Slime's Evolutionary Journey

There is a palace complex to the east of the Odea Palace. This palace complex is different from the other palace complexes in the Odea Palace. Its exterior decoration is extremely simple. However, the appearance of this palace complex is indeed extremely strange. Among them There are both round buildings, square buildings, and even pavilions that actually float on the ground.

This palace complex is collectively called "Zhuofang", and there are hundreds of dwarf craftsmen living in it, and they are all the best among the dwarf craftsmen.

And today, a regular customer came to build a house again.

"Prince Tao, you are here again today. Why, hasn't His Majesty taught you enough?"

Seeing the only prince of Odea coming to build a house early in the morning, the master craftsmen inside couldn't help but joke with him.

"Grandpa Dwarf, my father doesn't care about me anymore. He said that I can come whenever I want from now on." The second prince named "Tao" knelt down and happily grabbed the beard of the oldest dwarf.

"Oh, oh, stop scratching, your beard is going to fall off."

The old man glared and slapped Tao's hand away. Although he looked angry on the surface, deep down he really liked the second prince, and the old man believed that not only him, but all the dwarves who built the house also liked him. The second prince.

This is not only because these old people watched Tao grow up, but also because Tao has shown amazing talent in machine craftsmanship. Most of these old people have lived long enough, and some of them already have their own apprentices. , but most people have not yet found a disciple they are satisfied with who can pass on the mantle.

With Tao's love for craftsmanship and amazing talent, as well as this little guy's cheerful and sincere character, the old house builders undoubtedly regard him as someone who can pass on their craftsmanship.

However, because Tao's status is too noble, it is not a good thing for a prince to be obsessed with craftsmanship. This is not the first time that Tao has been reprimanded for this matter. Therefore, although Tao comes to build houses and learn crafts almost every other time, these The old man was afraid that one day Tao would be beaten by his own emperor and would never come again!

Therefore, when these old people heard that Tao was allowed to build a house, they were many times happier than Tao.

"Dwarf grandfathers, what are we learning today?" Tao looked excitedly at the dozens of dwarf craftsmen who were building houses in the center. Every time Tao came over, he learned a lot, and the dwarf generals also taught them all. .

"No hurry, no hurry, but Tao, why did those attendants behind you bring so many things here?"

"Oh, those are the things in my room. I made an agreement with my father that I will live in the building from now on."

The craftsmen: "."

It's true that Tao really moved into the house and "huddled" with the dwarf craftsmen all day long. After a few days, these old people didn't realize that Tao was scolded by the emperor, so they were even more happy. He taught Tao his lifelong skills, and Tao learned quickly.

A year later, if it weren't for Tao's status as a prince, these old men would have wanted to award Tao the highest-ranking palace craftsman medal.

A year later, Tao and his brother Rad held a coming-of-age ceremony together. Originally, according to the tradition of the Odeya Empire, the coming-of-age ceremonies for princes needed to be held separately to show that each could be independent.

However, at the joint request of Tao and Ladd, the two brothers' coming-of-age ceremony was held together, which was unique in Odeya's history. It also reflected that the relationship between the two brothers was as hard as dragon crystal.

"Tao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Is it because my brother hasn't gone to build a house to see you recently? I'm really sorry. My brother has been too busy recently."

After the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, the two brothers finally had time to sit on the edge of the pond in the palace backyard. Ladd sat next to his younger brother, and Tao looked very concerned as he threw stones into the large pond, causing a lot of splashes. Water splashes and ripples ripple slightly in the moonlight.

"No, no, brother has done a lot for me." Although he is already over 18 years old, he is extremely innocent and protected by his brother and others in the palace. "If I want to say I am sorry for my brother, I should be Tao is right."

In the early days, every time Tao was caught running to build a house, Ladd would always plead for Tao, and Tao also knew that if it weren't for his brother, his father would not allow him to stay all day building a house like he is now.

He knew that his brother liked to read and had his own unique insights into politics and military strategies, but he did not like to live a life of intrigues and checks and balances with nobles and ministers.

But there is no way, the Odeya Emperor only has these two sons.

Therefore, Tao knew that his brother also knew that he did not like or live an imperial life, but in order to make his life easier and happier, Ladd could only take up the burden on his shoulders and actively participate in politics, and Ladd did a very good job communicating with nobles and weighing relationships with ministers.

There is only one emperor, and it is enough that the eldest son is already so good. Moreover, although Tao is immersed in craftsmanship, the relationship between the two brothers is very good, and there is no need to worry about any struggle for power. Therefore, the Odyssey Emperor simply let Tao go to work with the craftsman. People mingled.

It can be said that all the way down the road, the eighteen-year-old Tao can still be so innocent and comfortable because his brother protects him from the wind and rain.

Ladd put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? We are brothers. Besides, I am the eldest son. Of course I will inherit the throne from now on. But as we have agreed, you will not allow it in the future." Grab it."

Tao smiled and nodded, fist-bumping with his brother, the brotherly love was beyond words.

"Okay, can you tell me what's wrong with you? Is it because your father intends for you to marry the daughter of the Cavendish family? But she is quite beautiful." Seeing that his brother relaxed a little, he continued to tease.

"Actually, my dwarf grandfathers and I have been discussing the matter of mechanical species recently. We are very curious about the operating principle of mechanical species, and we also want to know whether mechanical species really have no emotions. After all, if mechanical species have no emotions, how can they be able to function since ancient times? What about being called an intelligent race?" Tao shook his head and ignored his brother's joke. He just frowned slightly and threw a stone into the pond with some depression.

"Is that because of this?" Ladd patted his brother's head gently.

"That's why it's called, this is a very important issue!" Tao retorted seriously.

"Okay, okay, isn't this simple?" Ladd stood up, "Brother hasn't given you a coming-of-age gift yet. If that's the case, then let me help you."

"Help me? Brother, you don't understand this, how can you help me?"

"Secret." Ladd raised his index finger mysteriously.

Tao didn't ask any more questions, but he knew that his brother would not let him down.

Sure enough, a month later, his brother gave him the most precious gift he had ever received in his life!

A mechanical species!
