"That's my wife. We were all young and high-spirited, and we thought that no difficulty in the world could stump us...... Until death suddenly separates us. ”

When old Mr. Philip stood beside Grandin, his face full of nostalgia and sorrow.

"I'm sorry."

Grandin apologized.

"Haha, at my age, I've already seen it. Do you want coffee or tea? ”

Philip asked open-mindedly.

Thinking of patrolling at night, Grandin did not hesitate:

"Coffee, thank you."

Philip turned his head back to Lorotta.

"Me too."

Lorota was watching with interest the massive mechanisms that spread throughout the house. It makes you feel like you're in the body of a mechanical giant.

"Well, three cups of coffee...... After the puppy moved in, I fell in love with the drink. Philip muttered, twisting a few buttons on a strange control panel in the living room, then tugging at the drawstring again.

The huge mechanical device in the room turned, and the sound of the steam cylinder bearings turning could be heard intermittently.

"Would you like to see any other photos? Look at this one, at that time there was no subway running through both sides of the river in Beckland, and there were so many people on the bridge that we had to cross the river by ferry. And this one, I won the award at the time, but she smiled happier than me......"

The old gentleman began to tell them the stories behind the old photos.

Grandin kind of understood why old Mr. Philip was reluctant to move, because there were so many memories here.

"Tick-"

Hearing the chime, old Philip stopped talking, turned and went into the kitchen.

Lorota slammed Grandin with her shoulder, and after getting his attention, she silently snorted at the corner workbench.

Following Lorrotta's line of sight, Grandin saw a strange revolver on the table, its barrel long and thick.

After a while, the old gentleman came out with three cups of coffee.

"Mr. Philip, you used to be a steam mechanic?" Grandin picked up a cup of coffee and asked casually.

"That's right, I'm a professor at Beckland's School of Mechanics. Until I retired, it was. ”

Old Philip puffed up his chest proudly.

In the Kingdom of Rune, 'Professor' is not only a title, but also a position. So a university will only have one professor in a department. But there can be a lot of associate professors, and in this case, there is always a lot of competition for 'professor' positions.

In this way, Mr. Philip had always been the strongest in the university until he retired, and he did have the qualifications to be proud of.

But the elder Philip soon turned the conversation to the photo, or rather to his wife. It seems that he is more proud of his past with his wife than his own achievements.

But Grandin did not forget the purpose of his visit, and while the old gentleman was drinking coffee, he turned the subject back with difficulty:

"Mr. Philip, deliberately damaging the houses of others, should be held liable for compensation. So it's not a good idea, and I think we should do it in other ways. ”

Grandin exhorted.

After a short period of contact, he found that Mr. Pinault was very stubborn and conceited, and that money and lust had long blinded him. This kind of person is very difficult to change.

He thought for a moment and said:

"If we can't change our neighbors, we can start with ourselves, such as sleeping more deeply."

The goddess is professional in this regard, and Grandin knows it well.

"You mean to make me take sleeping pills?"

Philip was a little dissatisfied.

"No, of course I wouldn't advise you to do that, these drugs can be harmful to your health if you take them for a long time. I also had insomnia for a while, but when I went to church and confided in the pastor about my troubles, the insomnia disappeared on its own. I think you can learn from me, but what is your faith? ”

Alas, the Church of Steam and Machines can't take care of the cultist's insomnia, and I'll have to convert him to the Goddess of the Night. I didn't expect to become a missionary before I took office.

Grandin had already begun to think about how to convert old Mr. Philip.

"I believe in the goddess of the night!" Old Philip replied without hesitation.

Looking at Grandin and Lothota with a look of surprise on their faces, he explained with a smile:

"My wife is a devout believer in the goddess, and I have been influenced by her and also believe in the goddess. And every time I go to church to pray, I always feel like my wife is still there for me. If it weren't for the Goddess who gave me strength, I would have ...... a long time ago."

The old gentleman glanced at the revolver on the workbench.

"That will be easy, Mr. Philip. I happen to be a lover of occultism and can make some amulets. Grandin said as he stared at the old gentleman earnestly.

But looking at old Philip, he didn't believe it at all.

Grandin said no more, and walked first to the workbench, where the tools were readily available. Well, it's just that the carving knife is a little too big.

But that's not a problem for Grandin.

"Do you have silver decorations, please? It doesn't need to be too big. ”

The old gentleman hesitated for a moment, but finally went back to the room and fetched a piece of silver.

It is a gear-shaped pendant.

Grandin held the pendant, and the spirit spread to the carving knife. He began to carve incantations and symbols on it in earnest.

The flat shape of the pendant made it a lot easier for him. Because the amulet is too small for the extraordinary, he is not skilled enough.

He first engraved Hermeswen praying for a good night's sleep, and then added the spiritual number and magic symbols related to the goddess.

When the last stroke fell, all the spirits were connected together, and a majestic force suddenly surged, and then quickly disappeared.

The pendant now exudes darkness and serenity.

Grandin checked it again with satisfaction:

"All right, Mr. Philip. Please wear it at all times, but don't forget to go to church and pray to the goddess. ”

The spirituality of this amulet will slowly fade and will last for about a year. However, as long as you go to church regularly, its 'shelf life' will be extended.

Old Philip took the amulet, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt a slight coolness and tranquility coming from the pendant. If he was just watching the joke just now, he couldn't help but believe it now.

Grandin didn't let him dwell on it for too long, and after doing this, he continued to ask: New

Miss Sally, next door, said that with the strange roar, the glass would also be shattered. So, that's some kind of prop you made, sir? ”

"That's right, just a gadget. If you want to see it, I can show you. ”

Grandin's actions brought the two parties closer, and after putting away the pendant, old Philip began to enthusiastically show them his invention.

He rummaged through the workbench, and when he touched the revolver, old Philip picked it up casually and threw it into the open drawer.

"Mr. Philip, is this a special revolver?"

Lorota asked, looking at the revolver with sparkling eyes.

I haven't had a lot of time to fish lately, which has led to a messy update. I didn't pay attention to the background news, and I was ashamed.
