Chapter 267
Saintess is the name Penny heard from a guest, not when she was sane, but when she was drunk.
It’s not that the news is false, in fact, the truth is higher in this state.
Penny didn’t know much about government agencies, but she noticed the sadness on the gentleman’s face at the time.
In fact, Donald is also unfamiliar with the internal institutions of the government, but he still understands some basic systems. This so-called Saintess Club, judging from the name, does not look like a government institution.
It was the first time he had heard of such a name if it were not a certain department or a certain bureau.
“What else did that person say?”
Although not too interested in gossip, the name of the Saintess Club does sound appealing.
“I only heard part of the nonsense that I was involuntarily in that position and had to do something, Mr. Grant, you haven’t told me how good Saintess will be Isn’t it?”
“It should be very powerful, didn’t that person say that he was involuntarily, there must be something to do, right?”
He agreed casually. In a word, Donald secretly wrote down the name and passed the time in the theater.
Stephanie didn’t make him wait too long, that is, about an hour. As the number of people in the theater increased, and most of the ones in the lounge were the top ones, it was necessary to be lazy during work hours. Blamed by the Boss.
“Why don’t you just sleep here today? Maybe the bed in the store is more comfortable than the team’s villa, and someone will warm the bed.”
Return On the streets of Pinjinwei, the number of passers-by has increased significantly.
“Haha, that’s not good, Finger is still at home waiting for me to feed…Any information about those two things?”
in Staying here for one night, Donald is worried that he will not be able to go back the next day…
“I asked them to help me pay attention to the disappearance case and the amputated finger case, and the information collected now is not good enough. Not much, it’s not so much about those two cases, it’s more about some rumors about the Tate family, not only in the recent past, but also some inadvertently written down after they heard it in the past.”
The sisters in the store are not professional intelligence collectors. Usually, they pay more attention to topics they like. Stephanie doesn’t expect to be able to touch the details in one visit. She can only ask them to pay attention in the near future. news on this.
“The rumor? Let’s hear it.”
Looking at the front, his thumb rubbed the silver paint on the cane, which was a little rough. Road scratches.
Unconsciously, it seems that it has been a while since I came to this world.
“Wesley Tate, the current patriarch of the Tate family, heard that he is a vegetarian, this is almost a consensus of the upper class, you should understand, this is a very rare thing , he seems to be the only high-class person in the whole Demingham who has this habit.”
Stephanie did not notice the change in Donald’s mood and said.
“Vegetarian?”
There is no such thing as a good life in this era. Vegetables can only be side dishes on the table, even in the orthodox church. There is also a slight prohibition of meat and fishy precepts, at most it stipulates that certain days of the year not to eat minced meat.
“It can be said that I don’t know how long it has been, but it must have been some time. When he goes out to participate in a banquet, a chef must prepare a special meal for him.”
In the eyes of the upper class, vegetarianism is a very strange thing, only the poor and the others will live on vegetable soup or potato cakes all day long.
The girls in the store will remember this probably for a reason.
“There is another thing, there seems to be some strange rumors about Mathiere Tate’s identity.”
Speaking of this, Stephanie also specially took out The note looked at the record before continuing,
“Some people say Mathil Tate is an illegitimate daughter because she never mentioned her mother in public, in fact… ….Wesley Tate also didn’t mention his wife, I’m talking about his real wife.”
“It’s not surprising that an illegitimate daughter is, but he doesn’t mention his wife is What do you mean?”
It’s not uncommon for nobles to have illegal children or illegitimate daughters, and some Demingham tabloids spend their days wondering who’s the illegal child.
“It’s all rumors, saying that although Wesley Tate has a wife, he is not at the Tate family manor almost all the year round, but has been staying in his hometown, and most people haven’t seen it. There may be contradictions when this couple appears together, but even so, Mathil Tate is still very favored, she is almost responsive at Wesley Tate, like the restaurant we went to before was Wesley Tate bought her as a birthday present, and all the restaurant’s income is her pocket money. . . . , the lounge was full of exclamations when it came to Mathil Tate.
“I’m basically in a state of incommunicado with my wife, but I’m always responsive to my daughter. It seems that Wesley Tate loves his daughter very much. It’s like being kidnapped this time. With such a big commotion and such a high reward, I estimate that I will have to double it in a while.”
