The next day.
Colin Workshop, attic.
"It's still not enough. The parallel gear sets have no energy connection, so it's difficult to self-check. If I had artificial intelligence to calculate now, it would be much simpler. But there's no such thing. At this stage, I can only calculate manually!”
Duke, who hadn't slept for the whole night, had two big dark circles under his eyes. He looked at the pile of draft drawings in front of him. There were more than 30 drafts of Clockwork warframe that he had conceived, and all kinds of calculations were piled on the ground.
"Manual calculations are still too troublesome, but I can't give these calculations to others. If they leak out, it will be detrimental to my plan!”
" Maybe I can install a small power generator inside the warframe to connect the power to the electric current. Also, I can set up a corresponding alarm device. Once the electric current is disconnected somewhere, I can easily determine the damage.”
Duke, who was slowly sorting out the manuscripts, collected all the sketches. He tore up the useless ones, bound the useful ones, and put them in the drawer. As for the rough drafts of the calculations, he also disposed of them.
Dong dong dong…
"Duke, are you awake?"
As Orianna knocked on the door, she said impatiently,""Father asked me to come here to call you. We're going to the parliament!”
"I got it. I'll come out immediately. You and Mr. Colin wait for me outside!”
"It'll be done soon!"
Duke replied loudly. His hands didn't stop moving. He picked up his purse, tidied his messy clothes, and left the attic.
When he went down the stairs to the hall on the first floor, he found that Colin and Orianna were already prepared. The two of them were dressed formally. Colin held a clockwork cane in one hand and a pocket watch in the other.
"You didn't sleep last night?"
Noticing the dark circles under Duke's eyes, Collin was a little emotional, but also a little unhappy." Your health is your capital. Don't overexert your health recklessly. Young people should know how to exercise restraint and self-discipline!”
"I was just too excited. After receiving Mr. Colin's diary last night, I was a little too excited for a moment.”
Duke rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly. Orianna stuck out her tongue in surprise. She finally understood why her father had told her to get closer to Duke last night.
He was planning to groom Duke as his true successor. He had even given away his treasured personal notes. To a craftsman, his personal notes were the foundation of his life. Once they were leaked, his skills would also be leaked. The consequences would be the lightest.
Moreover, if he were to nurture Duke, wouldn't he also be able to do so?
Orianna's smile instantly turned red. She glanced at Duke, who was beside her. Duke's mind was filled with calculations, even though he was still doing mental calculations.
Duke scratched his head and smiled foolishly at Orianna's gaze.
"Idiot!"
Orianna snorted and held her father's arm. The three of them walked out of the Collin Workshop.
After closing the shop, the three of them left the wealthy district along the street and went to a finished clothing store before going to the parliament building.
Not long after, Duke, who had changed into a fitting blue suit, pulled the tie around his neck as he followed behind Colin and his daughter, sizing up the surroundings.
At the same time, a family of four walked past him. A couple and a bearded man. The man and the bearded man were talking behind him, as if they were arguing about something. The woman was holding the hand of a little blonde. The other party had a face full of admiration and admiration for his mother, chattering non-stop.
"Ugh!"
The moment Duke saw Blondie, he felt the rancid taste of milk filling his mouth again, making him feel nauseous.
"Mother, you and Father are going to Shurima next. Can you bring me along?”
"I'm sorry, my little cake. You're still too young.”
The woman patted Blondie's head with a doting expression. She noticed Duke's gaze and smiled politely at him. Duke could only suppress his nausea and smile politely.
"Are you really going to explore Shurima?”
"Don't worry, Lemir. It's just a normal field trip. Once we find what we want, we'll come back immediately!”
The man with long brown hair patted his brother-in-law's shoulder, indicating that he did not need to worry. The bearded man looked at the blonde with worry in his eyes."Alright, but when do you plan to leave?”
"Three days later, we'll set off in three days. Before that, we'll spend more time with Ezreal!”
"That's for the best!"
The conversation between the two men drifted into Duke's ears. Although he had already guessed it, he was still a little surprised when he confirmed it.
When Ezreal was young, he looked only a few years younger than him, about the same age as Jynx!
However, looking at her lively and active appearance, it could be inferred that she would not be a well-behaved person in the future, especially since although she was young, her face had already shown the excellent genes of her parents. She would definitely be a good hair waxer in the future.
After all, this guy was trapped in a dangerous place. When he ran out of supplies, he would eat hair wax!
"This hooligan!"
Recalling the fear of his jungler being dragged down by Ezreal at the bottom lane, Duke's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
One god leading three pits, and the pain of a big hooligan, everyone understood!!
At this moment, the young Ezreal looked over and noticed Duke's gnashing teeth. Instead of being afraid, he made a face and tried to scare Duke.
At the same time, the rancid taste in Duke's mouth became even stronger. He wished he could drink water and rinse his mouth right now.
Pa!
Orianna slapped him on the head and held his hand. She smiled apologetically at Ezreal's mother and whispered,""Don't scare the children!"
"I just remembered some bad memories!”
Duke, who was led by Orianna, explained in a low voice. After leaving Ezreal, he suddenly realized that the sour taste in his mouth had suddenly lessened.
Duke turned around and looked at Ezreal, a thought forming in his mind.
"In the background story, Ezreal has an unimaginable talent in arcana. When people with arcana talent encounter strong magic waves, their bodies will naturally react.”
"And this reaction is the sour taste produced in the mouth!”
"Could it be that the original body also has magic talent, and I just happened to activate it when I transmigrated?”Duke had a guess in his mind. As soon as this guess appeared, his entire body trembled with excitement." If it's really as I guessed, then what is my talent?”
" Ezreal has a strong talent in arcana. He became a famous hero with the help of the Nyzuk armguard. Although he is still young, his talent in arcana has already begun to show. I sensed the magical waves emitted from his body, so there was a reaction.”
"In that case, I have to thank this guy. If not for him, I might not have noticed the changes in my body for a while!”
Duke looked at Ezreal once more, feeling a little conflicted. In his previous life, he had been tricked by Ezreal, which made him feel a little bit of hostility towards Ezreal. But now that he had seen Ezreal in person, he was inspired.
"I can only say that the world is wonderful!”
Duke was filled with emotions. Colin, who noticed Duke's gaze, took the initiative to say,"The four of them are from a famous explorer family in Pi City. Although they are not craftsmen, they are still the guests of many families. After all, the difficulty of exploring the unknown is far less than digging up the mysteries of the past!”
"If you're interested in them, I can bring you to visit them!”
" This…" Duke looked at his cheap boss and felt a little amused and touched. The other party was really good to him. Perhaps he should study more about Clockwork Technologies!
"Thank you, boss!"
"Alright, stop talking. The parliament is here!”
A tall white building that reached the clouds appeared in front of the three of them. All the families and craftsmen in Pi City had been summoned by the parliament and were rushing here.
At first glance, all kinds of formal attire greeted his eyes. There were law enforcers at the door to maintain order, and at the same time, the carriages of many large families were parked in front of the parliament building.
"Looks like there's going to be some fun to watch today!"
Duke followed behind his boss and began to line up. At this moment, a commotion was heard. A low-key carriage stopped by the side of the road, and a tall woman stepped out.
"Don't look too much. They're from the Phiroth family!”
Collin poked Duke's foot with his cane." The other party is also one of the main controllers of the Bluesmoke Manor. Although his reputation is not prominent now, his background is shocking!”
"Don't be so rude!"
"Yes, sir!"
Duke retracted his gaze and obediently followed behind his boss. He didn't want to attract the other party's attention right now. Squatting Grass 'Green Steel Shadow was very terrifying!
