Beverly murmured softly, then put more sugar cubes in Dorothy's coffee cup.
"Now drink some more and see if you have enough sugar."
"No…"
"Where are you now?"
"Still no."
"How is it now?"
"Well... almost, it's okay."
"After adding sugar several times, Dorothy said with satisfaction while drinking the coffee in front of her. Looking at Dorothy like this, Beverly also murmured in confusion.
"This is a lot more sugar than I expected... It feels like sugar water with a little coffee powder mixed in... Is this the correct way to brew coffee?"
Beverly thought about it thoughtfully, then she immediately took out a small notebook and slightly changed the sugar parameters for making coffee.
"Well... humans love to eat sweet things so much. If I can modify my sense of taste one day, I also want to taste sweetness and see what it's like for us..." Beverly said as she modified her coffee recipe.
Dorothy drank the coffee made by Beverly with great satisfaction. After Beverly modified her coffee recipe, she removed her multi-functional left hand and replaced it with a normal human arm.
"You haven't been here for a while. Do you want to discuss something this time?"
Beverly untied her apron and threw it aside, then sat on the sofa and said to Dorothy. At this time, Dorothy drank the first cup of coffee brewed by a clockwork man in the world and spoke.
"I'm not here to do business this time, I'm here to ask you some questions. Of course, if you charge money for these questions... that's also doing business."
"Question? Are you going to ask about some branch intelligence again?" Beverly continued to ask, and Dorothy shook her head in response.
"No, what I want to ask this time is... some questions about God... Beverly, do you know if there are any gods related to machinery in the realm of 'Stone'?"
Dorothy asked Beverly carefully. Beverly was slightly startled after hearing her words. After a pause, her expression became strange, and then she said to Dorothy.
"A god related to machinery in the realm of stone? Why are you asking this?"
"Hehe, nothing much. I just read a few biographies about 'Stone' recently. There are some contents that touch upon it, but I don't understand it very clearly, so I wanted to ask."
Dorothy smiled and said to Beverly that the reason she asked this question was that she wanted to know who the god might be who would be watching her after she invented the internal combustion engine.
Listening to Dorothy's explanation, Beverly nodded with interest, and then watched Dorothy continue speaking.
"Hmm... I see. You've asked the right person. I do know a little bit about the gods in the 'Stone' realm. As for the gods related to machinery, there is indeed another one. He is called... 'Core of Order'."
"Order Core? What a strange name for a god..."
Listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy murmured in response, "Compared to other names like gluttonous wolf, abyss snake... holy bastard, holy son, etc.... this name is indeed a bit strange. Compared to the gods worshipped by mysterious societies and religions, this one is more like a term that appears in science fiction novels."
"Ha... Do you find it strange too? Indeed, generally speaking, this being is more widely known as the God of Craftsmen, the God of Clockwork, the God of Steam, the God of Machinery, the Pioneer of Innovation, the Stonebreaker, the Steelmaker, the Trailblazer... There are indeed very few people who call him that. Generally, only those who have studied this god in depth will call him that. I am one of them."
Beverly chuckled and spread her hands in response. After listening to the titles she said later, Dorothy felt that this sounded like a god's name.
"This god has so many titles. The God of Craftsmen... the God of Machinery is understandable... but what about the Pioneer of Innovation, the Stonebreaker, and the Trailblazer? Can you tell me in detail about this Heart of Order?" Dorothy continued to say to Beverly, who responded quite briskly.
"Okay, since you're helping me taste the coffee." Beverly said this, then cleared her throat and continued.
"Then let me briefly explain. This Artisan Mechanical God is one of the few gods in the Stone Realm with the strongest presence and the greatest influence.
“In the secret history and myths of ancient times, He is the God of Craftsmen, symbolizing the pinnacle of almost all crafts. He once forged divine weapons for the heroes and gods in myths and legends. In the Dawn War that drove away darkness, He personally forged the strongest weapons for Huiguang.
"He is a pioneer of innovation and a pioneer of the times. According to legend, it was He who broke through ignorance and inspired humans to invent and improve steam engines, which promoted the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and made human civilization what it is today. Therefore, He is also called the God of Machinery and the God of Steam."
Beverly introduced like this. Listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy frowned slightly, and then said seriously.
"What... Are you saying that it was this god who started the steam revolution?"
"Yes, more than fifty years ago, a series of key inventions suddenly appeared. Those inventors were almost all extraordinary people on the path of 'Stone'. Many of them claimed to have received divine inspiration. So many people think that the driving force behind the steam revolution was this god."
After saying this, Beverly paused slightly, then looked out the window before continuing.
"Based on the above viewpoints, some people believe that the Core of Order will not be satisfied with the current state of human society. When He deems it appropriate, He will once again lead an innovation like the Steam Revolution to push our civilization to a higher level."
