Chapter 42: The Followers

If I'm not mistaken, this is a small test for Helena to see if he really has a glimpse of Thiago's legacy.

Mark made a gesture of please, "It is only right to bury him according to the wishes of his elders." Miss Helena, please take care of yourself. โ€

Helena's eyes were quite complicated, with a sudden rise of gratitude, a aroused sadness, and a faint feeling that I didn't know how to describe.

She was relieved that Mark was the only thing he had taken from the workshop...... Just used that transcendent lantern to eat a pair of legs of the [greedy] priest.

This is the price of using extraordinary items.

She bowed slightly: "Please come with me." โ€

Pull down a few levers, revealing something resembling a small survival pod on the side of the workshop. The two of them sat in, not comfortable. When activated, the metal sphere ran wildly through the darkness along the preset rails.

In just three or four minutes, I arrived at a room, opened the door, and suddenly my eyes lit up.

The sun shines at ten o'clock in the morning on the second-floor terrace of this riverside villa. Sunlight shines through the carved fence onto the terrace.

In front of Mark is an artistic coffee table and chair. If you put two cups of black tea on it and a plate of snacks, this style of painting is definitely what kind of 'aristocratic leisure'.

"Ahh It's ......"

"No one knew that this villa was actually connected to my family's workshop. The original owner of the villa was a big businessman and one of his father's secret patrons. He gave the house to my father when he died ten years ago. Three years ago, my father used a robot to change it into a secret evacuation channel. โ€

Mark was a little speechless, Mr. Great Craftsman, has this already counted everything?

"Please wait a minute."

"Good!"

Helena bowed, and the figure disappeared into the room.

Not long after, a continuous loud noise shook the whole city.

Countless people put down their work and looked blankly at the hill outside the city.

The mansion of the great craftsman, which was once the glory of the whole city, suddenly raised smoke and dust, and in the deafening roar, this legendary mansion that gathered the essence of the machinery industry settled in the eyes of all people.

Not a big bang without nutrients, but a slow sinking underground.

It just so happened that this scene was seen by the people on an airship that was cruising in the sky.

"Oh my God! What happened to Mishul House? โ€

This is a shipping airship.

In the huge sightseeing gondola, passengers are pointing and pointing.

One second the tour guide was enthusiastically introducing the magic of the mansion, and the next second, it sank into the center of the earth in the witness of hundreds of passengers.

The huge boulders measured in [10,000 tons] crackled and smashed on the roof of the mansion, burying everything......

The whole city was stunned.

Including Mark.

On the side of the villa, there is just an angle where you can clearly see the mansion disappearing into the hill.

For a moment, Mark almost wondered if Helena couldn't think of it, and went with her father.

A few minutes later, when the sound of brakes coming from the exit pod came from the room, and as Helena walked out, slammed the trap wall, and sealed the final passage to the mansion, Mark noticed the tears on her face.

"Please mourn. Your father probably doesn't want to see you sad. โ€

Unexpectedly, this comfort had the opposite effect.

The girl's face suddenly showed determination, and a faint annoyance, she clenched her fists: "That bastard won't care about my feelings and life or death." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"My mother was his maid. I'm just the result of his whims. Even after my mother died, I came to him. When he realized that I was not smart enough to keep up with him, he only treated me as the most ordinary assistant, calling me around. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Mark suddenly realized that everything he said was wrong. No matter how distorted other people's family relationships are, it is not something that he, an outsider, can comment on casually.

After the girl excitedly told the truth about what had been buried for many years, she was obviously much more comfortable.

She first straightened up, then felt a little bad, unconsciously twisted, and finally straightened her chest and looked directly at Mark with azure eyes: "Mr. Destini." โ€

"Huh?"

"There is no second person in the world who knows that Mishur has a daughter. The world would only think that the armored giant last night was Monsieur Antoine, Thiago's only disciple. However, Antoine was killed in an accident during a demon hunt last month. โ€

Helena took a deep breath, with apprehension, her bright red lips squirmed a few times, and she still bowed deeply:

"I, Helena Lรณpez, a senior craftsman of the Cult of the Mechanicus, have asked to become a follower of Mister Destini in order to repay him for saving his life."

After saying it in one breath, Helena seemed to have used up all her courage, and no longer dared to look into Mark's eyes, lowered her head, and played with her fingers uneasily.

Mark had guessed before, but now, he still feels like he has been smashed by a pie.

Before he came, his biggest thought was to help Minnie fix her face.

It's better now, just kidnap a senior craftsman.

Technically, of course, it can't compare to the great craftsman Tiago, and the victory will be his own people, and he can raise it slowly.

A full meal or a full meal, Mark must be able to tell the difference.

