Chapter 0817: Stigmata
"So your name is Jenny, the craftsman's daughter......"
After a few words of conversation, Sulu took off his hat: "So...... It's time for me to take my leave. ”
"No, please wait, Mr. Turing!"
Jenny hurriedly said, "That kind of monster...... How much? And also...... Extraordinary of the Church, I mean...... Supernatural power, what is it? ”
"You're curious about them?"
Sulu stopped, his eyes playful.
Jenny took a deep breath: "Yes, I'm very curious about all the unknown! ”
"Anomalous things, that is, monsters and some mysterious items, do exist in this world, and human beings, who have extraordinary powers, call them 'saints'...... 'saints' are marked by stigmata, and the main routes are 'cats', 'eagles', 'wolves', 'griffins', 'spiders', and so on......"
Su Lu smiled and said to Jenny, "You must want to ask how you can obtain extraordinary power, it is obviously in the hands of other great forces...... Each faction has a different path, for example, the Free City-State Alliance is famous for its 'Spider Stigmata', while the local Church of Nature is good at 'Griffon Stigmata' and 'Cat Stigmata'...... And in some cults, there are some very strange stigmata routes handed down, and I don't recommend you try that ......"
Although she didn't understand it, Jenny struggled to memorize every word Sulu said.
Finally, she looked at Sulu and asked excitedly, "You...... Is it also transcendent? ”
"Sort of......
Sulu gave a very confused answer, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at his departing back, Jenny exhaled silently, feeling that her goal had changed a little.
'Perhaps, while becoming a great craftsman, I can also try to be a transcendent?' The two are not in conflict...... Stigmata, what the hell is it, and how can you get it? ’
……
Jenny sneaks home and is relieved to find that everything is as usual.
As for a friend's date, you can only miss the appointment.
Months have passed.
What happened that night seemed to be suppressed, and there was not the slightest rumor that came out, and no one came to the door, which made Jenny secretly relieved.
In the blink of an eye, it's September.
On this day, at dinner, Wick and Mrs. Helia solemnly called Jenny to them: "Daughter...... Recently, the Sealand City Mechanical Institute is recruiting students, and we have signed you up. ”
"What?"
Jenny was a little surprised, of course she had heard of this college and respected it very much, but the tuition fee was quite high: "The tuition fee is ......"
"You don't have to worry about this, Daddy still has this little savings."
Will took a sip of beer: "The academy not only teaches mechanical knowledge, but also vocabulary cram school, and after three years of study, you can get a good job......"
"Daddy......"
Jenny's eyes were a little moist.
……
Sealand Mechanical University.
Jenny changed into new clothes and sat in the bright and spacious classroom with her classmates, waiting for the first class to begin.
Squeak.
The classroom door was pushed open, and a gentleman in a tuxedo walked in.
He was very young, he looked only in his twenties, and his eyes were deep: "Students, I will be your mechanics teacher...... You can call me ...... Turing! ”
Below, Jenny had covered her mouth.
She never imagined that Mr. Turing, who saved her that night, would become her teacher.
Sulu didn't seem to care about her, his eyes swept around, and he began to lecture in a loud voice:
"Mechanical...... Full of charm, it can bring a huge amount of power – the steam engine! It is also possible to provide us with support for calculations, such as differential machines...... You are all my students, and I hope you will go further on the road of machinery. Below...... Let me introduce you to a simple steam engine that provides the humble power to carry water from a coal mine...... If, I mean if...... Whoever among you can perfect it will have access to everything in the world! ”
As he spoke, Sulu laid out a crude model of a steam engine.
The class went on quickly, and every student took notes attentively.
Although Jenny was attracted by the steam engine, after class, she gritted her teeth and quickly caught up with Turing: "Teacher......"
"Lucky little girl...... We're meeting for the second time, right? ”
Sulu smiled.
"Yes, I got you."
Jenny's cheeks were flushed and she was panting, she glanced around, and quickly lowered her voice: "Can you teach me anything else?" ”
"About the transcendent stigmata? No......"
Sulu shook his head: "It's a mechanical question, you are welcome to ask me at any time." ”
When Jenny saw this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
……
Winter.
The cold wind was blowing, and there was light snow in the sky.
Faculty of Mechanics, faculty dormitory.
"Teacher ......"
Jenny knocked on the door and saw Sulu opening the door: "As for the proposal for the new steam engine last time, I have already designed a sketch, but there are still a few small questions......"
"Well, come in."
Sulu glanced at her and nodded.
Jenny immediately flashed into the house and crouched by the fireplace where the wood was burning.
"I'm going to make a correction."
Sulu went with her, taking the homework Jenny had brought, and sat down at the desk, ready to revise.
Jenny's gaze flickered and landed on the bookshelf in the study.
Although the teacher never taught her extraordinary knowledge, he did not forbid her to look at the books in the study.
In this way, Jenny already has some knowledge of that mysterious world.
Although, in order to get the opportunity, they are also racking their brains to design a new steam engine in order to make an excuse to visit.
She came to the edge of the bookcase, and with great familiarity, pulled out a copy of "Secret Words of Nature" and began to read.
“…… The Cat's Stigmata, which is mainly light, and the first Stigmata provides an agility bonus, known to the outside world as 'Cat's Elegance', giving the Saint excellent balance and amazing speed......"
After the pages, there is also a sketch of the first stigmata, which looks like an abstract black cat.
"The second stigmata, called 'Swift Claw', allows the saint to mutate his hands and gain amazing lethality......"
The stigmata illustration at the back is a pair of cat's claws, which just matches the previous black cat stigma.
"All stigmata need to be added with potions or rituals, starting with the 'Grace of the Cat' potion and ending with the 'Claw of Rapid Attack' potion, all in the hands of the Holy See of Nature...... It's almost impossible for outsiders to obtain. And all the stigmata, in the later stages, will be combined into a real Warcraft? Is it also the beginning of a qualitative change in the strength of the 'saints'? ”
Jenny secretly scolded herself as she put down the book, trying to find a first-order potion recipe.
"Ahem!"
At this time, Sulu's cough suddenly sounded: "Jenny." ”
"Teacher......" Jenny reluctantly returned to her desk and listened to Sulu evaluate her design.
