After the servant packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left, Quinn said to Zero, "Since you're done eating, let's go back and rest early." ”

"There's no hurry. Zero replied, "Actually, I'd like to borrow your secret room for use." ”

"What are you going to do?" Quinn was a little puzzled, "but before she left, your mother told you to go back to wash up and rest after eating. ”

"Oops...... If the old lady forcibly keeps me to chat with him, the rest can be delayed~" Zero said to Quinn with a sly smile.

"Hmph...... You little slippery head, you have a bad stomach. Quinn snorted angrily.

Zero said helplessly: "Alas...... It's boring to go back too early, or you're interesting here, or my mother will take advantage of the time before going to bed to brainwash me, what is it good to marry a princess, the princess is very beautiful, listen to Dad...... It's really tiring to listen to it too much...... It's just that you are so nagged that you obviously don't agree with that point of view, but you are too tired of it to agree. Surely you can understand my feelings, so let me stay with you a little longer, so that when I get back late, I will be too tired to listen to my mother's words. ”

"Alright...... Quinn said as he stood up, "I can't talk about you kid, you go use it, I'll rest, but I have to warn you, don't stay too late, or your mother will find the 'secret room' and I'll have to skin your boy." ”

"I know, I will never let anyone find out the secret between the two of us!" Zero grimaced.

"Huh......" Quinn snorted and turned to leave.

Zero walked into the storage room, turned on the light, moved a chair and placed it in front of the wooden cabinet, then stood on the chair and opened the top drawer, and got the key to open the secret room inside. After closing the drawer, Zero jumped off the bench, burrowed behind a painting on the wall and fumbled for a mechanism. The sound of gears rattling through the wall, and then a brick in the wall retracted inside, revealing the keyhole inside. Zero inserted the pillar key made of magic crystals into it and turned it, and the sound of a mechanism running was heard from inside the wall, and half of the wall next to it opened inward, and a secret tunnel appeared in front of him.

Zero pulled out the key and put it back in place, turned off the light in the storage room, turned around and walked into the dark passage, and pressed a mechanism on the side of the dark passage, and the door behind him slowly closed.

There is a small magic guide lamp installed on the wall of the dark passage to illuminate it, and after a while, I walked to the end of the dark passage, pushed open the wooden door in front of me, and the smell of engine oil came to my nose, not very pungent, but it was quite strong. Zero turned on the light, smiled at the messy scene in the secret room, closed the door and walked in.

This is the place where the old man Quinn studied machinery, although the old man is the ancestor of the vindictive family, he is very interested in magic machinery. According to him, when he was young, he took advantage of the "magic revolution" to have a heated fight with a group of magic device developers, and his passion for magic machines began at that time. At that time, he even cooperated with a few friends to develop the first magic water heater, but he did not disclose his identity as one of the developers, and it is expected that the Cretan family at that time also had a lot of opinions about this "unprofessional" family member. Later, due to the national war and the invasion of demons, he put his interests on hold, but when he was old, he still built such a secret room to satisfy his hobby.

More than a year ago, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and inadvertently sensed that there were signs of magic fluctuations in the depths of the family, so I groped all the way here, and it happened that the old man forgot to close the secret door carelessly for a while, so he found this secret room. It was also at that time that Zero began to understand the design principles of the world's machinery manufacturing industry, and a large number of design drawings and mechanical parts of magic machinery are kept in this secret room. Zero studied mechanical manufacturing and design in the original world, and although it was not difficult to understand the drawings, he was still amazed at the mechanical craftsmanship of the people in this world who combined magic with machinery. The old man saw that he was very talented in mechanics, so he allowed him to enter this secret room, but told him not to tell anyone, according to his words, as the ancestor of the Douqi family, if it was found that he liked to study magic machinery in private, he would be gossiped about. Since then, this secret room has become a secret for both grandparents and grandchildren.

Zero walked over to the large long table filled with various mechanical parts, turned on the lamp and sat down in a chair, then he raised his left hand and touched the storage ring on his index finger. This storage ring was a birthday present from Nassa on his birthday last year.

The market price of this storage ring with a storage volume of only 3 cubic meters is very high. The manufacture of a storage ring, in terms of manpower alone, requires a high-level enchanter above the platinum level to make it, and it also has to use the extremely valuable Yuan Tuojing as a material, expanding a stable and independent space in it and sealing it intact, and the price of this inconspicuous small ring on his hand is as high as more than 3,000 gold coins. Zero was very happy when he received this gift, it was a very practical gift. Nasha said it was a gift for him because of his natural talent. Generally, children's mental power is not skilled enough to use storage rings, but zero can.

