16. Departure
This new metal prosthetic is better than before, but the key shield, but there is no grip in sight, Rohr took a closer look, only to find that there are five more screw holes on the inside.
Before he could ask, the strange villager grabbed his newly attached prosthetic leg and spun the fingers of his thumb, and five screws the thickness of the little finger appeared on the back of the prosthetic hand.
Aim the screw at the screw hole in the shield and rotate your thumb again, and the screw will automatically rotate and clamp, firmly fixing the entire shield on the back of your hand.
The strange villager then rotated his thumb in reverse, and the screws withdrew from the back of his hand, removing the shield from the back of his hand.
Quite a brilliant design!
"Awesome! Will play! β
Luo Er first praised it, and then asked:
"But if it's fixed like this, won't it be a little uncomfortable to use?"
The strange villager reached out and grabbed the wrist of the prosthetic leg, and pulled it out hard, revealing the bulbous joint inside.
The entire palm of the hand suddenly becomes extremely flexible, and can rotate in all directions from multiple angles, and can even rotate quickly like a windmill.
He spun the third knuckle of his little finger again, and saw the palm of his hand flip to reveal a shining mirror......
Curious, Rohr spun the second knuckle of his little finger himself.
Two blades popped out between the middle and index fingers, and the two fingers became a pair of scissors......
True Scissorhands!
Rohr then spun the other knuckles and watched his palms or fingers turn into all sorts of things, scissors, knives, razors, pliers, tweezers, awls, wrenches, hammers, corkscrews, and so on.
"You're really awesome!"
He finally exclaimed sincerely.
Strange villagers did not feel sad or happy, and continued to bow their heads and fiddle with the pile of waterwheel blades.
After coming out of the strange villager's house, the whole village knew that Luo Er was going to go far away, and they sent large bags of vegetables and fruits to dry food tents or something, and even borrowed him a small donkey.
"Everyone is really enthusiastic, thank you!"
Rohr said with emotion.
"It's okay village chief, it's just a little careful."
"Yes, yes, village chief, pay attention to safety on the road."
"I heard that the corn in Newlin is delicious, and if the village chief is free, remember to bring some seeds back!"
Rohr told everyone to flee to Yorktown in case of danger, and not to think about using a sliding shovel against a tiger or something.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, went home, and pulled out an old sheet, which was tightly wrapped around the surface of the shield.
This shield is too ornate and too ostentatious, and it is easy to attract thieves to covet it, so it has to be disguised well.
Wealth is not exposed!
Finally, he found a slender stick, tied a carrot to the top, wrapped it on his back, and rode down the hill on a little donkey.
It wasn't until he had gone a little further that he heard a burst of cheers from the other side of the village......
"Let's settle down in this town tonight, right? And then tomorrow we will walk this path again......"
Rohr had a map given to him by the fat man in his hand and planned his route.
Looking at it, his left hand suddenly lightened, and it turned out that the carrot on the stick was eaten by the little donkey.
Luo Er had no choice but to tie a carrot again, and sighed in a low voice:
"Can you feel even such a slight change in weight? This new arm is so much stronger than the previous one, and this strange guy really has something. β
"Anyway, should I inquire about his origins? Before he came to the village, he must have been a little famous, right? β
Rohr pondered, pulled out a piece of letter paper from his bosom, and rotated the knuckle of his left hand again, causing a small piece of charcoal to emerge from the tip of his index finger.
He tried to draw the appearance of the strange villagers on the letterhead, and after a few strokes, he really sketched the general appearance of the other party:
γ½(β^γ¨^)οΎ
"Vivid, lifelike, three-pointed, exquisite!"
Rohr commented on himself and put the letter close to his body.
For the next half day of the journey, Luo Er and the little donkey alternately carried weights, one time it carried him, the other time he carried it, and with the cooperation of all people, they finally arrived at the location marked on the map before dark.
I didn't see the town of Duoduo on the map, only a large bare wasteland, and occasionally I could see some ruins.
Although it was still summer, Rohr felt cold.
He took another closer look at the map.
Good fellow, the publication date was eighty years ago, and it is enough to be a unique ancient book.
He had no choice but to pick up some firewood, build a bonfire, throw the map into the fire, and then huddle with the little donkey to keep warm, silently nibbling on dry food.
---------------------
Klee was attending a dinner party, and a dazzling array of delicacies flowed in front of her, but she didn't look like she had much appetite, and she nibbled on a small piece of sausage for a long time.
This attracted the attention of the other guests at the table, who then laughed at the organizer of the banquet in a low voice, making the factory owner who had put all his effort into organizing the dinner look so embarrassed that he wanted to strangle his cook.
Although Klee has always rarely spoken, drunk, or socialized when attending such dinners, Anya and the butler helped to deal with them.
But she is undoubtedly the real protagonist of tonight's banquet, and everyone else is just a foil.
If she is not satisfied with the banquet and refuses to nod her head to help, the factory owner is afraid that it will be in danger of bankruptcy and closure.
"Does it taste bad?"
Anya on the side asked in a low voice.
"No, it's just that somehow, I don't want to eat ......"
Klee's big eyes drooped slightly, and she looked listless.
I don't know why, she suddenly missed her father very much, and her heart was filled with an indescribable, empty feeling.
"Then let's go back and rest first, shall we?"
Anya suggested.
Klee nodded.
So Anya unceremoniously took Klee and prepared to leave, without the slightest intention of saving some face for her master.
The factory owner was on the verge of crying, and chased them all the way to the door, trying to keep them.
Anya also sighed helplessly, reluctantly stopped, and explained:
"Sir, you don't have to be like this, Miss Brown and I are here to clear the remaining monsters, and she will treat them equally, and you don't have to worry about your mine being missed."
When Klee was out and about, she always used the pseudonym 'Koro', and even the name that spread throughout the empire was also this pseudonym, and few people knew her real name.
Even her origins and experiences are also confidential, which is a kind of protection for her from curses and divination.
can keep it from Rohr because of this layer of protection.
The factory owner was about to say something more, but Anya had already taken Klee into the car.
