The Mech Touch

ast rider project would finally be able to gather concrete, relevant data that would help him design a safe and functional beast rider neural interface.

”Wake up Subject 3! ” He instructed the exobiologists.
”Make sure to wake him up gradually, and keep him weak.
I don ’t want this beast to get ferocious. ”

With that done, Ves boarded a small transport converted into a holding cell for dwarf captives.
The dwarf chieftain and the two other dwarf riders each resided in their own cells.
Their wives, children, bodyguards and other followers had been stuffed into the other cells.

After inspecting the prisoners, Ves picked out Subject 3 ’s dwarf rider as well as what appeared to be one of his children, a cute dwarf boy who was about four standard years old if the exobiologists judged correctly.

”Bring them both to the interrogation room.
Make sure you restrain the dwarf rider with restraints strong enough to hold back an exoskeleton armor suit.
These bonded riders may have gained a lot of physical enhancements from their wild god partners. ”

”Actually, their physiques are hardly different from a well-fed dwarf warrior. ” One of the resident doctors in charge of monitoring the health of the prisoners remarked.
”Although I ’ve only performed some cursory tests, their muscle density and other properties don ’t diverge at all from the norm. ”

Ves frowned.
”Maybe it only happens when they are actively engaging their man-beast connection.
Whatever the case, it ’s better to be safe than sorry.
I want full precautions! When it comes to wild gods, you never know what shenanigans you might encounter! ”

A pair of security officers roughly dragged the unconscious dwarf rider from his cell and bolted him down onto a custom-built chair.
Various restraints bolted him down into his seat and left him completely unable to exert any strength!

To be somewhat safe, he also ordered the dwarf child to be cuffed and restrained as well.

”Alright, doc, wake them both. ”

The doctor injected a simple counteragent into the bloodstreams of both dwarves.
They woke up within minutes.

After groggily trying to ascertain the situation, the dwarf rider finally noticed his precarious straits.
His eyes widened as his savage mind rapidly made several observations.

He woke up in a completely unknown metal chamber!

Only the blessed people possessed such an abundant amount of worked metal!

His wild god was nowhere to be found!

When he stretched out his mind, he couldn ’t find the mind of his wild god anywhere in the vicinity!

Tall figured garbed in completely foreign metal shells kept him under guard!

One of them stood straight across the room holding his youngest son!

His youngest son!

The dwarf rider angrily roared like a god while trying to shake off the restraints.
It didn ’t work! His robust dwarf body simply couldn ’t break the advanced alloys meant to secure the likes of exoskeleton armor!

The wildling roared helplessly as his son slowly woke up as well and cried when he saw all the strangeness around him.
Even though the dwarves were savage and hardy species, their juveniles were as small and vulnerable as human children.

Ves smiled in satisfaction.
At the very least, the dwarf rider was human enough to care for his family.

”Alright, you dwarf. ” He began.
”Let us have a little talk among ourselves. ”

The raging dwarf didn ’t register his words.
The savage looked at Ves and the other forms and instantly mistook them as the blessed people.

There was no chance of dialogue between the blessed and the cursed people! Both of them hated each other as if it had been carved into their genes.
Only one of their subraces would reign supreme on this planet one day!

Ves ignored the mindless rage and calmly took a seat on the chair opposite of the table.

He prepared a handful of props for this meeting.
He fabricated them a few days ago within a couple of minutes.
They didn ’t look very fancy, but it was pointless for Ves to use his considerable craftsmanship to convey his meaning to a dwarf.

”I know a savage like you can ’t understand standard language, so I ’ll use these props to illustrate what I want. ”

He first picked up the largest metal figurine, the one that resembled a wild god.
It lacked the palanquin on top, but that didn ’t matter.

”This is Subject 3.
Suppose that it ’s your bonded wild god. ” Ves then picked up the figurine of a typical dwarf warrior.
”This is you.
Let ’s call you Dwarf 3 for convenience.
I ’m not interested in learning your real name in your unique, tribal tongue.
What I want you to do is to bring you out to Subject 3 and establish your man-machine connection.
I want you two to bond in full view of our instruments so I can gather lots of data about this connection. ”

Ves crudely placed the figurine of the dwarf on the back of the wild gold model and waved them around as if he was treating them as his toys.

The captive dwarf rider stared at Ves as if he understood nothing.

”You don ’t have to understand. ” He smirked.
”Because if you don ’t cooperate, bad things will happen to the people you care about. ”

He dropped the two figurines and picked up the figurine of one of the smallest dwarves.
Ves pointed it at the frightened dwarf child who begged his dad to save him with his crying eyes.

”This doll is your little kid.
We will hang onto to that brat, any any other people we found in your palanquin.
As long as you cooperate, your kid will stay safe.
If you remain stubborn like your kind tends to be, then I ’ll have to enact some disciplinary measures.
Since we already know that punishment won ’t work on a crazy warrior like you, I ’ll have to take out your punishment on your little kid. ”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Ves carefully manipulated his armor-clad fingers and snapped one of the arms of the dwarf child figurine.

”Oops. ”

Even though the dwarf didn ’t understand his words at all, the meaning Ves conveyed was more than clear to the savage.
The dwarf father released an incredibly angry roar and fought back twice as hard against his restraints.

”You can lash out all you want, but that won ’t help you save your child. ”

To illustrate his meaning, Ves held out the dwarf child figurine and snapped off its head.
Although it was a trivial gesture, the ominous message it conveyed instantly sobered up the dwarf.

”Will you cooperate with my experiments now? ”