Zero stretched his telekinesis onto the seal inscription engraved on the surface of the storage ring, and after driving the inscription, the seal of the storage ring opened, opening a spatial hole the size of a bowl out of thin air above the back of Zero's hand, and Zero reached in and took out a part and closed the storage space.

By the light of the lamp, Zero looked closely at the walnut-sized spherical crystal in his hand, engraved with dense small and intricate magical inscriptions. This is what Zero secretly got some time ago when he followed Wayne to the Denos Military Aircraft, this crystal ball that emits a pale yellow shimmer is the most important driving nucleus in the enchantment breaker.

Developed to facilitate the mission of Warrior soldiers, the Barrier Breaker can open a hole in the surface of the barrier that can connect the inside and outside of the barrier without breaking the barrier, making it easy for the user to enter and exit the barrier. The number of breakers in the military aircraft department was recorded, and Zero didn't plan to take away the basin-sized breakers, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, removed the magic guide drive nucleus inside, and unknowingly put it in the storage ring and took it away. Zero had rummaged through the blueprints of the breaker in Quinn's chamber, and as long as he could find the blueprints, and then the most critical drive core, he would be able to assemble an enchantment breaker himself in this chamber with enough mechanical parts.

Zero was already planning to leave here, yes, to leave this place that felt strange to him as soon as he opened his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had been an orphan of mediocrity in the past, and suddenly he was brought to this strange world, and with a high background, he felt out of place with everything around him. He was originally a loner, but now he suddenly has a happy family, which makes him feel very uneasy. He didn't know how he got here, and he couldn't enjoy it without understanding why. Zero had wanted to find the book that had brought him here, but he couldn't find it for more than two years. Moreover, life in the aristocracy was not satisfactory, although he ate well and dressed well, his words, behavior, etc. were restricted by cumbersome rules. As Wayne told him before, he is a member of the Cretan family, and everything he says and does represents the position of the Cretan family. Besides, deep down in Zero's heart, he didn't admit that he was from the Cretan family at all, his name was Lin Ling, and this was his name.

Zero originally planned to leave here to take a walk around the outside world when he grew up, and perhaps the reason for his rebirth could be found outside, but too many things had happened during this time, plus the emperor gave him a marriage...... The pressure of being a nobleman almost took his breath away. He felt that since God had given him a chance to live again, he would never live as bad as in his previous life, and in this life he just wanted to be free to do what he wanted. So, even though this family made him feel warm like he had never felt before, his desire to leave here slowly became firm.

Zero is now preparing for his departure from here, he has been saving money since he regained consciousness, the pocket money given by nobles to their children is much more generous than that of commoner children, Zero has saved a lot of money in the past two years, not to mention thousands of gold coins, enough for him to spend for a while after leaving here. The problem of money is solved, and the most important thing left is how to get out of here. It is impossible for him to leave his house and walk out of the imperial capital in the land of the Great White Heaven and Emperor, and if he wants to slip away without knowing it, he can only take advantage of the darkness. However, at night, the defensive barrier around the Cretan family's mansion will be opened, and a huge defensive barrier will be laid around the walls of the imperial capital. That's why Zero stole this drive nucleus, as long as he can assemble a breaker, he has a chance to get out of here.

Zero placed the drive nucleus under the lamp and stared at it with a long exhalation. Originally, he didn't plan to leave here so soon, but his idea of learning magic was not recognized by the people here, and the emperor's forced marriage arranged his life made him very disgusted, so he was ready to implement the plan as soon as possible. Although he is too young to leave home and may be inconvenient, he really can't wait to escape from his current life like being trapped in a birdcage, and he wants to see the strange and wonderful world outside. His last thought now was to awaken his magic after a while, and if he could learn magic in the open, he would consider staying here for a few more years, and if not, then he would have to find a way to leave. Although he was a little reluctant to meet so many people here, especially his family and friends, he was a hypocritical and philistine person and thing in his eyes, and he still felt that he was an orphan in his heart. He should be a free, winged eagle, not a finch in a beautiful birdcage.

Zero froze there without saying a word, frowning and pursing his lips, staring intently at the driving nucleus for a long, long time......
