Chapter 448 The New Order Has Been Completed

Cecil City Lord's Mansion, a silver-white metal ball with a diameter of one meter three and a pleasant funny smile on the surface hit the gate of the Lord's Mansion with moderate force, and behind the metal ball, still floating. With a metal box less than one meter long.

After two hits, the door opened from the inside, and Betty in a maid's dress appeared at the door. The little maid blinked and looked at the Iron Ball star outside the door, with a hint of surprise on her face: "Mr. Egg? You come?"

Although the iron ball star rarely leaves his "mechanical throne", Betty is often driven around by Rebecca in various areas of the city. The most frequent ones are a few factories and research facilities, which she is naturally familiar with. The "Mr. Egg" in front of him.

"Is the lord there?" There was a pleasant hum from the silver-white metal ball, "or Miss Rebecca too - I have something good for them!"

Betty blinked and reacted for a second: "The lord and the lady are not here. They went to the Magic Technology Research Institute, but they should be back soon."

Nicholas Egg floated up and down his chubby body: "That's fine, I'll go in and wait for a while."

The weird-looking "Mr. Egg" is a master of mechanical technology in the territory, and a "person" that the lord highly values. Betty still knows this, so she directly followed what Gawain had instructed before and brought Mr. Egg to the second place in the mansion. in the library on the floor.

As the mechanical supervisor on the territory, Nicholas Egg seldom leaves the Mechanical Research Institute, let alone the industrial area in the eastern part of the city, but this does not mean that he does not understand what is happening on the territory. When entering Gawain's study After that, he saw the map of the southern border hanging on the wall of the study at first glance, and noticed that on the upper part of the map, the location marked as the rock fortress had been pasted with Cecil's logo.

"At least I can get a good night's sleep this way," said a low humming sound from 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 she was wandering in the sky, and she didn't know the little girl. What's going on in my head.

Nicholas Egg waited in the study for a while, feeling a little bored, so he couldn't help but talk to Betty: "Speaking of which, little girl, do you know how to read?"

Betty suddenly woke up from the state of wandering, she was stunned, and then nodded a little uncertainly: "I know... although I don't recognize it completely."

After saying these words, the little maid who is not very smart seems to have finally entered the state, and realizes that she has not entertained guests yet.

So she quickly picked up her big teapot from the side and walked towards Nicholas Egg, while the latter continued to say to herself, "Oh, know the characters, that's enough, then you usually look at it... Hey wait, you hold What are you doing with the teapot?"

Nicholas Egg looked at Betty with a funny face (he really didn't have any other expressions to use), and then saw the dumb little maid speak seriously: "Mr. Egg, do you want some black tea?"

Nicholas Egg was stunned for a moment: "...You didn't realize that I didn't have a mouth all the time?!"

Betty seems to have seriously looked at the structure of the iron ball star in front of her, and turned around twice as if she was looking for an opening to pour tea in. After finding that she couldn't find it, she lengthened her voice and said "Hey—" : "Hey...really not!"

"Nonsense, it's not like you didn't know that my face was drawn on the surface," Nicholas shook his body and continued the topic just now, "Then if you can read, can you read the newspaper?"

"Newspaper... I can understand it, I usually read it," Betty nodded, with a happy look on her face, "The lord also gave me a set of stationery, including scissors and glue-he also taught me to like the newspapers The content is cut out and made into a book!"

After saying this, Betty wandered around Nicholas Egg again: "...Mr. Egg, you really can't drink tea."

Nicholas Egg couldn't understand why this little maid was so obsessed with serving tea to the guests, but he was really worried that this dull girl would have to drill a hole in himself to pour the tea in, so he patiently explained: "I told him You are different, I usually don't need to eat or drink water... Or, the way I eat is different from yours..."

Betty finally stopped wandering and looked at the metal ball in front of her with wide eyes and curiosity: "How does Mr. Egg usually eat?"

Nicholas Egg said casually: "Oh, usually it is absorbed by the body surface..."

As soon as he said this, he realized that the little maid next to him might have misunderstood, because the girl was sizing up and down his round body and shaking the big teapot in her hand, her face was full of eagerness to try, he saw Zang said quickly: "Hey, put away the thoughts in your mind - the body surface absorption I said does not include letting you water me!"

Betty's face suddenly showed a somewhat disappointed expression: "...Oh."

A question mark popped out of Nicholas Egg: "Why are you so obsessed with serving tea to guests?"

Betty showed her trademark sluggish expression again, and after two seconds of reaction, she suddenly said: "Sister Ginny said, she said that the most important thing for the maid in charge of receiving guests is to pour new tea for the guests in time..."

