"Long time no see, Misty Fragrance. ”

"Long time no see, Reilly. The two behind you are Joshua and Estelle, right?"

"Huh?"

"You know we're coming?"

Joshua and Estelle looked puzzled.

"Jia En from the Lu'an branch has already contacted me. A girl with chestnut hair in a double ponytail, and a dark-haired boy with amber eyes...... That's you. Kirika looked at Joshua and Estelle and said.

"That's ...... so"

"My name is Kirika, and I'm the head of the Chase branch. Thank you for your continued care. ”

Estil: "Well, each other. ”

Joshua: "Please advise." ”

"It's a bit of a rush, let's go through the transfer procedures first. Kirika took out two documents and said, "Please sign this." ”

"Well, okay. ”

So, Joshua and Estelle signed the transfer papers.

"In this way, you will become guerrillas belonging to the Chase branch. Kirika nodded and said, "But there is no important task yet, so you can act at your own pace." ”

"That's right...... By the way, I have one thing I want to ask Sister Wuxiang......"

"It's Mr. Cassius's business. ”

"Huh?!" Astelle asked in surprise, "Is that what Brother Garn told you?"

"I've probably heard of it. Kirika nodded and said, "But unfortunately, Mr. Cassius hasn't been to Chase for a few months. ”

"Ah, yes......" Although she was mentally prepared, Estelle was still disappointed.

"Then, all that remains is the royal capital. Reilly thought for a moment and said, "But it's also possible that it's a foreign ......."

"On the other matter, I have a clue on my side. Kirika took out a letter and said, "Take it." ”

"This is ......"

"A letter of introduction to the head of the Workshop of Maddock. Kirika said, "In Chase, he is the equivalent of a mayor. ”

"Is it about the Black Force?" Joshua said with a solemn face.

"Since it's something that Mr. Cassius has sent back, maybe there's some clue inside. Anyway, let's talk to the workshop manager first. ”

"It's really worthy of the fog fragrance, it's so well prepared. Reilly said with a smile.

"Nothing, my job is to support you guerrillas who are fighting on the front lines. ”

"I'm sorry for you. Astelle said embarrassedly.

"Great help. Joshua said with a smile.

"Don't worry. Wuxiang waved her hand and said, "If something happens, I'm going to trouble you to rush back to work." ”

"No problem. Reilly patted his chest and said, "Just call the two of them as much as you want." ”

"yes...... Aren't you going to help, Mr. Reilly?"

"Estelle, call Joshua as much as you like. ”

"So I ended up at the bottom of the food chain?" Joshua said depressedly.

"yes~ What's wrong?"

Reilly, Kirika, and Estelle all smiled maliciously.

"No, nothing......" The hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, and Joshua decisively confessed.

After coming to the central workshop, everyone met the director of the Maddock workshop smoothly.

"Yo, I'm waiting for you. Estelle, Joshua. Maddock smiled and said, "And Mr. Reilly, long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time, and I'm going to ask you a favor this time. Reilly said with a smile.

"First meeting, Mr. Kohma. ”

"Excuse me, but I'm here to interrupt you. ”

Joshua and Estelle greeted each other politely.

"Whereever, no need to be so polite. We used to be under the guerrilla guild's attention, and we were a lot of trouble for Mr. Cassius and Mr. Reilly. Maddock said.

"Huh, does Mr. Foreman know our father?" asked Istelle, surprised.

"Haha, more than acquaintance, Mr. Cassius is still our benefactor. "This central workshop can almost be said to be the most advanced place in the mainland for conductive technology. However, the troubles caused by this are endless...... Whenever we couldn't handle a situation, we would contact the Lorente branch and ask him to come and help. In contrast, Mr. Reilly, while also reliable, is too elusive in his whereabouts......"

"Well...... Estelle was pleased to hear that her father had helped others.

"Haha, no wonder he travels a lot. Joshua said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Mr. Cassius's children to come as guests, so I must return to the friendship of landlords. ”

"Hey, hey, thank you, Mr. Workshopman. Astelle said embarrassedly.

"It's a long story...... Joshua took the black guide from his luggage and put it on the table, "It's something my father sent back, and we don't know what it's for." ”

"Hmm...... It's amazing indeed. "It's obviously a recent product, but it's ...... Why isn't the serial number engraved?"

"Serial number?" Steele blinked in confusion.

"No matter what kind of force guide it is, there will be a serial number on the housing that indicates its origin and date of manufacture. Reilly pulled out his tactical guide and said, "This is a tradition left over from when the guide was first invented. ”

"Is there really a number......" Estelle looked at Reilly's tactical detractor, then took out her own, "Mine too." ”

"Alas...... Didn't you notice it before?" Joshua said, sighing.

"Yes, I want you to be verbose!" Istelle glared at him, then said to Maddock, "Is it strange not to have a serial number?"

"It's common sense for technicians to label a product with a serial number. Maddock thought for a moment and said, "Even if it's a prototype...... In this way, it is likely that there is some secret behind this thing. ”

"Hidden secrets......" Reilly fell into deep thought. At this stage, the gospel plan is the first priority of the association, and the study of this black guide is also an important part of it. To his bewilderment, the gospel in front of him had been held by Estelle for a long time, but there was no reaction from the association.

(It's weird, what the hell is going on over there?, it looks like it's time for me to talk to them...... ）

"Well, if you want to know more about it, you'll have to investigate its inner workings......" Maddock looked at the gospel over and over again, a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" asked Joshua.

"It's weird, I can't find a place to open it. If you look closely, there is not even a gap...... How the hell is this put together?" said Maddock, embarrassed, "In that case, it will be difficult for us to investigate." ”

"How can this be...... "Estelle said disappointedly, "can't you cut the shell open?"

Maddock shook his head and said, "This is something that was given to Mr. Cassius by name, and it is a bit unreasonable to destroy it casually. ”

"This—This is also ......"

"Anyway, didn't Senior Cassius tell you to give this black force guide to Dr. R."

"Yes...... Estelle suddenly realized, and took out the note from Cassius from her luggage: "Actually, there is a note in the package sent by Dad......"

Maddock took the note and looked at it: "Commissioned Dr. R to investigate......"

"Do you have any clues about this Dr. R?" asked Joshua.

"Well...... The initials were R, and it was someone Mr. Cassius knew, which must have been Dr. Russell. Maddock said.

"Sure enough......"

"Ah, did Joshua know the man?" asked Estelle, confused.

"No, I haven't seen him. Joshua shook his head and said, "But I know he's the celebrity who introduced the Guiding Force technology to Liber." ”

"It turned out to be him. Reilly smiled and said to Istelle, "The inventor of the force guide is Dr. Epstein, and the Dr. Russell mentioned above is one of his students. Forty years ago, this gentleman brought the technology of guided force to Liber, making the country a technological powerhouse on the continent. ”

"Well, that's amazing......" said Estelle in surprise, "Daddy has such a great connection. ”

"But, give this guide to the doctor...... I'm a little worried. Maddock said worriedly, "I don't know what will happen......"

"Huh?" Estelle was a little confused.

"The stronger a scholar is, the more destructive he is. Reilly said playfully, "Looking at the entire continent, Dr. Russell is also a first-class scholar, so ...... You get the idea!"

"Who's to say it wasn't, when the guide airship was first developed......" Maddock was instantly plunged into dark memories.

Estelle (whispering): "W-What kind of rhythm is this......"

Joshua (whispering): "Looks like a lot has happened......"

"Ahem, it's rude......" Maddock cleared her throat and said, "If it's Dr. Russell, I should be able to help you figure out the true face of this power guide, and I'll help introduce you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Workshopmaster!"
