797.If you want to create something new, you will always encounter problems of one kind or another - New Year’s update [30/30] (page 1/2)
The conversation between Murphy and Professor Malcolm continued until the airship landed at the berth of Scarlet Castle..
At this time, Murphy was extremely grateful that he had appointed someone like Professor Malcolm as the ambassador of Transia. Only someone with experience and ability like the Professor could explain it clearly to Murphy in just a few dozen minutes of description. Current situation on the Genoa Peninsula.
To put it simply, the biggest problem there is not the black plague of gnolls that may cross the Gorgon Pass at any time, because there is still a shield dwarf clan insisting on the Polut Pass closest to the Port of Chardo, and the gnolls are not that easy to come.
But even before the gnolls arrived, the halflings were already panicking about the possibility of war..
To put it simply, these short men frightened themselves. This was closely related to the fact that they had not encountered a war in the past thousand years. However, the professor also said that he suspected that this fear came so suddenly and broke out in clusters. Secretly, he must have There are other forces taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble..
Murphy was not surprised.
This is the way Dusk behaves. What they pursue is to destroy the world. Under this premise, all actions that are beneficial to this goal can be used..
Moreover, according to Murphy's observation, each faction in Twilight has different ways of achieving the same goal. If the situation is not equal, one faction is better at inciting public opinion.？
However, after Murphy and Xiao Sharon met, this conjecture was immediately rejected by the Countess of Sicomal..
“Of course it's not like that. The situation is not as complicated and dark as you think. On the way here, Uncle Glendower told me that all those instigations and rebellions were caused by an underground sect called the "Spirit of the Machine". ghost.
Professor Malcolm didn't understand much about this. He didn't see the shadow hidden under the surface of Port Chardeau, so he made a wrong judgment, but it can't be said to be completely wrong. After all, there was indeed someone behind this incident. The forces adding fuel to the flames.”
We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Xiao Sharon is still the standard height of a little potato, but her dress this time is more sophisticated than her previous mechanic style..
The windshield on his head was replaced by a more complicated and bulky engineering goggles, and a multi-light-resolving mechanic's goggles hung around his neck..
She was wearing a mechanic's coat similar to a bomber jacket, and she wore straight overalls and work boots. She also made herself a pair of suspenders to match the plaid shirt she wore. She looked both capable and full of machinery. Master's hard work and sense of precision.
Especially the mechanic's leather bag on Xiao Sharon's work belt and the engineering gauntlet she wears on her left hand, make every move of this little potato full of the cool and punk feel that an engineering master should have..
Fortunately, she didn't get any dark circles under her eyes, otherwise she would look like a mechanical girl..
When Murphy found little Sharon, she was directing a group of halfling technicians to move some complex and sophisticated machinery out of the cabin. This was when she was packing up her entire laboratory in Port Chardeau, and it also represented Sharon. "Returning to China after Studying"”.
She will definitely stay in the Scarlet Keep from now on..
This can also be regarded as a sign that Countess Sicomaire is determined to return to her hometown and contribute to the war cause in her hometown..
“You have really grown up and are much calmer than before. You should really let that horse monkey Soju of Femis see how you have grown now..”
Murphy was pleased to see that little Sharon had become a real general. He took another look at the halflings not far away from Sharon who were peeping at him. The vampire lord keenly noticed that there was something on the clothes of these halflings. They all have a special family crest, and Sharon’s mechanic coat also has a similar family crest..
He understood immediately, patted Sharon on the shoulder and said to her：
“These are all members of the Glendower family, right? is your relative？”
“Well, they are members of my mother’s side of the family. Several of the elders watched my mother grow up. They even attended my mother and father’s wedding..”
Sharon nodded vigorously and said：
“Lord, don’t worry. I will use the Sikomel family’s property to support my relatives and will not put any pressure on Transia’s finances..”
“Nonsense. Although I have never met Mr. Glendower, I also know that we were able to transport so many things back from Port Chardeau some time ago only because of Mr. Glendower’s help. He is from Transia. old friend.
Although we have lost power due to an accident, Transia will never treat our friends badly..”
Murphy reached out and flicked Little Sharon's forehead, and he said seriously：
“I will ask Miriam to grant your uncle a knighthood in recognition of his contribution to this war. There will be a retirement allowance to ensure Mr. Glendower’s quality of life. As for your natal family members, those who are talented can be You command the commander-in-chief to establish the Transians' own mechanical design bureau. Those members who want to pursue official careers can also be arranged in our administrative village..
The premise is that they must voluntarily participate in the administrative ability assessment organized by the administrative office.
I also have good news to tell you. During your trip to Port Shardau, the little mummy Nefertari from the place of origin has awakened your parents, and they are now maintaining a certain level of sanity. Help the Church of the Dead Moon reshape the undead ecology of Xiko City, where the Church of the Dead Moon will create a Holy Land of Death..
So if you want to meet your parents, you can go there now.”
“Wow, this is really great.”
Xiao Sharon's eyes suddenly widened with joy, but she quickly calmed down and said：
“I have to do my duty first. When Uncle Glendower wakes up, I will take him there with the elders. Let me tell you about this 'Mechanical Spirit' church first. They are in the Shire. Is Duogang a hidden force?.
In fact, we in Transia also have their members..”
“Um？”
Murphy narrowed his eyes immediately, but quickly said clearly：
“You're talking about the old flywheel？”
“Yes, Mr. Leak Flywheel, the greatest halfling mechanic and scientific pioneer Professor Bach Gaslamp's favorite disciple, if he and his junior brother had not turned against each other because of his younger junior sister, he would have been a Ciel by now. The president of Doujiang University.”
Little Sharon explained to him while flying next to Murphy：
“As for the relationship between the Church of the Mechanical Spirit and Lao Feilun, it’s irrelevant. My uncle told me this. He was responsible for the case where Lao Feilun caused an accident and resulted in the death of innocent people and was deported. He also investigated the case. Something about this underground church for a while.
They showed up early.
Basically at the time when Professor Bach Sr. developed the Psychic Difference Engine, the conflict between the Church of the Mechanical Spirit and the orthodox mechanics arose..
They are all very powerful mechanics, but they pursue a very strange philosophy..
The followers of the Spirit of Machinery believe that machinery is also a kind of faith. They also paranoidly claim that it is the only faith of halflings. They regard all mechanical mysteries as gifts from the 'God of Machinery', and make all manufacturing processes similar to faith rituals. Similarly, strict rituals and prayers were also formulated.
In short, this is a group of guys who worship knowledge, but their way of worshiping knowledge is completely different from other truth seekers..”
“Hmm, it sounds a bit like the Cult of Mechanicus..”
Murphy asked with great interest.：
“Therefore, what is the purpose of the Mechanical Spirit Church secretly inciting the halflings to march and disrupt order?？”
“It is to intimidate the steam lords and demand recognition of the existence of the mechanical spirit and grant them the same power as the orthodox mechanics.！”
Xiao Xuelun answered very accurately.：
“Because in the era of old Professor Bach, these followers of the Mechanical Doctrine were labeled as heretics. They were forced to go underground but they never disbanded. Instead, they gained new power because of the continuous advancement of halfling steam technology..
