Secret medicine (?)
What does it mean to make a big one?
This news spread to the Mechanical City, and the researchers looked at each other and discussed the mechanic's intentions. Soon, they reached a consensus.
Do it! Why not?
Because of the other party's status, no matter what you do, you won't lose money.
The two parties quickly communicated and exchanged ideas, and after learning about each other's needs, Mechanical City agreed immediately.
Providing some machinery and spare parts is not a big deal for them. There are special storage warehouses built in the outer city. Besides, they have close cooperation with the mines in the east and the supply of raw materials is sufficient.
The woman with the pink and purple ponytail looked at the dilapidated city wall and imagined a corresponding picture in her mind.
"Let's get started then."
She said lazily, and the people behind her nodded repeatedly. A dozen people followed her like chicks following their mother, and some of them were experts with great reputations. They looked at the mechanic with fanatical eyes.
A group of machines flew down from the sky and placed the transport box on the ground. When the box was opened, the silvery parts were revealed, almost forming a small mountain.
The mechanic reached out and pressed on the part, his eyes lit up with a silvery grey light. The part in his hand seemed like a living thing, spontaneously blending into the entire wall.
Amid the huge roar, the gaps in the city wall healed one after another, and mechanical flesh and blood grew back.
No matter how many times I have seen it, this incredible power is still so fascinating. There was a faint noise from the people in the Mechanical City, busy recording this amazing scene.
What is the principle behind this? How is it done? Why can it be achieved to this extent without any machine being assembled?
The researchers' eyes were full of rage, and they wanted to take each other apart for research. However, considering the gap in strength between the two sides, they regretfully gave up this option and turned to asking questions excitedly.
"Ms. Mechanic, how did you acquire this ability?"
"I have an idea. If we install a response system in the parts, can we achieve automatic repair like this?"
"Impossible. Do you know how expensive that would be? You might as well consider my plan. Install an automatic repair system on each robot. Once it is damaged, it will search for the nearest parts to repair itself."
"Your plan is not feasible at all. Mechanical beasts are mostly used for external defense. Where can you find extra parts in those remote places?"
"......"
As the questions went on, the scene turned into a big debate. A few smart people took the opportunity to squeeze out the others and stick to the mechanic to ask questions. The scene became very chaotic for a while, and the mechanic said, "Okay, don't get excited. If you have any questions, you can ask Mr. Ham."
These words landed with such force that they silenced the arguing crowd. Each pair of eyes stared at the other, and the same words popped up in their minds at the same time.
Where is Mr. Ham? Which Mr. Ham? Not the one they think he is, right?
"What do you mean by Mr. Ham? Is he still alive?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
No wonder so many people like to be riddle tellers. It feels so good to see other people's faces full of desire but unable to get what they want.
The mechanic left happily, leaving behind a group of people in the mechanical city looking at each other in bewilderment. The most experienced researcher among them hurriedly said, "Ms. Mechanic, please don't leave yet!"
Unfortunately, the other party didn't pay any attention to them and walked away even faster, leaving a group of people feeling very upset.
What's the point of saying half of something!? Do you dare to tell me the whole thing! If you don't tell me the whole thing, I will kneel down and beg you!
Mason had long planned to pull Ham out to work. If it weren't for the pollution from the outside world, it would have been impossible for this man to stay leisurely in the mirror for so long.
Now that the new vest is in place, we naturally have to deal with this issue.
Mason found a safe place and summoned the mirror. Illusory waves extended in all directions, the outline of the ruined city and the wilderness overlapped, and an illusory figure appeared in front of Mason.
"Why did you call me this time? Let me make it clear first, I really don't have anything left. You've almost used up the crystal and the android."
Looking at the empty mirror, Ham felt a little pained. Every time the other party came in, he would take something away, which made him go bankrupt.
Mason said righteously, "This time I'm not here to get anything. How could you think of me like that? I just came here to see you."
Ham cast a suspicious look at him, and the boy changed the subject: "However, I did come to see you for a little matter..."
See! I knew it!
The middle-aged man frowned: "What is the reason this time?"
The boy smiled like a little fox: "Master Ham, do you want to go out and take a look?"
Ham knew he was setting a trap for him and rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Even if I refuse, can I not go? You stubborn kid, didn't I tell you before? If you want me to leave, you have to solve the pollution problem first."
"If it hadn't been solved, I wouldn't have dared to bother you."
The boy waved with a smile, and a black-haired girl appeared in the mirror.
"This is Gloria. She can separate the contamination. With her working with you, we will definitely be able to research a suitable carrier."
Then we can pull the souls out of the mirror to work as laborers and provide some population. Mason was calculating in his mind. Ham observed carefully for a while, thought about it a few more times, and nodded slightly.
"You can give it a try."
