If you guessed it right, this is a small test from Helena to Mark to see if he really takes a peek at Thiago's legacy.
Mark made a magnanimous gesture of invitation: "It is only right to bury the elders according to their last wishes. Miss Helena, please do as you please."
Helena's eyes were quite complicated, with sudden gratitude, aroused sadness, and also faint feelings that I don't know how to describe.
She was very pleased that the only thing Mark took away from the workshop... was to eat one of the legs of the [Greedy] Priest with that extraordinary lantern.
This is the price of using extraordinary items.
She bowed slightly and said, "Please come with me."
After pulling down a few levers, something similar to a small survival cabin was revealed on the side of the workshop. The two of them sat in it, which was far from comfortable. When it was started, the metal sphere ran wildly in the darkness along the preset rails.
In just three or four minutes, I arrived at a room, opened the door, and my eyes suddenly lit up.
The sunshine at ten o'clock in the morning shines on the second-floor terrace of this villa on the river bank. The sunlight shines on the terrace through the carved fence.
There is a very artistic coffee table and armchair in front of Mark. If two cups of black tea and a plate of snacks are placed on it, the style of the painting will definitely be a kind of "noble's leisure time".
"Ah! This is..."
"No one knows that this villa is actually connected to my family's workshop. The original owner of the villa was a big businessman and one of my father's secret sponsors. When he died ten years ago, he transferred this house to my father. Three years ago
My father used robots to turn it into a secret evacuation tunnel."
Mark was a little speechless. Has Mr. Craftsman already settled everything?
"Please wait here."
"good!"
Helena bowed and disappeared into the room.
Not long after, a series of loud noises shocked the whole city.
Countless people put down their work and looked blankly at the hills outside the city.
The great craftsman's mansion that was once the glory of the city suddenly rose into the sky with smoke and dust. Amidst the deafening roar, this legendary mansion that gathered the essence of the mechanical industry sank under the gaze of everyone.
It's not a big explosion without nutrition, but it slowly sinks into the ground.
It happened that this scene was seen by people on an airship that was patrolling in the sky.
"Oh my god! What happened to the Mishuir mansion?"
This is a shipping airship.
In the huge sightseeing gondola, passengers were pointing and pointing.
One second the tour guide was enthusiastically introducing the wonders of the mansion, and the next second it was sinking into the center of the earth under the witness of hundreds of passengers.
Huge boulders measuring [10,000 tons] crashed onto the roof of the mansion, burying everything...
The whole city was shocked.
Including Mark.
On the side of the villa, there is just enough angle to clearly see the mansion disappearing on the hilltop.
For a moment, Mark almost wondered if Helena had lost her mind and followed her father.
A few minutes later, when the brakes of the escape cabin came from the room, and as he watched Helena walk out, close the mechanism wall, and seal the final passage to the mansion, Mark noticed the tears on her face.
"Please have my condolences. Your father probably doesn't want to see you sad."
Unexpectedly, this comfort had the opposite effect.
The girl's face suddenly showed determination and a hint of anger. She clenched her fists and said, "That bastard doesn't care about my feelings or my life and death."
"..."
"My mother was his maid. I was just the result of his temporary sexual desire. Even after my mother died, I came to him. When he found that my wisdom was not enough to keep up with him, he only regarded me as the last resort.
Ordinary assistants can be called upon at will."
"..."
Mark suddenly realized that whatever he said was wrong. No matter how distorted other people's family relationships were, he, as an outsider, was not someone he could comment on casually.
After the girl excitedly revealed the truth about what had been buried for many years, she became obviously much more comfortable.
She stood upright at first, then felt a little uncomfortable, and began to squirm unconsciously. Finally, she straightened her chest and looked directly at Mark with her blue eyes: "Mr. Destiny."
"Um?"
"Except for you, no one else in the world knows that Mishuel has a daughter. The world will only think that the armored giant last night was Thiago's only disciple, Mr. Antoine. However, Antoine last month
He died accidentally while hunting a strange demon."
Helena took a deep breath, and with anxiety, her bright red lips wriggled a few times, and then she bowed deeply:
"I—Helena Lopez, a senior craftsman of the Cult of Mechanicus. In order to repay Mr. Destiny for saving my life, I request to become his follower."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Helena seemed to have exhausted all her courage and no longer dared to look into Mark's eyes. She lowered her head and played with her fingers uneasily.
Mark had more or less guessed it before, but even now, he still feels like he was hit by a pie.
Before coming here, his biggest thought was to help Mini shave her face.
It would be better now, just kidnap a senior craftsman.
Of course he can't compare to the great craftsman Tiago in terms of technology, but the advantage is that he is one of his own and can be raised slowly.
