Murphy's time to return to Transia is very tight this time.
The Blood Flag Highlands is still being fought over there. God knows if there will be some clever little guy who deliberately saves points and summons him, the mainline NPC, to make things happen..
Although he deliberately set his support score very high in order not to be embarrassed, accidents will always happen, so Murphy felt that he should not waste too much time..
After the meeting with Miriam, Murphy wanted to go to Tris, but found that the Archduke Blood Vulture was still talking to the two goatmen he brought back, probably talking about the Arch Duke Blood Vulture "when he was young." The dark history, so the cautious Murphy did not choose to disturb his girlfriend to avoid Tris becoming angry, but went down to the bottom of the corridor again..
In the passage outside the collapsed Hall of Holy Blood, he saw a strange piece of engineering equipment in operation, and the steam marionette Jasmine he saw last time was standing beside the equipment boredly..
As Murphy approached, he saw more clearly that the crushed gold ore was being put into the mechanical box behind the excavator-like equipment through a conveyor belt. This thing was similar to all the excavators Murphy had seen before. The machines are all different.
To be precise, the biggest difference is that it has six "spider legs". This thing can move on its own when necessary..
“I remember Old Flywheel came to my property with only you two and his toolbox, so is this something he knocked out with a wrench these days? Is this the power of a master of steam engineering? It's amazing.”
Murphy put his hands behind his back and did not touch the strange device with his hands. Instead, he maintained the attitude of "bringing a vampire" and asked Jasmine. The boring steam marionette didn't even bother to answer the question..
Her mechanical bionic face, made of steel and some special substances, made a "boring" expression and curled her lips.：
“It was made by the old flywheel when he was 'guiding the work' in your arsenal. This was a gift from the loyal brother to the distinguished guest. Of course, the cunning guy also secretly took away the design of the flywheel..
He thought that a marionette assassin like me didn't notice his little tricks. It's so ridiculously cunning..
But in fact, he can ask for it directly. This kind of mining walking machine has long been popular in the mines of the Brass Dwarves, and the blueprint is not a valuable secret at all, let alone the more advanced 'destroyer' walking machines in Port Shardau. Machine model.
It seems you Transians are really not good at engineering.！
Old Feilun viciously commented that the engineering standards here are at least four hundred years behind ours. Perhaps in his eyes, there is no difference between you and jackals..”
“Well, for partners, such an evaluation is really disappointing and difficult, but since you are here, our average level of engineering in Transia can probably be stretched a little bit..
Well, the level of intelligence in the air is really improving visibly to the naked eye..”
Murphy shrugged and complained.：
“So, where is the flywheel? I want to talk to him about inviting him to serve as the 'Master of Transian Engineering'.”
“He is purifying burning gold products in Mrs. Trish's laboratory. I suggest you not go there. Although Old Flywheel is shameless, he also swore back then that he would not allow you to watch the purification of burning gold..
It's not a matter of friendship or business. Once it happens, he himself will be in trouble..
I guess you don’t want to face the pursuit of the iron-hearted hunters of the Brass Dwarves. Those who deviate from the guidance of Mother Earth are real madmen. Anyone who wants to get involved in the secret of burning gold is their eternal enemy..”
Jasmine warned in a sharp, mechanical voice.：
“Old Flywheel has suffered a lot over the years, and he already knows the price of getting into trouble, and I don't think he will take the position of your engineering craftsman. That guy takes the knowledge in his head very seriously, and in the church After those bugbear workers, he didn't even bother to say a few more words to the fool..”
“Oops, my partner is really versatile. I heard that the craft of preparing burning gold is a secret among the brass dwarves. I didn’t expect that Flywheel can actually do it..”
Murphy narrowed his eyes and said：
“Where did he learn that? You can't work in a dwarf mineral company, right?？”
“Alas, human wisdom！”
Jasmine replied disdainfully：
“You don’t even think about it, how could a dwarf with a stone brain figure out the process of preparing burning gold on his own? Are they good at alchemy?.
