Collin Workshop, in the studio.
"Mr Colin!"
Duke, who was standing in front of the door, closed the door and looked at Colin, who had his back to him. Colin was standing in front of the workbench and looking at the tools on it.
"Duke!"
"Yes, Mr. Colin!"
"Everything you did today was too risky, you know?”
Colin, who was holding a small wrench, turned around with anger in his eyes. Duke shrunk his neck. This guy looked very angry.
However, he had indeed not thought about it at that time. When he saw the prosthetic leg, he was excited and instinctively dismantled and reassembled the prosthetic leg.
If he had such a chance, Duke felt that he would still make a mistake!
He couldn't help it, he really couldn't!
A brand new device that he had never seen or touched before was placed in front of him. He did not dismantle it immediately. He understood the internal structure and learned it at the same time. He really ruined the Iron Man character template.
It wasn't as if he hadn't gained anything. At least his Clockwork Technology had reached Specialist Level. If he wanted to go further, he would have to constantly improve his current technology.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Colin!" Duke, who was disdainful in his heart, revealed a sincere expression of apology. He had to give it a try. After all, he was still an apprentice in someone else's workshop.
"Sorry?" Colin threw the wrench on the workbench." Do you know the consequences of doing this?”
"Once you make a mistake in the process of dismantling and reassembling, will you bear the losses?”
"You've been working here for so long, so you know the price of a prosthetic leg very well. Can you afford it with your current salary?”
As Colin nagged non-stop, Duke lowered his head and looked at his toes, but his mind was thinking about the dismantling process.
In this world, Hextech had yet to be publicly announced. Green Steel Shadow was an exception, and she used the Hextech Primordial Crystal. This thing was rare to begin with, and it was equivalent to the heart of the Crystal Vanguard, the great scorpion race.
Primordial Crystals were rare and precious, and only those with magic talent could use them.
Man-made ones don't count!
Alchemy technology had just started at this time, and the alchemy technology enhancement had naturally not come out. Currently, the Collin Workshop controlled a large portion of the market for human prosthetic limbs.
After all, Clockwork Technology did have its own advantages. Who could guarantee that there would not be any accidents in life?
Moreover, the rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. Clockwork Technology's prosthetic limbs were still very expensive, and the price of the enhanced body was even more expensive.
He couldn't afford it even if he sold Duke!
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Colin!”
He had to admit that he had made a mistake, stand at attention when he was beaten, and be clear about his attitude. He could not give the other party a reason to nitpick. Anyway, he would make a mistake again next time. He had to get through this first.
"Humph!"
Collin snorted and opened his drawer. He took out a thick notebook and threw it on the table. Duke looked up and realized that it was Collin's personal manuscript.
"How far have you gone in your research of clockwork?”
"I know most of them, but I don't know what level I'm at!”
"Come over and show me!"
Colin pointed at the toolbox at the side." Just make a small gadget and let me see your current level.”
"Oh!"
Duke obediently walked to the toolbox and picked up a pile of parts. He picked up the tools and began to assemble them. Colin watched from the side.
Duke glanced at Collin and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he focused all his attention on the pile of parts in front of him. Screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, and so on were used. Duke's movements were clean and flowing, with a hint of beauty.
Colin looked at the gradually formed work with a hint of amazement in his eyes.
This kid actually gave him a big surprise without saying anything. Perhaps he could let him participate in his research project.
Not long after, a music box was made by Duke. Duke, who had wound up the spring, turned on the switch, and a simple jingle echoed in the studio.
"Your level is not bad!" No matter how amazed Colin was in his heart, he still forced himself to say it. He handed his notebook to Duke and said earnestly,"This is a private manuscript from when I was studying in the academy. It records some of my research on clockwork devices. Although it's a little outdated, you can continue to study it in depth.”
"You should know about the Bluescent Manor's evaluation meeting. If you can produce any stunning works, I will recommend you to participate in the evaluation meeting.”
"Yes, sir!"
After Duke took Colin's manuscript, he bowed to him obediently and left the workshop with the book in his arms. Colin leaned against the table and looked at the music box on the table. After winding it up again, he sighed."I'm really old!"
"However, there is still room for improvement. The Clockwork Enhancer is my next research direction. On the basis of prosthetic limbs, I will enhance its performance and achieve effects that far exceed humans.”
Listening to the music from the music box, Colin muttered to himself,""It's even possible to use Clockwork to create artificial organs!”
"But how should I do it?"
"Maybe Duke can help me. I brought him back with the intention of raising him as my son. Now, maybe it's time to hand over my legacy!”
Elsewhere, Duke was stopped by Orianna as he walked out of the workshop. She looked at the book in his hand and said in disbelief,""My father actually gave you the private manuscript he wrote when he was studying in the academy!”
"How far have your Clockwork skills gone?”
"At least a little stronger than you!"
Duke, who had flicked Orianna's head, chuckled.""Speaking of which, what's for lunch?"
"You still have the mood to eat?"
"Otherwise?"
"You've really gotten bold, Duke!”Orianna walked around Duke with her hands behind her back. In the end, she patted Duke's shoulders with both hands."But forget it. Since you've already asked what to eat for lunch, then eat something good to celebrate your father's approval!”
"Alright!"
Duke's face was filled with agreement, but he wasn't happy at all. This was just the beginning for him. Clockwork Technology was still a source of inspiration for him. Perhaps he could absorb more knowledge to help him develop his own technology system.
Moreover, the Clockwork artificial limb looked too weak. It would be great if it could be strengthened, just like Clockwork's spirit.
Duke's expression suddenly froze." Orianna?”
"Orianna?"
" Could it be?" Duke gulped as he looked at Orianna, who was counting on her fingers to tell him the menu." Orianna is the predecessor of Clockwork, and in this timeline, she hasn't been affected by Zuan's alchemical gas, and the Clockwork Device has just started.”
" But that's right. Right now, Vi is still a young girl, Catherine is still studying in the academy, Ezreal is still eating hair wax somewhere, and Ake is a little brat. It's normal that Orianna hasn't been born yet.”
"But if that's the case, then where are those heroes who have been famous for a long time?”
Duke suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Even though many heroes had yet to appear, this was only on the surface. A few heroes had been born in the Twin Cities a long time ago.
Not to mention anything else, just Qinggang Ying, Janna, and Heimerdinger had existed for a long time and had very powerful strength.
Duke felt a chill run down his spine." I can't be reckless now. I can show my talent, but I can't be reckless before I have the ability to protect myself!"”
"I have to think of a way to increase my strength. The first thing I have to do is to get money!”
Duke, who had a goal in mind, hugged the book in his hand tightly. This book might be able to provide him with some help, but the most important thing was to make money!
Ding!
The doorbell rang, interrupting Duke's thoughts. Orianna stopped drooling and walked to the door. A Pi City enforcer in a blue uniform stood at the door and smiled politely at Orianna." This is the assembly order!"
"Summon order?"
"That's right, tomorrow we'll have a trial for Jess of the Tallis family!”
"Mr. Enforcer, what did Senior Jess do?”
As a student of the academy, Orianna knew the name of Jestalus. The enforcer shook his head helplessly."This is not something you should know. You should give this summoning order to your father and tell him to be there tomorrow!”
"I still have another family to send off, so I'll take my leave for the time being!”
After taking off his hat, he left the Collin Workshop.
"Looks like the plot is about to officially begin!”
Duke looked at the letter container in Orianna's hand and turned to go up to the attic.
If he wanted to learn, Pantheon wouldn't be able to stop him!
