The servants carried in a “person” who was about 1.5 meters tall.
“He” had a fair face, smooth golden hair and a cute look, like a child of about ten years old. On his shoulder stood a bright golden bird, whose feathers were dazzling and inlaid with tiny and intricate gems.
Soon, Luo Mi noticed that there were obvious metal-like protrusions on “his” back and arms. It was indeed a dummy.
Anos frowned slightly.
Prince Pearl took the golden bird from the dummy’s shoulder and patted the bird’s head gently.
The golden bird spread its jewel-studded wings and chirped crisply. Then the dummy moved its arms, mechanically raised its head, and opened its emerald green eyes.
He bowed slightly and said in a clear voice: “Good morning, my master.”
Prince Pearl introduced with a smile: “This is the latest product of the Empire’s mechanical research – the mechanical butler. By giving orders to the butler through the mechanical bird, many things can be accomplished. It is very convenient.”
Anos instinctively rejected this kind of thing and frowned, saying, “Creating life, even if it is just a life-like existence, has already entered God’s forbidden zone.”
Pearl explained calmly, “Your Highness may have misunderstood. This ‘Ark II’ is not a life, but just a mechanical product. It is no different in essence from a steam car or a clockwork watch. It is just different in appearance.”
Anos’ brows were still furrowed, but he said nothing more.
There was a difference between a steam engine and a clockwork… Luo Mi complained in his mind but asked with interest: “How does it get its energy?”
“Originally, a small steam engine was needed here.” Pearl pointed at the back of the mechanical butler Ark No. 2, “But since it was to be given to Mr. Lian, I made some adjustments last night. It is enough to charge it with the Holy Light of the Church.”
Energy could be changed at will? Luo Mi was a little surprised and immediately guessed that this thing probably provided two energy supply interfaces, holy light and steam, from the beginning.
Pearl glanced at Anos’s expression and said with a smile, “If your highness doesn’t like it, you can ask it to change its posture.”
He stroked the golden bird’s wings and pressed on the sparkling gems.
“Second form transformation, activated.”
As the golden bird cried, the mechanical butler’s limbs suddenly separated, revealing a complex mechanical gear structure under the skin, and began to deform and reorganize.
Ten seconds later, Ark No. 2, which looked like a half-grown child, turned into a dog lying on the ground.
However, its head was still like a human brain.
Luo Mi: “…”
It looks so scary.
Even Anos fell silent.
Pearl rarely showed a trace of embarrassment: “In fact, when I was developing the mechanical butler, I paid more attention to functionality, and I only considered the appearance recently. Before, when it was purely mechanical, it was not so… well, strange.”
He transformed Ark Two back into human form, “and only completed the appearance of this one form.”
Luo Mi was surprised: “Did His Highness Pearl develop this himself?”
Pearl smiled slightly, “Yes. The appearance of this mechanical butler is also based on a childhood photo. In fact, I wanted to name it ‘Pearl No. 2’, but His Majesty criticized it, thinking that naming an imperfect mechanical product after oneself would be a disgrace to the Pelant family.”
Luo Mi looked at the mechanical butler’s face carefully and found that it was indeed a little similar to Pearl, but not very obvious.
Next, Pearl demonstrated other functions of the mechanical butler to Luo Mi.
It went without saying that the mechanical butler had basic functions such as serving tea and pouring water. It also had different life-oriented functions such as squeezing juice, boiling milk, and cutting bread. The mechanical butler’s left index finger could be turned into a knife, the middle finger could be turned into a fork, and the ring finger could be turned into a spoon. There was also a storage space on the left arm with napkins, and the storage space on the right arm was for paper towels.
It was hard for Luo Mi not to wonder what this noble prince had gone through to come up with this plan.
Just when Luo Mi thought it was over, Prince Pearl suddenly said in high spirits: “These are all detailed designs. This is the part I put the most effort into – Ark No. 2, show us your weapons.”
Anos was startled: “Weapons?”
“Yes, master.” The mechanical butler agreed and raised his right arm. His palm suddenly deformed and retracted into his wrist, and then a cannon barrel stretched out.
Not only that, all kinds of gun barrels popped out from the mechanical butler’s back, arms, and legs, either obviously or vaguely, exuding a chilling coldness, and the entire robot had now turned into a weapon!
Anos’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he calmly placed his hand next to Luo Mi, and the Vatican’s emblem on the white gloves lit up.
Reinhardt also stood in front of Anos in an instant.
The air silently became stagnant.
Luo Mi, the only one who was not affected, looked at the mechanical butler with sparkling eyes: “Does it have energy now?”
How could he resist the temptation of a robot that could transform and clean the floor? If the situation wasn’t wrong, he would definitely try out its firepower!
Pearl maintained his elegant smile: “No, so it’s just for show for now.”
He handed the golden bird used to control the mechanical butler to Luo Mi. Luo Mi originally wanted to reach out to take it, but his sense of touch was still highly sensitive and he was a little afraid to move.
Anos took the initiative to reach out and take it.
Pearl looked at Anos calmly, then smiled and said, “I hope this gift will satisfy Lord Lian.”