Even if Mark only thought about it for three seconds, it was really three centuries long for Helena.

Thankfully, the wait was worth it.

At this moment, the warm smile on Mark's face blended perfectly with the sunlight shining from behind him.

Mark stretched out his right hand: "Although I don't have anything to praise now, the world is so big, I am willing to go with you to see it." โ€

Helena looked up suddenly, there was ecstasy in her eyes that could not be concealed, she quickly reached out to hold it, but the second before touching Mark's palm, it subconsciously stopped.

At this moment, it was Mark who took the initiative to hold her hand.

Girls' hands are mostly very soft, but Helena is not, opposite the soft back of the hand, and there are many calluses on the top of the palm.

Perhaps realizing this, Helena hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Mark actually saw through this, and before letting go after shaking hands, her nails quietly scratched her calluses.

Looking at each other and smiling, Helena quickly bowed her head. She really didn't dare let Mark see the red clouds on her cheeks.

This scene was seen by two beings who were not human.

[Woohoo! Why did Mark accept Helena so easily, but dislike me so much. Am I really the one who is dragging my feet? The Bison chick is full of vinegar in her heart.

[Be confident...... Remove the 'can'. Miss Doll is heartbroken.

Here, Mark was unaware of the private communication between the two extraordinary beings, and he scratched his head: "Originally, I came to the door to find a way to fix Minnie." Now that the workshop is gone, it seems that we have to find a way to save a workshop to come out......"

When the words fell, Helena hesitated: "Actually, I still have a mobile workshop. โ€

"Huh?"

A few minutes later, Mark was completely blown away.

In this riverside villa, there is not only a garage, but also a very private dock.

Coming here from the escape passage is only the beginning of the escape.

In front of Mark is a brand-new 30-meter-long, 5-meter-wide and 88-ton inland and ocean-going cargo ship.

Helena squirmed: "Actually, my father handed over this boat to me last year to arrange. His request was to be able to walk. I put my household items and personal tools on the table...... But now that I'm your follower, the boat is yours too. โ€

If there was a mirror in front of him, Mark felt like he would see himself in the mirror, with a bunch of question marks on his head.

He saved people by the way, but he always felt that if he kidnapped people, he would swallow up other people's property.

This is a bit too good.

If you refuse, it is too hypocritical, and you may not let Helena have strange negative thoughts.

In this world, people's negative spiritual energy is too strong, but there is a chance to become [abnormal].

In fact, not to mention the two sides of the Wright Empire, the rivers were dense all over the country, and the water transportation was quite developed.

It would be a lot more convenient to have a boat.

"Okay, I'll take the boat first, and when I have money......"

"No! No more! Helena hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand: "You saved my life, and twice!" A boat is really nothing. Let's start by telling me what you want me to do. โ€

Helena stiffly changed the subject, and Mark didn't have a choice, so he had to let her go.

Even the gate of this dock is covered with a special rock camouflage, unless it is close to two meters, who can see that the cracks on the 'rock' are relatively neat?

The fifteen-metre-high gate opened, and the engine propelled the medium-sized steamer out at its lowest speed.

It's a remote stretch of river just outside the city, with little boat traffic on weekdays and not many people living along the shore.

With the help of Miss Bison's strength, such a large boat sailed into the river like a phantom and slowly sailed to the mouth of the sea.

When there was no more ship as far as the eye could see, Mark let Helena drop anchor and stop the ship.

In the spacious cabin, Helena saw Miss Minnie for the first time.

"Ahh It's amazing...... Helena was bold enough to rub against the broken left side of Minnie's face.

Even though it was easy to be horrified by a rotating gem eyeball, Helena completed the examination.

"How?" Mark asked.

Helena sighed: "It's not that it can't be repaired, it's that there is a lack of materials." โ€

"Huh?"

"As an A-level extraordinary being, Miss Minnie naturally needs A-level mystical materials to repair it. Even if you use a material that doesn't pay attention to function, but only needs to be beautiful, it must be a material of this level. Otherwise, as soon as you enter the music box, the ordinary repair materials will be rejected on the spot. โ€

This conclusion caused a headache for Mark, who had originally planned to 'invent' silicone, put it on Minnie, and then sculpt it, and that was it.

Now it seems that it is not that simple.

"What if I want to turn a normal material into an A-grade mystical material?"

"It's not like there's no way. If you enter a highly mysterious inner world or an alien plane with a very high degree of mystery, sir, and soak this material for a long time with the power of the high mystery inside, you can also do it. Helena paused: "If you just enter the A-level space and want to get the same level of materials, it will take at least a year." โ€

"What if it's an S-class world?"

Helena smiled bitterly: "For the anomalous space, risk and return always coexist. โ€
