Chapter 53: Assembling a Mechanical Doll
Standing in front of the door and staring at the Archon for a moment, Tyrell finally woke up from his shock and said to Charlemagne, who was standing there, "Alright, Charlemagne, you go and go about your business first, you are not needed here for the time being." ”
Charlemagne, of course, did not dare to have any objections, bowed and exited the room, and gently closed the door.
After Charlemagne's departure, to Murray's surprise, the consul did not immediately ask himself, but bowed his head again.
Standing at the door, he waited for a long time, and found that the consul had not paid any attention to his intentions, so he simply began to observe the layout of the room.
Although I had observed the layout of the room with my consciousness before, when I was really in it, I still had to admit that the spacious room in front of me was really simple, and from the simple layout of the room, I am afraid that I would not dare to imagine that this was an archon's room.
Glancing around, Murray unconsciously took a step and began to approach the Archon's table lightly.
The archon, who was busy on the table, didn't even look up, but just took care of himself on the table.
Finally, he walked to the table and looked down at the archon, and was immediately shocked by what he saw.
The consul hunched on the table, not busy with official documents, but trying to assemble a mechanical doll.
A pair of large, calloused hands that were rough and rough, constantly fiddling with mechanical parts that were very small to him.
It looked funny, but the Archon was unusually serious, and the table in front of him was filled with tiny parts and tools.
After a moment of careful observation, Murray suddenly couldn't help but say: "You're not right, that gear can't be installed directly, you should put the leather cushion underneath first, and then install the gear, otherwise this gear can't bite together with the teeth of other gears, and it can't fit when it rotates, and the machine won't be able to operate normally." ”
Interrupted by Murray, Tyrell finally looked up, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and glanced at Murray.
Then he didn't seem to care about Murray's identity at all, but like a stubborn old man, he pointed to a pile of parts in front of him and said, "You kid is so capable, so you come?"
Murray was stunned for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and reached out to take the half-loaded parts from the Archon's hand.
Tyrrell didn't hesitate, he handed the parts directly to the boy, and then watched the boy remove the gear from the installation, reached out and touched a small cushion on the table to install it first, and then put the removed gear on it.
I lifted it up and looked at it carefully, and finally carefully buckled the gears into the grooves of the teeth of many of the gears.
However, Murray is limited in height after all, and the parts are densely packed on the enlarged tabletop, and many parts are obviously difficult for him to touch.
Seeing this, Tyrrell stood up and said, "Come here, sit here and assemble slowly." ”
Seeing that Tyrell got up to give up his position, Murray was not polite, and walked over and jumped into the Archon's wide chair.
Because of his lack of height, Murray did not sit down, but stood on a chair to carefully observe all the parts on the table.
After looking at it for a long time, I looked at all the parts on the table, compared the half-assembled parts in my hand, and then began to move rapidly.
Tyrrell stood next to him, watching in amazement as the young man in front of him made a "quick and accurate move", and in the blink of an eye, he assembled half of the complex mechanical doll.
You know, this mechanical doll Tyrell has been busy for days, and it is only a little bit before it is assembled.
But now, almost in the blink of an eye, Murray has assembled most of the parts, and the internal skeleton of the mechanical doll is almost complete.
But just as Tyrell was about to praise him, he saw that Mori suddenly dismantled the assembled mechanical parts.
Seeing this, Tyrell was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late, and he could only watch as most of the assembled machinery was dismantled.
Then Murray began to assemble again, this time again very quickly, and this time without stopping, spending the whole morning just in time to assemble all the parts when the midday bell rang outside the window.
"Whew" Murray breathed a long sigh of relief, and Murray stood up and turned to look at the archon with a smile: "It's finally lived up to expectations, it's done." ”
Tyrell took two steps forward in surprise and reached out and pressed his hand on the mechanical doll's head.
The mechanical doll seemed to gain momentum all of a sudden, and began to move on its own on the large desk.
Walking back and forth, he can also wave his arms, and the "babbling" in his mouth makes a muffled sound like a children's rhyme.
Tyrell was shocked to see this, knowing that this mechanical doll had not been like this before.
In the past, mechanical dolls needed to be wound, and there was no way to make so many tedious movements.
Turning his head to look at the boy again, and seeing the confident smile on the boy's face, Tyrell then asked in a deep voice, "Can you really fix the differential machine?"
Murray nodded: "Of course, the difference machine is just a kind of machine, as long as it is a machine, I can fix it." ”
Tyrrell hesitated, then asked, "But did you know that anyone who repairs a differential machine without permission will be punished by the Empire? ”
Murray smiled slyly and said, "Grandpa, as long as you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?"
With a frown, Tyrrell then asked, "So, what do you want to get paid for repairing the difference machine?"
Hearing Tyrell's question, Murray rubbed his hands together and replied with some embarrassment, "I, I thought, can you recommend me to the Royal Academy?"
"Recommend you to go to the Royal Academy?" Tyrell was taken aback by hearing such a request.
After carefully looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "You shouldn't just be from the East, right?
It didn't surprise Murray that the identity was seen by the consul, and at the moment when the two first met, through the consul's shocked expression, it was possible to guess that the consul was likely to recognize his identity as a "dragon countryman".
Murray didn't hide anything anymore, and replied bluntly: "Yes, I'm from the Dragon Country, but I'm not here for war, I just want to see our lost dragon, and I heard that the dragon is in the Royal Academy." ”
Hearing this, Tyrell couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hehehe, I can't imagine that you dragon people are really persevering." ”
Immediately afterward, Tyrell continued, "I can tell you the truth that the reason why I need to find someone to repair that differential machine in private is because there are very important things written on that differential machine, and those things must not be known to the Empire, and it can even be said that those things cannot be known by anyone, otherwise the entire Steel Capital, including the entire Viscount of Lane, may not be protected. ”
Murray was shocked after hearing this, he guessed many possibilities, but never thought it would be so serious.
When I first stole the information in the differential machine, I didn't seem to find that there was such an important information in it?
Is it that I didn't check it carefully enough, or is it that after the damage, there is still a message that has been entered into the differential machine?
Unconsciously lost in thought, until Tyrell spoke again, "I can let you go to repairs, and I can promise to recommend you to the Royal Academy, but I must warn you that if you are in any danger, don't expect me to help you." ”
This decision made Murray hesitate, he came to repair the differential machine just to get more information, but he didn't expect it to seem to be involved in something more terrible?
After thinking for a long time, he finally turned his head to look at the consul, and nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
