The head of the city of Cecil, a silver-white metal ball with a diameter of one meter and a pleasantly funny face, hit the gate of the Lord's House with little strength, and floated behind the metal ball. A metal box that is less than one meter long.
After two impacts, the door opened from the inside, and Betty, wearing a maid's skirt, appeared at the door. The little maid stared at the iron star outside the door with a hint of surprise: "Mr. Egg? You Come on?"
Although the iron star usually rarely leaves his "mechanical throne", Betty is often used by Rebecca to travel around the city, most often to several factories and research facilities, she is naturally familiar with The "Mr. Egg" in front of you.
"Is the lord not?" There was a pleasant buzz in the silver-white metal ball. "Or Miss Rebecca can do it for me!"
Betty blinked and reacted for a second: "The lord and the lady are not there. They went to the Magic Technology Institute, but they should come back soon."
The Nicholas egg floated up and down the round body: "That line, I will go in and wait for it."
The weird "Mr. Egg" is the master of mechanical technology on the territory, and the "human" that the lord highly values. This is still known to Betty, so she directly brought Mr. Egg to the house in the second place according to what Gao Wen had previously commanded. In the study room of the building.
As the mechanical supervisor on the territory, the Nicholas egg rarely leaves the mechanical research institute, and does not leave the industrial area in the eastern part of the city. This does not mean that he does not understand what happened on the territory. He entered the study room of Gaowen. After that, he first saw the map of the Southland that was hung on the study wall, and noticed that in the upper part of the map, the location marked as a meteorite fortress, has been labeled with Cecil.
"This way, at least you can sleep well," the low-pitched snoring inside the metal ball. "So many shells have not been in vain."
The little maid Betty stood in the corner of the study, but she didn't quite understand the lord's war, and she was not interested in it. She just stood there quietly, looking like a god-walking, not knowing the little. What are you thinking about?
Nicholas egg waited for a while in the study, feeling a little bored, and couldn't help but talk to Betty: "Speak up, little girl, are you literate?"
Betty woke up from the state of the sky, she groaned, and then a little bit surely nodded: "know... although I didn't recognize it."
After saying this, the little maid who didn’t have a good brains seemed to have finally entered the state, and then realized that she had not yet entertained the guests, so she quickly picked up her big teapot and walked to the Nicholas egg. The latter is still saying from the bottom of his own, "Oh, know the word, know it, then you usually look at it... Hey, what do you do with the teapot?"
Nicholas's face was funny (he really had no other expressions available) to "see" Betty, and then he saw this dumb little maid speak very seriously: "Mr. Egg, do you want some black tea?"
The Nicholas egg was instantly shocked: "...had you never found out that I have no mouth?!"
Betty seems to have carefully looked at the structure of the iron star in front of him. He also turned around for two turns and seemed to be looking for an opening that could fill the tea. After discovering that he did not find it, he made a long sound and said: " Oh...no, really!"
"Crap, I don't know if this face is painted." Nicholas egg swayed and continued the topic. "When you read, will you read the newspaper?"
"The newspaper... can understand, usually look at it," Betty nodded, her face showing a happy look. "The lord also gave me a stationery, scissors and glue. He also taught me what I like in the newspaper. Cut it down to make a book!"
After saying this, Betty wandered around the Nicholas egg: "... Mr. Egg, you really can't drink tea."
Nicholas eggs can't understand why this little maid is so obsessed with drinking tea for the guests, but he is really worried that this dull girl has to drill a hole in her body to pour the tea into it, so she patiently explained: "I am with You are different. I don't usually have to eat or drink... or the way I eat is different from you..."
Betty finally stopped wandering, wide-eyed and curiously looking at the metal ball in front of her eyes: "How does Mr. Egg usually eat?"
Nicholas said casually: "Oh, usually it is absorbed by the body surface..."
When he said this, he realized that the little maid next to him might have misunderstood, because the girl was looking up and down at his round body while shaking the big teapot in his hand. His face was full of eager expressions. He saw Quickly open the mouth: "Hey, you take the idea in your mind and accept that the body surface absorption that I said does not include letting you water me!"
Betty’s face suddenly showed some disappointing expression: “...oh.”
Nicholas egg raised a question mark: "Why are you so obsessed with drinking tea for your guests?"
Betty reveals her signature, sluggish expression. After two seconds of reaction, she suddenly said: "Sister Ginny said that the most important thing for the maid who is responsible for receiving the guests is to promptly pour new tea for the guests..."
"Ginny..." Nicholas recalled it and found that he had not heard of the name. "Is the new housemaid here?"
