Chapter 717 Living in the boiler?
After some trouble, Zoe finally found Beatrice and took her back to her room.
Gaia was responsible for a lot of things, so Xius called her over and arranged some work for her - if she didn't come back, even Xius didn't dare to imagine what Tata could do.
Now that the research and development has been handed over to her, Xius feels a little more at ease.
And Gaia has an important mission this time - she has to assist Richard in completing the human mechanization transformation project.
Castel has been stuck with this technology for too long. Now that he has obtained the technology of the Mechanical Temple, of course he has to concentrate his efforts on tackling the problem.
Hughes has specially approved a research fund, set aside several test sites, and called both Noras to help.
He even gave up the idea of having Chloe work overtime and urgently asked her to come from Blood Harbor on the Nine Snakes' coffin to cooperate with the research.
These people are in urgent need of their bodies to be resurrected. It is not a good idea to keep them half-dead all the time. It seems like Castel is exploiting the dead.
Besides, Nora and Chloe both have experience in "indirect body control", so Hughes thinks he can try to give them a body that is not so original, so that he can add some things to it, such as Gatling guns, dragon breath cannons and so on.
They will definitely get used to it soon.
Gaia is almost the last conscience among Castel's researchers. The rest of the researchers either have unique hobbies or are completely unreliable.
Among the huge fire moths, there are only two and a half reliable ones, Gaia and Richard are two, and Chloe is half.
If these two halves come together to conduct research, the results will be just around the corner!
So Hughes is still looking forward to it.
Zoe is not so anxious. Although she is the chief secretary of Blood Harbor, the civil service system built by Hughes can run normally without a chief secretary.
To put it simply, it is highly substitutable and has a lot of room for optimization.
Therefore, Hughes arranged for her to follow Beatrice for the next few days and keep a close eye on her.
It's not to prevent her from rebelling - with Beatrice's identity, she wouldn't be able to find a place to rebel.
Mainly, he hoped Zoe would take care of Beatrice. Hughes always felt that with her luck, she might die inexplicably.
Not to mention the research and development work of the Zeus organization, Zoe took Beatrice through the corridors of the cathedral.
Although she worked at Blood Harbor, Castel still came here frequently, sometimes to report on work, and sometimes just to take a walk. Zoe was no longer the same as before, but in a corner of her heart, she was still the little maid without too many ambitions.
"This room is not far from the Lord's office, right next to the medical room and the Banshee duty room. If you encounter any trouble, you can shout loudly. The Banshees are quite reliable when they are on duty, but you must not accept any food they offer."
"Is it because their diet is different from humans'?"
"No, it's because their hobbies are too unique. Anyway, at least wait until you feel better."
Zoe stopped in her tracks.
"It's this way. The decoration style of Castel is more industrial and simple. I hope you don't mind." Zoe opened the door and introduced it to Beatrice with a smile, but saw that Beatrice's expression froze.
Well.
Yes, is it that bad?
Under the influence of Hughes, Castell's overall style is more practical, coupled with the overcapacity of steel production.
Let’s put it this way, wrought iron furniture has almost become Castel’s specialty.
Although these furniture are durable and sturdy, and their industrial style has its own beauty, they are really not in line with traditional aesthetics.
Come to think of it, Beatrice was, after all, the Pope of the Candlelight Society and the Mechanical Temple, and she had sat on the throne of the empire for a while. She might not have much power, but she must have seen countless luxurious residences.
She must be very dissatisfied with such an ordinary room.
Zoe scratched her head, turned around and prepared to walk into the room, but when she saw the scene inside the room, she was also stunned.
Inside the room, there were no concrete walls or wrought iron furniture, but a huge steel furnace.
Heavy and oppressive, with steel pipes, furnace door openings, and an observation window riveted where the window used to be.
They even sprinkled some slag on the ground to create an atmosphere.
Zoe almost thought she had walked into the wrong compartment and arrived at the stellar furnace.
Bang!
Zoe closed the door, took two steps back to look at the number on the door, and then opened it again.
squeak--
The charcoal fire in the corner of the room was blown a little stronger by the on-and-off wind, and the red charcoal made the room orange-red - more like a boiler.
Zoe's eye twitched.
"Has Castel's industrialization reached this level?" Beatrice asked somewhat confusedly.
"No, not at all." Zoe quickly closed the door again, then angrily knocked on the door of the Banshee's duty room.
The door was quickly opened, but only a crack. Several banshees looked over through the gap and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zoe leaned over to look into the house, but was completely blocked by the tall bodies of the banshees and could not see anything clearly. She sneered and her eyes became dull.
The next moment, her voice was heard from behind the banshees: "Okay, it turned out to be you guys who did this!"
The tips of the banshees' tails froze at the same time. They no longer cared about the door and turned to look at Zoe who had already entered the room.
At this moment, Zoe was holding several large pieces of steel plates in her hands. The material looked exactly the same as the ones in the room just now, and there were also fresh cutting marks. It seemed that they were left over from decorating the room just now.
"Wow, you guys are so mean! You actually bullied Beatrice! I'm going to complain to the lord!"
The banshees exchanged awkward glances and quickly began to defend themselves: "This wasn't our own decision; it was the Lord's will!"
Zoe: “???”
"The Lord said that Beatrice is used to living in the boiler, so we need to make her feel at home!"
Zoe: “!!??”
"The Lord also said that Beatrice is very particular about her bed and can't sleep in the boiler. We were busy with emergency renovations for quite a while."
Zoe looked at Beatrice in shock and said hesitantly, "S-Sorry, I didn't know you had this hobby. So what Nini said about you falling in love with steam engines was true."
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Beatrice quickly denied. "I, I didn't make such a request. Remove the decorations!"
Speaking of this, Zoe nodded and said, "Indeed, burning charcoal in the room is still too dangerous. It's better to remove it."
"Don't worry, your room isn't just a boiler for decoration. There's a real blower connected to the back, so even if you want to light a fire for fun, it's no problem. By the way, we've also built a pollution pipe, so you can start spraying whenever you want."
