Chapter 17: The Ambition of the Little Handyman
"What? You said you had discussed that you would go to the Royal Academy together in the future?"
Salia first exclaimed in disbelief, and when she saw Murry's very serious appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehehe, they are students of the Viscountdom School, and they are eligible to be recommended to enter the Royal Academy, how can you go as a handyman? and go with them? Don't be funny, okay?"
Facing the witch's ridicule, Murray squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say before that you would help me enter the Royal Academy?"
Hearing this, the smile on Saria's face froze instantly, and then she shouted, "You agreed with them before we met. ”
A smile reappeared on her face, and Saria asked a little strangely, "I'm curious, how would you get to the Royal Academy without me?"
He touched his waist very casually, took out a money bag and threw it to the witch and replied, "Naturally, it depends on my craftsmanship, and this." ”
If you want to enter the Royal Academy of the Sun Empire, you naturally need the skill of Moli to modify a bicycle, but the more important thing is the gold coins in the money bag.
Flipping the money bag in her hand, Salia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know how much it costs to buy into the Royal Academy?"
Murry nodded unusually calmly: "I know, a thousand gold coins, I have now made up 100." ”
"100" and "1000" At this moment, Salia rolled her eyes and couldn't help but wonder, is this little ghost in front of her not counting well?
But before the witch could speak, Murray preemptively spoke: "But now, I can only rely on you, because my money needs to be used to repair the dragon heart, not to mention that you also promised me before, if I help you repair the dragon heart, you will help me enter the Royal Academy." ”
Salia's eyes widened, she looked at Mori, and muttered helplessly, "After a long time, you finally relied on me?"
Murray grinned and said, "Yes, who made you my cousin? ”
"Dong" raised his hand and gave Murry a chestnut, and Salia pretended to be angry and roared: "Hurry up and go to work, do you still want your cousin to feed you?"
At this moment, a guy with a pair of powerful hands is really like a very ordinary brother and sister, playing in the alleys of the slums of the steel capital.
After being lectured by Salia, Murray suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, and then whispered in her ear when Salia was stiff: "My dear, please rest assured, I will definitely work hard to make money." ”
After letting go of the witch, Murray turned around and ran out of the alley quickly, stopped at the mouth of the alley, placed the toolbox on the ground, stretched out a foot and stepped on the toolbox, and Saria watched as the small toolbox unfolded, "squeak" with the sound of gears turning, and the toolbox turned into a small scooter in a blink of an eye.
Murray stepped on the pedals, got on the scooter's raised cushion, and finally gave Sally a farewell kiss before driving off on the scooter.
When she saw Murry's toolbox turned into a scooter, Salia was already incredible, and the witch was even more surprised to see that the scooter could drive itself.
Hurried out of the alley, and saw Murray speeding down the street with his little scooter on the street paved with quaint floor tiles.
It wasn't until Murray turned into another alley on the side of the street that Salia withdrew her gaze, turning and walking back as she muttered, "The machine is really amazing." ”
The previous three modified bicycles had already surprised Salia, and after seeing the scooter stretched out in Murray's toolbox, she finally let her really see Murray's so-called "craftsmanship", which was really amazing.
In fact, if he hadn't met Salia last night, maybe Murray would have driven his scooter to Uncle Raul's house for dinner.
Because the wheels of the scooter make a loud noise as they roll on the stone brick floor, and because the wheels rub against the green bricks on the city streets, they leave a mark, so Morry chose to walk last night.
Driving a scooter through the city, the streets are lined with small red brick buildings, because the slum is close to the suburban factories, and the surface of the red brick buildings looks old and dilapidated due to the exhaust fumes from the factories.
When the wheels of the scooter collide with the young people on the street, they make a "stomping" sound, causing pedestrians on both sides of the street to look sideways.
Some kind pedestrians will greet Murray with a smile: "Hey, Murray, go to work?"
Murray would also slow down a little and smile in response, "Yes, Uncle (Auntie) wish you a good morning." ”
There are also those who regard industry and machinery as demons, and will try to distance themselves from Murray while cursing in a low voice: "Serve the devil's boy, may you be stripped of your heart by the devil." ”
For those curses, although they could be heard with the help of a mechanical aid from the heart, Murray did not pay attention to them, but smiled in return.
Because in the Solar Empire and even in the West as a whole, there are many people who shy away from industry, and even those who are willing to greet Murray do not really accept industry and machinery, but only greet Murray out of politeness.
The people of the slums always start busy early in the morning, after all, the commoners are not entitled to enjoy life like the aristocracy.
Most people in the slums get up early to rush to the subway station and take the subway to the city half of the aristocracy to get to work.
In the aristocratic quarter, there are many shops and various companies, which are the source of income for the common people.
Although the work in the aristocratic districts was very busy, and the harsh nobles were not generous in their money, for most of the people of the empire, they would rather work under the harsh nobles than work in the factories in the suburbs.
Driving in the opposite direction of the scooter and the flow of people, gradually the streets began to have fewer pedestrians, and the facades of the small red brick buildings on both sides have turned black.
After another two blocks, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the small buildings on both sides seemed empty.
If it weren't for the scorching sun shining on your head, walking on such a street would really feel creepy.
Turning into a narrow alley again, and just driving to the middle of the alley, two figures suddenly rushed out from both sides of the alley, blocking the road.
"Hey, boy, this road can't be taken, it's too late for you to turn around and go back now, or Paine will be unkind to you. ”
It was a man with a wide body and a fat body, not tall, but his fat and bloated body stood up and almost filled the entire alley.
The other party was wearing a wide robe similar to that of a church priest, and it was washed with a pale color, and even the small sun on his chest was washed as if it had been glued to a sticker.
At this time, the only people who appear in the vicinity of the factory city must be the gang that hides like rats in the abandoned city all day long.
And the fat man with a fat head and big ears in front of him, from the robe he was wearing, it was not difficult to tell that the other party should be a member of the "Sunflower Choir".
