Chapter 102 Mechanical puppet
The name of the Saint Club is Panny heard from a guest, not in a state of consciousness, but in a drunken murmur.
It’s not that the news is false, but in fact, what is said in this state is more authentic.
Penny was not clear about the government agencies, but she was only careful when she saw the gentleman's expression sad.
In fact, Donald is also not familiar with the internal government agencies, but he still understands some basic systems. This so-called Saint Association does not look like a government agency based on its name.
If it weren't for a certain department or a certain bureau, it was the first time he had heard of such a name.
"What else did that man say?"
Although I don’t have much interest in gossip, the name of this Saint Society does sound attractive.
"I can't help but say that I'm in that position and have to do something, I've just listened to a part of the nonsense. Mr. Grant, haven't you told me that the Saint will be amazing?"
"It should be quite amazing. Didn't that person say he couldn't help himself? There must be something that he had to do, right?"
With a casual expression, Donald secretly wrote down the title and spent time in the theater.
Stephanie didn't ask him to wait too long, just about an hour. As more and more people in the theater were, most of the people in the lounge were the top players. If you were lazy during work, you would be blamed by the boss.
"Why would you just go to bed here today? The bed in the store may be more comfortable than the villa in the team, and there are people who can warm the bed."
Back on the streets of Xuanjinkou, there has been a significant increase in passers-by.
"Haha, that's not OK. Finger is still waiting for me to feed him at home... Have you got any information about those two things?"
Staying outside for one night, Donald was worried that he would not be able to go back the next day...
"I asked them to help me pay attention to the disappearance case and the finger-breaking case. Now I don't have much information. It's better to say that it's from those two cases, but rather that it's some rumors about the Tart family, not only in the near future, but also some that they accidentally recorded after hearing it."
The sisters in the store are not professional intelligence collectors. In the past, they would pay more attention to the topics they like. Stephanie didn't expect to be able to get into details by visiting them. She could only ask them to pay attention to the news in the near future.
"Rumor? Let's hear it."
Looking at me, my thumb rubbed the silver paint on my cane, which was a bit rough. I looked down and found that there were several scratches.
Before I knew it, it seemed that it had been a while since I came to this world.
"Wesley Tate, the current head of the Tate family, heard that he is a vegetarian. This is almost a consensus among the upper class. You should understand that this is a very strange thing. He seems to be the only one of the upper class people who have this habit in Demingham."
Stephanie didn't notice some change in Donald's mood and spoke.
“Vegetarian?”
There is no such thing as God's virtue in this era. Vegetables can always be side dishes on the dining table. Even the orthodox church has a slight precept of banning meat, which at most requires no meat minced for a few days of the year.
"It can be said that it's not clear how long it took, but it must be a while since he went out to attend a banquet and had to have a chef who specially cooked his meals."
Vegetarians are strange in the eyes of the upper class. Only the poor and inferior people will live with vegetable soup or potato cakes all day long.
The girls in the store will remember this, probably for this reason.
"There's another thing, there seems to be some strange rumor in the identity of Matil Tate."
Speaking of this, Stephanie took out her notes and looked at the records on it before continuing,
"Some people say that Matil Tate is an illegitimate daughter because she never mentioned her mother in public. In fact... Wesley Tate has never mentioned her wife, I am talking about the real wife."
"It's not surprising that the illegitimate daughter is, but what does it mean not to mention her own wife?"
It is common for a noble to have an illegitimate child or an illegitimate daughter. Some tabloids in Deminghan are thinking about who is whose illegitimate child all day long.
"It's all rumors. Although Wesley Tate has a wife, she has not been in the Tate family estate almost all year round. Instead, she stays in her hometown. Most people have never seen this couple appear together. There may be a conflict, but even so, Matil Tate is still very favored. She almost meets every request in Wesley Tate. For example, the restaurant we went to before was a birthday gift that Wesley Tate bought for her. All the income from the restaurant was her pocket money... It's great."
It is fake to say that you don’t envy it, but when you talk about Matil Tate in the lounge, it’s full of sighs.
