The young shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he looked at Amiya carefully for a while. After confirming that it was indeed knitting, he pinched his thigh and rubbed his eyes...
In short, it is all kinds of unbelievable.
After he tried all the means to keep himself awake, he finally calmed down, and asked Gallo quickly:
"How on earth did you do it?"
"Although this 'Black Reaper' has the most advanced instruction module and the most cutting-edge instruction set, it is far superior to all previous golems in terms of operability..."
"But the command to knit a sweater obviously cannot be the original command. You modified the command set? Are you a puppet master who participated in the research and development and design?"
It seems that he interpreted Amiya's knitting as an order from Gallo.
This is indeed easier to accept than the statement that 'the puppet knits its own sweater'.
Gallo showed a speechless expression, and said angrily:
"It wants to knit a sweater by itself, not my order!"
"If I'm really a puppet master, do I still need to buy your book?"
"Although it is a bit stupid, it has a real soul, and it cannot be compared with your toys!"
The young shopkeeper couldn't help being taken aback, with that collapsed look on his face, he kept muttering:
"Impossible... This is impossible... How can a puppet generate self-awareness? How can it generate a soul?"
But he immediately realized that what he said was wrong, and quickly changed his words:
"No... This statement is not accurate. It should be said, how can such a crude weapon of war produce a soul?"
After that, he squatted down like no one else was there, kept writing and drawing on the floor with his fingers, and babbled a lot of professional terms that others could not understand.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head again and asked Gallo:
"Can I take a closer look at it?"
Gallo didn't mind.
But Amiya mind...
The young man just got close to it, when it stretched out its big hand and pushed it away unceremoniously, anyway, it was a tug, "Don't beat me!" ' look.
The young man fell back a long way, and finally lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He didn't feel the pain at all, and a strange look appeared on his face, and he continued to mutter:
"How could this be? Such a distance, and the actions I adopted, according to the records in the literature, shouldn't trigger the RX-78-GP03D's self-warning mechanism at all?"
"But it's not right? If I triggered the alert mechanism just now, it shouldn't be so gentle to push me away, but should attack directly..."
Although this young man was a little crazy when he saw Amiya, he should still have something in his stomach, and he was very familiar with the performance of Amiya's puppet.
He knew very well that although the other party's actions were rough, they had actually held back their hands and only used a small amount of force. If he followed the normal strength of the 'Black Death', he would probably die immediately.
"Able to adjust its strength to the situation by itself...does it really have a soul?"
The young man murmured to himself, then hurriedly got up from the ground, disregarding his embarrassment, and begged Jia Luo without dignity:
"Please, give me one last test!"
"It's just a very simple test. It doesn't take much time. It just requires you to cooperate with me a little bit."
Gallo shrugged, beckoning him to hurry up.
"First of all, can you tell it not to attack me? I need to get a little closer, but I promise not to get too close, and I won't reach out to touch it..."
"It already knows."
Gallo replied.
The young shopkeeper couldn't help being slightly surprised again...
He didn't see Gallo's extra movements, nor did he hear any orders from him.
And if the puppet really doesn't attack itself after a while, it means that it can really understand what it says! And judge for yourself!
This is already very telling!
And if it passes its next test...
The young shopkeeper regained his composure and bravely approached Amiya, even closer than before.
This time, Amiya did not attack again!
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the young shopkeeper.
He quickly greeted Amiya:
"Hi, hello, can we make a little game?"
Amiya didn't pay attention to him, looking very cold.
But the other party took out a biscuit the size of a coin and a gold coin from his arms, put them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to Amiya.
"It's a very simple little game..."
"Look, here are two round things, you can pick the one you like better..."
"I'll put them in pockets in a moment, and then, I want you to guess which one you like goes in that pocket..."
"If you guess right, I'll give it to you as a gift, how about it?"
Although the rules of the game he made sound simple, for a soulless puppet, it is a very abstract and troublesome problem.
They first need to know the difference between gold coins and cookies.
Distinguishing these two things is easy for humans, but it is a huge problem for golems. They don't even know how to distinguish them.
This first step alone is already very difficult. The young man himself has been working hard in the store for many years, but he has barely achieved this step, and he still uses some relatively mechanical and rigid methods.
And even after passing the first level, there will be a second level that is more difficult.
Which one is your favourite
What should I like
what is like
To the puppet, every question is like a human philosophical question, profound and obscure.
Even if these two steps are done, in the end he still has to bypass his tricks and find something out of his pocket...
What is involved in this is a pocket? What kind of action should I use to find things out and other problems.
This set of testing methods was invented by the young store owner himself, and he had not disclosed it to the outside world before. It was impossible for Gallo to respond and prepare in advance.
In short, this test sounds simple, but for a puppet, it is tantamount to the ultimate trial.
Once passed, it will mean that it really has a soul, the same soul as a human being!
The young shopkeeper was full of anticipation and uneasiness, and moved his hand closer.
Amiya put down the knitting needle in her hand, then waved her hand again, and drove away the little milk cat who wanted to take the opportunity to play with knitting.
Then, it looked down at the biscuits and gold coins in the opponent's hand.
Then, it stretched out its hand suddenly, pinched the opponent's ankle, and lifted him upside down, shaking vigorously.
The young shopkeeper could no longer care about testing or not, and immediately let out a scream like killing a pig:
"Wow! Help! Help!"
