Very reasonable cultivation

Chapter 161 This person doesn’t like me, right?

Charlotte lit a bonfire and asked the children to gather around it. He began to release a little bit of emotion, affecting the changes in the flames, which attracted some whispers and noises, which affected the children.

Seeing that it was almost time, Charlotte made a gesture of silence, and a sense of silence emanated from him, returning the slightly fluctuating flame to normal.

The children suddenly became calm from being somewhat excited. Some of them blinked in confusion, not knowing what was happening. Only little Jessica looked at the flames of the bonfire dancing in front of her eyes, as if she felt something.

That feeling seemed to be captured by the body and remained in the body, just like the feeling after being touched always exists. Little Jessica followed this feeling in her heart and noticed that feeling on her hands.

Boom! Little Jessica's hands were set on fire, but she didn't panic. The flames seemed to be an extension of her hands. She didn't feel a trace of heat, but instead felt a hint of coldness.

The friends exclaimed in surprise. Under the influence of various emotions, the flame became unstable, whispering sounds were heard, and the flame also tended to turn blue.

Charlotte made another silencing gesture, interrupting the transformation, and the flame returned to its normal state. He was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected someone to master it after his first demonstration. This boosted his confidence, and he taught even harder. Compared to little Jessica's talent, the other children only showed a little progress after Charlotte had demonstrated it five or six times.

However, Charlotte's happiness did not last long. His behavior was soon discovered, and he was arrested on the spot and locked up in the same red, dim steel room. The three children here had been sent away long ago, and now he was the only one here.

Charlotte didn't understand why the mechanical monks here reacted so strongly, but he didn't panic. Instead, he began to practice with peace of mind. The flames lingered on his body, but did not cause any damage to his clothes. Instead, they gradually became rounder as they leaped.

In the dim dark red space, Charlotte didn't know how much time had passed, but his emotions remained stable and he stayed quietly.

Finally, with the sound of the steel gate's gears turning, Charlotte stopped practicing. He opened his eyes and looked at the slowly opening steel gate.

The person who came in was her superior, the mechanical woman in frog glasses. After she came in, the steel door slowly closed again. In this dark red space, she saw that Charlotte was still so calm, and she couldn't help but said excitedly: "Do you know what you are doing? You are spreading cult beliefs!"

She paced back and forth quickly in the room. After a while, she continued to look at Charlotte and said, "You should be thankful that there are no people from the Inquisition stationed in this remote town of ours. Otherwise, you! And those children, you will all be dragged to the stake! Or you will be taken away as part of the tax. Do you understand the seriousness of this matter!"

Looking at the excited mechanical woman in frog glasses, Charlotte couldn't help but think to herself, "This person doesn't like me, does he?"

He used sign language to soothe her, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Ever since those monsters invaded us last time, I've been thinking about increasing the town's residents' ability to protect themselves. This way, when we're ready for future crises, we won't suffer so many casualties again."

"Don't you know the dangers of psychic power? Are you still trying to let children learn it? What are the consequences of losing control?" The mechanical woman with frog glasses asked three questions in a row, leaving Charlotte at a loss for how to express herself for a moment.

After a brief silence, Charlotte continued to sign, "This isn't actually psychic power, nor was it something I was born with. I learned it step by step, and there's a trace to follow, just like the souls bestowed upon machines by the God of Machinery. I simply used this process to steadily control some of the changes in nature!"

"heresy!"

The frog-eyed mechanical woman lost her composure, the expression on her glasses showing her anger. This wasn't her personal opinion of Charlotte's methods, but rather the general attitude of the Mechanicum towards such behavior.

Once again, there was a brief silence. The mechanical woman in frog glasses took off her glasses helmet. The originally tight metal frame slid down from her face, revealing her long golden hair, which cascaded down like a waterfall, covering her delicate face.

She gently brushed the hair away from her ears, revealing a face as perfect as a sculpture. Her azure eyes seemed even more lively, her lips slightly pursed, as if she were contemplating something, yet with a hint of melancholy, she said to Charlotte, "Brother Charlotte, I don't know if my fondness for you stems from your psychic influence, but being by your side brings peace to me and the mechanical soul within me. I don't know if what you say is true, perhaps this is knowledge that even we in the Mechanicus haven't explored, but now I give you a chance. Teach me!"

The next day, Charlotte was released and allowed to open a teaching school, encouraging the residents of the town to study when they have free time.

Some churchgoers were puzzled by this and questioned the reason why the mechanical woman with frog glasses supported Charlotte so much.

The mechanical woman with frog glasses explained it this way: This is another path given to us by the God of Machinery. It is completely bathed in the divine power of the God of Machinery. It is a bridge for the common progress of mechanical souls and humans. You will know the details if you go to a class in person.

So, with many doubts and criticisms, they walked into a classroom given to Charlotte, which was already filled with all the bored children in the town, as well as some adults with missing limbs and limited mobility.

Charlotte first demonstrated his ability to control fire, and then took out the Fire Kirin, which some monks thought was scrap metal, and used the changes of fire to awaken the Fire Kirin's spirit. As the cracks on the gun body became regular, and looked like scales, they lit up with lava-like light, as if coming alive.

The Fire Kirin, who had just woken up, got a little angry when he saw that there was no battle to fight. The blazing flames and high temperature made the molten lava-like patterns on its body even more eye-catching, and the flames in the eyes of the Kirin head at the other end of the gun muzzle became even more violent, but it was only for a short moment. Soon, it calmed down gradually under Charlotte's comfort, like a well-behaved cat moving rhythmically in Charlotte's hands.

Could the Mechanical Soul be this powerful? We're the ones limiting its capabilities.

Is this the bridge that the mechanical prophet Lillian talked about, the bridge that connects the mechanical soul and humans to progress together?

So someone raised the question: "Brother Charlotte, perhaps your mechanical soul was originally given a more powerful one by the God of Machinery. What about the other mechanical souls? Can you make them improve together?"

Charlotte was well prepared. He carried the Fire Kirin, which had fallen asleep again, on his back. The Fire Kirin was now in a period of growth and transformation, and was rather sleepy during this period.

He walked towards a domineering motorcycle that had been prepared long ago, motioning everyone to pay attention. He gently stroked the handlebars of the motorcycle, and the mechanical soul inside the motorcycle was delighted. With a roar of the throttle, the motorcycle started automatically, roaring as if to welcome Charlotte's arrival.

Charlotte didn't hesitate and sat down on it. Charlotte maintained the resonance of the five elements of fire and resonated with the mechanical soul. With a bang, the car body seemed to have just come out of magma, with flames all over the body. The two big wheels directly burst into fire, just like an undead knight. Except that Charlotte did not have a skull, it was exactly the same.