"I'm basically in a state of never having sex with my wife, but I always respond to my daughter. It seems that Wesley Tate loves his daughter very much. Just like this time I was kidnapped, the noise was so big, and such a high reward was all given out. I probably would have to double it in a while."
Nard did not find any special information from the two things Stephanie said, and could only listen to them as rumors and gossip.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when we returned to the villa. Because we didn't eat dinner, the two got off at the entrance of the restaurant near the villa and ate some casually. Donald also took a special portion of grilled fish and sausage from the store and packed it in his hand.
"Did you hear what the guest next to you just now?"
Bypassing a newspaper booth, Stephanie stood under the street lights, dragging a long shadow behind her.
"Mechanical Puppet?"
The restaurant they went to had brought them to before. It was a restaurant with good taste nearby, so there were naturally many customers.
While they were having dinner, the people at the next table were talking about mechanical puppets. At that time, Stephanie felt that the noise wanted them to calm down, but Donald stopped them.
Mechanical puppets are the latest news from Whale Island. It is said that external propaganda is a major progress in core technology in a certain aspect, which has brought the development of mechanical puppets to a new stage. It is very likely that some pioneer products will be launched in the near future.
It was the first time Donald heard of something like mechanical puppets. He had seen introductions such as elemental puppets and alchemy puppets in spell books. There is also a soul guard with a more similar function in the second-level runes in the inscription notes.
But Donald has never seen a mechanical puppet.
When he heard those people discussing, what he thought was that the technological level of the world could already make such things?
"Do you think mechanical puppets can replace police? I just heard them say that the government seems to be very interested in this technology, and maybe let mechanical puppets be Demingham's daily patrol guards."
For most people, not to mention mechanical puppets, ordinary alchemy puppets have never seen one. They are curious for sure.
"I don't know this either. I was born in Puston, where cars are rare, let alone mechanical puppets... When you mention this, even I'm a little expecting. I'm actually going to let mechanical puppets be city guards. I really want to know how they did it."
In Donald's understanding, mechanical puppets are equivalent to robots, which are carriers of a lot of data seen in some works in previous lives or some human-like things composed of various integrated circuits. They always feel that they have nothing to do with this world.
"Wait, I seemed to have seen a sketch in their hands just now. I heard that someone found it from the trash can when they were delivering goods to Whale Island. I'll get it."
Before Donald could speak, Stephanie trotted back all the way, and after waiting for a while, she saw her running back with a yellowed drawing in her hand.
"Donald, look, the draft design of the mechanical puppet."
"They actually gave you...have you used small means?"
Donald looked at the flying insects outside the street lampshade next to him and asked after taking the drawings.
"Anyway, they don't know how many times they have read it, so it's nothing to show us."
Blinking his eyes twice, Stephanie put on an innocent face.
The whole drawing is indeed just a draft, and it is also a sketch. It probably has the shape of two mechanical puppets, both of which look a little... Curious.
One is a triangular head, human-shaped, but the legs and arms are long, and the ends of the arms seem to extend out two sharp blades.
A headless robot has only two legs and the upper part of the body, with three-barrel guns hanging on both sides.
"Do you think this kind of thing can be made now?"
Looking at the image on the sketch, Donald imagined the physical appearance of these two mechanical puppets...
For the first time, Donald felt that his imagination was a bit lacking.
"The two of you just said that you will be able to produce pilot products for a while. You won't know that at that time, mechanical puppets, the entire Ryan Empire are the first, right? Just like the improved version of the airship..."
"This bold idea was realized, it was a revolutionary invention, tsk... I, a person who came out of the religious district, was really scared."
The wave of industry is particularly fierce in this world, and many ideas that were not too late to propose and realized in previous lives seem to have the opportunity to flourish in this world.
"Donald...Donald!"
Stephanie suddenly slapped his arm twice and deliberately lowered her voice.
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
He looked up at Stephanie blankly, but was pulled and dragged by her to the back of the shelves outside a garment store next to him.
"Look over there, Horn seems to be arguing with someone."
Stephanie has a bad impression of the captain of the Rose Team. She has been in contact since the beginning of joining the team. She even didn't understand why Susanna was so obsessed with him, so naturally she didn't have much respect.
