Chapter 102: Mechanical Golems
The name "Saintly Lady" was heard by Penny from a guest, not in a state of consciousness, but in a drunken whisper.
It's not that the news is false, in fact, the truth is higher in what is said in this state.
Penny didn't know anything about the government, but she only noticed the gentleman's sad expression at the time.
In fact, Donald is also unfamiliar with the internal organs of the government, but he still understands some of the basic systems, and this so-called Holy Women's Church does not look like a government agency from the name.
If it wasn't a certain department, or it was a certain bureau, it was the first time he had heard of such a name.
"What else did the man say?"
Although there is not much interest in gossip, the name of this holy women's society does sound appealing.
"Saying that I can't help myself in that position, I have to do something or something, a lot of nonsense, I've only listened to part of it, Mr. Grant, haven't you told me how powerful the Holy Maiden is?"
"It should be quite powerful, doesn't that person say that he can't help himself, there must be something that has to be done, right?"
Casually chimed in, Donald secretly wrote down the name and passed the time in the theater.
Stephanie didn't let him wait too long, that is, about an hour, as there were more and more people in the theater, and most of the people in the lounge were top brands, and he would be blamed by the boss for being lazy during working hours.
"Why don't you just sleep here today? The bed in the store may be more comfortable than the team's villa, and someone will warm the bed." ”
Back on the street where Pinjinwei was located, there was a noticeable increase in the number of passers-by.
"Haha, that's not going to work, Finger is still at home waiting for me to feed him...... Do you have any information about those two things?"
Staying out here for one night, Donald was worried that he wouldn't be able to go back the next day......
"I asked them to help me keep an eye on the disappearances and finger severances, and now there is not much information gathered, not so much about those two cases, but some rumors about the Tate family, not only in the recent past, but also some of them that they have overheard and written down in the past. ”
The sisters in the store are not professional intelligence gatherers, and they usually pay more attention to their favorite topics, and Stephanie doesn't expect to be able to touch everything in detail when they come here, so she can only ask them to pay attention to this news in the near future.
"Hearsay it. ”
Looking at the front of him, his thumb rubbed the silver paint on the cane, which was a little rough, and when he looked down, he found that there were a few scratches.
Before I knew it, it seemed like a while since I came to this world.
"Wesley Tate, the current head of the Tate family, is said to be a vegetarian, and this matter is almost the consensus of high society, you should understand that this is a very strange thing, and he seems to be the only one in the whole of Dmingham who has this habit. ”
Stephanie didn't notice a slight change in Donald's mood and spoke.
"Vegan?"
In this era, there is no such thing as a good life, vegetables can only be a side dish on the table, and even the Orthodox Church has a slight prohibition of meat and fish, at most it is stipulated that minced meat is not eaten on certain days of the year.
"It's not clear how long it was, so to speak, but it must have been a while, and when he went out to a banquet, he had to have a chef cook a special meal for him. ”
In the eyes of the upper class, vegetarianism was a strange thing, and only the poor and low-class would spend their days on vegetable soup or hash browns.
The girls in the store remember this for a reason.
"Another thing, there seem to be some strange rumors about the identity of Mathil Tate. ”
Speaking of this, Stephanie also took out her notes and looked at the records on them before continuing,
"Some say that Mathil Tate was an illegitimate daughter because she never mentioned her mother in public, in fact...... Wesley Tate also doesn't mention his own wife, I'm talking about real wives. ”
"It's not strange to have an illegitimate daughter, but what does it mean not to mention your wife?"
It was not uncommon for a nobleman to have an illegitimate child or an illegitimate daughter, and some tabloids in Dmingham spent their days wondering who was whose illegitimate son.
"It's all rumors, saying that although Wesley Tate has a wife, he is not in the Tate family manor almost all the year round, but has been staying in his hometown, most people have never seen this couple appear together, there may be a conflict, but even so, Mathil Tate is still very favored, she is almost responsive to Wesley Tart's needs, such as the restaurant we went to before was a birthday gift that Wesley Tate bought for her, and all the income from the restaurant was her pocket money...... That's great. ”
To say that there is no envy is false, and when Mathil Tate is mentioned in the lounge, it is all an exclamation.
"I'm basically in a state of old age and death with my wife, but I have everything I want with my daughter, it seems that Wesley Tate loves his daughter very much, just like this kidnapping, the movement is so big, such a high reward has been opened, and I estimate that it will have to be doubled after a while. ”
Nader didn't find any special information from the two things Stephanie said, and he could only listen to it as rumor.
