Chapter 1893 The Origin of the Puppet

Unlike Jin Siqi who was grateful, Kailan, who was holding the fine gold revolver, had a depressed expression on his face.

Beating a stick and giving a sweet date is the way to control it.

Now that Kailan has been given a blow, it is necessary to give her a sweet date to soothe her soul.

So I slowed down my tone and said: "What I just said was indeed a bit harsh, but it was also because I was afraid that you would let down your adoptive father's good intentions. You must know that this revolver is not just a piece of fine gold, but It is filled with the adoptive father's ardent expectations for his future daughter-in-law, and I hope you can treat her well."

Kailan nodded aggrievedly.

Seeing that she was still in low spirits, I sighed helplessly and said, "Well, after you spend all your pocket money, I allow you to apply for some funds from me to use as pocket money, provided that you have clear accounts. , but the amount of pocket money spent again is not allowed to exceed half of your existing pocket money.”

Hearing this, Kailan suddenly became excited. First he shouted long live, then he hugged me and kissed me hard. Jin Siqi looked helpless and Daphne was shy.

After the weapons were delivered, the handover officer handed me another pocket watch. I looked at him in surprise, but saw him blinking and nodding. I immediately knew that this was Master Dewey's special decision to prevent Daphne from having any objections. Make arrangements.

Daphne loved this gift very much. She held it tightly in her arms and her excitement was palpable.

After doing all this, with the three women watching me off, I boarded the magic airship and sailed to Fort Vicky.

The airship arrived at Fort Vicky at noon the next day. After getting off the airship, I went straight to the Goblin Palace.

Calculating the time, Master Dewey and Master Hall should be studying ancient texts in the forbidden area, and perhaps Fred Alexander's coffin is also on display.

I feel funny when I think of the scene of the two asking a ball of memory magic for knowledge about ancient writing.

After entering the palace, I walked quickly towards the forbidden area. Along the way, there were many passing waiters who kept bowing to me.

When I arrived at the door of the forbidden area, I asked the two heavily armed dwarf guards guarding the door if Master Dewey was inside. After receiving a positive reply, I knocked on the door twice and opened the door directly without waiting for the reaction of the people inside. enter.

The scene in the forbidden area is exactly as I imagined. Master Dewey and Master Hall are holding a huge and thick book, constantly asking for advice from Fred Alexander, who has a memory of the magical state.

Faced with these two eager to learn juniors, Alexander also began to play the role of a professor, guiding and teaching them, almost to the point of answering all their questions and teaching them everything he had.

It is no wonder that with the collapse of the goblin rule, only a small group of surviving members of the goblin royal family have truly inherited the ancient civilization, as well as the goblins who took away a batch of historical documents and ancient texts in the name of robbery.

Fred Alexander, who has personally experienced this period of history, deeply admires the goblins' move. It is precisely because of their move that this last bit of ancient civilization has been preserved.

Once you have a good impression, you will naturally spare no effort in doing things.

One of them was teaching and the other two were studying. They were having a great time when they were suddenly interrupted by my intrusion. Master Hall immediately exploded. Without thinking, he shouted sternly: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed without permission?" How come anyone dares to step into a forbidden area? Is it Xiaoyi? Why are you here?"

This change of attitude made the two dwarf guards guarding the gate laugh.

I couldn't help but joked: "Why, I'm not welcome?"

Master Hall scratched his hair in embarrassment and said haha.

Master Dewey took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said with a warm smile, "I thought you would come back after lunch, but I didn't expect you to rush over here without stopping."

After saying that, he turned to Fred Alexander and said respectfully: "Allow me to have a meal with my son, and then I will continue to ask for advice."

Alexander smiled and nodded.

I saluted Alexander and then exited with Master Dewey.

On the way, I explained the artillery plan to Master Dewey in detail. Master Dewey patted my back with approval and said, "You did a good job in this matter. Gemstones are only priceless in the eyes of those who know how to appreciate them." A treasure, for those who don’t know how to appreciate it, it is just a beautiful stone.”

I was noncommittal about Master Dewey's metaphor. After thinking for a moment, I leaned down and whispered: "There are some components in that cannon that are too delicate to be replicated with today's technology. I suspect that their forging techniques come from ancient times." civilization."

"Ancient civilization." Master Dewey said thoughtfully: "If it is as you think, Fort Vicky's scientific and technological power will go even further."

"It's a pity that no matter how powerful the power of science and technology is, it will never be able to compete with personal force," I said regretfully.

"Not necessarily." Master Dewey shook his head and said, "There are precedents where the power of science and technology is better than personal force."

I frowned: "Are you referring to those puppets who are better than low-level adventurers?"

Master Dewey shook his head again and said: "Puppets made with today's technology can only cope with low-level adventurers at best, but it is said that during the goblin rule, someone once created a powerful puppet more than ten meters high. Its combat power can rival several people at the same time. name of national strength.”

"Can a puppet compete with several national powers?" I asked suspiciously.

Although I have watched Mr. Taylor brutally abuse the country's power before, I know very well that it is because Mr. Taylor's strength is as strong as cheating, not because the country's power is weak.

"I know you don't believe it. In fact, I didn't believe it at first," Master Dewey said. "On the way to deliver His Royal Highness Alexander's coffin here, I asked him to confirm the matter about the puppet. He told me that this matter is true. , similar puppets did exist, and after the death of His Highness Rupert, they were activated to fight against rebels of all races. Although they killed all sides in the battle, there were too many rebels, and there were also many in our own camp. Something went wrong, and eventually all the puppets were destroyed, and the puppet scientists were mercilessly killed, causing this civilization to be lost."

"That's a shame," I sighed, "It would be great if this technology could continue to this day."

"The loss of this technology means that the loss is not just as simple as a few puppets," Master Dewey said: "What is even more heartbreaking is that because of its loss, another ancient civilization has no trace."

"Are you saying that this kind of puppet is not a work of the goblin rule, but is inherited from ancient civilization?"

Master Dewey nodded and said: "His Royal Highness Alexander later told me that the puppet manufacturing technology during the goblin rule was actually based on the fragments of puppet manufacturing technology in ancient civilizations. When His Highness Alexander was young, his grandfather, His Highness Rupert once recited to him a ballad passed down from generation to generation by troubadours, which tells the story of a huge and unparalleled puppet mecha in ancient times, fighting against a dragon that suppressed the world."
