“I think it’s better to put this away.”
Anos placed the golden bird on the table and watched the mechanical bird with jewels on its feathers jumping around on the table. “It’s too dangerous.”
Reinhardt nodded silently behind Anos.
Luo Mi squatted in front of the mechanical butler. When he heard Anos’ voice, he turned around with excitement in his eyes: “What did you say?”
Anos sighed helplessly and repeated, “The safety of mechanical products manufactured by the Alpha Empire is questionable. If this mechanical butler were to misfire, it would bring serious consequences.”
“I’ve studied it.” Luo Mi stood up and took two steps excitedly, but he was grimacing because of the friction of his clothes. He had to slowly walk to the table and then pointed at the golden bird. “It can disable the weapon module through instructions. It supports detailed customization. It can disable a certain weapon separately, and it can also be reorganized through coding…”
The different colored gems on the golden bird’s wings represented different buttons, each with its own coding logic.
Prince Pearl provided the coding language and instructions. Luo Mi, who had taken a required programming course in college, quickly understood it. However, he did not dare to actually operate it because he felt excited just by touching it.
After listening to him, Anos and Reinhardt fell silent, looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
As non-institute members of the Holy See, they were undoubtedly mechanical idiots.
Anos asked, “How do you know?”
Luo Mi instantly became alert, his brain started spinning at high speed, and he finally gave an ambiguous answer: “I vaguely remember that I seem to have learned something similar somewhere before.”
He was prepared to attribute any further questions to the omnipotent divine revelation.
Anos didn’t know what was going on in his mind. He didn’t ask any more questions. He just sighed softly, and then his expression became more serious: “Don’t be too obsessed with these mechanical creations of the Alpha Empire. The misunderstanding of God’s will and the heresy of alchemy started with these mechanical creations.”
Luo Mi understood why Anos said that.
Essentially, the purpose of science was to explore the world from a perspective that humans could understand and reproduce. Machinery or alchemy were different means produced according to different times and situations and belonged to a stage of exploration. However, for the Holy See, which used faith as a means of control, exploring the world was a blasphemy against the gods and was something that needed to be strictly prohibited.
Of course, there really were supernatural powers in this world, which had led to changes in the Vatican – there were research institutes within the Vatican, but research was prohibited from outsiders, or even from heretics with inconsistent beliefs.
In essence, it was to monopolize advanced technology.
Luo Mi had previously considered whether to shake Anos’s faith from this point, but after the incident with the Shadow, Luo Mi changed his mind.
On the one hand, shaking the mind might not be effective, but it could easily arouse suspicion; on the other hand, Luo Mi suspected that every time he shook Anos, Anos’s negative Shadow, would also be affected, so he warned him not to start from this aspect when they met last time.
Thinking of Shadow’s pettiness, Luo Mi was really afraid that he would be eaten by Shadow the next time they met.
When Luo Mi thought about what happened last night, he couldn’t help but think of the friendly advice the system gave him and subconsciously glanced at Anos.
Anos spoke to Reinhardt from a distance. Reinhardt handed Anos a stack of information, then glanced at Luo Mi dimly and went out carrying the mechanical butler.
When Anos turned his head, Luo Mi immediately looked away and pretended to be looking at the painting on the wall.
Anos didn’t notice and just said gently, “There’s no one else here now, take off your clothes.”
Luo Mi: “……?!”
He wouldn’t have thought too much about it at other times, but the situation was special now. Luo Mi’s cheeks flushed and he stammered, “What, what are you doing?”
Anos was a little confused: “Didn’t I say I would examine you? Since you didn’t want to go to the research institute, I asked them for the equipment and the pattern of the magic array. Don’t worry, no one else will show up, only me.”
It would be better if there were someone else! Luo Mi opened his mouth and tried to save the situation: “It would be inconvenient if Reinhardt is not here, right?”
Anos smiled knowingly and said gently, “I know you are still under the influence of Green Heart. Don’t worry, no matter who it is, they will not appear between us now.”
“This, this place is not too good… there is no bed…” Luo Mi wanted to bite his tongue when he said this.
What was he talking about?
Fortunately, the pure and upright Saint Son did not think of it in a crooked way: “The reception room is more spacious, and the magic array and instruments take up more space.”
Luo Mi couldn’t come up with any other reason, so he said, “Then I’ll take off my clothes after the equipment comes.”
“We’re here.” Anos took out a piece of information from the stack of documents that Reinhardt had just handed over and took a look at it. He slightly pulled his white gloves, and pure white holy light flowed from his fingertips.
The holy lights swirled around in place as if they had life and finally condensed into a complex void magic circle. Then the magic circle lit up with a faint light, and a square box gradually appeared above the magic circle and fell lightly into Anos’s palm.
Luo Mi was stunned: “Is this a teleportation array?”
“No.” Anos put the box aside and set up a magic array again, condensing an instrument that looked a bit like a searchlight, and replied, “I told you before that the power of God created the world, so as long as you master the correct structure, magic can use the divine power to directly create the corresponding object.”
Luo Mi watched Anos create various inspection instruments one after another, just like the creator god in mythology, and was shocked with a lot of envy: “This is too cool, is this what it looks like to not be very good at magic?”
Didn’t rubbing everything with your hands violate the law of conservation of matter? Although this kind of thing may not exist in this world…
Seeing the undisguised yearning for divine arts in Luo Mi’s eyes, Anos felt a little relieved.
There was no need for him to do it so conspicuously, but seeing how fond Luo Mi was of the Empire’s machinery, he subconsciously felt that the Vatican’s divine arts should not lose to the Empire’s mechanical creation technology.
This was also a sign of piety towards God. Anos thought so and smiled contentedly: “No, this is similar to when I created antibiotics to treat diseases. In fact, it is a relatively basic divine art. However, the more complex something is, the more difficult it is to analyze and simulate its structure. The instruments used by the Holy See are not a problem in this regard.”
At this point, Anos had already created a counter with his hands and gently patted the various bottles and jars on the counter. “Another problem is that the divine power consumed by these complex and large items is increasing exponentially. Even a bishop would find it difficult to bear it.”
It just so happened that although Anos, an angel on earth, used his magic poorly, but he had too much holy light overflowing.
“Okay, take off your clothes and lie down.” Anos took off the white gloves he usually used to perform magic, picked up a silver ring from the cabinet and put it on his index finger, and said gently, “Let me check the internal condition of your body first.”
Seeing that Luo Mi was staring at his hand and was hesitant to move, Anos thought that Luo Mi was worried, so he explained, “I took off the gloves so that I could directly feel your body temperature. The ring contains magic for examination, and it will not cause any harm to you.”
Luo Mi’s eyelashes trembled.
——It seems that there is no way to avoid it… It’s okay, as long as he doesn’t think too much and just treats it as a check-up in the hospital. The only difference is that the attending doctor is someone he knows. He used to go to the bathhouse together with his friends in high school and have water fights with others. As a straight man, why should he be so nervous?
Luo Mi prepared himself mentally. After a long while, he let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and began to undress with determination.
Anos picked up a spray bottle, put some milky white cream on his fair and well-proportioned hands and rubbed it evenly. He waited patiently for Luo Mi and kindly reminded him: “Remember to take off all your clothes.”
