Chapter 1010 The first priority if you want to become a mechanical sage is to learn to resist worldly desires.
“What? The mechanics from Transia came and asked to join our Mechanicus Church? Are they crazy? This organization is about to be destroyed. Who would jump on this sinking ship at this time?？
go！
let them go！
Don't come to entertain me, I'm bored.”
In the central area of Port Chardeau's intricate sewer structure, the former headquarters of the Mechanicus Church, Marvin, the great mechanical sage, was packing things in his laboratory, as if he was about to travel far away..
Faced with what his followers came to tell him, this world-weary great sage looked unhappy and casually dismissed his servants..
There is a reason for his anger and dissatisfaction.
His previous personal contact with Minx made him realize that it was completely impossible to retain the power of the Mechanicus Church in Port Chardeau, which meant that he himself would become one of the deportees..
This is really difficult for a halfling who has lived for three hundred years. When he gets old, he has to endure a wave of pain of being expelled..
But just talking about the experience of the Great Sage Marvin is legendary..
In the previous confrontation with the old Bach, Master Minks once revealed a trace of Marvin's past..
He was a mechanic of the same era as Minks and Old Flywheel, but he was much older than these two geniuses, and compared to those two who were amazingly talented in the field of engineering, although Marvin could also be called a master But after all, he was far behind in talent. What was even more unfortunate was that this guy suffered from an incurable disease when he was in his prime..
For this reason, he searched for almost every treatment method on the continent, and even considered joining the Church of Avalon for a time, but the power of the gods could not repair the disease he had brought from his mother's womb, which made Marvin despair at that time. Thinking that Minx and Old Flywheel's visit gave him a sinister idea.
Since the body cannot be cured, then use halfling methods to regain health..
At their suggestion, Marvin joined the Mechanical Church, which had just been formed at that time, in order to survive, and under the personal guidance of the old Bach, who was already a bit crazy, he had his prosthetic body replaced..
Marvin's prosthetic replacement is not as childish as replacing an arm..
The first operation he performed on himself was to replace his already fragile heart, and then he carried out very mechanical modifications on a series of organs, including kidneys and lungs. The entire transformation process lasted twelve years to complete. , and has been continuously updated and maintained over the next two hundred years..
The result is that Marvin abandoned almost all of his body, made his brain into wetware, and completed his self-save in a very evil and very cool way..
But this salvation comes at a price.
The purpose of Old Feilun and Minx in letting Marvin join the Church of the Machinery was not simple. It was because the disciples were worried about their mentor's mental state and specially placed an undercover agent next to Old Bach. But this is where the blame lies. After Bach's death, Marvin's mission came to an end, but he chose to stay in the Mechanicus..
This is also understandable.
After all, even in the halfling society, Marvin, who has no flesh from head to toe, is an alien among aliens. Except for the Church of the Machine, no other force will accept him as a "monster."”.
Marvin himself actually didn’t want to get involved in the struggle for power after the Church of the Machine lost its leader. He was essentially a weirdo who liked to mess around, and who liked dealing with machines far more than talking with life..
But his qualifications are there after all..
The first batch of followers and decades of studying with the old Bach are not something that those ambitious and latecomers can touch. After a lot of back and forth, Marvin worked his way up to the position of the great sage of the Church of the Machinery as an undercover agent. Really high authority.
However, Marvin still decisively chose to jump back when Old Bach called him..
As he said that day, the purpose of becoming like this was just to survive, and the longer he lived, the more afraid of death he became. He no longer wanted to participate in any so-called big things. He had never had anything more. I have great ambitions, but now I just want to keep going..
Until one day he is found and taken away by death, or forgotten by death.
It is a pity that after the other two great sages died, he is the only one left in the crumbling Church of the Machine. Marvin cannot just abandon these poor people and leave alone when it makes Marvin so annoying..
Marvin thinks that he is a mediocre guy, and his ability to reach this point is all driven by damn fate. Therefore, he pays more attention to mediocre mortals like himself than real geniuses. Without harming his own interests, he is I am very willing to help these poor poor people who have nowhere to go and are terrified..
Accepting the solicitation from Transia officials was the conclusion reached by Marvin and Minx after their previous conversation..
Minx told him it was the best option of all.
Murphy and his territory are now in urgent need of a group of mechanical talents, and there are not so many strict rules in the vampire territory. Transia is in the process of reconstruction. As long as Marvin seizes the opportunity, he can give his followers We create a better future than staying in Port-Chardeau.
Murphy even wants goats and jackals. The Church of the Machine is a real "high-end talent" there, and they will definitely be well taken care of..
Old Flywheel also persuaded Marvin to accept the recruitment, but this old guy's idea was more selfish, because Old Flywheel was tired of working in the arsenal and was no longer interested in manufacturing dragoons, so he planned to ask Marvin to take over. cylinder, he would be able to spend more time with Mosna to continue learning the secrets of the Creator's engineering..
Marvin is currently struggling with these matters closely related to the future. Naturally, he is not in the mood to discuss the initiation ceremony with a group of random foreigners..
But Marvin didn’t want to talk but couldn’t stand it. The players were really enthusiastic..
A few minutes later, the door of the laboratory was pushed open again, and the panic-looking followers shouted loudly:：
“Great sage! They're calling in！”
“who? Who called in? Steam Lord's city defense force? grass! I'm so depressed. Everyone thinks they can step on me.！”
Marvin suddenly became furious.
The Great Sage angrily shouted at the members to assemble, and the six mechanical arms behind him popped out like spiders, allowing the cutting psychic beam to be ready to go..
This gesture startled the followers who came to report the news, and he hurriedly explained：
“No, Great Sage, not the city defense army! They are the foreigners from Transia. They have rushed in and now occupy our hall and will not leave until they see you! They also said that their desire to join the Mechanicus Church was extremely strong, and they were not trying to amuse us. They also talked about career bonuses, what version of answers, and other incomprehensible words..
Brothers are all afraid.
These barbarians are very capable of fighting. We have lost all our mechanical beasts before and are no match for them now..”
“Um？”
Marvin's mechanical eyes flashed with doubt..
He put away his mechanical arm, picked up an exquisite mechanical cane from his hand, and pulled up his robe to cover his terrifying face that could scare a child into tears, and said：
“Let me go and take a look. You are here to help me pack my things. You must bring all the artifacts with you, and then pack the various equipment I made into boxes. If you lose one, you will lose an organ. Work hard! Unless you are tired of your flesh and blood life.”
“Ouch.”
The follower nodded, but he was not afraid of the great sage Marvin's threats..
Who in the entire church does not know that Sage Marvin is the most foul-mouthed but soft-hearted. In the past many years, he has not executed more than five punishments with his own hands. Compared to the other two ferocious and neurotic sages, Marvin is as gentle as a mechanical angel..
The moment the Great Sage left the laboratory, the panicked halfling whispered：
“The Great Sage, we, we, are going to be expelled, right? Can we ever return to Port Chardeau again?？”
This question with mixed emotions made Marvin stop. He turned around and glared at his apprentice who couldn't remember his name. He said：
“Do a good job! Don't think too much about things you shouldn't think about. Your mind can't think about such a complicated problem. As for whether you can come back, what's so good about this damn place? The mechanics of orthodox engineering are a bunch of weak idiots. We must leave here to achieve further development.
Don't cry！
Wipe your tears! weak fool.
The day you join the Mechanical Church, you should know that only cold machines are the most trustworthy friends in this world..
