Chapter Fifty-Eight: Da Keer's Determination (3rd Watch)

"Yes, by signing this contract, you are the core member of the Philos family, and you have the rights that all core members should have."

Da Keer lowered her hands and smiled.

She was not a few years older than Jeno, and her smile was very moving, but Jeno was so focused on this contract that he didn't have the heart to look up at her when he heard her answer.

After getting the answer he wanted, Jeno signed his name on the contract.

The system then prompts him that the first task is complete, and a blueprint of the puppet slowly takes shape in his mind.

"That's fine." Jeno pushed the contract back, and Da Keer nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

"It's getting late, would you like to stay and have lunch with Dakor? I will send someone to prepare a room for you, and you can live in the manor from now on. ”

"No need, I still have to go to work, I'll talk about moving when my rent is due, just let Madame Gray come to me quickly."

After saying that, Jeno pushed away the chair and got up to leave, but Da Keer still sat in place, smiling.

When the butler closed the door of the conference room, a crack opened in the load-bearing pillar behind Da Keer, and then expanded into a secret door, and out of it came a tall woman in a gray floor-length dress.

If Jeno was still here, he would have discovered that this woman was the one he had caught a glimpse of in the aisle.

"Da Keer, you did a good job, but as the head of the family, the means are a little immature."

With her hands on her waist, she walked gracefully to Da Keer's side, the sound of footsteps coming from under her skirt was like the sound of metal scraping the ground.

"Aunt, please speak." Da Keer was respectful.

"The interests of the family are more important than personal secrets, and there is no need to protect my secrets so much, and the appropriate sacrifice will be exchanged for greater progress. Don't be complacent, I alone can't keep Philos strong. ”

The woman's cold voice made Da Keer's hair stand on end, since she witnessed her grandfather being gently strangled to death by her own hands, Da Keer has always been afraid that what she did would make the other party unhappy.

She was not mentally prepared to be the head of the house, and the teachings from her aunt and grandmother Camille made her frightened, for fear that she would accidentally repeat her grandfather's mistakes.

How can a great-niece be closer than a younger brother?

"I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted, but if the other party knows your secret, once he breaks the contract, your existence will greatly reduce the threat to the major families, which will have a great impact on the family."

"How to tie him honestly to the Philos family depends on your means."

"Jeno doesn't seem to be short of money, and he doesn't have a lot of interest in inventions, it seems to me that he just wants to live. And when he lives, what can bind him? Does my aunt have any advice on this? ”

Camille seems to have thought of something, there was also a young and intelligent craftsman who signed a lifetime contract with the family, and what he invented created the Gray Lady, an efficient killing machine, which made the Philos family stronger and stronger, and at the same time, he also took her heart.

Her fingers covered the hex crystal device on her chest, and her eyes were distracted:

"The most important thing to maintain people's hearts is feelings."

"Emotional ......"

In an instant, the words "honor", "belonging", "family", and "love" flashed through Da Keer's mind, and then the oath she had made on the day she became a secret agent emerged: "The family is the first, and I will serve faithfully, without hypocrisy or selfishness." For this oath I will make all my vows, with my spirit, with my body, and with my heart.

Da Keer was originally trained as a secret agent, but the world unexpectedly, the person she needed to serve died, so she was driven to the shelves and became the head of the family.

It seemed like a good thing, at least she could control her feelings. But the agent's dedication was already deeply seared in her mind, and she saw that her lips were tightly closed, as if she had made up her mind.

"For my family, I am willing to dedicate, and Da Keer is ready to sacrifice at any time."

Camille didn't think much about it, turned around and walked into the secret door and left, she needed to observe Jano for a while to see if this genius of unknown origin was a spy sent by a certain family.

Oh, and maybe the barons from Zaun have already reached Piltover with their dirty hands, but Camille will take care of cutting them off.

……

……

……

On the way back, Jeno has been studying the puppet blueprints in his mind.

The puppet is a small brass floating ball that emits energy pulses and sonic attacks, and the structure inside the sphere is so complex that it takes less than a month to make it perfectly.

The core technology of the puppet uses clockwork power technology, and its maker is Orianna, who has become a clockwork demon in the normal world.

Therefore, the level of science and technology is much higher than that of Colin's works in the current world line.

Jeno wasn't very familiar with this aspect, and was going to show Colin the design drawings to see what could help him, the artificial lung he had picked up last time hadn't been made yet.

When I came to Colin's workshop, I found that the doors and windows were locked, and no one was open.

When he picked up the communicator and saw the message left by Oriana, Jeno realized that Colin had taken Oriana to the door to repair her prosthetic leg.

Yes, communicators can leave messages to each other, and the problem of typing is solved by Jeno with a handwriting screen, but the function of saving information is not solved, and it will disappear after a few days.

There was no one in the workshop, so Jeno returned to the apartment alone, and there was pen and paper in the room to draw him a blueprint.

When he walked to his porter, Jeno saw the door of 504 next door wide open, and the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets came from inside.

He was a little puzzled, wasn't Tamara supposed to be interviewing right now? How did you get back? Do you want to pack up your things and run away?

Then a rough female voice came from inside:

"Caitlin, what the hell are we looking for? What are you talking about suspicious things? ”

The other spoke, her voice calm and calm:

"Anything like a map."

"Why is this cabinet locked, do you want to smash it open?"

"Smash it, be careful, don't smash the contents inside, and then you have some money ready."

"What are you doing with the money?"

"Pay to the landlady."

"......" The rugged female voice paused, and then Jeno heard the sound of steam erupting, followed by a crunch of metal breaking.

"Wei, it seems that you have a good grasp of the new equipment, but you only smashed the lock, I thought this cabinet would be smashed by you."

"Hey, the power of poverty is infinite, what's in it? A bunch of blueprints? I was dizzy to see. ”

"Show me ......"

There was a sound of turning the page......

Caitlyn said solemnly:

"It's not just the blueprint, it's a complete map of the city, and all kinds of routes are hidden inside, this energy route is Gleewell Street, this is Stellar Avenue, this is Blauphire Street......"

"Why can't I recognize it at all?"

"It's strange that you road idiot can see it, you don't need you to recognize it, now go and ask someone to bring all the contents of this room to the docks, find a Shurima merchant ship to stand by, and wait for me to escort Tamara over."

"Yes sir!"

A rush of footsteps got closer and closer, and from 504 came out a straight female police officer with a long purple length, wearing a custom-made high hat, her facial features were hidden by the shadow cast by the brim, her expression was unclear, her hair was purple and black, and it swept softly over Jeno's shoulders.

This was followed by a female police officer with pink messy hair, with a mark carved on her face, and a murderous spirit, who violently pushed Jeno out of the way in the hallway with a huge Hex fist.

"Get out of the way! The police handle the case, get out of the way! ”

By the time Jeno clutched his chest and looked back into the hallway, the two policewomen had long since disappeared.

"Damn, Wei, I remember this hatred in the little book!"

Dejected, Jeno entered 505, found a pen and paper, and began to copy the puppet's blueprints onto paper.

But the more he draw, the more dizzy he became, and after half an hour of drawing, Jeno trembled and picked up the communicator from his pocket, and as soon as he pressed the button, the whole person fell on the workbench, unconscious.
