
Irubek shook his head and said: "I met the great magister Kavo five years ago. His magic power has reached its peak, and no one can pose a threat to him. Moreover, his mental state is also very good, and Shouyuan is very healthy." healthy"
"Huh? Then this."
Ren was puzzled when he heard this.
With the great magister of the "Ten Legends" and the six-story magic tower in the city, the possibility of external causes is extremely low.
Since it's not an external cause, and it's not the end of life, why is it?
Irubek was obviously also very puzzled, and said: "It is also because Master Kavo has not interfered with the affairs of the city in the past few years. Now the five major families are holding more and more power, and the privileged class is already sprouting. This is not good. The phenomenon."
"Teacher, it's a big deal for us to get out of here."
Ren resolutely stated: "Wherever you go, I will go with you!"
Irubek shook his head, feeling that although the world is big, there is nowhere to go, "If there is no free scientific research environment, then staying here, or staying in Oma or other places in Sid, is different. What's the difference?"
Ren frowned when he heard that.
A previous reward order forced him to come to this "City of Glory" because he had nowhere to stay in Omar. Now if the only "City of Liberty" that is not under the jurisdiction of the two empires can't accommodate them, the future is indeed a bit confused.
"Why don't you"
Ren suddenly thought of something, and suggested: "I heard that Her Royal Highness is planning to establish a new principality. Looking at her plan, it seems that she is also planning to engage in the 'New Deal'. How about we go to her new territory?"
"It's not easy for that girl Ymir to build a city here."
Irubek smiled wryly and shook his head, not optimistic, "Besides, things are not that bad. At least Master Kavo is still there, and the big families in the city dare not overstep their authority."
"Besides, even if they send me back to Oma, so what? They dare not kill me, and I will never work for Oma in my life. At most, I will be placed under house arrest."
It's time for the old man to say this, his face full of old gunner's anger, people suddenly don't worry about him.
"oh."
Ren pursed his lips.
Irubek looked at his newly recruited disciple again, and said, "Ren, you are the most talented student I have ever accepted. I have told you so much today, just to let you understand that science is for the benefit of all mankind. It exists. Potions, steam technology, and medicine are all like this. No matter what happens in the future, firmly believe in this belief, calm down, and go on.”
After he finished speaking, it seemed that the sullen breath in his heart was relieved.
"Understood, teacher."
Ren nodded.
Speaking of this step, he couldn't say anything more.
Although the old man's words were reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong.
In the early morning of the next day, Ren got up on time and took the intercity train to the Budokan to practice martial arts.
Then at lunch time, I came to the "Central Library".
For more than a month, he has been in the library every day, and he is already very familiar with everything here.
There were as few people in the library as ever.
It is still the second floor of the library. The quality of books on this floor is much higher. You don’t need to spend time digging out classics from the tens of millions of collections like on the first floor. On the second floor, there is a copy at hand, all of which are high-quality goods.
When going upstairs, Ren ran into the administrator who looked like Marx again.
This old head looks like he lives in the library 24 hours a day, and he can be seen sorting books here every time.
"Hey, does the old administrator still have time to play poker today?"
Ren was a little surprised.
For more than a month, he came every day. I often need to ask about the location of some bookshelves, so I had a few simple exchanges with this old man.
Although he didn't know the administrator's name, he also felt that the old man should be the kind of homeless and lonely old man, otherwise he wouldn't be able to spend all day in the library.
But this time, actually have the leisure to sit at the table and play poker with others? It seems to be an acquaintance.
Instead of saying hello, he glanced at the man in the black cloak sitting across from the bearded administrator.
With a cloak covering his face, he looks mysterious and looks more like a fortune teller who is good at tarot cards.
I don't know if the two people playing cards didn't speak, or what, Ren didn't hear any sound.
Probably because shielding magic was used, for fear of affecting other people.
Ren thought so.
He didn't care either, it was normal for the administrators in the library to know how to use magic. Without thinking too much, he walked straight to a bookshelf he had never seen before, and started another day of "book flipping".
As for Ren's arrival, the two card players didn't take a second look.
As he expected, there is a magical barrier near this small table that isolates everything.
The guy in the black cloak was flipping his poker like a spider.
An intruder suddenly came to the second floor, and he immediately found an Ace of Spades in his hand. This is also the biggest card."
The man in the cloak looked at the bearded administrator with a calm expression on the opposite side, with a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "You think so?"
Before the other party could answer, he had already turned over the next card, K of clubs.
"Good card!"
Seeing the cards, the cloaked man's aura suddenly changed, and a touch of almost hysterical excitement burst out of his eyes.
Like a desperate gambler, he couldn't wait to roll out all his chips, grinned his teeth, and said with a grin: "Master Kavo, do you want to play? The kind of gambling."