Nader did not take these two things from Stephanie. Any special information found in it can only be heard as rumors and gossip.
It was already 9 o’clock in the evening when we got back to the villa. Because we didn’t have dinner, the two got off the bus at the entrance of the restaurant near the villa and ate some casually. Donald even took it from the store. A package of grilled fish and sausages is in hand.
“Did you hear what the guests next to you were saying?”
Around a newsstand, Stephanie stood under the light of the street lamp, dragging a long trail behind her. long shadow.
“Mechanical puppets?”
The restaurant they went to had been brought to by Burns before, and it was one of the delicious restaurants in the neighborhood, and there were naturally a lot of customers.
The people at the next table had been chatting about the mechanical puppets while they were eating, and Stephanie thought it was Donald who stopped them from making a fuss.
The mechanical puppet is the latest news from Whale Island. It is said that the core technology of a certain aspect has made significant progress, which has brought the development of the mechanical puppet into a new stage. It is very likely that some pioneers will be pushed in the near future. product.
Donald is also the first time he has heard of this thing about mechanical puppets. He has seen elemental puppets in spell books, such as golden puppets, and there is also a function in Level 2 rune in the inscription notes. More like a soul guard.
But Donald has never seen the existence of mechanical puppets.
When he heard those people discussing, what he thought was that the level of technology in this world can already make this kind of thing?
“Are you saying that mechanical puppets can replace the police? I just heard from them that the government seems to be very interested in this technology, and maybe let the mechanical puppets be the daily patrol guards in Demingham.”
For most people, let alone mechanical puppets, ordinary golden puppets have not been seen before, and curiosity is certain.
“I don’t know either, I was born in Preston, where even cars are rare, let alone mechanical puppets… When you mention this, even I have some expectations Now, they are actually going to let the mechanical puppets be the city guards, I really want to know how they do it.”
In Donald’s understanding, the mechanical puppets are equivalent to robots, which is seen in some works in the previous life. The carrier of a lot of data or some human-like things composed of various integrated circuits always feel out of line with this world.
“Wait, I seem to have seen a sketch in their hands just now. I heard that it was found in the trash when someone went to Whale Island for delivery. I went to get it.”
Before Donald could speak, Stephanie trotted back all the way, and it took a while to see her running back with a yellowed blueprint in her hand.
“Donald, look at the draft design of the mechanical puppet.”
“They actually gave it to you… Did you use a little trick?”
Donald got tired of looking at the Flying Insect outside the lampshade next to him, took over the blueprint and asked.
“Anyway, they don’t know how many times they’ve watched it, and it’s nothing to show us.”
Blinking her eyes, Stephanie put on an innocent face.
The whole blueprint is really just a draft, and it’s still a draft. It probably has the shape of two mechanical puppets, and they all look a little… curious.
One has a triangular head and a human shape, but the legs and arms are very long, and the ends of the arms look like there are two sharp blades extending out.
A headless robot, with only the lower part of the two legs and the upper part of the body, with three-barreled gun-like structures hanging on both sides.
“Do you think this thing can be made now?”
Looking at the image on the sketch, Donald imagined what the two mechanical puppets would look like after materialization…. ..
Donald felt that his imagination was lacking for the first time.
“The two people just said that the pilot product will be released after a while, when the time comes, don’t know, mechanical puppet, this is the first place in the entire Ryan Empire, right? It’s just like the improved version Like an airship…”
“If such a bold idea is realized, it will be a revolutionary invention, tsk tsk…I came out of the religious area People are really frightened.”
The wave of industry is particularly violent in this world, and many ideas that were never proposed and realized in previous lives seem to have opportunities to flourish in this world.
“Donald…Donald!”
Stephanie slapped his arm suddenly and quickly, and lowered her voice deliberately.
“What’s the matter, what happened?”
He looked up blankly and looked towards Stephanie, but she was dragged to the shelf outside a nearby ready-to-wear store. behind.
“Look over there, Horn seems to be arguing with someone.”
Stephanie has a bad impression of the Captain of the Rose Squad, from the very beginning That’s how the team contacted her. She didn’t even understand why Susanna was so obsessed with him, so naturally she didn’t have much respect.
On the street corner in front, Horn was talking with a bearded man. Judging from the body posture and the occasional sound, it was obvious that the atmosphere of the conversation was not very harmonious.
