Chapter 1055 Metal Monster
Sitting in the belly of an unfamiliar metal monster, especially next to his father who was capable of beating him half to death, Marquis Farshed's restraint was incomprehensible to ordinary people. But even if you don’t dare to touch and touch it everywhere, you can always take a look. Therefore, with his curious eyes, he kept observing the interior of Kaweigong's customized car.
The interior design of the customized car is already at the level of a 21st century vehicle on earth. In particular, the various programmed control functions and panels cooperate with Midi's research on the artificial soul of the 'golem'. Not to mention autonomous driving, as long as someone is willing to put in the effort, it is not a big problem to build a car that is the crystallization of cutting-edge technology in the old TV series "Knight Rider".
But driving is just like flying, controllability is a very important experience. This kind of experience will have to wait until driving or flying is completely integrated into life and becomes the same thing as breathing, eating, and drinking. Only then will some people get bored and consider so-called "automation". Until then, I'm not busy getting all the good stuff in place at once. There is no financial benefit and it is a waste of time.
But even so, for the Midi bumpkin, everything inside the customized car is novel. And seeing his biological father controlling this metal monster like an arm and a finger, Marquis Farshid's awe and fear gradually faded away. His strong curiosity made him reach out his hand involuntarily and touch everywhere.
There is one scene inside the car, and another scene outside the car.
The unprecedented metal monster is racing on the main road of the capital, which will certainly attract the attention of everyone passing by. Even though this custom-made car was not moving at full speed under the control of the Grand Duke, its speed was still unmatched by other nobles' carriages.
Fortunately, the capital of the Gwana Empire has a large number of nobles, so the main roads are planned to be particularly wide. The purpose is to separate the nobles riding horses or carriages from the roads used by pedestrians to avoid accidents. The Grand Duke drove on such a road, shuttling through the gaps between carriages.
It's not like no one wants to stop this rampaging metal monster. After all, it snakes forward and often passes other carriages, which is quite dangerous. But firstly, it didn't hit anyone; secondly, it was very fast; and most importantly, the family crest of Duke Kawei was right on the front of the metal monster. It's so big and conspicuous that even if you want to pretend you can't see it, you can't.
As a long-established nobleman, Duke Kawei's family reputation is quite good. But no matter how kind the nobles are, they are not easy targets for common people to offend. Not to mention that the other party is a family known for their martial arts. To put it simply, they are particularly good at fighting. You don't want to provoke such an opponent, so some people who were eager to try and bravely chose to back down. Anyway, nothing happened.
However, although the invasion warning previously activated by the city gate guards was later explained to be a false alarm, it was actually the Grand Duke of Kawei who was driving the car. However, the capital defense system that has been activated has already drawn the attention of all interested people to this car that has just entered the city.
The undercurrent that had been surging in the past two or three days had calmed down a bit because of Marquis Farshed's avoidance, but now it was raging again. Each family also sent their own spies, wanting to see what the so-called 'car' was at the first possible moment.
It was just that the Grand Duke was driving the car happily, and those who wanted to see the car, including those who had accompanied Marquis Farshid to greet him at the city gate, suffered a lot.
It's okay for the people sent by other families, but they just heard that the car was going somewhere. When they ran to their destination with their proudly fast legs, they couldn't even catch the car's fart, so they could only inquire again. Those who were smart enough ran to the door of Grand Duke Kawei's mansion early to wait.
Those who followed Marquis Farshid, as well as the deacon who was originally sitting in the passenger seat of the car as the backup driver, all clung to the outer edge of the carriage and struggled to catch up. As attendants, it was of course impossible for them to sit in the carriage with their master. Either sit in a special seat for the attendants, or hang on the side of the car, or you can only follow on two legs.
Just to keep up with the speed of the car, some people originally followed on two legs, but eventually they all got on the speeding carriage. But when they all got on the carriage, the overloaded weight added to the overloaded two horses, so the speed slowed down.
Later, some people who were confident that their distance would not be lost to horses simply got off the overloaded carriage. Relying on his familiarity with the capital and the flexibility of a single person to move quickly through the streets, he could barely see the taillights of this specially customized car.
This is because they are not allowed to use their combat skills in the city without any reason. Otherwise, there will be chaos everywhere, not only the guards of the capital will come to visit, but also the grand duke will lose face.
After finally arriving at the gate of the Duke's mansion, the locked door prevented the owner from entering. Duke Kawei wanted to activate his 'Brutal Crash' ability and crash directly into the door. Considering that this is my own mansion, I gave up.
Marquis Farshid wanted to get out of the car and call the door. Fortunately, it didn't take long before the followers who were chasing after him appeared. It was their duty to call the door, so even though they were out of breath, they still shouted to the gatekeeper in the mansion: "The Grand Duke has arrived, open the door quickly."
In fact, when the gatekeeper saw the huge family crest in front of the car, he planned to open the door. It's just that they have never seen such a metal monster before, which makes them hesitate again. Fortunately, the people who called at the door were all known to each other, and they were indeed knights serving in the family. This gave them the courage to open the heavy door.
Before the iron gate could be fully opened and opened enough to get in, the Grand Duke stepped on the accelerator, drove the car and rushed in, stopping in the middle of the courtyard. Then he opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked towards the main house. While saying, "I'm so hungry," he shouted to the chefs serving in the mansion to prepare lunch.
In fact, Midi does not have the habit of having lunch, even among the nobles. But the difference between nobles and commoners is that they have "afternoon tea", an activity that has both social and filling functions.
However, Mr. Kawei has been hanging out with Guy Blasch Tripwood for a long time. Not only his taste, but also his habits were affected by the heir to the great foodie empire. So at this time, which was close to noon, he felt hungry.
As for the people who use the Duke's mansion, they are used to their head's fickle attitude. After giving the order, everyone naturally started to move and do their best. No matter how unreasonable the request is.
What to do with the car parked in the middle of the courtyard? Waiting in the courtyard, the boy in charge of the stables looked on dumbfounded. His original duty was to take the horses back to the stables and take good care of them after the family dignitaries returned. But this metal monster seems to have nowhere to hold it...
