Three days later.
Colin Workshop, reception room.
"Duke, this is the first payment. I've exchanged it for gems and checks of equivalent value!”
Merle sat on the sofa opposite Duke. She took a box from her secretary and placed it on the table. Duke looked at the box made of ebony, which was twice the size of an ordinary jewelry box, and nodded.
"Sorry to trouble you, Representative Myers!”
"Nothing, I just hope that you can publish new works again. The Clockwork kinetic skeleton has a wide range of applications, and the buyers are not just from Pi City!”
Merle smiled at Duke. Duke took the box, opened it, and quietly absorbed the Wealth points. Then, he said casually,"What, a member of the parliament wants to be a broker?”
"I just can't bear to see a talented genius inventor's research stagnate because of insufficient funds!”
"I'll find time to make a new work. Based on the upgraded version of Orianna's first generation, I'll give you an answer in a month. I don't care who your buyer is or who you want to sell to.”
"Of course, no problem. I'll help you take care of everything!”
Merle reached out her hand with a smile in her eyes. Duke gently held her hand and shook his fingers. A hint of disappointment appeared in Merle's eyes, but she still smiled and said goodbye to Duke."See you later!"
"Goodbye, Representative Myers!"
Duke sent Mei Er to the door and watched her board the carriage. Then, a sentence suddenly entered his ears.
"I don't like her!"
Dressed in his academy uniform, Jinx carried his bag and watched as the carriage disappeared at the end of the street. Duke stepped aside and said,""Some things can't be decided by whether you like it or not!”
"This is the world of adults!"
"But I'm still a child. I have the right to say no, right?”
"Of course!"
Duke pulled Jinx into the workshop." What did you learn today?”
" The gears of the clockwork mechanism are not interesting at all. I prefer exciting content!”
"I think you'll be disappointed. There's no such thing as a vigorous scientific research project in the academy!”
Duke and Jynx chatted and laughed, and their voices gradually disappeared.
After dinner, Duke returned to his room and closed the door. He sat in front of his desk and opened his personal panel.

Looking at the Wealth on the interface, Duke took a deep breath.""Sure enough, this is the fastest way to earn money. According to the ten-to-one ratio, the first batch of payment is worth more than 500,000 gold coins!”
"I didn't expect this!"
Duke looked at his Wealth and immediately chose to unlock more modules. His Wealth decreased rapidly like water. When he was only left with 12,000, Duke stopped unlocking. He decided to unlock this much for now!
Only by investing would there be an output!
If he didn't unlock these, he wouldn't be able to successfully create his second product.
"With Clockwork technology as the backbone, alchemical technology as the bloodline, and the Hex Primordial Crystal as the core, what kind of sparks can be produced when the three completely different technological systems are combined?”
Duke took out his modified design. The original design of the Pegasus had been modified beyond recognition by him, and now it was replaced by a domineering motorcycle with a dragon head.
"However, I need to take the risk and try the Hexagon Primordial Crystal!”
Duke put away the design and his eyes lit up. He made up his mind." But for the mission reward, I'm worth a try!"”
"But before that, let's draw ten times in a row and see how lucky we are!”
Duke clicked on the lucky draw, and 10,000 Wealth points instantly disappeared. As the fine mist in the Krypton Gold Pool spread, ten blue question mark light balls flew out of the pool and exploded one after another.

10 lines of black text floated past Duke's eyes. He looked at the 10 prizes in his inventory and rubbed his hands. He took out the two famous weapons, Ebony and Ivory.
Ebony held on the left, responsible for long-range targets, while Ivory held on the right, responsible for close-range shooting.
"It just so happens that it can complement my gunfighting technique. I was just worried that Death Knell's gun could not keep up with my improvement speed, but now I have a new weapon!”
Duke, who was playing with the two legendary weapons for a while, looked at the remaining nine prizes one by one. His eyes shone brightly." Many things can be applied to my design, whether it's liquid metal, Arce's remains, or nanomachines!”
"Then it's time to start moving!"
Duke, who was looking at the dark night outside the window, took a deep breath. Tonight, he was going to burn joss paper for Camille's ancestor, Alicia Phiroth.
