The nineteenth block of the fifth district is a street of mechanical shops.

It is full of all kinds of large and small machinery shops, selling all kinds of steam equipment, accessories, muskets... There are also mechanical maintenance services, customized individual mechanical skeletons, armored personnel carriers, and even custom mechanical city design business.

"Carl's Mechanical Repair Shop" is not a big storefront, on the corner of the back street.

Walking into the shop, a thick smell of butter and rust came to my face.

In the shop, there are all kinds of tools everywhere, and there are some samples for sale and semi-finished products with unfinished orders hanging on the wall, most of which are small robotic arms or mechanical exoskeletons.

Carl Jr. seems to have a special interest in delving into this field.

......

Hearing Wren's intention, Karl was shocked: "What, Grandpa Nieto was captured?" ”

"Yes. The Winster family came last night..."

Wren said, briefly recounting the incident of the Winster family's threat last night, and added, "Now I want to make sure that the teacher is safe and that he has been caught by Omar's men. ”

He had only just come to the City of Radiance, and his roots were still very shallow, so he wanted to come to Karl, a permanent resident, to ask about the situation.

As long as the old man is still alive, he can find a way to see if he can be rescued.

Carl listened, and that immature little face exuded the solemnity of an adult.

But he didn't seem too surprised, and only said angrily: "Those hateful fellows of the Winster family really did it! ”

When Wren heard this, he was surprised: "You know? ”

"yes, it's not the first time that the Winster family has come to see Grandpa Nieto."

After all, Carl Jr. has known Ilubeck for a longer time, and he understands the whole process of the matter, and said: "About a year ago, the old immortal of the Winster family has no hope of continuing his life, and he doesn't know where he found out that Grandpa Nieto has a secret operation to prolong his life, and then he sent someone to contact him..."

Needless to say, the old man of Illubeck's temper certainly didn't give him a good face.

Then he refused many times, angering the Winster family.

The old man was already in a semi-retired state, hiding in the sewers to tinker with some experiments. Unless he encounters an unavoidable favor like Bazel before, he will make a move, otherwise he will not have contact with the outside world at all.

But what... After all, he has a "head replacement surgery" that makes the top elites feel indebted.

The Winster family, the head of the five major families of the Shining City, has the same rights as the top nobles of the king and the grand duke.

But the more powerful those upper echelons are, the more afraid they are of death!

In the eyes of those people, if they don't save them in death, this is not to give them face at all.

Since it is "useless", what should I be polite to you?

You have a big reputation, I can't afford to mess with you, but someone can.

It just so happens that Omar's side also has the meaning of "extradition". The two sides are in the ambiguous period of signing an alliance, which is why Ilrubek was arrested this time.

.......

"I've also heard recently that the 'Winster Hospital' intensive care unit has gone to a special patient, and now the whole city is looking for a top doctor to stay alive. It seems to be the old patriarch of Winster who is about to die..."

Carl said, with a look of disgust.

He was also disgusted by the emergence of a privileged class in the "Free Capital", and said, "Grandpa Nieto has long been wary of them playing tricks... That's why they gave me these things. ”

Wren's brow furrowed as he listened.

It turns out that the teacher gave him so much yesterday, in fact, he had a hunch that this kind of thing would happen?

"Oh, yes..."

At this time, Karl seemed to remember something, and said: "Grandpa Nieto has put all the previous research materials, medical cases, potion formulas, and so on here with me. Originally, he said that if he had an accident, he would dust these things and destroy them if anyone came to find them..."

As he spoke, he knocked on the steel wall of the store, revealing a secret box, and after a moment of conversation, he came again: "But not long ago, after accepting you as an apprentice with Brother Rennes, Grandpa Nieto changed his attention. ”

"Teacher... Leave these things to me? ”

Wren watched Carl's move as he handed over the box, stunned.

He has only been studying with the old man for more than a month, and it is estimated that he has taken the shortest apprenticeship.

He didn't expect Ilubeck to keep such precious research materials for himself.

"Hmm."

Karl nodded and said, "Grandpa Nieto originally wanted to give it to you directly, but I was afraid that if something really happened, you would also be caught and things would be taken away by the bad guys." That's why I didn't tell you. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Rennes, I'll hand over this thing to you." Grandpa Nieto also said, in case of an accident, let me tell you, saying that these things are still very profound for you now, and you can only learn them after you advance, and I hope you will try to think about it after you lay a good foundation..."

“...”

Wren took the iron box that Carl had lowered over, and his expression was a little complicated.

These research materials, potion formulas, and medical cases are the most important things for a scientist engaged in scientific research.

He didn't have to open it, he also knew that the contents were absolutely valuable.

Suddenly, he felt that this little box was heavy. There is a top scientist who has been working hard all his life.

Those potion recipes alone are priceless.

Ilubeck passed these things on to himself, and he also handed over the inheritance.

But this... It also has the meaning of "supporting orphans"?

The old man won't want to do the big thing like the "Prince Fox Sudden Death" incident again...

......

Wren thought about it and asked, "Carl, can you find a way to find out the whereabouts of the teacher?" At least... Make sure he's still safe. ”

Karl pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go find Hook 'Red Nose' on the street right away, he's an intelligence merchant, he should know some clues." ”

As he spoke, he was about to run outside the store, and said as he ran, "Brother Rennes, you can help me take care of the shop." If Grandpa wakes up, you tell him I'll be back in a while. ”

Wren nodded: "Okay." ”

Karl hurried out of the shop and disappeared around the corner.

Wren checked the storage ring in the box, which was full of dense folders. He didn't plan to take a closer look, but just vacated all the materials into the folded space.

At this time, in the shadows, Bazel was probably afraid that Wren would do some irrational actions, and also said: "Dr. Ilubeck should be safe for the time being. Even if he is extradited back to Omar, no one will dare to kill him. ”

"Hmm."

Wren nodded.

Since the "Heishuitai" has a fourth-order master, the old man's rookie combat effectiveness must not even have the qualifications to resist.

On the other hand, it's a good thing.

As long as people are alive, everything is fine.

"Don't worry too much."

Bazel didn't want Wren to put his life at risk, and said: "The Omar royal family is probably afraid of leaking the scandal, or maybe some old immortal guys are not giving up, and they have the idea to fight those taboo studies... Anyway, if it is to arrest someone, he will definitely not be in danger in a short time. ”

Wren didn't speak.

Ten years have passed, and the doctor has not shown much in these years, and his reputation is not as sensitive as before. Arresting people now will indeed be a lot less troublesome. But there should still be no danger to life...

I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to think about it himself, so he will take the initiative to "pretend" something.

......

Woo... Woo... Woo...

Before Carl could return, suddenly, a muffled siren sounded throughout the city, like an air raid siren.

The urgent expression of the listener pierced the streets and alleys, causing everyone to have a shocked look on their faces.

Wren's eyes lit up.

And the old fritter of Bazel on the side obviously understood something, frowned slightly, and muttered: "Huh... S-Class War Alert?! Is the beast tide attacking the city, or is the city lord's mansion going to make a big move? ”
