Charlie Knight graduated from the Knight Academy-Mystery Department, a genius who majored in suture, and seemed to have nothing to do with the Department of Mechanics in Han Dong's memory.

Moreover, knights of this level do not need to come to the craftsman area to buy these mechanical equipment for ordinary people.

Even if you need to debug precision machinery, I believe that with Charlie's relationship, you can easily connect directly with high-level mechanics.

"Strangely, Charlie is standing on the inside of the counter, combined with the name of the watch shop...... Could it be that he is the owner of the shop? It can't be, the Knight of the Secret Whisper has a heavy workload, and it is simply impossible to have extra time to leave the Secret Pavilion except for the special vacation given on the eve of the expedition. ”

As Han Dong looked closely, through the body of a customer, he found that there was also a short old man of about seventy years old, sitting at the counter, adjusting a precious watch through a rather sophisticated instrument.

"Mia, follow me......"

"Good!"

Mia thought for a while that Han Dong really wanted to buy something for her.

However, as she got closer to the watch shop, Mia gradually recognized the high-ranking knights who were helping with the chores...... Once at the Knights' Conference, he easily subdued the monsters cultivated by the Hell Knights, and he was not at the same level as himself at all.

"Charlie. LeBron. Bermanchev! How did he end up here? ”

An invisible pressure swept through Mia's body.

The Spider's Eye can even glimpse the phantom of some terrifying puppet, which is hovering behind the knight, and as long as Charlie pulls his index finger, it will lead the puppet to descend and kill the enemy in an instant.

The same is true, Mia is half-hidden behind Han Dong, showing a cowering appearance.

Han Dong had a normal face.

After arranging the collar and cuffs, he reached out and pushed open the glass door of the watch shop.

Bell bell bell!

The brass bell attached to the door rings.

A thin wire is then connected to the precision gear parts on the left-hand side, and a miniature steam press is driven to start the piston movement.

Through this system, the force of pushing the door is perfectly converted into energy, which is transmitted to a mechanical puppet standing on the side of the door, dressed in a suit and responsible for welcoming guests.

After a smile and a bow.

The puppet then slowly raises its right arm and hangs it horizontally in front of it.

This is done by asking the guests to place their top hats or coats in their hands.

Immediately after that, it is simply sorted and stored.

Current.

An aristocratic man with a solid gold eagle-headed cane and a pot-bellied poop was standing at the counter, waiting attentively for the old man to help adjust his watch.

There was no trace of arrogance from the nobility at all, and he was smiling and bowing his head silently.

When he heard the doorbell ringing, he even turned around and signaled to the two people who entered the door to be quiet.

As the precise debugging process was completed, the aristocratic man also hurriedly bowed: "Thank you very much!" Mr. Lindbergh, your craft is still so good. ”

After the man paid, he carefully held the watch in a closed tin box, put on the top hat handed by the welcome robot, and quickly left.

However, this seems to be a very ordinary watch repair link, but Han Dong saw a hint of it.

The watch that has been repaired by the old man is definitely not only the school team's time, but also has some miniature power sources embedded in it and a rather sharp multi-folding knife.

It is not clear what it will be used for.

Han Dong hurriedly stepped forward to greet politely and explained his intentions, "Senior Charlie, Mia and I happened to be passing by here. I found that my senior was actually in the store, so I came over to say hello...... Who is this? ”

Charlie also has a good impression of Han Dong, a junior.

After all, Han Dong took over the documents for him with more than a week's workload without saying a word, allowing him to have a special holiday on the eve of the expedition in advance.

"Lindbergh, my adoptive father.

This shop was named after my adoptive father.

His adoptive father is the oldest clockmaker in Artisan Street, and his skills are also first-class...... On weekdays, if I'm free, I'll come here to help. ”

Charlie told the origin of the name of the store.

The old man pushed the bronze mirror on his face, stared at Han Dong and Mia, his face was full of disgust, as if he thought that the arrival of the two had disturbed the business of the watch shop.

"Charlie, since it's your friend, let's go out and talk, I don't need your help here for the time being."

"Good...... I'll be back later. ”

Charlie also seemed to be a little bored in the store, so he happened to take the opportunity to go out and breathe.

Dressed in a formal attire and wearing a newsboy hat to hide the sparse top of his head.

Click~

When he closed the door of the store, Charlie also took a deep breath and seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

"Nicholas, what are you doing here? Your girlfriend doesn't look like someone who needs to use normal mechanical equipment...... I think she seemed to be in the top 10 of this knights' conference. ”

Hearing the word "girlfriend", Mia's eyes lit up, and her fear of Charlie weakened a lot.

Han Dong didn't hide anything, and took out the letter.

Staring at the large and small gear wax medals on it, Charlie Knight naturally understood Han Dong's intentions.

"Invitation authorized by the Order of Steam...... By the way, have you ever been to Steam City before? ”

"Steam City? Isn't it the Steam Knights? ”

"Looks like you haven't been...... I happen to have time to breathe, so I'll give it a trip too.

[Steam City] is a very interesting place, if I hadn't been too arrogant back then, and owed Captain Hugo a great favor, I would have chosen the Steam Knights. ”

"Did Knight Charlie go in as the commander of the [Puppet Guard]?"

"No, go in in the name of your adoptive father...... His adoptive father used to be a senior engineer of the Steam Knights, and he participated in the design of the [Clock Tower].

After I retired, I opened a watch shop here under my name. ”

"Clock Tower Designer ......"

Han Dong recalled the meeting just now, and at first glance, the old man seemed to be just an ordinary person.

But when you get closer, you can faintly feel something mysterious similar to that of a clockman, an aura that can bend time.

"By the way, who sent the invitation? Generally speaking, only elite knights can invite outsiders into Steam City. ”

"Mr. Newton."

"Congreve. Newton? ”

Suddenly, Charlie's eyes immediately became gloomy, and he frowned and whispered, "How could you have a connection with this person?" Be careful...... This man is no less dangerous than the demons outside the city.

The adoptive father was unemployed as a senior engineer in advance and quit Steam City because his concept did not match this person. ”

"Well, I do perceive some danger...... Thank you seniors for the reminder. ”

"If the matter is not urgent, when you enter the [Steam City] later, don't show Newton's letter yet, and I'll take you in directly.

I don't want to get involved with the Cult of the Mechanicus as soon as I enter the city. ”

"Okay."
