Doudou was crowned king!
Source.
The King of the Machinery Race had single-handedly created the once incomparably glorious Machinery Civilization. He had researched liquid metal, super engines, and other high-tech products that no one could surpass even now.
A long, long time ago, Radix had been summoned to the Law Realm by the Law Adepts, and there had been no news of him ever since. The mechs had also suffered a devastating blow after losing their leader, and were wiped off the star charts by the Law Adepts.
This was a humiliating history that not a single mech would ever forget. Now that the Sentinel Goddess had suddenly announced that Radix was still alive in the Law Realm, everyone was shocked!
"Lord Radix is still alive?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
Dimsky and Warstar anxiously asked. The Sentinel Goddess nodded. "Back then, I only learned of the Law Adepts' plan to wipe out the ancient human civilization because my father sent me a message. He seemed to be very flustered, and after a few simple questions about my life in human society, he left.
Everyone sighed. Meng Tian asked, "Did Lord Yuan try to contact you again after that?"
"So far, I've had a total of three short conversations with my father. The first time was not long after we settled down in the Pan-Human Alliance, the second time was before the extinction of the ancient humans, and the last time was when we were drifting in the universe. My father gave me the coordinates and guided us to this hidden universe. Since then, my father has never appeared again."
"From those simple conversations, I could only learn that Father is still alive, living in the universe controlled by the Law Adepts. His actions are restricted, and he cannot contact us as he pleases."
Warstar and Dimsky appeared to be very sorrowful. The Law Realm was far too mysterious to them, and no one even knew where that part of space was. They really wanted to follow in the footsteps of their late king, but alas, that was nothing more than a pipe dream. The universe was so vast, so where would they even begin to search?
The Sentinel Goddess looked at Xia Fei and sternly asked, "Did you just say that you'll be going to the world of Law Adepts in two years?"
Xia Fei nodded. That's right. Two years, three months, and eleven days later.
The Sentinel Goddess fell silent. "Warstar, Dimsky, I have some things to say to Xia Fei. Leave us for now."
"Yes!" Warstar and Dimsky respectfully withdrew, leaving only Xia Fei and the Sentinel Goddess' projection in the room.
"I hope that you can help me find my father," the sentinel goddess said in a trembling voice.
Xia Fei laughed. "I also hope that you can help me build the Titan warship."
The Sentinel Goddess was stunned and frowned. "Is this your condition?"
"No, it's just a constructive suggestion. No one wants to live in the shadows, and I believe you are the same."
"But building a Titan warship is very dangerous. If the Law Adepts find out …"
Xia Fei replied, "Risk is everywhere. There's always a price to pay if you want to live freely."
The Sentinel Goddess said, "If I'm the one who builds the Titan, aren't you afraid that I'll use this superweapon against humanity?"
Xia Fei shook his head. "Humans aren't that powerful. If you really want to deal with them, just the hundreds of millions of robot warriors under you is more than enough. You've been living in the Hidden Realm for so many years, yet you've never taken a single step out, so it's clear that robots are trustworthy. I'm willing to take this risk."
"I am gratified by your trust. I will do as you say. Robots and humans will forever be friends," the Sentinel Goddess said cheerfully.
Xia Fei said, "I also promise you that I'll do my best to find your father once I get to the Law Realm."
The Sentinel Goddess was clearly very excited. The thought of being able to reestablish contact with her father made this enormous AI robot feel very complicated emotions. Though she had existed for a very, very long time, the path from a robot to a true human was still not an end, and there was still much for her to learn.
"I remember that you have a loyal servant robot by your side?" the Sentinel Goddess asked.
"That's right. His name is Pod."
"You can leave now. Leave Pod and the soul by your side behind."
Xia Fei was startled, not understanding what she meant.
"The basis of our cooperation is trust. You chose to trust me; you said so yourself," the Sentinel Goddess reminded Xia Fei.
With a smile, Xia Fei took out Lil Pea from his spatial ring and gently placed the Moore Stone on his neck on the ground.
"You can't leave me behind!" Phantom anxiously said.
"Master, don't you want Pod anymore?" Pod was on the verge of tears.
Xia Fei could not bear to see the two of them like this, but he gritted his teeth, waved at Pod and Phantom, and left.
"In three months, I'll send them back to your side," the Sentinel Goddess softly said.
…
There had been one man, one ball, one robot, and one ghost when he left, but only one man and one ball were left when he returned. Xia Fei could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Fortunately, the Sentinel Goddess seemed to have found her motivation to move forward and was no longer caught up in the conflict in her heart. Helping Xia Fei build the Titan warship and waiting for news from Radix would be her main tasks for a very long time.
Blood Candle Kingdom, Constantine's palace.
"Xia Fei! You're finally back! Where have you been for the past month? "Constantine anxiously asked.
Xia Fei was the master of Terminus, so he would not be able to escape responsibility if he went missing in the Blood Candle territory. Besides, the matter of Magnared Alloy had only just begun, and everything was still waiting for Xia Fei's approval.
"I just took a walk," Xia Fei indifferently said.
