Bordeaux estate, Chamber of Commerce Secret Meeting Hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The large conference room was full of people at the moment, but under the radiation of the ice cubes filled with several hollow copper pillars, it maintained a rare refreshment on this midsummer day, and around the huge obsidian stone table, the gentlemen in leather shoes talked in low voices, and from time to time looked at the little man sitting in the third seat of the chairman, he was wearing a complex but extremely solemn black and white dress, his gray hair was neatly combed back to his head, and a pair of large eyes that did not match the proportion of his head with thick lenses carefully observed the drawings placed on the stone table。

This little man had quick hands and feet, but he was half as short as an ordinary person, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were only four moving fingers, but they were incredibly nimble, and this was a dwarf! an engineer from the southern hills.

Jove-Steel Bolt, a famous engineering scholar in the entire northern Xinjiang, is also a master craftsman from the dwarf city of Regenmore, a permanent member of the Great Craftsman Council, and one of the few alien masters who dare to live in the human world.

But at this moment, the master craftsman's eyes showed a color of intoxication, his little fingers swiped inch by inch over the precise drawings, and his mouth continued to let out exclamations, and the president of the Podol Chamber of Commerce, who was standing beside him, Pars's father, Vince Bordeaux, asked respectfully,

"Master Jove, look at this scroll of drawings..."

"Shh

The old dwarf turned around, stretched out his finger in front of his mouth, gestured in a quiet posture, and then continued to look at the drawings regardless of it, this posture made Vince feel a little uncomfortable, but thinking of the benefits that this drawing could bring to himself, as well as the identity of the master in front of him, he forced down the slightest discomfort, and continued to respectfully wait for the master's conclusion.

"Whew..."

After a few minutes, Joff let out a sigh of relief, he took the handkerchief handed by the dwarf apprentice behind him, wiped the sweat on his face, and then took the cold tea and drank it down, and then said to Vince, who was full of anticipation,

"I don't know where you got this drawing, but I must say it's a masterpiece! It's a masterpiece, even at the Craftsman's Council in Regenmore! It contains a lot of the simplest and most efficient mechanical impulse ideas, and more importantly, its structure has been simplified to the extreme, so that even apprentices with only a little engineering knowledge can easily operate it! And it can ensure that when there is a problem, it can be eliminated and solved almost immediately, very good things, you have found a treasure!"

Vince was a little surprised to hear such a high evaluation of this master engineer known for his poisonous tongue, and he stammered and asked,

"Really... Really?"

However, Jov frowned, he thought about it, probably organizing the language, after all, the dwarf language is full of all kinds of mechanical names related to engineering, and it is very difficult to convert them into human language, but after half a minute, Jof gave up this idea, and he said directly,

"In terms of the contents of this drawing, it is nothing more than a purification device, which has actually been invented and popularized in Regenmore. ”

This sentence made Vince's heart fall suddenly, and it has become popular? That is to say, this set of drawings is completely meaningless!

"But..."

Jove's turn immediately attracted Vince's attention, and when he looked up, he saw Joff's face full of fascination stroking the drawings in front of him,

"That kind of universal equipment can only be used by dwarf pharmacists, and without Regenmore's power supply, those things become a mass of scrap metal, useless, so I say that this drawing is a master's work, it perfectly uses the concept of mechanical transmission, based on the three laws of mechanics, cleverly converts human power into high-speed centripetal force, and at the same time ensures that this centripetal force is completely controllable, and most importantly, I can't see any flaws in this scroll of drawings, perfect like a mature work that has been tempered for thousands of years, you knowIf this novel idea of mechanical transmission and mechanical construction were brought to Regenmoore, a small industrial revolution could be set off almost immediately!"

Master Jov paused and continued,

"This is the most important thing about this drawing, it provides a new concept for Regenmore, the electrical energy that His Highness Gar Shining Gold has discovered and given us is not a panacea, when necessary, we also need to pay attention to the combination of energy provided by human power or other sources, and you look at the units used in these drawings and the requirements for the parts, they must be exactly the same, they must be able to be swapped and assembled at will if necessary, and it even proposes the concept of modular production, you must know that this advanced engineering theory even in Regenmore does not have too many craftsmen who can understand it thoroughly, this drawing is definitely from the hand of a real master。 ”

Vince was shocked again, although he couldn't understand the explanation of the dwarf master in front of him like a book from heaven, but at least he definitely understood one thing, that is, he had picked up the treasure!

But when he saw the dwarf master's hand constantly scratching the drawing, the shrewd president almost immediately said,

"Master Jove, it's not much use to keep this scroll with us, in fact, if you can copy this drawing for us, you can take this manuscript with you!"

"Really? Can I?"

Hearing this, Jov almost jumped up from the ground, and although it was a question, his hands clung to the drawing, showing the determination of the master.

"Well, you can fully trust the sincerity of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce!"

Vince smiled slightly, but his heart was already happy.

"Click"

The soft sound of the key alarmed Wendy, who had just fallen asleep, and she got up from the broken bedding in some panic, holding a dirty short dagger tightly in both hands, and she desperately squeezed her thin body into the darkness, her scarred arms trembling helplessly.

She was afraid, afraid that the next beating would follow, and even though she had fled from that ghost place, the painful memories still hovered in Wendy's mind, screaming, yelling, scolding, and abusing her, and the first twelve years of her life were almost all these dark memories, she didn't remember her father, she didn't remember her mother, she only remembered crying again and again because she was hungry, crying because she was beaten, crying because she was going to be sold.

It wasn't until she found the dagger from outside the jungle and stabbed it into the neck of the fat man who wanted to press it on top of her, that from that time on, the blood-stained hand appeared in her dreams again and again, until now.

