Chapter 171 Crossbell founded the second sacrifice
(Crossbell’s Founding Tribute Part Two: Schmidt’s Visit)
A simple golden small guided airship with a total length of about ten meters, a full width of three meters, and a height of three meters stopped at an open platform on Mainz Mountain Road.
An energetic old man wearing a single-sided spectacles and a white coat stepped off the airship first, and behind him was a handsome young man with blue hair who carried his luggage.
The airship is a custom-made work designed by the old man himself. The maximum speed can reach three thousand Sel moments per hour. What is even more amazing is that only one person can drive this airship. But in fact, except for himself, no one else can do it.
Control this thing.
"Dr. Schmidt, I thought you would come by train."
"Huh, that's a waste of time. From Luray to Crossbell, it only takes an hour using an airship, and at least five hours using a train. Don't worry, Mark Lain. My airship has permission and identification numbers in all countries.
.It will not be shot down by the air force as an enemy, not to mention that the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture does not have an air force at all."
Schmidt originally planned to come to Crossbell by himself, but his travel plan was somehow known to the Railway Gendarmerie. The Railway Gendarmerie was very concerned about Schmidt's safety and originally planned to send a squadron to specifically
Protect him.
In order not to let tmp hinder him, Schmidt used the guided communication to contact the headquarters of the Partisan Association in Leman and asked them to send him a bodyguard.
After learning that Schmidt's destination was Crossbell, the Guerrilla Association headquarters naturally handed over the task to Crossbell's local snake, Wind Sword Saint Arios Marklein.
Arios couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Schmidt's words about the regrettable fact that Kezhou had no air force at all.
Even though he is a famous A-level guerrilla, in Schmidt's eyes, Arios is just a brat in his thirties. When he speaks, he does not care about or accommodate the latter's feelings at all.
"Rozenbelk Workshop, I didn't expect it to be the same as when I was a child." Arios said with some emotion.
"It has changed a lot from when I came here when I was young. I came here once before to investigate the distribution of the seven-flare stone veins in the continent of Samlia. Are you familiar with this place?"
"I can't say I'm familiar with it. I've only been here a few times. When I was a kid, I loved going to the Rainbow Theater Company's performances. I was also very curious about the magical stage devices used in the performances, so I sneaked over there. At that time, I even wanted to sneak in
I slipped in, but was discovered by the troupe leader."
Even the mature and steady Arios had a curious side when he was in his teens.
The two walked through the mountain path, and the monsters fled far away when they saw them. Arios, who was about to take action to clean up the monsters, was stunned. These monsters are really timid.
Schmidt didn't pay attention to this detail. He didn't know much about the habits of Warcraft, and he didn't know that ordinary Warcraft should have a strong "territorial awareness".
The two of them quickly reached the end of the steps, and the railing door slowly opened. A little girl with a height of only 80 miles and icy blue hair raised the maid's apron to the level of her waist and gave them a ladylike kiss.
Curtsy.
"Arukin has been waiting for you for a long time. Dr. Schmidt, Mr. Marklein, please come with me."
Arios immediately raised his guard after seeing the little guy, but when he saw Schmidt following him indifferently, he didn't say anything and just followed him silently.
"The dolls in this workshop are getting more and more exquisite. This is the first time I've seen a talking doll. What's your name, little guy?" Schmidt asked.
"I'm the maid Tie'ao. Doctor, just call me by my first name."
"I've never heard of a doll that can talk and move. And...are you really a doll?"
Arios was very busy and didn't even spend much time in Kezhou. He didn't have time to go to the central square to watch the outdoor theater every night, so he didn't know about the twins who played the main roles in many series of puppet shows.
I am already a big star that is popular in the streets and alleys of Kezhou. If you are a child who is still studying in Sunday school, you will definitely come over to ask for a photo with the little maid when you see her.
"Well, I'm not a human being. I don't need to eat or sleep. I'm a genuine doll, at least in a physical sense." The ice-blue-haired maid replied to the blue-haired young man.
"In a physical sense...I heard an interesting word." Schmidt was very sensitive to a certain word and made many associations from it.
Although Arios still wanted to ask something, they had reached their destination in the blink of an eye.
The overall tone is silver-white, with metal and stands criss-crossing to divide more than ten areas. In a huge space with a style that is completely different from the outside world, there are hundreds of various instruments on display. Each instrument is in progress
They were doing their own work, and the data was summarized and projected on the light curtain in the center. The strings of characters continued to flow on the light curtain like a tide. However, after the laboratory door was opened from the outside, the display of the data on the screen was
It paused momentarily.
