【Note: Flesh and blood are weak. 】

……

"Humph, flesh and blood are weak, flesh and blood are weak..."

In the workshop of the seventh outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain, a short old goblin stood with his hands behind his back in front of a rune crystal board, coldly looking at the "mission instructions" that his obedient disciple had dictated to him, with a scornful arc at the corner of his mouth: "The slogans are really beautiful, but what is the result? After abandoning the so-called weak flesh and blood, it still ended up falling and collapsing, and not even a piece of rusty yellow earth was left."

"Hey, you old man."

Not far behind the old goblin, a short, pointed-mouthed, dog-headed man was staring at the old goblin with an unhappy look on his face. He said unhappily, "If you have nothing better to do, hurry up and help me assemble my new body. Stop being sentimental and whining!"

"Sentimental?"

Although he was not a high-level observer of Tianzhu Mountain, the chief engineer of Tianzhu Mountain, Ruvi Fizzleban, who had the same status as a high-level observer, sneered and shifted his gaze from the magic crystal board in front of him that recorded Ji Xiaoge's mission to the Cordova behind him. He asked with a gloomy expression, "When did I become sentimental?"

"Nonsense, you've been staring at that board for half an hour. If you're not sentimental, how could you be attracted to your magic crystal screen?"

Because he was forced into the body of a female kobold, Cordova, whose temper had become increasingly bad in the past few days, spoke without any politeness at all.

"I just think this 'reward' for the little pigeon is stupid."

This time, Lu Wei did not perform the bare-handed dog-disassembly show as before. Instead, he held the wrench in his hand that was flowing with rune energy and walked towards the unfinished rune body not far away. Without turning his head, he said, "At least in my opinion, it's stupid as hell."

Cordova followed Rubi on his short legs and asked casually, "What's stupid about that? I think the mission is pretty awesome."

"The words 'flesh and blood are weak' in the note alone are enough to prove its stupidity."

Lu Wei snorted and casually summoned two translucent virtual screens. He operated on them at a rapid speed and replied calmly, "There are always people who are smart enough to classify different power systems into different levels. Among them, third-rate people may love magic puppets and look down on engineering armor, while second-rate people with a slightly higher level of vision, some particularly stupid ones, may stand between mystery and technology and refuse to admit that another path may also lead to the truth and the root."

Cordova yawned and asked boredly, "So?"

"so?"

Lu Wei narrowed his eyes and checked the parameters of Rune Body, and asked, "Why?"

"Then let me ask another question."

Cordova scratched his nose, crossed his arms and asked, "What is first-rate stuff?"

"You people from other worlds have an old saying, called..."

"A man who knows the current affairs is a hero?"

"Shut up."

"Oh."

"It's called All Roads Lead to Rome."

Lu Wei called up the status panel of the Rune Body in front of him and said with a frown: "Although in my opinion, there is nothing commendable about the Roman Monarchy, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire, but this proverb itself makes sense."

Cordova, who had not listened carefully at all, lazily replied, "What's the reason?"

“There is never only one way to the destination; every road may lead to the destination.”

Lu Wei didn't seem to expect Cordova to understand, and sneered: "It's a pity that some idiots who claim to be wise can't even understand this. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Cordova blinked twice: "I don't know."

"I didn't expect you to know."

Lu Wei shook his head and pointed to an engineering artifact that looked a bit like a toilet next to the Rune Body. He ordered concisely, "Sit on it."

"oh oh!"

Since it was not the first time for him to ride on this thing, Cordova did not complain. Instead, he immediately ran up and sat down, then shivered all over and acted like he was constipated.

And then--

"Come down."

Lu Wei turned off the virtual screen in front of him and said calmly, "It can't be synchronized. It doesn't meet the upload standards. It needs to be adjusted again."

Cordova was confused at the time: "No, it's been a few days, why can't it be synchronized?!"

"Because this is originally a new type of test aircraft. Theoretically, it is not something you can carry at this stage."

Rubi glanced at Cordova and said expressionlessly, "Right now your synchronization rate with this thing is only 70 percent, and the minimum upload standard is 98 percent, so no."

Cordova jumped off the toilet with a look of death and gritted his teeth and said, "So I can't use the previous one first?"

Lu Wei shook his head and said sternly, "No, during the time you were preparing for the Contest, the synchronization rate with the backup rune bodies was decreasing every day. In the end, only one of the bodies I was debugging every day could barely adapt, and you even blew up the only one."

"Hey, old man, can you be reasonable?"

Cordova rolled his eyes and said dryly, "It was obviously Ye Ge who came to me because she couldn't contact you. You were the one who gave her the thing that could forcefully teleport me over there. But as soon as I showed my head, I was killed instantly by that legendary monster. A legendary monster, you can't blame me for this, right?" Lu Wei glanced at Cordova nonchalantly and said, "I don't blame you. I just want you to learn to accept the objective reality. Listen carefully, you unlucky guy. I know what you're thinking about, but I have a lot of things to do right now and I have no obligation to cooperate with your 'small business'. So if you want to be a thug for those clubs, you'll probably have to wait a little longer."

