0817 Stigmata

"So your name is Jenny, the daughter of the craftsman..."

After a few short conversations, Sulu took off her hat: "Then... I should say goodbye."

"No, please wait, Mr. Turing!"

Jenny hurriedly said, "Are there many monsters like that? And... the extraordinary people of the church, I mean... the extraordinary power, what is it?"

"Are you curious about them?"

Sulu stopped, with a playful look in his eyes.

Jenny took a deep breath: "Yes, I'm very curious about everything unknown!"

"Exceptional things, that is, monsters and some mysterious objects, do exist in this world, and humans have mastered extraordinary powers and called them "saints"... The saints are marked with holy marks, and their main routes include "cats", "eagles", "wolf", "griffin", "spiders", etc...."

Sulu smiled and said to Jenny: "You must want to ask how to obtain extraordinary power. It is obviously in the hands of other major forces... Each force has a different path. For example, the Liberal City Federation is famous for the "Spider's Holy Mark", while the local natural church is good at "Griffin's Holy Mark" and "Spider's Holy Mark"... And in some evil god sects, some very strange holy mark routes have been passed down. I don't recommend you try that..."

Although he didn't understand it very much, Jenny still tried hard to record every sentence Sulu said.

Finally, she looked at Sulu and asked excitedly: "Are you... also extraordinary?"

"That's right..."

Sulu gave a very foolish answer, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Looking at his left back, Jenny breathed silently, feeling that her goal had changed a little again.

‘Maybe, while becoming a great craftsman, I can also try to be an extraordinary person? The two do not conflict... What is the Holy Secret, and how can I get it?’

...

Jenny sneaked back home and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she found everything was as usual.

As for a date for a friend, I can only break the appointment.

Several months passed in a flash.

What happened that night seemed to be suppressed, with no rumor and no one came to the door, which made Jenny secretly relieved.

In a blink of an eye, September is coming.

On this day, during dinner, Wick and Mrs. Halia solemnly called Jenny to her: "Daughter... The Zeland Mechanical College is recruiting students recently, and we have signed up for you."

"What?"

Jenny was a little surprised. Of course she had heard of this college and was very respectful, but the tuition was quite high: "In terms of tuition..."

"You don't have to worry about this, Dad still has this savings."

Will took a sip of beer: "The college not only teaches mechanical knowledge, but also teaches words. After three years of study, you can find a good job..."

"Dad..."

Jenny's eyes were a little wet.

...

University of Mechanical Science, Zeland.

Jenny changed into new clothes and sat in a spacious and bright classroom with her classmates, waiting for the start of the first class.

A squeak.

The classroom door was pushed open and a gentleman in a tuxedo walked in.

He is very young, looking only in his twenties, with deep eyes: "Students, I will be your mechanical teacher...you can call me...Turing!"

Below, Jenny had already covered her mouth.

She never thought that Mr. Turing, who saved her that night, would become her teacher.

Sulu seemed to care about her, glanced around and started the lecture with a loud voice:

"The machinery... is full of charm. It can bring both huge power - the steam engine! It can also provide us with computing support, such as the differential machine... You are all my students, and I hope you can go further on the road of machinery. Below... I will introduce a simple steam engine that provides simple power to lift water for coal mines... If, I mean, if... any of you can perfect it, you will get everything in the world!"

As he said that, Sulu put out a rough model of a steam engine.

The course went very quickly and every student took notes carefully.

Although Jenny was attracted by the steam engine, she gritted her teeth after class and quickly caught up with Turing: "Teacher..."

"Lucky little girl...we're meeting for the second time, right?"

Sulu smiled.

"Yes, I've caught you."

Jenny's cheeks were flushed and she was panting. She glanced around her and lowered her voice quickly: "Can you teach me other things?"

"About the extraordinary holy marks? No..."

Sulu shook his head: "It's a mechanical problem. You are welcome to ask me anytime."

Seeing this, Jenny couldn't help but look disappointed on her face.

...

winter.

The cold wind blew, and there was light snow in the sky.

In the Mechanical College, teachers' dormitory.

"teacher……"

Jenny knocked on the door and saw Sulu who opened the door: "I have designed the sketch for the last time, the new steam engine, but there are still a few small questions..."

"Yeah, come in."

Sulu glanced at her and nodded.

Jenny immediately flashed into the room and crouched beside the fireplace burning fireplace.

"I want to correct it."

Sulu followed her and sat down at the desk with the homework brought by Jenny, preparing to modify it.

Jenny's eyes turned and landed on the bookshelf in the study room.

Although this teacher never taught her extraordinary knowledge, she did not forbid her to read the books in the study.

In this way, Jenny has already gained some understanding of that mysterious world.

Although, in order to get the opportunity, we are racking our brains to design a new steam engine to create excuses to visit.

She came to the edge of the bookcase, and familiarly took out a book called "The Secret Word of Nature" and started reading it.

"...The Cat's Holy Scar is mainly light and agile. The first Saint Scar provides agility bonus, which is called "Cat's Elegance" from the outside world, giving the saints excellent balance ability and amazing speed..."

After the pages, there is a sketch of the first holy mark, which looks like an abstract black cat.

"The second holy mark, called the 'Claw of Speed', allows the saints to mutate their hands and gain amazing lethality..."

The illustration of the Holy Scar behind is a pair of cat claws, which just matches the previous black cat holy Scar.

"All holy marks require potions or ritual additions. From the potion of "Cat's Elegance" to the potion of "Quick Attack Claw" are all in the hands of the Natural Holy See... It is almost impossible for outsiders to obtain them. And all holy marks will be combined into real monsters at the later stage? Is it the beginning of the qualitative change in the strength of the 'saints'?"

While secretly complaining, Jenny put down the book, trying to find a first-level potion recipe.

"Ahem!"

At this time, Sulu's cough suddenly sounded: "Jenny."
Chapter completed!
