"Heh......

Looking at the gradually tilting sun, the middle-aged man's eyes were indifferent, and then he planned to go to the appointment.

He wasn't needed for the setup now, as long as he showed up when he was supposed to appear.

But just as he was stepping on his legs, there was a slight tremor in his arms.

Feeling the emotions of the Gospels, trying to stop me?

Why is it stopping me?

The middle-aged man pursed his lips tightly, and his gaze seemed to be even more indifferent.

No one could stop him from meeting his family!

……

It was getting late, and the golden sun gradually put away a wisp of floating light and slowly sank into the sunset.

In the middle of a courtyard, a man covered in oil was working up and down the yard.

He kept taking some parts from the side and inserting them inside.

From time to time, they compare with one drawing after another, and then take out something from what is in front of them and insert it in other places.

Inside the courtyard, there is the presence of another person.

She watched the man's movements, her gaze sweeping from time to time from the setting sun in the sky.

Previously, Curty had already investigated his identity.

He is a maverick in the family of His Royal Highness's mother.

Hardly anyone was treated to him.

Because his philosophy is not the same as the normal warlock's concept of pursuing extreme power.

He was a great admirer of machines, and even openly joined a cult that believed in the god of steam.

The god of steam is a god that the workers don't know where to make it up.

And to say that He is the origin of steam, because of Him, there are these machines that can run on their own.

However, this god of steam has not been recognized by the world, and only some people who come into contact with machines will have faith.

And because of the sensitivity of the queen's identity, there is no room for people from the Order in the family.

It doesn't matter which order it is.

But the others are still their own clansmen, so this person was just expelled from the family.

However, he was given a house and a few possessions.

lest he starve to death because of his over-indulgence in machinery.

A real eccentric, so to speak.

"It's done, it's done."

"Because the drawings are so precise, I don't have the tools I can polish here, so I just made two simple versions of the dolls."

"But if you only use it for a short time, there won't be any problems."

"Lite?"

Coty was a little impatient, and she waited for this all afternoon?

"Yes, but I said that it doesn't affect the use, that is, the service life will be shorter."

"The main reason is that the requirements for some parts don't seem to be something that can be made with current technology."

"This man really ......."

"It's like the messenger of the god of steam on earth."

"I can't judge him, it only highlights my ignorance."

His face was exaggerated, and his eyes were full of admiration.

The more you go into this drawing, the more you can understand the gold content of this drawing.

Knowing its significance for this era is almost a forced elevation of the current technological height. ….

And more importantly, it's not a lie, it's something that exists.

"Can I ...... Do you want to pay a look at the person who wrote this drawing?"

He said with some whirlwind, worried about whether he would offend that being, but the impulse in his heart was already like a flood, and it was out of control.

"There will be time later."

Curty glanced at him, thinking about His Highness's daily behavior.

For all kinds of talents, they are hands-on, and they regard each other as the same as themselves when they talk

and so on.

In the face of this talent designated by His Royal Highness, it is natural that he will meet with him.

"I'll take the stuff first, the blueprints...... I took it too."

Looking at his reluctant look, Curty could empathize.

But she still relented and pulled it out of her hands.

After all, this is something that Her Royal Highness the Princess has worked hard to write, and if it spreads......

Curty looked at him and threatened him not to move, then looked at the two motionless puppets and took them away.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt as if she was an irresponsible scumbag after enjoying it.

Curty felt a little embarrassed, so she could only leave a little comfort.

"If Your Highness agrees, this knowledge will be seen again later."

"No need to make such a gesture."

Then his figure flashed and disappeared mercilessly into the courtyard sprinkled by the slanting sun.

A man stood there as if he had lost his soul.

……

"Your Highness, I'm back."

Curty knocked lightly on the door, then gently pushed it open with permission.

"Did you get the things back?"

"I got it back, but ......."

"It's just that the person said that because of the tool technology, he had to make a simple version ......."

Curty took things out, and they were two faceless dolls.

Christine looked at the familiar thing and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

With limited conditions, it's amazing to be able to make these things.

It's worthy of being called a ghost hand in the previous life.。

Speaking of which, the man can still have a little kinship with himself, but he was expelled from the family later.

Otherwise, you have to call your uncle when you can't meet.

Christine smiled and shook her head, then placed her hand on top of the doll's head.

It was only a moment later, and there was no strange movement where the white hand touched the puppet.

Christine's face froze, and she suddenly realized that she was no longer a warlock.

She felt some heat on her face.

Gently touched the top of the puppet's somewhat rough head, and then exclaimed.

"It's been a good time."

"Curty, you're going to try this."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Curty didn't seem to notice the embarrassment of Her Royal Highness, and just followed her instructions and poured the mystery factor into the doll.

Soon, the face made of slime slime changed to an unfamiliar face.

Then the puppet's eyes moved, turning from side to side.

After that, there are the arms, the torso, and the thighs.

One by one, the joints begin to move. ….

In just a moment, a woman who was no different from a normal person stood in front of Christine.

That's it......

Christine had a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

In the previous life, dolls were at least a common thing, not to mention bad streets.

Most of the work can even be replaced by it.

After the mystery disappeared completely, it was said that the glorious age of electricity and steam had arrived.

As a result, various dolls have become more common.

Dolls with different functions have been developed and can be used in battle without even being controlled by humans.

But then Christine doesn't know.

