"Okay." After successfully breaking out of the encirclement with the attentive service of the Undead Technician, Leon squinted at the dock where ships were coming and going in the distance and took the initiative to stop: "If we go any further, it may attract attention. Let's stop the power armor here. Thank you for your help this time." "..." I really don't want to help...but do I have a choice? Watching the duke flipping out of the cockpit, the unfortunate little golden retriever endured and endured, but in the end he didn't say anything, but resignedly turned the joystick and prepared to go back dejectedly, but... "Wait, don't take the power armor back." "Ah?" "The battery of the power armor... I mean the energy storage module, this thing is useful to me, help me remove it." "But... without the energy storage module, I can't drive the power armor, how can I go back?"
"Take a boat, isn't the dock over there?" "..." "What's wrong? Any other questions?" "No... no..." Faced with the unreasonable request made by his own duke, the little golden retriever adjutant sighed in his heart, resignedly turned two switches, and opened the energy storage compartment of the power armor. Then, with an extremely familiar creaking sound, he climbed out of the cab with difficulty, stood aside with a helpless face, and watched his own duke pry the energy storage module of the power armor. "Well... there's not much energy left, but thank you anyway." "No... you're welcome..." After nodding dryly and responding to the Duke's polite thanks, Steven Ryan touched his empty pockets and said embarrassedly: "Um... Duke, can you... can you lend me some money?" "Ah?" "Before I went on a mission, I was sleeping in the barracks, and I didn't expect to be robbed... and brought here by you, so I didn't have any money with me. Can you lend me some money so that I can go to the dock and hire a carriage to go home?" "Well... okay..." Although he didn't have much money in his hand, he looked at the pitiful little golden retriever in front of him, and then looked at the energy storage module on the ground that cost at least 10,000 gold wheels. Lyon still didn't feel embarrassed to refuse his request, and reluctantly asked Youha to throw out his wallet. Well... but Anna kept most of his salary, leaving only a part for necessary expenses, and bought a lot of supplies to store in the mirror world. He only had 4 silver wheels and 9 copper wheels left in his hand... "Why don't we just not hire a carriage?" After looking at his empty wallet, Leon tentatively suggested: "It just so happens that there is a pier over there. In fact, we can take a boat directly back to the capital, and then transfer to two public carriages, and we can still get to the city." "That's... OK..."
"Then you take it, and you don't have to pay it back!" Seeing that the little golden retriever didn't insist on hiring a carriage, Leon, who was short of money but couldn't refuse, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then counted out 7 copper wheels and handed them over, smiling and saying: "The ticket for the passenger ship's affordable cabin is 3 coppers. You can take the bus from here to Bunker River Pier, then transfer to the 60-minute public carriage on the Old Town Line, and spend 3 copper wheels to ride all the way to the end, and you can enter the city of the capital. The carriages there support post-payment, so you can directly charter a car to go home. Or if you want to go to Ryan Manor, you can also get off the bus one stop earlier, which will save you 1 copper wheel. After getting off the bus, walk to the next stop, Westminster Abbey, and then spend 2 copper wheels to take the running line carriage on Church Street, which can also get you to Redwood Street, just 7 copper wheels. " "..." Faced with the Duke who not only calculated the toll clearly, but also gave a thoughtful guide to saving money, the little golden retriever who took the copper wheel couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nose, as if he had smelled the sour smell of stinky feet in the lower class cabin. … “Thank you… Thank you…” After thanking the Duke for his generosity, the little golden retriever, moved to tears, clutched the extremely precious 7 copper wheels and staggered away, while Lyon carried the battery down the path, found a secluded place, and took out the black 15-proof box containing Atifi 128. Round interface…then a round connector should also be needed… After groping on the energy storage module of the power armor for a while and finding the pipe tied in the slot, Lyon removed the plug on the energy storage module, unscrewed the protective bolt according to the method taught by Atifi 128 before, and fixed it on the interface behind the 15-proof box. Soon, accompanied by a humming sound, the black frosted glass-like 15-proof box shook slightly, and countless tightly arranged small connecting rods inside, which were several times thinner than hair, moved neatly and at high speed in a strange way that was not very regular. "Thank you for waking me up, Dad." "..." "Uh...you should call me Mr. Leon..." Listening to the sweet voice of Atifi 128, the somewhat embarrassed Leon couldn't help but touch his nose and corrected: "I was...um...just think I was joking, okay?" After "hearing" Leon's words through the copper tube, the gear set in the fifteenth defense box, which was so dense that the number could hardly be seen, began to reverse rapidly at a special rhythm, and then drove tens of thousands of connecting rods and hole clamps, poking the sphere full of tiny holes in the center for a while, conveying the information. After twisting twice, the core ball completed a similar operation in the reverse direction, driving the dense gear group to rotate forward through the connecting rod, and knocking the copper tube by hitting the hammer group, simulating the sound of a little girl, and gave its own answer. "Although I judged that you didn't seem to be joking before, since you have a request, I am willing to comply, Mr. Lyon." "..." Was that "calculation" just now? What is the principle of this thing? Seeing Atifi 128 accept and understand his words in less than a second and give the corresponding answer, Leon couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you speak? What are these parts in the box for?" "The reason why I can speak is very simple. As a creature with a relatively simple vocal organ structure, 60-80 sounds are the limit of ordinary humans, and the scale recorded by a single gear in my gear set is far beyond this number. The text content is relatively complex. Your human writing can be roughly summarized into four categories: ideographic writing, syllable writing, phono-semantic writing, and symbolic writing, and the characteristics can be combined with each other. If 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to represent the arrangement, there are about 15 typical comprehensive writings mode. Each text mode has an average of 250,000 to 670,000 valuable words, and the commonly used words will be roughly reduced to between 3,000 and 11,000 according to individual and regional differences, and the tone, voice and corresponding emotions must also be considered. So even if the process has been greatly simplified, if I want to output the corresponding characters in the conversation and attach emotions to accurately express my meaning, I still need to use 15 sub-gear sets and 30 to 110 short arc levers each time..."
"Okay, okay, don't explain the rest, just pretend I didn't ask this question." After listening hard for a long time, Leon was still confused. He wisely reached a reconciliation with himself, gave up thinking about the reason why she could talk, and asked the question he cared about most. "Atifi, I have a question for you." He took out the big box that was previously distributed by the bureau, stuffed Atifi 128 into it, and then condensed the cursed silver into a dagger, dug a hole in the box, and stuck the copper tubes used for "speaking" and "listening" on it. Then, Leon asked: "What is the situation in the Kingdom of Korok? What happened to the Gemini Branch of the Cleanup Bureau? Have you contacted Director Aquarius?"
