Chapter 143: Mechanical Conception
Ever since his last friendly exchange with the members of the Mechanical God Church, Paul had proved that he bore no hostility and successfully settled down in Wooden Wheel Village.
His academic exchange with the iron-shelled man was still continuing. Although, in Paul’s eyes, the Mechanical God Church had yet to shake off the suspicion of being an evil cult, Paul greatly approved of the fact that they did not blindly recruit believers.
Or rather, if one wanted to become a member of the Mechanical God Church, one had to undergo several assessments. They did not even look twice at ordinary people.
The elf who had been wandering around behind Paul came to the house where he lived after finishing all the books. Expressionless, she scratched at her chest.

“I plan to go home, pack my things, then move to the Northern Territory. Take me with you when you leave.”
Hearing this, Paul, who was currently studying a diagram of the human body’s internal structure with the iron-shelled man, fell silent for a long time.

The elf’s abundant knowledge and experience would indeed help the Northern Territory’s future development, but the elf’s improper behavior posed an enormous threat to the Northern Territory’s culture and customs!
Especially after she got drunk, the elf’s uninhibited behavior made it very easy to destroy a child’s innocent worldview.
An elf moving there sounded like a small matter, but he truly did not dare make the decision on his own.
Paul rubbed hard at his brow. Facing the elf’s numb, lifeless gaze, he worked hard to keep smiling. “May I ask why you want to live in the Northern Territory?”
Е n̆u m̆ă .і̌ d̃
Switching to her other hand and continuing to scratch, the elf, whose small peaks had risen, answered seriously, “Because all of you are very interesting. Fresh things are interesting, the Duke’s books are interesting, and when you sing, that is also very interesting.”
Seeing that she was about to reward herself again regardless of the occasion, Paul hurriedly sent her out.
“You can return to the Northern Territory, but whether the Duke agrees to let you stay is not something I can decide.”
“Oh, then I will leave first.” The elf turned around, but just before stepping out, she stopped and looked back to ask, “If I want to live in the human world, do I need a name?”

Trying his best to calm himself, Paul sighed deeply. “Can you not use your old one?”
“I forgot what I used to be called…” The elf pinched at herself and rubbed as she thought for a long while. “How about I call myself Archbishop? Once I reach the Northern Territory, I must go to the Demon Kingdom to search for the mysterious goblin nest.”

The corner of Paul’s mouth twitched, and he quickly put on a serious expression. “No. If you take that name, you will bring trouble to the Duke.”
“Then what about Maria? If you let me use that name, I can help you make up for your regret.” After saying that, the elf threw him a stiff wink, only to receive the killing intent Paul cast at her.
“How about calling her Zena?” the iron-shelled man suggested while comforting Paul.
He had dealt with elves many times and understood just how outrageous they were. He also knew their interests and preferences.
Sigh. A group of immortals trapped by the flesh had actually become twisted to such an extent.
“Zena is the protagonist of a famous story in our human kingdom. According to legend, she enters men’s dreams at night and ruthlessly drains them dry, causing men to die from exhaustion in their sleep.”

Hearing this, the elf immediately nodded. She was very satisfied with that woman’s name.
“Call me Zena from now on, Paul. I will see you again after some time.”
She waved her hand and left. The elf Zena, who had lived freely all her life, departed. Wooden Wheel Village was already close to the elven kingdom, so it would not take her much time to walk there.
After that troublesome fellow finally disappeared, Paul at last had the energy to continue studying the human body’s structure with the iron-shelled man.
The Mechanical God Church’s doctrine was to replace the flesh with machinery in pursuit of the soul’s liberation. The flesh influenced the soul far too deeply. After all, the body’s functions were limited and could not remain at their peak at every moment.
A person’s soul became young because the body was young, and aged because the body aged.

A good mindset and looking young were all lies. No matter how well one could still run and jump, it was impossible to recreate the pride of seven times in one night.
However, the Mechanical God Church did not look down on biological flesh because of that. At least with their current level of technology, they still had a very long way to go before they could completely replace flesh with machinery.

For that reason, precise research into the body was indispensable.
However, in Paul’s eyes, their precious missionary materials had all become things that could help Janice, as well as things that could help His Grace.
“This time, I brought one of my experimental products, Mr. Paul.” The iron-shelled man solemnly placed a wooden box made from precious elven wood on the table, then slowly opened the lid.
Paul stood up. During this period, he had seen many mechanical creations. Some were prosthetic limbs made from wood, while others were organs assembled from ironware.

But none of those things were as precise and compact as the object before him.
Inside the wooden box was a heart, an iron heart that was constantly turning, contained a strange magical aura, and was constructed from several hundred gears the size of mung beans.
“At present, I have two research directions.”
The iron-shelled man was more serious than ever before, and his tone was solemn. “One is to make it responsible for the circulation and movement of blood, just like the body’s heart. The other is to have the heart produce energy and deliver it throughout the body to provide the body with power.”

“What about electricity?” Paul recalled Duke Oswald’s conjecture about the Mechanical God Church.
“Before His Grace asked me to seek you out, he once mentioned that I must pay close attention to whether you had developed an electric power device.”

Those words awakened the dreamer. The iron-shelled man increasingly felt that choosing to exchange ideas with Paul was the guidance of the god toward their believers.
“Electric… Electric! Electricity?” he murmured repeatedly. The term “electric power device” seemed to hold a fatal attraction for him.
Several small tools popped out from his tin-plated fingers. In a few swift motions, the iron-shelled man dismantled the gear heart and held a small iron plate engraved with tiny, diamond-like magic stones in front of Paul.
“You have proposed a genius conception, Mr. Paul. If the mechanical body is entirely driven by electricity, then we do not need to waste time on the power transmission of gears at all.”
“Only, if that is the case, even if we gather all the magic stones of our believers, we still will not be able to fully drive a single mechanical body.”
Paul blinked. Having absolutely failed to understand what the iron-shelled man was talking about, he could only shift the topic in another direction.

“That is impossible. I know very well how powerful magic stones are. Even a single complete magic stone would absolutely be enough.”
“Er, perhaps you did not understand what I meant, Mr. Paul.” The iron-shelled man let out a laugh like an iron can rattling. “What I am holding now is the entire supply of magic stones owned by the Mechanical God Church.”
Paul silently stepped forward, narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed the few bits of debris on the iron plate the size of a fingernail.
After all that, it turned out poverty was limiting your development.
The iron-shelled man solemnly put that iron plate away again and closed it inside the wooden box. He paid no mind to this small embarrassment at all and sighed with feeling.
“That is why I very much wish to know what kind of understanding that special Duke has of electric power devices.”

Paul nodded. Interest was good. Once enough interest had accumulated, it would be time to go to the Northern Territory.
“I do not understand it very well either, but His Grace said that many elements in nature can be converted into electricity. For example, the sun that provides heat, the howling wind, endlessly flowing water, and blazing fire.”

“An electric power device is something that uses these elements to obtain electricity, then stores it or conducts it outward…”