"Smack"

The door of the shop, which had been closed for almost a year, was pushed open, and the long-lost sunlight poured in, and the flying dust fluttered in the sunlight, reminding Wendy of a long memory, which was once a pure white manor, where chirping little girls ran on the grass, chasing colorful butterflies.

"Wendy, Wendy, come here!"

A gentle voice called, and even though she had never met, the little girl with a dirty face knew that it was her mother, a gentle, nostalgic voice.

But the emaciated body, which had not eaten for three days, obviously could not bear this deep memory, so when the two voices, one tall and one short, blocked the sunlight and walked in step by step, Wendy could no longer bear the pressure, and as soon as her hands were loosened, the dagger fell to the ground, and she herself lay there weakly.

"Dangchang"

The crisp sound of the collision immediately caught the attention of Khufu and Elivan, who looked into the dark corner of the wall and found a black thing lying there,

"Hey, what's that? a special welcome in the city of Bordeaux? Khufu!"

Eleven, who had changed into a well-fitting little gentleman's dress and was holding a black cane, pointed to the wriggling black object and looked at the chief of the guard beside him with a smile.

Khufu was also a little embarrassed, and the bold mercenary kicked the object with his foot, resulting in a faint cry for help,

"Help... Save... Life.. ”

"Oh, got it. ”

Khufu put down the hilt of the sword that he had been holding in his left hand, tilted his head and said to Elivan,

"That's just little beggars, there are a lot of such ghosts in the old town, when you are not looking, they will touch your wallet, or take a valuable thing from you, and take it to the black corner for some change to buy something to eat, but they will also end up miserable, either driven by the gangsters to die, or starve to death in an unknown corner, as they are now"

Khufu said it easily, but the question is where has Elivan seen such miserable peers, in his previous life, even if he was a bastard, there were orphanages in the city to shelter these little beggars, and if he dared to hurt them at will, soon there would be a police uncle to find you for tea and talk, even in the days of Sam City, there were a large number of guards arranged around Mogedin Manor at any time, where could there be little beggars to escape there.

So when he saw the emaciated Wendy, his little conscience began to ache faintly,

"Forget it, Khufu, go find a grandmother to take care of her, and by the way, find some workers, and I'm going to renovate this hellish place. ”

After speaking, he turned around, looked up at the entire storefront, and then said his evaluation,

"Vulgar... It's so vulgar. It's not special at all, so it's no wonder this magic supply store can't be opened..."

And Khufu scratched his pale and shiny skull, and rubbed it over and over again and said to Eleven,

"Master Eleven, with all due respect, don't look at her very pitiful now, but after you saved her, I can't tell when you will lose one or two of your rare things, so my opinion is that if you throw her outside, someone will come and carry her away in a while. ”

"Huh?"

Elivan twisted his head and looked at Khufu curiously, then looked at the little beggar who was no longer moving, and after thinking about it, he walked up to the little beggar, squatted down, and lifted her head with his hand, only to see Wendy's little face full of mud and other things, and immediately felt sick to his stomach, but Elevenn still endured the discomfort and patted Wendy's cheek with his other hand,

"Hey, are you dead?"

Wendy, who had fallen into a semi-comatose state, was woken up by this blow, and she opened her eyes, and saw Eleven's always smiling little face, and those eyes as bright as the starry sky,

"Are you an angel?"

Wendy asked, walteringly,

Elivan was silent, and after a moment he grinned,

"Yes, I am. ”

Seeing Wendy smile with difficulty, then rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground, Elavin shrugged her shoulders, stood up, clapped her palms, and said to Khufu,

"Two teams of workers, a grandmother who takes care of her, and... Well.. Come to think of it, by the way, help me bring that set of alchemy tools and medicinal herbs. ”

Khufu answered, seeing that he couldn't convince Elivan, so he could only do as he said, but when he just walked to the door, he was stopped by Eliven,

"Oh, I almost forgot, to give you this!"

Saying that, Elivan threw over a small bottle sealed with a wooden stopper, which contained the three "potions" that Elivan had made out at that time, but during the journey, he used alchemy to process the highly concentrated essence of medicinal herbs several times, and finally made this new potion with a slightly dull red color, and the name given by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws was "Improved Intermediate Life Potion", but what its effect was, Elivan didn't know what it was, but at least it was definitely much better than the primary life potion made casually.

"It's a life-saving thing, so keep it safe. ”

After saying that, he walked up the stairs with his hands behind his back, wanting to observe the situation on the second floor, but Khufu grinned, carefully put the conical vial into the backpack he carried with him, and whistled.

"Ha, Master Elivan, a kind person like you will always be rewarded!"

Saying this, the unscrupulous mercenary leader opened the door with a smile and walked out.

A few minutes later, Eliven, who was holding a piece of bread and a glass of milk, sneaked down from the second floor, he looked left and right, and after finding that there was really no one, he walked quickly to Wendy, slapped her awake with his hand, and then put the bread and milk in front of her like feeding a kitten, and touched her head, which he took from the table when he left the Bordeaux estate in the morning, but this was also because Old Hall was in charge and gave him a miniature space ring, otherwise he would never have brought these useless things on his body.

"Eat, eat, eat..."

Elivan looked at Wendy, who was munching and drinking with his head down, and sobbing from time to time, the little conscience left in his heart finally calmed down, so he let out a sigh of relief, regardless of the dust on the ground, sat opposite Wendy, and took out the notebook of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the Titan magic system has long been reproduced, but the real learning has just begun.

Under the sunlight outside the window, two small figures were printed on the ground, silent to each other, but as if eternal.
