977.exist? Upgrade my program (page 2/2)
Professor Malcolm introduced the characteristics of the Minx Steam Valve to Murphy on the way. He said：
“But you cannot ignore Lord Minx's importance in this war..
He is the main militant in the Steam Lords Council. It is precisely because of his persistence that Port Chardeau absorbed many refugees from the surrounding area before it was besieged, and protected the lives of these poor people. It was also under his auspices that Chardeau Port The defensive firepower throughout Erdo Port is being rapidly upgraded..
Upgrading from the 'non-lethal' concept that halflings previously adhered to to a real weapon of war.
At present, the armed airship force in Port Chardeau is also maintained and upgraded by Lord Minx and his students. After hearing about the bombing pattern of our Transians on the Maginot Line, they are already trying to restore it. Carved out similar incendiary bombs.”
“Well, I like the term 'us Transians' very much, Professor..”
Murphy put his hands behind his back, acted like a lord, and said to Professor Malcolm：
“It seems that your self-perception has become a citizen of Transia. I am very pleased. This is enough to prove that the territory under my rule is in line with your values and outlook on life..”
“I can't escape, Lord..”
Professor Malcolm said with a wry smile.：
“That evil-minded girl Miriam took advantage of my wife's weakness. Just the false name of 'Executive Earl' was enough to satisfy the vanity in Fna's heart. Now she will play with the Countess' tone when she and her best friends gather. It's really frustrating.
However, compared to Port Chardeau, I would rather serve as ambassador to the Jackal Kingdom established by my student Hogg after this term ends..
You know, as a historian, I really want to use my own pen and ink to record the entire process of the transformation of the gnolls from barbarism to civilization. That is the highest honor a historian can get in this life..
It is said that writing books and biographies can leave a name in history. Unfortunately, Funa will never follow me to the Dark Mountains to endure hardships..
I can't ask my family to accommodate my ideals. She and her children have suffered enough because of me during the ten years of war..”
“So be it！”
Murphy clapped his hands and said：
“Ms. Funa will take over your position as Ambassador of Port Chardeau. She is your student and has a solid foundation in the field of history and humanities. Her sensitivity to political affairs can be slowly practiced in her work. Then you will serve as the Ambassador of Transia. The Ambassador of Canglang Castle went to Hogg's side.
Anyway, there will definitely be an airship route opened between the two places in the future. It will be more convenient for you to travel between the two places when you miss your family..
To be honest, Hogg is also hinting that I will transfer you to it. It has been having a headache with the cultural inheritance of the Gnoll Kingdom. Your arrival will definitely solve that big problem..
In the future, you may be able to leave a glorious nickname of 'Wolf Shepherd' in history..”
“Well, this is indeed a pretty perfect solution.”
Professor Malcolm was a little moved, but it didn't matter after Murphy said it, and it still had to be approved by Archon Miriam..
“one more thing.”
Murphy and the professor took the mechanical elevator to the office at the highest point of the teaching building. As he walked towards Principal Minks' office, he said softly：
“I formally invite you to become a member of the 'development team' and compile background information on the background of the world of Transia and the various forces for the foreigners in their 'data library', as a cultural representation of the two worlds. The main channel of communication, I don’t know you.”
“Of course I do! Mr. Murphy, I have been preparing for this for a long time！”
Professor Malcolm said with shining eyes：
“The civilizations of the foreign world are as bright as flowers. I may not be able to see all the glory in my life, but the study of their history can also point the way for our future. I am happy to accept your employment. I can start working now.！”
“Well, you'll have to wait a moment..”
Murphy pointed to the office in front of him and said：
“At least wait until I finish talking to Mr. Minx. Do you want to come with me?？”
“I won’t go. I have to go to the Steam Lords’ mansion to discuss with them the issue of the second batch of supporters. The success of our expedition allowed the Steam Lords to see the bravery of the Transians, and they strongly requested that we send out More soldiers came to support the war in Genoa.
For this they offered twice the reward.”
The professor shook his head and said：
“There is also a discussion about the pension issue of the Black Flame Mercenary Group. Colonel Ron’s soldiers are brave, but they also suffered heavy casualties. Although the lives of the warriors cannot be measured in money, they are earned for their families. Adequate pension is also my duty as an ambassador..
You are busy.
We can continue this conversation at the embassy in the evening.”
“Um.”
Murphy watched the professor leave with his cane.
He still remembered Professor Malcolm's downfall when he first joined the Scarlet Castle, but now the professor seemed to have become younger all of a sudden, and his legs with old injuries became stiffer when walking. He really envied these people who had clear goals and People with noble pursuits will never get lost in a materialistic society..
With such emotion, Murphy knocked on the door of the office in front of him, and then heard a sharp voice from inside, saying：
“Please come in！”
Murphy opened the door and saw at a glance that there were all kinds of drawings and books piled up in front of him..
In the center of the office, which looks like a messy library, there is an old halfling man wearing round glasses and an engineer's uniform, using a drawing pen and ruler to modify the drawings..
Compared with Old Flywheel and Little Bach, the Minks in front of me looks much older, especially his goatee, which makes him look like an old scholar..
However, the eyes of this halfling are as bright as the flywheel and Bach, without any trace of turbidity, which seems to prove that even time cannot take away any trace of reason, sobriety and wisdom from him..
Lord Minks made a good first impression on Murphy, but when the other party raised his head, his focus was not on Murphy. He stared at the red core orb hanging on Murphy's chest. After a few seconds, he pushed his own glasses, say：
“Do you find my work comfortable to use? Mr. Thief.”
“Well”
This unkind question made Murphy a little embarrassed..
All right.
Time passed so long that he even forgot that there was a "stolen item" label on his core orb. This wave was like a thief coming to the owner with stolen items..
But Murphy is so thick-skinned.
Not only did he not show he was at a loss, but he strode forward under Minx's surprised gaze, took off the core orb and handed it to him, saying：
“This is a very useful semi-finished product, but a semi-finished product is still a semi-finished product. No matter how excellent the design is, it cannot cover up its lack of details and functionality. The old flywheel helped me modify some functions, but there is no way to change those fundamental flaws. Improved arrangement of psionic factors.
Therefore, I would say
For the sake of me bringing soldiers to defend your city, can you help me with an 'after-sales upgrade'?？
I really have a lot of new ideas to add to this.”
