"Clockwork kinetic skeleton!"
Another beam of light fell from the sky and hit the Clockwork Exo beside Duke, allowing more people to see the Clockwork Exo.
"Oh!"
Hemmerdinger clasped his fingers together from the judging panel and looked at the Clockwork Power Exoskeleton that was slowly rising from the box. He said in a deep voice,"Give me a brief introduction of your work!”
"Yes, Professor!"
Duke stood beside his work, not affecting the audience's observation of his work. At the same time, he raised his voice and said,"Nature has given us wisdom, but it has also shackled us!”
" Humans can't race with horses, wrestle with lions, or compete with kangaroo in the long jump. While our body structure protects us, it also limits us!”
"I once heard that in the distant Ionia, Demacia, and Noxus, people there used years of cultivation to break through their limits and obtain superhuman strength!”
" The amount of time spent on this is perhaps enough for a babbling baby to grow into a high-spirited youth. The hardships involved are not worth mentioning to outsiders!”
"Life is only a hundred years. How many decades do we have to train ourselves and break through?”
"No, we can't afford to waste ten years!”
Duke looked at Hemmerdinger." Of course, Professor Hemmerdinger has a way to break this restriction. After all, he's a long-lived species with an enviable innate talent!”
"You flatter me. I've only grown a few years.”
Heimerdinger avoided the main topic and dwelled on the trivial matter. Longevity was a good thing, but for short-lived species, it was a mistake that made them crazy with jealousy. It was better not to mention it.
"But now, I brought change!”
Duke raised his arm and pointed at his Clockwork kinetic skeleton." That's the Clockwork kinetic skeleton, Orianna No.1!!”
"Looks like you have a successor, Mr. Colin!”
The craftsman beside Colin laughed and teased him. Colin said humbly,""He's still far from it. Besides, young people are just so bold!”
"This is a name given to me in memory of my first user, Miss Orianna Levick!”
At this moment, Duke looked at the door he had walked out of. Orianna was waving at him excitedly. Duke gave her a look, telling her to calm down.
"Then what can your Clockwork kinetic skeleton do, Mr. Duke?”
Senator Myers suddenly interrupted. Duke nodded and said,""That's a great question, Representative Myers!”
"Now, let us witness the future of Orianna Technologies, and Pi City's 100-year future!”
" Please welcome my assistant, Miss Orianna Levick!”
Duke swung his right arm and pointed straight at the entrance to the stage. Orianna walked out with a smile on her face.
Backstage.
"Looks like the other party has a strong stance!”
Victor smiled and said, but Jess was looking at Duke's work.""His Clockwork technology seems to be at the opposite end of the spectrum from our Hexagon Gem. We've introduced the power of magic, but he's made machinery to the extreme!”
"Let's take a look first!"
Victor patted his partner's shoulder. Jayce nodded solemnly, feeling a little apprehensive.
Duke, a strong opponent!
After Orianna went on stage, Duke asked her to stand beside him. He extended an invitation to Merle and Madam Guillermo, who were on stage."I wonder if I can ask the two representatives to come up and help me with a small test?”
"It's my honor!"
Mrs. Gilamain smiled as she walked onto the stage. Duke personally walked over and held her hand. As for Senator Myers, he was welcomed onto the stage by Orianna.
"What do you need us to do, Mr. Duke?”
Duke clapped his hands, and the staff brought over the props for the test. Each of them seemed to be very heavy.
"These are the props for the test. Please check their authenticity!”Duke handed a hammer to Catherine's mother, who took it with a smile and hit the iron block for the test.
Clang!
The loud knocking echoed throughout the theater.
"It's a very hard metal. Judging from its quality, its weight is far beyond the limits of ordinary people!”
"Alright, thank you for your assistance!”
"Now, let us witness a miracle!”
Duke helped Orianna put on the Clockwork kinetic skeleton. The whole process did not take more than a minute. During the installation process, Duke comforted her softly,"Don't be afraid. Be brave and do as we rehearsed!”
"I know!"
After Orianna put on the kinetic skeleton, Duke helped her unlock the safety lock. As the clockwork device started to operate, the joints of the clockwork kinetic skeleton on Orianna's body began to crackle, and the body began to operate.
"The Clockwork kinetic skeleton is the ultimate creation of Clockwork technology. Every transmission shaft and every joint is made up of dozens of clockwork kinetic machines. Small movements and small forces can generate powerful power to achieve a goal!”
At this moment, Orianna walked in front of a square piece of iron. She slowly bent down, grabbed the piece of iron with one hand, and raised it high. Then, she began to circle around the stage effortlessly.
"Beyond the limits of humanity!"
Duke spoke at the right time, and everyone below the stage looked surprised. It was a miracle that such a weak little girl could easily lift a piece of iron with the help of the Clockwork kinetic skeleton.
On the stage, Representative Myers was sizing up Orianna, trying to find some clues. However, other than the constantly operating exoskeleton, she could not see anything unusual.
"Orianna, put it down and begin the real test!”
"Alright!"
Orianna loosened her grip, and the metal piece fell to the ground with a loud echo. The judges below the stage exclaimed in unison.
"With the Clockwork kinetic skeleton, you can easily race with a horse!”
