"Ren, I want to tell you so much, just to make you understand that medicine is to better benefit all mankind, and is not the privilege of a certain class, nor is it used as a means to seek glory and wealth... "
Ilubek said earnestly.
It seemed that he didn't want the disciple he accepted to make the same mistake again.
"No, teacher..."
To be honest, Renn really has no interest in being a noble under this social system.
What kind of enjoyment has not been seen at the end of the 21st century? He really has no interest in these so-called noble rights. The "intelligent brain" can create the pleasure brought about by dopamine secretion.
After finally traveling through it, it was still a mysterious fantasy world. Isn't it great to pursue this legend and become a god with extraordinary power
He shook his head and said with certainty: "My ambition has never been about glory and wealth. I just want to see how far this extraordinary road in this world can go... "
"Um."
Irubek looked into his eyes and nodded happily.
Ren asked again: "Teacher, have you noticed something? Do you think that because you just rejected the Winster family's surgery proposal, it will cause trouble?"
... .
Under normal circumstances, the West family would not dare to do anything to Ilubek in the face of the world's disapproval.
But like that "Prince Fox" back then, there's no telling if he would do something crazy before he died.
"Not to mention that 'head transplant surgery' is an immature technology. Even if the technology is mature, I will never agree to it no matter what."
Ilubek's tone was as decisive as it was ten years ago.
He glanced around the sewer laboratory and sighed: "In order to have a stable research environment, I rejected the Sid Empire and the generous invitations from various major forces. I came to this sewer to get a laboratory. In order to be able to do research quietly..."
After a pause, he said with a complicated expression: "Now it seems that this purity will not last long..."
After hearing this, Ren said: "Teacher, no matter how arrogant those guys in the West family are, they will never dare to attack you, right?"
During this time, he also fully understood the Glory City contribution system.
As long as they can pay their "contribution points" on time, according to the city's laws, no one has the right to evict them.
Although the Winston family is the actual controller of the Fifth City District, they do not dare to abolish the most important rules of the Glory City.
Otherwise, most of the hunters who originally came to the "Glory City" were bounty criminals, fugitives, and speculators who gathered from all directions... If the rules were broken, wouldn't there be an uproar
"Why... "
Irubek obviously knew more about the inside story and said: "If the Grand Magister Kavo is still in charge, no one will dare 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 this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Huh? Are you suspecting that... the [Great Polymath] Cavo Ramirez, who founded the Glory City, might have had an accident, such as... Shou The yuan is about to end?"
Being one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" eighty years ago, his longevity is almost the same.
"No."
Ilubek 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 his longevity is very long. healthy... "
"Huh? Then this..."
Ren was confused when he heard this.
With the "Top Ten Legends" great mage and the six-story magic tower in the city, the possibility of external causes is extremely low.
Since it is not an external cause and it is not about the end of life, then why
Ilubek was obviously confused and said: "It is also because Master Kawo has not interfered in the affairs of the city in the past few years. Now the five major families have more and more control over power, and the privileged class has sprouted. This is a very bad situation." The phenomenon."
"Teacher, the worst possible scenario is that we get out of here."
Renn made a decisive statement: "Wherever you go, I will follow you!"
Irubek shook his head, feeling that although the world is big, he has nowhere to go. "If the Glory City is controlled by those powerful people and there is no free scientific research environment, then staying here is different from staying in Austria." Ma, or Sid, what’s the difference?”
Ren frowned as he heard this.
A previous reward order had forced him to come to this "City of Glory" with no place to stay in Oma. Now if the only country not under the jurisdiction of the two empires cannot tolerate them, the future will indeed be difficult.
"Hey... how about..."
Ren suddenly thought of something and suggested: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is planning to establish a new principality. Judging from her plan, it seems that she is also preparing to engage in a 'New Deal'. How about we go to that new territory?"
"It's not easy for that girl Ymir to build a city here..."
Ilubek shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Besides, the matter is not that bad. At least Master Kawo is still there, and the major families in the city dare not exceed their authority. Besides, even if they really send me back to Hui Omar, they will What can I do? I will never provide Omar with anything again in my life... "
"oh."
Ren pursed his lips.
Irubek looked at his new disciple again and said: "Ren, you are the most talented student I have ever accepted. I am telling you so much today just to let you understand that science is for the great benefit of all mankind." Existence. This is true for potions, steam technology, and medicine... Without this kind of pure belief, it will be difficult for you to reach the extreme in this field. Calm down and study hard... "
After he said these words, it seemed that the suffocation in his heart was relieved.
At this time, the eight spider arms behind him began to work again, turning back into the scientific research madman who was not willing to waste a second.
"I understand, teacher."
Ren nodded.
At this point, it was hard for him to say anything else.
Although the old man's words made sense, he always felt that something was wrong.
... .
Early the next morning, Renn got up on time and took the intercity train to the martial arts gym to practice martial arts.
Then during lunch time, we went to the "Central Library" again.
He has been in the library every day for more than a month and has become 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 the books on this floor is much higher. You don’t have to spend time to dig out classics from the tens of millions of collections like on the first floor. There is a random book on the second floor, all of which are exquisite.
When going upstairs, Ren met the administrator who looked like Marx again.
This old man seems to live in the library 24 hours a day, and you can see him sorting books here every time.
"Hey... this old administrator actually has time to play poker today?"
Renn was a little surprised.
He has been coming every day for more than a month. 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 this old man should be the kind of homeless old man who was alone, otherwise he wouldn't be able to spend all day in the library.
And this time, you actually have the leisure to sit at the table and play poker with others? He seems to be an acquaintance.
He didn't go over to say hello, but glanced at the man in black cloak sitting opposite the bearded administrator.
The cloak covers his face, and he is mysterious. He 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, but Ren didn't hear any sound.
He probably used shielding magic to avoid affecting other people.
Ren thought so.
He didn't care either. It was normal for the administrator in the library to know some magic. Without thinking much, he walked straight to a bookshelf that he had not read before and started another day of "turning through books".
... ..
As for Ren's arrival, the two card players didn't even look at it.
As he expected, there was a magic barrier near this small table that isolated everything.
The guy in the black cloak flipped the poker in his hand as if he was playing spider cards.
Suddenly an intruder came to the second floor. He immediately took out an Ace of Hearts in his hand, smacked it and smacked his lips, seeming to point out: "Tsk, tsk, where is the Ace of Spades... The smallest point can be found in some poker rules." Here, this is also the biggest card.”
The man in the cloak looked at the bearded administrator with a calm expression opposite him, with a sinister curve coming out of the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "You think so, right?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he had already turned over the next card, the King of Clubs.
"What a great card!"
Seeing the cards, the cloaked man's aura suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly burst out with an almost hysterical excitement.
Like a gambler at the end of his rope, he couldn't wait to put out all his chips, grinned his white teeth and said with a sinister smile: "Master Cavo, would you like to play a game? The kind of gambling on your life."
