Humanity Base

Riku returned with hope, Wu Ming and Shuvi quietly followed behind Riku and the others.

Just kidding, it's hard to meet humans, if Wu Ming doesn't find out where humans gather, he will be at a huge loss.

Wu Ming had to say that Riku and the others were very careful. He found that the place he met Riku and the others was far from Riku and the others' base. It is thought that this is also for survival. If people from other races are watching when sacrifices are required, the hiding places of other humans are not exposed.

Came to a cave and saw Riku and the others enter. Wu Ming speculated that this might be their base.

"Find a place to hide, don't run and I'll come in and take a look." Wu Ming told Shuvi.

Wu Ming asks Shuvi to hide and wait for him. Then, he entered the cave in spiritual form, following in the footsteps of Riku and the others.

Ahem, after all, this spiritual body transformation trick was quite practical, and Wu Ming's current body was made by himself, so of course he could add a little extra ability at will.

The spiritual body transformation that only a mere Servant body can use, Wu Ming uses the power of the root, and his understanding of the spiritual body transformation, is very easy to do, after all, Great Root is the origin of everything.

The reason why he didn't add another ability was because it wasn't a power that Wu Ming was familiar with. It's quite a hassle to add it. Even if it was added, he was not used to it.

What's more, although Wu Ming added that super strong ability into this body, it is not stronger, and even the original ability of his version is weakened, not to mention other powers.

Therefore, Wu Ming only added a spiritual body to his body, and the rest was the same as his original body.

Inside the cave, in the long tunnel, there was no trace of light, except for the "torch" held by Riku.

The top of the torch was not a flame, but a stone tied to it.

This is a unique stone in this world, as long as it is in contact with water, it will absorb water and emit light, which is very practical.

The three of them held "torches" and walked down this seemingly quite long tunnel.

"Hah?" Riku, who was walking in front of the cave, immediately turned his head as if he had realized something, and looked at the tunnel behind him.

"What's wrong, Riku?" Ivan and Aley who were following behind Riku looked at each other.

Riku looked deeper into the dark tunnel

"…It's fine, let's go."

Slowly falling behind Ivan and Aley, looking back from time to time, gradually, the three figures became more and more distant, leaving only the light of the "torch".

"It's really surprising, is it the sixth sense, or is it pure alertness." Wu Ming's voice sounded faint, and he still maintained the state of his spiritual body.

Once again, he forced a large number of hidden types of spells on himself, and Wu Ming followed quietly.

"Riku!!" At the end of the tunnel, Wu Ming heard someone shouting such a sentence excitedly.

Wu Ming passed through the wall, and through perception and the naked eye, he saw the place where humans were currently living.

This is a very large underground natural cave, but there are also many traces of artificial modifications.

Countless colorful and luminous stones decorated this natural cave, and in some places there were also lands planted with unknown grains.

All kinds of people are busy, some manage the land where grain is grown, and some places like terraces, some collect water sources through special methods, and the houses open doors directly on the mountain, using the independent space of the cave is a simple room, and next to it is a horse stable that serves as a means of transportation.

People live in an orderly and orderly manner, like a small community.

In Riku's position, apart from the one who took the support backpack on her body, a girl with rose-colored hair was holding Riku, looking very worried.

"Father!" At this time, a childish voice came.

A little purple-haired girl ran towards the three returning people and rushed into the arms of the uncle named Ivan.

"Oh! Nonna, are you listening to your sister Couronne?"

Ivan hugged Nonna affectionately and asked with a smile.

"Well, Nonna should listen carefully to Couronne's sister, and Nonna can write Nonna's name, you know, this is what Nonna wrote herself."

Saying so, Nonna took a paper of unknown material in her hand and showed it to Ivan.

"Oh haha~ As expected of my daughter, she can write her own name. I'm proud of you." Ivan smiled sincerely, stroked Nonna's little head, and said lovingly.

"Hehehe~" Nonna smiled happily.

Seeing this scene, Riku was filled with anxiety and shame.

If it weren't for the god of time, Nonna would never see her father again.

Riku lowered his head in regret.

"Riku, what happened?" The ruddy-haired girl frowned as she looked at Riku with her head low.

Seems like a lot has happened.

"It's all right, Couronne." Riku shook his head, looking at Couronne with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Really, you said you would call me big sister… Ummm~ Forget it, it's better to return safely than anything, welcome back, Riku." Couronne looked at Riku with disdain at first, then relaxed, Smiling at Riku.

"Un, I'm back, Couronne."

Seeing such a scene, Wu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"I didn't save the human named Ivan in vain." The spirit-shaped Wu Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then did not look at Riku and others, but left here, went outside, and met Shuvi.

On a slightly higher mountain peak nearby, Wu Ming and Shuvi looked into the distance.

"Shuvi, I think I will let you into the life of this human group," Wu Ming said without turning his head.

"Answer, Shuvi has been abandoned by Ex-Machina, what to do with it is the Wu Ming power of the current owner of Shuvi," Shuvi said calmly.

"What you said was quite ambiguous. I'm not your master. Remember that no one can be the master of another, not even Ex-Machina, because you are a race that will have a 'heart'."

"…Understood… can't…" Shuvi uttered these words intermittently as data flowed through his eyes.

"Well~ now I'm telling you that you don't understand. When you have a 'heart', you will be able to learn without a teacher." Wu Ming stroked Shuvi's head with a smile.

Wu Ming firmly believed that after living with humans for a period of time, coupled with his side-by-side teaching, Shuvi would be able to understand 'heart' and have feelings.

Because, letting machines have emotions, this is one of the possibilities that humans have.