That is the secret developed by Flywheel's mentor, my ancestor, Professor Old Bach Gaslamp, the founder of steam engineering. I heard that when the dwarves found the gold mine and didn't know how to use it, they asked the gas lamp for advice. Professor, it took the latter three months to refine the true secret of burning gold..
He was very smart and knew that it was a wonder that could change the world, so he made an agreement with Lord Hadran, the High Lord of the Brass Dwarves..
My ancestor taught the brass dwarves the process of preparing burning gold. The brass dwarves provided protection for the halflings and formed an eternal brotherhood. After that, the city of the brass dwarves and Port Shardau were truly Achieved the take-off of cooperation between the two parties.
But let me tell you, burning gold is actually not a good thing..
After that, the old Professor Bach Gaslamp basically never touched the gold-burning technology, and turned to study steam engineering. In his later years, he finally broke through the bottleneck of engineering and made the magical steam marionette..
That's a guy like me.
This is the proudest achievement of Professor Gaslamp's life. In his autobiography, he did not mention the discovery of burning gold at all. This obviously represents my ancestor's disgust for burning gold.
Of course, we all know now that it is because the birth of Burning Gold is related to subspace..
It itself is synonymous with the word 'danger'.”
“Um？”
Murphy said with a wink.：
“Old Feilun called you two students before. I thought it was some kind of quirk of his, but I didn't expect that you two were actually his students? Then how did you end up being made into marionettes? Is it because of disobedience?？
Or is it because I always have this tone of wanting to be beaten when I speak?？
Listen to my advice, little Jasmine. If you want to stay in Transia for a long time, you must not be so venomous. You will be hated by my warriors..”
“Hey, who cares what you think? I'm dead, okay? And my story, that's a really sad story.”
Jasmine, the assassin-type steam marionette, made a dramatic gesture of wiping her eyes, and said in a sharp and vicious tone.：
“When the old flywheel was kicked by Ms. Bach, he went a little crazy. Later, he accidentally broke the intimacy between Bach and his junior brother Minx in the laboratory. Well, I guess I shouldn't say this..
In short, Feilun's crazy mind was related to this matter. He went out of his way to connect Bach's love with his engineering achievements with Mr. Minx..
So he and his genius junior brother had a duel in the name of engineering, but that idiot was so anxious to make his own 'doomsday battle device' that he didn't check it many times, causing the thing to explode when it was started..
He's fine, he just hurt his eye.
But we sisters were unlucky. As his apprentices, Dina and I were directly killed on the spot..
Old Flywheel was banished from Port Chardeau because of this incident, but he still had a conscience. He found a familiar friend to dig us out of the cemetery and pieced together things to help us get the 'resurrection' thing done..
Alas, although Old Flywheel is indeed a jerk, he is actually pretty good to both of us..
I guess there must be some guilt in it. Of course, I don’t rule out that the old flywheel is a senior pervert, just like some of the bastards in the mysterious craftsmen’s gatherings in Port Chardeau who don’t like living people, but like machines..
Your simple vampire brain will never imagine what those disgusting guys would do to the machine. Just thinking about it makes the third energy tube in my heart tremble..”
“Wow, the life of you halflings is really exciting. It is completely different from any other race on this continent..”
Murphy heard the gossip and immediately felt that his trip was worthwhile..
As for Jasmine, even if she became a marionette, she couldn't change the girls' talkative character. She also planned to reveal some fierce information, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her body seemed to have a switch turned off. After a mournful cry, the duck sat on the spot with his head lowered and was "shut down"..
Murphy looked up and saw the old flywheel carrying a small bag walking over from the corner in front with a gloomy face. He also held a large mechanical controller in his hand..
“Ah, I can't have this mechanical Marionette who can't control his mouth. I knew I should have operated on Jasmine's brain and sewed her mouth shut..
This guy liked to talk nonsense when he was alive.”
The gloomy wild warlord cursed. He strode forward and observed the operation of the mining walker. Then he raised his head and looked at Murphy and said：
“A Halfling airship came outside, and your city was alarmed. On it was the flag of the Hoffman family. So, Murphy, my partner, are you planning to 'eat two fish with one fish'?？”
