Chapter 41 Desire for Power
"Um." A whispered unconsciously, Allen returned from the ocean of light of nothingness and opened his eyes in the hazy.
The next moment, he remembered that he had fallen into a coma because of practicing [Morning Light Body Strong Technique], and now he should still be in the original executive department.
He opened his eyes and looked around. He was lying on a hospital bed covered with white sheets. There was a light blue curtain next to it. Outside the curtain was an office desk filled with various books facing the door. On the left side of the desk was a cabinet filled with all kinds of strange utensils.
But none of these are the focus of Allen's attention. What he cares about at this moment is the man standing at his bedside.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like this?" Allen rolled his eyes in anger. No matter who woke up, he saw a guy with salted fish eyes on his face staring blankly, he wouldn't feel good. It would be better if Allen was not scared.
"I'm wondering why you're so desperate." Renard just looked up and down at Allen with curiosity, holding one hand in front of his chest and touching his chin with the other.
"Since you know my experience, you should understand my behavior." Allen didn't care. After so many days of communication, he probably figured out the other party's personality. This was not a rude move for the other party.
"Your experience is one aspect, but this does not fully explain your efforts." Renard smiled as he looked at the other party's performance.
"You must know that people are lazy. Without external factors, if a person continues to work hard, either he has a clear goal and a matching will and self-control."
"But the external factor that allows you to keep striving forever has disappeared. According to psychology, even if you are afraid of gaining powerful power, this idea does not last long and will pass over time."
"And your behavior now is like there is a danger behind you and keeps chasing and forcing me."
"I don't understand this." Renard said this calmly.
"If I think I have never been out of danger." Allen said this indifferently.
"So, this is very interesting." Renard did not refute immediately.
"You know, you have joined the Imperial Execution Department. Even bold criminals will not attack you on your own initiative. Maybe they will not care about your obstacles when they do evil, but they will not provoke you as if they are seeking death."
"For them, provoking people who are official in the Empire is a small profit and high risk. This behavior will disrupt their plans, draw our attention, and even destroy the plans they have already begun."
"So, I think your concern has no reason." Renard just analyzed this matter calmly and clearly.
"I know this." It has been almost a week since Allen came to the Executive Office. He now has a general understanding of the giant Empire Executive Office, and he understands that the other party's words are not false.
"But, you know, my perception is a sensitive one, and I can feel a vague crisis surrounding me, but when I searched carefully, he disappeared without a shadow."
"I used to think this was my illusion, but I couldn't comfort myself that it was just my fantasy, so I was so urgent to improve my strength."
"Because no matter what happens, if I have strong strength, I will have a certain amount of resistance." Allen said.
"You have to know that there is the Eye of Dawn to monitor the world, and the group of guys from the Astronomical Society tell fortunes and spy on fate every day. I believe in small things. If you say something big can happen, I really don't think it's possible." Renard said confidently.
Alan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the other party seemed to have set up an amazing flag.
"I think it may be that the incident has had too much impact on you. Maybe you need some psychological counseling." Renard said with an unknown smirk.
"Come on, I want to trick me into being your little mouse. You said you are a good necromancer and don't play with the corpse, what psychology do you learn?" Allen's somewhat melancholy expression also disappeared, and he smiled and scolded as he looked at Renard's performance.
"This is really called being unemployed. The source of the power of a mage is knowledge, and I think modern psychology research is also very valuable, but their research progress is not in-depth and has no outstanding applications, so it is not valued."
"But in the future, the psychology industry will inevitably develop, and I don't even think it's surprising that there is a big man who can create extraordinary careers related to psychology."
"By the way, where am I?" Allen looked at the other person's smug look and did not speak wisely. He had been with the other person in recent days and knew very well that under the other person's boring face, he was a reluctant heart.
Perhaps because of the other party's profession, they often experiment alone, and one experiment lasts for several days. If it is a big project, it is good that at least someone communicates with each other, but at this stage most of them do independent research to verify the knowledge they have learned.
So, he has not communicated with others for many years and is used to talking to himself alone during experiments, and eventually becomes a chatterbox guy.
It would be fine if he was not familiar with him, but he still had some concerns and would not talk endlessly with you. Once you get familiar with you, there would be no end once the beginning, and if you encounter topics that the other person is interested in, it would be even more endless.
"This is my office." After hearing the other party's words, Renard stopped and turned back to the proper conversation track.
"Ha." Allen was a little surprised. The other party kept saying that he was a resident doctor in the executive department, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a large office. He always thought that it was suitable for others to work together in the same office.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with an office?" Seeing Allen's surprised expression, Renard looked very happy, and even the eyebrows on his salted fish eyes began to fly.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect your treatment to be pretty good." This sentence was not adulterated. Because the entire base is underground, he always thought that underground space is more precious, so he should adopt a plan to maximize space utilization.
Even if it was the training ground and equipment office offices I saw before, it was because of the necessary needs, so there was such a huge place. But he felt that things like the office might take the way many people were together.
But what he expected was that the other party's office was so big and empty, and there was even an open space to put a bed.
"You're not thinking about these things." After hearing the other party's doubts, Renard said with a smile.
"You have to know that even in the era when the demon tide has not yet begun and the extraordinary hiddenness is not difficult for the empire to build an underground base. Those steam machinery that can be called a behemoth can do this."
Alan kept nodding as the other party said. However, a strange feeling in his heart was involuntarily that the development of this world was exactly the same as in the previous life.
Perhaps because of the extraordinary, it was later embarked on the road of developing science and technology. More importantly, the development of science and technology has quickly approached the level of the Second Industrial Revolution in the previous life in just a hundred years.
However, the reason why he felt strange was that technology that has reached this point has pointed out internal combustion engines, and even advanced the generators and some supporting technologies. However, the mainstream of the current society is still various steam machinery.
This feeling of inversion and confusion of time and space, and the mixed civilizations makes him feel strange in a mysterious world.
"What's more, at this time, extraordinary people have regained their results and their productivity has been greatly improved. For example, those who built this base used some enchantment equipment that was still in the trial stage."
"Can you imagine that our huge underground base has completed the basic construction in just three days." Listening to the other party's words, there was unstoppable surprise in his eyes. After all, the area that the base can know is already more than a dozen football fields, and this is not included in those special places he does not know about hiding in the dark.
"So I was also shocked at that time, but after learning about the process, there was nothing left." Renard was very satisfied when he saw the other party's reaction and continued to show off his experiences proudly.
"At that time, not only were the enchanting machinery opening up space below, but also the magistrates of the energy system provided assistance below, turning soil into mud, and turning soil into rocks together, so that such a huge base was built in just three days."
After hearing the other party's news, Allen had a deeper understanding of the power of the mage, but he did not feel any regrets or regrets.
Since you have made your choice, you only need to keep working shorter efforts towards your set goals. Any regrets and hesitation are just poisons to waste time.
Moreover, in the knowledge he has learned, although the mage is powerful, the spellcaster is the same, but the warrior is not much weaker. Otherwise, the status of the warrior is not inferior to that of the spellcaster.
After all, there are only invincible people, but no invincible profession. Spellcaster is a profession that only geniuses and tycoons can play.