After all, she had died in an unknown cave at that time, and what became of her in the afterlife had nothing to do with her.

But it should be relevant now.

After all, her desire is no longer limited to protecting herself and her family.

If you have the chance......

She also wants to explore the unknown truth of the world

True.

There are too many mysteries left in the future.

Kristen took a deep breath and pulled her thoughts back to the moment.

Restore yourself as a warlock first, otherwise you will always be just a mortal.

"Do you feel any discomfort?"

The doll used by Curty in front of him is one of the most common models in later generations.

At first, it served mystical sorcerers, and then circulated among ordinary people.

The biggest feature is stability and simplicity.

Even with today's rudimentary tooling technology, some parts can be manufactured.

If you choose to use it as a stand-in, you can't get bonuses based on your own strength, but even ordinary people can control it.

It is enough to use it as a stand-in for yourself temporarily.

"No, but I feel that this puppet's strength may be a little weak, and it can't protect Her Royal Highness."

"Who said it was used to protect me?"

Christine smiled.

"It's just a one-time item, so let's use this on the black market."

"As long as you cover it with treasures, no one else can see it."

"I see, Your Highness."

Christine looked at Curty, who was still looking at herself, and couldn't help but laugh a little secretly.

Speaking of which, how do I feel more and more like that person's style?

I still remember that person had a lot of dolls in stock, and when something happened, the puppets explored the way first, and then carried out long-range bombing.

wasted his strength.

Obviously very strong, but he hides himself too much.

Sometimes you can't tell if you're talking to a puppet or to yourself.

Every time she thought about it, Kristen didn't know what he was afraid of.

She sighed softly, and said that she herself was quite frightened now.

Especially when the future becomes a mess, and I don't know anything about it, so I act according to the original plan.

Can you really protect your family?

Christine couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in her heart.

Because the current plot is running towards the unknown path, all she can do is use her knowledge from the previous life to try to control and balance it.

Try to make it less bad before you grow up. ….

As for what's next......

Christine looked determined, then pressed her hand on the top of the other doll's head.

"Ahem......

"Curty come over and help me......

……

Slum.

The sun on the horizon was almost half-exposed, and wisps of light shone in the sky, spilling through the clouds on the jagged rooftops, dyeing them a dull red.

A biting cold wind began to blow in the unpopulated streets, and a lonely figure sat quietly on a bench.

It is an abandoned park with countless dead grasses that break in the wind.

The bench beneath him was almost rotten, with faint signs of breakage.

Alyssa, who came in the glow, was slightly stunned, and then walked behind the man indifferently.

The middle-aged man who was meditating seemed to feel something and turned around.

What I saw was just an ordinary girl.

However, this is not the original appearance, and it is obvious that it has changed its appearance.

And middle-aged men won't believe that this is an ordinary girl.

"I heard you were going to see me, so I came."

The middle-aged man gave a gentle smile that was very deceptive.

"To be honest, I thought you wouldn't come."

"If you need anything, I'll do what I can to help you."

"Please let me meet my family, I haven't seen them in a long time, I hope you can understand me

anxious mood."

At this, his face became very sad.

It's hard to tell whether this is acting or true feelings.

However, Alyssa was not emotional.

She just stared at the middle-aged man indifferently, and in him, Alyssa didn't see any emotion.

But this is not possible, because as long as there is such an emotion, there must be an emotion.

"I can hand those two over to you."

Alyssa said calmly, her voice was also ordinary, with no features.

"But I need to see something first."

The middle-aged man's eyes were different, and this gesture was really trying to make a deal.

"I know, but I need to make sure they're safe too."

Alyssa doesn't talk nonsense, but directly shows a picture.

The background has been manipulated, and in the center of the picture are the mother and daughter.

The middle-aged man saw that they were well dressed, and although their faces were pale, there was also a hint of ruddy.

Under the shock of not seeing each other for a long time, I couldn't help but reveal my thoughts in my heart.

"Noah...... Dana ......"

He couldn't help but call out the names of mother and daughter.

Even if a middle-aged man knows that he is showing such a strong need at the moment, he will inevitably fall into a disadvantage in the negotiation.

But his own family is in front of him, how can he not be excited.

Alyssa's expression moved slightly, because she saw a trace of emotion overflowing from this man's body.

But then it disappeared immediately, as if swallowed by something.

Seeing this familiar scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze slowly fell into the arms of the middle-aged man.

"Tell me what you want!"

The middle-aged man's voice choked slightly, and he said almost hideously.

At the moment, he had spent a lot of effort on the plan, and the Order that he had worked so hard to build.

All of them were left behind by him, and only his own family was the most important.

"The thing in your arms."

This sentence directly saved the middle-aged man's sanity back some.

After all, the Gospels are about their own plans.

And why believe that she will give people to herself.

"Why ...... You?"

Just when the middle-aged man was about to question, Alyssa's figure suddenly changed.

It turned out to be a shadow over it.

Seeing this familiar scene, the middle-aged man almost felt cold.

Because at the moment, she feels too similar to the person behind the scenes.

But the next moment of the picture once again shattered his reason.

Seeing that the person she had dreamed of appeared in the shadows, she closed her eyes tightly, apparently unconscious.

"This is your wife......

"Yes, yes......"

The middle-aged man stammered in reply.

So is his plan going to continue?

The answer, of course, is self-evident.

To hell with any plan, what a gospel, anything!

It's all for your family.