Constantine's face darkened. "You took a walk for more than a month? Just where did you go? "
Xia Fei smiled and did not reply. He followed Constantine into his residence and took a seat beneath the grape trellis. A servant brought over some refreshments. He had no food or drink in the robot world, and he had to rely on unpalatable compound food to stave off his hunger. Xia Fei's mouth had long since become bland.
After wolfing down the food, Xia Fei wiped his mouth and casually asked, "How's the matter with the alloy?"
Constantine hurriedly took out a thick stack of plans and handed it to Xia Fei. These detailed the amount of alloy that the Blood Candle Kingdom would sell to Xia Fei every year for the next ten years, as well as a list of the resources they hoped to exchange for it.
Blood Candle was barren and needed mostly food, basic equipment, medicine, and some luxury goods, presumably exclusive to the kingdom's privileged class.
The price was naturally cheap, not much different from the somewhat inferior tritanium alloy. Even if Xia Fei used the alloy to build a house, it would not be a waste. The more tedious part was the transportation. Many of the things that Blood Candle needed could not be produced in the Terminus Star Region, so they needed to be shipped from the Alliance and then resold to Terminus. However, Xia Fei now had a transport fleet of one thousand and two hundred cargo ships that shuttled back and forth between the Alliance and Terminus every month, so these requirements were naturally not a problem for him.
"No problem. Deal." Xia Fei closed the list and happily said.
Constantine's heart finally calmed down. Xia Fei felt that the alloy was cheap, as if he had picked it up for free, but the people of Blood Candle viewed it as an enormous fortune. As the saying went, poverty stunted ambition, and the Blood Candle Kingdom was a barren wasteland.
"In addition, you will also receive a batch of weapons and warships as compensation for acting as my agent in purchasing the alloy. With guns and warships, I believe I don't need to remind you what to do," Xia Fei added.
Constantine repeatedly nodded, gratefully looking at Xia Fei. It was clear that Xia Fei was giving him this batch of equipment to help him establish his faction in the empire and prepare for the upcoming struggle for power.
In truth, after taking over the alloy business, Constantine's reputation in the empire was far greater than it had been in the past. For the sake of obtaining orders, the nobles and ministers would greet and greet him with great courtesy. He had been living very comfortably in Xia Fei's absence, and with the support of Xia Fei's weapons, Constantine's entry into the imperial city was practically set in stone.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving after seeing your royal father tonight," Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said.
…
Three months later, it was time for Xia Fei to meet with the Sentinel Goddess. Alone, he piloted Vampire to the periphery of the Terminus Star Region, a desolate region of space.
Furball lazily lay on the sofa. This fellow was a glutton, spending his days like a lord. Aside from eating and sleeping, he did nothing else. Moreover, he could not speak, so he could not chat with Xia Fei. Lil Pea and Phantom were not by his side, and Avrils had gone to the Alliance, so Xia Fei's life over the last few months had been rather lonely.
* Whoosh ~ *
A temporary wormhole opened, and a small mech ship appeared in front of Vampire.
The moment the ship docked, Xia Fei heard Lil Pea's anxious voice.
"Master!"
"Master, Lil Pea's back!"
"It's been so long, Lil Pea. I missed you so much!"
Lil Pea threw himself into Xia Fei's arms and refused to let go, but Xia Fei was extremely shocked!
He found it very difficult to believe that this robot before him was Lil Pea?
Lil Pea originally had an obvious wound on his body. This was the wound he had sustained when he had tried to protect Xia Fei. Although Xia Fei had repaired it later on, the wound was still very clear.
Lil Pea had taken on a new look. His outer shell was made of a kind of mech alloy, making it sturdy and light. Even his electronic eyes were different from before, looking very spirited. There was even a grid on the side of his body that displayed his energy.
"What did the Sentinel Goddess do to you?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
At this moment, Warstar walked over with Lil Pea and said, "The Goddess has optimized Lil Pea in all aspects. Do you remember those spare bodies of Xana?"
Xia Fei was startled. "No wonder I felt that the alloy Lil Pea's outer shell was made of was somewhat familiar. Isn't that the light alloy that made up Xana's body?"
"That's right. All of Lil Pea's mechanical parts are now made of Foggy Moon Alloy. That's a product of the mech civilization, far superior to the Magnared Alloy and Krow Alloy of the Pan-Human Alliance. Moreover, Lil Pea's body has been fitted with the same energy system and engine as Xana's. Lil Pea can be said to be the most powerful robot aside from us!"
Xia Fei picked up Lil Pea. Although his outer shell and mechanical parts had been strengthened, he was much lighter than before. This was most likely the work of the Foggy Moon Alloy.
"Then does Lil Pea have an ability simulation system like you guys?" Xia Fei asked in pleasant surprise. As his loyal companion, Lil Pea's upgrade naturally made Xia Fei very happy.
"The ability simulation system isn't that easy to transplant," Warstar spread his arms and said.
Xia Fei was somewhat disappointed, but Warstar's next words left him completely stunned!
