Chapter 156: Agatha (4000)
When Luke arrives at the mechanics, Sandpaper and Kestrel are discussing the ...... of the assembled Abis Leopard in front of a pile of parts Gender.
Sandpaper turned the wrench in his hand and said, "It's a pity that these parts are only enough to assemble an Abis leopard." If we could assemble two heads, we could make them male and female, but for now we're going to pick one.
Do you have any suggestions? Hanny. ”
The kestrel was still as cold as ever, wearing a small swordsman's suit, white leggings, a thin sword at her waist, and a pair of deerskin boots on her feet. Faced with Sandpaper's inquiry, she said, "Call me Kestrels." ”
"Alright, Kestrels. But in my heart, you are Hanny...... Now let me know what you think, and then I can get to work. ”
The kestrel clasped his hands on his chest and thought about it very seriously: "These Abis leopards are alchemy puppets, and they have no gender. You can put it together on it, think so much about what? ”
Sandpaper whispered to the kestrel mysteriously, "I used to think that alchemy puppets had no gender, but since I repaired the boiling, I know that they do."
Boiling is a shy little boy who is just three years old. I'm his eldest sister now, and you're his second sister. ”
The kestrel looked at the boiling of the war machinery fixed in the corner bracket and said, "What does this have to do with the Abis leopard?" Boiling is mechanical creatures, these are just a bunch of machines. ”
Sandpaper said disapprovingly: "Boiling is also a machine before becoming a mechanical creature, how do we know that the Abis leopard we assembled will not become a mechanical creature in the future?"
As their older sister and family, we need to take care of them from the beginning. Boys must be handsome, and girls must be beautiful. ”
The kestrel shrugged and said, "Whatever, boys and girls are fine, hurry up and put them up." ”
"How can this be casually ......" Sandpaper turned his head to see Luke standing on the side, and asked, "Does the inspector have any suggestions?" ”
Luke knows that Sandpaper wants to make up for his mistakes and awaken the kestrel through family affection.
He replied, "When mechanical creatures awaken, they have their own perception of their gender. We don't have to prematurely define them, give them a choice, and time will reveal the truth. ”
Luke recognized the Abis leopard on the workbench, the one that had been pinned to the ground by a short spear at the mouth of the cellar. The lower half of its body was disconnected, and its torso was damaged in several other places in addition to puncture wounds.
Sandpaper said, "Inspector, what you said makes a lot of sense, I decided that this Abis leopard is a little girl. She has to have big eyes, long eyelashes, and a nice dress......"
Luke reluctantly stopped Sandpaper from talking about her outfit plan and asked, "Can this Abis leopard be assembled?" ”
"Absolutely. The main structure of this Abis leopard is intact, the internal damage is not large, and it should be repaired and replaced, and it can make her run in three days. ”
"Can you reverse-engineer the technology to make the Abis Leopard from within?"
"It's going to be difficult, unless the Oulu Academy gives me a full set of blueprints for the Abis Leopard." ”
I have blueprints for Abyss Leopard, use you to give me reverse development?
Children are children, and you can't have too high expectations for sandpaper, so it's better to let Clear Sky find a way to get the design drawings.
Moreover, even if there are design drawings, the high-tech alchemy machinery of the Abis Leopard cannot be manufactured in the mechanical maintenance room of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
There is still a long way to go!
"Kestrels, I've done some research on your origins these days...... Luke turned to Kestrel and said, "Your biological parents were poor peasants, and they sold you to a passing magician for three thousand Reich marks.
If you want to find them, I can bring them to meet you. ”
"No!" The kestrel that was cool just now immediately panicked: "I don't have any impression of them, I don't know how to face them, I ...... I don't know how to deal with my adoptive father.
The things that God knows these days, are terrible. ”
Sandpaper grabbed Kestrel hand: "Don't be afraid, you have me." ”
Luke could tell that Sandpaper had gained the trust of the Kestrels, whose loyalty to Jomington was wavering. It's just that the brain modification device suppresses her memory too much, and it is difficult for her to remember the past.
In order for the kestrel to get rid of Jomington completely, some technical means are needed.
