Vol 2 Chapter 999: Three Questions of the Master (Middle)

"...You can ask." Heliga paused for a few seconds, staring directly at Master Yoguru's eyes—without a trace of extra emotion, just a peaceful inquiry.
"I have seen it... you seem to have the intention of maintaining a long-term cooperative relationship with me." The old man Yoguru said straight to the point, "I must be very cautious about this. Now that you have learned about me from Ling. In the past, then you will certainly know how I hate those who improperly use force technology."
"Um... I heard that the current association "Sixth Pillar", Dr. Novartis, left because of your disagreement with his ideas, and because he stole your mecha design sketch as a master. Associated. "
"I would rather deny him as an apprentice." Master Yoguru snorted softly, "Your kid smashed his proud work, those two divine machines, do you see any extreme reactions from him? No. He. Most of it just feels a little shameful, but looking back, he will do more research to strengthen his products-he is this kind of person, just staring at the things he cares about, even at the expense of the most basic human nature... …Although that Schmidt seems to be a fellow man, he still understands some basic moral concepts..."
"So, you are worried, can I, who will be involved in political struggles in the future, be able to maintain this simple purpose now?" Heliga asked tentatively.
"Yes. Although you seem to be normal now, I asked me to study mecha soldiers only to find help to defeat the noble rebels more efficiently-but there is no guarantee that you will not have any ideas in the future." Master Guru said, "First of all, you should also be aware that the mecha soldier has referenced a lot of things from ancient magisters and alchemy, and it has something to do with the witch goblins in the empire...In other words, since It has been remanufactured by current scientists, so it must have a very high combat potential-after all, this is the essence of technology extracted from ancient civilization. Although the noble coalition has to put it into use as soon as possible, it has left a lot of Design flaws and loopholes, but when the matter is over, these things will be repaired-the mechs can easily be transformed into new weapons that can be put into use again. You should be able to understand this?"
"Yes...I have considered what you said." Heliga nodded.
"Then... I may naturally be worried about this and will not provide you with relevant technology. Even if you and the prince can stick to your position, it is likely to be because of your influence in the empire. Insufficient, I have to hand over such a thing." The old man Yoguru looked directly at Heliga, "What do you think about this?"
"This question, I probably have to answer you with other questions." Heilijia was taken aback, then smiled, "You are worried that I will have to leak the top secret technology you gave to the empire, leading them to a new round. The expansion of the army and the deterioration of the war situation on the mainland... But, first of all, this is a false proposition. No matter what you think, from the empire to the republic, to the entire western continent, in the next few years, it will be due to various This chain of problems erupted into conflicts and wars—this is what Prime Minister Osborne called "turbulent times." It is inevitable and unstoppable-the only thing we can do is to accept this fact and use a positive attitude to find strategies to deal with it, instead of brainwashing ourselves and trying to resist it needlessly. Even if this is offensive to you, I must say so. "Heliga looked at the old man Yoguru's eyes more determined, beyond doubt.
"Maybe... what you said is right." Old Man Yoguru murmured to himself, "Old man, I really don't have much interest in current affairs and politics, but I can also feel the various things that have happened recently. After all, the times are different. However, I still don’t intend to change my position-even if you think it’s just a sense of goodness and struggle, I will still stick to my own position. If you existed like that now Your thoughts..."
"Well, I haven't finished talking yet." Heliga took a sip of coffee-by the way, the coffee was made by the old man Yoguru himself. As far as Heliga's taste is concerned, it is no worse than snow. Lun’s masterpiece, "Actually, I did not intend to give these things to the imperial government."
"What?" The old man Yoguru frowned.
"This is just an alternative... If conditions permit, I hope to use this technological advantage to strengthen our own armed forces. After that, I will find an opportunity to destroy these samples so that people can’t see it. One question-I think no one can see the technical secrets of a pile of steel that has been burned to shreds?"
"...But why?" Old Man Yoguru asked, "If it's just for this kind of purpose-but it cost me favor..."
"Because this is a key step in my follow-up plan-I am more willing to believe that the technology is not inferior to them than the enterprises and universities in the empire that will definitely be controlled by the nobility or reformists of the empire. You are more free in standpoint." Heliga frankly told me, "I hope that in the future, I can use your technology in my own arms. In this sense, the empire is not only my business field and stepping stone, but also at the same time. Strategically, you should be slightly guarded against opponents. You are worried that your technology will be leaked to the empire by me, and you will appear on the battlefield of unnecessary massacre. This kind of worry is completely unnecessary...Because compared to you, I may Will pay more attention to this kind of thing."
"...So that's it." Old Yoguru murmured after a long time, "It seems that your purpose is not as simple as I thought..."
"Maybe simple, maybe very complicated-but it is actually a big bet, but if the bet wins, I can win huge capital, if the bet loses, it doesn't matter to me-anyway, time is still There are many, and there is no shortage of opportunities to pick another one."
"What is your purpose? It's not the newly liberated quarter of the southern part of the empire, nor this Crossbell..." The old man Yoguru looked at Heliga.
"In the northern part of the empire, the northern country that has been ravaged by natural and man-made disasters for decades." Heliga smiled, "I think, this answer, you should have not guessed it."