As Duke explained, Orianna got into a running stance. The Clockwork kinetic skeleton started to operate, and she shot out like an arrow.
Everyone could only see a blur.
In the audience, Camille whispered to Dakeer,"" Do everything you can to recruit him into Phiroth. No matter what Jestaris's creations are, Duke's discovery of Clockwork technology is enough to make him enter the history of Pi City.”
"Alright, Grandaunt."
"Continue watching."
Camille looked at the high-spirited young man on the stage and recalled a young man who always had a shy smile on his face and brought great changes to her life.
Unfortunately, he left and took her heart with him.
On the stage, Orianna ran around the stage crazily. She was so fast that Madam Guillamane subconsciously chased after her with her eyes.
"It can allow the user to compete with the flying bird!”
Orianna stopped in her tracks and bent her knees. She shot into the sky like a cannonball and easily touched the ceiling of the theater.
She landed lightly on the ground without a blush on her face, nor did she show any signs of injury.
"He could even kill a lion with his bare hands!”
Orianna threw a punch at the iron block, and it shattered into pieces.
"This is the Clockwork kinetic skeleton!”
Duke raised his hand and turned to the side, showing everyone Orianna, who was wearing a Clockwork kinetic skeleton." She is also the future of Pi City!”
"It's amazing, very amazing!"
Mrs. Guillermo, who had witnessed all of this on the stage, was deeply moved. Duke also bowed in time." If you don't mind, would you like to be the first person to take the public test, Mrs. Guillermo?”
"You mean I can do it too?"
"That's right. The second advantage of the Clockwork kinetic skeleton is that it's easy to use. You can use it even without training. Of course, the safety lock has to be locked well, or else there will be trouble!”
"Can I try?"
Merle, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke. Duke nodded."Of course!"
Next, Mrs. Guillamane and Senator Mayer tried the exoskeleton.
When Mrs. Guillamane put on the exoskeleton and jumped seven to eight meters high, she let out a cry of surprise that surprised everyone. Her eyes were filled with splendor, as if she had returned to her carefree teenage days.
As a councilman who dared to barge into his daughter's room with a hunting rifle and treated his daughter and her good friend as intruders, how could he be so weak?
It could even be said that Catherine had learned her shooting skills from her mother.
"I think I can go hunt dragon lizard now!”
"Of course you can. After all, you're still at your most energetic age!”
Duke agreed and sent the other party back to the judging panel.
After taking off the exoskeleton, Madam Guillamane was still immersed in the experience. With Orianna's help, after putting on the exoskeleton, she stomped her foot lightly, and the marble tiles under her feet exploded.
"Pure power!"
Mei Er raised her hand and looked at her gloved palm. She clenched her fist and her eyes were a little dazed.
"If I had this power back then, would I not have been exiled by my mother?”
Meyer tried to punch and smashed the test item. She subconsciously displayed the martial arts she had learned when she was young.
For a moment, Councilman Myers, who was jumping on the stage, made the audience exclaim.
"This is unbelievable!"
Victor's eyes lit up as he looked at the councilman who was jumping around the stage. He looked at his own legs and realized that he had actually rushed onto the stage.
"Victor!" By the time Jess realized this, it was already too late. Victor had already gone up on stage, but as a partner who would advance and retreat together, he could only smile awkwardly and go up behind Victor.
"It seems that Mr. Duke's design is indeed stunning. Even the other contestants can't help but come up on stage to explore it!”
Hemmerdinger, who was trying to smooth things over for Jess and Victor, who suddenly rushed onto the stage, smiled and spoke to the others. After Victor went on stage and came to Duke's side, he realized what he had done.
However, the thing he desired was right in front of him. How could he not ask?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Duke, I've disturbed your presentation!”
"Nothing, Victor. Can I call you that?”Duke didn't mind. Victor was grateful for Duke's generosity. If it were anyone else, they would have kicked him out long ago.
"Of course!"
"Then do you have anything to ask?”
" I…" Victor looked at his walking stick and then at the exoskeleton wearing Meyer. Meyer was radiant as if she had regained her confidence and understood some of her mother's ideas.
Only those who truly grasped power could understand the beauty of power.
" I…" Victor looked at his legs and took a deep breath." As you can see, I have been in poor health since I was young. I wonder if your work can help me get rid of the shackles of crutches?"”
"Of course!"
Duke called out to Orianna." Other than being used as a body enhancement device, exoskeletons can also bring good news to people with physical disability!”
"Orianna, help Mr. Victor change his clothes and let him experience it!”
"Alright!"
Everyone watched this scene with great interest. On the judging platform, Colin was almost drowned in the compliments of his peers. From today onwards, everyone would know Duke's name and that he was an apprentice of Colin Workshop!
Victor, who was wearing the exoskeleton, looked at Jess nervously and then at Duke. Duke explained the points that needed to be paid attention to."Don't be afraid, don't resist, imagine it as a part of you!”
"Yes!"
Victor let go of his crutch and took a deep breath. He took a step forward with his crippled right leg.
Victor took another step forward, followed by the third step, then the fourth step, and finally walked back and forth on the stage like a normal person.
Duke stood in the center of the stage, watching all of this with a smile on his face. He looked at the ecstatic Victor.
At this moment, Duke was the center of attention!