Luke said to Sandpaper, "Elf Clear Sky is the magic professor of Oulu Academy, if she is willing to help, you can take the Kestrel to Oulu Academy for examination." I can help you contact Mrs. Mihir and see if Miss Sunny Sky is willing to help. ”
Sandpaper's eyes lit up and he said, "I know how to contact Miss Sunny Sky." ”
"Well, it's easier for you to get in touch with the Elf Sky than it is for me to find Lady Mihir. Now I have nothing to do, so I'll be with you to assemble this Abis leopard. If you need any accessories, you can tell me directly, and I will order it for you. ”
Luke started assembling the Abis leopard with sandpaper, and the kestrel was still a child after all, cold on the surface, and very interested in this kind of handicraft in his heart. Working and chatting, Luke learns more about these battle girls from Kestrels.
There is not much deviation from the information in hand. Including the kestrels, there are a total of three battle girls under Jomington's control, and they all receive "psychological counseling" and training under the funding of a fund called the Cross Foundation.
The mission is to protect the VIPs and assassinate.
The Cross Foundation is ostensibly a charity co-founded by the new aristocracy, whose work is to adopt orphans, invest in medical care, and provide relief to poor families...... Do everything that has to do with good deeds.
In fact, the new aristocracy wanted to fight for more power, secretly fighting against the imperial power and the organization of the Brotherhood of Blades. The Cross Foundation's use of charity as a cloak is even more deceptive, and it frequently organizes charity fund-raising parties in various places to win over the gentry and wealthy businessmen, and at the same time directly or indirectly establishes various non-profit service organizations to expand its influence.
The Kestrel Fighting Maidens are an important investment project of the Cross Foundation, which attempts to obtain the technology to mass-produce this powerful fighting power through research. You must know that the three girls of the kestrel have all shown four-star combat effectiveness after training, and if they can be mass-produced, they will definitely be able to allow the new nobles to quickly master a powerful force.
It's just that Professor Greyfali died, and the technology disappeared with his death. It's a pity that Professor Greyfary only wanted to study the Eternal Secret Art of Life at that time, if he focused on the development of the Battle Maiden, it is estimated that his power is no less than the existence of the Abyss Temple.
In conclusion, the kestrel is very important to Youumington. Somehow lost her, Jomington had no way to explain it to the Cross Foundation.
Luke spent a day helping in the mechanical maintenance room, and the restoration of the Abis Leopard was 70 percent complete. After confirming that Kestrel had no intention of returning to Jomington's side in the near future, he felt more confident in dealing with Jomington.
……
The imperial capital of the city of Shenglun.
After dark, Viscount Iscoran, who arrived by private airship, went to the palace overnight to meet the Emperor. Led by the palace attendants, he arrived at the waiting room to await His Majesty's summons.
Viscount Iscolan placed the briefcase he had brought with him on the table, drank the tea brought by the maid, and thought about how to respond for a while. The waiting room is small in space, but the décor still has the grandeur of royalty, with marble tiles on the walls and glittering with magical gold ornaments.
There is also a bookcase next to the wall, which is full of famous books and newspapers that are changed every day.
Viscount Iscoran didn't know when he would be summoned, so he asked the maid on duty here to bring him a newspaper to find out what had happened in the imperial capital recently.
Without waiting for Viscount Iscolan to finish reading a page, someone outside the door echoed: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess...... Viscount Iscoran ...... inside"
At the sound of the door opening, Viscount Iscollan immediately stood up, straightened the folds on his clothes, and hurried to the door.
He bowed to the woman who walked in: "Your Highness the Eldest Princess, Iskran of Angry Waves City greets you. ”
"Lord Viscount don't be polite......," Agatha's voice was irresistible, and she walked quickly past Viscount Iscoran, sat down on a chair, and said, "Please be seated! Father will summon you at any time, and I have many questions that you need answered. ”
The attendant who had followed Agatha brought a chair for Iscoran.
"Yes, Your Highness." After Viscount Iskoran sat down, he looked up at Agatha, "Your question must be related to what happened recently in Angry Waves, I think Detective Meteor has sent a detailed report. ”
Agatha has almost concentrated the excellent genes of the royal family in the past dynasties, and is recognized as the most beautiful princess of the Golden Shield royal family. In Iscoran's eyes, the only one who can compete with Agatha in beauty is the elven clear sky.