With the other party's promise, Mason knew that this matter was already half successful.
"I'll leave the rest up to you. I'll help you find a suitable time to appear."
"I knew you were full of bad ideas."
"No way, I still want to call you teacher."
The boy took advantage and climbed up the pole. Ham shook his head but did not refuse. Mason smiled even more.
Ham's existence is his trademark. What could be more eye-catching than a mechanical master from the last century? He can already foresee what kind of shock and excitement will be created if the other party succeeds. Whether it is Ham's technology or reputation, it will be a huge fortune. Apart from other things, at least the Mechanical City will no longer have any other thoughts.
After meeting with Ham, Mason returned to reality. While Bai was out to kill the monsters, he temporarily left Gloria in the mirror. Ham is an expert in researching white crystals, and Gloria can separate good from evil. He hopes that the combination of the two can give him a big surprise.
A few days later, a herald from the west arrived at the rebuilding city of Guixiang. Mason was surprised at first, but then he thought it was reasonable.
Over the past half month, the eradication of monsters in various places has never stopped. It is time to do it. The young man stood up and shouted to the outside of the door: "Please ask him to go to the reception room. I will be there soon."
He changed his clothes and went to the reception room. The visitor had been waiting there for a long time. He was about thirty years old, with a distinct western temperament, capable and calm, and deep-set eyes.
Seeing Mason, the messenger stood up to show respect. The young man stepped forward quickly and stopped the other party from saluting.
"Don't worry about these complicated etiquettes. You must have come here for something important. We should put the overall situation first."
This sentence touched the other person's heart, and the Western Blood's eyes softened a little. He stopped talking and took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Mason.
"This is an urgent intelligence report, and only you are qualified to view it."
The messenger handed the other party a brown envelope sealed with wax. Mason opened it on the spot and saw lines of strong and powerful handwriting.
[A black-haired girl has recently appeared on the western border. It is unclear whether she is a monster or a human. Her strength is beyond our imagination. I hope that Guixiang City will be alert. If you find any clues, please share them with us immediately...]
Mason had never expected that the new vest incident would cause such a big reaction from the Western Frontier. He was a little amused. He folded the letter, his expression unchanged. The Western Frontier was quite honest. They probably sent someone as soon as they could get in touch.
"Thank you for your kindness, everyone at the border. I understand. Once I have any news, I will write to communicate in time."
Seeing the young nobleman's calm and composed appearance, the messenger's evaluation of him in his heart was even higher. Just based on this calmness, it was no wonder that he was able to open up a vast territory at such a young age.
"One more thing, the Noble Association thanks you for your contribution."
He carefully took out a ring and handed it to Mason. Mason took the ring and the metal began to transform into a small box as it touched his palm.
Mason opened the golden box and found an exquisite badge inside. It was made of hot-gold material and had a unique pattern. There was a faint tremor coming from it. It turned out to be a sealed item.
"This is a badge prepared for every earl, and it is a symbol of his status. With this badge, you can get the treatment you deserve in the Noble Association. It is a semi-finished seal, and it can activate the shield without paying a price, which is better than nothing. If you want to exchange it for other symbols, you can apply to the association. In addition, please do not leave Guixiang City in the near future, and the association will hold a ceremony to confer a knighthood on you."
The herald spoke in great detail, and finally, a hint of gentleness appeared on his stern face.
"And as a member of the West, I appreciate your contribution to us."
If anyone shed the most blood against the Black Mist, it was the people of the West.
When the black fog invaded the most, nine out of ten houses in the entire West were empty. Men, women, old people, and children had to serve as militias. At one point, they were almost wiped out. After several rounds of immigration, the population of the West was barely maintained. The territory that Mason conquered in the black fog undoubtedly won them a chance to breathe. This was a real practical move that won praise from the people of the West.
The boy was very humble: "Thank you for the association's kindness. The West has just experienced a war. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to hold a knighthood ceremony now? Just this badge is enough. Forget the others."
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he found that the other party really thought so. The investiture ceremony is of great significance to the promoted person, and it is the best way to get to know people from all walks of life. Few nobles would refuse to hold the ceremony.
Mason really wasn't interested in these things. If he wanted to make friends with the nobles, who would reject him? He might as well think about how to defeat the monster lord.
The herald officer said, "Please don't worry. This knighthood ceremony is funded directly by the association and will not cause any trouble. After experiencing many wars, the West urgently needs a happy event to wash away the haze brought by the war. Your appearance is to tell them that another reliable lord has appeared."
Mason finally agreed. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as one side thought the other was a good lord and the other wanted to build a good relationship. After the official business was finished, the herald turned to private matters. He crossed his hands on his knees and stared at the boy intently.
"There is one more thing. The master of the family asked me to ask if you have any secret medicine for purification."