"I'm not unlucky!"

Cordova first let out a roar, then gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not make me wait too long, you old man. If I delay repaying the loan because of you, and my bastard father takes advantage of me in the end..."

"Then you can go fight your bastard dad. What bad luck!"

Lu Wei turned and walked towards the door, saying without looking back: "Instead of barking at me here."

"I'm not unlucky!"

Cordova was furious and ran after Rubi: "Where are you going, you old fool!"

"Take a look at Jadeka Diesel's situation."

"Well, I'll go too."

……

A moment later

Tianzhu Mountain, the top floor of the First Outer Mountain Arena, a suite

"Master Lu Wei."

Next to the bright French window, an old man in a plain white robe who was peeling fruit for himself stood up with some effort, smiled at the old goblin who pushed the door open and walked in, then nodded to Cordova behind him and said, "Thank you so much, little brother Cordova. The deer told me that if it weren't for you, the monster would have likely rushed out of the ruins, causing unpredictable consequences."

"Little things."

Cordova grinned, but did not show his desire to return to the Rune Body in front of Jadka. He just strode to Jadka's side and dragged him back to the chair, saying seriously: "An old man should behave like an old man. If you can lie down, don't sit. If you can sit, don't stand."

"Go away."

Rubi walked slowly and kicked Cordova aside. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, I'm so much older than this guy from Diesel's family. Do I have to lie in bed and work every day?"

Cordova curled his lips and said dryly, "Is it possible that I said 'old man' instead of 'immortal old man'?"

"I know you envy my longevity, you are so unlucky, but all you can do is envy me, after all, you are just an unlucky person."

Lu Wei casually put Cordova into the red temperature state, and then ignored the unlucky one who roared "I'm not unlucky", and asked Jadka who was sitting happily on the chair: "So, how do you feel now, Diesel's kid?"

"feel good."

Jadeka smiled slightly and shrugged, "Although I have to take my morning exercises and physical training more slowly in the future, for a mage of this age, this is also human nature."

"A wizard of this age..."

Lu Wei narrowed his eyes and whispered, "You are right, Jadeka Diesel. For a human mage of your age, it is normal to be unable to wield hundreds of kilograms of weights for physical training. It is as true as the saying that bad luck cannot bring good luck (Cordova: I am not unlucky!). But the question is, are you sure you can accept this? Are you sure you can adapt to your weak body?"

"Why not?"

Jadeka put the peeled fruit on the plate, admiring his own cartoon mudkachu, and chuckled, "Rather, I was ready to die in the ruins. Just being rescued was a pleasant surprise. How could I be greedy?"

Lu Wei looked at Jadeka steadily and said in a deep voice: "You know that's not what I'm asking."

"Okay, I know."

Jadka smiled gently, raised his head and looked into Lu Wei's eyes. "Then you should also know that I have never cared about the things I lost. Even if one day in the future, I fail to save my friends again under the same circumstances, I will not feel regretful, but will die with them."

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows: "Because there are always regrets in life?"

"That's not the case, Master Lurvy."

Jadeka shook his head slightly and said in a brisk tone, "Since I lost something in order to give my companions a chance to survive, I will not regret the loss itself in the future, because there is a simple and clear causal relationship between the two, just like... I will not feel regret based on the consequences of 'doing something that makes me proud'."

Lu Wei laughed, which was rare for him, and said softly, "I noticed that your focus has always been on the little pigeons."

"That's right."

Jadeka stroked his beard and smiled, "After all, if we focus on 'I', it will be difficult to continue this topic. After all, for a rebellious freak like Jadeka Diesel, the gift from blood and fate is more like a curse than a blessing."

"curse?"

Lu Wei looked at the old man in front of him with interest and asked curiously, "Do you regard your gift and talent as a curse?"

"Yes, a curse."

Jadka nodded without hesitation and said seriously, "It keeps roaring in my ears, reminding me that I'm walking on a 'wrong' path, like a curse on my tarsal bones."

Lu Wei laughed and said softly, "Interesting point of view, Jadeka Diesel. I must admit that although it may seem a bit paranoid and even stupid, it is indeed an angle I have never considered."

"Paranoia and stupidity, this is an evaluation that really fits me perfectly."

Jadeka smiled and said jokingly, "If I could give even a little inspiration to a great scholar like you, it would be enough to make me feel overwhelmed."

"I see."

Lu Wei nodded slightly, then raised his hand and threw a slender and delicate metal probe at Jadka. After it pierced the old man's skin, he immediately teased: "Then, I originally came to tell you the bad news, but I have to change my purpose and tell you an enviable good news."

"I'm all ears, Master Luwe, though I can probably guess what you're trying to say."

"I think so. Then, Jadeka Diesel, I am happy to tell you that not only are you lucky enough to have your life saved this time, but as a gift, the curse that has plagued you since the moment you were born, your unrivaled knight talent, and even the power based on this talent have all completely left you."

"Thank you again, Master Luvi, and of course Cordova and everyone else who has taken so much trouble for us."

"You're welcome, Jadeka, you're a rare non-annoying idiot."
