Chapter 527: Scarlett's Identity (Part I)
When he saw countless steaming steel monsters in the distance, Zuan arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is the first time Aix has entered the city of Zaun, walking on the streets of Zaun, Aix has a feeling of coming to the mechanical city, even the shops and houses on both sides of the street are full of mechanical feeling, small handicraft workshops can be seen everywhere, and the sound of tinkling is endless.
Scarlett is very familiar with Zaun's neighborhood, and takes Ax and the Shadow Assassin around to a huge laboratory. In Zu'an, the status of a person is closely related to his laboratory, and the larger and more advanced the laboratory, the more noble the identity of the owner in it.
The laboratory that Aix walked into was obviously a mechanical laboratory, and machine tools could be seen everywhere, and countless workers were busy, without even looking at Aix.
Ax followed Scarlett all the way to the depths of the laboratory, and after a turn, the whole environment suddenly changed, small river water, green trees and grass, if it weren't for the ceiling in the sky, Ax thought he was in the wild.
"This is Professor Stanwyck's lab, and the professor likes the quiet environment, but you also know the environment in Zuan, so the professor had to carve out a separate place in the lab, which helps him to research and open his mind." Scarlett explained to Aix, and then, walking towards a large door, pressed her hand on the detector next to the door, and after a flash of red light, the glass door opened automatically.
"Professor Stanwyck?" Brother Ax groaned, but didn't say anything more, and followed Scarlett inside.
An old man appeared in front of Aix's eyes, the old man was meticulously dressed, even in his own home, he was wearing a dress, sitting upright on a chair, holding a cup of tea, and taking a sip.
From the time Ax entered to Stanwick, Stanwick didn't even raise his head, and drank tea by himself, arrogantly like a noblewoman with eyes above the top.
"Professor, this is Lord Aix." Scarlett introduces Stanwick.
"The Child of the Void?" As if he had just learned of Aix's arrival, Stanwyk finally turned his attention to Aix, but he was still sitting in his chair, as if he were watching an interview.
Ax walked to Professor Stanwick and sat down opposite him without any guest awareness, and then, he poured himself a cup of tea, Aix's actions obviously made Stanwyk unhappy, and he had already frowned, but, thinking of Aix's identity, he finally didn't say anything.
Ax took a sip, but he didn't drink it, he just rinsed his mouth, spit it directly on the ground, and said: "Mr. Professor, you have really had a hard time, you have achieved so much, but you drink such unpleasant tea, could it be that those high-ranking people of Zaun invited you from the spacious and comfortable laboratory of Piltover, and entertained you like this?" ”
Aix said with a look of helping Stanwyck, but Stanwick had already clenched his fists in an atmosphere, eager to give Ax two punches, this cup of tea was his favorite, and it was worth a thousand gold, so it was wasted by Aix, and said that it was unpleasant, as if his proud work was belittled as worthless, unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Lord Aix, Professor Stanwyck is the person in charge of this project, if you have any questions, you can ask the professor for advice." Scarlett seemed to see the smell of gunpowder between the two, and said in a mediating voice.
"Good! I happen to have a lot of questions to ask. Ax smiled at Scarlett, then looked at Stanwick and asked, "Professor, you are an expert in this area, I need to know why those artificial heroes lost control, I think, after such a long time, you should have found the reason!" ”
Aix's question obviously embarrassed Stanwyk for a while, because after such a long time, they didn't make any progress, and even what caused the loss of control was uncertain, it could only be attributed to the hero's will, which was uncontrollable.
"We are studying this matter, and we have not yet reached an acceptable conclusion, but you can rest assured, we already have some eyebrows, and I believe that it will not be long before we can find the cause, and as long as we find the cause, we will be able to find a solution." Stanwyck said angrily.
"I'm sure it's not the first time you've said this, but I don't know when the first time was? A few days ago? Or a few months ago? Aix said without giving face, directly exposed Steinwick's old background, and then, without waiting for Steinwick to get angry, he spoke again: "It's a pity, if Victor is here, maybe he has found a solution, after all, in terms of the combination of spirit and body, Victor is the authority." ”
"Don't mention that madman in front of me, he's a traitor to science and magic, and he doesn't deserve to be compared to me, and besides, he's dead, and I don't want to hear anything about pinning his hopes on a dead man, whatever his identity." Stanwyck stood up, his hands on the table, his eyes staring at Ax viciously, it was really hard to say what would happen if Ax continued.
"Okay, then we'll talk about some living things, Professor Stanwyck, when the hell will you find out why, I need a time limit." Ax took a step back, but immediately said further persecution, and the question did not allow Steinwick to escape.
"A week, I only need a week, we've got an eyebrow, all that's missing now is experimentation." Stanwyck said affirmatively, but even he didn't notice that the tone of his voice was no longer the same condescending gesture as before, but the posture of reporting to his superiors and making a military order.
"A week?" Ax whispered, "Well, I'll wait for you for a week, and I need to know about the situation here, but hopefully, in a week, I'll get the answer I want!" After Ax finished speaking, he didn't wait for Steinwick to answer, and walked directly outside, Scarlett bowed slightly to Steinwick, and walked out with him, and watching Ax leave, Stanwick subconsciously stood up, until Ax left, only to find that he was completely passive, whether it was the right to speak or the status of the judgment.
"Damn!" Stanwyck yelled and threw his beloved tea directly to the ground, shattering it.
