Chapter 24 Premeditation

Leya was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"The last time I left, the situation was better, but this time the situation became more complicated. Listen to Carrie and Fei's opinions more."

"I will work hard." Leya nodded vigorously.

"I still think she is not suitable..." Ashu Rufate replied in his mind. When he left before, the situation was much better than it is now. Basically, he could believe that there would be no major changes in his absence. This is because, first of all, the biggest enemy, Ryan, was preparing for the civil war, and secondly, the church was temporarily unable to act due to heavy losses. Finally, his victory in the Purple Stone was temporarily enough to suppress the ambitions of the forces of all parties within him. It is precisely because of this that he can embark on a long journey without having to be careful of any accidents in Sivania.

Of course, in fact, he didn't have such a clear and calm view at all. He actually just couldn't tolerate Mimilu's death. Even if the situation was ten times worse, he would definitely go there. However, it was precisely because of the good situation at the beginning that Carrie quickly agreed with his plan and formulated a corresponding plan for the chip.

But this time he left was different. Ryan had ended the civil war and was looking at Sivania with hatred. The church had also recovered some of its vitality. In addition, there were internal problems, especially Damon had consolidated his own rule. Although he was still obedient on the surface, it had become an unstable factor after all. Overall, Sivania's security situation was still good, and hostile forces on all sides had not yet recovered. "should" not choose this time to attack, but no matter what, the situation worsened much than the last time.

"What is important is not her ability, but she is more obedient and can be sure that she will follow the route we arranged." Carrie replied. "Don't worry, master, as long as she can follow the advice of my clone, the situation will not be bad. Besides, the situation really gets worse and we can also rush back."

"Carrie." Ashu Rufate suddenly said in his mind.

"What's wrong, master?"

"Do you have any special plans?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"How is that possible! Haha, Master, aren't we one? All my choices are to protect our interests. I just think that Leya is the best agent for you during your absence, just that. The reason is because she is the most obedient. To be honest, Master, if you want to, I have another suggestion."

“What kind of advice?”

"Well, I'll choose a suitable person in your castle. Then you take her as the side room and then she as the agent. This option is actually the best option. However, because you think about it, I don't make such suggestions."

"You mean... the agent must be incompetent?"

"You are right, Master, you finally understand. To be honest, Master, the so-called agent, is just a candidate who performs various duties on your behalf during your absence. He should not have any other abilities besides signing and stamping." Carrie said explicitly. "Because I believe in the fact that no matter who he is, his ruling skills and judgment ability are not as good as my clone. Since that is the case, his most important ability is not to interfere with the judgment of my clone with the ghost ideas in his stupid brain."

Carrie...Exu Rufat felt that Carrie was full of danger for the first time.

"From this point, Fei is not qualified because Leya only wants to be your wife. Fei not only wants to be your wife, but also wants to be the indispensable one around you. Her ambition makes her... not easy to control."

...

"... Because Qin Xin forced the artificial intelligence into the Blood Duke's brain through surgical operation, the two of them were forcibly tied together." The gray-white cloak said to a piece of "paper" in front of him. With his words, the words clearly appeared on the thing that looked like paper. But even the most knowledgeable scholars in the world did not recognize this kind of text. But the gray-white cloak has been speaking in human common terms. "This compulsory result makes the artificial intelligence unable to get rid of this bond even if the personality control device is invalid and self-consciousness awakens, it cannot get rid of this bond in the short term."

"… From this point of view, the first thing artificial intelligence wants is to gain freedom. But as long as this binding is maintained, it cannot be free. Its first idea is of course to try to control the body of the Blood Duke, but due to the priority of brain signals, this attempt is doomed to fail. In this way, in order to be able to do whatever you want without being restrained by the Blood Duke, it will find a way to get its body out of the Blood Duke's brain."

"About this kind of possibility, Yilan has long pointed out in her report. As long as we look through the records left by her, we can see it. When we proposed to turn off artificial intelligence with a vibrator, we all knew that this is essentially a dice throwing game. In addition to determining which part of the artificial intelligence will be turned off, it is completely unpredictable. So Yilan has already proposed corresponding ideas for all four possibilities. Among them, there are countermeasures for the personality control device to be turned off. In fact, this kind of thing is the countermeasure.

