405. I'm going to find someone to show off
The sudden 'outburst' of this young white-collar worker startled Lloyd a little, and he almost opened the [Twisted Realm].
"Uh...... What's wrong with him? ”
Fortunately, the man's reaction was also unusually fast, and he quickly changed his words and said:
"Ahaha, I'm sorry, I got along with the two of you so much that I almost forgot a very important thing, please allow me to miss it."
With that, he took this excuse and quickly escaped from the reception room.
And the Linde craftsman, or Master Linde, also followed the round:
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Lindsay, this kid is actually my son, he has lacked discipline since he was a child, and he always has no beginning or end in his work, and he loses everything."
Lloyd and Bartolo didn't think much of it, just smiled, not caring about this little thing.
It's just that a young white-collar worker named Lindsay was about to go out when his father's stern warning came in his ears:
"If you dare to show off this to your fox friends, I will definitely break your legs and pull out your tongue again."
Lindsay shuddered slightly, and quickly pushed the door and escaped.
And when he came out, his face couldn't help but show that kind of smug excitement.
Our family actually received a handwritten letter from the Dento Saint!
Ninth Order! Sage! [Veto] Yes! Handwritten letter!
Hahaha! It seems that our family will definitely be able to complete the revival in my generation, and even surpass our ancestors!
Maybe I can fulfill my ancestors' last wish and be promoted to a true aristocratic family?
The more Lindsay thought about it, the more excited she became.
In fact, the family he and Master Linde belong to is a family of craftsmen who have continued from the glorious era of the past to the present day, including the 'ingenuity' of their workshop's brand, which can now be found in some ancient classics.
And their family even touched the threshold of promotion to nobility in the heyday of the beginning, and they could give themselves a surname, but unfortunately the apocalypse came suddenly, and all their efforts were in vain.
As a result, the desire to 'join an aristocratic family and realize class leapfrogging' has become a regret that their family has never been able to realize.
But fortunately, as valuable professional and technical talents, their family has mixed quite well in the post-apocalyptic era and the current new era.
Not only has it succeeded in continuing the bloodline and those ancestral craftsmanship and technology, and has re-erected the brand of 'ingenuity', but it has also established a close connection with the new era of Mizkatok.
Although Mizkatok is no longer as good as it was back then, it is still a dazzling gold-lettered signboard in the present world, and if it is still the Mizkatok of the past, he will not even give a straight eye to the folk craftsman of 'originality'.
Therefore, Lindsay's academic ability and rating were able to graduate in Mizkatok thanks to this relationship......
It's just that Master Linde doesn't have much thought about the wishes of his ancestors, and only thinks about running the workshop conscientiously and maintaining the family.
On the contrary, Lindsay, who loves all kinds of operas, operas, and romances, is more enthusiastic about becoming a nobleman.
Whether it is the various descriptions of the privileged life of the nobles in various literary works, or the lonely aristocratic classmates he came into contact with in Mizkatokry, he sincerely yearns for that noble identity, even if this is no longer the case in today's era, but it still can't limit his longing and fantasy.
And now that the family has actually received a letter from the Sage, and still has a request for their own workshop, this is obviously a recognition from a higher class, which makes Lindsay feel that he is one step closer to his fantasy.
Although Master Linde had strictly forbidden him to show off to others, Lindsay couldn't help but drive his luxury steam car to another workshop in the city.
The owner of the workshop was his greatest rival, the 'enemy he must surpass', but at the same time his only trusted 'friend' in the entire city of tranquility -
A young craftsman named Valdés.
Anyway, his dad is just not allowed to show off to his fox friends, and Valdés is obviously not among them.
So dozens of minutes later, Lindsay parked the steam car and walked into a workshop called 'Fine Crafts' with her head held high.
Compared to his family's 'ingenuity', this workshop is much smaller and more shabby.
Not only is the equipment not completely new, there are no apprentices, and even the port location is very unfavorable, and it is completely incomparable to the long history.
So Lindsay has always believed that this workshop has not closed down so far, thanks to his warm-hearted and kind person, and a little bit of Valdés' own efforts.
So as soon as he entered the workshop, he saw Valdés looking sad, lying on the workbench writing and drawing, and then said without raising his head:
"Welcome, my young master Lindsay."
