Chapter 1081: Relics

"This feeling... is quite strange..."

After imagining the scene of Beverly carving herself and then slowly carving herself into pieces, Dorothy shook her head slightly and decided not to think too much about it. She then looked at Beverly and asked.

"Because you smashed yourself into pieces, you gave up your original stone body?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to ask the old man for help, but he was so angry after seeing my actions that he didn't want to help me, so I studied myself. After decades of research, I finally studied it thoroughly. I found out where my core is, so I thought of replacing the stone body that I had carved into pieces with other materials while retaining the core."

Beverly continued to respond, saying that she had almost completed repairing her skin.

"In order to distinguish myself from the old man, I started to study mechanism science. I found some tricks that made it easier to process metal, so I used metal mechanisms to make the body and then put the core inside.

"I was bad at sculpting myself before because I had no practice. But this time I had countless hours to hone my skills and create a satisfactory body. In the end, I got what I have now. You just saw that the bodies I made are all pretty good. With this bionic outerwear that I have spent more than ten years researching, it is prettier than the average human beauty~"

After saying that, Beverly closed the toolbox-like "makeup box" that came with her screwdrivers and hammer, then turned to smile at Dorothy. Her repaired face was indeed as beautiful as she said, better looking than most human girls, especially her two yellow eyes, which were so big that at first glance they even had a "secondary" feeling, but it was handled very naturally, making people look comfortable, without any inharmonious parts.

"My goodness, it can transform itself to this extent. Is this the top-level puppet made by Odfetch? She herself is a very outstanding craftsman, but the old guy never thought that the work he carved would not like his own aesthetics..."

Dorothy thought so, and she was also wondering how Odditch, an old craftsman with a classical and hard-core aesthetic, could carve out a secondary figure, or how he could actively want to turn himself into a beautiful girl's secondary figure.

If creations can be regarded as the children of craftsmen, then Oddiqi's move can be said to be "giving birth to children". He carved a son and raised a daughter.

However, this analogy is not appropriate. After all, Beverly is not a living creature but a structure created by the Extraordinary. She is essentially genderless and it is her freedom to choose whatever image she likes.

"Repaired~ Thank you so much for your help, otherwise I would have been sitting in that corner for a few hours."

Beverly said to Dorothy while tidying up the things on the table, and Dorothy asked curiously.

"How did you get your head there?"

"Nothing, it just blew up accidentally while doing an experiment, and the original body was blown apart, that's all, small accidents happen all the time."

Put everything away, Beverly clapped her hands and said, then she sat down solemnly in front of Dorothy.

"Okay, let's talk about your story now, Miss Meshhos. The old man has already told me your general situation. Your main purpose for coming to Tivian is to find the ruins of the Star Numbers Book Repair Society, right?"

"Yes, Odfitch said that the contact here will tell me the exact location of the ruins. So where is it?" Dorothy asked doubtfully. To obtain the method of advancement from the ruins of the Book Repairing Society was her main purpose in coming to Tivian.

"Well, I can tell you that the ruins are far away in the horizon and close to us. It's right below the school next to this town."

Beverly waved her finger and said this. Dorothy was slightly stunned when she heard it.

"Under the school? Are you saying that underneath the King's Campus of Holy Crown University are the remains of the Star Numbers Book Society?"

"Yes, this school was originally built on the ruins of the Shuxiu Society. That's why the old man recommended you to study here."

As she spoke, Beverly poured herself another small cup of motor oil from the teapot beside her, and then sipped her tea while speaking.

"The Xingshu Book Society originated in the Second Era, flourished in the Third Era, and was completely destroyed at the beginning of the Fourth Era. Many ruins were left all over the world. Since they are rich in 'Enlightenment' storage items and many ancient secrets, these ruins have always been the object of contention among major forces. Generally, once one is discovered, it will definitely lead to a lot of people fighting. For example, the one below the school. Since it was discovered more than a few decades ago, countless Beyonders have died around it. The society that controls this ruin has changed three or four times. This was once an important base for many societies."

Beverly said to Dorothy while drinking engine oil, and Dorothy was stunned after hearing it.

"This ruins was once controlled by multiple societies in turn... Is there anything left here?!"

"Of course there can't be anything left. Several societies took turns to come here and dug up several layers of the land. No matter whether it was extraordinary items or secret teachings, they were all taken away long ago. All the 'inspirations' were dug up by them. Fortunately, the old man went there to explore early and found the key inheritance and was promoted to a puppet master. If it was later, I'm afraid there would be nothing left~"

Beverly said this, and Dorothy was stunned for two seconds before blurting out the answer.

"There's nothing left... Then why did he recommend me to come here?"

"I don't know about that, but since he recommended you here, there must be a reason. I know the old man's personality. He won't do meaningless things. He won't mess with a little girl like you. Since he asked you to go there, then you should find a way to go in and take a look."

Beverly's words showed that she knew Oldman very well. After hearing what Beverly said, Dorothy was silent for a while.

"Hmm... then where is the entrance to the ruins? How should I get in? Did Odfitch tell you how he got in?"

"I don't know about that either. This ruin has been occupied by several societies over the years. Each society has made some modifications to it to use it as a base. Now it has been transformed into a school. It is completely different from when the old man explored it. Who knows how to get in?

"If you want to know how to get in, you'll have to go to school yourself. I think that's why the old man arranged for you to go to school."

Beverly continued, and Dorothy couldn't help but complain after listening.

"Oh my goodness, I'm not here to go to college, but to study archaeology?"

"So, can you help me get into this university? I'm only thirteen years old now, far from being old enough to go to college."

"Haha, except for your appearance, you don't look like a thirteen-year-old in any other way." Beverly teased lightly, put down the oil cup in her hand, and continued speaking.

"Before the ruins were turned into a school, the last controller was the old man. I don't know whether it was because of nostalgia or he wanted to see if he could get something out of it. After the society inside evacuated because there was nothing to dig, the old man bought this piece of land and built a workshop.

“Later, the king wanted to build a school to train his civil servants, and he took a fancy to this place, so he bought the land from the old man at a price 25 times the original purchase price, and promised to give the old man shares, so the old man is also one of the shareholders of this university.

"The Royal Holy Crown University is now the highest-ranking institution of higher learning in the world. The shares he holds can earn him a lot of money every year. This is one of his high-quality assets. His shares are now managed by us, so I can easily arrange for you to enter the school and even give you some small privileges."

After Beverly finished speaking, Dorothy remained silent with an expressionless face. At this moment, there was only one thing on her mind.

"I think the profiteer is not doing this for nostalgia or to make money from the ruins. He just wants to do a business and blackmail the king. This old guy is so rich and has so many assets outside, but he still haggles over a few pounds. Is he sick?"