............
Bluescent Manor, cemetery.
The moon was bright, and there was no one around.
In the dark night, a figure silently streaked across the night sky like a bat and landed in the family cemetery of the Phiroth family. A faint red light flashed across the night.
"Am I on the verge of courting death?”
Duke looked at the four to five meters tall wall behind him and laughed at himself. However, he did not forget the purpose of his visit this time, the Hexagon Primordial Crystal in the coffin of the ancestor of the Green Steel Shadow Camille.
It was also the clue that Duke had obtained when he accidentally activated the Loom of Fate fragment during his first lottery draw.
Who would have thought that a treasure like the Hex Primordial Crystal would be buried in Alicia Phiroth's tomb?
"Wally, activate the night vision function. Also, help me detect any life activity within a one kilometer radius from me. If anyone approaches, inform me immediately!”
"Yes, Father!"
A faint red light filled Duke's vision. Everything in the dark night instantly became bright in his eyes. Duke walked past the tombstones and looked at the dead of the Phiroth family.
The environment of the cemetery was deep and serene, and the flowers and plants were growing evenly. It seemed that there were often gardeners who came to trim them.
Other than the direct descendants of the Phiroth family, there were also some people who had made great contributions to the Phiroth family.
Among them were craftsmen, butlers, and guards.
"It seems that Phiroth is more humane than I thought!”
Duke sighed and stopped in front of a tombstone." But considering what I've done, I don't think you'll be so merciful to me!”
"But for the sake of research, this risk is worth taking!”
"Hurry up and take the crystal away. Quickly restore the tomb and finish everything without anyone noticing!”
Duke, who was constantly cheering himself on, raised his hand and took out a shovel. He apologized to the tombstone in front of him and began to dig.
The shadows of the shovel kept flying, and the grass was flying. The moist soil was exposed to the air. In order not to expose his plan, Duke's movements were very clean.
When Duke saw Alicia's coffin, he stopped the shovel in his hand and went into the pit to carry Alicia's coffin up.
Duke, who had a guilty conscience, carefully looked around before looking at Alicia's coffin.
The color of the coffin was dark gray, just like Phiroth's favorite color. The coffin lid was carved with the owner's life and past. He had entered the desert alone and chose to return the way he came after investigating.
On the second trip, Alicia, who was leading a camel team, found a huge crystal scorpion in a valley in Shurima.
Alicia had taken a crystal from the Giant Crystal Scorpion's body, but she did not expect to alarm the other party. In the end, they defeated the Giant Crystal Scorpion. Alicia brought back the Primordial Crystal and lost an arm.
This picture was the most important part of the coffin lid. The rest was about how Alicia led her people to forge ahead, stabilize the status of the Phiroth family, and decided to live behind the scenes. At the same time, there were also some trivial daily matters.
The embossed sculpture was very vivid, and it also recorded in detail the history of the Phiroth family's rise, as well as the reason why they were so unknown.
After obtaining the Hex Primordial Crystal, the Phiroth Family chose to hide behind the scenes. They didn't control Pi City in a high-profile manner. They knew that it would kill Pi City's future and creativity.
What they needed was a vibrant Pi City with a long-term future, not a lifeless city.
There were mechanical locks on both sides of the coffin. The first lock required the cooperation of both sides to open. There was also a mechanical lock on the inside. The second lock required the cooperation of the inside and outside.
This was almost impossible for ordinary people, but it was extremely easy for Duke.
Duke opened his mask and exhaled a breath with blue light spots on it. The blue light spots floated into the lock of the coffin.
The lock was given life by Duke, and it automatically opened.
Patter, patter!
After two soft sounds, Duke gently opened the coffin and saw what was inside.
A lady in a luxurious dress lay peacefully on the ground. There was a fist-sized crystal on her chest, and the crystal was emitting a faint blue light, illuminating Duke's face.
The moment the crystal entered Duke's eyes, an invisible wave spread out and engulfed the entire Phiroth Manor.
"This is it!"
At the same time, in a room in the Phiroth family.
A pair of deep blue eyes suddenly opened and looked in the direction of the cemetery.
Tonight it exploded,