Mark can definitely tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
Even if Mark only thought about it for three seconds, to Helena, it really was three centuries long.
Fortunately, the heart-wrenching wait is worth it.
At this moment, the warm smile on Mark's face blended perfectly with the sunlight shining behind him.
Mark stretched out his right hand: "Although I don't have a career to praise now, the world is so big, and I am willing to go and see it with you."
Helena raised her head suddenly, with unconcealable ecstasy in her eyes. She quickly reached out her hand to hold it, but she subconsciously stopped the second before she touched Mark's palm.
At this moment, Mark took the initiative to hold her hand.
Most girls' hands are very soft, but Helena's is not. Opposite to the soft back of her hand, there are many calluses on the top of her palm.
Perhaps realizing this, Helena hesitated.
Unexpectedly, Mark saw through this, and before shaking hands and letting go, he quietly scratched her calluses with his nails.
They looked at each other and smiled, then Helena quickly lowered her head. She really didn't dare to let Mark see the red clouds on her cheeks.
This scene was witnessed by two non-human beings.
[Woo! Why did Mark accept Helena so easily, but dislike a cute little girl like me so much? Am I really the one holding him back?] The Bison girl was full of jealousy.
[Be more confident...remove the word "could it be".] Miss Doll is heartbroken.
Here, Mark was completely unaware of the private communication between the two extraordinary beings. He scratched his head: "Originally, I came to the door to find a way to repair Mini. Now that the workshop is gone, it seems that we have to find a way to save a workshop.
come out……"
After the words fell, Helena hesitated: "Actually, I also have a mobile workshop."
"Well?"
After a few minutes, Mark was completely shocked.
In this riverside villa, there is not only a garage, but also an extremely secret boat dock.
Coming here from the escape tunnel is just the starting point of the escape.
What appeared in front of Mark was a brand new inland river and ocean-going dual-purpose freighter that was 30 meters long, 5 meters wide, and had a displacement of 88 tons.
Helena hesitated: "Actually, my father gave me this boat last year. His request was that it can walk. I put all my daily necessities and personal tools on it... But now I am yours
If you become a follower, then this ship will also be yours."
If there was a mirror in front of him, Mark felt that he would definitely see himself in the mirror with a bunch of question marks on his forehead.
It is true that he saves people by the way, but he always feels that if he abducts people, he will also swallow up their property.
This operation is a bit too good.
It would be too hypocritical to say no, and Helena might even have strange negative thoughts.
In this world, people's negative mental energy is too strong, but there is a chance that it will become [abnormal].
In fact, the Wright Empire was surrounded by seas on both sides, with rivers all over the country and water transportation quite developed.
It would indeed be much more convenient to have a boat.
"Okay, I'll take the boat first, and when I have the money..."
"No need! No need!" Helena shook her head and waved her hands quickly: "You saved my life, twice! A boat is nothing. Let's talk about what you want me to do first."
Helena abruptly changed the subject, and Mark had no choice but to let her go.
Even the door of this dock is covered with a special rock camouflage. Unless you get close to within two meters, who can see clearly that the cracks on the 'rock' are relatively neat?
The fifteen-meter-high gate opened, and the engine drove the medium-sized ship out slowly at the lowest speed.
This is a remote stretch of river outside the city. There are basically no boats coming and going on weekdays, and there are not many residents along the coast.
With the help of Miss Bison, such a large boat sailed into the river like a phantom and slowly sailed to the mouth of the sea.
When there was no other ship in sight, Mark asked Helena to anchor and stop the ship.
In the spacious cabin, Helena saw Miss Honey for the first time.
"Ah! This is really magical..." Helena boldly rubbed the broken left side of Minnie's face.
Even though being stared at by a rotating gem eye can easily make people feel frightened, Helena still completed the examination.
"How?" Mark asked.
Helena sighed: "It's not that it can't be repaired, it's just that there is a lack of materials."
"Um?"
"As an A-level extraordinary being, Miss Mini naturally needs A-level mysterious materials for repair. Even if you use materials that don't pay attention to function and only require beauty, it must be of this level. Otherwise, once you enter the music box, ordinary
The repair materials will be rejected on the spot.”
This conclusion gave Mark a headache. Originally, he planned to 'invent' silicone, put it on Mini, and then carve it out, and that would be it.
It doesn't seem that simple now.
"What if I want to turn an ordinary material into a grade-A mysterious material?"
"There is no way. If, sir, you take the material into a highly mysterious inner world or alien plane, and use the highly mysterious power inside to soak the material for a long time, you can do it." Helena suddenly said.
After a while: "If you just enter the A-level space and want to get the same level of materials, it will take at least a year."
"What if it's an S-level world?"
Helena smiled bitterly: "For abnormal spaces, risks and benefits always coexist."