The person who appeared in front of Schmidt and Arios was a violet-haired girl wearing a white coat. She was also the person they wanted to visit on this trip.
"Long time no see, Dr. Schmidt."
"So is Dr. Astley. The last time we met was the year before last."
"Well, let's talk about the defense."
Ling and Schmidt were quite familiar with each other. When she was still at the University of Technology, Schmidt would often come to her Astley Basic Science Research Laboratory, although it was not until much later that Ling learned that this old man was the legendary Third Doctor.
One of G Schmidt.
"Seeing such complete equipment here, I finally understand why you chose to leave the University of Technology."
"It doesn't matter. The resignation has nothing to do with that. I was a disciple of Rozenberk's workshop six years ago."
Only when facing fellow academic researchers, Ling didn't mind the other person calling her "Dr. Astley".
In addition to Schmidt, Arios also said hello. He was a little uncomfortable with Ling in a white coat. This intellectual temperament was different from his impression of the person holding a giant sword and confronting him.
It's hard to think of one piece after it's been chopped off.
"Although I have long known from the association's information that you are a member of the academic community, I have never had a solid understanding of this. Which one is the real you, a scholar or a warrior?" I found out that Ling is Rozenberk's.
Arios naturally thought of the fight that took place in early 1199. Since everyone lives in Kezhou, it is not surprising that they will meet sooner or later. But this is his misunderstanding. Ling has only been in Kezhou since this year.
Live here. I have been living in the Empire before.
"It's both sides. Cultivation and research are my life. In my opinion, there is no conflict between the two. Sword Master of the Wind, it has been a long time since Liber last said goodbye. What a coincidence.
That was exactly 180 days ago."
The last time I met Arios was Wednesday, October 9, 1202, the Seven Years Calendar, the day Joshua took the Occult Examination. Today is Monday, April 7, 1203, the Seven Years Calendar, the day Crossbell founded
The first day of the festival. Since the end of the gospel plan, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
"I don't know how to thank you for my daughter's matter. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
Arios knelt down on one knee and saluted Ling. There is no etiquette of kowtow in West Semria. Kneeling down is the custom of the East Semria continent. In the west, the knight's ceremony is almost the most formal and advanced way to express respect.
way.
What he said was that the clinical ophthalmology data provided by Ling from the floating city were indeed useful. Xiaodi's surgery had been successful and her eyesight had been restored. Not long ago, Ling was dragged to the hospital by Estil to visit her.
Woolen cloth.
"After all, you are Tio's benefactor. If you can help, Tio will also be happy."
"That's not how things work out. Grace is grace, and righteousness is righteousness. It cannot be generalized. It may be just a piece of cake for you, but it is extremely precious to me."
Rescuing Tio was just a task for Sergeban, the ace of the Investigation Section 1 of the Kezhou Police Station, and rescuing Ling was just a superfluous move by Reinhardt and Joshua. It didn’t take a lot of effort for them at the time.
, but it is a completely different feeling for the rescued parties.
The cause and effect between Ling and Wiseman was connected in an indirect way, so she felt that she could wipe it out in a tit-for-tat manner.
However, Levi and Xiao Yue were Ling's benefactors. The debt of saving her from purgatory might never be repaid in her lifetime, and she had no intention of repaying it at all.
The superficial thought of trying to repay Tio by helping Xiaodi is just wishful thinking on her part, and it can even be said to be meaningless.
"Then I won't be polite." Ling, who had figured out the matter, happily accepted Arios's gift.
"Okay, you're done greeting each other. Let's stop talking about old times. Let's get down to business. I came to see you because I have something serious to discuss." Dr. Schmidt opened it and saluted, and took out a thick stack of experimental records. Ling opened it.
After scanning a few pages, she found some familiar empirical formulas. After realizing what they were, she asked Dr. Schmidt to wait.
The "significant discovery" that made Schmidt come over to discuss it with her also made Ling elated. Ling pretended very well not to show her excitement on her face.
"Next, Dr. Schmidt and I will discuss some technical issues. I will ensure Dr. Schmidt's safety. Arios, do you want to meet Tio? That child has wanted to see you for a long time, but you
She has been on a business trip all the time, and she never had a chance to see you alone."
"Humph, Mark Klein, please don't stay here. It's very troublesome for outsiders to be here." Schmidt also hurriedly drove them away.
Even his employer said this. Arios smiled bitterly and went to the study room next door under the leadership of the maid Tieo.
That was the place where Tio Prato usually used to read and write. After all, they had not seen each other for a long time. Arios was also somewhat concerned about how the child with a tragic experience was doing now.