When I returned to the villa, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, because I didn't eat dinner, the two got off at the door of the restaurant near the villa, and ate some casually, and Donald also took a grilled fish and sausage from the store and packed it in his hand.
"Did you hear what the guest next to you was talking about?"
Skirting a newsstand, Stephanie stood in the light of a street lamp, a long shadow trailing behind her.
"Mechanical golems?"
The restaurant they went to had taken them to before, and it belonged to a good taste in the neighborhood, and there were naturally a lot of customers.
While they were eating, the people at the next table had been talking about mechanical golems, and Stephanie thought that Donald had stopped them when they wanted to stop them.
The mechanical puppet is the latest news from Whale Island, and the external propaganda is that the core technology in a certain aspect has made significant progress, so that the development of the mechanical puppet has entered a new stage, and it is very likely that some pilot products will be launched in the near future.
It was also the first time that Donald had heard of such a thing as a mechanical golem, he had seen the introduction of elemental golems and alchemy golems in spell books, and there was also a soul guard with a similar function in the second-level runes in the inscription notes.
But Donald hadn't seen such a mechanical golem before.
When he heard those people discuss, he thought that the technology level of this world was enough to make such a thing?
"Are you saying that mechanical golems can replace the police? I just heard them say that the government seems to be very interested in this technology, and maybe they want to use the mechanical golems as the daily patrol guards in Dmingham. ”
For most people, let alone mechanical puppets, ordinary alchemy puppets may not have seen them, curiosity is certain.
"I don't know, I was born in Pston, where even cars are rare, let alone mechanical golems...... Even I was looking forward to it when you mentioned it, and I was actually going to make the mechanical golems the City Watch, and I really wanted to know how they did it. ”
In Donald's understanding, mechanical puppets are equivalent to robots, which are carriers of a large amount of data seen in some works in his previous life or some human-like things composed of various integrated circuits, which always feel out of step with this world.
"Wait, I seem to have seen a sketch in their hands just now, and I heard them say that someone found it in the trash can when they went to Whale Island to make a delivery, and I went to get it. ”
Without waiting for Donald to speak, Stephanie trotted back, waiting for a while to see her running back with a yellowed blueprint in her hand.
"Donald, look, the draft design of the mechanical golem. ”
"They actually gave it to you..... Did you use a little trick?"
Donald was tired of looking at the flying insects outside the lampshade next to him, and took the drawing and asked.
"Anyway, they don't know how many times they've watched it, and it's nothing to show us. ”
Blinking her eyes twice, Stephanie put on an innocent face.
The whole drawing is indeed just a draft, and it is still a sketch, probably with the appearance of two mechanical golems, both of which look a little ...... Curiosity.
One is triangular, humanoid, but with long legs and arms, and the ends of the arms look as if there are two sharp blades extending out.
One is a headless robot, with only two legs on the lower disc and the upper part of the body, and a three-barreled gun-like structure hanging on either side.
"Do you think this kind of thing can be made now?"
Looking at the image on the sketch, Donald imagined what the two mechanical golems would look like when they materialized......
For the first time, Donald felt that his imagination was a little lacking.
"Those two people just said that there would be a pilot product in a while, and then they will know, mechanical puppet, we are the first place in the entire Ryan Empire, right? It's like an improved version of the airship......"
"This bold idea has been realized, and it is a revolutionary invention, tsk..... I, who came out of the religious district, was really scared. ”
The wave of industry is particularly fierce in this world, where many ideas that were not even able to be proposed and realized in previous lives seem to have the opportunity to flourish.
"Donald...... Donald!"
Stephanie slapped his arm twice with a sudden and sharp response, and deliberately lowered her voice.
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
She looked up blankly at Stephanie, but she dragged her to the back of the shelves outside a nearby ready-to-wear store.
"Look over there, Horn looks like he's arguing with someone. ”
Stefanie didn't have a good impression of the captain of the Rose Squad, and the contact was like this from the very beginning when she joined the team, and she didn't even understand why Suzanne was so obsessed with him, so naturally she didn't have much respect.
Ahead of him, around the corner, Horn was talking to a bearded man, and judging by his posture and the occasional sound, it was clear that the atmosphere of the conversation was not very harmonious.