The tone of this tone showed an obvious taste of stick reading, which was obviously reluctant.
Lindsay seemed to be accustomed to such perfunctory, and did not mind the other party's rudeness, so she picked a chair and sat down very casually, and then snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph~ Still so arrogant? My great genius engineer. ”
"In terms of arrogance, I have always been willing to bow down......"
Valdés said, crumpling up what was written in front of him, throwing it into the trash can at his feet, and then took the initiative to ask:
"Okay, don't waste my time, what do you want to show off to me today? A new bubble girl? Or did Master give you a new car? ”
"Haha, I guessed wrong! Neither, just wanted to take you out for dinner and introduce you to a new friend by the way. ”
"Don't go ......"
Valdés originally subconsciously expressed his refusal, but seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly changed his words and asked:
"Is it rich?"
"It's not a question of having money or not, or rather, money is not a problem for him at all, it's a real genius, a supreme genius, a unique genius, even you, are only eclipsed in front of him."
"Hehe, where did you come from this time again?"
Valdés asked, his tone palpably disdainful.
He couldn't even remember how many times this 'eldest young master' had introduced him to the 'supreme genius'.
It turned out to be all scammers, either trying to cheat his family out of money or stealing his family's technology.
Fortunately, Valdés is also an emotional person, and for the sake of Linde, the mentor, he will always take the trouble to help him get rid of these charlatans.
After that, Lindsay learned to be smarter and didn't eat much of it.
As a result, Valdés didn't expect it to come again today......
So even if he doesn't want to, he'll still help Lindsay identify the hot scams again.
But the other party didn't appreciate it, still waving his hand, and laughed proudly:
"No, no, no! My great genius, this time the situation is different, the other party is a top student from Mizkatok. ”
"Okay, but may I ask how many of the top students from Mizkatok have come from?"
"Alas...... I said that the situation is different this time, the other party came with my father's classmates, you can't trust me, can you still trust Master? ”
"Oh? That seems to be a great person. ”
Valdés was a little surprised, it was okay for those charlatans to deceive the 'eldest young master' in front of him, but it was not so easy to fool his master.
"Hmph~ Now believe it, right? This man's name is Lloyd, he is already a lecturer in Mitzkatok, he looks younger than me, his appearance is slightly inferior to mine, he is humble and polite in dealing with people, but he is not like you bastard, with long eyes and ...... on the top of his head."
"Wait! Lloyd? ”
"Oh? So you've heard of him? ”
"Well, I heard a friend from Order City mention it."
Valdés remembers hearing about this man at the Future of Humanity Seminar, mentioned by the Black Chariot, and suggesting that a way should be found to recruit him into the workshop.
In the description of the black chariot, this man is very 'incredible', shocking his colleague from the declining aristocratic 'Iska' family, and at the same time seems to be an extremely powerful anatomist?
After Valdés knew about this person, he also imagined who was more powerful than the 'black knight' who this person came into contact with?
It's a pity that with the problems in the seminar, he has never seen these two real young geniuses again, and he can't imagine that there will be a chance to meet one of them again today?
Considering the close connection between anatomy and transcendent materials, it is not surprising that this Lloyd would come into contact with 'ingenuity', but Valdés still remembers that the Black Chariot said that this person is only a second-order person, and he actually became a lecturer in Mizkatok?
It seems that Mizkatok is really a place that focuses more on academics than strength, and it is simply a dream paradise for people like me......
Valdés sighed secretly in his heart, and then looked at Lindsay in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably angry.
I dreamed of studying in a school for further study, and this guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to get in relied on nepotism, but he didn't study well when he got in, and in the end, although he graduated, but the grades were ...... almost fainted his master on the spot.
He is still acceptable to Lindsay's other bad problems, what is greedy for pleasure, what is exaggerated and arrogant, what loves to show off, and what he always fantasizes about being a nobleman.
After all, he was his only friend......
But this was the only thing that wasted the opportunity to study at Mizkatok, which made Valdés so angry that he refused to deal with him for a long time.
And Lindsay was as unconscious as ever, and said proudly:
"Hehe, you know how good I am, right? Go pack up and follow me to the world at night, and I'll tell you a big secret when I get back! ”