Several coins jingled out of him, gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, everything, and the amount was really quite a lot.
In addition, pocket watches, bracelets, brooches, key chains, and other accessories fell out, and even a few shiny gems.
Amiya didn't let go of him until nothing fell from him, bent down, picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one, and put them into her stomach.
Then, as if nothing had happened, it sat back and continued knitting.
Gallo, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help laughing, and asked Amiya:
"You keep the money yourself? Don't you turn it in?"
Amiya quickly covered her stomach with her hands, shaking her head non-stop.
"Then you can keep it if you like it, but you have a puppet, what's the use of asking for money?"
Gallo joked again.
But the dizzy young shopkeeper retorted loudly:
"Nonsense! She's not a puppet! She's a real person!"
After all, he struggled and tried to stand up, but he was dizzy, so he could only sit on the ground weakly, and said weakly:
"She...she..."
"You... how did you... do it...?"
"Hehe, I don't know either."
Gallo replied seriously.
The young shopkeeper slowed down on the ground for a long time before he managed to get up, casually picked up the things that fell on the ground, and rushed to Jia Luo impatiently, grabbed his hand, and said sincerely:
"Master, accept me as a student!"
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"
Gallo shook his hand quickly, he knew nothing about puppets, and even had to spend a lot of time for a few basic books, why should he accept students
Besides, this kind of guy who hides in the house and plays with dolls is perverted. If it wasn't for those hard-to-buy books, I wouldn't want to deal with him much.
"Master, I mean it from the bottom of my heart!"
The young shopkeeper said, disregarding his dignity, and planned to kneel down.
Gallo quickly supported her, and said seriously:
"I really don't know what a puppet is. The reason why I brought you here was because I wanted to show you what a real puppet with a soul is like..."
"So, do you still think your soulless toys can sell for 1,000 gold?"
"No no no, they're worthless!"
The young shopkeeper shook his head vigorously, and said very seriously:
"Master, you want those books, I'll go back and get them for you!"
"Also, master, which toy do you like, just ask, and I will give it to you for free!"
"As long as you can point me to a few words so that I can see a little bit of the mysteries of the soul!"
Gallo is speechless...
I'm a pastor, I know the soul of a fart
In order not to let the other party misunderstand, he planned to have a good chat with him.
The garden was obviously not a place for conversation, so Gallo took the man back to the church.
But when he walked into the church, he suddenly remembered that he had moved to a new church. There is no confession room here, and the confession room is separate...
Moreover, Lilian Luo, who was supposed to be in charge of guarding the church and receiving guests, was lying on the bench, fast asleep.
Her petite body curled up into a ball, looking like a cute little animal. Although she was well dressed, she deliberately took off her shoes, revealing a pair of little feet wrapped in white stockings.
The huge church was deserted and deserted, only a pitiful little milk cat was guarding the door, whimpering at Gallo.
No wonder Lilian Luo didn't pounce on me when I came back...
No wonder there are only four kittens playing around Amiya...
Gallo now knew why.
But now is not the time to worry about these things, let's settle accounts later.
He first asked the young shopkeeper to sit upright on the bench, and then asked:
"Name, age, place of origin, occupation!"
The other party quickly replied:
"My name is Ma De, I am 23 years old, I come from... from a remote countryside, and I am a puppeteer."
"Okay, Ma De, I have to tell you some truths, and I will break your unrealistic fantasy."
Gallo then briefly talked to the other party about his purpose of buying books and golems, and confessed that he actually did it to design an enchantment, and repeatedly emphasized that he knew nothing about golems.
But the other party seemed to be unable to understand human words, and said very stubbornly:
"But your puppet has a real soul, doesn't it?"
"Let me join your research! By watching and studying, I may be able to glimpse some mysteries..."
"Of course, I will not disturb your research. At the same time, I am willing to share the knowledge of puppetology with you for free. Moreover, my previous promise is still valid."
"Just need you to let me watch."
Hearing his words, Gallo really couldn't say much.
He was somewhat moved by the other party's sincerity, and his impression of him has changed a lot.
It seems that this guy really wants the golem to have a soul, not to sell his own toys.
Moreover, the other party has already promised to give something, and said these words in front of the goddess in the church, which constitutes an act of worship, and there is no way for him to refuse.
After weighing it up and down, Gallo finally nodded.
Made jumped up for joy, as happy as a child.
The two of them planned to go back to the puppet shop to get those books and a puppet back.
Misseran stayed and helped Gallo guard the church.
Although it is nonsense to ask a bishop of another denomination to help look at the church, there is no way, what if someone comes to the door? There must always be a talking creature in the church, right
I can only blame Lilian Luo for being so unreliable...
On the way back to the puppet shop in the carriage, Gallo suddenly remembered a detail, and asked again:
"Are there any puppets in your store that are smaller?"
Anyway, the puppet was brought back for experimentation, not for play. Since it is an experiment, it must be moved around. Naturally, it is better to choose a smaller one, which is convenient to use.
Made suddenly showed a comprehensible smile, and said:
"It turns out that this mouthful of hello master..."
"However, the styles in my store are only for older women. Do you want me to order a special one that meets the requirements?"
"No, no, no, no, no."
Gallo waved his hands again and again.
I always feel that this guy has something wrong...