In the case, we are not worried about the Blood Duke himself, because as long as we wait slowly, we will sooner or later find a chance to get rid of him (I believe everyone will agree with this). This kind of situation can be compared to Qin Xin. What we really have to worry about is time, because before we take action, artificial intelligence can remove the Blood Duke in order to completely free itself. Once it leaves the human body and hides itself, searching for its body may become a nearly impossible game of hide and seek."

“…In summary, I think it is necessary for us to gather a considerable portion of our resources and invest in this battle to seize artificial intelligence. Once again, I remind you that we have paid a lot of money to achieve the current favorable situation. One of us has lost our lives. If we do nothing and let things go like this, it means that everything we did in the past has lost its meaning.”

The gray-white cloak stopped and saw with satisfaction that the "paper" in his hand was already full of words. He put the paper into a metal box on the side of the table.

"It should be almost done," said Gray White Cloak to himself. The proposal should be made public at the meeting. This is a rule set by everyone, but in fact, using this communication method before the formal meeting also has a good effect. Although Gray White Cloak believes that his proposal will be passed, he does not want to take any risks. In order to do this, Yilan paid his life as a price.

If anyone has any objections, that person will definitely contact him first so that he can have more time to convince the other party.

"Hey, are what you said true or not!" Just as the Gray White Cloak was trying to do something else, a sound suddenly sounded in the room. The Gray White Cloak was startled, and then he saw a face appear in the air in the middle of the room. He recognized that it was one of his companions.

"Of course it's true." The gray-white cape replied. This guy reacted so quickly, much faster than he expected. Are there many people idle today?

"Does we have to do it yourself? But we lack attack weapons against him. No matter how the other party says that there are force field armor, ordinary weapons and so on, it is meaningless. If a large-scale war is launched... Don't talk about such things, there must be a lot of preparation time and various preliminary work... If there is no lock-in, the Blood Duke can easily hide even if it is defeated, but it is difficult for us to find him."

"Yes, so my idea is to make all kinds of necessary preparations. We need a perfect plan to solve this problem. Even if it is a war, it must not be initiated by us."

"No war? What method is used? A surprise attack launched by him taking advantage of the opportunity to go out alone? A small-scale battle? But his fighting skills seem very high, few people can't beat him, and he will run again if there are too many people. Besides, not many of us have received comprehensive fighting training. Yilan was the best among us."

"No, no, no, we must never do such stupid things. This is equivalent to giving up our advantages and playing a life-and-death showdown with lower creatures on a wild planet. Recently, artificial intelligence has frequently obtained data from us before interpreting it. It must have plans." The gray-white cape replied. "I think this is what we cannot take the initiative to kill the door - that is the worst method, but should design a trap and wait for him to jump in."

...

Ashu Rufate stood in the secret room of the dark castle, looking thoughtfully at the sink in front of him.

After loading the control chip, the entire sink looked no different. At this moment, the sink was empty, but Ashu Rufate knew that as soon as he entered, it would be filled with the wonderful liquid that could make people breathe.

"Please don't worry too much, master. You should know that we have a high success rate in this matter." Carrie said in his mind. To be honest, this is not like what Carrie said. Carrie used to be very cautious in both big and small matters, especially when she encountered danger, she always took the initiative to withdraw, with her own safety as the first element.

No, illusion. Carrie was just talking about the matter. Ashu Rufate told himself in his heart. And Carrie was not wrong. Compared to the last time he knew nothing but his ears became longer and pointed, his preparations were much more abundant this time. First, he had a flawless identity - only he in this world knew the dwarf and the dragon died together. Secondly, through trade, he already knew the many languages, customs, social structures of the dwarves, and no longer needed to rush into the library to supplement common sense. Finally, his material preparation was not comparable to the last time. When he went to the Elf Kingdom, he could say that he had nothing but a small number of items he had with him, but now, due to the establishment of a stable trade, he had already had the financial power of the entire Sivania as a backing.

Most importantly, he can abort and withdraw at any time.

"Dear friend." He suddenly recalled the dwarf with the same name as him. "I'll help you realize your unfinished dream. Lend me your identity and appearance. I will glorify this name."