Betty shook her head in a shouting voice: "No, Ginny's sister is the maid in the previous castle. She is responsible for entertaining the guests. It is the most powerful of us."
After she finished speaking, she paused. It seemed to be recalling something. Then she said: "She sometimes takes the rest of the snacks that the guests have left to the kitchen and gives us food..."
"The castle before..." Nicholas whispered a whisper and understood what was going on.
He found that Betty’s mood was low and realized that he had said something stupid before, which caused this stupid topic.
However, he does not know how to comfort a human being. The erect creatures whose thinking and emotions are too complicated have too many incomprehensible characteristics. They are far less easy to understand than metal and machinery. He can only learn to listen to each other before. Consolation often said something: "Don't be sad, everything will be fine."
"I am not sad, I am already getting better," Betty shook her head and seemed to have gotten up. "Mrs. Vincent said that living is the most happy thing."
The Nicholas egg floated quietly beside Betty and once again realized that human beings are really a very complicated and interesting creature.
And soon, the most complicated and interesting people of all the humans he knew were finally here.
Gao Wen pushed open the door of the study. When he entered the room, he saw Betty holding the teapot and the big metal ball standing beside Betty. He smiled a little: "Nicholas, I heard that you brought the same 'good things' to give I read?"
In the back of Gao Wen, he followed his head again and Rebecca slammed into the study: "I am coming, I am coming, Mr. Egg, what did you get out of?! The engine for the car or the bearing for the ship. ?"
In the whole "Cecier R&D and production system", the most closely related to the machinery manufacturing of Nicholas Egg is the Magic Technology Institute managed by Rebecca, which is the main R&D department of the practical field technology. Some blueprints that have been verified by theory are entrusted to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, and such orders are usually more than ordinary "mechanical bachelor" processing capabilities, and are usually handled by Nicholas eggs. Normally, Nicholas eggs will always be hand-held. Holding several orders from Rebecca.
So when I heard that Nicholas’ egg came to the lord’s house with “good things,” the most exciting thing was not Gao Wen, but Rebecca.
On the other hand, after Gao Wen greeted the Nicholas egg, he looked at Betty, who was holding the teapot. He couldn’t help but reveal a smile when he saw the teapot in the other hand: "You didn't force our master craftsmen to drink. Tea bar?"
"Mr. Egg has no mouth," Betty shook her head. "He can't drink."
"...you," Gao Wen shook his head helplessly and licked the little girl's hair. "Go back and rest."
Betty left the room, and Nicholas Egg always came to Rebecca and placed the metal box that was always floating near him firmly on the ground: "The two things are almost done, but what I brought today is another. The finished product of an order,"
The lock on the metal box is automatically opened, and the cover is bounced up. A metal roller device with a length of about 80 cm, a rune interface on both ends, and a faintly textured surface in the silver and white is floated out from the inside.
Nicholas's egg sounded proudly: "It is not easy to realize its function. Although the principle and structure diagram are very clear, it is not easy to master the proper ratio of Mithril alloy. Even I have tested it for a long time before letting it Can work stably. Miss Rebecca, check your order."
"This..." Rebecca looked at the metal roller in surprise. "You finally succeeded!?"
After seeing the shape of the metal roller, Gao Wen vaguely guessed what it was, but turned to Rebecca for confirmation: "This is"
"This is the most important structure in the new press you said before!" Rebecca smiled brightly. In order to design this thing, the Magic Technology Institute spent a lot of effort. "I call it 'Arcane Transfer Cartridge', with this, you can quickly create a plate that is easy to edit, continuous printing, and reusable.
"Arcane transfer cylinder?" Gao Wen did not expect Rebecca to learn his habits to create a new term for him. He repeated the word and curious about the metal cylinder in front of him. "Now can demonstrate How? How does it work?"
"It also needs an input unit to work, but if you just want to see what it looks like after it starts, just inject magic into this part..." Rebecca said as he put his hand on the metal circle. At one end of the barrel, "Carefully infuse some magic into it, give the test symbol to... 哎 ancestors, what are you doing..."
Gao Wen waited for the girl to "inject the magic" and pulled her handcuffs to the side: "I am coming, you should not blow up the house again."
After he finished, he no longer took care of Rebecca's sulking look, but placed his hand on the end of the metal device under the guidance of the Nicholas egg.
A little faint magic was carefully injected into the metal tube.
Just a few moments later, the surface of the silver-white metal cylinder emerged with lines and symbols that lined up neatly and in a row.