The same impeccable, the same unattainable.
Agatha had very beautiful and noble blond hair, and she wore a princess bun and a princess tiara. She habitually tilted her chin high, her neck looked long, and a string of white pearl necklaces could only be an embellishment for her smooth skin.
She looked confident and in control of everything, but only she knew what had happened and was happening in Raging Waves these days, and she was confused.
Everyone in the palace believed that she had led the changes in Angry Waves City, and she had inserted a nail in it. This brought her a lot of political enemies, especially the new aristocratic forces led by the cabinet chief, who had already said a lot of bad things in the court.
The two elder brothers are also a lot more estranged from themselves, as well as their father......
All Agatha could do was ...... No opinion is expressed, no recognition or denial.
Now Agatha also wanted to know what was going on in the City of Angry Waves, so when she learned that Viscount Iscoran had suddenly arrived in the city of St. Lun, she immediately came to the palace to meet the person.
"Detective Meteorite sends a report on the work of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau every day. He did a great job and exceeded my expectations of him......
But I think the report of the Secret Intelligence Bureau still has its objective one-sidedness, and as a personal participant in this series of events, I would like to hear your opinion, as well as ...... What do you think of Detective Meteorite. ”
As Agatha spoke, she saw the briefcase on the table next to her. She put her hand on it, as if she was touching the material of the bag.
Only then did Viscount Iscollan realize that he had forgotten to hold the briefcase in his hand because he was in a panic. In the face of Agatha's inquiry, he only replied first: "What about Detective Meteor's evaluation...... I can only admire Your Highness, your ability to recognize and employ people. Detective Meteor is an invincible sword, and in your hands, it has cut an irreparable rift in Raging Waves.
You put him in Raging Waves, and I have no doubt that he will dedicate the whole city to you in a few years. Then you will summon him back to the city of St. Lun......"
Agatha stopped Iscoran's temptation of herself in time.
"Viscount, I have no hope for anything that does not belong to me. Please go ahead and answer my questions...... You can also use your perspective to briefly tell me what happened in Angry Waves. ”
"Yes, Your Highness......"
Viscount Iscollan gave Agatha a brief account of what he knew and could say. Finally, he said: "This is the way the situation is now...... Councilor Ibur has been forced to break with Parliament because of the missing gold, and he can only serve you.
I don't know why Mrs. Mihir is in your service. Maybe she sees that you want to rectify the city of Angry Waves, and you want to take the opportunity to gain more voice and more influence.
If I can enter the Council of Angry Waves, with Detective Meteorite as the fulcrum, some of the palace's policies can be implemented in Angry Waves. ”
Agatha looked at Iscolan and said with a smile, "I have received all the gifts from Councilor Ibur and Mrs. Mihir. What are your choices......"
Agatha opened the buckle of the briefcase, and inside was a very thick document. But instead of taking it out to look at it, she looked at Iscoran with deep meaning.
The feeling of oppression in his eyes made Iskoran very nervous.
"Your Highness...... I have no intention of betraying the Blade Brotherhood, which was founded to protect the country and oversee the exercise of power by the Golden Shield Royalty, despite its various problems.
I know that anyone in power wants the power in their hands to be infinite. But the royal family can't help but admit that it is precisely because of the existence of the Brotherhood that the empire has always been so stable. The royal family needs to have a powerful overseer, who may limit the play of the Ming monarch, but can keep ordinary kings from doing mediocre things.
Your Highness, you are so clever that you should be able to see through the role of the Brotherhood. ”
Viscount Iscollan made his own conditions, and the rest was up to Agatha to accept it.
"My father and I have discussed more than once the Brotherhood of Blades' contribution to the Empire. The struggle between royalty and brotherhood limits the upper limit of imperial decision-making, but raises the lower limit of imperial decision-making. A brotherhood that dares to draw a sword at the court makes every emperor have to take seriously the seat under his ass.
Empires need continuity, not momentary glory.
The Brotherhood of Blades has always done very well, but times have changed...... Under the onslaught of the new aristocratic forces, can the Brotherhood of Blades still maintain its original intention? ”
