Chapter 524: Abandon the weak flesh and blood, embrace the body of steel
Hughes turned his head to look at Nora's body, then looked at her original owner: "Big Nora has no objection either."
Monica couldn't bear it any longer. She glared at Hughes fiercely: "Don't bully little Nora!"
Hughes did not continue fighting with the two of them. After thinking for a while, he squeezed some blood onto Nora's neck.
Blood flowed down Nora's broken face. Hughes took a step back and slowly withdrew his hand.
He no longer touched the broken surface. Nora, who was standing in place, shook a little, turned around, and stood in front of Monica.
She stretched out her hand, and Monica thoughtfully handed over her head.
Under Nora's surprised gaze, Nora carefully placed Nora on Nora.
Then “Can I control myself?”
"Yes." Hughes nodded, "And I didn't give any orders to Nora just now. She went to find you on her own."
Nora's eyes flickered and she looked at her hands: "You, you want to be with me? You don't plan to abandon me, right?"
【√】
Feeling the emotions rising in her heart, Nora smiled.
Then it fell to the ground with a thud.
Nora picked it up in a hurry and put it on her neck, but took it off again after a moment, hesitated for a moment, and turned to Hughes.
"It seems that my blood can only maintain the connection for a period of time. Perhaps applying more blood on it would be helpful? I guess I need to do further experiments."
"Then can I still go to the battlefield?" Nora asked tremblingly, then lowered her head and whispered: "Sorry, I was a little too excited."
She had never mentioned this topic since her death. To be fair, Castel had helped her a lot and didn't owe her anything. Nora felt that she had no right to ask for more.
But at this moment, hope was within reach, and she really couldn't suppress her pounding heart.
Even though her heart is not connected with her. Never mind.
"Well, maybe I can provide some help with this matter."
Everyone looked at the person who spoke—Richard—in surprise.
Richard first turned to Hughes and bowed slightly: "My Lord, there has been some progress in the matter of Chloe's body. Although it has not been completely resolved, there is hope. And Nora's situation is suitable."
"I wonder how much you know about the Mechanical Temple?"
Most people shook their heads. Even within the church, the Mechanical Templar was a very small organization. As a church, it did not even have any extraordinary paths or beings. Many people had never heard of this name.
"The Mechanical Temple is a religious organization composed of pure mortals. They have some magical technology involving human body modification. To put it simply, it combines the human body with machinery."
"Unfortunately, this technology is too difficult to implement. Most of it has been lost. Even the Mechanical Temple can only keep some incomplete transformation technology."
"I have tried to do some research, but it is still at the basic level. It is barely possible to control machines with human consciousness, but it is too difficult to let machines replace the functions of human organs."
At this point, Richard looked at Nora, with a bit of emotion in his expression: "But Ms. Nora doesn't seem to need to maintain life. You already have considerable immortality, which makes it much easier."
"I can design a mechanical body for you and put you in it to control you."
"The mechanical body is much stronger than flesh and blood, and it is also very convenient to add weapons. It can completely solve the problem of the Dragon Breath Cannon being not portable enough. If you need to fight, I think this is a good choice."
As Xius listened to his description, a series of images emerged in his mind:
Nora's head was embedded in a huge metal mecha, with a bunch of pipes and wires connected to her neck. Every time the steel mechanical feet stepped on the ground, the battlefield would tremble. The speakers roared with electric noise, and the huge mecha swung the electronic flail that kept playing the holy book and charged forward.
Why, why do I feel so handsome?
Nora was obviously moved, but she looked at Nora who was holding her with some reluctance, and shook her head: "Mr. Richard, I appreciate your kindness, and I am willing to cooperate with your experiment. Maybe one day in the future I will control a mechanical body and step into the battlefield as you said, but now, I don't plan to abandon my body."
"Just as she has never abandoned my head."
Xius felt quite emotional after hearing this.
He had always said that she was Nora's weakness, but he didn't expect that neither of them abandoned each other. Perhaps the inability to abandon each other is the weakness.
"Then Nora, you should stay in Castel for now. Richard and other researchers will help you find a way to control your body for a long time. Monica, you should also join the research."
Monica's eyes lit up: "Boss, you finally let me join the formal research?"
Yes, Hughes had allowed Monica to join the army and go to the front line, but he had never allowed her to conduct research.
At that time, she, Chloe and Gaia were responsible for 120% of the explosion accidents at the test site - the three of them even caused explosions outside the test site.
Therefore, Hughes has only allowed Monica to participate in the research indirectly, that is, to provide some ideas, but not to formally join.
After all, it might be difficult for Castel to be conquered by foreign enemies, but it is really possible for Monica to send the entire island to the sky.
"You, you should be more careful in the future. Gaia is much more mature now, and Chloe is no longer so heartless. You should stop making trouble."
Monica didn't know how much of it she heard, because the entire testing ground was filled with her happy laughter that day.
"Name?"
"Grigori, they all call me Grisha." The boy looked nervously at the girl opposite who was registering him.
"Well, Grisha, have you ever been to school?"
"No."
"Can you read?"
"I" Grisha opened his mouth. He wanted to say that Lady Nora had taught him some spelling, but in the end he did not speak.
His spelling is really bad, even his own name is written crookedly, and he is far from being able to recognize words.
“I can’t read.”
"Have you ever been exposed to other religions before, such as the scriptures of the Temple of Silence?"
"The priest of the Silent Temple occasionally explains the doctrine in the village, but, but I..."
Grisha's face flushed red, and he wanted to find a hole to crawl into in embarrassment. He answered in a voice as small as a mosquito's hum: "I, I basically don't know either."
The girl stopped writing, and Grisha looked at her anxiously.
She wouldn't chase me away, would she? The girl smiled.
"Yes, you are the one with the best quality among this group of people."