"Ginny..." Nicholas Egg recalled for a moment, and found that he had never heard the name, "Have you recruited a new maid in the lord's palace?"

Betty shook her head loudly: "No, Sister Ginny was the maid in the previous castle. She was responsible for entertaining guests and was the most powerful among us."

After she finished speaking, she paused, as if recalling something, and then said, "Sometimes she will sneak the leftover snacks from the guests to the kitchen and give us food..."

"The previous castle..." Nicholas Egg whispered, and understood what was going on.

He found Betty's mood down and realized that he had said something stupid before, which brought up this stupid topic.

However, he didn't know how to comfort a human being - this kind of upright creature with too complicated thinking and emotions has too many incomprehensible characteristics, far less simple and easy to understand than metal and machinery, he can only learn from what he used to listen to What humans often say when they comfort each other, they say dryly: "Don't be sad, everything will be fine."

"I'm not sad, I'm getting better," Betty shook her head, as if she had recovered herself. "Mrs. Vincent said that living is the most joyful thing."

Nicholas Egg floats quietly beside Betty, realizing once again that humans are really complex and interesting creatures.

And soon, the most complex and interesting of all the human beings he has ever known finally arrived.

Gawain pushed open the door of the study, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Betty holding a teapot and the big metal ball standing beside Betty, he showed a smile: "Nicholas, I heard that you brought a 'good thing' to give I read?"

Immediately behind Gawain, she stuck her head out again, and Rebecca squeezed into the study: "I'm here, I'm here - Mr. Egg, what did you get out of it?! Car engine or boat? bearing?"

In the entire "Cecil R&D and production system", the one most closely related to Nicholas Egg's machinery manufacturing institute is the Magic Technology Institute managed by Rebecca. The latter, as the main R&D department of practical technology, often Some blueprints that have been theoretically verified are entrusted to the Mechanical Research Institute for implementation, and such orders are usually beyond the processing capabilities of ordinary "Bachelor of Mechanics", and are generally handled by Nicholas Egg personally. Under normal circumstances, Nicholas Egg will always be in the hands of Taking several orders from Rebecca.

So when I heard that Nicholas Egg came to the lord's mansion with "good things", it was not Gawain who was most excited, but Rebecca.

On the other side, after saying hello to Nicholas Egg, Gawain looked at Betty, who was holding a teapot. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the teapot in his hand: "You didn't force our master craftsman to drink it. Tea?"

"Mr. Egg has no mouth," Betty shook her head, "he can't drink."

"...You," Gawain shook his head helplessly, rubbing the little girl's hair, "Go back and rest."

Betty left the room, Nicholas Egg came to Rebecca, and put the metal box that had always been floating near him on the ground: "Those two things are almost done, but what I brought today is Finished product for another order,"

The lock on the metal box automatically opened, and the lid popped up, and a metal roller device with a length of about 80 cm, rune interfaces visible on both ends, and a silver-white surface with subtle lines on the surface floated out from the inside.

A proud voice resounded in Nicholas Egg: "It is not easy to realize its function - although the principle and structure diagram are very clear, it is not easy to master the appropriate ratio of Mithril alloy, even I have tested it for a long time before Let it work stably. Miss Rebecca, accept your order."

"This..." Rebecca looked at the metal roller in surprise, "You finally succeeded!?"

After seeing the shape of the metal drum, Gawain vaguely guessed what it was, but still turned to Rebecca for confirmation: "This is—"

"This is the most important structure in the new printing press you mentioned earlier!" Rebecca smiled brightly, in order to design this thing, the Magic Technology Research Institute spent a lot of effort, "I call it 'Arcane Transfer Cartridge', with this, you need a fast plate making, easy editing, continuous printing, reusable printing press."

"Arcane transfer cylinder?" Gawain did not expect that Rebecca also learned his habit and coined a new term for Sheng, he repeated the word, and became curious about the metal cylinder in front of him, "Now I can demonstrate What? How does it work?"

"It also needs an input unit to work, but if you just want to see what it looks like when it starts up, you can directly inject magic into this part..." Rebecca said as she put her hand on the metal circle At one end of the barrel, "Carefully pour some magic power into it, and give the test symbol to... Hey, Lord Ancestor, what are you doing..."

Without waiting for the girl to "inject magic", Gawain pulled her hand aside: "I'll do it—you don't blow up the house again."

After he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Rebecca's pouting and sulking appearance, but under the guidance of Nicholas Egg, he put his hand on one end of the metal device.

A small amount of magic power was carefully poured into the metal cylinder.

After just a moment, lines and symbols emitting a faint blue light appeared neatly row after row on the surface of the silver-white metal cylinder.
