Chapter 1: The Dangerous Machine of Taladomi
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Benny, I can't believe that a year has passed so quickly. Standing on the crater, Mo Xuan looked down at Flame City with a lot of emotion.
Benedict stood beside Mo Xuan, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said in an indifferent tone: "Don't make your nostalgic comments here like an old man, you shouldn't praise that your city has doubled in size in this year." ”
Mo Xuan looked at the city at the foot of the mountain, which was more square than the square, and the streets were still straight, but the pedestrians walking on the streets did not know how much.
"The expansion of Flame City is due to you, but speaking of which, why don't you want me to give you a knighthood??? Mo Xuan's heart was full of curiosity.
It is said that a few years ago, Mo Xuan made a knighthood for people who had meritorious contributions to Flame City, of course, it was only a subsidiary title that Mo Xuan himself had, although it was not much, and the title was not big, it was more symbolic than real power, but I don't know why Benedict refused, until now Mo Xuan's heart was full of puzzlement.
Benedict was silent for a while, scratching at his hair, his clothes looking like he was talking.
Mo Xuan was amused when he saw it: "Just like you, there must be some bold words that you want to say and are afraid of laughing at people! Say it! Now it's just the two of us, will I still laugh at you!!"
Benedict took a deep breath: "My dream was to be a businessman who would attract the attention of the whole kingdom. ”
Then Benedict turned his head and glanced at Mo Xuan, his eyes were full of gratitude: "But I found out that even if no one in Mo Xuan's kingdom dares to ignore me now, my status is still not high, and some people can still despise me and still look down on me." Ever since that fight, I've vowed that I'm going to impress them as a businessman. ”
Which time Benedict was talking about, Mo Xuan knew very well in his heart, if it wasn't for Claire to appear, Mo Xuan really had no way to save Benedict, of course, Mo Xuan also believed that when the news of the victory in Flame City reached their ears, those big and small nobles would definitely send Benedict out obediently, but it was too late at that time.
Mo Xuan wordlessly patted Benedict on the shoulder.
This kind of silent encouragement warmed Benedict's heart, saying that Mo Xuan supported him as a businessman at the beginning, and without Mo Xuan's support, he would now be just a junior apprentice who receives others.
At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind them: "Hey, my esteemed lord, don't you know that time is money! As a master inventor, my time is very precious, if it weren't for the purpose of introducing you to my latest invention, I wouldn't have come out of my laboratory, please hurry up, hurry, don't be like a drunken dwarf." The two looked back and saw that it was the goblin Taradormi.
Just as Mo Xuan and Benedict were smiling bitterly at the sharp voice, a deep and loud voice roared: "You damn green-skinned dwarf, you dare to insult a dwarf, I want to duel with you." Listening to the familiar sound of the quarrel, Mo Xuan knew that this must be Lu Sien.
Taradormi's wrinkled pointed face showed a look of disgust: "I won't duel with a sloppy and dirty bearded man!"
Lu Sien's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, his face was red, and he rolled up his sleeves: "Damn, 10,000 years, you won't take a bath, dirty green skin, who are you talking about!"
"Go away, you scruffy ······. ”
"You ······. ”
"Alright! alright. Seeing that the two of them started an endless war again, Mo Xuan had no choice but to hurry to separate them, if the two of them continued to quarrel like this, he didn't know when it would be over.
After separating the two, Mo Xuan hurriedly said, "Don't you have a work for me to see?"
"By the way, Honorable Lord, you should take a look at Taladomi's hard work over the past year, and I promise you with my reputation that this time will definitely surprise you!" Taladomi said confidently.
Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but pout, I don't know how many times this sentence has been said in this year, every time it makes people frightened, but I don't know where the joy comes from.
In order to keep secrets and safety, the research and development work of Flame City was all studied in the crater, and Mo Xuan organized a large number of gray dwarves to erect dozens of layers of steel plates in the crater, almost every fifty or sixty meters was a layer, so that the entire crater became a high-rise building that was not seen.
Each layer of the crater has its own secrets, and although some places are still empty, everyone believes that one day it will be full.
"When, when, While. Taladomi lifted a long gray tarpaulin.
I saw that there was an item that I didn't know how to describe in the place where the gray cloth was originally covered.
"Wow! I knew it was going to be such garbage, if you look at the parts that leaked out of it, I can guarantee that as long as you reach out and shake it, this guy will fall apart. Lu Sien burst out laughing.
I said, this guy didn't quarrel with Taladomi just now, so he was waiting here! It seems that dwarves are also affected by humans, but I didn't expect that in a year, Lu Sien would become so black-bellied.
However, adhering to the consistent style of goblins, it is practical, and the appearance of this machine that I don't know what it is is really not good-looking, if this thing is thrown on the earth, I am afraid that those who sell scrap iron will take a fancy to it.
As if he hadn't heard Lu Sien's laughter, Taladomi still waited for Mo Xuan's inquiry.
Seeing that it was no longer possible to cooperate, Mo Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Taladomi, what is the effect of this strange item, I mean what can it do?" ”
"I said it was the latest work that shocked you!!" Taladomi boasted again.
"Didn't you say you were pleasantly surprised just now, why did you change your words again!" Lu Sien pretended to be puzzled and reached out to pat the machine.
Maybe it was a little too hard, and a smaller shell clattered to the ground.
There was silence in the lab, and Taladomi smiled awkwardly: "This is my latest work, and it can turn very fast under the trend of magic." As he spoke, he picked up the shell as he pretended not to care, and then took out a quick magic crystal from his dirty pocket and pressed it to one of the machines.
After a dying moan, the machine creaked and turned, gradually faster and faster, faster and ······faster. As the revs increased, the moaning of the machine became more intense, and looking at the shaking appearance made one suspect that it would fall apart in the next moment.
"Damn it, stop, stop. Lu Sien yelled at Taladomi, "I don't want to die at the hands of your goddamn machine. ”
By the time Taladomi wiped his sweat and stopped the machine, the people who had already hid outside the door rushed back with trepidation.
"Isn't this just a shrunken motor? I thought it was! I'm scared to death!" Benedict wiped the sweat from his head, saying that he was the weakest in this regard, and if something happened to him, looking at the posture of the machine, he wouldn't even have the ability to save himself.
Hearing Benedict's words, Taladomi was not ashamed but proudly said, "Yes! ”
